MP-KAN Uni Press of Kansas Speaking Freely Whitney v. California and American Speech Law
Trade Review“Philippa Strum is arguably the leading Brandeis scholar of the last fifty years. Justice Brandeis’s opinion in Whitney v. California is arguably the most inspiring and enduring judicial account ever of the reasons for a strong free speech principle. It seems only natural that Philippa Strum should write the definitive book on Whitney v. California. And she has done just that.” Vincent Blasi, Corliss Lamont Professor of Civil Liberties at Columbia Law School “Philippa Strum tells a fascinating story about a familiar and famous case, providing the social and political background missing from most accounts, while, at the same time, making the constitutional arguments alive and relevant. A errific read.” H. N. Hirsch, Professor of Politics and Comparative American Studies at Oberlin College.

Rlpg/Galleys Nation State and Territory
Book SynopsisGlobalization seems to be making nation-states increasingly irrelevant, yet their number has continued to grow in recent years. New nation-states emerged out of the ruins of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia; more still may come as Palestinians, Kurds, Chechens, and other peoples struggle tenaciously to establish their own. Nation, State, and Territory shows that national identities are as potent as ever. Today many conflicts rage over places and territories of historical, linguistic, and religious significance. Many analyses, however, only consider the economic and geostrategic value of territory. George W. White shows that national identity is intimately bound to specific places and territories. Nation, state, and territory are mutually defining and reinforcing phenomena, and through careful analysis White examines their origins, evolutions, and relationships to provide a better understanding of the interactions and conflicts of the world''s nation-states.Trade ReviewWhite is to be commended for placing such a large swath of European political history in a context that highlights the evolution of nationalism, particularly the linkages between national identity and territoriality. . . . A well-written and thoughtful look at the importance of geography in understanding nationalism. * Professional Geographer *Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: Nations as Spatial Entities Chapter 2: States as Spatial Entities Chapter 3: The Birth of Modern European Nations and States Chapter 4: The Maturation of Modern European Nations and States Chapter 5: Interlogue

Book SynopsisA sensitive and insightful critique of the contradictions of Zionism.Trade Review'An impressive, important book. If persons following the current discussion and concerned about the problems of Jews and Zionism and Israel and the Middle-East, even world peace, could have but one book on the subject on their shelf, it should be this one' -- Media Lens'Absolutely fundamental for those who reject the unfortunate confusion between Jews, Judaism, Zionism and the State of Israel - convincingly argues in favour of a single secular state for Israelis and Palestinians as the only democratic solution for the region' -- Samir Amin, director of the Third World Forum'Joel Kovel's uncompromising criticism of Zionism is rooted in a very deep feeling of empathy and solidarity with his fellow-Jews caught in the death-trap of the Zionist adventure. The way out Kovel is suggesting - a bi-national Israeli-Palestinian state - may be challenged, but definitely not ignored' -- Michel Warschawski, former director of the Alternative Information Centre in JerusalemTable of ContentsPrologue Part One COMING TO ZION 1.
