Tear Down the Wall

'Saving More Than Seeds is so much more than about seeds and seed saving. Phillips’ captivating account of the competing relational materialities that lie at the site of food production informs not only our understanding of what we eat but teaches us something important about ourselves.’   Michael S. Carolan, Colorado State University, USA  ’Saving More Than Seeds is a remarkable book. It lives up to its title: through the optic of a seed, Catherine Phillips opens worlds of practices, conflicts, and meaning. She reveals the tough business of corporate seed mongering as well as the convivial networks of individuals dedicated to saving bio-diversities of plant and human lives. Phillips writes with ease across the uneven terrain of new geographical theories, the political economics of seeds, and the worlds where seeds themselves still matter.’  Elspeth Probyn, University of Sydney, Australia and author of Oceanic Entanglements  '...a welcome and important addition to the literature on the modern seed industry and food movements...Phillips covers her topic in depth, producing a thoroughly researched, well written, and well structured work.' Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development

"Few in Europe doubt that climate change represents a significant global challenge. But less obvious is the extent to which climate change has become both a subject and tool of global diplomacy in recent years. In this excellent and well-researched book, Ingrid Boas sheds light on how small island and European states - notably the UK - have constructed climate change as a security threat, and their unsuccessful efforts to persuade major emerging developing countries - notably India - that this threat is significant. Her analysis tells us much about the misunderstandings and mistrust that beset international diplomacy in the 21st century."—Professor Richard Black, SOAS, University of London
"Threats of ‘climate wars’ and floods of ‘climate refugees’ have been central in the climate-change discourse for years, especially in the richer countries in the North. But does such ‘securitisation’ of climate policy really help? Who pushes discourses of ‘environmental security’, and who benefits? Ingrid Boas’ outstanding analysis reveals in great detail the complex politics around recent attempts at a ‘securitisation’ of climate politics. Her book is a must-read for scholars as well as policy-makers in this field, who will find in this remarkable study an important insight: ‘Scare stories’ are not the best means to convince an already skeptical audience."—Frank Biermann, VU University Amsterdam and Lund University

&ldquo;Seamlessly weaves the personal and political work that went into envisioning, planning, funding, building, and opening the museum.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal, starred review "Like the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History itself, its inaugural director&rsquo;s memoir tells a challenging and ultimately inspiring story of struggle, perseverence, and uplift." --Booklist&#160;  &ldquo;One reads here a great historian reaching for the nitty gritty and the mountain tops of American history in ways that end much better than Albion Tourg&eacute;e&rsquo;s &lsquo;fool&rsquo;s errand.&rsquo;&rdquo; &mdash;David W.

This important and perceptive book is a major contribution to our understanding of the politics of black ethnic diversity. Greer skillfully mines data from a rare New York City survey as well as national polls to generate a series of nuanced political profiles of African Americans, Afro-Caribbean immigrants, and African immigrants. While revealing what is politically distinctive about each of these groups, she also identifies areas of political convergence and
conflict among them. The result is an empirically rich and theoretically insightful account of the complexities of contemporary black politics and the challenges all blacks continue face in their pursuit of the American Dream.

'The great New England philosopher and theologian would not fail to have been impressed by Oliver Crisp's philosophical engagement with a central theme of his thought. Crisp's sympathetic treatment of Edwards's concept of sin is thorough, insightful and scrupulously fair.Â  A book of the highest standard which will be of great interest to any philosophical theologian.'  Paul Helm, Professor Emeritus of the History and Philosophy of Religion, King's College, London and J. I. Packer Professor of Philosophy and Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, Canada  ’Crisp's meticulous investigation of this topic has considerable significance for current interest in analytic philosophical theology and the continuously growing body of literature on the theology of Jonathan Edwards. ...Crisp's short book will challenge readers from virtually any disciplinary perspective to look far more carefully at what Edwards actually said than they are likely to have done. This is a worthy achievemnet in 146 pages.... scholars, and certainly this reviewer, are in Crisp's debt for his challenging investigation of the issues at stake.’ Religious Studies

'This is a very interesting book that will be of use to scholars in various disciplines. It has been handsomely produced with the inclusion of 13 plates of some of the images discussed by the author... Anne Simon’s work can be recommended as an excellent means of gaining insights into many aspects of lived religiosity in one of the most prominent cities of late-medieval Germany.'  Reviews in History  'Anne Simon’s book is a case study in how texts and images depicting a saint can be mapped onto the structure of a city to demonstrate the rich levels of resonance and meaning within devotional practices.'

&ldquo;When a cuddly Canadian comes to call, Yaichi&mdash;a single Japanese dad&mdash;is forced to confront his painful past. With his young daughter Kana leading the way, he gradually rethinks his assumptions about what makes a family. Renowned manga artist Gengoroh Tagame turns his stunning draftsmanship to a story very different from his customary fare, to delightful and heartwarming effect.&rdquo;&mdash;Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home&ldquo;Heartbreaking yet hopeful, Gengoroh Tagame&rsquo;s beautifully rendered meditation on the struggle for gay acceptance in today&rsquo;s Japan is quietly dazzling. I am already looking forward to part two!&rdquo;&mdash;Anderson Cooper, CNN&ldquo;The art is crisp, and the characters&rsquo; faces expressive, allowing the reader to see their hurt, confusion, and relief . . . A sensitive exploration of the transition some families go through when a family member comes out and a possible entry point for those needing to start conversations of their own.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist [starred review]&ldquo;The story provides a very interesting look at Japanese society through Yaichi&rsquo;s struggle to come to terms with his brother&rsquo;s sexuality, revealing some of the struggles the Japanese gay community faces at the same time . . . One of the most notable things about Tagame&rsquo;s artwork is just how vastly different it is from nearly anything I&rsquo;ve seen before. Not necessarily in terms of character designs, or settings, but in terms of the gaze itself. It&rsquo;s fascinating to see the male body portrayed through the gaze of a gay male creator . . . There&rsquo;s a softness and warmth to My Brother&rsquo;s Husbandthat makes it incredibly easy to get into . . . there&rsquo;s a strong sense of heart, honesty and earnestness.&rdquo; &mdash;Sequential Ink&ldquo;Refreshing. Transporting. Clever. Inspiring. If these are qualities that help books rise to the top of your summer reading list, your new number one is My Brother&rsquo;s Husband . . . The story moves along quietly and gently, Tagame cleverly evoking parallels between mutual misperceptions of gays and straights, older and younger generations, Westerners and Japanese.&rdquo; &mdash;Passport Magazine&ldquo;Not only is My Brother&rsquo;s Husband very touching; it&rsquo;s also, for the non-Japanese reader, unexpectedly fascinating. Gay life remains largely closeted in Japan, and Tagame&rsquo;s complex but deftly told story seeks to examine the effect such secrecy has, not only on those who must live it, but also on their wider family relationships.&rdquo;&mdash;The Guardian (London)&#160; &ldquo;Gengoroh Tagame&rsquo;s beautiful manga novel My Brother&rsquo;s Husband disentangles family secrets and homophobia with endearing grace . . . Thoughtful and fetching, My Brother&rsquo;s Husband is an omnibus about grief, reconciliation and the strength to be who you are.&rdquo;&mdash;Shelf Awareness [starred review]&ldquo;My Brother&rsquo;s Husband focuses more on the uneasy relationship between Yaichi, a single father raising his daughter, Kana, and Mike Flanagan, who was married to Yaichi&rsquo;s recently deceased (and estranged) twin brother, Ryoji . . . There&rsquo;s something beautiful in the careful way that My Brother&rsquo;s Husband handles Yaichi&rsquo;s coming to terms with his feelings about his brother that&rsquo;s rarely seen in mainstream comics. Rather than treating the tension between Mike and Yaichi as a massively dramatic point on conflict, the book instead treats it like the complicated and messy holding pattern that it is . . . The message that Tagame&rsquo;s trying to get across&mdash;that quiet, subtle bigotry can be just as harmful as loud, bombastic bigotry&mdash;isn&rsquo;t always an easy one to process. Tagame understands that and hopefully, as the rest of the book unfolds, readers will too.&rdquo; &mdash;io9.com &ldquo;My Brother&rsquo;s Husband is focused on normalizing a gay relationship to those who are uncomfortable with the idea . . . there&rsquo;s an audience and a need for works like this . . . The storytelling is straightforward, easy to read, particularly for those who might be new to the medium. There are plenty of panels that establish detail, so the reader gets a feel for this small family&rsquo;s daily life . . . It&rsquo;s charming and provides hope for the future.&rdquo; &mdash;Comics Worth Reading &ldquo;This winsome look at culture clash compares the largely still-closeted Japanese gay culture with the West, underscoring a theme of universal yearning for family.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal&ldquo;Beautifully written and drawn&mdash;an eye-opening story about children and parents and how they affect each other. And I&rsquo;m 11 years old, so I should know!&rdquo; &mdash;Clara Ware
