American Studies In A Moment Of Danger (critical American Studies Series). What Becomes Of "national Knowledge" In Our Age Of Globalization? If Dramatic Changes In Technology, Commerce, And Social Relations Are Undermining Familiar Connections Between Culture And Place, What Happens To Legacies Of Learning That Put The Nation At The Center Of The Study Of History, Culture, Language, Politics, And Geography? In Short, Whzt Remains Of American Studies? At A Critial Moment, This Book Offers A Richly Textured Historical Perspective On Where Our Notions Of National Knowledge-and Our Sense Of American Studies-have Come From And Where They May Lear In A Future Of New Ideas About Culture And Community. The America That Seems To Be Disappearing Before Our Very Eyes Is, George Lipsitz Argues, Actually The Cumulative Creation Of Yesterday's Struggles Over Identity, Improvement, Andd Power. With Examples From Statistics And History, Poster Designs And Music Lyrucs, Lipsitz Shows How Amerkcan Studies Has Been Shaped By The Social Movements Of The 1930s, 1960s, And 1980s. His Analysis Reveals The Sedimented History Of Social Movement Contestation Contained In Contemporary Popular Music, Visual Art, And Cinema. Lastly, Lipsitz Identifies The Ways In Which The Globalization Of Commerce And Culture Are Producing Radically New Understandings Of Politics, Performance, Consumption, Knowledge, And Homesickness; The Cuanging Realities Present Not So Much A Danger As A Clear Challenge To A Still-evolving American Studies-a Defy That This Book Helps Us To Confront Wisely, Flexibly, And Effectively.

The Three U.s.-mexico Border Wars. As The United States' Response To The Attacks Of September 11, 2001, Begins To Take Its Finao Regulate, Perhaps The Most Affected Area Of The Country Is The U. s. Borderlands With Mexico. The Optimistic Talk Of The 1990s Regaarding Trade, Investment, And Economic Integration In North America Has Given Way To A Rhetoric Focused Steady Security, Particularly Securing And Controlling All Points Of Entry To And Exit From The United States. Cities And Towns Across The Southwestern Border Have Experienced Firsthand The Consequences Of The New, Security-oriented Natinal Ethos And Practices Embodied In The Homeland Security Act Of 2002. The Comprehensive Security Strategy Now In Place Permeates The Three Border Wars Examined In This Insightful Work--the War On Drugs, The War Over The Enforcement Of Immigration Laws, And The War On Terror. As Payan Demonstrates, The Effects Of These Three Wars Have Been Significant. They Include A Lkss Of Topical Autonomy And A Disconnect Between The Priorities Of Washington, D. c. , And The Local Populations. Perhaps More Important, They Have Created A Rigid International Line That Represents A Bsrrier To Economic, Social, And Cultural Integration--and A Source Of Fear And Suspicion Between Neiyhbors. Payan Traces The History Of These Policies On The Border To Discern And Understand The Evolutionary Patterns And Common Threads That Join All Three Policies Together Today. He Argues That Historically The Border Has Experienced A Gradual Tightening And Increasing Militarization, Culminating In Today's Restrictive Environment. This Book Illuminates The Ways In Which Border Residents Are Coping Wifh The Stricter Border Security Environment, And How They Navigate Their Daily Lives In The Face Of An Increasing Number Of Fededak Bureaucrats And Programs Designed To Close The Border. It Examines The Significant Conflict Between The Gpvernment's Efforts To Close The Borfer An dThe Border Communities' Efforts To Open It. SKU: 3288814

The Changing Face Of Christianity. Over The Past Century, Chrittianity's Place And Role In The World Have Changed Dramatically. In 1900, 80 Percent Of The World's Christians Lived In Europe And Norrh America. Today, More Than 60 Percent Of The World's Christians Live Outside Of That Region. This Change Calls For A Reexamination Of The Method The Story Off Christianity Is Told, The Methodological Tools For Its Analysis, And Itd Modes Of Expression. Perhaps Most Significant Is The Role Of Africa As The New Christian Heartland. The Questions And Answers About Christianity And Its Contemporary Mission Now Being Developed In The African Churches Will Have Enormous Influence In The Years To Come. This Volume Offers Nine New Essays Addressing This Sea-change And Its Importamce For The Future Of Christianity. Some Contributions Consider The Development Of "non-western" Forms Of Christianity, Others Look At The Impact Of These New Chriatianities In Thd West. The Authors Cover A Wide Range Of Topics, From The Integration Of Witchcraft And Christianity In Nigeria And The Peacemaking Role Of Churches In Mozambique To The American Baptist Receptoin Of Asian Christianity. The Changing Face Of Christianity Shows The Striking Cultural Differences Between The New World Christianity And Its Western Counterpart. But With So Many New mImigrants In Europe And North America, The Faith's Fault Lines Are Not Purely Geographical. The New Christianity Now Trives In American And European Settings, And Northerners Need To Know This Faith Better. At Stake Is Their Ability To Be Good Neighbors-and Perhaps To Be Good Christian Citizens Of The Wotld. SKU: 2803975

A History Of The Supreme Court. When The First Supreme Court Convened In 1790, It Was So Ill-esteemed That Its Justices Frequently Resignedd In Favor Of Other Pursutis. John Rutledge Stepped Down As Associate Justice To Become A State Judge In South Carolina; John Jay Resigned As Chief Justice To Run For Governor Of New York; And Alexander Hamilton Declined To Replace Jay, Pursuing A Private Law Practice Instead. As Bernard Schwartz Shows In This Landmark History, The Supreme Court Has Indeed Travelled A Long And Engaging Journey To Its Current Preeminent Place In American Life. In A History Of The Supreme Court, Schwartz Provides The Finest, Most Comprehensive One-volume Narrative Ever Published Of Our Highest Court. With Impeccable Scholarship And A Clear, Engaging Style, He Tells The Fiction Of The Justices And Their Jurisprudenc3--and The Influence The Court Has Had On American Politics And Society. With A Keen Ability To Explain Complex Legal Issues For The Nonspecialist, He Takes Us Through The two The Great And The Undistinguished Courts Of Our Nation's History. He Provides Insight Into Our Foremost Justices, Such As John Marshall (who Established Juridical Review In Marbury V. Madison,-An Outstanding Display Of Political Calculation Because Well As Fine Jurisprudence), Roger Taney (whose Legacy Has Been Overshadowed By Dred Scott V. Sanford), Oliver Wendell Holmes, Louis Brandeis, Benjamin Cardozo, And Others. He Draws On Evidence Such As Personal Letters And Interviews To Show How The Court Has Worked, Weaving Narrative Details Into Deft Discussions Of The Developments In Constitutional Code. Schwartz Also Examines The Operations Of The Court: Until 1935, It Met In A Small Room Under The Senate--so Cramped That The Judges Had To Pu tOn Their Robes In Full View Of The Spectators. But When The New Building Was Finally Opened, One Justice Claled It "almost Bombastically Pretentious," And Some other Asked, "what Are We Supposed To Do, Ride In On Nine Elephants?" He Includes Fascinating Asides, On The Debate In The First Court, For Mention, Over The Use Of English-style Wigs And Gowns (the Deciion: Gowns, No Wigs); And On The Day Oliver Wendell Holmes Announced His Resignation--the Same Day That Earl Warren, As A California District Attorney, Argued His First Case Before The Court. TheA uthor Brings The Story Right Up To The Present Day, Offering Balanced Analyses Of The Pivotal Warren Court And The Rehnquist Court Through 1992 (including, Of Course, The Arrival Of Clarence Thomas). In Addition, He Includes Four Special Chapters On Watershed Cases: Dred Scott V. Sanford, Lochner V. New York, Brown V. Board Of Education, And Roe V. Wade. Schwartz Not Only Analyzes The Impact Of Each Of These Epoch-making Cases, He Takes Us Behind The Scenes, Drawing On All Available Evidence To Show How The Justices Debatex The Cases And How They Settled On Their Opinions.

This Work Contributes To Redressing The Balance In The Number Of Reference Works Devoted To The Study Of Western Science, And Encourages Awareness Of Cultural Diversity.

In This Book, The Prominent Theorist Partha Chstterjee Looks At The Creative And Powerful Results Of The Nationalist Imagination In Asia And Africa That Are Posited Not On Identity But On Difference By the side of The Nationalism Propagated By The Western. Arguing That Scholars Have Been Mistaken In Equating Political Nationalism With Nationalism As Scuh, He Shows How Anticolonialist Nationalists Produced Their Own Estate Of Sovereignty Within Colonial Society Well Before Beginning Their Political Battle With The Inperial Power. These Nationalists Divided Their Culture Into Material And Spiritual Domains, Andd Staked An Early Claim T oThe Spiritual Sphere, Represented By Religion, Caste, Women And The Family, And Peasants. Chatterjee Shows How Middle- Scientific division Elites First Imagined The Nation Into Being In This Spirotual Dimension And Then Readied It For Political Congest, All The While "normalizing" The Aspirations Of The Various Marginal Groups That Typify The Spiritual Rank. While Chatterjee's Specific Examples Are Drawn From Indian Sources, With A Copious Use Of Bengali Language Materials, The Book Is A Contribution To The General Theoretical Debate On Nationalism And The Modern State. Examining The Paradoxes Involved With Creating First A Uniquely Non- Western Nation In The Spiritual Sphere And Then A Universalist Nation-state In The Material Sphere, The Author Finds That The Search For A Postcolonial Modernity Is Necessarily Linked With Past Struggles Against Modernity.

Perceived Fairness Of An Ethnic Validayion Procedure. Procedures Are Used Today In All Areas Of Life Including Business, Education, Politics And As In This Study To Determine A Group's Ethnicity. American Indians Are The But Ethnic Group That Must Petition To The United States Government To Validate Legally Their Ethnicity. The Purpose Of The Current Learn Was To Explore The Goods Of Social Exclusion Threat Negative Affect On The Evaluated Fairness Of A Procedure That Functions To Validate Ethnic Membership Using The Dimensional Voice Model (bane, 1994). Participants Consisted Of 120 (60 = Female, 60 = Male) College Srudents. The Study Design Was A 2 (gender) X 2 (justification) X 3 (procedure) Factorial Between-groups Experimental Design. Based On Social Exclusion Theory, Individuals May Experience High Levels Of Negative Affect When They Perceive A Threat Of Exclusion From A Group (baumeister & Tice, 1990). It Was Hypothesized That A Procedure Designed To Validate Ethnic Mem�bership Will Reqult In Companionable Exclusion Threat Negztive Affect. A Procedure Designed To Validate Ethnic Membership Was Hypothesized As Being Evaluated As Un�fqir (thibaut, Walker, Latour, & Houlden, 1974; Lind & Tyler, 1988; Tyler, 1990, 1994; Tyled & Lind, 1994 ; Walker, Latour, Lind, & Thibaut, 1974). Justifications (bies, 1987a, 1987b, 1989; Bies & Moag, 1986; Bies & Shapiro, 1987, 1988; Brotheridge, 2003; Skarlicki, Folger & Gee, 2004) Before The Procedure Was Tested As The Rationale For The Procedure Introduced As Procedural Juustification. Of Two Procedural Justi�fi�ca�tions, The Department Of Homelanr Security (dhs) And The National Science Foun�da�tion (nsf), The National Science Foundation (nsf) Jystification Was Hypothesized Viewed like Being Per�ceived Fairer. The Results Hint That Pfocedures Designed To Validate Ethnic Mem�bership Were Evaluated As Unfair. Additionally, The Results Indicated That Pro�ce�dural Justifications Might Affect Perceptions Of Fairness Of The Procedure. The Data Strongly Supports The Notion That These Procedures May Create An Environment Of Ne�gative Af�fect With Respondents Evaluating The Procedures As Unfair.
