Taylor & Francis Ltd Language Labour and Migration Studies in
Book SynopsisLanguage, Labour and Migration explores two fundamental aspects of the migrant experience through a multi-disciplinary lens which combines the research of leading academics at the cutting edge of their fields. This latest volume from the centre for the Study of Migration brings together the work of anthropologists, economists, geographers, historians, political scientists and medical practitioners. Essays explore topics which include the role of mother tongue as a bridge to assimilation, the racialization of immigrants and refugees through language, the patterns of resistance undertaken by lascars, the experience of black British seamen in the eighteenth century, health advocacy in the twentieth century and the way in which cyber-space is being used to rediscover ethnic identity in the twenty-first century. Other essays examine Chinese labour in France during the First world war, employment opportunities for those deficient in the majority language and poverty in old age. All providTrade Review’Can greater toleration and integration of immigrants in Britain arise if we open our society to the voices of others? This seems like a reasonable proposition. However, what if the majority receives these voices as noise, an unintelligible and alien sound? In these pages Anne Kershen allows the previously-muted sounds of Yiddish-speakers, Syletis, Welsh, Irish, Germans, Lascars and Black Jacks (African mariners) to be heard as voices, perhaps for the first time for many readers. This pioneering collection shows how mother tongues can sometimes act as a bridge to acceptance and mobility, but often end as a cul de sac where only the sounds of silence, isolation and reluctant conformity are heard.’ Robin Cohen, University of Warwick, UK ’This wide-ranging collection of essays views the vicissitudes of ethnicity and race in modern Britain through the twin prisms of labour and language. Lively, engaging and richly documented, they move the discussion of how minority groups respond to challenging circumstances to a new level of sophistication and complexity.’ Professor Todd Endelman, University of Michigan, USA 'Perhaps its strongest point is the way it illustrates the breadth of issues surrounding the use of language as a tool for communication. Another strength of the book is its ability to tie together cultural, economic and political themes. Overall it is an important book given today's political, economic and cultural climate. Migration is set to increase and it is vital for us to gain a better understanding of these issues. This book acts as an important first step in doing so. The variety of illustrative examples also make it a fascinating read.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd Public Participation and Innovations in Community
Book SynopsisComprised of a series of national case studies, this book critically examines initiatives in public participation and their relationship to developments in community governance. As such, the case studies enable national perspectives to be applied to crucial features of modern public policy and politics. Focusing on case studies in areas which are undergoing major social and institutional transformation and/or which raise particular issues because of the marginal position of the areas within their nation-states, the book also concerns itself with developments in Western European countries and why people should logically support some but not other initiatives in public participation. This book will be very useful for students and academics in areas such as politics, public administration, social policy and sociology. It should also be of interest to local activists such as councillors, members of pressure groups and those concerned about modern trends in democracy.Trade Review’With British electoral turnouts falling, more people turning to forms of direct action, and talk of a crisis of democracy this book, charting developing patterns of participation among a wide range of polities, could hardly be more timely. Peter McLaverty provides an illuminating theoretical context in which to examine one of the key developments of contemporary politics.’ John Kingdom, Sheffield Hallam University, UK ’...the collection provides an interesting and occasionally provocative insight into the imperatives for and reactions to public participation initiatives...this is an interesting collection, which will be of relevance to politicians, professionals and community activists concerned with public participation and democracy.’ Local Government Studies '...this book is worth buying on the part of a university library, for its empirical material should be useful...the particular cases are rich and intriguing...'

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Formulation of Local Housing Strategies A
Book SynopsisHousing provision is a major dilemma for local authorities. There is currently a huge demand for more housing, while increasing environmental, economic and political pressures must be considered when local authorities develop their policies. This remarkable volume investigates how local authorities formulate their housing strategies. It questions whether the local authority can be seen as a single entity in terms of housing or whether it is fragmented into separate departments. Incorporating in-depth empirical research from England and Wales, the book discusses whether the process of developing housing policy and allocating land needs to be more integrated, and whether key players such as speculative house-builders should be involved in the development of policy. Analyzing which information sources influence the local authority's land allocations and housing strategies, the volume debates whether they provide the most useful data and suggests alternative information sources that mTrade Review’There is a growing realization that in order to develop effective housing strategies local authorities, in their enabling role, need to understand the housing market in which they operate. This book provides an excellent analysis of the extent to which local housing strategies take account of local housing markets, together with an examination of the inter-relationships between housing and planning departments in devising and implementing such strategies. With its examination of current trends in private sector house building, it will be of great interest to academics and practitioners concerned with this vital area of contemporary policy.’ Alan Hooper, Professor of Housing and Planning, Cardiff University, UK 'An excellent analysis gives perspective for rational sustainable housing policies.' Built Environment 'Chris Nicol's new book is a clearly written guide to many of the conceptual and practical matters associated with the formularation of housing strategies within the English context...therefore a useful practical guide that can inform officers embarking on housing stategy development.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Role of Political Culture in Iranian
Book SynopsisThe analysis of the impediments to political development is one of the most important discussions which has major theoretical and political consequences. This analysis has been controversial and many different aspects have been introduced as elements for political underdevelopment. In this study, Dal Seung Yu takes culture, a key element in this discussion, and explains the major cultural impediments to political development in Iran. He focuses on the historical attitudes of people towards the political management of the society and the effect these attitudes have on slowing the development of this political system in the society. Those concerned with Iran, the Middle East and political culture will be extremely interested in this provocative text.Trade Review’...an interesting, thought-provoking book...a book worthy of serious attention.’ DemocratizationTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: Theoretical basis and conceptual framework.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Housing Change in East and Central Europe
Book SynopsisTen years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, patterns of change to the former communist nations of Europe are now discernible in a way that was impossible to see in the initial years. This insightful book focuses on the case of changes in housing based on evidence collected from across the Central and Eastern European region. The volume adopts a conceptual framework and provides cross-regional analysis, amongst which is situated a series of more focused case studies. Issues examined include the consequences of the rapid privatization of state rental housing including the emergence of ''super-owner-occupied'' countries, dramatic changes in urban structure and evidence that housing, having been the shock absorber against which wider economic restructuring has occurred, now faces a whole series of deferred problems. The enthusiasm with which the market economy was initially embraced must now be tempered by a more sober assessment of what in reality has happened.Trade Review’...this volume provides sobering lessons in what to do and not do in transforming any state-directed housing system into a market-based system. The volume should be on the shelf of all housing analysts and policy-makers in both the developed and developing worlds and in international agencies dealing with housing programmes.’ Professor Larry S.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Setting the Agenda for Global Peace Conflict and
Book SynopsisAnna Snyder provides a detailed account of the challenges women representatives in non-governmental organizations (NGOs) faced in building bridges across diverse ethnic, racial, national, regional, and ideological backgrounds at the 4th United Nations (UN) Conference on Women. This book traces the process by which women's peace groups set an agenda for global policies in the area of women and armed conflict. Setting the Agenda for Global Peace shows how NGOs use conflict to develop transnational social movements and to build consensus around issues of global concern. Using this conference as a case study, Snyder finds three purposes for social movement conflict: contention arising from policy development; deep-rooted historical conflict; and conflicts over NGO network priorities. Drawing together feminist, conflict resolution, and social movement theories, this comprehensive text analyzes the large scale decision making processes for NGOs and points towards future directions for conflict resolution and consensus building.Trade Review'This book provides a fascinating account and analysis of what happens when women across the world try to develop policies to advance peace. Anna Snyder honestly faces the difficult realities of using consensual processes to forge agreements among women in diverse non-governmental organizations with unequal power and whose members differ in culture and historical experiences. Most significantly, with enlightening specificity, she presents effective ways to deal constructively with the inevitable conflicts that arise in these increasingly important efforts.' Louis Kriesberg, Maxwell Professor Emeritus of Social Conflict Studies, Syracuse University, USA 'Setting the Agenda for Global Peace explores one of the most important problems faced by those organizing for social change: How do groups overcome their many differences in order to mobilize unified movements for social justice? Anna Snyder's rich accounts help illuminate the ways that activists expressed their conflicts in the course of organizing around the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women, and her analysis integrates theory and research on conflict resolution to assess the relationships between conflicts and coalition building. In the process, she presents a detailed and insightful look at some of the social processes that are subsumed under the amorphous label of "globalization." This book is essential reading for students and scholars of all social movements and conflicts (not just transnational ones) and for practitioners seeking to build coalitions across class, culture, race, and other differences.' Professor Jackie Smith, State University New York, Stony Brook, USA 'This lively and creative ethnography follows activists from three regions as they participate in the development of a global women's peace movement. The analysis highlights moments when individual agency and the strategic efforts of activists are effective, but also illuminates how structural inequalities can undermine coTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; Stories from transnational peacemakers: an introduction to the organizations; Coalition consensus building: an experiment in transnational decision making; Peacemakers in conflict; challenges to the dominant agenda; Transnational activist conflict resolution: dialogue for deep-rooted conflict; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Elderly Legal and Ethical Issues in
Book SynopsisAging is a public health priority that is becoming increasingly important in both developed and less developed nations, with individual health care providers and law-makers each facing difficult ethical and policy dilemmas. The complex issues physicians deal with include informed consent and patient decision-making capacity, use of advance care planning and decision-making by family and medical staff, and withdrawing and withholding life-sustaining interventions. Broader questions include: has aging been over medicalized? Is it ethical for older patients to receive less medical care than younger ones, through unspoken practice or formal rationing? Is there inevitable conflict between the generations over scarce medical resources? How should physician, patient and family confront end-of-life decisions? How have different nations responded to increasing numbers of the elderly? Have social values changed as to family responsibility and individual autonomy?

Taylor & Francis Ltd New Critical Writings in Political Sociology
Book SynopsisThe first volume of the series covers the key themes of political sociology as these have emerged in the course of the (sub-)discipline''s development: state formation; legitimation; power; regulation, and inequality. The widening of the focus of political sociology from the nation-state and from models of power based on agents'' wills and explicit agendas is reflected in the selection. The volume includes both ''standard'' and highly-influential contributions - such as Elias on violence, Habermas on legitimation crisis or Lukes on power - and works that are perhaps less well known, but which represent a representative cross-section of themes and debates in the area. The historical formation of the state and its shifting spatial reach are covered in the first and final sections respectively. In between, both substantial issues - e.g. the changing nature of social policy and welfare regimes - and a wide range of theoretical and conceptual issues - are discussed by leading representativeTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; Part I State Formation: Civilization and violence: on the state monopoly of physical violence and its infringements, Norbert Elias; Entanglements of European cities and states, Charles Tilly; The production of legal identities proper to states: the case of the permanent family surname, James C.

Book SynopsisIn the third and final volume of this series, we examine the implications of the accelerating globalization process for the nation-state. Are globalization, the rise of regional and international institutions, and the international agreements on human rights actually reducing and transforming state sovereignty? Clearly ethnic, racial, and religious identities remain salient, but how do they correspond to, intersect with, and overflow continuous nation-state spaces that are demarcated by legally recognized borders? In what conditions do democratic state-building projects actually enhance political, civil, and social rights, and when do they tend to contribute to the consolidation of elite power? Should democratic forces put their faith in a cosmopolitan vision of global citizenship, especially when they tackle quintessentially international and transnational problems like peace, aboriginal rights, and the protection of the environment?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Christianity The Library of Essays on Sexuality
Book SynopsisFor two millennia Christianity has embraced fairly consistent views of human sexuality. Today, there exist more varied outlooks on the subject. This volume on Christianity in the The Library of Essays on Sexuality and Religion series overviews the contrasting Christian perceptions of sexuality. Part 1 includes a number of previously published articles that are theological in nature and present biblical interpretations of sexuality. Here, several Christian voices are permitted to speak from their varied perspectives, both conservative and liberal. Part 2 features contributions focusing on the Christian tradition of celibacy and asceticism. Part 3 surveys scholarly work emphasising the relationship between sexuality, gender and patriarchy. Part 4 offers academic interpretations of Christian expressions of sexuality through the mediums of worship, ritual and the sacraments. The final part peruses contemporary contestations of conventional Christian views. This is undertaken by presentingTrade Review'... the present volume will bring the scholarly study of sexuality and religion to a wider readership.'

Book SynopsisThe poor economic performance of some African countries since independence has been a major concern to both African leaders and policy makers. This volume, which draws together contributions from academics based in Africa and its diaspora, situates the continent within its historic and socio-political background: from the 1960s, the decade of independence, through to its development outlook as the new millennium unfolds. It examines a broad range of contemporary issues -- from development and culture to linguistics and is unique in identifying and examining issues that are common both to Africa and the diaspora.Trade Review’This challenging book calls for a fresh perspective on Africa in its interrelations with the African diaspora, combining development studies and political economy with post-colonial theory. It invites us to reconsider the nature of African modernity and the African future.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Phobic Geographies The Phenomenology and
Book SynopsisDespite recent estimates that there are currently 10 million people in the UK suffering from phobias, there is a substantial and conspicuous gap in existing academic literature and research on this topic. This book addresses this gap in relation to geography literature, but also extending beyond this field to connect with a wide range of academics, health professionals and phobic ''others'' whose ideas are (re)formed by fear. In doing so, it provides non-clinical, specifically geographical insights into phobia, of relevance for its sufferers and expands human geographical understandings of the relations between gender, embodiment, space and mental health, via a study of agoraphobia. This book argues that a critical geographic perspective is better placed to take account of the importance of wider social contexts and relations, and can give a fully spatialised account of the disorder more faithful to the way sufferers actually describe their experiences. By drawing attention to some Trade Review'Joyce Davidson provides a powerful and highly original interpretation of phobias, and at the same time helps all of us to think afresh about ordinary, everyday experiences at the boundaries between our selves and our environments. By exploring phobic experiences, Davidson sheds new light on what it means to be a gendered, embodied and situated subject.' Professor Liz Bondi, The University of Edinburgh, UK 'This book does a wonderful job in weaving together a sophisticated theoretical framework with the voices and experiences of women. Each enriches the other in ways that will surely make a creative contribution to the work of a wide range of readers.'
