Metaracial - Professor Rei Terada

Metaracial - Professor Rei Terada

\Exploring anxieties raised by Atlantic slavery in radical enlightenment literature concerned about political unfreedom in Europe, Metaracial argues that Hegel's philosophy assuages these anxieties for the left. Interpreting Hegel beside Rousseau, Kant, Mary Shelley, and Marx, Terada traces Hegel's transposition of racial hierarchy into a hierarchy of stances toward reality. By doing so, she argues, Hegel is simultaneously antiracist and antiblack. In dialogue with Black Studies, psychoanalysis,..

Madness and Enterprise - Nima Bassiri

Madness and Enterprise - Nima Bassiri

\This book explores the economic norms embedded within psychiatric thinking about mental illness in the North Atlantic world. Over the course of the nineteenth century, the concept of madness was subjected to an economically saturated style of psychiatric reasoning. Psychiatrists across Western Europe and the United States attributed financial and even moral value to an array of pathological conditions, such that some mental disorders were seen as financial assets and others as economic liabilities...

Trading Freedom - How Trade with China Defined Early America - Dael A. Norwood

Trading Freedom - How Trade with China Defined Early America - Dael A. Norwood

\Dael Norwood reveals that much of America's early growth and self-definition was shaped by its multifarious relations with China. Correspondingly, he shows that America was not solely the product of its Atlantic engagements; the Pacific always played a critical role in economic, social, and cultural development. Norwood weaves together arguments about commerce, foreign policy, and immigration, connecting the growing US presence in the \China trade\ with domestic developments, including Federalist-era..

A Transnational Poetics - Jahan (University of Virginia) Ramazani

A Transnational Poetics - Jahan (University of Virginia) Ramazani

Poetry is often viewed as culturally homogeneous-\stubbornly national,\ in T. S. Eliot's phrase, or \the most provincial of the arts,\ according to W. H. Auden. But in A Transnational Poetics, Jahan Ramazani uncovers the ocean-straddling energies of the poetic imagination-in modernism and the Harlem Renaissance; in post-World War II North America and the North Atlantic; and in ethnic American, postcolonial, and black British writing. Cross-cultural exchange and influence are, he argues, among..

Authoritarianism - Three Inquiries in Critical Theory - Wendy Brown

Authoritarianism - Three Inquiries in Critical Theory - Wendy Brown

Across the Euro-Atlantic world, political leaders have been mobilizing their bases with nativism, racism, xenophobia, and paeans to \traditional values,\ in brazen bids for electoral support. How are we to understand this move to the mainstream of political policies and platforms that lurked only on the far fringes through most of the postwar era? Does it herald a new wave of authoritarianism? Is liberal democracy itself in crisis? In this volume, three distinguished scholars draw on critical theory..

Oceans under Glass - Samantha Muka

Oceans under Glass - Samantha Muka

\A welcome dive into the world of aquarium craft that offers much-needed knowledge about undersea environments. Atlantic coral is rapidly disappearing in the wild. To save the species, they will have to be reproduced quickly in captivity, and so for the last decade conservationists have been at work trying to preserve their lingering numbers and figure out how to rebuild once-thriving coral reefs from a few survivors. Captive environments, built in dedicated aquariums, offer some hope for these..

Invested - Paul Crosthwaite

Invested - Paul Crosthwaite

\As more people than ever invest in the stock market, many feel a profound need for professional advice about it. Yet a financial adviser generally has no idea what's going to happen. The 300-year history of everyday financial advice in the capitalist world--encompassing eighteenth-century domestic advice manuals; Gilded Age swindles; market crashes; the boom in self-help rhetoric; and TV shoutfests--is one of dart throwing, brazen hucksterism, and serial failure. It spans the Atlantic and is ultimately..

A Sense of Things - The Object Matter of American Literature - Bill Brown

A Sense of Things - The Object Matter of American Literature - Bill Brown

In May 1906, the \Atlantic Monthly commented that Americans live not merely in an age of things, but under the tyranny of them, and that in our relentless effort to sell, purchase, and accumulate things, we do not possess them as much as they possess us. For Bill Brown, the tale of that possession is something stranger than the history of a culture of consumption. It is the story of Americans using things to think about themselves. Brown's captivating new study explores the roots of modern America's..

Rethinking America's Highways - A 21st-Century Vision for Better Infrastructure - Robert W. Poole Jr.

Rethinking America's Highways - A 21st-Century Vision for Better Infrastructure - Robert W. Poole Jr.

Americans spend hours every day sitting in traffic. And the roads they idle on are often rough and potholed, their exits, tunnels, guardrails, and bridges in terrible disrepair. According to transportation expert Robert Poole, this congestion and deterioration are outcomes of the way America provides its highways. Our twentieth-century model overly politicizes highway investment decisions, short-changing maintenance and often investing in projects whose costs exceed their benefits. In Rethinking..

Power in the Wild - The Subtle and Not-So-Subtle Ways Animals Strive for Control over Others - Lee Alan Dugatkin

Power in the Wild - The Subtle and Not-So-Subtle Ways Animals Strive for Control over Others - Lee Alan Dugatkin

\Hermit crabs might not be the first example that comes to mind when thinking about power in animal relationships, but they are representative of the costs, benefits, assessment, and struggles that animal behaviorist Lee Dugatkin explains in Power in the Wild. Besides learning that researchers can evict all crabs from their shells by tickling their abdomens with paintbrushes, readers discover that attacker crabs can assess both the quality of shells and the ability of competitors to hold onto them-..

Policing Welfare - Punitive Adversarialism in Public Assistance - Spencer Headworth

Policing Welfare - Punitive Adversarialism in Public Assistance - Spencer Headworth

Means-tested government assistance in the United States requires recipients to meet certain criteria and continue to maintain their eligibility so that benefits are paid to the \truly needy.\ Welfare is regarded with such suspicion in this country that considerable resources are spent policing the boundaries of eligibility, which are delineated by an often confusing and baroque set of rules and regulations. Even minor infractions of the many rules can cause people to be dropped from these programs,..

A Problem of Fit - How the Complexity of College Pricing Hurts Students-and Universities - Phillip B. Levine

A Problem of Fit - How the Complexity of College Pricing Hurts Students-and Universities - Phillip B. Levine

\A college education doesn't come with a sticker price. Maybe it should. Millions of Americans miss out on the economic benefits of a college education because of concerns around the costs. Financial aid systems offer limited help and produce uneven distributions. In the United States today, the systems meant to improve access to education have added a new layer of deterrence. In Mismatch, economist Philip B. Levine examines the role of financial aid systems in facilitating (and discouraging) access..

Probable Justice - Risk, Insurance, and the Welfare State - Rachel Z Friedman

Probable Justice - Risk, Insurance, and the Welfare State - Rachel Z Friedman

\The welfare state has today become a political cudgel used to assign blame for ballooning national debt and tout the need for personal responsibility. Despite objections, social insurance-from workers' compensation laws to pension, disability, and unemployment benefits, to healthcare and parental leave policies-defines the modern welfare state and permeates daily life. Any rationale for a system of social insurance has to account for these questions: How do we assess the burden of risk over time?..

The Capital Order - Clara E. Mattei

The Capital Order - Clara E. Mattei

\For more than a century, governments facing financial crisis have resorted to the economic policies of austerity-cuts to wages, fiscal spending, and public benefits-as a means to regain solvency. While these policies have been successful in appeasing creditors, they've had devastating effects on social and economic welfare in countries all over the world. Today, as austerity remains a favored policy among troubled states, an important question remains: what if solvency was never really the goal?..

Trade-Offs - Harold Winter

Trade-Offs - Harold Winter

The highly engaging introduction to thinking like an economist, updated for a new generation of readers. When economists wrestle with any social issue--be it unemployment, inflation, healthcare, or crime and punishment--they do so impersonally. The big question for them is: what are the costs and benefits, or trade-offs, of the solutions to such matters? These trade-offs constitute the core of how economists see the world--and make the policies that govern it. Trade-Offs is an introduction to the..
