Jewish anarchism has long been marginalized in histories of
anarchist thought and action. Anna Elena Torres and Kenyon Zimmer
edit a collection of essays which recovers many aspects of this
erased tradition. Contributors bring to light the presence and
persistence of Jewish anarchism throughout histories of radical
labor, women's studies, political theory, multilingual literature,
and ethnic studies. These essays reveal an ongoing engagement with
non-Jewish radical cultures, including the translation practices of
the Jewish anarchist press. Jewish anarchists drew from a matrix of
secular, cultural, and religious influences, inventing new
anarchist forms that ranged from mystical individualism to
militantly atheist revolutionary cells. With Freedom in Our Ears
brings together more than a dozen scholars and translators to write
the first collaborative history of international, multilingual, and
transdisciplinary Jewish anarchism.
Essentials of Critical Participatory Action Research (CPAR) shows
how researchers can commit to doing participatory research projects
WITH, not ON, marginalized individuals, and in so doing, help
document, challenge, and transform social injustices. The authors
provide rich examples of their work with diverse communities such
as LGBTQIA+ young adults, prisoners, domestic violence survivors,
and asylum-seekers. Ethical concerns are explored in depth as
readers are challenged to embrace the mantra of "No research on us,
without us."
The first substantial and focused critical study of Jesmyn Ward,
now one of the most widely read, taught and studied contemporary
authors Includes a co-authored introduction, twenty chapters and
'Afterword' Moves beyond existing Ward scholarship which focuses
predominantly on two texts Gives space and attention to Ward's
substantial body of non-fiction work This collection of essays
provides a thorough and probing account of an author who is quickly
becoming one of the most read, studied and taught contemporary
writers, but whose work remains underrepresented in scholarship. It
is broad and ambitious in scope, mirroring the richness of Ward's
oeuvre, and it brings together a diverse and dynamic range of
approaches that reflect the scholarly conversations in which Ward
is embedded.
An innovative study of Yiddish literature that reveals the impact
of anarchist movements and refugee organizing on Jewish literary
history  Spanning the last two centuries, this fascinating
work combines archival research on the radical press and close
readings of Yiddish poetry to offer an original literary study of
the Jewish anarchist movement. The narrative unfolds through a cast
of historical characters, from the well known—such as Emma
Goldman—to the more obscure, including an anarchist rabbi who
translated the Talmud and a feminist doctor who organized for
women’s suffrage and against national borders. Its literary scope
includes the Soviet epic poemas of Peretz Markish, the journalism
and modernist poetry of Anna Margolin, and the early radical prose
of Malka Heifetz Tussman. Â Anna Elena Torres examines
Yiddish anarchist aesthetics from the nineteenth-century Russian
proletarian immigrant poets through the modernist avant-gardes of
Warsaw, Chicago, and London to contemporary antifascist composers.
The book also traces Jewish anarchist strategies for negotiating
surveillance, censorship, detention, and deportation, revealing the
connection between Yiddish modernism and struggles for free speech,
women’s bodily autonomy, and the transnational circulation of
avant-garde literature. Â Rather than focusing on narratives
of assimilation, Torres intervenes in earlier models of Jewish
literature by centering refugee critique of the border. Jewish
deportees, immigrants, and refugees opposed citizenship as the
primary guarantor of human rights. Instead, they cultivated
stateless imaginations, elaborated through literature.

PAR EntreMundos: A Pedagogy of the Americas challenges the standard
narratives of "achievement" to think about how Latinx students can
experience an education that forges new possibilities of liberation
and justice. Growing Latinx student populations have led to
concerns about "assimilating" them into mainstream academic
frameworks. This book offers an alternative, decolonizing approach
that embraces complex Latinx identities and clears a path toward
resisting systems of oppression. Educating Latinx students should
involve more than just helping them achieve in school but rather
having them recognize their agency to transform the larger
structure of education to promote justice-oriented practices. The
authors offer a framework for such transformation by honoring their
theoretical lineages, proposing a set of guiding principles, and
sharing stories about collective social action within and outside
Latinx communities. PAR EntreMundos: A Pedagogy of the Americas is
a practice of liberation and freedom.
While the power to prescribe rules as to which aliens may enter the
United States and which aliens may be removed resides solely with
the federal government, the impact of alien migration -- whether
lawful or unlawful -- is arguably felt most directly in the
communities where aliens settle. State and local responses to
unlawfully present aliens within their jurisdictions have varied
considerably, particularly as to the role that state and local
police should play in enforcing federal immigration law. Some
states, cities, and other municipalities have sought to play an
active role in immigration enforcement efforts. However, others
have been unwilling to assist the federal government in enforcing
measures that distinguish between residents with legal immigration
status and those who lack authorisation under federal law to be
present in the United States. In some circumstances, these
jurisdictions have actively opposed federal immigration
authorities' efforts to identify and remove certain unlawfully
present aliens within their jurisdictions. This book discusses
legal issues related to state and local measures that limit law
enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities. It
provides a brief overview of the constitutional principles
informing the relationship between federal immigration authorities
and state and local jurisdictions, including the federal
government's power to preempt state and local activities under the
Supremacy Clause, and the Tenth Amendment's proscription against
Congress directly "commandeering" the states to administer a
federally enacted regulatory scheme. It also discusses various
types of measures adopted or considered by states and localities to
limit their participation in federal immigration enforcement
efforts; discusses the authority of state and local law enforcement
to assist in the enforcement of federal immigration law through the
investigation and arrest of persons believed to have violated such
laws; and describes federal statutes.
