Investigates the Alevis' struggles for recognition in Turkey and the diaspora and transformations in authority and traditional rituals This book explores the struggles of a minority group - Alevis - for recognition and representation in Turkey and the diaspora. It examines how they mobilise against state practices and claim their rights, while at the same time negotiating how they define themselves. The authors offers a conceptual framework to study minorities by looking at both structural and agency-related factors in resisting state pressure and mobilising for their rights. The Alevis in Modern Turkey and the Diaspora is divided into three main sections looking into: the Turkish state and society's pressures over Alevis; how Alevis struggle and obtain representation in various Western countries; and how traditional authority and rituals transform under these conditions. Studying this minority group's experience helps to understand oppression and resistance in the broader Middle East. Key Features  14 detailed case studies provide insights into the struggles for recognition and representation by Alevi communities in Turkey and the diaspora under the AKP administration  Demonstrates how the struggles for recognition transform and re-define traditions, authorities and rituals  Examines how diverse understandings of Alevi identities interplay with standardised representations of Alevism  Opens up the study of the recognition of minorities as local, national and transnational processes Derya Özkul is a Research Officer at the Refugee Studies Centre, University of Oxford.

Published to acclaim in the UK, an authoritative, revelatory new history of the Holocaust that "shatters many myths about the Nazis' genocide" (Sunday Times), from one of the leading scholars of his generation."A stunning, original, concise analysis. ... Masterful." --Wendy Lower, author of Hitler's FuriesThe Holocaust is much discussed, much memorialized, and much portrayed. But there are major aspects of its history that have been overlooked.Spanning the entirety of the Holocaust, this sweeping history deepens our understanding. Dan Stone--Director of the Holocaust Research Institute at Royal Holloway, University of London--reveals how the idea of "industrial murder" is incomplete: many were killed where they lived in the most brutal of ways. He outlines the depth of collaboration across Europe, arguing persuasively that we need to stop thinking of the Holocaust as an exclusively German project. He also considers the nature of trauma the Holocaust engendered, and why Jewish suffering has yet to be fully reckoned with. And he makes clear that the kernel to understanding Nazi thinking and action is genocidal ideology, providing a deep analysis of its origins.Drawing on decades of research, The Holocaust: An Unfinished History upends much of what we think we know about the Holocaust. Stone draws on Nazi documents, but also on diaries, post-war testimonies, and even fiction, urging that, in our age of increasing nationalism and xenophobia, it is vital that we understand the true history of the Holocaust.

There is a fundamental contradiction in U.S. Imperialism: the capital of this empire for decades has had a majority Black population, which-in turn-has created favorable conditions not only for the erosion of the pestilence that is racism but the flourishing of the antidote that is radicalism. In this sweeping history, Gerald Horne traces this phenomenon over a century, in a book which should be understood and studied by all anti-imperialist and progressive forces. This relatively small metropolis also has influenced profoundly its neighbors in Maryland and Virginia, especially in the potent area of labor organizing.

'Gender' is a catch-all term: it is used in discourses on women's and LGBTIQ+ rights, gender equality, sexual education, gender studies - and by the anti-gender movements. The book offers an analysis of the blurring boundaries between political positions known as 'anti-gender' on the one hand and feminist and LGBTIQ+ strands on the other, starting from the hypothesis that there are discursive bridges between both camps which go beyond the exploitation of emancipatory attitudes. Rather, there are linkages which originate in mainstream feminist and LGBTIQ+ positions. The volume sheds light on these linkages in order to make the case for the need for alliances and dialogues to more effectively counter crusades on women's and LGBTIQ+ constituencies.

This book is an examination of how American mass media, including advertising, presents Otherness ¿ anyone or anything constructed as different from an established norm ¿ in terms of gender, race, sex, disabilities, and other markers of difference. Using a mythological lens, the book looks below the surface of media content to explore the psychological, social, and economic underpinnings of a system of beliefs that result in prejudice, discrimination, and oppression. Designed to raise awareness of the foundations of historically-based inequities in the American social, cultural, and economic milieu, the author shows how inequalities are maintained, at least in part, by mass media, popular culture, and advertising representations of Otherness. The book aims to increase awareness of stereotyping in the media, and expose how the construction of people as Others contributes to their marginalization. Written in an accessible and engaging style, with student-friendly discussion questions and resources, this book is suitable for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

Bringing together foreign and domestic policy, The Poverty of the World aims to offer a new answer to the question of why Americans became obsessed with poverty in the 1960s. A history of how American liberals made sense of US power during a period of unprecedented affluence at home, it uses intellectual and political biographies of major figures in postwar US social thought and politics to tell the story of how Americans invented the problem of "global poverty" and executed a war against it.

Die Forschung zur Weimarer Republik konzentriert sich vor allem auf die Städte, insbesondere Berlin; die Forschung zum Stifterwesen insbesondere auf das deutsche Kaiserreich. Das Werk behandelt einen beispiellosen Ausnahmefall jüdischen Mäzenatentums in der Zwischenkriegszeit auf dem Land. Der amerikanisch-jüdische Philanthrop James Loeb zog noch vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg auf einen Landsitz in Murnau im bayerischen Oberland. Während der Weimarer Republik finanzierte er u.a. das örtliche Kriegerdenkmal, eine gemeinnützige Baugenossenschaft, eine Mädchenschule, eine Wohltätigkeitsstiftung für Bedürftige, schließlich das örtliche Krankenhaus. Gleichzeitig entwickelte sich Murnau seit den frühen 1920er Jahren zu einer Hochburg des Nationalsozialismus, wo bereits (atypisch für Oberbayern) seit 1924 bei allen Reichs- und Landtagswahlen mehrheitlich völkisch bzw. nationalsozialistisch gewählt wurde. Das Buch blickt auf dieses Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Philanthropie und Rassenwahn.

As I began to write what originally started out to be a family orientated portrayal (of which much still is), race and the influence of politics and religion became increasingly important factors to acknowledge. They are inextricably bound together in the consciousness of America. Decisions made by elected and unelected officials affect virtually every aspect of our lives - whether we know it or not. Where buildings are built, where roads are constructed, where services are and are not provided, how the administration of justice is meted out, the list goes on. These decisions are ultimately made by the political class. The attitudes of those holding office will affect how these resources are allocated. If there is a price to be paid by those decisions it's felt by those with the least political and financial clout. The book is broken up into many different segments all of which play a part in either illuminating particular themes mentioned above, sharing family insights, and of high proirity to the writer, rising in the mind of the reader the desire to question the previously unquestioned and if motivated challenge those previously unquestioned assumptions. I hope the reader finds this book as interesting to read as I found it to write.

A half-century of social documentary from the acclaimed American photographer, with previously unseen worksIn this deeply personal book, Eugene Richards (born 1944) excavated a collection of more than 50 years of mostly unseen photographs--from his earliest pictures of sharecropper life in the Arkansas Delta to the present. In the midst of a fraught political climate--pandemic, rise in gun violence, polarized politics and the devastation in Beirut--Richards found himself meditating on what it means to make socially conscious documentary photography today. Upon his son's suggestion, he began to post his photographs on social media, sifting through dusty binders of contact sheets--photographs taken for a community newspaper, on assignment for magazines, as a volunteer for human rights organizations, when wandering alone and at home with his family--and scanning the negatives.In This Brief Life compiles these works, along with personal commentary and extensive captions by the photographer.

"The definitive takedown of fatphobia, drawing on personal experience as well as rigorous research to expose how size discrimination harms everyone, and how to combat it-from the author of Down Girl and Entitled. For as long as she can remember, Kate Manne has wanted to be smaller. She can tell you what she weighed on any significant occasion: her wedding day, the day she became a professor, the day her daughter was born. She's been bullied and belittled for her size, leading to extreme dieting. As a feminist philosopher, she wanted to believe that she was exempt from the cultural gaslighting that compels so many of us to ignore our hunger. But she was not. Blending intimate stories with the trenchant analysis that has become her signature, Manne shows why fatphobia has become a vital social justice issue. Over the last several decades, implicit bias has waned in every category, from race to sexual orientation, except one: body size. Manne examines how anti-fatness operates-how it leads us to make devastating assumptions about a person's attractiveness, fortitude, and intellect, and how it intersects with other systems of oppression. Fatphobia is responsible for wage gaps, medical neglect, and poor educational outcomes; it is a straitjacket, restricting our freedom, our movement, our potential. In this urgent call to action, Manne proposes a new politics of "body reflexivity"-a radical reevaluation of who our bodies exist in the world for: ourselves and no one else. When it comes to fatphobia, the solution is not to love our bodies more. Instead, we must dismantle the forces that control and constrain us, and remake the world to accommodate people of every size"--

The public culture of the receiving society and the dominant understanding of belonging and political membership can influence the social participation of immigrants as much as immigration law. However, current discussions of integration focus primarily on the distribution of rights and neglect the role of tacit knowledge. Through a systematical and philosophical analysis of identity's role in policy-making, governance and social practice, Bodi Wang shows how a one-sided understanding of integration resembles »assimilation« and why integration should be expected from locals as well. Weaving together extensive findings in sociology, history, critical race theory and Chinese philosophy with ethics and migration studies, this book provides a compelling argument for adopting the concept of »mutual integration« to overcome injustice and to enhance social solidarity.

Digitale Freelance-Plattformen werben mit Flexibilität, Unabhängigkeit und dem Zugang zu einem weltweiten Arbeitsmarkt. Doch was bedeutet es, sich in diesem Umfeld zu organisieren und zu positionieren? »Global Platform Work« beleuchtet den Alltag von Grafikdesigner:innen, die von Indien aus über digitale Plattformen weltweit Aufträge erhalten. Auf der Grundlage von Interviews, Beobachtungen und Fototagebüchern beschreibt Anna Oechslen, wie wichtig es für Gigworker:innen ist, sich ständig aufs Neue in ein positives Licht zu rücken, Beziehungen zu knüpfen und sich an eine Arbeitsumgebung anzupassen, die im ständigen Wandel begriffen ist. Dabei formuliert sie Gig Work als Beziehungsarbeit und beleuchtet alltägliche Praktiken, die gängige Konzepte von Arbeit oft unberücksichtigt lassen.

On les appelle les "transfuges de classe" ou encore les "trans classe". Ce sont ces personnes qui, parfois, parviennent à déjouer les statistiques, et à s'affranchir d'une condition initiale particulièrement difficile pour appartenir à un groupe social plus privilégié, telles ces quelques personnalités du monde du sport ou ces artistes, ou encore ces enfants d'ouvriers devenus cadres ou chefs d'entreprise.Je fais partie de cette dernière catégorie.Sommes-nous des exceptions ?
