Between Islam and the American Dream: An Immigrant Muslim Community in Post-9/11 America
ISBN: 9780415711937 / Angielski / Twarda / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Based on a three-year ethnographic study of a steadily growing suburban Muslim immigrant congregation in Midwest America, this book examines the micro-processes through which a group of Muslim immigrants from diverse backgrounds negotiate multiple identities while seeking to become part of American society in the years following 9/11. The author looks into frictions, conflicts, and schisms within the community to debunk myths and provide a close-up look at the experiences of ordinary immigrant Muslims in the United States. Instead of treating Muslim immigrants as fundamentally different from...

Head Masters: Phrenology, Secular Education, and Nineteenth-Century Social Thought
ISBN: 9780817357634 / Angielski / Miękka / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Head Masters challenges the assumption that phrenology--the study of the conformation of the skull as it relates to mental faculties and character--played only a minor and somewhat anecdotal role in the development of education. Stephen Tomlinson asserts instead that phrenology was a scientifically respectable theory of human nature, perhaps the first solid physiological psychology. He shows that the first phrenologists were among the most prominent scientists and intellectuals of their day, and that the concept was eagerly embraced by leading members of the New England medical community....

See the irony in the lives of Vincent, William, Sani, and their friends in school in this story of "drug slaves" in which children from humble family backgrounds are turned aside from responsible lives by negative influences and habits of different origins.

Sites and Politics of Religious Diversity in Southern Europe: The Best of All Gods
ISBN: 9789004255234 / Angielski / Twarda / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent years, the Southern borders of Europe have become landmarks for the mediatic and academic verve regarding the migration and diasporas towards and beyond 'Schengen Europe'. In these debates, religion is acknowledged as playing a central role in the recognition of major societal changes in the continent, being object of political concern and attention: from the recognition of plural forms of Christianity to the debates on a 'European Islam'. Yet, in this respect, what goes on around the borders of Portugal, Spain, Italy or Greece is still largely uncharted and un-debated. With the...

Of major concern, in this era of transformation, is the extensive and profound interaction of humankind with nature.

Social Development in Asia
ISBN: 9789401057783 / Angielski / Miękka / 187 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most Asian countries have shown a strong commitment to rapid economic development. Economists have argued that the fruits from economic development will be spread equitably throughout the population. In the absence of a strong tradition of social rights, social development in Asia has long been taken for granted. This collection documents social development in the Asian countries of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand and India and concludes that social development has lagged behind economic development.

Consuming Football in Late Modern Life
ISBN: 9781409450948 / Angielski / Twarda / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Consuming Football in Late Modern Life explores the phenomenon of football (soccer) fandom as consumption in the age of late modernity. By centralising fandom within the sociology of consumption, the book examines how this phenomenon equates to a fluid series of consumption activities that are practiced in the course of everyday life. In turn, the work departs from much of the existing literature that features exceptional properties of fanatical fans, in order to emphasise the position that seemingly trivial acts of consumption can have a profound influence on the construction, maintenance...

Intersecting Interregionalism: Regions, Global Governance and the Eu
ISBN: 9789400775657 / Angielski / Twarda / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book has two mutually reinforcing aims/parts. The first aim is to contribute to a more productive debate between different theoretical standpoints. There is surprisingly little theoretical and conceptual debate in this burgeoning field, which is one major reason for the failure to fully grasp the diversity of today's interregionalism. Too often theorists speak past each other, without really engaging with alternative theoretical perspectives or competing research results. Indeed, this book constitutes the first systematic attempt to bring together leading theories and theorists of...

Migration and Membership Regimes in Global and Historical Perspective: An Introduction
ISBN: 9789004241831 / Angielski / Twarda / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Migration and Membership Regimes editors Ulbe Bosma, Gijs Kessler and Leo Lucassen bring together ten essays in an analytical framework which looks beyond the Transatlantic migration of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in a deliberate attempt to incorporate the experience of earlier periods and other continents into historical migration studies. The focus of analysis is on the mechanisms of interaction between polities, from city-states and emerging statehoods to empires, and migrants joining or taking over these polities, by force, choice or co-optation. It reconceptualises...

The Death of Fashion
ISBN: 9783990431184 / Angielski / Twarda / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When, for a few weeks each year, Western fashion victims become red-hot with excitement waiting for the fashion sales to take place, they are unconsciously following an ancient sacrificial ritual. Just as in ancient Greece, the God of Fertility had to be killed during the Dionysia in order to be resurrected, the season's fashion has today to be symbolically sacrificed in order for the shop windows to be filled with something new. Harald Gruendl, who with EOOS designs shopping temples for such as Armani and Adidas, here observes the death and resurrection of fashion in the shop windows of...
