Medusa and the Devil

In many parts of the world it has become a commonplace to decry young people’s lack of political engagement, and especially to lament the decline of student-led political and social movements. Student Politics and Protest offers a most welcome insight into the presence, vibrancy and impact of contemporary student politics around the globe, and shows how higher education participation, policy and associational life profoundly shape young people as political actors today. Brooks’ outstanding collection is just the conversation changer we need in the debate about youth politics.

Student Politics and Protest brings together research from 19 countries to provide an extraordinarily rich reflection of how politics is enacted by students across the globe today. Each contribution is rooted in original empirical research – covering participation in formal organisations such as students’ unions through to informal activism in mass campaigns and protest movements – while the editor’s illuminating concluding reflections provide fresh insight into the commonalities and differences in student activism across both space and time. 

Professor Hilary Pilkington, School of Social Sciences, University of Manchester, UK

　
Student Politics and Protest provides a much-needed analysis of the ways in which higher education students have engaged politically over the past few years. By drawing on a wide variety of empirical examples from across the world, it explores the different ways in which students have mobilised, the causes they have championed and how wider society has responded to their actions. It is an important and engaging text for scholars of contemporary higher education.

Professor Claire Callender, Birkbeck and UCL-Institute of Education, University of London, UK

　
While most important in providing activists as well as ideas for contentious politics, student movements have rarely been studied. Proposing innovative theoretical frameworks and covering a broad range of empirical cases of contemporary protests in institutions of higher education, this important volume contributes to our knowledge on politics and policies in times of austerity.

This book is an ambitious attempt to correct political theory that aims to "overcome" politics by subordinating it to something else, like moral theory. Instead, Wiley suggests that the accounts of "the political" offered by a number of theorists, including Weber, Wolin, and Mouffe, show how to articulate a "politics-centered" political theory. These theorists together present multiple conceptions of "the political" based in either the state, the polis, or society, and each account allows for a non-subordinate relationship between politics and ethics or philosophy. (Wiley identifies these relationships as"asymmetrical," but does not get much mileage out of the term.) By "putting politics back in" to political theory, Wiley generates a number of wide-ranging practical implications, from countering International Relations theorists' myopic focus on the state to cataloging 19th-century populism's move from an economic to a political perspective on the economy. Theorists and political scientists alike may quibble with these kind of arguments in the book—and there are many of them—but overall, Wiley presents an important model of how to connect political theory to the rest of the discipline. Put another way, the book may not have much to offer social scientists uninterested in high-level theorizing, but is essential reading for political theorists.– Summing Up: Essential.

'Peter Mahon's book is both timely and original, with a good sense of the vital significance of literature in Irish history. It is a trenchant scholarly intervention but will also interest a wide range of readers in both Ireland and Britain. I expect the book to become a model of the analysis of the cultural effects of political violence.' - Luke Thurston, Department of English& Creative Writing, Aberystwyth University, UK

Taylor’s well-written guide to Foucault’s History of Sexuality promises to become a welcome companion for students delving into Foucault’s influential text, as it provides historical context and clarifies points of reference that may require some explanation and background for the new reader of Foucault.Claudia Schippert, University of Central Florida, USA
In this invaluable guide to Foucault’s History of Sexuality Volume 1, Taylor offers a lucid explication of one of the most consistently misread books of our time. Without sacrificing nuance or depth, Taylor frames Foucault’s History of Sexuality within the history of eugenics. This text will be especially illuminating for students who have looked to Foucault for a theory of sexual liberation. The chapters on Foucault’s uptake by feminists and queer theorists are a tour de force! Highly recommended for beginners and experts alike. Lynne Huffer, Emory University, USA
