Ready to get radical with your potholder weaving? Most of us
learned to weave on our potholder looms in Plain Weave, and it's a
great place to start, but your little loom is capable of so much
more! Author Deborah Jean Cohen began exploring the possibilities
of potholder weaving and found a whole group of similarly obsessed
weavers on Facebook. Soon they were sharing and swapping techniques
and patterns. They found that many Twill weaves translate easily to
the potholder loom. And if you weave each of the two strands of a
loop separately (instead of as one unit), you double the number of
warps and wefts on your loom and exponentially increase the number
of designs you can make. And have you tried weaving with a clasped
weft to divide your weaving into sections for entirely new effects?
Begin your radical potholder journey by trying the multitude of
intriguing potholder designs presented in easy-to-follow charts.
Many patterns are shown in a variety of color schemes to give you
an idea of the possibilities, and you'll find yourself lost in many
hours of joyful weaving. When you are ready to make your own
designs, you'll find the advice on adapting an existing weaving
draft to a potholder loom chart invaluable. You'll be amazed at the
hundreds of variations you can make with just this one simple loom!
This edited volume explores the theoretical and practical
implications of war and terror situations for citizenship in
democratic states. Citizenship is a key concept in Western
political thought for defining the individual's relations with
society. The specific nature of these rights, duties and
contributions, as well the relations between them, are determined
by the citizenship discourses that prevail in each society. In
wartime, including low-intensity wars, democratic societies face
different challenges than the ones facing them during peacetime, in
areas such as human rights, the status of minorities, the state's
obligations to its citizens, and the meaning of social solidarity.
War situations can affect not only the scope of citizenship as an
institution, but also the relations between the prevailing
discourses of citizenship and between different groups of citizens.
Since 9/11 and the declaration of the 'war on terror', many
democracies have been grappling with issues rising out of the
interface between citizenship and war. This volume examines the
effects of war on various aspects of citizenship practice,
including: immigration and naturalization, the welfare state,
individual liberties, gender relations, multiculturalism, social
solidarity, and state - civil society relations. This book will be
of great interest to students of military studies, political
science, IR and security studies in general.

The achievements of the democratic constitutional order have long
been associated with the sovereign nation-state. Civic nationalist
assumptions hold that social solidarity and social plurality are
compatible, offering a path to guarantees of individual rights,
social justice, and tolerance for minority voices. Yet today,
challenges to the liberal-democratic sovereign nation-state are
proliferating on all levels, from multinational corporations and
international institutions to populist nationalisms and revanchist
ethnic and religious movements. Many critics see the nation-state
itself as a tool of racial and economic exclusion and repression.
What other options are available for managing pluralism, fostering
self-government, furthering social justice, and defending equality?
In this interdisciplinary volume, a group of prominent
international scholars considers alternative political formations
to the nation-state and their ability to preserve and expand the
achievements of democratic constitutionalism in the twenty-first
century. The book considers four different principles of
organization-federation, subsidiarity, status group legal
pluralism, and transnational corporate autonomy-contrasts them with
the unitary and centralized nation-state, and inquires into their
capacity to deal with deep societal differences. In essays that
examine empire, indigenous struggles, corporate institutions, forms
of federalism, and the complexities of political secularism,
anthropologists, historians, legal scholars, political scientists,
and sociologists remind us that the sovereign nation-state is not
inevitable and that multinational and federal states need not
privilege a particular group. Forms of Pluralism and Democratic
Constitutionalism helps us answer the crucial question of whether
any of the alternatives might be better suited to core democratic
principles.
