Lead
How to Live Together
Roland Barthes
Translated by Kate Briggs
The semi nal lecTures ThaT seT BarThes on hi s
epi c course To explore The collaBoraTi ve
poTenTi al of readi ng, wri Ti ng, and new
narraTi ve forms.
In The Preparation of the Novel, a collection of lectures
delivered at a defning moment in Roland Barthess
career (and completed just weeks before his death), the critic
spoke of his struggle to discover a diferent way of writing
and a new approach to life. The Neutral preceded this work,
containing Barthess challenge to the classic oppositions of
Western thought and his efort to establish new pathways of
meaning. How to Live Together predates both achievements,
a series of lectures exploring solitude and the degree of
contact necessary for individuals to exist and create at their
own pace. A distinct project that sets the tone for his subse-
quent lectures, How to Live Together is a key introduction to
Barthess pedagogical methods and critical worldview.
Barthes focuses on the concept of idiorrhythmy, a produc-
tive form of living together in which one recognizes and
respects the individual rhythms of the other. He explores
this phenomenon in fve texts representing diferent living
spaces and their associated ways of life: mile Zolas Pot-
Bouille, set in a Parisian apartment building; Thomas
Manns The Magic Mountain, which takes place in a sana-
torium; Andr Gides La squestre de Poitiers, based on the
true story of a woman confned to her bedroom; Daniel
Defoes Robinson Crusoe, about a castaway on a remote is-
land; and Pallidiuss Lausiac History, on the ascetic lives of
the desert fathers. As with his previous lecture books, How
to Live Together exemplifes Barthess singular approach to
teaching, in which he invites his audience to investigate
with him, or for him, and wholly incorporates them into
his discoveries. Rich with playful observations and sugges-
tive, clarifying prose, How to Live Together is a foundational
text orienting English-speaking readers to the full power of
Barthess intellectual adventures.
roland barthes (19151980) was a French literary theorist, phi-
losopher, critic, and semiotician. His books include The Preparation
of the Novel; The Neutral; Mythologies; S/Z; A Lovers Discourse; and
Camera Lucida. Barthess work has been central to the delineation and
development of numerous schools of theory, including structuralism,
semiotics, existentialism, social theory, Marxism, anthropology, and
poststructuralism.
kate briggs is the translator of Roland Barthess The Preparation of
the Novel.
roland Barthes repeatedly com-
pared teaching to play, reading to
eros, writing to seduction. his voice
became more and more personal,
more full of grain, as he called it;
his intellectual art more openly a
performance, like that of the other
great anti-systematizers. . . . all of
Barthess work is an exploration of
the histrionic or lucidic; in many
ingenious modes, a plea for savor,
for a festive (rather than dogmatic
or credulous) relation to ideas.
for Barthes, the point is to make
us bold, agile, subtle, intelligent,
detached. and to give pleasure

The Incident at Antioch/Lincident
dAntioche
A Tragedy in Three Acts/Tragedie en trois actes
Alain Badiou
Introduction by Kenneth Reinhard and Translated by Susan Spitzer
The long-anTi ci paTed fi rsT puBli caTi on i n anY
language of The french phi losopher s plaY,
Based on evenTs i n The li fe of sai nT paul and
earlY chri sTi ani TY, The pari s commune of 1 871 ,
and The pari si an proTesTs of maY 1 968.
Widely translated and considered to be the most important
philosopher of our time, Alain Badiou is also a novelist and
the author of four celebrated comedies and two tragedies.
The Incident at Antioch is the last of his plays to be published
in French and the frst to be published in English, intro-
ducing a side of Badiou the Anglophone world has never
encountered before. As a crucial link between Badious key
early philosophical work, Theory of the Subject, and his mag-
num opus, Being and Event, The Incident at Antioch marks
the philosophers transition from classical Marxism to a
politics of subtraction far removed from party and state.
Written with striking eloquence and extraordinary poetic
richness and shifting from highly serious emotional and
intellectual drama to surreal comic interlude, the play fea-
tures statesmen, workers, and revolutionaries struggling to
reconcile the nature and practice of politics.
This bilingual edition presents Lincident dAntioche in its
original French and, on facing pages, an expertly executed
English translation. Badiou adds a special preface, and an
introduction by the scholar Kenneth Reinhard connects the
play to its primary infuences: Paul Claudels The City, Saint
Paul and the early history of the Church, and the innova-
tive mathematical thinking of Paul Cohen. The translation
includes Susan Spitzers extensive notes clarifying allusions
and quotations and hinting at Badious intentions. The vol-
ume concludes with an interview with Badiou on the plays
settings, themes, and events, as well as his ongoing literary
and conceptual experimentation on stage and of.
alain badiou holds the Rene Descartes Chair at the Eu-
ropean Graduate School and teaches at the cole Normale
Suprieure and the Collge International de Philosophie in
Paris. One of the most well known philosophers of our time,
he is also a novelist, playwright, mathematician, and politi-
cal activist.
kenneth reinhard is associate professor of English at the University of
California, Los Angeles, and the author of The Neighbor: Three Inquiries in
Political Theology; After Oedipus: Shakespeare in Psychoanalysis; and The
Ethics of the Neighbor in Religion.
susan spitzer is a frequent translator of Badious works, most recently,
his Five Lessons on Wagner.
Badiou resembles sartre in the ver-
satility, creativity, and energy that
make both of them major literary
authors as well as philosophers. . . .
it is a measure of spitzers talent
as a translator that she manages to
preserve the literariness of Badious
languageits difculty, its strange-
ness, its beautywhile making it
vivid and fuid and consistent with
the syntactical and grammatical
demands of english.
Joseph Litvak, Tufts University
Badiou is one of very few writers
for the theater to refect explicitly
on the contemporary possibilities,
and limits, of political theater.

Platos Republic
A Dialogue in 16 Chapters
Alain Badiou
Translated by Susan Spitzer and introduction by Kenneth
Reinhard
a radi cal reconcepTi on of plaTo s Republi c,
reasserTi ng i Ts relevance for conTemporarY
audi ences.
Alain Badious translation of Platos Republic is both a work
of literary transformation and, implicitly, a powerful and
original commentary on Plato. Badiou stands virtually
alone among major, modern-day philosophers as a self-
proclaimed Platonist, the champion of what he calls a Pla-
tonism of the multiple, rejecting anti-Platonism and most
contemporary accounts of the thinker. For Badiou, Plato is
the frst philosopher precisely because he established phi-
losophys foundation in mathematics and its antagonistic
relationship to sophistry. He is the predominant warrior in
the eternal battle of philosophy against sophistry, of truth
against opinion, and is the progenitor of the living idea of
communism. It is also from Plato that Badiou derives his
organization of truth into four felds, or sets, of proce-
dures: science, politics, art, and love.
Some readers may be scandalized by Badious liberties
in this translation: his systematic modifcations of Greek
terms, occasional elimination of entire passages, pervasive
anachronistic references (such as AIDS, iPods, and Euros),
and other conspicuous transformations. His language
(and Susan Spitzers translation) is dramatically vivid,
colloquial, colorful, and at times raw and gritty. Socrates
and his interlocutors speak like Europeans or Americans
of today or the recent past, and their cultural references
are both classical and contemporary. Nevertheless, Badiou
remains faithful to the spirit of Platos textand, above all,
to Platos ideas.
alain badiou is professor emeritus at the cole Normale Suprieure
in Paris and the University of Paris VIII (Vincennes-Saint Denis). One
of the most well-known philosophers of our time, he is also a novelist,
playwright, and political activist.
kenneth reinhard is associate professor of English and compara-
tive literature at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the co-
author of The Neighbor: Three Inquiries in Political Theology and After
Oedipus: Shakespeare in Psychoanalysis.
susan spitzer is a frequent translator of Badious works, most
recently, Five Lessons on Wagner and the play The Incident at Antioch.
The hypertranslation serves on
one level as a readable rewriting of
one of platos most significant texts
while on another it serves as a novel
articulation of Badious consistent
interests and sources of inspiration.

The Art of Making Magazines
On Being an Editor and Other Views from the

Edited by Victor S. Navasky and Evan Cornog
Ti Tans of The magazi ne i ndusTrYi ncludi ng

secreTs of a successful puBli caTi on.
From fnding and cultivating authors to efectively incor-
porating art and design, from the importance of fact check-
ing and copyediting to the critical relationship between
advertising dollars and content, this anthology provides a
rare, behind-the-scenes look at the making of a successful
and infuential magazine. It also engages with the indus-
trys most pressing issues, such as the future of magazines
in a digital environment and the increasing pressure of
business interests on editorial decisions, acting as both a
how-to and a how-to-be guide for a variety of readers.
Top editors, writers, art directors, and publishers from
such magazines as Gourmet, The New Yorker, The New
Republic, Elle, and Harpers speak on developing great tal-
ent, obtaining an entry level position that can be parlayed
into a masthead title, managing the interests (and poten-
tial conficts) of various departments, and handling the
requests of advertisers. They explore the creative strategies
and practical mechanics of writing for magazines and the
role of opinion in shaping or enhancing editorial content.
One essay directly confronts the inherent strengths and
weaknesses of womens magazines, while Felix Dennis re-
counts creating Maxim. In other essays, Barbara Wallraf
speaks about the famed copyediting department at The
Atlantic while Ruth Reichl and Tina Brown speculate on
the many changes the magazine industry has undergone
in the past two decades.
victor s. navasky, editor of The Nation from 1978,
became editorial director and publisher in 1995 and
is now its publisher emeritus. He is the George
Delacorte Professor of Magazine Journalism at
Columbia Universitys Graduate School of Journalism,
where he directs the Delacorte Center of Magazines
and chairs the Columbia Journalism Review. He is the
author of Kennedy Justice; Naming Names, which
won a National Book Award; and A Matter of Opinion, which was
awarded the George Polk Book Award.
evan cornog is dean of the School of Communication
at Hofstra University and a former publisher of the
Columbia Journalism Review. He is the author of
three books of political history and served as press
secretary to New York mayor Edward I. Koch. He has
written for The New Yorker, the New York Times, the
Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe, The American
Scholar, and Columbia Journalism Review.
with all the economic challenges
facing magazines, we sometimes
forget how important they are to
the culture. But how do magazines
work? in these fascinating essays,
we learn the intricacies of the maga-
zine from some of the finest editors,
art directors, fact checkers, pub-
lishers, and writers in the business.

Creamy and Crunchy
An Informal History of Peanut Butter, the
All-American Food
Jon Krampner
a homespun hi sTorY of an i coni c ameri can
sTaple.
The frst popular account of one of Americas most be-
loved foods (consumed by more than 75 percent of the
population), Creamy and Crunchy is an entertaining yet
comprehensive history of peanut butters invention and
integration into the American diet. Richly illustrated and
flled with anecdotes and facts culled from unusual and
engaging sources, the book is a mix of interviews and
research, micro-histories, personal histories, and recipes,
focusing on the manufacture of the food from the 1890s
to the present while also covering its cultural, nutritional,
and even molecular evolution.
Jon Krampner begins with peanut butters creation and
the scramble to capitalize on its early success. He pro-
vides in-depth looks at Peter Pan, Skippy, and Jif and ex-
amines why Peter Pan, the frst of the big corporations
to manufacture and market the food, is now a distant
third behind market leaders Skippy and Jif. He examines
the plight of black peanut farmers; the creation of the
Choosy Moms Choose Jif campaign; the role of peanut
butter in fghting Third World hunger; and the salmonel-
la outbreaks of 2007 and 2009 that threatened to derail
peanut butters sacred place in the American cupboard.
Krampner investigates the resurgence of natural, or old-
fashioned, peanut butter; the fve ways todays product is
diferent from the original; why Americans love peanut
butter so much more than people from any other nation;
and the future trajectory of the industry. He concludes
with a best of list featuring top, taste-tested peanut but-
ters and a timeline of key fgures and events. A dedicated
web site maintained by the author, www.creamyand-
crunchy.com, contains additional images and information.
jon krampner is the author of The Man in the
Shadows: Fred Coe and the Golden Age of Television
and Female Brando: The Legend of Kim Stanley. He
received an A.B. in English literature from Occidental
College and a masters degree in journalism from the
University of Wisconsin at Madison. He lives in Los
Angeles.
creamy and crunchy is a fast-
paced, entertaining, and wonder-
fully gossipy look at the history

nutrition to allergies and genetic

The
SECRET FINANCIAL
LIFE of FOOD
from COMMODI TI ES MARKETS to SUPERMARKETS
Kara Newman
The Secret Financial Life of Food
From Commodities Markets to Supermarkets
Kara Newman
The powerful YeT nearlY i nvi si Ble Trans-
acTi ons ThaT deTermi ne whaT and how The
world eaTs.
One morning while reading Barrons magazine, Kara
Newman took note of a casual bit of advice ofered by
famed commodities trader Jim Rogers. Buy breakfast,
he told investors, referring to the value of rising porkbelly
and frozen orange juice futures. The statement inspired
Newman to take a closer look at agricultural commodities,
from the iconic pork belly to the more obscure peppercorn
and nutmeg. The results, recorded in this fascinating his-
tory, show not only how contracts listed on the Chicago Mer-
cantile Exchange can read like a menu but also how market
behavior can dictate global economic and culinary practice.
Just as the Slow Food movement revolutionized the farm-
ers relationship to the table, The Secret Financial Life of
Food reveals the economic pathways connecting food
to consumer, unlocking the mysteries behind culinary
trends, grocery pricing, and restaurant dining. Newmans
lively and compact history travels back to the markets of
ancient Rome and medieval Europe, where vendors frst
distinguished between spot sales and sales for deliv-
ery. She retraces Asias famed spice routes and recounts
the spice craze that prompted Christopher Columbuss
journey to North America, and she links these develop-
ments to modern-day Indias bustling peppercorn mar-
ket. Newman centers her history on corn and its transfor-
mation into a ubiquitous commodity, and she uses oats,
wheat, and rye to recast Americas westward expansion
and the Industrial Revolution. She discusses the efects of
such mega-corporations as Starbucks and McDonalds on
futures markets, and she considers burgeoning markets,
particularly super soybeans, which could scramble the
landscape of food fnance. The ingredients of American
power and culture, and the making of the modern world,
can be found in the history of food-commodities exchange,
and Newman brings this unconventional story to readers
eager to understand the how and why of what they eat.
kara newman is spirits editor for Wine Enthusiast
magazine and the author of two cocktail books,
Cocktails for a Crowd and Spice & Ice. She is the for-
mer vice president of strategic research at Thomson
Reuters and a former board member of the Culinary
Historians of New York. Her work has appeared in the
New York Times, Saveur, and CFO Magazine.
The Secret Financial life of Food
has a pleasant tone that makes it
easy reading, even for non-special-
ists, and i know of no other book
that looks at the topics as broadly or
links the personalities and processes
that have acted upon different com-
modities.

Let the Meatballs Rest
And Other Stories About Food and Culture
Massimo Montanari
Translated by Beth Archer Brombert
an eclecTi c foraY i nTo The culTi vaTi on,
producTi on, and soci al meani ng of food.
Known for his idiosyncratic, entertaining investigations

hungry eye to the phenomenon of food culture, food lore,
cooking methods, and eating habits throughout history.
An irresistible bufet of one hundred concise and engag-
ing essays, this collection provides stimulating food for
thought for those curious about one of lifes most funda-
mental pleasures.
Focusing on the selection, preparation, and mythology

of the pantry over the centuries, the various strategies of
cooking deployed by humans over time, the gastronomy
of famine, the science of favors, the changing character-
istics of convivial rituals, the customs of the table, and
the ever-evolving identity of food. He not only shows that
cooking is a decisive part of our cultural heritage but also
communicates essential information about our material
and intellectual selves. From the invention of basic bread-
making to chocolates acquired reputation for decadence,
Montanari positions food culture as a lens through
which we can plot changes in historical values and social
and economic trends. Even the biblical story of Jacob buy-
ing Esaus birthright for a bowl of lentils is a text full of
essential meaning for Montanari, representing human
civilizations all-important shift from a hunting to an
agrarian society. Readers of all backgrounds will enjoy
these delectable insights and their easy consumption in
one companionable volume.
massimo montanari is professor of medieval history
and the history of food at the Institute of Paleography
and Medieval Studies, University of Bologna. He has

Drinking History
Fifteen Turning Points in the Making of American
Beverages
Andrew F. Smith
The Thri lli ng sTorY Behi nd ameri ca s greaT
Beverage i nvenTi ons.
A companion to Andrew F. Smiths critically acclaimed
and popular Eating History: Thirty Turning Points in the
Making of American Cuisine, this volume recounts the
individuals, ingredients, corporations, controversies,
and myriad events responsible for Americas diverse and
complex beverage scene. He revisits the countrys major
historical moments: colonization, the American Revolu-
tion, the Whiskey Rebellion, the temperance movement,
Prohibition, and repeal, and he tracks the growth of the
American beverage industry throughout the world. The
result is an intoxicating encounter with an often over-
looked aspect of American culture and global infuence.
Whether alcoholic or nonalcoholic, carbonated or cafein-
ated, warm or frozen, watery or thick, spicy or plain
Americans have invented, adopted, modifed, and com-
mercialized tens of thousands of beverages. These
include uncommon cocktails, varieties of cofee and milk,
and such iconic creations as Welchs grape juice, Coca-
Cola, root beer, and Kool-Aid. Involved in their creation
and promotion were entrepreneurs and environmental-
ists, bartenders and bottlers, politicians and lobbyists,
organized and unorganized criminals, teetotalers and
drunks, German and Italian immigrants, savvy advertis-
ers and gullible consumers, prohibitionists and medical
professionals, and everyday Americans in love with their
brew. Smith weaves a wild history full of surprising sto-
ries and explanations for such classic slogans as taxa-
tion without representation; the lips that touch wine will
never touch mine; and rum, Romanism, and rebellion.
He reintroduces readers to Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefer-
son, George Washington, and the colorful John Chapman
(Johnny Appleseed), and he rediscovers Americas vast lit-
erary and cultural engagement with beverages and their
relationship to politics, identity, and health.
andrew f. smith teaches food history at the New
School in Manhattan. He is the author or editor of
twenty-three books, including Eating History: Thirty
Turning Points in the Making of American Cuisine. Smith
frequently appears on television programs and has a
website, www.andrewfsmith.com.

LoveKnowledge
The Life of Philosophy from Socrates to
Derrida
Roy Brand
an unconvenTi onal i nTroducTi on To The
Tensi ons ThaT power our search for
Knowledge.
Since its inception, philosophy has been more
than an abstract search for truth or a body of
knowledge. It perfects ones understanding by
means of discussion and dialogue and personal,
poetic, or dramatic investigation. Philosophers
such as Socrates, Spinoza, Rousseau, Nietzsche,
Foucault, and Derrida difer in almost every re-
spect, yet they share a common method of prac-
ticing philosophynot as a detached, intellectual
discipline, but as a worldly art.
Reading key philosophical texts from classical
Greece to the present day, Roy Brand explores the
fundamental role of passion, desire, and love in
the development of Western philosophy. He then
examines the character of knowledge love has
created. LoveKnowledge returns to the long tradi-
tion of philosophy as an exercise not only of the
mind but also of the soul, asking whether phi-
losophy can shape and inform our lives and com-
munities. Each chapter focuses on a major phi-
losophers seminal work and central motivation,
opening with a brief biography encouraging read-
ers to compare the philosophers life and world-
view. Popular philosophy in the best sense,
LoveKnowledge proves the vitality and relevance
of the disciplines most important questions and
perplexing texts. Steering clear of jargon without
oversimplifying the narrative, the volume draws
readers into the active and emotional dimensions
of knowledge production.

Erich Fromm was a political activist, psychologist, psycho-
analyst, philosopher, and one of the most important intel-
lectuals of the twentieth century. Known for his theories of
personality and political insight, Fromm dissected the sado-
masochistic appeal of brutal dictators while also eloquently
championing lovewhich, he insisted, was nothing if it did
not involve joyful contact with others and humanity at large.
Admired all over the world, Fromm continues to inspire
with his message of universal brotherhood and the quest
for lasting peace.
The frst systematic study of Fromms infuences and
achievements, this biography revisits the thinkers most im-
portant works, especially Escape from Freedom and The Art
of Loving, which conveyed important and complex ideas to
millions of readers. The volume recounts Fromms political
activism as a founder and major funder of Amnesty Inter-
national, the National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy,
and other peace groups. Consulting rare archival materials
across the globe, Lawrence J. Friedman reveals Fromms
support for anti-Stalinist democratic movements in Central
and Eastern Europe and his eforts to revitalize American
democracy. For the frst time, readers learn about Fromms
direct contact with high ofcials in the American govern-
ment on matters of war and peace while accessing a deeper
understanding of his conceptual diferences with Freud, his
rapport with neo-Freudians like Karen Horney and Harry
Stack Sullivan, and his association with innovative artists,
public intellectuals, and world leaders. Friedman elucidates
Fromms key intellectual contributions, especially his inno-
vative concept of social character, in which social institu-
tions and practices shape the inner psyche, and he clarifes
Fromms conception of love as an acquired skill.

Robert Hagstrom is one of the best-known authors of
investment books for general audiences. Turning his ex-
tensive experience as a portfolio manager at Legg Mason
Capital Management into valuable guidance for profes-
sionals and nonprofessionals alike, he is the author of six
successful books on investment, including The Warren
Bufett Way, a New York Times best-seller that has sold
more than a million copies.
In this updated second edition of Investing: The Last
Liberal Art, Hagstrom explores basic and fundamental
investing concepts in a range of felds outside of econom-
ics, including physics, biology, sociology, psychology, phi-
losophy, and literature. He discusses, for instance, how
the theory of evolution disrupts the notion of the efcient
market and how reading strategies for literature can be
gainfully applied to investing research. Building on Char-
lie Mungers famous latticework of mental models con-
cept, Hagstrom argues that it is impossible to make good
investment decisions based solely on a strong knowledge of
fnance theory. He reinforces his concepts with additional
data and a new chapter on mathematics, and updates his
text throughout to refect the developments of the past de-
cade, particularly the seismic economic upheaval of 2008.
He has also added a hundred new titles to the invaluable
reading list that concludes the book.

Creative Strategy
A Handbook for Innovation
William Duggan
a groundBreaKi ng gui de To how i nnovaTi on
reallY happens.
William Duggans 2007 book, Strategic Intuition, showed
how innovation really happens in business and other
felds and how that matches with what modern neurosci-
ence tells us about how creative ideas form in the human
mind. In his new book, Creative Strategy, Duggan ofers a
step-by-step guide to help individuals and companies put
that same method to work for their innovations.
Duggans book solves the most important problem of
how innovation actually happens. Other methods of cre-
ativity, strategy, and innovation explain how to research
and analyze a situation, but they dont give guidance on
the next step: a creative idea for what to do. Or they rely
on the magic of brainstormingjust tossing out ideas.
Instead, Duggan shows how creative strategy follows the
natural three-step method of the human brain: it breaks
down a problem into parts and then searches for past ex-
amples in memory to come up with a new combination to
solve the problem. Thats how innovation really happens.
Duggan explains how to follow these three steps to in-
novate in business or any other feld as an individual, a
team, or a whole company. The crucial middle stepa
search for past examplestakes readers beyond their
own brains to a what-works scan of what others have
done within and outside of the company, industry, and
country. This is a global search for good ideas to com-
bine as a new innovation. Duggan illustrates creative
strategy with real-world cases of innovation that use the
same method, from Netfix to Edison, and from Google
to Henry Ford. He also shows how to integrate creative
strategy into other methods one might currently use, such
as Porters Five Forces or Design Thinking. Creative Strategy
takes the mystery out of innovation and puts it within grasp.
william duggan is senior lecturer in business at Colum-
bia Business School, where he teaches creative strategy
in graduate and executive courses. He has given talks and
workshops on creative strategy to thousands of execu-
tives from companies in countries around the world. His
most recent book, Strategic Intuition, was named Best
Strategy Book of 2007 by Strategy + Business.

Chinas Search for Security
Andrew J. Nathan and Andrew Scobell
Two asi an securi TY experTs relaTe chi na s

and offer a Bluepri nT for fuTure relaTi ons.
Despite its impressive size and population, economic vi-
tality, and drive to upgrade its military capabilities, China
remains a vulnerable nation surrounded by powerful ri-
vals and potential foes. The key to understanding Chinas
foreign policy is to grasp these geostrategic challenges,
which persist even as the country comes to dominate its
neighbors. Andrew J. Nathan and Andrew Scobell ana-
lyze Chinas security concerns on four fronts: at home,
with its immediate neighbors, in surrounding regional
systems, and in the world beyond Asia. By illuminating
the issues driving Chinese policy, they ofer new perspec-
tive on Chinas rise and a strategy for balancing Chinese
and American interests in Asia.
Though rooted in the present, Nathan and Scobells study
makes ample use of the past, reaching into history to con-
textualize the people and institutions shaping Chinese
strategy. They examine Chinese views of the United
States; explain why China is so concerned about Japan;
and uncover Chinas interests in such trouble spots as
North Korea, Iran, and the Sudan. The authors probe re-
cent troubles in Tibet and Xinjiang and establish links to
forces beyond Chinas borders. They consider the tactics
deployed by both sides of mainland China and Taiwans
complicated relationship, as Taiwan seeks to maintain
autonomy while China tries to move toward unifca-
tion, and they evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of
Chinas three main power resourceseconomic power,
military power, and soft power. The book concludes with
recommendations for the United States as it seeks to man-
age Chinas rise. Chinese policy makers understand that
the nations prosperity, stability, and security depend on
cooperation with the United States, and if handled wisely,
relations between the two countries could produce mutu-
ally benefcial outcomes in Asia and throughout the world.

Poetry of the Taliban
Edited by Alex Strick van Linschoten, Felix Kuehn
Preface by Faisal Devji
a rare encounTer wi Th The aesTheTi c achi eve-
menTs of one of The world s mosT noTori ous
mi li TanT groups.
Most Taliban fghters are Pashtuns who cherish their
vibrant poetic traditions, which mirror those of song.
While much has been written about the Talibans mili-
tary tactics, media strategy, and harsh treatment of
women, scholars often overlook this cultural and less
overtyet no less revealingpolitical practice.
The poems in this collection are meant to be recited and
sung, and this is the manner in which they are enjoyed
by the wider Pashtun public. From audiotapes traded in
secret in Kandahars bazaars and MP3s exchanged via
bluetooth in Kabul to video fles downloaded in Dubai
and London, Taliban poetry transcends demographic
and geographic boundaries. These poems, or ghazals, re-
mind their listeners of the war against the Soviets in the
1980s, when similar rhetorical styles, poetic formulae,
and tricks with meter inspired and united mujahideen
combatants and noncombatants alike. The poems in
this volume feature classics of the genre, which gained
popularity during the 1980s and 1990s. It also contains
a selection of recent odes and ghazals that reference the
events of current conficts. Ranging from nationalist pae-
ans to richly symbolic dirges, these poems cover many
themes and styles, intertwining the political with the
aesthetic and celebrating life in the face of devastating
loss. Two introductory essays culturally and historically
contextualize these poems, relating their signifcance to
Pashtun communities and their refection of a culture
inundated by thirty years of war. Faisal Devji, an author-
ity on the ethical landscape of Islamists, underscores the
link between these poems and the Talibans emotional
and ethical character.
alex strick van linschoten and felix kuehn are researchers and
writers permanently based in Kandahar. They have worked in Afghani-
stan since 2006, focusing on the Taliban insurgency and the history of

Ahighly original and extremely important book which by making the Talibans
poems available in English arguably sheds more light on the Taliban and
its resilience than could any organisational chart or force assessment. More
signifcantly, it draws attention to the crucial role that aesthetics and emotions as
opposed to resources and doctrines play in military organisations. As such, this
may be the frst poetry book of strategic signifcance.
Tomas Hegghammer, author of Jihad In Saudi Arabia and co-author of Al-Qaida in
its Own Words
Tis is an essential work. ... In compiling the poetry of the Taliban, these young
scholars have preserved the intimate and the expansive, ranging frompastoral
imagery of the Afghan countryside, to satire on global politics and rich references
to Afghan, Muslimand biblical history. In the process they go beyond humanising
the Taliban towards understanding them. Te same Taliban, known to the world
as cultural morons, turn out to have inspired a corpus of poetry which links to the
fnest civilisational accomplishments of Pashto, Farsi, Urdu and Arabic. ... If anyone
still wonders on which cultural resources the Taliban drewto inspire a people to
resist a dull global plan to modernise them, read on.
Michael Semple, Harvard University and former EUrepresentative in Afghanistan
Aremarkable and important book that reveals a hitherto concealed side to the
harshly perceived Afghan Taliban. In Poetry of the Taliban, we see that within
the movement there are warriors who have wounded hearts, lyrical souls, and a
passionate love of language and ideas.
Jon Lee Anderson, author of Te Lions Grave: Dispatches from Afghanistan
14.99
Overlooked by many as mere propaganda,
the poetry of the Afghan Taliban ofers an
unfettered insight into their wider worldview.
Tis collection of over two hundred poems draws
upon Afghan tradition and the recent past as
much as upon a long history of Persian, Urdu and
Pashto verse. Te contrast between the severity
of their ideology and the Talibans long-standing
poetic tradition is nothing short of remarkable.
Unrequited love, vengeance, the thrill of battle,
religion and nationalism even a yearning for
non-violence are expressed through images
of wine, powerful women and pastoral beauty,
providing a fascinating insight into the hearts and
minds of these redoubtable adversaries.
Whether describing an air strike on a
wedding party or lamenting,We did all of this
to ourselves , it is concerned not with politics,
but with identity, and a full, textured, deeply
conficted humanity.
It is such impassioned descriptions
sorrowfully defeated and enraged, triumphant,
bitterly powerless or bitingly satirical and not
the austere arguments of myriad analysts that
will ultimately defne and endure as a record of
the war in Afghanistan.
Tese poems expose something of the full,
textured, deeply conficted humanity of those who
actively consume and recirculate them, those who
may be insurgents while also being humans. In
providing such a picture, theinsurgent is restored
a sense of humanity, and agency, and thus even (as
the editors note) an accountability for violence that
would be impossible to expect froma mere avatar.
Dr James Caron, University of Pennsylvania
By turns angry, idealistic, or cynically witty, these
Taliban poets can leave none unmoved by verse that
conjures up Persian metaphysics, Muslimtraditions
and a Pashtun quest for honour. Indeed, as
enemies triumphs and ruination in their mountain
homeland tests these mujahedeens faith in God,
some even echo the shock, sense of betrayal and
despair of Britains First World War poets.
Hugh Pope, author of Dining with al-Qaeda and
Sons of the Conquerors

lee Boyd malvos chaotic life at the

murder provides compelling insight
into the mitigating circumstances of

Kathleen Carty, President, National
Organization of Forensic Social Work
The Making of Lee Boyd Malvo
The D.C. Sniper
Carmeta Albarus, MSW, LCSW, with forensic
analysis by Jonathan H. Mack, Psy.D.
In October of 2002, a series of sniper attacks paralyzed the
Washington Beltway, turning normally placid gas stations,
parking lots, restaurants, and school grounds into chaotic
killing felds. At the end of the spree, ten people were dead
and several others wounded. The perpetrators were forty-
one-year-old John Allen Muhammad and his seventeen-
year-old protg, Lee Boyd Malvo.
Called in by the judge to serve on Malvos defense team, so-
cial worker Carmeta Albarus was instructed by the court to
uncover any information that might help mitigate the death
sentence the teen faced. Albarus met with Malvo numer-
ous times and repeatedly traveled back to his homeland of
Jamaica, as well as to Antigua, to interview his parents, fam-
ily members, teachers, and friends. What she uncovered
was the story of a once promising, intelligent young man,
whose repeated abuse and abandonment left him detached
from his biological parents and desperate for guidance and
support. In search of a father fgure, Malvo instead found
John Muhammad, a veteran of the frst Gulf War who in-
tentionally shaped his protg through a ruthlessly efcient
campaign of brainwashing, sniper training, and race ha-
tred, turning the susceptible teen into an angry, raging, and
dissociated killer with no empathy for his victims.
In this intimate and carefully documented account, Alba-
rus details the nature of Malvos tragic attachment to his
perceived hero father Muhammad, his indoctrination,
and his subsequent dissociation. She recounts her role as a
forensic social worker/mitigation specialist bringing about
Malvos extrication from the psychological clutches of Mu-
hammad, which led to a dramatic courtroom confrontation
with the man who manipulated and exploited him. Jona-
than H. Mack identifes and analyzes the underlying clin-
ical-psychological and behavioral processes that led to Mal-
vos dissociation and turn toward serial violence. With this
tragic tale, the authors emphasize the importance of parental
attachment and the need for positive and loving relationships
during the critical years of early childhood development.
carmeta albarus is a forensic social worker of national
prominence with over twenty years of experience as a miti-
gation specialist. She is qualified as an expert in both state
and federal courts in psychosocial investigations and assess-
ments and is president and founder of CVA Consulting
Services Inc., a forensic social work agency based in Harlem.

ing industry in almost every postcolonial culture. This is
surprising, given the tainted role of heritage in so much
of the history of colonialism. Yet the postcolonial state,
like its European predecessor of the eighteenth and nine-
teenth centuries, deploys heritage institutions and in-
struments, museums, courts of law, and universities to
empower itself with unity, longevity, exaltation of value,
origin, and destiny.
Bringing the eye of a philosopher, the pen of an essayist,
and the experience of a public intellectual to the study
of heritage, Herwitz reveals the febrile pitch at which
heritage is staked. In this absorbing book, he travels to
South Africa and unpacks its controversial and robust
confrontations with the colonial and apartheid past. He
visits India and reads in its modern art the gesture of a
newly minted heritage idealizing the precolonial world as
the source of Indian modernity. He traverses the United
States and fnds in its heritage of incessant invention,
small-town exceptionalism, and settler destiny a key to
contemporary American media-driven politics. Herwitz
takes the temperature of heritage, showing how desta-
bilizing, ambivalent, and potentially dangerous it is as
a producer of contemporary social, aesthetic, and politi-
cal realities. Heritage is the perfect embodiment of the
struggle to seize culture and society at moments of pro-
found social change.

The Art of Philosophy
Wisdom as a Practice
Peter Sloterdijk
Translated by Karen Margolis
a posThumani sT defense of phi losophY ThaT
emphasi zes i Ts pracTi cal and i nTellecTual
conTri BuTi ons To modern li fe.
In his best-selling book You Must Change Your Life!, Pe-
ter Sloterdijk argued exercise and practice were crucial to
the human condition. In The Art of Philosophy, he extends
this critique to academic science and scholarship, cast-
ing the training processes of academic study as key to the
production of sophisticated thought. Infused with humor
and provocative insight, The Art of Philosophy further in-
tegrates philosophy and human existence, richly detail-
ing the foundations of this relationship and its transfor-
mative role in making the postmodern self.
Sloterdijk begins with Platos description of Socrates,
whose internal monologues were so absorbing they often
rooted the philosopher in place. The original academy,
Sloterdijk argues, taught scholars to lose themselves in
thought, and todays universities continue this tradi-
tion by ofering scope for Platos accommodations for
absences. By training scholars to practice thinking as an
occupation transcending daily time and space, universi-
ties create the mental capacity for thought that makes
wisdom possible. Traversing the history of asceticism,
the concept of suspended animation, and the theory of
the neutral observer, Sloterdijk traces the evolution of
philosophical practice from ancient times to today, show-
ing how scholars can remain true to the tradition of the
examined life even when the temporal dimension no
longer corresponds to the eternal. Building on the work
of Husserl, Heidegger, Nietzsche, Arendt, and other prac-
titioners of the life of theory, Sloterdijk launches a post-
humanist defense of philosophical inquiry and its every-
day, therapeutic value.
peter sloterdijk is professor of aesthetics and philosophy at the
Institute of Design in Karlsruhe and teaches at the Academy of Fine
Arts in Vienna. Recently named one of the worlds top intellectuals by
Prospect and Foreign Policy magazines, his numerous works include
Rage and Time: A Psychopolitical Investigation and the best-selling
Critique of Cynical Reason.
i am unaware of any other writer
who so successfully merges creative
rethinking of the philosophical and
religious past. in this respect, i think
sloterdijk's work represents for me
something like a gold standard. . . .
The text is humorous, provocative,
and deeply insightful.

The Utopia of Film
Cinema and Its Futures in Godard, Kluge, and Tahimik
Christopher Pavsek
explori ng The worK of Three vi si onarY
auTeurs deeplY i nvesTed i n The poli Ti cal
possi Bi li Ti es of fi lm.
The German flmmaker Alexander Kluge has long pro-
moted cinemas relationship with the goals of human
emancipation. Jean-Luc Godard and the Filipino director
Kidlat Tahimik also believe in cinemas ability to bring
about what Theodor W. Adorno once called a redeemed
world, even in the face of new cultural and technological
challenges. In three groundbreaking essays, Christopher
Pavsek showcases these utopian visions, drawing atten-
tion to their strengths, weaknesses, and undeniable im-
pact on flms political evolution.
Pavsek approaches Godard, Tahimik, and Kluge as think-
ers frst, situating their flms within debates over social
revolution, utopian ideals, and the unrealized potential of
utopian thought and action. He replays the battle these
artists waged against Hollywood interests, the seduction
of other digital media, and the privileging of mass enter-
tainment over cinemas progressive, revolutionary roots.
He discusses Godards early work, Alphaville (1965),
against his later flms, Germany Year 90 Nine-Zero (1991)
and JLG/JLG: Self-portrait in December (1994), and con-
ducts the frst scholarly reading of Film Socialisme (2010)
and its new form of utopian optimism. He considers Ta-
himiks virtually unknown masterpiece, I Am Furious
Yellow (19811991), along with his major works, Perfumed
Nightmare (1977) and Turumba (1983), in which he calls
on the anticolonial impulses of his native Philippines to
resist Western commodity culture. He constructs a dia-
logue between Kluges earliest flms, Brutality in Stone
(1961) and Yesterday Girl (1965), and his later The Assault
of the Present on the Rest of Time (1985) and Fruits of Trust
(2009), noting a utopianism deeply indebted to Marx and
Adorno yet designed to appeal to modern sensibilities. In
the thwarted ambitions, disappointed hopes, and thrill-
ing experiments of these forward-thinking flmmakers,
Pavsek reinforces an important chapter in the history of
flm and its relevance to political flmmaking today.
christopher pavsek is assistant professor of film in
the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser
University in Vancouver. His films include The One and
All (2002) and To Those Born After (2005), and he is

Where Film Meets Philosophy
Godard, Resnais, and Experiments in Cinematic
Thinking
Hunter Vaughan
hunter vaughans brilliant book, Where Film Meets
philosophy, places him on the cutting edge of con-
temporary studies that blend film and philosophy. By
reconstructing and clarifying how film-philosophy ren-
ders fresh insight into the revolutionary potential of
the moving film image, vaughan opens a new dimen-
sion to thought and action. Sam B. Girgus, Vanderbilt
University
Closely reading the flms of Jean-Luc Godard and Alain
Resnais, Hunter Vaughan explores the phenomenology
of the moving image and its challenge to conventional
modes of thought. Laying the foundations for an ap-
proach called flm-philosophy, he devises a systematic
theory of flms philosophical function and its decon-
struction of classic oppositional concepts, such as subject
and object, real and imaginary, and interior and exterior.
Vaughan frst merges Maurice Merleau-Pontys theory of
subject-object relations with Gilles Deleuzes image-phi-
losophy. He then applies this rich framework to a com-
parative analysis of Godard and Resnais. Godards work
critiques the audio-visual illusion of empirical observa-
tion (objectivity), while Resnaiss innovative play with the
sound-image generates new, thrilling portrayals of in-
dividual experience (subjectivity). Both radically decon-
struct classical flm codes to upend conventional notions
of subjectivity and, by reorganizing formal elements,
reconfgure subject-object relations to alter our under-
standing of ourselves and the world. Films discussed in-
clude Godards Vivre sa vie (1962) and his lesser discussed
2 or 3 Things I Know About Her (1967); and Resnaiss
Hiroshima, mon amour (1959), along with his critically
overlooked masterpiece, The War Is Over (1966). Situat-
ing the formative works of these flmmakers within the
twentieth centurys broader philosophical developments,
Vaughan pioneers a phenomenological flm semiotics
that reconciles the approaches of two disparate method-
ologies and joins them to the achievements of two seem-
ingly oppositional artists.
hunter vaughan is assistant professor of English
and cinema studies at Oakland University. His research
and writing interests include film and philosophy,
transnational and transmedial culture, and arts and the
environment.
vaughans discussions of the
flms of resnais and godard are
incisive and engaging, providing
welcome relief from the difculties
of abstruse philosophical debates,
ofering clarifcation of the practi-
cal implications of the theoretical
points, and enriching the abstract
concepts via a penetrating treat-
ment of the specifc techniques of
flm form as, in themselves, modes
of thought with far-reaching concep-
tual implications.

Reforming Democracies
Six Facts About Politics That Demand a New Agenda
Douglas A. Chalmers

Even well-established democracies need reform, and any
successful efort to reform democracies must look be-
yond conventional institutionselections, political par-
ties, special interests, legislatures and their relations with
chief executivesto do so. Expanding a traditional vision
of the institutions of representative democracy, Douglas
A. Chalmers examines six aspects of political practice re-
lating to the people being represented, the structure of
those who make law and policy, and the links between
those structures and the people. Chalmers concludes
with recommendations for successful reform, which
requires that we pay attention to a democratic ordering
of the constant reconfguration of decision making pat-
terns; that we recognize the crucial role of information
in deliberation; and that we incorporate noncitizens and
foreigners into the political system, even when they are
not the principal benefciaries.

a cri mi nologi cal i nvesTi gaTi on i nTo The

di Ti ons creaTi ng The 2008 fi nanci al collapse.
An international team of scholars with backgrounds in
criminology, sociology, economics, business, govern-
ment regulation, and law examine the historical, social,
and cultural causes of the 2008 economic crisis. They
also take stock of the long-term devastation done to gov-
ernments, businesses, and individuals and the ongoing,
systemic issues that have so far allowed the perpetrators
to get away with their crimes.
Insightful essays probe the workings of the toxic sub-
prime-loan industry, the role of external auditors, the con-
sequences of Wall Street deregulation, the manipulations of
alpha hedge-fund managers, and the Ponzi-like culture of
contemporary capitalism. They unravel modern fnances
complex schematics and highlight their susceptibility to
corruption, fraud, and outright racketeering. They examine
the involvement of enablers, including accountants, lawyers,
credit rating agencies, and regulatory workers, who failed to
protect the public interest and enforce existing checks and
balances. While the United States was ground zero of the
meltdown, the fnancial crimes of other countries intensi-
fed the disaster. Internationally focused essays consider
bad practice in China and the European property markets,
and they draw attention to the far-reaching consequences of
transnational money-laundering and tax-evasion schemes.
By approaching the 2008 crisis from the perspective of
white-collar criminology, contributors build a more gen-
eral understanding of the collapse, and they crystallize the
multiple human and institutional factors preventing justice
from capturing even the worst ofenders.

Fountainhead of Jihad is a groundbreaking
research work by two recognized specialists
of the region who have accessed extremely
valuable primary sources never studied be-
fore. it deconstructs the commonly held view
that the haqqani network is a local actor pre-
occupied with local concerns and shows very
convincingly how al Qaeda and the haqqani
network evolved together and have remained
intertwined throughout their history. it also
shows how the haqqanis keep sheltering and
supporting groups engaged in global jihad.

Drawing on a wealth of previously unstudied pri-
mary sources in several languages, Vahid Brown
and Don Rassler map the anatomy of a group
frequently described as the most lethal actor in
the Afghan insurgency. The Haqqani network
has for decades operated at the center of a trans-
national nexus of Islamist militancy, lending sup-
port to the development of jihadi organizations
from Southeast Asia to East Africa. Pouring over
abundant new evidence documenting the Haqqa-
ni network's pivotal role in the birth and evolu-
tion of the global jihadi movement, this volume
also signifcantly advances our knowledge of the
history of al-Qaeda by fundamentally altering the
portrait painted by existing literature on the subject.

Russian Politics
The Paradox of a Weak State
Marie Mendras
TaKi ng sTocK of The russi an sTaTe
TwenTY Years afTer The fall of
communi sm.
In recent years, it seems as if Russia's rulers
even its citizenryhave turned their backs on
democracy and the rule of law. Putin's regime is
often in opposition to Europe and maintains only
strained relations with the rest of the world.
Exploring the reasons behind these paradoxical
developments is the key focus of this thorough
and necessary book. Marie Mendras, a leading in-
ternational scholar on Russia, provides an original
and incisive analysis of the state's political system
since Mikhail Gorbachev's perestroika. Contrary
to arguments that claim otherwise, Mendras con-
tends that the Russian state has become weak
and inefective. Vladimir Putin has dismantled
and undermined most public institutions and
has consolidated a patronage system of rule. The
Dmitry Medvedev presidency is but one chapter
in this disheartening story. Political and eco-
nomic power remains concentrated in the hands
of just a few elite groups and individuals, who re-
main loyal to Putin's leadership in exchange for
status and prosperity. Those who helm the state
are therefore unaccountable to the society they
govern, and, up until the economic crisis of 2008,
living standards had markedly improved, giving
ordinary Russians no reason to question these
authoritarian methods. Nevertheless, while the eco-
nomic slowdown and renewed hardships have put
Russia's leadership under the microscope, the Putin
model has remained resiliant.
marie mendras is professor of government at Sciences
Po, Paris, and a researcher with the National Centre for
Scientific Research (CNRS). She earned her degrees at
Sciences Po, the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced
International Studies, and Harvard University.

War from the Ground Up
Twenty-First Century Combat as Politics
Emile Simpson
Translated by George Holoch Jr.
What are the consequences of civil societys growing
merger with military afairs, and how can liberal societ-
ies exploit them?
Recent wars in Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan, as well as
other global conficts, have shown that, between liberal
powers and their armed forces, the line between mili-
tary activities and political policy has completely broken
down. While this overlap may be highly efective in op-
erational terms (it leads to great results on the ground), it
strategically erases the vital distinction between war and
peace. This, Emile Simpson contends, is a fundamentally
worrisome trend. Is it possible for public policy to control
the armed forces when the armed forces are a direct ex-
tension of public policy?
Simpsons inquiry centers on this dilemma. As the media
and the Internet increasingly politicize combat, the close
ties between public policy and the military are becom-
ing irreversible. Simpson concentrates less on whether
the West should curb these developments and more on
how to manage, gain advantage from, and mitigate the
risks of modern warfares evolution. While liberal powers
must win their conficts on the ground, they also have
a critical obligation to preserve the distinctions between
war and peace. Failure to do so could trap liberal powers
in endless conficts for which they are operationally ill-
equipped, as evidenced by the twenty-frst-century wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan. War from the Ground Up therefore
ofers a unique encounter with the contemporary realities
and ideas of war now taking shape across the globe.
emile simpson is a former British Army officer with
the Royal Gurkha Rifles, which he joined after gradu-
ating with a degree in classics from Oxford University.
Between 2007 and 2011, he completed three tours in
Afghanistan.

this one is, too. his latest offering is
a rich synthesis of ideas and intel-

annals of literature, philosophy,

How Twenty-first Century Technology Is Changing

Christopher Coker

menTallY changi ng The naTure of comBaT.
Warrior Geeks surveys the technologies aiming to incor-
porate soldiers into a cybernetic system through which
the military can read their thoughts and mold them ac-
cordingly. It considers the anticipated cooperation of
men and robots on the battlefelds of tomorrow, and it
measures the extent to which armies may one day be
able to reengineer warriors through pharmacological
manipulation.
Harking back to the Greeks and Aristotles original concep-
tion of virtue ethics and the proper contours of war, Chris-
topher Coker believes modern humans are on the verge of
losing touch with their humanity. War can only be rendered
more humane if we recall the wisdom of our ancestors, he
claims, yet unfortunately modern society is about to subcon-
tract its ethical self to machines. In revaluing technology,
we devalue our humanity, or the posthuman condition. By
changing our functional and performative relationship to
technology, we irrevocably alter our subjectivity and the ex-
istential dimensions of war.
Posthuman warfare is a continuation of the symbiotic re-
lationship between humanity and war. This study is a frst
and raises questions about the future of the relationship
among humanity, technology, and war.

neTworKs and Thei r phenomenal gloBal reach.
Since 2007, the German jihadist scene has become Eu-
ropes most dynamic, characterized by an extreme anti-
Americanism, impressive international networks, and
spectacular propaganda. German jihadists travel to Tur-
key, Chechnya, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, trading in ji-
hadist ideologies and allying themselves with virulent or-
ganizations. Mapping the complicated interplay between
jihadists personal motivations and the goals and strate-
gies of the worlds major terrorist groups, Guido Steinberg
provides the frst analysis of German jihadism, its links
to Turkey, and its growing, global operational importance.
Steinberg follows the formation of German-born militant
networks in German cities and their radicalization and
recruitment. He describes how these groups join up with
al-Qaeda-afliated organizations in Afghanistan and
Pakistan, such as the Islamic Jihad Union, the Islamic
Movement of Uzbekistan, and the Taliban, and he plots
the path that directly involves them in terrorist activities.
Situating these developments within a wider global con-
text, Steinberg interprets the expanding German scene
as part of a greater internationalization of jihadist ideol-
ogy and strategy, swelling the movements membership
since 9/11. Increasing numbers of Pakistanis, Afghans,
Turks, Kurds, and European converts have come to the
aid of Arab al-Qaeda, an incremental integration that has
worrisome implications for the national security of Ger-
many, the United States, and their allies.

form of slaverY i n The world TodaY.
In Sex Trafcking: Inside the Business of Modern Slavery,
Siddharth Kara conducted one of the most comprehen-
sive, systematic accounts of the global sex-trafcking in-
dustry. His book became a widely consulted resource not
only for its uncommon revelations into an unconsciona-
ble business but also for its detailed analysis of the trades
immense economic benefts and corresponding human
costs. Sex Trafcking has become an invaluable resource
for policy makers, womens and human rights activists,
NGO workers, and specialists in dozens of related felds,
as well as for university scholars and everyday citizens.
Bonded Labor: Tackling the System of Slavery in South Asia
is Karas second explosive study of slavery, this time fo-
cusing on the pervasive, deeply entrenched, and wholly
unjust system of bonded labor. From his eleven years of
research in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, Kara
delves into this ancient and ever-evolving mode of slav-
ery, which ensnares roughly six out of every ten slaves in
the world and generates profts that exceeded $17.6 billion
in 2011. In addition to providing a thorough economic,
historical, and legal overview of bonded labor, Kara trav-
els to the far reaches of South Asia, from cyclone-wracked
southwestern Bangladesh to the Thar desert on the In-
dia-Pakistan border, to uncover the brutish realities of
bonded labor in such industries as hand-woven-carpet
making, tea and rice farming, construction, brick manu-
facture, and frozen-shrimp production. He describes the
violent enslavement of millions of impoverished women,
children, and men who toil in the production of numer-
ous products at minimal cost to the global market. He
also follows supply chains directly to Western consum-
ers, vividly connecting regional bonded-labor practices
to the appetites of the world. Karas pioneering analysis
encompasses human trafcking, child labor, and global
security, and he concludes with ten specifc initiatives to
eliminate the system of bonded labor from South Asia
once and for all.
siddharth kara is one of the worlds foremost experts on human
trafficking and contemporary slavery. He holds positions on human
trafficking at two centers at Harvard University, the Carr Center for
Human Rights Policy at the Kennedy School of Government and the

The Evolution of the Preliterate Imagination

The developmenT of our speci es can Tell us
aBouT The ori gi ns of language and The
verBal i magi naTi on.
In Paleopoetics, Christopher Collins introduces an excit-
ing new feld of research that traverses evolutionary bi-
ology, anthropology, archaeology, cognitive psychology,
linguistics, neuroscience, and literary study. Palaeopoet-
ics maps the selective processes that shaped the human
genus millions of years ago and prepared the human
brain to play, imagine, empathize, and engage in fctive
thought as mediated by language. A manifestation of the
cognitive turn in the humanities, this study calls for a
broader, more integrated interpretation of the reading ex-
perience, one that restores our connection to the ancient
methods of thought production still resonating within us.
Speaking with authority on the scientifc aspects of cogni-
tive poetics, Collins proposes that reading literature uses
cognitive skills that predate language and writing. These
include the brains capacity to perceive the visible world,
store its images, and retrieve them later to form simu-
lated mental events. Long before humans could share
stories through speech, they perceived, remembered, and
imagined their own inner narratives. Drawing on a wide
range of evidence, Collins builds an evolutionary bridge
between humans development of sensorimotor skills and
their achievement of linguistic cognition, bringing cur-
rent scientifc perspective to such issues as the structure
of narrative, the distinction between metaphor and met-
onymy, the relation of rhetoric to poetics, the relevance of
performance theory to reading, the diference between oral-
ity and writing, and the nature of play and imagination.

Edited by Jeffrey J. Williams and Heather
Steffen

crafT and The personal moTi vaTi ons ThaT

This original anthology asks thirty-six leading literary
and cultural critics to elaborate on the nature of their
profession. With the humanities feeling the pinch of f-
nancial and political pressures, and its disciplines rest-
ing on increasingly uncertain conceptual ground, there
couldnt be a better time for critics to reassert their wide-
spread relevance and purpose. These credos boldly de-
fend the function of criticism in contemporary society
and culture and showcase the practices vital benefts in
the era after theory.
Several essays respond to the state of higher education,
focusing on issues such as academic labor and the place
of graduate work. Others argue for a renewal of criti-
cisms role in sustaining literature and humanistic val-
ues. Contributors testify to the importance of teaching
and its production of rich critical perspectives. They ex-
plicitly discuss politics, not in terms of partisanship but
in regards to the circumstances that form political posi-
tions and the criticism that can arise from ones experi-
ences. Deeply personal and engaging, these stories move,
amuse, and inspire, ultimately encouraging the reader to
develop his or her own critical credo with which to ap-
proach the world. Refecting on the past, looking forward
to the future, and committed to the power of productive
critical thought, this volume proves the value of criticism
for todays skeptical audiences.

Seeking to reenergize Americans passion for the space
program, the value of the Moon, and the importance of
humans in the fnal frontier, Claude A. Piantadosi pres-
ents a rich history of American space exploration and its
extraordinary achievements. He emphasizes the impor-
tance of continuing manned and unmanned space mis-
sions to American and human interests, and he stresses
the many adventures that still await us in the unfolding
universe. Remaining cognizant of space explorations
practical and fnancial obstacles, Piantadosi nevertheless
challenges us to revitalize our leadership in space and
reap its vast scientifc bounty.
Along with being a captivating story of ambition,
invention, and discovery, Piantadosis history explains
why space exploration is increasingly difcult and why
space experts always seem to disagree. He argues that
the future of the space program requires merging the
practicalities of exploration with the constraints of hu-
man biology. Space science deals with the unknown, and
the margin (and budget) for error is small. Lethal near-
vacuum conditions, deadly cosmic radiation, micrograv-
ity, vast distances, and highly scattered resources remain
immense physical problems. To be competitive, America
needs to develop afordable space transportation and fex-
ible exploration strategies grounded in sound science.
Piantadosi closes with suggestions for accomplishing
these goals, combining his skepticism as a scientist with
an unshakable belief in spaces untappedand wholly
worthwhilepotential.

At a ceremony announcing the completion of the frst
draft of the human genome in 2000, President Bill Clin-
ton declared, I believe one of the great truths to emerge
from this triumphant expedition inside the human ge-
nome is that in genetic terms, all human beings, regard-
less of race, are more than 99.9 percent the same. Yet
despite this declaration of unity, biomedical research has
focused increasingly on mapping that .1 percent of difer-
ence, particularly as it relates to race.
This trend is exemplifed by the drug BiDil. Approved by
the FDA in 2005 as the frst drug with a race-specifc in-
dication on its label, BiDil was originally touted as a path-
breaking therapy to treat heart failure in black patients
and help underserved populations. Upon closer exami-
nation, however, Jonathan Kahn reveals a far more com-
plex story. At the most basic level, BiDil became racial
through legal maneuvering and commercial pressure
as much as through medical understandings of how the
drug worked. Using BiDil as a central case study, Kahn
broadly examines the legal and commercial imperatives
driving the expanding role of race in biomedicine, even
as scientifc advances in genomics could render the is-
sue irrelevant. He surveys the distinct politics inform-
ing the use of race in medicine and the very real health
disparities caused by racism and social injustice that are
now being cast as a mere function of genetic diference.
Calling for a more reasoned approach to using race in
biomedical research and practice, Kahn asks readers to
recognize that, just as genetics is a complex feld requir-
ing sensitivity and expertise, so too is race, particularly in
the feld of biomedicine.

Green Innovation in China
Chinas Wind Power Industry and the Global

how The world s largesT carBon emi TTer Be-
came a pi oneeri ng force for green power.
As the greatest coal-producing and -consuming nation in
the world, China would seem an unlikely haven for wind
power. Yet the country now boasts a world-class indus-
try that promises to make low-carbon technology more
afordable and available to all. Conducting an empirical
study of Chinas remarkable transition and the possibil-
ity of replicating their model elsewhere, Joanna I. Lewis
adds greater depth to a theoretical understanding of Chi-
nas technological innovation systems and the countrys
current and future role in a globalized economy.
Lewis focuses on Chinas specifc methods of inter-
national technology transfer, its forms of international
cooperation and competition, and its implementation
of efective policies that promoted the development of a
home-grown industry. Just a decade ago, China claimed
only a handful of operating wind turbinesall imported
from Europe and the United States. Today, the country
is the largest wind power market in the world, with tur-
bines made almost exclusively in its own factories. Study-
ing this shift reveals how Chinas political leaders have
responded to domestic energy challenges and how they
may confront climate change. The nations ability to es-
calate its use of wind power also demonstrates Chinas
ability to leapfrog to cleaner energy technologiesa path
equally viable for other developing countries hoping to
bypass gradual industrialization and the technological
lock-in of hydrocarbon-intensive energy infrastructure.
Though setbacks are possible, China could come to domi-
nate global wind turbine sales, becoming a hub of tech-
nological innovation and a major instigator of low-carbon
economic change.

Neoliberalism and Climate Change Politics
Adrian Parr

porT for envi ronmenTallY di sasTrous poli ci es.
While climate change has become the dominant con-
cern of the twenty-frst century, global powers refuse to
implement the changes required to reverse these trends.
Rather, they have neoliberalized nature and climate
change politics and discourse, indicating a more virulent
strain of capital accumulation on the horizon. Adrian
Parr calls attention to the problematic socioeconomic con-
dition of neoliberal capitalism underpinning the worlds
environmental challenges, and she argues that until we
grasp the implications of neoliberalisms interference in
climate change talks and policy, humanity is on track to
an irreversible crisis.
Parr not only exposes the global failure to produce equi-
table political options for environmental regulation, but
she also breaks down the dominant political paradigms
hindering the discovery of a viable alternative. She high-
lights the neoliberalization of nature in the development
of green technologies, land use, dietary habits, repro-
ductive practices, consumption patterns, design strate-
gies, and media. She dismisses the notion that the free
market can solve debilitating environmental degrada-
tion and climate change as nothing more than a political
ghost emptied of its collective aspirations. Parr decries
what she perceives as a failure of the human imagination
and an impoverishment of political institutions, and she
ruminates on the nature of change and existence in the
absence of a future. The sustainability movement, she ar-
gues, must engage more aggressively with the logic and
cultural manifestations of consumer economics to take
hold of a more transformative politics. If the economi-
cally powerful continue to monopolize the meaning of
environmental change, she warns, new, more promising
collective solutions to our problems will fail to take root.

Chinas Uncertain Future
Jean-Luc Domenach
Translated by George Holoch Jr.
This is the best general introduction to contemporary
china i have read. written for the layman in a lively,
engaging style, the book is grounded in solid schol-
arship and benefits from the perceptive eye of one
of europes leading china experts. David A. Palmer,
author of Qigong Fever: Body, Science, and Utopia in China
an i nTi maTe sTudY of chi na s hi sTori cal ri se
and The i mmense challenges i T faces as a com-
peTi Ti ve world power.
Based on his experience as a scholar and diplomat sta-
tioned in China, Jean-Luc Domenach consults a wealth of
archival and recent materials to examine Chinas contem-
porary and future place in the world. A sympathetic yet
critical observer, Domenach brings his intimate knowl-
edge of the country to bear on a range of critical issues,
such as the growth (or deterioration) of Chinas economy,
the governments ever-delayed democratization, the po-
tential outcomes of a national political crisis, and the pos-
sible escalation of a revamped authoritarianism.
Domenach ultimately reads Chinas current progress as
a set of easy accomplishments presaging a more difcult
era of development to come. His fnely nuanced analysis
captures the difcult decisions now confronting Chinas
elite, who are under tremendous pressure to support an
economy based on innovation and consumption, estab-
lish a political system based on law and popular participa-
tion, rethink their national identity and spatial organiza-
tion, and defne a more positive approach to the worlds
problems. These leaders are also besieged by corruption
among their ranks, an increasingly restless urban popu-
lation, and a sharp decline in the countrys demographic
growth. Domenach uniquely taps into these anxieties and
the attempt to alleviate them, revealing a China much
less confdent and secure than many would believe.

cherche Internationales (CERI). He lived in Tokyo from 1970 to 1972 and

Revolt
Eye-Witness to the Syrian Uprising
Stephen Starr
In January of 2011, Presient Bashar al-Assad ofcially de-
clared Syrian society stable and the government immune
to revolt. In the months that followed, and as regimes fell
in Egypt and Tunisia, thousands of ordinary Syrians took
to the streets calling for an end to Assads regime. Many
lost their lives to the bullets of the presidents army.
In Revolt, Stephen Starr delves deep into the lives of those
afected by the Syrian state over the past fve decades. In-
terviewing people from all levels of society, Starr gathers
and interprets the views and beliefs that illustrate why
Syria, with its sectarian and ethnic diversity, was, apart
from the Hama revolt of 1982, largely free from civil un-
rest. Gaining unique access to a country that has been
largely cut of from the international media, Starr de-
livers compelling, frst-hand testimony from those who
have sufered and benefted most from the regime. Revolt
reveals why many Syrians wanted Assads government to
stay intact as an alternative to endless civil war. It mea-
sures the long-standing gap between the state apparatus
and its people and explains what led Syrias youth to f-
nally stand up and call decisively for freedom. Starr also
outlines the positions of the countrys minorities and
describes why many Syrians believe enforced regime
change will only lead to region-wide confict.

Deleuze Beyond Badiou
Ontology, Multiplicity, and Event

quality to it. That he is able to make so crystal clear
some of deleuzes contested concepts is the result of
years of patient labor over deleuzes writings.

cenTurY phi losopher and hi s relevance To
TwenTY- fi rsT- cenTurY poli Ti cal ThoughT.
First published in 1997, Alain Badious Deleuze: The
Clamor of Being cast the thinker as a secret philosopher
of the One, compromising Deleuzes standing among po-
litical philosophers concerned with the practical and his-
torical aspects of existence. Clayton Crockett rehabilitates
Deleuzes position within contemporary, cutting-edge
political and philosophical thought, advancing an origi-
nal reading of the thinkers major works and a construc-
tive conception of his philosophical ontology.
Through close readings of Deleuzes Diference and Repe-
tition, Capitalism and Schizophrenia (with Felix Guattari),
and Cinema 2, Crockett argues Deleuze is anything but
the austere, quietistic, and aristocratic intellectual Ba-
diou portrays. Instead, Crockett underscores Deleuzes
radical aesthetics and innovative scientifc, political, and
mathematical forms of thought. Challenging predomi-
nant orthodoxy, he also refutes the notion that Deleuze
retreated from politics toward the end of his life, ground-
ing his argument in the revolutionary political concept of
the time-image developed in Cinema 2. Using Badious
critique as a foil, Crockett maintains the profound con-
tinuity of Deleuzes work and builds a general interpre-
tation of his more obscure formulations. His study also
ofers original readings of Badious central philosophical
texts, Theory of the Subject, Being and Event, and Logics of
Worlds, and uses the devastating earthquake in Haiti as a
test case for applying Deleuzes thought.

Digital and electronic technologies that act as extensions
of our bodies and minds are changing the way we live,
think, act, and write. Some welcome these developments
for bringing humans closer to unifed consciousness and
eternal life. Others worry invasive globalized technolo-
gies threaten to destroy the self and the world. Whether
feared or desired, these innovations provoke emotions
that have long fueled the religious imagination, suggest-
ing the presence of a latent spirituality in an era mistak-
enly deemed secular and posthuman.
William Gaddis, Richard Powers, Mark Danielewski, and
Don DeLillo are American authors who explore this phe-
nomenon brilliantly in their work. Engaging each in con-
versation, Mark C. Taylor discusses their sophisticated
representation of new media, communications, informa-
tion, and virtual technologies and their transformative
efects on the self and society. He focuses on Gaddiss
The Recognitions, Powerss Plowing the Dark, Danielew-
skis House of Leaves, and DeLillos Underworld, following
the interplay of technology and religion in their narra-
tives and their imagining of the transition from human
to post-human states. Their challenging ideas and inven-
tive styles reveal the fascinating ways religious interests
afect emerging technologies and how, in turn, these
technologies guide spiritual aspirations. To read these nov-
els from this perspective is to see them and our world anew.

Confict, Conquest, and Conversion describes two thou-
sand years of the Christian missionary enterprise in the
Middle East within the context of the regions political
evolution. Its broad, rich narrative follows Christian mis-
sions as they interact with imperial powers and as the
momentum of religious change shifts from Christianity
to Islam and back, adding new dimensions to the history
of the region and the nature of the relationship between
the Middle East and the West.
Historians and political scientists increasingly recog-
nize the importance of integrating religion into political
analysis, and this volume, using long-neglected sources,
provides the necessary context for this efort. It surveys
Christian missions from the earliest days of Christianity
to the present, with particular emphasis on the role of
Christian missions, both Protestant and Catholic, in the
political and economic imperialism of the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. The authors delineate the ongoing
tensions between conversion and a focus on witness and
good works within the missionary movement, which
has contributed to the development and spread of non-
governmental organizations. This volumes systematic
study ofers an unparalleled encounter with the social,
political, and economic consequences of these trends.

The Impossible State
Islam, Politics, and Modernitys Moral Predicament
Wael B. Hallaq
confronTi ng The conTradi cTi ons of modern
i slami c sTaTehood and The larger di ffi culTi es
of li vi ng a moral li fe.
Wael B. Hallaq boldly argues that the Islamic state,
judged by any standard defnition of what the modern
state represents, is both an impossible and inherently
self-contradictory concept. Comparing the legal, political,
moral, and constitutional histories of premodern Islam
and Euro-America, he fnds the adoption and practice of
the modern state to be highly problematic for modern
Muslims. He then conducts a more expansive critique of
modernitys moral predicament, which renders impos-
sible any project resting solely on ethical foundations.
The modern state not only sufers from serious legal,
political, and constitutional issues, Hallaq argues, but it
also, by its very nature, fashions a subject inconsistent
with what it means to be, or to live as, a Muslim. By Is-
lamic standards, the states technologies of the self are se-
verely lacking in moral substance, and the Muslim state,
as Hallaq shows, has done little to advance an acceptable
form of genuine Sharia governance. The Islamists con-
stitutional battles in Egypt and Pakistan, the Islamic legal
and political failures of the Iranian Revolution, and simi-
lar disappointments underscore this fact. Nevertheless,
the state remains the favored template of the Islamists
and the ulama (Muslim clergymen). Providing Muslims
with a path toward realizing the good life, Hallaq turns to
the rich moral resources of Islamic history. Along the way,
he proves political and other crises of Islam are not unique
to the Islamic world nor to the Muslim religion. These crises
are integral to the modern condition of both East and West,
and recognizing such parallels enables Muslims to engage
more productively with their Western counterparts.
wael b. hallaq is the Avalon Foundation Professor in the Humanities
at Columbia University and has previously taught at McGill University,
where he was named a James McGill Professor in Islamic Studies.
Hallaqs research spans several fields, including law, legal theory, phi-
losophy, political theory, and logic, and his publications include Sharia:
Theory, Practice, Transformations; An Introduction to Islamic Law; and
Authority, Continuity, and Change in Islamic Law. His works have been
translated into several languages, including Arabic, Indonesian, Hebrew,
Japanese, Persian, Turkish, and Russian.

Kikus Prayer
A Novel
End Shsaku
Translated by Van C. Gessel
end writes with force and stylistic verve about
the vexing experience of living at the intersection
among cultures, religions, and belief systems.
Dennis Washburn, Dartmouth University
End Shsaku was a renowned twentieth-century
Japanese author who wrote from the unusual per-
spective of being both Japanese and Catholic. His
work is often compared to that of Graham Greene,
who considered End one of the centurys fnest
writers. A historical novel set in the turbulent pe-
riod between the fall of the shogunate and the Meiji
Restoration, Kikus Prayer embodies themes central
to End Shsakus work, including religion, mod-
ernization, and the endurance of the human spirit.
It is considered one of his late masterpieces and has
never before been translated into English.
The novel is told through the eyes of Kiku, an inde-
pendent young woman from a rural village who falls
in love with Seikichi, a devoted Catholic man. Practic-
ing a faith still banned by the government, Seikichi is
imprisoned and forced to recant under torture.
end shsaku (19231996) studied French literature at the
University of Lyon from 1950 to 1953. His publications include
White Man, Yellow Man, A Life of Jesus, and Song of Sadness.

Trees Without Wind
A Novel
Li Rui
Translated by John Balcom
Trees Without Wind is a fascinating work by
one of contemporary chinas most infuential
and innovative novelists. Balanced on the ful-
crum of politics, self-interest, tradition, and
desire, the novel presents a distinctively origi-
nal perspective on the political struggles that
turned china upside-down during the cultural
revolution. Carlos Rojas, Duke University
Combining the stylistic innovations of modern-
ist literature, particularly a Faulknerian play with
dialogue and form, and content and language
drawn from rural China, Li Ruis writing cap-
tures the harsh reality of a world turned upside-
down by ideological confict.
Unfolding in the tense years of the Cultural Revo-
lution (19661976), Trees Without Wind takes place
in a remote Shanxi village in which a rare afiction
has left the residents physically stunted. Director
Liu, an older revolutionary and local commune
head, becomes embroiled in a power struggle with
Zhang Weiguo, a young ideologue who believes he
is the model of a true revolutionary.
li rui has won numerous literary awards in China, Taiwan,
and Europe and is widely recognized as an important voice
in contemporary Chinese literature.

Sources of Tibetan Tradition
Edited by Kurtis R. Schaeffer, Matthew
T. Kapstein, and Gray Tuttle
The most comprehensive collection of classic
Tibetan works in a Western language, this vol-
ume illuminates the complex historical, intellec-
tual, and social movements of Tibetan civiliza-
tion from its earliest beginnings to the modern
period. It includes more than 180 representative
writings of the Tibetan tradition, more than half
never before translated into English.
Selected texts span Tibets vast geography and
nearly thirteen hundred years of history, fea-
turing a diverse range of authors including re-
ligious and lay leaders, scholastic philosophers
and contemplative hermits, monks and nuns,
poets and artists, aristocrats and commoners.
Their works refect Buddhist sources and their
profound role in shaping Tibetan culture but
also illustrate other major categories of tradi-
tional Tibetan knowledge: medicine, the practi-
cal arts, linguistics, logic, and epistemology.

stantial excerpts from such masterworks as The
Tale of Genji, The Tales of the Heike, The Pillow
Book, Manysh, and Kokinsh. He preserves his

anecdotes (setsuwa) as well as classical poems
with extensive commentary. He features classic
n drama; selections from infuential war epics;
and notable essays on poetry, fction, history, and
religion. Texts are interwoven, bringing common
themes, styles, and allusions into sharp relief
while inviting comparison and debate.

This volume contains a fascinating array of

In July of 2011, the Republic of South Sudan de-
clared independence from the north, efectively
ending Africas longest running civil war. The
Sudan Peoples Liberation Movement, a primar-
ily Southern rebel and political force, made this
outcome possible by entering peace negotiations
as a united front. Beginning in 2005 and last-
ing six years, the Comprehensive Peace Agree-
ment tried to make unity palatable to the souths
diverse peoples and interests. While the exercise
ultimately failed, it did result in Southern Sudan's
nearly unanimous vote for independence.
Since then, violence has returned to the region,
with many now fearing South Sudan itself will
erupt into war. With the regime in Khartoum
richly beneftting from factionalism, a durable
peace seems impossible, and any resolution to the
issues that have long dogged Sudans southern-
ersinefectual governance, widespread exploi-
tation and resentment, and ethnic marginaliza-
tionseem light years away.

Harakat Al Shabaab is Somalias infamous though

Along with the groups international connections

Published more than a decade ago, Inventing Ru-
ritania has become a standard study of the Wests
attitude toward the Balkansthe Wild East of
Europe. With its Western and Oriental infuences,
the Balkans have both attracted and repelled out-
siders, ofering a tantalizing alternative to familiar
society. Completely diferent from us yet exactly
what we used to be, the Balkans have particularly
provided Western European and American writers
and flmmakers with a wealth of images, charac-
ters, and ideas. In her prodigiously researched vol-
ume, Vesna Goldsworthy explores the entertain-
ment industrys lucrative exploitation of Balkan
history and geography and its efect on Western
conceptions of the region. She traces the national,
religious, and sexual fears foreign observers pro-
ject onto Balkan lands and the use of Balkan arche-
types. The work of an Anglo-Serbian writer and
former BBC journalist turned academic, Inventing
Ruritania maps an imaginary geography that has
had palpable consequences in the practical world.

In July of 1936, General Francisco Franco and a
group of ofcers attempted to overthrow the Span-

a number of foreign fghters came to help Franco
win control of the country. Men from Portugal
and Morocco signed on for money and adventure.
Irish General Eoin ODufy organized seven hun-
dred fellow countrymen into a modern crusade.
Five hundred Catholic Frenchmen fought in the
Jeanne DArc unit, and thirty British volunteers,
including members of the aristocracy, working-
class fascists, and a future friend of Errol Flynn,
enthusiastically engaged. A group of Romanian
extremists died at Majadahonda, and a lone Indian
joined the fascist militia. Additional fghters hailed
from Russia, America, Finland, Belgium, Greece,
and Cuba. Goose-stepping beside them were fascist
conscripts from Germany and Italy, training for the
next world war. This rare history reveals the essential
role these men, both known and unknown, played in
Francos victory and the outcomes of future wars.

All the Art Thats Fit to Print
(And Some That Wasnt)
Inside The New York Times Op-Ed Page
Jerelle Kraus
All the Art Thats Fit to Print reveals the true
story of the worlds frst op-ed page, a public
platform thatin 1970prefgured the In-
ternet blogosphere. Not only did the New York
Timess nonstaf bylines shatter tradition, but
the pictures were revolutionary. Unlike any-
thing ever seen in a newspaper, op-ed art be-
came a globally infuential idiom that reached
beyond narrative for metaphor and changed
illustrations very purpose and potential.
Jerelle Kraus, whose thirteen-year tenure as
Op-Ed art director, far exceeds that of any
other art director or editor, unveils a riveting
account of working at the Times. Her insider
anecdotes include the reasons why artist Saul
Steinberg hated the Times, why editor Howell
Raines stopped the presses to kill a feature by
Doonesburys Garry Trudeau, and why reporter
Syd Schanburgwhose story was told in the
movie The Killing Fieldsstated that he would
travel anywhere to see Kissinger hanged, as
well as Krauss tale of surviving two and a half
hours alone with the dethroned peerless out-
law Richard Nixon.
All the Art features a satiric portrayal of John
McCain, a classic cartoon of Barack Obama by
Jules Feifer, and a drawing of Hillary Clinton
and Obama by Barry Blitt. But when Frank
Rich wrote a column discussing Hillary Clin-
ton exclusively, the Times refused to allow Blitt
to portray her. Nearly any notion is palatable
in prose, yet editors perceive pictures as a far
greater threat. Confucius underestimated the
number of words an image is worth; the thou-
sand-fold power of a picture is also its curse.
jerelle kraus is the award-winning art director whose
thirty-year tenure at the New York Times includes a record
thirteen years at Op-Ed. She also worked as an art director
at Time and as the art director of Ramparts magazine and
of Francis Ford Coppolas City magazine.

Bright Wings
An Illustrated Anthology of Poems About Birds
Edited by Billy Collins; Paintings by David
Allen Sibley
In this beautiful collection of poems and paintings,
Billy Collins, former U.S. poet laureate, joins with
David Allen Sibley, Americas foremost bird illus-
trator, to celebrate the winged creatures that have
inspired so many poets to sing for centuries. From
Catullus and Chaucer to Robert Browning and
James Wright, poets have long treated birds as pow-
erful metaphors for beauty, escape, transcendence,
and divine expression.
Here, in this substantial anthology, more than one
hundred contemporary and classic poems are paired
with close to sixty original, ornithologically precise
illustrations. Part poetry collection, part feld guide,
part art book, Bright Wings presents verbal and visu-
al interpretations of the natural world and reminds
us of our intimate connection to the bright wings
around us. Each in its own way, these poems and
pictures honor the enchanting creatures that have
been, and continue to be, longtime collaborators
with the poets and painters art.
Poet and bird pairings include Wallace Stevens and
the Blackbird; Emily Dickinson and the Robin; Mar-
ianne Moore and the Frigate Pelican; Thomas Har-
dy and the Goldfnch; Sylvia Plath and the Pheasant;
John Updike and the Seagull; Walt Whitman and
the Eagle; Billy Collins and the Sparrow.
billy collins is Distinguished Professor of English at Lehman
College and the author of eight books of poetry, including Ballistics,
The Trouble with Poetry And Other Poems, Nine Horses, Sailing
Alone Around the World, and Questions About Angels, which was
selected by Edward Hirsch for the National Poetry Series.
david allen sibley has spent most of his life traveling across
North America, studying and drawing the natural world. With the
National Audubon Society, he published The Sibley Guide to Birds
in 2004 and The Sibley Guide to Trees in 2009. He lives with his
family in Concord, Massachusetts, and his work can be viewed at

A History of Libya
John Wright
we have every reason to be grateful for A
History of libya, particularly at a time when
the country is hoping to become a member
of international communities after so many
years of isolation. John wright is known as
the bishop of libyan history and has been
the standard bearer for libyan historical
studies for more than half a century.
Mohamed Ben-Madani, editor, The Maghreb Review
John Wright begins his history of Libya as far
back as prehistoric times and concludes with
the fortieth anniversary of the Gadaf revolution.
He briefy surveys the territorys early hunter-
gatherers and the activities of its mid-desert Ga-
ramantian civilization. Then he travels briskly
through the lands successive invaders: the Phoe-
nicians, Greeks, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines,
Muslim Arabs, Genoans, Normans, Spaniards,
Knights of Malta, Ottoman Turks, and semi-in-
dependent Karamanlis. Wright traces the routes
of the ancient trans-Saharan black slave trade,
which involved ports in Tripoli, Benghazi, the
eastern Mediterranean, the Balkans, the Aegean
Sea, and the Levant, and he highlights Tripolis
nineteenth-century role in enabling European
exploration of the desert.
john wright was formerly chief political commentator and
analyst for the BBC Arabic Service, specializing in Libya, the
Sahara, and the international oil industry.

Why Civil Resistance Works
The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict
Erica Chenoweth and Maria J. Stephan
This is social science at its best. Years of
critical study culminate in a book on one
dominating issue: how does nonviolent op-
position compare with violence in removing
a regime or achieving secession? The authors
study successes and failures and alternative
diagnoses of success and failure, reaching a
balanced judgment meriting careful study.
Thomas C. Schelling, Harvard University, recipient
of the Nobel Prize in Economics
For more than a century, from 1900 to 2006,
campaigns of nonviolent resistance were more
than twice as efective as their violent counter-
parts in achieving their stated goals.
Combining statistical analysis with case stud-
ies of specifc countries and territories, Erica
Chenoweth and Maria J. Stephan detail the fac-
tors enabling such campaigns to succeed and,
sometimes, causing them to fail. They fnd that
nonviolent resistance presents fewer obstacles
to moral and physical involvement and commit-
ment, and that higher levels of participation con-
tribute to enhanced resilience, and greater oppor-
tunities for tactical innovation and civic disruption.
erica chenoweth is an assistant professor of government
at Wesleyan University.

The Inquisition of Climate Science
James Lawrence Powell
with the evidence for global warming
so strong, why, powell asks, does half the
american public doubt it? his answer is a
history of the campaign of denial, the most
comprehensive and up-to-date history avail-
able. it is well written and well worth read-
ing: this is the most important issue facing
our generation. Spencer Weart, author of The
Discovery of Global Warming
Modern science is under the greatest and most
successful attack in recent history. An industry
of denial, abetted by news media and info-
tainment broadcasters more interested in sell-
ing controversy than presenting facts, has duped
half the American public into rejecting the facts
of climate sciencean overwhelming body of
rigorously vetted scientifc evidence showing
that human-caused, carbon-based emissions are
linked to warming the Earth.
The Inquisition of Climate Science is the frst
book to comprehensively take on the climate
science denial movement and the deniers them-
selves, exposing their lack of credentials, their
extensive industry funding, and their failure to
provide any alternative theory to explain the ob-
served evidence of warming.

Scotch Verdict
The Real-Life Story that Inspired The
Childrens Hour
Lillian Faderman
Foreword by Judith Halberstam
faderman continues her valuable excavations
of the archaeology of erotic relationships be-
tween women. . . . she has succeeded in rec-
reating an absorbing, often peculiarly moving
courtroom drama. Terry Castle, Signs
In 1810, a Scottish student named Jane Cum-
ming accused her school mistresses, Jane Pirie
and Marianne Woods, of having an afair in the
presence of their students. Dame Cumming
Gordon, the wealthy and powerful grandmoth-
er of the accusing student, advises her friends
to remove their daughters from the Drum-
sheugh boarding school. Within days, the insti-
tution is deserted and two women are deprived
of their livelihoods.
Reconstructing the libel suit which resulted in
a scotch verdict, or a verdict of inconclusive/not
proven, Faderman builds a compelling narra-
tive from court transcripts, judges notes, wit-
nesses contradictory testimony, and the preju-
dices of the men presiding over the case.
lillian faderman is professor emerita of English at Cali-
fornia State University, Fresno, and author of the award-
winning Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers: A History of Lesbian

Why Jane Austen?
Rachel M. Brownstein
Why Jane Austen? is a warm hearted,
personal, and humane meditation on austen
and austenolatry. it is also, in the tradition of
Becoming a heroine, smart, witty, eloquent,
and joyfully wide-ranging, a mixture of an-
ecdote, cultural criticism, biography, literary
history, and close reading. By bringing seri-
ous literary thought to a wider audience, this
book is accessible to anyone acquainted with
austens novels. it performs one of the most
important services of humanistic scholarship.
William Deresiewicz, author of Jane Austen and the
Romantic Poets
From the frst publication of Pride and Prejudice
to recent flm versions of her life and work, Jane
Austen has continued to provoke controversy and
inspire fantasies of peculiar intimacy. Whether
celebrated for her realism, proto-feminism, or
patrician gentility, imagined as a subversive or a
political conservative, Austen generates passions
shaped by the ideologies and trends of her read-
ers timeand by her own memorable stories,
characters, and elusive narrative cool.
In this book, Rachel M. Brownstein considers
constructions of Jane Austen as a heroine, mor-
alist, satirist, romantic, woman, and author and
the changing notions of these categories.
rachel m. brownstein is professor of English at Brooklyn
College and the CUNY Graduate Center.

The Undiscovered Dewey
Religion, Morality, and the Ethos of
Democracy
Melvin L. Rogers
melvin l. rogerss The undiscovered Dewey
is the best book on our greatest public philos-
opher since robert westbrooks classic text.
it is one of those rare works that would make
John dewey smile and richard rorty grin from
the grave. Cornel West, Princeton University
The Undiscovered Dewey explores the profound
infuence of evolution and its corresponding
ideas of contingency and uncertainty on John
Deweys philosophy of action, particularly its ar-
gument that inquiry proceeds from the uncer-
tainty of human activity. Dewey separated the
meaningfulness of inquiry from a larger meta-
physical story concerning the certainty of human
progress. He then connected this thread to the
way in which our refective capacities aid us in
improving our lives. Dewey therefore launched
a new understanding of the modern self that
encouraged intervention in social and natural
environments but that nonetheless demanded
courage and humility because of the intimate re-
lationship between action and uncertainty.

University of Virginia, where he teaches political theory.

After Evil
A Politics of Human Rights
Robert Meister
The rare work of a genuine thinker, one who
permits no phenomenon, discourse, event, or
category of analysis to be assumed or left un-
interrogated. After evil also ofers a supremely
important and timely argument, one that cuts
to the quick of bids for justice in the aftermath
of extreme orders of domination, exploitation,
and extermination. Wendy Brown, University
of California, Berkeley
The way in which mainstream human rights
discourse speaks of such evils as the Holocaust,
slavery, or apartheid puts them solidly in the past.
Its elaborate techniques of transitional justice
encourage future generations to move forward by
creating a false assumption of closure, enabling
those who are guilty to elude responsibility.
Merging examples from literature and history,
Robert Meister confronts the problem of clo-
sure and the resolution of historical injustice. He
boldly challenges the empty moral logic of never
again or the theoretical reduction of evil to a cy-
cle of violence and counterviolence, broken only
once evil is remembered for what it was.
robert meister is professor of social and political thought
at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He is director of
the Bruce Initiative on Rethinking Capitalism at UCSC and the
author of Political Identity: Thinking Through Marx.

The Faith of Biology and the
Biology of Faith
Robert Pollack
pollack lucidly explores the interface be-
tween science and religion, and thoughtfully
discusses the bioethical issues that loom large
as the twenty-frst century begins. drawing on
his own faith and his work in molecular biol-
ogy, he highlights striking parallels between
the seemingly disparate practices of science
and Torah study. Booklist
Are there parallels between the moment of in-
sight in science and the emergence of the un-
knowable in religious faith? Where does scien-
tifc insight come from? Award-winning biologist
Robert Pollack argues that an alliance between
religious faith and science is not necessarily an
argument in favor of irrationality: the two can in-
form each others visions of the world.
Pollack begins by refecting on the large questions
of meaning and purposeand the difculty of
fnding either in the orderly world described by the
data of science. He considers the obligation to fnd
meaning and purpose despite natural selections
claim to be a complete explanation of our pres-
ence as a speciesa claim that calls upon neither
natural intention, nor design, nor Designer.
robert pollack is a professor of biological sciences at
Columbia University, where he has received the Alexander
Hamilton Medal and is director of the Center for the Study of

Truth, Errors, and Lies
Politics and Economics in a Volatile World
Grzegorz W. Kolodko
Kolodko astounds the reader with his erudi-
tion and, something of immeasurable value
in a book on economics, never permits him
to become bored. Thanks to the successful
marriage of economics, history, sociology,
politics, and literature, Truth, errors, and lies
is light reading but not devoid of theoretical
gravity, ideal for the beach and, at the same
time, just right for a university seminar.
Le Monde Diplomatique
Grzegorz W. Kolodko, one of the worlds leading
authorities on economics and development policy
and a key architect of Polands successful economic
reforms, applies his far-reaching knowledge to the
past and future of the world economy, introducing
a framework for understanding our global situation
that transcends any single discipline or paradigm.
Deploying a novel mix of scientifc evaluation and
personal observation, Kolodko begins with a brief
discussion of misinformation and its perpetuation
in economics and politics. He criticizes the simpli-
fcation of complex economic and social issues and
investigates the link between developments in the
global economy and cultural change, scientifc dis-
coveries, and political fuctuations.
grzegorz w. kolodko was Polands deputy prime minister

Making Sense of Pakistan
Farzana Shaikh
Thought-provoking . . . Those interested in
helping shape the countrys future will come
away understanding why now is the time to
move on with clarit. Shabana Fayyaz, Middle
East Journal
Once a model of Muslim enlightenment, Paki-
stan is now facing a lethal Islamist threat. Many
believe this is because of Pakistans partnership
with the United States, while others see it as the
consequence of an authoritarian rule that has
marginalized liberal opinion while creating in-
roads for the religious right.
Farzana Shaikh argues that though external
infuences and domestic politics have unques-
tionably shaped Pakistan, an uncertainty about
the meaning of Pakistan and the signifcance of
being Pakistani lies at the heart of the states
social and political decline. Making Sense of Paki-
stan shows how these concerns have contributed
to the spread of Islam in the public sphere. They
have also widened the gap between personal pi-
ety and public morality, compromising the coun-
trys economic foundations and social stability.
This uncertainty has also afected Pakistans for-
eign policy, which compensates for the countrys
poor sense of national identity.
farzana shaikh is an associate fellow at the Royal Institute
of International Affairs (Chatham House) in London.

five centuries of
trade and tribute
East Asia Before the West
Five Centuries of Trade and Tributee
David C. Kang
From the founding of the Ming dynasty in 1368 to the
start of the Opium Wars in 1841, China has engaged in
only two large-scale conficts with its principal neigh-
bors, Korea, Vietnam, and Japan. These four territorial
and centralized states have otherwise fostered peaceful
and long-lasting relationships with one another, and as
they have grown more powerful, the atmosphere around
them has stabilized.
Focusing on the role of the tribute system in main-
taining stability in East Asia and in fostering diplomatic
and commercial exchange, Kang contrasts this history
against the example of Europe and the East Asian states
skirmishes with nomadic peoples to the north and west.
Although China has been the unquestioned hegemon
in the region, with other political units always consid-
ered secondary, the tributary order entailed military,
cultural, and economic dimensions that aforded its
participants immense latitude. Europes Westphalian
system, on the other hand, was based on formal equality
among states and balance-of-power politics, resulting in
incessant interstate confict.
Scholars tend to view Europes experience as univer-
sal, but Kang upends this tradition, emphasizing East
Asias formal hierarchy as an international system with
its own history and character. This approach not only
recasts our understanding of East Asian relations but
also defnes a model that applies to other hegemonies
outside the European order.
david c. kang is professor of international relations and business
and director of the Korean Studies Institute at the University of
Southern California. A regular consultant for both multinational corpo-
rations and U.S. government agencies, his books include China Rising,
Crony Capitalism, and Nuclear North Korea: A Debate in Engagement

in a fascinating and deeply illumi-
nating sequel to his acclaimed china
Rising, david c. Kang challenges the
eurocentric bias of american and
european theories of international
relations. with apologies to rudyard
Kipling, Kangs main message is that
east is east and west is west and
sometimes the twain shall meet,
and he delivers it through smart
arguments, great imagination, and
compelling historical synthesis. all
serious students of international
relations, from both east and west,
will have to come to terms with
Kangs provocative arguments.

mackinlay makes a compelling argument for

The insurgent Archipelago is an excellent ad-
dition to any military or civilian library
LTC Richard A. McConnell, USA, Military Review
As a young British ofcer in the Gurkha regi-
ment, John Mackinlay served in the rainforests
of North Borneo and experienced frsthand the
Maoist-style insurgencies of the 1960s. Years
later, as a United Nations researcher, he wit-
nessed the chaotic deployment of international
forces to Africa, the Balkans, and South Asia,
and the transformation of territorial, labor-inten-
sive uprisings into the international insurgent
networks we know today.
After 9/11, Mackinlay turned his eye toward the
Muslim communities of Europe and institu-
tional eforts to prevent terrorism. In this book,
Mackinlay explains why leaders from the wealth-
iest and most powerful nations have failed to
understand this phenomenon. Our current bin
Laden era, Mckinlay argues, must be viewed as
one stage in a series of developments swept up
in the momentum of a global insurgency.
john mackinlay is a teaching fellow at the War Studies De-
partment of Kings College, University of London, and a former
defense fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge.

countries where shiites constitute signifcant
portions of the population . . . highly recom-
mended. Choice
Laurence Lour, author of the critically acclaimed
To Be an Arab in Israel, brings her extensive
knowledge of the Middle East to an analysis
of the historical origins and present situation
of militant Shia transnational networks. She
focuses on three key countries in the gulf:
Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia, whose Shia
Islamic groups are the ofspring of various Iraqi
movements that have surfaced over recent de-
cades. Lour explains how these groups frst
penetrated local societies by espousing the net-
works of Shiite clergymen. She then describes
the role of factional quarrels and the Iranian
revolution of 1979 in defning the present
landscape of Shiite Islamic activism in the Gulf
monarchies.

Animals and Society
An Introduction to Human-Animal Studies
Margo DeMello
as one of the founders of this feld and
someone who has helped to guide its devel-
opment, demello is uniquely situated to write
this work. This is the right book at the right
time. Claire Jean Kim, University of California, Irvine
Human-animal studies explores human-animal
relations and the place of animals within hu-
man social and cultural worlds. Considering that
much of human society is structured through its
interaction with nonhuman animals, and since
human society relies heavily on the exploitation
of animals to serve human needs, human-animal
studies has become a rapidly expanding feld of
research, featuring a number of distinct posi-
tions, perspectives, and theories that require nu-
anced explanation and contextualization.
The frst textbook to provide a full overview of
humananimal studies for students, general
readers, and scholars, this volume focuses on the
conceptual construction of animals in American
culture and the way in which it reinforces and
perpetuates hierarchical human relationships
rooted in racism, sexism, and class privilege.
margo demello teaches anthropology and sociology at
Central New Mexico Community College. She is also the
program director for humananimal studies at the Animals &
Society Institute and executive director of House Rabbit Society.

Animalia Americana
Animal Representations and Biopolitical
Subjectivity
Colleen Glenney Boggs
Boggs engagement with texts by poe,
dickinson and Barbara Bushs puppy love
makes her focus unique . . . . her analysis of
the connection between animal fgures and
slavery in poes work is fascinating. Kelly
Oliver, W. Alton Jones Professor of Philosophy,
Vanderbilt University
Consulting a diverse archive of literary texts, Col-
leen Glenney Boggs places animal representation
at the center of the making of the liberal Ameri-
can subject. From the bestiality trials of the seven-
teenth-century Plymouth Plantation to the emer-
gence of sentimental pet culture in the nineteenth,
Boggs traces a history of human-animal sexuality
in America, one shaped by sexualized animal bod-
ies and afective pet relations.
Boggs concentrates on the formative and disrup-
tive presence of animals in the writings of Freder-
ick Douglass, Edgar Allan Poe, and Emily Dickin-
son. Engaging with the critical theories of Michel
Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Judith Butler, Donna
Haraway, and others, she argues that animals
are critical to the ways in which Americans enact
their humanity and regulate subjects in the biopo-
litical state. Biopower, or a politics that extends its
reach to life, thrives on the strategic ambivalence
between who is considered human and what is
judged as animal. It generates a space of indeter-
minacy where animal representations intervene to
defne and challenge the parameters of subjectiv-
ity. The renegotiation of the species line produces
a tension that is never fully regulated. Therefore,
as both fgures of radical alterity and the embodi-
ment of biopolitics, animals are simultaneously
exceptional and exemplary to the biopolitical state.

Animal Rights Without Liberation
Applied Ethics and Human Obligations
Alasdair Cochrane
[This book] represents an important contribution
to animal ethics literature. cochrane argues that,
since animals have an interest in avoiding death
and sufering, then they ought to be accorded a
right not to sufer at the hands of humans and a
right to life. cochrane is the frst to base a whole
account of animal rights around an interest-based
theory of rights and the frst to use such a theory
to deny that animals have a right to liberty.
Dr. Robert Garner, University of Leicester
Alasdair Cochrane provides an entirely new theory
of animal rights grounded in their interests as
sentient beings. He applies this theory to a whole
range of diferent and underexplored policy areas,
such as genetic engineering, pet keeping, indig-
enous hunting, and religious slaughter. In contrast
to other proponents of animal rights, Cochrane
claims that the possession of rights by animals
does not mean animals must never be owned or
used by human beings. He claims that because
most sentient animals are not autonomous agents,
they have no intrinsic interest in liberty. As such,
his book argues that our obligations to animals lie
in ending practices that cause their sufering and
death and do not require the liberation of animals.
alasdair cochrane is lecturer in political theory at The
University of Sheffield. He is the author of An Introduction to
Animals and Political Theory.

Experiencing Animal Minds
An Anthology of Animal-Human
Encounters
Edited by Julie Smith and Robert W.
Mitchell
[The book] draws from a remarkable variety
of perspectivesbiologists, animal activists,
artists, literary scholars, veterinarians, philos-
ophers, and more, and still feels surprisingly
cohesive. Margo DeMello
In these multidisciplinary essays, academic schol-
ars and animal experts explore the nature of ani-
mal minds and the methods humans convention-
ally and unconventionally use to understand them.
The collection features chapters by scholars work-
ing in psychology, sociology, history, philosophy, lit-
erary studies, and art as well as chapters by or about
people who live or work with animals, including the
founder of a sanctuary for chickens, a fur trapper,
a popular canine psychologist, a horse trainer, and
an art photographer who captures everyday contact
between humans and their animal companions.
Divided into fve sections, the collection frst con-
siders the ways that humans live with animals and
the infuence of cohabitation on their perceptions of
animals minds. It follows with an examination of
anthropomorphism as both a guide and hindrance
to mapping animal consciousness. Chapters in the
next section examine the efects of embodiment
on animals minds and the role of animal-human
interembodiment on humans understandings of an-
imals minds. Final sections identify historical repre-
sentations of diference between human and animal
consciousness and their relevance to pre-established
cultural attitudes, as well as the ways that representa-
tions of animals minds target particular audiences
and sometimes produce problematic outcomes.

Knock Me Up, Knock Me Down
Images of Pregnancy in Hollywood Films
Kelly Oliver
wonderful, insightful, riveting, and entertaining
romp through the history of hollywood cinema
and its fraught negotiation of the meaning of preg-
nancy. Kalpana Rahita Seshadri, Boston College
The image of a heavily pregnant woman, once con-
sidered ugly and indecent, is now common to Hol-
lywood flm. No longer is pregnancy a repulsive of
shameful condition, but an attractive attribute, often
enhancing the romantic or comedic storyline of a
female protagonist. Kelly Oliver investigates this cu-
rious shift and its refection of changing attitudes to-
ward womens roles in reproduction and the family.
Yet not all representations signify progress. Oliver
fnds that in many pregnancy flms our anxieties
over modern reproductive practices and technolo-
gies are made manifest, and in some instances per-
petuate conventions that curtail womens freedom.
Reading such flms as Where the Heart Is (2000),
Riding in Cars with Boys (2001), Palindromes (2004),
Saved! (2004), Children of Men (2006), Knocked Up
(2007), Juno (2007), Baby Mama (2008), Away We
Go (2009), Precious (2009), Knock Me Up, Knock
Me Down is the only book devoted to the portrayal of
pregnant women in society and flm and its implica-
tions for womens social, sexual, and political future.

Feminist Aesthetics and the
Politics of Modernism
Ewa Ponowska Ziarek
elegantly argued and often brilliant in its
handling of diverse theoretical traditions,
ziareks book will speak equally to those
interested in the longer history of post-Kan-
tian art-philosophy and to those working in
the more recent discourses of critical theory
. . . a major contribution to several scholarly
felds at once, likely to become a touchstone
for those seeking rigorous but enabling lan-
guage for the ways in which modernism con-
tinues to matter. Dan Blanton, UC Berkeley
Despite the prominence of feminist theory in lit-
erary, flm, and visual arts critique, feminist the-
ories of aesthetics remain rare, obscuring a cru-
cial chapter in womens history. Ewa Ponowska
Ziarek redresses this oversight through a full
articulation of feminist aesthetics, focusing on
the struggle for freedom in womens literary and
political modernism and the devastating impact
of racist violence and sexism.
Ziarek situates these tensions within the en-
trenched opposition between revolt and mel-
ancholia in studies of modernity and within
the friction between material injuries and ex-
perimental aesthetic forms. Her political and
aesthetic investigations concern the exclusion
and destruction of women in politics and liter-
ary production and the transformation of this
oppression into the inaugural possibilities of
writing and action. Feminist Aesthetics and the
Politics of Modernism profoundly reorients com-
mon interpretations of Woolf and Larsen, as
well as the history of sufrage militancy.
ewa ponowska ziarek is Julian Park Professor of
Comparative Literature at the State University of New
York, Buffalo. She is the author of An Ethics of Dissensus:

Hospitality of the Matrix
Philosophy, Biomedicine, and Culture
Irina Aristarkhova
every feminist scholar interested in the spaces,
practices, limits, and social meanings of mother-
hood will want to read this book. aristarkhovas
erudite, intrepid exploration of the meaning of
the matrix in philosophy, embryology, biomedi-
cine, nursing, and performance art is a tour de
force of feminist scholarship. Susan Squier,
author of Babies in Bottles: Twentieth-Century
Visions of Reproductive Technology
The question Where do we come from? has
fascinated philosophers, scientists, and artists for
generations. This book reorients the question of
the matrix as a place where everything comes from
(chora, womb, incubator) by recasting it in terms
of acts of matrixial/maternal hospitality that
produce space and matter of/for the other.
Systematic acknowledgment of the acts of making
space and matter reintroduces the maternal role
in generation and contributes to current debates
in biomedicine, especially in theoretical biology,
embryology, and reproductive immunology of the
maternal-fetal interface. Building on and critically
evaluating a wide range of historical and contem-
porary scholarship, Irina Aristarkhova applies her
theoretical framework to the science, technology,
and art of ectogenesis (artifcial wombs and placen-
tas; neonatal incubators; and male pregnancies).

Gender and Parenthood
Biological and Social Scientific Perspectives
Edited by W. Bradford Wilcox and
Kathy Kovner Kline
in bringing together a diverse array of
viewpoints on this topic from the develop-
mental feld, the authors . . . represent varied
approaches to the study of gender, to explora-
tion of the dimensions of parenthood, and to
assessment of the intersection between gender
and parenthood. . . . This is a much needed
text. Judy Martin, professor and chair of Social
Work Program, University of Wisconsin, Green Bay
Gender and Parenthood integrates biological and so-
cial scientifc perspectives to evaluate the transfor-
mative experience of gendered parenthood on both
men and women. It maps the similar and distinct
roles mothers and fathers play in their childrens
lives, and it measures the efect of gendered parent-
ing on child well-being, work and family arrange-
ments, and the quality of couples relationships.
The text combines the approaches of several disci-
plines and respects a range of ideological views. It
explores what happens to brains and bodies when
women become mothers and men become fathers;
whether the stakes are the same or diferent for
each sex; why, across history and cultures, women
are typically more involved in childcare than men;
why some fathers are strongly present in their
childrens lives while others are not; and how the
various commitments men and women make to
parenting shape their approaches to paid work and
their relationships as spouses and partners.

An Imperial Concubines Tale
Scandal, Shipwreck, and Salvation in
Seventeenth-Century Japan
G. G. Rowley
Japan in the early seventeenth century was a wild
place. Serial killers stalked the streets of Kyoto
at night, while noblemen and women mingled
freely at the imperial palace, drinking sak and
watching kabuki dancing in the presence of the
emperors principal consort. Among these noble-
women was an imperial concubine named Na-
kanoin Nakako, who in 1609 became embroiled
in a sex scandal involving both courtiers and
young women in the emperors service. As pun-
ishment, Nakako was banished to an island in the
Pacifc Ocean, but she never reached her destina-
tion. Instead, she was shipwrecked and spent four-
teen years in a remote village on the Izu Peninsula
before being set free in an amnesty. Returning to
Kyoto, Nakako began a new adventure: she entered
a convent and became a Buddhist nun.
Recounting the remarkable story of this resil-
ient woman and the war-torn world in which she
lived, G. G. Rowley investigates aristocratic family
archives, village storehouses, and the records of
imperial convents to re-create Nakakos life from
beginning to end. She follows the banished con-
cubine as she endures rural exile, receives an un-
expected reprieve, and rediscovers herself as the
abbess of a nunnery. As she unravels Nakakos
unusual tale, Rowley also profles the little-known
lives of samurai women who sacrifced themselves
on the fringes of the great battles that brought an
end to more than a century of civil war. Written
with keen insight and genuine afection, An Impe-
rial Concubines Tale tells the true story of a womans
extraordinary life in seventeenth-century Japan.

The Founding of the Chinese
Communist Party
Ishikawa Yoshihiro
Translated by Joshua A. Fogel
a path-breaking new analysis of the chinese
communist party. Naoki Hazama, Professor
Emeritus at Kyoto University
Ofcial Chinese narratives recounting the rise of
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have tended
to minimize its provocative infuences and associ-
ations, therefore preventing a full understanding
of the movements complex origins. Conducting
careful readings and translations of recently re-
leased documents in Russian, Japanese, and Chi-
nese, Ishikawa Yoshihiro builds a portrait of the
partys truly multinational character, revealing
the early forces that shaped the movement and
the ideologies of its competitors.
Making use of public and private documents and
research, Ishikawa begins the story in 1919 with
Chinese intellectuals who wrote extensively un-
der pen names and, in fact, plagiarized or trans-
lated many iconic texts of early Chinese Marxism.
ishikawa yoshihiro completed his graduate work at
Kyoto University and is now an associate professor in its

Sinophone Studies
A Critical Reader
Edited by Shu-mei Shih, Chien-hsin
Tsai, and Brian Bernards
This defnitive anthology casts Sinophone stud-
ies as the study of Sinitic-language cultures
born of colonial and postcolonial infuences.
Its transnational and comparative essays by
such authors as Rey Chow, Ha Jin, Leo Ou-fan
Lee, Ien Ang, Wei-ming Tu, and David Wang
address debates concerning the nature of Chi-
neseness while introducing readers to essential
readings in Tibetan, Malaysian, Taiwanese,
French, Caribbean, and American Sinophone
literatures. By placing Sinophone cultures at
the crossroads of multiple empires, this anthol-
ogy richly demonstrates the transformative
power of multiculturalism and multilingual-
ism, and by examining the place-based cul-
tural and social practices of Sinitic-language
communities in their historical contexts be-
yond China proper, it efectively refutes the
diasporic framework. Adding new, non-Han-
centric dimensions to conceptions of Chinese
citizenship and ethnic identity, this book is an
invaluable companion for courses in Asian,
postcolonial, empire, and ethnic studies, as
well as world and comparative literatures.

Halford Mackinder and the
International Relations of
Central Asia
Edited by Nick Megoran and Sevara
Sharapova
an excellent piece of work that deserves
a wide readership. it is very engaging and
holds the readers interest throughout. The
volume represents an innovative approach to
sir halford mackinders theories and breaks
new ground. it is a must read for anyone with
an interest in the intellectuals contribution to
geopolitics and its contemporary reception.
Christopher M. Wyatt, author of Afghanistan
and the Defence of Empire
After the collapse of the Soviet Union liberated
the republics of Central Asia, many believed that,
with their rich geographies and histories, these
nations would pursue a logical set of social, po-
litical, and economic goals. Yet the foreign policy
choices of these countries has been confusing,
if not wholly problematic, leading international
scholars to turn to the thought of Sir Halford
Mackinder (18611947), a British geographer
widely regarded as the father of geopolitics. This
volume unites historical geographers and politi-
cal scientists in an exploration of the remarkable
renaissance of Mackinders theories. It charts the
intellectuals own engagement with the region, in
both his writings and his visits as a British envoy
in the aftermath of World War I. The book out-
lines and evaluates the use of Mackinders ideas
by Central Asian, Russian, and American schol-
ars and their insight into the regions interna-
tional relations. The volume makes an important
contribution not only to the theorization of the
international relations of Central Asia but also to
an understanding of ideas historical geography
as they move and change across place and time.

Aiding Afghanistan
A History of Soviet Assistance to a
Developing Country
Paul Robinson and Jay Dixon
This volume covers a gap in the existing his-
toriography of afghan contemporary history,
namely the economic dimension of soviet assis-
tance, both before and after the start of the war
in 1978. Antonio Giustiozzi, author of Decoding
the New Taliban: Insights from the Afghan Field
For nearly sixty years, Afghanistan has been one
of the worlds largest recipients of foreign devel-
opment aid, yet it remains one of the poorest
countries on earth. The Soviet Union provided
Afghanistan with large-scale economic and tech-
nical assistance for close to twenty-fve years be-
fore it invaded the country in 1979. It increased its
assistance during the 1980s in an efort to prop
up the current government and undermine the
insurgency, yet none of this aid made any lasting
diference to Afghan poverty. The same can be
said for many other countries, in which foreign
aid failed to promote economic growth.
Drawing on overlooked Soviet sources, this book
investigates the Soviet Unions economic and tech-
nical assistance programs from the mid-1950s to
the regimes collapse in 1991. It connects these
programs approaches to both Soviet-era develop-
ment theory and more modern ideas about the role
of institutions in fostering economic growth. In
some respects, by acknowledging the centrality of
institution building, Soviet development theorists
were actually ahead of their contemporary Western
counterparts, yet these intellectuals failed to trans-
late their ideas into practical solutions.

Policing Afghanistan
Antonio Giustozzi and Mohammed
Isaqzadeh
i enjoyed reading this book, from which i
learned a great deal about the processes and
problems of policing afghanistan. it is well
researched and, given the public and
academic interest in afghanistan, ought
to fnd a wide readership. Cornelius
Friesendorf, Frankfurt University
Adding rich facets to the technical focus of most
policing literature, this volume illuminates the his-
tory, nature, and function of Western European and
North American police organizations via a rare, in-
depth case study of post-2001 Afghanistan. Follow-
ing the evolution of Afghanistans police forces over
the past decade, while taking stock of the countrys
bitter internal conficts, Antonio Giustozzi and Mo-
hammed Isaqzadeh reveal the distinct politics of
policing within this developing nation and the role
of external actors in shaping its political economy.
They engage with ongoing debates over the future of
the Afghan police force and the strengths and weak-
nesses of existing social, political, and international
factors. Giustozzi and Isaqzadeh have watched the
Afghan police force develop from a rudimentary,
militia-based operation to a more sophisticated,
technically adept network. Their observations shed
light on the strategies international forces should
pursue in such a difcult environment to achieve
institutional and organizational success.
antonio giustozzi has written extensively on Afghanistan
and security issues. He is the author of Koran, Kalashnikov,

Local Politics in Afghanistan
A Century of Intervention in the Social Order
Edited by Conrad Schetter
local politics in Afghanistan should do for
microstudies of afghanistan what Decoding
the New Taliban did for Taliban studies.
conrad schetters edited volume is an engag-
ing set of essays on the dynamics of local
activities and how they intersect with other
agendas, whether imposed from the outside
by foreigners and international institutions
or from the inside by the afghan government
itself. Alex Strick van Linschoten, coeditor of
My Life with the Taliban
From the nineteenth century to today, Afghani-
stan has contended with relentless foreign inter-
vention. Not only have external powers, such as
British India, the Soviet Union, Pakistan, and
NATO, egregiously interfered in local afairs,
but various Afghan governments, including mo-
narchical, Communist, Islamist, and ostensibly
democratic ones, have also repeatedly meddled
with the state. The Afghan population has nev-
ertheless remained robustly resilient in the face
of this upheaval, fnding concrete ways to handle
external infuences while preserving the most
valuable aspects of their political system.
By shedding light on the dynamics of this phe-
nomenon, the essays in this volume clarify both
the complexities of Afghanistans local political
structure and the ways in which outside interven-
tion either disturbs or reinforces the local social
order. By freeing local politics from the false bi-
nary of romanticization and demonization, the
collection provides a richer understanding of Af-
ghan society and the role of social factors, such as
trust, solidarity, reciprocity, and patronage, in the
promotion of rational political objectives.
conrad schetter is a research fellow at the Center for
Development Research (ZEF) at the University of Bonn.
He is also coordinator of the Crossroads Asia: Conflict,
Migration, Development research network. His publications
focus on local structures of power and violence, the politics
of intervention, and collective identities.

Remapping India
New States and their Political Origins
Louise Tillin
In the 1950s and 1960s, the Indian government used its
distinct constitutional powers to redraw the territories
of its federal system. Responding to social and political
pressures, it carved out linguistic states in southern and
western India, established the separate states of Punjab
and Haryana, and reorganized the territories of north-
east India. Early pessimistsincluding Jawaharlal Ne-
hrufeared these acts would make ethnic identity the
basis for federal statehood, consequently encouraging
destabilization, if not outright secessionism, at a critical
juncture in Indias struggle to build a nation. Yet today
many agree the governments ability to alter boundaries
has not only bolstered Indias democratic foundations but
also reduced the potential for cultural confict.
Nevertheless, debates continue to rage over the creation
of more states, as marginalized ethnic communities,
disgruntled farmers, opportunistic politicians, regional
industrialists, and others demand satisfaction. Even
though Indias central government has approached state
creation cautiously and gradually, and India currently has
the smallest number of states per person of any federal
system in the world, an act of state creation in 2000 rep-
resents a marked and potentially worrisome shift in the
governments attitude toward territorial reorganization.
This volume investigates the recent making of Chhattis-
garh, Jharkhand, and Uttarakhand, situated within some
of the poorest, resource-rich regions of Hindi-speaking
northern and central India. Louise Tillin reveals the
politics driving the creation of these states and their re-
fection of new post-linguistic, state-reorganization con-
cerns, and she discusses the meaning of these trends for
the future map of India.
louise tillin is a lecturer in politics at the India Institute Kings
College London. She previously served as a research fellow at
Newnham College, Cambridge, and has taught at the School of Oriental
and African Studies, University of London); the London School of
Economics; Sussex University; and the Open University. She has also
worked as a South Asia analyst for BBC News.

Demystifying the Caliphate
Edited by Madawi Al-Rasheed, Carool
Kersten, and Marat Shterin
a fascinating treatment of the islamic
caliphate, particularly its highly charged and
politicized environment in recent times . . . .
what is particularly welcome about this book
is its avoidance of equating caliphate dis-
courses with militant islamism or jihadism,
crudely defned. Zaheer Kazmi, St. Antonys
College, Oxford University
Rallies in support of resurrecting the Caliphate
seem deserving of derision, believed to be the frst
steps toward the dismantling of the democratic
state. Yet while some Muslims may be nostalgic
for the Caliphate, very few are actively making its
return a reality. The Caliphate is more of a power-
ful symbol and slogan, evoking an imagined past
and an ideal Islamic polity. It is also a vastly unstable
concept contested by a number of powerful actors
within Europe, the Muslim world, and beyond.
The essays in this collection demystify the Caliphate
for modern readers, clarifying the historical rumors
surrounding the demise of the last Ottoman Caliph-
ate and the contemporary controversies informing
the call to resurrect it. Contributors include impar-
tial historians and social scientists who concentrate
on the fundamental aspects of the Caliphate and un-
pack its lingering presence in the minds of diverse
Muslims. From London to the Northern Caucasus,
from Jakarta to Baghdad and Istanbul, contributors
explore the Caliphate within the context of global
and globalized publics and against the new reality
of the Muslim umma as a multifaceted community.

The Millennial Sovereign
Sacred Kingship and Sainthood in Islam
A. Azfar Moin
[The Millennial Sovereign] blazes a fascinat-
ing trail through the occult knowledges and
enchanted mentalities of the period, with some
splendid evocations of the existential otherness
of this past age and a fne eye for detail.
Nile Green, University of California, Los Angeles
At the end of the sixteenth century, and the turn
of the frst Islamic millennium, the powerful Mu-
ghal emperor Akbar declared himself the most
sacred being on earth. Styling himself as the
messiah reborn, he claimed to be the holiest of all
saints and rose above the distinctions of religion.
Yet the Mughal emperor was not alone in doing
so. In this feld-changing study, Azfar Moin ex-
plores why Muslim sovereigns in this period be-
gan to imitate the exalted nature of Suf saints.
Uncovering a startling but widespread phenom-
enon, he shows how the charismatic pull of saint-
hood (wilayat)rather than the draw of religious
law (sharia) or holy war (jihad)inspired a new
style of sovereignty in Islam.
A work of history richly informed by the an-
thropology of religion and art, The Millennial
Sovereign follows the coming together of royal
dynastic cults and shrine-centered Sufs in the
imperial cultures of Timurid Central Asia, Sa-
favid Iran, and Mughal India. By juxtaposing
imperial chronicles, paintings, and architecture
with theories of sainthood, apocalyptic treatises,
and manuals on astrology and magic, Moin un-
covers a pattern of Islamic politics shaped by Suf
and millennial motifs. He shows how alchemical
symbols and astrological rituals enveloped the
body of the monarch, casting him as both spiri-
tual guide and material lord.
a. azfar moin is assistant professor in the Clements
Department of History at Southern Methodist University,
Dallas. His research and writing focuses on early-modern
South Asia and the Islamic world.

Advice for the Sultan
Prophetic Voices and Secular Politics in
Medieval Islam
Neguin Yavari
Neguin Yavari revisits conficting currents
in Muslim political thought from the Middle
Ages to the present, reassessing their signif-
cance and their relationship to modern history
and dominant Western and Islamic narratives.
Yavari bases her study on close readings of Is-
lamic mirrors, a form of elite literature written
by learned men providing advice on ethics and
statecraft for statesmen and rulers. Contempo-
rary scholars often dismiss mirrors as unreli-
able texts for analysis, yet when placed within
a comparative framework, they reveal fascinat-
ing trends in elite political thought. Medieval
Islamic mirrors promote secular values, such
as reason and moderation, as the most efective
safeguards against political instability and di-
vine rebuke. Though they often evoke the wrath
of God to convince kings to adopt their ways,
mirrors provide an opening for the taming
of fortune and the neutralization of accident,
chance, and luck.
The mirrors Yavari studies range from the an-
cient Egyptian Duties of the Vizier and the pre-
Islamic Iranian Letter of Tansar to the pseudo-
Aristotelian Secretum secretorum. They include
several Islamic mirrors from the tenth and
eleventh centuries and those of Hoccleve, Gow-
er, and Lydgate. These texts demonstrate the
multiple ways history and context are embed-
ded within a text, and they prove the place of
Islamic political thought within the discipline
of intellectual history.
neguin yavari is an assistant professor of history and
humanities at Eugene Lang College, the New School for
Liberal Arts.

The Inevitable Caliphate?
Contending Ideas of the State Among Hizb ut-
Tahrir, the Muslim Brotherhood, and al-Qaeda
Reza Pankhurst
Throughout Islamic history, the term Caliphate
has held the position of being the ideal Islamic
polity, with an agreed consensus in normative
Islamic scholarship upon the obligation of its
existence. After what has been termed as the
Arab Spring, which saw the removal of long-
standing dictators in the Middle East, though
the dominant discourse appears to be one of the
compatibility of Islam and democracy, the issue
of reviving the Caliphate continues to exercise
the minds of its opponents and advocates.
The Inevitable Caliphate is a unique and pro-
vocative contribution to the understanding of
Islam in politics, the path of Islamic revival
across the last century, and the waning popular-
ity of the Caliphate in Muslim discourse and its
reemergence. As an analysis of Islam and Mus-
lim polity, it avoids the use of the liberal democ-
racy as a universal yardstick while it also rejects
the categorization of Muslims into Islamists
and others. Instead, it uncovers the normative
understanding of Islamic politics that exerts
a growing pull upon Muslims today. In place
of artifcial paradigms that are unhelpful in
understanding the difering trends of Islamic
movements, the book places the words of the
proponents within the political context they are
addressing while also taking into account their
political position and religious understanding.
reza pankhurst is a political scientist and historian, spe-
cializing in the Middle East and Islamic groups. He has a
doctorate from the London School of Economics, where he
previously completed his masters degree in the history of
international relations.

The Bosnian Muslims in the
Second World War
A History
Marko Atilla Hoare
Bosnian Muslims played a signifcant role in
the outcome of World War II, which afected
their position within the Balkan conficts of
the 1990s, yet most studies either overlook or
fail to account accurately for their historical
involvement. Marko Hoare provides the frst
comprehensive history of Bosnian Muslims
in World War II, based on extensive research
in the archives of Bosnia-Hercegovina, Serbia,
and Croatia. He traces the history of Bosnia and
its Muslims from the Nazi German and fascist
Italian occupation of Yugoslavia in 1941 to the
Yugoslav civil war, concluding with the com-
munists establishment of a new Yugoslav state.
Hoare reveals Bosnian Muslims opposition to
the new Nazi and Fascist order, detailing the
diferent reasons behind and forms of their re-
sistance. He describes how the Yugoslav com-
munists harnessed Muslim opposition to sup-
port their own resistance movement, which
fundamentally decided the character and out-
come of the communist revolution. Yet despite
this aid, the victorious communists turned
their back on their Muslim allies as they con-
solidated their power, setting the scene for fu-
ture conficts over the political and social place
of Yugoslavias Muslims.
marko attila hoare is a reader at Kingston University. He
has been researching the history of the former Yugoslavia
since the early 1990s and is the author of A History of Bosnia;

The Gypsy Menace
Populism and the New Anti-Gypsy Politics
Edited by Michael Stewart
Foreword by Misha Glenny
As a new, populist politics sweeps Europe, Roma
and Gypsies are experiencing increasing preju-
dice and hostility within their resident societies.
This movement extracts political meaning from
collective identity and values forms of solidar-
ity rooted in towns, class, communities, and
nations, and it has found in Roma and Gypsies
a suitable target for citizens fears and frustra-
tions. This particular strain of politics draws on
a rising tide of xenophobia, a perceived loss of
sovereignity and democratic oversight, disillu-
sionment with political elites, frustration with
the failure of social welfare programs, the repre-
sentation of social and political conficts as cul-
tural issues, and a growing rejection of a trans-
national European order. Ranging from Belfast
to Sofa via Paris, Rome, Prague, and Budapest,
this volume shows how, in their reaction to the
ten million or so Romany in their communi-
ties, some Europeans are beginning to refashion
their thinking about the ties that bind Europes
citizens and the ways to sever them.
Contributors include political scientists, sociolo-
gists, and anthropologists from across the conti-
nent, and they contextualize the rapidly evolving
political debate regarding Roma within three
decades of major social and economic change.
They explain the reasons behind the recent,
frightening resurgence of populist politics in
Europe and the increase in interethnic violence
and hate crimes.

trained at the London School of Economics. He is the
author of Time of the Gypsies and coeditor of Lillies of the
Field: Marginal People Who Live for the Moment.

Mission Revolution
The U.S. Military and Stability Operations
Jennifer Morrison Taw
dr. Taw ofers an extremely interesting per-
spective and has made a vital contribution to
the feld of security studies. Paul D. Hughes,
Colonel, USA (Retired) and chief of staff, U.S.
Institute of Peace
Defned as operations other than war, stability op-
erations can include peacekeeping activities, pop-
ulation control, and antidrug eforts, and for the
entire history of the United States military, they
have been considered a dangerous distraction if
not an outright drain on combat resources. Yet in
2005, the U.S. Department of Defense reversed
its stance on these practices, a dramatic shift in
the mission of the armed forces and their role in
foreign and domestic afairs. With the elevation
of stability and support operations, the job of the
American armed forces is no longer just to win
battles but to create a controlled, nonviolent space
for political negotiations and accord. Yet rather
than produce revolutionary outcomes, stability op-
erations have resulted in a large-scale mission creep
with harmful practical and strategic consequences.
Jennifer Morrison Taw examines the militarys
sudden embrace of stability operations and their
implications for American foreign policy and war.

Diplomatic Sites
A Critical Enquiry
Iver B. Neumann
Diplomatic Sites is a collection of thought-
provoking, challenging, and often uncon-
ventional considerations on diplomacy. iver
neumann forces readers to think through
issues and scenarios that often step far
beyond the more comfortable ambits of
international relations. in doing so, his book
promotes critical inquiry into the logic and
practices of contemporary diplomacy.
Michele Acuto, Oxford University
Although diplomacy increasingly takes place in
nontraditional, non-Western settings, public and
academic debates still focus solely on the confer-
ence table, the ministerial ofce, and the press
conference as sites of diplomatic practice. This
book confronts the problem of diplomatic Euro-
centrism head on, weighing potentially revolu-
tionary changes such as increasing globalization
and the rise of such powers as India, China, and
Brazil. Iver B. Neumann, a Norwegian scholar
with broad diplomatic experience, considers the
potential of diplomatic sites that range from the
dinner table to a host of culturally specifc loca-
tions in which todays third parties attempt to
mediate confict, facilitate peace, and manage
aggressors and long-standing civil wars. Since
the media plays a signifcant role in shaping the
publics perception of diplomacy, Neumann sur-
veys the representation of diplomacy in popular
culture and concludes that, far from being in
crisis, diplomatic activity is becoming more and
more prevalent in an increasing number of un-
conventional locations. His study concludes that
in todays globalized world, the art of diplomacy
is thriving.
iver b. neumann is professor and director of research at
the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI). His
latest volumes are At Home with the Diplomats: Inside a
European Foreign Ministry and, with Ole Jakob Sending,

Aid Dependence in Cambodia
How Foreign Assistance Undermines Democracy
Sophal Ear
International intervention liberated Cambodia from
pariah state status in the early 1990s and laid the foun-
dations for more peaceful, representative rule. Yet the
countrys social indicators and the integrity of its politi-
cal institutions declined precipitously within a few short
years, and inequality grew dramatically. Conducting an
unfinching investigation into the case of Cambodia,
Sophal Ear uncovers the pernicious efects of aid depen-
dence and its perversion of democracy.
International intervention and foreign aid resulted in
higher infant and child mortality rates in Cambodia in
the 1990s and unprecedented corruption by the mid-
2000s. Similarly, in example after example, Ear fnds
that the more aid-dependent the country, the more dis-
torted its incentives to develop sustainably. Contrasting
Cambodias twin economic engines, tourism and cloth-
ing, with its livestock sector and internal handling of
the avian fu epidemic, he showcases the international
communitys role in preventing Cambodia from owning
its national development. A postconfict state unable to
refuse aid, Cambodia is rife with trial-and-error donor
experiments and their unintended consequences, such
as bad governance and poor domestic and tax revenue
performancea major factor curbing sustainable, na-
tionally owned growth. By outlining the terms through
which countries can achieve better ownership of their
development, Ear ofers a way forward for governments
on the brink of collapse, despite ongoing dependence on
foreign intervention and aid.
sophal ear is an assistant professor of national security affairs at the
U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, where he teaches courses on post-
conflict reconstruction and political economy. Previously, he worked
for the World Bank and the United Nations. A graduate of Princeton
University and the University of California, Berkeley, he arrived in the
United States as a Cambodian refugee at the age of ten.
sophal ears work is a refreshing
and badly needed effort at teasing
out the relationship between gover-
nance and aid.

Tolerance, Democracy, and Sufis in
Senegal
Edited by Mamadou Diouf
The book is an important contribution to democrati-
zation theory, islamic studies, and african studies. The
authors assembled engage with cutting-edge theory to
make sense of the senegalese experience. Ousmane
Kane, author of The Homeland Is the Arena: Religion,
Transnationalism, and the Integration of Senegalese
Immigrants in America.
This collection critically examines tolerance, secular-
ism, and respect for religious diversity within a social
and political system dominated by Suf brotherhoods.
Through a detailed analysis of Senegals political econ-
omy, essays trace the genealogy and dynamic exchange
among these concepts while investigating public spaces
and political processes and their reciprocal engagement
with the state, Sunni reformist and radical groups, and
nonreligious organizations.
Through a rich and nuanced historical ethnography of
the formation of Senegalese democracy, this anthology
illuminates the complex trajectory of the Senegalese
state and its refection of similar postcolonial societies.
Ofering rare perspectives on the countrys successes
since liberation, this collection identifes the role of re-
ligion, gender, culture, ethnicity, globalization, politics,
and migration in the reconfguration of the state and so-
ciety, and it makes an important contribution to democ-
ratization theory, Islamic studies, and African studies.
Scholars of comparative politics and religious studies
will also appreciate the volumes treatment of Senegal
as both an exceptional and universal example of post-
colonial development.

Songs and Secrets
South Africa from Liberation to Governance
Barry Gilder
A decade after a hard-won battle brought democ-
racy to South Africa, the countrys ruling party,
the African National Congress (ANC), found it-
self on the verge of dissolution. In 2005, South
African president and ANC member Thabo
Mbeki dismissed Jacob Zuma as his deputy
president. In retaliation, Zuma unseated Mbeki
as president of the ANC. In 2008, Mbeki an-
nounced his resignation after accusations that
he interfered with a corruption investigation into
Zumas afairs. The sum total of these events left
both ANC associates and citizens aghast at their
countrys leadership.
Was this power struggle merely the result of per-
sonal enmity, or did it refect a deeper rot within
the ANC? Was this infghting the inevitable out-
come of the ANCs transition from a liberation
movement to a governing body? Or are global
dynamics to blame, with a century of world war,
attempts at national liberation, and global class
tensions forever changing the social and politi-
cal fabric of the country and the world?
Songs and Secrets explores these questions
through Barry Gilders intimate perspective as
he embeds himself within the ANCs military
camps in Angola, travels to Moscow for intel-
ligence training, makes inroads with under-
ground forces in Botswana, and gains access
to leadership positions within the new govern-
ments administration. Along the way, he ex-
plores the personal, political, psychological, and
historical factors that gave rise to a new South
Africa and considers the often overlooked dif-
culties frustrating the ANC government in the
years after apartheid fell.

gubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection, a policy think
tank founded by former senior leaders of the democratic
government.

The EU and Africa
From Eurafrique to Afro-Europa
Edited by Adekeye Adebajo and Kaye
Whiteman
The essays in this volume confront the histori-
cal, political, socioeconomic, and cultural dimen-
sions of the European Unions relationship with
Africa. Following the high-imperial period of the
nineteenth century, many in Europe encouraged
devalopment of a partnership called Eurafrique,
which would have granted European industries
privileged access to African resources. This book
begins with Europes attempts to refashion its
relations with Africa, particularly after several
countries achieved independence in the 1960s. At
the same time, it details the historical processes
behind Europes own quest for unity and fol-
lows with an exploration of the strategic aspects
of Europe and Africas relationship today. Con-
tributors particularly focus on the place of Africa
within the EUs pursuit of global partnerships.
Key topics include trade and investment, security
and governance, migration and identity, and the
historical legacy of contemporary relations. The
volume closely analyzes key European players,
such as France, Britain, Portugal, and Scandina-
via, within the context of the EU, and it examines
Europes controversial immigration policies and
complex interactions with the Maghreb and the
Mediterranean, as well as perceptions of past and
present European identity. The study concludes
with a probing look at whether Africa and Europe
have escaped the burden of their shared history
and whether a future Afro-Europa relationship,
defned by genuine equality, partnership, and
mutual self-interest, can be achieved.
adekeye adebajo is executive director of the Centre for
Conflict Resolution (CCR) in Cape Town, South Africa. His
books include The Curse of Berlin: Africa After the Cold
War and U.N. Peacekeeping in Africa.

Double Agents
Espionage, Literature, and Liminal Citizens
Erin G. Carlston
Why were white, bourgeois, gay male writers so in-
terested in spies, espionage, and treason in the twen-
tieth century? Erin G. Carlston believes such fgures
and themes were critical to exploring citizenship
and its limits, requirements, and possibilities in the
modern Western state. Through close readings of
Marcel Prousts novels, W. H. Audens poetry, and
Tony Kushners play Angels in America, which all
reference real-life espionage cases involving Jews,
homosexuals, or communists, Carlston connects
gay mens fascination with spying to larger debates
about the making and contestation of social identity.
Carlston argues that in the modern West, a distinc-
tive position has been assigned to those perceived
to be marginal to the nation because of nonvisible
religious, political, or sexual diferences. Because
these invisible Others existed somewhere be-
tween the wholly alien and the fully normative,
they evoked acute anxieties about the security and
cohesion of the nation-state. Incorporating read-
ings of nonliterary cultural artifacts, such as trial
transcripts, into her analysis, Carlston pinpoints mo-
ments in which national self-conceptions in France,
England, and the United States grew unstable.
erin g. carlston is associate professor of English and
comparative literature at the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill.

cannibal, the child, the alien, and the posthuman,
Gabriele Schwab unpacks literary explorations at
the boundaries of the human. Treating literature
as a dynamic process that writes culture, makes
the abstract particular and local, and situates us
within the world, she pioneers a compelling ap-
proach to analyzing literary texts and their pro-
duction of meaning, knowledge, and society.
Schwabs interdisciplinary study draws on an-
thropology, philosophy, critical theory, and psy-
choanalysis to trace literatures profound impact
on the cultural imaginary. Following a new inter-
pretation of Derridas and Levi-Strausss famous
controversy over the indigenous Nambikwara,
Schwab develops readings of imaginary encoun-
ters between East and West in the novels of Pearl
S. Buck, Italo Calvinos Invisible Cities, and Ulrike
Ottingers flm Johanna dArc of Mongolia (1989).
She examines the portrayal of sexual capture and
cannibalism in Juan Jos Saers The Witness and
Marianne Wiggins John Dollar; the anxiety over
the fate of children in Richard Powerss futuristic
Operation Wandering Soul; the representation of
personhood, agency, and power in Octavia But-
lers Xenogenesis; and the fascination with primi-
tivism and the cultural other in Franz Kafkas
The Wish to Be a Red Indian, and Leslie Mar-
mon Silkos Yellow Woman. Schwab concludes
with an exploration of discourses on the post-
human, using Samuel Becketts The Lost Ones
and its imagining of a future lived under the con-
ditions of minimal life.

and Comparative Literature at the University of California
at Irvine, a faculty associate in the Department of
Anthropology, and former director of the Critical Theory
Institute. Her books in English include Haunting Legacies:

Everyday Reading
Poetry and Popular Culture in Modern America
Mike Chasar
chasars innovative and engaging study takes
turns that surpass the work of his predeces-
sors. he provocatively expands the archive for
twentieth-century american poetry to include
the radio broadcast and the roadside adver-
tisement, the personal scrapbook and busi-
ness memoranda. Edward Brunner, author of
Cold War Poetry
Everyday Reading is the frst full-length criti-
cal study of the culture surrounding American
popular and commercial poetry in the twentieth
century. Exploring poetry scrapbooks, old-time ra-
dio-show recordings, advertising verse, corporate
archives, and Hallmark greeting cards, among
other unconventional sources, Mike Chasar casts
American poetry as an everyday phenomenon
consumed and created by a vast range of readers
in diferent and complex ways.
Chasar investigates twentieth-century American
poetrys audience of millions and maps its range
of aesthetics, cultural uses, relationship to canoni-
cal verse, and unexpected presence in many parts
of modern life.
mike chasar is an assistant professor of English at
Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. He is the coeditor
of Poetry After Cultural Studies.

Prose of the World
Modernism and the Banality of Empire
Saikat Majumdar
Beautifully written and evidence of a fne intel-
ligence. prose of the World ofers a striking and
important intervention in ongoing debates in
both modernist and postcolonial studies and as
such will be a point of discussion and reference
for quite a long time. Enda Duffy, professor of
English at UC Santa Barbara
Everyday life in the far outposts of empire can
be static, empty of the excitement of progress.
A pervading sense of banality and boredom are,
therefore, common elements of the daily experi-
ence for people living on the colonial periphery.
Saikat Majumdar suggests that this impover-
ished afective experience of colonial modernity
signifcantly shapes the innovative aesthetics of
modernist fction.
Prose of the World explores the global life of this
narrative aesthetic, from late-colonial modern-
ism to the present day, focusing on a writer each
from Ireland (James Joyce), New Zealand (Kather-
ine Mansfeld), South Africa (Zoe Wicomb), and
India (Amit Chaudhuri). Ranging from Joyces
defated epiphanies to Chaudhuris disavowal
of the grand spectacle of postcolonial national
narratives, Majumdar foregrounds the banal as
a key instinct of modern and contemporary fc-
tionone that nevertheless remains submerged
because of its antithetical relation to literatures
intuitive function. Majumdar forces us to rethink
the assumption that banality merely indicates
an aesthetic failure. If narrative is traditionally
enabled by the tremor, velocity, and excitement
of the event, the historical and afective lack im-
plied by the banal produces a narrative force that
is radically new precisely because it suspends the
conventional impulses of narration.
saikat majumdar is an assistant professor of English at
Stanford University and the author of a novel, Silverfish.

Media of Reason
A Theory of Rationality
Matthias Vogel
Translated by Darrell Arnold
The strength of vogels investigation lies in
its being precise in details while nonethe-
less not losing sight of a larger philosophical
perspective. . .[this book] not only demands
a careful reading, but also, without any res-
ervation, is deserving of one. Christoph
Demmerling, University of Marburg
Matthias Vogel challenges the belief, promoted
by many contemporary philosophers, that reason
is determined solely by our discursive, linguistic
abilities as communicative beings. In his view,
the medium of language is not the only force
of reasonmusic, art, and other nonlinguistic
forms of communication and understanding are
also signifcant factors. Introducing an expansive
theory of the mind that accounts for highly so-
phisticated, penetrative media, Vogel advances a
novel conception of rationality while freeing phi-
losophy from its attachment to linguistics.
Vogels media of rationality treats all kinds of
understanding and thought, propositional and
nonpropositional, as important contributions to
the processes and production of knowledge and
thinking. By developing an account of rationality
grounded in a new conception of media, he raises
the profle of the prelinguistic and nonlinguis-
tic dimensions of rationality and advances the
Enlightenment project, bufering it against the
postmodern critique that the movement fails to
appreciate aesthetic experience.
matthias vogel holds a chair in theoretical philosophy at the
University of Giessen, Germany, and studied philosophy and
musicology at the University of Hamburg. Educated in both the
continental and the analytic tradition, he completed his masters
degree with an essay on Jrgen Habermass theory of modernity.

Beyond Pure Reason
Ferdinand de Saussures Philosophy
of Language and Its Early Romantic
Antecedents
Boris Gasparov
beyond pure Reason is a work of immense
learning, a genuine example of classical
bildungan intellectual training that has almost
completely disappeared from academia in our
day... Azade Seyhan, Bryn Mawr College
The Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure (1857
1913) revolutionized the study of language, signs,
and discourse in the twentieth century. He suc-
cessfully reconstructed the proto-Indo-European
vowel system, advanced a conception of language
as a system of arbitrary signs made meaningful
through kinetic interrelationships, and developed
a theory of the anagram so profound it gave rise to
poststructural literary criticism.
The roots of these disparate, even contradic-
tory achievements lie in the thought of early
German romanticism, which Saussure consulted
for its insight into the nature of meaning and dis-
course. Launching the frst comprehensive analysis
of Saussures intellectual heritage, Boris Gasparov
links Sassurean notions of cognition, language,
and history to early romantic theories of cognition
and the transmission of cultural memory.

of the University Seminar on Romanticism.

Making Sense of Tantric Buddhism
History, Semiology, and Transgression in the
Indian Traditions
Christian K. Wedemeyer
Making Sense of Tantric buddhism is a major
contribution to our understanding of indian
esoteric (or tantric) Buddhism. . . .christian
wedemeyer writes with verve, humor, and
most cruciallyremarkable clarity, managing
to explain difcult texts and ideas with great
lucidity. Roger R. Jackson, professor of Asian
studies and religion, Carleton College
Christian K. Wedemeyers systematic investigation
into Buddhist Tantric traditions fundamentally re-
thinks the nature of its transgressive theories and
practices and situates them frmly within larger
trends in learned Indian culture. Challenging the
notion that such phenomena are marginal or
primitive, Wedemeyer demonstrates these antino-
mian rituals of rebellion were integrally related,
ideologically and institutionally, within both the
Buddhist mainstream and Indian culture.
Revisiting various interpretations of esoteric Bud-
dhism from the early nineteenth century to the
present, Wedemeyer demonstrates the fallacies of
attributing Tantric transgression to the passions of
lusty monks, primitive tribal rites, or slavish imita-
tion of Indian aiva traditions.

tory of religions at the University of Chicago Divinity School.

Rising Seas
Past, Present, Future
Vivien Gornitz
The Earths climate is already warming due to increased
concentrations of human-produced greenhouse gases
in the atmosphere, and the specter of rising sea level is
one of global warmings most far-reaching threats. Sea
level will keep rising long after greenhouse gas emis-
sions have ceased, because of the delay in penetration
of surface warming to the ocean depths and because of
the slow dissipation of excess atmospheric carbon diox-
ide. Adopting a long perspective that interprets sea level
changes both underway and expected in the near future,
Vivien Gornitz presents a highly relevant and necessary
study of an unprecedented age in Earths history.
Gornitz consults past climate archives to help better an-
ticipate future developments and prepare for them more
efectively. She focuses on several understudied histori-
cal events, including the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal
Anomaly, the Messinian salinity crisis, the rapid flling
of the Black Sea (which may have inspired the story of
Noahs food), and the Storrega submarine slide, an inci-
dent possibly connected to a sea level occurrence roughly
8,000 years old. By examining dramatic variations in
past sea level and climate, Gornitz elucidates the poten-
tial consequences of rapid, human-induced warming.
She describes historical precedents for coastal hazards
associated with a higher ocean level. Citing the examples
of Rotterdam, London, New York City, and other forward-
looking urban centers that are efectively preparing for
higher sea level, Gornitz also delineates the difcult eco-
nomic and political choices of curbing carbon emissions
while underscoring the urgent need to do so.
vivien gornitz is a geologist and special research scientist with the
Columbia University Center for Climate Systems Research and the
NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. She has written numerous
articles on sea level rise and the impacts of climate change on the
coastal zone. She was a contributor to the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change in 2007 and to the New York City Panel on Climate
Change and New York State Energy Research and Development
Authority ClimAID in 2010 and 2011.

gornitzs book is clear, well written,
and flls an important gap in the litera-
ture. There is no other book that cov-
ers sea level rise as broadly as this one
does. her book is badly needed in the
battle for public understanding
of global change.

Evolutionary Perspectives on
Pregnancy
John C. Avise
Covering both the internal and external in-
cubation of the young, this textbook provides
a biology-rich survey of the natural history,
ecology, genetics, and evolution of pregnancy-
like phenomena. From mammals and other
live-bearing organisms to viviparous reptiles,
male-pregnant fshes, larval-brooding worms,
crabs, sea cucumbers, and corals, the worlds
species display pregnancy and other forms of
parental devotion in surprisingly multifaceted
ways. An adult female (or male) can incubate
its ofspring in a womb, stomach, mouth, vocal
sac, gill chamber, epithelial pouch, backpack,
leg pocket, nest, or an encasing of eggs, and by
studying these diverse examples closely and
comparatively, the ecological and evolutionary-
genetic outcomes of diferent reproductive
models becomes fascinatingly clear. John C.
Avise discusses each mode of pregnancy and
the decipherable genetic signatures it has left
on the reproductive structures, physiologies,
and innate sexual behaviors of extant species
over time. By considering the multiple biologi-
cal aspects of gestation from diferent evolu-
tionary angles, he presents new, surprising
fndings into the signifcance of heavy paren-
tal investment in progeny.
john c. avise is a Distinguished Professor at the University
of California, Irvine, and an elected member of the National
Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts
and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society.
Having pioneered and popularized molecular approaches
in ecology, natural history, and evolutionary genetics,
he has received national and international awards for
career contributions to ornithology, molecular ecology,
biogeography, marine biology, and wildlife conservation.

Fossil Mammals of Asia
Neogene Biostratigraphy and Chronology
Edited by Xiaoming Wang, Lawrence J.
Flynn, and Mikael Fortelius
The frst scholarly work devoted to the late Ce-
nozoic (Neogene) mammalian biostratigraphy
and geochronology of Asia, this volume deploys
cutting edge biostratigraphical and geochemi-
cal dating methods to map the emergence of
mammals across the continent. Written by spe-
cialists working in a variety of Asian regions, it
uses data from a spectacular fossil-producing
basin to establish a groundbreaking geochro-
nologic framework for land-mammal evolution.
Asias violent tectonic history has resulted in
some of the worlds most varied topography, and
its high mountain ranges and intense monsoon
climates have spawned wildly diverse environ-
ments over time. These geologic conditions
profoundly infuenced the evolution of Asian
mammals and their migration into Europe, Af-
rica, and North America. Focusing on amazing
new fossil fnds that have redefned Asias role
in mammal evolution, this textbook synthe-
sizes information from a range of feld studies
on Asian mammals and biostratigraphy, help-
ing to trace the histories and movements of ex-
tinct and extant mammals from various major
groups and all northern continents, and provid-
ing geologists from all disciplines with a richer
understanding of a variety of Asias basins.

Frederic G. Reamer
praise for the frst edition:
This book makes a unique contribution to
the literature on professional values and eth-
ics. The review of concepts, the typologies
of boundary issues and examples, and the
importance of practitioner alertness, refec-
tion, and consultation will all lead to higher-
quality decision making under uncertainty.
International Social Work
Should a therapist disclose personal information
to a client, accept a clients gift, or provide a former
client with a job? Is it appropriate to exchange e-
mail or text messages with clients or correspond
with them on social-networking websites? Some
acts, such as initiating a sexual relationship with
a client, are clearly prohibited, yet what about
more subtle interactions, such as hugging or ac-
cepting invitations to a social event or joining a
clients social networking site?
In this still-unique resource (originally titled
Tangled Relationships: Boundary Issues and Dual
Relationships in the Human Services), Frederic G.
Reamer, a certifed authority on professional eth-
ics, ofers a frank analysis of a range of boundary
issues and their complex formulations, providing
practical risk-management models that prevent
problematic situations and help balance dual rela-
tionships. Updated to refect recent developments
in practitioner ethics and policy, this edition fea-
tures extremely relevant case studies and analy-
ses of ongoing challenges in the mental health
feld, school settings, child welfare, addiction
programs, home healthcare, elder services, and

Gang Life in Two Cities
An Insiders Journey
Robert J. Durn
Gang life in Two cities is a masterful insider
perspective and analysis of gangs, policing
and criminal justice, setting a new standard
for research and scholarship in the feld. a
must read for anyone interesting in gangs,
gang diversion, and criminal justice. Alfredo
Mirande, University of California, Riverside
Refusing to cast gangs in solely criminal terms,
Robert J. Durn, a former gang member turned
scholar, recasts such groups as an adaptation to
the racial oppression of colonization in the Amer-
ican Southwest. Developing a paradigm rooted in
ethnographic research and almost two decades of
direct experience with gangs, Durn completes
the frst study to follow so many marginalized
groups so intensely for so long, revealing their
core characteristics, behavior, and activities with-
in two unlikely American cities.
Durn spent fve years in Denver, Colorado, and
Ogden, Utah, conducting 145 interviews with
gang members, law enforcement ofcers, prose-
cutors, and other related individuals. From his re-
search, he constructs a comparative outline of the
emergence and criminalization of Latino youth
groups, the ideals and worlds they create, and the
reasons for their persistence. He also underscores
the failures of violent gang- suppression tactics,
which have only further entrenched these groups
within the barrio. Encouraging cultural activists
and current and former gang members to pursue
grassroots empowerment, Durn proposes new
solutions to racial oppression that challenge and
truly alter the conditions of gang life.
robert j. durn is an assistant professor of criminal jus-
tice at New Mexico State University. He earned his Ph.D. at
the University of ColoradoBoulder and his research con-
cerns modern-day racism and community resistance, from
gang evolution and border surveillance to disproportionate
minority contact and law enforcement shootings.

Hospice Social Work
Dona J. Reese
This new book signifcantly adds to the
growing literature on social work and end-of-
life care. social work educators, clinicians and
researchers would be well served utilizing this
comprehensive text. dr. reeses book provides
a historical perspective for new hospice social
workers but also ofers substantial content for
the seasoned team social worker. The chapter
on self care should be required reading for all
hospice/palliative social workers.
Sherri Weisenfluh, LCSW ACHP-SW
This is the frst book to explore the history,
characteristics, and challenges of hospice so-
cial work, incorporating leading research into
an underlying framework for practice and care.
A longtime hospice social work practitioner,
Dona J. Reese describes the hospice social work
role in assessment and intervention with indi-
viduals, families, groups, organizations, and
the community, while honestly confronting the
personal and professional difculties of such
life-changing work. She introduces a well-test-
ed model of psychosocial and spiritual variables
that predict hospice client outcomes, and she
advances a social work assessment tool that
documents their occurrence. Operating at the
center of national leaders coordinated eforts
to develop and advance professional organiza-
tions and guidelines for end-of-life care, Reese
reaches out with support and practice informa-
tion, helping social workers understand their
signifcance in treating the whole person, con-
tributing to the cultural competence of hospice
settings, and claiming a defnitive place within
the hospice team.
dona j. reese is an associate professor at the School
of Social Work, Southern Illinois University. She is a for-
mer hospice social worker and former Social Worker
Section Leader for the National Hospice and Palliative
Care Organization, and she has worked with colleagues
to advance the field through the National Hospice Social
Work Survey and the Social Work Assessment Tool (SWAT).

Social Welfare in East Asia and
the Pacific
Edited by Sharlene B. C. L. Furuto
it is thorough, informative, comprehensive,
and thoughtful. There are lessons presented
that could be useful for development discus-
sions in other social, political, and cultural
contexts, including western cultures. This
book should have value well beyond social
work. Cathryne L. Schmitz, University of
North Carolina at Greensboro
In this collection, indigenous scholars provide
history and analysis for the social welfare sys-
tems of Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indo-
nesia, Malaysia, Micronesia, sSamoa, South
Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. Vastly under-
studied in current social work literature, these
nations ofer critical insight into the successes
and failures of NGOs, political institutions, and
traditional responses to a range of social work
concerns. Sharlene B. C. L. Furuto comple-
ments these essays with a comparative analy-
sis of the evolution of social welfare in each
of these countries, concentrating on the simi-
larities and diferences between indigenous ap-
proaches, institutional and nongovernmental
organization involvement, the status of the so-
cial work profession, the availability and quality
of social work education, the success of Asian
Pacifc Island models, and various paradigms
and templates. Designed as both a textbook for
courses in international social work, multicul-
tural issues in social work, and social welfare,
and as a reference for academics and practitio-
ners, this volume has profound implications for
social work education and practice.

Storytelling in World Cinemas
Volume 2: Contexts
Edited by Lina Khatib
Storytelling in World Cinemas, Vol. 2: Contexts
addresses the questions of what and why par-
ticular stories are told in flms around the
world, in terms of both the forms of storytell-
ing used, and the political, religious, histori-
cal, and social contexts informing cinematic
storytelling. Drawing on flms from six con-
tinents, the book approaches storytelling
from a cultural/historical multidisciplinary
perspective, focusing on the infuence of cul-
tural politics, postcolonialism, womens social
and cultural positions, and religious contexts
on flm stories. Like its sister volume, Story-
telling in World Cinemas, Vol. 1: Forms, this
book is an innovative addition to the academic
study of world cinemas.
lina khatib leads the Program on Arab Reform and
Democracy at Stanford Universitys Freeman Spogli
Institute for International Studies. She is the author of
Filming the Modern Middle East: Politics in the Cinemas
of Hollywood and the Arab World (2006) and Lebanese
Cinema: Imagining the Civil War and Beyond (2008).

Dekalog 5: On Dogville
Edited by Sara Fortuna and Laura Scuriatti
On Dogville is the result of the lively debates
prompted by Lars von Triers flm among its
wide and diverse public. The essays in the
volume have been written by authors from
across Europe interested in diferent theoreti-
cal approaches and perspectives, ranging from
philosophy and ethics to flm history, critical
theory, gender and media studies, and linguis-
tics. The volume presents the reader with a
plurivocal account of the flms context and its
relevance to the discussions on various topical
issues in contemporary culture. Each chapter
focuses on one or more aspects of the flm,
building on specifc concepts and theoretical
frames, such as the Marxist paradigm of objec-
tifcation, Girards theory of violence, Deleuzes
philosophy of flm, the theological category of
grace, the concept of integrity, Wittgensteins
refections on seeing-as and aspect change,
and, fnally, feminist critique to Jakobsons lin-
guistic theories.
sara fortuna teaches philosophy of language at the
Guglielmo Marconi University of Rome and is associate mem-
ber at the Berlin Institute for Cultural Inquiry.

Peep Shows
Cult Film and the Cine-Erotic
Edited by Xavier Mendik
Expanding on recent work in the felds of gender,
cultural, and audience-based studies, Peep Shows:
Cult Film and the Cine-Erotic examines the global
traditions of cult erotica, explaining key patterns,
paradigms, and performers from the world of cult
celluloid sexuality. Peep Shows includes profles of
porn performers and icons, including Ron Jeremy,
Betty Page, Catherine Breillat, and Joe DAmato.
Essays also provide case studies of contemporary
porn parodies, lesbian erotica, Japanese Pink
porn cinema, Caf Flesh, the Seduction cinema
label, the dominatrix in erotic cinema, female
porn viewers, burlesque cinema programming,
and porno -chic soundtracks. The volume fea-
tures exclusive interviews with erotic performers
such as Seka, Buck Angel, Misty Mundae, Chris-
tina Thriller Lindberg, and the prolifc porn
producer Michael L. Raso. From meditations
on the nature of explicit imagery and profles of
prominent pornographic performers to discus-
sions of national traditions of erotica and the
titillating potential of new technologies, cine-
erotica has become a signifcant and subversive
category of contemporary flm, media, and cultural
studies analysis.
xavier mendik is director of the Cine-Excess International
Film Festival.

Killer Images
Documentary Film, Memory, and the
Performance of Violence
Edited by Joram ten Brink and Joshua
Oppenheimer
Today, when media coverage is central to the ex-
ecution of terror campaigns and news anchors
serve as embedded journalists, a critical under-
standing of how the moving image is implicated
in the imaginations and actions of perpetrators
and survivors of violence is all the more urgent.
This edited anthology brings together a range of
newly commissioned essays and interviews from
the worlds leading academics and documentary
flmmakers, including Ben Anderson, Errol Mor-
ris, Harun Farocki, Rithy Phan, Avi Mograbi,
Brian Winston, and Michael Chanan. Contribu-
tors explore such topics as the tension between
remembrance and performance, the function of
moving images in the execution of political vio-
lence, and nonfction flmmaking methods that
facilitate communities of survivors to respond to,
recover, and redeem a history that sought to phys-
ically and symbolically annihilate them.
joram ten brink is professor of film at the University of
Westminster, London, where he is also the director of Doc West,
the Centre for Production and Research of Documentary Film.
joshua oppenheimer is a filmmaker based in London and

The Cinema of the Dardenne
Brothers
Responsible Realism
Philip Mosley
The brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne
have established an international reputation
for their emotionally powerful realist cinema.
Inspired by their home turf of Lige-Seraing,
a former industrial hub of French-speaking
southern Belgium, they have crafted a series
of fction flms that blend acute observation of
life on the social margins with moral fables for
the postmodern age. This volume analyzes the
brothers career from their leftist video docu-
mentaries of the 1970s and 1980s through
their debut as directors of fction flms in the
late 1980s and early 1990s to their six major
achievements from The Promise (1996) to The
Kid with a Bike (2011), an oeuvre that includes
two Golden Palms at the Cannes flm festi-
val, for Rosetta (1999) and The Child (2005).
It argues that the ethical dimension of the
Dardennes work complements rather than
precludes their sustained expression of a fun-
damental political sensibility.
philip mosley is professor of English and comparative lit-
erature at the Pennsylvania State University. He is the author
of many works, including Split Screen: Belgian Cinema and
Cultural Identity (2001) and a translation from French of The
Book of the Snow by Franois Jacqmin, which was short-
listed for the 2011 Griffin Poetry Prize.

The Cinema of Takeshi Kitano
Flowering Blood
Sean Redmond
The Cinema of Takeshi Kitano: Flowering Blood
is a detailed aesthetic, Deleuzian, and phe-
nomenological exploration of Japans fnest
currently working flm director, performer,
and celebrity. The volume uniquely explores
Kitanos oeuvre through the tropes of still-
ness and movement, becoming animal, mel-
ancholy and loss, intensity, schizophrenia, and
radical alterity, and through the aesthetic tem-
peratures of color, light, camera movement,
performance, and urban and oceanic space. In
this highly original monograph, all of Kitanos
flms are given due consideration, including A
Scene at the Sea (1991), Sonatine (1993), Dolls
(2002), and Outrage (2010).

Bollywood

Kush Varia
While we have become familiar
with the idea of Bollywood
here in the West, we know little
about the industrys flms be-
yond a certain celebration of
kitsch. This volume surveys this
style of flmmaking from its ori-
gins in colonial times to the pres-
ent, tracing its impact on both
the Indian and global imagina-
tion. It explores the history and
workings of the industry, the
narratives and aesthetics of its
flms, varieties within the genre,
the cultural connotations of spe-
cifc characters, its larger-than-
life stars, and its hybrid and sur-
prising fan cultures. Readings
of popular and widely available
flms illustrate the importance of
the cinemas conventions, which
range from romantic clichs to a
constant negotiation between tra-
dition and modernity.
kush varia is an independent scholar.
He has worked as a researcher for
the British Universities Film and Video
Council.

Barbara Mennel
Queer Cinema: Schoolgirls,
Vampires, and Gay Cowboys
illustrates queer cinematic
aesthetics by highlighting key
flms that emerged at histori-
cal turning points throughout
the twentieth century. The
book traces the representation
of gays and lesbians from the
sexual liberation movements
of the roaring 1920s in Berlin
to the Stonewall Rebellion in
New York City and the emer-
gence of queer activism and
flm in the early 1990s. The
book explains early tropes of
queerness, such as the board-
ing school or the vampire, and
describes the development of
camp from 1950s Hollywood
to underground art of the late
1960s in New York City.

Action Movies
The Cinema of Striking Back
Harvey OBrien
Action Movies: The Cinema of
Striking Back is a study of ac-
tion cinema, exploring the eth-
ics and aesthetics of the genre
with reference to its relatively
short history. It moves from
seminal classics like Bullitt
(1968) and Dirty Harry (1971)
through epoch-defning flms
like Rambo: First Blood Part II
(1985) and Die Hard (1988) to
revisions, reboots, and renew-
als in flms like Kill Bill Vol. 1
(2003), Taken (2008), and The
Expendables (2010).
The action movie is profoundly
disturbing as an embodiment
of moral ideology, and its en-
during appeal proves the appe-
tite for assurance remains un-
diminished, even in the wake
of 9/11.

The Vajra Rosary Tantra
(Vajramltantra)
By Vajradhara
Study and Translation by David R. Kittay
This is a study and frst complete English translation
of the Vajra Rosary Tantra (Skt. Vajraml, Tib. rdo rje
phreng ba), one of the key Explanatory Tantras of the
Secret Community (Skt. Guhyasamja) and other Tantric
systems. The text describes how, after the prerequisite
preparations and realizations of the bodhisattva path,
through further intense, lengthy, and subtle practices of
meditation and other activities, one can become a com-
pletely enlightened buddha.
The Tantra contains a detailed discussion of the types of
yogic practice also discussed in Ngrjunas Five Stages
(Skt. Pacakrama, Tib. rim pa lnga pa), principally cov-
ering the frst of the perfection-stage (nipannakrama)
practices, that of vajra repetition (vajrajapa) or speech
isolation, but spanning all of the levels of practice up to
the stage of integration (yuganaddha), or buddhahood. A
distinctive feature of this Tantra is its description of the
manipulation of the cakra system and the naming and
techniques for mobilizing the subtle neural energywinds
(pra) in meditation, as well as a discussion of how
those energywinds manifest during the cycles of life and
death. The text covers, among other things, the initia-
tions of the perfection stage; great bliss (mahsukha) and
the four ecstasies and how they are produced through
sexual yoga; the use of mantras; the Guhyasamja body
mandala of thirty-two deities; the uniting of the various
channels (n); the six yogas of the perfection stage; the
twenty rituals of the creation stage (utpattikrama); and
the crucial role played by emptiness in the overall system.
The only known commentary on the Vajra Rosary is that
by Alakakalaa, and the translator has drawn heavily
on that work in his detailed summary of and commen-
tary on the Tantra. The introduction gives an account of
the history of the text and its Indian and Tibetan trans-
lators, particularly the royal monk Zhi ba od and the
Indian abbot Sujana r Jna, who, the translator theo-
rizes, might have been Ata.
david r. kittay holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University in religion and
a J.D. from Boston University, is president of the Tibetan Translators
Guild of New York, and teaches contemporary civilization at Columbia
University.

The Adamantine Songs
(Vajragti)
By Saraha
Study, Translation, and Tibetan Critical Edition
by Lara Braitstein
Presented here in English for the frst time is a set of
three of Sarahas Adamantine Songs (Skt. Vajragti; Tib.
rdo rjei glu), poetic works that play a central role in the
Great Seal (mahmudr) tantric tradition of both India
and Tibet. The tantric adept (siddha) Saraha was among
the most notable fgures from Indias late frst millen-
nium, a time of rich religious and literary activity. His in-
fuence on Buddhist practice and poetry extended beyond
the Indian subcontinent into Tibet, where it continues to
afect every tradition that engages the practice and phi-
losophy of the esoteric Great Seal.
In these songs, Sarahas views on the nature of mind are
presented as both evocative poetry and theoretical exege-
sis. These songs ofer a new perspective on the religious
life of Buddhist India and the fgure of one of its most
famous adepts.
Braitstein opens the door to this important set of texts
by Saraha through her elegant translation, critical edi-
tion of the Tibetan texts, and in-depth analysis of the
three poems. She situates Saraha and his work both
in the Tibetan Buddhist sphere and in a broader South
Asian literary and religious context, closely treating the
central themes in Sarahas poems, highlighting the
specifc siddha worldview espoused in his oeuvre, and
at the same time unpacking the cryptic references con-
tained in the songs individual verses. With this book,
Braitstein substantially increases the amount of Sarahas
poetry available to an English-speaking audience and
contributes to the ever-increasing movement to explore
the culture of the tantric adepts.
lara braitstein is associate professor of religious studies at McGill
University.

The Essence of the Ocean of
Attainments
Explanation of the Creation Stage of the Glorious
Secret Union, King of All Tantras
By Losang Chokyi Gyaltsen
(The First Panchen Lama)
Study and Translation
by Yael Bentor and Penpa Dorjee
The Essence of the Ocean of Attainments (dngos grub kyi
rgya mtshoi snying po) is a commentary on the creation
stage of the Secret Union Tantra (Guhyasamja Tantra)
written by the illustrious First Panchen Lama, Losang
Chokyi Gyaltsen (15701662). The practices of the Secret
Union, one of the earliest higher Tantras, along with its
remarkable hermeneutic system, were later applied to
other Tantras as well. Still very much a living tradition,
in our times the fourteenth Dalai Lama confers its em-
powerment almost every year. In this work, the Panchen
Lama not only elucidates each step of the meditation in
the sdhana sequence but also ofers general insights
into the practice and its workings.
Included is an introduction surveying the creation stage
as presented by the founding fathers of the Geluk school
and analyzing the contents of The Essence of the Ocean of
Attainments. The translation features both explanatory
annotations for the general reader and copious biblio-
graphical endnotes for scholars.
yael bentor teaches Indian and Tibetan Buddhism as well as classi-
cal Tibetan language at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
penpa dorjee earned his Ph.D. from the Central University of
Tibetan Studies, Sarnath, Varanasi, where he currently teaches and
conducts research in their Restoration Department.

Factory Towns of South China
An Illustrated Guidebook
Edited by Stefan Al
in a series of expertly written and richly illustrated
essays, this volume provides a critical overview of
how south chinas pearl river delta, with its hard-
working population almost equal to Japans, has
become the worlds factory over the course of a sin-
gle generation. The price tag in environmental deg-
radation and human exploitation has been steep, but
the deltas restless landscape continues to evolve.
what will it look like in another 30 years? read this
book for its many fascinating insights.
John Friedmann, Professor Emeritus, UCLA
Most consumer products come primarily from the Pearl
River Delta, the factory of the world, with the largest
industrial region on earth. The delta has attracted mil-
lions of poor rural residents to settle in factory towns
in hopes for a better life. Factory Towns of South China
opens a window on these walled compounds, exposing
the gritty establishments, crowded dormitories and mo-
notonous labor carried out by workers. Some function
as self-contained cities, with their own fre brigade, hos-
pital, bank, TV station, and as many as half a million
workers living within the compounds. Other factories
are scattered in larger villages to mask their existence
and evade governmental crackdowns on the production
of fake consumer goods and illegal casino machines.
contributors include david Bray, minnie chan,
Jia-ching chen, paul chu hoi shan, eli friedman,
claudia Juhre, laurence liauw, paul lin, Ting shi,
casey wang, rex wong and chun Yang.
stefan al is director of the Urban Design Program at the University
of Hong Kong.

The Memoirs of Jin Luxian
Learning and Relearning, 19161982
Luxian Jin
Translated by William Hanbury Tenison with
an introduction by Anthony E. Clark
Jin Luxian is considered by many to be one of
Chinas most controversial religious fgures.
Educated by the Jesuits, he joined the Society
of Jesus and was ordained priest in 1945 before
continuing his studies in Europe. In 1951 he
made the dangerous decision to return to the
newly established Peoples Republic of China.
He became one of the many thousands of Ro-
man Catholics who sufered persecution. Con-
victed of counter-revolutionary activities and
treason, he was imprisoned for twenty-seven
years and only released in 1982. His subse-
quent decision to accept the governments
invitation to resume his prior role as head of
the Shanghai Seminary and then assume the
title of bishop of Shanghai without Vatican
approval shocked many Catholics. Now, some
thirty years later, still serving as bishop and
regarded as one of the leading fgures in the
Chinese Catholic Church, Jin recounts forma-
tive experiences that provide essential insight
into the faith and morality that sustained him
through the turbulent years of the late twenti-
eth century.
jin luxian is the Roman Catholic bishop of Shanghai.

Anna May Wong
From Laundrymans Daughter
to Hollywood Legend
Graham Russell Gao Hodges
in this groundbreaking biog-
raphy . . . hodges reveals this
captivating woman, ofering
readers a sense of the strug-
gle her career represented.
Publishers Weekly
Anna May Wong was perhaps the
best known Chinese American
ac tress during Hollywoods gold-
en age, a free spirit and embodi-
ment of the fapper era much like
Louise Brooks. She starred in
more than ffty mov ies between
1919 and 1960. Her most famous
flm roles were in The Thief of
Baghdad, Old San Francisco, and
Shanghai Express opposite Mar-
lene Dietrich. In a narrative that
recalls both the gritty life in Los
Angeless working-class Chinese
neighborhoods and the glamour
of Hollywood at its peak, Gra-
ham Hodges recounts the life
of this elegant, beautiful, and
under-appreciated screen legend.

Queer Singapore
Illiberal Citizenship and
Mediated Cultures
Edited by Audrey Yue and
Jun Zubillaga-Pow
Singapore remains one of the few
countries in Asia that has yet to
decriminalize homosexuality. Yet
it has also been hailed by many as
one of the emerging gay capitals
of Asia. This book accounts for the
rise of mediated queer cultures
in Singapores current milieu of
illiberal citizenship. This collec-
tion analyzes how contemporary
queer Singapore has emerged
against a contradictory backdrop
of sexual repression and cultural
liberalization. Established and
emergent local scholars and activ-
ists provide expansive coverage
of the efect of homosexuality on
Singapores media cultures and
political economy, including law,
religion, the military, literature,
theater, photography, cinema, so-
cial media, and queer commerce.
audrey yue is senior lecturer at the
University of Melbourne.
jun zubillaga-pow is a Ph.D. candi-
date at Kings College London.

Pax Sinica
Geopolitics and Economics
of Chinas Ascendance
Y. Y. Kueh
The book confronts the popu-
lar conjecture of a Pax Sinica
emerging to replace Pax Ameri-
cana in the wake of global f-
nancial crisis. It argues that
by virtue of its overwhelming
economic, technological and
military clout, U.S. hegemony
will continue to prevail, though
increasingly less coherently,
as Chinas ascendance as a
global power accelerates. The
argument is underpinned with
analysis of diferent junctures
in Chinas trajectory toward the
status of economic giant, from
the tacit creation of the Great-
er China growth triangle and
ordeal of the Asian fnancial cri-
sis, through the breakthrough
with Chinas membership in the
WTO and the subsequent large-
scale realignment of productive
forces in the Asia-Pacifc region.

Travels in Malaysia and
Singapore
Sudhir Thomas Vadaketh
What happens after a country
splits apart? Forty-fve years ago
Singapore separated from Malay-
sia. Since then, the two countries
have developed along their own
paths. Malaysia has given prefer-
ence to the majority Malay Mus-
limsthe bumiputera, or sons of
the soil. Singapore, meanwhile,
has tried to build a meritocracy.
How have these policies afected
ordinary people? How do these
two divergent nations now see
each other and the world around
them? Seeking answers to these
questions, two Singaporeans cy-
cled around peninsular Malaysia,
stopping to speak with hundreds
of Malaysians. What they found
are two countries that have de-
veloped economically but are still
struggling to fnd their souls.

mentator on economic and polit-

Writing In(to)
Architecture
Chinas Architectural Design
and Construction Since 1949
Sylvia Chan
Using detailed examples from
feld journals and the mass
media, Sylvia Chan traces
the evolution of architectural
journalism in China from
1949 to the present. She takes
us from the propagandistic
writings of the Mao era, when
the government used archi-
tectural journalism to enforce
successive waves of politi-
cally fashionable architectural
principles, to the contempo-
rary free-for-all discourse
now stretching into the blogo-
spherewhere politics and
nationalism sometimes mas-
querade as architectural de-
bate. Additionally, Chan iden-
tifes important issues that
transcend China, weaving in
broader insights about the
role of the architecture critic
in society.
sylvia chan graduated in architec-
tural histories and theories at the
Architectural Association School of
Architecture in London.

Preventing Family
Violence
A Multidisciplinary Approach

Family violence, including in-
timate-partner violence, elder
abuse, and child maltreatment,
is a serious and deteriorating
social problem. It may cause ir-
reparable damage to the victims
physical and mental health, as
well as social functioning, wel-
fare, and legal status. Previous
eforts to formulate preventive
measures under diferent disci-
plines are often inefective. This
book is among the frst attempts
to integrate perspectives from
diferent interrelated disciplines
into the development of preven-
tive strategies for family violence.
Experts from health, legal, social
work, sociology, and psychology
have contributed to the multidis-
ciplinary approach based on their
professional discretion.

Early Chinese Texts on Painting
Susan Bush and Hsio-yen Shih
For students of Chinese art and culture this an-
thology has proven invaluable since its initial
publication in 1985. It collects important Chi-
nese writings about painting, from the earliest
examples through the fourteenth century, al-
lowing readers to see how the art of this rich
era was seen and understood in the artists
own times. Some of the texts in this treasury
fall into the broad category of aesthetic theory;
some describe specifc techniques; some dis-
cuss the work of individual artists. The texts
are presented in accurate and readable transla-
tions and prefaced with artistic and historical
background information to the formative pe-
riods of Chinese theory and criticism. A glos-
sary of terms and an appendix containing brief
biographies of 270 artists and critics add to the
usefulness of this volume.

The Chinese Literati on
Painting
Su Shih (10371101) to Tung Chi-chang
(15551636)
Susan Bush
This classic work, frst published in 1971, ex-
plores the transition in painting styles from
the late Sung period to the art of Yuan dynasty
literati. Building on the pioneering work of
Oswald Siren and James Cahill, Susan Bushs
investigations of painting done under the Chin
dynasty confrmed the dominance of scholar-
artists in the north and their gradual develop-
ment of scholarly painting traditions, and a re-
lated study of Northern Sung writings showed
that their theory was shaped as much by the
views of their social class as by their artistic
aims. Bushs perspective on Sung scholars art
and theory helps explain the emergence of li-
terati painting as the main artistic tradition in
Yuan times. Social history thus served to sup-
plement an understanding of the evolution of
artistic styles.

Autobiography

The fi rsT sTudenT gui de To
ameri can auToBi ographY.
This introduction to the major
forms of autobiographical writ-
ing in America and important
current developments in au-
tobiography studies discusses
both canonized texts and
those from contemporary writ-
ers. Taking a broadly chrono-
logical approach, the history
of American autobiography is
explored, including the social
and cultural factors that might
account for the importance of
autobiography in American
culture. Then post-1970 au-
tobiographies are examined,
taking into account the devel-
opment in poststructuralism
from this time that afected no-
tions of the subject who could
write and conceptions of truth,
identity, and reference.

Imperial Rome AD
193 to 284
The Critical Century
Clifford Ando
The Roman Empire during the
period framed by the accession
of Septimus Severus in 193 and
the rise of Diocletian in 284 has
conventionally been regarded as
one of crisis. Between 235 and
284, at least eighteen men held
the throne of the empire, for an
average of less than three years,
a reckoning that does not take
into account all the relatives and
lieutenants with whom those
men shared power. Compared
to the century between the
accession of Nerva and the death
of Commodus, this appears to
be a period of near unintelligi-
bility. The middle of the century
also witnessed catastrophic, if
temporary, ruptures in the ter-
ritorial integrity of the empire.

of Chicago.

New Frontiers
Law and Society in the
Roman World
Edited by Paul J. du Plessis
Roman law as a feld of study is
rapidly evolving to refect new
perspectives and approaches
in research. Scholars who work
on the subject are increasingly
being asked to conduct re-
search in an interdisciplinary
manner whereby Roman law
is seen not merely as a set of
abstract concepts devoid of any
background, but as a body of
law that operated in a specifc
social, economic, and cultural
context. This context-based
approach to the study of Ro-
man law is an exciting new
feld that legal historians must
address. Since the mid-1960s,
a new academic movement has
advocated a law and society
approach to the study of Roman
law instead of the prevailing
dogmatic methodology em-
ployed in many faculties of law.
paul j. du plessis is a legal historian

The Place of Breath
in Cinema
Davina Quinlivan
an exploraTi on of The
fi guri ng of aBsence i n
fi lm.
How can the cinema articulate
the interstices between visibil-
ity and invisibility, and how are
such notions of absence and the
unseen implicated in the flm
experience? This study consid-
ers the locus of the breathing
body in the flm experience and
its implications for the study of
embodiment in flm and sen-
suous spectatorship. Quinlivan
puts forward a mode of critical
engagement with flm shaped
by the foregrounding of the hu-
man body in the flmic diegesis
and the viewing experience. The
books foregrounding of the
human body as, importantly, a
breathing body in flm, coupled
with its fresh engagement with
continental philosophy, post-
structuralist flm theory and
contemporary western cinema,
makes a unique and valuable
contribution to the feld.
davina quinlivan is a lecturer in film
studies at Kings College, London and
Kingston University.

The concept of heritage cinema

untested assumptions about its

The Sense of Film
Narration
Ian Garwood
This book investigates the sen-
suous qualities of narration in
the feature-length fction flm
Sensuous narration takes place
when details of visual (or au-
ral) texture are foregrounded
for storytelling purposes. The
book provides a comprehensive
account of existing work on flm
narration and ofers an over-
view of the sensuous aspects of
cinematic storytelling, as dem-
onstrated through a broad se-
lection of flms. The flms used
as case studies in the book are
particularly multilayered, for
example, flms whose images
are a combination of color and
monochrome, such as The Wiz-
ard of Oz; whose soundtracks
feature multiple voiceover nar-
rators, such as All About Eve; or
that feature multiple performers
portraying the same character,
such as the biopic Im Not There
about Bob Dylan.

Digital Imaging in
Popular Cinema
Lisa Purse
This book explores how flm
analysis can take account of the
presence of digital images in
cinema. Digital images are now
ubiquitous elements within the
cinematic frame, but, as we ana-
lyze flms or flm moments, it
can often be difcult to be sure
howand how muchto talk
about digital elements. This ac-
cessible book demystifes the re-
lationship of digital imaging to
processes of watching and read-
ing flms, and gives scholars and
students the tools to engage with
digital imaging in cinema with
ease. A wide-ranging series of
case studies demonstrates how
digital elements can be discussed
and analyzed in diferent scenar-
ios, and a language is developed
to describe digital elements accu-
rately. Not just for digital-efects
enthusiasts, this book is essential
for anyone interested in how to
approach flm critically; it is a
toolbox for contemporary flm
analysis.

Spanish Queer
Cinema
Chris Perriam
This book examines flmmak-
ing, festivals, and queer lives
and cultures in Spain since
1998.
There is a lot more to Spanish
queer cinema than Pedro Al-
modvar or the gay comedies
of the 1990s. A wealth of short
flms, documentaries, and fea-
turesmany by, for, or about
lesbiansis at the core of a
creative culture responding
to exceptionally intense so-
cial changes. The country has
moved from institutionalizing
same-sex unions at the re-
gional civic level (1998) to legal
recognition of same-sex mar-
riage (2005). Moving images
and the debates and conversa-
tions around them have made
a stand against homophobia
and exclusion, responded to
health and welfare crises, ques-
tioned or afrmed the value of
same-sex marriage, and con-
structed new forms of love and
community. They, and their
audiences, build a new Span-
ish queer imagination. The
book opens all this up and
shows some of the wider social
contexts and forms of commu-
nication that underpin it.

flmmakers have also explored
fctional genres as diverse and

northwest to the Russian far

ofers an introduction to the
amateur maker of flm com-

this book also identifes an im-

More signifcantly, Symons also

Unlike countries such as France,
the Czech Republic, or Brazil,
Italy did not have a new wave
properly understood as a move-
ment. However, while new ar-
tistic schools were emerging in
many other countries, Italy was
undergoing its most dramatic
social and economic transfor-
mations. Those violent changes,
together with the perceived ne-
cessity of renewing the aesthetic
heritage of neorealism, sparked
a drastic regeneration of the cin-
ematic language and marked
the most memorable period of
Italian flm history. Olmi, Paso-
lini, Antonioni, Fellini, Visconti,
the Taviani brothers, Cavani,
Rosi, Ferreri, and many others
all made their debut or directed
their most representative works
during this period.

extension to world literary
space. They also explore Bour-

in practice, which sometimes
deviates from his stringent
methodological prescriptions,
shedding new light not only on
Bourdieus work on literature
but also on his sociology more

The Minaret
Jonathan Bloom
Tracing its origins and develop-

minaret, long understood to
have been invented in the early
years of Islam as the place from
which the muezzin gives the call
to prayer, was actually invented
some two centuries later to be a
visible symbol of Islam.
Originally published in 1989,
this new edition is revised,
expanded and generously illus-
trated in color. In addition to
Iran, Egypt, Turkey, and India
West, it now explores the mina-
ret in East Africa, Yemen, and

The Man of Wiles (otherwise
known as the Master Thief, the
Trickster, or the Fool) appears
in every hero cycle within clas-
sical Arabic literatureproof
of this fgures popularity with
the audiences of Arab storytell-
ers. He embodies views accept-
able to an otherwise inarticulate
part of the population, allowing
Islam to be treated in a paradoxi-
cal and sometimes humorous
light in contrast to conventional
piety. And he shares with Od-
ysseus not only his wiles but
his function as the sacker of
cities, redressing the idea that
classical Arabic literature is un-
related to anything outside its
own borders. The study of this
popular form sets out in detail
the recorded lives of these Men
of Wiles for those to whom the
original texts are not available.

Sufism in the Contemporary
Arabic Novel
Ziad Elmarsafy
Ziad Elmarsafy presents close readings of the
work of the Egyptian Gamal Al-Ghitany, the Al-
gerian Taher Ouettar, and the Touareg Libyan
Ibrahim Al-Koni, all of whom have turned to
Sufsm as a literary strategy.
Arabic novelists are increasingly fnding a
source of literary innovation and political trans-
gression in the language and ideas of medieval
Suf thinkers and writers. More than a celebra-
tion of tradition or addition of local color, the
invocation of the Sufs in contemporary Arab
literature has become a way of posing dif-
cult questions about the literature, culture, and
politics of the contemporary Middle East and
North Africa.

Brett shows the full historical signifcance of
the empire.
Topics covered include:
The work of Ibn Khaldn
The relationship of tribal to civilian
economy and society
The formation and evolution of the

The relationship of the dynastic state to

Prisons in the Late
Ottoman Empire
Microcosms of Modernity
Kent Schull

BruTali TY.
Contrary to the stereotypical im-
ages of torture, narcotics, and
brutal sexual abuse tradition-
ally associated with Ottoman (or
Turkish) prisons, Kent Schull
argues that during the Second
Constitutional Period (1908
1918), they played a crucial role
in attempts to transform the em-
pire. It was within these prisons
that many pressing questions
of Ottoman modernity were
worked out, such as administra-
tive reform, centralization, Is-
lamic criminal law, punishment
and rehabilitation, issues of gen-
der and childhood, bureaucratic
professionalization,Ottoman
national identity, and social en-
gineering.

Postwar Anglophone
Lebanese Fiction
Home Matters in the
Diaspora
Syrine Hout
Syrine Hout shows how works
by Rabih Alameddine, Tony Ha-
nania, Rawi Hage, Nada Awar
Jarra, Patricia Sarrafan Ward,
and Nathalie Ab-Ezzi charac-
terise a distinctly new literary
and cultural trend. These texts
were been produced in and are
substantially about life in exile.
They deal not only with the bru-
tal civil strife in Lebanon (1975
1990) but with one of its crucial
and long-standing by-products:
expatriation.
In her exploration of their writ-
ings, Hout teases out the dif-
ferent meanings and reformu-
lations of home, be it Lebanon
as a nation, a house, a host
country, an irretrievable prewar
childhood, a state of in-between
dwelling, a portable state of
mind, or a utopian ideal.

Genealogy and
Knowledge in
Muslim Societies
Understanding the Past
Edited by Sarah Bowen
Savant and Elena de
Felipe Rodriguez
From the Prophets family tree
to the present, ideas about kin-
ship and descent have shaped
communal and national identi-
ties in Muslim societies. So an
understanding of genealogy
is therefore vital to our under-
standing of Muslim societies,
particularly with regard to the
generation, preservation, and
manipulation of genealogical
knowledge.
These case studies link genea-
logical knowledge to particu-
lar circumstances in which it
was created, circulated, and
promoted. They stress the
malleability of kinship and
memory and the interests this
malleability serves.

Islamic Banking and
Financial Crisis
Reputation, Stability and
Risks
Edited by Habib Ahmed,
Mehmet Asutay and
Rodney Wilson
Do Islamic fnancial institutions
perform better than their con-
ventional counterparts during
periods of fnancial stress? To
what extent do systems for man-
aging risk have to be adapted for
Islamic fnancial institutions,
given the unique characteristics
of their assets and liabilities and
the need for shariah compli-
ance? These issues have come
to prominence since the global
fnancial crisis of 20072008
and the subsequent recession.
They are addressed in this book,
which ofers an in-depth as-
sessment of how Islamic banks
weathered the fnancial crisis
and what lessons can be learnt.

Sunnis, Shiis and
the Architecture of
Coexistence
The Shrines of the Alids in
Medieval Syria
Stephennie Mulder
explores The relaTi on-
shi p BeTween sunni s and
shi i s as expressed i n The
shri nes of The ali ds.
Though the headlines of to-
days newspapers suggest that
the rift between Sunnis and
Shiis is eternal, the relation-
ship between these two primary
Islamic sects has not always
been contentious. This is most
evident around the shrines of
the Alids. Revered by Sunnis
and Shiis alike, shrines to the
Prophets family have often
served as unique spaces of inter-
sectarian exchange and shared
devotion. Stephennie Mulder
links the architecture and pa-
tronage of shrines to the wider,
pan-Islamic landscape of inter-
connected pilgrimage sites cre-
ated from these acts of patronage.

Muslims are making them-
selves noticed in the political
process of Europe. But what is
happening behind the sensa-
tional headlines? This collection
of essays looks at the processes
and realities, from voting pat-
terns in local and national as-
semblies to the tensions among
ethnic, political, and religious
identities.
These developments drive inter-
nal Muslim debates, including
whether Muslims should take
part in the democratic process
at all, and rivalries over who
should represent Muslims. They
also inspire sharp discussion in
Europe: how should European
states view the increasingly ac-
tive role of Muslims in the pub-
lic space? Does it signal integra-
tion or separation?

Challenging

Edited by Raymond Taras

In recent years, most main-
stream political leaders in Eu-
rope have discarded the term
multiculturalism and instead
express skepticism, criticism,
and even hostility toward mul-
ticultural ways of organizing
their societies, yet they are un-
prepared to reverse the diversity
existing in their states. These
contradictory choices have dif-
ferent political consequences in
the ten European countries ex-
amined in this book. The future
of European liberalism is being
played out as multicultural no-
tions of belonging, inclusion,
tolerance, and the national
home are brought into question.

Politics of Nostalgia
in the Arabic Novel
Nation-State, Modernity and
Tradition
Wen-chin Ouyang
The Arabic novel has taken
shape in the intercultural net-
works of exchange between
East and West, past and pres-
ent. Wen-chin Ouyang shows
how this has created a politics
of nostalgia that can be traced to
discourses on aesthetics, ethics,
and politics in the Arabic speak-
ing world in the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. She reveals
nostalgia and madness as the
tropes through which the Ara-
bic novel writes its own story of
grappling with and resisting the
hegemony of both the state and
cultural heritage.
The book explores the work
of novelists including Naguib
Mahfouz, Abd al-Khaliq al-
Rikabi, Jamal al-Ghitani, Ben
Salem Himmich, Ali Mubarak,
Adonis, Mahmoud Darwish,
and Nizar Qabbani.

Through close attention to what

For Oman, the idea of diplo-

countrys interactions in the

the way in which Omani life it-

practices of social and political
engagement that are essentially
diplomatic, grounded in ideals
of tact and tolerance that have
developed over a long historical
period. This book argues that
this culture is where Omans
contemporary foreign policy
has been nurtured and that it
is in this culture that a specifc
conception and practice of di-
plomacy has been developed. It
draws upon key research into
Omani religious and social tra-
ditions and ethnographic studies

A Cognitive Aesthetics of
Reading
Peter Stockwell
This book represents the latest
advance in cognitive poetics. It
builds feeling and embodied ex-
perience on to the insights into
meaningfulness which the cog-
nitive approach to literature has
achieved in recent years. Taking
key familiar concepts such as
characterisation, tone, empathy,
and identifcation, the book de-
scribes the natural experience
of literary reading in a thorough
and principled way. Accessibly
and informatively written, Tex-
ture draws on stylistics, psycho-
linguistics, critical theory and
neurology to explore the nature
of reading verbal art. The aim is
a new cognitive aesthetics of lit-
erature for its academic, student,
professional and natural readers.

A Historical
Phonology of
English
Donka Minkova
Phonological evolution is a
major component of the over-
all history of the language; the
subject matter is both signif-
cant on its own terms and rel-
evant in curricular terms. This
book describes the segmental
and prosodic changes in the
history of English, provides
analyses of these changes both
as phonological events and in
relation to the evolution of in-
terlocking aspects of earlier
English, and highlights the rel-
evance of the topicsand pos-
sibly generates further interest
by projecting historical phono-
logical change onto present-
day English and its varieties.
The development of the Eng-
lish sound system is probably
the best studied part of the his-
tory of the language; however
,no up-to-date, student-friend-
ly survey exists, and this book
will fll the gap.

Exploring canonical American
writers such as Ezra Pound, Er-
nest Hemingway, and William
Faulkner alongside less familiar
writers like Djuna Barnes and
Susan Glaspell, the guide takes
readers though a diverse literary
landscape. It considers how the
rise of the American metropo-
lis contributed to the growth of
American modernism and also
examines the ways in which
regional writers responded
to an accelerated American
modernity. Taking in African
American modernism, cultural
and geographical exile, as well
as developments in modern
American drama, the guide in-
troduces readers to current criti-
cal trends in modernist studies.
This book presents American
literary modernism as emerg-
ing from a broad intellectual
and philosophical landscape; it
extends the timeframe, defni-
tion, and intellectual param-
eters of American modernism;
and it provides close critical and
contextual analysis of more than
thirty American writers and key
texts, including Ernest Heming-
ways The Sun Also Rises, F. Scott
Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby,
Djuna Barness Nightwood, and
T. S. Eliots The Waste Land.

Susan Bernstein
Roomscape examines the Reading
Room of the British Museum as a
space of imaginative and histori-
cally generative potential in rela-
tion to the emergence of modern
women writers in Victorian and
early-twentieth-century London.
Drawing on archival materials
around this national library read-

study that integrates documen-
tary, theoretical, historical, and
literary sources to examine the
signifcance of this public interior
space for women writers and their
treatment of reading and writ-
ing spaces in literary texts. This
book challenges an assessment of
the Reading Room of the British
Museum as a bastion of class and
gender privilege, an image frmly
established by Virginia Woolfs
1929 A Room of Ones Own and
the legions of feminist scholarship
that upholds this spatial conceit.

Jennifer Higginbotham makes
a persuasive case for a paradigm
shift in our current conceptions
of the early-modern sex-gender
system. She challenges the wide-
spread assumption that the cat-
egory of the girl played little or
no role in the construction of gen-
der in early-modern English cul-
ture. And she demonstrates that
girl characters appeared in a va-
riety of texts, from female infants
in Shakespeares late romances
to little children in Tudor inter-
ludes to adult roaring girls in
city comedies. This monograph
provides the frst book-length
study of the way the literature and
drama of the sixteenth and seven-
teenth centuries constructed the
category of the girl.

Literature
A Cognitive Aesthetics of
Reading
Robbie McLaughlan
Although nineteenth-century
map makers imposed topograph-
ic defnition upon a perceived
geographical void, writers of Ad-
venture fction and other colonial
writers continued to nourish the
idea of a cartographic absence in
their work. This study explores
the efects of this epistemologi-
cal blankness in fn de sicle lit-
erature and its efect upon early
modernist culture, through the
emerging discipline of psycho-
analysis and the debt that Freud
owed to African exploration. As
Robbie McLaughlan demon-
strates, it was the late Victorian
best-seller that merged an ar-
cane Central African imagery
with an interest in psychic phe-
nomena.

to meeting Lenin, how the
Bolsheviks intervened in the
British public sphere, and how
cultural fgures such as Leon-
ard Woolf, H.G. Wells and T.S.
Eliot, debated the League and
the Revolution. Using Transna-
tionalism theory and the work
of Alain Badiou, Ayers demon-
strates how a new age of trans-
national politics began and gave
shape to the present.

Literature of the 1920s
Writers Among the Ruins
Volume 3
Chris Baldick
provi des a fresh and
comprehensi ve sTudY of
The vari eTY of wri Ti ng i n
The 1 920s .
By all accounts, the 1920s was
a fascinating literary period,
yet these accounts often dif-
fer widely in emphasis, and
rarely do full justice to the va-
riety of the periods writing or
the complexity of its culture.
Within this study, movements
and individuals are examined
against an era of rapid social
and cultural change - brought
on by factors such as the eman-
cipation of women; the rise of
mass culture; the advance of
technology; conficts of youth
and experience; and the gener-
al sense of exhaustion and cul-
tural collapse lingering since
the Great War. Chris Baldicks
volume ofers a fresh historical
focus, locating both signifcant
works and general trends in
their wider cultural and social
contexts.

Robert Stark argues that
Pound learned how to write
poetry more or less as if it
was a foreign tongueor po-
etic jargonwith a unique
lexicon, grammar, and even
morphology, and that his most
innovative poetry is the result
of his ambivalent orientation
toward diferent European lit-
erary traditions. Stark contex-
tualizes Pounds poetic craft
by examining his relationship
to the mediaeval and classical
originators of the methods he
employs and by considering
the practice and criticism of
his immediate Victorian and
romantic predecessors.

These ten new chapters stretch
and challenge current canoni-
cal confgurations of modern-
ism in two key ways: by con-
sidering the centrality of black
artists, writers, and intellectu-
als as key actors and core pres-
ences in the development of a
modernist avant-garde; and by
interrogating blackness as an
aesthetic and political category
at critical moments during the
twentieth century. This is the
frst book-length publication
to explore the term Afromod-
ernisms and the frst study to
address together the cognate
felds of modernism and the
black Atlantic.

The Three Perils of Man
James Hogg
Edited by Graham Tulloch and Judy King
one of hogg s longesT and also one of
hi s mosT ori gi nal and dari ng worKs.
Gillian Hughes uncovered the original manu-
script in the Fales Library of New York Univer-
sity in August 2001, allowing editors to pro-
duce here a text that refects Hoggs original
intentions. Alongside the two main plotsthe
supernatural located at Aikwood Castle and the
chivalric located at Roxburgh Castlea series
of embedded narratives provides the reader
with pictures of the traditional and timeless
world of rural life in which Hogg had grown
up and of early Scottish history. In this Edin-
burgh Edition, the name Sir Walter Scott, used
through most of the manuscript, is restored
along with passages excised from the manu-
script or omitted when the printed edition was
prepared. In several cases, Hoggs more dar-
ingly explicit language has been brought back
where the printed edition bowdlerized or sub-
dued the expression. The restoration of Wal-
ter Scotts name in particular makes explicit
how much this novel represents a challenge to
Scotts dominance in the portrayal of chivalry
and the Middle Ages in general.

Drawing on innovative research and schol-
arship that have revitalized the study of the
whole breadth of his remarkably diverse writ-
ing in recent years, this new companion looks
at Scotts place in literary and popular culture.
The contributors assess Scotts reaction to con-
temporaries such as Dugald Stewart and Adam
Ferguson, his experimentation and originality,
and his relationship to romanticism. They dis-
cuss all of his work, from his early lyrics and
poetry, such as The Lay of the Last Minstrel and
The Lady of the Lake, to the Waverley Novels,
right up to a revaluation of his later and lesser-
known works, such as Reliquiae Trotcosienses,
The Siege of Malta, and the unfnished Bizzaro.
They also draw on his journal and essays, in-
cluding Chivalry and Romance.

To Follow
The Wake of Jacques Derrida
Peggy Kamuf
collecTs Ten Years of
peggY Kamuf s wri Ti ng on
The worK and fri endshi p
of JacQues derri da.
The chapters trace a refec-
tion that undergoes the sudden
event of Derridas death. Rather
than take this interruption as its
premise, however, the book sets
out from Derridas own teach-
ing that mourning begins with
friendship and not just at the
death of the friend. Thus, the
strict chronology of the chapters,
from 2000 to 2010, highlights a
general illusion of before and
after that comes undone over
the course of the sequence.
Kamuf engages with a broad ar-
ray of his work, from the 1960s
to the posthumous publication of
his teaching seminars. She also
considers press interviews and
collaboration on a flm.

Veering
A Theory of Literature
Nicholas Royle
reflecTs on The fi gure
of veeri ng To form a new
TheorY of li TeraTure.
Contrary to a widespread
sense that literature has be-
come increasingly irrelevant
to our culture and everyday
life, Royle brilliantly traces a
strangely compelling literary
turn. Starting with an Adver-
tisement (which literally, of
course, means a turning to-
ward) like an eighteenth-cen-
tury novel, he explores images
of swerving, loss of control,
digressing, and deviating to
form this new theory of litera-
ture. Royles study ranges from
Montaigne to Stephen King,
from the dance of atoms in
Lucretius to the human veer
in Don DeLillo. With wit and
irony he investigates veer-
ing in the writings of Jonson,
Milton, Dryden, Wordsworth,
Coleridge, Melville, Hardy,
Proust, Lawrence, Bowen, J. H.
Prynne, and many others.

The Truth About

gui sed Thei r lacK of i n-

How is it that biographies of
Shakespeare can continue to ap-
pear when so little is known about
him and what is known has been
in the public domain for so long?
Why is it that a majority of the
biographies published in the last
decade have been written by dis-
tinguished Shakespeareans who
ought to know better? This book,
newly available in paperback, at-
tempts to solve this puzzle by ex-
amining the methods the biogra-
phers have used to hide their lack
of knowledge. At the same time,
by exploring eforts to write a life
of Shakespeare along traditional
lines, it asks what kind of animal
biography really is and how it
should be written.

Studies of the republican legacy
in recent years have argued for a
state that fosters a sense of invul-
nerability. Now, James Kuzners
new study of writing by Spenser,
Shakespeare, Marvell, and Mil-

as much what community has
to ofer as what it guards against.
At a time when almost any state
action can be justifed under the
guise of keeping citizens safe,
Open Subjects questions whether
vulnerability is really the evil we
think it to be.

Colony in the period from 1770 to

nation and colony were both
constituted and contested, this
book addresses current debates
about nationalism, colonialism

The relationship between the personal lives of
writers and the works they produce is at the heart
of this intriguing new study. In particular, it recon-
siders the place of John Middleton Murry (1889
1957) in the development of literary modernism
in Britain. Drawing on Murrys unpublished jour-
nals and long-forgotten novels, Circulating Genius
examines his signifcance as a circulator of ideas,
reputations, and critical positions in his roles of
editor, literary critic, novelist, friend, and lover and
complicates the arguments of earlier biographers
and critics about his relationshipsboth personal
and professionalwithKatherine Mansfeld and

creative responses of his contemporaries and
literary heirs, including William Wordsworth,
James Hogg, Thomas Dermody, Hugh MacDiar-

which Burns drew on Scottish vernacular tradi-

Modernist Literature
and Postcolonial
Studies
Rajeev Patke
This book provides a fresh ac-
count of modernist writing in
a perspective based on the read-
ing strategies developed by post-
colonial studies. Its basic argu-
ment is that neither modernity
nor colonalism (and likewise,
neither postmodernity nor post-
coloniality) can be properly un-
derstood without recognition of
their intertwined development.
It interprets modernity as an
asymmetrically global phenom-
enon complexly connected to
the course of Western imperi-
alism, and demonstrates how
Western modernism produced
new developments in writing
from all the former colonies of Eu-
rope and the United States. These
developments constitute the after-
life of Western modernism.

of Singapore.

Taking de Mans recently pub-

thirteen experts, signifcant

ary theory, revisit de Mans ac-
count of Rousseau and what he
calls a Theotropic Allegory
(the second to last step before
Political Allegory, on the road
toward a general theory of Tex-
tual Allegory). They frame de
Mans readings of Rousseau in
a post-theoretical landscape
concerned with political theol-
ogy, occupied with the transfor-
mation of the Western model
of sovereignty, and faced with
the apparent collapse of the
capitalist global contract. The
volume is framed by an intro-
duction by the leading de Man
scholar Martin McQuillan and
concludes with an original and
previously unpublished text by
Paul de Man.

England, 16401705

The fi rsT susTai ned i nves-
Ti gaTi on of earlY-modern
women s fri endshi p.
Penelope Andersons original
study changes our understand-
ing both of the masculine
Renaissance friendship tradi-
tion and of the private forms
of womens friendship of the
eighteenth century and after.
It uncovers the latent threat of
betrayal lurking within politi-
cized classical and humanist
friendship, showing its surpris-
ing resilience as a model for
political obligation undone and
remade. Incorporating authors
from Cicero to Abraham Cow-
ley and Margaret Cavendish to
Mary Astell, the book focuses
on two extraordinary women
writers, the royalist Katherine
Philips and the republican Lucy
Hutchinson. And it explores
the ways in which they appro-
priate the friendship tradition
in order to address problems of
conficting allegiances in the
English Civil Wars and Resto-
ration. As Penelope Anderson
suggests, their writings on
friendship provide a new ac-
count of womens relation to
public life, organized through
textual exchange rather than
bodily reproduction.

Why has a fascination with

study ofers the frst analysis
of contemporary popular and
literary fction, flm, TV and
art exhibitions about Nazis and
Nazism. Petra Rau brings this
material into dialogue with ear-
lier responses to fascism and
demonstrates how, paradoxical-
ly, Nazism has been both medi-
ated and mythologised to the
extent that it now often replaces
a critical engagement with ac-
tual, violent history.

Studying transatlantic spiritualist literature
from the mid-nineteenth to the early twenti-
eth centuries, Christine Ferguson focuses on
its incorporation and dissemination of biode-
terminist and eugenic thought. She asks why
ideas about rational reproduction, hereditary
determinism, and race improvement became
so important to spiritualist novelists, journal-
ists and biographers in this period. She also
examines how these concerns drove emerging
Spiritualist understandings of disability, intel-
ligence, crime, conception, the afterlife, and
aesthetic production. The book draws on rare
material, including articles and serialized fc-
tion from spiritualist periodicals such as Light,
The Two Worlds, and The Medium and Daybreak
as well as on spiritualist healing, parentage,
and sex manuals.

(18881923) in recent years has grown to the extent
that she is now perceived as the most emblematic
woman writer of her time. Mansfeld researchers
have been frequently frustrated by the lack of a com-
plete edition of her fction. There are several editions
of her stories in print, but these omit many pieces.
This Edinburgh edition of her stories, published to
coincide with the ninetieth anniversary of her death
in 1923, is a truly complete collection of the authors
fction writing.

Foucaults

David Webb
puTs THe ARcHAeoloGy oF
KNoWleDGe aT The hearT
of foucaulT s ThoughT.
David Webb reveals the extent
to which Foucaults approach
to language in The Archaeology
of Knowledge was infuenced
by the mathematical sciences,
adopting a mode of thought in-
debted to thinkers in the scien-
tifc and epistemological tradi-
tions. By aligning his thought
with the challenge to Kantian
philosophy from mathematics
and science in the latenine-
teenth and early twentieth cen-
turies, he shows how Foucault
established his own perspec-
tive on the future of critical
philosophy.

Deleuze and the
Non-West
Edited by Alex Taek-
Gwang Lee
i s deleuze a wesTern
phi losopher?
If Deleuzian thought belongs
to the tradition of Western phi-
losophy, in what sense does the
non-West regard Deleuze as a
philosopher? Since Descartes
discovery that the non-West
could think, Western philoso-
phy could no longer ignore the
presence of the non-West, a phil-
osophical otherness in reality.
Deleuze recognized the problem
of the non-West and suggested
a solution with the concept of
geophilosophy. This special is-
sue of Deleuze Studies includes
topics such as the non-Western
plane of immanence; the non-
Western reception of Deleuze;
Deleuze as a philosopher of non-
Western ethics; the translation
of Deleuze into non-Western
languages; and geophilosophi-
cal studies of Deleuze.

Deleuzes Difference

The essenTi al ToolKi T
for anYone approachi ng
deleuze for The fi rsT Ti me.
Students face two main hurdles
when approaching Diference
and Repetition: the wide range of
philosophical sources Deleuze
draws upon and the density of
his philosophical prose. Henry
Somers-Hall situates Deleuze
within the broader philosophi-
cal tradition and makes it clear
why he develops his philosophy
in the way that he does.
This book is written to be read
alongside Diference and Repetition.

Deleuzes Literary
Clinic
Criticism and the Politics of
Symptoms
Aidan Tynan
The fi rsT sTudY of
deleuze s cri Ti cal and
cli ni cal proJecT.
Aidan Tynan addresses De-
leuzes assertion that literature
is an enterprise of health. He
shows how a concern of health
and illness was a characteristic
of his philosophy as a whole,
from his earliest works to his
groundbreaking collaborations
with Guattari to his fnal, enig-
matic statements on life.
He explains why alcoholism,
anorexia, manic depression,
and schizophrenia are key con-
cepts in Deleuzes literary the-
ory and shows how, with the
turn to schizoanalysis, litera-
ture takes on a crucial political
and ethical role in helping us
to diagnose our present pathol-
ogies and articulate the possi-
bilities of a health to come.
aidan tynan received a Ph.D. from the
Centre for Critical and Cultural Theory
at Cardiff University.

Returning to
Revolution
Deleuze, Guattari, and Zapatismo
Thomas Nail
an accounT of The concepT
of revoluTion in The worK
of deleuze and guaTTari.
We are witnessing the return
of political revolution. But this
is not a return to the classical
forms of revolution: the cap-
ture of the state, the political
representation of the party, the
centrality of the proletariat, or
the leadership of the vanguard.
Rather, after the failure of such
tactics over the last century, rev-
olutionary strategy is now head-
ed in an entirely new direction.
Much has been written on De-
leuze and Guattaris political
philosophy in the last ffteen
years, but Returning to Revolu-
tion is the frst full-length work
to-date on their central concept
of revolution and its emergence
alonside the most infuential
revolutionary movement of the
twenty-frst century: Zapatismo.

In the frst volume of his His-

together the most infuential
theoretical account of sexuality
since Freud. Mark Kelly system-
atically unpacks the intricacies
of Foucaults dense and some-
times confusing exposition in a
straightforward way, putting it
in its historical and theoretical
context.
This is both a guide for the
reader new to the text and one
that ofers new insights to
those already familiar with Fou-
caults work. It provides a new
interpretation of The Will to
Knowledge, its structure, and its
philosophical signifcance and
revises several key mistransla-
tions in the only available Eng-
lish translation.

Global Solidarity

muni Ti es.
Solidarity has been a mo-
bilizing word since entering
the political vocabulary in the
mid-ninteenth century, and it
conjures images of united ac-
tion in pursuit of social justice.
Lawrence Wilde explores this
concept and raises the question
of whether solidarity among
strangers is a meaningful aspi-
ration in our globalizing age.
Wilde introduces the concept of
global solidarity and explains
how it relates to nationalism,
gender, religion, and culture.
Looking to the future, he ex-
plores the politics of global
solidarity and the conditions re-
quired for its development.

Rwanda and the

Joshua Kassner
whY The i nTernaTi onal

Kassner ofers a compelling
argument grounded in basic
rights that runs counter to the
accepted view on the moral na-
ture of humanitarian interven-
tion. His argument is based on
the claim that the violation of
the basic human rights of the
Rwandan Tutsis morally obliged
the international community
to intervene militarily to stop
the genocide.
The arguments presented by
the author have implications for
our understanding of the moral
nature of humanitarian military
intervention, global justice, and
the role moral principles should
play in the practical delibera-
tions of states.

In asking what international
law is for and what it should
be, students will engage with
the most crucial questions and
critical debates in international
politics today: the nature and
justice of humanitarian inter-
vention, the obligations that
the rich have towards the global
poor and the future of global
governance and international
legal structures.
Each chapter explores a central
issue in public international
law and IR theory, showing
how international law and nor-
mative political debate are en-
twined. The book introduces
the principles of international
law that relate to IR and poli-
tics, such as sovereignty and
global governance, sovereign
and diplomatic immunity, hu-
man rights, the use of force,
sanctions, and the domestic
impact of International law. It
explains how socioeconomic
and political factors shape the
formulation, development, and
operation of international law.

The Foreign Policy of
Lyndon B. Johnson
The United States and the
World, 19631969
Jonathan Colman
a Balanced overvi ew of
Johnson s poli ci es across
a range of TheaTers and
i ssues.
Lyndon B. Johnsons presidency
was characterized by domestic
successes and vilifed intera-
tional policies. He presided over
the advancement of civil rights
and educational reform while
escalating the disasterous war
in Vietnam.
Drawing on recently declassi-
fed documents and the latest
research, this fresh account
looks at Vietnam and beyond to
Johnsons relations with Europe,
NATO, and the rest of the world.
Colman contends that although
the war in Vietnam could have
been prosecuted more efec-
tively, overall Johnson dealt with
the world beyond the borders of
the United States very capably.

Aircraft were at the heart of
British supply diplomacy with
the United States in the Sec-
ond World War and were at
the forefront of the Roosevelt
administrations policy of aid-
ing the Anglo-French alliance
against Germany. They were
the largest item in British pur-
chasing in the United States in
1940, a key consideration in the
Lend-Lease of 1941, and a major
component of several wartime
conferences between Churchill
and Roosevelt.
Through a series of case stud-
ies, Gavin J. Bailey reveals new
details of how Britain used
American aircraft and inte-
grates this with broader Brit-
ish statecraft and strategy. He
challenges conceptions that
Britain was strategically reliant
on the United States and reveals
a complicated, asymmetrical
interdependency between the
wartime allies.

The Crisis of Social
Democracy in
Europe
An Introduction
Michael Keating and David
McCrone
Is social democracy in a termi-
nal condition in Europe?
Social democracy is in ofce
almost nowhere in Europe and
appears bereft of ideas in the
face of the economic crisis that
might have given it a historic
opportunity. While accepting
the truth of this, the contribu-
tors argue that social dem-
ocracy cannot be reduced to a
single set of ideas or practices
but represents a way of recon-
ciling market capitalism with
social inclusion and equality,
which has proven successful
during the twentieth century.
Its key principles are still rel-
evant but must be adapted to
new conditions. This book ex-
amines the fortunes of social
democracy in western and east-
central Europe and the policy
challenges in economic policy,
labor markets, social welfare,
public services, European inte-
gration, and decentralization.

Freedom from Past
Injustices
A Critical Evaluation
of Claims for Inter-
Generational Reparations
Nahshon Perez
Should contemporary citizens
provide material redress to right
past wrongs? There is a wide-
spread belief that contemporary
citizens should take responsibil-
ity for rectifying past wrongs.
Nahshon Perez challenges this
view, questioning attempts to
aggregate dead wrongdoers with
living people and examining
ideas of intergenerational collec-
tive responsibility with great sus-
picion. He distinguishes sharply
between those who are unjustly
enriched by past wrongs and
those who are not.

Post-War Planning
on the Periphery
Anglo-American Economic
Diplomacy in South
America, 19391945
Thomas C. Mills
Thomas C. Mills explores An-
glo-American relations in the
previously neglected region of
South America during the Sec-
ond World War to add a new di-
mension to our understanding
of the two powers. He shows
how these relations followed a
very diferent pattern from the
high-level discussions concern-
ing the economic shape of the
postwar world that were going
on at the same time. In this
way, he highlights the need for
a more nuanced understanding
of the broader process of Anglo-
American economic diplomacy.
Based on extensive archival re-
search and a thorough knowl-
edge of the secondary literature,
this is a major addition to the
study of Anglo-American rela-
tions in the twentieth century.

and National Identity
in Scotland
Murray Leith and Daniel
P. J. Soule
Murray Leith and Daniel P. J.
Soule explore the importance
of groups, concepts, and events
such as the SNP and devolu-
tion, unionism, the political
elite, political and public dis-
course, inclusion and exclu-
sion, enforced nationalism, and
birth, race, and citizenship to
nationalist feeling in Scotland.
The authors set the modernist
view of Scottish nationalism
against the work of Gellner,
Anderson, and Billig to create
their own mixed method of
evaluating nationalism.

Arguing that Arendts work is

of political theory: what it is, its
purposes and limits, and how it
is best undertaken.
Buckler discusses Arendts most

Lairds, Land and
Sustainability
Scottish Perspectives on
Upland Management
Edited by Jayne Glass,
Martin Price, Charles
Warren
Large estates cover vast areas
of mountain environment in
Scotland, with a deeply histori-
cal and unique tradition of land
ownership and land use. Over
the modern period, the use of
these lands by stakeholders
has developed into a forcing
ground for large-scale upland
management issues. This col-
lection of cutting-edge stud-
ies is a frst-to-press synthesis
of studies carried out by the
Centre for Mountain Studies
at Perth College, which will be
both enlightening and relevant
to upland managers across Brit-
ain and Europe. It will compare
fndings from privately owned
estates as well as those owned
by communities, charities, and
conservation groups. With the
Scottish government promot-
ing a vision of environmental
sustainability of land use and
rural communities, and all eyes
on the reform of land use and
ownership in Scotland, this
book will be extremely topical.

Xenophobia and
Islamophobia in
Europe
Raymond Taras
European anti-Muslim atti-
tudes: the voice of public protest
against out-of-touch elites? Are
anti-Muslim attitudes becom-
ing the specter that is haunt-
ing Europe? Is Islamophobia as
widespread and virulent as is
made out? Or do some EU so-
cieties appear more prejudiced
than others? And is there an
antielitest dimension to Euro-
peans protest about rapid de-
mographic change occurring
in their countries? This cross-
national analysis of Islamopho-
bia looks at these questions in
an innovative, even-handed
way, steering clear of politically
correct clichs and stereotypes.
It cautions that Islamophobia
is a serious threat to European
values and norms and must be
tackled by future immigration
and integration policy.

From Tartan to
Tartanry
Scottish Culture, History,
and Myth
Edited by Ian Brown
The role of tartan in Scottish
culture has been the subject of
some controversy over the years.
This critical re-evaluation of tar-
tan and tartanry draws together
contributions from leading
researchers, including Trevor
Royle, Alan Riach, and Mur-
ray Pittock. The book falls into
three major sections. The frst
considers the signifcance of
tartan in Scottish history and
culture during at least the last
four centuries, addressing tar-
tans role in the development
of diaspora identities in North
America. Parts 2 and 3 consider
the rise of tartanry in the repre-
sentation of Scottishness and its
place in a range of key cultural
phenomena of the last hundred
years, including popular theater,
literature, heritage, music, sport,
comedy, cinema, television, and
critical discourse.

Noble Power in
Scotland from the
Reformation to the
Revolution
Keith Brown
In this volume Brown builds
on his previous book, Noble So-
ciety in Scotland, to argue that
in spite of the changes brought
about by the Reformation, by
the recovery of crown authority,
and by the regal union between
England and Scotland, the huge
power exercised by the nobility
remained fundamentally unal-
tered. Hence, when political cri-
sis did surface in 16371638, the
crown lacked the means to op-
pose a noble-led revolution. No-
ble Power in Scotland discusses
the nobilitys political relation-
ship with the crown in chapters
at either end of this volume, tak-
ing the regal union of 1603 as
the crucial dividing point.

Many believe that the church
was largely mute on the wide-
spread poverty and deprivation
that accompanied the rapid
expanse of urban life in Scot-
land. This study shows that the
church was not lacking in com-
mitment to improving such con-
ditions through the example of
theologian Robert Flint and the
parish minister Frederick Lock-
hart Robertson. For example,
publication of Flints Christs
Kingdom upon Earth led the
Church of Scotland in Glasgow
to investigate slum housing con-
ditions and to the conclusion that
religion could not be complacent
about the need for social action.

Sir Henry Raeburn (17561823)
is especially well known in
Scotland as the portrait paint-
er of members of the Scottish
Enlightenment. However, out-
side Scotland, the artist rarely
makes more than a feeting ap-

portraiture. Ten international
scholars recover Raeburn from
his artistic isolation by looking
at his local and international re-
ception and reputation, both in
his lifetime and posthumously.
The book focuses as much on
Edinburgh and Scotland as on
metropolitan markets and cos-
mopolitan contexts. Previously
unpublished archival material
is brought to light for the frst
time, especially from the Innes
of Stow papers and the archives
of the dukes of Hamilton.

Renewal and
Revolution
The Chinese State in the
Global Age
Wang Gungwu
The Chinese state has been the
subject of ferce debates since
reformers and revolutionaries frst
fought to redefne it at the end of
the Qing dynasty. After the 1912
Revolution, when the idea of em-
pire gave way to that of nation-
state, the Chinese people sought
a modern identity, redesigned
their governance system, and re-
wrote their history. Revolution
(geming) became the source of the
legitimacy that the new leaders
defended in a world based on state
sovereignty. They soon found the
task of reconciling their republic
with the political culture they in-
herited extraordinarily difcult.
They now sense that their state
is neither an empire nor a nation-
state and seek to renew the Chi-
nese state through a civilization
of industry and science fused with
the best of their heritage.
wang gungwu is an eminent historian
of China and a pioneering authority in
the study of the Chinese diaspora.

The West as the
Other
A Genealogy of Chinese
Occidentalism
Mingming Wang
In this groundbreaking book,
Wang explores a fascinating per-
spective of the Other. He chal-
lenges an extensive number of
critical studies of Orientalist nar-
ratives (chiefly including Edward
Saids Orientalism) by locating
the Other in the alternating
directionologies of classical and
imperial China. In particular, he
challenges the assumption that
the Other must be understood in
the way that has been explained
in general anthropology, which
crucially underlines the European
foundations that have shaped its
traditional interpretations. Most
significantly, the author offers a
fundamental reimagining of the
concept of the Other that both
contrasts with and enriches the
standard representation of this
concept, with critical implications
for anthropology.
mingming wang is a leading human
scientist in post-Mao China and is profes-
sor of anthropology at Peking University.

The Lost Generation
The Rustification of Chinese
Youth (19681980)
Michel Bonnin
The Lost Generation is a vital com-
ponent to understanding Mao-
ism. The book provides a com-
prehensive account of the critical
movement during which seven-
teen million young educated
city dwellers were supposed to
transform themselves into peas-
ants, potentially for life. Bonnin
closely examines the Chinese
leaderships motivations and the
methods that they used over time
to implement their objectives,
as well as the day-to-day lives of
those young people in the coun-
tryside, their difculties, their
doubts, their resistance, and, ul-
timately, their revolt. The author
draws on a rich and diverse ar-
ray of sources, concluding with
a comprehensive assessment of
the movement that shaped an
entire generation, including a
majority of todays cultural, eco-
nomic, and political elite.

This volume frst explores the
transformation of Chinese Dao-

through the writings of promi-

it then launches an in-depth
investigation into the Daoist di-
mensions of the Chinese narra-

Stone: the inscriptions of Quan-

ture of its religious framework;
the ideological ramifcations of
the Daoist concepts of chaos, pu-
rity, and the natural; as well as
the Daoist images of the gourd,

onstrates in an insightful man-
ner the central position of Daoist
philosophy both in the ideologi-
cal structure of the Stone and the

Ethics Unbound
Some Chinese and Western
Perspectives on Morality
Katrin Froese
This book closely examines
texts from Chinese and West-
ern traditions that hold up eth-
ics as the inviolable ground of
human existence, as well as
those that regard ethics with
suspicion. The negative notion
of morality contends that be-
cause ethics cannot be divorced
from questions of belonging
and identity, there is a danger
that it can be nudged into the
domain of the unethical since
ethical virtues can become
properties to be possessed
with which the recognition of
others is solicited. Ethics thus
fosters the very egoism it hopes
to transcend, and risks exclud-
ing the unfamiliar and the
stranger. The author argues in-
spirationally that the unethical
underbelly of ethics must be
recognized in order to ensure
that it remains vibrant.

Growing Your Own
Food in Hong Kong
Arthur van Langenberg
With an increasing awareness
of what they eat and the prove-
nance of their food, people now-
adays often raise such questions
as where does the food come
from? How is it produced? This
concern over food ingredients
and origins has resulted in a
burgeoning interest in growing
ones own food, both for the sat-
isfaction in having done it and
for the assurance of food qual-
ity and safety. But how to grow
ones own food in the midst of
an urban metropolis? How to
do it without a real garden?
This book points the way, espe-
cially for beginners and those
who may only have a balcony
or a rooftop and are limited to
growing in containers. It is not
just about gardening in a narrow
sense. The book sends a strong
environmental message for a
reevaluation of modern lifestyle.
arthur van langenberg is a surgeon
with a passion for gardening.

Principals Bosses
Incumbents, Patronage,
and Intra-Party Politics in
Argentina and Turkey
Ozge Kemahlioglu
Clientelism in public employ-
mentthe practice of ofering
jobs in return for political fa-
vors to a party or politicianis
a problem from the perspec-
tives of equality, democratic
accountability, and economic
efciency. Focusing on intra-
party competition, this book
presents an original explana-
tion of why some politicians
and parties engage more ex-
tensively in such practices than
others. Examining Argentina
and Turkey in a period of eco-
nomic restructuring, the au-
thor argues that patronage jobs
are distributed hierarchically to
the politicians circle within the
party. Consequently, the distri-
bution of patronage is afected
by competition for party leader-
ship. Analysis of original statis-
tical and case-study data at the
subnational level confrms that
clientelistic practices are infu-
enced by party characteristics.

professor in the Faculty of Arts and

A Political Sociology
of Europe
Niilo Kauppi
This volume presents a series
of cutting-edge, theoretically
ambitious studies in political
sociology that deal with some
of the major challenges Euro-
pean societies and politics are
facing. Revisiting the study of
traditional objects of political
science such as state sovereign-
ty, civil society, and citizen-
ship, these studies combine
sophisticated empirical analy-
ses with methodological and
conceptual innovations such
as feld theory, multiple cor-
respondence analysis, and the
study of space sets. Combining
qualitative and quantitative re-
search techniques and macro-
and micro-levels, they have in
common a contextual analysis
of politics through scrutiny of
confgurations of groups, rep-
resentations, and perceptions.
A transnational perspective
that avoids methodological na-
tionalism is present in all the
studies of this volume.
niilo kauppi is research professor

Research (CNRS, France) and associ-
ate director of the Center for European
Political Sociology at the University of

ogy and social theory at Sciences Po

Civil Society and
Communism
Reconceptualising Dissent in
Communist Eastern Europe
Matt Killingsworth
As well as promoting debates
about liberal democracy, the
dramatic events of 1989 bought
forth a powerful revival in the
interest of the notion of civil so-
ciety. This revival was refected
mainly in two broad tracts of lit-
erature. The frst was primarily
focused on the events surround-
ing the Solidarity movement
in Poland and the tumultuous
events of 19801981. The second
was concerned with the Velvet
Revolutions more broadly. Fol-
lowing the events of 1989, there
appeared a number of works
sharing the common central ar-
gument that civil society played
a key role in the overthrow of these
communist regimes in 1989.
Challenging the centrally ac-
cepted wisdom that dissent in
totalitarian regimes was repre-
sentative of civil society, Civil So-
ciety and Communism posits the
argument that the totalitarian
public sphere, a new theoretical
typology, presents a more robust
and rigorous way by which to
understand dissent and opposi-
tion in totalitarian Czechoslova-
kia, Poland, and the GDR.

Practices of
Inter-Parliamentary
Coordination in

The European Union and
Beyond
Ben Crum and John Erik
Fossum
A growing number of political
decisions are taken at the inter-
national level, many of which
have profound national political
implications. What is the role of
parliaments here? Are they be-
coming sidelined or reasserting
themselves? This book investi-
gates how an internationalizing
context drives parliamentarians
to coordinate their work with col-
leagues in other parliaments and
how this coordination can help
them to strengthen their position.
Furthermore, the book seeks to
clarify the broader implications of
inter-parliamentary coordination
for the practice and the theory of
democracy. The book also con-
tains chapters that compare the
EU experience with parliamen-
tary coordination in other inter-
national organizations, such as
NATO and the WTO.

Hans Kelsen and the Case for
Democracy is a contextual
analysis of Kelsenian political
thought. Usually, commenta-
tors reduce Kelsens work to
his theory of law and under-
estimate or simply ignore his
refections on democracy. The
great strength of Kelsens po-
litical thinking lies in the argu-
ments that it musters against
the critics who condemn or
debunk the institutions of par-
liamentary democracies.

Is Democracy a Lost
Cause?
Paradoxes of the Imperfect
Invention
Alfio Mastropaolo
According to enlightened and
popular belief, democracy is
the most perfect and virtu-
ous regime that human beings
ever devised. This book seeks
to evaluate democracy as one of
many technologies for exercis-
ing power. Democracy and the
noble principles inspiring it are
a technology particularly suited
to governing modern and post-
modern societies, and although
it certainly is an extraordinary
invention, democracy deserves
to be evaluated on a realistic and
pragmatic level. Mastropaolo
adopts a historical perspective of
a political sociologist to describe
the transformations undergone
by democratic regimes during
the last half century. Since the
end of the Second World War,
despite the apparent continu-
ity of their forms, two types of
democratic regime, and two very
diferent ways of thinking about
democracy, have succeeded each
other. So much more than a
success story, the government of
the people, by the people, and for
the people, is a puzzle still wait-
ing to be solved.
alfio mastropaolo teaches politi-
cal science at the University of Turin.
His works include: Antipolitica, Alle
origini della crisi italiana (2000) and La
mucca pazza della democrazia, Nuove
destre, populismo, antipolitica (2005).

Regulation in
Practice
The de facto Independence of
Regulatory Agencies
Martino Maggetti
This book develops and ap-
plies an inventive theoretical
approach to the comparative
study of the neglected aspect of
the real (or de facto) indepen-
dence of regulatory agencies.
The book begins with an ex-
amination of the organisational
and institutional factors shaping
the de facto independence of
regulatory agencies in West-
ern Europe. There follows an
analysis of the role of indepen-
dent regulatory agencies in the
policy-making process, using
de facto independence as an
explanatory variable. The fnal
section is devoted to the rela-
tionship between regulatory
agencies and the news media.
In the conclusive discussion, the
author also tackles a set of nor-
mative questions, which relates
to the virtues and perils of inde-
pendence.

The Legislative
Organisation of the
European Parliament
The Role of the Committee
Nikoleta Yordanova
The recent empowerment
of the European Parliament
makes timely this study of the
impact of its internal organi-
zation on legislative politics,
interest representation, and
democracy in the European
Union. Using data on all leg-
islators and legislative propos-
als in the sixth parliamentary
term, the book confronts al-
ternative theories of legisla-
tive organisation in rigorous
statistical analyses supported
by rich interview informa-
tion. The fndings indicate
that the internal setup and
legislative output of the parlia-
mentary committees serve the

Seats, Votes, and the
Spatial Organization
of Elections
G. Gudgin and P. J. Taylor
This study assesses Kelsenian
democratic theory by exploring
three questions: First, how is
Kelsens political theory inter-
twined with his legal theory?
Second, how does Kelsen com-
bine his refections on the dem-
ocratic ideal with his apprecia-
tion of a reality that more often
than not is quite distant from
that ideal? Third, how does
Kelsen, a positivist, perceive the
problem of the sources of the
states cohesion in a republic?
This new edition of this classic
volume includes a new intro-
duction from Ron Johnstone of
the University of Bristol.

The Problem of Equivalence
Jan W. van Deth
The complications of using similar concepts
in diferent situations are well known to every-
one in comparative politics. This volume faces
the problems of comparability and equivalence
head on and indicates practical ways they can be
tackled. Each contribution focuses on a theoret-
ically relevant theme, such as tolerance, politi-
cal values, religious orientation, gender roles,
voluntary associations, party organizations,
party positions, democratic regimes, and the
mass media. The chapters cover diferent ap-
proaches, methods, data, and countries, mak-
ing use of widely available empirical research to
illustrate the gains of fnding equivalent mea-
sures in realistic research settings. Many of the
strategies show how the complicated search for
comparability and equivalence uncovers sub-
stantial additional information in comparative
politics. Dealing with these problems can en-
hance the quality and reliability of any research.
This new edition of the classic frst published
in 1998 contains a new introduction by the au-
thor, defning the texts relevance and context
for a new generation of political scientists.

The European Generation
The ERASMUS Exchange Program and Its
Implications for European Integration
Emmanuel Sigalas
This book looks at ERASMUS, the largest stu-
dent exchange program in Europe, and its af-
fect on the building of a common European
identity. Since 1987 the EU has been funding
ERASMUS to promote mobility in Europe
and through it a common European iden-
tity. The idea was that young Europeans who
spend part of their studies in other European
countries will gradually abandon the limita-
tions of a parochial national identity in favour
of a cosmopolitan Europeanism. Even though
ERASMUS has been hailed as a success sto-
ry by the European Commission, and so far
more than two million students have spent
part of their studies abroad, the programmes
actual contribution to the development of a
European identity has never been assessed
empirically. This book aims to address this
important gap in our understanding by escort-
ing the reader on an intellectual journey start-
ing from the lack of we-feeling, the common
denominator of past and present EU problems,
to cross-border mobility and the potential that
ERASMUS can be a remedy for these issues.
dr. emmanuel sigalas is assistant professor of European
Politics at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Vienna.
Previously, he worked as postdoctoral research fellow
at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. He has published
articles or chapters on the ERASMUS program, the
European party federations, the members of the European
Parliament, and the EU space policy.

Just Democracy
Philippe Van Parijs
Philippe Van Parijs is one of the
worlds leading political philos-
ophers. In this book, he argues
that the purpose of democracy
should be to promote justice
we need not just democracy
(in the sense of unqualifed
democracy) but a just democ-
racy. Machiavelli and Rawls
must be brought together. In a
series of provocative and timely
essays, he explores what creat-
ing such a just democratic po-
litical system would involve in
order to tackle such issues as
intergenerational justice, mul-
ticulturalism, and linguistic
diversity. He illustrates his ar-
guments with examples drawn
from the European Union and
his native Belgium.
philippe van parijs holds doctorates
in philosophy (Oxford) and the social
sciences (Louvain). He is professor at
the Universit of Louvain, where he
directs the Hoover Chair of Economic
and Social Ethics since its creation
in 1991. He has been a regular visit-
ing professor at Harvard University
and at the University of Leuven. His
books include Evolutionary Explanation
in the Social Sciences (1981), Marxism
Recycled (1993), Real Freedom for
All (1995), Whats Wrong with a Free
Lunch? (2000), and Linguistic Justice
for Europe and for the World (2011).

how participatory institutions
can encourage personal involve-
ment by creating the procedural
and social conditions conducive
to the formation of a competent
and involved citizenry.

Deliberative
Mini-Publics
Practices, Promises, Pitfalls
Edited by Kimmo
Grnlund, Andr
Bchtiger, and Maija
Setl
This book takes stock of
the wide range of practices
of deliberative mini-publics.
More concretely, it takes an
informed look at preconditions,
processes, and outcomes, and it
provides a critical assessment
of the performance of mini-
publics, in particular (the lack
of) policy impact. The book
brings together leading schol-
ars in the feld, most notably
James S. Fishkin and Mark E.
Warren, and is aimed at stu-
dents and scholars with an in-
terest in democracy and demo-
cratic innovations. This is the
frst comprehensive account of
the booming practice of delib-
erative mini-publics. Not only
does it provide the reader with
a systematic review of the vari-
ety of mini-publics, it also dis-
cusses their weaknesses and
makes recommendations on
how to make mini-publics a vi-
able component of democracy.

Policy Making in
Multilevel Systems
Edited by Andr Kaiser,
Annika Hennl, and Jan
Biela
So far, we know relatively little
about the efects of diferent
varieties of the territorial or-
ganization of politics on policy
making and policy outputs.
Starting from the hypothesis
that decentralized policy mak-
ing has positive efects where-
as federalism has a slightly
negative efect on policy per-
formance, this book systemati-
cally tests the independent and
interdependent efects of dif-
ferent combinations of federal/
unitary and decentralized/cen-
tralized structures of decision
making and implementation.
Based on a mixed-methods de-
sign, it frst quantitatively tests
the relationships for the OECD
countries in cross-sectional
as well as panel designs. In a
second step, qualitative case
studies are conducted for four
countries: federal-centralized
Austria, federal-decentralized
Switzerland, unitary-decen-
tralized Denmark, and uni-
tary-centralized Ireland.

From Szlachta Culture to the
Twenty-frst Century, Between
East and West. New Essays on
Joseph Conrads Polishness
Conrad: Eastern and Western Perspectives, Vol. XXii
Edited by Wiesaw Krajka
The volume opens with an appreciation of
Conrads Polishness by Jerzy Buzek, the presi-
dent of the European Parliament. The frst
section provides new illuminations of Polish-
ness in Conrads personality and oeuvre: from
the szlachta cultural heritage of his ancestors
and Polish contextualizations of Prince Ro-
man through aspects of the writers identity
and references to Polish culture and autobio-
graphical elements in his works to their Pol-
ish translations and reception. The Eastern-
Western frame for these studies is provided by
insights into relations of his literary works
to Russian literature (Dostoevsky, Turgenev)
and their reception in Ukraine and Germany.
The essays represent various methodological
approaches to studies in biography, histori-
cal-cultural contextualizations of literature,
fact-and-fction relationships, history of ideas,
literary reception (documented surveys, trans-
lative and creative reception), and comparative
literary criticism.
wiesaw krajka is a professor in the English Department
at Maria CurieSkodowska University in Lublin, Poland. He
is editor of the Conrad: Eastern and Western Perspectives
series published by East European Monographs and the

The Long Road to Victory
A History of Czechoslovak Exile
Organizations After 1968
Francis D. Raka
A continuation of his earlier work on Czecho-
slovak exile organizations, Fighting Commu-
nism from Afar: The Council of Free Czechoslo-
vakia, this volume focuses on the activities
of exile organizations after 1968. The author
examines a substantial collection of personal
letters, memoranda, letters to government of-
fcials, and journals published by organizations
from archives in the Czech Republic, Italy, the
United Kingdom, and the United States, as well
as interviews with surviving members and
functionaries of these organizations. The ma-
terial illustrates the hardships, illusions, and
disappointments of individuals who worked
relentlessly for the restoration of civil rights
and democracy in Czechoslovakia and to end
the Soviet occupation of the country. These ef-
forts were hampered by a lack of interest on the
part of Western democracies for whom peace-
ful coexistence with the Soviet Union and its
satellites was of paramount importance.

Csaba Bks revisits the origins
of the Cold War, the German

He argues that the ongoing d-
tente process lasted from 1953
until 1991. He also introduces
a novel typology for the crises
of the Cold War, distinguish-
ing real and pseudocrises, ex-
plaining that some of the most
spectacular crises of the era, in-
cluding the Hungarian revolu-
tion of 1956, were in reality not
genuine East-West conficts.

A History of Austrian Avant-garde Cinema

The unique contribution of Austrian avant-garde flm to
world cinema is widely acknowledged. This is the frst
book in English dedicated to its historical and aesthetic
evolution. The expansive introductory essay by the editor
provides a detailed overview of avant-garde flm produc-
tion in Austria, followed by twenty contributions from
international flm scholars who engage with the work of
individual flmmakers. Beginning with the pioneers of
independent flmmaking in postwar Austria, the book

Olivier Assayas
Edited by Kent Jones
Over the past few decades, French flmmaker
Olivier Assayas has become a powerful force in
contemporary cinema. Between his frst feature
Dsordre (1986) and such major works as Irma
Vep, Les Destines Sentimentales, demonlover, and,
most recently, Summer Hours and Carlos, he has
charted an exciting path, strongly embracing nar-
rative and character and simultaneously dealing
with the fragmentary reality of life in a global
economy. He also brought a fresh perspective to
the problem of politics after 1968, a subject that
he revisits in his memoir, A Post-May Adolescence
(published as a companion book to this volume)
and in his upcoming flm, Aprs Mai.
This is the frst English-language book about
Assayas. Its central element is a major essay by
Kent Jones, based on his two decades of corre-
spondence and exchange of ideas with the flm-
maker. In addition, all of Assayass flms will be
looked at individually by other writers, including
Geofrey OBrien, Greil Marcus, Glenn Kenny,
Michael Koresky, and Kristin Jones.
kent jones is an internationally recognized writer and
filmmaker based in New York. He has authored several
books on international cinema, including LArgent and
Physical Evidence. His films include Val Lewton: The Man in
the Shadows, and A Letter to Elia (co-directed with Martin
Scorsese). He is editor at large at Film Comment magazine
and the executive director of the World Cinema Foundation.

A Post-May Adolescence
Letter to Alice Debord
Olivier Assayas
Translated, annotated, and with an introduction by
Adrian Martin
Olivier Assayas is best known as a flmmaker, but
cinema makes only a late appearance in his A
Post-May Adolescence. This book is an account of
a personal formation, an initiation into a certain
way of seeing the world and living within it; it is,
equally, the record of youthful struggle and con-
fusion. Like Greil Marcuss famous study Lipstick
Traces, Assayass refective memoir covers, and
compares two special moments of revolt in recent
history: May 1968 in France and the mid-1970s
apparition of punk in the U.K. The movement of
thought and creation known as Situationism pro-
vides the golden thread connecting and, in part,
inspiring these events. A Post-May Adolescence
was frst published in French, in 2005. Translated
by Adrian Martin, it is now ofered as a compan-
ion book to the frst English-language monograph
on Assayass body of work (also published by the
Austrian Film Museum and distributed by CUP).
olivier assayas is one of the most widely celebrated
filmmakers working today. He began his career as a critic
at the legendary Cahiers du Cinma in Paris and has since
published several books on the cinema. His new film, Aprs
Mai (Something in the Air) is closely related to the present
memoir and will be released in late 2012.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
James Rose
No-one who has ever seen the original The Tex-
as Chain Saw Massacre (1974) is ever likely to
forget the experience. An intense fever dream
(or nightmare), it is remarkable for its sense
of sustained threat and depiction of an insane
but nonetheless (dys)functional family on the
furthest reaches of society who have regressed
to cannibalism in the face of economic hard-
ship. As well as providing a summary of the
making of the flm, James Rose discusses the
extraordinary censorship history of the flm in
the U.K. (essentially banned for two decades)
and provides a detailed textual analysis of the
flm with particular reference to the concept of
the Uncanny. He also situates the flm in the
context of horror flm criticism (the Final Girl
character) and discusses its infuence and sub-
sequent sequels and remakes.
james rose is the author of Beyond Hammer and Studying
The Devils Backbone (both Auteur, 2009).

The Silence of the Lambs
Barry Forshaw
The 1991 flm The Silence of the Lambs, based
on Thomas Harriss bestseller, was a game
changer in the felds of both horror and crime
cinema. FBI trainee Clarice Starling was a new
kind of heroine, vulnerable, intuitive, and in a
deeply unhealthy relationship with her mon-
strous helper/opponent, the serial killer Hanni-
bal Lecter. Jonathan Demmes flm skillfully
appropriated the tropes of police procedural,
gothic melodrama, and contemporary horror
and produced something entirely new. The re-
sulting flm was both critically acclaimed and
massively popular and went on to have an enor-
mous infuence on 1990s genre cinema. Crime
and horror authority Barry Forshaw closely ex-
amines the factors that contributed to the flms
impact, including the revelatory performances
of Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins in the
lead roles.
barry forshaw is a London-based critic and author,
most recently, of Death in a Cold Climate (Palgrave
Macmillan, 2012).

Studying Indian Cinema
Omar Ahmed
This book is traces the historical evolution of
Indian cinema through a number of key de-
cades. The book is made up of fourteen chap-
ters with each chapter focusing on one key
flm, the chosen flms analysed in their wider
social, political, and historical context while a
concerted engagement with various ideologi-
cal strands that underpin each flm is also evi-
dent. In addition to exploring the flms in their
wider contexts, the author analyses selected se-
quences through the conceptual framework
common to both flm and media studies. This
includes a consideration of narrative, genre, rep-
resentation, audience, and mise-en-scene. The
case studies run chronologically from Awaara
(The Vagabond, 1951) to The Elements Trilogy:
Water (2005) and include flms by such key fg-
ures as Satyajit Ray (The Lonely Wife), Ritwick
Ghatak (Cloud Capped Star), Yash Chopra (The
Wall), and Mira Nair (Salaam Bombay!).
omar ahmed is head of flm studies at Aquinas College in
Manchester, U.K.

Studying Early and Silent
Cinema
Keith Withall
In this accessible introduction to early and si-
lent cinema, which are currently enjoying a re-
naissance, both academically and in the popular
imagination thanks to The Artist, Keith Withall
provides both a comprehensive chronology of
the period until the birth of sound and also a
series of detailed case studies on the key flms
from the periodsome well known (including
Grifths The Birth of a Nation, Eisensteins
Strike, and Chaplins The Kid), some perhaps
less familiar (including Murnaus The Last
Laugh and Oscar Micheauxs Within Our Gates).
As well as covering in detail the major flm-
making fgures and nations of the period, the
author also provides insights into the industry
in less well documented areas. Throughout, the
flms and flmmakers are placed in the context
of rapid worldwide industrial change. (Please
note this book is a revised and expanded ver-
sion of Early and Silent Cinema: A Teachers
Guide, published by Auteur in 2007.)
keith withall is a U.K.-based film studies teacher and
writer specialising in early and silent cinema.
