    3 in stock

    Book SynopsisâœContrary to common claims about the absence of individualism in early China and its supposed reification in âthe West,â both the Western and Chinese traditions have historically been characterized by diverse and constantly evolving attitudes toward the individual. This book serves as an important corrective to monolithic or essentializing accounts of early Chinese thought, and the narrative concerning the evolution of the concept of the individual in early China is an interesting and novel one. It will appeal widely to people working on early Chinese thought and comparative religion more broadly.â âEdward Slingerland, University of British Columbia. âœThere is a great deal of resistance to the very applicability of the concept of individualism in early China. In this impressively ambitious project, Erica Brindley succeeds in deploying the concept to the understanding of early Chinese thought. In exploring the emergence of and response to distinctively Chinese forms of individuals, sh

    Book SynopsisWhat happens to youthful idealism as people leave their youth behind? ...Where do young revolutionaries go when the revolution doesn't happen? This book demonstrates that the students of the sixties generation outgrew their political ideals and channeled their energies into building lucrative careers and accumulating material goods.Trade Review"'The Big Chill' told only half the story of where Sixties activists ended up. Whalen and Flacks... honestly chronicle the other half."—Abbie Hoffman"Whalen and Flacks are true Sixties sociologists—hip white knights who ride out to slay the ideal-crushing dragon of ‘The Big Chill.’ In all, a heart-on-the-sleeve, hopeful study that should appeal to social psychologists and Sixties sympathizers."—Kirkus Reviews"In the first systematic study of the sequels to New Left radicalism, Whalen and Flacks bring alive the real choices of real activists. This is a lucid and enlightening book, full of stimulating ideas about continuities and fragilities in American radicalism."—Todd Gitlin, author of The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage

  • The Widowed Self  The Older Womans Journey

    MP-WLU Wilfrid Laurier Uni The Widowed Self The Older Womans Journey

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisTrade ReviewDeborah van den Hoonaard has succeeded in combining sociological theory with her use of autobiographical accounts to produce an accessible, refreshingly jargon free insight into the lives of those under investigation here.... It is a pleasure to read a book about olderwomenand widowhood, which is not primarily depressing and doom laden.... I would strongly recommend it for students of gerontology as an excellent example of the successful intersection of theory and methodology, symbolic interaction and qualitative research. However, the special strength of this book is that it also speaks to older widowed women and their families in a language that is accessible and meaningful with a story that has true relevance to their lives.'' -- Kate Davidson, University of Surrey, England``By allowing widows to express their ownstories in their ownway, this book significantly expands our knowledge of the experience of the loss of a spouse. Importantly,we learn that widowhood is not just about loss but about the possibility for growth through diminishment and the strength of the human spirit. We also learn that the experience of widowhood initiates changes in the entire biography of a person, that is, in all areas of life, including relationships with men and family, money, community, and religion. Dr. Kestin van den Hoonaard provides us with both a scholarly work and a very practical source of healing.... This book gives widows the freedom to travel their own journey through grief and hopefully to a new self.'' -- Gary M. Kenyon, St. Thomas University, New Brunswick``Sociologists will find an excellent methodological appendix and a solid theoretical foundation of symbolic interactionism.'' -- Helena Z. Lopata, Loyola University Chicago``Selected features of this book, such as the way it enables widows to give voice to their own experiences, and its recognition of the important larger social context of 'community' in shaping the context of widowhood, are noteworthy.... This book contributes to our understanding of diversity in older women's experiences of loss of a spouse in later life and of how women understand and renegotiate their own lives in widowhood.'' -- Anne Martin-Matthews, University of British ColumbiaTable of Contents The Widowed Self: The Older Woman's Journey through Widowhood by Deborah Kestin van den Hoonaard Acknowledgements Introduction Part One: Embarking on the Journey The End of the Old Way of Life The Journey Begins Part Two: Experiencing Relationships They Have Their Own Life: Relationships with Children Relationships with Friends Part Three: Discovering New Paths Speaking of Money Connections to the Community Conclusion: Discovering New Paths Part Four Appendix A: Methodology Appendix B: Interview Guide Bibliography Index

    Book SynopsisA micro-community approach to education with vision and values The U.S. education system has remained somewhat static as the world changes furiously around it. The Basic School: A Community for Learning offers a model for the future. The classroom and by extension, the school is positioned as a little community focused on learning. Teachers are empowered with real leadership, parents are partners, resources are rich, and the curriculum is coherent and centralized. This book describes how to bring this dream-school into reality through a series of small steps forward that, over time, become a journey through progress.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments vii Trustees of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching xiv Preface xv The Vision of the Basic School xxi Prologue: A New Beginning 3 I The School as Community.

  • Transitional Justice and Development  Making

    Social Science Research Council Transitional Justice and Development Making

    Book SynopsisAs developing societies emerge from legacies of conflict and authoritarianism, they are frequently beset by poverty, inequality, weak institutions, broken infrastructure, poor governance, insecurity, and low levels of social capital. These countries also tend to propagate massive human rights violations, which displace victims who are marginalized, handicapped, widowed, and orphaned--in other words, people with strong claims to justice. Those who work with others to address development and justice often fail to supply a coherent response to these concerns. The essays in this volume confront the intricacies--and interconnectedness--of transitional governance issues head on, mapping the relationship between two fields that, academically and in practice, have grown largely in isolation of one another. The result of a research project conducted by the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ), this book explains how justice and recovery can be aligned not only in theory but also in practice, among both people and governments as they reform.Table of ContentsTable of Contents: 9 Acknowledgments11 Introduction Incorporating Transitional Justice into the Response to Displacement Roger Duthie37 Chapter 1 Contributing to Durable Solutions: Transitional Justice and the Integration and Reintegration of Displaced Persons Roger Duthie65 Chapter 2 Addressing Concerns about Transitional Justice in Displacement Contexts: A Humanitarian Perspective Bryce Campbell85 Chapter 3 Protection in the Past Tense: Restitution at the Juncture of Humanitarian Response to Displacement and Transitional Justice Rhodri C.

  • Making Trouble  Surrealism and the Human Sciences

    Prickly Paradigm Press, LLC Making Trouble Surrealism and the Human Sciences

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisSurrealism was not merely an artistic movement to its adherents but an instrument of knowledge, an attempt to transform the way we see the world by unleashing the unconscious as a radical, new means of constructing reality. Born out of the crisis of civilization brought about by World War I, it presented a sustained challenge to scientific rationalism as a privileged mode of knowing. In certain ways, surrealism's critique of white, Western civilization anticipated many later attempts at producing feminist and postcolonial epistemologies. With Making Trouble, sociologist and cultural historian Derek Sayer explores what it might mean to take surrealism's critique of civilization seriously. Drawing on a remarkable range of sources, Sayer first establishes surrealism as an important intellectual antecedent to the study of the human sciences today. He then makes a compelling and well-written argument for rethinking surrealism as a contemporary methodological resource for all those who still look to the human sciences not only as a way to interpret the world, but also to change it.
