Penn State University The Private Melville
Book SynopsisTrade Review“The Private Melville is a delight to read. Wise, learned, witty, and thoughtful, it moves very smoothly even when it is covering tangled biographical and scholarly ground. In fact, it doesn’t read like a scholarly book at all, even though it is based on an extremely close and detailed and almost loving reading of sources, interpretations, and archival alluvia.”—Giles Gunn,University of California, Santa Barbara“The Private Melville is personal, even private (as the topic mandates), and idiosyncratic; it is opinionated and provocative. It contains no trace of fashionable jargon: where are the Poetics of Privacy? Instead, it proceeds from manuscript evidence and from texts of literary works. Young addresses a broad audience that will be eager to follow the seemingly random, indirect probings of a fine intellect in intense pursuit of disparate phases of Melvillean experience.”—Hershel Parker,University of Delaware

Penn State University Downsizing the State Privatization and the Limits of Neoliberal Reform in Mexico
Book SynopsisBeginning in 1983, the Mexican government implemented one of the most extensive programs of market-oriented reform in the developing world. This book examines a key element of this reform program: the privatization of public firms. MacLeod highlights the difficulties of linking market reforms to improved public welfare.Trade Review“I very much like this book. It is the best account of Mexican privatization I have read. It is a masterful account of how the Mexican bureaucracy operates and has fantastic data to support its overall points.”—Miguel Angel Centeno,Princeton University“This is sociology of development as it should be practiced: close to the ground and unafraid of complexities.”—Alejandro Portes,Princeton University“There are few books on the contemporary Mexican political economy that combine the theoretical sophistication, analytical insight, and wealth of information that this study brings to its exploration of privatization and of the implications of neoliberal reform for state-market relations. I’m not aware of any book that deals with the Mexican privatization process at this level; in this sense it is in a class by itself.”—Nora Hamilton,University of Southern California “The book is not only about privatization in Mexico; it is about the significance of privatization in Mexico, and how to understand state-market relations more generally. The book is an impressive achievement.”—F. S. Weaver Choice“Dag MacLeod has produced an excellent book. It is obviously well planned and well rehearsed. . . . He has managed to capture the sentiments of many ordinary Mexicans during the past decade. . . . MacLeod has carefully turned the very difficult theme of private-public sector linkages, and its contradictions, into a readable and well crafted series of case studies.”—Lorenzo Covarrubias Contemporary Sociology“These two monographs on government-business relations in contemporary Mexico (Macleod’s Downsizing the State and Shadlen’s Democratization Without Representation) share the same publisher as well as the virtues of careful research and documentation, creative synthesis of theoretical strands from political science, economic sociology and new institutional economics, an explicit comparative angle and accessibility for non-area specialists. These books can be confidently recommended as texts in graduate courses on comparative politics, sociology of economic organization, business management and public administration.”—Kun-Chin Lin Political Studies ReviewTable of ContentsContents List of Tables and Figures Acknowledgments Abbreviations 1.

Penn State University Power from Experience Urban Popular Movements in
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Haber’s book is an outstanding contribution to our understanding of social movements in Mexico and beyond. His historical summary of Mexican politics in a remarkably brief fifty pages, his methodological discussion, and his review of the literature are excellent and all written in particularly lucid style. Most important, Haber’s focus on the impact of social movements on electoral politics (and the impact of electoral politics on social movements) is illuminating. His insistence that the ‘story of movements is incomplete without attention’ to the fact that ‘movements must survive in the world as it is’ is, in itself, a major contribution, along with his recognition of the tensions between political and material survival and ‘visionary ideals.'”—Judith Adler Hellman,York University“Power from Experience is a tour de force. Haber provides a compelling and highly significant analysis of the contribution of social movements among the urban poor in Mexico to that country’s transition to democracy. Haber’s unique access to all levels of two leading social movement organizations allows him to combine the ‘experience of movement’ with more traditional power analysis to great effect. In the early twenty-first century, when movements of the poor are often suggested to be linked to insurgency or global terrorism, it is of urgent importance to consider Haber’s work, which masterfully illuminates how social movements of the urban poor instead moved Mexico towards democracy. Experts, students, and general readers will have much to learn from reading this book.”—Vivienne Bennett,California State University, San Marcos“[Haber] carefully relates social movements to social theory within the Mexican context. This analysis helps one understand how the Mexican political system both withstood popular movements and was ultimately (if only partially) transformed by them.”—R. E. Hartwig Choice“[Haber] carefully relates social movements to social theory within the Mexican context. This analysis helps one understand how the Mexican political system both withstood popular movements and was ultimately (if only partially) transformed by them.”—R. E. Hartwig Choice“Despite the ten years or more of research that went into its making, the book is pleasingly slim. In sum, this is a good book on social movements in Latin America. That makes it rare enough to be well worth reading.”—Joseph Foweraker The AmericasTable of ContentsContents Preface and Acknowledgments List of Acronyms Introduction: Introducing the Terrain of Struggle1.

Penn State University Sparks of Liberty
Book SynopsisTrade Review“One of the most important lessons still to be learned from a study of the Cold War period concerns the ambiguities and dilemmas associated with our quasi-governmental efforts to break through the Soviet monopoly of propaganda and information. Gene Sosin, in Sparks of Liberty, has provided a useful resource for future studies of this problem.”—Marshall D. Shulman,Columbia University“Gene Sosin has produced an animated and readable history of Radio Liberty. He enlivens the story with many deftly written thumbnail sketches of staff members and contributors, providing a virtual who's who of American intellectual life and the Soviet dissident and émigré intelligentsia. It is fortunate for the historical record that Sosin has written this book.”—Robert V. Daniels,University of Vermont“A well-documented, lively account of one of the most fascinating chapters in the history of the Cold War. Gene Sosin's story of Radio Liberty is a major contribution to the annals of the ideological war between the United States and the Soviet Union that was waged from Stalin's death in 1953 to the dissolution of the Soviet Empire in 1991.”—Maurice Friedberg,University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Penn State University Out of the Shadows Political Action and the
Book SynopsisBringing together leading scholars of the informal economy and informal politics, this book addresses how globalization has influenced local efforts to resolve political and economic needs - and how these seemingly separate issues are indeed deeply related.Trade Review“With few exceptions, scholars from Left to Right have presented simplistic accounts of the political ramifications of economic informality in the underdeveloped world. Such depictions have been curiously out of sync with the salutary influence of the ‘bringing the state back in’ scholarship of the last couple of decades or so. This volume makes a crucial contribution to the scholarly and policy literatures by emphasizing the embeddedness of informal economies in state-society arrangements that cut across local, national, and transnational terrains of the Latin American and global political economies. The volume represents essential reading for scholars, policy specialists, students, and others who seek to make sense of the politico-social consequences of deepening inequality and poverty in the contemporary world.”—Richard Tardanico,Florida International University“On the whole, the contributions to Out of the Shadows are persuasively argued and provide excellent empirical material on grassroots informal activities across Latin America.”—Tina Hilgers Latin American Research Review“Out of the Shadows should be a central reference for those interested in the grassroots reality of neoliberalism and democracy, and its chapter by Centeno and Portes should be read by anyone interested in Latin American economies.”—Tina Hilgers Latin American Research ReviewTable of ContentsContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroductionPatricia Fernández-Kelly1.
