Fordham University Press Death and Other Penalties Philosophy in a Time
Book SynopsisA collection of essays by diverse group of scholars who analyze issues raised by the U.S. prison system. Authors critique the racist, sexist, heterosexist, ableist, and economic injustices that uphold mass incarceration, practices of solitary confinement, and capital punishment.Trade Review"This is a crucially important work, one that while centering on philosophy far exceeds the bounds of the discipline, reaching out toward the concrete to grapple not just with a, but the question of our moment in ways that are both practical and rigorous." -- -George Ciccariello-Maher Drexel University "What does it mean to live in what Wacquant has called 'the first genuine prison society in history' and to be caught in the grip of a carceral state, economy, and public imaginary? What does philosophy, or rather philosophers, have to say about what this cancer growing in the very viscera of democracy: racialized, systematic, and capillary massive imprisonment? Perhaps philosophy itself has been imprisoned by its silence about this societal crisis. This anthology brings together philosophers, prison activists, former and present prisoners, to offer what are unquestionably the most thorough, insightful and incisive analyses of the origins and nefarious effects that the prison industrial complex has on our imprisoned democracy. Ranging across the philosophical corpus, from Nietzsche through Davis to Derrida, the contributors put philosophy to work on behalf of abolitionism, decarceration and reconstruction. The editors, however, have more than saved the honor of philosophy by having it address one of our most pressing yet invisible problems we face; they have given us a work that established a new benchmark. Henceforth, we must begin with this text if we are to think about racial justice and the democracy to come that the abolition of slavery promised but that at the very moment of its birth was compromised. There will be no racial democracy without abolition democracy. This is the new imperative that W.E.B. DuBois enunciated nearly a century ago, but which has become more urgent in our time." -- -Eduardo Mendieta Stony Brook University "Death and Other Penalties: Philosophical Interventions in a Time of Mass Incarceration is a brilliant collection of articles that draw on continental philosophers in order to consider the prison industrial complex, the death penalty in the United States, and the intersecting oppressions of racism, ableism, classism, sexism and heterosexism that are at work in these institutions and practices. The articles are innovative and accessible." -- -Chloe Taylor University of AlbertaTable of ContentsContents Introduction: Death and Other Penalties Geoffrey Adelsberg, Lisa Guenther, and Scott Zeman 1 Part I.

Fordham University Press Inventing Americas First Immigration Crisis
Book SynopsisWhy have Americans expressed concern about immigration at some times but not at others? In pursuit of an answer, this book examines America's first nativist movement, which responded to the rapid influx of 4.2 million immigrants between 1840 and 1860 and culminated in the dramatic rise of the National American Party. As previous studies have focused on the coasts, historians have not yet completely explained why westerners joined the ranks of the National American, or Know Nothing, Party or why the nation's bloodiest anti-immigrant riots erupted in western citiesnamely Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville, and St. Louis. In focusing on the antebellum West, Inventing America's First Immigration Crisis illuminates the cultural, economic, and political issues that originally motivated American nativism and explains how it ultimately shaped the political relationship between church and state. In six detailed chapters, Ritter explains how unprecedented immigration from Europe and rapid westwarTable of ContentsIntroduction | 1 Chapter 1 The Valley of Decision | 9 Chapter 2 Culture War | 31 Chapter 3 The Power of Nativist Rhetoric | 60 Chapter 4 The Order of Know-Nothings and Secret Democracy | 82 Chapter 5 Crime, Poverty, and the Economic Origins of Political Nativism | 105 Chapter 6 From Anti-Catholicism to Church-State Separation | 148 Epilogue The Specter of Anti-Catholicism, New Nativism, and the Ascendancy of Religious Freedom | 174 Notes | 185 Index | 251

University of Hawai'i Press California Dreaming Movement and Place in the
Book SynopsisA multi-genre collection featuring works by Asian American artists based in California. Exploring the places of Asian America through the migration and circulation of the arts, this volume highlights creative processes and the flow of objects to understand the rendering of California's imaginary.Trade ReviewTo be sure, California Dreaming fills a remarkable gap within Asian American studies, an interdiscipline that often rehearses its Pacific state origins: born out of West Coast student protests and shaped by multiple migrations to and fro, Asian American studies has most recently endeavored to situate its growth as "east of California" (as evidenced by other regional collections concentrated on the U.S. South, the Midwest, and New England). What sets this collection apart from others in the field is its truly interdisciplinary purview and its aesthetically motivated regional focus. California Dreaming brings together works by an impressive intergenerational group of Asian American scholars, artists, performers, and writers, who offer fresh and engaging insights on California by providing a richly textured juxtaposition of scholarly essays alongside a number of engaging literary, theatrical, and performative texts. This anthology is significant because it highlights the diversity of Asian American literary and artistic practices by Filipino/a, South Asian American, Vietnamese American, Japanese American, Cambodian American, Korean American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Latino, Sri Lankan American, and Chinese American, queer, and mixed race practitioners.

It put the Coloured community at the mercy of a ruling establishment that was generally unsympathetic and that usually acted in prejudicial, and sometimes even malicious, ways.”“The book is one of the few that examines in detail various aspects of Coloured people’s history, including the disconcerting and discomfiting aspects of Coloured identity rarely discussed in other texts.… A well-written and strongly argued book with original, stimulating and thought-provoking ideas.”“Adhikari succeeds in offering one of the most accessible frameworks for organizing the history behind Coloured identity to date.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Culture and Dignity
Book SynopsisIn Culture and Dignity - Dialogues between the Middle East and the West, renowned cultural anthropologist Laura Nader examines the historical and ethnographic roots of the complex relationship between the East and the West, revealing how cultural differences can lead to violence or a more peaceful co-existence. Outlines an anthropology for the 21st century that focuses on the myriad connections between peoplesespecially the critical intercultural dialogues between the cultures of the East and the West Takes an historical and ethnographic approach to studying the intermingling of Arab peoples and the West. Demonstrates how cultural exchange between the East and West is a two-way process Presents an anthropological perspective on issues such as religious fundamentalism, the lives of women and children, notions of violence and order Trade Review“This kind of work needs more deliberation in the academic world and it is a delight for practitioners who are interested in radicalising the discipline and practice of anthropology. Since the book eschews technical language of the specialist, it is equally accessible to the nonspecialist reader.” (Journal of Intercultural Studies, 1 January 2015) “The book is written in an engaging and highly accessible manner. Although it would have benefited from a deeper differentiated discussion of ‘cultural dignity’ and what it means in this world that Nader paints, Culture and dignity is a thought-provoking exercise in the kind of connections we need to make for an anthropology committed to a more honest and robust knowledge of the Middle East and the world.” (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, 1 January 2014) “Drawing from an eclectic sample of literature dealing with the global connections between the Middle East and the West, the author achieves a much needed – and very timely – intellectual ‘check-up’ and warns us against cultural framings that serve to side-line serious explorations of the roots and nature of human suffering. It is crucial for all those of us who are genuinely concerned with peace to liberate our imaginations from the myths and stereotypes that work to divide us.” (Studies in Ethnicity And Nationalism, 15 October 2013) “The collection reflects the many lasting contributions Nader has made to understanding and improving the human condition.

WW Norton & Co Daughters of the Flower Fragrant Garden
Book SynopsisSisters separated by war forge new identities as they are forced to choose between family, nation and their own independenceTrade Review"With sensitivity and sincerity, Daughters of the Flower Fragrant Garden takes readers through the most complicated, difficult, sorrowful, and indecipherable years in China’s modern history. Zhuqing Li’s beautifully narrated family stories are tightly entangled with the wider historical context, unfolding on a magnificent scale, and evoke unique feelings of pain and helplessness that belong to that era." -- Ai Wei Wei, author of 1000 Years of Joys and Sorrows"A heartrending story, beautifully told, about the struggles and triumphs of two sisters separated by the Taiwan Strait, but united in their determination to pursue meaningful lives amid political upheaval. I couldn’t stop reading it." -- Amy Stanley, author of Stranger in the Shogun's City"In gorgeous prose, Zhuqing Li tells a story that is at once distinctive and familiar, of Chinese families of a certain generation that lived through wars, revolutions, separations, and reunions. I couldn’t put it down. A lovely book." -- Mae Ngai, author of The Chinese Question"At last, a profoundly human story that illuminates the staggering personal consequences of China and Taiwan’s historic split—from both sides. Rare is the author who can portray war and its aftermath so evenhandedly. This powerful page-turner of a family torn apart—and surviving—is as unforgettable as it is important." -- Nicole Mones, author of The Last Chinese Chef"Exceptional...Daughters of the Flower Fragrant Garden is not a history of Taiwan-China relations, but in telling this gripping narrative of one family divided by the ‘bamboo curtain,’ Li sheds light on how Taiwan came to be — and why China might one day risk everything to take it." -- Deirdre Mask - The New York Times"[Li] recounts this real-life saga of rupture and reunion in propulsive, poignant detail. The book’s gripping narrative reveals the devastating human cost of the Chinese Revolution and will resonate, in particular, with anyone whose family has been severed by political events... The author’s perspective, from having lived both inside and outside the People’s Republic of China, yields exceptional insight into her aunts’ personal histories and the constantly shifting political vicissitudes they endured. She unspools the unexpected, accidental swerves each life took with spellbinding grace. Here, in the pages of her book, she has knit together the family story as it was lived in both Chinas." -- Diane Cole - The Wall Street Journal

It does valuable work in demonstrating the need to explore a more 'human-activity-based' approach to equal opportunity and provides as such a good starting point for further research. It is written for a broad audience: its argument is accessible and challenging not only for advanced students and professors in the social sciences, but also for general readers.

Johns Hopkins University Press The Algiers Motel Incident
Book SynopsisFrom the bestselling author of Hiroshima, a searing account of police brutality, white racism, and black rage in 1960s Detroit. On the evening of July 25, 1967, on the third night of the 12th Street Riot, Detroit police raided the Algiers Motel. Acting on a report of gunfire, officers rounded up the occupants of the motel's annexseveral black men and two white womenand proceeded to beat them and repeatedly threaten to kill them. By the end of the night, three of the men were dead. Three police officers and a private security guard were tried for their deaths; none were convicted. In The Algiers Motel Incident, first published in 1968, Pulitzer Prizewinning author John Hersey strings together interviews, police reports, court testimony, and news stories to recount the terrible events of that night. The result is chaotic and sometimes confusing; facts remain elusive. But, Hersey concludes, the truth is clear: three young black men were murdered for being, all in all, black young men anTrade Review[The Algiers Motel Incident] demonstrates [Hersey's] astonishing talent for eliciting oral history and forensically reconstructing the experiences of people who have endured a major disaster. —Nicholas Lemann, The New YokerTable of ContentsForeword: Danielle L.

Johns Hopkins University Press Hold It Real Still
Book SynopsisHow did the American western feature film genre rebrand itself in the late seventies and respond to the fury of global and domestic political affairs?In Hold It Real Still, Lawrence Jackson examines Clint Eastwood's influence on the western film while also exploring how that genre continues to operate into the twenty-first century as an ideological channel for ideas about race and imperialism. Jackson argues that the western genre pivoted from an initial doctrine of racial liberalism, albeit a clumsy one, during the John Wayne years to a motile agenda of substitution, exclusion, and false equivalency during the Clint Eastwood period. The book traces how Eastwood, an actor first associated with the avant-garde, anti-colonialist discourse of spaghetti western cinema, reversed himself in the second half of the 1970s with The Outlaw Josey Walesa film that had at its heart the fantasy of Black erasure from American life. Jackson situates Eastwood's work as a response to massive social and pTable of ContentsIntroductionChapter One. Black Representations in the WesternChapter Two.

American Psychological Association Microaggressions and Traumatic Stress
Book Synopsis Challenging current definitions of trauma, Kevin L. Nadal distills the latest research on the effects of microaggressions, looking at how regular exposure to subtle discrimination can, over time, elicit similar symptoms to severe trauma. Previous research on trauma has suggested that it results from experiencing or witnessing actual or threatened death, or serious injury, but this view has been expanding in recent years. New research has focused on the relationship between persistent, often casual social discrimination and trauma. In a changing world where discrimination seems to take center stage on the news, more and more individuals are able to put a name to the daily microaggressions that may plague their lives. These stressors can act as trigger mechanisms that impact their ability to cope with life stressors, affecting self-esteem and relationships. This brief but comprehensive volume includes illustrative case studies that will help prTrade ReviewThe book's strength lies both in its summary of trauma and microaggression research for underacknowledged members of our population and in its normalization of intersectionality… Highly recommended. * Choice *Table of ContentsSeries Foreword Preface Acknowledgments Introduction Chapter 1.
