David Zwirner The Sweet Flypaper of Life
Book Synopsis“The people in these photographs had no walls up. They just accepted me and permitted me to take their photographs without any self-consciousness.” —Roy DeCaravaThe Sweet Flypaper of Life is a “poem” about ordinary people, about teenagers around a jukebox, about children at an open fire hydrant, about riding the subway alone at night, about picket lines and artist work spaces. This renowned, life-affirming collaboration between artist Roy DeCarava and writer Langston Hughes honors in words and pictures what the authors saw, knew, and felt deeply about life in their city. Hughes’s heart-warming description of Harlem in the late 1940s and early 1950s is seen through the eyes of one grandmother, Sister Mary Bradley. As she guides the reader through the lives of those around her, we imagine the babies born, families in struggle, children yet flourishing. We experience the sights and sounds of Harlem as seen through her

Cambridge University Press Critical Race Theory
Book SynopsisThis Element explores Critical Race Theory (CRT) and its potential application to the field of public administration. It proposes specific areas within the field where a CRT framework would help to uncover and rectify structural and institutional racism. This is paramount given the high priority that the field places on social equity, the third pillar of public administration. If there is a desire to achieve social equity and justice, systematic, structural racism needs to be addressed and confronted directly. The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement is one example of the urgency and significance of applying theories from a variety of disciplines to the study of racism in public administration.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Critical Race Theory; Critical Race Methodology; Application of CRT to Public Administrative Studies; CRT and Public Administration: Bridging Theory with Practice; Conclusion; Appendix: Evaluating Quantitative Public Health Studies from a CRT Perspective

Cambridge University Press We the King
Book SynopsisWe, the King reveals how ordinary subjects aided and abetted law-making in the Spanish Empire, demonstrating how its policies, racial categories, and society were created from the bottom up. An important study for scholars of Colonial Latin America, this work reassesses our understandings of kingship, empire, race, and colonialism.Trade Review'Meticulously researched and beautifully written, We, the King unveils the labyrinthine petitioning process involved in enacting thousands of legislative decrees and reveals how diligent vassals shaped colonial policies and categories of difference. It dismantles the standard view of the Spanish colonial state as the architect of legal rule that was all-seeing and all-pervasive. This outstanding work should be required reading for all colonial Latin Americanists.' Nancy E. van Deusen, author of Global Indos: The Indigenous Struggle for Justice in Sixteenth-Century Spain'Adrian Masters has produced an ambitious study of early modern bureaucracy, law-making, and subaltern agency. Deeply researched and carefully written, We, the King is an indispensable resource for scholars of the Iberian empire.' Michelle McKinley, author of Fractional Freedoms: Slavery, Intimacy and Legal Mobilization in Colonial Lima, 1600–1700'In this tour de force analysis of lawmaking in the early modern Spanish empire, Adrian Masters reveals that not only were the king's New World vassals co-creators of royal law, but most provocatively, that it was their petitions to the crown that helped codify the human differences that would inform the caste system.' S. Elizabeth Penry, author of The People Are King: The Making of an Indigenous Andean Politics'Adrian Masters masterfully unpacks the powerful legal fiction of the King of Spain and Emperor of the Indies, demonstrating that the world's first global empire was a contingent and collective enterprise made by paper-peddling brokers and subalterns. A must read for anyone interested in the early modern history of empires and governance.'

Taylor & Francis ThaiWestern Mobilities and Migration
Book SynopsisThe chapters in this volume study transnational social relationships and cross-border connections between âordinaryâ people that arise from the increasingly large-scale mobilities and migrations between Thailand and âthe Westâ. While Thai and Western peopleâs social relationships are usually studied as personal stories within a cross-border marriage migration perspective, this book considers it necessary to see them as more than marriage migration.Even though a focus on the âpersonal life storiesâ of marriage migrants provides valuable insights, it can also mask consideration of the structural context of socially embedded cross- border connections and exchanges, as well as state restrictions, that, first, make peopleâs decisions to move a possibility in the first place, and second, shape a migrantâs post- migration life- trajectory and experiences, relative to others in their origin and settlement societies. The chapters on Thai women who marry and move with older Western menTable of Contents1. Introduction – Globalising Thailand through gendered ‘both- ways’ migration pathways with ‘the West’: cross- border connections between people, states, and places 2. Globalising the Thai ‘high- touch’ industry: exports of care and body work and gendered mobilities to and from Thailand 3. Living the long- term consequences of Thai- Western marriage migration: the radical life- course transformations of women who partner older Westerners 4.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Diego Maradona
Book SynopsisThis is the first book in English to closely examine the life of Diego Maradona from socio-cultural perspectives, exploring how his status as an icon, a popular sporting hero, and a political figurehead has been culturally constructed, reproduced, and manipulated.The volume looks at representations of Maradona across a wide variety of media, including literature, cinema, popular music, printed and online press, and radio, and in different countries around the world, to cast new light on topics such as the instrumentality of sporting heroes and the links among sport, nationalism, and ideology. It shows how the life of Maradona from his origins in the barrio through to his rise to god-like status in Naples and as a postcolonial symbol of courage and resistance against imperial powers across the global south, alongside scandal and his fall from grace powerfully illustrates themes such as the dynamics of gender, justice, and affect that underpin the study of sport, cultuTrade Review'This text offers much to the academic specialist, the armchair sports watcher and those also interested in the broader issue of fandom and celebrity. With especially strong chapters on the Spanish and Italian dimension of Maradona’s career by Garcia Cames and Russo as well as Boyle on Maradona and Britain, the work is destined to have a wide and long-lasting appeal. Brescia and Paz have also opened an avenue of investigation and analysis that could prove valuable in the assessment of other major historical sporting figures most notably Shane Warne, Mohammed Ali, Arthur Ashe and Colin Kaepernick, with respect to gaining a deeper insight into wider manifestations of popular culture and the growing impact of sport in moulding a key component of evolving national identity, socio-political priority and nation-building.'- Russell Holden, In the Zone Sport and Politics ConsultancyTable of ContentsIntroduction: The Cultural Significance of Maradona, Part I: Global Maradona, 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Racism and the Tory Party
Racism is an endemic feature of the Tory Party. Tracing the history of that racism, Racism and the Tory Party investigates the changing forms of racism in the party from the days of Empire, including the championing of imperialism at the turn of the 20th century and the ramping up of antisemitism, the imperial and racial' politics of Winston Churchill, the rise of Enoch Powell and Powellism, to the Margaret Thatcher years, the birth of racecraft' and her polices in Northern Ireland, and the hostile environment and its consolidation and expansion under Theresa May and Boris Johnson's premierships. Throughout the book, all forms of racism are addressed including the various forms of colour-coded and as well as non-colour-coded racism as they are put in their historical and economic contexts.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Speaking my Soul
Book SynopsisSpeaking My Soul is the honest story of linguist John R. Rickford's life from his early years as the youngest of ten children in Guyana to his status as Emeritus Professor of Linguistics at Stanford, of the transformation of his identity from colored or mixed race in Guyana to black in the USA, and of his work championing Black Talk and its speakers.This is an inspiring story of the personal and professional growth of a black scholar, from his life as an immigrant to the USA to a world-renowned expert who has made a leading contribution to the study of African American life, history, language and culture. In this engaging memoir, Rickford recalls landmark events for his racial identity like being elected president of the Black Student Association at the University of California, Santa Cruz; learning from black expeditions to the South Carolina Sea Islands, Jamaica, Belize and Ghana; and meeting or interviewing civil rights icons like Huey P. Newton, Rosa Parks and SoutTrade ReviewSpeaking my Soul: Race, Life and Language is a fascinating account of a life that started in colonial British Guiana (now Guyana) but is transformed by emigration to the United States in the turbulent late 1960s. Arrival here as a college student challenges Rickford to the core. The embracing Black Power movement presents him with a chance to discover a self essentially misled in British Guiana; seizing that chance, he exorcises some of the main colonialist demons, especially those involving the privilege of possessing a "light" skin color that is often a barrier between him, and others like him, and the black masses. Finding in the study of sociolinguistics a field of inquiry that reinforces his new self-perception, he becomes an expert above all on the dignity and integrity of "Black English." In a crucial way, this is an act of love, and love is a crucial feature here: above all, love of family and love of academia but also love of the masses of people everywhere. This is a notable, instructive story of a remarkable life and career.Arnold Rampersad, author of biographies of Jackie Robinson, Langston Hughes, and Ralph Ellison, and co-author of Arthur Ashe: Days of Grace, a MemoirIn this remarkable and compelling story about love, family, poetry, language, education, activism, and the evolution of identity and acceptance, John R. Rickford illuminates the transatlantic ties that bind Caribbean, African, and African American cultures, and the complexities of race that informed his own journey from Guyana to the U.S.Tracey L. Weldon, author, Middle Class African American EnglishRickford is not just one of the first scholars of color to study modern sociolinguistics. His model as an educator, family member, and friend has made our profession more humble, kinder, and more caring. He is a transformative figure who has written a captivating account of his journey from the single bedroom with nine kids in Guyana to the leader of the sociolinguistic world. A riveting, inspirational account!Walt Wolfram, author of Dialects and American English, Appalachian English, and Talkin’ Tar HeelSpeaking my Soul: Race, Life and Language is such a moving memoir—at once a highly personal family story, and yet one with insights that make this book also an invaluable contribution to Black Studies, Diasporic Studies, and the emerging field of Critical Mixed Race Studies. Rickford’s intimate family account of his own complex racial heritage, paired with an insider’s view of a field of research that he himself shaped, is a wholly engrossing read. The divine irony that this world-renowned pioneer in sociolinguistics temporarily lost his speech after a stroke makes this memoir an even more poignant reflection on life and language.Michele Elam, author of The Souls of Mixed Folk and editor of The Cambridge Companion to James BaldwinThis moving and honest memoir is crucial to understanding the wider reaches of identity in a multi-racial former British colony, and by extension, to the much- discussed question of identity in today’s instantly connected global world. Having himself in 2019 suffered an unexpected stroke (an illness that had killed his father), Rickford was motivated to further explore his family tree…This leads Rickford to discover a web of ancestral connections (African, East Indian, Amerindian, Scottish) that bear witness to Guyana’s diverse racial heritage. … in this memoir, Rickford invites us to sit with the unseen ancestors that inhabit his house of memory.From the Foreword by John Agard, author of Half-Caste, numerous other books of poetry, and winner of the 2012 Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry…it is Rickford’s humanity that shines through these pages, showing how diversity is one of the world’s most valuable resources, how diversity arises from the chances and challenges of ordinary people’s lives, and how academic study, far from meaning elite confinement in an ivory tower, can show how knowledge is not only power but enrichment of everybody’s lives.Michael Mitchell, University of Warwick, UKDr. John Rickford is the heart of Black language and linguistics scholarship because of what you see and feel in Speaking My Soul from the very beginning: family and friends. I am glad John made his way from Guyana to the U.S. and developed his "Black complex" that led him to expand our knowledge and understanding of Black languages and Black lives. The homage to his award-winning book co-authored with his son only serves to enshrine him as the heart and soul for those of us who do (Black) language. And though he may have often been the "runt of the litter" in various instances in his life, he is definitely our rock. Thank you for speaking to my soul. Sonja L.

Book SynopsisCreating Spaces of Wellbeing and Belonging for Refugee and Asylum-Seeker Students: Skills and Strategies for Classroom Teachers outlines the ways educators can support positive educational and social outcomes for the most vulnerable children in their communities.Each chapter briefly outlines the relevant theory, expanding on this through vignettes from research and analytical reflection, helping the reader identify and apply the differentiated pedagogical understandings in their own classrooms. Providing insights from educators who are doing this work successfully across the globe, the book highlights the challenges and considerations that teachers face in multilingual, multicultural classroom environments where studentsâ common experience is trauma and loss and guides them towards effective practice.This book is intended for use in schools by school leaders and classroom teachers and by educational professionals engaged in supporting schools with students witTrade Review'Poverty, famine, lack of opportunity, climate change, and armed conflict among other factors have created the largest global diaspora that the world has ever seen. Millions of children with refugee and asylum seeking experiences, many who have experienced devasting and traumatic losses, currently attend schools in their new countries. This valuable book includes interviews with primary and secondary teachers in five English speaking countries who have worked successfully in educating these students, and shares the teachers’ reflections and practices that are linked to their success in educating these students. The authors connect the teachers’ stories to the theories and research that supports them. This book is a valuable resource for both teachers and the teacher educators who prepare them to teach.'Ken Zeichner, Boeing Professor of Teacher Education Emeritus, University of Washington, USA.'It is a shocking fact there are upwards of 84 million refugees and asylum seekers across the world. This ambitious, profound and humane book provides powerful evidence on the best ways of educating displaced children and young people. It looks through the lens of science and mathematics education alongside the vital need to focus on students' growth and personal development with a deep understanding about the roles and responsibilities of teachers. Refugees are not a burden but a massive asset to societies. As the book concludes, teaching is the profession that can make a difference in both securing society's inclusion of refugees and asylum seekers and in enabling society to understand that it is enriched by their diverse ways of knowing and understanding.'David Edwards, PhD, General Secretary, Education International.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Word from the Mother
Book SynopsisThis classic text by Geneva Smitherman, pioneering scholar of Black Talk, is a definitive statement on African American Language (AAL). Enriched by her inimitable writing style, the book outlines past debates on the speech of African Americans and provides a vision for the future. As global manifestations of AAL increase, she argues that we must broaden our conception of the language and its speakers, and further examine the implications of gender, age and class on AAL. Perhaps most of all we must appreciate the artistic and linguistic genius of AAL, from Hip Hop lyrics to the rhyme and rhetoric of the broader Black speech community. Smitherman explores AAL''s contribution to American English, includes a summary of expressions as a suggested linguistic core of AAL, and features cartoons that educate readers on the broader relationship between language, race, and racism. This classic edition features a new foreword by H. Samy Alim, celebrating Smitherman''s contiTrade Review"Many scholars, students and laypersons across the globe have an informed appreciation for the Language of Black America, because they got the Word from the Mother, Dr. Geneva Smitherman. Like no other, 'Dr. G,' the Signifying mother, captures the wit, humor, joy and critical edge that speaks forth from this language of history, culture and experience of the descendants of enslaved African people in these 'United' States of America. This is a classic text and precious gem from an OLE SKOOL Womanist scholar of the people that should be read by generations to come!"Elaine Richardson, Ohio State University, USA, author of Hiphop Literacies and African American Literacies"As Aretha Franklin is the Queen of Soul, 'Dr. G,' as she’s affectionately known, is the Queen of Black Language. She gave us the name 'African American Language' to express the expansiveness of language use in African American communities.

Taylor & Francis Ltd International Migration and Citizenship Today
This completely revised and updated textbook explores the moral, economic, political, and cultural dimensions of the movement of people across international borders. In style and substance, it is designed to spark thoughtful discussions and to challenge readers to draw their own conclusions to questions such as how should democracies balance the rights of immigrants with those of citizens? What exactly constitutes persecution and how should we define a refugee? How should democracies allocate citizenship? Can and should a distinction be made between voluntary and forced migration, and does one group of migrants deserve admission more than the other? What does a reasonable border policy look like? The rise of populism, the vote for Brexit, and the unprecedented flow of refugees around the world are all evidence that these questions remain highly salient, controversial, and unresolved. The content has been thoroughly updated to cover: Migration into Europe since 2015.

Taylor & Francis The Rebirth of Antisemitism in the 21st Century
Book SynopsisThe Rebirth of Antisemitism in the 21st Century is about the rise of antizionism and antisemitism in the first two decades of the 21st century, with a focus on the UK.It is written by the activist-intellectuals, both Jewish and not, who led the opposition to the campaign for an academic boycott of Israel. Their experiences convinced them that the boycott movement, and the antizionism upon which it was based, was fuelled by, and in turn fuelled, antisemitism. The book shows how the level of hostility towards Israel exceeded the hostility which is levelled against other states. And it shows how the quality of that hostility tended to resonate with antisemitic tropes, images and emotions. Antizionism positioned Israel as symbolic of everything that good people oppose, it made Palestinians into an abstract symbol of the oppressed, and it positioned most Jews as saboteurs of social âprogressâ.

Book SynopsisThis book interrogates the white savior industrial complex by exploring how America continues to present an imagined Africa as a space for its salvation in the 21st century.Through close readings of multiple mediated sites where Americans imagine Africa, White Saviorism and Popular Culture examines how an era of new media technologies is reshaping encounters between Africans and westerners in the 21st century, especially as Africans living and experiencing the consequences of western imaginings are also mobilizing the same mediated spaces. Kathryn Mathers emphasizes that the articulation of different forms of humanitarian engagement between America and Africa marks the necessity to interrogate the white savior industrial complex and the ways Africa is being asked to fulfill American needs as life in the United States becomes increasingly intolerable for Black Americans.

Book SynopsisRecognizing the radical disparity between migration/border policy and constitutional law inside these borders, Kathleen R. Arnold focuses on two main forms of migrant protest to explore the meaning of resistance in a sovereign context: self-harming protest by detainees and faith-based sanctuary of individuals scheduled for detention.This activism creates a democratic state of exception, interrupting the legal process, altering discretionary forms of sovereign power, and enacting rights not formally granted; these efforts go beyond the assertion of liberal rights or merely restoring the rule of law (even if these are also goals), challenging the warfare state while constituting a demos that is formally illegible.Migrant Protest and Democratic States of Exception will be of interest to scholars, migrant advocacy professionals (including INGO and IGO officers), graduate students, and advanced undergraduate students in a variety of fields from legal studies to forceTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsPrefaceIntroduction1 Understanding migration policy as foreign policy2 Self-harming protest3 Faith-based sanctuary: Creating spaces of democratic exception4 Sovereignty and counter-sovereignty: Is democratic sovereignty possible?Conclusion: States of democratic exception: migrant agency and resistance to the warfare stateIndex

Book SynopsisThis edited collection examines art resulting from cross-cultural interactions between Australian First Nations and non-Indigenous people, from the British invasion to today. Focusing on themes of collaboration and dialogue, the book includes two conversations between First Nations and non-Indigenous authors and an historianâs self-reflexive account of mediating between traditional owners and an international art auction house to repatriate art. There are studies of âreverse appropriationâ by early nineteenth-century Aboriginal carvers of tourist artefacts and the production of enigmatic toa. Cross-cultural dialogue is traced from the post-war period to âAboriginalismâ in design and the First Nations fashion industry of today. Transculturation, conceptualism, and collaboration are contextualised in the 1980s, a pivotal decade for the growth of collaborative First Nations exhibitions.

Awareness of this fact has been two centuries, and more, in the making. Indigenous art has been crucial to this development. It is a vivid evocation of a sovereign culture, an offering to fellow Australians and the wider world. Non-Indigenous artists, curators and critics have responded in a variety of ways. The complexities of these exchanges are explored in unprecedented depth and detail in this book. There are fascinating chapters on the experiences of first nations artists and curators, given in their own voices.

Emily R. Rutter highlights how these Black creators represent both performative White allyship and the potential for true White antiracist allyship, while also examining the reasons why Black creators utilize the white ally trope in the wider context of the film and television industries.

Previously published as A Critical Psychology of the Postcolonial, this new edition foregrounds the central role of Fanonâs psychology.Highlighting the contributions of anti-colonial authors to the theorization of racism and oppression, the book demonstrates the pertinence of postcolonial and decolonial thought for critical social psychology and psychoanalysis via an investigation of a series of key topics.

Book SynopsisJungian Reflections on Systemic Racism is a unique contribution of Jungian analysts and analysts-in-training who provide individual perspectives and approaches to promoting greater inclusivity in analytical theory, training and practice.This book examines issues of racism through intrapsychic, interpersonal, and archetypal lenses. Drawing from the specificity and ingenuity of Jungian psychoanalysis, the authors provide personal narratives, clinical vignettes, and theoretical perspectives that exemplify ways of comprehending and furthering the work of anti-racism. The editors assert that without deeper exploration of our theories, distinguishing between the theory itself and the theorist's unconscious biases, our clinical paradigms unconsciously align and thus perhaps promote an attitude of white supremacy in psychoanalytic training programs and practices. Without claiming to reflect the official view of any particular psychoanalytic community, it utilizes Jung's analTrade Review"Jungian Reflections on Systematic Racism: Members of an American Psychoanalytic Community on Training, Practice, and Inclusivity is a unique new book co-edited by Jungian Psychoanalysts Christopher Carter and Tiffany Houck-Loomis, both members of the Jungian Psychoanalytic Association (NY).

Carter and Tiffany Houck-Loomis' wonderful book, Jungian Reflections on Systemic Racism, provides a container for our potential encounters with Jung's relations to racialized cultural complexes that appear both in his writings and in analytic training institutes. The contributors find that some of C.G. Jung's writings appear to mirror colonial attitudes, a kind of Social Darwinism, even as Jung's writings offer a theory of individuation as a potential.

Taylor & Francis Mapping Inequality in an Era of Neoliberalism
Book SynopsisOffering a unique, comprehensive, and critical introduction to increasingly visible social inequalities, this textbook examines the political and economic causes and cultural consequences of a stratifying system that allocates material resources and human dignity on the basis of private profit and labor exploitation.Mapping Inequality in an Era of Neoliberalism foregrounds capitalism as the major source of the power relations in the United States, as a class system that serves the dominant vector of inequality and sets the parameters of social mobility. The book starts with racialized capitalist power and shows how this power is constituted in structures of opportunity and constraint.

Book SynopsisThis book traces 500 years of European-American colonization and racialized dominance, expanding our common assumptions about the ways racialization was used to build capitalism and the modern world-system.Professor Fenelon draws on personal experience and the agency of understudied Native (and African) resistance leaders, to weave a story too often hidden or distorted in the annals of the academy, that remains invisible at many universities and historical societies. The book identifies three epochs of racial constructions, colonialism, and capitalism that created the USA. Indigenous nations, the first to be racialized on a global scale, African peoples, enslaved and brought to the Americas, and European immigrants. It offers a sweeping analysis of the forces driving the invasion, occupation, and exploitation of Native America and the significance of labor in American history provided by Indigenous people, Africans, and immigrants, specifically the Irish.Indian, BlaTrade Review"The prosperity of the West was built on the blood and land of Indigenous peoples and the sweat of other people of color. In this magisterial book, Professor Fenelon skillfully weaves the long and thick story of how all Europeans and a myriad of their institutions participated in this process and benefitted from it. After this book, no European or their descendants can claim racial innocence. Bravo Professor Fenelon for this major contribution."Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Duke University, author of Racism Without Racists"The history of capital, as Professor James Fenelon shows in this urgent and timely new study, is the history and racism and genocide. The story is told with great clarity, passion, and abundance of historical evidence. At a time when global capitalism is throwing communities around the world into desperate struggles for survival and threatening our very existence, this masterful study is as much a powerful indictment of the past and the present of this out of control system. as it is a dire warning of the future to come if we do not come to terms with the legacy of racism, colonialism, and genocide in the Americas and beyond."William I.

He focuses on Indigenous, Black, and Irish people, offering a global story of people and systems. The book analyzes the impact of colonialism, racism, and Native responses--past and present—of systems designed to denigrate, distort, and exploit.

Critical Hospital Social Work Practice sheds light on the fast-paced, high pressure role of the hospital social worker. At a time of public concern over the state of the NHS and the needs of a growing older population, the hospital social worker's job is more important than ever. Yet, it is poorly understood and often overlooked by policy makers, managers and other professionals.Employing social theory to make sense of the contemporary context of health and social care, this book highlights the vital role played by social workers in planning complex hospital discharges.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Unequal Development and Labour in Brazil
Book SynopsisThis book is about unequal development and labour in Brazil, with particular reference to the economic and social development of the Northeast region, which has suffered persistent disadvantage. It combines a historical approach, which shows how economic, social and political institutions have been restructured over time, with an analysis of changes in the pattern of production, employment, unemployment and inequality up to the present day. It draws on detailed case studies to examine the connections between local and national production systems and critical labour market outcomes such as informality in employment, precarious work and disparities between genders, races and regions. The case of the Brazilian Northeast illustrates processes, relationships and policy debates that are important not only in Brazil but also elsewhere. The book will be of interest to teachers, researchers and students in economics, sociology, labour and development; public officials and policy-makers; the Trade ReviewThis book is the result of a long-term and thorough collaborative research project thatneeds to be praised. [...] I would recommend the reading of this book as a priority for all social scientistsinterested by the economic, social, and political situation of Brazil and its Northeast regionbut also, more widely, to all those working on development policies, regional inequalityissues and the determinant role of labour market and employment conditions to reducepoverty.Jean-Luc Maurer, Honorary Professor in Development Studies, The Graduate Institute of International andDevelopment Studies, GenevaThis fine book provides an assessment and analysis of the pattern of unequal development in Brazil, with specific reference to Brazil’s Northeast region, which has historically been significantly less developed and poorer than other regions. It is a fascinating, rich and insightful account of both the historical processes that contributed to the “persistent disadvantage” of this region compared with other parts of Brazil, as well as a careful and penetrating analysis of recent policies that either reduced this disadvantage (during the 2003–14 period) or once again led to increasing inequalities (in the period after 2016, in particular). Clearly, therefore, this book will be essential reading for anyone concerned with Brazil’s economic development and the living conditions of its people, especially in the Northeast. In fact, the book is much more than that and deserves an even wider audience, providing an object lesson in how to study inequality, both horizontal and vertical. The thoughtful political economy approach and the recognition of the intermingling of different forces are both admirable.Jayati Ghosh, Professor of Economics, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USATable of ContentsList of map and graphs.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Politics of Silence Voice and the InBetween
Book SynopsisThe Politics of Silence, Voice and the In-Between: Exploring Gender, Race and Insecurity from the Margins seeks to dismantle the deficit discourses generated through research about people as agency-less and, by extension, objects of study.The book argues that, regardless of marginalisation, people create spaces of liminality where they seek control over their lives by navigating the structures that exclude them. Challenging the false binary of silence as violence and voice as power, the book introduces the idea of an in-between liminal space' which is created by people to navigate conditions of oppression and move towards a politically stable and inclusive world.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of gender studies, international development, peace and conflict studies, politics and international relations, sociology and media studies. It will be an important resource for courses incorporating gender, feminist and postcolonial perspectTable of ContentsForeword Introduction: Theorising Liminal Spaces of Silence, Voice and the ‘In-Between’ During Political Instability, Precarity and Violence Part 1: Silence, Voice and the In-Between 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Patrolling the Homeland
Book SynopsisPatrolling the Homeland explores the tension surrounding the militarization of national borders through the perspective of US militia volunteers. Amidst a humanitarian crisis in which more than 7,800 people have lost their lives attempting to cross the border, US militias patrol the deserts along the Mexican border in camouflage, armed with assault rifles and night-vision goggles to protect the US. How and why US border militias conduct their activities is paramount to understanding similar movements, ideologies, and rhetoric around the world that oppose the movement of refugees and support the closing or restriction of international and regional borders.Based on extensive and engaging ethnography, Patrolling the Homeland explores not how people strive to be moral but how they maintain their self-perception as already and always moral individuals in spite of evidence to the contrary. This book signifies a creative and unique addition to morality and ethics Trade Review"This book is a unique study based upon ethnography in a very difficult area to secure access. It would not only be of interest to sociology/social studies related to immigration and border related studies but also criminology courses looking at policing in the broadest way." – Mark Button, University of Portsmouth"If one wants to understand the complexity of living in our contemporary world, then look no further than this book. John Parsons study of border militias in the United States offers a unique entree into the larger issues we all confront today. This is one of the most ethnographically and theoretically significant works in the anthropology of ethics that I have read in a long time." – Jarrett Zigon, University of Virginia.Table of ContentsPatrolling the Homeland - Volunteer Border Militias and the Power of Moral Assemblages 1.

Taylor & Francis Middle Eastern Diasporas and Political
Book SynopsisThis edited book explores the development and reconfiguration of Middle Eastern diasporic communities in the West in the context of increased political turmoil, civil war, new authoritarianism, and severe constraints on media in the Middle East.Taking an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating political and intercultural communication, the contributors investigate the rationale for diasporic politics, as well as the role of the transnational media in shaping diasporic political mobilization. This analysis of the media, situated within specific case studies, encompassing Afghani, Armenian, Bahraini, Egyptian, Lebanese, Syrian, Tunisian, and Turkish diasporic communities, reveals the variegated ways it influences diasporic politics and facilitates political action, as well as its influence on democratic actors residing in the Middle East. These new insights into Middle Eastern diasporas, political communication, and political mobilization are based on developments in the MiddTrade Review"This is an important book that fills a gap in the literature about the role of communication in facilitating diasporas’ political participation in their countries of origin, host societies, and global politics. The book provides insightful analysis of the way diaspora communities use media to build transnational connections, based on fresh data collected among diaspora groups in Europe and the USA. The well-rounded analysis in each chapter heightens the book’s relevance and contribution."Noha Mellor, Professor of Media, University of Sharjah, UAE"This book is a must-read for those interested in the relationship between the Middle East, diaspora communities, and media post-2011. Its insightful analysis, drawn from media content analysis and interviews, fills a critical gap in our understanding of these complex relationships. The thought-provoking case studies shed light on media's impact on shaping and strengthening connections between communities, particularly diaspora communities based in Western countries. The comprehensive insights into the utilization of digital media for political action and collective mobilization make this book a valuable and necessary contribution to the discourse on the Middle East and its diaspora communities."Tourya Guaaybess, European University Centre, Université de Lorraine, CREMTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Spiralling of the Securitisation of Migration
Book SynopsisThis book investigates how migration has been transformed into a security threat in Europe. It argues that this process has taken place through a self-fulfilling spiralling process, which involves different actors and their specific narratives, practices and policies. The book examines how situations stemming from the so-called migration crisis' in the European Union (EU) have been dealt with by governments and non-governmental organisations. It also considers how actors treating migration as an ordinary phenomenon rather than a threat and sharing inclusive narratives can create the conditions for decelerating and eventually stopping securitisation processes. Some chapters examine the spiralling of the securitisation of migration in depth, by analysing increases in securitisation, as well as cases characterised by resistance. Others focus on examining the consequences of socially constructing migration as a crisis for the EU's relations with third countries. In sum, this book shows Table of Contents1. Introduction— The spiralling of the securitisation of migration in the EU: from the management of a ‘crisis’ to a governance of human mobility? 2. From Mobility Partnerships to Migration Compacts: security implications of EU- Jordan relations and the informalization of migration governance 3. The ‘refugee crisis’ and its transformative impact on EU- Western Balkans relations 4. People as security risks: the framing of migration in the UK security- development nexus 5.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Hidden in White Sight
Book SynopsisArtificial Intelligence was meant to be the great social equalizer that helps promote fairness by removing human bias from the equation, but is this true? Given that the policing and judicial systems can display human bias, this book explores how the technology they use can also reflect these prejudices.From healthcare services to social scoring in exams, to applying for and getting loans, AI outcomes often restrict those most in need of these services. Through personal stories from an esteemed Black Data Scientist and AI expert, this book attempts to demystify the algorithmic black box.AI pervades all aspects of modern society and affects everyone within it, yet its internal biases are rarely confronted. This book advises readers on what they can do to fight against it, including the introduction of a proposed AI Bill of Rights, whilst also providing specific recommendations for AI developers and technologists. https://hiddeninwhitesight.com/ Trade Review"An excellent book…is every day life, practical, visionary, and opens unique thoughts and ways to solving pervasive daily problems."--Antonio Smith Sr., Technologist, Serial Entrepreneur, Leader, Author, Inventor, Mentor, Activist"This book a must read. It can be used to educate those in the impacted communities, the developers and companies on the issues, and any interested party. It emphasizes the urgent need to address them now. If not, this country – and our global society – may sustain some of our systemic racial structures.

This is a must-read for any person of color, but perhaps more important for the white community to read to begin to empathize with the challenges of the black community…Remember AI is just math and math is not intrinsically biased or hurtful, the math learns from the data that enshrines all the bad, hateful, and harmful decisions of the white community in the past.
