Roads Not Taken

The Radical Imagination

Since its initial 2011 publication, Theory from the South has stimulated a new field of inquiry from leading scholars, while world developments have escalated and supported its original thesis of how "Euroamerica has evolved toward Africa." Not least of these is the many resemblances of the Trump presidency to that of Jacob Zuma, transformations in the nature of many of the world's Northern democracies, the rise of populist politics, the intensifying hold of private capital over functions of the state, sharpening inequalities, and the transformation of labor. In a new chapter for this expanded edition, the Comaroffs extend their theorizing around and beyond these new developments. Critique and discussion by several prominent commentators round out this new edition: Achille Mbembe, James Ferguson, Ato Quayson, Srinivas Aravamudan, and Juan Obarrio.

Theory from the South, Revisited

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

The Pornography Business

How do states choose--and keep--the judges who sit on their highest courts? Selecting and Retaining State Supreme Court Justices offers the most comprehensive analysis to date of the political processes shaping judicial selection and retention across all fifty states. From partisan and nonpartisan elections to legislative votes and gubernatorial appointments, this book explores the full spectrum of methods used to fill state supreme court seats--and the political forces behind them. It examines how these processes have evolved over the fifty years, from 1976 to 2025, against a backdrop of growing polarization and landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions on issues such as gerrymandering and abortion. Two closely related questions drive the study: How have the politics of judicial selection and retention changed over the fifty-year period covered by the book? And have recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings, which removed federal courts from most issues related to gerrymandering and abortion, produced some of those changes in the short time since those decisions? Drawing on extensive data and original research, the author reveals that the answers are complex--and deeply intertwined with broader political trends. Unlike any other study, this book delves into less common practices, including selection by appointment, legislative elections, and retention methods beyond popular vote. Whether you are a scholar, student, or policymaker, this volume is an essential resource for understanding the dynamic interplay between law and politics in America's state courts.

The Sociology Book

This book is an insightful, thought-provoking study of one of the world's most important courts. There is no doubt that the European Court of Justice has had a transformative effect on EU Law, but not without controversy. 

This book explores these criticisms, asking if concerns over judicial activism, unconventional interpretative methods, conflicts with national courts and over-reach are justified. Drawing on the expertise of leading commentators in their sectors, its ambitious scope explores the question from across the spectrum of EU Law. Its analysis includes the political dimension, giving the fullest understanding of the environment in which the Court and its judgments have operated.

The European Court of Justice and its Critics

A definitive collection of essays by one of the leading living theorists of social power, brought together here for the first time. In this consolidated summation of his works, Steven Lukes reflects on the central questions and changing nature of 'the power debate' as it has evolved since the publication of his seminal work Power: A Radical View. Including six essays on power as it relates to central themes of truth, domination and moral responsibility, and engaging with nine influential recent and contemporary theorists of power, Power and Domination and Other Essays provides a major critique of a debate that remains as alive and contentious as ever. Bringing up to date Lukes's work on power in one accessible volume, this book is an essential companion to Power: A Radical View, now in its third edition, and useful for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of the history of social and political thought, political science and political sociology.

World Scientific Series in Global Health Economics and Public Policy

Social Capital and Health builds on the existing literature in establishing the effect of social capital on health. With contributions from scholars in the field, this book covers different aspects of social capital, including ethnicity, gender and religion, and how these impact on an individual's well-being. The book also takes on an international lens by examining the phenomenon in different parts of the world. Given the changing human interaction patterns amid the Fourth Industrial Revolution, this timely publication captures the evolving term of 'social capital' and its nuances.

Social Capital And Health

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Own Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Own Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.
