Shortlisted for the British Academy Book Prize for Global Cultural Understanding Making the radical argument that the nation-state was born of colonialism, this book calls us to rethink political violence and reimagine political community beyond majorities and minorities. In this genealogy of political modernity, Mahmood Mamdani argues that the nation-state and the colonial state created each other. In case after case around the globe-from the New World to South Africa, Israel to Germany to Sudan-the colonial state and the nation-state have been mutually constructed through the politicization of a religious or ethnic majority at the expense of an equally manufactured minority. The model emerged in North America, where genocide and internment on reservations created both a permanent native underclass and the physical and ideological spaces in which new immigrant identities crystallized as a settler nation. In Europe, this template would be used by the Nazis to address the Jewish Questio...

Mastering Leadership: Shift the Drift and Change the World is a comprehensive, fresh, and exciting new interpretation of leading and the role of leadership.Our world won't change because we HOPE for world peace, a healthy planet, and safe schools for our kids. Change happens when one committed person stands up to make a difference and inspires others to do the same. Master leaders change the world. What if the title of "leader" was actually inconsequential in the true role and responsibility of leadership? Most people see "the leader" as the ultimate authority in business, government, and life. We're trained to think that if we work hard and achieve our goals, eventually someone else will bestow the mantle of leadership on us as an acknowledgment of our accomplishments.What if, instead, you start leading today? Mastering Leadership: Shift the Drift and Change the World will take you on an eye-opening journey of discovering what leadership can mean for the s...

WARTIME BERLIN: The Niemann family - Karl, Minna and their four children - live in a quiet, suburban enclave. Every day Karl commutes to work, a business manager travelling around inspecting his "factories". In the evenings he returns home to life as a normal family man. Three years ago Derek Niemann, born and raised in Scotland, made the chilling discovery that his grandfather Karl had been an officer in the SS - and that his "business" used thousands of slave labourers in concentration camps, such as Auschwitz, Dachau, Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen. Derek had known little about the German side of his family, but now a lifetime of unsettling hints and clues began to fall into place. With the help of surviving relatives and hundreds of previously unknown family photographs, Derek uncovers the true story of what Karl did. A Nazi in the Family is an illuminating portrayal of how ordinary people can fall into the service of a monstrous regime. ...

Brawurowa powieść białoruska: nad Bugiem, na ziemi brutalnie przeciętej pasem granicznym, w sielskiej wiosce Dobratycze ginie najstarsza jej mieszkanka, babcia Makrynia. Kto i dlaczego wsypał truciznę do kubka z kawą na werandzie? Czy babcia naprawdę była, jak szeptano w okolicy, wiedźmą? A jeśli tak, czy zdoła po śmierci ukarać swoich morderców i obronić wieś przed zagładą? Świetnie, reportażowo wręcz opisane realia współczesnej Białorusi zapewne zaskoczą Polaków: uczciwe, prywatne firmy, duże pieniądze, Internet pod strzechami, a z drugiej strony dynamiczna mieszanka języków, kultur i religii, lokalna świadomość sięgająca czasów unii brzeskiej – wszystko to mocno odbiega od stereotypu smutnego, płaskiego kraju, przygniecionego polityką prowincjonalnego reżimu.

Natalia Babina urodziła się w 1966 roku we wsi Zakazank...

In the West, news about the Middle East is dominated by an endless stream of reports and commentary about civil war, sectarian violence, religious extremism, and economic stagnation. But do they tell the full story? For instance, who knew that university enrolment in the war-torn Palestinian territories exceeds that of Hong Kong, or that more than a third of Lebanese entrepreneurs are women? Change is on its way in the Middle East, argues Bessma Momani, and its cause is demographic. Today, one in five Arabs is between the ages of fifteen and twenty-four. Young, optimistic, and increasingly cosmopolitan, their generation will shape the region's future. Drawing on interviews, surveys, and other research conducted with young people in fifteen countries across the Arab world, Momani describes the passion for entrepreneurship, reform, and equality among Arab youth. With insightful political analysis based on the latest statistics and first-hand accounts, Arab Dawn is an invigorating stu...

In his new book, Goeran Therborn - author of the now standard comparative work on classical sociology and historical materialism, Science, Class and Society - looks at successive state structures in an arrestingly fresh perspective. Therborn uses the formal categories of modern system analysis - input mechanisms, processes of transformation, output flows - to advance a substantive Marxist analysis of state power and state apparatuses. His account of these is comparative in the most far-reaching historical sense: its object is nothing less than the construction of systematic typology of the differences between the feudal state, the capitalist state and the socialist state. Therborn ranges from the monarchies of mediaeval Europe through the bourgeois democracies of the west in the 20th century to the contemporary regimes in Russia, Eastern Europe and China. The book ends with a major analytic survey of the strategies of working class parties for socialism, from the Second International t...

A groundswell of interest has led to significant advances in understanding and using Culturally Responsive Arts Education to promote social justice and education. This landmark volume provides a theoretical orientation to these endeavors. Examining a range of efforts across different forms of art, various educational settings, and diverse contexts, it foregrounds the assets of imagination, creativity, resilience, critique and cultural knowledge, working against prevailing understandings of marginalized groups as having deficits of knowledge, skills, or culture.
