University of Notre Dame Press Religious Responses to Violence
Book SynopsisThese essays explore the impact of religion and politics on human rights and violence in contemporary Latin America.Trade Review"This book makes an important and original contribution to the fields of religion and politics and to the study of human rights and violence in contemporary Latin America. Religion is treated seriously, by authors who really understand it. The book also brings fresh research and a long view to bear on its examination of civil violence and rights. Scholars and students in a range of disciplines—history, anthropology, sociology, political science, and religion—will find this book of great value." —Frances Hagopian, Harvard University"As the Middle East is today, so was Latin America for decades during the last century, with major stories on every front page and evening news program and with the role of the Church often front and center. Violence pervades much of the region today, especially in Central America, but one hears less of the role of religion now. This volume is a most welcome addition to the study of religion and human rights in the Americas and brings together excellent studies of less covered areas of the recent past and exciting treatments of the new roles of religion in today’s conflict areas." —Tom Quigley, former policy advisor on Latin America and the Caribbean to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops"A generation or two ago, the image of church people faced with state-sponsored violence in Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Central America prompted numerous studies and inspired many to organize and march. This collection sheds new light on those familiar stories and examines the perplexing violence of the present and responses to it, such as pentecostal prison ministry in Brazil and church groups assisting migrants fleeing through Mexico. Each study, whether local, national, or regional, is a treasure; they are enhanced by thematic surveys that bring fresh insight for a new generation of scholars and readers." —Phillip Berryman, author of Religion in the Megacity: Catholic and Protestant Portraits from Latin America"Religious Responses to Violence contains 15 chapters by experts on Argentina, Brazil, Central America, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. They cover the history of Latin America from the mid-twentieth century to the present—roughly from Vatican II to Pope Francis and from the early development of Evangelical churches to their current prominence in communities and politics. . . . Anyone involved in that great movement will benefit from reading Religious Responses to Violence." —Friends Journal“The book begins with the paradox that ‘modern Latin America is both notably violent and notably religious’ and ends with the empirically based conclusion about ‘the unique qualities of religious as a social force against violence.’ . . . Religious actors play an ongoing and irreplaceable role in acting as an antidote to the universal hold of justice as a revenge seeking lex talionis that so far has been noticed by a few anthropological studies but not the public eye. Religious Responses to Violence is not an easy to read primer. But it’s a necessary one.” —Catholic Book Reviews“The 15 contributions reveal the multiple and at times conflicting responses from churches that range from active non-violence to challenging state violence, accompanying popular mobilizations, supporting development projects, and taking up arms in support of revolutionary movements. The volume makes a key contribution to understanding religion in contemporary Latin America.” —Choice“This book has much to offer. Featuring scholars from different disciplines, it presents a wonderful account of historical events and analysis of what Latin Americans had experienced during the political and social turbulence of the region from the 1970s to the present times . . . the topics complement each other and are relevant to anyone working on this issue today.” —Theological Studies

University of Washington Press Personal Justice Denied
Book SynopsisPersonal Justice Denied tells the extraordinary story of the incarceration of mainland Japanese Americans and Alaskan Aleuts during World War II. Although this wartime episode is now almost universally recognized as a catastrophe, for decades various government officials and agencies defended their actions by asserting a military necessity. The Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment was established by act of Congress in 1980 to investigate the detention program. Over twenty days, it held hearings in cities across the country, particularly on the West Coast, with testimony from more than 750 witnesses: evacuees, former government officials, public figures, interested citizens, and historians and other professionals. It took steps to locate and to review the records of government action and to analyze contemporary writings and personal and historical accounts.

In the first detailed description of Stalin’s mass terror, Vatlin unfolds the day-to-day working of the Soviet political police who carried out orders to select, arrest, interrogate, and often murder their fellow citizens. An absorbing, heartrending account.”—David Shearer, author of Policing Stalin’s Socialism“Although the literature on the Great Terror has improved markedly over the past twenty-five years, only a handful of case studies consider how the purges took place at the grassroots level. Thankfully, Alexander Vatlin’s pathbreaking work has now become available to English-speaking audiences. One can only hope that Agents of Terror will inspire more research on the purge’s perpetrators and victims as well as on the broader sociology of this brutal period.”—David Brandenberger, author of Propaganda State in Crisis“A sensationally significant, detailed microhistory of Stalin’s Great Terror, based on the criminal files of NKVD agents who were arrested as scapegoats at the end of the terror—what some historians have called the purge of the purgers.”—Lynne Viola, author of The Unknown Gulag"Make[s] a vital contribution to the growing literature on perpetrators under Stalin." - The Times Literary Supplement“A landmark work that introduces new dimensions to the study of Stalinist terror.” — Canadian Slavonic Papers

Yale University Press The Hidden Face of Rights Embracing and
Book SynopsisWhy we cannot truly implement human rights unless we also recognize human responsibilities When we debate questions in international law, politics, and justice, we often use the language of rightsand far less often the language of responsibilities. Human rights scholars and activists talk about state responsibility for rights, but they do not articulate clear norms about other actors' obligations. In this book, Kathryn Sikkink argues that we cannot truly implement human rights unless we also recognize and practice the corresponding human responsibilities. Focusing on five areasclimate change, voting, digital privacy, freedom of speech, and sexual assaultand providing many examples of on-the-ground initiatives where people choose to embrace a close relationship between rights and responsibilities, Sikkink argues for the importance of responsibilities to any comprehensive understanding of political ethics and human rights.

Reframing contemporary questions of academic freedom through readings from Milton, Locke, Kant, J.S. Mill, and Rawls, she underscores its value and our collective obligation to maintain difficult conversations on sensitive cultural and political questions. Anyone concerned with these issues will find much in this book to enlighten, provoke, and disquiet them, and much to reconsider, or dissent from, in her unflinching analysis of recent flashpoints in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.”—Brendan de Caires, Executive Director of PEN CanadaTable of Contents Preface and Acknowledgments Introduction Part One Chapter One: Free Speech in Western Universities Chapter Two: Academic Freedom: History, Definitions, and Democratic Significance Chapter Three: Campus Free Speech and Academic Freedom Part Two Chapter Four: Free Speech, Compelled Speech, Facts/Falsehoods/Unpopular Opinions Chapter Five: Political Correctness, Harassment/Discrimination/Hate Speech, Microaggression Chapter Six: Deplatforming, Trigger Warning, Safe Space Part Three Chapter Seven: The United Kingdom: Human Rights Act, a New Bill, and the Uncertain Future of Campus Speech Chapter Eight: The United States: First Amendment, Speech Policies, and Promising but "Not Quite There Yet" Results Chapter Nine: Canada: The (Ir)Relevance of the Charter to Campus Free Speech Conclusion

The University of Michigan Press Presidential Accountability in Wartime
Book SynopsisWhile other scholars have focused on presidents starting military conflicts abroad or infringing on civil liberties at home, Stuart Streichler integrates international humanitarian law into an analysis of the repercussions of presidential war powers for human rights.Trade Review“President Bush unlawfully endorsed the use of torture after 9/11 despite categorical prohibitions in both US and international law.

Streichler manifests excellent scholarship and, just as importantly, a very accessible writing style.”—Sanford V.

LUP - University of Michigan Press Water and Politics
Book SynopsisThrough the lens of urban water provision, this book shows how politicians fail to provide reliable and high quality public services because they often benefit politically from manipulating public service provision for electoral gain. In many young democracies, politicians exchange water service for votes or political support, attempting to reward allies or punish political enemies.Trade ReviewWater and Politics explains the politics of multiple pathways to the provision of basic public services—a key issue both for equity and governance. The analysis expertly distills the key factors that shape very different urban water provision outcomes."" - Jonathan Fox, author of Accountability Politics: Power and Voice in Rural Mexico""This fascinating and resonant study makes important contributions to the comparative politics of developing countries as well as to normative debates about the possibilities for better governance of public services there. Politics at the urban scale has been pivotal for effective reform in these settings. This book casts new light on how and why."" - Jeffrey Sellers, University of Southern California
