The Gaelic and Indian Origins of the American Revolution offers a new, comparative history of the American Revolution that puts colonized people at the center of the story. It shows how Irish-speaking Catholics, Scottish Highlanders, and American Indians remade the British empire-and convinced American colonists to leave it in the process. To understand Americans' contemporary struggles with diversity, this complex imperial history is essential.

Calvinist Conformity in Post-Reformation England is the first modern full-scale examination of the theology and life of the distinguished English Calvinist clergyman Daniel Featley (1582-1645). It offers a comprehensive treatment of his two dozen published works and manuscripts and situates these works within their original historical context. The work uses Featley's career to trace the fortunes of Calvinist conformists-those English Calvinists who werecommitted to the established Church and represented the Church's majority position between 1560 and the mid-1620s-and offers a more nuanced perspective on the priorities and political maneuvers of these figures and the politics of religion in post-Reformation England.

Based on fieldwork in the Romanian village of Sateni, this book offers an ethnographic, interdisciplinary interpretation of social interactions in a low trust society. Radu Umbres makes sense of the villagers' worldview, one divided between strong moral relationships and deep suspicion towards the rest of the village society.

"A renewed emphasis on more traditional forms of literacy that is, sustained reading, writing, and thinking comes at a particularly urgent moment. In a world of alternative facts and fake news, the importance of a well and deeply educated citizenry is reinvigorated. Consequently, even within the multimodal classroom, many instructors have continued (or have begun anew) to introduce (or reintroduce) the modes to employ readings that direct students to read carefully, to respond and argue cogently and accountably, and to become nimble and ready writers, no matter the occasion for writing. The Oxford Reader aims to distinguish itself by offering not only an expected mix of classic and contemporary selections, but also a variety of genres to emphasize nonfiction but not exclude some literary works as well as prominent pieces from blogs and other online sources. This spectrum of voices and genres and time periods will illustrate that what is considered contemporary thinking often has its roots elsewhere"--

Lifting the Chains is a history of the Black experience in America since the Civil War, told by one of our mostdistinguished historians of modern America, William H. Chafe. Chafe highlights the role of all-black institutions-especially the churches, lodges, local gangs, neighborhood women's groups, and the Black college clubs that gathered at local pool halls-that talked up the issues, examined different courses of action, and then put their lives on the line to make change happen. Drawing on the tremendous oral history archives at Duke that Chafe founded and nurtured, the book includes unpublishedoral histories of Black Activism.

In On Dangerous Ground, Gregory B. Poling evaluates US interests in the world's most complex and dangerous maritime disputes: American involvement in the South China Sea. Providing a deep history of America's geostrategy in the region from the late 19th century to present day, he focuses on how the dispute intersected with the longstanding US commitment to freedom of the seas and its evolving alliance network in Asia. With a heavy emphasis on decisions madeby policymakers in Washington, Manila, and other Southeast Asian capitals, this book not only provides the most comprehensive account yet of America's history in the South China Sea, but it also demonstrates how that history should inform US national security policy in one of the most geopolitically importantocean areas in the world.

In Diminishing Returns, Lucio Baccaro, Mark Blyth, and Jonas Pontusson bring together a list of top contributors in the field to examine capitalist economies in times where economic growth has slowed down considerably. As economic growth is a powerful social stabilizer and contributes to make the characteristic features of capitalism, the key question motivating the volume is: What happens when growth-the main mechanism of capitalist legitimation-is harderto come by and less broadly shared? The volume analyzes the politics of growth and stagnation at the country, regional, and global level through a new theoretical framework: the Growth Model Perspective.

Though the Qatar 2022 FIFA Men''s World Cup is for many a symbol of long-standing corruption and human rights problems, the event may actually represent something entirely new. Megasports are now demonstrating a capacity to leave what this book calls a human rights and anti-corruption legacy: norms, practices, policies, or laws that have application beyond sport, are likely to endure after the event, and the implementation of which is accelerated by hosting theevent. In the 2010s, Brazil''s hosting of the FIFA Men''s World Cup and Summer Olympics, and then South Korea''s hosting of the Winter Olympics, left what this book calls reactive, accidental, and one-dimensional anti-corruption legacies. Most would be shocked to find that Qatar now moves this legacyconcept forward, undertaking to create megasports'' first intentional and proactive human rights legacy. The first and perhaps best opportunity to build a proactive, intentional, and two-dimensional human rights and anti-corruption legacy lies in France, as it prepares to host the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics while implementing new landmark anti-corruption and human rights laws. The concept may still advance in Australia and New Zealand (2023 FIFA Women''s World Cup) and Italy (2026 Milan CortinaWinter Olympics). However, the United Bid of Canada, the United States, and Mexico has promised the first proactive, intentional, and two-dimensional legacy around the 2026 FIFA Men''s World Cup. The book analyzes existing megasport policies and practices, then suggests reforms to acknowledge andsupport these new legacies.

That we owe duties to others is a commonplace, the subject of countless philosophical treatises and monographs. Morality is interpersonal and other-directed, many claim. But what of what we owe ourselves? This is the first contemporary book-length treatment of the topic of duties to the self. Paul Schofield explores how this theory impacts many areas of moral philosophy, including practical reasoning, moral psychology, and moral emotions. He also discusses manyprominent topics in political philosophy through this lens, including distributive justice, coercion, law, legitimacy, and paternalism.

It''s been more than fifty years since Harold Garfinkel created the field of ethnomethodologyΓÇöa discipline that offers a new way of understanding how people make sense of their everyday world. Since his book Studies in Ethnomethodology published in 1967, there has been a substantialΓÇöalthough often subterraneanΓÇögrowth in ethnomethodological (EM) work. Studies in and appreciation of ethnomethodological work continue to grow, but the breadth and penetrationof his insights and inspiration for ongoing research have yet to secure their full measure of recognition. This volume celebrates Harold Garfinkel''s enormous contributions to sociology and conversation analysis, exploring how ethnomethodology emerged, the empirical consequences of Garfinkel''s work, and the significant contemporary work that has resulted from it. Douglas W. Maynard and John Heritage bring together experts from a wide range of theoretical and empirical areas to create the first comprehensive collection of work on EM that encompasses its role in "studies of work," in ConversationAnalysis, and in other subdisciplines. Chapters highlight ethnomethodology''s distinctive forms of ethnographic inquiry and its influences on a host of substantive domains including legal environments, science and technology, workplace and organizational inquiries, survey research, social problems anddeviance, and disability and atypical interaction. The book explains how EM especially helped to set the agenda for gender studies, while also developing insights for inquiries into racial and ethnic features of everyday life and experience. Still, there is much of what Garfinkel called "unfinished business," which means that ethnomethodological inquiries are continuing to intensify and develop. Harold Garfinkel and Ethnomethodology ddresses this unfinished business: not only drawing attention to past accomplishments in the field, but also suggesting how these accomplishments set the stage for future endeavors that will benefit from EM-inspired approaches to social organization and interaction.
