Building a Business of Politics: The Rise of Political Consulting and the Transformation of American Democracy

Enlivening the Social and Collective Unconscious in a Time of Urgency

America's Psychological Now

"This is a moving and courageous intersubjective account of a therapeutic journey. Both parties come through vividly in this authentic narrative, Diana in her reflections on the process and the client most notably through her letters, extracts of which are quoted in the text. I see this as an interesting navigation of a complex therapeutic process which proves to be transformative for the therapist and the client. I highly recommend this book which will prove of interest to beginning and experienced therapists coming from different orientations."-Professor Maria Gilbert, Faculty Head of Applied Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling, Metanoia Institute,London.
"Many books stop where this one begins: clearly expressing the many facets and phases, involved in an in-depth psychotherapy, the author offers an honest account of a challenging, painful and hopeful therapeutic journey. Locating the work within a relational framework with psychoanalytic supervision as central, the author describes how she gradually moved from a more traditional reparative form of therapy into a relational one. Remaining philosophical about her client’s belief in the important platform that the "corrective emotional experience" initially provided her,Shmukler, like many relational psychotherapists welcomes the additional depth and understanding that relational methodologies provide for working with and transforming primitive emotional states."-Heather Fowlie, Programme Leader of Relational Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy training and Faculty Head of Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling at Metanoia Institute,London.
"A courageous, deeply personal account of a psychotherapy that went from enactment to transformation. The story is told by the therapist and her client, with the containing murmur of the supervisor in the background. Clinical reflections thread throughout the narrative and the theoretical dimension is elegantly discussed in the final chapter. The book will be interesting and useful for any psychotherapist but for a transactional analyst it is particularly exciting: it forges an evolutionary path in TA’s methodology, from responding to relational need and working cognitively with the transference, to working in the transference – so that the effects of developmental trauma can emerge, be experienced and worked through within a real adult here-and-now relationship. What a gift. I read it at one sitting."-Professor Charlotte Sills-integrative psychotherapist and relational transactional analyst.

“I highly recommend the book for courses and projects dealing with political transformation processes in southeastern Europe, but also more broadly with the anthropology of ethno-nationalism and identity as well as collective memory studies in contexts of war, violence, and trauma.” • Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute

	“We get a deep insight into rural Dalmatia and learn about its inhabitants’ stories from many different perspectives thanks to the author’s thick descriptions and detailed analyses…It is a story that enables us to ‘zoom out’ well beyond Croatia and reflect on people’s manifold ways of narrating and dignifying their lives and our own role as scholars in accounting on them.” • Sociologus

	“The book opens with a vivid description of how Michaela Schäuble, the author, and Marko, one of her interlocutors, gazed at the scenery of the central Dalmatian hinterland, in Croatia, through a telescope. Subtly inviting the readers to join, the prose in this book makes it clear that Schäuble is both an anthropologist and a filmmaker. Reading her rich ethnographic descriptions of Dalmatia, a rural, impoverished, marginal region in Croatia, characterised by ‘a stony, infertile soil and heavily fragmented landholdings’, often feels like following a camera’s movement through a scene.” • Anthropological Notebooks

	“This volume seduces primarily through its rich [and historically informed] ethnography. Other strong points of the book is not only a thorough examination of the anthropological literature and its neighboring fields, but the fact that the author’s interpretations and analyses contribute to a more nuanced, actualized, and critical approach to the existing works…Apart from offering stimulating reading and a quality contribution to Balkan Studies, this book can also, one hopes, inspire a fruitful dialogue between the latter and Mediterranean Studies.“ • Journal of the Swiss Anthropological Association

	“This excellent book should inform and stimulate further research on the region, on masculinities, on state building, and on right-wing politics.” • Südosteuropa

	“The narratives of victimhood expressed in forms that Michaela Schäuble’s sensitive ethnography traces through festivals, protests, and pilgrimages in the Sinj area combine claims about present-day and historical collective suffering into an overarching account of the systematic persecution of the narrator’s nation (in this case, the Croats).” • Slavic Review

	“Schäuble delivers a well rounded account of the Dalmatian hinterland…[that] highlights Croatia’s multifaceted culture and its struggle to find a unified identity, an identity that is able to represent the country beyond its borders.” • Gender Forum

	“…the book deserves to be widely read, because it is a fascinating account of the nationalist and highly regionalist stances found in post-war Croatia.” • Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale

	“In the broader context of post-war Croatia, Schäuble shows in a remarkable way what key role the interpretation of the “Homeland War” of the 1990s plays in the identity building processes around those mass events.” • Nationalities Papers: The Journal of Nationalism and Ethnicity

	“[This book] is scholarly, very well researched, and contains some fascinating original ethnographic material that is handled with imagination and sensitivity.” • Frances Pine, Goldsmiths, University of London

	“This is a truly excellent study. From the first to the last page, I was impressed by its thoughtfulness, level of scholarship, and ethnographic thoroughness…She succeeds in making this unstudied place come alive in her ethnography while simultaneously making her rich ethnographic detail serve as a lever for a highly sophisticated analysis of a cluster of issues that are both of contemporary political relevance and of theoretical significance.” • Marko Zivkovic, University of Alberta

"Reflective of broader patterns within criminology as a field, research on women as victims and perpetrators of state crime has existed in the periphery. This volume is one step towards filling that gap, as Collins skillfully combines feminist and state crime research to examine the role women play in the broader political processes of state criminality, harms, and violence, as well as women’s victimization within a broad unequal system dominated by patriarchy and neoliberalism."- Dawn L. Rothe, Professor of Criminology, Old Dominion University, USA
"This lively and highly readable book is the first comprehensive account of sex, gender and state crime.　Collins demonstrates the sharp end of victimisation for women during conflict and 'peacetime'. She also raises big questions about　women's direct participation and　collusion in state-sanctioned patriarchal violence,　as well as their　vehement　resistance to it. While a necessary addition to the state crime literature, this text is essential reading for anyone interested in gender, crime and criminal justice issues". - Elizabeth Stanley, Reader, School of Social and Cultural Studies, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand."This path-breaking monograph is theoretically rich and is an excellent resource for those seeking realistic solutions to acts of gender-based violence committed by state institutions. Furthermore, her definition of state crime moves well beyond narrow legalistic conceptualizations and encompasses both direct and in-direct types of state-perpetrated gender-based violence, which is another one of Collins’ most important contributions to the field." - Walter S. DeKeseredy, West Virginia University, Choice Review
"Victoria Collins’ book, State Crime, Women and Gender, makes a much needed and long overdue contribution to the study of state crime…. Accessible to students and scholars alike, (it) provides an essential introduction to the complex and multifaceted relationship between state criminality and gender. Laying a solid foundation for future research, Collins’ work is a necessary first step towards forging a more integrated understanding of women and gender within the field of state crime." - -Elizabeth A. Bradshaw, Central Michigan University, Critical Criminology

This is a wide-ranging, intelligent and politically-engaged study that refocuses our attention on exactly what it is we do, and should be doing, when we study literature and culture.' - Dr Mark Turner, King's College, University of London, UK

“The volume displays in exemplary fashion the entire spectrum of this dissident world; it would be great to see such well structured edited volumes like this one more often.” • Archiv für Sozialgeschichte

	“[The editors] present a wide-ranging array of case studies of unofficial and oppositional media across the socialist bloc, which enrich the growing literature on samizdat while providing one of the first detailed accounts of tamizdat. Many chapters reconstruct the complex networks via which these media circulated to East European domestic audiences and, more important, to the transnational community that could offer theoretical and practical support for dissent outside the host countries. They evoke an almost infinite variety in the type and scale of such media circulation.” • Kritika: Explorations in Russian and Eurasian History 

	“These case studies will be invaluable to researchers seeking innovative approaches to the study of dissent, or those teaching courses on the subject who want to add something new and thought provoking to their syllabi.” • Russian Journal of Communication

	"The volume is enlightening and innovative in many respects and deserves attention beyond the circles of regional specialists. Challenging received notions about the self-enclosed nature of communication and culture in Communistruled Central and Eastern Europe, contributions to the volume highlight the importance of transnational information flows within the region and across the Cold War divide." • European Journal of Communication

	“Samizdat, Tamizdat, and Beyond offers a long-awaited rethinking of dissent at the grassroots level. Looking primarily but not exclusively to the Eastern Bloc, this volume skillfully stretches our understanding of samizdat to incorporate visual art, music, video, and the web. The editors bring together seemingly disparate samizdat ‘texts’ by placing them within the larger context of transnationalism, gender, and mass media. In so doing, they remind us that dissent is, first and foremost, a creative human endeavor, one that not only has a history but also a future.” • Paulina Bren, Vassar College

	“The information and insights contained in this volume fill the gap in our knowledge about the vitality, diversity, and ongoing relevance of samizdat/tamizdat and alternative media not only in the post-Communist states represented here, but in emerging democracies in other regions of the world, e.g. the Middle East and Asia.” • Michael Long, Baylor University

	“This is a challenging and thoughtful work, one that rewards reading and study.” • East Central Europe

	“This publication is to be welcomed as a valuable contribution to the social history of Central European workers during World War I. This intensification of the pressures on wage-workers in the cities and large factories of wartime Bohemia, the most industrially advanced region of the Habsburg Empire, is vividly analysed, and the writer’s theses may stimulate some rethinking of both World War I’s challenges to organised labour and to the evolution of regimes of labour control in the early twentieth century.” • Labour History

	“Rudolf Kučera’s work is a remarkable step toward a more complete assessment of the war effort in Central Europe, and he presents a well-written and multifaceted social history of the Bohemian Lands during World War I… This compelling social history (in the best sense of the term) of the Bohemian Lands during World War I is a must-read on the subject and opens the field for a broader reassessment of life in the late Habsburg Empire.” • Austrian History Yearbook

	“Among the numerous publications on the occasion of the centenary of the First World War Rudolf Kučera’s book stands out as being particularly interesting…[It is] very well written…and offers a very welcome contribution to the current debate on theory in Czech historiography. He presents new topics and introduces new concepts.” • Bohemia

	“This book is a major achievement. It is the first book in English on the First World War in the Bohemian lands, and it will set the standard for all future scholarship in this field.” • Journal of Modern History

	“His book offers an exciting, if provisional, rethinking of wartime labor history in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.” • American Historical Review

	“The book offers a new way to look at the working class, mainly from the perspective of consumption, gender relations, and the worker’s place in the production process, while science and rationalization are largely discussed outside the frameworks of theory and scarcity, showing how it related to the war economy’s needs and affected the workers subjected to it. Eventually, Kučera excellently demonstrates how the war radically changed the Bohemian working class, thereby providing a solid background for the understanding of inter-war Czechoslovak working-class politics.” • European Review of History: Revue européenne d'histoire

	“…the insightful vision of urban industrial workers’ experience and the powerful argumentation offered by Kuĉera’s book make it necessary reading for anyone interested in the economic, social, and political changes on the Austro-Hungarian home front during World War I.” • History: Reviews of New Books

	“The book is a strong and much needed intervention into the historiography on the home front of the First World War in the Habsburg Empire and in East-Central Europe more broadly…a significant contribution to the historiography of the working class in the Bohemian lands… and the discussion of gender…Given its significant contributions, [Kucera’s} book is an essential read for anyone interested in the social history of the war, the history of the working classes in Central Europe, and the war’s effects on gender relations.” • Gender and Research

	“This is an important contribution to our understanding of working-class life in central Europe during the First World War. Kučera convincingly shows that class mattered, if not in the way that actors at the time believed.” • Jakub Beneš, University College, Oxford

	“Rationed Life draws upon an impressive array of primary sources while displaying a truly remarkable familiarity with a wide range of secondary sources published in Czech, German, and English. This is an original and thought-provoking book that challenges us to rethink the experience of World War I in Bohemia, and beyond.” • Chad Bryant, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
