More than twenty-five years have passed since the publication in
1979 of "Brothers and Sisters to Us," the U.S. Bishops' statement
against racism, and during this time white Catholic theologians
have remained relatively silent on this topic. In this hard-hitting
study, prominent Roman Catholic theologians address white
priviletge and the way it contributes to racism. They maintain that
systems of white privilege are a significant factor in maintaining
evil systems of racism in our country and that most white
theologians and ethicists remain ignorant of their negative impact.
Co-published by Routledge and Edition Synapse The History of
Feminism series makes key archival source material readily
available to scholars, researchers, and students of women's and
gender studies, women's history, and women's writing, as well as
those working in allied and related fields. Selected and introduced
by expert editors, the gathered materials are reproduced in
facsimile, giving users a strong sense of immediacy to the texts
and permitting citation to the original pagination. Building on the
success of Women and Empire (2009), this new title in the series
brings together in four volumes a unique range of
nineteenth-century texts on children and empire. Making readily
available materials which are currently very difficult for
scholars, researchers, and students across the globe to locate and
use, Children and Empire is a veritable treasure-trove. The
gathered works are reproduced in facsimile, giving users a strong
sense of immediacy to the texts and permitting citation to the
original pagination. Each volume is also supplemented by
substantial introductions, newly written by the editors, which
contextualize the material. And with a detailed appendix providing
data on the books, newspapers, and periodicals in which the
gathered materials were originally published, the collection is
destined to be welcomed as a vital reference and research resource.
Moving Meals and Migrating Mothers: Culinary cultures, diasporic
dishes and familial foodways explores the complex interplay between
the important global issues of food, families and migration. We
have an introduction and twelve additional chapters which we have
organised into three parts: Part I Moving Meals, Markets and
Migrant Mothers; Part II Migrating Mothers Performing Identity
through Moving Meals; Part III Meanings and Experiences of Migrant
Maternal Meals. Although these parts are not mutually exclusive,
they are meant to emphasize socio-cultural and economic
considerations of migration (Part I), the food itself (Part II) and
families (Part III). We have a wide geographic representation,
including Europe (Ireland and France), the USA, Canada, New
Zealand, and Korea. In addition, we have contributors from all
stages of career, including full professors, as well recent
doctoral graduates. Overall the contributions are
interdisciplinary, and therefore use a variety of methodologies,
although most make use of traditional social sciences methods,
including interviews and ethnographic observations.
Since September 2001, the United States has waged what the
government initially called the "global war on terrorism (GWOT)."
Beginning in late 2005 and early 2006, the term Long War began to
appear in U.S. security documents such as the National Security
Council's National Strategy for Victory in Iraq and in statements
by the U.S. Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the JCS. The
description Long War--unlimited in time and space and continuing
for decades--is closer to reality and more useful than GWOT.
Colonel Robert Cassidy argues that this protracted struggle is more
correctly viewed as a global insurgency and counterinsurgency. Al
Qaeda and its affiliates, he maintains, comprise a novel and
evolving form of networked insurgents who operate globally,
harnessing the advantages of globalization and the information age.
They employ terrorism as a tactic, subsuming terror within their
overarching aim of undermining the Western-dominated system of
states. Placing the war against al Qaeda and its allied groups and
organizations in the context of a global insurgency has vital
implications for doctrine, interagency coordination, and military
cultural change--all reviewed in this important work.
He first offers a distilled analysis of al Qaeda and its associated
networks, with a particular focus on ideology and culture. In
subsequent chapters, he elucidates the challenges big powers face
when they prosecute counterinsurgencies, using historical examples
from Russian, American, British, and French counterinsurgent wars
before 2001. The book concludes with recommendations for the
integration and command and control of indigenous forces and other
agencies.
This book explores the world of religious thinking on imprisonment,
and how images of imprisonment were used in monastic thought, the
cult of saints, the early inquisitions, preaching and
hagiographical literature and the world of the crusades to describe
a conception of inclusion and freedom that was especially
meaningful to medieval Christians.

From multidisciplinary perspectives, this volume explores the roles
mothers play in the producing, purchasing, preparing and serving of
food to their own families and to their communities in a variety of
contexts. By examining cultural representations of the
relationships between feeding and parenting in diverse media and
situations, these contributions highlight the tensions in which
mothers get entangled. They show mothers' agency - or lack thereof
- in negotiating the environmental, material, and economic reality
of their feeding care work while upholding other ideals of taste,
nutrition, health and fitness shaped by cultural norms. The
contributors to Mothers and Food go beyond the normative discourses
of health and nutrition experts and beyond the idealistic images
that are part of marketing strategies. They explore what really
drives mothers to maintain or change their family's foodways, for
better or for worse, paying a particular attention to how this
shapes their maternal identity. Questioning the motto according to
which "people are what they eat," the chapters in this volume show
that mothers cannot be categorized simply by how they feed
themselves and their family.

What's Cooking, Mom? offers original and inventive narratives,
including auto-ethnographic discussions of representations,
discourses and practices about and by mothers regarding food and
families. These narratives discuss the multiple strategies through
which mothers manage feeding themselves and others, and how these
are shaped by international and regional food politics, by global
and local food cultures and by their own ethical values and
preference, as well as by those of the ones they feed.
