Arguing that, to take control oftheir future, Arab peoples need to unify in a positive and gen-uinely new way and struggle alongside others against capital-ism and imperialism, this book also reveals how the 2011events have shaped an alternative future.

PricelessCuring the Healthcare CrisisJohn C. Goodman

A no-nonsense approach to health care, this book takes theAffordable Care Act to task and rejects Barack Obama’svision. Arguing that the United States should create a marketfor sick people, in which health plans vigorously compete tosolve the problems of diabetics, asthmatics, heart patients, can-cer patients, and others with high expected health care costs,this book maintains that every example of a center of excel-lence—producing high-quality, low-cost care—originated fromthe supply side of the market, not the demand side.

Going Too FarEssays About America’s Nervous BreakdownIshmael Reed

Challenging a prevailing attitude, this account disputes theidea that racism is no longer a factor in American life. Basedon cultural and literary evidence—including Mark Twain’sHuckleberry Finn—it argues that, in some ways, the UnitedStates very much resembles the country of the 1850s. Not onlyare the representations of blacks in popular culture throw-backs to the days of minstrelsy, but politicians are also raisingstereotypes reminiscent of those which fugitive slaves found itnecessary to combat: that African Americans are lazy, depend-ent, and in need of management. Bold and direct, this bookbrings an important debate to the surface.

He is the author of AiringDirty Laundry, Barack Obama and the Jim Crow Media, andJuice, and a former professor at the University of California–Berkeley as well as at Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth.

The Sportsmen of ChangiKevin Blackburn

In this moving account, the diaries of prisoners and other his-torical evidence are provided to exemplify the positive andhumanizing force of sports amidst hellish POW camp condi-tion. Whether Australian prisoners-of-war played Aussie-rulesfootball at the infamous Changi Prison or tennis on theBurmese side of the Burma-Thailand Railway, the idea ofengaging in recreational sports—sometimes with their cap-tors—in Japanese POW camps contradicts the popular notionof the horror and suffering associated with WWII. Answeringquestions such as Were sports the one link to normalcy? Didplaying prove that the men were still tough despite defeat? andWhat did sports mean to these soldiers?, this record demon-strates how morale was boosted in the most dire of times.

The War TourZoe Lambert

From Kandahar to Sarajevo and the forests of Lithuania to theCongo’s boot camps, these short stories weave a dark and dis-turbing web, interlacing documentary accounts with imaginedtestimonies to give a voice to the many silenced casualties ofwar. An elderly woman on a bus tells a love story drawn fromthe depths of Soviet history; a soldier returns from his firsttour of duty unsure he deserves his hero’s welcome; and aNorwegian immigrant pieces together a family history frac-tured in the aftermath of Nazi occupation. These are just someof the stories that, individually, bear witness to a thirst for con-flict that seems both unquenchable and foreign. Together, theybring the question of collusion and responsibility all the wayback to the reader’s own doorstep.

Zoe Lambert is a writer, a lecturer in creative writing at theUniversities of Bolton and Edge Hill, and a contributor to theanthology Bracket. She is the founder of Verberate, which is thename of cult Manchester’s literature night, and a board memberof the Northwest Short Story Network.

“A starkly brutal, existential journey into power, guilt, iden-tity, bureaucracy, and the darkest corners of the humansoul. There is no laying of blame here.

“Lambert’s collection of war stories presents a carefully balanced picture of the world's combat zones, with Tutsireportage presented alongside Hutu, or a Bosnian’s remembrance pitched against a Serb’s.

It Was Just, YesterdayMirja UngeTranslated by Kari Dickson

On Christmas Eve, a girl stalks an older man through winterycity streets, haunted by their shared past; in a remote wood-land cottage, an eccentric explains to his granddaughter whyhe shoots cats whenever they make themselves too comfort-able; in a checkout queue, a woman suddenly shows charity toa penniless guy she seemingly doesn’t know. The characters inthis collection are all, in their own way, evading something,whether failing to confront the true nature of an encounter oravoiding responsibilities as a parent, sibling, or friend. Abuse,betrayal, and neglect lurk beneath a veneer of mutually main-tained “normality,” waiting for an opportunity to resurface.Told, in most cases, through the eyes of teenage girls or youngwomen, these stories exhibit a unique prose style that perfectlycaptures the conversational rhythms—and preoccupations—ofa generation.

Whether evading the expectations of adultlife or finding themselves drawn to people by whom they’resimultaneously repulsed, the characters in this compilationhold a mirror up to the peculiar failings of masculinity. But asthey carouse, argue, philosophize, and binge their way throughthe streets of Prague, they also offer the reader stark momentsof insight and pathos.

Yet amid the anonymity of urban life, random acci-dents, and mistaken identities, there can also be found an abid-ing faith in the unexpected gifts that chance throws up:synchronicities, coincidences, moments in time that offer freshsecrets, and, occasionally, even a second chance.

The small island archipelago of St Kilda, which rises majesti-cally from the stormy waters of the North Atlantic, has amagic allure that is both enduring and inexplicable.Philanthropist and genealogist George Seton traveled to StKilda in the summer of 1876, and this account is the result ofthat visit. It summarizes previous material about the islands,surveys local incidents from the beginning of the 17th century,and provides a wealth of information about the daily life andunique customs that were soon to die out under the impact ofincreasing exposure to the outside world. Aside from being oneof the most significant books ever written on this extraordi-nary place, this examination is also a fascinating insight intothe mind-set of the Victorian traveler.

George Seton was a Scottish philanthropist and genealogist. Heis the author of History of the Family of Seton and The Lawand Practice of Heraldry in Scotland.

The Early English Settlement of Orkney and ShetlandGraeme Davis

Written by one of Britain’s foremost experts in medieval cul-ture, this account counters popular historical belief by propos-ing that there was a Saxon settlement in both Orkney andShetland, Scotland, during the fourth century AD. Arguing thatthe Saxons, a minority group, were subsumed into theNorwegian Viking population that migrated to the islandsaround AD 790, it demonstrates how these people had a 400-year presence on the islands. Based on extensive linguistic, his-torical, and archaeological research, this book casts a newlight on the origins of the first island settlers.

Graeme Davis is a research fellow at Northumbria Universityspecializing in medieval language, literature, and culture. He isthe author of several books, including The Lost Symbol:Found, Vikings in America, and West Country English.

Good Girls, Good SexWomen Talk about Church and SexualitySonya Sharma

Investigating what occurs when awoman’s identities as a Christian and anembodied sexual individual collide, thisstudy draws from conversations withmore than 30 Protestant women, explor-ing how both religious values and com-munities—as well as social class andrace—shape women’s sexual experiences.In their stories, these women reflect onhow they handle conflicts between theirreligious views and sexual desires, reveal-ing how they satisfy those natural urgeswhile simultaneously negotiating a con-servative Christian message along withmore liberal, secular morals. The conceptof the “good girl” is a common threadthroughout these narratives, as is thechallenge of such notions of “no sexbefore marriage,” perceiving their sexuali-ty and insights into their church commu-nity as a means to oppose systems ofpatriarchy that persist in these spaces.

More than MythologyNarratives, Ritual Practices and Regional Distributionin Pre-Christian Scandinavian ReligionsEdited by Catharina Raudvere and Jens Peter Schjødt

Written by distinguished scholars from multiple perspectives,this account widens the interpretative scope on religious lifeamong the pre-Christian Scandinavian people. The religion ofthe Viking Age is conventionally identified through its mythol-ogy: the ambiguous character Odin, the forceful Thor, and theend of the world approaching in Ragnarök. However, pre-Christian religion consisted of so much more than mythicimagery and legends and has long lingered in folk tradition.Exploring the religion of the North through an interdiscipli-nary approach, the book sheds new light on a number of top-ics, including rituals, gender relations, social hierarchies, andinterregional contacts between the Nordic tradition and theSami and Finnish regions.

Governing GirlsRehabilitation in the Age of RiskChristie L. Barron

Recognizing the significant media hypeand moral panic over assaults and violentcrimes perpetrated by young women inrecent years, this investigation revealshow Canadian governmental response tocontrol crime overall and provide citizenprotection has taken various—and oftencontradictory—forms. Through interviewswith young female offenders and youthjustice authorities, this study examinesfemale youth violence in the contempo-rary landscape of control, analyzing theincreasing reliance on risk assessmenttools. Delving into the meaning of treat-ment; analyzing the gender, race, and classdimensions of the risk construct; andquestioning the impact of risk rationality,this reference contends that actuarialtechnologies depoliticize the process ofcontrol, further excluding and marginaliz-ing young female offenders.

Disability Politics & TheoryA. J. Withers

Providing an accessible introduction tothe subject, this concise survey exploresthe concept of disability as it has beenconceived from the late 19th century tothe present. The examination looks atwhen, how, and why new categories ofdisability are created, describing how cap-italism benefits from and enforces dis-abled people’s oppression. Critiquing themodel that currently dominates the disci-pline—the social model of disability—thisbook offers an alternative: the radical dis-ability model, which builds on the origi-nal while drawing from more recentschools of radical thought, particularlyfeminism and critical race theory. Thestudy reveals how this new model empha-sizes the role of intersecting oppressionsin the marginalization of disabled people,stressing the importance of addressingdisability both independently and in con-junction with other oppressions.Intertwining theoretical and historicalanalysis with personal experience, thisreference is a poignant portrayal of dis-abled people in Canada and the UnitedStates—and a radical call for social andeconomic justice.

A. J. Withers is a former organizer withthe Ontario Coalition Against Poverty andlives in Toronto, Ontario.

Racialized PolicingAboriginal People’s Encounters with the PoliceElizabeth ComackForeword by Donald E. Worme

Taking on the controversial subject of racial profiling byCanadian police, this book explores how ethnicity and discrim-ination play out in institutional practices and systemic process-es, exposing the ways in which policing is racialized. Thevolume draws on the historical records and contemporary casesof Aboriginal–police relations—such as the shootings of J. J.Harper and Matthew Dumas by Winnipeg police officers andthe “Starlight Tours” in Saskatoon—as well as interviews con-ducted with Aboriginal people in Winnipeg’s inner-city commu-nities, examining how race and racism inform the routinepractices of police officers and how they affect their encounterswith Aboriginal people. Arguing that resolution requires a fun-damental transformation in the structure and organization ofpolicing, this bold analysis makes suggestions for reframing therole of police as well as their peacekeeping efforts.

Realising the DreamUnlearning the Logic of Race in the South African SchoolCrain Soudien

Beginning with a thorough review of the theoretical literatureon race and social difference, this book delivers a meticulousexamination of how the “logic of race” is played out in thelives of postapartheid South African school students. The com-pelling analysis draws from two decades of empirical research,revealing how the ongoing preoccupation with race not onlyobscures but also prevents the evolving new ways of under-standing privilege and subordination. The argument contendsthat the fundamental promise of education is to develop thecapacity to make real, in society’s will and desire, the promiseof a better world. Recognizing that this goal can only be fullyrealized when the prejudices and false certainties of race andgender are forgotten, this analysis is as brave as it is challeng-ing, making it essential for education practitioners, students,and social theorists.

About Canada: Queer RightsPeter Knegt

Questioning whether or not Canada is a “queer utopia,” thisdocument reflects on the country’s growth of acceptance of theLGQBT lifestyles, speculating if it was truly the goal that queeractivists hoped to achieve. Using the origins of the 1970s gayand lesbian liberation movement as a starting point, the historyof the struggle for queer rights in Canada is highlighted, creat-ing a clearer understanding of the present day. Covered topicsinclude regional organizing; legal reform; institutional homo-phobia; children, youth, and education; health; and differenceand privilege. Contending that Canada’s queer community is asdiverse and multicultural as the country itself, this study alsoemphasizes that they are not easily generalized, arguing thatthey have not yet achieved equality.

About Canada: Disability RightsDeborah Stienstra

Through a close examination of employment, education, trans-portation, telecommunications, and health care, this surveyexplores the landscape of disability rights in Canada and findsthat, while important advances have been made, Canadianswith disabilities still experience significant barriers in obtain-ing their human rights. Using the stories and voices of peoplewith disabilities, the consideration argues that disability is notabout “faulty” bodies that need to be fixed but about the insti-tutional, cultural, and attitudinal reactions to certain kinds ofbodies, contending that neoliberal ideas of independence andindividualism are at the heart of the continuing discriminationagainst “disabled” people. Asserting that achieving disabilityrights is possible—but not through efforts to “fix” certainkinds of bodies—this analysis suggests that it can be achievedthrough universal design, disability supports, social and eco-nomic assistance, and a sense of belonging—in short, throughthe foundational social transformation of Canadian society.

Drink and the CityAlcohol and Alcohol Problems in Urban UK Since the 1950sJ. E. McGregor

Based on original research drawn from local archives and oralhistories, this book uses the city of Nottingham, England, as acase study to examine changing attitudes and responses todrinking and alcohol problems in the United Kingdom fromthe 1950s to the early 2000s. Comparing local developmentswith those nationally, it demonstrates how drinking wasviewed by city inhabitants as an essential activity in the 1950sjust as the idea of the alcoholic—a medical as well as moralphenomenon—surfaced in society. The book also describeshow, as this view took hold in the 1960s, it became associatedlocally with poverty and believed to be a problem of thevagrant alcoholic. Exemplified by the drunken soccer fan ofthe 1980s and the young binge drinker of the late 1990s andearly 2000s, this account offers insights into the changingnature of Britain’s drinking culture in recent times.

J. E. McGregor worked in the UK substance misuse treatmentsector before taking up an academic post at the University ofNottingham lecturing on the subject.

WhackademiaAn Insider’s Account of the Troubled UniversityRichard Hil

A scathing insider exposé, this account lifts the lid on a highereducation system that’s corporatized beyond recognition,steeped in bureaucracy, and dominated by marketing and PRimperatives rather than intellectual pursuit. Fearless, ferocious,and often funny, this exposes a world that stands in stark con-trast to the slogans and mottos joyously promoted byAustralia’s universities. Raising bold questions that go to theheart of Australian higher education, this is an unsentimentalcall for a reenlightened higher education sector that’s aboutmore than just revenue, efficiencies, and corporate profile.

Was It Something I Wore?Dress, Identity, MaterialityEdited by Relebohile Moletsane, Claudia Mitchell, and Ann Smith

Acknowledging how people often wear their causes on their t-shirts, this exploration studies the construction and perform-ance of personal and social identities through choices oftraditional attire. The essays point to the significance of dressas material culture in social science research—not only in theircontent but also in their focus on a variety of methodologiesincluding memory work, visual studies, autoethnography,object biographies, and other forms of textual analysis. Thetitle’s framing question is central to the many inquiries thebook raises—inquiries that challenge the sociopolitical statusquo: To what extent does dress visually signify the construc-tion of a chosen identity and performance? How does dressposition identity in different social and cultural spaces? andWhat is the role of dress in the constructions of schooling andcontemporary childhood? Investigating these questions andmore, this colorful study addresses a variety of pertinent socialissues that confront communities in southern Africa.

Books and BabiesPregnancy and Young Parents in SchoolsEdited by Robert Morrell, Deevia Bhana, and Tamara Shefer

The challenges and difficulties of being pregnant and a youngparent in South African schools are brought to light in thisvaluable examination. Drawing on both quantitative and qual-itative research conducted in secondary schools in Durban andCape Town, the book explores how teachers and principalsrespond to the presence of pregnant learners and young par-ents and surveys the attitudes of fellow learners towards them.Interviews with the young parents themselves yield rich narra-tives which, accompanied by a visual essay, delve into theirlives as they confront the overwhelming demands of pregnan-cy, parenting, and education. Providing a finely textured analy-sis of these demands, this reference demonstrates the ongoingneed to challenge the unequal and gendered load of pregnancyand parenting—both in schools and the broader social context.

The Ancient Mariner SpeaksExamining Regimes of Truth in ADHDMarion Stordy

Confronting how the number of childrenlabeled with Attention Deficit Hyper-activity Disorder (ADHD) has beenincreasing over the last 30 years, thisinvestigation contends that the label itselfdoes more harm than good. The studybegins with a compelling and deeply per-sonal narrative, written from the point ofview of someone characterized as ADHD.Through an analysis using Foucault’s the-ories on truth, power, and knowledge, theargument depicts how the ADHD labelforces child behavior—mainly in boys—that is seen as “disruptive” out of thelarger continuum into the category ofproblem behavior, absolving adults andsocial institutions of any responsibility forencouraging diversity. The book claimsthat this pattern only serves to exacerbatethe problem for such children, singlingthem out and excluding them from inter-action with others in the classroom.

Marion Stordy is a former teacher with amaster’s degree in education. She lives inCharlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

The Ocean RangerRemaking the Promise of OilSusan Dodd

Reflecting on Canada’s worst sea disastersince World War II, this chronicle cap-tures the 1982 sinking of the oil rigOcean Ranger, which took the entirecrew of 84 men—including the author’sbrother—down with it. The memory ofthis tragic event gradually faded into asad story about a terrible storm, relegatedto the “Extreme Weather” section of thenews archives. Resurrecting this disasterfrom the realm of history, this study mapsthe sociopolitical processes of its after-math, when power, money, and collectivehopes for the future transformed a storyof corporate indifference and betrayal ofpublic trust into a “lesson learned” by aheroic industry. This book acts as a navi-gational resource for other disaster after-maths—including that of the DeepwaterHorizon in the Gulf of Mexico—as wellas a call for vigilant government regula-tion of industry in all its forms.

Peace-Making and the ImaginationPapua New Guinea PerspectivesAndrew Strathern and Pamela J. Stewart

A compelling new book that presents a thoughtful and creativeapproach to transforming violent discordances, this workexamines the intractable issues of revenge and restitution in aconflict context. It argues that in communities where violencemust be paid for through compensation, violent conflict can becontained. With primary reference to the Highlands of PapuaNew Guinea and comparisons to cases from Africa, Pakistan,and other arenas of tribal social formations, the accountexplores how rituals such as wealth disbursement, oath taking,sacrifice, and formal apologies are often used as a means ofaverting or transcending acts of vengeance after violence.Through exploration of the balance between revenge and com-pensation at different junctures in the peace-making process,this compelling text devises a thought-provoking and inventiveanalysis that would benefit countless communities in conflictaround the world.

Capital Cities in AfricaPower and PowerlessnessEdited by Simon Bekker and Göran Therborn

Focusing on capital cities in nine sub-Saharan African countries,this volume traces how the power vested in them has evolvedthrough different colonial backgrounds, radically differentkinds of regimes after independence, waves of popular protest,explosive population growth, and, in most cases, stunted eco-nomic development. Starting at the point of national politicalemancipation, each case study explores the complicatedprocesses of nation–state building through its manifestation inthe “urban geology” of the city—its architecture, iconography,layout, and political use of urban space. Overwhelmed by theinevitable challenges resulting from their urbanization, the gov-ernments seated in most of these capital cities are in effect bothpowerful—wielding power over their populace—and powerless,unable to implement their plans and provide for their inhabi-tants. Exploring this dichotomy as well as urban forms of mul-tilayered power, this analysis carves a new path in the rich fieldof studies related to African cities and politics.

Simon Bekker is the coeditor of Reflections on Identity in FourAfrican Cities. He is a professor emeritus in sociology at theUniversity of Stellenbosch. Göran Therborn is a sociologistwho has served as a professor at Cambridge and UppsalaUniversities and as codirector of the Swedish Collegium forAdvanced Study in the Social Sciences.

Rather than focusing on thescientific aspects, this book seeks to draw attention to theinterdependence of nature and humanity, allowing for a newperspective on the changes of culture and climate. A compila-tion of reactions by African artists dealing with the currentecological situation, this account raises awareness by beingboth humorous and critical.

Gabi Ngcobo is an independent curator, the cofounder of theCenter for Historical Reenactments, and a faculty member atthe Wits School of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand.

Veniceland AtlantisThe Bleak Future of the World’s Favourite CityRobert L. France

Venice, one of the world’s most beautiful and beloved cities,may also be one of the most endangered, and this book, writ-ten by a distinguished environmental scholar, gives equalweight to both the environmental and the social problemsplaguing the “Queen of the Adriatic.” Based on careful analysisand many interviews and including a multitude of photographsand relevant quotations from popular novels, this comprehen-sive study examines the precarious state of the city and con-cludes that the very future of Venice is in doubt. The authorexplains that not only are the rising sea levels and floods detri-mental, but the millions of pleasure-seeking tourists—whomthe Venetians have allowed to destroy, possibly irreparably, thesocial fabric of their city—are also taking their toll on one ofItaly’s greatest treasures.

Robert L. France is a professor of watershed management atNova Scotia Agricultural College and a former professor oflandscape design at Harvard University. He is the author of TheHandbook of Landscape Regenerative Development andDesign, The Handbook of Water Sensitive Planning and Design,Ultreia! Onward!
