This book focuses on the recurring struggle over the meaning of the
Anglican Church's role in the Indian residential schools--a
long-running school system designed to assimilate Indigenous
children into Euro-Canadian culture, in which sexual,
psychological, and physical abuse were common. From the end of the
nineteenth century until the outset of twenty-first century, the
meaning of the Indian residential schools underwent a protracted
transformation. Once a symbol of the Church's sacred mission to
Christianize and civilize Indigenous children, they are now
associated with colonialism and suffering. In bringing this
transformation to light, the book addresses why the Church was so
quick to become involved in the Indian residential schools and why
acknowledgment of their deleterious impact was so protracted. In
doing so, the book adds to our understanding of the sociological
process by which perpetrators come to recognize themselves as such.

Ethno-national conflict is one of the central issues of modern
politics. Despite the emergence of approaches to managing it, from
nation-building to territorial autonomy, in recent years, the
application of these approaches has been uneven. Old conflicts
persist and new ones continually emerge. The authors of this book
contend that what is needed to drive forward the theory and
practice of ethno-national conflict management is a more nuanced
understanding of ethnicity and nationalism. The book addresses this
issue by linking theories of ethnicity and nationalism to theories
of conflict management. Its contributors share a common goal of
demonstrating that a nuanced understanding of ethnicity and
nationalism can beneficially inform conflict management in theory
and practice. To do so, they analyse both hot and cold conflict
zones, as well as cases that have been important in the development
of the most widely-used conflict management models. The book is
aimed at those interested in the theory and practice of
ethno-national conflict management as well as the study of
ethnicity and nationalism. It is well-suited for undergraduate and
advanced research students, experts and policy-makers. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Commonwealth and
Comparative Politics.
Rituals and performances are a key theme in the study of nations
and nationalism. With the aim of stimulating further research in
this area, this book explores, debates and evaluates the role of
rituals and performances in the emergence, persistence and
transformation of nations, nationalisms and national identity. The
chapters comprising this book investigate a diverse array of
contemporary and historical phenomena relating to the symbolic life
of nations, from the Yasukuni Shrine in Japan to the Louvre in
France, written by an interdisciplinary cast of world-renowned and
up-and-coming scholars. Each of the contributors has been
encouraged to think about how his or her particular approach and
methods relates to the others. This has given rise to several
recurring debates and themes running through the book over how
researchers ought to approach rituals and performances and how they
might best be studied. The Cultural Politics of Nationalism and
Nation-Building will appeal to students and scholars of ethnicity
and nationalism, sociology, political science, anthropology,
cultural studies, performance studies, art history and
architecture.

A careful analysis of the social media campaigns of Donald Trump,
Marine Le Pen, and the Brexit campaigners, which shows how today's
new nationalists are cultivating support from white majorities by
tapping into their history and culture. Across the West, there has
been a resurgence of ethnic nationalism, populism, and
anti-immigrant sentiment - a phenomenon that many commentators have
called the "new nationalism." In The New Nationalism in America and
Beyond, Robert Schertzer and Eric Taylor Woods seek to understand
why the bastions of liberalism are proving to be fertile ground for
a decidedly illiberal ideology. To do so, they examine the social
media campaigns of three of the most successful exemplars of the
new nationalism: Donald Trump in the US, Marine Le Pen in France,
and Brexit in the UK. Schertzer and Woods show how today's new
nationalists are cultivating support from white majorities by
drawing from long-standing myths and symbols to construct an image
of the nation as an ethnic community. Their cutting-edge and
multidisciplinary approach combines elements of political science,
sociology, history, and communication and media studies, to show
how leaders today are updating the historical foundations of ethnic
nationalism for the digital age.

Several alterations of brain function cause common mental problems
in young people. ADHD, autism, tic disorders, learning
difficulties, intellectual disability, and the psychotic disorders
of young people are conventionally classified and described as
discrete neuropsychiatric problems. Research, however, has made it
clear that they are complex, variable, dimensional, overlapping,
and that they frequently coexist and share aetiological influences.
Developmental Neuropsychiatry explores how clinicians often find
themselves confronted with complex problems of diagnosis and
treatment. Existing texts and guidelines, however, continue to be
organized around simple conceptualization of illness categories.
The book provides unified accounts of the complex psychiatric,
psychological, neurological, medical, social, and educational
issues that are relevant to clinical understanding.
Collection of six classic Universal Monster movies. In 'Dracula'
1931), estate agent Renfield (Dwight Frye) travels to Transylvania
to arrange the sale of an English mansion to nobleman Count Dracula
(Bela Lugosi). When Renfield discovers that his host is a
500-year-old vampire, he is bitten and himself enslaved. After
arriving in London, Dracula attempts to get his teeth into Mina
Seward (Helen Chandler), an innocent maiden betrothed to Jonathan
Harker (David Manners). Vampire expert Professor Van Helsing
(Edward van Sloan) attempts to put a stop to the bloodsucking. In
'Dracula's Daughter' (1936), vampire-hunter Dr Van Helsing (van
Sloan) believes that he has rid London of the undead when he finds
himself unexpectedly arrested for murder. A series of bodies have
been found drained of all blood, and their discovery coincides with
the arrival in the city of the mysterious Countess Marya Zaleska
(Gloria Holden), who has been to Van Helsing's psychiatrist, Dr
Garth (Otto Kruger) for consultation. From her strange behaviour
Garth and Van Helsing deduce that the countess is a vampire, and
are forced to trail her to Transylvania when she kidnaps Garth's
beautiful fiancée. In 'Son of Dracula' (1943), Katherine (Louise
Allbritton) is a student of the occult, fascinated by Count Alucard
(Lon Chaney Jr), who has recently moved to her home town in the
south of the US. Katherine secretly begins dating Alucard,
eventually marrying him. But when she begins to look and act
strangely, her former boyfriend Frank (Robert Paige) suspects that
something is wrong. In 'House of Frankenstein' (1944), when Dr.
Niemann (Boris Karloff) escapes from the mental asylum in which he
is being held, he awakens Count Dracula (John Carradine), the Wolf
Man (Chaney Jr) and the Frankenstein monster (Glenn Strange) as he
looks to gain revenge on his many enemies. In 'House of Dracula'
(1945), Count Dracula (Carradine) arrives at the laboratory of Dr
Edelman, claiming to seek a cure for his vampirism, but in fact
eager to turn Edelman's beautiful assistant into his vampire bride.
At the same time, a wretched Wolf Man Larry Talbot (Chaney Jr) asks
Edelman to bring his lycanthropy to an end. The first attempt to
cure Talbot fails, and he throws himself off a cliff in a bid to
commit suicide. This attempt fails, but leads him to an underground
cavern where he discovers the monster (Strange) created years
before by Dr Frankenstein... In 'Abbott and Costello Meet
Frankenstein' (1948), baggage clerks Bud (Bud Abbott) and Lou (Lou
Costello) find themselves in hot water when they lose a mysterious
shipment en route to the House of Horrors. It transpires that the
missing crates contained the remains of Count Dracula (Lugosi) and
Frankenstein's monster (Strange), and have now been diverted to the
island hideaway of a crazed scientist who wishes to revive the
monsters The inept duo head off to the island to avert disaster,
but will the arrival of the Wolfman (Chaney Jr) prove to be a help
or a hindrance?
A practical guide to understanding and treating children and
adolescents prone to extreme levels of angry outbursts, Disruptive
Mood: Irritability in Children and Adolescents is based on the very
latest research and theory. Providing both a clinical and
scientific perspective on irritability in children, this book is a
timely look at recent developments in the field. Abnormal states of
anger are a common reason for referral to child health services,
and cause concern in clinics, schools, and families. Misdiagnosis
and treatment can stem from a lack of understanding of the
mechanisms involved in high levels of anger in children, and
Disruptive Mood: Irritability in Children and Adolescents provides
clear guidance on the development of abnormal states of anger,
their consequences for later development, and how to assess and
make differential diagnoses between them. A useful resource for
clinical practice, this book is concise and accessible, and offers
tools for evaluating treatments. Disruptive Mood: Irritability in
Children and Adolescents is designed for practitioners involved in
child and adolescent mental health and education and researchers
who need an introduction to this complex field.
