Religious rivalries have been at the root of many human conflicts
throughout history. Representatives of nine world religions offer
insights into the teachings of nonviolence within their tradition,
how practice has often fallen short of the ideals, and how they can
overcome the contagion of hatred through a return to traditional
teachings on nonviolence. Included are a new Foreword and Preface,
a new Introduction by Daniel Smith-Christopher, two new chapters on
Islam and the indigenous religion of the Maori, and a new Epilogue.
In addition, study questions have been added to each chapter.
This comprehensive Handbook illuminates the objectives and
economics behind competition law. It takes a global comparative
approach to explore competition law and policy in a range of
jurisdictions with differing political economies, legal systems and
stages of development. A set of expert international contributors
examine the operation and enforcement of competition law around the
world in order to globalize discussions surrounding the
foundational issues of this topic. In doing so, they not only
reveal the range of approaches to competition law, but also
identify certain basic economic concepts and types of
anticompetitive conduct that are at the core of competition law.
Taking a forward-thinking perspective, the Handbook also analyses
the challenges to the assessment methodology of anticompetitive
conduct that are posed by the growth of the digital environment and
changing views on economic approaches. This Handbook's detailed
analytical and comparative approach to economics and competition
law will be valuable for academics and students of these subjects.
Its focus on policy and key case studies from across the globe will
also be beneficial for legal practitioners and competition
regulators.
Race and Respectability in an Early Black Atlantic examines the
means through which people of African descent embodied tenets of
respectability as a coping strategy to navigate enslavement and
racial oppression in the early Black Atlantic world. The term
"respectability politics" refers to the way members of a
minoritized population adopt the customs and manners of a dominant
culture in order to gain visibility and combat negative stereotypes
about their subject group. Today respectability politics can be
seen in how those within and outside Black communities police the
behavior of Black celebrities, critique protest movements, and
celebrate accomplishments by people of African descent who break
racial barriers. To study the origins of the complicated
relationship between race and respectability, Cassander L. Smith
shows that early American literatures reveal Black communities
engaging with issues of respectability from the very beginning of
the transatlantic slave trade. Concerns about character and
comportment influenced the literary production of Black Atlantic
communities, particularly in the long eighteenth century.
Uncovering the central importance of respectability as a theme
shaping the literary development of cultures throughout the early
Black Atlantic, Smith illuminates the mechanics of respectability
politics in a range of texts, including poetry, letters, and life
writing by Phillis Wheatley, Olaudah Equiano, and expatriates on
the west coast of Africa in Sierra Leone. Through these early Black
texts, Race and Respectability in an Early Black Atlantic considers
respectability politics as a malleable strategy that has both
energized and suppressed Black cultures for centuries.
This study illuminates the complex interplay between Deleuze and
Guattari's philosophy and architecture. Presenting their
wide-ranging impact on late 20th- and 21st-century architecture,
each chapter focuses on a core Deleuzian/Guattarian philosophical
concept and one key work of architecture which evokes, contorts, or
extends it. Challenging the idea that a concept or theory defines
and then produces the physical work and not vice versa, Chris L.
Smith positions the relationship between Deleuze and Guattari's
philosophy and the field of architecture as one that is mutually
substantiating and constitutive. In this framework, modes of
architectural production and experimentation become inextricable
from the conceptual territories defined by these two key thinkers,
producing a rigorous discussion of theoretical, practical, and
experimental engagements with their ideas.
'Goodly Heritage' by Dwight L. Smith is the most comprehensive
historical account ever written about the Freemasons in the state
of Indiana. It was originally published in 1968 in conjunction with
the 150th anniversary of the January 1818 founding of the Grand
Lodge of Indiana F&AM in Madison, and is widely considered to
be the most authoritative historical reference work for the state's
fraternity. It contains a wealth of early photographs of historic
lodges and influential men within the Masonic community, along with
exhaustive reference lists of lodges, grand lodge officers, and
more. This facsimile reprint edition was authorized in 2018 in
conjunction with the Grand Lodge's Bicentennial celebration and
through the assistance of the Masonic Library and Museum of
Indiana, Inc.
