Book SynopsisThis book presents a critical and empirically informed examination of Islamophobia and related issues of racism and nationalism in Germany today, with particular attention to the East/West distinction. The authors, representing several disciplines such as anthropology, sociology, and media and literary studies, situate the topic in the global and German context of the 2015-16 migration crisis and its aftermath, and of the ongoing transformations seen in the postsocialist regions of the European Union.Since the 2015-16 refugee crisis, illiberal leaders and parties within Europe have instrumentalized Islamophobia in an attempt to dislodge the traditional political elites. Strikingly, such illiberal movements have been most successful in the formerly socialist areas of the EU. This is mirrored within Germany itself, where political formations with an Islamophobic agenda remain more popular in the East than in the West.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Racial Equity COVID19 and Public Policy
Book SynopsisRacial Equity, COVID-19, and Public Policy: The Triple Pandemic focuses on the health, economic, and justice impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on racial equity. The book does not simply document the problems made worse by the pandemic, but it provides historical context for issues that rose to the surface in new ways, the existing inequities revealed during COVID-19, as well as policy responses to those issues. The volume is distinguished in its focus on the implications for racial equity through an examination of both existing public policy and new ideas for change.The chapters in this volume demonstrate the ways in which this period of American history and politics is unique, most notably in the convergence of major threats to public health, economic livelihood, and access to justice. This triple pandemic will be felt in the coming years and will continue to unfold, depending upon the adequacy of the contemporary response. This edited volume is designed to provide tTrade Review“A thought provoking gem that stimulates and invigorates debate about the triple pandemic. In addition, this book helps other states by giving them a road map to develop a research and policy agendas to reduce instances of injustices.” - George E.

It is a great collection of essays on various dimensions of keeping a focus on racial equity across a range of issues from evictions to higher education. Regrettably, COVID is unlikely to be our last big shock to a fragile social infrastructure. This may prove a useful handbook for that next shock." - William E.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Jungian Reflections on Systemic Racism
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). The brilliant uniqueness of this book is its' stellar light shone on the darkness of the racialized aspects of Jungian training that is seen in print. Bravo! For the courage of the book's authors. This book belongs on the shelf of every psychoanalyst in training and every professional in the field of Psychology"Dr. Fanny Brewster, Jungian Analyst, Professor at Pacifica Graduate Instittue, and author of The Racial Complex: A Jungian Perspective on Culture and Race (Routledge, 2019)"Christopher J. 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. Reflecting upon Jung, this book's contributors make space and give voice to their encounters with the unconcious, exemplifying ways of working with our own racialized complexes"Samuel Kimbles, PhD, author of Intergenerational Complexes in Analytical Psychology: The Suffering of Ghosts (Routledge, 2021)"Jungian Reflections on Systemic Racism is a hugely significant and original volume. Based on experiences in Jungian analysis and institutional life, but going beyond that community to embrace all approaches to psychotherapy, it offers a demonstration of how to divest our profession from its role in systemic- and casual- racism. With great frankness, the authors consider individual attitudes, responsibilities, and roles. This is the basis on which they seek to reframe approaches, teachings, and writings on ethnic, cultural and social dimensions of experience in therapy and society"Andrew Samuels, author of The Political Psyche (Routledge, 2015) and A New Therapy for Politics?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Critical Hospital Social Work Practice
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. It provides an in-depth account of the activities of a typical hospital social work team in the UK, drawn from rigorous ethnographic fieldwork, and contrasts this with research evidence on hospital social work practices around the world. The author points towards exciting new directions for health-related social work and social work's potential to develop critical gerontological practice.This b

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 Race in Sweden
Book SynopsisRace in Sweden is an introduction to, and a critical investigation of, the Swedish relationship to race in the post-war and contemporary eras. This relationship is fundamentally shaped by an ideology of colourblindness, with any kind of race talk being taboo in public discourse and everyday language use, and in practice forbidden in official and institutional language.A study of a country which was until recently strikingly white but has become extremely diverse, yet where the legacy of Swedish whiteness co-exists with a radical, colourblind, antiracist ideology, Race in Sweden will appeal to scholars across the social sciences and humanities with interests in race and ethnicity, whiteness and Nordic studies.Chapters 2 and 3 of this book are freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

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.

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.

Book SynopsisDrawing on original research, this book looks at what sport can tell us about the social processes, patterns and outcomes of forced migration and the ''refugee crisis''.Adopting a systems theory framework and examining different sport disciplines, performance levels and settings, it represents a significant contribution to our understanding of one of the most urgent social issues facing the modern world. The book explores four key aspects of sport's intersection with forced migration. Firstly, it looks at how the media covers sport in relation to the ''refugee crisis'', specifically coverage of refugee elite athletes. Secondly, it examines the adaptation of sport organisations to the ''refugee crisis'', including the culture, programmes and structures that promote or obstruct sport for refugees. Thirdly, the book looks at sport in refugee sites, and how sport can be used as therapy, an escape or empowerment for refugees but also how it can reinforce the divisions between stafTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Class War or Race War
Book SynopsisClass War or Race War is more than an anti-thesis of the master narrative regarding the Soviet state antisemitism. Kende not only refutes the originally anti-Communist myth of the systemic nature of (state) socialism, but tries to re-, and deconstruct, the origins of this myth.With intensive use of historical documents, memoirs and the related historiography, the book attempts to make historical sense from the myth it intends to refute. Kende goes beyond the contemporary perceptions of the Jewish question and antisemitism, and with close reading of original documents, reconstructs the real frontlines of the Soviet society of the 1940s, which were not constructed along identity-political lines. The book reinvests the long-forgotten understanding of social classes in an allegedly classless and monolithic society.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sociology and the Holocaust
Book SynopsisFor some time the conventional wisdom in the interdisciplinary field of Holocaust studies is that sociologists have neglected this subject matter, but this is not really the case. In fact, there has been substantial sociological work on the Holocaust, although this scholarship has often been ignored or neglected including in the discipline of sociology itself. Sociology and the Holocaust brings this scholarly tradition to light, and in doing so offers a comprehensive synthesis of the vast historical and social science literature on the before, during, and after of the Holocausta tour d'horizon from an explicitly sociological perspective. As such, the aim of the book is not simply to describe the chronology of events that culminated in the deaths of6 million Jews but to draw upon sociology's theoretical toolkit to understand these events and the ongoing legacy of the Holocaust sociologically.Trade Review“Berger’s work will play a significant role in any future investigation of the Holocaust from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Readers of this book will realize how lacking the new field of Holocaust Studies is without the contribution of sociology.” - Dr. Shay Pilnik, Director, Emil A. and Jenny Fish Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Yeshiva University"In the context of explaining the Holocaust, Berger attempts to bring sociology back in. He succeeds admirably by discussing the relevance of the sociological classical theorists Marx, Durkheim, and Weber. For example, he addresses Weber’s thought on bureaucracy in the context of the organization of the Nazi killing apparatus. His analysis includes collective memory of the historical events and their victims – highly recommended."- Lutz Kaelber, Associate Professor of Sociology at University of Vermont, Faculty Committee of the Carolyn and Leonard Miller Center for Holocaust StudiesTable of ContentsPreface 1 Personal and Professional Roots A Second Generation Perspective Terms of the Inquiry The Indifference of a Discipline 2 On the Shoulders of Giants Sociologists of the 1930s and 1940s The Trifocal Lens of Classical Theory A General Theory and Case Study of Structure and Agency 3 Antisemitism and Pseudoscientific Racism The Development of Christian Antisemitism The Confluence of Antisemitism and Racism Nazi Eugenics and the Medicalization of Genocide 4 The Class Composition and Economics of Nazism Nazi Party Membership and Election Studies Economic Exclusion, Aryanization, and Mass Theft Nazi and Corporate Enterprises 5 The Nazi State, Bureaucracy, and Response of the Jews The Inner Circle of the Nazi State Nazi Cultural Organizations From the Nuremberg Laws to the Final Solution Ghettoization Open-Air Shootings and Concentration Camps 6 The Response of the Allies The Prewar Period The Wartime Period The Immediate Postwar Period 7 National Collective Memories of the Holocaust The Federal Republic of Germany Israel The United States Poland 8 It Is Happening Here The New Authoritarianism The Question of Fascism The White Power and Patriot Movements The Radicalization of the Republican Party Concluding Reflections on Contemporary Antisemitism References Index

But what happens to that form in a world where guilt and innocence are not easily assigned?Return to the Scene of the Crime takes place on the trope of an investigator returning to the post-colony on a quest for knowledge. In tandem with solving the case, they must also grapple with the complexities of their origins. Kamil Naicker shows how five authors defy generic expectations to illustrate the complexities of personal identity, transitional justice, and civil violence in the post-colonial world.

Taylor & Francis Elevating Humanity via Africana Womanism
Book SynopsisElevating Humanity via Africana Womanism is a short, but powerful book, advocating synergy via unity/collectivity as a panacea for all societal ills. It discusses the Africana Womanism theory - an authentic family centered concept for all women of African descent - as a grid upon which to erect the private and public personae of all positive Africana people. Within the context of our cultural and historical matrix, it opens with defining the paradigm, while promoting the importance of prioritizing race, class and gender, the triple plight of Black women. A workable strategy for ensuring equality for all, it closes on a note of love and spirituality, while embracing the special connection between Africana men and women, the 2-sided human coin.This introduction logically and convincingly speaks truth to power about who we, Black women are, beginning, in Part One, with naming and defining ourselves, with the foreknowledge of the seminal role of our male counterparts.

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 Diasporas and Homeland Conflicts A Comparative
Book SynopsisAs violent conflicts become increasingly intra-state rather than inter-state, international migration has rendered them increasingly transnational, as protagonists from each side find themselves in new countries of residence. In spite of leaving their homeland, the grievances and grudges that existed between them are not forgotten and can be passed to the next generation. This book explores the extension of homeland conflicts into transnational space amongst diaspora groups, with particular attention to the interactions between second-generation migrants. Comparative in approach, Diasporas and Homeland Conflicts focuses on the tensions that exist between Kurdish and Turkish populations in Sweden and Germany, examining the effects of hostland policies and politics on the construction, shaping or elimination of homeland conflicts. Drawing on extensive interview material with members of diasporic communities, this book sheds fresh light on the influences exercised on conflict dynamics by state policies on migrant incorporation and multiculturalism, as well as structures of migrant organizations. As such, it will be of interest to scholars of sociology, political science and international studies with interests in migration and diaspora, integration and transnational conflict.Trade Review’Bahar Baser has written an admirable book of great significance to the study of transnational politics and the diffusion of conflict dynamics. Her carefully researched study of Turkish and Kurdish communities in Sweden and Germany provides a rich context to investigate how conflicts are imported from civil wars in the homeland. Students of comparative politics and globalization should read this account to understand how transnational processes and actors increasingly shape political outcomes in both homelands and host countries.’ Terrence Lyons, George Mason University, USA ’Bahar Baser has produced a wonderful book, which successfully combines rigorous research with searing human stories from the Kurdish/Turkish case. In the burgeoning literature in migration studies, this book should be regarded as being an indispensable addition for anyone interested in the intersections between diasporas and conflict, including students, practitioners - and hopefully some policy makers too.’ Feargal Cochrane, University of Kent, UK ’Based on extensive interviews and field research, this book makes an important critical contribution to the study of diasporas and imported conflicts. Baser’s comparative approach brilliantly reveals how opportunity structures in the host country help shape the political mobilization of diaspora groups. It should be read by students of Swedish and German politics, Kurdish politics, ethnic conflicts, and diaspora studies alike!’ Paul T. Levin, Stockholm University, Sweden 'Baser sheds new light on diaspora politics by investigating how domestic conflicts are brought into new geographies as a result of migration and how these contentions endure over generations. Looking into the diffusion of what she describes as the low-scale civil war in Turkey, the author takes on the conversion of the Kurdish/Turkish problem into domestic controversies in Sweden and Germany, two host countries to Kurdish and Turkish migrants.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Contemporary British Identity
Book SynopsisAgainst the background of an increasingly diverse British society, this book traces the evolution of British identity in the twentieth century. Debates exploring the nature of Britishness and multiculturalism are here deconstructed through a linguistic lens, which considers the role played by the English language in shaping Britain''s national identity. Within this context, two significant historical events are considered: the expansionism of nineteenth century British Empire, and the subsequent rise of the United States to the position of world superpower. In charting the development of British nationhood over time, the book identifies three contrasting public narratives, each reflecting society''s perceptions of the identity question at particular points in time: a discourse of laissez-faire at the turn of the century; a discourse of multiculturalism in the ensuing decades; and a discourse of integration during the closing years. The book raises fundamental questions about who we areTable of ContentsContents: Foreword; Preface; Part 1 Language and Identity: Introduction; English language colonisation, de-colonisation and globalisation; Ethnic linguistic minorities.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Cultural Politics of Colorblind TV Casting
Book SynopsisThis book fills a significant gap in the critical conversation on race in media by extending interrogations of racial colorblindness in American television to the industrial practices that shape what we see on screen. Specifically, it frames the practice of colorblind casting as a potent lens for examining the interdependence of 21st century post-racial politics and popular culture. Applying a production as culture' approach to a series of casting case studies from American primetime dramatic television, including ABC's Grey's Anatomy and The CW's The Vampire Diaries, Kristen Warner complicates our understanding of the cultural processes that inform casting and expounds the aesthetic and pragmatic industrial viewpoints that perpetuate limiting or downright exclusionary hiring norms. She also examines the material effects of actors of color who knowingly participate in this system and justify their limited roles as a consequence of employment, and finally speTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Intersectionality
Book SynopsisIntersectionality: Foundations and Frontiers is an accessible, primary source-driven exploration of intersectionality in sociology, psychology, women's and gender studies, and related fields. The book maps the origins of the concept, particularly in Black feminist thought, opens the discourse to challenges and applications across disciplines and outside academia, and explores the leading edges of scholarship to reveal important new directions for inquiry and activism. Charting the development of intersectionality as an intellectual and political movement, Patrick R. Grzanka brings together in one text both foundational readings and emerging classics. The completely revised and expanded second edition includes 17 new readings, including an original essay by Lisa Bowleg on the urgency of intersectionality in contemporary politics.Trade ReviewIntersectionality: Foundations and Frontiers (2019) provides a reliable and thorough review of how intersectionality theory is enacted in its multiple conceptions. It encourages both students and scholars of feminist theory alike to question how they intend to use the theory in their own work and activism. Teresa Frasca and Stephanie A. Shields in Psychology of Women Quarterly (2020)The range of both the topics addressed and the (inter)disciplinary institutional locations of contributing scholars speaks to the capaciousness of intersectionality (as theory, method, practice)—that is, its usefulness for addressing a range of issues across academic fields… Grzanka’s superb editing and translating of complicated theoretical ideas into a digestible format is a significant intellectual contribution, one that will be particularly useful for introductory courses on difference, marginalization, and oppression. Carly Thompsen in Hypatia (2019)Patrick Grzanka’s Intersectionality: Foundations and Frontiers is a breathtakingly interdisciplinary engagement with intersectionality’s intellectual, political, and institutional itineraries. It does justice to intersectionality’s multiple lives in Left politics, in the contemporary US university, in black feminist and women of color feminist theories, and it captures the term’s histories, critical aspirations, and political desires, always with an attention to intersectionality’s complexities. This is a book that does justice to the complex life of intersectionality, and that treats the term’s foundational texts and contemporary debates with the deepest forms of care and generosity. Jennifer Christine Nash, Associate Professor, African American Studies and Gender and Sexuality Studies, Northwestern UniversityPatrick Grzanka has delivered the new definitive reader on intersectionality! More expansive and inclusive in scope, it maps intersectionality’s movement across time and space. An outstanding resource and teaching tool. Jyoti Puri, Professor, Sociology, Simmons CollegeThis is a wonderfully comprehensive reader on intersectionality that showcases the field's multi-faceted histories, its diversity of voices, its range of sites, and its wealth of insights. Tracking classic as well as contemporary contributions, the book shows the ongoing significance and necessity of intersectionality.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Contested Ideas of Regionalism in Asia
Book SynopsisDeepening regionalism in Asia demands new leadership. Strong elites who are committed to a supranational identity are a minimum requirement of successful regionalism. Regional leaders are increasingly seen as a new set of leaders in Europe. Currently, Asian regional leaders largely come from the diplomacy community, or trade and economic sectors. Yet further regionalization demands a new type of leadership from civil society and citizens. In this context it is important to cultivate new regional leadership through the development of regional citizenship. This book examines contested ideas of regionalism in Asia with a particular focus on two competing ideas of pan-Asianism and Pacificism. It also identifies a new trend and contestation, the fundamental shift from a civilization understanding of regionalism to a technocratic and functional understanding of regionalism in the form of regulatory regionalism. It also examines the other contested imaginations of regionalism in AsiTrade Review'He’s novelty in addressing the Asian regionalism hybrid approaches provides a versatile way of dissecting and analysing the diversity of ideas and values that exist across Asia.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Changing Face of Korean Cinema
Book SynopsisThe rapid development of Korean cinema during the decades of the 1960s and 2000s reveals a dynamic cinematic history which runs parallel to the nation's political, social, economic and cultural transformation during these formative periods.This book examines the ways in which South Korean cinema has undergone a transformation from an antiquated local industry in the 1960s into a thriving international cinema in the 21st century. It investigates the circumstances that allowed these two eras to emerge as creative watersheds, and demonstrates the forces behind Korea's positioning of itself as an important contributor to regional and global culture, and especially its interplay with Japan, Greater China, and the United States. Beginning with an explanation of the understudied operations of the film industry during its 1960s take-off, it then offers insight into the challenges that producers, directors, and policy makers faced in the 1970s and 1980s during the most volatile part oTrade Review'This volume makes a valuable supplement to the existing scholarship on the Korean film industry...

Taylor & Francis Ltd Got Solidarity
Book SynopsisThe 21st Century in the United States continues to be marked by persistent disparities between members of different classes, races, genders, and sexual orientations. Influencers of this society seem bent on polarizing citizens along their diverse identities, often blaming those already disadvantaged for the nation's apparent plights. Elite white men still benefit from a political, economic, and social hegemony and some ardently resist an egalitarian society. Preserving American democracy rests in the hands of young Americans committed to equity and social justice. In Got Solidarity?, Jörg Vianden reports the results from the Straight White College Men Project, a nationwide qualitative study of how heterosexual white college men experience or perceive campus and community diversity issues. In college, few white men tend to engage in majors, discussions, or courses on diversity, inclusion, equity, or social justice. Indeed, many white men say that they haveTrade ReviewJörg Vianden offers a rare in-depth study of young straight white men, a study about and for them. Revisiting issues of diversity and inclusion assessed by others, but in more depth, he finds their segregated upbringing creates narrow white-male-framed perspectives that disengage them from understanding and challenging societal oppressions. He goes beyond problematizing to offer proposals for raising their equity consciousnesses, improving campus climates, and fostering social justice advocacy and change.Joe Feagin, Distinguished Professor, Texas A&M University, and author of The White Racial Frame (Routledge) and Racist America (Routledge)In an era when divisiveness reigns and individuals with privilege are feeling increasingly embolden to perpetrate micro and macroaggressions, Got Solidarity? is a timely and important book. Vianden invites straight white men into the social justice conversation and encourages them to take responsibility for acting in solidarity with oppressed communities. Vianden argues that it is essential for white men researchers to do their "part to disrupt white supremacy, patriarchy, and heteronormativity." With this book, Vianden has done just that. Got Solidarity is a must read for not only straight white men, but also college educators, activists, and peers of all races, genders, and sexualities who could use a little solidarity in their quest for social justice.Annemarie Vaccaro, Professor and Program Director, University of Rhode Island It’s not likely the title of this book will inspire most white college men to read it. Which is precisely why the work is so important. Drawing on the lived experiences of today’s undergraduates, Vianden persuasively explains why educators are duty-bound to focus on loosening the chains of socialization that perpetuate inequities while advancing efforts to promote social justice. George D. Kuh, Chancellor’s Professor Emeritus of Higher Education, Indiana UniversityScholars have been writing about white cisgender men and asking what’s wrong with them. Vianden turns his investigative gaze both inward and outward to study white cisgender men and illuminates critical historical, contextual and intersectional subjectivities to tell a story for men. This important book invites educators to more effectively engage students from privileged backgrounds in discussion about power and oppression. It also provides guidance for moving beyond the shame and blame game toward building the kind of solidarity necessary to more forcefully fight for social justice.Tracy Davis, Professor and Director of the College Student Personnel Program, Western Illinois UniversityEvery straight white man would benefit greatly from reading this important book. Campuses would be safer and more equitable for women, people of color, and LGBTQ persons if straight white men did what Vianden thoughtfully advocates in this text.Shaun R.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Class Struggle in Latin America
Book SynopsisThe Class Struggle in Latin America: Making History Today analyses the political and economic dynamics of development in Latin America through the lens of class struggle. Focusing in particular on Peru, Paraguay, Chile, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela, the book identifies how the shifts and changing dynamics of the class struggle have impacted on the rise, demise and resurgence of neo-liberal regimes in Latin America. This innovative book offers a unique perspective on the evolving dynamics of class struggle, engaging both the destructive forces of capitalist development and those seeking to consolidate the system and preserve the status quo, alongside the efforts of popular resistance concerned with the destructive ravages of capitalism on humankind, society and the global environment.Using theoretical observations based on empirical and historical case studies, this book argues that the class struggle remains intrinsically linked to the march of caTrade Review"This is a very important book. Without economic reductionism Petras and Veltmeyer expose the astonishing level of greed, exploitation and inequality, associated with the world capitalist system. They also provide a sharp and much-needed class analysis of the contradictions of both capitalism and imperialism, and the propensity towards crisis that has assumed global proportions and undermined the foundations of the system as well as generating powerful forces of resistance and class warfare." – John Saxe-Fernandez, Professor of Latin American Studies, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México; author of inter alia, Crisis e imperialismo, La energía en México. Situación y alternativas, Economic Imperialism in Mexico: The Operations of the World Bank in our Country."The particular value of this timely book is that it provides a critical perspective on the destructive impacts of a world capitalist system in crisis. It not only addresses the worldwide dynamics of capitalist development, but also the forces of resistance generated by these dynamics as well as proposals for alternative futures advanced within both the popular sector and academe. It is an analytical tool of vital interest to both academic researchers and students within the broad field of international development studies, political economy and sociology." – Richard L Harris, Professor Emeritus of Global Studies at California State University, Monterey Bay. Managing Editor, Journal of Developing Societies and Director of the Transpacific Project."This timely book superbly analyzes in class terms US interventionism, the faltering of Latin America's progressive reforms, right-wing comebacks for neoliberalism in Brazil, Argentina, and elsewhere, and the combined anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist class struggle in Venezuela. Theoretically and politically acute, it is a must acquisition for libraries, journalists, academics, and activists." — James Cockcroft, Honorary Editor Latin American Perspectives, USA"This book is a lively, engaging and lucid analysis of the diverse practices of the class struggles taking place in multiple sites by indigenous peoples, unemployed workers, landless peasants, local communities and students. It powerfully illuminates the demise of the ‘pink tide’ as well as the rise of, and turn to, the right; always persuasively stressing the centrality of class struggle.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Race in Psychoanalysis
Book SynopsisRace in Psychoanalysis analyzes the often-unrecognized racism in psychoanalysis by examining how the colonialist discourse of late nineteenth-century anthropology made its way into Freud's foundational texts, where it has remained and continues to exert a hidden influence. Recent racial violence, particularly in the US, has made many realize that academic and professional disciplines, as well as social and political institutions, need to be re-examined for the racial biases they may contain. Psychoanalysis is no exception.When Freud applied his insights to the history of the psyche and of civilization, he made liberal use of the anthropology of his time, which was steeped in colonial, racist thought. Although it has often been assumed that this usage was confined to his non-clinical works, this book argues that through the pivotal concept of primitivity, it fed back into his theories of the psyche and of clinical technique as well.Celia Brickman Trade Review"Celia Brickman’s masterpiece, Race In Psychoanalysis, is one of only a handful of books that I would describe as having profoundly changed the way I think about Freud and the development of psychoanalysis...Brickman’s book will remain a classic and generations of analysts will need to study it to understand and reconceptualize the most fundamental assumptions and tenets of psychoanalysis..."-from the foreword by Lewis Aron, Ph.D., Director, New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis."Brickman’s remarkably innovative work turns the lens of post-colonial theory on the unconscious racial assumptions of psychoanalysis, offering a new and radical take on the central tension in Freud’s thoughts between valorizing and undermining the idea of the "civilized" world.

Book SynopsisThe study of early China has been radically transformed over the past fifty years by archaeological discoveries, including both textual and non-textual artefacts. Excavations of settlements and tombs have demonstrated that most people did not lead their lives in accordance with ritual canons, while previously unknown documents have shown that most received histories were written retrospectively by victors and present a correspondingly anachronistic perspective. This handbook provides an authoritative survey of the major periods of Chinese history from the Neolithic era to the fall of the Latter Han Empire and the end of antiquity (AD 220). It is the first volume to include not only a comprehensive review of political history but also detailed treatments of topics that transcend particular historical periods, such as: Warfare and political thought Cities and agriculture Language and art Medicine and mathematics ProviTable of ContentsIntroduction: What Is Early Chinese History?, Paul R.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Ethnic Penalty
Book SynopsisPopulations of visible ethnic minorities have steadily increased over the past few decades in immigrant-receptive societies. While a complex calculus of push and pull factors has motivated this increase, one of the main impetuses for this migration has been the search for employment, better wages and a higher standard of living. It is therefore not surprising that the educational attainments of the first generation and beyond have achieved convergence with, or exceeded the non-ethnic minority cohort. These outcomes may suggest a greater propensity for visible ethnic minorities to attain labour market success and to fully integrate within the community. However, the narrative derived from statistical analysis, interviews and participant observation suggest an uneasiness boldly to claim this as the most convincing conclusion at this juncture. The Ethnic Penalty argues that a penalty has impeded the occupational success of ethnic minorities during the job search, hiring and promotion proTrade Review'The Ethnic Penalty is a compelling study that explores ethnicity and difference in a contemporary multicultural state.

Taylor & Francis Sor Juana InÃs de la Cruz and the Gender Politics
Book SynopsisEach of the book's five chapters evokes a colonial Mexican cultural and intellectual sphere: the library, anatomy and medicine, spirituality, classical learning, and publishing and printing. Using an array of literary texts and historical documents and alongside secondary historical and critical materials, the author Stephanie Kirk demonstrates how Sor Juana used her poetry and other works to inscribe herself within the discourses associated with these cultural institutions and discursive spheres and thus challenge the male exclusivity of their precepts and precincts. Kirk illustrates how Sor Juana subverted the masculine character of erudition, writing herself into an all-male community of scholars. From there, Sor Juana clearly questions the gender politics at play in her exclusion, and undermines what seems to be the inextricable link previously forged between masculinity and institutional knowledge.

Taylor & Francis Ethnic Diversity and Social Cohesion
Book SynopsisExploring the debate within social sciences on the consequences of ethnic diversity for social cohesion and the production of public goods, this book draws on extensive survey data from Germany to engage with questions surrounding the relationship between ethnic diversity and issues such as welfare provision and the erosion of public trust and civic engagement in Europe. It moves away from the question of whether there is in fact a universal correlation between ethnic diversity and social cohesion in order to focus on the reasons for which people's reciprocity and trust might be reduced in more ethnically diverse areas. Drawing attention to the importance of peoples' perceptions of diversity in explaining levels of social cohesion, Ethnic Diversity and Social Cohesion shows how specific types of perceived diversity can help explain the reasons for which ethnic diversity is associated with declines in social cohesion, and the contexts and conditions in which this occurs.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Politics of Social Ties
Book SynopsisAfter forced migration to a country where immigrants form an ethnic majority, why do some individuals support exclusivist and nationalist political parties while others do not? Based on extensive interviews and an original survey of 1,200 local Serbs and ethnic Serbian refugees fleeing violent conflict in Bosnia and Croatia, The Politics of Social Ties argues that those immigrants who form close interpersonal networks with others who share their experiences, such as the loss of family, friends, and home, in addition to the memory of ethnic violence from past wars, are more likely to vote for nationalist parties. Any political mobilization occurring within these interpersonal networks is not strategic, rather, individuals engage in political discussion with people who have a greater capacity for mutual empathy over the course of discussing other daily concerns. This book adds the dimension of ethnic identity to the analysis of individual political behavior, without treating ethnic grouTrade Review’Mila Dragojevi provides a detailed and thorough analysis of the ways Serbian refugees from Bosnia and Croatia integrated into political life in Serbia proper. But the work is much more than an impressive case study. Dragojevi’s research is path-breaking in specifying how refugees form interpersonal networks and how, once formed, these networks sustain social identities and affect political behaviors.’ Roger Petersen, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA ’This is a superb micro-level analysis of why nationalist parties are more successful at attracting the support of some co-ethnics and not others. Based on an original examination of ethnic Serbs who migrated to Serbia from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina after 1991, Mila Dragojevi sheds light on the role of social ties within immigrant communities in shaping both their political attitudes and voting behavior. Her finding that immigrants are more likely to hold extreme beliefs and support extreme political parties when they have low levels of social incorporation has significant theoretical and policy implications. This book is a must read for both students of ethnic politics and policymakers in multi-ethnic states.’ Pauline Jones Luong, University of Michigan, USA ’This beautifully written and expertly crafted research on the political behavior of ethnically defined refugees (escaping discrimination as a minority to an ethnic homeland) destroys an entire literature on the relation between ethnic identity and conflict. Read this book for the unexpected experience such migrants face, the new refugee identities they establish in response, and why, and when, nationalist political parties benefit - not only in her primary case of Serbs and Serbia but also in Croatia, Algeria, and Israel.’ Susan L.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Ashgate Research Companion to Black Sociology
Book SynopsisThe Ashgate Research Companion to Black Sociology provides the most up to date exploration and analysis of research focused on Blacks in America. Beginning with an examination of the project of Black Sociology, it offers studies of recent events, including the Stand Your Ground' killing of Trayvon Martin, the impact of Hurricane Katrina on emerging adults, and efforts to change voting requirements that overwhelmingly affect Blacks, whilst engaging with questions of sexuality and family life, incarceration, health, educational outcomes and racial wage disparities.Inspired by W.E.B. Du Bois's charge of engaging in objective research that has a positive impact on society, and organised around the themes of Social Inequities, Blacks and Education, Blacks and Health and Future Directions, this timely volume brings together the latest interdisciplinary research to offer a broad overview of the issues currently faced by Blacks in United States.A timely, significant resTrade ReviewAs we deepen into the 21st century, there is abundant evidence that Black Sociology is the original American sociology, despite the dominant narratives of the discipline. The contents of Wright II and Wallace’s Ashgate Research Companion to Black Sociology show that not only has Black Sociology continued since its late 19th century beginnings, but, that it is thriving and continuously pushing a rigorous and impactful sociology across every substantive area of the discipline.’ David L. Brunsma, Virginia Tech, USA‘In this necessary and expansive volume, Earl Wright II and Edward V. Wallace build upon the great work and legacy of W.E.B. Du Bois. Drawing on Du Bois’s sociological scholarship and agenda as the leader of the Atlanta Sociological Laboratory, this impressive book successfully brings together a wonderful array of scholars to deepen our understanding and appreciation for Black Sociology.’ Marcus Anthony Hunter, UCLA, USA and author of Black Citymakers: How the Philadelphia Negro Changed Urban America‘The Ashgate Research Companion to Black Sociology is a must-read for anyone teaching introductory sociology, race relations or any related subject. The editors have done a wonderful job of finding young creative scholars to cover contemporary topics such as parental incarceration and its effects on children, stand-your-ground laws, and the effects of job stratification on the working class to name a few. The clustering of the topics along with the origins of Black or Du Boisian Sociology is extremely relevant to the societal changes currently taking place around the world.’ Obie Clayton, Clark Atlanta University, USATable of ContentsPart I Black Sociology: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Racialisation of Disorder in Twentieth
Book SynopsisThis book develops the concept of racialisation. It argues that a full understanding of racialized discourse must pay attention to both the particular local circumstances in which they appear, and well-established themes which have unfolded over time. An important aspect of the study is the examination of other discourses with which racialized ideas have co-joined, reflecting the way in which notions of 'race' are socially constructed. The final part of the book returns to debates of the 1980’s and argues that the racialisation of unrest in that decade was closely intertwined with conservative perspectives which sought to deny socio-economic causes in favour of explanations based upon the supposed cultural or personal proclivities of those involved.Trade Review’This is a valuable book for anyone interested in understanding both the history and contemporary forms of disorder related to race. It provides a rounded analysis of an issue that is central to the study of political and social change in British society.’ John Solomos, University of Southampton, UK ’...will be of use first and foremost to students of race and ethnicity...solid and evenly balanced...’ Ethnic conflictTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: law, disorder and the nation; Marxism, postmodernism and the racialization problematic; Liverpool, 1919: ...to make an honest bread; Political disorder in 1930s Britain: coloured shirts and tin trumpets; Nottingham and Notting Hill 1958-59: ostentatious blacks and rowdy whites; Broadwater Farm, October 1985: this is not England; Conclusion; Bibliography.
