    Keywords: Electronic books
    Abstract: Are Indian women powerful mother goddesses, or domestic handmaidens trailing behind men in literacy, wages, opportunities, and rights? Have they been agents of their own destinies, or voiceless victims of patriarchy? Behind these colorful over-simplifications lies the reality of many feminine personas belonging to various classes, ethnicities, religions, and castes. This two-volume set looks at Indian history from ancient to modern times, revealing precisely why ideas of gender rights were not static across eras or regions. Raman's work is a reflection on the various ways in which women in a

    Abstract: For at least 20,000 years, masking has been a mark of cultural evolution and an indication of magical-religious sophistication in society. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the mask as a powerful cultural phenomenon--a means by which human groupings attempted to communicate their dignity and sense of purpose, as well as establish a continuum between the natural and supernatural worlds. It addresses the distinctive environments within which masks flourished, and analyzes the mask as a manifestation of art, ethnology and anthropology

    Abstract: In Fathering through Sport and Leisure , an underrepresented and highly topical area of social study is examined. This is a book about fathers, and how we can understand fathers and their fathering practices better if we examine the role of sport and leisure in their relationships with their children and their partners. The author's clear and interdisciplinary approach makes this volume an invaluable resource for undergraduates and scholars in the fields of leisure studies, family studies, sociology of the family, and the sociology of sport

    Abstract: Das spätmittelalterliche Mediterraneum war geprägt von komplexen Gesellschaften mit einem hohen Grad kultureller Heterogenität. Menschen mit unterschiedlichen ethnischen, religiösen und linguistischen Hintergründen lebten zum Teil schon seit Generationen, zum Teil erst kurzfristig mit- oder nebeneinander und kamen auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen miteinander in Kontakt. Die Erforschung dieser spätmittelalterlichen mediterranen "hotspots" kultureller Diversität verspricht wichtige Erkenntnisse über die Konstruktion von sozialen und kulturellen Identitäten und über die integrativen und desintegrativen Prozesse in komplexen pluralen Gesellschaften. Dieser international und interdisziplinär zusammengestellte Sammelband behandelt Aspekte interkultureller Kommunikation, wie sie in Architektur, Bildkunst, Handwerksproduktion und Schrifttum reflektiert werden, untersucht die Genese hybrider Kunstformen sowie Kulturpraktiken und fragt nach der Rolle und Selbstverortung spezifischer Personen und Korporationen in interkulturellen Kontaktsituationen.

    Abstract: African American Women's Language: Discourse, Education, and Identity is a groundbreaking collection of research on African American Women's Language that is long overdue. It brings together a range of research including variationist, autoethnography, phenomenological, ethnographic, and critical. The authors come from a variety of disciplines (e.g., Sociology, African American Studies, Africana Studies, Linguistics, Sociophonetics, Sociolinguistics, Anthropology, Literacy, Education, English, Ecological Literature, Film, Hip Hop, Language Variation), scientific paradigms (e.g., critical race theory, narrative, interaction, discursive, variationist, post-structural, and post-positive perspectives), and inquiry methods (e.g., quantitative, qualitative, ethnographic, and multimethod) while addressing a variety of African American female populations (e.g., elementary school, middle school, adults) and activity settings (e.g., classrooms, family, community, church, film). Readers will get a good sense of the language, discourse, identity, community, and grammar of African American women. The essays provide the most current research on African American Women's Language and expand a literature that has too often only focused on male populations at the expense of letting the sistas speak.

    Abstract: "But we can still rise now", runs a line of Scotland's unofficial national anthem Flower of Scotland, "and be the nation again" who defeated the English King Edward II in 1314 at the Battle of Bannockburn. These short lines tell us much about the concept of the nation. Firstly, the pronoun of the nation is "we". Secondly, nationhood remains aspirational for some, while it is entirely taken-for-granted for others. Thirdly, nations often trace their origins back to an implausibly dim and distant past. Finally, it points to the fundamentally discursive nature of the nation: the nation appears not as something which simply is, but as something which can be, called into existence through talk, official documents, official and unofficial national anthems, ceremonies and parades, monuments and statuary, press coverage and, increasingly, television.This book, which arose out of a conference held in Tarragona in 2007, focuses on the complex discourses of the nation to be found in the television systems of twelve different countries, examining how these circulate in fiction, in news and documentary (including re-enactment formats), and in entertainment programmes, adverts and the coverage of large-scale sporting events. The nation which emerges is everywhere and nowhere, talked about endlessly but never finally grasped, repeatedly staged and re-enacted but lacking a foundational script. In short, it is a site of struggle. The stakes are high, since the nation when mobilised is a force to be reckoned with, and the on-going attempts to define it are many, varied and often highly creative. This book details many such events, from the high drama of war reporting to the self-mocking irony of ten-second commercial spots.

    Keywords: Anti-racism ; Electronic books
    Abstract: This book explores the global development of contemporary racism and uncovers the complex manifestations and causes of racism. It critically draws upon and analyses the global economic and the legislative frameworks relating to racism. The boundaries of racism continue to shift and the authors critically analyse new developments in racism and unpack the points of intersection between the new and the old racisms. The impacts of factors such as fear, politics, the use of the "race card", and nationalism are also explored. The book examines the changing dynamics of racism, manifesting itself in different spatial, economic and social situations but demonstrating similarities and differences in a globalized world. In light of these complexities, the book examines the challenges of theorizing, identifying, and challenging racism, as well as the challenges of developing an anti-racist future.

    Abstract: "Privilege and Prejudice: Twenty Years with the Invisible Knapsack" explores various areas of contemporary American culture where sexism and racism still leave an indelible print. In 1988, Peggy McIntosh published her groundbreaking essay "White Privilege and Male Privilege," an examination of white privilege and its role in perpetuating racism. Twenty years later, these seven essays reveal problems that persist even in systems that are ostensibly trying to address problems of inequality. Beginning with a foreword by McIntosh on our society's resistance to confronting privilege, this text then delves into a variety of fields. In the first section, on higher education, Simona Hill, Lucien Winegar, Juanita Johnson-Bailey and Ronald Cervero contribute two essays examining racism in the academy, while Donna Axel explores the stigma in law school alternative application processes. The next section interrogates privilege and its effects on females' choices, with Kyla Bender-Baird questioning global contraception policies and Mary Carney giving a historical overview to contextualize persistent gender inequities in computer technology. Media studies and stereotypes are considered in the final section, in which Janice Stapley analyzes children's birthday cards for gender bias and Ellen Miller critiques male dance films. This text would be useful for social science and humanities scholars of all types with its explorations of the continuing ramifications of race, gender, class, and their intersections.

    Keywords: Electronic books
    Abstract: The MC5's 1969 live album Kick Out the Jams was a new measure of the relationship between music and cultural and political change. As the ""house band"" and central organizing force for the White Panther Party, which advocated an end to capitalism and supported the Black Panther Party's initiatives and aims, the MC5 formalized the threat, promise, and parity of music within larger societal spheres. Using the band's career as a case study in evaluating the relationship between rock music and social change, this book examines how the inherent rebelliousness of rock afforded both media producers

    Abstract: Many years ago, the storytellers say, the great King Arthur brought justice to England with the help of his gallant Knights of the Round Table. Of these worthy knights, there was never one so fearless, so chivalrous, so honorable, so…shiny as the dashing Sir Lancelot, who was quite good at defending the helpless and protecting the weak, just as long as he'd had his afternoon nap. Behold the very exciting and very funny adventures of Lancelot the Great, as only acclaimed Arthurian author Gerald Morris can tell them.

    Abstract: Thousands of books have examined the effects of parents on their children. In All Joy and No Fun, award-winning journalist Jennifer Senior now asks: what are the effects of children on their parents? In All Joy and No Fun, award-winning journalist Jennifer Senior tries to tackle this question, isolating and analyzing the many ways in which children reshape their parents' lives, whether it's their marriages, their jobs, their habits, their hobbies, their friendships, or their internal senses of self. She argues that changes in the last half century have radically altered the roles of today's mothers and fathers, making their mandates at once more complex and far less clear. Recruiting from a wide variety of sources-in history, sociology, economics, psychology, philosophy, and anthropology-she dissects both the timeless strains of parenting and the ones that are brand new, and then brings her research to life in the homes of ordinary parents around the country. The result is an unforgettable series of family portraits, starting with parents of young children and progressing to parents of teens. Through lively and accessible storytelling, Senior follows these mothers and fathers as they wrestle with some of parenthood's deepest vexations-and luxuriate in some of its finest rewards. Meticulously researched yet imbued with emotional intelligence, All Joy and No Fun makes us reconsider some of our culture's most basic beliefs about parenthood, all while illuminating the profound ways children deepen and add purpose to our lives. By focusing on parenthood, rather than parenting, the book is original and essential reading for mothers and fathers of today-and tomorrow.

Because it provides overviews of theory along with concrete examples of politics and textual / content analyses of multiple cultural productions across media, it is ideal for courses that seek to be relevant to contemporary changes in popular culture, particularly in view of post-9/11 developments in identity politics and domestic and foreign policy

    Abstract: Fashion is bound up with promoting the 'new', concerned with constantly changing aesthetics. The favoured styles or looks of a season arise out of the work of a vast range of different actors who collectively produce, select, distribute and promote the new ideals, before moving on to next season. How, then, are fashionable commodities stabilized long enough for them to be selected, distributed and sold? Since there are few studies that actually examine the work that goes on inside the world of fashion, we know little about these processes. This book addresses this gap in our knowledge by exami

    Abstract: Focusing on an isolated community in central Australia, this highly-readable examination presents insights into the cultural underpinnings of indigenous daily life through evocative narratives revolving around five Warlpiri women. The seemingly contradictory realities of a distant hunter-gatherer past and current life in a first-world nation-state are addressed as this refreshing study answers questions about the specifics of camps, sleeping arrangements, public and private boundaries, and how indigenous people in praxis relate to each other. This analysis illuminates the personal, utilizing rich vignettes and narrative portraits to expand understandings of indigenous Australia.

    Abstract: Seit nunmehr über dreißig Jahren erleben die Golfstaaten, und als einer unter ihnen die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate (VAE), einen immensen Wirtschaftsaufschwung durch Einnahmen aus dem Ölsektor. Die Einnahmen wurden unter der Federführung von Scheich Zayed, dem großen Vater des Landes, in den Aufbau von Infrastruktur investiert. Die damit verbundenen Bautätigkeiten, allem voran in Dubai, schufen einen riesigen Bedarf an qualifizierten und unqualifizierten Arbeitskräften, welcher nicht aus den Reihen der eigenen Bevölkerung gedeckt werden konnte. So warb die emiratische Regierung die benötigten Arbeiter in arabischen und ostasiatischen Nachbarregionen an. Anfangs noch durch arabische Migranten geprägt, wurde diese Wanderungsbewegung bald von Arbeitsmigranten aus Ostasien und speziell aus Indien dominiert. Heute sind die VAE mit rund 85% Gastarbeiteranteil das Land mit der höchsten Migrantenquote weltweit. Die Untersuchung der Entwicklung von Arbeitsmigration aus Indien in die VAE steht im Mittelpunkt der vorliegenden Studie. Diese Untersuchung einer beeindruckenden Wanderungsbewegung beschäftigt sich mit Fragen der Migrationsmotivation, den Migrationsvoraussetzungen, der Bedeutung sozialer Netzwerke für die Migration, der Anwerbung durch Arbeitsvermittlungsagenten und den relevanten gesetzlichen Bestimmungen sowohl in den VAE als auch in Indien. Ein zentraler Untersuchungsgegenstand sind die Rahmenbedingungen, die zur Entstehung hunderttausender illegaler Arbeitskräfte in den VAE führten. Zusätzlich werden die wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Folgen, welche die getätigten Rücküberweisungen der Migranten auf das Heimatland Indien, speziell den Bundesstaat Kerala, haben, beleuchtet. Für die vorliegende Studie wurden indische Migranten vor Ort (Dubai) mittels eines Fragebogens zu ihrer Situation und Migrationsgeschichte befragt. Außerdem wurden Experteninterviews z.B. mit Mitarbeitern des indischen Konsulats und dem Arbeitsministerium in Dubai geführt.

    Abstract: Cultural life in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) was strictly controlled by the ruling party, the SED, who attempted to dictate how people spent their free time by prohibiting privately organized leisure time pursuits and offering instead cultural activities in state institutions and organizations. By exploring the nature of dictatorial rule in the GDR and analysing the population's engagement with state-organized cultural activity, this book challenges the current assumptions about the GDR's social and institutional history that ignore the interaction and inter-dependence between 'rulers' and 'ruled'. The author argues that the people's cultural life in the GDR developed a dynamic of its own; it was determined by their own interests and by the input of cultural functionaries, who often aimed to satisfy popular demands, even if they were at odds with the SED's cultural policy. Gradually, these developments affected SED cultural policy, which in the 1960s became less focused on educationalist goals and increasingly oriented towards popular interests.
