"At a time when there is so much interest in Iran and such temptation to oversimplify or stereotype political developments in the region, along comes Alireza Asgharzadeh, an Iranian-raised Azerbaijani now working in Canada with a flowing, decolonizing, poetic call for a new and energizing look at language, power, race and hope. Brilliant." - Budd Hall, Senior Fellow, Centre for Global Studies, University of Victoria

"This book makes an original contribution to the scholarship on race and the poetics of anti-racism by highlighting the intersections of race with language, culture, and education. The book is a bold attempt to re-theorize race and its intersections with language, class and the cultural politics of education. It adds to our knowledge on how to resist the poisonous virus of racism. It is a most welcome addition to literature on difference and power, multilingualism, and critical anti-racist education." - George J. Sefa Dei, Professor and Chair of Sociology and Equity Studies, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto

"There is no doubt in my mind that this is the most comprehensive and exhaustive study in the English language of the roots of the plight of oppressed nationalities in Iran. The book will allow academics, literary theorists and professors, politicians and journalists - as well as laymen - to acquire an in-depth knowledge of what systematic oppression can inflict upon cultures which could have flourished." - Reza Baraheni, Professor of Comparative Literature, University of Toronto

"This provides a powerful unraveling of the historical, political and discursive strands of racism and nationalism woven through the complex tapestry of Iranian society. The anti-racist and anti-colonial framework of the book enables a critical engagement with the politics of nation building that has silenced and excluded marginalized and minoritized histories, languages and cultures within Iran. This book is a unique, timely and much needed examination of the social, cultural and religious politics in Iran." - Jasmine Zine, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Wilfrid Laurier University

"The book makes an original contribution as the first multidisciplinary study of Iran's multiethnic factor, and it will prove a timely resource to students and policy-makers." - Brenda Shaffer, Research Fellow, International Security Program, Harvard University

"A gifted new scholar of the Nixon era, Sarah Mergel gives us the crucial untold story of how the most complex and controversial modern president became both the nemesis and political inspiration of conservatives. It s epic history, from the turbulent inner realities of détente and the Republican seizure of the South to the neocon zenith under George W. Bush. Capturing the essence of politics as power, interests, and ideas, this is indispensable reading for anyone wanting to understand today s America." - Roger Morris, Author of Richard Milhous Nixon: The Rise of an American Politician

"Mergel displays an amazing grasp of the thinking of conservative intellectuals. Through her discussions of the differing views of various right-wing thinkers, she is able to show the complexity of conservatism during these years. Her organization, both of the entire work and the individual chapters, is well thought out and practical. This is an important topic and one that deserves the attention she has given it. In light of Nixon s desire to be taken seriously as an intellectual and because of all of the scholarly attention his ideological pragmatism gets, Mergel has completed an important work here." - Mary C. Brennan, Professor of History, Texas State University-San Marcos

“Modes of Governance and Revenue Flows in African Mining is not only timely, but a valuable addition to the field. … I find the book is a significant asset to the literature on African mining, revenue flows, and issues of development in Africa.” (Felix Kumah-Abiwu, African Studies Quarterly, Vol. 16 (1), December, 2015)"This book offers a richly detailed and timely analysis of contemporary debates about mineral governance and revenue flows in&nbsp;Africa. [...] Its incisive analysis of power and institutions in the mining sector make this a highly momentous contribution that will be appealing, interesting and useful for many readers for years to come." - Samuel J. Spiegel, The Extractive Industries and Society

Modes of Governance and Revenue Flows in African Mining

'With masterly attention to detail and sources, John Shaw traces the twists and turns of the evolving story of world food security. The strength and originality of Shaw's account is its comprehensiveness, never losing the storyline but bridging the macro and the micro, commodity agreements and global reserves, human rights and early warning systems and the roles of all the UN agencies involved. This fascinating account provides another piece in the jigsaw of the UN's contributions to economic and social governance over the last 60 years and the lessons to be drawn for facing the challenges of the years ahead.' - Professor Sir Richard Jolly, Institute of Development Studies, Sussex, and the UN Intellectual History Project, CUNY Graduate Center, New York, USA

'Hunger and under-nutrition provide the graphic images which drive an oft-stated passion for international development - by politicians and ordinary citizens. Why, then, are hunger reduction targets so often missed? John Shaw reminds us that passion and commitment need to be complemented with the hard grind of policy and institutional change. His authoritative history illustrates the frustrations, but also the hope. Hunger in the world is falling partly because we have acted collectively to make it so.' - Simon Maxwell, Director, Overseas Development Institute, London, UK
