"One of the most comprehensive set of essays on the Atlantic World the field has seen to date, this volume assembles an impressive lineup of international and interdisciplinary scholars to shed genuinely new light on old topics and to encourage an enlarged sense of the Atlantic World’s reach. With innovative chapters on animals and the ecology, the Pacific, southern Africa, political economy, finance, and religion (in addition to many more rich topics) this volume showcases the next generation of Atlantic World research and gets us closer to the "Atlantic and the World" inclusivity some scholars have called for." 
Linford D. Fisher, Brown University, USA
"The virtue of this volume is the ambitiousness of its approach and the diversity of its chapters, both geographically and thematically. A worthy edition to any Atlanticist’s already groaning bookshelf!"
David Ceri Jones, Aberystwyth University, UK 
"Editors Coffman, Leonard, and O’Reilly provide an extensive, captivating, and valuable overview of the Atlantic World. The large areas of coverage and thematic organization allow the book to be employed in a variety of undergraduate courses as a required text capable of generating discussion and research questions. Summing Up: Recommended."J. Rankin, East Tennessee State Universityin CHOICE

A Squash and a Squeeze

'A timely, vital, and passionate challenge to the institutions of media teaching, this book argues that many tenets of cultural studies have all-too-often gone missing here. Focusing on today's media students and their favoured texts, technologies, and fandoms, the authors inspire a people-centred rather than text-centred approach. The end result? You might just think differently about media studies after After the Media.' – Matt Hills, Cardiff University, UK
‘…the content may be weighty and the arguments academic but it is also very readable, being enlivened with apt and entertaining quotations from both poets and theorists…what is most impressive is the mix of erudition and enthusiasm, the view of change as opportunity, as liberation not threat, the focus on people and students. That is what makes After the Media an inspirational book.’ – Media Education Journal, Liz Roberts
‘The book deconstructs systematically the major concepts usually taken for granted in media studies… After the Media is a mash up of both, theories and conditions, in one single volume. And this makes it recommendable for any reader who does not feel comfortable with the old theories of media literacy and media effects under the current conditions of remixed popular self-produced culturescapes – in particular, those who always wanted to know a little more about media culture and never dared to ask.’ – International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics, Joan Ramon Rodriguez-Amat

'This is an exciting and innovative book. Blaney and Inayatullah draw on the rich tradition of classical political economy to construct critical theoretical ways of refusing misleading choices between modern and savage, economy and culture, capitalism and anti-capitalism in the analysis of contemporary international political economy. The book is a profound and thought-provoking contribution to postcolonial, time-travelling thinking in IR/IPE.' - Kim Hutchings, Professor of International Relations, London School of Economics, UK

'In a provocative and brilliantly executed argument, Inayatullah and Blaney mobilize their postcolonial and ethnographic sensibilities in order to radically rethink the core concerns of - and solutions posited by - the classical political economy thinkers. After reading this seminal book no one will be able to doubt the intellectual and ethical urgency of building a cultural political economy approach.' - Robbie Shilliam, Political Science and International Relations Programme, Victoria University of Wellington

'Few people are able as well as Blaney and Inayatullah to connect important, pressing questions about the effects of capitalism – particularly poverty, inequality and violence - with a brilliant and sophisticated investigation of the ideas on which modern capitalism was founded and justified. Savage Economics is a tour de force in exposing the banality of much contemporary economic thought, and in reconnecting us to the ambivalence that its 18th and 19th century forebears had towards the world they saw unfolding and that we still live in.' - Matthew Paterson, University of Ottawa

'For too long the field of political economy has been dominated by technocratic analyses of market equilibria and inchoate rants about the evils of capitalist oppression. Inayatullah and Blaney's book suggests a profound reorientation of the entire discussion away from both minutia and sweeping generalization, and towards the kind of close reading that can generate a potent form of immanent critique. Their incisive discussion of some of the tradition's key texts discloses resources for ethical and political reflection that have been long obscured by the dominant mainstream reading of authors like Smith and Marx; our past is brought into dialogue with our present in a way that cannot help but dislocate the supposedly eternal verities of modern-day economics. This should be required reading for everyone who produces or consumes, especially for those producing and consuming political-economic knowledge.' - Patrick Thaddeus Jackson, Associate Professor, American University; author of Civilizing the Enemy (2006) and The Conduct of Inquiry in International Relations (2010)

"The Spirit of the Sixties is a moving and beautifully written analysis of how...the personal became political." -- American Studies"Farrell covers a lot of ground and covers it well..." -- Social Anarchism"The Spirit of the Sixties is an important and unique addition to the historiography of the sixties. Farrell has produced a well-written, cogently argued, and insightful volume on that puzzling, pyrotechnic decade." -- Journal of American History"...original and compelling historical work. For anyone who wants to think hard about the meaning and practice of a politically engaged, morally-driven life, Farrell's elegantly written account of postwar radicalism will be a rewarding experience." -- American Quarterly"Of the many recent studies of social movements in the 1960s, James Farrell's is among the most insightful, original, and important." -- W. J. Rorabaugh, University of Washington, for H-Net Book Review"Because of its range as well as its illuminating motif, the book would be very useful in a number of college-level courses on twentieth-century America." -- Dale A. Johnson, Vanderbuilt University, in Religious Studies Review, April 2002"...this work remains an important and thought-provoking contribution to existing literature on the sixties." -- Michigan Historical Review

‘This study is distinctive in being grounded in a wide array of empirically well documented case studies. It integrates in a convincing explanation multiple causal factors, illustrating the specific interaction of the local, national and supra-national determinants of right wing extremism and its manifestations.’
Carlo Ruzza, Professor of Political Sociology, University of Leicester, UK.
‘This is the most interesting and comprehensive collection of articles on the radical right to appear in many years. The authors, from Europe, the United States, Mexico, Turkey and Canada, include scholars who have been writing on this subject for many years, as well as a group of new and clearly talented young scholars. These excellent contributions could not be timelier.’
Martin A. Schain, Professor of Politics, New York University, USA.

Cast in terms of its embeddedness in two successive ‘constellations’ of economic, political and socio-cultural power (the first driven by Northeast Asia, the second by China), the chapters of this volume contain materials, ideas and arguments vital to rethinking Southeast Asia’s global significance. For anyone seeking cutting-edge knowledge about contemporary Southeast Asian development – including both the opportunities and dangers inherent in its future prospects – this is the book you need.

Jeffrey Henderson, University of Bristol 

This volume contains gems on East Asian economies including China as well as for those interested in comparative analysis. Nederveen Pieterse, Rahman and Tham have provided editorial coherence to the chapters which reflect on the region’s miracle, debacle, trajectories and options for the future.

Jomo Kwame Sundaram, former economics professor, UN Assistant Secretary General, 2007 Wassily Leontief Prize for Advancing the Frontiers of Economic Thought　
This is a most enlightening book about contemporary Southeast Asia. Readers will profit immensely from the useful comparisons between ASEAN and Northeast Asia, thoughtful analyses of the role of domestic institutions on socio-economic performance, and insightful projections of future China-ASEAN relations. I am proud that scholarship on Southeast Asia has advanced so impressively.
