TurkeyThe Insane and the MelancholyEce TemelkuranTranslated by Zeynep Beler

“Part memoir, part historical rumination, part jeremiad against the current government, Temelkuran’s book is an attempt to come to grips with her ‘troubled, ill-fated and perplexing country’ and its ‘great, long madness.’ The por-trait she paints is uncomplimentary but loving; its harshness is born of honest observation and heartfelt concern..”—Bookforum “Temelkuran could not have predicted these events, but she has nonetheless written a primer for today’s chaos, a masterclass in expecting the unexpected.”—Financial TimesDistributed for Zed Books

The PKKComing Down from the MountainsPaul White

The Kurdistan Workers’ Party, known as the PKK, is infamous for its extreme violence. The struggle it has waged for Kurdish independence in southeastern Turkey has taken an excess of 40,000 lives.

Paul White provides the only authoritative and up-to-date analysis of one of the most important non-state political players in the contemporary Middle East.Distributed for Zed Books

HezbollahThe Political Economy of Lebanon’s Party of GodJoseph Daher

“Most appraisals of Hezbollah from a left-wing perspective have focused, often solely, on its role in the fight against the Israeli occupation of Lebanon. . . .

We need to reinvent the social demo-cratic project ‘at home and abroad’—including a global institutional system to mediate effectively between existing public and international law. We must do the hard work of ‘joining up the dots . . . of a far too patchy, far too easily ma-nipulated institutional framework that governs the lives of the rich and poor.’ ”—Times Higher Education2016 208 p. 6 x 9 12 halftones 64 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-23679-7 $25.00 Your Price: $20.00

Banking on WordsThe Failure of Language in the Age of Derivative FinanceArjun Appadurai

“When Appadurai writes about derivatives, it becomes an exploration of the vast shadow effect of this now-familiar instrument. It also becomes an occasion to enrich our understanding of the derivative’s dangers and value with the rumina-tions of those whose wisdom predates its exis-tence. The result is a new insight, a wonderful mix of discovery and literature.”—Saskia Sassen, author of Expulsions2015 176 p. 6 x 9 65 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-31877-6 $22.50 Your Price: $18.00

Legacies, Logics, LogisticsEssays in the Anthropology of the Platform EconomyJane I. Guyer

“Superbly crafted essays that draw on vibrant ethnographic material and creative rendering of social and cultural theory. This collection makes clear the profound nature of Guyer’s writing, including her decisive concept of ‘platforms,’ which stabilizes theoretical and empirical inquiry around key financial issues. Here we see the powerful impact of her career trajectory on the establishment of the foundations of the anthropology of finance.”—Douglas R. Holmes, author of Economy of Words2016 320 p. 6 x 9 3 halftones, 1 line drawing 66 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-32687-0 $30.00 Your Price: $24.00

RacismA Critical AnalysisMike Cole

“Cole combines critical race theory with neo-Marxism to argue that racism—both its intentional and unintentional manifestations—cannot be understood in any geographic space without a consideration of capitalist systems of power on a national and international level. With the UK, the US, and Australia as his focal points, he examines the various forms of racism and racialization that continue to target various groups in these Anglophone societies.”—ChoiceDistributed for Pluto Press

Crisis and CritiqueA History of Media Participation in Times of CrisisAnne Kaun

“Finally, a historically nuanced book on the role of media in protest movements. Kaun provides a very timely comparative analysis of media technologies in times of crisis.”—José van Dijck, author of The Culture of Connectivity “Kaun gives us important resources for think-ing through the challenges we face today as scholars and activists committed to transforma-tive and radical communication. Her historical and analytic clarity help us separate the hype from the reality.”—Max Haiven, co-author of The Radical ImaginationDistributed for Zed Books

Working the PhonesControl and Resistance in Call CentersJamie Woodcock

“Woodcock’s brilliant insider account of life in a British call-centre reveals the dirty realities of digital capitalism. It’s a grim world that business wonks and politicians would rather you’d not know about. But unlike other descriptions of the neoliberal workforce who are pliant and broke, Woodcock finds workers fighting back.”—Peter Fleming, author of The Mythology of WorkDistributed for Pluto Press

The Seductions of QuantificationMeasuring Human Rights, Gender Violence, and Sex TraffickingSally Engle Merry

“Merry establishes a coherent framework for studying the problem of indicators and applies that framework in a comparative ethnographic study of three important indicator-building proj-ects.”—John M. Conley, University of North Carolina School of Law “Advances a strong and compelling argu-ment that the quantitative indicators developed to document relative performance related to human rights around the world are ‘seductive’ as forms of knowledge, yet they actually construct partial and problematic representations about the world.”—Michael McCann, University of WashingtonChicago Series in Law and Society

Politics of Religious FreedomEdited by Winnifred Fallers Sullivan, Elizabeth Shakman Hurd, Saba Mahmood, and Peter G. Danchin

“The contributors repeatedly make the point [that], rather than a single, stable principle of universal application, religious freedom is poly-valent and reflects the historical conditions of its composition.”—Choice “Taken individually, these essays are erudite, consistently interesting, and well written. Taken collectively, they are a tour de force for deepening our knowledge and understanding of a concept many or most of us have simply taken for granted in our intellectual lives.”—Religion2015 344 p. 6 x 9 1 halftone 71 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-24850-9 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00
