Indiana University Press The Wretched of France
Book SynopsisTranslated into English for the first time, The Wretched of France contemplates the protest's lasting significance in France as well as its impact within the context of larger and comparable movements for civil rights, particularly in the US.Trade Review"In The Wretched of France, Abdellali Hajjat explores the complex interface between historical patterns of racial and social exclusion and marginalization in France and traces the challenging path to political visibility through activism, mobilization, and protest. The book is of utmost relevance to contemporary global conversations about anti-racism, diversity, inclusivity, and multiculturalism and provides invaluable insights into how ethnic mobilization continues to shape calls for individual freedom, equality, and social justice today."—Dominic Thomas, author of Black France, Letessier Professor of French and Francophone Studies, UCLA"The March for Equality and Against Racism was a turning point in the history of France's relationship with its postcolonial immigrants and ethnoracial minorities. In this compelling study, Abdellali Hajjat produces the first rigorous empirical account of the genealogy and sociology of a too often mythicized social movement, masterfully analyzing its political meaning and illuminating its blind spots."—Didier Fassin. James D. Wolfensohn Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study"Abdellali Hajjat's The Wretched of France, an exhaustively researched, sharply analytical, elegantly constructed explication of the 1983 March for Equality and against Racism, was pathbreaking when it came out in French in 2013. Now with a new Afterward, sketching the posthistory of racism and revolt, it remains essential reading, in both French and English, today. Melding archival research, interviews, close readings of the press and other media, with deep knowledge of French postcolonial history and the sociological and political science literatures on race and racism, and anti-racist political mobilizations on both sides of the Atlantic, Hajjat offers a uniquely original and powerful explanation for this crucial moment and its afterlives."—Leora Auslander, Arthur and Joann Rasmussen Professor of Western Civilization, University of ChicagoTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsList of AbbreviationsIntroduction: The Protest March as an Index of Social and Racial Tensions in France1.

University of California Press Pacifying the Homeland Intelligence Fusion and
Book SynopsisThe United States has poured over a billion dollars into a network of interagency intelligence centers called fusion centers. These centers were ostensibly set up to prevent terrorism, but politicians, the press, and policy advocates have criticized them for failing on this account. So why do these security systems persist? Pacifying the Homeland travels inside the secret world of intelligence fusion, looks beyond the apparent failure of fusion centers, and reveals a broader shift away from mass incarceration and toward a more surveillance- and police-intensive system of social regulation. Provided with unprecedented access to domestic intelligence centers, Brendan McQuade uncovers how the institutionalization of intelligence fusion enables decarceration without fully addressing the underlying social problems at the root of mass incarceration. The result is a startling analysis that contributes to the debates on surveillance, mass incarceration, and policing and challenges readers to see surveillance, policing, mass incarceration, and the security state in an entirely new light.Trade Review"Through comprehensive research, McQuade offers a substantial contribution to studies in policing, surveillance, historical sociology, and social justice. . . . As the book makes clear, “mass supervision, an outgrowth and extension of mass incarceration, helps maintain the stark—and starkly racialized—inequalities that characterize the United States." Understanding intelligence fusion and mass supervision is necessary to challenge such conditions, an effort Pacifying the Homeland contributes to greatly." * Journal of Criminal Justice Education *"Pacifying the Homeland is part of a wave of much needed critical policing studies that at once echo an earlier era in the study of radical criminology, while also heralding the arrival of a new interventionist, unapologetic structural analysis of policing." * Punishment & Society *"This is a vitally important book." * Religious Studies Review *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Prologue: Policing Camden’s crisis 1.

University of California Press Police Visibility
Book SynopsisPolice Visibility presents empirically grounded research into how police officers experience and manage the information politics of surveillance and visibility generated by the introduction of body cameras into their daily routines and the increasingly common experience of being recorded by civilian bystanders. Newell elucidates how these activities intersect with privacy, free speech, and access to information law and argues that rather than being emancipatory systems of police oversight, body-worn cameras are an evolution in police image work and state surveillance expansion. Throughout the book, he catalogs how surveillance generates information, the control of which creates and facilitates power and potentially fuels state domination. The antidote, he argues, is robust information law and policy that puts the power to monitor and regulate the police squarely in the hands of citizens. Trade Review"Newell’s informed recommendations move the policy conversation in a productive direction. They serve as an important bulwark against the ‘surveil now, ask questions later’ ethos undergirding much of the body camera policies currently in place." * Jotwell *"An exemplary case of an ethnography of a particularly difficult to reach group." * Surveillance & Society *"Bryce Newell has produced a well-researched study. . . .for those researching and writing on the efficacy and potential pitfalls of police [body-worn cameras]s, Newell’s necessary and impressive work should be your starting point." * Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Note about Prior Publications Introduction 1 Visibility, Surveillance, and the Police 2 Privacy, Speech, and Access to Information 3 Bystander Video and "the Right to Record" 4 Policing as (Monitored) Performance 5 The (Techno-)Regulation of Police Work 6 Public Disclosure as "Direct to YouTube" Alternative Conclusion Methodological Note Appendix A.

For Bauman the great issues of ethics have lost none of their topicality: they simply need to be seen, and dealt with, in a wholly new way. Our era, he suggests, may actually represent a dawning, rather than a twilight, for ethics.Trade Review"Bauman must be given credit for placing what Kant called the mysteries of 'moral law inside me' as the ultimate riddle of morality.

This is for those who wish to examine the basis of human bioethics thoroughly, whether they be novice or expert. Those who think they have clear attitudes to many of the ethical and social issues raised by developments in human genetics are likely to be forced to rethink at least some of their positions by the challenging and well-presented arguments that have been gathered together here." Angus Clarke, University of Wales "This timely book makes clear that genetic research will transform healthcare, choices about children, and standards of property. The contributors here stake out key questions facing health professionals and social policy makers, and they have insightful things to say about how we should go about answering those questions." Timothy F. Murphy, University of IllinoisCollege of Medicine at Chicago " ... Genethics makes some important contributions, offering a primer on key aspects of contemporary genetics before focusing on some of the most important ethical, legal, economic, political issues facing researchers, politicians, and, to some extent, the general population ... The book's strengths are its multidisciplinary approach, the overall quality of its contributions, and the refusal of most contributors to oversimplify and risk the microdeterminism of many popular essays."

Book SynopsisApplied Ethics focuses the central concepts of traditional morality - rights, justice, the good, virtue, and the fundamental value of human life - on a number of pressing contemporary problems, including abortion, euthanasia, animals, capital punishment, and war.Trade Review"The best accessible guide to “just war” theory, and the whole Aquinas approach to philosophy, is Applied Ethics by David S. Oderberg, published by Blackwell." Michael Gove, The Times, September 26, 2001 "It is a robust and uncompromising defence of traditional values." Stuart Reid, The Spectator, 25th November 2000 "Not the least merit of Oderberg's treatment of [the themes in Applied Ethics] is attention to the detail of realistic cases. This is casuistry in the true sense, designed to reveal and develop the lineaments of our actual moral thinking..."

Harvard University Press Contraception and Abortion from the Ancient World
Book SynopsisRiddle uncovers the obscure history of contraception and abortifacients from ancient Egypt to the 17th century with forays into Victorian England. He explores whether it was possible for premodern people to regulate their reproduction without resorting to dangerous surgical abortions, the killing of infants, or the denial of biological urges.Trade ReviewRiddle’s study is a true turning point in the history of contraception and abortion, which may have large implications for the history of the medical and psychic experience of women in antiquity, folk medicine, and premodern demography. -- W. V. Harris * New York Review of Books *Riddle shows us that ancient contraceptive medical practices were safe, effective and commonly used. Sociological studies on their use remain to be carried out. But it is possible that, between the Middle Ages and the rise of modern contraception, the well-off and city dwellers had little access to effective contraception, thanks to the growth of conventional medicine and the soaring social power of the physician. This is just one of the many intriguing lines of investigation to arise from this book, which shines a different light on what we are generally taught about the ‘progress’ of the modern world. -- Michel Raymond * Nature *[Riddle’s] findings carry important implications for the history of theology, casuistry, pastoral care, social history, the history of sexuality, and the history of popular culture, as well as the history of botany, pharmacy, medicine, and biochemistry… These findings should earn Riddle the gratitude of the numerous historians for whom the reproductive strategies of past generations are an important issue. -- James A. Brundage * American Historical Review *Gives us a valuable glimpse of the long reach of history on fertility and provides food for thought on possible options that science should research for both safety and efficacy. -- Portia Meares * Herb Quarterly *Table of ContentsPreface Population and Sex Evidence for Oral Contraceptives and Abortifacients Soranus on Antifertility Agents Terminology in Dioscorides' De materia medica Early Stage Abortifacients in Dioscorides and Soranus Ancient Society and Birth Control Agents Egyptian Papyrus Sources Greek and Roman Medicine from Hippocrates to Galen The Late Roman Empire and Early Middle Ages The Middle Ages: The Church, Macer, and Hildegard Salerno and Medicine through the Twelfth Century Islam, Arabic Medicine, and the Late Middle Ages Knowledge of Birth Control in the West The Renaissance Later Developments Abbreviations Notes Bibliography Index

Book SynopsisProvides an overview of the ethical and legal issues raised by assisted suicide and euthanasia. This work assesses the strengths and weaknesses of contemporary ethical arguments for assisted suicide and euthanasia. It explores evidence and case histories from the Netherlands and Oregon, where the practices have been legalized.Trade Review"I believe that anyone who is concerned about the issue must engage with [Gorsuch's] arguments."--Raymond Tallis, Times Literary Supplement "Gorsuch lucidly lays out the key ethical and philosophical arguments on both sides... [This] is the most important book published so far in consideration of ethical and legal issues."--Kevin Yuill, Spiked Review of Books "The author provides a thorough overview of the ethical and legal issues raised by assisted suicide and euthanasia, as well as the most comprehensive argument against their legalization."--Issues in Law & Medicine "Gorsuch reviews the case law and the range of ethical and legal issues surrounding assisted suicide and offers a strong argument against legalization of these practices, even as he considers both positions in the debate."--Law & Social Inquiry "For those who need insight into the part played by legislators and courts of justice in recent euthanasia discussions, Neil M. Gorsuch's book ... is an excellent source... [C]omprehensive and well argued."--Theo A. Boer, Journal of Religious Ethics "Neil M. Gorsuch builds a powerful moral and legal argument against [assisted suicide's] legalization, one based on a principle that has largely been overlooked in the debate--the idea that human life is intrinsically valuable and that intentional killing is wrong."--New Oxford Review "Thoroughly researched... Gorsuch is especially successful when exploring the relevant legal cases raised by assisted-suicide and euthanasia advocacy."--Wesley J. Smith, First Things "Goruch's book is an exceptional contribution to a debate that is both significant and topical.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Prostitution and Feminism
Book SynopsisFeminists have long differed in their view of prostitution. While some regard it as a classic form of exploitation and degradation, others offer a more sympathetic interpretation of women''s involvement in the sex industry. In this important new book, Maggie O''Neill seeks to explore the theoretical debates on prostitution and the relevance of these to the everyday lived experiences of women working on the streets. Based upon her own ethnographic research - defined as ethno-mimesis - the author seeks to undermine and demystify stereotypical images of prostitutes. She explores the narratives offered by prostitutes themselves, as well as other forms of their representation in film, art and photography, and shows how these various mediums may be used to shed light on the socio-economic processes and structures which lead women into prostitution. These personal accounts produce what O''Neill refers to as ''a politics of feeling'', which, she argues, may be used to transform attituTrade Review‘Prostitution and Feminism is a great examples of feminist research, developing new theoretical concepts and methodological approaches for a feminism that can entwine critical conceptual explorations with an ethnographic approach that brings life to the broader analysis. A wide-ranging, readable and authoritative book.’ – Vikki Bell, Goldsmiths College, University of London ‘By working across traditional disciplinary divides, O’Neill provides a stimulating and fresh approach to feminist work in the area of prostitution, at the same time making timely demands on the reader to think more deeply about the nature and purpose of feminist theory and research.’ – Jenny Ryan, Manchester Metropolitan UniversityTable of ContentsAcknowledgements.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Sex Literature and Censorship
Book SynopsisThose who love and live by art, tell us that it is the most exalted expression of civilized life. In this provocative new book Jonathan Dollimore argues that, far from confirming humane values, literature more often than not violates them.Trade Review‘In his original and exciting new book, Jonathan Dollimore sets out to liberate art from contemporary conservative and radical agendas, both of which, as he brilliantly shows, weaken the power of art by their naive faith in its cultural and moral efficacy. Great literature, like the best psychoanalytic theory, argues for the inevitable conflict between humane values and human desire: if we could agree to trust art less we might begin to accord it the seriousness it deserves.' Leo Bersani, University of California at Berkeley ‘No one grasps more fully than Jonathan Dollimore the challenges, evasions and deceptions in the volatile theorizing of identity and desire, past and present. His brilliant, theoretical synthesis combines with graphic experiential and literary analysis to render Sex, Literature and Censorship never less than enthralling. Erudite, provocative and delightful to read, what more could he do for us?' Lynne Segal, author of Why Feminism? ‘Jonathan Dollimore's Sex, Literature and Censorship continues his remarkably resonant inquiry into the darker, defiant regions of the creative imagination. The ethical aim of critical thinking, Dollimore provocatively suggests, requires us to intervene in the corporate consensus of the culture industry, and to resist the pedagogical etiquette of academia. He argues that we must explore the daemonic power of those subjects and objects that offend our tastes and traditions. We applaud and oppose him, following the dialectical destiny of dissidence to which he has skilfully introduced us.' Homi K. Bhabha, Harvard University '[A] feverish, political polemic.' Steven Poole, The Guardian 'Dollimore speaks an important truth when he suggests that some of the most compelling literature, past and present, hinges on the tension between, if not the incompatibility of, "the ethical conscience and the creative imagination".' The Independent 'Looking at the contradictions of identity-based sexual politics movements, [Dollimore] examines the ethics of knowledge and practice that circulate around ideas of danger - dangers to the self, dangerous knowledge - connecting these with questions posed by art as a site of danger in itself.' Radical Philosophy 'Sex, Literature, and Censorship is a book worth reading; it says provocative things we will ponder long after setting it down' Times Literary Supplement 'Biographical and autobiographical anecdote are one of the chief amusements of this book. Dollimore tells us of his first gay affair, his subsequent relationship with a woman, his particular sexual preferences. It is calculated to shock, performing the dissidence it preaches. Indeed, if I have criticism of the book, it is that it has nothing to say about the tenderness of sexual desire, but that probably reveals precisely how unradical i am.'

Cornell University Press Dirt for Arts Sake Books on Trial from Madame
Book SynopsisLadenson recounts the most visible of modern obscenity trials involving scandalous books and their authors.Trade ReviewA professor of French and comparative literature, Ladenson sets out to answer the question, 'How does an 'obscene' book become a 'classic'?' with this spry but exhaustive look at the history and culture surrounding the modern world's most controversial literature. Ladenson touches on numerous 'dirty' books, using a handful of landmark titles as jumping-off points for a wide-ranging survey: Madame Bovary, Les Fleurs du Mal, The Well of Loneliness, Ulysses, Lady Chatterley's Lover, Tropic of Cancer and Lolita. Using court records, novelists' letters, newspaper reviews and other books on the subject, Ladenson constructs a vivid composite of society's shifting relationship with such polarizing subjects as adultery, homosexuality and pedophilia—including the suppression thereof as well as the appetite therefor. Tracing the evolution of 'obscenity' from the 1850s to the late 20th century, Ladenson outlines the debates over 'art for art's sake,' as well as the province of realism, illustrating the rocky process of acceptance for the twin concepts and the literature they provoked. Witty, well-written and relevant, including fascinating details from the lives of writers, court cases as recent as the 1960s and as far-flung as Japan, and attempts to reinvent controversial works for contemporary audiences (such as two film versions of Lolita), this highly readable study should make scholars and book junkies as happy as pigs in lit. * Publishers Weekly *A witty and elegant study, written with an exceptional sensitivity to the multiple ironies regarding sex and censorship in literature.... With every text Ladenson so perceptively reads, she has something fresh and arresting to say. She is especially brilliant on Ulysses, along with Madame Bovary the most obvious work of genius under examination here.... Assuredly not an obvious work of genius is Lady Chatterley's Lover... and Ladenson's commentary on it is illuminating.... The chapter on Nabokov and Lolita is extremely funny: a chapter of accidents.... We still believe in censorship today. It's just that we're too hypocritical to call it censorship, and talk instead of 'inappropriate language' in regard to gender or ethnic stereotyping, and of the need to have our 'awareness raised'. Bah humbug, says Ladenson, in so many words. * Sunday Times *An absorbing study of a century's worth of literary obscenity trials. Between the landmark year of 1857, when Britain passed the Obscene Publications Act and France launched prosecutions against Baudelaire and Gustave Flaubert, through the trials of Ulysses, Lady Chatterley's Lover and Fanny Hill, Western culture completely overthrew its traditional concept of the relationship between art and morality, obliterating the very idea of literary obscenity. Out went the old—literature's duty to uphold the ideal—and in came the new: art for art's sake (exempt from moral judgment), and what Ladenson calls dirt for art's sake, art's duty to be realistic, particularly in sexuality. * Maclean's *Elisabeth Ladenson's witty meditation on literary obscenity pivots on 'irony, paradox, and absurdity.' How, she ruminates, can one generation's 'dirt' be another generation's 'art'? 'How does an obscene work become a classic?' It's a fascinating set of hows. Ladenson takes, as her principal texts, seven ambiguously obscene classic works of literature.... What adds freshness to her discussion is chapters on that infamous period of Gallic censorship when public prosecutor Ernest Pinard took Flaubert and Baudelaire to court. By so doing, he installed himself in the annals of literature—as one of its clowns. They also serve who makes fools of themselves for art. * Washington Post *In witty analyses, she establishes common themes and cross-references from nine obscenity trials, revealing shifting sensibilities and legal rulings since 1857 in France, England, and the US, occasionally to comic effect.... Highly recommended. All readers; all levels. * Choice *We have come to applaud transgression, Elisabeth Ladenson argues, but only so long as the values transgressed are different to our own. Discussions of Flaubert, Joyce, Nabokov, and Sade each illustrate the point well, as we see how their most controversial texts have been rewritten in print and film in order to moderate the original provocation. * Times Literary Supplement *

The narrative of China's Longest Campaign is presented in rich yet always pleasurably readable detail, and the research on which it is based is solid and comprehensive. White's analysis is cast, cleverly, in terms of a compelling set of puzzles: why would, and how could, the state undertake so unpopular a policy at a time of considerable political uncertainty, flux, and retrenchment? She offers an important, insightful correction to some of our best grassroots-centered theories of resistance and political change." -- Marc Blecher, Oberlin College"Tyrene White's careful reading of documentary evidence from the 1950s leads to a nuanced and interesting picture of internal debates within the Chinese leadership and among intellectuals about birth-control issues in a period prior to mandatory family planning. When discussing changes in mandatory family planning in the 1980s, White is able to rely on local evidence she collected, particularly in rural Hubei, on changes in the implementation of the policies she describes." -- Martin K.

Cornell University Press Killing for Life
Book SynopsisHow can those who seek to protect the "right to life" defend assassination in the name of saving lives? Carol Mason investigates this seeming paradox by examining pro-life literature—both archival material and writings from the front lines of the...Trade Review"Carol Mason has given us something new and important—an account which makes killing for life comprehensible, a logical outgrowth of millennialist ideology. She manages to do this in a way that treats millennialist thought and pro-life violence seriously and respectfully without romanticizing or justifying the perpetrators, and without falling into a simplistic clash of absolutes analysis." -- Marlene Gerber Fried, Hampshire College"Killing for Life is a groundbreaking analysis of the narrative and rhetorical strategies used by the 'prolife' movement in the U.S. Far from simply pointing to the absurdity or revulsive nature of various highly publicized prolife strategies (from murder of abortion-providers to throwing blood and alleged fetus parts on bystanders), Mason shows how this branch of the new right has radically reshaped the entire framework of political debate about the body and its use and women's right to control the destiny of their own bodies. Unlike other writers, who view the new right as a fringe conspiracy, Mason shows the continuity between abortion foes and neo-liberal critics of the welfare state. This book is essential reading for those concerned with democratic processes and with the rights of women and minorities." -- Cindy Patton, author of Globalizing AIDS"Not only does Carol Mason provide an intricate history of the pro-life movement, but, in a book that should be required reading for anyone concerned with national politics, she also shows how central that movement's intense grassroots organizing and worldview was to the contemporary consolidation of right-wing conservatism at a national level, where many of its members are now in powerful positions, both in and out of government. The book is a model of accessibility, in that it is a fascinating read, but the author also develops a technique of reflexivity, in which she traces theoretical concepts such as textuality, narrative, cultural logics, and the political unconscious, and then, by way of interviews and archival material, anchors them in meticulously rigorous and concrete historical descriptions and contexts." -- Linda Kintz, University of Oregon

This excellent book is analytically important, methodologically innovative, and breaks new ground in the study of social movements, legal consciousness, and the first amendment." -- Laura Beth Nielsen * Northwestern University, American Bar Foundation, author of License to Harass: Law, Hierarchy, and Offensive Public Speech *"On about as hot a subject as a scholar can take on, Joshua Wilson has sensitively and exhaustively shown how activists' 'stories' about the law shape the everyday politics of abortion. Blending political science and sociology, this is modern legal scholarship at its very best." -- Steven Teles * Johns Hopkins University, author of The Rise of the Conservative Legal Movement *"Joshua Wilson shows how the interactions of protesters at abortion clinics and their legal defeats actually helped to institutionalize the anti-abortion movement. This important new work on abortion politics greatly advances our understanding of movement/countermovement dynamics and the power of law." -- Suzanne Staggenborg * University of Pittsburgh *

Stanford University Press The Good Life
Book SynopsisWhat could middle-class German supermarket shoppers buying eggs and impoverished coffee farmers in Guatemala possibly have in common? Both groups use the market in pursuit of the good life. But what exactly is the good life? How do we define wellbeing beyond material standards of living? While we all may want to live the good life, we differ widely on just what that entails. In The Good Life, Edward Fischer examines wellbeing in very different cultural contexts to uncover shared notions of the good life and how best to achieve it. With fascinating on-the-ground narratives of Germans' choices regarding the purchase of eggs and cars, and Guatemalans' trade in coffee and cocaine, Fischer presents a richly layered understanding of how aspiration, opportunity, dignity, and purpose comprise the good life.Trade Review"Fischer has carved out an important piece of the wellbeing puzzle . . . It will be interesting to see how positive anthropology develops as a new branch of the discipline. That is where anthropology can get exciting." -- Benjamin N. Colby * American Anthropologist *"In this excellent book, Ted Fischer introduces us to Guatemalan farmers and German consumers and shows us how culturally-held values enter into economic decision-making, exposing the similarities that exist even while investigating separate corners of the world. An important contribution to economic anthropology that will be of interest to anyone concerned with the ethical dimensions of economic life." -- Jens Beckert * Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies *"Homo economicus, the representative rational actor assumed in economists' models, is a social moron. Fischer's keen eye for social detail reveals how markets populated by actual people often behave very differently from those portrayed in economics textbooks. This delightful book helps explain why policy makers around the world are increasingly attentive to the important distinction between well-being and per-capita income." -- Robert H. Frank * Cornell University *"In the burgeoning literature on markets and moralities, The Good Life is a benchmark exercise in reconciling well-being, rationalities and in balancing the study of economic externalities with ethical internalities. It will be of great interest to ethnographers of the economy and to all thinkers concerned with the value of values." -- Arjun Appadurai * New York University *"A fine anthropological addition to the growing interdisciplinary project of happiness and well-being studies . . . Highly recommended." -- B. Weston * Choice *

University of Pennsylvania Press Moralitys Muddy Waters
Book SynopsisGeorge Cotkin looks at diverse yet central issues such as the problem of evil, moral responsibility, racial identity, and capital punishment, juxtaposed against events such as the bombing of civilians during World War II, the My Lai Massacre, and the invasion of Iraq to demonstrate that moral complexity and confusion can be productive.Trade Review"Morality's Muddy Waters tackles big, first order questions and ranges over a half century. Cotkin . . . demonstrates the power of historical investigation and reflection to illuminate ethical problems. He prefers fact-based particularity to abstract universalizing and offers us compelling evidence of the former's strengths. He works hard to visit all sides of the ethical questions he covers. His approach is judicious, and his prose, despite the well described muddiness of his subject, is lucid." * The Common Review *"Cotkin is a clear-headed thinker and writer at home in both philosophy and recent US history." * Choice *"George Cotkin is one of our premier cultural historians. This book once again confirms his profound probings of the rich nuances and crevices of the American past and present." * Cornel West, Princeton University *"In Morality's Muddy Waters, George Cotkin thinks in new ways about the moral and political presuppositions of contemporary American culture and its recent past. You will not always agree with his answers, but the questions he poses about our civic life are arresting and perceptive." * Bruce Kuklick, author of Blind Oracles: Intellectuals and War from Kennan to Kissinger *"Morality's Muddy Waters is a pathbreaking book that makes some of the most troubling episodes in modern U.S. history available to readers struggling with contemporary moral dilemmas of the greatest urgency. Cotkin writes with intelligence, nuance, and a deep humanity." * Casey Nelson Blake, Columbia University *Table of ContentsPreface Introduction 1 The Problems of Evil 7 Part I.
