Book SynopsisHaving spent nearly a decade following the lives of formerly trafficked men and women, Denise Brennan recounts in close detail their flight from their abusers and their courageous efforts to rebuild their lives. Life Interrupted is a riveting account of life in and after trafficking and a forceful call for meaningful immigration and labor reform.Trade Review“Steering clear of lurid depictions of sexual slavery, Brennan has written a serious yet readable account of trafficking in the United States.” -- Karunesh Tuli * Foreword Reviews *“Life Interrupted is a must-read for those seeking to understand why immigration policies, US and otherwise, can prolong human misery. Bluntly confronting the risks and dangers all immigrants face when they must leave their homes in search of better lives, this admirable book is a major contribution to productive ways to rethink global immigration.” -- Lee Maril * Times Higher Education *"The very real people portrayed in Life Interrupted do shine brightly; their stories make it personal for us, the readers. We're reminded that these individuals are certainly not forgotten in the eyes of God, as much as we might long to stay unaware of them." -- D.L. Mayfield * Books & Culture *“[A] concise yet comprehensive account of trafficking in the US. . . . Bluntly confronting the risks and dangers all immigrants face when they must leave their homes in search of better lives, this admirable book is a major contribution to productive ways to rethink global immigration. Whether it is Mexican agricultural workers risking their lives by crossing a desert to find work, or Egyptians and Pakistanis crossing the Mediterranean in fragile boats, their lives dependent on rescue at sea by the Italian navy, suffering is omnipresent. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” -- W. T. Howard * Choice *"Whereas the term 'trafficking' is often assumed to mean sex trafficking, Brennan is concerned with the larger picture of trafficking into forced labor of all kinds—e.g., domestic, construction, agriculture or other low-wage jobs. She writes not of headline-making dramatic rescues but of the day-to-day lives of the formerly trafficked, those trying to rebuild their lives in the U.S. and make it their home. . . . A tough-to-read exposé of trafficking and its effects and an urgent call for changes in federal immigration policy and ineffectual labor laws." * Kirkus Reviews *“This book should appeal to anyone who wants to learn more about the devastating and long-lasting impact of human trafficking at both the global and individual/familial level from those who lived it, as well as the effectiveness of current immigration policies. . . . It is particularly valuable to those who (like me) work in service-providing professions that may encounter this vulnerable, yet resilient, population. I recommend it highly.” -- Stacie Dubay * Monthly Labor Review *“One of the most important sections of Brennan's book includes suggestions for action and ways to become involved in improving the lives of trafficked persons. . . . She demonstrates that a commitment to each individual is what it takes to help trafficked persons transcend poverty. These important findings are the result of studying real people who have left extreme situations, and assessing which factors made the difference between moving ahead or struggling forever.” -- Melissa Ditmore * Women's Review of Books *“[B]ringing rich ethnographic detail and compelling stories from survivors of trafficking, case workers, advocates, and others. She eschews any grand theoretical gestures in favor of rigorous but readable prose and has crafted a book that is at once a major academic contribution for specialists and also a text that should be required reading for public health workers, policymakers, NGO administrators, and undergraduate or graduate students interested in the practical applications of anthropology.” -- Gregory Mitchell * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *“Life Interrupted is an important book. Intensely researched and accessibly written, this ethnographically rich work is recommended for anyone concerned about human trafficking. Brennan masterfully connects the plight of victims of forced labor to larger questions about U.S. labor practices and immigration policies.” -- Amy Farrell * American Journal of Sociology *"Life interrupted will be of interest to anyone who wants to understand how the dark side of globalization plays out in the United States.... It is a very readable, powerful, and important book that deserves widespread attention." -- Steve Striffler * Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute *"Life Interrupted is a highly engaging book that will be of great interest to anyone interested in forced labor and human trafficking." -- Sverre Molland * International Migration Review *"Denise Brennan’s in situ empirical study of a well-defined, accurately counted, richly engaged subset of the principals in the human trafficking drama is a welcome addition to a growing body of knowledge that uses rigorous research to study a population that has been wrongly identified as 'unresearchable.'" -- Anthony Marcus * American Anthropologist *“Human trafficking and immigration scholars will find this well-researched book a useful addition to their libraries. Those interested in the effects of policy on efforts to assist trafficked persons and exploited workers, in post-trafficking experiences, or in post-trafficking service provision will find the book particularly valuable. This rich, compelling account of individuals rebuilding their lives after exploitation is affecting and succeeds in revealing a continuum of labor exploitation along which many workers in the U.S. fall.” -- Sandra C. Arch * Work and Occupations *“Life Interrupted will be of particular interest to those seeking an ethnographic perspective on the nuances and complexities of being officially classified as a victim of trafficking in the United States. ... Denise Brennan stages a powerful ethnographic critique of the idea that the anti-trafficking rubric and legal regime actually protect victims of trafficking.” -- Svati P.

Book SynopsisThe contributors to Citizenship in Question demonstrate that the line separating citizenship and noncitizenship is ambiguous and inconsistent. In case studies analyzing the legal barriers to citizenship rights in over twenty countries, the contributors show how states use citizenship requirements to police racial, ethnic, class, and religious difference.Trade Review"This is one of those books that you wish you could get everyone to read. ... For classes that focus on questions of global migration, political belonging and exclusion, and the powers of the State, this book is a useful resource. Rich in historical facts that help explain how we have reached a point where citizenship often overshadows humanity, Citizenship in Question will be a valuable addition for a required reading list or a personal library. Essential." -- M. Lecea * Choice *"[A] remarkable contribution that both adds to scholarship on citizenship and challenges some of the inherent assumptions that underpin citizenship studies. ...

Book SynopsisReckoning with one's role in perpetuating systematic inequality, Bruce Robbins examines the implications of a humanitarianism in which the prosperous are the both the cause and the beneficiaries of the abhorrent conditions they seek to remedy.Trade Review"In The Beneficiary, Bruce Robbins wants to make room for the note of guilt in our songs of gratitude. Who is a beneficiary? Robbins’s answer is that it is probably you. . . . Perhaps in the future tallying up the planetary cost of national happiness will become so painful we’ll give up that thought experiment altogether. But if Robbins has his way, we’ll not only still be thinking globally — we’ll live in a world that makes doing so tolerable." -- Christina Lupton * Los Angeles Review of Books *"The Beneficiary succeeds brilliantly in focusing its readers on the urgencies of our time." -- Michael Rothberg * Contemporary Literature *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Introduction 1 1.

There are many explanations for the dramatic rise of human rights in the second half of the twentieth century. They range from the naïve to the cynical. Few theoretical accounts manage to be as shrewd and yet at the same time as stirring.” -- James Loeffler * Journal of Human Rights Practice *“Lefebvre's learned and original book creates a new itinerary within Western political and ethical thought.... Human Rights and the Care of the Self presents a valuable, thought-provoking argument that could enable educators and students to articulate their various commitments to human rights in complex and historically informed ways.” -- Sarah Winter * symploke *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Introduction 1 1.

Book SynopsisThe Architecture of Concepts presents a new history of ideas. Using digital archives to track the historical formation of the concept of human rights across the Anglophone eighteenth century, it argues that a better understanding of the architecture of the concept will enable us to deliver on its universal aspirations.Trade Review"This is the most detailed study to date of the process by which the idea of the "rights of man" entered popular discourse during the epoch of the American and French revolutions and subsequently became central to modern political thinking. Methodologically sophisticated and analytically innovative, it presents a penetrating and persuasive account of the linguistic transformations through which rights concepts emerged, and their relationship to related concepts, such as duty and humanity. The masterful use of digital archives makes possible for the first time disclosure of a much wider range of meanings within rights discourses, and thus reveals more clearly how rights concepts were formed and developed. This is a valuable addition to the growing literature on the emergence of the language of human rights." -- -Gregory Claeys Royal Holloway University of London "This new book by Peter de Bolla, professor of cultural history and aesthetics at the University of Cambridge, is a major contribution to historical methodology as well as to Enlightenment studies and our understanding of how modern universal human rights arose." -Critical Inquiry, The University of Chicago "The Architecture of Concepts surprises us at every turn. It uses the latest data bases and search engines to upend the standard history of the concept of human rights, which exploded much later in the eighteenth century than usually supposed. It digs into American history by revealing the First Continental Congress as a crucial site of conceptual innovation, and reveals Thomas Paine's Rights of Man has having dispersed the phrase more than the conception. At every turn, de Bolla forges an entirely original theory of concepts as culturally active forces--not merely definitions or ideas, but instruments of thought and action." -- -John Bender Stanford University "In 'The Architecture of Concepts; The Historical Formation of Human Rights',Peter de Bolla develops a distinctive method for the purposes of cultural history. He particularly aims to identify concepts-and in particular the concept of human rights-in terms of their cultural availability." -Restoration and Eighteenth Century, Studies in English Literature "De Bolla's concern for contemporary human rights is clearly evident, and there can be no doubt that he has undertaken the studies that comprise his carefully composed, intricately argued book with the ultimate aim of contributing to the cause of human rights." -The Los Angeles Review of Books "De Bolla has produced that rare thing-an academic book that does something new. Beginning with a splendid but challenging theoretical distinction between rights conceived as the specifiable properties of people called persons, and right conceived as a universal and axiomatic value of human life, but one that is nowhere available for empirical inspection, de Bolla proceeds to examine two momentous contributions to political history-The Declaration of Independence and Thomas Paine's Rights of Man." -- -Jonathan Lamb Vanderbilt UniversityTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction 1.

Book SynopsisThis book examines testimony in the works of Rebecca West, Joseph Conrad, E.M. Forster, H.G. de Lisser, V.S Reid, and Ngũgi wa Thiong’o, and argues that disruptions to imperial and national power and the legal and legal responses they inspired shape the formal practices of modernist and Anglophone literature.Trade Review"Insurgent Testimonies is a tremendously engaging, exciting, and innovative book. It is a timely intervention into postcolonial, trauma, and modernist literary studies that brings them together in unprecedented ways, while never glossing over the disciplinary and epistemological tensions between them. Rizzuto's dazzling readings of Conrad, West, de Lisser, Reid, and Ngugi are exemplary." -- -Ben Baer Princeton University "A brilliant, committed reading of literary form as testimonial force produced by the historical damage of colonial violence and by the utopian horizons of anti-imperial insurgency. Rizzuto rescues the unstable mode of confessional writing from its associations with romantic self-expression and contemporary therapy culture, and even from the desire for moral clarity that we associate with commissions of truth, reconciliation, and reparation. Methodologically agile and interpretively nuanced, this book gives us a new geopolitics of intimate literary forms, redraws the map of twentieth-century periodization, and vindicates close reading as a vital tool for humanities research today." -- -Jed Esty University of Pennsylvania "Insurgent Testimonies wrenches Modernism out of its fixed description as an offshoot of the 'World' wars in their European definition. It wrenches postcolonial theory from its current focus on migration and deterritorialization. It redoes our thinking on testimony. Stunning readings of non-canonical texts by canonical authors, and significant texts away from the mainstream. Attention to historical detail combined with creative command of theory. An indispensable book." -- -Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak Columbia UniversityTable of ContentsIntroduction. Challenging Ruptures: Testimonial Insurgencies, Spectral Witnesses 1.

Book SynopsisThe Challenge of Human Rights takes a detailed and exploratory approach to topics across the field of human rights, and seeks to map a path for future research and policy development.Trade ReviewThis volume represents a genuine attempt to think beyond the realms of what exists, to reflect on ideas postulated in the past that could be of great salience in the future. It presents the reader with a key question; to what extent are the contemporary concepts of human rights and the systems that support them equipped to address the challenges of a changed world? By thinking through some of the ideas of the past, with a set of promising young scholars alongside more established names, readers will gain a sense of how human rights politics have shaped the current regime while also becoming attuned to the extent to which new directions and mechanisms can be forged in the future. Many of the individuals whose contributions are encompassed in this volume have strong links to the Irish Centre for Human Rights, at the National University of Ireland, Galway, an institution that has had a significant impact in its first decade of existence under the stewardship of Professor William A. Schabas. This volume celebrates the success of the institution by showcasing some of the talent it has generated, and is likely to be of avid interest to all who care about the future of human rights. --- From the foreword by Joshua Castellino, Middlesex University, UKTable of ContentsContents: Foreword Joshua Castellino Introduction David Keane and Yvonne McDermott 1.

Book SynopsisIn the depths of a depression in 1894, a highly successful Gilded Age businessman named Jacob Coxey led a group of jobless men on a march from his hometown of Massillon, Ohio, to the steps of the nation''s Capitol. Though a financial panic and the resulting widespread business failures caused millions of Americans to be without work at the time, the word unemployment was rarely used and generally misunderstood. In an era that worshipped the self-reliant individual who triumphed in a laissez-faire market, the out-of-work tramp was disparaged as weak or flawed, and undeserving of assistance. Private charities were unable to meet the needs of the jobless, and only a few communities experimented with public works programs. Despite these limitations, Coxey conceived a plan to put millions back to work building a nationwide system of roads and drew attention to his idea with the march to Washington. In Coxey''s Crusade for Jobs, Jerry Prout recounts Coxey''s story and adds dTrade ReviewProut provides an important work in the historiography of Coxey's Army, the history of unemployment, and the broader history of the Gilded Age. Prout uses his history of Coxey's Army to illuminate multiple strains of Populism in the 1890s. This important contribution challenges historians to think about the ways in which Populism had multiple potentials, as well as how it survived into the New Deal era and shaped thinking of future government officials and reformers. Well researched and well written, this work is highly recommended for those interested in Coxey's Army, the history of unemployment, and the longer legacies of American protests. * H-Net Reviews *Coxey's Crusade for Jobs helps bridge the historical eras of narrative-based journalism, expounded by historian Hazel Dicken-Garcia, and the sensationalism and sometimes fact-stretching yellow journalism that followed. It is highly recommended for journalism historians as well as casual readers. * Journalism History *Prout has produced a highly informative and entirely satisfying study of the contribution of Coxey's 'Industrial Army' to the history of American protest. * The Annals of Iowa *

Book SynopsisBurma’s Mass Lay Meditation Movement: Buddhism and the Cultural Construction of Power describes a transformation in Buddhist practice in contemporary Burma. This revitalization movement has had real consequences for how the oppressive military junta, in power since the early 1960s, governs the country.DrawingTrade Review“Jordt has provided the reader with insights into a Burmese theory of power relations which foreign observers rarely take into account.” * The Irrawaddy *“(Burma’s Mass Lay Meditation Movement) provides a new opening to the discussion on the socio-political culture and political legitimacy in contemporary Burma…will undoubtedly revitalise the debate on various aspects of social and political issues in contemporary Burma.” * Journal of Southeast Asian Studies *“In almost every respect, Ingrid Jordt’s Burma’s Mass Lay Meditation Movement constitutes an impressive piece of scholarship.... In marrying together an insightful analysis of Burmese social and political conditions with a thoughtful consideration of how traditional Buddhist concepts and practices are coming into play in the contemporary context, Jordt presents a rich and illuminating account of modern Burma that has much to offer the reader.” * The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology *“One of the most important things about this book is just how terribly needed it is. There is no other book that takes a cold, hard look at the relation of modernist meditation movements in Burma to the military regime.” * Current Anthropology *“Engaging, well-written and intellectually stimulating.... sheds significant light on the Buddhist background to discontent with the current regime.... The great strength of this book is its central thesis that international criteria for ‘regime performance‘ have little meaning in the Burmese context if the religious sphere is not taken seriously into consideration.” * Pacific Affairs *“Ingrid Jordt presents an insightful account of Burmese Buddhism, lay meditation and the construction of political legitimacy. Her analysis shows the complex ways in which Burmese culture mediates popular beliefs concerning power and millennial expectations. This book will be required reading for students of Buddhism, anthropology, religion, political science, and those with geographic interests in Southeast Asia, and particularly Burma.”“A subtle, sympathetic, and astute examination of lay piety in Burma and its political implications. Jordt combines an insider’s comprehension of Buddhist meditation with a capacity to stand back and take a wider view. The result is a book rich in illuminating insights.”

Book SynopsisTrade Review‘The radical nature of Michael Perry’s “agapaistic” conceptualization of human rights seems at once intuitive, but somehow to have eluded the vast majority of commentators, particularly those with a legal background. Students and seasoned scholars alike will benefit from this return to the foundational ideas and claims of the human rights idea.’ -- Dustin Sharp, University of San Diego, US‘Few scholars have understood the philosophy and application of human rights as well as Michael Perry. In this volume, with his customary clarity and care, Perry has boiled his insights down to their essence and demonstrated their utility in dealing with some of the most controversial moral issues of our time. It is a capstone work, indispensable reading for anyone who cares about the subject.’ -- Richard Kay, University of Connecticut, US‘All interested in human rights in both the international and US contexts should read this book. It is a creative treatment of legal and philosophical approaches. Perry’s stress on the spirit of solidarity as key to promoting human rights is a powerful contribution.’ -- David Hollenbach, Georgetown University, US‘Michael Perry’s lifelong project has been to give a philosophical account of human rights, beginning with its foundational basis and ending with specific prescriptions for controversial cases.

Several articles are based on original and extensive field research carried out over the past two years in, for example, South Africa, Uzbekistan and Brazil.
