"How Long This Road is a sturdy testament to the life and work of C. Eric Lincoln. This kind of testament is necessary to capture the prodigious interest and themes that captured Lincoln's creative mind: religion, race, ethics, literature, human rights, the arts, science, social philosophy, the university, business and economics, the Black Church, civil rights, culture, poetry, sociology, classical philosophy, and education. This volume does not engage in hagiography but pedagogy. Much like his work, the contributors not only inform us, they teach us about the nature of human existence, the need to ask questions about the world around us, and the importance of keeping our humanity in the process. These things keep faith with the values of life, dignity, creativity, and responsibility that Lincoln saw as fundamental to every civilized society. This volume honors Lincoln because it touches the soul and the intellect with uncompromising rigor, keen analysis, and great hope." - Emilie M. Townes, Beaird Professor of Christian Ethics, Union Theological Seminary

"A superb volume! This collection pays just tribute to one of the deans of African American religious studies and provides teachers and intelligent readers with a wonderful overview of religion in black America. Professors and religious leaders around the country should celebrate and make good use of this text." - Robert M. Franklin, Presidential Distinguished Professor, Candler School of Theology, Emory University

How Long This Road

'The argument is clearly expressed, very subtly structured and well- informed. One of the strengths of the book is that it avoids the dull simplicity of the rescue of Marxist Truth from the errors of postmodernity or, by contrast, the tendency to throw Marxism into the dustbin in a moment of postmodern exuberance. The book offers a sophisticated and knowledgeable debate between Marxism and postmodernism and, thus, seeks to move the argument onto a new ground that emphasises questions of ethical responsibility.' - Keith Tester, Professor of Cultural Sociology, University of Portsmouth, UK

"The most important contribution of the manuscript is its analysis of how the state capacity is limited in its attempts to regulate private economic activities in two Chinese societies. It tells a complete story about the failure of the governments in both sides of the Taiwan Strait to constrain/make use of the economic interactions across the Taiwan Strait for their political objectives."
 - Suisheng Zhao, Editor, Journal of Contemporary China

"John Tian's book effectively tackles the puzzle of asymmetry in relations across the Taiwan Strait: increasing economic integration and growing political tensions. It takes us through the complex maze of strategic interactions, policy designs and state-business relations between and in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. It uniquely captures the intriguing logic of interactions between deepening economic interdependence and rising political tension across the Taiwan Strait. It is rich, sophisticated and insightful. It is highly recommended for those who wish to learn more about the Taiwan problem."
 - Jia Qingguo, Professor, School of International Studies, Peking Univeristy

'When do state leaders draw foreign policy lessons from the historical experience of other countries? Ben Goldsmith in his book, Imitation in International Relations, provides new insights and answers to this critical question by a compelling combination of theoretical analysis, statistical tests, and comparative cases studies. This book represents a major contribution to scholarship on when and why learning takes place in foreign policy. This book is a must read for students of foreign policy decision making.' - Paul Huth, University of Michigan, USA

'We know that state elites often watch carefully their counterparts in other states. Too often, however, scholars have built ad hoc theories of imitation, policy transfer, and demonstration effects. Goldsmith's ambitious book locates an explanation of why and when state elites will draw lessons from the experience of other states inside a broader theory of foreign policy. It thus advances our understanding of this important phenomenon.' - Wade Jacoby, Brigham Young University, USA

'This innovative study of foreign policy perceptions and decisions compares Russian and Ukrainian attitudes toward privatization and foreign investment in the 1990's, highlighting contrasting views toward the Soviet past in Moscow and Ky'iv. It enriches our understanding of how elites maneuvered uncharted and challenging territory in the first decade after the collapse of communism.' - Dr. Angela Stent, Georgetown University, USA

'Comprehensive, detailed and authoritative... the book will be of interest and use to both students and academics alike.' Political Studies Review

'The Europeanization of British Politics is the main contribution to the understanding of how EU has affected and still affects British politics. The common framework utilised by the contributors and the importance of the scholars involved make this book essential reading for those working on the relation between UK and the EU and, more in general, for scholars working on the process of Europeanization. Moreover, the clear writing style and the richness of information presented make this book interesting also for a non-academic reader.' Journal of Contemporary European Research

'A valuable addition to the literature, particularly via the template it develops for future single country studies. Essential for all Eurosceptics who believe the British have somehow 'lost' their identity and freedom for action on the world stage since 1973.' - Journal of European Integration

'An extensive introduction of the main research available on the Europeanization of British politics.' - Journal of Common Market Studies

'This is a refreshing book, covering an impressive range of actors and policy areas. It is based on new theoretical underpinnings and provides a careful assessment of the impact of European integration on British politics, policy and institutions. It will be a formidable tool for teaching and a significant input to scholarly research on Europeanization.' - Professor Claudio M. Radaelli, University of Exeter, UK.

'The question of how the processes of 'Europeanization' work has triggered a lively debate among those who study European integration. This volume is a valuable contribution to this debate. It has a sharply defined focus on the experiences of the United Kingdom over the years, across policy domains, and across levels and venues of governance and politics.' - Professor Helen Wallace, European University Institute, Florence, Italy.

'Britain is a European country but has often claimed to be insular and unique. This book explores the extent to which membership of the EU has made Britain more 'European', analysing the impact which the EU has had on British politics, policies and institutions. It is theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich and will be essential reading for students of British politics.' - Andrew Gamble, University of Sheffield, UK

“This new study of the early political career of Sir Oswald Mosley … is both a perceptive biography of the ambitious baronet and a painstaking reconstruction of the wider political ideas and context of the 1920s. … Howell’s study is an important contribution to the historiography, which combines thoughtful analysis of Mosley’s early years in politics with a comprehensive understanding of the internal politics of the Labour movement of the 1920s.” (Steven Woodbridge, Parliamentary History, Vol. 35 (2), June, 2016)“The book is an excellent contribution to scholarship not only about Mosley, but also about Conservative and Labour politics of the 1920s. … The book contains solid analyses of Mosley’s politics and elections prior to his entrance into fascist politics. … The book is an excellent and welcomed study about inter-war politics and Oswald Mosley.” (Ryan Shaffer, History - Journal of the Historical Association, January, 2016)'David Howell superbly charts Mosley's remarkable political journey across the political spectrum in the years following the First World War. His book is a brilliant & unique exploration of early 20th century political thought, postwar British political history and the personal odyssey of one of the most remarkable political figures of the time.' - Stewart Wood, Lord Wood of Anfield

"Dr. Urban dissects the dangerous and obfuscating rhetoric that links environmental degradation, hunger, and poverty with immigration and women's fertility. Her clear-headed analysis and accessible language makes this timely book an indispensable resource for students, scholars, organizers, and policy-makers on this crucial and urgent issue." - Gwyn Kirk, Ph.D., Women for Genuine Security

"Nation, Immigration & Environmental Security interrogates the greening of hate from an intersectional postcolonial feminist perspective that exposes the lethal, neo-Malthusian politics of Environmental Security frameworks in academic, media, policy, and mainstream environmentalist discourse and foregrounds the political analysis and transformative social vision of the growing, immigrant-led movement for human rights and environmental and economic justice in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. Urban's work offers a crucial and timely intervention in contemporary scholarly, activist, and policy debates over border security, global social justice and environmental sustainability."
 - Zoe Hammer, Ph.D., Scholar/Activist, Border Action Network, U.S.-Mexico Border & Immigration Task Force, Prescott College for the Liberal Arts and the Environment

"At last a book that makes the critical link between all too commonly accepted neo-Malthusian ideologies of environment and security and the militarization of border control. Through careful textual interpretation and political investigation, Urban not only shows how these ideologies function to scapegoat immigrants, but how feminist intersectional analysis and activism help open the way to a more progressive vision that connects immigrant rights to environmental and social justice." - Betsy Hartmann, Ph.D., Director of the Population and Development Program, Hampshire College, and co-editor of Making Threats: Biofears and Environmental Anxieties
