Book SynopsisThis volume explores the complex relationships between hazard, vulnerability and disaster for steering the challenges posed by disaster. Divergent to popular conviction and moving beyond technocratic approach, this book argues that natural hazards alone do not result in disasters. When they intersect with the vulnerability of vulnerable people, these hazards turn into disastrous events. Mostly depending on qualitative and comparative investigation, the book contends that various people â men and women, young and old, wealthy and poor as well as people of different social identities, encounter diverse outcomes confronting the same hazard. While transmuting hazards to disaster, social vulnerability plays a crucial role in determining resilience to natural hazards. The main objective of this book is to understand why and how disasters occur as it helps in constructing plans to address their root causes and identifying long-term solutions. The book aims to augment the voices of those vulnerable people who are most at risk from disasters. Although the book emphasizes peopleâs vulnerability at the centre of disaster and few countries in South Asia, the implications can be realistic across a variety of disaster settings in diverse social contexts. Posing an understanding of social construction of disasters in the context of the South Asia, this book will be of interest to academicians in the fields of Disaster Studies, Environmental Studies, Sociology, Political Science, Anthropology, History, Economics, International Development Studies and Governance Studies, as well as policy makers. It will also be an invaluable reading for policy makers, practitioners, academicians, development planners, and all those interested in understanding the complexity, and addressing the challenges of making South Asia a disaster-resilient region.

Book SynopsisThis book explores how African fiction offers revolutionary models for understanding temporality and reimagining history in our catastrophe-ridden twenty-first century. Examining eight works from diverse African writersâranging from Achebeâs classic Things Fall Apart, via works by Coetzee and Dangarembga, to contemporary novels by Makumbi, Mengiste, Mujila, Owuor and Serpellâthe book demonstrates how these authors eschew linear Eurocentric historicism in favour of bold, immediate confrontations with history in the making and its temporal fabric. Drawing from fiction across Africa, the book proposes a composite theory of âproximate historiographiesâ encompassing the entangled, plaited, expansive, interpellative, somatic, and kinetic temporalities that emerge from these pathbreaking works. Taken together, they reveal Africa as a laboratory of futurity rather than a place outside history. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of African literature, postcolonial studies, and contemporary fiction. It will also appeal to those working in environmental humanities, decolonial theory, and innovative approaches to historiography.

Book SynopsisRevolutionaries traces the gendered experiences of revolution from the 18th century Atlantic Revolutions through the late 20th century.With an explanatory framework that focuses on the evolution of revolutionary âscripts,â Revolutionaries synthesizes the latest micro-historical scholarship on gender and revolution into a survey of two centuries of world history. Because revolutionaries are the most self-aware of historical actors, they adapted the phrases, such as âall men are created equalâ and followed the phases â mobilization through victory and consolidation â across one revolution after another. For example, when Nicaraguans commemorated the bicentennial of the French Revolution in 1989--and their Revolution--by paying homage to âœLiberty Leading the Peopleâ on a postage stamp, they precisely evoked this modern global revolutionary âscript,â one they had improved upon. While scholars have identified these phrases and stages, and compared revolutions across time and space, few have focused on gender. Although patriarchy was renovated over and over, when âgreat menâ consolidated power, revolutionaries also rose up again and again, with new tools, determined to widen political and economic rights for women and other excluded groups. Revolutionaries interrogates the great man script that leaves masculinity underexplored while sharing the stories of extraordinary and ordinary women and men and their gendered dreams.With vignettes, different global examples for each theme, and illustrations and photographs, this is the perfect guide for anyone wanting to find out about the gendered implications of revolutions.

Book SynopsisThe history of evolutionary thought is often seen as a triumph of secularism in the form of ''scientific naturalism'', over religious bigotry. But for those involved in the debate during the nineteenth century, these divisions were not so clearly marked.This collection of nine volumes will bring together key works in the development of evolutionary theory from fundamentalists, such as Philip Gosse who insisted on a literal reading of Genesis, to T.H. Huxley, whose passionate defence of evolution theory earned him the title of ''Darwin''s Bulldog''. Between these two extreme positions are situated the works of Cuvier, Wallace, Buckland, Lyell and Owen, all of whom rejected Darwin''s version of evolution to varying degrees.Each volume includes a new introduction by the editor, which provides an historical and intellectual context for each of the works, while a general introduction in the first volume provides an overview of the collection as a whole.

Book SynopsisLÃon Walras (1834-1910) was one of the key thinkers behind the development of marginal utility theory and his introduction of general equilibrium theory is one of the cornerstones of modern economic thought. Now, his seminal work Ãtudes d'Ãconomie politique appliquÃe, first published in 1898, is available in English, in both hardback and paperback.This work sits aside ÃlÃmÃnts d'Ãconomie politique pure (1874) and Ãtudes d'Ãconomie sociale (1896, English translation, Routledge 2010) as one of Walras' crowning achievements.Walrasâs Ãtudes dâÃconomie politique appliquÃe contains his best work on applied economics. In this book, he investigates where free competition is and is not possible, and how to organize and regulate economic life in these differing situations. Furthermore, he deals with other features that are important for the functioning of the economic system such as money, capital, credit, banking, securities markets and speculation.This two-volume translation of a text that still holds vibrant relevance for economists today will be of immense interest to working economists and students of the history of economic thought.

Book SynopsisNeoliberal Feminism and the Discourse of Self-Improvement utilizes feminist critical discourse analysis to examine the language and narratives within self-help literature targeted at women.Giuliana Ferri critically explores the discourse of self-improvement, focusing on how neoliberal values of empowerment and individual fulfilment have been co-opted by elite feminism as a technology of the self. She unpacks how this discourse constructs an idealized image of the empowered womanâone who is portrayed as capable of overcoming patriarchy through the affirmation of innate strength and resilience. Drawing on Marxist feminism and feminist social reproduction theory, the book highlights how neoliberal feminism markets women as entrepreneurs, badass feminists, and successful working mothers, all while obscuring the realities of increasing work precarization and flexibilization in post-industrial societies.Through its feminist critical discourse analysis, the book reveals how these seemingly empowering narratives shift the responsibility for systemic change onto individuals, rather than positioning feminism as a collective, anti-capitalist movement for liberation. By integrating applied linguistics with Marxist feminism and social reproduction theory, this text provides a unique interdisciplinary perspective, making it a key reading for scholars and students of language, gender, and economic systems.

Housing inequities are exacerbated by continuing commodification, demographic shifts, and the increasing time many now spend at home. Addressing these challenges requires stronger state intervention, closer cooperation between regulators, providers, and occupants, and a robust evidence base that links housing policy, supply, quality, and design with the social values needed to drive change.This book examines how housing design governance shapes the quality of homes and the wellbeing of residents, analysing the political, economic, social, historical, and environmental drivers of design. Drawing on new comparative data and evidence from England, Chile, China, the Netherlands, Spain, and Switzerland, it explores how contextual standards, cultural norms, and regulatory practices influence everyday life and perceptions of subsidised housing.Combining historical, technical, and social perspectives, this interdisciplinary design research study provides a multidimensional understanding of housing quality. It offers practical insights for policymakers, housing providers, and designers, showing how lived experience can inform future standards and policies to create more inclusive, adaptable, and sustainable homes and communities.

Book SynopsisThis is the first edited volume on the work of essential critical legal theorist Costas Douzinas. It brings together his collaborators, students and contemporaries in legal critique to reflect on different aspects of his oeuvre and to celebrate his significant contribution to legal scholarship over the last forty years. From the inauguration of a distinctly critical legal project in the UK in the mid-eighties, Costas Douzinas has been at the forefront of a number of its key theoretical, legal and political debates. With key interventions in deconstructive and postmodern legal theory, legal aesthetics, psychoanalysis and law, the radical critique of human rights, and most recently in the critical legal theorization of social movement, protest, sovereign power, the state of exception and non-human rights, Douzinasâs influence has been widely felt. This book provides a key overview of some key aspects of his oeuvre, uncovering fresh resources and new directions of analysis.The book is aimed at students and researchers who share an interest in the politics and aesthetics of law. It refuses the easy critical equation of law and politics, and produces a more radical account of law, politics, resistance and social change.

Book SynopsisFeaturing contributions from a variety of international voices, this volume draws on a range of disciplinary, practice and experiential perspectives to offer new understandings of relationships between culture and psychosis. Taking neither culture nor psychosis as neatly defined, the chapters trace how individual illness and recovery experiences, treatment paradigms, and diagnostic categories are all culturally shaped. Together they illustrate that paying attention to culture is crucial to understanding the complexities of lived experiences, as well as the workings of culture in biomedicine and psychiatry. Offering a sensitive and multi-vocal approach to the topic, the book is an innovative, timely and theoretically robust contribution to the emerging interdisciplinary field of mental health science. This important book will be of interest to mental health practitioners, students and academics across a range of disciplines, as well as those with lived experience of psychosis.
