Rutgers University Press Between Care and Criminality: Marriage,
Book SynopsisBetween Care and Criminality examines social welfare’s encounter with migration and marriage in a period of intensified border control in Melbourne, Australia. It offers an in-depth ethnographic account of the effort to prevent forced marriage in the aftermath of a 2013 law that criminalized the practice. Disproportionately targeted toward Muslim migrant communities, prevention efforts were tasked with making the family relations and marital practices of migrants objects of policy knowledge in the name of care and community empowerment. Through tracing the everyday ways that direct service providers, police, and advocates learned to identify imminent marriages and at-risk individuals, this book reveals how the domain of social welfare becomes the new frontier where the settler colonial state judges good citizenship. In doing so, it invites social welfare to reflect on how migrant conceptions of familial care, personhood, and mutual obligation become structured by the violence of displacement, borders, and conditional citizenship.Trade Review"This exquisitely nuanced ethnography takes anti-carceral feminism to new heights! In tracing how 'coercive violence' amongst migrant families in Australia comes to be defined and policed, Zeweri demonstrates how Muslim women are still being used to justify anti-immigrant policies, whether they are framed as victim or threat. Most importantly, she shows that intimate forms of violence cannot be understood outside the violence of war, displacement and detention." -- Miriam Ticktin * author of Casualties of Care: Immigration and the Politics of Humanitarianism in France *"Between Care and Criminality offers unique insights into how social policies are lived on the ground by frontline workers, community leaders, and the young people who they target. The book resists the static portrayals of forced marriage in providing empirical examples of families who negotiate tensions surrounding marriage decisions within the context of family dynamics." -- Reva Jaffe-Walter * author of Coercive Concern: Nationalism, Liberalism, and the Schooling of Muslim Youth *"Between Care and Community, a well-documented, well researched analysis of forced marriage prevention policy, both informs and unsettles. Helena Zeweri makes a real contribution to studies on the anthropology of marriage and biopolitics of intimacy, and poses important questions concerning first generation migrant women and notions of family, culture, and the domestic." -- Frances Julia Riemer * author of Working at the Margins: Moving Off Welfare in America *Table of ContentsSeries Foreword by Péter Berta Introduction: An Emergent Regime of Truth Chapter 1: A Genealogy of Forced Marriage Prevention Chapter 2: The Threat of Suffering: Configuring Victimhood in Forced Marriage Scenario Planning Chapter 3: Reluctant Disclosure: Epistemic Doubt and Ethical Dilemmas in Prevention Work Chapter 4: Phantom Figures: The Erasures of Biopolitical Narratives Chapter 5: Beyond Criminality: Narratives of Familial Duress in Times of Displacement Conclusion: Reflections on the Coercive State Acknowledgements Notes References Index

Rutgers University Press The Puerto Rican Problem in Postwar New York
Book SynopsisThe "Puerto-Rican Problem" in Postwar New York City presents the first comprehensive examination of the emergence, evolution, and consequences of the “Puerto Rican problem” campaign and narrative in New York City from 1945 to 1960. This notion originated in an intense public campaign that arose in reaction to the entry of Puerto Rican migrants to the city after 1945. The “problem” narrative influenced their incorporation in New York City and other regions of the United States where they settled. The anti-Puerto Rican campaign led to the formulation of public policies by the governments of Puerto Rico and New York City seeking to ease their incorporation in the city. Notions intrinsic to this narrative later entered American academia (like the “culture of poverty”) and American popular culture (e.g., West Side Story), which reproduced many of the stereotypes associated with Puerto Ricans at that time and shaped the way in which Puerto Ricans were studied and perceived by Americans. Trade Review"Meticulously researched and politically savvy, Edgardo Meléndez illuminates how the mainstream U.S. press, government agencies, academia, and public opinion mistreated the Puerto Rican exodus after 1945. A highly readable, insightful, and thought-provoking analysis." -- Jorge Duany * author of Puerto Rico: What Everyone Needs to Know *"The first in-depth study of the origins, ingrained biases, and stereotypes of the 'Puerto Rican problem' discourses propagated in most of the early post-World War II mass migration research about the Puerto Rican community.

Rutgers University Press Forgotten Bodies: Imperialism, Chuukese
Book SynopsisWomen from Chuuk, Federated States of Micronesia, who migrate to Guam, a U.S. territory, suffer disproportionately poor reproductive health outcomes. Though their access to the United States is unusually easy, through a unique migration agreement, it keeps them in a perpetual liminal state as nonimmigrants, who never fully belong as part of the United States Chuukese women move to Guam, sometimes with their families but sometimes alone, in search of a better life: for jobs, for the education system, or to access safe health care. Yet, the imperial system they encounter creates underlying conditions that greatly and disproportionately impact their ability to succeed and thrive, negatively impacting their reproductive health. Through clinical and community ethnography, Sarah A. Smith illuminates the way this system stratifies women’s reproduction at structural, social, and individual levels. Readers can visualize how U.S. imperialist policies of benign neglect control the body politic, change the social body, and render individual bodies vulnerable in the twenty-first century but also how people resist.Trade Review"Written with clarity, compassion, and theoretical acuity, Forgotten Bodies describes the reproductive health disparities of Micronesian migrant women in Guam, set within wider stories of imperialism, colonialism, and racism. This book will be valuable to students of decolonizing anthropology and Pacific Studies, to health practitioners committed to more equitable and adequate care, and to anyone who cares about the lives, struggles, and strengths of Chuukese women. "— Don Rubinstein, professor of Micronesian Studies at University of Guam "Based in deep ethnographic research, Smith's essential book challenges us to understand Chuukese women's poor reproductive health chances as a result of a broad set of imperial forces. We learn so much from this book about the gender and health damages the U.S. empire has wrought in Guam, Chuuk, and elsewhere in Micronesia."— Catherine Lutz, coeditor of War and Health: The Medical Consequences of the Wars in Iraq and AfghanistanTable of ContentsForeword by Lenore Manderson List of Abbreviations Introduction: Imperial Chuukese Bodies, Transnational Migration, and Stratified Reproduction in Guam 1 Imperial Occupations 2 Imperial Observations 3 Imperial Migrations 4 Reproducing Imperialism in the Body 5 Discourses of Imperial Sexuality 6 Contempt, Confusion, and Care in Guam’s Imperial Public Healthcare System 7 Resisting Imperial Effects Acknowledgments Notes References Index

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Weimarer Erfahrungen
Book SynopsisText in German. This study is dedicated to the origins of two decisive processes - the transformation of post-war Germany from the National Socialist community to a liberal democracy and the ideological genesis of the Cold War. The study focuses on five German emigrants, the political thinker and Protestant Carl J. Friedrich, the socialist political scientist Ernst Fraenkel, the Catholic publicist Waldemar Gurian, the liberal lawyer and lawyer Karl Loewenstein and finally Hans Morgenthau, political scientist, lawyer and theorist on the Field of international relations. All of them participated intensively in the political debates of the Weimar period, survived the Nazi era in exile in the United States, and advanced to become influential American intellectuals and political advisors. Udi Greenberg follows in their footsteps and shows, including historical and political perspectives, that the cornerstone for Germany's democratic reconstruction as well as for the transatlantic post-war order was based on experiences of the Weimar Republic. From the interwar period in Germany to the end of the East-West conflict, the study sheds light on five personalities, their ideas and the resulting political decisions that had a lasting impact on Germany's relationship with America and the structure of the Cold War.
