Dear Readers,

I am proud to present our Spring 2023 catalog, which demonstrates the shared strengths of Columbia University Press and Columbia University itself. In these books, Columbia authors build on distinguished careers to share important ideas with readers everywhere.

This season, we are excited to introduce two vital new series. Black Lives in the Diaspora: Past / Present / Future (pp. 12-13), published in partnership with Howard University, offers timely and rigorous books in a number of fields that together illuminate the diversity of Black experiences. Core Knowledge (pp. 14-15) presents lively, short books by experienced scholar-teachers—debuting with Gareth Williams, Philip Kitcher, and Susan J. Wolfson—on canonical works in the spirit of Columbia’s Core Curriculum, for all readers interested in the essential works of Western culture, no matter where they spent their undergraduate years.

This catalog features career-defining works by leading Columbia scholars. Bernard E. Harcourt’s Cooperation (p. 1) is a bold and definitive statement of a new and profound political theory. In Think Bigger (p. 2), Sheena Iyengar provides tools for generating big ideas and making big decisions. Edmund Phelps, a Nobel laureate, explores the human side of economics in My Journeys in Economic Theory (p. 10). Major Columbia figures sum up their work for students, practitioners, and all interested readers: Rafael Yuste on neuroscience (p. 51), Steven Cohen on sustainability (p. 51), and Glenn Denning on food security (p. 55)

We welcome returning authors including Leigh Gilmore (p. 6), Catherine J. Turco (p. 7), and Enzo Traverso (p. 9), and we are also honored to announce that new distributed presses are joining us: ERIS, a London-based publisher of politics and philosophy (pp. 76-81), and Floating Opera Press, a Berlin-based publisher of art criticism and essays (pp. 99-101).

In order to publish these groundbreaking works, we rely on the Columbia University community, the broader university press community, and our readers. Thank you for helping support our books and our mission.

Cooperation A Political, Economic, and Social Theory

A

RALLYING CRY FOR A SOCIETY BASED ON THE PRINCIPLES OF COOPERATION

Liberal democracy is in crisis around the world. There is, however, another path—cooperation. Cooperation does not depend on electoral politics. Instead, it harnesses the long-standing practices and values of cooperatives: democratic participation, equity, solidarity, and respect for others and the environment. From consumer co-ops to credit unions, worker cooperatives to mutual aid, countless examples prove that people working together can extend the ideal of participatory democracy into every aspect of their lives.

Bernard E. Harcourt develops a transformative theory and practice that builds on worldwide models of successful cooperation. He identifies the most promising forms of cooperative initiatives and then distills their lessons into an integrated framework: Coöperism. This is a political theory grounded on recognition of our interdependence. It is also an economic theory that can ensure equitable distribution of wealth. Finally, it is a social theory that supplies an alternative to punishment. A creative work of normative critical theory, Cooperation provides a positive vision for addressing our most urgent challenges today. Harcourt shows that by drawing on the core values of cooperation and the power of people working together, a new world of cooperation democracy is within our grasp.

BERNARD E. HARCOURT is the Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law and professor of political science at Columbia University and a chaired professor at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris. An editor of Michel Foucault’s work in French and English, Harcourt is the author of several books, including Critique and Praxis (Columbia, 2020). He is a social justice litigator and the recipient of the 2019 Norman Redlich Capital Defense Distinguished Service Award from the New York City Bar Association for his longtime representation of death row prisoners.

“

Cooperation provides the reader with an important tour of major questions we are faced with today as we try to undo mass criminalization and build a more just society. Harcourt’s refusal of dichotomies of race and class struggles, or projects to remake the prison or the economy, are inspiring. He develops a truly intersectional framework in a way that others could learn from.”

Think Bigger

How to Innovate

SHEENA IYENGAR

A NEW WAY OF CREATIVE THINKING FROM THE GROUND UP

In Think Bigger, Sheena Iyengar—an acclaimed author and expert in the science of choice—answers a timeless question with enormous implications for problems of all kinds across the world: “How can I get my best ideas?”

Iyengar provides essential tools to spark creative thinking and help us make our most meaningful choices. She draws from recent advances in neuro- and cognitive sciences to give readers a set of practical steps for coming up with powerful new ideas. Think Bigger offers an innovative evidencebacked method for generating big ideas that Iyengar and her team of researchers developed and refined over the last decade.

For anyone looking to innovate, the black box of creativity is a mystery no longer. Think Bigger upends the myth that big ideas are reserved for a select few. By using this method as a guide to creative thinking, anybody can produce revolutionary ideas.

SHEENA IYENGAR is the S. T. Lee Professor of Business in the Management Department at Columbia Business School and the bestselling author of The Art of Choosing (2010). She is a leading expert on the study of innovation, choice, leadership, and creativity and regularly consults with a range of organizations on methods for innovation.

Spoiled The Myth of Milk as Superfood

Why is cows’ milk, which few nonwhite people can digest, promoted as a science-backed dietary necessity in countries where the majority of the population is lactose-intolerant? Why are gigantic new dairy farms permitted to deplete the sparse water resources of desert ecosystems? Why do thousands of U.S. dairy farmers every year give up after struggling to recoup production costs against plummeting wholesale prices?

Exploring these questions and many more, Spoiled is an unflinching and meticulous critique of the glorification of fluid milk and its alleged universal benefits. Anne Mendelson’s groundbreaking book chronicles the story of milk from the Stone Age peoples who first domesticated cows, goats, and sheep to today’s troubled dairy industry. Spoiled shows that drinking fresh milk was rare until Western scientific experts who were unaware of genetic differences in the ability to digest lactose deemed it superior to traditional fermented dairy products. Their flawed beliefs fueled the growth of a massive and environmentally devastating industry that turned milk into a cheap, ubiquitous commodity.

Mendelson’s wide-ranging account also examines the consequences of homogenization and refrigeration technologies, the toll that modern farming takes on dairy cows, and changing perceptions of raw milk since the advent of pasteurization. Unraveling the myths and misconceptions that prop up the dairy industry, Spoiled calls for more sustainable, healthful futures in our relationship with milk and the animals that provide it.

ANNE MENDELSON is a culinary historian and freelance writer specializing in food-related subjects. Her most recent book is Chow Chop Suey: Food and the Chinese American Journey (Columbia, 2016).

“A graceful, gently humorous account of the years of persuasion, breeding, engineering, and politicking required to convince Americans that liquid cow’s milk was nature’s perfect food. You won’t look at those milk bottles in the supermarket in the same way again.”

“The China beat is one of the toughest in journalism—and one of the most important. In Assignment China, Mike Chinoy has created a remarkable oral history of multiple generations of China correspondents, providing insight beyond the headlines and introducing readers to the committed, compassionate, and colorful people who have covered China for the American media.

Assignment China

An Oral History of American Journalists in the People’s Republic

PERSONAL STORIES FROM 75 YEARS OF AMERICAN REPORTING ON CHINA

Reporting on China has long been one of the most challenging and crucial of journalistic assignments. Foreign correspondents have confronted war, revolution, isolation, internal upheaval, and onerous government restrictions as well as barriers of language, culture, and politics. Nonetheless, American media coverage of China has profoundly influenced U.S. government policy and shaped public opinion not only domestically but also, given the clout and reach of U.S. news organizations, around the world. This book tells the story of how American journalists have covered China—from the civil war of the 1940s through the COVID-19 pandemic—in their own words. Mike Chinoy assembles a remarkable collection of personal accounts from eminent journalists, including Stanley Karnow, Seymour Topping, Barbara Walters, Dan Rather, Melinda Liu, Nicholas Kristof, Joseph Kahn, Evan Osnos, David Barboza, Amy Qin, and Megha Rajagopalan, among dozens of others. They share behind-thescenes stories of reporting on historic moments such as Richard Nixon’s groundbreaking visit in 1972, China’s opening up to the outside world and its emergence as a global superpower, and the crackdowns in Tiananmen Square and Xinjiang. Journalists detail the challenges of covering a complex and secretive society and offer insight into eight decades of tumultuous political, economic, and social change.

I Have No Enemies

The Life and Legacy of Liu Xiaobo

Late one night in December 2008, police arrived at the home of Liu Xiaobo—China’s leading dissident, a key figure in the prodemocracy manifesto Charter 08—and took him away. When Liu won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize as a political prisoner, the award was bestowed on an empty chair. Inside China, the regime sought to erase every trace of his existence. Liu died of liver cancer in 2017 without ever having been allowed to return home.

I Have No Enemies is the definitive biography of Liu Xiaobo, offering a meticulously researched account of the twists and turns of a remarkable life. Perry Link and Wu Dazhi explore Liu’s upbringing, immersion in classical Chinese poetry and philosophy, bold challenges to literary conformity, and involvement in democratic movements. They trace the lifelong evolution of his thinking and chronicle his persecution, incarceration, and death.

I Have No Enemies emphasizes Liu’s principled commitment to dissent and the significance of the example he set in China and around the world. Liu was a far-sighted strategist whose credo was “changing a regime by changing a society.” In Tiananmen Square, he showed others how to face down armed soldiers; in daily life, he looked for ways to build a more democratic culture. A powerful record of Liu’s life and times, this book also tells the story of a generation of Chinese intellectuals who sought a better way forward.

PERRY LINK is professor emeritus of East Asian studies at Princeton University and teaches at the University of California, Riverside. He has written widely on modern Chinese language, literature, popular culture, and political dissent.

WU DAZHI is a longtime friend of Liu Xiaobo.

“This is sure to be the work of reference on Liu Xiaobo for many years to come. It is meticulously researched, drawing on unequaled access to sources close to Liu Xiaobo as well as a vast body of references that derive from deep familiarity with China’s intellectual scene over the last fifty years.”

BIOGRAPHY

“Leigh Gilmore writes with compelling authority about the sizable contribution that narrative expression makes to our understanding of justice. Through feminist analysis of the history of survivor narrative activism, The #MeToo Effect demonstrates how victims and survivors have exposed the bias in traditional fact-finding processes. Gilmore reminds us that diverse trauma sufferers’ public storytelling is neither new nor novel, but is, indeed, a long-standing tradition that pushes society closer to the truth.”

—Anita Hill, author of Believing: Our ThirtyYear Journey to End Gender Violence

The #MeToo Effect What Happens When We Believe Women

HOW #METOO TRANSFORMED THE RESPONSE TO ACCOUNTS OF SEXUAL ABUSE

The #MeToo movement inspired millions to testify to the widespread experience of sexual violence. More broadly, it shifted the deeply ingrained response to women’s accounts of sexual violence from doubting all of them to believing some of them. What changed?

Leigh Gilmore provides a new account of #MeToo that reveals how storytelling by survivors propelled the call for sexual justice beyond courts and highprofile cases. At a time when the cultural conversation was fixated on appeals to legal and bureaucratic systems, narrative activism—storytelling in the service of social change—elevated survivors as authorities. Their testimony fused credibility and accountability into the #MeToo effect: uniting millions of separate accounts into an existential demand for sexual justice and the right to be heard.

Gilmore reframes #MeToo as a breakthrough moment within a longer history of feminist thought and activism. She analyzes the centrality of autobiographical storytelling in intersectional and antirape activism and traces literary representations of sexual violence dating from antiquity. By focusing on the intersectional prehistory of #MeToo, Gilmore sheds light on how survivors have used narrative to frame sexual violence as an urgent problem requiring structural solutions in diverse global contexts. Considering the roles of literature and literary criticism in movements for social change, The #MeToo Effect demonstrates how “reading like a survivor” provides resources for activism.

LEIGH GILMORE is a visiting professor of English at the Ohio State University. She is the author of Tainted Witness: Why We Doubt What Women Say About Their Lives (Columbia, 2017); The Limits of Autobiography: Trauma and Testimony (second edition, 2023); and Autobiographics: A Feminist Theory of Women’s Self-Representation (1994).

Harvard Square A Love Story

“Harvard Square isn’t what it used to be.” Spend any time there, and you’re bound to hear that lament. Yet people have been saying the very same thing for well over a century. So what does it really mean that Harvard Square—or any other beloved Main Street or downtown—“isn’t what it used to be”?

Catherine J. Turco, an economic sociologist and longtime denizen of Harvard Square, dives into the Square’s past and present to explore why we love our local marketplaces and why we so often struggle with changes in them. She introduces readers to a compelling set of characters, including the early twentieth-century businessmen who bonded over scotch and cigars to found the Harvard Square Business Association; a feisty, frugal landlady who became one of the Square’s most powerful property owners in the mid-1900s; a neighborhood group calling itself the Harvard Square Defense Fund that declared real estate developers their enemy; and a local businesswoman who strove to keep her shop afloat amid the rise of Amazon and a globalizing property market that sent her rent soaring.

Harvard Square tells the story of one quirky little marketplace and in the process, reveals the hidden love story Americans everywhere have long had with their own Main Streets and downtowns. Offering a new and powerful lens, Turco transforms how we think about our cherished local marketplaces and markets in general.

CATHERINE J. TURCO is an economic sociologist and the author of The Conversational Firm: Rethinking Bureaucracy in the Age of Social Media (Columbia, 2016). She teaches at the MIT Sloan School of Management, where she is the Michael M. Koerner (1949) Professor of Entrepreneurship and associate professor of technological innovation, entrepreneurship, and strategy. She lives in Harvard Square with her husband, Philip, and their dog, Winona.

“Turco brings a novelist’s subtle sense of character, place, and pacing to an incisive, truly new consideration of a universal, though often invisible, fact of life: how we relate to where we live. And, on a deeper level, how we relate to change. Turco is a twenty-first-century Jane Jacobs; her intellect, compassion, and commitment come through on each page.”

WHY IT SEEMS LIKE OUR LOCAL DOWNTOWNS ARE NEVER AS GOOD AS THEY USED TO BE

“Against Happiness moves beyond the one-dimensional and reductionist approaches that have hitherto limited our understanding of happiness to narrow aspects or have obliterated non-Western, nonwhite, and marginalized experiences of wellbeing. The authors persuasively outline shortcomings of definitions of happiness across different disciplines and different cultural philosophical traditions, a crucial step for investigating more accurate, inclusive, and expansive definitions of happiness in the future.”

WHY WE SHOULD PURSUE JUSTICE, NOT HAPPINESS

The “happiness agenda” is a worldwide movement that claims that happiness is the highest good, happiness can be measured, and public policy should promote happiness. Against Happiness is a thorough and powerful critique of this program, revealing the flaws of its concept of happiness and advocating a renewed focus on equality and justice. Written by an interdisciplinary team of authors, this book provides both theoretical and empirical analysis of the limitations of the happiness agenda. The authors emphasize that this movement draws on a parochial, Western-centric philosophical basis and demographic sample. Furthermore, the ideas promoted by the happiness agenda can compete with rights, justice, sustainability, and equality— and even conceal racial and gender injustice.

Singular Pasts

The “I” in Historiography ENZO

HOW

HAS BECOME SUBJECTIVE

Today, history is increasingly written in the first person. A growing number of historical works include an autobiographical dimension, as if writing about the past required exploring the inner life of the author. Neither traditional history nor autobiography, this hybrid genre calls the norms of the historical profession into question. In search of new paths, it transgresses a cardinal rule of the discipline: third-person narration, long considered necessary to the objective analysis of the past.

Singular Pasts offers a critical account of the emergence of authorial subjectivity in historical writing, scrutinizing both its achievements and its shortcomings. Enzo Traverso considers a group of contemporary historians, including Ivan Jablonka, Sergio Luzzatto, and Mark Mazower, who reveal their emotional ties to their subjects and give their writing a literary flavor. He identifies a parallel trend in literature, in which authors such as W. G. Sebald, Patrick Modiano, Javier Cercas, and Daniel Mendelsohn write their works as investigations based on archival sources. Traverso argues that firstperson history is presentist and apolitical, perceiving and representing the past through an individual lens. Probing the limits of subjective historiography, he emphasizes that it is collective action that produces social change: “we” instead of “I.” In an epilogue, Traverso considers the first-person writing of Saidiya Hartman as a counterexample. A wideranging and illuminating critique of a key trend in humanistic inquiry, Singular Pasts reconsiders the notion of historical truth in a neoliberal age.

ENZO TRAVERSO is the Susan and Barton Winokur Professor of the Humanities at Cornell University. His recent books include Revolution: An Intellectual History (2021); Left-Wing Melancholia: Marxism, History, and Memory (Columbia, 2017); and Fire and Blood: The European Civil War, 1914–1945 (2016).

“How do historians place themselves in history? Should the historical be personal? With his familiar acuity of vision, breadth of erudition, and generosity of thought, Enzo Traverso supplies a rich array of answers to these abiding questions—usually boundary-crossing, sometimes surprising, always grounded in a carefully considered politics of knowledge.”

“Phelps is a crown jewel of the economics profession. A scholar of striking originality, he also possessed the persistence and eloquence to get his unorthodox ideas across. This memoir shows vividly how he managed to do that.”

—Eric Maskin, Nobel laureate in economics

My Journeys in Economic Theory

EDMUND PHELPS

A NOBEL LAUREATE ON HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO ECONOMICS

Edmund Phelps is among the most important economists of his generation. He developed a new understanding of unemployment and inflation and went on to rethink the roots of innovation. His work represents a lifelong project to put “people as we know them” into economic theory.

In this book, Phelps tells the story of his role in reshaping economic theory, offering a powerful personal account of a creative and rewarding career. My Journeys in Economic Theory charts two major phases of Phelps’s work, illuminating the breadth of his contributions to the field. First, he built the microeconomic foundations for the employment theory introduced by Keynes and Hicks. More recently, he conceived a theory of “mass flourishing” superseding Schumpeter and Solow’s analysis of growth—a theory in which individuals’ creativity and society’s dynamism fuel both grassroots innovation and job satisfaction.

Phelps recounts his vivid experiences in the world of economics—fierce arguments, competition and collaboration, and the good fortune of time spent among some great figures—as well as his relationships with other luminaries such as John Rawls, Thomas Nagel, Paul Samuelson, and Paul Volcker. At its core, this book shares the joy of intellectual achievement: the excitement of coming up with a new idea that radically departs from prevailing views and the satisfaction of exercising one’s own ingenuity instead of applying or developing others’ models. Telling the story of a life packed with intellectual adventure, this book offers a profound vision of a dynamic, modern economy that delivers lives rich with creativity and meaning.

Data Money

Inside Cryptocurrencies, Their Communities, Markets, and Blockchains

WHAT IS CRYPTOCURRENCY AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?

The cryptocurrency world has transformed in a few short years from a niche subculture to a parallel economic universe, reaching a market capitalization of more than $2.5 trillion in 2021 before plummeting in 2022. For their advocates, cryptocurrencies represent a revolution of world-historical significance. To critics, crypto is more of a speculative tool than a true currency. What forces give cryptocurrencies their value—or take it away? And what does crypto’s spectacular ascent reveal about the nature of money?

In this groundbreaking ethnographic analysis of crypto economies, global markets, and communities, Koray Caliskan offers an inside view of how cryptocurrencies are made and traded. He argues that cryptocurrency should be understood as “data money,” a historically novel money type, created as the right to send data privately over an accounting infrastructure called blockchain. Drawing on two years of fieldwork among global cryptocurrency communities and in crypto markets, Caliskan makes visible the production principles of cryptocurrencies and explores how crypto exchanges work from within. He explains why and how we have been misunderstanding, underregulating, and improperly taxing crypto exchanges and actors. He also proposes a radically new way to make sense of new finance and its actors. An invaluable book for all readers seeking to understand cryptocurrency, Data Money sheds new light on a profound transformation of finance and its possible future trajectories.

KORAY CALISKAN is associate professor of strategic design and management at Parsons School of Design, The New School. He is the author of Market Threads: How Cotton Farmers and Traders Create a Global Commodity (2010). Caliskan’s research on which this book was based was selected as a winner of the Breakthrough of the Year 2021 in Social Sciences and Humanities by the Falling Walls Foundation.

“Data Money is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the new world of cryptocurrencies. Caliskan has a genuine insider’s understanding of that world and writes about it with verve and insight. His book is a vitally important contribution by one of the most exciting scholars in the new generation of economic sociologists.”

—Ollie A Johnson III, coeditor of Comparative Racial Politics in Latin America

Poor Black women who benefit from social welfare are marginalized in a number of ways by interlocking systemic racism, sexism, and classism. Gladys L. Mitchell-Walthour offers a comparative analysis of how Black women social welfare beneficiaries in Brazil and the United States defy systems of domination. She argues that poor Black women act as political subjects in the struggle to survive and challenge daily discrimination even in dire circumstances. The Politics of Survival confronts the persistent invisibility of poor Black women by foregrounding their experiences and voices.

Turn the World Upside Down

Empire and Unruly Forms of Black Folk Culture in the U.S. and Caribbean

IMANI D. OWENS

“Original and compelling, Turn the World Upside Down invests in and expands Black diaspora studies, displays stunning archival research, and highlights heretofore unseen connections and underread texts next to highly known figures in the field.”

—Samantha Pinto, author of Infamous Bodies: Early Black Women’s Celebrity and the Afterlives of Rights

Imani D. Owens recasts Black creators’ relationship to folk culture, emphasizing their formal and stylistic innovations and experiments in self-invention that reach beyond the local to the world. Drawing on a transnational and multilingual archive—from Harlem to Havana, from the Panama Canal Zone to Port-au-Prince—she considers a range of works that reveal how Black people contribute to the stirrings of modernity while being excluded from its promises.

CORE KNOWLEDGE

Core Knowledge takes its motivation from the goals, ideals, challenges, and pleasures of Columbia College’s Core Curriculum. The aim is to capture the intellectual energy and the stimulus to creative thinking that is a fundamental ideal of such courses as Literature Humanities and Contemporary Civilization. In the spirit of Core teaching, the books are intended to reflect on what the featured works can be if approached from different or unusual vantage points; how they may inform modern experience; and how they are to be viewed not as sources of plain fact, certainty, and assured beliefs but as provocations to the imagination that help us to see differently, experimentally, and with a spirit of intellectual adventure.

On Ovid’s Metamorphoses

Ovid’s Metamorphoses has entranced audiences for two thousand years, from Rome under Augustus to humanities classrooms today. Borrowing liberally from Greek and Roman mythology, the poem tells hundreds of stories that share one essential theme: each tale depicts a transformation from one physical form into another.

“Smart close readings abound, and Williams’s punchy analyses make the book fun to read, though they never obscure his mastery of the subject.”

Publishers Weekly

Drawing on many years of teaching the Metamorphoses, Gareth Williams offers a brisk and lively reading of the poem that emphasizes why it speaks in compelling ways to a twenty-first-century audience. He shows how the Metamorphoses is not just a colorful collection of stories about change but an exploration of change itself. Ovid challenges us to recognize flux as fundamental to human experience: circumstances shift, fortunes ebb and flow, and our very identities ceaselessly evolve across from one life stage to another.

Capturing the energy and excitement that Ovid’s poem generates among readers, Williams also sheds new light on its modern provocations. His fresh interpretations of the Metamorphoses reveal its power to enrich and inform our daily existence amid the uncertainties of life today.

On John Stuart Mill

PHILIP KITCHER

“Kitcher eloquently presents a flexible, pragmatic Mill, a Mill whose main concerns are each person’s self-cultivation, both intellectual and emotional, and the bonds of public deliberation that link people to one another. Using down-to-earth examples, he then shows how this Mill can confront many of the key problems of our era. A deeply impressive achievement.”

—Martha C Nussbaum, University of Chicago

John Stuart Mill expressed many of the central tenets of liberalism with unsurpassed clarity and enduring influence. Yet Mill’s apparent victory in the marketplace of ideas has numbed us to the power of his arguments. Sharing insights from teaching Mill for many years, the eminent philosopher Philip Kitcher makes a cogent case for why we should read this nineteenth-century thinker now. He portrays Mill as a conflicted humanist who wrestled with problems that are equally urgent in our own time.

Every Brain Needs Music

The Neuroscience of Making and Listening to Music

With illustrations by Susi B. Davis

WHY NEUROSCIENCE DEEPENS OUR UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC

Whenever a person engages with music—when a piano student practices a scale, a jazz saxophonist riffs on a melody, a teenager sobs to a sad song, or a wedding guest gets down on the dance floor— countless neurons are firing. Playing an instrument requires all of the resources of the nervous system including cognitive, sensory, and motor functions. Composition and improvisation are remarkable demonstrations of the brain’s capacity for creativity. Something as seemingly simple as listening to a tune involves mental faculties most of us don’t even realize we have.

Larry S. Sherman, a neuroscientist and lifelong musician, and Dennis Plies, a professional musician and teacher, collaborate to show how our brains and music work in harmony. They consider music in all the ways we encounter it—teaching, learning, practicing, listening, composing, improvising, and performing—in terms of neuroscience as well as music pedagogy, showing how the brain functions and even changes in the process.

Written for both musical and nonmusical people, including newcomers to brain science, this book is a lively and easy-to-read exploration of the neuroscience of music and its significance in our lives.

LARRY S. SHERMAN is a professor of neuroscience at the Oregon Health and Science University. An enthusiastic piano player since age four, he has published widely on brain development, aging, and disease, and given lectures on music and the brain throughout the world.

The Curious History of the Heart A Cultural and Scientific Journey

A BROAD LOOK AT THE SCIENCE AND MEANING OF THE HEART THROUGHOUT HUMAN HISTORY

For much of recorded history, people considered the heart to be the most important organ in the body. In cultures around the world, the heart—not the brain—was believed to be the location of intelligence, memory, emotion, and the soul. Over time, views on the purpose of the heart have transformed as people sought to understand the life forces it contains. Modern medicine and science dismissed what was once the king of the organs as a mere blood pump subservient to the brain, yet the heart remains a potent symbol of love and health and an important part of our cultural iconography. This book traces the evolution of our understanding of the heart from the dawn of civilization to the present. Vincent M. Figueredo—an accomplished cardiologist and expert on the history of the human heart—explores the role and significance of the heart in art, culture, religion, philosophy, and science across time and place. He examines how the heart really works, its many meanings in our emotional and daily lives, and what cutting-edge science is teaching us about this remarkable organ. Figueredo considers the science of heart disease, recent advancements in heart therapies, and what the future may hold. He highlights the emerging field of neurocardiology, which has found evidence of a “heart-brain connection” in mental and physical health, suggesting that ancient views hold more truth than moderns suspect. Ranging widely and deeply throughout human history, this book sheds new light on why the heart remains so central to our sense of self.

VINCENT M. FIGUEREDO has been a practicing cardiologist and physician-scientist for thirty years. His experience spans academic medicine, medical research, teaching, private practice, and senior hospital administration, including as chair of cardiology and professor of medicine.

“Vincent Figueredo helps us to understand the heart as a cultural symbol, biological miracle, and central theme in human history. A tour de force of scholarship and storytelling, The Curious History of the Heart is a great read and an important one.” —Daniel Weiss, president and CEO, Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Octopus in the Parking Garage A Call for Climate Resilience

AN INTRODUCTION TO CLIMATE RESILIENCE AND A CALL TO ACTION

One morning in Miami Beach, an unexpected guest showed up in a luxury condominium complex’s parking garage: an octopus. The image quickly went viral. But the octopus—and the combination of infrastructure quirks and climate impacts that left it stranded—is more than a funny meme. It’s a potent symbol of the disruptions that a changing climate has already brought to our doorsteps and the ways we will have to adjust.

Rob Verchick examines how we can manage the risks that we can no longer avoid, laying out our options as we face climate breakdown. Although reducing carbon dioxide emissions is essential, we need to adapt to address the damage we have already caused. Verchick explores what resilience looks like on the ground, from early humans on the savannas to today’s shop owners and city planners. He takes the reader on a journey into the field: paddling through Louisiana’s bayous, hiking in one of the last refuges of Joshua trees in the Mojave Desert, and diving off Key Largo with citizen scientists working to restore coral reefs. The book emphasizes disadvantaged communities, which bear the brunt of environmental risk, arguing that building climate resilience is a necessary step toward justice. Engaging and accessible for nonexpert concerned citizens, this book empowers readers to face the climate crisis and shows what we can do to adapt and thrive.

ROB VERCHICK is a leading climate law scholar who designed and implemented climate-resilience policies in the Obama administration. He holds the Gauthier-St. Martin Chair in Environmental Law at Loyola University New Orleans, is a senior fellow in disaster resilience at Tulane University, and serves as president of the Center for Progressive Reform. Verchick is the author of four books and host of the podcast Connect the Dots

Climate Travels How Ecotourism Changes Mindsets and Motivates Action

Many accounts of climate change depict disasters striking faraway places: melting ice caps, fearsome hurricanes, all-consuming fires. How can seeing the consequences of human impacts up close help us grasp how global warming affects us and our neighbors? This book is a travelogue that spotlights what a changing climate looks like on the local level—for wherever local happens to be.

Michael M. Gunter, Jr. takes readers around the United States to bear witness to the many faces of the climate crisis. He argues that conscientious travel broadens understanding of climate change and makes its dangers concrete and immediate. Vivid vignettes explore the consequences for people and communities: sea level rise in Virginia, floods sweeping inland in Tennessee, Maine lobsters migrating away from American territorial waters, and imperiled ecosystems in national parks, from Alaskan permafrost to the Florida Keys. But Gunter finds inspiring initiatives to mitigate and adapt to these threats, including wind turbines in a tiny Texas town, green building construction in Kansas, and walkable urbanism in Portland, Oregon. These projects are already making a difference—and they underscore the importance of local action.

Drawing on interviews with government officials, industry leaders, and alternative energy activists, Climate Travels emphasizes direct personal experience and the centrality of environmental justice. Showing how travel can help bring the reality of climate change home, it offers readers a hopeful message about how to take action on the local level themselves.

MICHAEL M. GUNTER, JR. is a Cornell Distinguished Faculty Member and Arthur Vining Davis Fellow at Rollins College. His books include Tales of an Ecotourist: What Travel to Wild Places Can Teach Us About Climate Change (2018).

“Gunter’s work is thoroughly grounded in science and policy, combined with the appealing sense of a conversation. I really enjoyed reading Climate Travels, traveling to these different locales in such engaging and well-informed company.”

The Curious Human Knee

HAN YU

A COMPACT SCIENTIFIC AND CULTURAL HISTORY OF THE HUMAN KNEE

Where would we be without the knee? This downto-earth joint connecting the thigh and the lower leg doesn’t receive the attention it deserves. Yet, as The Curious Human Knee reveals, it is crucial to countless facets of science, medicine, culture, and history—and even what makes us human.

Science writer Han Yu provides an informative, surprising, and entertaining exploration of the human knee across time and place. She begins with our earliest ancestors, emphasizing that walking upright separates us from the apes and bipedal knees appeared long before big brains and sophisticated tools. Yu considers the intricate anatomy of the knee, its evolutionary history, and the complexity of treating knee pain, including her own. She examines why women’s knees might be more prone to damage than men’s and addresses the roles of race and class in ailments such as osteoarthritis. The book gets knee-deep into an astonishing range of topics— fashion from flappers to miniskirts and ripped jeans, cultural practices spanning Japanese knee walking and Thai boxing. Yu reflects on the symbolic power of kneeling from the imperial court in China to the football field in the United States and shows why the knee figures into so many social and political phenomena.

Distilling a vast amount of research in a style that is engaging, conversational, and even personal and witty, this book opens readers’ eyes to the complexity and significance of the humble knee.

HAN YU is a professor in the Department of English at Kansas State University, where she teaches scientific and technical communication. Her books include Mind Thief: The Story of Alzheimer’s (Columbia, 2021).

Attraction, Love, Sex

The Inside Story

HOW SCIENTISTS STUDY HUMAN SEXUALITY AND WHY

Sex may be the most powerful motivating force in our lives after hunger. It drives us to seek intimate contact with others and to form relationships that may be fleeting or lifelong, blissful or troubled. Yet many mysteries surround sex and sexuality: Why don’t we reproduce by virgin birth? Why does so much of our sexual behavior have nothing to do with reproduction? Why isn’t everyone heterosexual? How does the brain create sexual arousal? How do sexual kinks develop? Is porn harmful? What is the relationship between sex and love?

In Attraction, Love, Sex, the renowned scholar Simon LeVay introduces readers to a memorable cast of researchers trying to answer these questions and many more. A biologist dredges a New Zealand lake for asexual mud snails. Psychologists measure whether eating a good meal changes a man’s idea of female beauty. Physiologists probe orifices with miniature toilet plungers and place lovers in brain scanners. Geneticists reconstruct the sex crimes of Genghis Khan. Neuroscientists create mice whose sexual behavior can be switched on and off. A zoologist traps and releases 260,000 voles and launches a new science of love.

LeVay distills vast expertise on the biology and psychology of sex into an engaging and easy-tounderstand survey with scientific acumen, a critical eye, and a sense of humor. This book reveals how scientists are unraveling the secrets of sex and, in the process, shattering many traditional ideas and prejudices.

SIMON L e VAY is a neuroscientist and writer who has served on the faculties of Harvard Medical School and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. He is best known for his 1991 report documenting a difference in brain structure between gay and straight men. LeVay is author or coauthor of twelve books, including a leading textbook on human sexuality.

Storythinking

The New Science of Narrative Intelligence ANGUS FLETCHER

WHY NARRATIVE THINKING MAKES US SMARTER

THAN COMPUTERS

Every time we think ahead, we are crafting a story. Every daily plan—and every political vision, social movement, scientific hypothesis, business proposal, and technological breakthrough—starts with “What if?” Linking causes to effects, considering hypotheticals and counterfactuals, asking how other people will react: these are the essence of narrative. So why do we keep overlooking story’s importance to intelligence in favor of logic?

This book explains how and why our brains think in stories. Angus Fletcher, an expert in neuroscientific approaches to narrative, identifies this capacity as “storythinking.” He demonstrates that storythinking is fundamental to what makes us human. Artificial intelligence can perform symbolic logic, rational deduction, and mathematical calculation, but it is incapable of deliberating in narrative. Drawing on new research in neuroscience and narrative theory, Fletcher explores the nature of imagination, innovation, and creativity. He provides concise answers to big questions: How does storythinking work? Why did it evolve? How can it misfire? What problems can it solve?

Revealing the significance of storythinking from science to business to philosophy, this book also provides ways for readers to harness its power to script better tomorrows.

ANGUS FLETCHER is professor of story science at Ohio State University’s Project Narrative. His most recent book is Wonderworks: The 25 Most Powerful Inventions in the History of Literature (2021). His research has been published in journals such as Harvard Business Review and Annals of the New York Academy of Science

Freedom Reread

Few writers rankle like Jonathan Franzen. Despite his popular acclaim, robust sales, and august literary laurels, Franzen’s polarizing persona shares the spotlight with—and sometimes steals it from—his tragicomic novels of Midwestern family life.

In this reconsideration of Freedom (2010), L. Gibson explores the difficulty of coming to terms with Jonathan Franzen. Freedom Reread considers the author’s distinctive narrative technique in light of the contradictions for which he is renowned: widely read curmudgeon, tweeted-about luddite, self-proclaimed partisan of fiction who frequently announces the novel’s death. Bookended by autofictional forays into the process of—and resistance to—taking a definite stance on Franzen, this book places Freedom in conversation with a playful, idiosyncratic array of interlocutors, including Middlemarch and You’ve Got Mail, Amitav Ghosh on climate change and Susan Sontag on metaphor, speculative fiction and Succession. Avowedly ambivalent about Franzen, Gibson offers both a fresh appreciation of the author’s work and a searching critical analysis of his pronouncements on the novel’s fate. Wide-ranging and stylistically ambitious, Freedom Reread delivers an assured, artful inquiry into Franzen’s writing and public persona.

L. GIBSON (he/they) is a poet and critic whose publications include the book-length poem Misherit (2019).

“Gibson pushes past both eyerolling dismissals of Franzen and the uncritical accolades of Oprah and Time magazine and takes the novels seriously as complex, if flawed, works of fiction that inspire and reward immersive and close reading.”

—Briallen Hopper, author of Hard to Love: Essays and Confessions

“Franzen fanatics of the world, rejoice! Gibson gifts us not only an excellent study of Franzen’s Freedom but also a brilliantly ambivalent autofictional self-portrait that teaches us what it feels like to be trapped inside the event horizon of the literary singularity known as Jonathan Franzen.”

A

Novel

of 1867 Formosa

YAO-CHANG CHEN

Translated by Pao-fang Hsu, Ian Maxwell, and Tung-jung Chen

A TAIWANESE HISTORICAL NOVEL EMPHASIZING INDIGENOUS PEOPLE

In 1867, an American merchant ship, the Rover, sank off the coast of southern Taiwan. Fourteen sailors reached the shore, where almost all were killed by indigenous people. In retaliation, the United States launched two disastrous military operations against local tribes. Eventually, the U.S. consul to Amoy, Charles Le Gendre, negotiated a treaty with Tauketok, chief of the eighteen tribes of the area, that secured safe passage for shipwrecked sailors.

Yao-Chang Chen’s historical novel Puppet Flower retells the story of the Rover incident, bringing to light its pivotal role in Taiwanese history. Merging documented events and literary imagination, the novel vividly depicts Tauketok, Le Gendre, and other historical figures alongside the story of Butterfly, a young woman of mixed ethnic heritage who serves as an interpreter and mediator during the crisis. Chen deftly reconstructs the multiethnic and multilingual society of southern Taiwan in the second half of the nineteenth century from multiple perspectives, portraying local people’s daily struggles for survival and their interactions with Han Chinese settlers, Qing dynasty bureaucrats, and Western officials, tradesmen, and adventurers. The novel emphasizes the centrality of Taiwanese indigenous cultures to the island’s history.

A gripping work of historical fiction, Puppet Flower is a powerful revisionist narrative of a formative moment in Taiwan’s past. It was recently adapted into a popular Taiwanese TV miniseries, Seqalu: Formosa 1867.

The Narrow Cage and Other Modern Fairy Tales

Translated

Vasily Eroshenko was one of the most remarkable transnational literary figures of the early twentieth century: a blind multilingual Esperantist from Ukraine who joined left-wing circles in Japan and befriended the famous modernist writer Lu Xun in China. Born in a small Ukrainian village in imperial Russia, he was blinded at a young age by complications from measles. Seeking to escape the limitations imposed on the blind, Eroshenko became a globetrotting storyteller. He was well known in Japan and China as a social activist and a popular writer of political fairy tales that drew comparisons to Hans Christian Andersen and Oscar Wilde.

The Narrow Cage and Other Modern Fairy Tales presents a selection of Eroshenko’s stories, translated from Japanese and Esperanto. These fables tell the stories of a religiously disillusioned fish, a jealous paper lantern, a scholarly young mouse, a captive tiger who seeks to liberate his fellow animals, and many more. They are at once inventive and politically charged experiments with the fairy-tale genre and charming, lyrical stories that will captivate readers as much today as they did during Eroshenko’s lifetime.

VASILY EROSHENKO (1890–1952) was a blind writer, translator, activist, and teacher who led an extraordinarily global life. After studying in Moscow and London, Eroshenko traveled to Japan, where he found fame for his fairy tales and public speaking. Deported from Japan in 1921 for his connections to political activists, Eroshenko moved to China, where well-known writers like Lu Xun were translating his stories to wide acclaim. The final decades of his life were spent in the Soviet Union under Stalin, and he died in obscurity.

JACK ZIPES is a professor emeritus of German and comparative literature at the University of Minnesota.

“A marvel in every sense of the word. Kuplowsky’s translation is a masterful homage to a storyteller whose own journey holds all of the hope and despair the best fairy tales contain. Read this book!”

DVS Mindz

The Twenty-Year Saga of the Greatest Rap Group to Almost Make It Outta Kansas GEOFF

HARKNESS

TWO DECADES WITH A TOPEKA UNDERGROUND RAP GROUP

99.9% of aspiring rappers never make it in the music industry. So why do we only hear the stories of the ones that do?

DVS Mindz might be the greatest rap group you’ve never heard of. Formed in Topeka, Kansas, in the mid-1990s, they developed a reputation for ferocious rhyming and frenetic live performances. In their heyday, DVS Mindz released a critically acclaimed CD, received nominations for prestigious awards, and opened for legends such as Wu-Tang Clan, Run-DMC, and De La Soul as well as KC icon Tech N9ne. But the group struggled with creative differences, substance abuse, ego battles, and money issues, and they split up in 2003.

Geoff Harkness takes readers on a unique twodecade journey alongside the members of DVS Mindz, chronicling their childhoods, their brush with success, and what became of them in the years that followed. Based on more than one hundred hours of video and audio recordings from 1999 to 2022, this fly-on-the-wall account offers a backstage pass into the recording studios and radio stations, video shoots and house parties, nightclubs and concert halls of the Kansas City-Lawrence-Topeka music scene circa 2000. DVS Mindz is at once a compulsively readable group biography of four talented MCs, a vibrant voyage through the forgotten history of local hip-hop, and a breathtakingly real story of struggling to achieve big dreams.

American Deadline Reporting from Four News-Starved Towns in the Trump Era

GREG GLASSNER, CHARLES

HOW FOUR LOCAL JOURNALISTS COVERED THE TUMULT OF 2020

The dramatic events of 2020—the presidential election, the COVID-19 pandemic, protests for racial justice—affected every corner of American life. What did these events mean for the residents of small towns and cities that are often overlooked by national newspapers? How do local stories change when they are told by journalists with roots in these communities? And what is lost as this kind of coverage disappears?

American Deadline brings together dispatches from four longtime local journalists in different parts of the United States that tell the story of 2020 anew. It shares reporting from Bowling Green, Virginia; Macon, Georgia; McKeesport, Pennsylvania; and McAllen, Texas—two towns that lost their local newspapers and two where they are barely hanging on. This book reports on how residents of these towns grapple with and talk about issues relating to race, schooling, health, immigration, deindustrialization, as well as local and national politics amid a changing and increasingly precarious information ecosystem. A distinct and intimate look at a calamitous year, American Deadline is an important book for all readers interested in the possibilities and future of local journalism.

GREG GLASSNER has more than forty years of experience in the newspaper business, the majority of it as editor of community weeklies in Virginia, including the Herald-Progress in Ashland.

Cro-Magnon

The Story of the Last Ice Age People of Europe TRENTON HOLLIDAY

A FRESH INVESTIGATION OF THE EARLIEST ANATOMICALLY MODERN PEOPLE OF EUROPE

During the last Ice Age, Europe was a cold, dry place teeming with mammoths, woolly rhinoceroses, reindeer, bison, cave bears, cave hyenas, and cave lions. It was also the home of people physically indistinguishable from humans today, commonly known as the Cro-Magnons. Our knowledge of them comes from either their skeletons or the tools, art, and debris they left behind. This book tells the story of these dynamic and resilient people in light of recent scientific advances.

Trenton Holliday—a paleoanthropologist who has studied the Cro-Magnons for decades—explores questions such as: Where and when did anatomically modern humans first emerge? When did they reach Europe, and via what routes? How extensive or frequent were their interactions with Neandertals? What did Cro-Magnons look like? What did they eat, and how did they acquire their food? What can we learn about their lives from studying their skeletons? How did they deal with the glacial cold? What does their art tell us about them?

Holliday offers new insights into these ancient people from anthropological, archaeological, genetic, and geological perspectives. He also considers how the Cro-Magnons responded to Earth’s postglacial warming almost twelve thousand years ago, showing that how they dealt with climate change holds valuable lessons for us as we negotiate life on a rapidly warming planet.

Humans

Perspectives on Our Evolution from World Experts

LEADING

How did humanity evolve? And what does our evolutionary history tell us about what it means to be human? These questions are fundamental to our identity as individuals and as a species and to our relationship with the world. But there are almost as many answers to them as there are scientists who study these topics.

This book brings together more than a hundred top experts, who share their insights on the study of human evolution and what it means for understanding our past, present, and future. Sergio Almécija asks leading figures across paleontology, primatology, archaeology, genetics, and many other disciplines about their lives, their work, and the philosophical significance of human evolution. They reflect on questions that are both fun and profound: What set you down your career path? Are humans special? Where and when would you travel in a time machine? Does human evolution offer lessons for society? Is evolution compatible with spirituality and religion?

Humans features a remarkably accomplished cast of contributors, including Kay Behrensmeyer, Frans de Waal, Nina Jablonski, Richard Leakey, Robert Sapolsky, and Richard Wrangham. Together, they provide a refreshing, personable, engaging, crossdisciplinary, and thought-provoking exploration of different—even diametrically opposed—ideas about our nature and evolution, what makes humans unique, and what our future might hold. This book also offers practical suggestions for readers seeking to embark on a scientific career.

SERGIO ALMÉCIJA is a senior research scientist at the American Museum of Natural History.

Two Acres of Time

Unearthing the Ice Age at the Byron Dig

RICHARD S. LAUB

A COMPLETE PICTURE OF LIFE AT A SCIENTIFIC EXCAVATION PROJECT

In 1959, what appeared to be the bones of a mastodon were found in a western New York pasture. When researchers began to investigate further in the early 1980s, the site proved to hold far more. Known as the Hiscock Site, it contained an astonishingly rich trove of fossils and artifacts dating from the late Ice Age through the onset of European settlement.

For nearly three decades, work at the site—the “Byron Dig”—unearthed new evidence of changing fauna, flora, cultures, and environments over the past 13,000 years.

In Two Acres of Time, Richard S. Laub—the principal investigator of the project—tells the story of the Byron Dig. Recounting twenty-nine years of intensive excavation involving more than a thousand participants, he provides a comprehensive account of a working paleontological and archaeological field project and its contributions to our knowledge of the past. Laub explores how understanding of the site evolved through the years, the surprises that came to light along the way, and how contributions from numerous researchers helped achieve a fuller picture of the significance of the findings. The book shows how people from all walks of life—not only scientists but also volunteers and local small-town residents—worked together to unearth and interpret the site’s contents and to preserve them for future generations. This extensively illustrated book connects life at a scientific excavation project to the grand sweep of long-ago epochs and is a compelling read and resource for researchers and general readers alike.

RICHARD S. LAUB served as curator of geology at the Buffalo Museum of Science from 1973 to 2011, during which time he did occasional teaching at the University of Buffalo. He initiated and directed the Hiscock Site project from 1983 to 2011.

Soil to Foil

Aluminum and the Quest for Industrial Sustainability

THE STORY OF ALUMINUM TOLD THROUGH SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY AND INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION

Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust. It is also ubiquitous in the modern world, from aircraft to soda cans. A dizzying number of consumer and industrial products employ aluminum, typically alloyed, because of its availability, versatility, and malleability. Today, how efficiently we use—and reuse—aluminum products is vital to addressing environmental challenges.

Soil to Foil tells the extraordinary story of aluminum. Saleem H. Ali reveals its pivotal role in the histories of scientific inquiry and technological innovation as well as its importance to sustainability. He offers compelling portraits of the scientists and innovators who discovered new uses for this remarkable element, ranging from chemistry and geoscience to engineering and industrial design. Ali argues that aluminum exemplifies broader lessons about stewardship of nonrenewable resources: its seeming abundance has given rise to wasteful and destructive practices. Soil to Foil follows aluminum’s path along the supply chain, from extraction to production, consumption to recycling. Ali explores the ecological damage at mine sites and visits affected communities seeking to restore the land. He foregrounds the possibilities for more sustainable industrial practices, emphasizing how product design can incorporate eventual reuse and recycling. Ultimately, Soil to Foil shows that the story of aluminum’s use and misuse helps us rethink how to sustainably manage the resources of our planet.

SALEEM H. ALI is Blue and Gold Distinguished Professor of Energy and the Environment at the University of Delaware and a senior fellow at Columbia University’s Center on Sustainable Investment. He is a member of the United Nations International Resource Panel and the Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel of the Global Environment Facility. Ali’s books include Earthly Order: How Natural Laws Define Human Life (2022).

“

Soil to Foil shows the profound connections between the atomic properties of aluminum and the gigantic entanglements of the world we live in via economics, politics, environmental laws, science, technology, industrial design, advertising, and more.”

The Couch, the Clinic, and the Scanner Stories from Three Revolutionary Eras of the Mind

LITERARY ESSAYS ABOUT PSYCHIATRY’S DECADESLONG TRANSFORMATIONS

Over the past several decades, psychiatry has undergone radical changes. After its midcentury heyday, psychoanalysis gave way to a worldview guided by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, which precisely defined mental disorders and their treatments; more recently, this too has been displaced by a model inspired by neuroscience. Each of these three dominant models overturned the previous era’s assumptions, methods, treatment options, and goals. Each has its own definitions of health and disease, its own concepts of the mind. And each has offered clinicians and patients new possibilities as well as pitfalls.

David Hellerstein—a psychiatrist who has practiced in New York City since the early 1980s, working with patients, doing research, and helping run clinics and hospitals—provides a window into how the profession has transformed. In vivid stories and essays, he explores the lived experience of psychiatric work and the daunting challenges of healing the mind amid ever-changing theoretical models. Recounting his intellectual, clinical, and personal adventures, Hellerstein finds unexpected poetry in hallways and waiting rooms; encounters with patients who are by turns baffling, frustrating, and inspiring; and the advances of science. Drawing on narrative-medicine approaches, The Couch, the Clinic, and the Scanner offers a perceptive and eloquent portrayal of the practice of psychiatry as it has struggled to define and redefine itself.

Programmable Planet The Synthetic Biology Revolution

THE SCIENCE OF SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY AND THE STORIES OF THE RESEARCHERS CREATING IT

A new science is reengineering the fabric of life. Synthetic biology offers bold new ways of manufacturing medicines, clothing, foods, fragrances, and fuels, often using microbe fermentation, much like brewing beer. The technology can help confront climate change, break down industrial pollutants, and fight novel viruses. Today, researchers are manipulating life forms and automating evolution to create vegetarian “meat,” renewable construction materials, and cancer treatments. In the process, they are changing our concept of what life science can achieve. Is this a new industrial and information revolution—or dangerous tinkering that could unleash unintended consequences?

Programmable Planet is a grand tour through the world of synthetic biology, telling the stories of the colorful visionaries whose ideas are shaping discoveries. Ted Anton explores the field from its beginning in fighting malaria in Africa to the COVID vaccines and beyond. Covering medical and agricultural triumphs and blunders, he examines successes in energy production, plant gene editing, and chemical manufacturing, as well as the most controversial attempts at human gene enhancement. This book reports from the front lines of research, showing policy makers’ struggle to stay abreast of the technologies they aim to regulate. Evenhanded, lively, and informative, Programmable Planet gives a glimpse of the promise and problems of a new biology-based industry.

TED ANTON is professor of English at DePaul University. He is the author of several books, including The Longevity Seekers: Science, Business, and the Fountain of Youth (2013).

“In this rollicking compendium, Anton documents a huge number of ways synthetic biology can be used in practice, embedding these examples in the experiences of the people involved.”

Everyday Chemicals Understanding

the Risks

GERALD A. L e BLANC

HOW TO ASSESS WHETHER COMMON CHEMICALS ARE DANGEROUS

What is the likelihood that common chemicals such as bisphenol-A, which is found in plastic water bottles, are harming us? Should shoppers be concerned about pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables in the supermarket produce aisle? Are we risking adverse health effects when we use insect repellent that contains DEET or slather on sunscreen? Modern life requires us to navigate an endless sea of chemicals. How do we know whether we need to worry about them?

This book is a layperson’s guide to understanding chemical risk. The toxicologist Gerald A. LeBlanc offers a nontechnical overview of the key factors in evaluating whether exposure to chemicals in our daily lives could be harmful. He leads readers through the basic concepts of risk assessment using real-world examples. LeBlanc emphasizes that chemical hazard depends on the level of exposure and provides practical strategies for sensible decision making. The book features a series of accessible case studies describing how we all can reach rational conclusions about the danger of typical chemical exposures we experience every day. Giving nonexpert readers the tools to understand chemical risks, this book shows how critical thinking and science literacy can help us live with less fear and anxiety and make reasonable choices when confronted with potential hazards.

Critical Approaches to Science and Religion

HOW CRITICAL THEORY SHOULD INFORM THE STUDY OF THE INTERSECTION OF SCIENCE AND RELIGION

Critical Approaches to Science and Religion offers a new direction for scholarship on science and religion that examines social, political, and ecological concerns long part of the field but never properly centered. The works that make up this volume are not preoccupied with traditional philosophical or theological issues. Instead, the book draws on three vital schools of thought: critical race theory, feminist and queer theory, and postcolonial theory.

Featuring a diverse array of contributors, it develops critical perspectives by examining how histories of empire, slavery, colonialism, and patriarchy have shaped the many relationships between science and religion in the modern era. In so doing, this book lays the groundwork for scholars interested in speaking directly to matters such as climate change, structural racism, immigration, health care, reproductive justice, and sexual identity.

Vote Gun

How Gun Rights Became Politicized in the United States

HOW THE 1968 GUN CONTROL ACT BIRTHED OUR MODERN POLITICS OF FIREARMS

Today, gun control is one of the most polarizing topics in American politics. However, before the 1960s, positions on firearms rights did not necessarily map onto partisan affiliation. What explains this drastic shift?

Patrick J. Charles charts the rise of gun rights activism from the early twentieth century through the 1980 presidential election, pinpointing the role of the 1968 Gun Control Act. Gun rights advocates including the National Rifle Association had lobbied legislators for decades, but they had cast firearms control as a local issue. After the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 spurred congressional proposals to regulate firearms, gun rights advocates found common cause with states’ rights proponents opposed to civil rights legislation. Following the enactment of the Gun Control Act, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle began to stake out firm positions. Politicians including Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan recognized the potential of gun control as a wedge issue, and gun rights became increasingly tied to the Republican Party. Drawing on a vast range of archival evidence, Charles offers new insight into the evolution of the gun rights movement and how politicians responded to anti–gun control hardliners. He examines in detail how the National Rifle Association reinvented itself as well as how other advocacy groups challenged the NRA’s political monopoly. Offering a deep dive into the politicization of gun rights, Vote Gun reveals the origins of the acrimonious divisions that persist to this day.

American Eloquence

Language and Leadership in the Twentieth Century

What makes political speech powerful? How does eloquent rhetoric transcend ordinary language? Which stylistic choices allow effective orators to stir emotions and spur action? And in the age of Donald Trump, does political eloquence still matter?

This book examines a wide swath of political discourse to shed new light on the meaning and significance of eloquence. Roderick P. Hart, a leading scholar of political communication, develops new ways of measuring persuasiveness and rhetorical power through the use of computer-based methods. He examines one hundred of the most important speeches of the twentieth century, given by presidents and politicians as well as leaders, activists, and cultural figures including Martin Luther King Jr., Lou Gehrig, Mario Savio, Carrie Chapman Catt, and Stokely Carmichael.

Deploying the tools of the digital humanities as well as critical rhetorical analysis, Hart considers what distinguishes the linguistic properties of iconic oratory from those of more mundane texts. He argues that eloquence represents the confluence of cultural resonance, personal investment, and poetic imagination, providing empirical metrics for assessing each of these qualities. A quantitative and qualitative exploration of American political speech, this interdisciplinary book offers a powerful argument for why eloquence is essential for a functioning democracy.

RODERICK P. HART holds the Shivers Chair in Communication and is professor of government at the University of Texas at Austin. He is the author or editor of eighteen books, including most recently Trump and Us: What He Says and Why People Listen (2020) and Civic Hope: How Ordinary Americans Keep Democracy Alive (2018).

Illicit Monogamy

Inside a Fundamentalist Mormon Community WILLIAM R. JANKOWIAK

DAILY LIFE IN A POLYGAMOUS COMMUNITY

Angel Park is a Mormon fundamentalist polygamous community where plural marriages between one man and multiple women are common. In contrast to mainstream America’s idealization of the nuclear family and romantic love, its residents esteem notions of harmonious familial love, a spiritual bond that unites all family members. In their view, polygyny is not only righteous and sanctified—it is also conducive to communal life and social stability.

Drawing on many years of in-depth ethnographic research in Angel Park, William R. Jankowiak considers the plural family from the points of view of husbands, wives, and children, giving a balanced account of its complications and conflicts. He finds that people in polygynous marriages, especially cowives, experience an ongoing struggle to balance the longing for romantic intimacy with the obligation to support the larger family. They feel tension between deeply held religious convictions and the desire for emotional exclusivity, which can threaten the stability and harmony of the polygamous family. Men and women often form exclusive romantic pairs within plural marriages, which are tolerated if not openly acknowledged, showing the limits of the community’s beliefs. Jankowiak also challenges stereotypes of polygamous families as bastions of patriarchal power, showing the weight that interpersonal and social expectations place on men. Offering an unparalleled look at the complexity of a polygamous religious community, Illicit Monogamy also helps us reconsider relationships, love, and family dynamics across cultures and settings.

Energy and Environment in India

The Politics of a Chronic Crisis JOHANNES

India is driving some of the most important trends in global energy markets—with vast environmental implications. As the country grows wealthier, Indians are buying more cars, air conditioners, plane tickets, and other goods that increase demand for fossil fuels. At the same time, the country still faces widespread poverty, and it struggles to address persistent environmental and energy-sector problems, from frequent power outages to a significant number of deaths linked to air pollution.

Johannes Urpelainen provides an expert guide to India’s energy and environmental issues that incorporates both domestic and global perspectives. He details how unequal economic development and rapid population growth have brought the country to its current state: a potential engine of the world economy hampered by environmental hazards and energy poverty. Urpelainen argues that institutional shortcomings have led wealthier Indians to find private solutions that protect them from threats such as air pollution and heat waves, but exclude the poor. The retreat of the rich limits the state’s ability to regulate the energy sector or address environmental degradation. Urpelainen analyzes India’s role in global environmental politics and assesses the prospects of achieving a more sustainable society, considering how climate disruptions are affecting the country’s present and future. Useful and accessible, this book also offers pragmatic solutions to help overcome the constraints on effective energy and environmental policy.

JOHANNES URPELAINEN is the Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Professor of Energy, Resources, and Environment at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and the founding director of the Initiative for Sustainable Energy Policy. His recent books include Global Environmental Politics: The Transformative Role of Emerging Economies (Columbia, 2022).

“Urpelainen provides a social and historical context for the development of India’s environment and energy policy since independence. Not many books do this in an approachable manner, and hence Energy and Environment in India is a welcome intervention.

Leibnizing

A Philosopher in Motion RICHARD HALPERN

Why read Leibniz today? Can we still learn from him and not just about him? This book argues that Leibniz offers a powerful, productive model for transdisciplinary thinking that can push back against the narrowness of the humanities today.

Richard Halpern recasts Leibniz as a great writer as well as a great philosopher, demonstrating that his philosophical project cannot be fully understood without taking its literary elements into account. He shows Leibniz to be a prescient thinker about art and beauty whose insights into the relationship between aesthetic experience and thought remain invaluable. Leibnizing asks readers to follow the dynamic movement of Leibniz’s writing instead of attempting to grasp a static philosophical system and to pay careful attention to the rhetorical and stylistic registers of Leibniz’s work as well as its conceptual and logical dimensions.

For philosophers, this book offers a novel approach to reading and interpreting Leibniz. For literary and other theorists, it showcases the relevance of Leibniz’s thought to areas from aesthetics to politics, from metaphysics to computer science. Written in a lucid and even witty style, Leibnizing provides readers with an accessible entryway into Leibniz’s sometimes forbidding but ultimately rewarding philosophical vision.

RICHARD HALPERN is the author of six books on topics ranging from Shakespeare to Norman Rockwell. At his retirement, he was Erich Maria Remarque Professor of Literature at New York University.

Death of a Discipline Twentieth Anniversary Edition

A RECONCEPTUALIZATION OF COMPARATIVE WORLD

Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak is among the foremost figures in the study of world literature and its cultural consequences of the past half-century. In this book, originally published in 2003, she declares the death of comparative literature as we know it and sounds an urgent call for a “new comparative literature”—one that is not appropriated and determined by the market. Spivak examines how comparative literature and world literature in translation have fared in the era of globalization and considers how to protect the multiplicity of languages and literatures at the university. She demonstrates why critics interested in social justice should pay close attention to literary form and offers insightful interpretations of classics such as Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own. Through close readings of texts not only in English, French, and German but also in Arabic and Bengali, Spivak practices what she preaches.

This anniversary edition features a preface in which Spivak reflects on the fortunes of comparative literature in the intervening years and its tasks today.

GAYATRI CHAKRAVORTY SPIVAK is University Professor in the Humanities and a founding member of the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society at Columbia University. Her many books include A Critique of Postcolonial Reason: Toward a History of the Vanishing Present (1999) and An Aesthetic Education in the Age of Globalization (2012). She is also the translator of Jacques Derrida’s Of Grammatology and several works by Mahasweta Devi.

Praise for the first edition:

“Death of a Discipline is a visionary text. . . . One of the most cuttingedge theoretical works today.”

Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism “One of the obligatory books of this decade for comparatists. . . . [A] passionate defense . . . of comparative literature.”

“Tying together the wonderful history of Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway with the evolution of modern finance is a remarkable feat. Todd A. Finkle has done just that with this readable, up-to-the-minute book.”

—Adam J Mead, author of The Complete Financial History of Berkshire Hathaway, CEO/chief investment officer, Mead Capital Management

Warren Buffett Investor and Entrepreneur

Warren Buffett is perhaps the most accomplished investor of all time. The CEO and chair of Berkshire Hathaway has earned admiration for not only his financial feats but also the philosophy behind them. Todd A. Finkle provides striking new insights into Buffett’s career through the lens of entrepreneurship. This book demonstrates that although Buffett is thought of primarily as an investor, one of the secrets to his success has been running Berkshire as an entrepreneur.

Finkle—a Buffett family friend—shares his perspective on Buffett’s early life and business ventures. The book traces the entrepreneurial paths that shaped Buffett’s career, from selling gum door-to-door during childhood to forming Berkshire Hathaway and developing it into a global conglomerate through the imaginative deployment of financial instruments and creative deal making. Finkle considers Buffett’s investment methodology, management strategy, and personal philosophy on building a rewarding life in terms of entrepreneurship. He also zeros in on Buffett’s longtime business partner Charlie Munger and his contributions to Berkshire’s success. Finkle draws key lessons from Buffett’s mistakes as well as his successes, using these failures to explore the ways behavioral biases can affect investors and how to overcome them.

By viewing Buffett as an entrepreneur, this book offers readers a fresh take on one of the world’s best-known financial titans.

TODD A. FINKLE is the Pigott Professor of Entrepreneurship at Gonzaga University. He is also an investor, entrepreneur, speaker, and consultant who has worked with a wide range of organizations.

What I Learned About Investing from Darwin

The investment profession is in a state of crisis. The vast majority of equity fund managers are unable to beat the market over the long term, which has led to massive outflows from active funds to passive funds. Where should investors turn in search of a new approach?

Pulak Prasad offers a philosophy of patient longterm investing based on an unexpected source: evolutionary biology. He draws key lessons from core Darwinian concepts, mixing vivid examples from the natural world with compelling stories of good and bad investing decisions—including his own. How can bumblebees’ survival strategies help us accept that we might miss out on Tesla? What does an experiment in breeding tame foxes reveal about the traits of successful businesses? Why might a small frog’s mimicking the croak of a larger rival shed light on the signs of corporate dishonesty?

Informed by successful evolutionary strategies, Prasad outlines his counterintuitive principles for long-term gain. He provides three mantras of investing: avoid big risks; buy high quality at a fair price; and don’t be lazy—be very lazy. Prasad makes a persuasive case for a strategy that rules out the vast majority of investment opportunities and advocates permanently owning high-quality businesses. Combining punchy prose and practical insight, What I Learned About Investing from Darwin reveals why evolutionary biology can help fund managers become better at their craft.

PULAK PRASAD is the founder of Nalanda Capital, a Singapore-based firm that invests in listed Indian equities and manages about $5 billion. He was previously the cohead of India for Warburg Pincus, a global private equity firm, and worked at the management consulting firm McKinsey for several years.

“What

and concepts for those interested in disciplined, long-term investment. Prasad’s writing is engaging, charming, and stimulating.”

Reasons to Pass

A Guide to Making Fewer and Better Investments

WHY HUMILITY AND CAUTION BENEFIT INVESTORS IN THE LONG RUN

Confidence and conviction are the keys to success in asset management. Analysts projecting these traits become more likely candidates for promotion; clients gravitate to portfolio managers who radiate assurance about future performance. However, these qualities do a disservice to optimal decision making and long-term investment performance. The future is too complex to justify such levels of confidence.

In Reasons to Pass, the seasoned practitioner Ralph Birchmeier argues that an optimal portfoliobuilding strategy means patiently waiting for the few investments worthy of capital allocation. He outlines the principles required for success then examines specific reasons to pass on investments, detailing behavioral biases that disrupt optimal decision making. Although professional and retail investors alike are tempted by various opportunities, the wisdom of experience proves the value of prudence. An investing strategy built to last requires humility and the willingness to accept uncertainty; most of the time, it’s best to pass.

Reasons to Pass brings investing back to the basics, helping readers navigate the complexity of the financial landscape and bringing clarity to the investment process. By underscoring the perils of overconfidence and the importance of humility, this book offers invaluable new perspective on investing for the long term.

RALPH BIRCHMEIER was a CPA, became a CFA charterholder, and worked at Brandes Investment Partners LP as a global equity analyst and investment committee member for nearly twenty years, building global equity portfolios. Today, he is a private investor and guest lecturer on accounting, finance, and valuation.

The Limits of Tolerance

Enlightenment Values and Religious Fanaticism

DENIS LACORNE

Translated by C. Jon Delogu and Robin Emlein

“I simply don’t know a book on toleration that compares to this one. Lacorne has managed to weave together both an intellectual history of ideas about toleration and a wide-ranging international survey of policies related to it. Theory and practice come together in a very illuminating way and will expand the American reader’s horizon beyond our borders.”

—Mark Lilla, author of The Once and Future Liberal: After Identity Politics

Denis Lacorne traces the emergence of the modern notion of religious tolerance in order to rethink how we should respond to its contemporary tensions. While acknowledging that tolerance can never be entirely without limits, Lacorne defends the Enlightenment concept against recent attempts to circumscribe it, arguing that without it a pluralistic society cannot survive.

DENIS LACORNE is research professor emeritus with the CERI (Centre d’Etudes et de Recherches Internationales) at Sciences Po, Paris. His books in English include Religion in America: A Political History (Columbia, 2011).

Capitalism and Desire The Psychic Cost of Free Markets

TODD M c GOWAN

WINNER, 2017 AMERICAN BOARD AND ACADEMY OF PSYCHOANALYSIS BOOK PRIZE

“McGowan has produced a classic.” —Slavoj Žižek

Capitalism dominates, Todd McGowan argues, because it mimics the structure of our desire while hiding the trauma that the system inflicts. Its parasitic relationship to our desires gives it the illusion of corresponding to our natural impulses. Eloquent and enlivened by examples from film, television, consumer culture, and everyday life, Capitalism and Desire brings a new, psychoanalytically grounded approach to political and social theory.

TODD M c GOWAN is professor of film studies at the University of Vermont. His previous Columbia University Press books include The Impossible David Lynch (2007); Emancipation After Hegel: Achieving a Contradictory Revolution (2019); and Universality and Identity Politics (2020).

Open to Reason

Muslim Philosophers in Conversation with the Western Tradition

“This is a remarkable and interesting book. Open to Reason is tremendously valuable on two levels: first, as an account of the place of philosophy in Muslim history and, second, as a philosophical proposal of some depth and substance that could orient Muslims and others in understanding Islam today.”

—Charles Taylor, author of A Secular Age

Open to Reason traces Muslims’ long intellectual and spiritual history of questioning to show how Islamic philosophy has always engaged critically with texts and ideas both inside and outside its tradition. Through a rich reading of classical and modern Muslim philosophers, Souleymane Bachir Diagne explains their relevance to our own time.

SOULEYMANE BACHIR DIAGNE is a professor in the departments of French and philosophy at Columbia University. His books in English include African Art as Philosophy: Senghor, Bergson, and the Idea of Negritude (2011) and The Ink of the Scholars: Reflections on Philosophy in Africa (2016).

The Awakened

Ones

Phenomenology of Visionary Experience

GANANATH

“The Awakened Ones is Obeyesekere’s magnum opus, his summa, his valedictory volume, to use three Latinate terms that come down to, it’s a great big book into which he’s put all the wisdom of his long lifetime.”

—Wendy Doniger, Current Anthropology

While a rational consciousness grasps many truths, Gananath Obeyesekere argues that an even richer knowledge is possible through a bold confrontation with the stuff of visions and dreams. Spanning both Buddhist and European forms of visionary experience, he fearlessly pursues the symbolic, nonrational depths of such phenomena, reawakening the intuitive, creative impulses that power greater understanding.

GANANATH OBEYESEKERE is professor emeritus of anthropology at Princeton University. His many books include The Apotheosis of Captain Cook: European Mythmaking in the Pacific (1992) and Cannibal Talk: Man-Eating Myth and Human Sacrifice in the South Sea (2005).

In Her Own Name

The Politics of Women’s Rights Before Suffrage

“Chatfield tells a fascinating story about the trajectory of married women’s property reform. In doing so, she also contributes to a growing body of political science literature about the importance of understanding state-level political development.”

—Julie Novkov, author of American by Birth: Wong Kim Ark and the Battle for Citizenship

Long before American women had the right to vote, states dramatically transformed their status as economic citizens. In Her Own Name explores the origins and consequences of laws guaranteeing married women’s property rights, focusing on the people and institutions that shaped them. Sara Chatfield demonstrates that the motives of the male elites who expanded women’s rights included personal interests, benefits to the larger economy, and bolstering state power.

SARA CHATFIELD is assistant professor of political science at the University of Denver.

The Terrorism Trap How the War on Terror Escalates Violence in America’s Partner States

“Akins demonstrates how attempts to impose military solutions on the periphery of relatively weak postcolonial states with American help led to an evolving pattern of escalating domestic terror and counterterror violence.”

—David Martin Jones, coauthor of The Political Impossibility of Modern Counter-Insurgency

Harrison Akins reveals how the war on terror has led to the unintended consequence of increasing domestic terrorism in U.S. partner states. He examines U.S.-backed counterterrorism operations that targeted al-Qaeda in peripheral regions over which central governments held little control. These operations often provoked backlash from local terrorist groups, trapping governments in a cycle of violence.

HARRISON AKINS is a political scientist and writer based in Washington, DC, who holds a PhD from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. For more than a decade, he has been researching, writing, and advising on conflict, development, South Asian politics, and U.S. foreign policy from several positions within both academia and the U.S. government.

Delegated Diplomacy

How Ambassadors Establish Trust in International Relations

“In this outstanding book, Lindsey explains the crucial role that top diplomats play in international politics. A must-read for theorists and practitioners of international relations, Delegated Diplomacy shows how diplomats’ sympathies for the countries to which they are assigned add credibility to their communications on behalf of their states.”

—Anne Sartori, author of Deterrence by Diplomacy

David Lindsey develops a new theory of diplomacy that illuminates why states find ambassadors indispensable to effective intergovernmental interaction. He argues that the primary diplomatic challenge countries face is not simply communication—it is credibility. Diplomats can often communicate credibly with their host countries even when their superiors cannot. Delegated Diplomacy provides a rich and insightful account of the theory and practice of diplomacy in international relations.

War on the Ballot

How the Election Cycle Shapes Presidential Decision-Making in War

“Payne effectively demonstrates that domestic electoral politics does indeed affect presidential decisions, often decisively. He presents the argument in such a systematic and persuasive way that it will be very difficult to read his book and still see the recent American wars in the same light.”

—Thomas Alan Schwartz, author of Henry Kissinger and American Power: A Political Biography

How do upcoming elections influence presidents’ behavior during wartime? War on the Ballot examines how electoral politics shaped presidential decisions on military and diplomatic strategy during the wars in Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq. Drawing on a wealth of declassified documents and interviews with senior officials and military officers, Andrew Payne reveals the surprisingly large role played by political considerations during conflicts.

ANDREW PAYNE is a departmental lecturer in international relations at the University of Oxford.

Inside Congressional Committees

Function and Dysfunction in the Legislative Process

“Maya L. Kornberg has produced a rich, informative, and beautifully written study of the internal operations of the contemporary Congress. A refreshingly balanced perspective.”

—Frances E Lee, Princeton University

It is widely believed that Congress has broken down. Maya L. Kornberg examines the legislative process beyond voting patterns, emphasizing the crucial role of congressional committee hearings. In committees, lawmakers hear from expert witnesses, legislators revise and discuss bills before bringing them to a vote, and the public has an opportunity to engage with Congress. Demonstrating that Congress is not as dysfunctional as is often claimed, this book also suggests timely reforms based on these findings that can strengthen Congress.

MAYA L. KORNBERG leads research for the Elections and Government Program at NYU Law’s Brennan Center for Justice. She holds a PhD in politics from Oxford University and has worked on democratic governance issues at universities, nonprofits, international development organizations, and think tanks.

Democracy on the Ground Local Politics in

Latin America’s Left Turn

“Democracy on the Ground explores an interesting puzzle: why did political elites embrace participatory democracy in some Latin American cities and not others? This puzzle and Hetland’s findings are important to many debates about democracy, political elites, political parties, and participatory governance. His extensive fieldwork will be of great value to scholars and policy makers who want to better understand the political dynamics in this region.”

—Stephanie McNulty, author of Democracy From Above? The Unfulfilled Promise of Nationally Mandated Participatory Reforms

This book examines the complex relationship of the Left, the Right, and democracy through the lens of local politics in Venezuela and Bolivia. Drawing on two years of fieldwork, Gabriel Hetland compares attempts at participatory reform in cities governed by the Left and Right in each country.

The River Imp and the Stinky Jewel and Other Tales Monster Comics from Edo Japan

“A monstrously fine volume. Featuring annotated translations of five playfully illustrated comic classics, it brings to life the riotously fantastic world of the Japanese popular imagination. Sure to delight students, specialists, and general readers alike.”

—Keller Kimbrough, coeditor of Monsters, Animals, and Other Worlds: A Collection of Short Medieval Japanese Tales

In Edo-period Japan, readers relished works known as kibyōshi that combined text and illustration on the same page, much like comic books and manga. Monsters often took center stage in these stories. This book presents a selection of Edo monster comics in English for the first time, introducing readers to a captivating, humorous, and eyeopening genre of popular fiction. The comics are reproduced in their entirety, conveying the feel of the original comics and allowing readers to experience the full visual impact of the monsters.

“This book should appeal to anyone interested in Japanese poetry, both for its evocative rendering of selections from the Kokinshū and for its concisely informative account of the classic waka anthology.” —Gustav Heldt, translator of The Kojiki: An Account of Ancient Matters

Compiled in the early tenth century, the Kokinshū is an anthology of some eleven hundred poems that aimed to elevate the prestige of vernacular Japanese poetry at the imperial court. From shortly after its completion to the end of the nineteenth century, it was celebrated as the cornerstone of the Japanese vernacular poetic tradition. This book offers an inviting and immersive selection of roughly one-third of the anthology in English translation. It helps specialist and nonspecialist readers alike appreciate the beauty and richness of the Kokinshū.

Towers in the Void Li Yu and Early Modern Chinese Media

“Towers in the Void provides authoritative new insights into Li Yu’s writings based on a broad examination of his corpus, integrating insightful and innovative readings of Li Yu’s creative works with his prescriptions on garden design and lengthy musings.”

—Robert Hegel, cotranslator of A Couple of Soles: A Comic Play from Seventeenth-Century China

The maverick cultural entrepreneur Li Yu survived the tumultuous Ming-Qing dynastic transition through a commercially successful practice involving an astonishingly broad variety of cultural forms: from theatrical performance and literary production to fashion and wellness to garden and interior design. Towers in the Void is a groundbreaking analysis of Li Yu’s work across these varied fields. S. E. Kile argues that Li Yu’s cultural experimentation draws attention to the materiality of particular media forms, expanding the scope of early modern media by interweaving books, buildings, and bodies.

Boundless Winds of Empire Rhetoric

and Ritual in Early Choso˘n Diplomacy with Ming China

SIXIANG WANG

“Boundless Winds of Empire sets a new standard for Anglophone scholarship on Chosŏn Korea.” —Eugene Park, author of Korea: A History

Boundless Winds of Empire is a cultural history of diplomacy that traces Choso˘n Korea’s rhetorical and ritual engagement with China. Sixiang Wang demonstrates how Choso˘n political actors strategically deployed cultural practices, values, and narratives to carve out a place for Korea within the Ming imperial order. He argues that Korea’s rulers and diplomats followed a subtle and sophisticated strategy of diplomatic and cultural negotiation. This book recasts a critical period of Sino-Korean relations through the Korean perspective, emphasizing Korean agency in the making of East Asian international relations.

The Precious Summary

A History

“Elverskog’s linguistic intelligence and profound knowledge of Mongolian history make the prose and poetry of this historical classic shine.”

—Timothy Brook, author of Great State: China and the World

The Precious Summary is the most important work of Mongolian history on the threehundred-year period before the rise of the Manchu Qing dynasty. Written by Sagang Sechen in 1662, shortly after the Mongols’ submission to the Qing, it spans Buddhist cosmology, Chinggis Khan, the post-Yuan Mongols, Chinese history, and the Mongols’ conversion to Buddhism.

SAGANG SECHEN was born in 1604 into an important aristocratic family in Ordos in what is now the southwest part of Inner Mongolia. He distinguished himself in both military and bureaucratic service, including advising his local ruler to submit to the Manchu Qing dynasty in 1635. Little is known about his later life.

Performing the Socialist State Modern Chinese Theater and Film Culture

“In her study of theater, politics, and performativity in modern China, Chen tells a compelling story of three leading dramatists in search of socialist modernity—their aspirations, their inventions and interventions, and their own tragedies amid the state’s staging of the most brutal theater of revolution. A powerful book.”

—David Der-wei Wang, author of Why Fiction Matters in Contemporary China

Xiaomei Chen offers a new account of the origins, evolution, and legacies of key trends in twentieth-century Chinese theater. Instead of seeing the Republican, high socialist, and postsocialist periods as radically distinct, she identifies key continuities in theatrical practices and shared aspirations for the social role and artistic achievements of performance across eras.

Spring and Autumn Historiography

Form and Hierarchy in Ancient Chinese Annals

NEWELL ANN VAN AUKEN

“Van Auken’s pathbreaking scholarship demolishes the old conventional view of the Spring and Autumn as a dull and uninteresting chronicle. Her elegant analysis of how the text’s rule-based formulaic language served the interests of the dukes of Lu opens the way to an exciting new view of the political dynamics of early China.”

—John S Major, cotranslator of Luxuriant Gems of the Spring and Autumn

The Spring and Autumn is an annals text composed of brief records covering the period 722–479 BCE. Newell Ann Van Auken argues that record-keepers from the ancient Chinese state of Lu—not a later editor—produced the formally regular core of the text. This book transforms our understanding of the text’s significance and purpose, and also offers new approaches to the study of ancient annals in early China and elsewhere.

NEWELL ANN VAN AUKEN teaches at the University of Iowa. She is the author of The Commentarial Transformation of the Spring and Autumn (2016).

Shouting in a Cage Political Life After Authoritarian Co-optation in North Africa

“Fenner’s book does something that only the very best books in the social sciences do: it takes a concept that readers think they already understand and forces them to rethink what it means, why it occurs, and how it works. This book offers a new way to understand why political parties become co-opted and how they survive it.”

—Adria Lawrence, author of Imperial Rule and the Politics of Nationalism: Anti-Colonial Protest in the French Empire

The conventional story of co-optation is straightforward: rulers entice opposition groups to “sell out,” offering them benefits if they become part of the system. Sofia Fenner offers new ways to understand co-optation’s power and its limits by examining two co-opted parties. Based on extensive archival research and ethnographic fieldwork in North Africa, Shouting in a Cage broadens our understanding of political behavior under authoritarianism.

“This prehistory of algorithmic culture steps back from the relentless novelty of much writing about computing, helping us realize that algorithms, culture, and the relationship between them are stranger and older than we might have thought.”

Algorithmic Culture Before the Internet is a history of how culture and computation came to be entangled. Ted Striphas pinpoints the critical junctures at which algorithmic culture began to coalesce in language long before it materialized in the technological wizardry of Silicon Valley.

The Sounds of Mandarin

Unsettling Exiles

Learning to

Speak a National Language in China and Taiwan, 1913–1960

“The Sounds of Mandarin is the definitive study of the modern Chinese quest for a unified spoken language. Chen transports readers into the meeting rooms where linguistic models were debated and the classrooms, movie theaters, and military units where the national language was taught. She captures the elusiveness of crafting a single national standard and the challenge of making it a living language.”

—Robert Culp, author of The Power of Print in Modern China: Intellectuals and Industrial Publishing from the End of Empire to Maoist State Socialism

How did people learn to speak Mandarin? And what does a focus on speech instead of script reveal about Chinese language and history? This book traces the surprising social history of China’s spoken standard, from its creation as the national language of the early Republic in 1913 to its journey into postwar Taiwan to its reconfiguration as the common language of the People’s Republic after 1949.

Chinese Migrants in Hong Kong and the Southern Periphery During the Cold War

“In Unsettling Exiles, the story of postwar Hong Kong is not simply one of socioeconomic perseverance but must also be understood in the contexts of the trauma and sense of dislocation experienced by many who had, for a variety of reasons, left China for the British colony.”

—Leo K Shin, University of British Columbia Unsettling Exiles recasts identity formation in Hong Kong, demonstrating that the complexities of crossing borders shaped the city’s uneasy place in the Sinophone world. Angelina Y. Chin foregrounds the experiences of the many people who passed through Hong Kong without settling down. She argues that Hong Kong identity emerged from the collective trauma of exile and dislocation, as well as a sense of being on the margins of both the Communist and Nationalist Chinese regimes during the Cold War.

Recasting modern Palestinian history through the lens of refugee camps and communities, Refuge and Resistance offers vital new perspectives for understanding politics beyond the nation-state.

The Forgotten Borough Staten Island and the Subway

KENNETH M. GOLD

“With this book, Kenneth M. Gold assures us that the ‘Forgotten Borough’ shall be forgotten no more. He offers an insightful picture of Staten Island before the bridge and brings to light the hitherto little-known story of the tunnel that never was.”

—Jeffrey A Kroessler, author of Sunnyside Gardens: Planning and Preservation in a Historic Garden Suburb

What sets

Staten Island apart from the rest of New York City? Kenneth M. Gold argues that the lack of a subway connection has deeply shaped Staten Island’s history and identity. He chronicles decades of recurrent efforts to build a rail link, using this history to explore the borough’s fraught relationship with New York City as a whole.

The Cinema of Paul Thomas Anderson American Apocrypha

ETHAN WARREN

Foreword

“Warren leaves no stone unturned in this book, and his insightful enthusiasm makes these multifaceted films come alive through his careful study of Anderson’s life and influences.”

—Whitney Crothers Dilley, author of The Cinema of Wes Anderson

Paul Thomas Anderson’s evolution from a brash, self-anointed “Indiewood” auteur to one of his generation’s most distinctive voices has been one of the most remarkable career trajectories in recent film history. This book provides the most complete account of Anderson’s career to date. It is at once an unconventional primer on Anderson’s films and a provocative reframing of what makes his work so essential.

ETHAN WARREN is an editor for the online film journal Bright Wall/Dark Room and a member of the Boston Society of Film Critics. He is the writer and director of the film West of Her LINDSAY ZOLADZ is a pop music critic for the New York Times

Fate in Film

A Deterministic Approach to Cinema

“In this wholly singular work, Puhr takes a refreshingly innovative and engaging approach to the surprisingly layered concept of determinism in film. Part film studies, part philosophy, Fate in Film is full of gratifying aha moments and gasp-worthy catches.”

—Erica Dymond, East Stroudsburg University

Thomas M. Puhr identifies and analyzes the ways that cinema has dealt with the tension between fate and free will, from Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining to Christopher Nolan’s Tenet. He examines films that express deterministic ideas, including circular narratives of stasis or confinement and fatalistic portraits of external forces dictating characters’ lives. Puhr explores how films such as Joel and Ethan Coen’s Inside Llewyn Davis, Ari Aster’s Hereditary, Jordan Peele’s Us, and Lucrecia Martel’s Zama confront the limits of human agency. Recasting the works of some of today’s most compelling directors, Fate in Film is an innovative critical account of an unrecognized yet crucial aspect of contemporary cinema.

Hollis Frampton

Navigating the Infinite Cinema

“Zryd has effectively relocated Frampton’s most ambitious project, rescuing it from the insular world of experimental film history and resituating it in a broader cultural and artistic arena.”

—Bruce Jenkins, coauthor of The Films of Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonne: 1963–1965

Hollis Frampton was an American filmmaker, photographer, and theorist who bridged the experimental film and contemporary art worlds in the 1960s and 1970s. This book is a groundbreaking and comprehensive account of Frampton’s work from his earliest films through the unfinished epic Magellan, which used the metaphor of the circumnavigation of the world to rethink the natures and meanings of history, modernity, and cinema. Shedding new light on Frampton’s project of exploring and critiquing how cinema attempts to capture and understand the world, Michael Zryd also considers the director’s significance for contemporary art.

What Is Sexual Difference?

Thinking with Irigaray

“An admirable defense and forwarding of [Irigaray’s] work in light of contemporary questions of sex, gender, and being.”

—Karen Schiler, author of A Movable Ethos: How Ethics and Rhetoric Can Imagine and Invite New Publics

This book brings together leading scholars to consider the philosophical implications of Luce Irigaray’s writing on sexual difference, particularly for issues of gender and race. Their essays directly confront the charge of essentialism, exploring how Irigaray’s thought opens new possibilities for understanding the complexity of gender identities, including nonbinary and trans experiences as well as alternative configurations of masculinity and femininity.

Sister Death Political Theologies for Living and Dying

BEATRICE MAROVICH

“Written with brilliance, imagination, and grace. An exemplary collection of attentive, intelligent, and generous readings, Sister Death offers a rethinking of much of the history of the Christian West’s affective and reflective, martial and spiritual—and violent— rapport with death.”

—Gil Anidjar, author of Blood: A Critique of Christianity

Life and death are commonly seen as representing the starkest of binaries. Adapting the figure of “Sister Death” from Saint Francis of Assisi, Beatrice Marovich calls for recognizing that life and death are family. Drawing on a wide range of sources—from Toni Morrison to Jacques Derrida, psychoanalysis to grassroots “death positive” movements— she critiques a racialized political theology that pits life and death against each other in a state of endless war.

BEATRICE MAROVICH is associate professor of theological studies at Hanover College.

The Biomimicry Revolution

Learning from Nature How to Inhabit the Earth

“This is an exciting and intellectually invigorating study into the epistemological and ethical principles that underpin a philosophy of biomimicry.”

—Adrian Parr, author of Earthlings: Imaginative Encounters with the Natural World

Henry Dicks explores the philosophical significance of biomimicry, the application and adaptation of strategies found in nature to the development of artificial products and systems, such as solar cells modeled on leaves. He argues that biomimicry can serve as the basis for a new environmental philosophy that radically alters how we understand and relate to the natural world. By showing how we can imitate, emulate, and learn from nature, The Biomimicry Revolution presents a sweeping reconception of what philosophy can be and offers a powerful new vision of terrestrial existence.

HENRY DICKS is an environmental philosopher and philosopher of technology. He holds a doctorate from the University of Oxford and lectures in environmental philosophy and ethics at University Jean Moulin Lyon 3, Shanghai University, and the Catholic University of the West, Angers.

Here I’m Alive

The Spirit of Music in Psychoanalysis

ADAM BLUM, PETER GOLDBERG, AND MICHAEL LEVIN

“Showing us that music is at the heart of human development, of sociability, of love and desire—at the heart of most of what matters to us—this book shows us what many of us have always somehow thought but never been able to know with such clarity and vision. Not simply one of the most fascinating books written about psychoanalysis, Here I’m Alive is more importantly about just how musical our lives are and can be. It is a unique and remarkable book.”

—Adam Phillips, psychoanalytic psychotherapist and essayist

Here I’m Alive explores the musical foundation of being human from a psychoanalytic perspective. Writing in collaboration, three psychoanalytic clinicians develop a fresh vision of the essential role of music in psychical life. Through an interdisciplinary exploration, this book shows how music is fundamental to becoming human, establishing our embodied sense of membership and participation in a shared world through the fabric of culture.

ADAM BLUM, PETER GOLDBERG, and MICHAEL LEVIN are members of the Bay Area psychoanalytic community.

Baptizing

Burma

Religious Change in the Last Buddhist Kingdom

“Rich with multiperspectival sources and stories, Baptizing Burma offers a fascinating vantage point onto the material culture of nineteenth-century American Baptist missionaries to Burma.”

—Pamela Klassen, author of The Story of Radio Mind: A Missionary’s Journey on Indigenous Land

In July 1813, a young American couple from Boston arrived in Rangoon to preach the gospel. The attempt to convert the Burmese met mixed results: Although Burmese Buddhists largely resisted Christian evangelism, people from minority communities were baptized in astonishing numbers throughout the nineteenth century. Baptizing Burma explores the history of how the American Baptist mission to Burma failed to convert the country yet succeeded in transforming its religious landscape.

In the Land of Tigers and Snakes

Living with Animals in Medieval Chinese Religions

HUAIYU CHEN

“An unprecedented survey of some very rich sources, In the Land of Tigers and Snakes is a major contribution to the study of the interactions between the human and animal realms in a pivotal period of Chinese history.”

—T H Barrett, author of Taoism Under the T’ang: Religion and Empire During the Golden Age of Chinese History

Huaiyu Chen examines how Buddhist ideas about animals changed and were changed by medieval Chinese culture. He explores the entangled relations among animals, religions, the state, and local communities, considering both the multivalent meanings associated with animals and the daily experience of living with the natural world. Chen illustrates how Buddhism influenced Chinese knowledge and experience of animals as well as how Chinese state ideology, Daoism, and local cultic practices reshaped Buddhism.

Deserved Economic Memories After the Fall of the Iron Curtain

“Deserved is the first attempt to propose a fullfledged theory of perception of economic justice in the field of memory studies.”

—Joanna Wawrzyniak, author of Memory and Change in Europe: Eastern Perspectives

Till Hilmar examines memories of the postsocialist transition in East Germany and the Czech Republic to offer new insights into the power of narratives about economic change. Despite the structural nature of economic shifts, many people are deeply attached to the belief that success and failure must be deserved. Emphasizing individual effort, responsibility, and character, they pass moral judgments based on a person’s fortunes in the job market. Hilmar argues that such frameworks represent ways of making sense of the profound economic and social dislocations after 1989.

TILL HILMAR is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Vienna and a faculty fellow at Yale University’s Center for Cultural Sociology.

Nursing the Spirit Care, Public Life, and the Dignity of Vulnerable Strangers

DON GRANT

“This is a necessary and timely contribution at a time when sociologists are paying more attention to religion in health care and the healthcare profession is looking at religion and spirituality with greater seriousness.”

—John A Schmalzbauer, author of People of Faith: Religious Conviction in American Journalism and Higher Education

Don Grant investigates the subtle ways that nurses at an academic medical center incorporate spirituality into their care work. Based on extensive fieldwork and an in-depth survey, this book finds that by seeking to honor patients’ ultimate worth as human beings, many nurses are able to instantiate spiritual values of care. Nursing the Spirit recasts the intersection of science and spirituality by centering the perspectives of the people who provide care.

Modernity’s Corruption Empire and Morality in the Making of British India

Nicholas Hoover Wilson develops a new account of the changing category of corruption by examining the English East India Company and its transformation from a largely commercial enterprise into a militarized offshoot of British empire in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He argues that the modern idea of corruption arose as an unintended consequence of conflicts among company officials and the changing audiences to which they justified themselves in Britain. Modernity’s Corruption is at once a novel historical sociology of imperial administration and its contradictions, a fresh argument about the nature of corruption and its political and organizational effects, and a reinvigoration of classic arguments about the nature and consequences of global modernity.

The American Poet Laureate A History of U.S. Poetry and the State

“The American Poet Laureate is a compelling tale of intrigue, clashing nationalist politics, and the forging of what Paeth chillingly calls ‘state verse culture.’ Starting with the amazing tale of Ezra Pound’s Bollingen Prize quickly followed by a detailed account of Robert Frost’s triumphalist inaugural poem, Paeth shows how the state’s investment in poetry often masks the ideological construction of both poetry and America.”

—Charles Bernstein, author of Topsy-Turvy

The American Poet Laureate shows how the state has been the silent center of poetic production in the United States since World War II. It is the first history of the national poetry office, the U.S. poet laureate, highlighting the careers of Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Frost, Gwendolyn Brooks, Robert Pinsky, Tracy K. Smith, Juan Felipe Herrera, and Joy Harjo. It is also a history of how these state poets participated in national arts programming during the Cold War.

Departing from the conventional association of modernism with the city, this book makes a case for the beach as a surprisingly generative setting for twentieth-century literature and art.

Aeropolis Queering Air in Toxicpolluted Worlds

With contributions from María Puig de la Bellacasa and Timothy K. Choy

How do we get to know air and air pollution differently? Aeropolis offers a speculative and interdisciplinary framework to contest regimes of managing air that uphold dominant modes of world making. Instead, the book calls for thinking of air as a city to center its social, cultural, political, and ecological entanglements. Drawing on feminist technoscience and queer ecology, Aeropolis develops a methodology of “designing-thinking-making” that redirects and connects our understandings of air—as designers, as citizens—with ongoing struggles for just futures. Moving through a series of design interventions, histories of air, and theoretical coordinates, Aeropolis thinks with air across its many forms—through smog and dust, bodies and breath, pollen and weeds, and from urban design to geopolitics, polluted environments to open data, parks to aerial infrastructures. It insists that we acknowledge the diversity of air and its relation to humans, nonhumans, and environments, both physically and affectively—by living, breathing, seeing, holding, touching, queering airs.

—Kenneth J Hammond, New Mexico State University

This compelling and well-crafted book delineates the fitful development of Confucianism in China, Japan, Korea, and Viet Nam. Jeffrey L. Richey demonstrates how Confucianism slowly came to dominate politics, thought, and society in each of these places and still continues to inform their assumptions, values, and institutions. This revised and expanded second edition incorporates analysis of Confucianism’s impact on how East Asian societies have responded to recent events such as the coronavirus pandemic, the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, and various legal developments and social media trends.

Women in Japanese Studies

Memoirs from a Trailblazing Generation

This book shares the personal stories of women scholars who balanced professional and personal responsibilities to earn graduate degrees and began careers bridging Japan and North America between the 1950s and 1980. It challenges the common narrative that Japanese studies was established by men who worked for the U.S. military after World War II or were from missionary families in Japan. This is only part of the story—the field was also created by women who took advantage of postwar opportunities for studying Japan. Women of this generation were among the first scholars to use Japanese source materials in research published in English and the first foreigners to study at Japanese universities. Because of their gender, women often received smaller salaries, faced hurdles to tenure, and were excluded from or ignored at conferences. This book pioneers a genre of academic memoirs, capturing emotional and intellectual experiences omitted from institutional histories.

No Politics but Class Politics

WALTER BENN MICHAELS AND ADOLPH REED JR.

Edited and with a foreword by Anton Jäger and Daniel Zamora

Denouncing racism and celebrating diversity have become central to progressive politics. For many, it seems, social justice would consist of an equitable distribution of wealth, power, and esteem among racial groups. Walter Benn Michaels and Adolph Reed Jr. argue in this incisive collection of essays that the fixation on racial disparities can distract from the pervasive influence of class—and can even end up legitimizing economic inequality. As Michaels and Reed put it, “Racism is real and antiracism is both admirable and necessary, but extant racism isn’t what principally produces our inequality and anti-racism won’t eliminate it.”

Praise for Walter Benn Michaels and Adolph Reed Jr.:

“[Walter Benn Michaels is] cunning, brilliant, acutely suggestive, often exhilarating to read.”

—Eric Lott, Transition “Adolph Reed Jr. is the towering radical theorist of American democracy of his generation!”

—Cornel West “Adolph Reed Jr. is the smartest person of any race, class, or gender writing on race, class, and gender.”

—Katha Pollitt, Mother Jones

No Politics but Class Politics gathers together Michaels and Reed’s recent essays on inequality, along with a newly commissioned interview with the authors and an illuminating foreword by Anton Jäger and Daniel Zamora. These writings eschew the sloppy thinking and moral posturing that too often characterize discussions of race and class in favor of clear-eyed social, cultural, and historical analysis. Michaels and Reed make the case here for a genuinely radical politics: a politics that aspires not to the establishment of a demographically representative social elite but instead to economic justice for everyone.

WALTER BENN MICHAELS is professor of English at the University of Illinois Chicago.

ADOLPH REED JR. is professor emeritus of political science at the University of Pennsylvania.

ANTON JÄGER is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Catholic University of Leuven.

Do Not Resuscitate

The Life and Afterlife of Maurice Saatchi

Maurice Saatchi is dead. He is standing in front of the Gates of Heaven. Arrival halls worse than Heathrow Airport. Queues. Overcrowding. A tidal wave of Paradise seekers. ID scans. Voice and facial recognition. X-ray examinations. Background checks. It all seems like a bad dream. His tests expose abnormalities. He is charged with multiple breaches of immigration law and detained pending a full jury trial. The verdict will reveal the biggest secret of all time: why some people go to Heaven and others to Hell.

Do Not Resuscitate is a bold statement. Maurice Saatchi, a towering figure in the worlds of business and politics, frames his unsparing self-portrait with the conceit of a celestial trial in which his application to pass through the Gates of Heaven is heard before a jury featuring luminaries like Marilyn Monroe, Pablo Picasso, Chairman Mao, and Margaret Thatcher. In seeking admission to Heaven, Saatchi offers a defense like no other.

MAURICE SAATCHI graduated from the London School of Economics, where he won the MacMillan Prize for Sociology, and went on to become a governor of LSE. During his time in advertising, he transformed the industry, taking Saatchi & Saatchi from an eleven-staff company to a leading global agency. He worked with Margaret Thatcher and John Major on four consecutive general election victories. In 1996 he entered the House of Lords. He became cochairman of the UK Conservative Party and chairman of the Centre for Policy Studies. His campaigning efforts in Parliament led to the passage of the 2016 Access to Medical Treatments (Innovation) Act.

Resistance to Christianity

A Chronological Encyclopedia of Heresy from the Beginning to the Eighteenth Century

Translated by Bill Brown

Resistance to Christianity is a revisionist account of the forms of thought and belief that have been rejected or suppressed by orthodox Christianity over the course of the centuries. From the origins of the Bible to the fraught doctrinal controversies of the fourth century to the Levellers and Jansenists of the early modern period, Raoul Vaneigem reveals the too-little-known history that lies behind the modern world’s theological horizons. Resistance to Christianity is far more, however, than a study of religious movements and ideas; indeed, Vaneigem is bracingly unapologetic in his ambition “to examine the resistance that the inclination to natural liberty has, for nearly twenty centuries, opposed to . . . Christian oppression.” The story of how men and women have again and again resisted the authoritarian implications of religious orthodoxy is, above all, a crucial strand of the history of human freedom. Bill Brown’s translation makes available in English a major work by one of the preeminent thinkers of our time. A remarkable feat of historical scholarship, Resistance to Christianity represents radical thought at its most exciting, incisive, and compelling.

RAOUL VANEIGEM is a historian and social theorist who was prominently associated with the Situationist International. He is the author of numerous books, including the highly influential The Revolution of Everyday Life

Only Too Much Is Enough

Francis Bacon in His Own Words

Francis Bacon and Michael Peppiatt were close friends for more than thirty years. The two would regularly embark on nighttime “odysseys around London and Paris,” “ordering extravagant vintages, raising toasts to all and sundry, talking and laughing immoderately.” Francis Bacon’s conversation was witty, provocative, and profound. In this book, Peppiatt, his long-time friend, curator, chronicler, and biographer, has gathered Bacon’s most memorable aphorisms, evoking both the force of the artist’s personality and the range of his interests. These sayings, assembled for the first time in Only Too Much Is Enough, form a brilliant accompaniment to Bacon’s works, conveying not only a skeptical and sometimes disquieting outlook on human relationships but also keen insights into his creative process.

Praise

Bacon: Anatomy of an Enigma:

“Michael Peppiatt’s biography has long been viewed by Bacon scholars as the definitive life of a fascinatingly flawed figure.”

—Alex Larman, The Guardian

Praise for Francis Bacon in Your Blood: “The best art memoir published in years.”

Socialisme ou Barbarie An Anthology

CORNELIUS CASTORIADIS

ET AL.

Socialisme ou Barbarie (1948–67) was a revolutionary group whose members included such major figures such as Cornelius Castoriadis, Claude Lefort, and Jean-François Lyotard. Its journal of the same name helped inspire France’s May ’68 student-worker rebellion and influenced generations of radicals worldwide. This anthology, for the first time in print in the English language, restores the collective nature of the group’s adventure, in which manual and intellectual workers creatively reflected and acted together in anticipation of a nonhierarchical, selfgoverning society.

CORNELIUS CASTORIADIS was director of studies at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales from 1980 to 1995.

Land Value Capture in the United States

Funding Infrastructure and Local Government Services

“Korngold has produced an analysis of land value capture that will be highly valuable to every municipality. . . . This [report] will prompt policy makers and stakeholders to think anew about how to harness real estate development to deliver important social goods.”

—Brian Golden, former director, Boston Planning and Development Agency

Land value capture is based on a simple core premise: public action should generate public benefit. As challenges mount from rapid urbanization, deteriorating infrastructure, climate change, and more, this funding source has never been more important to the future of municipalities. This report demonstrates that land value capture is a viable and potentially important method for funding much-needed public infrastructure, improvements, and programs.

Capitalism and Individual Freedom

A Marxist Economic Critique of Liberalism

This book is a discussion of the nature and limits of liberalism. By the term “liberalism,” Prabhat Patnaik means the doctrine that gets its most typical exemplification in what have come to be called liberal democracies. These evolving liberal democracies were typically accompanied by the evolving economic formation of capitalism; the political ideas and principles that make up the doctrine of liberalism are therefore deeply integrated with economic ideas about the nature of capitalism. Patnaik’s objective is to look at the notion of freedom in the context of this integrated political and economic framework that we have come to call liberalism.

PRABHAT PATNAIK is professor emeritus of economics at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. His books include The Value of Money and Re-envisioning Socialism. He is coauthor with Utsa Patnaik of A Theory of Imperialism (Columbia and Tulika, 2016) and Capital and Imperialism (Monthly Review Press and Tulika, 2022).

Fighting Free to Become Unfree Again

The Social History of Bondage and Neo-Bondage of Labour in India

Labor bondage is a major feature of the peasant economies that have dominated the subcontinent of South Asia from an unrecorded precolonial past until the postcolonial present. Discussing when, why, and how servitude originated on the tribal-peasant frontier in West India, this book offers a historical perspective on the collapse of bondage, drawing on engagement in anthropological fieldwork from the 1960s onward. Jan Breman argues that the capitalist economy has not allowed for the transition to free labor. Because of the lack of employment and income, the workforce at the bottom of the pile remains stuck in neo-bondage.

JAN BREMAN is professor emeritus at the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research, University of Amsterdam, and honorary fellow at the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam.

BELINDER DHANOA

This book on the Kasauli Art Center, located at Ivy Lodge, Kasauli—a center for the arts engaged in numerous art activities for a decade and a half, from 1976 to 1991— contextualizes and examines those events within the broader framework of both the cultural scene in India and the particularity of what took place at Kasauli. Workshops, developments in the field of the visual arts, experiments in performance, seminars and discussions on arts and culture, the inception of the Journal of Arts and Ideas—these are among the subjects covered in the book. Written in brief chapters and in several registers, the book uses devices from fiction writing, including the mediating of time between an event and its recall. The book also contains several valuable contributions from artists and scholars who participated in the events held at Kasauli. It is richly illustrated with photographs and other images from those times.

Issues and Concerns

The essays in this book highlight how education as a component of cultural inheritance remains a contentious issue. Representing the transfer of knowledge and skill endowment, education harbors the tendency to support and reproduce social hierarchy as well as the countervailing propensity toward amelioration of vulnerable socioeconomic groups.

CONCLUSION: Conrad, Commodities, and the Work of Art

Joseph Conrad and Material Culture

From the Rise of the Commodity Transcendent to the Scramble for Africa

Joseph Conrad and Material Culture offers a fresh approach to Conrad’s work, especially his African fictions, by focusing on the importance of material culture and its role in shaping the literary art form in modernity. Opening with the description of a uniquely carved African tusk as both a work of art and an object of material culture, Merry M. Pawlowski traces the scenes of African life displayed on that tusk to establish the major themes of her study of selected works of Conrad’s fiction and nonfiction. These include transculturation in colonial Africa; the transformation of the African fetish into the commodity fetish; the exploitation of the African continent through mapping, exploration, and trade; and the rise of the transcendent commodity. Employing cartographic, materialist, psychoanalytic, and postcolonial theories, Pawlowski offers new insights by treating details in Conrad’s works as revelatory of the broader material culture invoked by the text. The brief mention of a Huntley and Palmers biscuit tin, the single reference to the Great Exhibition of 1851, and the intriguing hint of a vile scramble for loot are a few examples of tantalizing textual presences.

Pawlowski explores the presence of material culture in Conrad’s works by teasing out gaps, silences, and hints. Revealing the rich context on which Conrad drew as he wrote, this book offers an opportunity for the reader to enter Conrad’s world.

This book is volume 31 of the series Conrad: Eastern and Western Perspectives, edited by Wiesław Krajka.

MERRY M. PAWLOWSKI is professor emerita of English at the California State University Bakersfield. She has published essays on Conrad’s works in earlier volumes of Conrad: Eastern and Western Perspectives, essays and book chapters on Virginia Woolf’s Three Guineas, and an edited volume entitled Virginia Woolf and Fascism: Resisting the Dictators’ Seduction

Censorship of Literature in

Post-War Poland

In Light of the Confidential Bulletins for Censors from 1945 to 1956

Translated by Katarzyna Szuster-Tardi

This book reconstructs and presents ways to censor literature (and, contextually, other fields of art) submitted for evaluation to the main censorship office in Poland during the first eleven years after World War II. The source material consists of confidential bulletins—periodicals addressed to the officials of the censorship office. The book also cites evidence of the literary ambitions of political functionaries, as censors were known in the 1950s.

An Interreligious Dialogue

Portrayal of Jews in Dutch FrenchLanguage Periodicals (1680–1715)

MICHAEL GREEN

This book focuses on the ways Jews were portrayed in various scholarly journals and lay gazettes published in French in the United Provinces of the Netherlands, mostly by Huguenot refuges. The scholarly journals are mostly focused on discussion of historical and theological aspects of Jewish people and Judaism, the origins of their language and its influence on others, and their customs and nuances related to worship. The lay gazettes discuss gossip and contemporary events, portraying the Jews as their editors see them. The book also considers how Muslims in general and Turks in particular were portrayed in the same sources.

MICHAEL GREEN is a University Professor at the University of Łódź, Poland.

Spirits in the Material World

Aristotle’s Philosophy of Mind, in Particular His Doctrine of Nous Poiêtikos

“One should appreciate the author’s courage and the fact that she has decided to face the vast literature, got to know it, investigated it, and organized it. And this is, without doubt, the greatest value of her work.”

—Kazimierz Mrówka, Pedagogical University of Kraków

This book is inspired by the quest for the proper function of Aristotle’s active intellect presented in De Anima 3.5. The urge to grasp its essence has always driven philosophy ahead. Nevertheless, the true nature of nous poiêtikos remains far from being grasped. Sonia Kamińska-Tarkowska works through the existing interpretations and tries to systematize them to shed some light on the subject. To avoid getting lost in Aristotle and Aristotelian interpretations, the book divides the readings of nous poiêtikos into mystical and rational ones.

SONIA KAMI Ń SKA-TARKOWSKA is a philosopher and translator currently working at the Institute of Philosophy at the Jagiellonian University.

In Defence of a Dynamic View of Reality

“The topics covered in the book . . . will certainly be a valuable contribution to ongoing discussions on the passage of time, the problem of time asymmetry, and the relationship between the ontology of time and modern physics.”

This collection of papers defends a dynamic view of reality, which is founded on the assumption of the objective existence of the flow of time. The vindication makes use of a metaphysical theory of the flow of time developed by the author based on the notion of dynamic existence.

Early Novels on Arab Spring

Prophecy, Reality, and Future

This book is a study of the first Arab novels from 2011 through 2013 . They show the rapid reaction of Arab novelists to events in their countries at that time. Dozens of narrative works have been published that heralded the advent of change and the victory of popular movements, glorifying rebellious uprisings against tyrannical regimes. Although pessimism and despair permeate some texts, others paint a bright picture of the future of the Arab Spring, which may lead to the realization of the dream of freedom and democracy.

Making a Home

Assisted Living in the Community for Young Disabled People

People with severe physical disabilities are often simply warehoused in nursing homes, where many people, especially in the age of homecare, are in the final stages of their lives. It is difficult for a young person to live in a home geared for death. Their physical assistance needs are met, but their social, psychological, and emotional needs are not.

Jen Powley argues that everyone deserves to live with the dignity of risk. In Making a Home, Powley tells the story of how she got young disabled people like herself out of nursing homes through developing a group home for adults with severe physical disabilities. This book makes a case for living in the community and against dehumanizing institutionalization.

Essential Work, Disposable Workers

Migration, Capitalism, Class

In recent years, waves of migration from the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa to Europe and North America have been met with a corresponding rise in anti-immigrant, far-right populism in host countries, placing the question of migration at the forefront of politics and social movements.

In this sweeping account, Mostafa Henaway seeks to understand these patterns through contextualizing global migration within a history of global capitalism, class formation, and the financialization of migration. As globalization intensifies, workers everywhere are forced to compete for wages—not because of foreign investment and outsourcing but because they are subsumed into an increasingly mobile working class. Henaway rejects the dominant responses of restricting or “managing” migration through temporary worker programs, proposing that stopping a race to the bottom for all working people involves building solidarity with migrant worker struggles for decent work and justice. Henaway examines the organizing strategies of migrant workers at giants like Amazon and WalMart as well as discount retailers like Dollarama and Sports Direct. He considers the power and agency of precarious workers in global companies such as Uber and Airbnb, the successful resistance of taxi drivers and fast food workers around the world, and the contemporary mass labor movement organized by new unions and workers’ centers. Essential Work, Disposable Workers shows how migrant demands and strategies can help shape radical working-class politics.

MOSTAFA HENAWAY is a longtime community organizer at the Immigrant Worker Centre in Montreal. He is also a researcher and PhD candidate at Concordia University.

Driving in Palestine

REHAB NAZZAL لازن باحر

During the past seven decades, Palestine has been sealed off from the Arab world and shattered into fragmented and coded areas. Each area is ruled by different laws, including different roads and permits that control the mobility of Palestinians and privilege Jewish settlers.

Driving in Palestine is a research-creation project by the acclaimed artist Rehab Nazzal, who explores the visible indices of the politics of mobility that she encountered firsthand while traversing the occupied West Bank between 2010 and 2020. This photography book consists of 160 black and white photographs, hand-drawn maps, and critical essays in Arabic and English by Palestinian and Canadian scholars and artists.

The photographs were all captured from moving vehicles on the roads of the West Bank. They focus on Israel’s architecture of movement restrictions and surveillance structures that proliferate in the West Bank, including segregation walls surrounding illegal colonies, gates, fences, watchtowers, roadblocks, and military checkpoints, among other obstacles to freedom of movement.

REHAB NAZZAL is a Palestinian-born multidisciplinary artist based in Toronto. Her work deals with the effects of settler-colonial violence on the bodies and minds of colonized peoples, the land, and nonhuman life. Nazzal’s video, photography, and sound works have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Canada and internationally. She was an assistant professor at Dar Al-Kalima University in Bethlehem and has taught at Simon Fraser University, Western University, and Ottawa School of Art. She is the recipient of several awards, including the Social Justice Award from Ryerson University and the Edmund and Isobel Ryan Visual Arts Award in Photography from the University of Ottawa.

Global Fishers

The Politics of

Transnational Movements

“This is a very well researched and well written book that will make an important contribution to the scholarship and practice of transnational fishers’ movements and social movements more broadly.”

Fishers’ movements and their political agendas have played a critical role in global fisheries, particularly in the context of rural and environmental transformations. This book explores two transnational movements representing small-scale fishers: the World Forum of Fisher Peoples and the World Forum of Fish Harvesters and Fish Workers. It examines the socio-ecological dynamics of fisheries politics by exploring three connected spheres: transnational movements contesting and seeking to influence the politics of global fisheries; international political spaces that movements are prioritizing; and contentious fisheries issues over which movements are struggling.

ELYSE NOBLE MILLS is a program associate for the International Collective in Support of Fishworkers, working with fishers’ organizations on international processes and campaigns.

SOCIAL SCIENCE

Scoundrels and Shirkers

Capitalism and Poverty in Britain

Scoundrels and Shirkers examines the deep relationship between capitalism and poverty in England since the twelfth century. Through this history, the book shows conclusively that poverty is an inevitable consequence of capitalism. In the search for profits and control of society’s economic surplus, capitalism expands, adapts, and innovates, producing not only commodities and wealth but also, and necessarily, poverty. Efforts have always been made to manage and control the poor to prevent them from starving or rebelling, to punish and blame them for being poor, and to force them into poverty-level jobs. Any real solution would require the logic of capitalism to be deeply disrupted.

HISTORY

Realizing a Good Life Men’s Pathways out of Drugs and Crime

This book turns to Indigenous knowledge about realizing a good life to explore how marginalized men endeavor to overcome systemic inequalities in their efforts to achieve wholeness, balance, connection, harmony, and healing. Twenty-three men, most of whom are Indigenous, share their stories of this journey. Caught in difficult circumstances and often in the criminal justice system, realizing a good life was even more daunting as their identities and life chances became barriers. They tell us how they got out of “the problem,” with insights on how to maintain sobriety, navigate systemic barriers, and forge connections and circles of support. Ultimately, it comes down to social supports—and caring.

Out to Defend Ourselves A History of Montreal’s First Haitian Street Gang

Out to Defend Ourselves tells the story of Montreal’s first Haitian street gang, les Bélangers. It traces how the gang emerged from a group of Haitian friends, the children of migrants from Haiti in the 1970s. It documents the forms of racial violence they experienced and their battles against everyday racism. It also documents the everyday lives of the gang members, the petty crime some members engaged in to make ends meet, and how the police actions against the gang changed its nature and function—making it, finally, a more criminally oriented and violent formation. Out to Defend Ourselves is a story about a gang, but it is also a story of young Haitians making their lives in 1970s and 1980s Montreal and a story about Montreal in a period of great change.

MAXIME AURÉLIEN is the former leader of les Bélangers, Montreal’s first Haitian street gang.

The

Seventy-Year

Fight for Public Housing in

Winnipeg

Public housing in Winnipeg is once more under attack, despite the failure of the market to provide adequate housing for lowincome Winnipeggers. This housing, rather than being treated as a valued public asset, is considered an embarrassing encumberment that should be sold and turned over to the private sector. Doug Smith argues that the struggle to protect and expand the provision of nonprofit housing has been undermined by the rupture in political memory of the long struggle to build public housing.

DOUG SMITH is the author of numerous books on political and social issues, particularly Manitoba labor and political history.

The Political Economy of Agribusiness

A Critical Development Perspective

“A brilliantly written small book about a huge issue confronting humanity. It is a must-read for academics and activists alike.”

—Saturnino M Borras Jr , International Institute of Social Studies

Maria Lusia Mendonça traces global agribusiness from its origins in the United States through its internationalization. She argues that the industrialization of agriculture demands increasing amounts of credit for capital inputs, which are captured by agribusiness corporations, leading to market concentration. This explains how global economic policies directly affect land and food systems as multinational corporations control production and trading mechanisms across the production chain. This book provides a valuable overview both for those who are new to the study of agribusiness and those who are involved in studies of agriculture and food sovereignty.

MARIA LUISA MENDONÇA is director of Rede Social de Justiça e Direitos Humanos (Network for Social Justice and Human Rights) and research scholar at the Center for Place, Culture, and Politics, CUNY Graduate Center.

About Canada

Dental Care

BRANDON DOUCET

Dental care is excluded from Canada’s universal healthcare system, with services provided based on the ability to pay. This leads large segments of the population to neglect care, resulting in poor oral health and all of its consequences. This book examines the history of dentistry in Canada, demonstrating how private business interests have prevailed over public health. Current trends in the industry, such as corporate ownership and a focus on cosmetic dentistry, continue this history. But change is possible. By examining alternative approaches to the current dental-care system, this book is a call to action to make a healthier future possible.

BRANDON DOUCET is a dentist practicing in Nova Scotia, with interests in surgery and public health, and is the founder of the Coalition for Dentalcare.

Perpetual Slavery

In Perpetual Slavery, Ciarán Finlayson investigates the relationship of art to freedom in the work of Cameron Rowland and Ralph Lemon, who both use imagery of labor haunted and structured by the historical experience of slavery. Finlayson suggests that these two artists’ work overcomes the dichotomy between the recording and interpretation of history by making both the object of artistic experience, thereby providing a space to grasp the continuing effects of slavery.

Notes on Evil

STEVEN WARWICK

What is evil? How is it categorized, understood, and used? Surveying examples from cinema, music, and politics, Notes on Evil provides observations on the mechanisms by which societies construct enemies in a collective bid to expel their “problems.” But does the label of evil help rid us of social ills? Or does it just lead to superficial purges that distract us from deeper forms of inequity? The artist and writer Steven Warwick offers a series of notes on the overlapping social architectures that frame our current discourse on good and evil, seeking to chart a path beyond our collective impasse.

STEVEN WARWICK is an artist, writer, and musician based in Berlin. His multidisciplinary practice spans formats including albums, galleries, nightclubs, and print publications. Warwick’s writing has appeared in Artforum, Texte zur Kunst, and Urbanomic

After Institutions

“Archey’s book articulates the possibility of a politicized art that goes beyond mere style without sacrificing the possibility of its appeal to a wider constituency.”

art-agenda

Faced with waning state support, declining revenue, and forced entrepreneurialism, museums have become a threatened public space. Simultaneously, they have assumed the role of institutional arbiter in issues of social justice and accountability. The practice of institutional critique has responded to the social embeddedness of art institutions by looking at the inner workings of such organizations. Expanding the definition of institutional critique, Karen Archey develops a broader understanding of contemporary art’s sociopolitical entanglements, looking beyond what cultural institutions were to what they are and what they might become.

KAREN ARCHEY is curator of contemporary art at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. She has organized solo exhibitions by artists Rineke Dijkstra, Catherine Christer Hennix, Steffani Jemison, Metahaven, Jeff Preiss, Charlotte Prodger, and Hito Steyerl.

Inside the Deal

How the EU Got Brexit Done

“[Provides] insight into the machinations of Brexit, our role as negotiators, and our efforts to bring the deal over the line.”

—Michel Barnier, chief EU Brexit negotiator

As a close aide to Michel Barnier, Stefaan De Rynck had a ringside seat in the Brexit negotiations. In this frank and uncompromising account, De Rynck demonstrates how the EU-27’s unity held firm while the UK vacillated throughout, changing negotiators, prime ministers, and even their aims and tactics. This book dispels some of the myths and spin that have become indelibly linked to the Brexit process. Theresa May’s deal—rejected three times by the UK parliament—is shown to have been a concession by the EU. Attempts by the UK to run down the clock and issue ultimatums to force the EU to acquiesce had no effect on the course of events, and it was in fact easier to negotiate with Johnson than with May. Furthermore, Brexit was not an EU fight with the UK. It was a fight to get a deal that worked for the EU.

STEFAAN DE RYNCK was a senior adviser to Michel Barnier, the Brexit negotiator for the European Union. He teaches at the Public Governance Institute of the University of Leuven.

The Mystery of How We Make Sense of the World

RAYMOND TALLIS

“It only helps that [Tallis] is a polymath, not an academic philosopher. Formally trained in medicine, he is well informed about science, and thus not intimidated by it, as too many academic philosophers are. Not least among his other virtues is the unacademic elegance of his prose.”

Raymond Tallis steps into the gap between mind and world to explore what is at stake in our attempts to make sense of our world and our lives. He argues that those who have sought to demystify our extraordinary capacity to understand the world by collapsing the distance between the mind that does the sense making and the world are deeply flawed. We need this very distance for there to be a distinction between the knower and the known.

RAYMOND TALLIS trained in medicine at Oxford University and at St Thomas’ Hospital London before becoming professor of geriatric medicine at the University of Manchester. He was elected a fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences for his research in clinical neuroscience. The Economist’s Intelligent Life magazine lists him as one of the world’s leading polymaths.

What Matters Most Conversations on the Art of Living

The ancient Greek philosopher Plotinus insisted that philosophy should be concerned with nothing less than “what matters most.” This collection of philosophical conversations by many of the world’s leading thinkers seeks to honor Plotinus’s vision by addressing questions related to the art of living. This collection expands the scope of this idea, foregrounding social and political questions alongside more traditional existential ones. How are we to think about the art of living together, of living with technology, of living under oppression, of living in the end times? These engaging and urgent conversations invite us to think anew about the complexities and challenges involved in living a good life in a world characterized by uncertainty and change.

Care

Reflections on Who We Are

TODD MAY

What is caring? What does a care ethics look like? What do we care about, and what deserves care? What does it mean to care about ourselves as well as others? How does caring make us vulnerable? With wit and insight, Todd May considers various approaches to care and offers an overview of the key role it plays in our lives. He addresses the difficulties of distinguishing between understanding care as a reflective attitude and as an emotion, between care and love, between caring for humans and caring for nonhuman animals, between self-care and concern for others, and between care and vulnerability. This book demonstrates that caring is a central aspect of our being, anchoring us to the world and to one another.

PHILOSOPHY: THE NEW BASICS

Conservatism

The nature of conservative ideology is and will continue to be contested. In this short history, Mark Garnett contends that the disagreements have been particularly strong in the instance of British conservatism because the ideological label continues to be used by a prominent political party. Whether hostile or friendly in intent, commentators on conservatism have found it difficult to avoid the assumption that British “conservatism” must, at all times, be reflected at least to some degree in the policy platforms of the Conservative Party. This book presents an account of British conservatism that avoids the usual confusion between the ideology and the stated principles of a party that prides itself on an ability to change its views according to circumstances. It shows that since the Tory Party adopted the name “Conservative” in the 1830s it has become increasingly difficult to associate its varying positions with a coherent “conservative” worldview.

SHORT HISTORIES

Thatcherism

Margaret Thatcher was and continues to be a hugely divisive figure. Her influence on British politics has long outlived her, with the Conservative Party becoming steadily more Thatcherite than it was under her leadership, especially on economic issues. Policies that support privatization, curbs on trade unions and employment rights (to promote further labor market flexibility), reductions in welfare provision, the replacement of collectivism with individualism, and the marketization of public services, including the NHS and education, to render them more businesslike are all Thatcherism in practice, and still continue today. However, the radical modernization of Britain that started under Thatcher’s leadership in the 1980s created the conditions that have led to the polarization of British society today.

Peter Dorey offers a lively analysis of how Thatcherism became an ideology, examining its relationship with its eponymous leader and with the Conservative Party, as well as its long-term implications.

Poverty and the World Order

The Mirage of SDG 1

The Sustainable Development Goals are designed, among other things, to eradicate extreme income poverty and to halve multidimensional poverty by 2030. How realistic is that goal? Robert Walker provides a critical examination of the promise and reality of SDG1. His message is stark: there is little chance of success. Although the need for a collective and coordinated response is clear, global and national systems of governance are currently incapable of an adequate response. Although the critique is largely negative, the book seeks to identify reforms necessary to meaningfully increase the likelihood of meeting SDG1’s goals. These include reshaping international institutions so that they give greater voice to governments in the developing world, facilitating enhanced modes of participatory governance, and increasing democratic accountability at a global level.

The Russian Economy

YUVAL WEBER

The tentative and inconsistent use of the market defines Russia’s modern economic history. Its leaders, dating back to tsarist times, have sought control over economic activity. Yuval Weber’s concise economic history of modern Russia surveys all key data from the mid-1960s to the present as well as examining regional imbalances, the military-industrial complex, rising consumerism, and this vast country’s legacy of social commitments and centralization and uneven levels of globalization. It also highlights the relevance of human factors— ethnic communities, struggles with health, and demography—and a strong education system bequeathed to it by the USSR. As Russia’s war in Ukraine has forced Europe to reconsider its dependence on Russian oil and gas, this book considers the future prospects for Russia’s economy and the system that underpins it.

What China’s Dual Circulation Strategy Means for Global Business

In April 2020, President Xi Jinping made a speech about the next steps in China’s economic trajectory and introduced the concept of dual-circulation. Echoing the West’s calls for a decoupling of national and international economies, China’s dual circulation strategy involves prioritizing domestic consumption with greater controls, protection, and delivery for its internal market. Representing a clear shift in China’s policies of reform and opening up, it will undoubtedly have ramifications for international businesses. In this concise and incisive analysis, Andrew Cainey and Christiane Prange examine the rhetoric and policies of the Chinese government in order to unpack the practical implications for the international community.

Chapters are structured around case studies of diverse countries’ growth models, considering national capabilities, policy traditions, industrial structures, positions in global value chains, and political/welfare state regimes. Through a nuanced comparative assessment of states’ responses to specific economic challenges, Steve Coulter draws broad conclusions about the trajectories of industrial policy and highlights key technical and political drivers that policy makers should consider when addressing whether best practice should center on general or nationally specific approaches.

STEVE COULTER is head of communications and publications at the European Trade Union Institute. He was previously a visiting fellow at the European Institute, London School of Economics, and a senior economics analyst for BBC News.

THE ECONOMY: KEY IDEAS

The Rise of State Capital Transforming Markets and International Politics

MILAN BABIĆ

The past two decades have seen a rapid rise in large-scale, state-led transnational investment from countries as varied as China, Norway, and Russia. This transformation of states into global economic actors is historically unprecedented and presents a major challenge for how states relate to one another in the international system.

Milan Babić examines how states have become major corporate owners in the global economy and unpacks why this alters our understanding of the state and international politics. Drawing on a firm-level dataset on state ownership in combination with in-depth historical and conceptual analysis, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the rise of the state in the global economy and its present and future consequences for international relations.

MILAN BABIĆ is assistant professor in global political economy at Roskilde University.

COMPARATIVE POLITICAL ECONOMY

Mexico City

Mexico City is the second-largest city on the American continent, the most populous Spanish-speaking city in the world, and the richest city in Latin America. This book explores the political structures, demography, economy, social issues, and public administration that make this megacity distinctive. Unique and vibrant, Mexico City has been run since the 1990s by left-wing parties with more progressive social and egalitarian concerns about urban problems and new proposals for different types of state participation. The book offers quantitative and qualitative assessments of the spatial structure of the city and its distribution of poverty as well as examination of its economic restructuring amid deindustrialization, the growth of the service sector, and an expanding informal economy.

New York

JILL S. GROSS AND H. V. SAVITCH

Jill S. Gross and H. V. Savitch examine the New York metropolis through the lens of a series of twenty-first-century pressures related to demography, economic growth, urban development, governance, immigration, leadership, and globalization. How New York’s institutions and policies have either risen to meet these challenges, stagnated in the face of them, or simply failed to resolve them is the focus of the book. In particular, the authors examine the municipality of New York City, the heart of the megacity, and how it navigates the increasingly complex battles with higher levels of government over rights and resource needs.

JILL S. GROSS is professor of political science in the Department of Urban Policy and Planning at Hunter College, City University of New York. She is director of the Graduate Program in Urban Policy and Leadership.

Divided They Fell

Crisis and the Collapse of Europe’s Centre-Left

SEAN M c DANIEL

Sean McDaniel examines the inability of the center-left to respond to the Great Recession more effectively, exploring the cases of the UK Labour Party and France’s Parti Socialiste. The book argues that intellectual and institutional path dependencies constrained the flow of fresh ideas and entrenched internal divisions, leaving them unable to offer an effective economic alternative. Divided They Fell helps to diagnose what has gone wrong for the centerleft in Europe and challenges us to consider whether such parties are capable of addressing new and emerging crises.

Enough! considers what a politics of justice and sustainability might entail if we recognized the centrality of uncertainty in our relations with the earth and one another. Mary Lawhon and Tyler McCreary develop the idea of a “modest imaginary,” which differs from both modern and antimodern approaches to sustainability. They argue that there is enough for all and that we can build a world where everyone experiences having enough.

“Huang does a masterful job of situating these texts in their historical and philosophical context, relying on the most current scholarly literature as well as insights gained from more recent discoveries, all in a very accessible style. Highly recommended.”

—Edward Slingerland, University of British Columbia

The Guodian corpus is a cache of literary and philosophical texts discovered in a Warring States–period tomb in Hubei Province. Through detailed decipherment of individual characters and phrases, this book investigates the philosophical import of these texts and proposes their association with Zisi, the famous grandson of Confucius. Kuan-yun Huang also discusses the connection of the Guodian texts with the intellectual tradition of Xunzi, Mencius, Confucius, and the legendary Laozi, as well as the process of rewriting that transformed Zisi’s original teachings into a conformist line of thinking.

Ukraine Is Not Dead Yet A Family

Story of Exile and Return

MEGAN BUSKEY

“Thoughtful and beautifully written.”

—Jan Gross, Princeton University

After her Ukraine-born grandmother passed away in 2013, Megan Buskey sought to uncover and document her life. The result is an extraordinary journey that traces one woman’s story across Ukraine’s difficult twentieth century, from a Galician village emerging from serfdom to the “bloodlands” of Eastern Europe during World War II to the Siberian hinterlands where Anna spent almost two decades in exile. Buskey encounters essential and sometimes disturbing aspects of Ukrainian history, such as Nazi collaboration, the persistence of Ukrainian nationalism, and the shattering impact of Russia’s invasion. Yet her wide-ranging inquiries lead her back to universal questions: What does family mean? And how can you best remember a complicated past that is at once foreign and personal?

MEGAN BUSKEY is a nonfiction writer who has contributed to the New York Times Book Review, The Atlantic, the New Republic, National Public Radio’s All Things Considered, and other outlets. She has been studying and writing about Ukraine for two decades.

Russia’s War Against Ukrainians

TARAS KUZIO WITH STEFAN JAJECZNYK-KELMAN

This book details how Russia’s February 2022 open invasion of Ukraine has led to the biggest military conflagration and refugee crisis in Europe since World War II—a development with global ramifications. Cowritten by a leading Western political expert with three decades of research on contemporary Ukraine and a prolific British journalist, the book explains why President Vladimir Putin of Russia has been long obsessed with Ukraine and how his reliance on dated nationalist myths as well as antiWestern xenophobia led him to miscalculate Ukrainian and Western reactions to his brazen aggression.

Behind the Scenes of the Empire Essays on Cultural Relationships between Ukraine and Russia

Russia has adorned its history with other peoples’ cultural achievements. Vira Ageyeva analyzes the Ukrainian resistance and struggle for preservation of collective memory through the prism of cultural process. The book reveals betrayals and collaborations, peculiarities of the development of colonized peoples under the pressure of empires, the tragedy of authors who must either renounce their talent or keep creating in the lack of freedom. Ageyeva covers the period from the nineteenth century to the present. She traces how authors either resisted the suppression of Ukrainian history or why they chose the empire—and what price they had to pay for that.

VIRA AGEYEVA is a professor at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, a Ukrainian writer, literary critic, and philologist. She is a joint winner of the Shevchenko National Prize (1996) and the Petro Mohyla Prize (2008).

Preserving the Spirit of Maidan: Art, Identity, and the Revolution of Dignity

GIOVANNI

Foreword by Chris Farrands

“This book gives voice and place to the memories and identity crafting processes since the Maidan revolution. A must-read.”

—Maria Raquel Freire, University of Coimbra

This book examines the relation between art created during the Revolution of Dignity and the mission of the Maidan Museum, which seeks to preserve the spirit of Maidan. Artists played a crucial role in creating the shared symbols, social myths, and collective imaginary that emerged in post-Maidan Ukrainian society. The book is based on interviews with artists who participated in the Maidan events and fieldwork at the Maidan Museum. It identifies the main elements, emotions, expectations, and motivations of art creation and Ukrainian post-Maidan identity formation.

The Ukrainian Oligarchy After the Euromaidan

How Ukraine’s Political Economy Regime Survived the Crisis

DAVID DALTON

Foreword by Andrew Wilson

“A thoroughgoing empirical study of one of the defining features of politics in Ukraine.”

—Sarah Whitmore, Oxford Brookes University

How did the Ukrainian oligarchy survive and manage to continue its extractive political and economic practices after the Euromaidan revolt of 2013–2014? This book analyzes the evolution of the Ukrainian super-rich, tracing the process of conversion of wealth into political influence through vote buying and the transformation of political influence back into wealth via rent-extraction schemes. David Dalton shows that continuity in informal practices and networks between the Yanukovych and Poroshenko presidencies prolonged the dominant political economy regime.

DAVID DALTON studied the political economy of modern Ukraine at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London. Before that, he was editor for Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, and Moldova at the Economist Intelligence Unit, the business information wing of the Economist Group.

Who Are the Fighters?

Irregular Armed Groups in the RussianUkrainian War since 2014

The war in Ukraine since 2014 has been fought by, among others, irregular armed groups—volunteers, paramilitaries, and mercenaries. Based on interviews in the Russian-controlled Donbas and with Ukrainian combatants, this book discusses various microdynamics of mobilization, group formation, and fighting. Russia increasingly employs mercenaries as a way to conduct undeclared but ruthless wars beyond its borders. Ukraine’s formation of irregular armed groups was a response to the army’s initially glaring inability to counter Russia’s military intervention. However, most of the irregular battalions acted from the beginning under governmental orders, and they have never operated autonomously.

Lithuania’s Liberation from Soviet Occupation and the Enlargement of NATO (1988–2022)

Foreword by Vytautas Landsbergis

“Furmonavicius’s book offers an extremely useful and essentially pioneering interpretation of Lithuania’s recovery of its national being and the enormous progress this small country has made since the nation regained its freedom.”

—Anthony Packer (1940–2014), former honorary counsellor of Lithuania in Cardiff, UK

This book analyzes security developments in Lithuania since 1988, a period marked by liberation from nearly fifty years of Soviet occupation, the collapse of the USSR, and the integration of the country into NATO. Darius Furmonavicius focuses on how Lithuania achieved liberation and how the country’s integration into the European and transatlantic security framework has influenced both its own and international security development.

—Slavoj Žižek, University of London/University of Ljubljana

The East European nations’ common past in the Soviet Union connects them in terms of both their political histories and the evolution of their philosophical thought. The USSR’s dissolution created new opportunities, but meant that philosophy lost its former significance as a political-ideological tool of the authorities and its previous role in society. Contributors to this book analyze the renewal of the philosophical enterprise over the last thirty to forty years in Belarus, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.

Stateless as a Site of Fear Stateless Women’s Experiences of Interpersonal Violence

NICOLETTA POLICEK

Foreword

“This is a much-needed book that highlights a hidden population group. Stateless women are still invisible victims of violence and here we have an opportunity to learn from their experiences.”

—Arduino Doni, Centre for Conflict and Migration

This book analyzes the nexus between statelessness and fear from the perspectives of stateless women and young girls who are victims of violence and abuse. Nicoletta Policek highlights the difficulties in the reporting of violence to law enforcement agencies and social and health-care practitioners, which leaves the victims to bear the consequences of abuse. This book includes a series of recommendations for both future research and ways research-informed practice can be fostered.

NICOLETTA POLICEK is a criminologist who holds a PhD from the University of Edinburgh. She has combined a career in academia with an interest in social justice and human rights, directing national and international NGOs.

An Anti-Marco Polo Voyage to Cathay HALL GARDNER

Hall Gardner’s novel depicts the protests taking place before the June 1989 Tiananmen Square repression. Hired to teach English, the protagonist records his experience in his “Anti-Marco Polo” journal after he meets expats from around the world and tries to understand Chinese language, history, and politics. Disillusioned with China as the democracy movement heats up, he is haunted by nightmares and torn between love interests.

The Taliban in Texas

Joey Torino is a man who has tired of the busy and dangerous life he has led and has simply decided to opt out. He has managed to escape to a happy and simple life in the northern forests of Maine. But then a message from his past arrives, and although those dangerous episodes in Russia are long past now, Joey’s “special skills” are needed again. Joey faces a difficult situation, involving the Russians, a complicated low-key civil conflict, ancient suspicions and animosities, and a ruthless, relentless enemy hidden in the mountains—in Afghanistan.

JOHN J. MARESCA spent a career as an American diplomat and negotiator. As an international conflict mediator, he travelled in war zones and was nicknamed "Full Metal Jack" by his colleagues in Washington. This is his second Joey Torino novel following The Russian Operation

Gödel Forever

Through 90 Years of Foundational Claims

This book takes a critical look at several claims on Gödelian incompleteness that have appeared in the literature over the years, strictly adhering to mathematical details. Between its range of critical review, on the one hand, and its elementary if detailed derivation of Gödel’s Result (on which it is based), on the other, Gödel Forever is a must-read for the serious study of the meaning and consequences of Gödel’s incompleteness theorem.

Foolosophy? Think Again, Sophie Ten Reasons for Not Taking Philosophy Too Seriously

COLIN SWATRIDGE

“I was very impressed by the range of sources Swatridge used, the scope of his analysis, and the focus of his specific critiques.”

—Anthony Morgan, editor of The Philosopher

After two and a half thousand years, philosophers have not come up with agreed answers to their questions that are any more useful or certain than those of thinkers who do not call themselves philosophers. Colin Swatridge asks if it is time to admit that there is nothing very special about philosophy.

COLIN SWATRIDGE teaches in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Miskolc University in Hungary.

Perspectives on Transitions in Refugee Education

Ruptures, Passages, and Re-Orientations

SEYDA SUBASI SINGH, OLJA JOVANOVIĆ, AND MICHELLE PROYER, EDITORS

Refugees face transitions in their lives at individual, social, and cultural levels. This book covers various aspects of these transitions and their intersections with educational experiences. Studies from different country contexts show the complex relationships among individual, culture, society, and institutions. Examining these relationships and experiences during transitional processes helps contribute to a deeper understanding of the different types of transitions in the context of refugee education, which may lead to an improvement of support structures in the future.

The 2051 Munich Climate Conference Future Visions of Climate Change

BENNO HEISEL, ANDREAS KOHN, THERESA SPIELMANN, AND CHRISTINA WEHRL, EDITORS

In September 2021, a special academic conference took place: the 2051 Munich Climate Conference. Researchers from across the academic spectrum assembled to discuss climate change. What made it unique was that everyone held their lecture as if it took place in an imagined year 2051, helping contributors break free of the constraints of the current discourse. Responding to an open call from theater collective Büro Grandezza, researchers reflected on on climate narratives, geoengineering, coastal adaptation, and other topics. This book collects works from the conference.

Doing Diversity in Museums and Heritage

A Berlin Ethnography

Museum and heritage sites have been shaken by debates over how to address colonialism, migration, Islamophobia, LGBTI+ identities, and other forms of difference. This major multi-researcher ethnography of museums and heritage sites in Berlin provides new insight into how diversity is understood and put into action in these locations. The book explores new initiatives and approaches and shows how they work—or do not—in practice. In doing so, it highlights ways forward for research and action.

The Vatican to Vegas

The History of Special Effects

Revised and expanded edition

The Vatican to Vegas takes the reader from lavish Baroque fantasies of the seventeenth century to the Electronic Baroque of today. The scripted spaces described by Norman Klein are punctuated with devices widely used in special effects since 1500: shocks, surprise twists, grand fakes, and copies. Since its publication in 2004, The Vatican to Vegas has emerged as a classic across many fields. Its timing was ironic: Klein assumed in 2004 that the future of scripted illusion was about to radically shift. This new edition brings the ironic story up to the present and into the digitally overwhelmed scripted spaces of the future.

A Tale of Two Unions

The British Union and the European Union After Brexit

MARK CORNER

Brexit is a tale of two unions, not one: the British and the European unions. Their origins are different, but both struggle to maintain unity in diversity and both have to face the challenge of populism and claims of democratic deficit. Mark Corner suggests that the four nations that make up the United Kingdom can only survive as part of a single nation-state if the country takes a more sympathetic look at the very European structures from which it has chosen to detach itself. This study addresses both academic and lay audiences interested in the current situation of the UK, particularly the strains raised by devolution and Brexit.

MARK CORNER has taught at universities in England, the Czech Republic, and Belgium. He was also a Labour politician in local government from 1988 to 1992.

The Story of Otto Kirchheimer and Carl Schmitt

HUBERTUS BUCHSTEIN

How did the relationship between politically disparate theorists Carl Schmitt and Otto Kirchheimer shape their political thinking? Hubertus Buchstein investigates the personal, political, and theoretical dimensions of the ties between the infamous legal theorist Schmitt and his former student Kirchheimer, who became a member of the Frankfurt School in exile. The various links between them illuminate crucial moments in the recent history of political ideas and legal theory in German and European contemporary history as well as transatlantic intellectual history. The book has implications for understanding the role of German exiles in the American academic system, anti-Semitism, and German-Jewish relations in the twentieth century.

HUBERTUS BUCHSTEIN is a professor of political theory at Greifswald Universität, Germany. He has also taught at the New School for Social Research.

Durable Economies

Managing the Material Foundations of Wealth and Prosperity

MELANIE JAEGER-ERBEN, HARALD WIESER, MAX MARWEDE, AND FLORIAN HOFMANN, EDITORS

Leaking water infrastructures, heritage tourism, investments in artworks, failing electronics: durability lies at the heart of a wide range of seemingly unrelated phenomena. Durable things are both a hugely significant source of wealth and a constant source of struggle. This book argues that a deeper engagement with durability is essential for reaching an understanding of how economies work and for envisaging alternative economies built on principles of environmental stewardship and social justice.

What are the characteristic features of avatar-based single-player video games, from Super Mario Bros. to Grand Theft Auto? Rune Klevjer examines this question with a particular focus on issues of fictionality and realism, and their relation to cinema and virtual reality. Through close-up analysis and philosophical discussion, Klevjer argues that avatar-based gaming is a distinctive and dominant form of virtual self-embodiment in digital culture.

Futures and Fantasies of Old Age

The sustained expansion of the life span and the attendant demographic changes in the West have fueled the production of cultural texts that explore alternative representations of aging and old age. The contributors to this book show how artists in science fiction, fantasy, and the avant-garde develop visions of late life transformation, improvisation, and adaptation to new circumstances. The studies particularly focus on perspectives on aging that challenge the predominant narratives of decline as well as fantasies of eternal youth as defined by neoliberal notions of health, able-bodiedness, agency, self-improvement, progress, plasticity, and productivity.

Photography, Geopolitics, and the Northern Landscape in the Era of Environmental Crisis

DARCY WHITE, JULIA PECK, AND CHRIS GOLDIE, EDITORS

In the context of an environmental crisis, photography and its related practices can be part of an emancipatory project, challenging techno-utopian solutions and envisioning alternative possibilities for sustaining life on this planet. This anthology critically addresses the geopolitics of environmental devastation from the perspective of photographers, artists, curators, and theorists. The contributors engage with recent debates about the Anthropocene and the need to identify the socioeconomic and political causes of climate change. The essays question the validity of images within which ecological crisis is seen as the consequence of undifferentiated human activity.

The Invention of “Outsider Art” Experiencing Practices of Othering in Contemporary Art Worlds in the UK

What does it mean to be called an outsider? Marion Scherr investigates structural inequalities and the myth of the other in Western art history, examining the role of outsider art in contemporary art worlds in the UK. By shifting the focus from art world professionals to those labeled outsider artists, Scherr counteracts one-sided representations of them being otherworldly, raw, and uninfluenced. Instead, the artists are presented as multifaceted individuals in constant exchange with their social environment, employing diverse strategies to deal with their exclusion. The book reframes their voices and artworks as complex, serious, and meaningful cultural contributions, offering a more inclusive, all-encompassing understanding of art.

MARION SCHERR is an artist, art therapist, and cultural anthropologist based in Berlin.

Transport in Capitalism

Transport Policy as Social Policy

Transport is the only sector that has not yet contributed to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. To understand why sustainable transport has not been developed yet, Oliver Schwedes highlights the special features of the transport sector and describes the political conditions for a successful change in transport development. He makes clear that technical innovations alone will not be enough; instead, transport policy must be practiced as social policy.

OLIVER SCHWEDES holds the Chair for Integrated Transport Planning at Technische Universität Berlin. He previously worked in the mobility project group at the Berlin Social Science Center.

The book shows why and how facts are a result of knowledge, rules, and norms as well as description, argumentation, and narration. This approach allows new perspectives on the concept of the fact and its impact on modernity.

Reading “Race” Relationally Embodied Dispositions and Social Structures in Colson Whitehead’s Novels

The Underground Railroad, Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize–winning 2016 novel, was widely praised for articulating the violence of chattel slavery and its aftermath. In contrast, his earlier novels were repeatedly criticized for not taking race seriously enough. Marlon Lieber argues that critics have often relied on a substantialist understanding of race and treated it as a cause rather than an effect of social relations of domination. Drawing on the relational sociology of Pierre Bourdieu, Lieber provides readings of Whitehead’s first six novels and their sophisticated understanding of the relation between late capitalist social structures and processes of racial classification.

MARLON LIEBER is an assistant professor of North American literature and culture at the Institute for English and American Studies at Goethe-Universität Frankfurt.

Finding a Path for China’s Rise

The Socialist State and the World Economy, 1970-1978

Discussion about the rise of China often gives emphasis to the Chinese economic reforms under Deng Xiaoping from 1978 onward. In contrast, little attention has been given to the prehistory of these reforms. Philippe Lionnet examines important steps in China’s agricultural, industrial, and foreign trade policies of the previous decade, contributing to the understanding of interdependencies between China and the world economy.

PHILIPPE LIONNET currently works as a foreign economic policy adviser for the Swiss Federal Administration.

The Discovery of Anxiousness

Philosophy and Mysticism in Baroque Portugal

Are anxiety and dread a confrontation with mortality and finitude? Joana Serrado inaugurates anxiousness as a category of mystical knowledge in this innovative historical and philosophical study. Based on the life and mystical writings of Joana de Jesus, a Cistercian nun and intellectual disciple of Teresa of Avila, this study shows the cultural embeddedness of anxiousness and reshapes feminist principles of autonomy, agency, and desire.

JOANA SERRADO is an assistant professor of Iberian cultural studies at Technische Universität Chemnitz.

Living the Opposite Sex Trans Journeys in Southern Spain

CHRISTOPH IMHOF

In 1947, with a civil war still raging, the Greek government chose the path of the capitalist countries. Miltiadis Zermpoulis examines the social and political changes brought about by the civil war, the dominance of conservatives in the political arena, and the promotion of political surveillance and compliance technologies in the daily life of Greece’s second largest city, Thessaloniki.

MILTIADIS ZERMPOULIS holds a PhD in social anthropology from the Department of Balkan, Slavic, and Oriental Studies at the University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki.

This ethnographic study concerns individuals in Andalusia who do not fit the sex and gender assigned to them at birth. Christoph Imhof investigates issues from the legacy of the Franco dictatorship to contemporary struggles for self-determination. He shows how trans people in southern Spain have achieved growing social, medical, and legal acceptance of gender nonconformity.

CHRISTOPH IMHOF is a research associate and lecturer at the School of Social Work at the Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz.

Death Is Served

The Serialization of Death and Its Conceptualization Through Food Metaphors in US Literature and Media

The American cultural imaginary is hungry for death. Stella Castelli shows how American culture fetishizes death as part of a repetition compulsion that stems from language’s inability to grasp death. Castelli investigates the forms and tropes born from this preoccupation with death. These metaphors of food consumption provide a hermeneutic framing for analyzing representations of death across American literature and media.

STELLA CASTELLI works as a teaching associate in the English Department at the Universität Zürich.

The Cultural Politics of Affect and Emotion

A Case Study of Chinese Reality TV

WEI

Drawing on the case of X-Change (2006-2019), Wei Dong investigates the affective meaning-making mechanism in the multimodal text of Chinese reality TV. Arguing that affect has the potential to challenge or exceed existing relations of power in the mediascape, this book shows how Chinese reality TV provides a historical and theoretical opportunity for understanding the affective structures of contemporary China in the process of fracture and integration.

WEI DONG studies affect theories and Chinese media culture. She completed her doctorate at the Institute for Media and Communication Studies, Freie Universität Berlin.

Putting Age in its Place

Long-Term Residential Care in Contemporary Film and Fiction

Through close readings of works by Margaret Atwood, Joan Barfoot, Oscar Casares, John Mighton, and several others, Ulla Kriebernegg explores how the setting at the nexus of home, hospital, hotel, and prison functions in the newly emerging genre of the care home novel. What role does this setting play for the narrative construction of old age, and what hopes and fears are revealed?

Kriebernegg argues that the spatiality of aging needs to be included in discussions of late life agency and care in the face of vulnerability.

ULLA KRIEBERNEGG is the director of the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Aging and Care and an associate professor of American studies at Universität Graz in Austria.

Fear of Aging Old Age in Horror Fiction and Film

In the genre of horror, elderly people are often used as a trope to evoke both a fear of death and a fear of aging. This book investigates what exactly we are afraid of when we posit old age as a source of horror. The aim is to harness the thrills and pleasures of horror to think about how quality of life can be improved in old age and how elderly people can be better integrated in our ever fearful and suspicious societies.

Reading Atmosfears

The Uncanny Climate of Contemporary Ecofiction

Natalie Dederichs draws on insights from the new materialisms about the entangled nature of planetary existence and combines them with approaches to aesthetics from fields as diverse as reader-response criticism, phenomenology, and Gothic and media studies. She introduces a poetics of atmospheric re(lation)ality as a necessary component of any ecological engagement with fiction that fully embraces literary encounters with the inaccessible and elusive as expressed in uncanny atmospheric reading experiences.

NATALIE DEDERICHS received her doctorate in Anglophone literatures and cultures at Rheinische FriedrichWilhelms-Universität Bonn.

On Making Fiction

Frankenstein and the Life of Stories

FRIEDERIKE DANEBROCK

Iconic texts such as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and its numerous adaptations stubbornly resist our attempts to classify them as mere representations of reality. Friederike Danebrock shows how these texts insist that we take them seriously as agents and interlocutors in our world- and culturemaking activities. Drawing on this analysis, she develops a theory of narrative fiction as a generative practice.

FRIEDERIKE DANEBROCK completed her doctorate in English Literature at Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf and was a member of the German Research Foundation (DFG) postgraduate program.

Racialized Residents on Urban Development and Social Mix Planning in a Hamburg Neighbourhood

In a neighborhood facing massive redevelopment, racialized residents speak about stigma, social mixing, and what the island community means to them. Based on rich interviews, photographs, and archival research, Julie Chamberlain examines how constructing some groups as not belonging has shaped Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg’s past and present. For racialized long-time residents, it is a space of belonging in the context of exclusion.

REREADINGS

Short and accessible books by scholars, writers, and critics, each one revisiting a favorite post-1970 novel from the vantage point of the now. Taking a look at novels both celebrated and neglected, the series aims to display the full range of the possibilities of criticism, with books that experiment with form, voice, and method in an attempt to find different paths among scholarship, theory, and creative writing.

NO LIMITS

No Limits brings together creative thinkers who delight in the pleasure of intellectual hunting, wherever the hunt may take them and whatever critical boundaries they have to trample as they go. And in so doing they prove that such searching is not just rewarding but also transformative. There are no limits to knowledge and self-knowledge—just as there are none to self-fashioning.
