Taylor & Francis Ltd Which Way is Up
Book SynopsisFirst published in 1983 Which Way is Up presents a selection of Bob Connell's writings on three key issues of modern social analysis- sex and gender, class and power, and culture. The essays range from psychoanalysis and contemporary feminism to the role theory, from the analysis of class and culture to the debate about intellectuals and the new class'. In critically reviewing contemporary thought on these issues, the author has developed a perspective centred on the analysis of social practice. Easy to read, often witty, the essays represent an attempt to shift social theory into the real world of the late twentieth century, to go beyond the limits of orthodox sociology and radical dogmas, to think through theoretical questions without losing touch with practical politics. This is a must read for students and scholars of sociology. Table of ContentsPreface Part I 1. Dr Freud and the course of history 2. Men’s bodies 3. Crisis tendencies in patriarchy and capitalism 4.

Taylor & Francis Putting Social Justice and Equity at the Heart of
Book SynopsisThis essential book discusses what reading for pleasure is and what it is not, introducing some fundamental ideas about how we learn to read and how this process can impact on a childâs identity as a reader in classrooms that promote equality, inclusion and diversity.The profile and importance of Reading for Pleasure has grown significantly over the last few years and is now firmly embedded in both government policy and the Ofsted framework. Developing a Reading for Pleasure school that is truly inclusive of the whole school community, however, can require a culture shift in relation to the teaching of reading, representation in the reading environment and the knowledge, and attitudes of the school community. This book seeks to use the current research, teacher case studies and the voices of children to address some of the issues that teachers and pre-service teachers encounter when trying to develop an inclusive Reading for Pleasure culture within their schools.

Taylor & Francis Black Womens Liberation Movement Music
Book SynopsisBlack Womenâs Liberation Movement Music argues that the Black Womenâs Liberation Movement of the mid-to-late 1960s and 1970s was a unique combination of Black political feminism, Black literary feminism, and Black musical feminism, among other forms of Black feminism.This book critically explores the ways the soundtracks of the Black Womenâs Liberation Movement often overlapped with those of other 1960s and 1970s social, political, and cultural movements, such as the Black Power Movement, Womenâs Liberation Movement, and Sexual Revolution. The soul, funk, and disco music of the Black Womenâs Liberation Movement era is simultaneously interpreted as universalist, feminist (in a general sense), and Black female-focused. This musicâs incredible ability to be interpreted in so many different ways speaks to the importance and power of Black womenâs music and the fact that it has multiple meanings for a multitude of people. Within the worlds of both Black Popular Movement STrade Review"Reiland Rabaka is one of America’s foremost scholars of the African American experience. That he has turned his gaze to Black women and music can only be cause for excitement, as all his previous works carry the label: SOTA, or state of the art. Given the depth and scope of this work, it will readily become a standout ‘reference’ work. This represents an amazing accomplishment, even by Rabaka’s standards."William E. Cross, Jr., Professor Emeritus, University of Denver and author of Shades of Black"Black Women’s Liberation Movement Music is in some ways an extension of themes that have figured prominently in Professor Rabaka’s previous books including The Hip Hop Movement, Hip Hop’s Inheritance, Hip Hop’s Amnesia, Civil Rights Music, and Black Power Music! In all, Rabaka speaks as a sociologist, musician, and social historian to confront head-on the tacit and pervasive marginalization and erasure of women’s agency in the tides of progressive social change, especially as these tides manifest themselves in music; and in all he dismantles the strategies of erasure and highlights a dazzling tapestry of Black women’s crucial contributions. But in this book, those themes find their fulfillment or even culmination. Although scholarly and popular study of this watershed period in cultural history has focused on men (White and Black), Black Women’s Liberation Movement Music demonstrates compellingly that the liberation movement of Black women, including its music, was a primary agent if not the primary agent of transformational societal changes during the period 1960-80. I recommend this beautifully structured and eloquently argued study to anyone interested not only in the Black Women’s Liberation Movement, but also in other movements including the Black Power movement, the women’s liberation movement, and the sexual revolution."John Michael Cooper, Professor of Music, Southwestern UniversityTable of ContentsIntroduction.

Taylor & Francis Just War Thinkers Revisited
Book SynopsisThis book comprises essays that focus on a range of thinkers who challenge the boundaries of the just war tradition.The ethics of war scholarship has become a rigid and highly disciplined activity, closely associated with a very particular canon of thinkers. This volume moves beyond this by presenting thinkers not typically regarded as part of that canon but who have interesting and potentially important things to say about the ethics of war. The book presents 20 profile essays on an eclectic cast of heretics, humanists, and radicals, from ancient Greece to the twenty-first century, who lived through and theorized about violence. The book asks how ethics of war scholars might benefit from engaging with them. Some of these thinkers engage directly withâto augment or criticizeâthe just war tradition, while others contribute to military thinking across the ages, pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable in war. Many proffer alternative moral frameworks regarding the legitima

Taylor & Francis Ltd Contemporary Perspectives on Freuds Seduction
Book SynopsisThis edited collection brings together the perspectives of a broad spectrum of experts who reflect on Freud's Seduction Theory, psychoanalysis, and the reality of child abuse through the work of Jeffrey Masson.Jeffrey Masson's The Assault on Truth: Freud's Suppression of the Seduction Theory (1984) is arguably the most controversial book on psychoanalysis in the last century. It provoked a furore from mainstream psychoanalysis, yet was well-received by the emerging international trauma field and became a bestseller. Four decades on, a group of international scholars and professionals revisit Masson's original work and reflect on the lessons that can be taken from the saga. Was the reaction of Masson's peers tied to the fact that he had accused Freud of being less than heroic, or was it that he confronted psychoanalysis with a very uncomfortable truth? This book examines how The Assault on Truth came to be written, why it spark

Taylor & Francis Ltd What Makes Life Meaningful
Book SynopsisCan human life be meaningful? What does talk about life's meaning even mean? What is God's role, if any, in a meaningful life? These three questions frame this one-of-a-kind debate between two philosophers who have spent most of their professional lives thinking and writing about the topic of life's meaning.In this wide-ranging scholarly conversation, Professors Thaddeus Metz and Joshua W. Seachris develop and defend their own unique answers to these questions, while responding to each other's objections in a lively dialog format. Seachris argues that the concept of life's meaning largely revolves around three interconnected ideasmattering, purpose, and sense-making; that a meaningful human life involves sufficiently manifesting all three; and that God would importantly enhance the meaningfulness of life on each of these three fronts. Metz instead holds that talk of life's meaning is about a variety of properties such as meriting pride, transcending one's animal selfTrade ReviewFrom the Foreword:"This is a compelling and illuminating debate, conducted with a collegial spirit, into some of the most fundamental of human concerns. I found myself agreeing with Seachris, then Metz, then Seachris, then Metz, and so forth. That’s a sign of a good debate. In the end, I was sure that I had learned a lot, and enjoyed the ride!"John Martin Fischer, University of California, Riverside Table of Contents1. Triadic Meaning and the Benefits of God 2.

Taylor & Francis Hauntology
Book SynopsisIn response to the recent âspectral turnâ within criminology this book presents, for the first time, a concise, comprehensive, approachable, and critically engaged guide to hauntology for criminological researchers and graduate students.Hauntology is, in essence, a mode of analysing the repressions, absences and lacks that shape our social world. The book outlines how criminological researchers may welcome hauntings into their work, to escape the ontological tethers of criminological realism and to reveal the importance of absence in their work. Specifically, the book is structured around key criminological themes, from prisons to the environment, and examines how the lens of âhauntingâ helps unlock new critical enquiry by revealing the voices that are all too often buried. In doing so, it presents an examination of how hauntological concepts can be âreadâ criminologically as well as addressing how they can be used to expand criminological imagination.Throughout the book, we use hauntology to amplify the significance of justice within criminology as an intellectual and ethical endeavour. We argue that a spectral attitude bolsters our ability to âdo justiceâ to our research, our questions, our participants, our subjects, our objects, and what counts as criminological knowledge.The book is guided by the following objectives:â To introduce the importance of hauntology for encountering the spectres repressed within criminological knowledge and research.â To outline the key concepts of hauntology to offer new critical insight into their application across the field of criminology.â To examine the multiple ways hauntology stretches the ontological and epistemological foundations of criminological research.â To produce an approachable, comprehensive and theoretically driven compendium that both motivates and guides current and future research across all areas of criminology. Hauntology: An Introduction for Criminologists is a guide for criminologists that is designed to, for the first time, help direct future hauntological research and enhanced learning capacity across the discipline of criminology.

Taylor & Francis Psychoanalytic Work with Migrants and Refugees
Book SynopsisPsychoanalytic Work with Migrants and Refugees presents a rich panorama of the clinical issues facing those who experience migration. Thorough and empathetic in its approach, this book considers the potentially devastating impact of migration on oneâs sense of personal and cultural identity, using clinical vignettes from reception centres to illustrate the experience of both adult and adolescent migrants. Virginia De Micco looks at the transgenerational impact migration can have on psychic development and child/parent relationships, both on a socio-anthropological and unconscious level. She highlights the unique migratory experience of both women and mothers, equipping readers with the tools to deal with the grief and guilt that can arise in these nuanced situations. Adopting an anthropological approach, De Micco also considers the irrevocable impact of migration on the host country, looking both at the reaction of those who live in the receiving countries as well as the broader impact of multiculturalism and globalisation. Throughout, the book offers a deep, fundamental understanding of the psychic conditions and reactions of people receiving migrants, with a view to avoiding cultural misunderstandings and bias and improving the integration process. This book is an essential manual for psychoanalysts and psychologists working with migrants and refugees, as well as social workers and care workers based in reception centres and other institutions dealing with migrants.

This is a book you will use all year long!" -- Donna Boucher"Every math teacher knows that using manipulatives is a good idea. Now, with Mastering Math Manipulatives, every math teacher can now how to use them best. It unpacks how different manipulatives work, provides rich tasks for using them, and teaches how to maximize their effectiveness. It includes virtual manipulatives! This is a must-have for every math teacher!" -- John SanGiovanni"I highly recommend Mastering Math Manipulatives. Manipulatives play a vital role in developing a solid conceptual understanding of the math. Not only do the authors share wonderful ideas of how to use a variety of manipulatives; they also share reasons why that manipulative is effective for the given topic as well as ways to further develop that concept. This resource is great for those who are new to using manipulatives as well as those who are experienced in using them." -- Kevin Dykema"Sara Delano Moore and Kimberly Rimbey have written a robust and immensely helpful guide to using manipulatives for profound student learning. In short, they have done all the deep, hard work laying out for us the intellectual and pedagogical queries we need to examine when considering using particular manipulatives—or even in deciding to use manipulatives at all! And they have done so with insight on matters of attitude and mindset, the availability of student support, fair accessibility, the role of the virtual, and more. Practical. Readable. Concrete. This is a winner of a guide." -- James Tanton"Sara Delano Moore and Kimberly Rimbey masterfully show us why something we know works actually works—that manipulatives are powerful and essential tools to help children learn mathematics. This book serves as a guide to help teachers in their classrooms and in their PLCs effectively make judicious use of manipulatives. Moore and Rimbey empower teachers to use sound learning theories to select the most appropriate manipulative for a particular topic and task. Mathematics educators can use this book to sharpen their mathematical knowledge for teaching and mathematics leaders can use this book as a reference for building curriculum framework documents and engaging in deep collegial coaching conversations. The best part? Students will benefit from a much deeper understanding of why the mathematics works as it does. Every mathematics teacher needs a highly dog-eared version of this book in their professional library!" -- Paul Gray"I thought I was aware of most everything I needed to know about the use of manipulatives in teaching mathematics at the elementary level—but Sara Delano Moore and Kimberly Rimbey proved me wrong. Mastering Math Manipulatives: Hands-On and Virtual Activities for Building and Connecting Mathematical Ideas makes a significant contribution in several ways: First, it consistently links the various representations in a useful visual that reminds the reader what mental connections students should be making from this experience. The use of multiple representations is critical to support all students particularly those with special needs in mathematics as per the new IES Practice Guide. The book also is practical and full of "I can use this tomorrow" examples across multiple content areas. An important read." -- Karen S. Karp"It’s always so gratifying to find a book filled with the answers to the questions we have asked over and over again. There is widespread belief in the power of concrete materials but the questions I hear are "Which manipulatives are best?", "Where and when do I fit them in?", "How do I best use them?", and "Why are there essential tools for learning?" This wonderful book answers each of these questions with clarity and classroom tested examples. Whether you teach, coach, or administrate in Grades 4 to 8, there is no doubt that the ideas and activities found in this book will strengthen the teaching and significantly enhance the learning of mathematics of your students." -- Steve Leinwand"As a mathematics coach and consultant I have visited dozens of math closets, those dusty corners of every school where you can find the tools you need to unlock hands-on, student-centered learning in your classroom. Mastering Math Manipulatives takes you to those places, yes, but it also takes you to the future with connections to virtual manipulatives, exploring the strengths and limitations of each. In this book you will find seasoned, practical advice and the kind of targeted lessons and directions you need to feel confident enough to dust off those tools and put them to good use. As I like to say, "Put your pencils down and get thinking!"" -- Kimberly Morrow-Leong"We educators spend a great deal of time researching, exploring, and consolidating all the elements that combine to support students as they develop and connect mathematical understandings. It is very exciting to have this uniquely comprehensive resource that unites what is critical and necessary for rich and engaging mathematics instruction, explicitly connecting the research base and mathematics concepts and processes with essential math manipulatives. Distinct and detailed visuals and clearly articulated activities are presented in a consistent format that is accessible to new and experienced teachers." -- Kathleen M. Morris"What a tremendous resource for teachers of mathematics! Sara Delano Moore and Kimberly Rimbey provide helpful tips and practical strategies for incorporating hands-on and virtual manipulatives into daily lessons. This book identifies a wealth of versatile manipulatives that can be used across grade levels and math domains, offers tips for planning and management, and shares sample lessons. And it includes critical discussions about making connections between varied representations to deepen students’ understanding of the math skill or concept. The organization of the book is easy to follow and allows teachers to jump in and out as needed to find just what works for their students. If you are looking for useful tips and effective strategies for incorporating hands-on and virtual manipulatives into your math teaching, this is the book for you!" -- Sue O’Connell"Mastering Math Manipulatives is the perfect support to help teachers move beyond using manipulatives for play during recess. This book provides additional ideas and strategies for supporting students who are struggling by helping them learn and grow mathematically. The practical examples included in the book are helpful for preservice teachers as well." -- Cindy Beaman"Hands-on strategies are essential for student learning, and often natural for teachers in other contents. However, when it comes to math, the connection of hands-on tools to content and activity often seems fuzzy at best. There is finally the resource to connect the tool, the task, and the conceptual understanding together! These manipulatives-based activities provide the foundation for understanding that is essential for mathematics to make sense instead of being memorized. This book is a must for every teacher of mathematics!" -- Nanci Smith"This book is a great resource for assisting educators in teaching mathematics for understanding. It offers preservice teachers a foundation for their future teaching by giving them opportunities to learn math concepts more deeply and conceptually by using physical (or virtual) manipulatives. In-service teachers will find this book a valuable resource to enhance their mathematics curriculum. I applaud the authors for addressing issues of access to manipulatives (physical and virtual) as well as providing helping parents and caregivers understand the importance of manipulatives and how they can assist their children at home." -- Shelly M.

Cambridge University Press European Union Internal Market Law
Book SynopsisThis is the market''s most student-friendly textbook on EU internal market law, covering everything students need to know about the legal and regulatory framework of the internal market and eliminating the need for a full EU law text. Concise and focused, chapters explore the underlying socio-economic and historical contexts of EU law, and offer a thorough examination of the law''s technical aspects, ensuring that students gain a rich understanding of the way that legal rules and structures have developed from key political and social debates. Key concepts are illustrated by excerpts, summaries and discussions of classic and modern cases. Numerous features include text boxes, illustrative cases, legal interpretations, tables, and suggestions for further reading, which support students with little background knowledge of the subject, leading them to total mastery of the material.Trade Review'European Union Internal Market Law provides a clear and detailed exploration of one of the key features of EU law and is a very useful addition to the bookshelves of those studying the topic for the first time or at more advanced level.' Jess Guth, Bradford University Law School'The EU internal market is the A and Ω of EU law. It is one of the most fascinating yet complex areas of EU law, as it constantly evolves, driven by legislative action produced by the EU political institutions and interpretive judgments of the EU judiciary. Weiss and Kaupa have got their finger on the pulse of the EU internal market's core in a masterful and still surprisingly reader-friendly manner. Leading case-law is intermingled with theoretical and policy analysis, whereas the most important provisions of EU's primary and secondary law are highlighted - all this, in a clear and systematic manner. Additionally, an analytical framework used along the four fundamental freedoms allows rising to the challenge of deciphering the essentials of the EU internal market law. An informative read for scholars and an indispensable tool for any student interested in understanding the essentials of EU's substantive law.'

Cambridge University Press Resilient Communities
Book SynopsisIn Resilient Communities, Jana Krause focuses on civilian agency and mobilization ''from below'' and explains violence and non-violence in communal wars. Drawing on extensive field research on ethno-religious conflicts in Ambon/Maluku Province in eastern Indonesia and Jos/Plateau State in central Nigeria, this book shows how civilians responded to local conflict dynamics very differently, evading, supporting, or collectively resisting armed groups. Combining evidence collected from more than 200 interviews with residents, community leaders, and former fighters, local scholarly work (in Indonesian), and local newspaper-based event data analysis, this book explains civilian mobilization, militia formation, and conflict escalation. The book''s comparison of vulnerable mixed communities and (un)successful prevention efforts demonstrates how under courageous leadership resilient communities can emerge that adapt to changing conflict zones and collectively prevent killings. By developing theTrade Review'In exploring how and why low-intensity episodes of violence organized around religious identities sometimes escalate into full-fledged 'communal wars', this book underlines the dynamic interplay between locals and outsiders, while also highlighting civilian agency under conditions of exceptional duress. With this important and timely study based on extensive fieldwork in Nigeria and Indonesia, Krause succeeds in furthering our understanding of political violence.' Stathis Kalyvas, Gladstone Professor of Government, University of Oxford'Krause's analysis of communal violence in Nigeria and Indonesia makes an important contribution to our understanding of instances when non-violence trumps hatred in ethno-religious conflicts. Her work importantly advances our understanding of how peaceful communities and their institutional capacity emerge, and how people preserve non-violence in the context of a changing conflict zone.' Kristen Monroe, University of California, Irvine'This is an excellent book: precisely the kind of detailed, field-based analysis needed for a deeper understanding of the nature and dynamics of communal conflict. The book sheds an important light on the ways in which populations and communities caught up in war adapt and respond to the exceptional circumstances in which they find themselves. Krause has made an important contribution to the field.' Mats Berdal, King's College London'In this fascinating study, Jana Krause turns conflict studies on its head: rather than only asking why violence breaks out, she asks why violence did not occur in some communities. Based on exceptional fieldwork, this eloquent book points to the power of local leadership and collective agency. In a field of study that can sometimes write individual actors out of the story, Krause's analysis brings people, community, and agency back in. Hers is a remarkable study that has lessons for scholars, students, and policymakers alike.' Scott Straus, Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor of Political Science and International Studies, University of Wisconsin, Madison'Krause's study offers insights into how civilian agency, institutional capacity, and resilience are enablers to peace. Understanding endogenous structures and capacities, and supporting, rather than replacing them with externally imported models, can become the most effective route to sustainable peace.'

Cambridge University Press The Political Life of an Epidemic
Book SynopsisZimbabwe''s catastrophic cholera outbreak of 20089 saw an unprecedented number of people affected, with 100,000 cases and nearly 5,000 deaths. Cholera, however, was much more than a public health crisis: it represented the nadir of the country''s deepening political and economic crisis of 2008. This study focuses on the political life of the cholera epidemic, tracing the historical origins of the outbreak, examining the social pattern of its unfolding and impact, analysing the institutional and communal responses to the disease, and marking the effects of its aftermath. Across different social and institutional settings, competing interpretations and experiences of the cholera epidemic created charged social and political debates. In his examination of these debates which surrounded the breakdown of Zimbabwe''s public health infrastructure and failing bureaucratic order, the scope and limitations of disaster relief, and the country''s profound levels of livelihood poverty and social inTrade Review'Chigudu has captured perfectly the political trajectory of a tragedy that formed not only political discourse but political subjectivities - reflected in the rich testimonies he has gathered. It is a book rich in its detail, ultimately bleak, and helps us understand the political condition of Zimbabwe.' Stephen Chan, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London'This compelling book offers important insights into the complex and often disturbing relationship between politics, public health, humanitarianism, state-making and citizen-making. With narrative eloquence that reinforces both its analytical strength and political relevance, it makes a critical contribution to multiple academic and policy fields.' Amanda Hammar, University of Copenhagen'Written with passion, Chigudu powerfully conveys the lived experience of disease, recognises both the impact and limits of humanitarian efforts, and weaves this into a compelling account of state transformation and the struggle for substantive citizenship in Zimbabwe. It should be required reading across the medical and social sciences.' JoAnn McGregor, University of Sussex'Like all first-rate studies of epidemics, Chigudu's book uses a story of contagion to meditate on a host of critical questions - about political power, about cities, about public institutions, about humanitarianism. This arresting, superbly written book will be of great interest to scholars across the social sciences.' Jonny Steinberg, University of Oxford'Chigudu's dissection of the historical, political and economic dimensions of a Zimbabwean public health crisis is clinical in its precision and profoundly disturbing. It is a devastating account of an epidemic, a sophisticated analysis of the political economy of Zimbabwe and of the shortcomings of international humanitarian aid.'

How it has morphed through seventy years of committees, changing names and structures, accessions of new members, successive treaties, evolving capacities, and its current existential tensions? Kiran Klaus Patel's Project Europe is the essential institutional history and user's manual for making it as clear as it can ever be.' Charles S.

A must read for anyone interested in the past complexities, present problems and future prospects of the European project.' Mary Nolan, author of The Transatlantic Century: Europe and America, 1890–2010'This book should be mandatory at school. It explains why Europe sometimes does well and sometimes not, why it survives increasingly severe crises, why it is so difficult to understand, and also why it is both super-powerful and totally powerless.

Pan Macmillan The Fall of Boris Johnson
Book SynopsisSebastian Payne is the Director of the think tank Onward and the former Whitehall Editor for the Financial Times. He is the author of the acclaimed Broken Heartlands, which was The Times' Political Book of the Year. Sebastian presented the Payne's Politics podcast, which was shortlisted for News Podcast of the Year' at the National Press Awards. The Fall of Boris Johnson is his second book and was a winner at the Parliamentary Book Awards.Trade ReviewAn entertaining and illuminating fly on the wall romp through Boris Johnson's final nine months, where the fly, Seb Payne, must frequently have thought he was on hallucinogens. It's more fun than a Downing Street party and contains a suitcase full of news. -- Tim ShipmanA timely reminder of the fine art of defenestration written by one of Fleet Street’s most trusted insiders. Delicious detail, break-neck pace and a curiosity which is both urgent yet empathetic. We are lucky to have Sebastian Payne. One of the finest of his generation. -- Emily MaitlisA genuinely page-turning, gripping account of some of the most extraordinary days in modern British history. Very well sourced, this is a book historians will be turning to for a long time to come. The fall of emperors often seems a more interesting theme than their rise; Seb Payne triumphantly confirms it. -- Andrew MarrBrilliant, a devastating piece of contemporary history and I’d recommend anyone with a remote interest in politics reads it. However bad you thought the Boris Johnson denouement was, Payne shows that it was much worse. We’re living in a time of epic political implosions, and the definitive history of this one has just been written. -- Fraser NelsonAny Tory MP tempted by a Johnson comeback should be prescribed this book by their GP -- The Times, A Political Book of the YearPayne writes with great skill . . . borders on the best of Tom Sharpe . . . revelatory * The Daily Telegraph *I urge you to read -- Nick CohenRevealing stories . . . delicious detail * The Times *Seasoned Westminster commentator Payne brilliantly, breathlessly and low-blow by low-blow captures the car crash at Downing Street -- Daily Mail, A Book of the YearHas all the pace, intrigue, complexity and dirt worthy of the finest Netflix drama * Metro *Payne tells the inside story, charting the crescendo of scandals that led to the resignation of a prime minister * Financial Times *
