Refugees Welcome? - Difference and Diversity in a Changing Germany (Paperback): Jan-Jonathan Bock, Sharon MacDonald Refugees Welcome? - Difference and Diversity in a Changing Germany (Paperback)
Jan-Jonathan Bock, Sharon MacDonald
R828 Discovery Miles 8 280 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The arrival in 2015 and 2016 of over one million asylum seekers and refugees in Germany had major social consequences and gave rise to extensive debates about the nature of cultural diversity and collective life. This volume examines the responses and implications of what was widely seen as the most significant and contested social change since German reunification in 1990. It combines in-depth studies based on anthropological fieldwork with analyses of the longer trajectories of migration and social change. Its original conclusions have significance not only for Germany but also for the understanding of diversity and difference more widely.

The Interfaith Movement - Mobilising Religious Diversity in the 21st Century (Paperback): John Fahy, Jan-Jonathan Bock The Interfaith Movement - Mobilising Religious Diversity in the 21st Century (Paperback)
John Fahy, Jan-Jonathan Bock
R1,265 Discovery Miles 12 650 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Although its beginnings can be traced back to the late 19th century, the interfaith movement has only recently begun to attract mainstream attention, with governments, religious leaders and grassroots activists around the world increasingly turning to interfaith dialogue and collective action to address the challenges posed and explore the opportunities presented by religious diversity in a globalising world. This volume explores the history and development of the interfaith movement by engaging with new theoretical perspectives and a diverse range of case studies from around the world. The first book to bring together experts in the fields of religion, politics and social movement theory to offer an in-depth social analysis of the interfaith movement, it not only sheds new light on the movement itself, but challenges the longstanding academic division of labour that confines 'religious' and 'social' movements to separate spheres of inquiry.

Emergent Religious Pluralisms (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2019): Jan-Jonathan Bock, John Fahy, Samuel Everett Emergent Religious Pluralisms (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2019)
Jan-Jonathan Bock, John Fahy, Samuel Everett
R3,533 Discovery Miles 35 330 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In a rapidly changing world, in which religious identities emerge as crucial fault lines in political and public discourse, this volume brings together multiple disciplinary perspectives in order to investigate shifting conceptions of, and commitments to, the ideals of religious pluralism. Spanning theology, sociology, politics and anthropology, the chapters explore various approaches to coexistence, political visions of managing diversity and lived experiences of multireligiosity, in order to examine how modes of religious pluralism are being constructed and contested in different parts of the world. Contributing authors analyse challenges to religious pluralism, as well as innovative kinds of conviviality, that produce meaningful engagements with diversity and shared community life across different social, political and economic settings. This book will be relevant to scholars of religion, community life, social change and politics, and will also be of interest to civil society organisations, NGOs, international agencies and local, regional and national policymakers.

Austerity, Community Action, and the Future of Citizenship in Europe (Paperback): Shana Cohen, Christina Fuhr, Jan-Jonathan Bock Austerity, Community Action, and the Future of Citizenship in Europe (Paperback)
Shana Cohen, Christina Fuhr, Jan-Jonathan Bock
R744 Discovery Miles 7 440 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The politics of austerity has seen governments across Europe cut back on welfare provision. As the State retreats, this edited collection explores secular and faith-based grassroots social action in Germany and the United Kingdom that has evolved in response to changing economic policy and expanding needs, from basic items such as food to more complex means to move out of poverty. Bringing together scholars from different disciplines and practitioners in several areas of social intervention, the book explores how the conceptualization and constitutive practices of citizenship and community are changing because of the retreat of the State and the challenge of meeting social and material needs, creating new opportunities for local activism. The book provides new ways of thinking about social and political belonging and about the relations between individual, collective, and State responsibility.

Citizens without a City - Destruction and Despair after the L'Aquila Earthquake (Hardcover): Jan-Jonathan Bock Citizens without a City - Destruction and Despair after the L'Aquila Earthquake (Hardcover)

In 2009, after seismic tremors struck the Italian mountain town of L'Aquila, survivors were subjected to a "second earthquake"—invasive media attention and a relief effort that left them in a state of suspended citizenship as they were forcibly resettled and had to envision a new future. In Citizens without a City, Jan-Jonathan Bock reveals how a disproportionate government response exacerbated survivors' sense of crisis, divided the local population, and induced new types of political action. Italy's disenfranchising emergency reaction relocated citizens to camps and sites across a ruined townscape, without a plan for restoration or return. Through grassroots politics, arts and culture, commemoration rituals, architectural projects, and legal avenues, local people now sought to shape their hometown's recovery. Bock combines an analysis of the catastrophe's impact with insights into post-disaster civic life, urban heritage, the politics of mourning, and community fragmentation. A fascinating read for anyone interested in urban culture, disaster, and politics, Citizens without a City illustrates how survivors battled to retain a sense of purpose and community after the L'Aquila earthquake.
