    Abstract: What is the role of social media on fundamental change in Arab countries in the Middle East and North Africa? Online Arab Spring responds to this question, considering five countries: Egypt, Libya, Jordan, Yemen, and Tunisia, along with additional examples. The book asks why the penetration rate for social media differs in different countries: are psychological and social factors at play? Each chapter considers national identity, the legitimacy crisis, social capital, information and media literacy, and socialization. Religious attitudes are introduced as a key factor in social media, with Arabic countries in the Middle East and North Africa being characterized by Islamic trends. The insight gained will be helpful for analysing online social media effects internationally, and predicting future movements in a social context. provides innovative interdisciplinary research, incorporating media studies, cultural aspects, identity and psychology presents a detailed study of factors such as national heritage, cultural homogeneity, belief system and consumer ethnocentrism focuses on religious attitudes in the context of online media.

    Abstract: The Western Balkan countries have been both a popular subject matter for diachronic analysis and a 1990s favorite. The significant changes that followed the most recent times of conflict in the region mostly evolve around the process of Europeanization. Despite the plethora of analyses, most approaches to the Western Balkans suffer from theoretical stagnancy, ex parte political practice, and detachment of politics from societal needs. This volume is the work of a team of theorists and practitioners who attempt a multidisciplinary approach to Western Balkans reality. An Agenda for the Western Balkans offers a critical view on issues that have been over-analyzed in mainstream terms and opens a discussion that will occupy researchers and practitioners for years to come. It addresses novel topics and engages in innovative approaches that cut across disciplines of social sciences (political science, international relations, sociology, historiography, geography, political economy) and levels of analysis (local, national, regional, European, global). This collection is a pioneer theoretical and practical guide towards a sustainable future for the Western Balkans.

    Abstract: The focus of the book is on different ways of knowing: the western scientific way (reductionist, dualistic and materialist) versus the indigenous approach (holistic, non-dualistic, and spiritual). It discusses both science and medicine in the context of the challenges experienced in introducing science and medicine into Africa through imperialism, colonization, and globalization. It looks at selected indigenous African paradigms, the dominant western paradigms, and the practitioners that represent these practices. The book deals with questions concerning compatibility and incompatibility of different ways of knowing and delves into epistemological stances, and the assumptions underlying these epistemologies. The volume investigates whether, and how a person can accommodate different epistemologies, and the nature of such accommodations.

    Abstract: Family-related migration is moving to the center of political debates on migration, integration, and multiculturalism in Europe. Still, strands of academic research on family migrations and migrant families remain separate from-and sometimes ignorant of-each other. This volume seeks to bridge the disciplinary divide. Collectively, the authors address the need to better understand the diversity of family-related migration and its resulting family forms and practices, to question simplistic assumptions about migrant families in public discourse, to study family migration from a mix of disciplinary perspectives, and to acknowledge the state's role in shaping family-related migration, practices, and lives.

    Abstract: A companion to Andrew F. Smith's 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 America's diverse and complex beverage scene. Smith revisits the country's major historical momentscolonization, the American Revolution, the Whiskey Rebellion, the temperance movement, Prohibition, and its repealand he tracks the growth of the American beverage industry throughout the world. The result is an intoxicating encounter with an often overlooked aspect of American culture and global influence. Americans have invented, adopted, modified, and commercialized tens of thousands of beverageswhether alcoholic or nonalcoholic, carbonated or caffeinated, warm or frozen, watery or thick, spicy or sweet. These include uncommon cocktails, varieties of coffee and milk, and such iconic creations as Welch's Grape Juice, Coca-Cola, root beer, and Kool-Aid. Involved in their creation and promotion were entrepreneurs and environmentalists, bartenders and bottlers, politicians and lobbyists, organized and unorganized criminals, teetotalers and drunks, German and Italian immigrants, savvy advertisers and gullible consumers, prohibitionists and medical professionals, and everyday Americans in love with their brew. Smith weaves a wild history full of surprising stories and explanations for such classic slogans as taxation with and without representation;" the lips that touch wine will never touch mine;" and rum, Romanism, and rebellion." He reintroduces readers to Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and the colorful John Chapman (Johnny Appleseed), and he rediscovers America's vast literary and cultural engagement with beverages and their relationship to politics, identity, and health.

    Abstract: The Naqab Bedouin and Colonialism brings together new scholarship to challenge perceived paradigms, often dominated by orientalist, modernist or developmentalist assumptions on the Naqab Bedouin. The past decade has witnessed a change in both the wider knowledge production on, and political profile of, the Naqab Bedouin. This book addresses this change by firstly, endeavouring to overcome the historic isolation of Naqab Bedouin studies from the rest of Palestine studies by situating, studying and analyzing their predicaments firmly within the contemporary context of Israeli settler-colonial policies. Secondly, it strives to de-colonise research and advocacy on the Naqab Bedouin, by, for example, reclaiming 'indigenous' knowledge and terminology. Offering not only a nuanced description and analysis of Naqab Bedouin agency and activism, but also trying to draw broader conclusion as to the functioning of settler-colonial power structures as well as to the politics of research in such a context, this book is essential reading for students and researchers with an interest in Postcolonial Studies, Development Studies, Israel/Palestine Studies and the contemporary Middle East more broadly.

    Abstract: Entrepreneurship can be read as a cultural and economic phenomenon. In recent times, gender has become an increasing influence on entrepreneurship. This groundbreaking new study considers both gender and entrepreneurship as symbolic forms, looking at their diverse patterns and social representation. Presenting an ethnographic study of the gender structuring of entrepreneurship, this work employs three strategies: A critical survey of gender studies which argues that entrepreneurship is a cultural model of masculinity that obstructs the expression of other models; 'Reflexive' ethnographic observation conducted in five small firms which describes how business cultures are 'gendered' and how gender is the product of a social practice; An analysis of how discursive and narrative practices in business cultures constitute gender and entrepreneurship.

    Abstract: Sex Scene suggests that what we have come to understand as the sexual revolution of the late 1960s and early 1970s was actually a media revolution. In lively essays, the contributors examine a range of mass media-film and television, recorded sound, and publishing-that provide evidence of the circulation of sex in the public sphere, from the mainstream to the fringe. They discuss art films such as I am Curious (Yellow), mainstream movies including Midnight Cowboy, sexploitation films such as Mantis in Lace, the emergence of erotic film festivals and of gay pornography, the use of multimedia in sex education, and the sexual innuendo of The Love Boat. Scholars of cultural studies, history, and media studies, the contributors bring shared concerns to their diverse topics. They highlight the increasingly fluid divide between public and private, the rise of consumer and therapeutic cultures, and the relationship between identity politics and individual rights. The provocative surveys and case studies in this nuanced cultural history reframe the "sexual revolution" as the mass sexualization of our mediated world.Contributors.

Defying state and federal law, she voted in the presidential election of 1872, and was arrested and tried in a case presided over by a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Ward Hunt, who directed the jury to deliver a guilty verdict.

    Abstract: Have men really been engaged in a centuries-old conspiracy to exploit and oppress women? Have the essential differences between men and women really been erased? Have men now become unnecessary? Are they good for anything at all? In Is There Anything Good About Men?, Roy Baumeister offers provocative answers to these and many other questions about the current state of manhood in America. Baumeister argues that relations between men and women are now and have always been more cooperative than antagonistic, that men and women are different in basic ways, and that successful cultures capitalize on these differences to outperform rival cultures. Amongst our ancestors---as with many other species--only the alpha males were able to reproduce, leading them to take more risks and to exhibit more aggressive and protective behaviors than women, whose evolutionary strategies required a different set of behaviors. Whereas women favor and excel at one-to-one intimate relationships, men compete with one another and build larger organizations and social networks from which culture grows. But cultures in turn exploit men by insisting that their role is to achieve and produce, to provide for others, and if necessary to sacrifice themselves. Baumeister shows that while men have greatly benefited from the culture they have created, they have also suffered because of it. Men may dominate the upper echelons of business and politics, but far more men than women die in work-related accidents, are incarcerated, or are killed in battle--facts nearly always left out of current gender debates. Engagingly written, brilliantly argued, and based on evidence from a wide range of disciplines, Is There Anything Good About Men? offers a new and far more balanced view of gender relations.

    Abstract: Mit der Einführung des AFG 1969 wurde die aktive Arbeitsmarktpolitik in Deutschland nicht nur als Instrument des Marktausgleichs kodifiziert, sondern diese als ein ‚emanzipatorisches Projekt' in den sozialpolitischen Kontext der Bundesrepublik eingeführt. Seitdem hat sie - in mehreren Etappen - einen tief greifenden Gestaltwandel erfahren, bis hin zur jüngsten Revision ihres Instrumentariums und ihrer Leistungsseite. In 24 Kapiteln bietet dieser Band eine Analyse der Grundprinzipien der deutschen Arbeitsmarktpolitik, analysiert die einzelnen Teilbereiche unter dem Aspekt einer veränderten Grundlogik, hinterfragt die veränderten Steuerungslogiken und die Rolle der beteiligten Akteure und thematisiert Herausforderungen, auf die die Arbeitsmarktpolitik zukünftig reagieren muss.

    Series Statement: Political Power and Social Theory v.26
    DDC: 306.20972999999998
    Abstract: Is the United States in decline? If so, what are the causes and dimensions of that decline and is it irreversible? Will American decline be accompanied by the rise of a new hegemon? To what extent are that rise and decline merely concurrent processes, determined by forces internal to each polity, or are American decline and the rise of its competitors both manifestations of a single global dynamic? The essays in this volume address those questions by examining the rise of finance in the U.S. and worldwide, the U.S. government's actual industrial strategy, China's failure so far to challenge the dollar's status as the world reserve currency, and the contradictions in American strategic doctrine as the Pentagon responds to failures in recent wars and to China's growing power. Two articles address the restructuring of politics in the U.S since the 1960s to explain governmental paralysis and the simultaneous disorganization and political success of corporate elites. This volume concludes with a comparison of U.S. decline and that of its once superpower rival, the Soviet Union. The contributors to this volume clarify our understanding of the current state and future trajectory of the United States and the effect of decline on its citizens and the world.

    Abstract: Carlos Waisman has pinpointed the specific beliefs that led the Peronists unwittingly to transform their country from a relatively prosperous land of recent settlement, like Australia and Canada, to an impoverished and underdeveloped society resembling the rest of Latin America. Originally published in 1987. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

    Abstract: The significant changes in early modern German marriage practices included many unions that violated some taboo. That taboo could be theological and involve the marriage of monks and nuns, or refer to social misalliances as when commoners and princes (or princesses) wed. Equally transgressive were unions that crossed religious boundaries, such as marriages between Catholics and Protestants, those that violated ethnic or racial barriers, and those that broke kin-related rules. Taking as a point of departure Martin Luther's redefinition of marriage, the contributors to this volume spin out the multiple ways that the Reformers' attempts to simplify and clarify marriage affected education, philosophy, literature, high politics, diplomacy, and law. Ranging from the Reformation, through the ages of confessionalization, to the Enlightenment, Mixed Matches addresses the historical complexity of the socio-cultural institution of marriage.

    Abstract: In Battle for Peace frankly documents Du Bois's experiences following his attempts to mobilize Americans against the emerging conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. A victim of McCarthyism, Du Bois endured a humiliating trial-he was later acquitted-and faced political persecution for over a decade. Part autobiography and part political statement, In Battle for Peace remains today a powerful analysis of race in America. With a series introduction by editor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and an introduction by Manning Marable, this edition is essential for anyone interested in African American history.

    DDC: 304.82
    Abstract: Concerns about immigration and the rising visibility of minorities have triggered a lively scholarly debate on the consequences of ethnic diversity for trust, cooperation, and other aspects of social cohesion. In this accessibly written volume, leading scholars explore where, when, and why ethnic diversity affects social cohesion by way of analyses covering the major European immigration countries, as well as the United States and Canada. They explore the merits of competing theoretical accounts and give rare insights into the underlying mechanisms through which diversity affects social cohesion. The volume offers a nuanced picture of the topic by explicitly exploring the conditions under which ethnic diversity affects the 'glue' that holds societies together. With its interdisciplinary perspective and contributions by sociologists, political scientists, social psychologists, as well as economists, the book offers the most comprehensive analysis of the link between ethnic diversity and social cohesion that is currently available.

    Abstract: Die politische Medienberichterstattung hat Auswirkungen auf das Wahlverhalten der Öffentlichkeit. In dem Film „Wag the Dog" wird ein Krieg gegen Albanien medial inszeniert, um die Öffentlichkeit von einem Medienskandal abzulenken und die Wiederwahl des Präsidenten zu gewinnen. Inwieweit eine solch glaubhafte Inszenierung auch in der Realität möglich ist, soll durch den Vergleich mit theoretischen Aspekten und ‚realen' Geschehnissen in der US-politischen Geschichte untersucht werden. Zu diesem Zweck wird im ersten Teil dieses Buches das Forschungsfeld der politischen Kommunikation betrachtet:Dabei werden die Kommunikationsaktivitäten politischer Organisationen und Medien in der politischen Kommunikation erörtert. Die sich bedingende Wechselbeziehung zwischen Politik und Medien ist sowohl durch beiderseitigen Vorteil, als auch durch gegenseitige Abhängigkeit und Instrumentalisierung gekennzeichnet. Anschließend wir die mediale Konstruktion der Wirklichkeit thematisiert. Die gezielte Medienberichterstattung, welche u.a. durch Nachrichtenfaktoren, Issue Management, Schlüsselereignisse, Agenda-Setting, politischem Priming und Skandalisierungen gesteuert wird, aktiviert bestimmte Vorstellungen beim Rezipienten. Die Wahrheit hat in dieser Form der politischen Kommunikation ihren Anspruch als Bezugsgröße verloren. Anschließend werden Politik und Medien in den USA thematisiert. Diese zeichnen sich insbesondere durch die Political Consultants bzw. Spin Doctors und deren Bedeutung für die US-Politiker, als auch durch den enormen ökonomischen Erfolgsdruck der Medien aus. Die Thesen des US-amerikanischen Wahlkampfs zum Präsidenten, der Wahlkampfkommunikation sowie der Wahlkampffinanzierung werden anhand der US-Wahlkämpfe aus den Jahren 1996 und 2004 exemplarisch untermauert.Im zweiten Teil des Buches wird die ausführliche Filmanalyse der politischen Satire...
    Abstract: „Wag the Dog" vorgenommen. Nach der Auflistung der allgemeinen Daten zum Film, werden mit der Narrationsanalyse der Handlungsverlauf und die politische Satire erklärt. Die Bauanalyse gibt grundlegende Informationen zu Einstellungsgrößen, Kamerabewegungen, Filmton, Filmschnitt sowie der Interpretation symbolischer Filmelemente. In der Figurenanalyse wird zwischen Medienmachern, politischen Figuren und der Öffentlichkeit unterschieden. Unter den Aspekten Wahlwerbung, Strategie der politischen Berater und Medienberichterstatter wird der politische Wahlkampf im Film aufgezeigt. Am Ende wird der Filmtitel „Wag the Dog" interpretiert. Aus dem Film lässt sich die folgende Frage ableiten: Kann es durch die manipulative Darstellung des Wahlkampfes in den USA zu einer Inszenierung eines fiktiven Krieges, so wie im Film „Wag the Dog", kommen?Um diese zu beantworten, werden im abschließenden Teil des Buches Parallelen zwischen „Wag the Dog", theoretischen Erläuterungen sowie der US-amerikanischen Politik bzw. Medienrealität aufgezeigt. Die Ergebnisse sind erschreckend und spannend zugleich. Auszug aus dem TextTextprobe:Kapitel 3, Mediale Konstruktion der Wirklichkeit:3.1, Realismus vs. Konstruktivismus:Unsere Wirklichkeit und unser Verhalten werden durch Begriffe und Worte verändert (Glaser 1999, S. 108). Durch die Medien können bestimmte Begriffe schnell und überall verbreitet werden. Die häufige Aussage 'Medien konstruieren die Wirklichkeit' wird insbesondere im Forschungsgebiet des Konstruktivismus untersucht. Die Medienwirklichkeit wird für den Zuschauer als Realität konstitutiv (Hickethier 2003, S. 32). Der Konstruktivismus der Medienrealität löst die Theorie des Realismus ab (Weber 2002, S. 2, S. 7):Konstruktivität ist [...] ein konkreter Trend, der eingebettet zu denken wäre in andere Makro-Trends der Medialisierung, wie etwa Entertainisierung,
    Abstract: Fiktionalisierung, Beschleunigung, Kommerzialisierung/Ökonomisierung u. a. Geoutete Fälschungen wie Kujaus Hitler-Tagebücher , Michael Borns Spielfilm-Fakes oder Tom Kummers fingierte Interviews unter dem Label 'Faction-Journalismus' sind freilich nur die Spitze des Eisbergs im Rahmen eines Trends zu mehr und mehr Konstruktivität.' (Weber 2002, S. 8).Weber zeigt mit seiner Kritik, dass das Thema des Konstruktivismus mit der immer weiter reichenden Durchdringung von Journalismus und Unterhaltung im 'Zeitalter von Info-, Edu- und neuerdings eben auch Militainment, von Real-Life-Soaps und Doku-Dramen, von Faction-Journalismus und Extrem-TV' (Ebd., S. 9) zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnt.Im o.g. Fall von Michael Born, der zahlreiche Dokumentarfilme mit Hilfe von Laienschauspielern fälschte, verteidigte sich dieser im Prozess mit der folgenden Aussage: 'Ich soll für die anderen gehängt werden. [Bei Magazinsendungen werden Dinge verlangt], die nicht machbar sind.' (siehe Artikel in der Rhein-Zeitung 2008). Es kann angenommen werden, dass der Kampf um TV-Quoten und Aufträge den Journalisten zu diesen Fälschungen getrieben haben.Weber beweist (1996, S. 142-149), dass die Medien konstruktivistisch geprägt sind: Als erstes sei nicht mehr die Vermittlung von Wahrheit zentral, sondern es stehe die Emotionalität und das Erzeugen von Gefühlen im Mittelpunkt. Zudem bewirke die Orientierung der Journalisten am Profit, dass hohe Auflagen und Einschaltquoten von großem Interesse sind. Um schneller zu arbeiten, orientieren sich Medien zunehmend an andere Medien, wodurch ein Thema in den Medien zunehmend inszeniert wird (Ebd., S. 144).3.2, Realitäts-Fiktions-Unterscheidungen:Die Unterscheidung von Fakt und Fiktion ist im Zeitalter der Mediengesellschaft nicht mehr trennscharf möglich (Merten 2008, S. 306).Es vermischen sich oft fiktionale und non-fiktionale
    Abstract: Medieninhalte und der Zuschauer ist irritiert. Während die Illusion der Realität in Fantasie- und Science-Fiction-Filmen deutlich wird, kann sie vom Rezipienten in wirklichkeitsnahen Literatur- und Filmprodukten als ‚wahr' verstanden werden. Reale Orte, Personen oder Geschehnisse sind oftmals Bestandteil fiktionaler Medieninhalte, die sich auf Aspekte des Alltags beziehen und sich relativ leicht mit der subjektiven Realität des Rezipienten verbinden (Appel, 2005, S. 25f.). Auch in der Politik werden reale Orte, Personen und Geschehnisse in der Medienberichterstattung aufgenommen, doch stellt sich die Frage, wie viel Fiktion sich dort mit der Realität vermischt. So erschaffen Medien durch systemspezifisches Operieren ihre spezifischen Wirklichkeiten, in denen mit Fakten und Fiktionen gespielt wird (Schmidt 2002, S. 10).Inszenierte Pseudoereignisse, wie zum Beispiel George W. Bushs Landung mit einem Kampfjet auf einem Flugzeugträger am Ende des Irakkriegs und dessen anschließende Pose aus dem Film 'Top Gun' (vgl. Boje 2003; Spiegel Online 2003), sollen die Bevölkerung emotional erreichen und dem Präsidenten neue Popularität einbringen. Die Grenzen zwischen Fiktion- und Non-Fiktion sind so fließend, dass sie vom Rezipienten nicht eindeutig unterschieden werden können und somit zur Verwirrung oder sogar zur Leichtgläubigkeit führen. Gemessen an den Selektions- und Auswahlkriterien der Journalisten kann die Medienberichterstattung nicht der Realität entsprechen:'[Die Nachrichtenberichterstattung ist] tatsächlich immer eine fiktive Realität (...), die deutliche Züge einer utopischen Vorstellung trägt: alle Nationen sind gleich, alle sozialen Gruppen und Individuen sind gleich und sollten dementsprechend gleich häufig in den Nachrichten erwähnt werden; die Welt und die Menschen sind grundsätzlich gut, daher sollten die Nachrichten nicht alles Negative so
    Abstract: sehr herausstellen usw.' (Schulz 1990, S. 27).Sobald die Nachrichten von den Rezipienten als ‚wahr' akzeptiert werden, werden sie in der Konsequenz zur Realität (Schulz 1990, S. 28; vgl. Kapitel 3.1, S. 10).Durch den Einsatz der Fiktion in den Medien wird die Wirkung von Persuasion gesteigert (Merten 2008, S. 299f.) Das Überprüfen angeblicher Wahrheiten wird immer weniger als aussichtsreich gestaltet. Durch die Fiktionalisierung der Medien wird die Implementierung von den Versuchen erleichtert, die durch Propaganda Entscheidungen beeinflussen wollen (Ebd., S. 306f.).3.3, Das Entstehen und Wirken politischer Nachrichten:Politisches Handeln ist ohne die öffentliche kommunikative Vermittlungsleistung durch die Massenmedien in modernen Gesellschaften nicht mehr denkbar (Pfetsch, Berkel & Adam 2008b, S. 78). Dabei sind mediale Berichte oft einseitig, ungenau und verzerrt (Winterhoff-Spurk & Jäckel, 1999, S. 12; Rhomberg 2009, S. 106; Schulz 2008, S. 65f.). Entscheidend ist nicht nur, was gezeigt wird, sondern insbesondere was ausgeklammert und somit als bedeutungslos für die gesellschaftliche Auseinandersetzung erklärt wird (Hickethier 2007; S. 16). Durch das Verkürzen, Akzentuieren und Interpretieren der politischen Realität im Zuge der Mediatisierung wird die Realität in eine Medienrealität transformiert (Winterhoff-Spurk & Jäckel 1999, S. 12).'Politische Nachrichten repräsentieren eine Politik-Illusion. Sie konzentrieren sich auf prominente Personen der politischen Exekutive, auf Negativismus und auf Dramatik, auf fragmentiertes Geschehen und auf die Sichtweise der westlich-atlantischen Welt. (...) Es scheint, als sei es müßig, die Berichterstattung an Prinzipien wie Objektivität und Wahrheit zu messen.' (Schulz 2008, S. 65).Demnach richtet sich die Medienaufmerksamkeit nach hohem Status, Macht und Prominenz der politischen Elite. Nur wenige der

    Abstract: Ein signifikanter Faktor des (Wieder-)Aufstiegs der Großmächte Asiens sind deren endogene politisch-kulturellen Ressourcen. Das politisch-strategische Denken und Handeln der aufstrebenden Großmacht Indien ist ohne den fortwirkenden Einfluss des Arthashastra - 'Lehrbuch der Politik' - des Kautilya nicht zu verstehen. Das um 320 v. Chr. entstandene Werk ist ein Klassiker der „realistischen" Staatstheorie und Staatskunst - vergleichbar mit den Werken des Sun-Tzu oder Machiavellis. Als erster westlicher Sozialwissenschaftler erkannte Max Weber die Bedeutung Kautilyas. Die Studie gibt einen inhaltlichen Einblick in das Kautilya-Arthashastra und analysiert den latenten und den manifesten Einfluss seiner Ideengehalte in der indischen Strategic Community. Das Arthashastra ist ein integraler Bestandteil der politisch-strategischen Kultur Indiens, in der Tradition und Moderne eine singuläre Symbiose bilden.   Reihe Moderne Südasienstudien - Modern South Asian Studies - Band 1.

    Abstract: The year 2013 marks the centennial of the first "Free-German Youth Day" that took place on the Meissner massif. Anti-Semitic outbursts erupted at the margins of this historical gathering. In its wake, a right-wing populist faction of the youth movement arose for the first time. This collected volume examines the interface between the youth movement, nationalism, and anti-Semitism.

    Abstract: National Colors analyzes the politics and practices of official ethnoracial classification in the censuses of nineteen Latin American countries over nearly two centuries. It shows that, in addition to domestic politics, the ways that states classify their citizens are strongly influenced by shifting international criteria for how to construct modern nations and promote national development.

    Abstract: The State of the Adivasis in Odisha 2014: A Human Development Analysis endeavours to identify and highlight the development concerns of the tribals of the state, explore their causes and provide an opportunity to the state planners in prioritising the human development issues specific to this community. As one of the most excluded communities of India, Adivasis face many challenges in their daily lives: extreme poverty, social exclusion, poor access to healthcare, education and employment opportunities, displacement from their lands and forests and so on. The key objective of this report is to understand these areas of deprivations. It is imperative for the government to ensure food and nutritional security to Adivasis. Efforts should be made for conservation of forests. The tribes need to be provided with hospitals, schools and basic infrastructural facilities. Equal participation of women in project committees at all levels and in training schemes and commercial ventures should be taken to reduce gender inequality. Based on primary and secondary data analysis, this report studies the poor socio-economic condition of the Adivasis and offers possible solutions for empowering the tribal community as a whole. Â.

    Abstract: The land, labor, credit, and trading institutions of Marmara village, in Hausaland, northern Nigeria, are detailed in this study through fieldwork conducted in two national economic cycles - the petroleum-boom prosperity (in 1977-1979), and the macro-economic decline (in 1985, 1996 and 1998). The book unveils a new paradigm of economic change in the West African savannah, demonstrating how rural accumulation in a polygynous society actually limits the extent of inequality while at the same time promoting technical change.  A uniquely African non-capitalist trajectory of accumulation subordinates the acquisition of capital to the expansion of polygynous families, clientage networks, and circles of trading friends.  The whole trajectory is driven by an indigenous ethics of personal responsibility. This model disputes the validity of both Marxian theories of capitalist transformation in Africa and the New Institutional Economics.

    Abstract: Most of the Muslim societies of the world have entered a demographic transition from high to low fertility, and this process is accompanied by an increase in youth vis-a-vis other age groups. Political scientists and historians have debated whether such a "youth bulge" increases the potential for conflict or whether it represents a chance to accumulate wealth and push forward social and technological developments. This book introduces the discussion about youth bulge into social anthropology using Tajikistan, a post-Soviet country that experienced civil war in the 1990s, which is in the middle of such a demographic transition. Sophie Roche develops a social anthropological approach to analyze demographic and political dynamics, and suggests a new way of thinking about social change in youth bulge societies.

    Abstract: As life expectancy increases in India, the number of people living with dementia will also rise. Yet little is known about how people in India cope with dementia, how relationships and identities change through illness and loss. In addressing this question, this book offers a rich ethnographic account of how middle-class families in urban India care for their relatives with dementia. From the husband who wakes up at 3 am to feed his wife ice-cream to the daughters who gave up employment for seven years to care for their mother with dementia, this book illuminates the local idioms on dementia and aging, the personal experience of care-giving, the functioning of stigma in daily life, and the social and cultural barriers in accessing support.

It includes new work by anthropologists, sociologists, and cultural geographers, working in settings from Peru to India to Vietnam. Each chapter suggests that men are responding to globalization as fathers in creative and unprecedented ways, not only in the West, but also in numerous global locations.

    Abstract: Sex, smoking, and social stratification are three very different social phenomena. And yet, argues sociologist Randall Collins, they and much else in our social lives are driven by a common force: interaction rituals. Interaction Ritual Chains is a major work of sociological theory that attempts to develop a "radical microsociology." It proposes that successful rituals create symbols of group membership and pump up individuals with emotional energy, while failed rituals drain emotional energy. Each person flows from situation to situation, drawn to those interactions where their cultural capital gives them the best emotional energy payoff. Thinking, too, can be explained by the internalization of conversations within the flow of situations; individual selves are thoroughly and continually social, constructed from the outside in. The first half of Interaction Ritual Chains is based on the classic analyses of Durkheim, Mead, and Goffman and draws on micro-sociological research on conversation, bodily rhythms, emotions, and intellectual creativity. The second half discusses how such activities as sex, smoking, and social stratification are shaped by interaction ritual chains. For example, the book addresses the emotional and symbolic nature of sexual exchanges of all sorts--from hand-holding to masturbation to sexual relationships with prostitutes--while describing the interaction rituals they involve. This book will appeal not only to psychologists, sociologists, and anthropologists, but to those in fields as diverse as human sexuality, religious studies, and literary theory.

    Abstract: Nostalgia is intimately connected to the history of the social sciences in general and anthropology in particular, though finely grained ethnographies of nostalgia and loss are still scarce. Today, anthropologists have realized that nostalgia constitutes a fascinating object of study for exploring contemporary issues of the formation of identity in politics and history. Contributors to this volume consider the fabric of nostalgia in the fields of heritage and tourism, exile and diasporas, postcolonialism and postsocialism, business and economic exchange, social, ecological and religious movements, and nation building. They contribute to a better understanding of how individuals and groups commemorate their pasts, and how nostalgia plays a role in the process of remembering.

    Abstract: The social and cultural changes of the last century have transformed death from an everyday fact to something hidden from view. Shifting between the practical and the theoretical, the professional and the intimate, the real and the fictitious, this collection of essays explores the continued power of death over our lives. It examines the idea and experience of death from an interdisciplinary perspective, including studies of changing burial customs throughout Europe; an account of a"dying party" in the Netherlands; examinations of the fascination with violent death in crime fiction and the phenomenon of serial killer art; analyses of death and bereavement in poetry, fiction, and autobiography; and a look at audience reactions to depictions of death on screen. By studying and considering how death is thought about in the contemporary era, we might restore the natural place it has in our lives.

    Abstract: Mythologies and narratives of victimization pervade contemporary Croatia, set against the backdrop of militarized notions of masculinity and the political mobilization of religion and nationhood. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in rural Dalmatia in the Croatian-Bosnian border region, this book provides a unique account of the politics of ambiguous Europeanness from the perspective of those living at Europe's margins. Examining phenomena such as Marian apparitions, a historic knights tournament, the symbolic re-signification of a massacre site, and the desolate social situation of Croatian war veterans, Narrating Victimhood traces the complex mechanisms of political radicalization in a post-war scenario. This book provides a new perspective for understanding the ongoing processes of transformation in Southeastern Europe and the Balkans.

    Abstract: The term cosmopolitan is increasingly used within different social, cultural and political settings, including academia, popular media and national politics. However those who invoke the cosmopolitan project rarely ask whose experience, understanding, or vision of cosmopolitanism is being described and for whose purposes? In response, this volume assembles contributors from different disciplines and theoretical backgrounds to examine cosmopolitanism's possibilities, aspirations and applications-as well as its tensions, contradictions, and discontents-so as to offer a critical commentary on the vital but often neglected question: whose cosmopolitanism? The book investigates when, where, and how cosmopolitanism emerges as a contemporary social process, global aspiration or emancipatory political project and asks whether it can serve as a political or methodological framework for action in a world of conflict and difference.

    Abstract: Even though violence often functions irrationally, recent research has suggested that, as a form of nonverbal communication, violence follows certain rules. The essays explore this phenomenon, with a special focus on collective violence. They investigate examples taken from the cultural and literary history of the premodern era to examine rules of violent action, rules that provoke violence, and rules about discussing violence.

    Abstract: This book retrieves conceptions of national identity and ways of feeling French that competed against each other in the 19th century. By distinguishing between two groups of French writers, three who experienced the 1789 revolution as adults (de Gouges, de Chateaubriand, de Staël) and three who did not (Stendhal, Mérimée, Sand), it captures evolving understandings of the nation, as well as thoughts and emotions associated with national belonging.
