Nielsen Book Data The digital music revolution and the rise of piracy cultures has transformed the music world as we knew it. Covering both production and consumption perspectives, Spilker analyses the changes and regulatory issues through original case studies, looking at how digital music distribution has both changed and been changed by the cultural practices and politicking of ordinary youth, their parents, music counter cultures, artists and bands, record companies, technology developers, mass media and regulatory authorities.
Exploring the fundamental change in distribution, Spilker investigates paradoxes such as: Oxford University Press, [] Description Book — 1 online resource. Flamenquismo and Race; 3.

Recent decades have seen a surge of interest on the effects of sound the urban space and its population. These studies analyse how sound generates identities that are often fragmentary and mutually conflicting. They also explore the ways in which sound triggers campaigns against the negative effects of noise on the nerves and health of the population. Little research has been carried out about the impact of sound and music in areas of broader social and political concern such as social aid, hygiene and social control. Based on a detailed study of Madrid from the s to the s, Discordant Notes argues that sound and music have played a key role in structuring the transition to modernity by helping to negotiate social attitudes and legal responses to problems such as poverty, insalubrity, and crime.
Attempts to control the social groups that own unwanted musical practices such as organ grinding and flamenco performances in taverns raised awareness about public hygiene, alcoholism and crime, and triggered legal reform in these areas. In addition to scapegoating, marginalising and persecuting these musical practices, the authorities and the media used workhouse bands as instruments of social control to spread "aural hygiene" across the city.

In Loaded, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz peels away the myths of gun culture to expose the true historical origins of the Second Amendment, revealing the racial undercurrents connecting the earliest Anglo settlers with contemporary gun proliferation, modern-day policing, and the consolidation of influence of armed white nationalists. From the enslavement of Blacks and the conquest of Native America, to the arsenal of institutions that constitute the "gun lobby," Loaded presents a people's history of the Second Amendment, as seen through the lens of those who have been most targeted by guns: Meticulously researched and thought-provoking throughout, this is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the historical connections between racism and gun violence in the United States" -- Publisher's description.
Media, crime and racism []. Palgrave Macmillan, [] Description Book — xix, pages: Cultural Repertoires and Modern Menaces: Culture, Media and Everyday Practices: Contesting the Single Story: Nielsen Book Data Media, Crime and Racism draws together contributions from scholars at the leading edge of their field across three continents to present contemporary and longstanding debates exploring the roles played by media and the state in racialising crime and criminalising racialised minorities.
Comprised of empirically rich accounts and theoretically informed analysis, this dynamic text offers readers a critical and in-depth examination of contemporary social and criminal justice issues as they pertain to racialised minorities and the media. Together, they also offer original and nuanced analysis of how these processes can be experienced differently dependent on geography, political context and local resistance.
This volume demonstrates that processes of racialisation and criminalisation in media and the state cannot be understood without reference to how they are underscored and inflected by gender and power. Above all, the contributors to this volume demonstrate the resistance of racialised minorities in localised contexts across the globe: C74 M Unknown.

Survey says The hate crime hoax Millionare victims They're making a movie about it Famous for being infamous So what now?. Stanford University Press, [] Description Book — x, pages: Summary Contents and AbstractsIntroduction chapter abstractThe introduction offers an overview of the geographical and chronological scope of the violence before setting these events within existing scholarship on antisemitism, Habsburg and Polish history, and the history of violence in central Europe around Although these events have been largely overshadowed by more deadly examples of anti-Jewish violence before and after World War I, the riots constituted the most extensive anti-Jewish attacks in the Habsburg state in the post constitutional era.
The Galician violence challenged the image of Austria-Hungary as a Rechtsstaat, a state governed by the rule of law. The introduction includes chapter previews. What were the small towns of the region like? Who lived in them? How did Jews and Catholics interact and in what locations and contexts? In this period in Italy, France, and elsewhere, Catholic institutions propagated new and virulent forms of antisemitism. Galicia's Catholic hierarchy and clergy translated and transferred this Catholic-inflected modern antisemitism into the Galician countryside.
This took place at the very moment when mass politics arrived in Habsburg central Europe. New political parties competed for rural voters, bringing a strident, aggressive style of political action, rhetoric, and organization to the countryside. The new Catholic antisemitism played a central role in this competition as it did in two fiercely fought elections for parliamentary seats that took place in the first half of These attacks convinced the Galician governor and the Vienna cabinet to declare a state of emergency in western and central Galicia.
Representative riots and attacks are described in detail to provide the reader with a sense of how incidents related to each other. Who led the riots and why? What motivated people to join the action? The dissemination of outlandish rumors played a pivotal role in the formation of communities of anti-Jewish action during and after the violence, as did the constant efforts at mobilization by new political parties.
What were the confrontations between Jews and Christians like? Many of the rioters and Jews knew each other. How did this familiarity affect events? What defensive actions did Jewish individuals, families, small communities, and organizations take? This chapter considers the roles played by various arms of the state, from local administrators and gendarmes to the Galician governor, military commanders and troops, and the ministries in Vienna as they sought to restore order. The Galician courts, closely watched by the Ministry of Justice in Vienna, assessed personal responsibility for individual acts of violence and disturbance of the peace.
The first major attacks took place in mid-March five weeks of sustained violence began in the last week of May and ended only in late June. The first trials opened in the beginning of July-- courts issued the last judgments in January Appeals continued for several more months.
Each case was a drama that played out in local courtrooms, on the street, and in the press. What were the claims of the prosecution and the defense? How did defendants and witnesses describe the violence and their own actions? How did the media of the day portray the trials and engage in questions of guilt and responsibility? Galicia's major Polish-speaking political players assigned blame and put forward explanations for the riots that bolstered their respective appeals for political support.
In November, just before Emperor Franz Joseph's official fiftieth jubilee on December 2, newly elected Peasant Party deputies and socialists addressed the riots from the floor of the parliament building on Vienna's Ringstrasse, the symbolic center of power in the monarchy. This chapter illustrates the abyss that lay between the smooth and coherent framing narratives that emerged during and after the riots and the much murkier events, motivations, actions, and reactions of participants on the ground described in earlier chapters.
The final section considers how the riots altered patterns of Christian-Jewish interaction. Conclusion chapter abstractThe anti-Jewish riots and their aftermath did not simply arise from Galician backwardness. Swiftly spreading and constantly evolving rumors, slogans shouted by attackers, and statements made to investigators and on witness stands revealed a rural world rife with ignorance, drunkenness, and illiteracy, as well as medieval Catholic superstitions about Host desecration, ritual murder, well-poisoning, and the like.
Yet, the specific form antisemitic violence took in Galicia in the dynamics of its spread and duration-reflected a lively and expanding partisan press, new Catholic social movements, government intervention, and the arrival of modern political mobilization in the Galician countryside. Polish peasant politicians would bring their interpretations of the violence into the newborn Poland after Nielsen Book Data In the spring of , thousands of peasants and townspeople in western Galicia rioted against their Jewish neighbors.
Attacks took place in more than communities in this northeastern province of the Habsburg Monarchy, in present-day Poland and Ukraine. Jewish-owned homes and businesses were ransacked and looted, and Jews were assaulted, threatened, and humiliated, though not killed. Emperor Franz Joseph signed off on a state of emergency in thirty-three counties and declared martial law in two. Over five thousand individuals-peasants, day-laborers, city council members, teachers, shopkeepers-were charged with myriad offenses.
Seeking to make sense of this violence and its aftermath, The Plunder examines the circulation of antisemitic ideas within Galicia against the political backdrop of the Habsburg state. Daniel Unowsky sees the anti-Jewish riots as evidence not of Galician backwardness and barbarity, but of a late nineteenth-century Europe reeling from economic, cultural, and political transformations wrought by mass politics, literacy, industrialization, capitalist agriculture, and government expansion. Through its nuanced analysis of the riots as a form of "exclusionary violence, " this book offers new insights into the upsurge of the antisemitism that accompanied the emergence of mass politics in Europe at the turn of the twentieth century.
G U56 Unknown. Summary What is post-truth? Science denial as a road map for understanding post-truth The roots of cognitive bias The decline of traditional media The rise of social media and the problem of fake news Did postmodernism lead to post-truth? How we arrived in a post-truth era, when "alternative facts" replace actual facts, and feelings have more weight than evidence. Are we living in a post-truth world, where "alternative facts" replace actual facts and feelings have more weight than evidence?
How did we get here? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Lee McIntyre traces the development of the post-truth phenomenon from science denial through the rise of "fake news, " from our psychological blind spots to the public's retreat into "information silos. Is it wishful thinking, political spin, mass delusion, bold-faced lying? McIntyre analyzes recent examples-claims about inauguration crowd size, crime statistics, and the popular vote-and finds that post-truth is an assertion of ideological supremacy by which its practitioners try to compel someone to believe something regardless of the evidence.
Yet post-truth didn't begin with the election; the denial of scientific facts about smoking, evolution, vaccines, and climate change offers a road map for more widespread fact denial. Add to this the wired-in cognitive biases that make us feel that our conclusions are based on good reasoning even when they are not, the decline of traditional media and the rise of social media, and the emergence of fake news as a political tool, and we have the ideal conditions for post-truth. McIntyre also argues provocatively that the right wing borrowed from postmodernism-specifically, the idea that there is no such thing as objective truth-in its attacks on science and facts.
McIntyre argues that we can fight post-truth, and that the first step in fighting post-truth is to understand it. The printed and the built: Bloomsbury Visual Arts, Stephen Bann The Past in Print. Nielsen Book Data The Printed and the Built explores the intricate relationship between architecture and printed media in the fast-changing nineteenth century. Publication history is a rapidly expanding scholarly field which has profoundly influenced architectural history in recent years.
Yet, while groundbreaking work has been done on architecture and printing in the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the twentieth century, the nineteenth century has received little attention. This is the omission that The Printed and the Built seeks to address, thus filling a significant gap in the understanding of architecture's cultural history. Lavishly illustrated with colourful and eclectic visual material, from panoramas to printed ephemera, adverts, penny magazines, early photography, and even crime reportage, The Printed and the Built consists of five in-depth thematic essays accompanied by 25 short pieces, each examining a particular printed form.
Altogether, they illustrate how new genres communicated architecture to a mass audience, setting the stage for the modern architectural era. M37 P75 Unavailable In process Request. Fayard, [] Description Book — pages: Vive la famille Berlusconi! C Unavailable At bindery Request. Nielsen Book Data The Western world's responses to genocide have been slow, unwieldly and sometimes unfit for purpose. So argues David Patrick in this essential new contribution to the aid and intervention debate. While the UK and US have historically been committed to the ideals of human rights, freedom and equality, their actual material reactions are more usually dictated by geopolitical 'noise', pre-conceived ideas of worth and the media attention-spans of individual elected leaders.
Utilizing a wide-ranging quantitative analysis of media reporting across the globe, Patrick argues that an over-reliance on the Holocaust as the framing device we use to try and come to terms with such horrors can lead to slow responses, misinterpretation and category errors - in both Rwanda and Bosnia, much energy was expended trying to ascertain whether these regions qualified for 'genocide' status.
The Reporting of Genocide demonstrates how such tragedies are reduced to stereotypes in the media - framed in terms of innocent victims and brutal oppressors - which can over-simplify the situation on the ground. This in turn can lead to mixed and inadequate responses from governments. Reporting on Genocide also seeks to address how responses to genocides across the globe can be improved, and will be essential reading for policy-makers and for scholars of genocide and the media.

Nielsen Book Data The Routledge Handbook of Japanese Media is a comprehensive study of the key contemporary issues and scholarly discussions around Japanese media. Covering a wide variety of forms and types from newspapers, television and fi lm, to music, manga and social media, this book examines the role of the media in shaping Japanese society from the Meiji era's intense engagement with Western culture to our current period of rapid digital innovation.
Featuring the work of an international team of scholars, the handbook is divided into five thematic sections: The historical background of the Japanese media from the Meiji Restoration to the immediate postwar era. The representation of Japanese identities, including race, gender and sexuality, in contemporary media. The role of Japanese media in everyday life.
The Japanese media in a broader global context. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this book will be of use to students and scholars of Japanese culture and society, Asian media and Japanese popular culture. J3 R68 Unknown. Sex trafficking and the media: Description Book — vii, pages: Thai and American Political and Media Landscapes. Nielsen Book Data This book explores how sex trafficking has been reported in the media.
The book is set in the context of reportage of this human rights abuse in two varying political landscapes - the United States being a developed democracy and Thailand experiencing continued political turmoil including a May coup d'etat and an accompanying crackdown on free expression by the ruling military junta. In doing so, the book shows how there are great similarities between the two countries in the way the issue is misrepresented.
Drawing on content analysis of news coverage in the United States and Thailand as well as interviews with journalists, anti-trafficking advocates, survivors of sex trafficking and consensual sex workers, this book illuminates reasons why coverage is framed in the way s that it is, how anti-trafficking advocates can act as media advocates to push coverage in new directions, and how journalistic functions are similar and different in the two countries.

Drinking coffee in Bosnia: Disrupting the legacy of mass rape in Bosnia and Herzegovina Conflict-related sexual violence and its 'silences' Revisiting mass rape in Bosnia and Herzegovina Ethnic politicisation of conflict-related sexual violence Becoming a victim in Bosnia and Herzegovina The Women's Court in Sarajevo: The condemnation of wartime sexual violence as a gross violation of human rights has received widespread support.
This book explores the silence surrounding women's experiences of wartime sexual violence within academic, legal and public discourses. Olivera Simic argues that the international criminal law and feminist legal discourse on wartime sexual violence can construct a problematic victim hierarchy that excludes and misrecognises certain women's experiences of sexual violence during and after armed conflict. The book focuses on the experiences of Bosnian Serb women, where the collapse of the former Yugoslavia led to brutal war and gross human rights violations throughout the s.
Two decades after the war, women in Bosnia and Herzegovina are still facing the legacies of the violence in the s. Through this case Simic argues that while all women survivors of rape face problems of stigma, shame and lack of political visibility, their legal and symbolic status differ according to their ethno-national identity.

Moore 22 The New Woman as Athlete: Nielsen Book Data After the War presents a panoramic view of social, political, and economic change in post-Civil War America by examining its journalism, from coverage of politics and Reconstruction to sensational reporting and images of the American people. The changes in America during this time were so dramatic that they transformed the social structure of the country and the nature of journalism.
By the s and s, new kinds of daily newspapers had developed. New Journalism eventually gave rise to Yellow Journalism, resulting in big-city newspapers that were increasingly sensationalistic, entertaining, and designed to attract everyone. The images of the nation's people as seen through journalistic eyes, from coverage of immigrants to stories about African American "Black fiends" and Native American "savages, " tell a vibrant story that will engage scholars and students of history, journalism, and media studies.
Bernie Madoff and the crisis: Causes and consequences of the crisis are briefly described, and how it overlapped in time with the exposure of Madoff's Ponzi. The author demonstrates how extensively in media coverage the case was conflated with the crisis. A main argument of the book is offered here: Madoff became a vehicle through which issues related to crisis could be explored and contested. The chapter also briefly discusses the author's mixed qualitative methodology, involving open-ended interviews and content analysis. It reviews the literature on white collar crime and how this book builds on and extends this literature.
Brief summaries of all book chapters are provided. The scam involved a single, comparatively simple crime, one that exemplified the dark side of British and American individualistic ambitions. Surrounding the crime was a family drama of epic proportions. And tens of billions of dollars were at stake: The author demonstrates that these frames provided a familiar storytelling scaffold that appealed to a wide audience and enabled Madoff's case to become a focal point for discussion of the more difficult, abstract issues related to the financial crisis.
Blaming the Regulators chapter abstractThis chapter presents the controversies about government financial regulation that emerged through the Madoff case. We learn through the interwoven narratives of reporters, editors, and diverse media content how the public viewed the role of regulation. It is argued here that the narrative of "SEC failure, " or "US regulatory failure" was by far the dominant narrative. Larger, systemic problems in the industry, as well as cultural issues on Wall Street were subjected to less scrutiny.
In this chapter, Bernie Madoff's reactions to the SEC controversy and debate about the role of regulation are also presented. He is placed in dialogue, as it were, with the voices of the public as expressed by the reporters and dominant media narratives. Narratives of the Haves, the Have Nots, and Have Lots chapter abstract Chapter 4 addresses narratives about social inequality that emerged through the Madoff case. Class resentment and schadenfraude about the losses of wealthy victims were evident in media coverage.
Inequalities in the treatment of "street" offenders versus white collar offenders were also highlighted. The chapter argues that this focused public anger displaced an underlying anger about the financial crisis, an anger that had no other identifiable targets. The author explores the public's loss of faith in the myths of meritocracy and the American Dream, the promise that hard work and innovation were the foundations of fortune. Madoff draws attention to the greed of his wealthy clients, their complicity in his scheme, their awareness, and their culpability.
Cracking Down on Wall Street through Madoff chapter abstractThe Madoff saga, culminating in the man's imprisonment, seemed to provide public catharsis and closure despite the unaddressed systemic problems. Madoff offers his own thoughts about his punishment versus the apparent immunity of HSBC and international banks for their financial crimes. He reflects on his own sense of guilt and his experiences in prison.
It argues that the anger about wealth disparities that the Madoff case brought to the forefront helped give rise to the Occupy Movement and the populist surges of the US election and Brexit. Nevertheless, the foundational capitalist ideology persists, and it continues to reward the excessive risk-taking that leads to Ponzi and other white collar crime, as Madoff testifies. The book exhorts researchers to discover the full import and impact of white collar crime on its victims, and offers suggestions for future research. Nielsen Book Data Bernie Madoff's arrest could not have come at a more darkly poetic moment.
Economic upheaval had plunged America into a horrid recession. A father turned in by his sons; a son who took his own life; another son dying and estranged from his father; a woman at the center of a storm-Madoff's story was a media magnet, voraciously consumed by a justice-seeking public. Bernie Madoff and the Crisis goes beyond purely investigative accounts to examine how and why Madoff became the epicenter of public fury and titillation.
Rooting her argument in critical sociology, Colleen P. Eren analyzes media coverage of this landmark case alongside original interviews with dozens of journalists and editors involved in the reportage, the SEC Director of Public Affairs, and Bernie Madoff himself. Turning the mirror back onto society, Eren locates Madoff within a broader reckoning about free market capitalism.
She argues that our ideological and cultural tendencies to attribute blame to individuals-be they regulators, victims, or "monsters" like Madoff-distracts us from more systemic critiques. Bernie Madoff and the Crisis offers fresh insight into the crisis, whether we have come to terms with it, and what we have yet to gain from the case of the century. M33 E74 Unknown.

This book explores the cognitive stylistic processing of prose and audiovisual fictional crime 'texts'. In doing so, Crime Fiction Migration proposes a move from a monomodal to a multimodal approach to the study of crime fiction.
Examining original crime fiction works alongside their translations, adaptations and remakings proves instrumental in understanding how various semiotic modes interact with one another. Crime fiction is consistently popular and 'on the move' - witness the spate of detective series exported out of Scandinavia, or the ever popular exporting of these shows from the USA. This multimodal and semiotically-aware analysis of global crime narratives expands the discipline and is key reading for students of linguistics, criminology, literature and film.

Nielsen Book Data How is social media changing contemporary understandings of crime and injustice, and what contribution can it make to justice-seeking? Abuse on social media often involves betrayals of trust and invasions of privacy that range from the public circulation of intimate photographs to mass campaigns of public abuse and harassment using platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, 8chan and Reddit - forms of abuse that disproportionately target women and children.
Crime, Justice and Social Media argues that online abuse is not discontinuous with established patterns of inequality but rather intersects with and amplifies them. Embedded within social media platforms are inducements to abuse and harass other users who are rarely provided with the tools to protect themselves or interrupt the abuse of others.
There is a relationship between the values that shape the technological design and administration of social media, and those that inform the use of abuse and harassment to exclude and marginalise diverse participants in public life. Drawing on original qualitative research, this book is essential reading for students and scholars in the fields of cyber-crime, media and crime, cultural criminology, and gender and crime.

The end of cool Japan: Description Book — xiv, pages: The Rise and Fall of the King of Lolicon: Nielsen Book Data Today's convergent media environment offers unprecedented opportunities for sourcing and disseminating previously obscure popular culture material from Japan.
However, this presents concerns regarding copyright, ratings and exposure to potentially illegal content which are serious problems for those teaching and researching about Japan. Despite young people's enthusiasm for Japanese popular culture, these concerns spark debate about whether it can be judged harmful for youth audiences and could therefore herald the end of 'cool Japan'.
This collection brings together Japan specialists in order to identify key challenges in using Japanese popular culture materials in research and teaching. It addresses issues such as the availability of unofficially translated and distributed Japanese material; the emphasis on adult-themes, violence, sexual scenes and under-age characters; and the discrepancies in legislation and ratings systems across the world.
Considering how these issues affect researchers, teachers, students and fans in the US, Canada, Australia, China, Japan and elsewhere in Asia, the contributors discuss the different ways in which academic and fan practices are challenged by local regulations. Illustrating from personal experience the sometimes fraught nature of teaching about 'cool Japan', they suggest ways in which Japanese Studies as a discipline needs to develop clearer guidelines for teaching and research, especially for new scholars entering the field.
As the first collection to identify some of the real problems faced by teachers and researchers of Japanese popular culture as well as the students over whom they have a duty of care, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese Studies and Cultural Studies. Ethnicity and criminal justice in the era of mass incarceration: Baker Latinos in the United States: Feagin Criminalizing Mexican identity: Considering the shifting trends in demographics and the current state of the criminal justice system, along with the current political climate, this book is timely and of critical significance for the academic, political, and social arena.
The authors report sound evidence that testifies to a historical legacy of violence, brutality, manipulation, oppression, marginalization, prejudice, discrimination, power, and control, and to white America's continued fear about ethnic and racial minorities, a movement that continues in the twenty-first century as we have been witnessing during the presidential race, highly charged with anti-immigrant and anti-Mexican political rhetoric.
A central objective of this book is to demystify and expose the ways in which ideas of ethnicity, race, gender, and class uphold the functioning and legitimacy of the criminal justice system. In this mission, rather than attempting to develop a single explanation for the Latino experience in policing, the courts, and the penal system, this book presents a variety of studies and perspectives that illustrate alternative ways of interpreting crime, punishment, safety, equality, and justice. The findings reveal that race, ethnicity, gender, class, and several other variables continue to play a significant role in the legal decision-making process.
May, Elaine Tyler, author. The bunker mentality Gimme shelter: Back to the future: Americans own more guns than citizens of any other country, sequester themselves in barricaded houses and gated communities, and retreat from public spaces. And yet, since the s crime rates have plummeted. Why then, are Americans so afraid? In Fortress America, award-winning historian Elaine Tyler May demonstrates how our obsession with security has made citizens fear each other and distrust the government, eroding American democracy.
Cold War anxieties resulted in widespread nuclear panic. Officials encouraged Americans to build bunkers in their backyards and shun anyone they suspected of communist sympathies. In the s and s, Atomic Age anxieties gave way to misplaced fear of crime, leading to a preoccupation with "law and order. The threat of terrorism is only the most recent in a series of overblown fears that set Americans against each other. With fear on the rise, the concept of citizenship has deteriorated and concern for the common good has all but disappeared. In this remarkable work of history May charts the rise of a muscular national culture grounded in fear.
Instead of a thriving democracy of engaged citizens, we have become a paranoid, bunkered, militarized, and divided vigilante nation. God among the children []. Summary The Morning Star Baptist Church in Boston was filled with hundreds of mourners, gathered to pay their last respects to a local parishioner. Suddenly, without warning, violence erupted. Thirteen young men in black hoods strode into the church, picked out someone in one of the pews -- and as he tried to escape from the back of the church -- stabbed him nine times on different parts of his body.
For the African-American clergy serving Boston's inner city community, and for the charismatic Rev. Eugene Rivers in particular, it was the final straw -- the moment they decided they had to do something about the escalating crisis of violence in the city. The result was the formation of the Boston Ten Point Coalition, an ecumenical group working to mobilize the community around issues affecting African-American and Latino youth -- and especially those at risk from violence, drug abuse and other destructive behavior.

Summary "Harrowing personal narratives describing how Mexican authorities killed, injured, and disappeared scores of students and others in a still-unsolved crime"-- Provided by publisher.
In a coordinated cover-up of the government's role in the massacre and forced disappearance, Mexican authorities tampered with evidence, tortured detainees, and thwarted international investigations. Within days of the atrocities, John Gibler traveled to the region and began reporting from the scene. Here he weaves the stories of survivors, eyewitnesses, and the parents of the disappeared into a tour de force of journalism, a heartbreaking account of events that reads with the momentum of a novel. A vital counter-narrative to state violence and impunity, the stories also offer a testament of hope from people who continue to demand accountability and justice"-- Provided by publisher.

A Country without Law. Crime on the Agenda. Beyond the Police Reform Nielsen Book Data This book analyses the punitive crime discourse in the Argentinean press during the s. Fernandez Roich focusses on several features of media discourse during this time, such as: In addition, the book also investigates the alleged natural propensity towards breaking the law ingrained within Argentinean culture, the so-called 'viveza criolla' and the well-ingrained idea that to get ahead you have to participate in corrupt practices.
Despite the significant scholarly interest in the United States and Europe in the last Argentinean dictatorship , little attention has been paid to the role of Argentinean newspapers in supporting the military coup d'etat. The analysis of this media discourse is critical to understanding the support enjoyed by the armed forces in power: This project provides an in-depth qualitative content analysis of front pages, chronicles, editorials and photographs of Argentinean newspapers before and after the military intervention that will aid scholars of criminal justice and Latin American political regimes understand the impact of the support given to the military government.
C74 F Unknown. Wallflower, [] Description Book — vii, pages: After the Crime is Over1. Prison Films of Pre-Code Hollywood: Women's Prison Films of the s and Early s3. Nielsen Book Data Prison Movies: Cinema Behind Bars traces the public fascination with incarceration from the silent era to the present. Often considered an offshoot of the gangster film, the prison film precedes the gangster film and is in many ways its opposite.
Rather than focusing on tragic figures heading for a fall, the prison film focuses on fallen characters seeking redemption. The gangster's perverse pursuit of the American dream is irrelevant to the prisoner for whom that dream has already failed.
At their core, prison films are about self-preservation at the hands of oppressive authority. Like history itself, prison films display long stretches of idleness punctuated by eruptions of violence, dangerous moments that signify liberation and the potential for change. The enclosed world of the prison is a highly effective microcosm, one that forces characters and audiences alike to confront vexing issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality. These portrayals of men and women behind bars have thrived because they deal with such fundamental human themes as freedom, individuality, power, justice, and mercy.

When riot cops are not enough: New Brunswick, New Jersey: Rutgers University Press, [] Description Book — ix, pages: King's active and daily participation in that movement, from its inception through its demise, provides a unique insider perspective to illustrate how the Oakland police and city administrators lost the ability to effectively control the movement.
Drawn from King's intensive field work, the book focuses on the physical, legal, political, and ideological dimensions of repression-in the streets, in courtrooms, in the media, in city hall, and within the movement itself-When Riot Cops Are Not Enough highlights the central role of political legitimacy, both for mass movements seeking to create social change, as well as for governmental forces seeking to control such movements. Although Occupy Oakland was different from other Occupy sites in many respects, King shows how the contradictions it illuminated within both social movement and police strategies provide deep insights into the nature of protest policing generally, and a clear map to understanding the full range of social control techniques used in North America in the twenty-first century.
While the city sleeps: Mientras la ciudad duerme. English Caimari, Lila M. University of California Press, [] Description Book — xi, pages: Yet colonial urbanists and architects adjusted urban plans and architectural form in ac- cordance largely with the political and ideological principles that governed each colony. In Ethiopia, urban planning set out to assist the construction of a racially segregated society, while in Albania, urban planning was seen as a tool of modernization and an ideological tool of Fascist empire.
Yet it is important not to reductively treat the works of Italian urban planners as mere instruments of Italian imperial politics. Just as the practice of urban planning itself was deeply enmeshed within the colonial enterprise, Italian urban planners and architects saw in colonial empire the opportunity to demonstrate the social utility and transformative capabilities of their trade. Italian urban planners and architects also saw in colonial empire the opportu- nity to compete with other European planners and showcase the achieve- ments of Fascist modernity and architecture Fuller As Wright shows, colonial urban layouts and architecture are a consequence of the impe- rialism of the planning profession just as much as of the political imperialism of states.
It would only be possible now under a despotism—some day perhaps democracies will follow. It must not be In- dian, nor English, nor Roman, but it must be Imperial. In years there must be an Imperial Lutyens tradition in Indian architecture. And yet, it is only by situating architectural and urban planning within the diver- gent structures and ideological goals of diferent types of colonial states and their geohistorical sites that we understand how the speciic hubris of the planning profession came to it into the overall project of empire.
Ater decades of refusal, in the Italian government formally admitted that the Italian military had used ammunitions laden with poisonous gas in the Ethiopian war. On the postcolonial signiicance of the obelisk, see Pickering-Iazzi See Del Boca , on the politics of remembrance and suppression of colonialism and empire in Italy. See Doumanis for an exemplary study on the politics of memory of Fas- cist empire among its formerly colonized subjects. Like the Greek Dodecanesian islands studied by Doumanis, Albania was spared the large-scale violence that the Italian military inl icted in Africa and beneited from Italian focus on infrastruc- tural development.
On this par tic u lar point, including how medieval buildings were torn down in order to expose older Roman-era ruins that lay under or nearby, see Falasca- Zamponi On the role of Roman tropes and ruins in Fas- cist and Nazi politics, see Hell Most important of these is the pioneering work of Del Boca On the general neglect of historians to examine the history of Italian colonialism, see Tri- ulzi For a more recent statement, see Palumbo a and Labanca Fearing a diplomatic backlash, Italian policy was intentionally designed to preserve the shell of an independent state while ensuring efective Italian control internally.
However, the term is used in a loose sense without drawing out the implications of what such a designation means for the historical practice of modern colonialism more generally. See Larebo for a summary of the features and the eventual failure of the policy. In Slovenia, for instance, to which Italian troops were deployed in , the Italians did not at- tempt to establish a separate Fascist political orga nization but supported a local pro-Fascist group, the Domobranci Defenders of the Homeland.
However, the fact that Italian rule in Albania included the possibility of the acculturation of natives may make the colonial relationship no less abominable and may even make it more insidious. In any event, the other signiicant fact is that the Italian government did see Albania as a settlement colony and had tens of thousands of Italians settled there, and not only as an extraneously ruled territory such as British India or a friendly political satellite such as were East Eu ropean Axis allies Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria to Nazi Germany.
An exception to this may be German-occupied Poland see Furber It is in this sense that Fascism was not only a political ideology per se, that is, one that concerned itself only with the particular form of political and economic institutions, but an ideology that subsumed the entire moral character and being of the individual. It is in this context that Mussolini and other Fascist ideologues claimed Fascism to be a totalitarian system Ben-Ghiat ; Berezin ; Gentile Chatterjee illustrates such a relation between colonizer and colonized in British-ruled India. It was in a later phase that Indian nationalists turned toward a wholesale rejection of British rule but only ater nationalism had succeeded in creating an autonomous cultural space.
With Albania, Rome enacted a policy of dual citizenship and one of free travel, which permitted Albanians and Italians to travel and settle freely throughout both countries in reality, very few Albanians moved to Italy. In Ethiopia, in contrast, Ethiopians were denied the privileges of Italian citizenship. Nomos is not law itself but rather the set of principles out of which legal order is generated and legitimated as such. Clearly, this is a philosophically realist position that sees par tic u lar classes of action as explainable by reference to a par tic u lar or par tic u lar set of histori- cally constituted generative principle s , rather than a set of empirically indepen- dent and unrelated acts.
For example, Schmitt notes the increasing distinction made by legal scholars toward the end of the nineteenth century between Eu ropean and American inter- national law. Schmitt expresses this in a powerful statement: On the distinction between colonialism and imperialism, see Osterhammel and chapter 1 of the present volume. It is signiicant in this sense how views of Albania within the Italian metro- politan and colonial administration difered. Ciano, conversely, was con- cerned with maintaining the appearance of an independent state, while ensuring that the Italian government had a free hand in exercising control within the coun- try, including picking the leadership Fischer No dei nitive numbers on Italian settlement in Albania exist.
Fischer states that upon the collapse of the Fascist regime in , 30, Italians lived in Tirana alone. Statistics cited by Misha indicate that in the period —, over 51, Italian laborers came to Albania and 44, let , while between and the number of Italian workers luctuated anywhere between 7, and 13,, based on the reports used. Italian architects had done similar work of adapting native forms to modern architecture in Africa as well, particularly Libya, but nowhere, according to my re- search, did they place symbols of national culture so centrally within a city.
His descriptions particularly focused on the Albanian highlands, from whence Bosio apparently received his inspiration for the kulla replica. In any case, the stress on ancient ties between Rome and the Albanians found its way into other publications as well, while racial categories were much less prominent in discussions.
Studies by folklorists such as Ber- nardy and the publications of the Istituto nazionale di cultura fascista on Alba- nia contained almost no references to racial categories Ambrosini ; Morandi What was truly the i rst world war stretched for about four hundred years, and by the end of it the armies of Europe and North America had conquered, or brought under in- direct control, almost the whole population of the earth.
New ways of liv- ing, once unimaginable, are still being generated by global social forces operating on the terrain created by the old empires. It is logical that sociology, conceived a century and a half ago as the gen- eral science of society, should be concerned with empire. Indeed there are so many that this must be regarded as one of the formative issues in the making of sociology.
Here we examine the diferent trajectories of par ticu lar colonies within the one empire, or the contrasts between empires, or sometimes their convergences. In these studies, sociology wrestles with the complexities of countervailing power, the ambiguous role of colonized elites, the dilemmas of imperial managers, the character of the colonial state, and the changing structure of colonial society. All this adds up to a large, and newly vigorous, branch of sociology.
Yet the connection between sociology and empire does not end with the sociol- ogy of empire. Sociology as an organized social practice, an institutionalized formation of knowledge, was created in the imperial centers at the high tide of direct imperial expansion. Sociology drew much of its signiicant data from the knowledge dividend of empire—from the imperial archive, as Semyonov, Mogilner, and Gerasimov note in their discussion of Kovalevski in chapter 2.
As Go in chapter 2 and Kurasawa in chapter 6 demonstrate with a wealth of detail, an interest in empire and willingness to appropriate its data were as common among the i rst generation of sociologists under the presi- dents as under the czars. Indeed they were and are. For instance, Zimmerman shows the formative traces of colonization and empire in the thought of Max Weber see chapter 5.
Coming forward to recent sociolog ical thought, presumptions of global diference, the centrality of the metropole, and appropriation of the experi- ence of the colonized—that is to say, an imperialist epistemology—underlie the general theories put forward by Coleman, Giddens, and Bourdieu Connell Sociology certainly has other possibilities.
But the depth to which sociolog ical thought has been shaped by its location in empire should not be forgotten. Sociolog ical perspectives are oten missing from this wider discourse. Global political economy is a signiicant case. Sociology is needed for an adequate understanding of contemporary em- pire as much as historical sociology is needed for understanding empires of the past.
To make this observation is not a denunciation or a guilt trip. In my view, we should welcome contributions to these issues from any direction, including white middle-class men from the global North. Several of the studies in this book call attention to the ideas of groups in colonized societies. In chapter 12, Gowda describes the govern- ing elite of one of the princely states in British India, crat ing a developmen- talist ideology from a position of political weakness.
Goh describes the im- portance of Filipino resistance and collaboration for the shit ing strategies of U. Beyond these cases is a broad arena of thought about colonialism and contemporary empire that comes from anticolonial struggles, postcolonial critique, peace movements, global feminism, environmental struggles, and more. It is perhaps in the tensions and synergies between diferently situated for- mations of knowledge that we i nd the best possibilities for new understand- ings of empire. It is called he hree Principles of the People San Min Chu I and is a transcription of lectures delivered in by Sun Yat-sen—replacing a book whose drat manuscript was destroyed in the civil wars that followed the overthrow of the Qing dy- nasty.
Sun was not an academic social scientist; he was a medical doctor who became a political activist and briely president of the i rst Republic of China. In the s, his party, the Kuomintang, was reorganizing and needed a statement of principles. Sun, nearing the end of his life, produced a complex text, part theory and speculation, part commentary on current af- fairs, part programmatic and organ izational. Sun discusses population movements, economic domination, interventionist states, rival empires, war, and the disintegrating efect of outside imperial- ism on culture and politics in China.
Sun is anti-imperialist to the boot heels. But he is also critical of simple- minded anti-Westernism, as seen in the Boxer movement. Sun is respectful of European culture ofering, for instance, a perceptive critique of Rous- seau. But he ofers an extraordinarily interesting account of social dynamics in the periphery of the European empires, which is worth fresh attention. My second example, from the following decade, is a very diferent kind of text. It cov- ered economic organization, kinship, religion, law, and so on, in an elabo- rate and sophisticated presentation of a non-European way of life.
What made it unique in its day, and still unusual, is that it was a full-scale ethnography written by one of the subjects of the ethnography. Kenyatta was at the time a leading igure in Gikuyu politics. He became the leader of an independence movement and head of the postcolonial government, but in that was still in the future.
He picks up social-scientiic functionalism and says, in efect, here among the colonized we have a fully functioning and well- integrated social system: But the Europeans—who, Kenyatta observes, cannot even keep the peace in Europe—have set about wrecking this social order for their own purposes, and their guns and railways give them the power to do so. Facing Mount Kenya is, among other things, a remarkable literary achievement, a beautiful lament for the social worlds destroyed by global empire.
Here Kenyatta was opening up a major issue about imperialism, which sociolog ical theory almost entirely misses. As Clarno shows in chapter 16, this process continues to characterize settler colonial- ism in contemporary Israel. A somewhat diferent process, the seizing of land without settlement, transforming colonized populations into plantation workforces, is the main economic basis of exploitation colonialism, from the sugar islands of the West Indies to the rubber plantations of Malaya.
As Pula shows in chapter 13, the application of colonial power to urban land is also a feature of empire. As a good ethnographer, Kenyatta also talks about gender relations. He describes kinship, marriage and sexuality, and gender as a factor in politics and economics.
Some of this is tough stuf: Ken- yatta defends female genital mutilation on the grounds that it makes girls marriageable, declaring the indigenous, not the missionaries, as the authori- ties on its meaning—a position some big men in postcolonial times also have adopted on gender issues. Here Kenyatta opened up another important and troubling terrain for the sociology of empire. But empire is gendered. Gendered workforces were forcibly created in plantation economies and continue to be created today in maquiladoras and export processing zones. Is this hard to see?
As Ashis Nandy brilliantly showed in he Intimate Enemy , empire also afects gender among the colonizers—reshaping images and practices of masculinity. In fact, the whole subject of race relations in empire is inextricably bound up with gender and sexuality. NEW EMPIRE A great deal of efort has gone into understanding the structures of global power that crystallized ater the independence struggles and decolonization of South and Southeast Asia, northern and southern Africa, and the Paciic island colonies.
Still it was a ruthless empire, based on extremely brutal suppression of the independence movements of One of the concerns of this book is whether a new form of empire is cur- rently being constructed. In the context of global neoliberalism, Clarno argues, the Palestinians are becoming one more surplus population, unemployed and unemployable, rather than the labor force the regime needs.
As close-focus studies of Palestinian commu- nities show, the violent disruption of ties to the land, and the social order built on village agriculture, is a key to this situation Hanai In chapter 8, Scheppele identiies one such mechanism: If Scheppele is right about law and Clarno is right about the situation of the Palestinians, the combination points to a dynamic in the growth of the international security state, legitimating arbitrary power in relation to pop- ulations whom the international economy treats as rubbish people—and who are made landless whether by occupation, war, or economic pressure.
But we can do a lot to understand what is happening, and that under- standing can be an asset for democracy. Taking Trade to the Streets: University of Michigan Press. Abbott, Andrew, and James T.
