University College Dublin Press Studies on the Germans
Book SynopsisStudies on the Germans, Volume 11 of the Collected Works, was first published in German in 1989, exactly 50 years after Elias' most famous work, On the Process of Civilisation. The essays in the book were written independently of each other over three decades. In this new edition, Elias' original English text of the extremely important essay 'The breakdown of civilisation' is published for the first time. Other essays include those on duelling and its wider social significance, as well as on nationalism, civilisation and violence, and post-war terrorism in the Federal Republic of Germany. All the essays have been newly annotated by the editors, especially to make clear many historical references that Elias, unrealistically, assumed his readers would understand without further explanation.Table of ContentsNorbert Elias, 1897-1990; Note on the text; Introduction; Civilisation and informalisation: changes in European standards of behaviour in the twentieth century; Honour, duelling and membership of the imperial ruling class: being judged worthy to give satisfaction; A digression on nationalism; Civilisation and violence: on the state's monopoly of physical force and its breaking; The breakdown of civilisation; Terrorism in the Federal Republic of Germany: expression of a conflict between generations; Thoughts on the Federal Republic; APPENDICES: I The German aristocratic code and 'proof by ancestry'; II On the interpretation of Mozart's scatological remarks; III Why I began to study the problem of 'civilisation'; IV On the relative independence of the high nobility from the imperial court; V Sieyes, the Third Estate, and changing feelings of identity; VI Machiavelli's policy prescriptions; VII Nationalism and middle-class morality in Victorian Britain; VIII Conflicts trigger aggression; IX On the ethos of the Wilhelmine bourgeoisie; X Pro-war literature during the Weimar Republic (Ernst Junger); XI On the character of conflicts in the early Weimar Republic; XII Conditions for the attainment of the domestic and foreign goals of the old elite; XIII The decay of the state monopoly of force in the Weimar Republic; XIV The stab in the back; XV Lucifer upon the ruins of the world; XVI The meaning of the word Reich - excerpt from the Fischerlexikon; XVII An empire dies; XVIII The awareness of powerlessness - note added in 1984; XIX Marxism and terrorism: a terrorist's explanation; XX George Orwell, 'England Your England'; Textual variants; Bibliography; Index.

BenBella Books In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and
Book SynopsisA lot of people have made up their minds about Rachel Dolezal. But none of them know her real story. In June 2015, the media "outed" Rachel Dolezal as a white woman who had knowingly been "passing" as Black. When asked if she were African American during an interview about the hate crimes directed at her and her family, she hesitated before ending the interview and walking away. Some interpreted her reluctance to respond and hasty departure as dishonesty, while others assumed she lacked a reasonable explanation for the almost unprecedented way she identified herself. What determines your race? Is it your DNA? The community in which you were raised? The way others see you or the way you see yourself? With In Full Color, Rachel Dolezal describes the path that led her from being a child of white evangelical parents to an NAACP chapter president and respected educator and activist who identifies as Black. Along the way, she recounts the deep emotional bond she formed with her four adopted Black siblings, the sense of belonging she felt while living in Black communities in Jackson, Mississippi, and Washington, DC, and the experiences that have shaped her along the way.Trade Review"Finally, Rachel Dolezal in her own voice and words shares her intriguing account and path of conscious self-definition, embodied in a life of activism... Rachel forces us all to question what we have come to accept until now." --Bishop Clyde N.S. Ramalaine, author of Preach a Storm, Live a Tornado "Rachel Dolezal's early life memoir is not simply a narrative of radical activism... It serves to critique the cultural straightjacket of traditionalist white 'Protestant work ethic' society. At this moment of alt-right reactionism, it punctures the fake nostalgia for an imagined pre-multiculturalism era of supposed purity and authenticity." --Gavin Lewis, Black British writer and academic

Rutgers University Press The First Fifteen: How Asian American Women
Book SynopsisIn 1998, an Asian woman first joined the ranks of federal judges with lifetime appointments. It took ten years for the second Asian woman to be appointed. Since then, however, over a dozen more Asian women have received lifetime federal judicial appointments. This book tells the stories of the first fifteen. In the process, it recounts remarkable tales of Asian women overcoming adversity and achieving the American dream, despite being the daughters of a Chinese garment worker, Japanese Americans held in internment camps during World War II, Vietnamese refugees, and penniless Indian immigrants. Yet The First Fifteen also explores how far Asian Americans and women still have to go before the federal judiciary reflects America as a whole. In a candid series of interviews, these judges reflect upon the personal and professional experiences that led them to this distinguished position, as well as the nerve-wracking political process of being nominated and confirmed for an Article III judgeship. By sharing their diverse stories, The First Fifteen paints a nuanced portrait of how Asian American women are beginning to have a voice in determining American justice.Trade Review"The history and stories captured by Susan Oki Mollway not only preserve an important history of Asian American women in the federal judiciary, but also hopefully encourage more Asian American and other women to put themselves forward for nomination by demystifying the process. The book explores the fascinating back stories of these amazing women beyond their official bios." -- Karen K. Narasaki * civil and human rights leader and former Commissioner on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights *“At a time when the importance of having federal judges with diverse life experiences and perspectives never has been more apparent, Susan Oki Mollway’s accounting of the paths followed by our nation’s first fifteen Asian American and Pacific Islander women judges is especially illuminating. In granular detail, it describes the attributes, talents and circumstances that enabled each of its subjects to overcome barriers and become a leader in the federal judiciary.” -- Hon. Jeremy Fogel (ret) * Executive Director, Berkeley Judicial Institute, Berkeley Law School and Former Director, Federal Judicial Center *“The First Fifteen shares the powerful narratives of the first Asian American women to become Article III judges, with a focus on their pathways to the federal bench. Through meticulous and thoughtful analysis, Susan Oki Mollway goes far beyond biography to also suggest common background and character traits, reflect on diversity in the judiciary, and recognize the external forces that contributed to their success. The First Fifteen should be required reading for everyone interested in federal courts, issues of diversity, gender studies, and Asian Americans.” -- Meera Deo * Professor of Law, Southwestern Law School, and author of Unequal Profession: Race and Gender in Legal Academia *"Interview: Judge Susan Oki Mollway (’20) on her Duke Law thesis becoming a book" * Duke Law: Bolch Judicial Institute *"The history and stories captured by Susan Oki Mollway not only preserve an important history of Asian American women in the federal judiciary, but also hopefully encourage more Asian American and other women to put themselves forward for nomination by demystifying the process.
