To Wrest Our Bodies From the Fire

’Feminist IR scholarship posits that much can be learnt from studying those actors seemingly most marginal to the high politics of war and security. Children born of wartime conflict symbolize both the complexity of conflict and the suffering that is engendered by conflict - and that is ongoing. International relations and human rights researchers and advocates have documented the pervasive use of sexual violence as a tactic of conflict but they have omitted to make visible the children who are born from this wartime rape. In this fascinating and compelling study, Donna Seto brings these missing children into our accounts of international relations, violence, and postconflict. In so doing, she models the responsibility of the scholar to attend to the exclusion and marginalization of subjects through research and critical analysis.’ Jacqui True, Monash University, Australia  'Through feminist and post-structural perspectives, No Place for a War Baby opens up a new space for studies on children born of wartime sex violence. This book is a pioneering work that deserves a wide readership, especially among academics, students, policy-makers and activists who are interested in international conflicts, feminism theories and human rights.'  The Round Table  '... more than most books on gender and international relations, this one will well serve a broad readership. For scholars, it will fill a gap in IR analysis generally and feminist IR work (where it will be most relevant) specifically. It outlines critical conceptual, theoretical, and empirical problems, while alerting scholars that traditional accounts of global politics routinely overlook children born of war rape. For policy makers, the book’s careful revelation of problems in children’s rights policy provides a good basis for reevaluating gender inequities in conflict mitigation and post-conflict reconstruction.' Michigan War Studies Review  'This book offers a significant review of the research evidenc

"The volume provides fodder to consider graffiti in one’s everyday environment, as a guide to students and scholars exploring graffiti. In this sense, the editors have achieved what they set out to do, that is, provide an easily accessible, theoretically grounded text, appropriate to utilize in undergraduate classrooms."— David Fazzino, Anthropology News (American Anthropological Association)

’China’s intervention behavior has been a puzzle because of the apparent inconsistency. This book adopts a cultural approach and offers a convincing explanation by highlighting the concept of balance of relationship. It includes illustrative cases to show the underlying consistency despite the apparent inconsistency. Foregrounding cultural background knowledge, it is a valuable achievement in the study of world politics.’ Qin Yaqing, China Foreign Affairs University  ’This book introduces a cultural/civilizational approach to explaining the dynamics of interplay between China’s rise and global governance. The key argument that China's quest for security is more centered on the balance of harmonious relations than national interest is sure to provoke realist critics. Given the importance of the issues discussed, this book is essential reading for students of Chinese foreign policy and international relations.’  Samuel S. Kim, Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University, USA

One of the book's particular strengths lies in its rich blend of conceptual thinking, practical examples and case studies - boiled down to the essentials. It offers valuable insights and an analytical framework to both students of corruption and those committed to fight it.

Bettina's approach to examining the relation between the new communication technology and organizations from the viewpoint of information-processing is both comprehensive and insightful...the book is well researched and the empirical findings of particular interest. All in all, this is a timely book that will no doubt contribute significantly to research in this area.' - Soumitra Dutta, The Roland Berger Chaired Professor of E-Business and IT, Dean of Technology and e-Learning, INSEAD

As someone who is undergoing the recovery process with many years lived experience of mental distress I have no doubt that this book demonstrates a profound and deep understanding of the person-centred recovery process and will in my opinion become a seminal read that puts forth evidenced-based research about the transformative power of peer support that challenges the medical model. The authors, Agnes Higgins and Mike Watts, along with the 26 co-authors, have produced a piece of work that will be a source of hope and inspiration for people with lived experience of mental illness and emotional distress, as it was for me.Eugene Egan, The Institute of Mental Health BlogRead the ful review: https://imhblog.wordpress.com/2017/09/08/book-review-narratives-of-recovery-from-mental-illness-the-role-of-peer-support-by-eugene-egan/
Reading these stories it strikes me that I have, indeed, been hopeful in my own way. Each turn I have deliberately taken in my life has involved new and exciting thoughts about the future. That’s a product of hope. Each life-change has also involved support from many other people. Mutual help is very much part of a healthy mental health process as outlined in the book.Padraig O'Morain, The Irish Times, November 5, 2017Read the full review: https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/health-family/narratives-of-hope-in-mental-illness-1.3275055

’An accessible and innovative study of the social world and ethos of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Britain. Critically evaluating the personal narratives of members - male and female - Wali identifies the radical pathways into the movement and its pattern of ideological indoctrination. The work is full of surprises, not least the extent to which it remains a middle class movement.’  Philip Lewis, University of Bradford, UK  ’Wali offers a probing scholarly account that draws sensitively on his own experience of once being an Hizb ut-Tahrir insider, and succeeds in uncovering the complex roots of this controversial strand among British Muslims. Thanks to this study ordinary readers and policy makers alike now have a much better understanding of why and how Hizb ut-Tahrir has appealed to some British Muslims, as well as the range of motivations underpinning their support for it.’ Humayun Ansari, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK  'This book fills an important gap in the academic literature on Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HT) in the United Kingdom. ... As a former member of HT, Farhaan Wali’s access is excellent, as is his reflexivity about his own positionality within the research. ... this is a significant contribution to knowledge and will appeal widely to scholars, students, and policy-makers.'

’This is a stimulating exploration of the immediate and long-term impact of Jane Jacobs’ efforts to resist large-scale urban renewal and highway plans for New York City. The book’s authors come from seven countries and offer perspectives from many disciplines, including both historians and individuals active in formulating current policies about urban design. They reveal how Jacobs’ ideas helped produce a transatlantic paradigm shift in urban planning.’  Jeffry Diefendorf, University of New Hampshire, USA  ’Neighborhood revitalization, historic preservation, mixed use dense neighborhoods, New Urbanism: Jane Jacobs is consistently and even increasingly referenced. But what are the concrete links to the journalist activist and eminent female voice in urban studies who helped end so-called slum clearance? Examining her work, its reception and meaning for contemporary practice locally and globally, the contributions in this book provide a much-needed nuanced trans-disciplinary and trans-national contextualization of her work and philosophy.’  Carola Hein, Bryn Mawr College, USA

"In this book Dirk vom Lehn provides a well-judged introduction to ethnomethodology (EM) and a fitting tribute to its late, great, progenitor Harold Garfinkel."— Sue White, University of Birmingham, UK, Qualitative Research
"This is an extremely lucid and likeable book, which I found a pleasure to read: vom Lehn’s writing style is light and he brings a sense of fun to engaging with conceptual work... Its popularity with students will make it popular with course directors, who can be assured that students receive a thorough introductory grounding in the material that will also lead them into the ‘essential’ texts."— Andrew P.

'... this is a meticulous book of the infanticidal actions of young women in England and Australia in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It demonstrates their desperation, their resistance, and in some cases their deaths against the social, political and legislative history of the day as reported by the press. This book will have particular appeal for crime news researchers, for those interested in the lives and stories of women, and for fans of Foucault.'  Pacific Journalism Review  ’Goc’s study provides many fascinating insights and her inclusion of case studies serves to illustrate the lives and experiences of the working-class women who became inserted into public, political and press discourse after killing their children.’  Crime, Media, Culture  'The real value of Goc's work is that she captures infanticide as an 'all-powerful' action - the decision that another being would live or die - carried out by predominantly marginalised and powerless people.' Australian Historical Studies  'Nicola Goc has made an important contribution to our knowledge of infanticide and its imbrication with patriarchal discourses, and to our understanding of the part played by the media in influencing attitudes and values and in creating meaning.' SHARP News  'The strength of this book is that it provides a legal, medical, patriarchal and historical context for this suffering that is detailed, thorough and couched in a clear and useful theoretical framework.'

'Well researched and written, the book will appeal to those interested in historical memory and how it affects contemporary politics. ... Recommended.' Choice  ’Anyone working within the fields of heritage and memory will be challenged to think again about the remembrance of war after reading this historically-informed and theoretically sophisticated volume. Elegantly written, it delivers a much-needed analysis of the ways in which the Great War is brought to mind in popular parlance, media discourse and wider cultural representations.' Emma Waterton, University of Western Sydney, Australia  ’In this thoroughly researched work, Wilson examines through verbal and visual frames -such as slangs, sayings, imagery, myths, monuments and museums - the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of the conflict within contemporary Britain and its powerful presence within public consciousness. This is an excellent read for anthropologists, heritage theorists and public historians.’ Kalliopi Fouseki, University College London, UK  ’This book is a major contribution to both heritage and memory studies, and offers a scholarly and nuanced examination of the uses of the material and intangible heritage of the Great War within Britain. The work offers an eclectic and novel analysis of the myriad ways in which the heritage and public memory of the War are mobilised to negotiate and legitimate cultural and social values, identity, emotions and particular readings of history and the past. As Wilson elegantly and convincingly demonstrates, the memory and heritage of the Great War is a dynamic cultural tool, employed to both uphold and challenge contemporary understandings of British citizenship and national and community identity. Although focusing on the War the book offers a theoretically sophisticated analysis of heritage, and the way it is used, that has relevance for critical debates within heritage, museum and memory studies.
