The Breakup 2.0

Disconnecting over New Media Ilana Gershon

“If you are ending a relationship, what does it matter if the ending is announced on cream stationery, by text message, or in a face-to-face conversation? Breaking up is breaking up. Yet for everyone I have spoken to about this, it matters: When someone says ‘she broke up with me by texting,’ not much more needs to be said. Because breakups are often so emotionally charged and confusing, these are the moments in which people also begin talking with each other and evaluating how to use a particular medium. By talking, and often criticizing, the ways the breakup was accomplished, people also were laying the groundwork for shared understandings of how to use different media.” —from The Breakup 2.0 A few generations ago, college students showed their romantic commitments by exchanging special objects: rings, pins, varsity letter jackets. Pins and rings were handy, telling everyone in local communities that you were spoken for, and when you broke up, the absence of a ring let everyone know you were available again. Is being Facebook official really more complicated, or are status updates just a new version of these old tokens? Many people are now fascinated by how new media has affected the intricacies of relationships and their dissolution. People often talk about Facebook and Twitter as platforms that have led to a seismic shift in transparency and (over)sharing. What are the new rules for breaking up? These rules are argued over and mocked in venues from the New York Times to lamebook.com, but well-thought-out and informed considerations of the topic are rare. Ilana Gershon was intrigued by the degree to which her students used new media to communicate important romantic information—such as “it’s over.” She decided to get to the bottom of the matter by interviewing seventy-two people about how they use Skype, texting, voice mail, instant messaging, Facebook, and cream stationery to end relationships. She opens up the world of romance as it is conducted in a digital milieu, offering insights into the ways in which different media influence behavior, beliefs, and social mores. Above all, this fullfledged ethnography of Facebook and other new tools is about technology and communication, but it also tells the reader a great deal about what college students expect from each other when breaking up—and from their friends who are the spectators or witnesses to the ebb and flow of their relationships. The Breakup 2.0 is accessible and riveting. Ilana gershon is Assistant Professor of Communication and Culture at Indiana University.

“The Breakup 2.0 is a fascinating and thoroughly researched anthropological account of how Facebook, instant messaging, and texting reformat the media ecologies within which today’s friendships and romantic relationships function and fracture. There is nothing ‘virtual,’ Ilana Gershon shows, about these online arenas. Across a wide range of human relations, the form of interaction turns out to be just as crucial as its content.” —Stefan Helmreich, MIT

the Nature of New york

An Environmental History of the Empire State David Stradling
From the arrival of Henry Hudson’s Half Moon in the estuarial waters of what would come to be called New York Harbor to the 2006 agreement that laid out plans for General Electric to clean up the PCBs it pumped into the river named after Hudson, this work offers a sweeping environmental history of New York State. David Stradling shows how New York’s varied landscape and abundant natural resources have played a fundamental role in shaping the state’s culture and economy. Simultaneously, he underscores the extent to which New Yorkers have, through such projects as the excavation of the Erie Canal and the construction of highways and reservoir systems, changed the landscape of their state. Surveying all of New York State since first contact between Europeans and the region’s indigenous inhabitants, Stradling finds within its borders an amazing array of environmental features, such as Niagara Falls; human intervention through agriculture, urbanization, and industrialization; and symbols, such as Storm King Mountain, that effectively define the New York identity. Stradling demonstrates that the history of the state can be charted by means of epochs that represent stages in the development and redefinition of our relationship to our natural surroundings and the built environment; New York State has gone through cycles of deforestation and reforestation, habitat destruction and restoration that track shifts in population distribution, public policy, and the economy. Understanding these patterns, their history, and their future prospects is essential to comprehending the Empire State in all its complexity.

“David Stradling’s survey of New York’s nature over four hundred years—from the Lenape and Leatherstocking to Levittown and Love Canal—is a marvel of environmental writing. In at times heartbreaking detail, he reminds us that New York, like anywhere, is a living place—pristine, violated, cleansed, preserved—where humans are just one organism, a part of and apart from the destiny of the place.” —Gerard Koeppel, author of Water for Gotham: A History and Bond of Union: Building the Erie Canal and the American Empire

Robert Moses, 6,000 Families, and New York City’s Great Experiment in Integrated Housing Peter Eisenstadt
From 1963 to 1965 roughly 6,000 families moved into Rochdale Village, at the time the world’s largest housing cooperative, in southeastern Queens County. The moderate-income cooperative attracted families from a diverse background, white and black, to what was a predominantly black neighborhood. In its early years, Rochdale was widely hailed as one of the few successful large-scale efforts to create an integrated community in New York City or, for that matter, anywhere in the United States. Rochdale was built by the United Housing Foundation. Its president, Abraham Kazan, had been the major builder of low-cost cooperative housing in New York City for decades. His partner in many of these ventures was Robert Moses. Their work together was a marriage of opposites: Kazan’s utopian-anarchist strain of social idealism with its roots in the early twentieth century Jewish labor movement combined with Moses’s hardheaded, no-nonsense pragmatism. Peter Eisenstadt recounts the history of Rochdale Village’s first years, from the controversies over its planning, to the civil rights demonstrations at its construction site in 1963, through the late 1970s, tracing the rise and fall of integration in the cooperative. (Today, although Rochdale is no longer integrated, it remains a successful and vibrant cooperative that is a testament to the ideals of its founders and the hard work of its residents.) Rochdale’s problems were a microcosm of those of the city as a whole— troubled schools, rising levels of crime, fallout from the disastrous teachers’ strike of 1968, and generally heightened racial tensions. By the end of the 1970s few white families remained. Drawing on exhaustive archival research, extensive interviews with the planners and residents, and his own childhood experiences growing up in Rochdale Village, Eisenstadt offers an insightful and engaging look at what it was like to live in Rochdale and explores the community’s place in the postwar history of America’s cities and in the still unfinished quests for racial equality and affordable urban housing.

Rochdale Village

“Rochdale Village encourages us all to think again about what was possible in the postwar American city and why we are only now recapturing some hope for racial harmony. In a book that combines the impact and immediacy of a memoir with the authority of deep research, Eisenstadt brilliantly depicts many remarkable personalities and voices. His own experience becomes an integral part of the larger historical project: to show how a remarkable community and its ideals took shape, flourished for a time, and then was caught up in the racial conflicts it was designed to remedy.”—robert Fishman, University of Michigan, author of Bourgeois Utopias: The Rise and Fall of Suburbia

she was One of us

Eleanor Roosevelt and the American Worker Brigid O’Farrell
Although born to a life of privilege and married to the President of the United States, Eleanor Roosevelt was a staunch and lifelong advocate for workers and, for more than twenty-five years, a proud member of the AFL-CIO’s Newspaper Guild. She Was One of Us tells for the first time the story of her deep and lasting ties to the American labor movement. Brigid O’Farrell follows Roosevelt—one of the most admired and, in her time, controversial women in the world—from the tenements of New York City to the White House, from local union halls to the convention floor of the AFL-CIO, from coal mines to political rallies to the United Nations. Roosevelt worked with activists around the world to develop a shared vision of labor rights as human rights, which are central to democracy. In her view, everyone had the right to a decent job, fair working conditions, a living wage, and a voice at work. She Was One of Us provides a fresh and compelling account of her activities on behalf of workers, her guiding principles, her circle of friends—including Rose Schneiderman of the Women’s Trade Union League and the garment unions and Walter Reuther, “the most dangerous man in Detroit”—and her adversaries, such as the influential journalist Westbrook Pegler, who attacked her as a dilettante and her labor allies as “thugs and extortioners.” As O’Farrell makes clear, Roosevelt was not afraid to take on opponents of workers’ rights or to criticize labor leaders if they abused their power; she never wavered in her support for the rank and file. Today, union membership has declined to levels not seen since the Great Depression, and the silencing of American workers has contributed to rising inequality. In She Was One of Us, Eleanor Roosevelt’s voice can once again be heard by those still working for social justice and human rights.

“Eleanor Roosevelt found the American labor movement a crucial ally in her efforts to advance democracy and human rights. In She Was One of Us, Brigid O’Farrell tells us why. Along the way, we also get an entertaining and fresh slice of American labor history and even-handed treatments of such controversial subjects as the cold war divide in the labor movement and the debates over the Equal Rights Amendment. She Was One of Us has many fine features and deserves a wide audience.”—Dorothy Sue Cobble, Rutgers University, author of The Other Women’s Movement

Brigid O’Farrell is an Affiliated Scholar with The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project at George Washington University. She is coauthor of Rocking the Boat: Union Women’s Voices 1915–1975 and coeditor of Work and Family: Policies for a Changing Work Force.

the Other Dickens

CliCk here for more information

A Life of Catherine Hogarth Lillian Nayder
Catherine Hogarth, who came from a cultured Scots family, married Charles Dickens in 1836, the same year he began serializing his first novel. Together they traveled widely, entertained frequently, and raised ten children. In 1858, the celebrated writer pressured Catherine to leave their home, unjustly alleging that she was mentally disordered—unfit and unloved as wife and mother. Constructing a plotline nearly as powerful as his stories of Scrooge and Little Nell, Dickens created the image of his wife as a depressed and uninteresting figure, using two of her three sisters against her, by measuring her presumed weaknesses against their strengths. This self-serving fiction is still widely accepted. In the first comprehensive biography of Catherine Dickens, Lillian Nayder debunks this tale in retelling it, wresting away from the famous novelist the power to shape his wife’s story. Nayder demonstrates that the Dickenses’ marriage was long a happy one; more important, she shows that the figure we know only as “Mrs. Charles Dickens” was also a daughter, sister, and friend, a loving mother and grandmother, a capable household manager, and an intelligent person whose company was valued and sought by a wide circle of women and men. Making use of the Dickenses’ banking records and legal papers as well as their correspondence with friends and family members, Nayder challenges the long-standing view of Catherine Dickens and offers unparalleled insights into the relations among the four Hogarth sisters, reclaiming those cherished by the famous novelist as Catherine’s own and illuminating her special bond with her youngest sister, Helen, her staunchest ally during the marital breakdown. Drawing on little-known, unpublished material and forcing Catherine’s husband from center stage, The Other Dickens revolutionizes our perception of the Dickens family dynamic, illuminates the legal and emotional ambiguities of Catherine’s position as a “single” wife, and deepens our understanding of what it meant to be a woman in the Victorian age.

“Lillian Nayder’s eagerly awaited biography uses Catherine’s voice and the voices of friends, family members, and other contemporaries to free the telling of her story from the distorting effects of its mediation by Dickens and his biographers. Catherine emerges from Nayder’s compelling account as a much more complex figure than she has hitherto been shown to be, defined not just by her marriage to Dickens, but by other relationships and as the mistress of a substantial middleclass establishment.”—catherine Waters, University of Kent, author of Dickens and the Politics of the Family and Commodity Culture in Dickens’s ‘Household Words’

A Journey into Uncertainty and Prejudice in Medical Diagnosis Chloë G. K. Atkins

My Imaginary Illness

Clinical Commentary by Brian David Hodges, MD Foreword by Bonnie Blair O’Connor

At age twenty-one, Chloë Atkins began suffering from a mysterious illness, the symptoms of which rapidly worsened. Paralyzed for months at a time, she frequently required intubation and life support. She eventually became quadriplegic, dependent both on a wheelchair and on health professionals who refused to believe there was anything physically wrong with her. When test after test returned inconclusive results, Atkins’s doctors pronounced her symptoms psychosomatic. Atkins was told not only that she was going to die but also that this was her own fault; they concluded she was so emotionally deranged that she was willing her own death. My Imaginary Illness is the compelling story of Atkins’s decadeslong battle with a disease deemed imaginary, her immersion in the world of psychotherapy, and her excruciating physical and emotional journey back to wellness. After a succession of doctors misdiagnosed and pigeonholed her, standing in the way of her recovery, she was ultimately diagnosed with an atypical form of myasthenia gravis, a rare neuromuscular autoimmune disease. This correct diagnosis led to appropriate treatment, and Atkins regained mobility. Atkins provides a narrative critique of contemporary medicine and its problematic handling of uncertainty and of symptoms that are not easily diagnosed or known. She convincingly illustrates that medicine’s belief in evidence-based practice does not mean that individual doctors are capable of objectivity, nor that the presence of biomedical ethics invokes ethical practices in hospitals and clinics. A foreword by Bonnie O’Connor, who teaches medical students how to listen to patients, and a clinical commentary by Dr. Brian David Hodges, a professor of psychiatry, enrich the book’s narrative with practical guidance for medical practitioners and patients alike.

“My Imaginary Illness recounts a lengthy struggle that includes many failures of efforts to diagnose and treat a strange and increasingly debilitating disease by clinicians both kind and empathic and distant to the point of hostility. Yet it is not a vehicle for ‘doctor-bashing’ or bitterness. Rather it is a tale of perseverance and problem solving that reveals along the way some worrisome fault lines in our healthcare culture, and the strains in current professional training models and work conditions that underlie them.”—from the foreword by Bonnie Blair O’Connor chloë g. k. Atkins is Associate Professor at the University of Calgary. Brian David Hodges, MD, is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto and Director of the Wilson Centre for Research in Education. Bonnie Blair O’Connor is Assistant Director of Pediatric Residency at Hasbro Children’s Hospital/Brown Medical School.

A Field Guide George R. Angehr and Robert Dean
The isthmus of Panama, where North and South America meet, hosts more bird species than all of North America. More accessible than ever to birdwatchers and other ecotourists, the country has become a premier neotropical birding and nature tourism destination in recent years. The Birds of Panama will be an essential tool for the new generation of birders traveling in search of Panama’s spectacular avifauna. This user-friendly, portable, and affordable identification guide features: • large color illustrations of more than 900 species. • the first range maps published to show the distribution of Panama’s birds. • concise text that describes field marks for identification, as well as habitat, behavior, and vocalizations. • range maps and species accounts face illustration pages for quick, easy reference. • the inclusion of North American migrants and seabirds, as well as female and juvenile plumage variations. • an up-to-date species list for the country that reflects recent additions, taxonomic splits, and other changes in classification. Panama’s unique geography, small size, and varied habitats make it possible to see a vast diversity of birds within a short time. Its western and central areas harbor representatives of species found in Central America; species characteristic of South America may be found in the east. In the winter, birds from northern climes are commonly found in Panama as migrants. This is the one field guide the novice or experienced birder needs to identify birds in the field in Panama’s diverse habitats.

the Just city
Susan S. Fainstein
For much of the twentieth century improvement in the situation of disadvantaged communities was a focus for urban planning and policy. Yet over the past three decades the ideological triumph of neoliberalism has caused the allocation of spatial, political, economic, and financial resources to favor economic growth at the expense of wider social benefits. Susan Fainstein’s concept of the “just city” encourages planners and policymakers to embrace a different approach to urban development. Her objective is to combine progressive city planners’ earlier focus on equity and material well-being with considerations of diversity and participation so as to foster a better quality of urban life within the context of a global capitalist political economy. Fainstein applies theoretical concepts about justice developed by contemporary philosophers to the concrete problems faced by urban planners and policymakers and argues that, despite structural obstacles, meaningful reform can be achieved at the local level. In the first half of The Just City, Fainstein draws on the work of John Rawls, Martha Nussbaum, Iris Marion Young, Nancy Fraser, and others to develop an approach to justice relevant to twenty-first-century cities, one that incorporates three central concepts: diversity, democracy, and equity. In the book’s second half, Fainstein tests her ideas through case studies of New York, London, and Amsterdam by evaluating their postwar programs for housing and development in relation to the three norms. She concludes by identifying a set of specific criteria for urban planners and policymakers to consider when developing programs to assure greater justice in both the process of their formulation and their effects.

“The Just City provides a much-needed review of a set of issues that bedevil planners and scholars, issues often framed as plan vs. market, equity vs. efficiency, or participation vs. power. Susan S. Fainstein’s formulation and working through of justice and its three components of democracy, diversity, and equity are very helpful.”—william w. Goldsmith, Cornell University

Activists in city Hall

The Progressive Response to the Reagan Era in Boston and Chicago Pierre Clavel
In 1983, Boston and Chicago elected progressive mayors with deep roots among community activists. Taking office as the Reagan administration was withdrawing aid the federal government had previously supplied to local governments, Boston’s Raymond Flynn and Chicago’s Harold Washington implemented major policies that would outlast them. More than reforming governments, they changed the substance of what the government was trying to do: above all, to effect a measure of redistribution of resources to the cities’ poor and working classes and away from hollow goals of “growth” as measured by the accumulation of skyscrapers. In Boston, Flynn moderated an office development boom while securing millions of dollars for affordable housing. In Chicago, Washington implemented concrete measures to save manufacturing jobs, against the tide of national policy and trends. Activists in City Hall examines how both mayors achieved their objectives by incorporating neighborhood activists as a new organizational force in devising, debating, implementing, and shaping policy. Based on extensive archival research enriched by details and insights gleaned from hours of interviews with key figures in each administration and each city’s activist community, Pierre Clavel argues that key to the success of each mayor were numerous factors: productive contacts between city hall and neighborhood activists, strong social bases for their agendas, administrative innovations, and alternative visions of the city. Comparing the experiences of Boston and Chicago with those of other contemporary progressive cities—Hartford, Berkeley, Madison, Santa Cruz, Santa Monica, Burlington, and San Francisco—Activists in City Hall provides a new account of progressive urban politics during the Reagan era and offers many valuable lessons for policymakers, city planners, and progressive political activists.

“Pierre Clavel’s Activists in City Hall is an important history of progressivism at the city and local government level. His extensive interviews, firsthand observation, and careful use of a mostly ignored literature all make an important contribution to urban studies, political science, urban planning, and history.”—Dick Simpson, University of Illinois at Chicago, author of Inside Urban Politics

In this sweeping portrait of the political culture of the early People’s Republic of China (PRC), Chang-tai Hung mines newly available sources to vividly reconstruct how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) tightened its rule after taking power in 1949. With political-cultural projects such as reconstructing Tiananmen Square to celebrate the Communist Revolution; staging national parades; rewriting official histories; mounting a visual propaganda campaign, including oil paintings, cartoons, and New Year prints; and establishing a national cemetery for heroes of the Revolution, the CCP built up nationalistic fervor in the people and affirmed its legitimacy. These projects came under strong Soviet influence, but the nationalistic Chinese Communists sought an independent road of nation building; for example, they decided that the reconstructed Tiananmen Square should surpass Red Square in size and significance, against the advice of Soviet experts sent from Moscow.

“Mao’s New World offers a broad new narrative of the first decade of Communist rule, focusing on the Party’s use of culture in establishing its new political order. Chang-tai Hung provides an expansive, panoramic view of the first decade of the People’s Republic that makes clear the central place of the arts in the Party’s political strategy.”—Richard Kraus, University of Oregon, author of Pianos and Politics in China

Combining historical, cultural, and anthropological inquiries, Mao’s New World examines how Mao Zedong and senior Party leaders transformed the PRC into a propaganda state in the first decade of their rule (1949–1959). Using archival sources only recently made available, previously untapped government documents, visual materials, memoirs, and interviews with surviving participants in the Party’s plans, Hung argues that the exploitation of new cultural forms for political ends was one of the most significant achievements of the Chinese Communist Revolution. The book features sixty-six images of architecture, monuments, and artwork to document how the CCP invented the heroic tales of the Communist Revolution.

Chang-tai Hung is Chair Professor of Humanities at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He is the author of War and Popular Culture: Resistance in Modern China, 1937–1945 and Going to the People: Chinese Intellectuals and Folk Literature, 1918–1937.

Imperial Japan at Its Zenith
The Wartime Celebration of the Empire’s 2,600th Anniversary Kenneth J. Ruoff

CliCk here for more information

In 1940, Japan was into its third year of war with China and relations with the United States were deteriorating, but it was a heady time for the Japanese nonetheless. That year, the Japanese commemorated the 2,600th anniversary of the founding of the Empire of Japan. According to the imperial myth-history, Emperor Jimmu, descended from the Sun Goddess Amaterasu, established the “unbroken imperial line” in 660 BCE. In carefully choreographed ceremonies throughout the empire, through new public monuments, with visual culture, and through heritage tourism, the Japanese celebrated the extension of imperial rule under the 124th emperor, Hirohito. These celebrations, the climactic moment for the ideology that was central to modern Japan’s identity until the imperial cult’s legitimacy was bruised by defeat in 1945, are little known outside Japan. Imperial Japan at Its Zenith, the first book in English about the 2,600th anniversary, examines the themes of the celebration and what they tell us about Japan at mid-century. Kenneth J. Ruoff emphasizes that wartime Japan did not reject modernity in favor of nativist traditionalism. Instead, like Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, it embraced reactionary modernism. Ruoff also highlights the role played by the Japanese people in endorsing and promoting imperial ideology and expansion, documenting the significant grassroots support for the cult of the emperor and for militarism. Ruoff uses the anniversary celebrations to examine Japan’s invention of a national history; the complex relationship between the homeland and the colonies; the significance of Imperial Japan’s challenge to Euro-American claims of racial and cultural superiority; the role of heritage tourism in inspiring national pride; Japan’s wartime fascist modernity; and, with a chapter about overseas Japanese, the boundaries of the Japanese nation. Packed with intriguing anecdotes, incisive analysis, and revelatory illustrations, Imperial Japan at Its Zenith is a major contribution to our understanding of wartime Japan.

“Kenneth J. Ruoff has identified a fascinating moment to serve as a focus for his reassessment of modernity in the Japanese Empire. The 2,600th anniversary celebration, as he so vividly shows, was an enormous and richly choreographed event, but it has been largely neglected by historians. Imperial Japan at Its Zenith is full of fascinating information based on a prodigious amount of archival research.” —Tessa Morris-Suzuki, Australian National university

red brethren

The Brothertown and Stockbridge Indians and the Problem of Race in Early America David J. Silverman
New England Indians created the multitribal Brothertown and Stockbridge communities during the eighteenth century with the intent of using Christianity and reforms to cope with white expansion. In Red Brethren, David J. Silverman considers the stories of these communities, led first by Samson Occom, and argues that Indians in early America were racial thinkers in their own right and that indigenous people rallied together as Indians not only in the context of violent resistance but also in campaigns to adjust peacefully to white dominion. All too often, the Indians discovered that their many concessions to white demands earned them no relief. In the era of the American Revolution, the pressure of white settlements forced the Brothertowns and Stockbridges from New England to Oneida country in upstate New York. During the early nineteenth century, whites forced these Indians from Oneida country, too. The Stockbridge leaders John and Austin Quinney responded by negotiating the migration of the communities to Wisconsin. Tired of moving, in the 1830s and 1840s, the Brothertowns and Stockbridges became some of the first Indians to accept U.S. citizenship, which they called “becoming white,” in the hope that this status would enable them to remain as Indians in Wisconsin. Even then, whites would not leave them alone. Red Brethren traces the evolution of Indian ideas about race under this relentless pressure. In the early seventeenth century, indigenous people did not conceive of themselves as Indian. They sharpened their sense of Indian identity as they realized that Christianity would not bridge their many differences with whites, and as they fought to keep blacks out of their communities. The stories of Brothertown and Stockbridge shed light on the dynamism of Indians’ own racial history and the place of Indians in the racial history of early America.

“In this deeply researched and beautifully written book, David J. Silverman tells the history of the Brothertown community and elegantly expresses the dilemma of race as Indians in America faced it on a daily basis over several centuries. Promised independence and survival if they adopted the trappings of civilization—Christianity, plow agriculture, and European-style clothing, houses, and manners—they discovered that these were false promises and that, in the end, their racial difference as Indians mattered most to the Euroamericans who surrounded them, no matter where they attempted to root their community.” —Nancy Shoemaker, author of A Strange Likeness: Becoming Red and White in Eighteenth-Century North America

Homeland, Identity, and Religion in Israel, 1925–2005 Nadav G. Shelef
“Evolving Nationalism is a terrific, even amazing book. It is well ahead of the disciplinary curve. Shelef joins granular case knowledge to well-conceived, theoretically rigorous social science. But what makes the book unique is his sophisticated and effective deployment of evolutionary theory to solve the problem of explaining how seemingly deeply held ideological beliefs change over time without being guided by elites or by direct adaptation to changing incentives. His story about the ideological trajectory of the Zionist right is fascinating, but his analysis reaches far beyond the story and will have an impact on the discipline as a whole.”—Ian S. lustick, University of Pennsylvania, author of Unsettled States, Disputed Lands Evolving Nationalism examines how the idea of Israel as a nationstate has developed within Zionist and Israeli discourse over the past eight decades. Nadav G. Shelef focuses on the changing ways in which the main nationalist movements answered three distinct questions in their private and public ideological articulations between 1925 and 2005: Where is the “Land of Israel”? Who ought to be Israeli? What should the Zionist national mission be? Framed within broader debates about how and why changes in foundational definitions of the nation occur, Shelef’s analysis centers on the mechanisms of ideological change and then subjects them to empirical scrutiny. He thus moves beyond the common but problematic assumptions that such transformations must be either a rare, rational adaptation to traumatic shock or a relatively constant product of manipulation by power-hungry elites. He finds that nationalist movements, including radical and religious fundamentalist ones, can and do change cardinal components of their ideological beliefs in both moderating and radicalizing directions. These changes have more to do with the unguided consequences of engagement in dayto-day politics than with strategic reaction to new realities, the use of force, or the changing incentives of leaders. Engaging with some of the most contentious debates about the nature of Israeli nationalism and the geographic, religious, and ethnic definition of the state of Israel, Shelef has made signal contributions to our understanding of Middle East politics and of the ideological underpinnings of nationalism itself.

Evolving Nationalism

“Evolving Nationalism is a delight. It will make a significant contribution to nationalist theory, moving it from some of its overdetermined and too-pat explanations and to an understanding of the history of Israel. I found Nadav G. Shelef’s approach very persuasive and his use of evidence judicious and convincing.” —Joel S. Migdal, University of Washington

The Road to Evergreen

Adoption, Attachment Therapy, and the Promise of Family Rachael Stryker

“The Road to Evergreen is an expertly written, ethnographically rich treatment of reactive attachment disorder (RAD). Rachael Stryker repositions RAD as more than a medical behavioral diagnosis; she argues that it is in fact a symptom of overwrought desires of private, nuclear kinship that revolve around children as emotional assets.”—Sara Dorow, University of alberta Reactive attachment disorder (RAD) is a psychiatric condition affecting children that is characterized by inappropriate and sometimes disturbing ways of relating socially to others, including parents. Relatively rare, RAD is thought to arise from a failure to form close attachments to primary caregivers in early childhood due to abrupt or prolonged separation, neglect, or abuse. In the United States, the incidence of RAD increased in the 1990s as Americans began to adopt an unprecedented number of formerly institutionalized children from orphanages abroad and from within American child welfare systems. To help resolve the extreme behavioral problems exhibited by their children, many adoptive parents are now turning to a controversial but popular treatment: attachment therapy. In The Road to Evergreen, Rachael Stryker provides an in-depth exploration of the theory, implementation, and culture of attachment therapy as it is practiced in Evergreen, Colorado, the center of RAD treatment in the United States. To understand RAD and the Evergreen model, Stryker conducted interviews with client families at an attachment clinic in Evergreen, other American adoptive families, participants in the Denver foster care system, and personnel at international adoption agencies and orphanages. At the center of Stryker’s analysis is the disjuncture between the ideal of family life and the reality of caring for formerly institutionalized children. American parents who have pledged to offer unconditional love are at a loss when children offer indifference, hostility, destructiveness, or outright violence in return. Stryker demonstrates that the Evergreen model, with its goal of emotionally rehabilitating adoptees to prevent their eventual exile from families, is an important component of a cultural logic for preserving adoptive family in the United States. However, the therapy does not always deliver the promised happy ending. Stryker’s clear and balanced account of attachment therapy will be useful in informing and reforming both adoption practice and pediatric psychology.

“The Road to Evergreen features extensive interview data from adoptive parents, adopted children, and social service providers both in the United States and Russia. Rachael Stryker clearly gained the trust of these individuals, in many instances developing ongoing relationships that lasted for several years. She is obviously a gifted interviewer and does an admirable job of seamlessly weaving vignettes into the text. These rich interview materials are very effective and give the reader a real sense of the experiences of the people involved.”—Jean Schroedel, claremont graduate university

How Diversity Works on Campus Susan E. Chase

CliCk here for more information

Over the past three decades, colleges and universities have committed to encouraging, embracing, and supporting diversity as a core principle of their mission. But how are goals for achieving and maintaining diversity actually met? What is the role of students in this mission? When a university is committed to diversity, what is campus culture like? In Learning to Speak, Learning to Listen, Susan E. Chase portrays how undergraduates at a predominantly white urban institution, which she calls “City University” (a pseudonym), learn to speak and listen to each other across social differences. Chase interviewed a wide range of students and conducted content analyses of the student newspaper, student government minutes, curricula, and website to document diversity debates at this university. Amid various controversies, she identifies a defining moment in the campus culture: a protest organized by students of color to highlight the university’s failure to live up to its diversity commitments. Some white students dismissed the protest, some were hostile to it, and some fully engaged their peers of color. In a book that will be useful to students and educators on campuses undergoing diversity initiatives, Chase finds that both students’ willingness to share personal stories about their diverse experiences and collaboration among student organizations, student affairs offices, and academic programs encourage speaking and listening across differences and help incorporate diversity as part of the overall mission of the university.

“Learning to Speak, Learning to Listen approaches the important issues of racialization and antiracist activism in an innovative way. While Susan E. Chase focuses on one college in particular, the dynamics she highlights have implications for many other college and university settings.”—Nancy a. Naples, university of connecticut

Contract Professionals in the New Economy Debra Osnowitz
“Freelancing Expertise is a detailed and nuanced description of important dimensions of contracting work today. Debra Osnowitz asks how contractors manage the risks that are entailed when they lack a steady employment contract. While analyzing the experiences of professional contractors in the fields of high technology and publishing, Osnowitz provides comparisons to people in similar occupations who are regular employees and people in similar temporary employment relations but in different occupations. Osnowitz’s understanding of how an external labor market works is very original and cutting edge.” —Vicki Smith, University of California, Davis, coauthor of The Good Temp Contract work is more important than ever—for better or for worse, depending on one’s perspective. The security once implied by a full-time job with a stable employer is becoming rarer, thereby erasing one of the major distinctions between “freelance work” and a “steady gig.” Why hang on to a regular job for the sake of security if security can no longer be assumed? Instead, contractors, hired temporarily for specific knowledge and skills, market their expertise as they move from project to project. Even though their employment is precarious, a great many consider freelancing preferable to holding a regular job: the control they feel over their time and careers is well worth the risks that come with relatively uncertain cash flow. Freelancing Expertise is a qualitative study of decision making, work practices, and occupational processes among writers and editors who work in print and Web communications and programmers and engineers who work in software and systems development. Debra Osnowitz conducted sixty-eight extended interviews with representatives of both groups and twelve interviews with managers and recruiters, observed four different work settings in which contractors work alongside employees, and monitored blogs and online discussions among contractors. As a result, she provides a unique and sensitive assessment of a cultural shift in occupations and organizations. Osnowitz calls for a reconfiguration of the employer/employee relationship that accepts more variation and flexibility: just as freelancing has, over time, taken on many traits considered characteristic of traditional career paths, so might regular jobs make themselves more appealing to today’s workforce by mimicking some of the positive aspects of transactions between clients and contract workers.

The Influence and Legacy of a Nursing Icon Edited by Sioban Nelson and Anne Marie Rafferty
Foreword by Rachel Verney
“Notes on Nightingale is an extraordinary achievement, bringing together some of the world’s most eminent Nightingale scholars; it explodes myths, develops sophisticated lines of analysis, and reveals the full range of achievements of one of the world’s most iconic figures. In doing so, it also provides a lens through which we might view that most elusive of modern arts: nursing.”—Christine Hallett, Director, the UK Centre for the History of Nursing and Midwifery, the University of manchester Florence Nightingale remains an inspiration to nurses around the world for her pioneering work treating wounded British soldiers during the Crimean War; authorship of Notes on Nursing, the foundational text for nursing practice; establishing the world’s first nursing school; and advocacy for the hygienic treatment of patients and sanitary design of hospitals. In Notes on Nightingale, nursing historians and scholars offer their valuable reflections on Nightingale and analysis of her role in the profession a century after her death on 13 August 1910 and 150 years since the Nightingale School of Nursing (now the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery at King’s College, London) opened its doors to probationers at St Thomas’ Hospital. There is a great deal of controversy about Nightingale— opinions about her life and work range from blind worship to blanket denunciation. The question of Nightingale and her place in nursing history and in contemporary nursing discourse is a topic of continuing interest for nursing students, teachers, and professional associations. This book offers new scholarship on Nightingale’s work in the Crimea and the British colonies and her connection to the emerging science of statistics, as well as valuable reevaluations of her evolving legacy and the surrounding myths, symbolism, and misconceptions.

Aversion and erasure

The Fate of the Victim after the Holocaust Carolyn J. Dean
In Aversion and Erasure, Carolyn J. Dean offers a bold account of how the Holocaust’s status as humanity’s most terrible example of evil has shaped contemporary discourses about victims in the West. Popular and scholarly attention to the Holocaust has led some observers to conclude that a “surfeit of Jewish memory” is obscuring the suffering of other peoples. Dean explores the pervasive idea that suffering and trauma in the United States and Western Europe have become central to identity, with victims competing for recognition by displaying their collective wounds. She argues that this notion has never been examined systematically even though it now possesses the force of self-evidence. It developed in nascent form after World War II, when the near-annihilation of European Jewry began to transform patriotic mourning into a slogan of “Never Again”: as the Holocaust demonstrated, all people might become victims because of their ethnicity, race, gender, or sexuality—because of who they are. The recent concept that suffering is central to identity and that Jewish suffering under Nazism is iconic of modern evil has dominated public discourse since the 1980s. Dean argues that we believe that the rational contestation of grievances in democratic societies is being replaced by the proclamation of injury and the desire to be a victim. Such dramatic and yet culturally powerful assertions, however, cast suspicion on victims and define their credibility in new ways that require analysis. Dean’s latest book summons anyone concerned with human rights to recognize the impact of cultural ideals of “deserving” and “undeserving” victims on those who have suffered.

“Aversion and Erasure features offers stunning insight into the enormous influence the concepts of victimhood and suffering bring to bear on current debates in history, identity, and human rights, as well as in political controversies. Dean allows the richness and complexity of issues including the iconic status of the Holocaust and the category of Jewish victimhood to unfold over the course of the book.”—ethan Kleinberg, Wesleyan University, author of Generation Existential: Heidegger’s Philosophy in France

the Impossible border

CliCk here for more information

Germany and the East, 1914–1922 Annemarie H. Sammartino
Between 1914 and 1922, millions of Europeans left their homes as a result of war, postwar settlements, and revolution. After 1918, the immense movement of people across Germany’s eastern border posed a sharp challenge to the new Weimar Republic. Ethnic Germans flooded over the border from the new Polish state, Russian émigrés poured into the German capital, and East European Jews sought protection in Germany from the upheaval in their homelands. Nor was the movement in one direction only: German Freikorps sought to found a soldiers’ colony in Latvia, and a group of German socialists planned to settle in a Soviet factory town. In The Impossible Border Annemarie H. Sammartino explores these waves of migration and their consequences for Germany. Migration became a flashpoint for such controversies as the relative importance of ethnic and cultural belonging, the interaction of nationalism and political ideologies, and whether or not Germany could serve as a place of refuge for those seeking asylum. Sammartino shows the significance of migration for understanding the difficulties confronting the Weimar Republic and the growing appeal of political extremism. Sammartino demonstrates that the moderation of the state in confronting migration was not merely by default, but also by design. However, the ability of a republican nation-state to control its borders became a barometer for its overall success or failure. Meanwhile, debates about migration were a forum for political extremists to develop increasingly radical understandings of the relationship between the state, its citizens, and its frontiers. The widespread conviction that the democratic republic could not control its “impossible” Eastern borders fostered the ideologies of those on the radical right who sought to resolve the issue by force and for all time.

“In The Impossible Border, Annemarie H. Sammartino offers an important and fascinating study of the history of migration across Weimar Germany’s eastern border. In so doing, she address a number of key aspects of the history of Weimar Germany: settlement policy, emigration and immigration, how Jews and attitudes toward Jews were affected by border crossings, and the ways in which Germans imagined their eastern neighbors.”—richard Bessel, University of York, author of Germany after the First World War and Germany 1945: From War to Peace

A plato primer
J. D. G. Evans
“There is a philosophical classiness and freshness about this book that should give it an immediate place on reading lists.” —C. J. Rowe, University of Durham “Plato was more than a philosopher; he was a master of literary composition who frequently wrote in a colorful style. At the heart of his work there is material as definitively philosophical as anything in the most technical works in the twenty-four centuries that have followed his pioneering labors.” —from the Introduction A Plato Primer introduces students and general readers to the main theses, concepts, and arguments in Plato’s philosophy. Plato’s thought—subtle, versatile, and multifaceted—extends over many decades of composition and many philosophical topics, making it difficult to distill. J. D. G. Evans overcomes this challenge by starting from the premise that there is a core to Plato’s philosophy that can be traced through the spectrum of his writings. He opens with a chapter on the Republic, Plato’s major work; he then singles out a particular theme from the Republic for treatment in each of the six subsequent chapters. These themes, which correspond to modern philosophical categories (Knowledge, Reality, Dialectic, Value, Causality and Change, Politics), enable Evans to bring other Platonic works into his discussion. Featuring a useful “Further Reading” section for those wishing to pursue given topics in the secondary literature, A Plato Primer is a wide-ranging and compelling analysis of the original philosophical personality shining through the body of Plato’s writings.

political Aesthetics
Crispin Sartwell
“Crispin Sartwell’s ‘poetics of politics’ is a fascinating and refreshingly original study of the interplay of aesthetic values and political values. His balance of theory and application results in a book that deserves a wide audience.”—Theodore Gracyk, author of Listening to Popular Music “I suggest that although at any given place and moment the aesthetic expressions of a political system just are that political system, the concepts are separable. Typically, aesthetic aspects of political systems shift in their meaning over time, or even are inverted or redeployed with an entirely transformed effect. You cannot understand politics without understanding the aesthetics of politics, but you cannot understand aesthetics as politics. The point is precisely to show the concrete nodes at which two distinct discourses coincide or connive, come apart or coalesce.”—from Political Aesthetics Juxtaposing and connecting the art of states and the art of art historians with vernacular or popular arts such as reggae and hip-hop, Crispin Sartwell examines the reach and claims of political aesthetics. Most analysts focus on politics as discursive systems, privileging text and reducing other forms of expression to the merely illustrative. He suggests that we need to take much more seriously the aesthetic environment of political thought and action. Sartwell argues that graphic style, music, and architecture are more than the propaganda arm of political systems; they are its constituents. A noted cultural critic, Sartwell brings together the disciplines of political science and political philosophy, philosophy of art and art history, in a new way, clarifying basic notions of aesthetics—beauty, sublimity, and representation—and applying them in a political context. A general argument about the fundamental importance of political aesthetics is interspersed with a group of stimulating case studies as disparate as Leni Riefenstahl’s films and Black Nationalist aesthetics, the Dead Kennedys and Jeffersonian architecture.

“Beginning with the proposition that not all art is political but all politics is aesthetic, Crispin Sartwell challenges overly sharp distinctions between the domains of art, craft, rhetoric, poetics, and politics. Political Aesthetics is a lively and provocative book highly recommended for all who wish to think deeply about the complex relations between the aesthetic and the political.”—philip alperson, Temple University

The Crusader, the Movie, and the Soul of the Port of New York James T. Fisher
“It may be hard for some to imagine an era when the waterfronts clustered around New York City constituted America’s dominant commercial port. Yet as late as the 1950s the region’s 900 piers—spread over Manhattan’s West Side, South Brooklyn, and Hoboken and Jersey City, N.J.—handled more cargo than any port in the world. This is the setting for James T. Fisher’s On the Irish Waterfront, a fascinating work of history that explores the rise of New York’s commercial port from the early 1900s to the 1950s and the corruption that eventually infiltrated all levels of the cargo business, until a crusading priest helped to put a stop to it—and inspired a classic film along the way.” —Wall Street Journal “Fisher has spent more than a decade studying the culture, history and soul of the docks and piers that once lined the West Side of Manhattan and the riverfront of Jersey City and Hoboken. He also has researched the making of the film and the controversies it touched off long before it appeared in theaters in 1954. As a result, Fisher probably knows more about the waterfront than any living person who has not—as I assume he hasn’t, although one never knows—stood in line at a shape-up. Fisher has poured all that knowledge into a glorious book that ought to change how movie critics view Schulberg’s cinematic creation and how cultural historians interpret working-class culture in New York and New Jersey during the middle years of the twentieth century.”—America “Fisher captures with great clarity and encyclopedic detail the multilayered and fascinating history of the New York–New Jersey waterfront depicted in Elia Kazan’s film. Fisher considers every angle of the story astutely and meticulously. This engaging narrative is essential reading for both labor historians and cinema buffs, plus anyone studying the waterfront, working-class and immigrant history, anticommunism, blacklisting, and the House Un-American Activities Committee.”—Library Journal Site of the world’s busiest and most lucrative harbor throughout the first half of the twentieth century, the Port of New York was also the historic preserve of Irish American gangsters, politicians, longshoremen’s union leaders, and powerful Roman Catholic clergy. This is the demimonde depicted to stunning effect in Elia Kazan’s On the Waterfront (1954) and into which James T. Fisher takes readers in this remarkable and engaging historical account of the classic film’s backstory.

On the Irish waterfront

“On the Irish Waterfront amply fills in the gaps among organized crime, public officials and the street priests and Catholic hierarchy. Fisher also provides new insights into the longdebated claim that the film was intended by its screenwriter, Budd Schulberg, and its director, Elia Kazan, as a justification for their naming names of former Communist associates in their testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee.” —New York Times

James t. fisher is Professor of Theology and American Studies, Fordham University. He is the author of Communion of Immigrants: A History of Catholics in America, Dr. America: The Lives of Thomas A. Dooley, 1927– 1961, and The Catholic Counterculture in America, 1933–1962.

Plagiarism and College Culture Susan D. Blum
“Like Margaret Mead among the Samoans, Susan D. Blum views her subjects—‘digital natives’—as an exotic species. They are ‘storming the barricades’ of a new digital future, she claims, using the Internet to engage in collaborative work and to expand their knowledge base. She finds the hapless faculty members charged with teaching such students ‘embattled’ and ‘bewildered.’ . . . Internet-savvy, intertextual ingénues don’t steal words; they engage in ‘patchwriting’ and ‘pastiche,’ constructing essays the way they create eclectic music playlists for their iPods. This practice, she argues, can be viewed as a form of homage or reverence as much as theft. In fact, as Blum’s research demonstrates, students today view writing as a purely instrumental activity: a means to an end.” —Wall Street Journal “Susan D. Blum is genuinely interested in understanding her students and brings great care and compassion to her discussion of plagiarism. She generously draws on student interview segments throughout My Word! to illuminate today’s campus climate. I especially like that Blum locates acts of cheating within the wider sociocultural context rather than regarding them simply as failures of personal morality.” —Cathy Small, Northern arizona University, author of My Freshman Year Today’s college students seem to operate under an entirely different set of assumptions about plagiarism than do their professors. Practices that even a decade ago would have been universally regarded as academically dishonest are now commonplace. Some recent surveys show that more than 75 percent of students admit to having cheated, while 68 percent admit to using material from the Internet without citation. For Susan D. Blum, this development is not a reflection of lowered ethical standards; rather, it is an indication of dramatic shifts in education and the larger culture. Dismissing simplistic condemnation in favor of a rich account of how students actually think about education, accomplishment, and originality, My Word! reveals two distinct cultures that exist, often uneasily, side by side in the classroom.

“Blum argues that the current approach of higher education to plagiarism is a shock and awe strategy—dazzle students with technology and make them afraid, very afraid, of what could happen to them. Blum wants higher education to embrace more of a hearts and minds strategy in which academics consider why their students turn in papers as they do, and the logic behind those choices.” —Inside Higher Ed

Motherhood, the elephant in the laboratory

The Changing face of medicine

Women Scientists Speak Out Edited by Emily Monosson
“Women trying to squeeze a career and family duties into one twenty-four-hour day will gain much affirmation from this collection of essays. The writers, who all balance science careers and motherhood, provide a fascinating insight into a world too often kept hidden.”—New Scientist

Women Doctors and the Evolution of Health Care in America Ann K. Boulis and Jerry A. Jacobs
“I have seen firsthand how one mother struggled with the delicate balance between work and family and now, more than three decades later, I can truly appreciate the obstacles she overcame. Today, I wonder if it will be any better for my two daughters. Ann K. Boulis and Jerry A. Jacobs have written a must-read for any woman considering the medical profession! It will also make men sit up and take notice.” —Sanjay Gupta, Chief Medical Correspondent, CNN The number of women practicing medicine in the United States has grown steadily since the late 1960s, with women now roughly at parity with men among entering medical students. Why did so many women enter American medicine? How are women faring, professionally and personally, once they become physicians? Are women transforming the way medicine is practiced? To answer these questions, The Changing Face of Medicine draws on a wide array of sources, including interviews with women physicians and surveys of medical students and practitioners. The analysis is set in the twin contexts of a rapidly evolving medical system and profound shifts in gender roles in American society.

“In these heartrending essays, women who are well-trained and well-situated in science detail the compromises they have made in order to raise children and be scientists. . . . The women who succeed—and there are many in this volume—are those whose partners take an equal share of the responsibility for raising a family and making the household function.” —American Scientist Emily Monosson has brought together thirty-four women scientists from overlapping generations and several fields of research to share their experiences. The authors of the candid essays written for this groundbreaking volume reveal a range of career choices: the authors work part-time and full-time; they opt out and then opt back in; they become entrepreneurs and job share; they teach high school and have achieved tenure. Their stories not only show the many ways in which women can successfully combine motherhood and a career in science but also address and redefine what it means to be a successful scientist.

How Regional Activism Will Reshape the American Labor Movement Amy B. Dean and David B. Reynolds
Foreword by Harold Meyerson

A New New Deal

Labor’s Quest for a Transnational Democracy Roland Erne

european unions

“Amy B. Dean and David B. Reynolds offer a compelling vision of a new kind of labor movement. At a time when America desperately needs stronger unions, A New New Deal sends a clear message that nostalgia for organized labor’s past is no strategy for our future.” —Richard l. Trumka, President, aFl-CIO In A New New Deal, the labor movement leaders Amy B. Dean and David B. Reynolds offer a bold plan to revitalize American labor activism and build a sense of common purpose between labor and community organizations. A diverse audience—both within the labor movement and among its allies—will welcome this clear, detailed, and inspiring presentation of regional power-building tactics, which include deep coalition-building, leadership development, policy research, and aggressive political action. Amy b. Dean served from 1993 to 2003 as the youngest elected leader of the AFL-CIO in Silicon Valley. She is founder of two national nonprofits, Working Partnerships USA and Building Partnerships USA, and she has served on the California Community College’s Board of Governors and the California Secretary of Commerce’s Economic Strategy Panel.

“Erne’s pertinent study of European trade unionism is a sophisticated, nuanced examination of organized labor’s attempt to create a transnational democracy in the EU.”—Choice “Erne provides strong empirical evidence that unions not only are affected by European integration but also affect future EU developments through their actions. Erne provides readers with a timely and useful analysis of the ways that economic integration is changing the power resources of organized labor in Europe, the types of strategies unions have developed in response, and the role that labor may play in shaping the political development of the EU down the road.” —Industrial and Labor Relations Review “European Unions is a very useful, well-constructed, and welcome contribution to a growing literature on the coordination of unions at the European level and is particularly valuable for its case studies.”—Industrial Relations Roland Erne’s view of transnational trade union networks challenges the assertion that no realistic prospect exists for remedying the European Union’s democratic deficit—that is, its domination by corporate interests and lack of a cohesive European people. His book describes the emergence of a European trade union movement that crosses national boundaries. Erne’s multilevel inquiry goes beyond country-by-country comparisons of national cases and his book is of great relevance to readers interested in the future of labor, social justice, and democracy in an increasingly integrated world. roland erne is Lecturer of International and Comparative Employment Relations at University College Dublin.

Citizen Action and Policy Change, with a new preface Andrew C. Mertha

China’s Water warriors

Regulating capital

Setting Standards for the International Financial System David Andrew Singer
“David Andrew Singer focuses on the financial regulatory process in major industrial countries; the tensions between regulatory prudence and international competitiveness; the constant possibility of a legislative intervention, especially after financial crises; and the efforts by national regulators to preserve their autonomy through, paradoxically, the international negotiation of common norms. He discusses well the attempts of major countries over the past two decades to frame common positions, which were partially successful in the case of banking, less so for the securities and insurance industries.”—Foreign Affairs Despite the grave threats posed to the global economy by financial instability, regulators have a decidedly mixed record in their attempts to create global standards for the financial system. In Regulating Capital, David Andrew Singer seeks to explain the varying pressures on regulatory agencies to negotiate internationally acceptable rules and suggests that the variation is largely traceable to the different domestic political pressures faced by regulators. Singer provides both a theory of the effects of domestic pressures on international regulation and a detailed analysis of regulators’ attempts at international rulemaking in banking, securities, and insurance. Addressing the complexities of global finance in an accessible manner, this book makes clear the international implications of bank failures and stock-market crashes, the rise of derivatives, and the catastrophic financial losses caused by Hurricane Katrina and the events of September 11.

“China’s Water Warriors should be part of the standard literature for anybody interested in the fields of Chinese policy studies, contentious politics, environmental politics, and Chinese politics in general.”—China Perspectives “Mertha’s unprecedented access to local officials reveals that in China’s fragmented political structure, local bureaucrats can fight the interests of China’s massive and well-connected dam industry.”—World Rivers Review “Mertha points out that the indeterminate outcome of pluralistic politics may impede and complicate the search for clean alternatives to coal for China’s soaring energy needs. Local victory for citizens may not translate into victory for the environment or the planet.”—Asian Studies In China’s Water Warriors, Andrew C. Mertha argues that as China has become increasingly market driven, decentralized, and politically heterogeneous, the control and management of water has been transformed from an unquestioned economic imperative into a lightning rod of bureaucratic infighting, societal opposition, and even open protest, thus illustrating the pluralization (as distinct from “democratization”) of the policymaking process in China. A new preface provides updates about recent developments in the three main narratives.

The Moral Art of Vladimir Nabokov Leland de la Durantaye

style Is matter

Dostoevsky the thinker
James P. Scanlan
“The strength of Dostoevsky the Thinker is that it gives a clear exposure of a subject that has sometimes inspired what one can only call enthusiastic rambling.” —Times Literary Supplement

“Style Is Matter offers a subtle, reflective, and well-grounded exploration of Nabokov’s literary thought and practice from an ethical point of view—where ethics, as Nabokov himself would insist, cannot be divorced from style, but never lapses into mere formalism. Leland de la Durantaye scrutinizes Nabokov’s own often contradictory and flamboyant pronouncements on art, and combs the fiction both for theoretical claims and detailed examples of what Nabokov’s literary ethic looks like when it’s at work. This remarkable book is extremely well written, often witty, and informed throughout by a discreet intelligence and strong personal commitment to the material.” —Michael Wood, author of The Magician’s Doubts: Nabokov and the Risks of Fiction “This splendidly insightful, readable book deals not only with the moral nature of Nabokov’s novels but also with the ethical dimension of great fiction, and of all great art. Style Is Matter is a constantly surprising and delightful work of criticism.” —Clarence Brown, Professor Emeritus of Comparative literature, Princeton University Focusing on Lolita but also addressing other major works by Vladimir Nabokov (especially Speak, Memory, and Pale Fire), Leland de la Durantaye asks whether the work of this writer whom many find cruel contains a moral message and, if so, why that message is so artfully concealed. Style Is Matter places Nabokov’s work once and for all into dialogue with some of the most basic issues concerning the ethics of writing and of reading itself.

“Scanlan studies Dostoevsky’s nationalism, opposition to rational egotism, and beliefs about our eternal souls, moral agency, and aesthetic needs. Of course, Dostoevsky's philosophy was framed within a Christian worldview, and Scanlan does excellent work discussing Dostoevsky’s ideas in terms of his religious faith. Readers wanting to learn more about the thought of one of Russia’s great writers will find this work essential.” —Library Journal “Dostoevsky the Thinker is essential reading for all those concerned with Dostoevsky’s philosophical and religious views and the history of ideas in Russia.”—Slavonic and East European Review What was the philosophy of Dostoevsky? How does reading this literary giant from a new perspective add to our understanding of him and of Russian culture? In this remarkable book, a leading authority on Russian thought presents the first comprehensive account of Dostoevsky’s philosophical outlook. Drawing on the writer’s novels and, more so than other scholars, on his essays, letters, and notebooks, James P. Scanlan examines Dostoevsky’s beliefs. The nonfiction pieces make possible new interpretations of some of the author’s most controversial works of fiction. Scanlan also discusses the problematic aspects of Dostoevsky’s thought, including his antisemitism and his conviction that Russia was the one truly God-bearing nation, destined to play a messianic role in world history. James p. scanlan is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at The Ohio State University. He is the author of Marxism in the USSR: A Critical Survey of Current Soviet Thought and editor of Russian Thought after Communism: The Recovery of a Philosophical Heritage.

“Kuriyama has written a smart ‘life’ shot through with learning—a timely look at the most notorious early modern ‘bad boy’ and his reputation.” —SEL Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593) emerges in most accounts of his life by biographers and critics as a mysterious and sensational action figure, a hapless pawn of circumstance, or a pseudonymous cipher.

“Nayder’s research, often involving unpublished letters and manuscripts, illuminate intriguing aspects of Collins and Dickens as friends and cowriters, while emphasizing the literary and social significance of works often seen as minor. . . . This book is a must-read for Collins and Dickens scholars, not only because it offers fascinating and rich contexts and interpretations of their secondary writings and insights into their personalities but also because it indicates how their collaborations inspired and motivated the writing of some of the most famous novels of the Victorian era.”—Dickens Quarterly In the first book devoted to the collaborative relationship between Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins, Lillian Nayder places their coauthored works in the context of the Victorian publishing industry and shows how their fiction and drama represent and reconfigure their sometimes strained relationship. She challenges the widely accepted image of Dickens as a mentor of younger writers such as Collins, points to the ways in which Dickens controlled and profited from his literary “satellites,” and charts Collins’s development as an increasingly significant and independent author.

Sex, Marriage, and Incest from Jane Austen to Virginia Woolf Mary Jean Corbett
“Corbett’s readings of Victorian novels are informed by Foucault and Judith Butler and illuminated by intersecting contemporary economic, religious, racial, class, biological, and anthropological discourses. Drawing on a fascinating range of primary documentation, she emphasizes the ‘stringent limits to what we can know,’ pointing out, for example, that incestuous sexual abuse came to be regarded as a working-class, or ‘savage,’ phenomenon partly because white middle-class homes escaped surveillance. One of Corbett’s strengths lies in her determination to contest ‘static versions of the past’ and expose its ‘messiness and complexity’ in order to gain a better understanding of the ways in which women authors invoked and modified fictions of kinship.” —Times Literary Supplement In Family Likeness, Mary Jean Corbett shows how the domestic fiction of novelists including Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Virginia Woolf reflected the shifting boundaries of “family” and even helped refine those borders. Corbett takes up historically contingent and culturally variable notions of who is and is not a relative and whom one can and cannot marry. Her argument is informed by legal and political debates; texts in sociology and anthropology; and discussions on the biology of heredity, breeding, and eugenics. In Corbett’s view, marriage within families—between cousins, inlaws, or adoptees—offered Victorian women, both real and fictional, an attractive alternative to romance with a stranger, not least because it allowed them to maintain and strengthen relations with other women within the family.

substances and universals in aristotle’s “metaphysics”
Theodore Scaltsas
“Scaltsas has written an extended and powerful treatment of some of the deepest and most puzzling features of Aristotelian metaphysics, producing an interpretation that covers a wide range not only of Aristotelian material but also of Platonic material. He offers detailed critiques of the views of various modern commentators as well as of philosophers. Scaltsas has made an important and original contribution to our interpretation of Metaphysics.”—Philosophical Quarterly

“An intelligent, original, and readable book. It not only advances a new interpretation of Aristotle’s theory of substance but also explores new connections between Aristotle’s theory and problems concerning theory of prediction that arise out of Plato’s theory and out of Aristotle’s own early thought on the subject.”—mohan Matthen, University of British Columbia In Substances and Universals in Aristotle’s “Metaphysics,” Theodore Scaltsas brings the insights of contemporary philosophy to bear on a classic problem in metaphysics that stems from Aristotle’s theory of substance. Scaltsas provides an analysis of the enigmatic notions of potentiality and actuality, which he uses to explain Aristotle’s substantial holism by showing how the concrete and the abstract parts of a substance form a dynamic, diachronic whole.

The Origins of the American Revolution, with a new preface Marc Egnal
“A challenging new interpretation, well written and solidly supported.”—Library Journal “Combining prodigious scholarship and subtle analysis, A Mighty Empire offers us a new consideration of factional division and class politics in the coming of the American Revolution. A signal contribution to our national history, the book demonstrates that the political and economic experience of Americans during the Age of Revolution shaped their ideas and ideologies and gave form to their aspirations as people and as an expanding nation-state.” —Douglas Greenberg, Rutgers: the state university of New Jersey Focusing on five colonies—Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and South Carolina—from 1700 to the post-Revolutionary era, Marc Egnal asserts that throughout colonial America the struggle against Great Britain was led by an upper-class faction motivated by a vision of the rapid development of the New World. In each colony the membership of this group, which Egnal calls the “expansionist” faction, was shaped by self-interest, religious convictions, and national origins. According to Egnal, these individuals had long shown a commitment to American growth and had fervently supported the colonial wars against France, Spain, and Native Americans. A Mighty Empire contains insightful sketches of Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and other revolutionary leaders and makes clear the human dimensions of the clash with Great Britain. The final chapter provides a new context for understanding the writing of the Constitution and considers the links between the Revolution and modern America.

a Mighty Empire

“I assume that historical sources can convey human feeling, even though it is fruitless to psychologize individual friends or to reach complete explanations about their motives. I simply accept that because medieval Christians believed in friendship and felt the need for it, some of them both practiced and lived out friendships.” —from the new Introduction Human beings have always formed personal friendships. Some cultures have left behind the evidence of philosophical discussion; some have provided only private or semipublic letters. By comparing these, one discerns the effect exercised by the society in which the writers lived, its opportunities, and its restrictions. The cloistered monks of medieval Europe, who have bequeathed a rich literary legacy on the subject, have always had to take into account the overwhelming fact of community. Brian Patrick McGuire finds that in seeking friends and friendship, medieval men and women sought self-knowledge, the enjoyment of life, the commitment of community, and the experience of God. First published in 1988, Friendship and Community has been widely debated, inspiring the current interest among medievalists in the subject of friendship. It has also informed other fields within medieval history, including monasticism, spirituality, psychology, and the relationship between self and community. In a new introduction to the Cornell edition, McGuire surveys the critical reaction to the original edition and subsequent research on the subject of medieval friendship.

medicine and society in America

The Politics of Size

Representation in the United States, 1776–1850 Rosemarie Zagarri

“This book will be most useful to the general historian who seeks depth of understanding about the role of medicine in the early life of this country and to the medical historian who seeks a larger frame for his or her specific knowledge. Shryock’s wit and perspective will please all who refer to this book.”—American Historical Review “Shryock lucidly describes medical thought and practice, the composition of the profession, as well as its education, regulation, research (or lack of it), institutions, organizations, and publications. He discusses health conditions among the general population and the efforts made to improve these conditions by public and private measures.”—Science First published in 1960, Richard Harrison Shryock’s Medicine and Society in America: 1660– 1860 remains a sweeping and informative introduction to the practice of medicine, the education of physicians, the understanding of health and disease, and the professionalization of medicine in the Colonial Era and the period of the Early Republic. Shryock details such developments as the founding of the first medical school in America (at the College of Philadelphia in 1765); the introduction of inoculation against smallpox in Boston in 1721; the creation of the Marine Hospital Service in 1799, under which all merchant marines were required to take out health insurance; and the state of medical knowledge on the eve of the Civil War.

“Zagarri’s book is brilliant. Drawing her inspiration from the principles and practice of human geography, she shows that the demographic theory of representation was ideal for expansionism, though it ironically provided the environment in which sectionalism could arise in its ugly, antebellum form.”—Choice “Zagarri’s work makes a useful contribution to the literature on representation, illuminating the role that spatial thinking played as a bridge between inherited conceptions of actual and virtual representation and more modern ideas.” —American Journal of Legal History Rosemarie Zagarri is Professor of History at George Mason University. She is the author of Revolutionary Backlash and A Woman’s Dilemma.

Political Party Organizations as Historical Institutions Ellis S. Krauss and Robert J. Pekkanen
After holding power continuously from its inception in 1955 (with the exception of a ten-month hiatus in 1993–1994), Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) lost control of the national government decisively in September 2009. Despite its defeat, the LDP remains the most successful political party in a democracy in the post–World War II period. In The Rise and Fall of Japan’s LDP, Ellis S. Krauss and Robert J. Pekkanen shed light on the puzzle of the LDP’s long dominance and abrupt defeat. The electoral system Japan established in 1955 resulted in a half-century of “one-party democracy.” Sweeping political reforms in 1994 changed voting rules and other key elements of the electoral system. Both the LDP and its adversaries had to adapt to a new system that gave citizens two votes: one for a party and one for a candidate. Under the leadership of Koizumi Junichiro, the LDP maintained its majority in the Japanese Diet, but his successors lost support as opposing parties learned how to operate in the new electoral environment. Drawing on the insights of historical institutionalism, Krauss and Pekkanen explain how Japanese politics functioned before and after the 1994 reform and why the persistence of party institutions and the transformed role of party leadership contributed both to the LDP’s success at remaining in power for fifteen years after the reforms and to its eventual downfall. In an epilogue, the authors assess the LDP’s prospects in the near and medium term.

The Rise and Fall of Japan’s lDP

Globalization, Territory, and Clandestine Groups in Southeast Asia Justin V. Hastings
“Engaging and accessible, No Man’s Land is a fascinating book on extremely timely and important topics—terrorism, insurgency, and cross-border crime.”—Peter andreas, Brown University, author of Blue Helmets and Black Markets The increased ability of clandestine groups to operate with little regard for borders or geography is often taken to be one of the dark consequences of a brave new globalized world. Yet even for terrorists and smugglers, the world is not flat; states exert formidable control over the technologies of globalization, and difficult terrain poses many of the same problems today as it has throughout human history. In No Man’s Land, Justin V. Hastings examines the complex relationship that illicit groups have with modern technology—and how and when geography still matters. In a book based on often difficult fieldwork in Southeast Asia, Hastings traces the logistics networks, command and control structures, and training programs of three distinct clandestine organizations: the terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah, the insurgent Free Aceh Movement, and organized criminals in the form of smugglers and maritime pirates. Hastings also compares the experiences of these groups to others outside Southeast Asia, including al-Qaeda, the Tamil Tigers, and the Somali pirates. Through reportage, memoirs, government archives, interrogation documents, and interviews with people on both sides of the law, he finds that despite their differences, these organizations are constrained and shaped by territory and technology in similar ways. Justin V. Hastings is Assistant Professor in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Privatizing Water public law and private power
Governance Failure and the World’s Urban Water Crisis Karen Bakker
Water supply privatization was emblematic of the neoliberal turn in development policy in the 1990s. Proponents argued that the private sector could provide better services at lower costs than governments; opponents questioned the risks involved in delegating control over a life-sustaining resource to for-profit companies. Private-sector activity was most concentrated—and contested—in large cities in developing countries, where the widespread lack of access to networked water supplies was characterized as a global crisis. In Privatizing Water, Karen Bakker focuses on three questions: Why did privatization emerge as a preferred alternative for managing urban water supply? Can privatization fulfill its proponents’ expectations, particularly with respect to water supply to the urban poor? And, given the apparent shortcomings of both privatization and conventional approaches to government provision, what are the alternatives? In answering these questions, Bakker engages with broader debates over the role of the private sector in development, the role of urban communities in the provision of “public” services, and the governance of public goods. She introduces the concept of “governance failure” as a means of exploring the limitations facing both private companies and governments. Critically examining a range of issues—including the transnational struggle over the human right to water, the “commons” as a water-supply-management strategy, and the environmental dimensions of water privatization—Privatizing Water is a balanced exploration of a critical issue that affects billions of people around the world.

Corporate Governance Reform in the Age of Finance Capitalism John W. Cioffi

“In Public Law and Private Power, John W. Cioffi takes on a big topic with a mixture of theory, description, and vivid, interesting case studies.” —Peter a. Gourevitch, UC San Diego, author of Politics in Hard Times In Public Law and Private Power, John W. Cioffi argues that the highly politicized reform of corporate governance law has reshaped power relations within the public corporation in favor of financial interests, contributed to the profound crises of contemporary capitalism, and eroded its political foundations. Analyzing the origins of pro-shareholder and pro-financial market reforms in the United States and Germany during the past two decades, Cioffi unravels a double paradox: the expansion of law and the regulatory state at the core of the financially driven neoliberal economic model and the surprising role of center-left parties in championing the interests of shareholders and the financial sector. Since the early 1990s, changes in law to alter the structure of the corporation and financial markets—two institutional pillars of modern capitalism—highlight the contentious regulatory politics that reshaped the legal architecture of national corporate governance regimes and thus the distribution of power and wealth among managers, investors, and labor. Center-left parties embraced reforms that strengthened shareholder rights as part of a strategy to cultivate the support of the financial sector, promote market-driven firm-level economic adjustment, and appeal to popular outrage over recurrent corporate financial scandals. The reforms played a role in fostering an increasingly unstable financially driven economic order; their implication in the global financial crisis in turn poses a threat to center-left parties and the legitimacy of contemporary finance capitalism.

From the GATT to the WTO Soo Yeon Kim

power and the governance of global trade

the military lens

“Soo Yeon Kim has made a real contribution to the study of international institutions and their centrality in determining global economic outcomes. Power and the Governance of Global Trade is particularly insightful in mapping how power has shaped the rules governing global trade and showing that those rules created uneven distributional effects that persist to this day.” —Brian Pollins, The Ohio State University In Power and the Governance of Global Trade, Soo Yeon Kim analyzes the design, evolution, and economic impact of the global trade regime, focusing on the power politics that prevailed in the regime and shaped its distributive impact on global trade. Using documents now available from the archives of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), Kim examines the institutional origins and critical turning points in the evolution of the GATT, as well as preferences of the lesser powers of the developing world that were the subject of heated debate over the International Trade Organization (ITO), which failed to materialize. Using quantitative analysis, Kim assesses the impact of the global trade regime on international trade and finds that the rules of trade forged by the great powers resulted in a developmental divide, in which industrialized countries benefited from trade expansion but developing countries reaped far fewer gains. The findings indicate that a successful conclusion to the Doha Round of the World Trade Organization (WTO) is urgently needed to mitigate the developmental divide by increasing trade between the industrialized and developing worlds.

Doctrinal Difference and Deterrence Failure in SinoAmerican Relations Christopher P. Twomey

“The Military Lens makes a strong contribution to the theoretical literature on deterrence and political use of force as well as to an understanding of the historical case studies.” —Robert S. Ross, Boston College, author of The Indochina Tangle In The Military Lens, Christopher P. Twomey shows how differing military doctrines have led to misperceptions between the United States and China over foreign policy—and the potential dangers these might pose in future relations. Because of their different strategic situations, histories, and military cultures, nations may have radically disparate definitions of effective military doctrine, strategy, and capabilities. Twomey argues that when such doctrines—or “theories of victory”—differ across states, misperceptions about a rival’s capabilities and intentions and false optimism about one’s own are more likely to occur. When states engage in strategic coercion—either to deter or to compel action—such problems can lead to escalation and war. Twomey assesses a wide array of sources in both the United States and China to build case studies of attempts at strategic coercion during Sino-American conflicts in Korea and the Taiwan Strait in the early years of the Cold War, as well as an examination of similar issues in the Arab-Israeli conflict. After demonstrating how these factors have contributed to past conflicts, Twomey amply documents the persistence of hazardous miscommunication in contemporary Sino-American relations. christopher p. twomey is Assistant Professor of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. He is the editor of Perspectives on Sino-American Strategic Nuclear Issues and coeditor of Power and Prosperity: Economics And Security Linkages In Asia-Pacific.

Predatory Regimes and Elite-Led Protests in Central Asia Scott Radnitz

National Accounts and International Norms in Russia and Beyond Yoshiko M. Herrera

“Weapons of the Wealthy is simply one of the best examples of deep, qualitative, theory-driven research that I have seen. This book is a significant step in building a body of theory on how politics really works in hybrid regimes.”—Henry E. Hale, George Washington University, author of Why Not Parties in Russia? Weapons of the Wealthy focuses on the region of post-Soviet Central Asia to investigate the causes of elite-led protest. In nondemocratic states, economic and political opportunities can give rise to elites who are independent of the regime, yet vulnerable to expropriation and harassment from above. In conditions of political uncertainty, elites have an incentive to cultivate support in local communities, which elites can then wield as a “weapon” against a predatory regime. Scott Radnitz builds on his in-depth fieldwork and analysis of the spatial distribution of protests to demonstrate how Kyrgyzstan’s post-independence development laid the groundwork for elite-led mobilization, whereas Uzbekistan’s did not. Elites often have the wherewithal and the motivation to trigger protests, as is borne out by Radnitz’s more than one hundred interviews with those who participated in, observed, or avoided protests. Even Kyrgyzstan’s 2005 “Tulip Revolution,” which brought about the first peaceful change of power in Central Asia since independence, should be understood as a strategic action of elites rather than as an expression of the popular will. This interpretation helps account for the undemocratic nature of the successor government and the 2010 uprising that toppled it. It also serves as a warning for scholars to look critically at bottomup political change.

As international institutions multiply and more governments sign on to standardized ways of organizing economies and societies, resistance to globalization persists. In Mirrors of the Economy, Yoshiko M. Herrera explores the variance in implementation of international institutions through an examination of the international System of National Accounts (SNA), and, in particular, the success of post-Soviet Russia and other formerly communist countries in implementing the SNA. The SNA is the basis for all national economic indicators, including Gross Domestic Product, and is therefore a critical institution for economic policy and development. Herrera tests existing theories of implementation of international institutions and proposes a novel theoretical concept, “conditional norms,” to suggest that the conditions attached to norms may result in institutional change. On the basis of content analysis of statistical publications and more than seventy-five interviews throughout Russia—particularly in Moscow—and in Washington she forms a clear picture of the implementation of SNA in Russia in the early 1990s. In Soviet times a stable conditional norm delineated the appropriateness of statistical institutions based on the structure of the economy. The transformation of the economic system triggered a shift in support among Russian and Eastern European statisticians in favor of the SNA. Herrera’s argument increases our understanding of the role of norms, structural conditions, and professional communities in institutional implementation.

Forty Years of Migration and Development Policy in Morocco and Mexico Natasha Iskander
At the turn of the twentyfirst century, with the amount of money emigrants sent home soaring to new highs, governments around the world began searching for ways to capitalize on emigration for economic growth. Morocco and Mexico featured prominently as sources of “best practices” in this area, with tailor-made financial instruments that brought migrants into the banking system, captured remittances for national development projects, fostered partnerships with emigrants for infrastructure design and provision, hosted transnational forums for development planning, and emboldened crossborder political lobbies. In Creative State, Natasha Iskander chronicles how these innovative policies emerged and evolved over forty years. She reveals that the Moroccan and Mexican policies emulated as models of excellence were not initially devised to link emigration to development, but rather were deployed to strengthen both governments’ domestic hold on power. The process of policy design, however, was so iterative and improvisational that neither the governments nor their migrant constituencies ever predicted, much less intended, the ways the new initiatives would gradually but fundamentally redefine nationhood, development, and citizenship. Morocco’s and Mexico’s experiences with migration and development policy demonstrate that far from being a prosaic institution resistant to change, the state can be a remarkable site of creativity, an essential but often overlooked component of good governance. Natasha Iskander is Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the Robert F. Wagner School of Public Service, New York University.

Rescaling Cities and Migrants Edited by Nina Glick Schiller and Ayşe Çağlar

In this book Nina Glick Schiller and Ayşe Çağlar, along with a stellar group of contributing authors, examine the relationship between migrants and cities in a time of massive urban restructuring. They find that locality matters in migration research and migrants matter in the reconfiguration of contemporary cities. This book provides a new approach to the study of migrant settlement and transnational connection in which cities rather than nation-states, ethnic groups, or transnational communities serve as the starting point for comparative analysis. Neither negating nor privileging the nation-state, Locating Migration provides ethnographic insights into the various ways in which migrants and specific cities together mutually constitute and contest the local, national, and global. Cities are approached not as containers but as fluid and historically differentiated analytical entry points. Chapters explore migrants’ relationship to the neoliberal rebranding, redevelopment, and rescaling of down-and-out, aspiring, and global cities in the United States and Europe.

Gulf Migration and the Indian Community in Bahrain Andrew M. Gardner
“Beautifully written and compelling, the book sheds light on a population and area of the world that remains understudied despite its rapid emergence onto the global market.” —Pardis Mahdavi, Pomona College, author of Passionate Uprisings In City of Strangers, Andrew M. Gardner explores the everyday experiences of workers from India who have migrated to the Kingdom of Bahrain. Like all the petroleum-rich states of the Persian Gulf, Bahrain hosts an extraordinarily large population of transmigrant laborers. Guest workers, who make up nearly half of the country’s population, have long labored under a sponsorship system, the kafala, that organizes the flow of migrants from South Asia to the Gulf states and contractually links each laborer to a specific citizen or institution. In order to remain in Bahrain, the worker is almost entirely dependent on his sponsor’s goodwill. The nature of this relationship, Gardner contends, often leads to exploitation and sometimes violence. City of Strangers contributes significantly to our understanding of politics and society among the states of the Arabian Peninsula and of the migrant labor phenomenon that is an increasingly important aspect of globalization.

City of Strangers

Islam, Globalization, and the Afterlife of Development Daromir Rudnyckyj

spiritual economies

In Europe and North America Muslims are often represented in conflict with modernity—but what could be more modern than motivational programs that represent Islamic practice as conducive to business success and personal growth? Daromir Rudnyckyj’s innovative and surprising book challenges widespread assumptions about contemporary Islam by showing how moderate Muslims in Southeast Asia are reinterpreting Islam not to reject modernity but to create a “spiritual economy” consisting of practices conducive to globalization. Drawing on more than two years of research in Indonesia, most of which took place at stateowned Krakatau Steel, Rudnyckyj shows how self-styled “spiritual reformers” seek to enhance the Islamic piety of workers across Southeast Asia and beyond. Deploying vivid description and a keen ethnographic sensibility, Rudnyckyj depicts a program called Emotional and Spiritual Quotient (ESQ) training that reconfigures Islamic practice and history to make the religion compatible with principles for corporate success found in Euro-American management texts, self-help manuals, and life-coaching sessions. The prophet Muhammad is represented as a model for a corporate CEO and the five pillars of Islam as directives for self-discipline, personal responsibility, and achieving “win-win” solutions. Spiritual Economies reveals how capitalism and religion are converging in Indonesia and other parts of the developing and developed world. Rudnyckyj offers an alternative to the commonly held view that religious practice serves as a refuge from or means of resistance against modernization and neoliberalism. Moreover, his innovative approach charts new avenues for future research on globalization, religion, and the predicaments of modern life.

It is not your typical gauzy view of coalition building, but offers a clear-sighted, practical road map to building more effective labor-community coalitions and in turn an opportunity to transform the labor movement.”—Jeff Blodgett, Executive Director, Wellstone action The labor movement sees coalitions as a key tool for union revitalization and social change, but there is little analysis of what makes them successful or the factors that make them fail. Amanda Tattersall—an organizer and labor scholar— addresses this gap in the first internationally comparative study of coalitions between unions and community organizations. Tattersall argues that coalition success must be measured by two criteria: whether campaigns produce social change and whether they sustain organizational strength over time. The book contributes new, practical frameworks and insights that will help guide union and community organizers across the globe. The book throws down the gauntlet to industrial relations scholars and labor organizers, making a compelling case for unions to build coalitions that wield “power with” community organizations. The book centers on three detailed case studies: the public education coalition in Sydney, the Ontario Health Coalition in Toronto, and the living wage campaign run by the Grassroots Collaborative in Chicago. Together they enable Tattersall to explore when and how coalition unionism is the best and most appropriate strategy for social change, organizational development, and union renewal.

What jobs will Americans hold in the global economy of the twenty-first century and how will they develop the skills they need to compete for these positions? Over the past two decades the emergence and tremendous growth of the Internet has enabled more than a billion new individuals to participate in the global labor force, led to the automation and integration of numerous jobs, and provided a new platform for distance learning. Accompanying the explosion in connectivity, we have seen a shift in the focus of skill debates from a concern about loss of U.S. firm competitiveness to a loss of workforce competitiveness. Today the concerns extend to the offshoring of knowledge work in addition to factory labor; even high-end research and development and professional work is moving rapidly to China, India and other highskill, low-wage nations. Transforming the U.S. Workforce Development System brings together some of the leading scholars and practitioners working in the skills field to examine what research tells us about the current state of the U.S. skills system in comparative perspective and the major changes that are required to help better prepare U.S. workers for the challenges of competing in the decades ahead. Particular emphasis is placed on labor-management efforts at enhancing skill development.

Community Control, Affirmative Action, and the Construction Industry Edited by David Goldberg and Trevor Griffey
“The politics of black power come to life not in abstract manifestos but in the daily grind to win concrete economic opportunity for people and communities in the racially segregated postwar metropolis.”—Robert Self, Brown University To realize the urban redevelopment programs of the 1960s, cities employed exclusively white union locals to rebuild predominantly black innercity neighborhoods. African American activists across the country, who had been fighting for local community control of inner-city economies, protested these decisions and forced politicians to use affirmative action as a way to desegregate the construction industry. Black Power at Work chronicles the efforts of the Black Power movement to open up the construction industry to African Americans between 1963 and 1969, a landmark struggle that gave rise to the affirmative action policies that have since helped diversify the American workplace. Through case studies of local movements in Brooklyn, Newark, the Bay Area, Detroit, Chicago, and Seattle, Black Power at Work speaks directly to much more recent debates about job training and placement for unemployed, underemployed, and underrepresented workers. The Black Power movement’s demands for community control of construction, access to decent-paying jobs, and union inclusion remain, four decades later, equally relevant today, as does the book’s focus on the synergy between labor activism and community organizing.

Race in the Making of American Military Empire after World War II Michael Cullen Green

Black Yanks in the Pacific

“Black Yanks in the Pacific is consistently interesting; it challenges standard interpretations and opens new ground.”—Marilyn Young, New York University, author of The Vietnam Wars, 1945– 1990 By the end of World War II, many black citizens viewed service in the segregated American armed forces with distaste if not disgust. Meanwhile, domestic racism and Jim Crow, ongoing Asian struggles against European colonialism, and prewar calls for Afro-Asian solidarity had generated considerable black ambivalence toward American military expansion in the Pacific, in particular the impending occupation of Japan. However, over the following decade black military service enabled tens of thousands of African Americans to interact daily with Asian peoples. It also encouraged African Americans to share many of the same racialized attitudes toward Asian peoples held by their white counterparts and to identify with their government’s foreign policy objectives in Asia. In Black Yanks in the Pacific, Michael Cullen Green tells the story of African American engagement with military service in occupied Japan, war-torn South Korea, and an emerging empire of bases anchored in those two nations. After World War II, African Americans largely embraced the socioeconomic opportunities afforded by service overseas—despite the maintenance of military segregation into the early 1950s—while strained Afro-Asian social relations in Japan and South Korea encouraged a sense of insurmountable difference from Asian peoples. By the time the Supreme Court declared de jure segregation unconstitutional in its landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, African American investment in overseas military expansion was largely secured. Although they were still subject to discrimination at home, many African Americans had come to distrust East Asian peoples and to accept the legitimacy of an expanding military empire abroad. michael cullen green received a PhD in American History from Northwestern University. He lives in Chicago, Illinois.

An elusive unity
Urban Democracy and Machine Politics in Industrializing America James J. Connolly

Communities of Empire in Early Russian America Gwenn A. Miller

kodiak kreol

Although many observers have assumed that pluralism prevailed in American political life from the start, inherited ideals of civic virtue and moral unity proved stubbornly persistent and influential. The tension between these conceptions of public life was especially evident in the young nation’s burgeoning cities. Exploiting a wide range of sources, including novels, cartoons, memoirs, and journalistic accounts, James J. Connolly traces efforts to reconcile democracy and diversity in the industrializing cities of the United States from the antebellum period through the Progressive Era. The necessity of redesigning civic institutions and practices to suit city life triggered enduring disagreements centered on what came to be called machine politics. Featuring plebian leadership, a sharp masculinity, party discipline, and frank acknowledgment of social differences, this new political formula first arose in eastern cities during the mid-nineteenth century and became a subject of national discussion after the Civil War. During the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, business leaders, workers, and women proposed alternative understandings of how urban democracy might work. Some tried to create venues for deliberation that built common ground among citizens of all classes, faiths, ethnicities, and political persuasions. But accommodating such differences proved difficult, and a vision of politics as the businesslike management of a contentious modern society took precedence. As Connolly makes clear, machine politics offered at best a quasi-democratic way to organize urban public life. Where unity proved elusive, machine politics provided a viable, if imperfect, alternative.

“In this fascinating book, Gwenn A. Miller skillfully explores the Russian colonization of Alaska, one of the most neglected stories of the early American past.” —Claudio Saunt, University of Georgia, author of Black, White, and Indian From the 1780s to the 1820s, Kodiak Island, the first capital of Imperial Russia’s only overseas colony, was inhabited by indigenous Alutiiqs and colonized by Russians. Together, they established an ethnically mixed “kreol” community. Against the backdrop of the fur trade, the missionary work of the Russian Orthodox Church, and competition among Pacific colonial powers, Gwenn A. Miller brings to light the social, political, and economic patterns of life in the settlement, showing that Russia’s colonial effort off the Alaskan coast depended on the assistance of Alutiiq people. The relationships between Alutiiq women and Russian men were critical to the initial success of Russia’s North Pacific venture. Although Russia’s Alaskan enterprise began some two centuries after other European powers started to colonize North America, many aspects of the contacts between Russians and Alutiiqs mirror earlier colonial episodes: adaptation to alien environments, the exploitation of natural resources, complicated relations between indigenous peoples and Europeans, attempts by an imperial state to moderate those relations, and Christianizing practices. Russia’s Pacific colony, however, was founded on the cusp of modernity at the intersection of earlier New World forms of colonization and the bureaucratic age of high empire. Miller’s attention to the intimacy and violence of human connections on Kodiak offers new insights into the nature of colonialism in a little-known American outpost of European imperial power. gwenn A. miller is Assistant Professor of History at The College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Jews and the Imperial state

Identification Politics in Tsarist Russia Eugene M. Avrutin
At the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth century, a gradual shift occurred in the ways in which European governments managed their populations. In the Russian Empire, this transformation in governance meant that Jews could no longer remain a people apart. The identification of Jews by passports, vital statistics records, and censuses was tied to the growth and development of government institutions, the creation of elaborate record-keeping procedures, and the universalistic challenge of documenting populations. In Jews and the Imperial State, Eugene M. Avrutin argues that the challenge of knowing who was Jewish and where Jews were evolved from the everyday administrative concerns of managing territorial movement, ethnic diversity, and the maze of rights, special privileges, and temporary exemptions that comprised the imperial legal code. Drawing on a wealth of previously unexplored archival materials, Avrutin tells the story of how one imperial population, the Jews, shaped the world in which they lived by negotiating with what were often perceived to be as contradictory and highly restrictive laws and institutions. Whereas scholars have long interpreted imperial policies toward Jews in essentially negative terms, this groundbreaking book shifts the analytical focus by analyzing what the law made possible. Some Jews accommodated to the system of government by circumventing legal statutes, others by bribing, converting, or resorting to various forms of manipulations, and still others by appealing to the state with individual grievances and requests.

Trading Places

Colonization and Slavery in Eighteenth-Century French Culture Madeleine Dobie

“Trading Places is both hugely ambitious and carried off brilliantly.”—Dena Goodman, University of Michigan, author of Becoming a Woman in the Age of Letters In Trading Places, Madeleine Dobie explores the place of the colonial world in the culture of the French Enlightenment. She shows that until a turning point in the late 1760s questions of colonization and slavery occupied a very marginal position in literature, philosophy, and material and visual culture. In an exploration of the causes and modalities of this silence, Dobie traces the displacement of colonial questions onto two more familiar—and less ethically challenging—aspects of Enlightenment thought: exoticization of the Orient and fascination with indigenous Amerindian cultures. Expanding the critical analysis of the cultural imprint of colonization to encompass commodities as well as texts, Dobie considers how tropical raw materials were integrated into French material culture. In an original exploration of the textile and furniture industries Dobie considers consumer goods both as sites of representation and as vestiges of the labor of the enslaved. Turning to the closing decades of the eighteenth century, Dobie considers how silence evolved into discourse. She argues that sustained examination of the colonial order was made possible by the rise of economic liberalism, which attacked the prevailing mercantilist doctrine and formulated new perspectives on agriculture, labor (including slavery), commerce, and global markets. Questioning recent accounts of late Enlightenment “anticolonialism,” she shows that late eighteenthcentury French philosophers opposed slavery while advocating the expansion of a “liberalized” colonial order. Innovative and interdisciplinary, Trading Places combines literary and historical analysis with new research into political economy and material culture. madeleine Dobie is Associate Professor of French and Comparative Literature at Columbia University. She is the author of Foreign Bodies: Gender, Language and Culture in French Orientalism.

global matters

“Global Matters displays admirable clarity and fairness in its presentation of current debates about globalization and postcoloniality in relation to the transnational turn in literary studies.” —Susan Stanford Friedman, university of wisconsin–madison As the pace of cultural globalization accelerates, the discipline of literary studies is undergoing dramatic transformation. Scholars and critics focus increasingly on theorizing difference and complicating the geographical framework defining their approaches. At the same time, Anglophone literature is being created by a remarkably transnational, multicultural group of writers exploring many of the same concerns, including the intersecting effects of colonialism, decolonization, migration, and globalization. Paul Jay surveys these developments, highlighting key debates within literary and cultural studies about the impact of globalization over the past two decades. Global Matters provides a concise, informative overview of theoretical, critical, and curricular issues driving the transnational turn in literary studies and how these issues have come to dominate contemporary global fiction as well. Through close, imaginative readings Jay analyzes the intersecting histories of colonialism, decolonization, and globalization engaged by an array of texts from Africa, Europe, South Asia, and the Americas, including Zadie Smith’s White Teeth, Junot Díaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss, Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things, Vikram Chandra’s Red Earth and Pouring Rain, Mohsin Hamid’s Moth Smoke, and Zakes Mda’s The Heart of Redness. A timely intervention in the most exciting debates within literary studies, Global Matters is a comprehensive guide to the transnational nature of Anglophone literature today and its relationship to the globalization of Western culture. paul Jay is Professor of English at Loyola University Chicago. He is the author most recently of Contingency Blues: The Search for Foundations in American Criticism.

Humans and Other Animals in the Modern Literary Imagination Laura Brown
“I read Homeless Dogs and Melancholy Apes with great eagerness and found it to be a book of compelling interest, wonderful erudition, and nuanced, sophisticated analysis.”—Erin Mackie, Syracuse University In eighteenth-century England, the encounter between humans and other animals took a singular turn with the discovery of the great apes and the rise of bourgeois pet keeping. These historical changes created a new cultural and intellectual context for the understanding and representation of animal-kind, and the nonhuman animal has thus played a significant role in imaginative literature from that period to the present day. In Homeless Dogs and Melancholy Apes, Laura Brown shows how the literary works of the eighteenth century use animal-kind to bring abstract philosophical, ontological, and metaphysical questions into the realm of everyday experience, affording a uniquely flexible perspective on difference, hierarchy, intimacy, diversity, and transcendence. Writers of this first age of the rise of the animal in the modern literary imagination used their nonhuman characters—from the lapdogs of Alexander Pope and his contemporaries to the ill-mannered monkey of Frances Burney’s Evelina or the ape-like Yahoos of Jonathan Swift—to explore questions of human identity and self-definition, human love and the experience of intimacy, and human diversity and the boundaries of convention. Later literary works continued to use imaginary animals to question human conventions of form and thought. laura brown is John Wendell Anderson Professor of English and vice provost for undergraduate education at Cornell University. She is the author of several books, including Fables of Modernity: Literature and Culture in the English Eighteenth Century and Ends of Empire: Women and Ideology in Early Eighteenth-Century English Literature, also from Cornell.

Mourning Happiness

Narrative and the Politics of Modernity Vivasvan Soni
For many eighteenth-century thinkers, happiness was a revolutionary new idea filled with the promise of the Enlightenment. However, Vivasvan Soni argues that the period fails to establish the importance of happiness as a guiding idea for human practice, generating our modern sentimental idea of happiness. Mourning Happiness shows how the eighteenth century’s very obsession with happiness culminates in the political obsolescence of the idea. Soni explains that this puzzling phenomenon can only be comprehended by studying a structural transformation of the idea of happiness at the level of narrative form. Happiness is stripped of its ethical and political content, Soni demonstrates, when its intimate relation to narrative is destroyed. This occurs, paradoxically, in some of the most characteristic narratives of the period: eighteenth-century novels including Pamela, The Vicar of Wakefield, and Julie; the pervasive sentimentalism of the time; Kant’s ethics; and the political thought of Rousseau and Jefferson. For Soni, the classical Greek idea of happiness— epitomized by Solon’s proverb “Call no man happy until he is dead”—opens the way to imagining a properly secular conception of happiness, one that respects human finitude and mortality. By analyzing the story of Solon’s encounter with Croesus, Attic funeral orations, Greek tragedy, and Aristotle’s ethics, Soni explains what it means to think, rather than feel, a happiness available for public judgment, rooted in narrative, unimaginable without a relationship to community, and irreducible to an emotional state. Such an ideal, Soni concludes, would allow for a radical reenvisioning of a politics that takes happiness seriously and responds to our highest aspirations rather than merely keeping our basest motivations in check.

Blood, Milk, and Water in the Victorian Novel Jules Law

“The Social Life of Fluids explores a wealth of material ranging from Victorian attitudes toward breastfeeding and blood transfusions to the embankment of the Thames, all in the course of providing sensitive readings of individual novels. In the process Jules Law redefines the relationship between the individual and the social body in terms of fluidity, of porous boundaries, of bodies that leak milk or blood, and of waters that flow over or out of bounds.”—Jay Clayton, Vanderbilt university British Victorians were obsessed with fluids— with their scarcity and with their omnipresence. By the mid-nineteenth century, hundreds of thousands of citizens regularly petitioned the government to provide running water and adequate sewerage, while scientists and journalists fretted over the circulation of bodily fluids. In The Social Life of Fluids Jules Law traces the fantasies of power and anxieties of identity precipitated by these developments as they found their way into the plotting and rhetoric of the Victorian novel. Analyzing the expression of scientific understanding and the technological manipulation of fluids—blood, breast milk, and water—in six Victorian novels (by Charles Dickens, George Eliot, George Moore, and Bram Stoker), Law traces the growing anxiety about fluids in Victorian culture from the beginning of the sanitarian movement in the 1830s through the 1890s. Fluids, he finds, came to be regarded as the most alienable aspect of an otherwise inalienable human body, and, paradoxically, as the least rational element of an increasingly rationalized environment. Drawing on literary and feminist theory, social history, and the history of science and medicine, Law shows how fluids came to be represented as prosthetic extensions of identity, exposing them to contested claims of kinship and community and linking them inextricably to public spaces and public debates. Jules law is Associate Professor of English and Comparative Literature and Charles Deering McCormick Professor of Teaching Excellence at Northwestern University.

Architectural Metaphor in German Thought Daniel Purdy
The eighteenth century struggled to define architecture as either an art or a science—the image of the architect as a grand figure who synthesizes all other disciplines within a single master plan emerged from this discourse. Immanuel Kant and Johann Wolfgang Goethe described the architect as their equal, a genius with godlike creativity. For writers from Descartes to Freud, architectural reasoning provided a method for critically examining consciousness. The architect, as philosophers liked to think of him, was obligated by the design and construction process to mediate between the abstract and the actual. In On the Ruins of Babel, Daniel Purdy traces this notion back to its wellspring. He surveys the volatile state of architectural theory in the Enlightenment, brought on by the newly emerged scientific critiques of Renaissance cosmology, then shows how German writers redeployed Renaissance terminology so that “harmony,” “unity,” “synthesis,” “foundation,” and “orderliness” became states of consciousness, rather than terms used to describe the built world. Purdy’s distinctly new interpretation of German theory reveals how metaphors constitute interior life as an architectural space to be designed, constructed, renovated, or demolished. He elucidates the close affinity between Hegel’s Romantic aesthetic of space and Daniel Libeskind’s deconstruction of monumental architecture in Berlin’s Jewish Museum. Through a careful reading of Walter Benjamin’s writing on architecture as myth, Purdy details how classical architecture shaped Benjamin’s modernist interpretations of urban life, particularly his elaboration on Freud’s archaeology of the unconscious. Benjamin’s essays on dreams and architecture turn the individualist sensibility of the Enlightenment into a collective and mythic identification between humans and buildings.

On the ruins of babel

The European Novel and the German Book, 1680–1730 Bethany Wiggin

Novel translations

Many early novels were cosmopolitan books, read from London to Leipzig and beyond, available in nearly simultaneous translations into French, English, German, and other European languages. In Novel Translations, Bethany Wiggins charts just one of the paths by which newness—in its avatars as fashion, novelties, and the novel—entered the European world in the decades around 1700. As readers across Europe snapped up novels, they domesticated the genre. Across borders, the novel lent readers everywhere a suggestion of sophistication, a familiarity with circumstances beyond their local ken. Into the eighteenth century, the modern German novel was not German at all; rather, it was French, as suggested by Germans’ usage of the French word Roman to describe a wide variety of genres: pastoral romances, war and travel chronicles, heroic narratives, and courtly fictions. Carried in large part on the coattails of the Huguenot diaspora, these romans, nouvelles, amours secrets, histoires galantes, and histories scandaleuses shaped German literary culture to a previously unrecognized extent. Wiggin contends that this French chapter in the German novel’s history began to draw to a close only in the 1720s, more than sixty years after the word first migrated into German. Only gradually did the Roman go native; it remained laden with the baggage from its “French” origins even into the nineteenth century.

Melting-Pot Modernism
Sarah Wilson
“Melting-Pot Modernism is an intelligent and beautifully written examination of the ‘melting pot’ as taken up in the work of four modernist writers.”—Christopher Douglas, University of Victoria, author of a Genealogy of Literary Multiculturalism Between 1891 and 1920 more than 18 million immigrants entered the United States. While many Americans responded to this influx by proposing immigration restriction or large-scale “Americanization” campaigns, a few others, figures such as Jane Addams and John Dewey, adopted the image of the melting pot to oppose such measures. Progressives imagined assimilation as a multidirectional process, in which both native-born and immigrants contributed their cultural gifts to a communal fund. Melting-Pot Modernism reveals the richly aesthetic nature of assimilation at the turn of the twentieth century, focusing on questions of the individual’s relation to culture, the protection of vulnerable populations, the sharing of cultural heritages, and the far-reaching effects of free-market thinking. By tracing the melting-pot impulse toward merging and cross-fertilization through the writings of Henry James, James Weldon Johnson, Willa Cather, and Gertrude Stein, as well as through the autobiography, sociology, and social commentary of their era, Sarah Wilson makes a new connection between the ideological ferment of the Progressive era and the literary experimentation of modernism. Wilson puts literary analysis at the service of intellectual history, showing that literary modes of thought and expression both shaped and were shaped by debates over cultural assimilation. Exploring the depth and nuance of an earlier moment’s commitment to cultural inclusiveness, Melting-Pot Modernism gives new meaning to American struggles over the inclusion of difference—and to the central place of literary interpretation in understanding such struggles.

“at the Hawk’s Well” and “the cat and the moon”
Manuscript Materials W. B. Yeats
Edited by Andrew Parkin

Both At the Hawk’s Well (1917) and The Cat and the Moon (1924) dramatize their characters’ journeys of the soul to magic wells. In At the Hawk’s Well, the characters believe the miraculous well is a source of eternal life, but neither benefits from it. The play portrays the failure of its hero’s quest in the Irish heroic age and makes clear W. B. Yeats’s own preoccupation with aging, marriage, and perhaps waning inspiration. In The Cat and the Moon, the characters again put their faith in a magic well and the saint who guards it, and both are rewarded with miracles: it is a parodic repetition of the earlier play, but with a happy ending. The characters are satirical portraits of actual people, yet they are subject to the lunar cycles of personal and historical change. The Cornell Yeats edition of these two plays presents photographs and transcriptions of the typescripts that the author prepared and revised, along with images of Lennox Robinson’s musical settings for the songs in the 1931 performances of The Cat and the Moon. Andrew Parkin prefaces the texts with a census of manuscripts, an introduction discussing the content of the plays, the history of their composition and performance, and a chronology of their composition. In both plays, Yeats drew on the conventions of Noh theater, and he suggested that they be performed in a single evening (along with The Dreaming of the Bones).

Introduction and Analysis David Ingram
“This is a marvelously comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of Habermas’s intellectual contribution to contemporary philosophy.”—Simone Chambers, University of Toronto The work of Jürgen Habermas (b. 1929) has been highly influential both in philosophy and across many disciplines in the social sciences. David Ingram here provides an accessible introduction to Habermas’s complex thought as it has evolved from 1953 to the present, spanning philosophy, religion, political science, social science, and law. One of today’s most intriguing thinkers, Habermas is also notably prolific; for students and other readers who wish to navigate the philosopher’s more than thirty books, the lucid and precise Habermas: Introduction and Analysis is a welcome starting point rich in insights. Ingram’s book addresses the entire range of Habermas’s social theory, including his most recent and widely discussed contributions to religion, freedom and determinism, global democracy, and the consolidation of the European Union. Recognizing Habermas’s position as a highly public intellectual, Ingram discusses how Habermas applies his own theory to pressing problems such as abortion, terrorism, genetic engineering, immigration, multiculturalism, separation of religion and state, technology and mass media, feminism, and human rights. He also presents a detailed critical analysis of Habermas’s key claims and arguments. Separate appendixes introduce and clarify such important concepts as causal, teleological, and narrative paradigms of explanation in action theory; contextualism versus rationalism in social scientific methods of interpretation; systems theory and functionalist explanation in social science; and decision and collective choice theory. “This is a marvelous resource for anyone interested in better understanding the difficult and voluminous work of Jürgen Habermas. It is clearly written, comprehensive, and fair-minded in its exegesis; moreover, it provides at the same time a highly intelligent, critical analysis of central themes in Habermas.” —Stephen K. White, James Hart Professor of Politics, University of Virginia

Time and Photography
Edited by Jan Baetens, Alexander Streitberger, and Hilde Van Gelder
Photography is fundamentally a time-based medium. The relationships between photography and time are manifold: snapshots are “slices of time,” time can be directly represented within the image, time can be photography’s theme and philosophical horizon, photographic practices develop and change across time. This book brings together the various aspect of time in photography and of photography in time. Its chapters focus on seminal authors (including Fox Talbot, Victor Burgin, and Robert Morris) and genres (spirit photography, montage photobooks, and tableau photography), with examples ranging from the very first photographic pictures to the most recent uses of photography in and outside art. Given the multifaceted dimensions of the notion of time, the book fosters an interdisciplinary approach, gathering essays by historians of photography as well as by authors with a critical or philosophical background. It shows how some interpretations of photography are indebted to fields that have a great expertise in analyzing time, such as narratology and literature. Written by international specialists for a nonspecialist audience and displaying extraordinary breadth and erudition, this book reshapes our vision of photography, time, culture, and art.

Orpheus research centre in music series
The Orpheus Research Centre in Music [ORCiM] is a place where musical artists can fruitfully conduct individual and collaborative research on issues that are of concern to all involved in artistic practice. The development of a discipline-specific discourse in the field of artistic research in music is its core mission. The Subseries of the Collected Writings of the Orpheus Institute explicitly zooms in on studies that take artistic practice as their point of departure and deal with questions and challenges that arise from that practice.

metaCage

The emergent field of artistic research remains controversial. The challenges and opportunities presented by this burgeoning discipline may be better understood by reemphasizing the centrality of the artist. Through a study of the interrelationship between artistic fields and theories of knowledge, and through consciously metaphorical readings, the authors examine the contexts within which artistic research has developed.

Essays on and around Freeman Etudes, Fontana Mix, Aria Includes CD Juan Parra Cancino, Magnus Andersson, Mieko Kanno, and William Brooks
metaCage investigates the musical practice of John Cage in four essays written by current ORCiM Fellows. Three works serve as threads that link the contributions. A CD containing performances by the ORCiM Fellows of these works is included with the volume. The essays embrace both compositional practice, as viewed by musicologically oriented performers Juan Parra Cancino and Mieko Kanno, and Cage’s aesthetic framework, explored by practice-based musicologists Magnus Andersson and William Brooks.

Essays on Notation, Editing and Performance Edited by David R. Hiley, James Bohman, and Richard Shusterman
Three essays express some fundamental issues addressed by ORCiM’s research group focusing on the musician’s relation to notation. Paulo de Assis argues that critical editions should generate critical users; Mieko Kanno contemplates the rapid expansion of the use of electronics in contemporary music. Juan Parra Cancino points toward a kind of composition whereby the performing and the listening experience don’t aim to achieve a “final” version of the piece.

Deleuze and Psychoanalysis

Philosophical Essays on Deleuze’s Debate with Psychoanalysis Edited by Leen De Bolle
Gilles Deleuze is among the twentieth century’s most important philosophers of difference. Reading and appreciating his work requires an unusual degree of openness and willingness to enter a complicated but extremely rich system of thought. His oeuvre is marked by abundant debates with and references to a variety of authors of many different domains, the sophisticated conceptual framework, the creation of new concepts, and the injection of existing concepts with new meanings. Deleuze and Psychoanalysis is both a guide to reading Deleuze and a direct confrontation with issues at stake in his work, particularly the debate with and against psychoanalysis. This debate not only offers the occasion to find an entrance to Deleuze’s basic thought but also throws the reader into the middle of the dispute. Offering different points of view, the authors of this book provide a clear and perspicuous overview of subject matter of interest to all psychoanalysts, Deleuzean or otherwise.

prehension and Hafting Traces on flint tools
A Methodology Veerle Rots

lapis lazuli from the kiln

Glass and Glassmaking in the Late Bronze Age Andrew Shortland
Lapis Lazuli from the Kiln examines the history of the first glass, from its early sporadic occurrence, through the height of its production in the late second millennium BCE, to its disappearance at the end of that millennium. The book draws on an exceptionally wide range of sources including ancient texts detailing recipes and trade in glass, iconographic depictions in tombs and temples, archaeological excavation of the most important sites including Amarna and Qantir, and the description of the glass objects themselves.

The capacity to mount stone tools in or on a handle is considered an important innovation in past human behavior. The insight to assemble two different materials (organic and inorganic) into a better functioning entity indicates the presence of the required mental capacity and technological expertise. Although the identification of stone tool use based on microscopic analysis was introduced in the 1960s, distinguishing between handheld and hafted tool use has remained a more difficult issue. This volume introduces a methodology, based on a systematic, in-depth study of prehension and hafting traces on experimental stone artifacts. The author proposes a number of distinctive macro- and microscopic wear traits for identifying handheld and hafted stone tools and for identifying the exact hafting arrangement. veerle rots is Postdoctoral Research Fellow of the Fund for Scientific Research—Flanders and an invited lecturer at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.

Reassessment of the 2003 priorities of the European Commission Edited by Koen Geens and Klaus J. Hopt
Conclusion by Jaap Winter
The harmonization of company law has always been on the agenda of the European Union. Besides the protection of third parties affected by business transactions, the founders had two other objectives: first, promoting freedom of establishment, and second, preventing the abuse of such freedom. The European Commission issued its Company Law Action Plan in 2003. In this volume researchers of the Jan Ronse Institute for Company Law of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven present five chapters on the main priorities of the Action Plan: capital and creditor protection, corporate governance, one share one vote, financial reporting, and corporate mobility. The book also includes responses and ensuing discussions by reputed European company law experts.

Translated by Raffaella Roncarati
The soul-body problem was among the most controversial issues discussed in thirteenth-century Europe, and it continues to capture much attention today as the quest to understand human identity becomes more and more urgent. What made the discussion about this problem particularly interesting in the scholastic period was the tension between the traditional dualist doctrines and a growing need to affirm the unity of the human being. This debate is frequently interpreted as a conflict between the “new” philosophy, conveyed by the rediscovered works of Aristotle and his followers, and doctrinal requirements, especially the belief in the soul’s immortality. However, a thorough examination of Parisian texts, written between approximately 1150 and 1260, leads to surprising conclusions. In The Soul-Body Problem at Paris, ca. 1200–1250, the study and edition of some little-known texts of Hugh of St-Cher and his contemporaries, ranging from Gilbert of Poitiers to Thomas Aquinas, reveals an extremely rich and colorful picture of the Parisian anthropological debate of the time. This book also offers an opportunity to reconsider some received views concerning medieval philosophy, such as the conviction that the notion of “person” did not play any major role in the anthropological controversies.

The Cold War and Cultural Expression in Southeast Asia Edited by Tony Day and Maya H. T. Liem
“These innovative essays compel us to reevaluate our understanding of the Cold War as a predominantly political and military event. Their consideration of a broad range of cultural forms—from literature and film to glossy magazines and bodybuilding—remind us that the Cold War’s influence on culture and its producers was as varied and complex as the Southeast Asian countries it touched. Lively and insightful, this rich collection is a valuable contribution to both Cold War studies and the modern histories of Southeast Asia.” —Richard a. Ruth, United States Naval academy, author of In Buddha’s Company: Thai Soldiers in the Vietnam War The Cold War in Southeast Asia was a many-faceted conflict, driven by regional historical imperatives as much as by the contest between global superpowers. The essays in this book offer the most detailed and probing examination to date of the cultural dimension of the Cold War in Southeast Asia. Southeast Asian culture from the late 1940s to the late 1970s was primarily shaped by a long-standing search for national identity and independence, which took place in the context of intense rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union, with the Peoples’ Republic of China emerging in 1949 as another major international competitor for influence in Southeast Asia. Based on fieldwork in Burma, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, the essays in this collection analyze the ways in which art, literature, film, theater, spectacle, physical culture, and the popular press represented Southeast Asian responses to the Cold War and commemorated that era’s violent conflicts long after tensions had subsided. Southeast Asian cultural reactions to the Cold War involved various solutions to the dilemmas of the newly independent nation-states of the region. What is common to all of the perspectives and works examined in this book is that they expressed social and aesthetic concerns that both antedated and outlasted the Cold War, ones that never became simply aligned with the ideologies of either bloc.

The State in Society in Indonesia Edited by Gerry van Klinken and Joshua Barker
This book reinvigorates our understanding of Indonesia’s modern state. Based on recent fieldwork in locales throughout the archipelago, the essays in this volume bring to life figures of authority— village and district heads, informal slum leaders, parliamentarians, and others—who have sought to carve out positions of power for themselves using legal and illegal means. These analytical portraits demonstrate that the state of Indonesia is not monolithic, but is constituted from the ground up by local negotiations and symbolic practices.

Conflict, Violence, and Displacement in Indonesia
Edited by Eva-Lotta E. Hedman

Caroline Hughes investigates the political situations in contemporary Cambodia and East Timor, where powerful international actors intervened following deadly civil conflicts. Her comparative analysis critiques donors’ policies that focus on rebuilding state institutions to accommodate the global market. In addition, it explores the dilemmas of politicians in Cambodia and East Timor who struggle to satisfy both wealthy foreign benefactors and constituents at home.

This volume foregrounds the dynamics of displacement and the experiences of internal refugees uprooted by conflict and violence in Indonesia. Contributors examine internal displacement in the context of militarized conflict and violence in East Timor, Aceh, and Papua, and in other parts of Outer Island Indonesia during the transition from authoritarian rule. The volume also explores official and humanitarian discourses on displacement and their significance for the politics of representation.

the African food system and Its Interactions with Human Health and Nutrition
Edited by Per Pinstrup-Andersen

the socioeconomic Dimensions of HIV/aIDS in africa
Challenges, Opportunities, and Misconceptions Edited by David E. Sahn

Hunger, malnutrition, poor health, and deficient food systems are widespread in Sub-Saharan Africa. While much is known about African food systems and about African health and nutrition, our understanding of the interaction between food systems and health and nutrition is deficient. Moreover, the potential health gains from changes in the food system are frequently overlooked in policy design and implementation. The authors of The African Food System and its Interactions with Human Health and Nutrition examine how public policy and research aimed at the food system and its interaction with human health and nutrition can improve the well-being of Africans and help achieve the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.
Contributors

Since the 1980s, HIV/AIDS has occupied a singular position because of the rapidly emergent threat and devastation the disease has caused, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. New infections continue to create a formidable challenge to households, communities, and health systems: last year alone, 2.7 million new infections occurred globally. Sub-Saharan Africa remains the epicenter of the suffering, with around two-thirds of infected individuals worldwide found there, and a disproportionate number of deaths and new infections. For years there have been widespread and concerted efforts to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS, identify a cure, and understand and mitigate the deleterious social and economic ramifications of the disease. The authors in this volume examine the HIV/AIDS crisis in Africa, which persists despite major strides in averting deaths due to antiretroviral therapy. They evaluate the socioeconomic implications of the disease and assess the effectiveness of efforts to control its spread and impact.
