ISBN: 9781469673417 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Oconaluftee Valley, located on the North Carolina side of the Smokies, is home of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians and part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site).

Prison Capital: Mass Incarceration and Struggles for Abolition Democracy in Louisiana
ISBN: 9781469675107 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Every year between 1998 to 2020 except one, Louisiana had the highest per capita rate of incarceration in the nation and thus the world. This is the first detailed account of Louisiana's unprecedented turn to mass incarceration from 1970 to 2020.

Precarious Constructions: Race, Class, and Urban Revitalization in Toronto
ISBN: 9781469675756 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This sharply argued book posits that urban revitalization—making "better" city living spaces from those that have been neglected due to racist city planning and divestment—is a code word for fraught, state-managed gentrification. Vanessa A. Rosa examines the revitalization of two Toronto public housing projects, Regent Park and Lawrence Heights, and uses this evidence to analyze the challenges of racial inequality and segregation at the heart of housing systems in many cities worldwide. Instead of promoting safety and belonging, Rosa argues that revitalization too often creates more...

Feeding New Orleans: Celebrity Chefs and Reimagining Food Justice
ISBN: 9781469676326 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, many high-profile chefs in New Orleans pledged to help their city rebound from the flooding. Several formed their own charitable organizations, including the John Besh Foundation, to help revitalize the region and its restaurant scene. A year and a half after the disaster when the total number of open restaurants eclipsed the pre-Katrina count, it was embraced as a sign that the city itself had survived, and these chefs arguably became the de facto heroes of the city's recovery. Meanwhile, food justice organizations tried to tap into the city's legendary food...

Boardinghouse Women: How Southern Keepers, Cooks, Nurses, Widows, and Runaways Shaped Modern America
ISBN: 9781469676395 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this innovative and insightful book, Elizabeth Engelhardt argues that modern American food, business, caretaking, politics, sex, travel, writing, and restaurants all owe a debt to boardinghouse women in the South. From the eighteenth century well into the twentieth, entrepreneurial women ran boardinghouses throughout the South; some also carried the institution to far-flung places like California, New York, and London. Owned and operated by Black, Jewish, Native American, and white women, rich and poor, immigrant and native-born, these lodgings were often hubs of business innovation and...

Live Dead: The Grateful Dead, Live Recordings, and the Ideology of Liveness
ISBN: 9781478020707 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Grateful Dead were one of the most successful live acts of the rock era. Performing more than 2,300 shows between 1965 and 1995, the Grateful Dead’s reputation as a “live band” was—and continues to be—sustained by thousands of live concert recordings from every era of the group’s long and colorful career.

ISBN: 9781666914702 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. American society is often characterized as a “guilt culture,” as opposed to non-Western “shame cultures.” But is this distinction still valid today? Through examples like shaming penalties in criminal law, “fat shaming,” and cyberbullying on the social media, The Rise of the Shame Society: America’s Change from a Guilt Culture into a Shame Culture shows how shame is increasingly invading our lives, leading to feelings of humiliation and depression. Marcel Van Herpen identifies three causes of this phenomenon: new childrearing methods, the advent of the social media, and a...
