Taylor & Francis Ltd Social Work Practice During Times of Disaster
Book SynopsisDisasters affect people individually and collectively in their communities, national societies, and the international sphere and in any setting from the home to the planetary level. Furthermore, these disasters can be complex, multi-layered and what happens in one location can affect sentient beings elsewhere directly and/or indirectly. These create interdependencies between people, the flora, fauna, and physical environment that require the holistic, transdisciplinary approaches to disasters that are advocated by green social work perspectives.Using case studies drawn from practice and research to explore the skills and knowledge needed by social workers to practice within disaster situations, this book illustrates what good social work practice during times of disaster looks like. It highlights the theories, skills and expertise needed to intervene effectively in specific disaster situations and provides case studies as a major vehicle for considering ethical dilemmas and sTable of Contents1.Introduction.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Remaking Social Work with Children and Families
Book SynopsisRemaking Social Work with Children and Families provides a sustained examination of the ''modernisation'' of this area of social care. It analyses some of the key themes introduced by the administrations of John Major and Tony Blair and provides a critical exploration of contemporary policy initiatives and issues. These include: the Looking After Children (LAC) materials The Framework for the Assessment of Children in Need and Their Families ''working together'' to protect children the mainstream approach to ''race'' and ethnicity in social work the implications for social work of the emergence of ''personal advisers'', mentors and related professionals.The author argues that political and ideological factors need to be taken into account in order to understand the dominant discourses and evolving practices of social work with children.

Cambridge University Press Town and Country in Europe 13001800 5 Themes in
Book SynopsisRelations between town and country are central to Europe's long-term economic, political and social evolution. This 2001 book surveys and re-interprets these relations in particular countries and regions in the light of the most recent debates on state formation, urbanisation, proto-industrialisation, and the regional character of pre-modern economic growth. Thirteen specially commissioned chapters, ranging chronologically from the Black Death to the Enlightenment, give a comprehensive coverage of Europe, from Spain to Sweden and England, and from the Polish Commonwealth to Holland and Italy. Each chapter offers a self-contained analysis of its country or region and provides a basis for systematic comparison. The Introduction (by S. R. Epstein) discusses the historiographical and theoretical framework for the regional chapters, emphasising how evolving political configurations changed the balance between 'coercive' and 'market-based' solutions to town-country relations and set countrieTrade Review"The dozen essays in this well-edited volume provide a well-balanced and geographically extensive introduction to the current state of scholarship on the relation between town and country in late medieval and early modern Europe."

CHOICE Jan 2002"This volume is one of the freshest and fullest treatments of scholarship about town and country relations in premodern European urban history, and deserves a wide and appreciative reading.

University of Georgia Press City of Refuge Slavery and Petit Marronage in
Book SynopsisTells a story of petit marronage, an informal slave's economy, and the construction of internal improvements in the Great Dismal Swamp of Virginia and North Carolina. This examination of life, commerce, and social activity in the Great Dismal Swamp engages the historiographies of slave resistance and abolitionism in the early American republic.Trade ReviewIn addition to a careful social history of this untamable land, Nevius has written a thoughtful reflection on the various 'landscapes of slavery' that spread over early America. He directly engages with the perennial problem of archival silence, reading all kinds of documents-tax records, work contracts, company orders-against the grain. In this way he enables at least some of the people who endured "swamp slavery" to tell us how they survived." —J. M. Opal, Journal of Southern History

Cambridge University Press Connective Creativity
Book SynopsisThe story we often tell about artists is fiction. We tend to imagine the starving artists toiling alone in their studio when, in fact, creativity and imagination are often relational and communal. Through interviews with artistic collectives and first-hand experience building large scale installations in public spaces and at art events like Burning Man, Choi-Fitzpatrick and Hoople take the reader behind the scenes of a rather different art world. Connective Creativity leverages these experiences to reveal what artists can teach us about collaboration and teamwork and focuses in particular on the importance of embracing playfulness, cultivating a bias for action, and nurturing a shared identity. This Element concludes with an invitation to apply lessons from the arts to promote connective creativity across all our endeavors, especially to the puzzle of how we can foster more connective creativity with other minds, including other artificial actors.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Social Work
Book SynopsisBuilding on the successful 1st edition, this reader brings together some of the most significant ideas that have informed social work practice over the last fifty years. At the same time as presenting these foundational extracts, the book includes commentaries that allow the reader to understand the selected extracts on their own terms as well as to be aware of their relations to each other and to the wider social work context. There is no settled view or easy consensus about what social work is and should be, and the ideas reflected in this volume are themselves diverse and complex. The world of social work has changed greatly over the last ten years, and this new edition reflects that change with new material on the decolonisation of social work knowledges, the greater emphasis on inter-disciplinarity and co-production and the new concern for identities.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Spectre of the Other in Jungian
Book SynopsisWinner of the IAJS Book Award 2023 for ''Best Edited Book''Winner of the 2023 Gradiva Award for ''Best Edited Book''This volume explores Jung's theories in relation to the concept of Other and in conjunction with the lived experience of it, while examining current events and cultural phenomena through the lens of Jungian and post-Jungian psychology, sociology, literature, film and philosophy.The contributors examine global expressions of these various viewpoints, disciplines and life experiences and how cultural, political and sociological complexes evoke challenges as well as invitations to the idea of the Other from intersecting and convergent perspectives.The Spectre of the Other in Jungian Psychoanalysisis timely and important reading for Jungian and post-Jungian analysts, therapists, academics, students and creatives.Trade Review'The Spectre of the Other in Jungian Psychoanalysis could not be timelier nor more important. This superb collection of new research dissects Jung’s eurocentrism, diagnoses his racism and repositions his psychoanalysis as uniquely poised to bring transdisciplinary illumination to the Other in a twenty-first century of multiple crises. Drawing on indigenous, artistic, historical and psychological perspectives, The Spectre of the Other is an international volume extending clinical research into the collective. It thereby reinvigorates Jungian studies by enlarging the scope of the field. No serious scholar of psychology and othering can afford to miss it.'Susan Rowland, author of Jungian Arts-based Research and the Nuclear Enchantment of New Mexico (2021)'This bold volume gives flesh and blood specificity to the notion of the Other, a term which can easily feel like an all-purpose nostrum when applied indiscriminately. The insightful contributors to this finely differentiated book enable us to explore the Other as it appears in the creative arts, sociology, psychology and even the ultimate Other, the anus.'Thomas Singer, editor of the award-winning Cultural Complexes and The Soul of America'Open this marvellous book to any page, and you will discover another facet of that protean notion of the Other that you likely have not considered before. These chapters evoke the cultural complexes emergent from contributors from seven countries encompassing intrapsychic, sociocultural, historical and archetypal dimensions. The essential paradox of the Other, in eternal syzygy with the Self, is revealed as both the sine qua non of consciousness and unconscious shadow laden with destructive potential – and as that third which unites these seeming opposites. Illuminating, erudite and crucially relevant to our times, this book is a rich feast for mind, heart and soul.'Frances Hatfield, senior training analyst at the C. G. Jung Institutes of San Francisco and Santa Fe, poetry editor of Jung Journal: Culture and Psyche, and author of Rudiments of Flight'This ground-breaking collection of essays – expertly curated by Marybeth Carter and Stephen Farah – captures the archetypal valence of the pressing struggles and conflicts faced by humanity in the 21st century. No stone is left unturned, as the authors fearlessly tackle wide-ranging topics, detailing how alterity is constellated and expressed by the psyche. The key question readers are forced to ask is: what do we do when we are conscious of how processes of othering materialise? In this regard, The Spectre of the Other in Jungian Psychoanalysis: Political, Psychological and Sociological Perspectives practices what it preaches; it marks a paradigmatic shift in Jungian and post-Jungian studies. While the book explores topics and presents methods that are second nature to the field, it also unapologetically confronts, in equal measure, the very issues that have been ignored and banished to the fringes. By making that which is unconscious, conscious, the book’s ethos is completely aligned with the topic with which it so skilfully engages. Stated another way, this collection will stand the test of time, not only because of its vision and intersectional spirit, but also because it captures where our field has been and points to where it is going – indeed, where it needs to go.'Kevin Lu, PhD, Head of Department, Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex 'This important and innovative collection of chapters inspired by the IAJS international conference held in Cape Town covers a wide range of in-depth perspectives that creatively examine the ever-prescient phenomenology of the Other through three parts: the Transpersonal Other; the Socio-Political Lives of Otherness and the Mythopoetic Other as explored through Film, Art and Literature. Each chapter, written by talented and experienced Jungian analysts, psychotherapists and academics, explores fresh perspectives on the theme of otherness, particularly during times of global crises where blame and scapegoating the Other becomes increasingly visible and open to complex, interdisciplinary and international scrutiny.

Taylor & Francis Hindi Cinema and Pakistan
Book SynopsisEver since the 1947 partition of the Indian subcontinent, Mumbai-based Hindi cinema has been returning compulsively to the idea of Pakistan, sometimes as the desirable other, sometimes as the horrifying antagonist. Hindi Cinema and Pakistan traces the genesis and development of this theme in Hindi cinema in the 1950s, showcasing its relevance as a tool that both reflects and shapes how India sees its neighbour, the IndiaPakistan relationship, and itself.The book is a serious, multi-platform, multi-pronged exploration of the appearances, invocations, representations and treatment of Pakistan and Pakistanis in Hindi cinema. It follows Hindi cinema's efforts to come to terms with the idea' and reality' of Pakistan.Through in-depth analyses of the enmity and rivalry between the two subcontinental nations in Partition films, thrillers, epic war films and sports films, to screen depictionsof the shared cultural past and similarities in films on cross-border love or in films

Taylor & Francis Goas Bom Jesus as Visual Culture
Book SynopsisThis book chronicles the visual history of the Basilica of Bom Jesus, one of the longest-surviving churches from Goaâs Portuguese colonial era. In the sixteenth century, this baroque church in Old Goa was constructed to house the sacred relics of St. Francis Xavier and is emblematic of Goa Dourada or Golden Goa.Despite their early modern origins, monuments like the Basilica continue to influence visual culture that pertains to Goa. Accordingly, this book uncovers the traces of architectural images of Goaâs sixteenth- and seventeenth-century monuments and conducts a genealogical study of how uses of religious architecture shift over time. Thus, even as the Basilica originally functioned to portray or recall a grand empire by evoking the notion of Goa Dourada, its iconicity has been employed in marking Goaâs difference from the rest of India thereafter. By employing an analysis of historical texts, illustrations, photography, film, and pageantry, this volume demonstrates how the image of the Basilica has been employed to create a discourse on Goan identity. In fact, right from the colonial period, when Goa was heralded as the Rome of the East, to the post-Portuguese period, when Goa became an idyllic destination for leisure tourism, architectural images of Bom Jesus have been central in shaping Goaâs identity.Goaâs Bom Jesus as Visual Culture will be useful to students and educators in the fields of architecture, history, anthropology, sociology, history of architecture, and colonial/postcolonial studies. Finally, the long history of a single monument that the book documents highlights how Goans have been shaping their unique culture. At the same time as Goans imbibed Portuguese and other European influences, they also domesticated and remade such colonial heritage in South Asian fashion and, in turn, contributed to global aesthetics.

Every rebellious read aloud includes key questions to spark conversation and action. With Vera whispering in your ear, you’ll feel confident in taking steps toward "activating your young activists." -- Maria Walther * Author of The Ramped-Up Read Aloud and Shake Up Shared Reading *I have spent decades promoting the art and function of read aloud experiences and have been a staunch advocate for revisiting books with a different lens to provide students opportunities to unearth nuance, shift perspective, build empathy, and take action. As I was reading Rebellious Read Alouds I found myself nodding and saying, "amen," a lot. If you believe that small children cannot be part of big conversations, this book is for you. If you find "hushed" topics uncomfortable, this book is for you. If you are searching for books that can spark interest and action for social justice, this book is for you. If you are searching for a way to bring read aloud, deep conversations, big thinking, and the growth of human potential into your classroom while addressing the "have tos" of school, this book is for you. As you read you have Vera there with you, nudging, encouraging, offering scaffolds to help you take the next step. Vera has curated an impressive list of books around 9 themes that are general enough to fit in almost any elementary classroom. She has developed 45 lessons (enough for each week of the school year with a bonus lesson within each theme) that are organized around a simple framework (start small, be consistent, keep constant) that can be generalized to any theme you may choose to pursue. I’ll say it again, this book is for you. -- Lester Laminack * Educator, Author, and Consultant *I will be sharing Vera′s book with all my preservice and early career teachers, who understand the importance of filling their classroom libraries with books that serve as windows, mirrors, and sliding glass doors. Vera empowers us with manageable and engaging ways to use books as the springboard for the essential - though often tricky to start - conversations about race, ability, and so many other areas of identity. She encourages rebellion in the best possible way - to ensure that all children are seen and valued in classrooms. -- Molly Ness * Author of Every Minute Matters, and Think Big With Think Alouds, Grades K-5 *Vera Ahiyya has created something amazing for every stage of the rebellious reader′s heart! The power of a great story is that it can be the catalyst to so much change. In Rebellious Read Alouds, Ahiyya beautifully breaks down stories, lessons, and ideas about books that inspire the most important conversations, the conversations about who we are. The framework of Rebellious Read Alouds effortlessly empowers educators and parents to start using literacy to better understand their world and themselves. A must read for all. -- Juan E. Gonzalez Jr. * Elementary School Teacher, Speaker, and Social Media Content Creator *As I read the manuscript, I kept thinking to myself, this a book teachers need in their hands. So many teachers don’t know how to read and talk about these topics and this is the guide to help them. The breadth of diversity is overflowing, and teachers can follow along with a sample scope and sequence OR pick and choose topics/books as they see fit. Vera’s passion for the subject rings through and her voice is loud and clear. -- Matt Halpern * Education Consultant, Speaker, and Author *One of the most important aspects of professional learning is that the experience not only explains why it’s important to make an instructional shift, but how. Rebellious Read Alouds: Lessons to Invite Conversations About Diversity With Children’s Books is one of those precious gifts for teachers that is both inspirational and practical in a way that is empathetic and responsive to and supportive of the needs of teachers and students. Vera Ahiyya provides the why -- rationale for being rebellious as a teacher and interviews with featured educators – as well as the how, with standards-based read-aloud lessons that show teachers how to make necessary shifts to instructional practices that use a framework of the small, the consistent, and the constant as a scaffold. In these pages, we see what it looks like to partner with parents, administrators, and colleagues along the way, and how to make the journey both enjoyable and transformational for teachers and students as a community of learners. -- Afrika Afeni Mills * DEI Director, Educational Consultant, and author of Open Windows, Open Minds: Developing Antiracist Students *Ready to break free from the confines of what may sometimes seem like stale literature not representative of the world around us, but more importantly the world of our children? The Rebellious Read Aloud is a must-read for anyone and everyone lucky enough to stare into young eyes full of wonderment and a thirst to learn about their peers around them. Ahiyya Vera provides an invitation to venture into what many naively still view as uncharted territory in children’s literature. The Rebellious Read Aloud boldy –and responsibly!- provides title after title of literature that serve as catalysts for dialogue and are rooted in topics that are beautifully a part of our children’s lives: immigration, divorce, religion, LGBTQ+, and others, all while promoting an environment of celebration and appreciation of the beauty of our differences. As global educators, we have the responsibility to interrupt and dispel stereotypes and ignorant ideologies that often run rampant in the world around us, and instead instill awareness, compassion, and acceptance of others so that our children may engage with their community and beyond to make our planet more peaceful, sustainable and equitable. -- Hilda E. Martinez * M.A., NBCT, 2020 San Diego County Teacher of the Year, Early Literacy Resource Teacher *Rebellious Read Alouds is a book that is needed right now and it’s presented in a way that is simple, easy to use and yet, has a strong call to action for the urgency of this work in our world today. Children deserve to have teachers who honor the identity of all children in their classrooms and beyond and the author shows us how this is possible with read aloud books and powerful conversations.. This book is an excellent entry point for brave teachers to do the work. -- Katie Keier * Kindergarten Teacher and co-Author of Catching Readers Before They Fall *This beautiful and impactful guide will change the pedagogical approach of educators worldwide.Vera′s overall theme is to create a true safe space for students and all involved to come face to face with their deepest emotions, fears, and ultimately reflections in the mirror via Read Alouds. By doing this educators, parents, and community members will be challenged to do the same as they learn the importance of taking time to connect with your students, embracing diverse perspectives to inspire change beyond the classroom through creative critical reflection, thanks to this text. -- Darius Phelps * GAEYC 2016 Childcare Giver of the Year, Educator, Writer, Poet, & Illustrator *Vera is the QUEEN of books for a reason! This book is for any teacher that wants to center inclusiveness and diversity, but isn′t always sure where to start.

Palgrave Macmillan The American Success Myth on Film
Book SynopsisIn examining the enduring appeal that rags-to-riches stories exert on our collective imagination, this book highlights the central role that films have played in the ongoing cultural discourse about success and work in America.Trade Review''The American Dream' and its treatment in movies has yet to be dealt with in book length form, which makes this a significant work. It is of a very high quality, well written, and expertly researched.' - Robert Sickels, Professor of Film, Whitman College, USA 'The promise of social mobility is the heart and soul of America's ongoing self-romance, not to mention an obsessive theme of our national cinema. In this lucid and entertaining examination of the filmic success story, Julie Levinson exposes the twinge of self-doubt that underpins the mythology. This is also a particularly timely book given our current economic woes: the question of how such fantasies are maintained (despite all evidence to the contrary) couldn't be more politically pertinent.' - Laura Kipnis, Northwestern University, USA 'This is an excellent book on a compelling and underexamined topic: the myth, or dream, of 'success' in American films. The book is graced with an arresting cover image of Andy Griffith as the egomaniacal entertainer Lonesome Rhodes in Elia Kazan's A Face in the Crowd, staring out at the Manhattan skyline from his luxurious penthouse apartment. Levinson (Babson College) discusses myriad Hollywood films that examine the quest for fame and fortune. She divides the book into five well-argued chapters, beginning with a sharply observed introductory chapter. The following chapters treat the concept of 'moving up' the American corporate ladder, films that document the perils and challenges of the 'corporate workplace,' what happens when and if one reaches the top of the ladder, and 'the glorification of unemployment' (i.e., those who drop out or refuse to become involved in the endless search for power and social status.) Levinson is a stylish, accessible writer, and her text is clear, concise, and well-illustrated.' - W.W.

The world over, they put together highly dexterous performances as they stage and restage changing relations of ruling. They are adept at aligning their social choreographies to shifting historical conditions and cultural tastes. In multiple theatres, they now regularly rehearse the irregular art of being global. Elite schools around the world are positioned at the intersecting pinnacles of various scales, systems and regimes of social, cultural, political and economic power. They have much in common but are also diverse. They illustrate how various modalities of power are enjoyed and put to work and how educational and social inequalities are shaped and shifted. They, thus, speak to the social zeitgeist. This Trade Review“This book is a compelling account of the ultra-serviceability of the English public school ethos and its masculinist, class-ridden and exclusionary practices. … The result is a sociological tour de force. … This is a monograph to savour, even if its main subjects’ selfish and rampant individualism are themselves deeply unappealing.” (Valerie Hey, Comparative Education, January, 2018)Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisWith the globalist project immersed in conflicts and adversity, Post-Colonial Globalisation offers an insight into the actors who animate it and the power dynamics which run through it. Using the law as the prism through which these are examined, and fusing historical with contemporary perspectives, the book contributes to understanding the crisis in which we find ourselves as a moment of both existential danger and an opportunity.This book is in two parts. The first part charters capitalism's historical progression to globalism through the lens of the act of taking. Taking has risen to institutional prominence as a core concept in the legal lexicon of foreign investment protection to denote deprivation of private property. Post-Colonial Globalisation advances a broader notion of taking as a tool of social criticism.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Social and Cultural Anthropology for the 21st
Book SynopsisSocial and Cultural Anthropology for the 21st Century: Connected Worlds is a lively, accessible, and wide-ranging introduction to socio-cultural anthropology for undergraduate students. It draws on a wealth of ethnographic examples to showcase how anthropological fieldwork and analysis can help us understand the contemporary world in all its diversity and complexity.The book is addressed to a twenty-first-century readership of students who are encountering social and cultural anthropology for the first time. It provides an overview of the key debates and methods that have historically defined the discipline and of the approaches and questions that shape it today. In addition to classic research areas such as kinship, exchange, and religion, topics that are pressing concerns for our times are covered, such as climate change, economic crisis, social media, refugees, sexuality, and race. Foregrounding ethnographic stories from all over the world to illustrate global conTrade Review"Marzia Balzani and Niko Besnier have embarked in a most challenging journey: that of writing an introduction to sociocultural anthropology. A discipline that constantly interrogates the fields of power that surround the production of knowledge is difficult to introduce, yet the task needs to be done. Balzani and Besnier speak to the reader in simple terms that explain complexities: they engage with classical themes such as kinship in new ways; they underline process, relations, and mobilities; they address scale from the immediate intimacies of the body to global transnational power, and they do it brilliantly. They tell the story in a clear language, beautifully interlaced with ethnographic cases and historical grounding, without forgetting to present some important theoretical and methodological debates. Social and Cultural Anthropology for the 21st Century is a masterful feat that underscores how anthropology is about exploring the connections that make life possible."Susana Narotzky, University of Barcelona"Anthropology textbooks have all too often relied on discussions primarily of traditional societies for an audience mainly of Anglo-American readers. Social and Cultural Anthropology for the 21st Century: Connected Worlds is expressly designed to avoid both of these pitfalls, and does so admirably, in its discussions of the present and future as much as of the past, and in its vast array of examples from societies across the globe. It is also really interesting and fun to read: I will certainly use it in my own introductory anthropology class."Gordon Mathews, Chinese University of Hong Kong "Over the decades that I’ve been teaching anthropology at university, students at all levels have asked for an introductory text that clearly explains the discipline, its perspectives, practices, and insights. This is the book, leading the pack by a mile. It is authoritative, up to date, engagingly written and strikingly illustrated.The book’s chapters focus on topics long central to the social sciences, among them, kinship, marriage, sex and gender, exchange and gift-giving, nation and state, and rank, caste and class. The book couches an understanding of the history of ideas in contemporary examples that bring these topics to life, making them thinkable and discussable. The book’s style is sure to get readers reflecting and debating, as they convey the combination of observation, contextualization and critical interpretation that is central to anthropology.Written by two anthropologists with extensive research experience in the Pacific, Asia and Western societies, this book will richly reward its readers with an understanding of the discipline."Francesca Merlan, Australian National University"This book is a much-needed and timely introduction to social and cultural anthropology for a new and media-savvy generation of learners. It is accessible and visually attractive, but also suitably and refreshingly challenging. By making global connections and marrying classic themes with contemporary concerns, the authors have brought the subject bang up to date and have provided a compelling introductory textbook for our time."

Book SynopsisHow do we balance the desire for tales of exceptional accomplishment with the need for painful doses of reality? How hard do we work to remember our past or to forget it? These are some of the questions that Jonathan Scott Holloway addresses in this exploration of race memory from the dawn of the modern civil rights era to the present. Relying on social science, documentary film, dance, popular literature, museums, memoir, and the tourism trade, Holloway explores the stories black Americans have told about their past and why these stories are vital to understanding a modern black identity. In the process, Holloway asks much larger questions about the value of history and facts when memories do violence to both.Making discoveries about his own past while researching this book, Holloway weaves first-person and family memories into the traditional third-person historian''s perspective. The result is a highly readable, rich, and deeply personal narrative that will be familiar to some,

Taylor & Francis Inc Developing Healthy Stepfamilies: Twenty Families
Book SynopsisView the inner workings of healthy stepfamilies through the stories of twenty families as they discuss how their households operate. This enlightening book takes a deeper look at what adults and children in stepfamilies say about such issues as discipline, money, family roles and relationships with ex-spouses, and the development of new traditions and rituals. Incorporating actual words of family members, Developing Healthy Stepfamilies shows many ways in which stepfamilies function well through adapting new and different “rules” to fit their circumstances. The book concentrates on positive rather than negative aspects of stepfamily life to help dim the image of stepfamilies as problematic and also to instill hope in would-be stepfamilies by normalizing their differences from biologically based families. Written with the intention of disseminating information and increasing understanding about stepfamily functioning, this book is useful for stepfamilies, their friends and relatives, and professionals such as teachers, clergy, physicians, and counselors. Developing Healthy Stepfamilies draws a colorful picture of the creativity and flexibility such families have brought to their lives and relationships. Emphasizing what works in stepfamilies instead of what does not, the book illustrates the process of integrating a stepfamily, the value of humor and patience, and the richness that can unfold for all members of the family. The author, a family therapist and educator, has drawn together information direct from stepfamily members themselves, providing readers with first-hand knowledge of the daily workings of this fast growing family form. A showcase of stepfamilies that are functioning well, Developing Healthy Stepfamilies helps show would-be stepfamilies that “it can be done.” This is not a book of instructions; it illuminates the many ways in which stepfamilies can and do function. Some of the topics covered in the book include: definitions of a stepfamily a historical review demographics suggestions for new stepfamilies from established ones genograms of the families participating in the study As a group, stepfamilies are different from biologically based families in form and function. These differences are important for the families, and for those working with them, to recognize and accept as normal. Although intended to be an informative text for professionals and students in fields such as counseling and social work, this book also serves as a source of hope and encouragement for stepfamilies and prospective stepfamilies themselves.

In reality, however, it is often the host societies and their public policies that are at fault. In this comprehensive global history, Alan Mayne explores the evolution and meaning of the word 'slum', from its origins in London in the early nineteenth century to its use to describe favela communities in the lead up to the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games in 2016. The word 'slum' has been extensively used for two hundred years to condemn and disperse poor communities. Mounting a case for the word's elimination from the language of progressive urban social reform, Slums is a must-read book for all those interested in social history and the importance of these vibrant and vital neighbourhoods.Trade Review'A tonic and rousing critique of the bad freight carried by the concept of "slum". Although an obvious offender in my own work, I'm entirely convinced by Mayne's passionate polemic. No more "s" word from me.' - Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums; 'Mayne lacerates ... [the] war on the poor, with sweeping historical critique, instead demonstrating how the logics and policies that keep the "poor" unsettled, simultaneously pacified and volatile, constitute a deception, covering over the distorted productivity of inequality, spatial engineering, and the reliance upon those consigned to the margins to regenerate new forms of sociality in face of denigration.' - Professor AbdouMaliq Simone, Goldsmiths, University of London; 'Alan Mayne is a leading authority on the history of "slums". In his new book he turns his attention to the repetitions and continuities in society's attitudes and policies towards "slums" worldwide over the past 200 years, from 19th-century Britain to 21st-century Global South. His challenging, forthright book exposes how our continued use of the word "slum" is misleading, deceitful and downright wrong.' - Professor Richard Dennis, University College London

Emerald Publishing Limited Social Movements and Media
Book SynopsisSponsored by the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media Sociology section of the American Sociological Association (CITAMS), this volume focuses on media and social movements. Contributing authors draw on cases as diverse as the Harry Potter Alliance to youth oriented, non-profit educational organizations, in order to assess systematically how media environments, systems, and usage affect collective action in the 21st century. The volume demonstrates that the study of media and social movements has developed into a vibrant sub-field stretched across Communication Studies, Political Science, and Sociology, and illustrates the need for serious interdisciplinary research. Chapters in the volume reinforce the need to examine many kinds of media (such as fiction) for social movements, particularly in terms of recruitment and framing. They show the critical importance of connecting classic and contemporary social movement research when trying to understand topics such as recruitment, identity, and discourse, even when these are playing out in the digital world. Chapters explore the difficulties that organizations face in organizing whether or not they are primarily offline or online; the ways that digital media usage affects various organizational functions and effectiveness; and the importance of examining the role of youth in social movements across all of these topics.Trade ReviewSponsored by the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media Sociology section of the American Sociological Association, this volume contains eight essays on social movements and mass media. Sociology, media studies, education, and other scholars from the US address the influence of mass media on activist recruitment, including the power of story and the relevance of family, friends, and school for youth mobilization; discursive activism and the implications of online participation and identity, including the #YesAllWomen hashtag and its interaction with media and blogs, and the civic identities of youth online; and organizational dynamics in the digital age, with discussion of youth nonprofits, the relevance of leadership in the anti-genetically modified organisms movement, and the use of media tools and participant inclusion in youth-oriented organizations and factors influencing organizational beliefs about effectiveness. -- Annotation ©2018 * (protoview.com) *'The main audience for this volume is social movement scholars or those studying movements and civic engagement.

Emerald Publishing Limited Gender Inequality and its Implications on
Book SynopsisGender inequality has wide-ranging and adverse implications for all of society. For this reason, the United Nations has made it a top priority to address this issue through the Sustainable Development Goals, which state that gender equality is not only a fundamental human right but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world. Gender Inequality and its Implications on Education and Health explains the different implications of gender inequality and finds solutions to our most pressing issues. The authors of these collected studies show that though in various contexts around the globe, girls and women are discouraged and prevented from receiving quality education, proper health care, women empowerment and social justice, if this exclusion is eliminated it produces many additional socio-economic gains that benefit entire societies. Focusing largely on India to explore firstly the implications of gender inequality on education and health and then gender inequality and its implications to other SDGs, the chapters extend globally to analyse countries from Asia, Australia, Africa, and Europe. Raising awareness among stakeholders and institutions to recognise the importance of gender inequality throughout the world and its various implications – especially on education and health – Gender Inequality and its Implications on Education and Health provides strategies to achieve gender equality.Table of ContentsSection I.

Emerald Publishing Limited Fractal Leadership: Ideologisation from the 1960s
Book SynopsisFractal Leadership investigates leadership construction in social movements afforded (or intensified) by algorithm-based flows of information and viral affectivity. The book illustrates how a somewhat amorphous structure is replicated from an intimate, localised community level, all the way up to the global level with swift, almost breath-taking repetitions over and over again, from one scale to another, thus carrying new forms of leaders to sudden public mass-following, but just as quickly sweeping them away. Including original primary research with fieldwork from Extinction Rebellion and Black Lives Matter in juxtaposition with archival research of the New Left movements of the 1960s, Karatzogianni and Matthews explore how the digital transformation of temporality impacts on the ideologisation process, movement organisational structure, as well as the implicated biolabour process, culminating on the fractalisation of movement leadership and its devastating implications for class formation, and the authoritarian turn in global politics. Fractal Leadership serves as a point of reference for those interested in tracing the development of leadership in social movements from the 1960s to today.Table of ContentsChapter 1. Introduction Chapter 2. Movement Leadership in Context: 1960s to Present Day Chapter 3. Ideologisation, Organisational Structure and Biotech-Labour Processes in Fractal Leadership Emergence Chapter 4. Internal Leadership: Form and Mediation Chapter 5.

Veritas Publications Whiddin to the Gauras / Talking to Our Own:
Book SynopsisThis book is the result of a partnership research initiative between Limerick Travellers Development Group and Mary Immaculate College, Limerick in which four Traveller women were trained to conduct a qualitative educational study with Traveller children. Through a series of one-to-one interviews, a small group of primary school Traveller children were invited to chat about home and school. The Traveller childrens experience of school was a particular focus of the study.In Part One the Traveller researchers talk about their experience of participating in this unique project. Part Two covers the setting up of the research programme, the development of the process and a description of the study. Finally Part Three presents the research data, followed by an interpretative commentary and offers a series of recommendations.What is outlined in this report represents a small but significant beginning in the training of a group of local Traveller researchers. It is hoped that in making the limitations and successes of the process available to a public audience, other Traveller Community Development groups may be encouraged to engage with similar educational research endeavours.
