This work departs from other important sociological studies of
voluntary associations in its use of occupation, rather than status
and social class, as the clue to the nature of work conditions that
directly affect participation in community voluntary associations.

At a time when the word "socialist" is but one of numerous
political epithets, divorced from its historical context in
America's political history, The Socialist Party of America: A
Complete History presents a new, mature understanding of America's
most important minor political party of the twentieth century. From
its origins in the Labor and Populist movements at the end of the
nineteenth century, to its heyday under the charismatic Eugene V.
Debs and persistence through the Depression and Second World War
under the steady leadership of "America's conscience," Norman
Thomas, The Socialist Party of America guides readers through the
Socialist party's twilight, ultimate demise, and the successor
groups that arose from the party's collapse.
Dramatic changes have taken place in the last decade with respect
to the views of the American Jewish community toward Israel and
Zionism. Since the beginning of the Second Intifada in 2000, the
involvement of the Israel lobby in precipitating the Iraq War and
promoting war on Iran, and Israel’s widely condemned wars in
Lebanon and Gaza, large swaths of the American Jewish community
have been disenchanted with Israel and Zionism as at no other time
since the founding of the State of Israel. However, anti-Zionism in
America has a long history. Elmer Berger was undoubtedly the
best-known Jewish anti-Zionist during most of his lifetime,
particularly from World War II through the 1967 Six-Day War and its
aftermath. A Reform rabbi, Berger served throughout that period as
the executive director of the American Council for Judaism, an
anti-Zionist organization founded by leading Reform rabbis. Author
Jack Ross places liberal Jewish anti-Zionism (as opposed to that of
Orthodox or revolutionary socialist Jews) in historical
perspective. That brand of anti-Zionism was virtually embodied by
Rabbi Berger and his predecessors in the Reform rabbinate. He
advocated forcefully for his position, much to the chagrin of his
Zionist detractors. The growing renaissance of liberal Jewish
anti-Zionism, combined with the forgotten work of Rabbi Berger and
the American Council for Judaism, makes a compelling case for
revisiting his work in this full-length, definitive biography.
A collection of the work of 28 young and mid-career poets - who
came to prominence in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s - notable
for their variety, their fresh approaches to poetic form and
subject - and their distinctive but complementary voices. This book
is a companion to the bestselling Classic New Zealand Poets in
Performance and Contemporary New Zealand Poets in Performance. It
presents material from the Aotearoa New Zealand Poetry Sound
Archive, completed in 2004 - more than two hours of poets reading
their own work. The accompanying book contains the texts of the
poems as they have been read. Selected bibliographies and short
biographies for each poet are also included, as well as an appendix
of variant readings.
Classic New Zealand Poets in Performance is a 2-CD set of 27
classic New Zealand poets, from Fairburn to Brian Turner, reading
their own work. The CDs are accompanied by a book of the texts of
the poems reproducing them exactly as read, as well as brief
biographies of and bibliographies for each poet. The poets are
arranged chronologically by date of birth and each reads for about
five minutes (2-5 poems) in recordings made in 1974 and/or 2004.
The poets include the leading voices of New Zealand poetry, Mason,
Curnow, Glover, Baxter, Edmond, Tuwhare, Frame, Campbell, Smither,
Turner, Stead, and were chosen for the quality and significance of
their work and for their commitment to voice and performance as an
integral part of their poetry. The text has been edited by Jack
Ross. The poems were selected by Jack Ross and Jan Kemp from
recordings held in the Waiata Recordings Archive (1974), collected
and edited by Jonathan Lamb, Jan Kemp and Alan Smythe, and the
Aotearoa New Zealand Poetry Sound Archive (2004) and all recordings
have been cleaned and remastered for CD by Wayne Laird of Atoll
Ltd.
