"Wolff combines history and music at an extraordinarily deep level and on a particularly large scale....[He shows] that the Singing Turk and associated figures, values, and musical elements had, indeed, played a paramount role in the construction of European identity, and that operatic stages had been primary venues for the articulation of that process....Never before has a study been able to illustrate this intricate process with such completeness and richness."

"Robinson's book is one of the most interesting and provocative reconsiderations of Socialism and socialist culture to date. Its achievement lies primarily in using the historical distance to think of socialist culture not as a failed experiment, but as a case study about the fundamental problem of social change. As capitalism's self-generated crises become increasingly manifest, Robinson re-examines a not-so-distant past that might not have been better, but was certainly different.  What counts, and what interests him, is that difference."

a most challenging and disturbing book ... the book meticulously evidences the failure of mass imprisonment to deliver a minimum quality of civilised human existence ... It shows the historical continuity of injustice and absurdity in any mass system.

"This book gives a fully researched analysis of second-generation Holocaust writing. It is particularly original in its focus on psychoanalytic treatments of the children of survivors, and the mixture of primary texts analyzed constitutes a stimulating range, from memoir to fiction. In particular, Louise Kehoe's In This Dark House deserves to be better known, and Grimwood's presentation of it here excellently foregrounds how fascinating and important it is." - Sue Vice, Professor of English Literature, University of Sheffield, UK

Holocaust Literature of the Second Generation

"A sweeping investigation into why two promising regions took such radically different paths. In this lucid, timely and meticulously researched work, Elson bolsters his thesis by comparing the evolutions of six nations: Jamaica versus Singapore, Chile versus Malaysia, and Indonesia versus Venezuela. The starkly different outcomes offer broad lessons for policymakers, which the author deftly outlines in 10 'propositions' about the nature of successful economic development. Any economics text requires some intellectual stamina, but Elson does an admirable job of untangling the complex forces at work and presenting them in ways that laymen can understand. Anyone with a political or financial stake in the developing world should study this compelling, scholarly work." - Kirkus Reviews

"Anthony Elson compares and contrasts the very different growth experiences of East Asia and Latin America, pulling together the evidence and critically examining the role that policies, institutions, history, and endowments played in influencing the development trajectories of these two regions. His extensive, varied career as an international economist with both the IMF and the World Bank, and his research and teaching on the economic and financial policies of both of these regions, uniquely enable him to explain their different development outcomes with a broad interdisciplinary vision and in a compelling, accessible way. This book will be of interest particularly to development practitioners and to students in economics, history, and public policy, but it deserves to be read much more widely as it yields valuable insights into the messy and unpredictable process of economic development." - Cory Krupp, Director of Graduate Studies, Master of International Development Policy, Sanford School of Public Policy, Duke University, USA

"Anthony Elson has written a book that should be required reading for all Latin American policy makers. He cogently identifies the failings of development efforts in the region, when compared to East Asia, and he correctly analyzes what needs to be done to 'catch up.' To avoid the failures of the past, decision-makers need to transparently protect property rights, develop competent bureaucracies, reduce inequality, upgrade basic physical infrastructure, and invest in technology and education. These are the Asian hallmarks of competitiveness and shared growth. Unless these issues are addressed, Latin America is condemned to live with the natural resource 'curse' that has plagued it for centuries." - Riordan Roett, Sarita and Don Johnston Professor and Director of Western Hemisphere Studies and Latin American Studies Program, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, USA

"It is pleasing to see the publication of a collection of eight fairly short essays edited by young scholars whose aim is to discuss representations of Charlemagne found in medieval art and in the historical and literary documents produced during the centuries immediately following his death . . .the legend of Charlemagne analysed in these studies affords us rich insights into the mentalités of the Middle Ages . . .the literary scholar will gain much from the interesting analyses of the historical documentary evidence." - Speculum

"This collection really is marvelous. The Legend of Charlemagne in the Middle Ages is an unusually coherent and useful collection. The articles speak to and build on each other in ways one rarely finds. Best of all, they teach you something you hadn t realized and make you wonder how you could ever have thought you knew the Middle Ages without it." - Geoffrey Koziol, Professor of History, University of California, Berkeley

"Like Bill Clinton s, Charlemagne s reputation was tarnished at the end of his reign by allegations of moral impropriety, but was quickly rehabilitated in part because of his successor s stumbles. It was fully recuperated in ways that idealized the Frankish king and emperor as the paradigm of governance, the prototypal Crusader who had re-conquered Spain from Moslem marauders, the steward of salvation, a pilgrim (though he never went to the East as later texts had him do), and the preserver of relics. Through a close reading of the medieval accounts and analysis of artistic representations, the essays in this volume trace the emergence of these several different Charlemagnes. In so doing, they demonstrate how successive contemporary needs, far more than historical facts, determined the image of the great ruler that emerged during course of the Middle Ages." - Herbert Kessler, Professor of the History of Art, Johns Hopkins University

"Jonathan Crane's re-imagining of law and ethics within the Jewish narrative tradition offers a thoughtful and scholarly reflection on the reception and use of the text for bioethics, deepening the conversation about the primacy of narrative not just for the Jewish tradition, but for bioethics as a whole. Our field will be enriched by Crane's creativity and insight." - Laurie Zoloth, McCormick Professor 2009, Religious Studies, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, Professor of Medical Humanities and Bioethics, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, USA, Affiliated Professor, Haifa University, Israel

"Crane provides a comprehensive and carefully argued exploration of one of the central narrative texts for Jewish bioethics. Narratives and Jewish Bioethics critiques the prevalent ways of reading Jewish narratives as limited and limiting, and also proposes a way to retrieve these ancient texts and place them again at the center of Jewish bioethical discourse. Crane's scholarship is both original and illuminating." - Louis E. Newman, John M. and Elizabeth Musser Professor of Religious Studies, Carleton College, USA

Narratives and Jewish Bioethics

"This book is a pioneering effort in its comparative approach, as it looks at both Latin American and US examples. For this reason it fills a void in this particular area of socio-economic segregation studies." - Perry Mars, Professor of Africana Studies, Wayne State University

"This book isa"must read"for anyone withaserious interest in addressing critical social policy in the context of the challenges posed by the idiosyncrasies of the Latin American urbanization process. Combining new techniques of analysis, improved data sources and a comprehensive theoretical base (not commonly found in the existing literature)with a creative inversion of the conventional line of argument, the book provides a fresh lookat the role of segregation patterns on key themes of the region's social policy agenda,such as urban poverty and access to servicesincluding education and health.No doubt,this isa book that fills a critical void between land use and planning and public governance in the current Latin American urban policy debate." - Martim Oscar Smolka, Senior Fellow and Director of the Latin America and the Caribbean Program, Lincoln Institute of Land Policy

"This edited volume is an invaluable resource to students and scholars interested in urban studies, policy, and planning. While the literature on U.S. cities has focused on racial segregation, the book offersimportant lessons about urbanization and socioeconomic inequality byexamining the magnitude and nature of class segregation in LatinAmerican cities. The cross-national comparison yields theoretical and practical insights about the
role of the market and state in structuring urban space, and theconsequences of spatial patterns on inequality. At the same time, the chaptersreveal a fundamental tendency for socioeconomic segregation within urban society and the adverse impact on the distribution of and accessto resources and phenomena that U.S. cities and Latin American citiesshare." - Paul Ong, Professor at the School of Public Affairs, UCLA

Urban Segregation and Governance in the Americas

"This is not the first account of how the Satanic Verses affair came about, but it is by far the most wide-ranging and best informed. It also includes equally authoritative accounts of numerous subsequent incidents such as the murder of the Dutch film-maker Theo van Gogh and the Danish cartoons controversy, which, it is convincingly argued here, need to be seen as ramifications of the Salman Rushdie case. But this is far more than simply a recital of the facts, richly detailed and highly informative though it most certainly is in this respect. For what we also have here is a resounding defence of the principles of free expression, not in the debased, self-interested and ill-informed manner in which the British press habitually defends its 'right' to do as it damn well pleases, but in highly sophisticated philosophical terms. This is a key contribution to the debate not only on the right to free expression, including the right to offend, but on media freedom in general in the post-Leveson era." - Julian Petley, Brunel University, UK
