Teaching in an Age of Ideology

This volume explores the role of some of the most prominent twentieth-century philosophers and political thinkers as teachers. It will examine what obstacles they confronted as teachers and how they overcome them in conveying truth to their students in an age dominated by ideological thinking.
Warning Signs of Genocide: An Anthropological Perspective

Genocide has been a major killer over the last century and more. Warning Signs of Genocide: An Anthropological Perspective reveals warning signs of genocide, finding that it normally occurs when a political regime takes power by exploiting group hatreds, and later feels itself threatened and insecure. The regime then unleashes genocide against vulnerable groups. Knowing the warning signs should make the international community take note that genocide is virtually certain to occur, and take action to stop it.
Writing the Nomadic Experience in Contemporary Francophone Literature

This book examines the constantly changing global climate that includes vast numbers of individuals in transit including, but not limited to immigrants, expatriates, and exiles. The contemporary writer has a vital role to play in mapping out the identities and trajectories of nomadic individuals in today’s globalizing world. The writers of this study are current, prolific writers whose writing showcases the relevancy of French language literature in global discussions about identity, place, and belonging.
The Marx Machine: Politics, Polemics, Ideology

This book employs recently developed techniques of literary criticism, philosophical argumentation, and bibliographical or manuscript analysis to bring Marx’s early works, and especially his early polemics, into conversation with his most contemporary, post-Marxist critics. It argues that some of Marx’s best known concepts—ideology and historical materialism, for example—in fact represent responses to the kinds of arguments that many people mount against them today.
Pragmatism, Politics, and Perversity: Democracy and the American Party Battle

A philosophical yet detailed history of the American party battle explaining why partisan debate is so perverse and how it could be made less so. Building upon the heritage of American pragmatism, from Peirce to Rorty and the new pragmatists, as well as the work of historian Charles Beard, the book identifies that battle as a struggle between nation state and market state, with special emphasis on the perversity of Civil War politics.
Reflections on Conservative Politics in the United Kingdom and the United States: Still Soul Mates?

This collective work compares US and UK conservative thought in the areas of the meaning of rights, foreign policy mission, the role of religious activism within their respective party politics, and the impact of the current economic crisis on conservative economic orthodoxy. Intended both for political scientists and the general public, it is hoped this work will add to the understanding of what constitutes conservatism, and help reveal the common strands of thought which unite them.
Roth and Celebrity

Roth and Celebrity is composed of 10 original essays that consider the vexed and ambivalent relationship between Philip Roth and his own celebrity as revealed both in personal interviews as well as in the fiction that spans his publishing history.
Repairing the Athlete's Image: Studies in Sports Image Restoration

Repairing the Athlete’s Image: Studies in Sports Image Restoration, edited by Joseph R. Blaney, Lance Lippert, and J. Scott Smith, present case studies of various athletes, sports, and public relations scenarios with prescriptive advice for those attempting to repair athletic reputations. This invaluable study is an essential resource for graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses in sports communication and popular culture.
Escaping Bondage: A Documentary History of Runaway Slaves in Eighteenth-Century New England, 1700–1789

Escaping Bondage: A Documentary History of Runaway Slaves in Eighteenth-Century New England, 1700–1789 is an edited collection of runaway slave advertisements that appeared in newspapers in eighteenth-century Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. This compilation provides valuable insights into an important chapter in the history of slavery.
Growth against Democracy: Savage Developmentalism in the Modern World

Growth against Democracy: Savage Developmentalism in the Modern World, by H.L.T. Quan, is a radical critique of development as a modern project. Using three historical cases (Brazil-Japan, China-Africa, and US-Iraq), Quan probes the discursive practices of modern development, exploring the coercive and juridical dimensions of trade, diplomacy and war and their impact. This study builds on the critical works of neoliberalism, capitalist development, and empire to lay the groundwork for an honest assessment of neoliberal economics and foreign conducts and their impact on human life.
Gender, Whiteness, and Power in Rodeo: Breaking Away from the Ties of Sexism and Racism

The cowboy and cowgirl played in the imagination and made rodeo into a symbolic representation of the Western United States, but the rodeo has diverse history that largely remains unaccounted for. In Gender, Whiteness and Power in Rodeo Tracey Owens Patton and Sally M. Schedlock visually explore how race, gender, and other issues of identity complicate the mythic historical narrative of the West. Using iconic visual images, along with the voices of the marginalized, Patton and Schedlock enter into the sometimes acrimonious debate of cowgirls and ethnic minorities in rodeo.
