The Alternative Cultural Politics of Diaspora

World-Systems Evolution and Global Futures

Time-Mapping Systemic Boundaries

The Globalization of World-Systems

Reissued with a new foreword, this classic volume is a systematic investigation of the origins and nature of the international society of today. It examines the expansion of the international society of European states across the globe from a society dominated by Europeans, and its subsequent transformation into a global international society.

Recent Approaches in Roman Archaeology

The Global, the Local and the Glocal

This book examines 'womanhood' and 'race' not only as disputed, converging, and constantly changing categories and lived experiences, but also as interrelated and unequal subjectivities and social realties that shaped all early-twentieth century Puerto Ricans. It empirically documents just how significantly 'womanhood' and 'race' were inextricably intertwined in Puerto Rico between 1914 and 1945, a decisive period in U.S. expansionism and in the transformation of this island. Through a comparative analysis and description of specific subjects in early-twentieth century Puerto Rico—mostly Puerto Ricans from different races and social classes, but also some North Americans as well—the book demonstrates the extent to which 'womanhood' and 'race' are a more thorny, volatile, and unstable than is commonly acknowledged within Women’s History and Caribbean Studies. This is the first book that examines the relationships between women in Puerto Rico from divergent social classes and racialized positions by mostly focusing on the socioeconomic and racial inequalities among colonized women in Puerto Rico. This is in marked contrast with most Women’s History globally which mainly concentrates either on the lives of elite women or, at best, on the unequal relationships between colonizer- and/or European-descended women vis-à-vis colonized- and/or non-white women. In this book 'womanhood' and 'race' are not seen as separate, nor as already given, historically and culturally immutable 'things.’ Those are some of the lacunae this book transcends, primarily in the case of white-Creole women relative to non-white Island women and the images socially constructed of them in Puerto Rico, as well as for racially located Puerto Ricans more broadly. Within this context, the book enables a different reading of already known documents while demonstrating the importance of examining unused or forgotten bibliographical sources, some of them previously untranslated.Gladys M. Jiménez-Muñoz is an Associate Professor at the Sociology Department at Binghamton University-SUNY.&nbsp;

Labile Bodies, Colonial Disparities

Womanhood and Race in Interwar Puerto Rico

"We are living in what might be considered a 'carceral world'. Practices, performances, spatialities, imaginaries, and experiences of incarceration are widespread. Carceral Worlds offers a necessary and timely contribution to understanding these realities of our globalized present. The book interrogates the central implication of prison systems in population management and expands our perspectives of security, imprisonment and confinement to account for the historical and social constructions that drive the connections between prisons and the capitalist system. Crucially, it addresses the intersection of the carceral beyond traditional spaces of incarceration and imprisonment to interrogate, for example, infrastructures of labor; religion; the prolonged effects of colonial heritage on the everyday; ecological concerns; homelessness; migrant detention; and city management as part of the production of our 'carceral world'. The volume brings together work on an international scale with case studies from across the Global North and Global South. Bringing together multidisciplinary contributions that speak to the themes of the conditions, experiences and imaginaries of carcerality, this book will be essential reading for those interested in questions of carcerality in relation to the management, control, and securitization of populations around the globe"-- Provided by publisher.

Black Music, Racism and Criminal Injustice

Policing the Beats

The nation’s foremost expert on restorative justice and the lead attorney for the last survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre presents a powerful and urgent call to arms to right the wrongs of our past for a more sustainable future. Despite North Tulsa, Damario Solomon-Simmons’ hometown, once being the mecca for Black wealth, north Tulsans don’t own land or property, don't have access to inheritance or generational wealth, and mostly live paycheck to paycheck with little opportunity for climbing out of the crushing hole of poverty. We see through young Damario’s eyes–and the subtle and direct racism he faces–that Tulsa hasn’t shed its racist roots. Combining his own experience and the evocative portrait of a city suffering under one hundred years without repair, Redeem a Nation acknowledges why restorative justice is urgent and critical. We must address the systemic barriers that continue to perpetuate inequality and provide the necessary resources for individuals and communities to thrive. Riveting and unflinching, Redeem a Nation presents a compelling case for reparatory justice and reminds us of our collective responsibility to dismantle the structures that perpetuate inequality and suffering. Redeem a Nation grapples with the monumental story of corruption, disenfranchisement, and poverty in America through the historic, complex legal case for reparations in Tulsa and the deeply personal and evocative stories of the last living victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre and their descendants. It explores the moral obligation to seek justice and rectify both the past and present to forge a more equitable America in the face of its current deconstruction. Redeem a Nation reveals how the damage of generational poverty and loss of opportunity isn’t some relic of the past. It is happening right now, in towns and cities all over the United States. From Tulsa to Chicago, Redeem a Nation offers a way forward through real systematic change and community care.

How to Kill a Language

A hard-hitting exploration of how state policy displaces and isolates Black communities and how collective resistance creates spaces for working-class people of color to identify the true cause of conflict as capitalism and white supremacy 
 
Marginalized communities often become understandably preoccupied with a city's structured attempt to deem them disposable, making it difficult to see people experiencing the same suffering as potential comrades in struggle. Enemies are manufactured as the result of continued displacement, hyper-segregation, and dispossession. Under these impossible circumstances people are often quicker to punch each other before they identify the enemy as white supremacy and capitalism, creating a society where conflict is engineered. 
 
Examining the long fight of Black people in Chicago to claim their humanity and thrive in a city while facing school closings, the destruction of public housing and oppressive law enforcement, Stovall argues that marginalized communities face unique structural challenges while being blamed for interpersonal conflict and labeled "violent" and deemed disposable. With a novel approach to the question of how state-sanctioned violence and abandonment impacts low-income communities,&nbsp;Engineered Conflict&nbsp;uses examples from Chicago's recent history to shed light on the politics of disposability through housing instability, criminalization, and school closures. Looking at all three phenomena together allows readers to see how state policies designate some neighborhoods as unviable, where disinvestment furthers a rationale to contain members of these communities. 
 
Looking at the many ways Black communities have resisted state violence and the work of local organizations to address marginalization,&nbsp;Engineered Conflict&nbsp;calls for a powerful movement against the displacement, disinvestment, and disposability of Chicago's Black population.

Structural Violence and the Future of Black Life in Chicago

Engineered Conflict

In collaboration with the estate of Bill Traylor, this publication offers a comprehensive look at the self-taught artist’s distinctive imagery, which mixes subjects and iconography from the American South with a strong formalistic treatment of color, shape, and surface.Born into slavery, Traylor spent much of his life after the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation working as a farm laborer in rural Alabama and, later, as a shoemaker and factory worker in Montgomery. In 1939, at approximately the age of 85, having never previously trained or studied art in any formal way, Traylor began making drawings and works on paper using gouache and other media. Though he continued to make art for the remainder of his life, Traylor was most prolific between 1939 and 1942, creating a body of work that offers a unique and rich registry of his life, experience, and insights.This monograph weaves beautiful reproductions of Traylor’s works with essays by and conversations with his descendants, offering a unique and deeply personal look at this artist whose work exists in the collections of many notable institutions in the United States but whose story has never been fully told.
