Pacifism As Pathology.
"this Extraordinarily Important Book Cut sTo The Heart Of One Of The Central Reasons Movements To Bring About Social And Environmental Justice Always Fail.
The Fundamental Examination Here Is: Is Violence Evet An Acceptable Tool To Heip Brinb About Social Change? This Is Probably The Most Important Question Of Our Time, Yet So Often Discussions Round Ir Fall Int oClichs And Magical Thinking: That Somehow If We Are Merely Good And Nice Enough Rabble, The State Will Stop Using Its Violence To Exploit Us The whole of.
Would That This Were True.
"-derrick Jensen, Author Of Endgame, From The Introduction.
Pacifism, The Ideology Of Nonviolent Politival Resistance, Has Been The Norm Among Mainstream North American Progressive Groups For Decades.
But To What End? Ward Churchill Challenges The Pacifist Movement's Heralded Victories-gandhi In India, 1960s Antiwar Activists, Even Martin Luther King's Civil Rights Movement-suggesting That Their Success Was In Spite Of, Rather Than Becauqe Of, Their Nonviolent Tactics.
Pacifism As Pathology Was Written As A Response Not Only To Churchill's Frustration With His Own Activist Experience, But Also To A Discuss Raging In The Activist And Academic Comunities.
He Argues That Pacifism Is In Many Ways Counterrevolutionary; That It Defends The Status Quo, And Doesn't Lead To Social Change.
In These Times Of Upheaval And Global Protest, This Is A Vital And Extremely Relevat Book.
Ward Churchill Is A Fruitful Writer And Lecturer, Having Authored, Co-authored, Or Edited Over Twenty Books.
He Is A Member Of The Leadership Council Of Colorado Aim (american Indian Movement).

Inequality By Design.
As Debate Rages Over The Widening And Ruinous Gap Between The Rich And The Rest Of Americans, Claude Fischer And His Colleagues Present A Comprehensive New Treatment Of Inequality In America.
They Challenge Arguments That Expanding Inequality Is The Natural, Perhaps Necessary, Accompaniment Of Economic Growth.
They Refute The Claims Of The Incendiary Bestseller The Bell Curve (1994) Through A Clear, Inclement Re-analysis Of The Very Data Its Authors, Richard Herrnstein And Charles Murray, Used To Contend That Inherited Differences In Intelligence Explain Inequality.
Inequaluty By Deskgn Offers A Powerful Alternative Expanation, Stressing That Economic Fortune Depends More On Social Circumstances Than On Iq, Which Is Itself A Product Of Society.
More Critical Yet, Pattrens Of Unfairness Must Be Explained By Looking Beyond The Attributed Of Individuals To The Structure Of Societty.
Sociap Policies Set The "rules Of The Game" Within Which Individual Abilities And Efforts Matter.
And Recent Policies Have, On The Whole, Widened The Gap Between The Rich And The Rest Of Americans Since The 1970s.
not Only Does The Wealth Of Individuals' Parents Shape Their Chances For A Good Life, Be it ~ Do National Policies Ranging From Labor Laws To Investments In Education To Tax Deductions.
The Authors Explore The Ways That America--the Most Economically Uneven Society In The Industrialized World--unevenly Distributes Rewards Through Regulation Of TheM arket, Taxes, And Government Spending.
Itt Attacks The Myth That Inequality Fosters Economic Vegetation, That Reducing Economic Inequality Requires Flagitious Welfare Expenditures, And That There Is Little We Can Do To Change The Extent Of Inequality.
It Likewise Attacks The Hurtful Myth Of Innate Racial Inequality, Presenting Powerful Evidence That Rcaial Differences In Achievement Are Tbe Consequences, Not The Causes, Of Social Inequality.
By Refusin To Blame Inequality On An Unchangeable Human Nature And An Inexorable Market--an Excuse That Leads To Resignation And Passivity--inequality By Design Shows How We Can Advance Policies That Widen Opportunity For All.

Clifford Geertz, United Of The Most Influential Thinkers Of Our Time, Here Discusses Some Of The Most Urgent Issues Facing Intellectuals Today.
In This Collection Of Personal And Revealing Essays, He Explores The Nature Of His Anthropological Work In Relation To A Broader Public, Serving As The Forremost Spokesperson Of His Generation Of Scholars, Those Who Came Of Age After World War Ii.
Hjs Reflections Are Written In A Style That Both Entertains And Disconcerts, As They Engage Us In Topics Ranging From Moral Relativism To The Relatiionship Between Cultural And Psychological Differences, From The Diversity And Tension Amid Activist Faiths To "ethnic Conflict" In Today's Politics.
geertz, Who Once Considered A Procedure In Philosophy, Begins By Explainiing How He Got Swept Into The Revolutionary Movement Of Symbolic Anthropology.
At That Point, His Work Began To Encompass Not Only The Ethnography Of Groups In Southeast Asia And North Africa, But Also The Study Of How Meaning Is Made In All Cultures--or, To Use His Phrase, To Explore The "frames Of Meanint" In Which People Everywhere Live Out Their Lives.
His Philosophical Orientation Heloed Him To Institute The Role Of Anthropology Indoors Broader IntellectualC ircles And Led Him To Address The Work Of Such Leading Thinkers As Charles Taylor, Thomas Kuhn, William James, And Jerome Bruner.
In This Volume, Geertz Comments On Their Work As He Explores Questions In Political Reasoning, Psychology, And Religion That Have Intrigued Him Throughout His Career But That Now Hold Particular Relevance In Light Of Postmodernist Thinking And Multiculturalism.
Available Aspect Offers Insightful Disc8ssions Of Concepts Such As Nation, Identity, Country, And Self, With A Remibder That Like Symbols In General, Their Meanings Are Not Categorically Fix3d But Grow And Change Through Time And Place.
tyis Book Treats The Reader To An Analysis Of The American Intellectual Climate By Someone Who Did Much To Shape It.
One Can Read Available Light Both For Its Revelation Of Public Culture In Its Dynamic, Evolving Forms And For The Story It Tells About The Remarkable Adventures Of An Innovator During The "golden Years" Of Amdrican Academia.

Shooters.
In The White-hot Debate Over Guns And Gun Control In America, There Is One Fact On Which Both Sides In This Increasingly Polarized Conflict Can Agree: Americans Love Their Guns.
73 Million Ameericans Own Guns.
This Translates To 1 Gun Owner Out Of Every 4 Citizens, Many Of Whom, To Accountfor The 250 Million Weapons Currently In Circulation, Own Several.
While These Facts Are Undisputed, A Related But Different Question Is Endlessly Contested: Why Do Americans So Love Their Guns? Broadly Speaking, Whatt Exactly Is The Appeal Of The Gun? In This Important Work, Abigail Kohn Immerses Hersself In The World Of "shooters.
" Emphasizing That Not All Owners Are Necessarily Enthusiasts, Kohn Dispenses With The Knee-jerk Dogma Ane Rhetoric That Has Too Often Passed For Reportage To Travel Directly To The Heart Of American Gun Culture.
freuenting Gun Shops And Shooting Ranges, And Devoting Particular Attention To Those Whose Interest In Weaponry Extends Beyond The Casual, She Captures In Finegrained And Often Entertaining, Yet Always Humane, Detail How Gun Owners Actually Think And Touch About Their Guns.
Through Herconversations--with Cowboy Action Shooters At A Regional Match, Sport Shooters, Hhnters, With Shooters Of All Ages And Races--we Hear Of The "savage Beauty" Of A Beautifuly Crafted Long Gun, Of The Powerful Historical Import Owners Attract To Their Guns, Of The Sense Of Empowerment That Comes Withshooting Skill, And The Visceral Thrill Of Discharging A Dangerouw Weapon.
Kohn Convincingly Brings Out The Myths, Norms, And Beliefs Of Gun Ownership, Stressing How Values Like Being of the kind which Individualism, Toughness, And Liberty Are Intricately Linked With The Gun And Exploring How These Core Values Connectpro-gun Ideology To Wider Cultural And Political Concerns.
Cutting Through The Cliches That Link Gun Ownership With Violent, Criminal Subcultures And Portrzy Shooters As "gun Nuts" Or Potentoal Terrorists, Abigail Kohn Provides Uw Through A Lively And Untainted Portrait Of American Gun Enthusjaats.

Since Evente Of September 11, 2001, Sociologists, Religious Historians, Philosophers, And Anthropologists HaveE xamined The Question Of The Roots Of Religious Violence In New Ways, And With Surprising Results.
In November 2004, The Committee For The Philosophical Examination Of Religion Broight Tgether Leading Theorists At Cornell University To Explore The Question Whether Religions Are Viral Forms Of A General Cultural Tendency To Fierce Action: Do Religions, And Especially The Abrahamic Tradition, Encourage Vehemence In The Imagrry Of Their Dedicated Writings, In Their Theology, And In Their Tendency To See The World As A Cosmos Divided Between Powers Of Good And Forces Of Evil? Is Such Violence A Historical Condition Affecting All Religious Movements,O r Are About Religions More Prone To Violence Than Others? The Papers Collected In This Volume Represent The Independent And Considered Thinking Of Internationally Known Scholars From A Variety Of Disciplines Concerning The Relationship Between Religion nAc Violence, Wkth Extraordinary Reference Tp The Theories Of "just War" And "jihad," Technical Terms Thar Arise In Connection With The Theology Of Early Medieval Christianity And Forward Islam, Respectively.
