Book SynopsisExplores the ways in which visual imagery was used for animal advocacy campaigns in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the ways in which these images were created, circulated, and consumed in a wide range of cultural contexts. Trade Review“Cronin’s innovative and compelling study offers powerful insights about cultural production and the evolution of animal advocacy on both sides of the Atlantic. Art for Animals is a welcome contribution to the literature on animal studies and will appeal to students of visual culture, art history, and social movements as well.”—Amy Nelson,coeditor of Other Animals: Beyond the Human in Russian Culture and History“A welcome and much-needed addition to the growing literature on animals and art. In particular, Cronin’s book, which is focused on the historical period when the first wave of the animal protection movement emerged, demonstrates the role that visual media played in the development of that movement. But the book is far more than a historical snapshot. Activists’ use of representations of animals—and animal suffering—is just as important (if not more so) in the modern animal rights movement of today. Art for Animals will appeal to anyone with an interest in how people have worked to combat animal abuse in the past, and how they do so today.”—Margo DeMello,author of Mourning Animals: Rituals and Practices Surrounding Animal Death“Cronin skillfully weaves together a history of animal advocacy with fascinating primary source images that show the imaginative range of advocacy groups in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain, along with the social resistance that sometimes accompanied these efforts at public education. Humane societies today struggle with showing animal abuse when approaching supporters; Art for Animals provides a timely occasion for further thinking about these visual challenges for both animal studies scholars and advocates.”—Ann-Janine Morey,author of Picturing Dogs, Seeing Ourselves: Vintage American Photographs“In this important and unique contribution to the animal advocacy movement, Cronin provides a wealth of images drawn from extensive research in support of her claim that animal advocacy is, and has always been, informed by visual culture. Art for Animals belongs on the shelf of not only anyone with an abiding concern for the role of art and visual culture in the study of human-animal relationships, but anyone who also advocates on behalf of nonhuman animals themselves. I highly recommend this well-researched and compelling book!”—Jodey Castricano,editor of Animal Subjects: An Ethical Reader in a Posthuman World“How do images represent an injustice or gesture toward an ideal? Keri Cronin brilliantly answers this question by identifying the key role images play in shaping—and resisting—dominant ideas about animals. Her profound scholarship equips us to recognize the irreplaceable and unique role of visual culture in animal activism. Thanks to Art for Animals, we are better able to understand past activisms and envision future ones.”—Carol J. Adams,author of The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory“Not only is [this book] a gold mine of information about art for animals, but so too it shows how important visual representations are for attracting people’s interests in the lives of other animals and for showing what humans need to do to give them the very best lives possible.”—Marc Bekoff Psychology Today“Cronin’s book will no doubt be welcomed by readers in animal studies, art history, British and North American history, visual culture studies, and other fields. Her innovative and truly interdisciplinary study reaches across national borders to assemble an impressive archive of animal imagery.”—Finis Dunaway American Historical Review“Cronin’s innovative look at art in animal advocacy allows animal studies scholars to rethink human-animal relations from a new perspective and inspires us to consider not only how animals were exploited but also protected in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.”—Catherine Paulin Histoire Sociale/Social History“Cronin’s innovative look at art in animal advocacy allows animal studies scholars to rethink human-animal relations from a new perspective and inspires us to consider not only how animals were exploited but also protected in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.”—Catherine Paulin Histoire Sociale/Social HistoryTable of ContentsContentsList of IllustrationsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction1 Educate Them Artistically2 Bearing Witness3 Imaginative Leaps4 In the Public Eye5 Advocacy at HomeConclusion: What Might BeNotesBibliographyIndex

Book SynopsisA coherent and practical philosophy of interdependence, drawing on vivid examples from the biological sciences.Trade Review"Kriti Sharma has written a remarkable book that moves seamlessly from the empirical world of biology-indeed, the microscales of test tubes and cells and molecules-to the consideration of the broadest philosophical concepts that define how we comprehend existence itself. The writing is lively and the illustrations are drawn from a wide and interdisciplinary range of sources and experiences, yet the development of the ideas is scholarly, careful, and well documented. Interdependence: Biology and Beyond will elevate and churn your thinking. It is Sharma's first book and the reader feels privileged to be present at the start of an exciting intellectual journey." -- -Peter White University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "In setting forth her vision of contingentism-that objects are really webs of processes contingent on multiple interacting conditions-Sharma moves eloquently back and forth between biology and philosophy. The book is a model of accessible but serious and elegant science writing." -- -Evan Thompson University of British Columbia "It is a rare treat to indulge in reading a work that switches between philosophical reasoning and empirical biology. This is just what Sharma does, illuminating the concept of interdependence from its everyday usage to focus in on the micro-scale network of processes that are contingent on interactions of organisms with one another and their environments." -The Biologist "Interdependence is an exceptionally original work of comprehensive theorizing. Conceptually subtle, empirically rigorous, and compellingly argued, it addresses some of the most fundamental questions in theoretical biology and demonstrates their close relation to central problems in our ideas of knowledge, existence, and reality." -- -Barbara Herrnstein Smith author, Scandalous Knowledge: Science, Truth and the HumanTable of ContentsTable of Contents Introduction - Taking Interdependence Seriously A brief sketch of what's to come Chapter 1 - It Depends: Existence as Contingent Small worlds Introducing key concepts: reality, existence, and contingency Features of contingentism What contingentism is not Signal transduction and the book's organization Encouragement to stick with a challenging topic Chapter 2 - What Do Objects Depend On?: Physical Substance, Matter, and the External World Assumption of the intrinsic boundedness and continuity of objects Assumption of the intrinsic boundedness and continuity of particles Assumption of the intrinsic existence of (emergent) properties Assumption of the intrinsic existence of causal powers Assumption of the unified object of sense perceptions (both within and between observers) Assumption of non-impingement: "Whatever it is, it sure doesn't depend on us" Chapter summary Chapter 3 - What Does Sensing Depend On?: Transduction, Energy, and the Meeting of Worlds An overview of signal transduction Signal transduction and cell sensing Assumption of sameness and difference Assumption of energy as a kind of substance Relating physical and psychological phenomena Re-viewing sensing: new views of transformation and change Chapter summary Chapter 4 - What Do Organisms Depend On?: Bodies, Lives, Selves, and Internal Worlds Assumption of the boundedness and continuity of organisms Assumption of the coordinator and the experiencer Assumption of intrinsically existent "other minds": why do we take one another seriously as subjects?

Book SynopsisA Treasury of Virtues is a collection of sayings, sermons, and teachings attributed to ''Ali ibn Abi Talib (d. 40/661), the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad, the first Shia Imam and the fourth Sunni Caliph.An acknowledged master of Arabic eloquence and a sage of Islamic wisdom, ''Ali was renowned for his eloquence: his words were collected, quoted, and studied over the centuries, and extensively anthologized, excerpted, and interpreted.Of the many compilations of ''Ali's words, A Treasury of Virtues, compiled by the Fatimid Shafi''i judge al-Quda''i, arguably possesses the broadest compass of genres and the largest variety of themes. Included are aphorisms, proverbs, sermons, speeches, homilies, prayers, letters, dialogues, and verse, all of which provide instruction on how to be a morally upstanding human being. The shorter compilation included here, One Hundred Proverbs, is attributed to the eminent writer al-Jahiz (d. 255/869).Trade ReviewPowerful and compelling in its portrayal of the vicissitudes of fate and the inevitability of death and decay. Many of the translated aphorisms and wise sayings are equally powerful... Qutbuddins volume is well written and well executeda valuable addition to any scholars library. -- Emily Selove, University of ManchesterThe quality of the translation is superior and the choice of maxims is well advised, as they constitute a major category of Arabic (and also medieval European) literature, a genre with which modernreaders are not acquainted. This translation will introduce them to it. -- Beatrice Gruendler, Yale UniversityTahera Qutbuddin, associate professor of Arabic Literature at the University of Chicago, translates a collection by the Fatimid Shafi'i judge al-Quda'i of sayings, sermons, and teachings attributed to Ali ibn Abi Talib. Ali is an acknowledged master of Arabic eloquence and a sage of Islamic wisdom. While several versions of the text exist, Qutbuddin is primarily using the Istanbul text. * Islamic Horizons *Tahera Qutbuddins edition proves to be definitive since, unlike the previous versions, she relies on all accessible manuscript and published editions. Qutbuddin also clearly demonstrated mastery and understanding of the difficult language of ?Alis prose and poetry, leading to a smooth presentation of the Arabic texts and a first-rate English translation Tahera Qutbuddin and the editorial team of the Library of Arabic Literature deserve to be congratulated for producing this exemplary volume. * Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies *Table of ContentsIntroduction 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (d. 40/661): Life and Personality Orality, Authenticity, and Collection of 'Ali's Words: Layered Sources The Literary Style of 'Ali's Words: Oral Patterns, Islamic Ethos, and Arabian Context Al-Qadi al-Quda'i (d. 454/1062): Career and Books A Treasury of Virtues: Form and Content Al-Jahiz (d. 255/869) and the One Hundred Proverbs 'Ali's Wisdom in the West Acknowledgements A Note on the Text A Treasury of Virtues Chapter 1: Wise Sayings Chapter 2: Exhortations to Reject Worldliness Chapter 3: Counsel Chapter 4: Prescriptions and Proscriptions Chapter 5: 'Ali's Questions with Answers, and 'Ali's Answers to Questions Chapter 6: Sayings with Unusual Words Chapter 7: Unique Sayings and Pithy Words Chapter 8: Prayers and Supplications Chapter 9: Verse One Hundred Proverbs Glossary of Names and Terms Bibliography Further Reading Index

Book SynopsisLos Angeles Times Best Cookbooks 2020 Saveur Magazine "Favorite Cookbook to Gift" Esquire Magazine Best Cookbooks of 2020 "The book weaves in reflections on art, religion, culture, music, and more, so even if you’re not an epicure, there’s something for everyone."—Men's Journal Bestselling author Sandor Katz—an “unlikely rock star of the American food scene” (New York Times), with over 500,000 books sold—gets personal about the deeper meanings of fermentation. In 2012, Sandor Ellix Katz published The Art of Fermentation, which quickly became the bible for foodies around the world, a runaway bestseller, and a James Beard Book Award winner. Since then his work has gone on to inspire countless professionals and home cooks worldwide, bringing fermentation into the mainstream. In Fermentation as Metaphor, stemming from his personal obsession with all things fermented, Katz meditates on his art and work, drawing connections between microbial communities and aspects of human culture: politics, religion, social and cultural movements, art, music, sexuality, identity, and even our individual thoughts and feelings. He informs his arguments with his vast knowledge of the fermentation process, which he describes as a slow, gentle, steady, yet unstoppable force for change. Throughout this truly one-of-a-kind book, Katz showcases fifty mesmerizing, original images of otherworldly beings from an unseen universe—images of fermented foods and beverages that he has photographed using both a stereoscope and electron microscope—exalting microbial life from the level of “germs” to that of high art. When you see the raw beauty and complexity of microbial structures, Katz says, they will take you “far from absolute boundaries and rigid categories. They force us to reconceptualize. They make us ferment.” Fermentation as Metaphor broadens and redefines our relationship with food and fermentation. It’s the perfect gift for serious foodies, fans of fermentation, and non-fiction readers alike. "It will reshape how you see the world."—EsquireTrade Review"I’m super jazzed about this book because this is what I stay up at night thinking about . . . . For a lot of people getting into fermentation, understanding the ideas and philosophies around it will help put them at ease with the practical application and act of fermenting, growing molds, and using them to produce food."—Jeremy Umansky, coauthor of Koji Alchemy"This book is a must read for anyone eager to transform our society for the better." —Rob Greenfield, author of Food Freedom"A strange, wondrous book that does exactly what the title promises. Katz, a high priest of fermentation, poetically draws together threads that link the world of the microbiome to the macro: art, religion, sex, emotion, memory, activism, growth, death, family and one’s own sense of self."—Helen Rosner, the New Yorker, via Instagram"This book is amazing... I’m a huge fan of [Sandor’s] so I think I can say this straight up: I think it is the best thing [he’s] written.... A meditative, analytical call for change."—Chef Dan Barber"An amazing, beautiful meditation . . . A meditation in the classical sense of thinking and fermenting through your emotions and feelings about the world.... I knew this was going to be different and I am so thrilled it is."—Chef David Zilber, coauthor of The Noma Guide to Fermentation"A swift, spicy, and timely read."—Bill Addison, Los Angeles Times"The book’s full-page images are mesmerizing."—Saveur Booklist— “Having written his comprehensive guide to all things fermented, The Art of Fermentation, Katz turns philosophical, trying to find deeper meanings in what the physical nature of fermentation means in the wider culture.”"This is not really a food book. It’s something much deeper. It’s a manifesto for living and thinking in a new way."—Jeff Gordinier, Food & Drinks Editor, Esquire "Katz taught us how to make sauerkraut and kimchi. Fermentation as Metaphor helps us think about them." —Boston Globe"Fermentation as Metaphor is audacious, often surprising."—The Guardian"A new book by Sandor is always an event for us fermentos!"—Michael Pollan, via Twitter

Book SynopsisThis is the long awaited one-volume campaign history from the leading experts of the decisive clash of Nazi and Soviet forces at Stalingrad; an abridged edition of the five volume Stalingrad Trilogy.Trade ReviewAs always, Glantz and House have produced a thoroughly researched and detailed account of the Stalingrad campaign that offers cogent analysis of both German and Soviet strengths and weaknesses. In forgetting their original goal, the oil of the Caucasus, the Germans squandered a chance at victory and allowed the increasingly competent Soviet command time to organize an effective resistance. As they demonstrate, Stalingrad might not have been the turning point of the war, but it did mark the point at which it was unlikely Germany could win any sort of war." - Stephen G.

It also tells a parallel story, that of Jewish women who, beginning in the 1970s, confronted the male-dominated Jewish institutions and transformed them. * The Jewish Journal *A captivating and timely new book... that brings to light, for the first time, the ways in which feminist trailblazers were influenced by their divergent and often unspoken Jewish backgrounds. * Jewish Telegraphic Agency *Antler broadens intersectional understandings about the day-to-day workings of the U.S. women’s movement in a period of intense activity and rapid change, and about the lives and thought processes of modern Jewish American women...the book is a remarkable achievement—a thorough and engaging study. * American Historical Review *Compelling, original, and urgent reexamination of the past . . . ReadingJewish Radical Feminismfeels like witnessing a collective in the making.Those deeply committed to understanding, learning from, and building on the vital social and civil rights movements of the pastwould do well to invest in this captivating history. * Contemporary Jewry *Its reassuring to learn how these iconic women navigated their own struggles with multiple identities in their own time, and to recognize the tremendous contributions they made, even from outside the mainstream. * Forward *Antler is a deservedly esteemed historian, a complex thinker, a compelling storyteller, and a feminist with a flair, who, once again, has expanded the terrain of women's history and the history of feminism, especially second-wave feminism, American-Jewish history, the history of radicalism, the Left, histories of anti-Semitism, and multiculturalism. Jewish Radical Feminism transforms our understandings of late twentieth-century social activism and offers a powerful corrective to narrow notions of identity feminism and Judaism. -- Journal of American HistoryAntler’s thorough and meticulously researched study examines the convergence of Jewishness and activism through a nuanced analysis of Jewish radical feminism and Jewish feminism. Antler demonstrates how these two streams of feminist activism are simultaneously distinct and intricately woven together. -- Journal of Religion and CultureThe most profound reasonJewish Radical Feminismshould be widely read is that it puts many current disputes about gender and Jewish identity into long perspective. * Tablet *Antler is a first-rate historian. Her work manages to answer the question of Jewish women’s representation and self-understanding in the context of feminist movements without either overgeneralizing or individualizing; the answers were not the same for everyone but neither were they wholly unique to each person. Jewish Radical Feminism collects and tells stories from a feminist movement whose importance continues to affect American Jewish life. -- H-Net ReviewsJoyce Antler offers us a new understanding of the struggles, themes, accomplishments, and failures of my generation. It's a remarkable synthesis of landmark moments in late-20th Century Jewish feminism and an important contribution to the history of women. -- Letty Cottin Pogrebin,author and co-founder of Ms. MagazineAntler complicates histories of feminist activism by revealing the presence of Jewishness in the backgrounds of dozens of influential radical women. * Studies in Contemporary Jewry *Antler’s work makes visible Jewish feminists contributions to Jewish history and women’s history; the interviews also served to make some of the participants' Jewish identity more visible to themselves. -- CHOICEDisplayed over the interior pages are the labeled photographs of forty seminal radical American feminists who advocated for change from both inside and outside the Jewish community...never before has a scholar brought these diverse voices together to explore the impact of Jewishness on these women’s actions and life choices. * Journal of Jewish Identities *Antler is a first-rate historian. Her work manages to answer the question of Jewish women’s representation and self-understanding in the context of feminist movements without either overgeneralizing or individualizing; the answers were not the same for everyone but neither were they wholly unique to each person. Jewish Radical Feminism collects and tells stories from a feminist movement whose importance continues to affect American Jewish life. * H-Net Reviews *Joyce Antler provocatively explores the special qualities of being Jewish and Feminist in the 1960s and 70s. She cogently unwinds the personal stories of leading activists to trace how intertwined identities produced powerful political consequences. This enjoyable and illuminating book will encourage readers to probe their own complicated heritages. -- Alice Kessler-Harris,author of A Difficult Woman: The Challenging Life and Times of Lillian HellmanThis is an utterly absorbing and valuable book. Having the insight and courage to probe many questions unasked before, and not trying to press the answers into a simple story or a single model, Antler succeeds beautifully in illuminating the underrecognized ways in which feminist convictions have been related to Jewishness. Her oral interviews with scores of women having differing levels of Jewish attachment provide the books mainspring, and supply original perspectives on matters from the 1960s New Left to the 1980s World Conferences on Women. -- Nancy F. Cott,author of The Grounding of Modern FeminismThis is the book we've been waiting for. Based on exhaustive historical scholarship and written with elegance and grace, Joyce Antler has given us the gift of knowledge, ending the silence about Jewish feminists and feminist Jews. -- Ruth Rosen,author of The World Split Open: How the Modern Women's Movement Changed America

Book SynopsisThe contributors to Kin draw on the work of anthropologist Deborah Bird Rose (1946–2018), a foundational voice in environmental humanities, to examine the relationships of interdependence and obligation between human and nonhuman lives.Trade Review“Deborah Bird Rose created an expansive scholarly field underpinned by interconnections, the affirmation of life, and love and responsibility as analytics. Invited to such a challenging field, the stories in this book carefully labor across a heterogeneity of forms of life and nonlife to reshuffle biological, political, and historical boundaries and creatively open possibility for a plethora of interconnected differences, pragmatic boundaries without a center. Caring for the Earth as Country, this artfully crafted collection meets Rose’s most urgent demand: becoming a witness of death that asserts life through an ethical practice that is always already ecological.” -- Marisol de la Cadena, author of * Earth Beings: Ecologies of Practice across Andean Worlds *"Rose’s thought is timely now more than ever. This collection is a testimony to the vitality of their work for the present and challenges ahead that will involve relearning to be one among lifescapes of other beings rather than a social atom." -- Christopher Blakley * Science as Culture *"I was provoked and challenged by the diversity of this collection. . . ." -- David Moore * Indigenous Religious Traditions *Table of ContentsWorlds of Kin: An Introduction / Thom Van Dooren and Matthew Chrulew 1 1.

Book SynopsisTrade Review"The country’s newspaper book review pages evaporated in the 21st century. . . . Those of us who remain occupy one of the most tenuous positions in an extraordinarily tenuous industry. That seems to be what attracted the attention of Phillipa K. Chong, a sociology professor at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. . . . Chong offers rare insight."---Ron Charles, Washington Post Book Club"Phillipa Chong’s precise, insightful and fascinating book focuses on journalist critics of fiction who write with an eye to newsworthiness as well as literary value, rather than academics."---Robert Eaglestone, Times Higher Education"[An] exploration of how books get reviewed, what the consequences are, and whether any of it means anything at all. . . . Chong works diligently through the review process. . . . Useful reading for book critics and journalists who cover books." * Kirkus Reviews *"Inside the Critics’ Circle allows academics the opportunity to reflect on how they enact their own roles as reviewers and provides valuable contributions to the sociology of culture, economic sociology, and the sociology of knowledge. . . . Sociologists who study cultural fields and valuation will refer to and cite this book for years to come."---Hannah Wohl, American Journal of Sociology"[A] deep dive into the inner workings of journalistic book criticism in ‘the Anglophone publishing field,’ and a must-read for critics and editors alike. . . . Impressively, Chong has managed in this study through substantial empirical data to draw a clear, detailed, and nuanced picture of a rather tricky profession."---Dana Hansen, Hamilton Review of Books"Inside the Critics' Circle is an interesting inside look at the current state of (fiction) book reviewing in the United States, specifically as perceived by (presumably) significant actors in the field."---M.A. Orthofer, The Complete Review"I perceived a book review — still perceive it, most days — as an avocation that’s as much private as it is public. . . . This public-private feeling is a common one, according to Phillipa K. Chong’s academic but engaging analysis of book reviewing, Inside the Critics’ Circle. An assistant professor of sociology at McMaster University, Chong endeavored to put some scientific rigor around the motivations of fiction reviewers by interviewing 40 of them, a random sample drawn from more than 1,000 bylines that had appeared in one of three major (but unnamed) national newspapers. What she uncovered is a lack of sense of purpose that’s distinct from criticism in other disciplines."---Mark Athitakis, On the Seawall"An insightful account of inner workings of writing and publishing book reviews. . . . Chong has the knack of presenting . . . ideas in an interesting manner with her sharp wit and clarity of thoughts."---Mohammad Farhan, The Hindu"Inside the Critics’ Circle is first-rate academic research. . . . [This] is no small feat and constitutes a major victory for Phillipa K. Chong."---Dimitris Passas, TapTheLine Magazine

Book SynopsisHelps readers see the Apostle Paul’s faith and hope at work as he evangelized the nations. Steeped in up-to-date scholarship and a passion for the gospel Paul preached, Prothro draws readers into Paul’s life and letters in order to help them hear the Apostle’s voice.Trade ReviewJames Prothro has here distilled a mass of learning into an intelligent and clearly written introduction to Paul's theology, letters and historical setting. Students will find an extremely helpful guide here to the apostle's thought and writings, as well as a lucid account of the main currents of contemporary interpretation. Highly recommended!""-Simon J. Gathercole, University of Cambridge""James Prothro offers students and the larger academic community an absorbing introduction to Paul in the classical style, leading the reader into the letters by means of historical context, genre, and theological concerns. We are swept away by a coherent big picture, but also captivated by such social details as the costliness of producing manuscripts in Paul's time. Here is a subtle, yet engaging, book that joins together elements of a handbook and a perspectival monograph, inviting us into ongoing scholarly discussions about the apostle's writings, making sane (if sometimes debatable) decisions about such matters, and showing definitively how the letters remain essential for the faithful.""-Edith M. Humphrey, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary""The past years have witnessed an overwhelming flood of studies on Paul the Apostle and his theology. James Prothro's new book, The Apostle Paul and his Letters, presents an up-to-date review of the main questions about Paul, and provides a clear, wise, and faith-filled review of Paul's life and each of his letters. Highly recommended for use in seminaries and theological colleges.""-Daniel Keating, Sacred Heart Major Seminary""James Protho has written an outstanding introduction to Paul and his letters. Comprehensive in scope, carefully researched, balanced, and theologically insightful, this work clarifies the background, structure, and theological issues of each letter that students need to know if they are to read Paul with confidence and understanding. It is an ideal text for introducing Paul to undergraduate and graduate students, one of the best available.""-Frank Matera, The Catholic University of America

Book SynopsisGovernments across the globe find themselves in an exploratory phase as they probe the limits of their sovereignty in the cyber domain. Cyberspace is a singular environment that is forcing states to adjust their behavior to fit a new arena beyond the four traditional domains (air, sea, space, and land) to which the classic understanding of state sovereignty applies. According to Lucie Kadlecová, governments must implement a more adaptive approach to keep up with rapid developments and innovations in cyberspace in order to truly retain their sovereignty. This requires understanding the concept of sovereignty in a more creative and flexible manner.Kadlecová argues that the existence of sovereignty in cyberspace is the latest remarkable stage in the evolution of this concept. Through a close study of the most advanced transatlantic cases of state sovereignty in cyberspacethe Netherlands, the US, Estonia, and TurkeyCyber Sovereignty reveals how states have pursued new meth

Book SynopsisIn Resource Nationalism in Indonesia, Eve Warburton traces nationalist policy trajectories in Indonesia back to the preferences of big local business interests. Commodity booms often prompt more nationalist policy styles in resource-rich countries. Usually, this nationalist push weakens once a boom is over. But in Indonesia, a major global exporter of coal, palm oil, nickel, and other minerals, the intensity of nationalist policy interventions increased after the early twenty-first-century commodity boom came to an end. Equally puzzling, the state applied nationalist policies unevenly across the land and resource sectors. Resource Nationalism in Indonesia explains these trends by examining the economic and political benefits that accrue to domestic business actors when commodity prices soar. Warburton shows how the centrality of patronage to Indonesia's democratic political economy, and the growing importance of mining and palm oil as drivers of export earnings, enhanced both the instrumental and structural power of major domestic companies, giving them new influence over the direction of nationalist change.

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewBonnie Honig concludes the introduction to this fine book by invoking the virago: the female warrior who will not be contained within categoriesthat oppose masculinity against femininity or human rationality against theforces of nature. It is a fitting emblem for a book that takes up and perturbs an opposition that functions variously to divide reason from violence, liberal humanism from poststructuralist skepticism, and feminine passivity from masculine bravado. This is the opposition between virtú and virtue, and Honig calibrates it against a new measure she terms the 'displacement of politics.'. (Praise for the 1st edition) * Political Theory *Honig's sharp genealogical sensibilities and insights, her development of a position of agonistic amendable authority, the questions which she raises and the soothing answers she refuses, come together in an excellent book that engages and provokes its readers in ways which exemplify political theory at its best, animated but not displaced by politics. (Praise for the 1st edition) * Journal of Politics *Thinkers as diverse as Plato, Aquinas, Hobbes, Locke, and Marx have relied,explicitly or implicitly, on the belief that there is some set of political and social arrangements most conducive to themaximization of human well-being and happiness. Bonnie Honig's illuminating and disquieting book provides an acute and much-needed analysis of some of the consequences and implications of this teleological assumption for contemporary political theory and, more generally, for the ways in which people tend to conceive of politics. Indeed, Honig argues that politics itself, at least insofar as it entails or expresses ultimately irreducible conflict, dissonance, resistance, and agonal struggle, has largely been displaced from or written out of political theory.
