The University of Chicago Press Bette Davis Black and White
Book SynopsisBette Davis’s career becomes a vehicle for a deep examination of American race relations.Trade Review"A prescient book about white people who mean well but fall short . . . There is no other book in which the author takes herself as the object of reception study and, in so doing, exposes the lived aspect of the US race and class divide. The reader who is initially drawn to this book because of a fascination with stardom will find a deeply insightful, impeccably researched study of American culture."--Jane Gaines, author of Pink-Slipped: What Happened to Women in the Silent Film Industries? "A unique take on the work of Bette Davis, Bette Davis Black and White is important not only for extending an understanding of the actor's racial politics, attitudes and practices, but also for raising the profile of several important, but largely unknown, Black supporting actors. This book will appeal strongly to scholars of race, twentieth-century American history, film audiences, and fan studies."--Martin Shingler, author of Star Studies: A Critical GuideTable of ContentsHistorical Note Chapter 1 Introduction: Black and White Chapter 2 Little Foxes and Little Brown Wrens Chapter 3 The Poetics of Color in Jezebel Chapter 4 Melodramas of Blood in In This Our Life Chapter 5 The Whiteness of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Book SynopsisTrade Review"Nava introduces an intervention into the excesses and shortcomings of two of the major theological movements of the 20th century: Latin American liberation theology and Hans Urs von Balthasar’s theology of beauty, the via pulchritudinis. He notes how liberation theology underdetermined beauty as a suspicious distraction from social justice, while the theology of beauty, in liturgy and beyond, overdetermined beauty through a fixed cultural lens. . . . This erudition and range make the book’s most compelling case for itself." * America Magazine *"Nava explores the connections between religion and hip-hop, revealing the overlooked theological roots of the genre and its potential to change the world." * US Catholic Magazine, "What We're Reading" *“Using examples from current hip-hop artists, as well as popular artists from the past, Nava passionately describes the blending of religion, politics, culture, and aesthetics in hip-hop music.” * Reading Religion *"A stylistically playful yet materially serious examination of public theologies done from and for the margins.

Woodbine, author of 'Black Gods of the Asphalt: Religion, Hip-Hop, and Street Basketball'“Nava’s writing pulses with passion—electric, vivid, joyful, and oh so readable. By immersing the reader in the music, Nava offers the most compelling lens available on exactly how hip-hop created a moral aesthetic that moves people to change the world.

Du Bois'“In this compelling work, Nava reads the radically subversive ‘street scriptures’ of hip-hop as a distinctive form of urban liberation theology.

The University of Chicago Press Sound Experiments The Music of the AACM
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewPaul Steinbeck’s magisterial Sound Experiments [is] a look at the AACM through “a set of ten compositions, improvisations, and recordings.” Sound Experiments contains many transcriptions and technical descriptions, but Steinbeck is a fluid writer and there are stories to tell. -- Sasha Frere-Jones * Bookforum *"In this erudite but lively account, Steinbeck presents the first in-depth study of the AACM’s musicians and music as he traces the evolution of the group's innovative work over many decades. . . . An important addition to the jazz bookshelf." * Booklist *"[Steinbeck] gives a good account of the cultural, social, political, and economic contexts from which the music emerged, and is keenly aware of the racialised gatekeeping which has all too often kept AACM composers from getting their due. . . . Ultimately, the reader comes away with a greater appreciation of the AACM's achievements: Great Black Music, from Ancient to the Future." * The Wire *"Musical analysis dominates the text, but Steinbeck’s thoughtful writing makes the descriptions work on several levels: for a student, or anyone interested in learning about how the music works; for a non-musician who may breeze past the score excerpts but dig into the plain-speak breakdowns; or the attentive fan who can relate the structures discussed to stage dynamics they have witnessed." * New York City Jazz Record *"The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians has achieved worldwide recognition for its approaches to notated composition, improvisation, technology, and intermedia. Steinbeck’s extensive historical and methodological analysis of a wide range of AACM musical practices makes this book indispensable to an understanding of the leading role of Afrodiasporic experimentalism in the past, present, and future of new music." -- George Lewis"I really appreciate Paul Steinbeck’s scholarship in putting together Sound Experiments. I have always found him to be an engaging writer. I enjoy how he wrote about my compositions on my album Sound, as well as the different iterations of my composition Nonaah. He really dug deep!" -- Roscoe Mitchell"Steinbeck has written an excellent analysis of the works of composers-performers from the AACM. A clear and concise investigative text, it looks into many aspects involved in creating a work of musical art. His writing is creative and has an expressive use of language. I recommend his book to everyone." -- Wadada Leo Smith"One of the most significant avant-garde collectives of the twentieth century, the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) remains a powerful force in the early 21st century. In Paul Steinbeck, the AACM has found a chronicler and scholar of passion, erudition, and discipline, the very qualities that have made it such an enduring institution." -- Adam Shatz"Rather than a tour through AACM history, Sound Experiments serves as a deep dive into six of the organization’s seminal albums across the decades, which makes listening to the music while reading a whole new kind of experience. Be it Abrams’s ambitious Levels and Degrees of Light from 1968 or Mitchell’s 1977 solo-concert album Nonaah… Steinbeck makes an authoritative guide." * The Slowdown *"Before analyzing each work, Steinbeck traces its genesis in a detailed monograph, illustrating the context in which it was born and the biography of the protagonists. (...) The result is a seminal work on the AACM, the first of its kind." -- Angelo Leonardi * AllAboutJazz.com *"Steinbeck provides some musical notations and deeper analysis of the sounds from his perspective as a musicologist – very illuminating to us, as we tend to have much more of a visceral response to these records." * Dusty Groove *"Paul Steinbeck, Sound Experiments: The Music of the AACM (Chicago) — Musician and Washington University, St. Louis music professor Steinbeck provides a stimulating history of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) founded on Chicago’s South Side in 1965. He offers in-depth explorations of innovative performances by members of the organization, from Anthony Braxton’s Composition 76 to Wadada Leo Smith’s The Freedom Summers and Nicole Mitchell’s Mandorla Awakening II: Emerging Worlds. He demonstrates the ways these pieces contributed singular approaches to notation, instrumentation, and musical form, creating fresh sounds to contemporary music." -- Henry Carrigan * The Journal of Roots Music No Depression *“A Seminary Coop Notable Book of the Year” * / *“A Seminary Coop Notable Book of the Year” * / *"Paul Steinbeck, Sound Experiments: The Music of the AACM (Chicago) — Musician and Washington University, St. Louis music professor Steinbeck provides a stimulating history of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) founded on Chicago’s South Side in 1965.

Steinbeck continues the ongoing task of situating the work of the AACM within the history of experimental music and composition, while always making clear the myriad ways that this music sets itself apart.” * Musicworks *"The music of the AACM is certainly some of the most artistically challenging music ever recorded. Sound Experiments is therefore an invaluable companion for those looking to dip their toes into this fascinating discography, as well as a rich source of information for those looking to dive more deeply into the depths of musical analysis." -- Tom Spargo * All About Jazz *"Not only does this book provide a wonderful addition to jazz scholarship, but Steinbeck has demonstrated that these artists should be talked about right along with other leading figures of the avant-garde music scenes in the 1960s and beyond. This book could prove useful to many researchers outside of the jazz realm, such as composers, performers of experimental music, musicologists, and general fans of experimental music." * Music Reference Services Quarterly *"Not only does this book provide a wonderful addition to jazz scholarship, but Steinbeck has demonstrated that these artists should be talked about right along with other leading figures of the avant-garde music scenes in the 1960s and beyond.

University of Illinois Press Journalism and Jim Crow
Book SynopsisWinner of the American Historical Association's 2022 Eugenia M. Palmegiano Prize. White publishers and editors used their newspapers to build, nurture, and protect white supremacy across the South in the decades after the Civil War. At the same time, a vibrant Black press fought to disrupt these efforts and force the United States to live up to its democratic ideals. Journalism and Jim Crow centers the press as a crucial political actor shaping the rise of the Jim Crow South. The contributors explore the leading role of the white press in constructing an anti-democratic society by promoting and supporting not only lynching and convict labor but also coordinated campaigns of violence and fraud that disenfranchised Black voters. They also examine the Black press's parallel fight for a multiracial democracy of equality, justice, and opportunity for alla losing battle with tragic consequences for the American experiment. Original and revelatory, Journalism and Jim Crow opens up new ways oTrade Review"Advantaged by the journalistic backgrounds of its writers, the book horrifies as it explains the role of southern white newspapermen in ending Reconstruction, ushering in Jim Crow, and disguising it all in a narrative of 'The New South' . . . . The book dramatically shows the blood on the hands of the white southern press in lynching and then looks closely at the role of newspapers in spreading and resisting white supremacy in case studies of most southern states." --Black Perspectives"A powerful collection of essays exploring how white journalists helped created Jim Crow and how Black journalists fought for something better. . . . All parts of the book are grounded in relevant scholarship and polished for clarity." --Journal of Southern History"Journalism and Jim Crow is well-researched and, for an edited volume, remarkably consistent in quality. . . . The book convincingly supports its argument. Each chapter is filled with facts and insights that every journalist and student of journalism should know." --H-Net Reviews"The research and sourcing are rich, with sixty to one hundred citations per chapter. Historical events are placed in a 2020s context. Journalism and Jim Crow is a relevant read." --American Journalism"Assembling penetrating scholarship on the complex roles that newspapers and their personnel (editors, publishers, reporters) played in both establishing white supremacy in the postbellum South and in resisting its imposition, Journalism and Jim Crow offers much fresh insight based on original research. Together, the collected essays highlight the pivotal role of a set of actors (some of them prominent, many previously neglected) and institutions, making substantial contributions to scholarship on the origins of Jim Crow as well filling a major gap in journalism history and media studies."--Bruce J.

University of Illinois Press Flacos Legacy
Book SynopsisA combination of button accordion and bajo sexto, conjunto originated in the Texas-Mexico borderlands as a popular dance music and became a powerful form of regional identity. Today, listeners and musicians around the world have embraced the genre and the work of conjunto masters like Flaco Jiménez and Mingo Saldívar. Erin E. Bauer follows conjunto from its local origins through three processes of globalization--migration via media, hybridization, and appropriation--that boosted the music’s reach. As Bauer shows, conjunto’s encounter with globalizing forces raises fundamental questions. What is conjunto stylistically and socioculturally? Does context change how we categorize it? Do we consider the music to be conjunto based on its musical characteristics or due to its performance by Jiménez and other regional players? How do similar local genres like Tejano and norteño relate to ideas of categorization?

University of Illinois Press Building Sustainable Worlds
Book SynopsisLatina/o/x places exist as both tangible physical phenomena and gatherings created and maintained by creative cultural practices. In this collection, an interdisciplinary group of contributors critically examines the many ways that varied Latina/o/x communities cohere through cultural expression. Authors consider how our embodied experiences of place, together with our histories and knowledge, inform our imagination and reimagination of our surroundings in acts of placemaking. This placemaking often considers environmental sustainability as it helps to sustain communities in the face of xenophobia and racism through cultural expression ranging from festivals to zines to sanctuary movements. It emerges not only in specific locations but as movement within and between sites; not only as part of a built environment, but also as an aesthetic practice; and not only because of efforts by cultural, political, and institutional leaders, but through mass media and countless human interactions. Trade Review"Building Sustainable Worlds is a transdisciplinary tour de force of Latinx Studies scholarship that captures the vibrancy, resiliency, diversity, and idiosyncrasy of Latinx expressive culture in the Midwest! This wonderfully curated collection of essays serves as an outstanding contribution to the new scholarship on the Latinx Midwest."--Louis Mendoza, author of A Journey Around Our America: A Memoir on Cycling, Immigration, and the Latinoization of the U.S.

University of Washington Press Making Livable Worlds
Book SynopsisTrade Review"With memories and stories at the forefront, the book is a magisterial contribution to the discipline of anthropology." * North American Congress on Latin America *"For those designing undergraduate and graduate courses in Puerto Rican Studies, Latinx Studies, and Ethnic Studies and seeking readings that present innovative methodological and epistemological contributions, Hilda Lloréns’ Making Livable Worlds is highly recommended. The work invites spirited and engaging classroom discussions that promote expanded thinking in written work. Beyond the classroom, Lloréns’s methodology and nuanced treatment of too often simplified contested concepts make all-important contributions to these fields of study. Her serious attention to the daily work and interventions of Black and Afro-Puerto Rican women to make livable worlds in the here and now and for coming generations addresses gaping holes in environmental justice-minded Puerto Rican Studies, Latinx Studies, and Ethnic Studies" * Latinx Project, New York University *"The primary strength of Lloréns’s book rests in the intimacy that she brings to excavating the troubling environmental injustices Black Puerto Rican women have to live under even as they struggle against marginalization...Making Livable Worlds is a timely and necessary examination of the growing crisis in environmental justice and other cultural issues such as gender, race, and the effects of colonialism." * Lateral, Journal of the Cultural Studies Association *"Powerful and beautifully written, Making Livable Worlds opens an ecofeminist archive that invites researchers to extend this kind of study to other islands. It also provides inspiration on how to undertake this task with such methods as autoethnography, which will hopefully become more ingrained in the toolbox of young Caribbeanist scholars. One of the most important attributes of this work is that we hear through Lloréns myriad voices presented not as heroines or victims but as women making the best out of their imposed dispossession." * H-Environment *"Lloréns’ ambitious book skillfully weaves her personal and her family history with the histories of other Black Puerto Rican women in the coastal southeast part of Puerto Rico." * Latino Studies *"Scholars of social reproduction and the solidarity economy will find Lloréns’s case study useful for understanding how alternative economic logics develop and flourish under adversity." * H-Caribbean *"[P]rovides valuable insight on how capitalism, slavery, matriarchal dispossession, ecological crises, and colonization relate to Afro-Puerto Rican women’s lives, and models liberatory responses to these oppressive circumstances, empowering the reader to engage in further action toward similar goals of collective liberation." * Feminist Pedagogy *

By situated politics, the authors refer to various networks, spaces and territories, which are also constructed by the midwives. By politically situated, the authors refer to various intersections, unsettled relations and contexts in which Mexican midwives are positioned.

Taylor & Francis Psychoanalysis and Colonialism
Book SynopsisWithin this important and insightful book, Sally Swartz introduces readers to early entanglements of psychoanalytic theory with colonialism and how it has led to significant and long-lasting implications for psychoanalysis.Psychoanalysis and Colonialism is unique in drawing together a wide array of sources and a span of history from the beginnings of psychoanalysis to current theory and practice. The book explores ways in which Freudian theory incorporated the idea of the primitive into the centre of mapping the untamed territories of the unconscious, via notions of taming instinctual excess, civilizing the primitive and conquering and bringing order to wildness. The text describes the influences of colonialism on the thinking of Freud and Jung and goes on to describe anti-colonial voices, including Césaire and Mannoni, Memmi and Fanon, and their contribution to psychoanalytic theory. It concludes with thoughts on the challenges of decolonizing psychoanalysis.ThTrade Review'Within Psychoanalysis and Colonialism Sally Swartz offers her colleagues and all interested a perspective unique to one "seeing" our world from outside of a European or North American cultural context. As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist trained and practicing in Africa, though steeped in the ideas and practices coming from those colonizing cultures, Swartz offers a carefully crafted history of how the ideas and practices of our craft have been shaped and reinforce basic assumptions underlying the political ideas and actions constituting the history within which psychoanalysis was born and matured. This look back at our past and present is an invaluable tool for any considerations concerning the unfolding value that psychoanalysis might have for the new social/economic/political configurations in which we find ourselves embedded and carried along.'Dr Steven Knoblauch, Ph.D., Clinical Adjunct Associate Professor, Clinical Supervisor, New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, author of Bodies and Social Rhythms (2021)'In Psychoanalysis and Colonialism: A Contemporary Introduction, Sally Swartz offers a timely, sensitive and accessible account of psychoanalytic entanglements with colonialism as well as the touchstones that may guide a decolonial psychoanalysis.'Dr Wahbie Long, Director of the Child Guidance Clinic, University of Cape Town, author of Nation on the Couch: Inside South Africa's Mind (2021)Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Routledge Handbook of Latin American Security
Book SynopsisThis new Handbook is a comprehensive collection of cutting-edge essays on all aspects of Latin American Security by a mix of established and emerging scholars. The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Security identifies the key contemporary topics of research and debate, taking into account that the study of Latin America's comparative and international politics has undergone dramatic changes since the end of the Cold War, the return of democracy and the re-legitimization and re-armament of the military against the background of low-level uses of force short of war. Latin America's security issues have become an important topic in international relations and Latin American studies. This Handbook sets a rigorous agenda for future research and is organised into five key parts: The Evolution of Security in Latin America Theoretical Approaches to Security in Latin America Different ''Securities''<Trade Review'This ambitious, timely handbook is strongly recommended for graduate students and comparative and international relations scholars interested in Latin America and its regional and international relations.

Taylor & Francis Ltd European Encounters Migrants Migration and
Book SynopsisThis book reminds us of Europe''s multi-faceted history of expulsions, flight, and labour migration and the extent to which European history since 1945 is a history of migration. While immigration and ethnic plurality have often been divisive issues, encounters between Europeans and newcomers have also played an important part in the development of a European identity. The authors analyze questions of individual and collective identities, political responses to migration, and the way in which migrants and migratory movements have been represented, both by migrants themselves and their respective host societies. The book''s distinctive multi-disciplinary and international approach brings together experts from several fields including history, sociology, anthropology and political science. 'European Encounters' will serve as an invaluable tool for students of contemporary European history, migration, and ethnic identities.Trade Review’This interesting volume constitutes an important contribution to the still much neglected migration history of post war Europe. By including case studies from states at the margin as well as stressing the relevance of agency and gendered patterns, the chapters in this multifaceted and multilayered book will function as an empirical and conceptual stimulus for future research.’ Professor Leo Lucassen, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands ’European Encounters is a rich and ambitious history of migration and the migrant experience in Europe, which does not stick to the standard script. It covers many countries, east and west, and examines not only the history of migration since 1945, but problems of politics, ethnicity, identity, gender, and historical memory. Anyone who wants to know how migration has reshaped modern Europe should read this book.’ Professor James F. Hollifield, Southern Methodist University, USA ’This edited collection brings together new and interesting work on European migration...the breadth, range and scope of the analyses enhances our understanding of the diversity and richness of Europe’s migration experience. For this reason, the book is a welcome addition to the literature.’ Journal of Southern Europe and the Balkans ’In this important volume, Rainer Ohliger, Karen Schönwälder and Triadafilos Triadafilopoulos weave together a collection of essays that challenge dominant assumptions pervading the literature on post-World War II European migration...this is a significant collection of essays, and one that should occupy a prominent place on the shelves of serious migration scholars...a monumental volume that will likely reshape European migration scholarship in profound ways.’ Focaal: European Journal of AnthropologyTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: European encounters: Europe's migratory experiences, Karen Schönwälder, Rainer Ohliger and Triadafilos Triadafilopoulos.

Taylor & Francis The Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to
Book SynopsisThe Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Colonial Latin America and the Caribbean (1492-1898) brings together an international team of scholars to explore new interdisciplinary and comparative approaches for the study of colonialism. Using four overarching themes, the volume examines a wide array of critical issues, key texts, and figures that demonstrate the significance of Colonial Latin America and the Caribbean across national and regional traditions and historical periods. This invaluable resource will be of interest to students and scholars of Spanish and Latin American studies examining colonial Caribbean and Latin America at the intersection of cultural and historical studies; transatlantic, postcolonial and decolonial studies; and critical approaches to archives and materiality. This timely volume assesses the impact and legacy of colonialism and coloniality.Trade ReviewOne would have to look hard to find a better and more thorough, yet succinct, review of Colonial Studies in the U.S. than the one the editors of this volume provide. We are presented with a dynamic field full of tensions, contradictions—that is, alive—that have made it crucial for Latin American and Early Modern Studies, among others. From its inception to its recent connections to Latinx Studies, the writers deliver what the editors promise: a view into topics that have been the solid standard of the field, to new and promising areas. Who is an author under colonial conditions of production? What a theory of the frontiers says about colonialism? What if behind the standard language of the archive one finds Quechua, English and Muisca? To whom does this archive belong then? These pages remind us that even though we know much, we have still much to discover and that perhaps we might never know fully. The contributions to theoretical analysis are also important since, as the contributors show, the colonial field helps elucidate key concepts such as what is licit, what is an archive, extraction, extinction, the environment. Ivonne Del Valle, Associate Professor, UC BerkeleyTensed by imperial designs, colonial violence, nationalist teleologies, colonial Latin American and Caribbean Studies is a multifaceted site of cultural and political interpellations and interventions that has made this contentious field one of the most productive intellectual traditions of the Global South, producing a rich array of critical concepts for the decolonization of culture. Strategically organized in four overarching themes, The Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Colonial Latin America and the Caribbean (1492-1898) showcases the most progressive and innovative research in the field and draws the paths for an effective critical engagement with the traces of a colonial past that is far from settled.Luis Fernando Restrepo, University Professor, University of ArkansasTable of ContentsIntroduction: between colonialism and coloniality: colonial Latin American and Caribbean studies today PART I: Colonialism and Coloniality 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Migration Theory
Book SynopsisThe revised fourth edition of Migration Theory continues to offer a one-stop synthesis of contemporary thought on migration.Editors Caroline B. Brettell and James F. Hollifield remain committed to include coverage that is comparative and global in scope while enhancing similarities and differences between one academic field and the next. All chapters have been revised to highlight cutting-edge issues in the field of migration studies today. The fourth edition welcomes two new authors, Professors Marie Price and François Héran, to offer a fresh approach with their chapters on geography and demography, respectively.Designed for undergraduate and graduate courses in migration studies, a primary goal of the text is to assist instructors in guiding students who may have little background on migration, to understand important issues and the scientific debates. This ensures Migration Theory is a highly valuable guide not only to the perspectives of one''s oTrade Review"This latest edition of one of the essential texts in migration studies offers updated and expanded discussions of the state of the literature in the field’s constituent disciplines. The introductory and concluding chapters are testament to the rapid evolution of migration studies and take seriously the challenge posed by critical migration studies to the field’s mainstream. This is a must-read and will be an indispensable reference book for both new and established scholars of migration."Antje Ellermann, Professor, The University of British Columbia"This volume is a heroic and unique attempt to bridge disciplinary and conceptual boundaries in migration studies. Although different approaches and theories enrich the field, we need more agreement on the nature of the phenomenon we are trying to understand. ‘Talking across disciplines’ makes a persuasive case for structured comparisons, in time, space and scale and as such is a crucial intervention that helps us to accumulate knowledge in a more systematic, efficient and encompassing way."Leo Lucassen, Director of the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam, Professor in Global Labour and Migration History, Leiden University"Understanding migration requires insight into movement across geographies, economic drivers and impacts, change over time, social and cultural integration, as well as law and states’ power to enforce or open borders. Brettell and Hollifield bring together field experts and cogent syntheses to celebrate interdisciplinarity, highlighting how key questions, methods, and theoretical tool-kits can be complementary or stand apart. They seek to end such distances, and do a truly admirable job. Anyone interested in migration, whether a new or seasoned scholar, will learn from this impressive book."Irene Bloemraad, Faculty Director, University of California Berkeley"Now in its 4th edition, Migration Theory: Talking Across Disciplines has established itself has the indispensable guide to understanding how various disciplines approach the movement of people. While achieving a seamless unified theory across history, anthropology, sociology, demography, economics, political science, geography, and legal studies might be asking too much, especially given the significant range of approaches even within these disciplines, the goal is a laudable one. Brettell and Hollified provide scholars at all levels well-crafted summaries of scholarship in these various disciplines. In a field of study as broad as migration, this is a valuable resource when contemplating the "cutting edge" of current research, which will influence future research. Migration Theory is essential for scholars seeking to find their comparative advantage in the study of migration."Leo Chavez, Professor of Anthropology, University of California, IrvineTable of ContentsIntroduction.

Taylor & Francis The Routledge Handbook of Latin American
Book SynopsisThe Routledge Handbook of Latin American Development seeks to engage with comprehensive, contemporary, and critical theoretical debates on Latin American development. The volume draws on contributions from across the humanities and social sciences and, unlike earlier volumes of this kind, explicitly highlights the disruptions to the field being brought by a range of anti-capitalist, decolonial, feminist, and ontological intellectual contributions.The chapters consider in depth the harms and suffering caused by various oppressive forces, as well as the creative and often revolutionary ways in which ordinary Latin Americans resist, fight back, and work to construct development defined broadly as the struggle for a better and more dignified life. The book covers many key themes including development policy and practice; neoliberalism and its aftermath; the role played by social movements in cities and rural areas; the politics of water, oil, and other enviroTrade Review"The scope and ambition of this volume is truly impressive. Sensitive to the profound ambivalence and ambiguity of development, the editors have coordinated a fascinatingly agile and dexterous approach to the topic, full of robust critique and alternative perspectives. For students and scholars interested in the multi-scalar processes of change - social, cultural, economic, political, and environmental - that shape Latin America, this is an essential inter-disciplinary companion." - Peter Wade, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Manchester, UK"The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Development creates a profound and rich dialogue among cases that confronted and resignified notions of development not only from their critical decolonial, feminist, anti-capitalist and pluriversal perspectives but also by their interconnected multidisciplinary approaches. The editors carefully selected diverse texts that arise from local contexts and social dynamics (of indigenous, afro-descendant, peasants, migrants, urban collectivities) that bring forward new concepts of genders, sexualities, humans, non-humans, knowledges, justice and ways of living. They also include theoretical approaches and analysis that call for understanding the partial connections of social actors with economic, environmental, political and territorial socio-historical contexts in different scales, in order to open innovative critics, debates and perspectives around different notions of development." - Astrid Ulloa, Professor, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, ColombiaTable of ContentsLatin American development: Editors’ introduction PART I Debates and provocations 1.

Taylor & Francis Camus and Fanon on the Algerian Question
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to offer a systematic comparison of the philosophies of Albert Camus and Frantz Fanon. It shows how the ethical, political, and psychological outlooks of these two influential thinkers can further our understandings of how to bring about justice in the face of deep power imbalances.The author foregrounds the bloody Algerian War of Independence in his analysis of the philosophies of Camus and Fanon. Although neither supported French colonial occupation of Algeria, they held radically different views of the conflict. Fanon supported emancipation through violence, which the author argues has been uncritically romanticized. Camus, on the other hand, supported an ethics of moderation that shunned indiscriminate violence. The author argues that Camus has been unfairly accused of being an apologist for colonialism. Finally, the author draws out the common endorsement of humanist values that drive both Camusâ and Fanonâs thought.Camus and Fanon on thTrade Review"Even as the anti-colonialism that so much drove Fanon has become a powerful force in today’s world, so too do we seem, in recent times, to have been plunged back into what is almost a replay of the events of the 1930s and 1940s that so shaped Camus’ thinking. Algeria is the landscape in which the contrast between Camus and Fanon was largely played out historically and biographically; that contrast is now being played out, in broader terms, across the world. Tabensky’s ground-breaking, rigorous, and thoughtful book is thus a timely intervention in a past debate that nevertheless remains very much alive – a book for the present and for the future." Jeff Malpas, Emeritus Distinguished Professor, University of Tasmania, Australia "This book puts two significant writers, Camus and Fanon, in conversation for the first time. Tabensky moves us beyond superficial or anachronistic depictions to consider the options for social change in the face of entrenched colonial structures. These two would not, and did not, agree on much apart from the necessity of foreign and racial domination to disappear, but considering the two together allows us to see the options for resistance."

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Cultural Forms of Protest in Russia Routledge
Book SynopsisAlongside the Arab Spring, the 'Occupy' anti-capitalist movements in the West, and the events on the Maidan in Kiev, Russia has had its own protest movements, notably the political protests of 2011â12. As elsewhere in the world, these protests had unlikely origins, in Russiaâs case spearheaded by the 'creative class'. This book examines the protest movements in Russia. It discusses the artistic traditions from which the movements arose; explores the media, including the internet, film, novels, and fashion, through which the protesters have expressed themselves; and considers the outcome of the movements, including the new forms of nationalism, intellectualism, and feminism put forward. Overall, the book shows how the Russian protest movements have suggested new directions for Russian â and global â politics.

With that in mind, he turns his attention and ours to President Obama as the embodied nexus of both racism and racialism and our desire to move beyond both. This is not fast food, but a slow cooked meal with ideas that are fresh, deliciously rewarding and satisfying."Noliwe M.

With intelligence and eloquence, wit and wisdom, Paul Taylor has answered.

In this thoughtful, wide-ranging, and accessible meditation on the historical and normative significance of Obama, he pushes us to think more honestly about race, pragmatism, and empire at this unexpected moment when the most powerful political leader in the world is black."Tommie Shelby, Harvard University, USAThis short volume is heavily focused on racial and postcolonial theory not readily understood by general readers or most undergraduate students. It will mainly appeal to fellow academics who share Taylor’s philosophical and theoretical orientation.S. E.

Taylor & Francis Black British Intellectuals and Education
Book SynopsisAsk any moderately interested Briton to name a black intellectual and chances are the response will be an American name: Malcolm X or Barack Obama, Toni Morrison or Cornel West. Yet Britain has its own robust black intellectual traditions and its own master teachers, among them C.L.R. James, Claudia Jones, Ambalavaner Sivanandan, Stuart Hall and Paul Gilroy. However, while in the USA black public intellectuals are an embedded, if often embattled, feature of national life, black British thinkers remain routinely marginalized. Black British Intellectuals and Education counters this neglect by exploring histories of race, education and social justice through the work of black British public intellectuals: academics, educators and campaigners. The book provides a critical history of diverse currents in black British intellectual production, from the eighteenth century, through post-war migration and into the âpost-multiculturalâ present, focusing on the sometimes hidden impacts oTrade Review‘This informative monograph surveys the work of black intellectuals in Britain during a period of enormous cultural transformation. Warmington (Univ. of Birmingham, UK) records how issues of race intersected with Marxism, feminism, postmodernism, and post colonialism ... Warmington’s book reveals an often-hidden history of minority intellectuals ... Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students/faculty.' - D. L. LeMahieu, Lake Forest College, in CHOICE, December 2014‘The nature and function of intellectuals has been a central theme in progressive education and remains one of the defining features in writings on social movements. In this book, Paul Warmington joins the luminaries of Gramsci, Fanon, Foucault, and Said in documenting the role of intellectuals, this time within the particular history of Great Britain. The specificity of black British intellectual life captured here provides a powerful portrait of social suffering, generative interpretations of lived conditions, and freedom as both a practical and theoretical endeavor. Warmington is one of only few scholars who could have pulled off such an accomplishment. A book like this has the ability henceforth to set and define a field of study.’ - Professor Zeus Leonardo, University of California at Berkeley, USA‘Warmington provides a much-needed addition to our collective understanding of the politics of race – reminding us that race has been an arena of struggle and a focal point for organising against injustice, not just an occasion to profess identity or proclaim culture. This work will enable new generations to benefit from the important contributions of black radical intellectuals and, I wish and hope, reinvigorate that tradition for our own challenging times.’ - Professor Gargi Bhattacharyya, School of Law and Social Sciences, University of East London, UK‘This landmark study reveals the key role that black intellectuals have played, and continue to play, in shaping the British education system and wider cultural debates. Warmington’s extensive research documents the individuals and movements that have exerted a powerful, but often unrecognised, influence from the Eighteenth Century through to the present, and challenges conventional narratives by demonstrating that black British intellectuals have been a vital and compelling presence at the centre of some of the most important developments in educational theory and practice.’ - Professor David Gillborn, Centre for Research in Race and Education, University of Birmingham, UKTable of Contents1.

The University of Michigan Press Dialectical Imaginaries Materialist Approaches
Book SynopsisBrings together essays that analyse the effects of class conflict and capitalist ideology on contemporary works of US Latino/a literature. The editors argue that recent global events have compelled contemporary scholars to reexamine traditional interpretive models that centre on identity politics and an ethics of multiculturalism.Trade ReviewCompelling and provocative, this is an impressive and timely collection of essays. Although Marxist approaches have always had an important presence in Latino/a literary studies, this is the first collection that foregrounds such approaches to contemporary texts. The essays range over issues as diverse as mass incarceration, the privatization of public resources, residential segregation, waning state sovereignty, Chicana feminism, and new forms of class conflict. Dialectical Imaginaries will be an invaluable resource for scholars in the field, as well as scholars of other ethnic literatures and American literature more broadly."" - John Alba Cutler, Northwestern University""A sophisticated and stimulating book, one that is sure to have a significant impact on literary and cultural studies. . . . The essays dissolve stale debates about race/ethnicity versus class by demonstrating the intrinsic working-class-ness of much Latino/a writing, as well as the value of Marxist class analysis in relation to this body of texts."" - Barbara Foley, Rutgers University-Newark

University of California Press Unequal Childhoods
Book SynopsisClass does make a difference in the lives and futures of American children. Drawing on observations of black and white middle-class, working-class, and poor families, this title explores this fact, offering a picture of childhood. It focuses on the frenetic families managing their children's hectic schedules of 'leisure' activities.Trade Review“Lareau's work is well known among sociologists, but neglected by the popular media; . . . in books like Unequal Childhoods — Lareau has been able to capture the texture of inequality in America. She's described how radically child-rearing techniques in upper-middle-class homes differ from those in working-class and poor homes, and what this means for the prospects of the kids inside.” * New York Times *“This accessible ethnographic study offers valuable insights into contemporary family life in poor, working class and middle class American households. . . . A careful and interesting investigation of life in ‘the land of opportunity’ and the ‘land of inequality.’” * Publishers Weekly *"This is a great book, not only because of its powerful portrayal of class inequalities in the United Stats and its insightful analysis of the processes through which inequality is reproduced, but also because of its frank engagement with methodological and analytic dilemmas usually glossed over in academic texts. It merits a wide readership not only in the United States but also in Europe and would be of interest not only to academics but also to teachers and parents." * American Journal of Sociology *“Unequal Childhoods captures the social-science imagination just as Betty Friedan's 1963 best seller, The Feminine Mystique, had captured the public imagination in restating the arguments for feminism.” * Chronicle Of Higher Education *“This sensitive, well-balanced book is highly recommended for academic, special, and large public libraries.” * Library Journal *"While other studies allude to these class differences, especially in school contexts, this study takes readers even deeper into the lives of children than most. The result is a richer understanding of how cultural repertoires imparted to children vary by class in ways that entrench class inequality at early ages. . . . All in all, this is a thought-provoking book sure to become a classic for scholars working to understand how inequality is reproduced. In addition, its readability and clear expression of basic sociological ideas about social class, inequality, and family life make it ideal for use in undergraduate classes covering any of these topics." * Social Forces *"Does social class make a difference in how parents raise children? Annette Lareau answers this question with a resounding "yes" in this absorbing and thought-provoking book." * Contemporary Sociology *". . . a remarkable contribution . . . Through [Lareau's] work, we are persuaded that social class—and its reproductive potential—is embodied in the very complex, yet ordinary, cultural dimensions of our everyday lives. What now remains is for teachers of sociology to embrace this book, so that future generations of students might be inspired by Lareau's provocative cultural sociology." * Teaching Sociology *"At both its best and its worst, social-science research tells us what we already know. Annette Lareau’s new book is, however, quite different, and packed with insights into such matters as precisely how middle-class children acquire the habits of success and sense of the entitlement early. . . . as exciting to read as it is depressing in its implication." * Scotsman *". . . an excellent contribution to the growing literature in the sociology of childhood. Carefully researched and well written, it will make a great addition to courses on social inequality, children and youth, or the family." * Journal of Marriage and Family *"Lareau began her data collection for Unequal Childhoods in 1989, intensively observing twelve families between 1993 and 1995. The passage of time takes nothing away from this new edition, nor does it mitigate the impact or resonance of its findings. The book’s lasting contribution is Lareau’s conclusion that the childrearing patterns persist over time." * Canadian Journal of Sociology *Table of ContentsPreface to the Second Edition Acknowledgments 1.

University of California Press You Cant Stop the Revolution Community Disorder and Social Ties in PostFerguson America
Book SynopsisYou Can't Stop the Revolution is a vivid participant ethnography conducted from inside of Ferguson protests as the Black Lives Matter movement catapulted onto the global stage. Sociologist Andrea S. Boyles offers an everyday montage of protests, social ties, and empowerment that coalesced to safeguard black lives while igniting unprecedented twenty-first-century resistance. Focusing on neighborhood crime prevention and contentious black citizenpolice interactions in the context of preserving black lives, this book examines how black citizens work to combat disorder, crime, and police conflict. Boyles offers an insider's analysis of cities like Ferguson, where a climate of indifference leaves black neighborhoods vulnerable to conflict, where black lives are seemingly expendable, and where black citizens are held responsible for their own oppression. You Can't Stop the Revolution serves as a reminder that community empowerment is still possible in neighborhoods experiencing police brutalTrade Review"Thank you, Dr. Andrea Boyles, for humanizing and acknowledging the 'boots-on-the-ground' community leaders and protesters who in 2014 so righteously organized and vigorously mobilized, fueling a contagious determination." * Contemporary Sociology *"You Can’t Stop the Revolution breaks out of the well tread genre of books about police violence and Black Lives Matter and moves into a very provocative discussion of the nature of social order for oppressed communities." * Ethnic and Racial Studies *"Boyles’ account of post-Ferguson provides context with meticulous detail. . . . This book could serve as supplemental material for a graduate-level research methods course or graduate seminar courses focused on race and crime." * Criminal Justice Review * "One of the book’s many strengths is its engagement with the issue of policing. Boyles offers important insights into the relationship between Blacks and the police that are relevant outside of Ferguson." * American Journal of Sociology *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgments introduction 1.
