The Whisperer in White

‘Provocative and most thought-provoking, with Zygmunt Bauman as their point of departure, the concepts of morality and immorality are taken to task in this string of scholarly contributions by a wide array of international scholars. A must-read for everyone interested in and concerned about immorality of our time.’ - Thomas Mathiesen, Professor Emeritus of Sociology of Law, University of Oslo, Norway

‘This important volume takes Zygmunt Bauman’s classic Modernity and the Holocaust as its starting-point, and innovatively applies it – by no means always uncritically – to the study of punishment and practices of exclusion.The authors, who include both established and emerging scholars, address a range of key topics such as imprisonment, immigration detention, and the social control of sex offenders, Roma and indigenous populations. Anyone interested in the sociology of contemporary social control will learn much from this fine collection of essays.’ - Anthony Bottoms, Emeritus Wolfson Professor of Criminology, Cambridge University, UK
"Punishing the Other will have broad appeal for criminologists, sociologists and scholars in related disciplines. It provides a helpful introduction for those encountering Bauman for the first time, as well as being a welcome contribution to the growing secondary literature on Bauman’s impressive oeuvre…. (It) is undoubtedly a significant contribution to the literature and a testament to the continued significance of Bauman’s ethical thought to contemporary critical analysis. As well as bringing together new case studies, Punishing the Other will stimulate wider debate and highlight the importance of questioning the moral legitimacy of othering and its penal implications." – David Scott, Liverpool John Moores University, British Journal of Criminology

"In this important book, Bruce Fink shows with characteristic elegance and thoughtfulness how Lacanian psychoanalysis is no mere intellectual abstraction but a real and powerful framework for clinical practice."
Darian Leader, Psychoanalyst, Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research, London, UK
"Bruce Fink provides us here with an impressive exploration of the Lacanian approach to psychoanalysis, in which the epistemic specificity of psychoanalysis starting with Freud is never forgotten. The clarity and the alertness of the style, the numerous and always instructive clinical cases, and the enlightening commentaries on difficult texts, provide easy access to the most complex and controversial topics: the effectiveness of speech, the pathways of interpretation, semblance, and the aims of treatment as regards desire, jouissance, love, violence, and even … men and women!"
Colette Soler, The Schoolof the Forums of the Lacanian Field, Paris, France
"Bruce Fink is arguably the foremost commentator and interpreter of Jacques Lacan’s work in the United States today, and the publication of a new set of commentaries and case vignettes by him foregrounding the principles of Lacanian practice is thus something of an event for practitioners in the field…Against Understanding provides us with perhaps the best practical sourcebook to Lacanian theory and practice that we currently have. It is often said of the good analyst that he or she knows how to keep the patient talking. The two volumes of Bruce Fink’s Against Understanding evince a different skill: they keep the reader reading."

"This is the first book to take up the transnational and cross-disciplinary politics of memory in ways adequate to the difficulties and pitfalls of the topic. In its readings of theoretical and literary texts primarily from the 1950s and 1960s, it confronts the Holocaust with decolonization, successfully questioning the 'color line' separating these two discourses today. Deft in argument and subtle in its analyses, Rothberg's book provides an exciting new direction for memory studies in the humanities and in social thought. A compelling read!"

I loved it, you will love it."&#160;&mdash;Daisy Johnson, author of&#160;Sisters&#160;and&#160;Booker Prize finalist&#160;Everything Under&#160;"Tiffany McDaniel has given us a vivid and haunting portrait of the writer as a young girl. Betty Carpenter survives the brutality of her childhood through her father's stories and his steadfast belief in her own. A novel of tragedy and trouble, poetry and power, not a story you will soon forget." &mdash;Karen Joy Fowler, New York Times bestselling author of The Jane Austen Book Club and the Man Booker Prize finalist We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves"I loved&#160;Betty: I fell for its strong characters and was moved by the story it portrayed. McDaniel deals with the passage of time with subtlety and skill and the descriptions of the rolling hills of Ohio were really beautiful."&#160;&mdash;Fiona Mozley, author of&#160;Booker Prize finalist&#160;Elmet&#160;"Magical, densely lyrical and often disturbing. Tiffany McDaniel follows in the tradition of The Color Purple with her unflinching portrayal of the generational ripples of racism, poverty, and abuse.

A triumph!&rdquo;&mdash;Stephanie Powell Watts, bestselling author of No One Is Coming to Save Us and We Are Taking Only What We Need"A painful, powerful, transcendent story . . . Tiffany McDaniel's distinctive, poetic prose lets us know at the outset that something unique is going on in these pages. Bit by bit, she draws us into her 'other world' with amazing skill; and, before we realize it, we are like wide-eyed children, enthralled as we once were, as we listened to a story from Grimm's Fairy Tales. Yet, this is no fairytale for children. Rather, it is an intricate, complex mosaic of myths that explores the ways in which the imagination can bring hope into our lives during difficult times. With her depth as a poet and her boldness as a storyteller, the author has created an unforgettable novel. It stays in our imagination, long after we've read the last word." &mdash;Gwyn Hyman Rubio, New York Times bestselling author of Icy Sparks, The Woodman's Daughter, and Love & Ordinary Creatures"Tiffany McDaniel gives voice to those on the fringes. Betty is a coming-of-age novel that has the courage to look into the darkness and to find the light. Betty Carpenter tells the story of her family with empathy and passion and heart. This is a book for anyone who's ever stood on the outside looking in, or for anyone who's ever scorned the unfortunate. It's a book for our uncertain times, one that has much to show us about family, about want, about love." &mdash;Lee Martin, author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Bright Forever&ldquo;So engrossing!

»Das Konzept ›Lesen • Verstehen • Lernen‹ ist beeindruckend in seiner Klarheit, Übersichtlichkeit und Prägnanz betreffend effektiver Lesepädagogik und Generierung von Bildungswissen. Die gut strukturierte Präzisierung der jeweiligen Bildungsstandards ist heute aus einem guten Begleitmaterial nicht mehr wegzudenken. Methodisch-didaktisch heben sich die Materialien wohltuend von den traditionellen Handreichungen ab.«

"Child and Adolescent Psychopathology: Theoretical and Clinical Implications is a publication that indeed covers a lot of ground in child psychopathology, complete with research findings and clinical theoretical models. The chapters' authors follow a concise, almost universal style of writing, which allows for easy reading and would satisfy the educational needs of advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and mental health professionals. Essau captures the major psychological and psychiatric disorders of childhood in a well-planned book that is able to complement more detailed publications of childhood psychopathology...in courses of developmental psychopathology for clinical and counseling psychology students. Similarly, this book, when paired with case studies of childhood disorders, can become a solid foundation for an applied course of clinical child psychology and other graduate mental health courses."
- Marios Constantinou, Natalie Pilpenko, Maria Karekla, in PsyCritiques, Contemporary Psychology: APA Review of Books

"Essau has managed to bring together some interesting findings from several authors to help us understand how biological and environmentalfactors influence the development of childhood and adolescent disorders. Furthermore, they have been able to highlight contributary factors and preventative measures in order to minimize or avoid symptom onset of some of the conditions researched."
