The Way of the Wild

“…a balanced and perceptive analysis…a superb monograph.”  ·  The Historian

	“…an interesting political application of the psychological tendency to overlook our own weaknesses even as we attribute them to someone else…This work has obvious value as an introductory text for student historians of France and Germany; its study of cultural identities and national myths also makes it pertinent to young scholars interested in the workings of international affairs. Instructors of modern European history courses, or French or German civilization courses will find this volume to be valuable background reading.”  ·  French Review

	"Michael Nolan's broad and deep learning, sharp thinking, and elegant style combine to make fresh and exciting reading out of what might have been thought to be a familiar tale of bygone mutual hostility between two peoples and cultures. He bears his erudition lightly, yet it blows through every portion of this fine work."  · Rudolph Binion, Brandeis University

	"This study shines by its elegance, erudition, and thoughtfulness ... It is a joy to read."  · Paul Jankowski, Brandeis University

	“The comprehensive study…is convincing not least because of its substantial sources.”  · Historische Zeitschrift

“Taken together, these [contributions] reveal that cosmopolitanism’s definitions and meanings only exist in the plural, that the formation of cosmopolitan ideas and communities is inevitably contingent and place-specific, and that the forces preaching exclusion and intolerance are often at least as powerful as those promoting cultural acceptance in a rapidly globalising world. I recommend it for the insights and case studies it offers, and it would be a useful text for courses concerned with globalisation and urbanism.”  ·  Urban Studies

	“The volume is a well-integrated collection of chapters, which explore new perspectives on urban life in post-Soviet Russian cities, addressing the themes of multiculturalism, socio-spatial divisions and competing claims to urban space. It will be of interest to Russian studies scholars, as well as to urban studies researchers within the disciplines of anthropology, sociology and human geography.”  ·  Cultural Analysis

	"In total, this volume provides accessible, interesting and detailed empirical studies and offers compelling insights into various aspects of urban cultural diversity as related to space and spatial practices. By focusing on Russian cities and incorporating many contributions from Russian researchers, it also adds a new perspective to our understanding of this region.”  ·  Anthropological Notebooks

	“[This] book makes it evident that space, place, and territory are factors to be taken seriously in any further exploration of the nation–building process, nationalism, the formation of national and urban identities, and the impact of globalization on cities. This theoretical insight, combined with the empirical analyses of numerous sites, processes, phenomena, and practices make [it] important and thought-provoking reading that needs to be considered not only for those focusing on Russia, but for Eastern Europe as well.”  ·  Social and Cultural Geography

"... [an] intriguing and compelling argument ... an impressive, scholarly and ambitious project of renaming, reoccupying, rewriting the socially constructed silences surrounding the Shoah experience ... [written in a] lucid, poetic, and accessible style."  · Women's Studies Review

	"I found this book utterly compelling. It is a moving testmony that stands on the cusp of what could be a very different Israeli society in the future."  · Nashim, A Journal of Jewish Women's Studies and Gender Issues

	"Offering a new and insightful perspective… an impressive, scholarly, and highly recommended contribution to Israeli and Judaic studies."  · The Midwest Book Review

	"An important book ... that raises several political questions worthy of discussion ... Although the study was written from a sociological point of view, it also includes a wide and well documented discussion of the historiography on the Shoah and its changing role within Israel during the last few decades."  · Gesher: Jewish Studies Journal

	"This book is the work of a brilliant and courageous scholar who dares to ask her own questions. Its narrative vision, born of ontological urgency is the product of a mature writer at home in her craft."  · Ruth Linden

“This is an extraordinary work of criticism—literary, cultural, political—but also of writing. It manages to weave together an almost journalistic directness and clarity with a philosophical-theoretical meditation of tingling complexity. Its appearance is an event of considerable importance and of great excitement, not simply because many of the essays in this volume are of enormous significance by themselves, but because the style and concerns of the book make it of interest to a broader reading public as well as academics.”—Thomas Keenan, Princeton University

"... the text's greatest strength [is] having compiled essays in history, political sciences, and gender studies. The diversity of the contributions is truly impressive ... a selection of very fine and engaging essays ...

The Writer's Journey

"[the authors] are refreshingly open about their lack of objectivity and bias towards the interests of the refugees, and Rights in Exile is stronger as a result, their clear identification with their subjects having produced some fascinating interview material, which forms the bulk of the book."�����JRAI

	"The greatest strength of Rights in Exile is clearly its combination of hard data accompanied by stinging critique... Rights in Exile should be read by scholars, advocates and policy analysts for its revealing look at the unsettling shortcomings of refugee protection services and the real-life consequences of encampment in two African states."����Journal of Refugee Law

	�

	"This book has a ... disregard for orthodoxies and sacred cows. It is harsh, for example, on the role of many NGOs in delivering assistance - and failing to protect the rights of refugees... More obviously, the UNHCR's reinterpretation of its own mandate - away from refugee protection, towards "humanitarian assistance" - is exposed as a betrayal of the whole purpose of the international refugee regime"����Richard Carver, Pambazuka News

	"Detailed, direct and at times passionate, this book should be required reading for anyone who wants to know what is really happening to refugee protection. It should also require a response." Mike Kagan, Journal of Refugee Studies

	"Brace yourself. This is a painful book. Not only is the information in it extremely distressing, the main targets of its critique are the 'good guys.' The central argument is that the international and humanitarian organisations that are in charge of looking after refugees are responsible for extensive and avoidable violations of the rights of those dependent upon them."

From the reviews:
"This volume resembles the volumes of Kluwer’s general encyclopedia of mathematics … . all the articles, have been freshly written for this book. This is a fully original work. … This material is fascinating … . S. Duplij, the leading editor of this encyclopedia, and his co-editors have done a monumental job … . There are 480 oversized pages of encyclopedia with more than 700 articles, and then an Author index, a Subject index of 31 four-column pages, and a list of 116 abbreviations." (P. D. F.

"With New Destination Dreaming, Helen B. Marrow has established herself as one of the most insightful and original scholars on the dispersion of the immigrant Latino population. By taking economic context, class configurations, and race relations seriously, Marrow shows how newcomers encounter both promise and peril in the Deep South."

"Meticulously researched and cogently argued, Narendra Subramanian's Nation and Family is a welcome corrective to simplications inherent in much postcolonial discourse on Indian secularism. It demonstrates that neither the persistence of colonial legal categories nor the alleged self-ghettoisation of religious minorities can explain postcolonial changes in personal law. In addition, it offers important comparative insights into relations among secularism, family law, and visions of national community in other postcolonial nation-states."
