Israel in History - The Jewish State in Comparative Perspective (Hardcover): Derek Penslar Israel in History - The Jewish State in Comparative Perspective (Hardcover)
Derek Penslar
R4,506 Discovery Miles 45 060 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The comparative dimension is, all too often, missing from writing on Israeli history. Zionist ideology restricts comparisons between Zionism and other forms of nationalism. Also, Zionist claims to have initiated a radical rupture with the Jewish past mask continuities between Israel and the experiences of modern diaspora Jewry. Over the past two decades, Israeli historiography has become more critical, and a number of books have presented Israel as a variant of settler-colonialist societies such as the United States and South Africa. The framework of continuity across space commands attention, but it lacks nuance and is often built upon politicized foundations. Moreover, this framework neglects areas of continuity across time, between Israel and the Jewish past.
"Israel in History: The Jewish State in" "Comparative Perspective" seeks to address these issues. The essays in this book combine a variety of comparative schemes, both internal to Jewish civilization and extending throughout the world. These frameworks include:
- modern Jewish society, politics and culture
- historical consciousness in the 20th-century western world, and the matrix of Western colonialism,
- Third World anti-colonialism and post-colonial state-building.
The book's underlying theme is the need to study Israeli history within multiple and overlapping comparative frameworks. The benefit of comparison is not limited to a richer understanding of the circumstances under which Israel was born and has developed. Rather, an open-ended, comparative approach offers a useful means of correcting the biases found in so much scholarship on Israel, be it sympathetic or hostile. "Israel in History: The JewishState in Comparative Perspective" will appeal to scholars and students with research interests in Middle East studies and Israeli history.

Poverty Orientated Agricultural and Rural Development (Hardcover): Hartmut Brandt, Uwe Otzen Poverty Orientated Agricultural and Rural Development (Hardcover)
Hartmut Brandt, Uwe Otzen
R4,222 Discovery Miles 42 220 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Over the last twenty years the proportion of development cooperation resources earmarked for agricultural development has dwindled to between six and seven per cent of total bi- and multilateral Official Development Assistance. This is despite the fact that eighty per cent of the world's poor live in rural agricultural areas and that the poor are disproportionately affected when political, military and natural events lead to regional or global food shortages. Brandt and Otzen's key book fills a gap in current literature, undertaking a wide-ranging conceptual reorientation of development cooperation, criticizing the current orthodoxy and its bias towards urban areas, and arguing that in order to effectively alleviate poverty across the world, agricultural and rural development measures need to be implemented both by central and subnational governments, aid agencies and the private sector. The authors investigate the world food question, the current pressures it is under and its link to rural poverty, and set out the policies that need to be undertaken to reduce global poverty.

Cyberculture Theorists - Manuel Castells and Donna Haraway (Paperback, New Ed): David Bell Cyberculture Theorists - Manuel Castells and Donna Haraway (Paperback, New Ed)
David Bell; Series edited by Robert Eaglestone
R773 Discovery Miles 7 730 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book surveys a 'cluster' of works that seek to explore the cultures of cyberspace, the Internet and the information society.

Derek Penslar
R1,813 Discovery Miles 18 130 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Covering topical issues concerning the nature of the Israeli state, this engaging work presents essays that combine a variety of comparative schemes, both internal to Jewish civilization and extending throughout the world, such as:

  • modern Jewish society, politics and culture
  • historical consciousness in the twentieth century
  • colonialism, anti-colonialism and postcolonial state-building.

With its open-ended, comparative approach, Israel in History provides a useful means of correcting the biases found in so much scholarship on Israel, be it sympathetic or hostile. This book will appeal to scholars and students with research interests in many fields, including Israeli Studies, Middle East Studies, and Jewish Studies.

Law Reform in Developing and Transitional States (Hardcover, New): Tim Lindsey Law Reform in Developing and Transitional States (Hardcover, New)
Tim Lindsey
R4,668 Discovery Miles 46 680 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Law reform in developing countries has become an increasingly topical subject in recent years. A critical issue is why so many law reform projects in developing economies are regarded by their sponsors and recipients as unsuccessful. This informative book:

  • examines examples of law reform projects in post-socialist and post-authoritarian states in Asia
  • identifies common problems
  • proposes analytical frameworks for understanding the problems identified.

Though parallels between Asian models and those in developing states elsewhere in the world are strong, the book has been developed to avoid suggestion that the issues covered are somehow peculiarly a ~Asiana (TM)- indeed, it is shown that cultural relativist approaches to Asia are unsustainable. This is an invaluable reference for those involved in the areas of development economics, Asian studies and comparative politics.

Medieval Andalusian Courtly Culture in the Mediterranean - Hadith Bayad wa Riyad (Hardcover): Cynthia Robinson Medieval Andalusian Courtly Culture in the Mediterranean - Hadith Bayad wa Riyad (Hardcover)
Cynthia Robinson
R4,640 Discovery Miles 46 400 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Medieval Andalusian Courtly Culture discusses the unicum manuscript of the Hadith Bayad wa Riyad, the only illustrated manuscript known to have survived for more than eight centuries of Muslim and Arabic-speaking presence in present-day Spain. The manuscript is of paramount importance as it contains the only known surviving version, both in terms of text and of image, of the love story of Bayad wa Riyad. This study will place this manuscript within the context of late medieval Mediterranean courtly culture, offering: an annotated translation into English of the entire text reproductions of its images an analysis of both text and images in a series of progressively broader contexts including that of al-Andalus(Arabic-speaking); of "reconquista" Iberia; and the larger Mediterranean world. Cynthia Robinson broadens understanding of the Mediterranean region during the Middle Ages, making this text an invaluable resource for scholars with interests in Medieval Spain, art and Mediterranean courtly culture.

Popular Movements and Democratization in the Islamic World (Hardcover, New): Masatoshi Kisaichi Popular Movements and Democratization in the Islamic World (Hardcover, New)
Masatoshi Kisaichi
R4,777 Discovery Miles 47 770 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Ever since the terrorist incident of September 11 a general understanding seems to have arisen among people that the challenges posed by Islam have now acquired human and global dimensions. What is particularly worthy of note in this debate is the tendency to view all such confrontations from a dualistic standpoint, as tussles between the Western (democratic) world and the world of Islam. "Popular Movements and Democratization in the Islamic World" contains case studies of people's movements in diverse areas and periods, and it seeks to develop a comparative view of Islam and democracy. It also presents an alternate picture of the world's Muslim societies, one transcending the simple dichotomy of 'Islam and democracy.' Unraveling the complexities that have arisen between Islam and democracy is the principal task of Islamic scholars, and this book will undoubtedly prove a starting point for all such endeavors. While primarily intended for students and scholars "Popular Movements and Democratization in the Islamic World" will prove of interest even to general readers with interests in Islamic studies.

Security and Sustainable Development in Myanmar (Hardcover, annotated edition): Helen James Security and Sustainable Development in Myanmar (Hardcover, annotated edition)
Helen James
R4,783 Discovery Miles 47 830 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Helen James considers security in Myanmar/Burma. She uses the ideas put forward in the United Nations Development Programme's 1994 report, of human, as opposed to state and security, going on to argue that freedom from want, and freedom from fear (of the regime) are in fact mutually supportive ideas, and that the security of the people and the security of the state are in fact in a symbiotic relationship with each other.

Presenting new and significant information of the security concept of Myanmar/Burma, Jamesa (TM) original work considers economic development, health, education, environmental issues, the drugs trade, human rights, minority peoples and political, social and economic reforms, arguing that improved governance, the development of civil society and economic development would both strengthen the state and ensure the security and well-being of its citizens.

Bulent Gokay
R4,777 Discovery Miles 47 770 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This is an impressive work that traces the relationship between the Soviet Union and Turkey on the one hand, and the Soviet Union and the Turkish Communist Party on the other, from the consolidation of the communist regime in Moscow until its fall. The book considers how 'Soviet Eastern Policy' was formed, how it changed over time, what the Soviet leaders hoped to gain in Turkey, and what impact Soviet policy had on the development of the Turkish communist movement. It is a valuable resource for students and scholars with an interest in Russian and Soviet poltics and international relations.

Psychotherapy and Religion in Japan - The Japanese Introspection Practice of Naikan (Hardcover): Chikako Ozawa-de Silva Psychotherapy and Religion in Japan - The Japanese Introspection Practice of Naikan (Hardcover)
Chikako Ozawa-de Silva
R4,779 Discovery Miles 47 790 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Can merely changing one's perspective on one's past lead to the alleviation of mental and physical suffering? Are our personal pasts an inviolable terrain, or are they capable of reinterpretation and revision? This book explores the Japanese practice of Naikan, a psychotherapeutic method which combines meditation-like body engagement with the recovery of memory and the reconstruction of one's autobiography in order to bring about healing and a changed notion of the self. Although it arose out of a Shin Buddhist self-cultivation practice, Naikan has achieved success in Japan, in both hospitals and dedicated centers, as a therapy for addiction and physical and mental illnesses, and has spread abroad to both Europe and the USA. The Naikan method operates along the borders of religion and therapy, inviting an investigation into the distinctiveness and interpenetration of these two domains. Drawing upon the author's personal experiences of participation in Naikan, this book situates an ethnography of Naikan, its setting, practices, and the roles played by practitioners and clients, within the context of both Japanese society and the Buddhist tradition. It is an important resource for those interested in the roles of memory, autobiography and narrative in health and recovery, the dialogue between western psychotherapies and Buddhist thought, and the practice of Naikan and its place in Japanese culture and society.

Martyn Hammersley
R4,638 Discovery Miles 46 380 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In recent years, the importance of disseminating the findings of social research has been given increased emphasis. The most effective way in which this can be done is via the mass media. However, there are frequent complaints that media coverage of social and educational research is very limited and often distorted. Through a detailed analysis of a particular case about ethnic inequalities in educational achievement, this book examines some of the processes involved in the reporting of research findings, and their implications for judgements about media distortion and bias. This volume is relevant to many fields, including education, media studies, cultural studies, sociology and social policy.

Age Matters - Re-Aligning Feminist Thinking (Hardcover): Toni M. Calasanti, Kathleen F. Slevin Age Matters - Re-Aligning Feminist Thinking (Hardcover)
Toni M. Calasanti, Kathleen F. Slevin
R4,925 Discovery Miles 49 250 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This volume of original chapters is designed to bring attention to a neglected area of feminist scholarship - aging. After several decades of feminist studies we are now well informed of the complex ways that gender shapes the lives of women and men. Similarly, we know more about how gendered power relations interface with race and ethnicity, class and sexual orientation. Serious theorizing of old age and age relations to gender represents the next frontier of feminist scholarship. In this volume, leading national and international feminist scholars of aging take first steps in this direction, illuminating how age relations interact with other social inequalities, particularly gender. In doing so, the authors challenge and transform feminist scholarship and many taken for granted concepts in gender studies.

Bodies in Code - Interfaces with Digital Media (Paperback): Mark B.N. Hansen Bodies in Code - Interfaces with Digital Media (Paperback)
Mark B.N. Hansen
R1,283 Discovery Miles 12 830 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"Bodies in Code "explores how our bodies experience and adapt to digital environments. Cyberculture theorists have tended to overlook biological reality when talking about virtual reality, and Mark B. N. Hansen's book shows what they've been missing. Cyberspace is anchored in the body, he argues, and it's the body--not high-tech computer graphics--that allows a person to feel like they are really "moving" through virtual reality. Of course these virtual experiences are also profoundly affecting our very understanding of what it means to live as embodied beings.
Hansen draws upon recent work in visual culture, cognitive science, and new media studies, as well as examples of computer graphics, websites, and new media art, to show how our bodies are in some ways already becoming virtual.

Media and the Chinese Diaspora - Community, Communications and Commerce (Hardcover, 5th): Wanning Sun Media and the Chinese Diaspora - Community, Communications and Commerce (Hardcover, 5th)
Wanning Sun
R4,640 Discovery Miles 46 400 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The importance of the Chinese diaspora is widely recognized. Wanning Sun examines the key role of the media in the Chinese diaspora. She focuses especially on the media's role in communication, in fostering a sense of community, in defining different kinds of 'transnational Chineseness' - overseas Chinese communities are often very different from one country to another - and in showing how media communication is linked to commerce, which is often a key activity of the overseas Chinese.

Revealing a great deal about the vibrancy and dynamism of the Chinese-language media, the book considers the Chinese diaspora in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Australia, showing how it plays a crucial role in the changing nature of the Chinese diaspora.

Markus Daechsel
R4,644 Discovery Miles 46 440 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Middleclass political culture in interwar North India was haunted by fascistic resonance. Activists from various political camps believed in forms of Social-Darwinism, worshipped violence and war and focused their political action on public spectacles and paramilitary organization. This book argues that these features were part of a larger political culture - the politics of self-expression - that had lost sight of society as the normal space in which politics was to be conducted. Instead, there was an emphasis on the inner worlds of individuals who increasingly came to understand politics as an avenue to personal salvation. It proposes that this re-orientation of politics was the result of social transformations brought about by the coming of a consumer society. The politics of self-expression was fixated with matters related to political choices, the branding of clothes and bodies and the use of a political language that closely resembled advertising discourse. This study traces the socio-genesis of this new form of politics through a detailed analysis of material culture in the Urdu middleclass milieu. It examines how middleclass people arrived at their political opinions in consequence of how they structured their immediate spatial surroundings, and how they strove to define the experiences of their own bodies in a particularly middleclass way. The scope and arguments of this book make an innovative contribution to the historiography of modern South Asia.

This is a highly topical and important study which gives a progressive outlook for Islam's role in modern politics and society.

Peggy Teo, Kalyani Mehta, Leng Leng Thang, Angelique Chan
R4,634 Discovery Miles 46 340 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The demographic reality of ageing has been well documented and researched in Europe, Japan and the United States of America. Recognition of its importance in newly industrialized economies such as Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan is only recent. Whether the scholarship originates from the developed West or the Asia-Pacific, older persons are often portrayed as social and financial burdens because pensions, health and social care have to withstand increasing old age dependency ratios. Due to a lack of access to representation and/or a lack of social and economic power, older persons have found few opportunities to have their voices heard, making age an immensely political issue. Ageing in Singapore explores how structure (the state) and agency (older people, family members or community groups) interact within a specific set of predominantly Asian values. Taking a post-colonial position in its research, with Asian writers recording Asian voices, this thought-provoking book highlights how older persons are marginalized in the Singapore situation, acknowledging the importance of place-bound contextualizations in social constructions. an invaluable resource for policy-makers, service providers and scholars working on Asian gerontology.

R1,050 R781 Discovery Miles 7 810 Save R269 (26%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Leftist thought and activism stands as a defining force in the articulation of political culture and policy in modern Japan. Operating from the periphery of formal political power for the most part, the Japanese Left has had an impact that extends far beyond their limited success at the ballot box. This book focuses attention on the influence exerted by the Left on the political landscape of Japan in the modern era, and assesses the reasons for its successes and failures in terms of its impact on enduring dimensions of Japanese political thought, activism and policy. This is the first book of its kind to engage in the deeper issues of pacifist idealism, the dynamics of opposition politics in Japan, and distinguishing features of Japanese Leftist policy such as opposition to liberalisation of agricultural trade and positive relations with North Korea. With essays from an international team of contributors, this text will provide a fresh and much-needed interpretation of the modern sweep of Japanese politics.

Randall Peerenboom, Carole J. Petersen, Albert H.Y. Chen
R6,798 Discovery Miles 67 980 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Human Rights in Asia considers how human rights are viewed and implemented in Asia. It covers not just civil and political rights, but also social, economic and cultural rights. This study discusses the problems arising from the fact that ideas of human rights have evolved in Western liberal democracies and examines how far such values are compatible with Asian values and applicable in Asian contexts. Core chapters on France and the USA provide a benchmark on how human rights have emerged and how they are applied and implemented in a civil law and a common law jurisdiction. These are then followed by twelve chapters on the major countries of East Asia plus India, each of which follows a common template to consider the context of the legal system in each country, black letter law, legal discussions and debates and key current issues concerning human rights in each jurisdiction.
