    Abstract: Immigrant integration has become a prominent issue in contemporary political debates and public policy analysis. The objective of facilitating newcomers' participation in the economic, social, and political life of receiving societies presents particular challenges in federal countries. The multidimensional nature of immigrant integration means that policies and programs often become issues of multilevel governance. In federations with one or more national minorities, newcomers can alter the linguistic balance and affect subnational communities' efforts to obtain greater autonomy.

Spatial Social Thought reimagines the social sciences as a place of encounter between all spatially bound, parochial knowledge systems

    Abstract: "The globalization of food consumption has often been equated with the loss of culinary traditions and the homogenization of cuisines. By contrast, the anthropologists, historians and sociologists contributing to this collection reveal both rapid changes and also profound and sometimes surprising continuities in local food consumption practices in the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and use these to shed light on shifting social boundaries and cultural identities. The volume combines ethnographic, historical and comparative analyses, situating local practices of eating, cooking and sharing food within transnational processes and contexts. In so doing, the volume celebrates and furthers approaches developed in Jack Goody's seminal 1982 book, Cooking, Cuisine and Class: A Study in Comparative Sociology. With studies of China, India, West Africa, South America and Europe, the book provides a truly global perspective on the social dynamics of food consumption in the modern world"--

    Abstract: Presenting a communicational perspective on the British empire in India during the 20th century, the book seeks to examine how, and explain why, British proconsuls, civil servants and even the monarch George V, as well as Indian nationalists, interacted with the media, primarily British and American, and with what consequences.
    Abstract: Presenting a communicational perspective on the British empire in India during the 20th century, the book seeks to examine how, and explain why, British proconsuls, civil servants and even the monarch George V, as well as Indian nationalists, interacted with the media, primarily British and American, and with what consequences, Over the course of the twentieth century, the British Raj successfully combined military force and coercion, with modern methods of persuasion, publicity and media manipulation - imperial public relations - in its strategies to engage with the increasingly challenging task of governing its Indian empire. This book focuses on the media environment of empire as a conceptual tool to investigate its political culture and role in shaping the imperial experience. The British national press, Reuters, the BBC, US newspapers and international news agencies such as the Associated Press and the United Press, as well as the Indian media, had a seminal role to play in this process. The interaction of imperial and media cultures is undertaken through in-depth case studies utilising hitherto unseen primary sources and examining the grand pageant of the Coronation Durbar 1911, Gandhian strategies of mass civil disobedience during the 1930s, the new technological revolution of broadcasting and the birth of All India Radio, as well as the endgame of empire and decolonisation in 1947

This passage?which some environmentalists and religious scholars treat as a?green" creation myth?drives H.H.

    Abstract: Slavery is not a crime confined to the far reaches of history. It is an injustice that continues to entrap twenty-seven million people across the globe. Laura Murphy offers close to forty survivor narratives from Cambodia, Ghana, Lebanon, Macedonia, Mexico, Russia, Thailand, Ukraine, and the United States, detailing the horrors of a system that forces people to work without pay and against their will, under the threat of violence, with little or no means of escape. Representing a variety of circumstances in diverse contexts, these survivors are the Frederick Douglasses, Sojourner Truths

    Abstract: This collection explores how the Capability Approach (CA) can be 'brought out of the realm of ideas' to the 'realm of policy and practice'. Despite its undeniable contributions, one of the critiques against the CA is the difficulty of its application. How can human capabilities be articulated and promoted in practice? Is the CA applicable in the Global South and the Global North? What are some of the challenges encountered in its application and how can they be addressed? The authors seek to answer these research questions, making an important analytical and empirical contribution to the CA and its application. Through a series of case studies from the Global North (France, Germany and the UK) and the Global South (India, Egypt, Brazil, Ghana and Mongolia), they provide useful insights not only into the different ways and contexts in which the CA can be applied, but also into the various challenges that are encountered during these applications and the means to overcome these challenges. The volume is a valuable resource for researchers, graduate students, practitioners and academics alike. It bridges the gap between development theory and practice by explaining the importance of CA applications and the contributions these can make to the refinement of the approach itself

Western civilization has long understood this dilemma as a question of toleration, yet the logic of toleration and the logic of multicultural rights entrenchment are two very different things.In this volume, contributors suggest we also think beyond toleration to mutual respect, practiced before the creation of modern multiculturalism in the West.

    Abstract: The Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi (369?286 B.C.E.) encountered a skull that later in a dream praises the pleasures of death over the toil of living.

These philosophers turned the skull into a skeleton, a metonym for death and a symbol of the refusal of enlightenment. Popular throughout the Ming dynasty (1368?1644) and reenvisioned by the fiction writer Lu Xun (1881?1936), the legend echoes transformations in Chinese philosophy and culture. The first book

    Abstract: The Poetic Organization explores the inherent aspects of organization that revolve around poetic processes. This book is a commentary on poetic elements in organization that are critical to developmental areas of organizations, yet poetics are rarely given the attention deserved, The Poetic Organization explores the inherent aspects of organization that focuses on poetic processes. The term 'poetics' refers to a wider definition aligned with a philosophical perspective, in which poetics emerges as a phenomenal aspect of being. This book is a commentary on poetic elements in organization that are critical to developmental areas of organizations, yet poetics is rarely given the attention it deserves. However elusive the poetic element is, it still manages to flow through organizational spaces in material and nonmaterial ways. Although many studies have been done on poetics from a number of different angles, very few studies specifically focus on the implicit aspects and how these take place. This book provides academics, students and researchers with a poetic perspective on academic research, which can revitalize studies in the field. The reader is taken on a poetic journey in which organizational members and practices are viewed in a new light
    Abstract: "Alexandra Pitsis has written a wonderful book that is remarkable both for its ambition and creativity. Skillfully weaving together philosophy, social science, and literary theory, she opens us to the implicit poetics of organizations as well as giving us a new means through which to research the lived realities of social existence. A great achievement." Carl Rhodes, Professor of Management, University of Leicester, UK. "Pitsis shows how important a part poetics plays in organizational life. This testifies to the impressive degree of the originality and creativity in Pitsis' work, and I am hopeful that fellow organizational scholars will dare to pick up these methodological tools in further exploring the poetics of organizational life.' Torkild Thanem, Professor of Management and Organization Studies, Stockholm Business School, Sweden
