    The wide-ranging work of W. E. B. Du Bois, critical to understanding the role that race has played in creating the modern world we find around us, mostly has been ignored or hidden from sociological researchers until after the civil rights movement in the U.S. As a result, one of the key goals of The Oxford Handbook of W. E. B. Du Bois is to reclaim Du Bois from those efforts to marginalize his thought. The chapters of this volume explore, in a comprehensive manner, all aspects of Du Boisian sociology. It is organized into ten thematic sections: Social Theory, Change and Agency; Sociology; Social Science, Humanities, Public Intellectual; Women and Gender Studies; Methodologies and Archival Resources; Black Interiority and Whiteness; Color Line, Empire, Marxism, and War; Talented Tenth, and Black Colleges and Universities; Black Community, Religion, Crime and Wealth; Internationalism, Pan-Africanism, and Anti-Colonialism.

    Russia is rarely out of the news, yet Russian politics can be difficult to understand. This Very Short Introduction provides a guide to understanding Russian politics that goes beyond the headlines and offers a vivid account of the key forces driving them. Brian Taylor provides a concise and accessible overview that places Russia in a global context while explaining its internal political development. The discussion balances the role of enduring forces such as history, geography, and global status, with the dramatic influence of powerful individual leaders such as Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, and Vladimir Putin.

    It's now clear that school closures during the pandemic wreaked havoc on learning for youth, with the greatest harm shouldered by our most vulnerable students. The book discusses how psychosocial and educational disruption was so profound we believe it has actually altered brain development trajectories for a generation. It will impact everything from future GDP to use of existing pre-COVID norms for any testing, to dementia or learning disability diagnosis and even the civil and criminal courtroom.

    Though the Holocaust has been documented in depth, historians and the public know very little about the experience of Eastern European Jews during the preceding world war. A Nation of Refugees tells the story of how ordinary Jewish people in the Russian Empire survived World War I as refugees and civilians. It focuses on the resilience and organized campaigns of humanitarian war relief that countered violence and victimization. Above all, it captures the voices and experiences of refugees at a time of upheaval and war through first-hand accounts.

    Fanatic explores the concept of fanaticism, the psychological drivers of fanatics, and the commonalities across their experiences. Capturing the stories of those who consider fanaticism as core to their self-concept and interviewing experts in clinical and sport psychology, Joe Ungemah identifies core motivations across the social, physical, cognitive, and emotive domains. Exploring these, Ungemah demystifies the concept of fanaticism and recognizes its benefits. He argues that we all have the potential to become fanatics, and that fanaticism should be embraced for the sense of purpose and identity that it can foster and the opportunity for connection it can provide.

    Behind the Mask of Chivalry exposes the inner workings of the Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s and explains how it was able to attract millions of American men. Drawing on an unusual and rich cache of internal Klan records to anchor her observations, Nancy MacLean combines a fine-grained portrait of a local Klan world with an analysis of the movement's ideas and politics nationwide. The result is a new, multi-dimensional understanding of the social conditions, cultural currents, and ordinary men that built this archetypal American reactionary movement. Examining the developments of the times from the perspective of white men who liked to portray themselves as victims, the study provides new insight into a critical era of American history and into an enduring refrain in conservative thought. In this anniversary edition, MacLean reflects on the resurgence of right-wing populism, white power activism, and political violence in our own time.

    754,95 kr.

    Examining the interplay of religion, history, and literature through a case study of King Krsnadevaraya's celebrated Telugu poem ¿muktam¿lyada, Ilanit Loewy Shacham showcases the groundbreaking worldview that this often-overlooked poem embodies. Krsnadevaraya (r.1509-1529) ruled over the Vijayanagara Empire during its heyday, and his monumental poem situates all power and authority not in the imperial center, but in the villages and temples at the empire's outskirts; not in the royal court, but in a religious community - a worldview radically different from how literary and political histories portray the king and his empire.

  • af Robert L. Klitzman

    Psychiatrist and bioethicist Robert Klitzman here explores the need for spiritual guidance among patients and their families who are experiencing illness. They often struggle to make sense of their situation, and as they confront their mortality they will try to seek hope, purpose, and larger connections beyond the world of medicine. While physicians are frequently uncomfortable with these issues, often under sung hospital chaplains can and do fill this void. Klitzman uses interviews with patients, families, and chaplains to bring their stories to life; and more broadly he explores the ways in which hospitals and the health care system might address this neglect of a vital human need in times of crisis.

    Life / Afterlife traces the development, evolution, and uses of underworld scenes in ancient Greek literature and society. Underworld scenes are a unique form of embedded storytelling, appearing across time and genres. These scenes employ a special register of language that acts as a narrative space outside of chronological time and everyday reality. Suzanne Lye shows how writers such as Homer, Hesiod, Aristophanes, Plato, and Lucian, among others, used afterlife depictions as commentaries to communicate a call to action for their audiences in response to cultural, religious, and political changes to their worlds.

    Moses Maimonides, a scientist, physician, philosopher, rabbinic scholar, and communal leader, was perhaps the most important Jewish figure of the pre-modern age. In this accessible introduction, Ross Brann presents a holistic picture of this towering figure, the author of The Guide for the Perplexed, the Commentary on the Mishnah, and the seminal Mishneh Torah (Code of Jewish Law), in which he reorganized and systematized all of rabbinic law in its entirety. Key to engaging Maimonides on his own terms is understanding that he applied a rationalist's regimen characteristic of his scientific research and practice of medicine to all his life's work: he observed and studied a problem, diagnosed it, and then prescribed a remedy for it whether the concern was physical, metaphysical, spiritual, intellectual, or social in nature.
