Temple University Press,U.S. Jewish SelfDetermination beyond Zionism Lessons
Book SynopsisTrade Review“An exciting, profound, and humane critical rethinking of Zionism as the ideological foundation of the Israeli state, Graubart’s alternative vision reinforces what Zionism might have become if its leaders had not opted for an exclusivist Jewish state necessitating the continuous repression, exploitation, and discrimination of the Palestinian people in their own homeland. The recent surge to the Israeli far right gives this fine book a timely urgency, especially for liberal Jews, who should be deeply disturbed by what has happened in Israel beneath the banner of Zionism.”—Richard Falk, Professor Emeritus of International Law at Princeton University, and author of Palestine’s Horizon: Toward a Just Peace“Jewish Self-Determination beyond Zionism is a recovery operation designed to provide tools for contemporary analysts to contend with the problems posed by the effective disappearance of diplomatic paths toward a negotiated solution to the Israeli-Palestinian problem. Graubart’s well-written and accurate summary of the sharp rightward trajectory Israel has taken in recent decades shows how many of the forecasts of the ‘Humanist Zionists,’ like Martin Buber and Hannah Arendt, have come true, and how decisive have been the ‘core pathologies’ that those thinkers identified.”—Ian Lustick, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania, and author of Paradigm Lost: From Two-State Solution to One-State Reality"There is much to learn from this thoughtful, well-researched, clearly written exegesis of the history of what the author calls 'Humanist Zionism' and his proposal for an alternative to Israel in its current configuration.... Summing Up: Recommended."—Choice"In a particularly dark historical and political moment in Palestine/Israel, Jonathan Graubart offers a glimmer of hope for a brighter future by offering new pathways toward Jewish and Palestinian self-determination.... [T]he book makes a valuable contribution to the field of critical Zionism studies. Graubart advances a new approach that moves beyond Zionism while maintaining a commitment to Jewish self-determination. It highlights a well-articulated binational vision for the future rooted in both past ideologies and contemporary realities while also providing a fascinating new analysis of Jewish self-determination rooted in justice for all."—Perspectives on Politics

The University of Chicago Press What Kind of Ancestor Do You Want to Be
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Consisting of a stunning array of essays, poems, and interviews, this collection makes the case that the actions and perspectives of a single person can have a ripple effect across generations of people and nature. . . . Recommended for readers interested in environmentalism, anthropology, sociology, history, philosophy, and Indigenous peoples in the United States." * Library Journal *"A wonderfully unclassifiable book, What Kind of Ancestor Do You Want to Be? challenges us to live not just for tomorrow, or for our children, but for many generations in the future. Featuring interviews with and essays by thinkers from across social disciplines—anthropologists, environmental activists, Indigenous leaders, sociologists, and more." * Book Culture Blog *"This compendium of poems, essays, and dialogues contains the voices of a range of writers and speakers from widely disparate cultures, traditions, and ethnicities, speaking out as they grapple with this question. The question itself causes one to pause, containing, as it does, an implicit instruction to consider one’s own ancestors and their/our relationship with the future. Who were they and what has their impact been upon ourselves and the world? How should or might we, ourselves, carry their influence into the future, while adding the work of our own lives to that stream?" * Resilience.org *"This volume edited by Hausdoerffer, Hecht, Nelson, and Cummings incorporates the work of 47 contributors addressing the urgent and central concern of establishing spiritual, social, and ecological continuity in this uncertain age. Employing diverse textual strategies and genres, including essays, ethnographic interviews, and poems, these authors are intent on communicating the understanding and reactions of indigenous people to the problem of providing guidance to future generations. Arguing that the world is currently in the throes of an ecological, economic, and political crisis, this study invites readers to seek essential new wisdom by exploring the traditional wisdom of indigenous ancestors, so as to embrace the role of "ancestor" in the present. . . .Highly recommended." * Choice *“What Kind of Ancestor Do You Want to Be? explores the challenge of climate disruption and ecological disaster through poems, essays and interviews. By offering diverse responses from a worldly selection of multicultural voices, the book provokes examination and inspiration. At the same time, the collection delivers no easy answers. Instead, the responses are personal and detailed, thick with values and reflection." * Gunnison Country Times *“What Kind of Ancestor Do You Want to Be? captures the deep dialogue, continuity, and resonance Indigenous peoples feel and espouse for ancestors, ourselves, our children—with a view for the now and for our very uncertain future. And yet, its audience is at once Indigenous and Universal. Weaving poetry, narrative, interview, essay, and spirit, it is a unique, landmark tapestry. Utterly timely and profoundly urgent.” -- Gregory Cajete, author of "Native Science: Natural Laws of Interdependence"“The questions this book raises are of such staggering importance and relevance today. I cried. I laughed. I smiled. Many reading moments, beautiful or tragic or just deeply human, are difficult to forget.” -- Jeffrey J.

Duke University Press ReUnderstanding Media
Book SynopsisThe contributors to Re-Understanding Media advance a feminist version of Marshall McLuhan’s key text, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, repurposing his insight that “the medium is the message” for feminist ends.Trade Review“This brilliant collection thrillingly updates and interrogates Marshall McLuhan’s work, with abundant insights from feminist and critical race studies. Starting from the insight that ‘the medium is the message,’ Re-Understanding Media refuses the idea of technology as a mere tool, instead showing how it is a structuring form of power—from incubators to platform heels to facial recognition scanners. A challenging and important book.” -- Rosalind Gill, City, University of London“Correcting the lack of feminist and critical race considerations in the body of work of media ecologist Marshall McLuhan, [Re-Understanding Media] explores the gender and racial power dynamics inherent in media technology. . . . The various modes of analyses presented—such as semiotic analysis, autoethnography, and interviews—also demonstrate the breadth of methodologies used in feminist and critical race media studies. Highly recommended.” -- K. Gentles-Peart * Choice *"Re-Understanding Media’s rich provocations to the field and its foundations make it a work of clear and compelling interest for media theorists and feminist scholars, artists, and activists in and outside the academy—if not, perhaps, a heartening read for devoted disciples of McLuhan." -- Eden Rea-Hedrick * The Communication Review *Table of ContentsPreface: The Centre on the Margins / Sarah Sharma vii Acknowledgments xiii Introduction: A Feminist Medium Is the Message / Sarah Sharma 1 Part I.

University of Toronto Press Harbin
Book SynopsisThis book offers an intimate portrait of early twentieth-century Harbin, a city in Manchuria where Russian colonialists, and later refugees from the Revolution, met with Chinese migrants. The deep social and intellectual fissures between the Russian and Chinese worlds were matched by a multitude of small efforts to cross the divide as the city underwent a wide range of social and political changes. Using surviving letters, archival photographs, and rare publications, this book also tells the personal story of a forgotten city resident, Baron Roger Budberg, a physician who, being neither Russian nor Chinese, nevertheless stood at the very centre of the cross-cultural divide in Harbin. The biography of an important city, fleshing out its place in the global history of East-West contacts and twentieth-century diasporas, this book is also the history of an individual life and an original experiment in historical writing. Trade Review"This is a fascinating and well-researched exploration of the Russian [and] Chinese cultural encounter in Harbin, based on the extensive use of sources in both Russian and Chinese." -- Austin Jersild, Old Dominion University * H-Soz-Kult *"Specialists will draw much eclectic material about Harbin from Gamsa and enjoy the author’s often insightful ideas about cross-cultural contact and more." -- David Wolff, Hokkaido University * Slavic Review *"There are many reasons to like this book. The writing is elegant, with frequent memorable turns of phrase. The research in Russian, Chinese, and European-language sources is deep and rich, and Gamsa’s feel for his subject is remarkable. One senses on every page his balanced affection for Harbin and even for Budberg, despite his frankness about their many shared imperfections." -- Willard Sunderland, University of Cincinnati * Journal of Modern History *“The book builds on impressive research, contains stimulating discussions of the relationship between biography and general history, and thus deserves to be read not only as the story of a remarkable man but also, more broadly, as a fascinating attempt to understand the life of an individual in the context of his multicultural environment.” -- Stig Thøgersen, Aarhus University * H-Net Reviews *“Harbin: A Cross-Cultural Biography is a remarkable feat of research across multiple languages and archives, as well as a compellingly original, stylishly written, and surprisingly intimate book.” -- Edward Tyerman, University of California, Berkeley * Twentieth-Century China *"The book is a masterful analysis of the consequences that traumatic shifts in power relations could have for the life of individuals." -- N.

MP-NCA Uni of North Carolina Colors of Confinement Rare Kodachrome
Book SynopsisIn 1942, Bill Manbo and his family were forced from their Hollywood home into a Japanese American internment in Wyoming. While there, Manbo documented his surroundings using Kodachrome film. Colors of Confinement showcases sixty-five stunning images from this extremely rare collection of photographs.Trade Review“Injustice, in Kodachrome.” - The New York Times“Sheds new light on life in Wyoming's Heart Mountain internment camp. . . . Disarming. . . . [Manbo's] images show movement and smiles caught in a moment. The people do not perform because of his camera but in spite of it.” - Casper Star-Tribune“These images offer readers glimpses of the internment that are in vivid color and, unlike government- sanctioned photos, candid and earnest. . . .Highly recommended. All levels/libraries.” - Choice“[A] provocative and noteworthy collection. . . . [with] unquestionable cultural and historical significance.” - Publishers Weekly“A rare insider's view of daily life in [Japanese-American internment] camps.” - Durham Herald Sun“These portraits provide a stark reminder that the families of Heart Mountain were prisoners of war.” - NPR Online“The strength of this title is the photography: Manbo documents a people who rose above persecution and injustice to carry on traditions and form a community in a barren landscape. Anyone interested in documentary photography and American social and cultural history will appreciate this book. Highly recommended.” - Library Journal starred review“The narratives and scholarly essays combine with the photos to forge a powerful statement. As humans we see the world in color, so the Kodachrome images convey the circumstances, as we would experience them if we were there. This level of reality is something that existing black and white camp photos cannot duplicate.” - American Studies Journal“Muller recognized this power of color photography to revive the past and has created a book that presents the internee experience through a modern lens. Just as Manbo's slides were miraculously preserved (in a box in his son's garage), Muller's compilation will help preserve our collective memory of the internment experience.” - Hyphen: Asian America Unabridged“Stunning.” - Huffington Post“The collection of pictures [Manbo] took there. . . represent a singular view of internment, all executed in color.” - Los Angeles Times “Poignant images of pickup baseball, judo matches, parades, and other daily life in a Wyoming internment camp for Japanese Americans during World War II.” - Military History Quarterly“Showcas[es] 65 color images from [Bill Manbo's] rare collection. . . . Each of the essays helps the reader look at the photographs from a different perspective.” - Carolina Law“The photographs give a haunting account of what life was like for Japanese descents.” - Daily Mail Online“This is a testament to the incredible power of photography. Even one frame can change the tide of public opinion because photography has the power to add layers to our understanding of how events transpired and how people were affected.” - Washington Post“These are not pictures of horrors of confinement but rather photos that show how the Japanese made lives for themselves.” - Denver Post“This volume is at once a wonderful and rare addition . . . to the existing images of the Nikkei experience while incarcerated during World War II.” - Nichi Bei Weekly
