Writing Politics in Modern Britain

Genre and Cultures of Publishing since 1900

In many European states, multiculturalism has recently come under attack, being openly questioned by many in both the public and political spaces as being in 'crisis'. Prompting many of these attacks have been incidents or events - typically interpreted as 'controversies' - that have involved or centred on issues relating to Muslims or Islam. Having ramifications in the social, cultural or political spaces, many have seen these controversies as accentuating the 'problem' of Muslims and Islam. Focusing on a number of these 'crises' and 'controversies', this book seeks to to interrogate the theories of Islamophobia through the lens of a series of different 'crises and controversies' that have involved - or have been perceived as involving - Muslims or Islam. This book critically engages these 'crises and controversies' through the framework of the definitions, theories and concepts explored in the author's earlier book Islamophobia? (Ashgate, 2010). Allen's latest boo sets out to: better understand where, how and why the responses of both the right, left and centre of the European political spectrum are seemingly converging in views and attitudes towards Muslims and Islam; contribute additional knowledge to the still relatively under-researched yet extremely timely phenomenon of Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hatred; and consider how this links to and affects attitudes and expressions manifested in the public and social spaces. Employing a largely thematic approach, this book focuses on the linked impacts of a range of different controversies that have occurred at the local, national and regional levels. These include: Invasion and Islamification - Eurabia and the Islamic Invasion; Physical and Material - minarets and mosques; Culture and 'Our Way of Life' - between us and them; Values and Freedoms - veils, hijabs and niqabs; Speech and Offence - cartoons and caricatures; Terrorism and Threat - 'home-grown bombers' to exter

New Perspectives on Islamophobia

Routledge Studies in Environment and Health

This book provides the most comprehensive analysis to date of how climate change-associated conflict will harm human health. Examining key concepts such as climate change as a threat multiplier and peace inhibitor, the book goes on to explore the ways in which climate change-associated conflict will result in the degradation or destruction of public health infrastructure and activity. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, public health, environmental sociology and conflict studies.

Examining key concepts such as climate change as a threat multiplier and peace inhibitor, the book goes on to explore the ways in which climate change-associated conflict will result in the degradation or destruction of public health infrastructure and activity. At an international level, climate change driven increases in the incidence of conflict would disrupt trade of food and medical supplies. It would likely also see an overall shift in government spending from health and its determinants toward defence, resulting in poorer health globally. To more fully explore the health effects of climate change-associated conflict, Bowles also investigates some other tertiary effects, including reduced food availability, economic growth, health system capacity and increased migration. The book concludes with an analysis of how the discipline of public health can better anticipate and ameliorate the effects of climate change.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, public health, environmental sociology and conflict studies.

The Health Consequences of Climate Change-Associated Conflict

Tribal Community Planning uses a community-planning lens to bring attention to policies that decision makers, governmental agencies, and tribal leadership need to address regarding American Indian tribes and their resiliency, self-reliance and independence. It adds to the literature on resiliency from the perspective of the cultural and community well-being dimensions of sustainability and quality of life studies. The book begins by addressing the historical Indian and federal Government relationships over time and argues how land use and community planning has significant meaning and impacts for Indian reservations. It then explores the history of federal Indian law and its import to current issues in planning including the role of culture in planning. With a focus on southwestern tribes, the book also provides insight into the general status of planning efforts on Indian reservations and the issues encountered, asking questions such as what role does gaming play in economic development versus development of community and sustainable livability? It addresses the issues inherent in economic development in the absence of accountability. The authors provide an interdisciplinary context that integrates community planning, public policy, law and economic development in the context of sustainability.

Beaker Burials in Britain and North-West Europe 2600-1800 BC provides a comprehensive account of the current interpretations of Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age Beaker burials, monuments and their social and cultural contexts in Britain, Ireland and the maritime zone of North-West Europe, from Brittany to Jutland.Burials of the Beaker people have long held a special place in the European imagination because of their highly distinctive and exotic material culture associations, their connection with the spread of copper metallurgy, striking modes of funerary display, and apparent rapidity with which these spread across western and central Europe through population movement, exchange and indigenous adoption. The impact of Beaker people's funerary practices, technologies, social ideals and cosmologies on 'native' communities led to diverse and often radical transformations in wider cultural repertoires, political organizations and social and economic life.Beaker Burials in Britain and North-West Europe 2600-1800 BC considers the Beaker people's funerary record in context of the full range of interpretive frameworks, with comparative reference to wider sources of evidence. There is a particular focus on ethnographic description and interpretation of death ritual, funerary architecture and the social, political, religious and cosmological significance of burials, body treatment and monumentality. A thematic structure allows for the coverage of key topics such as cultural geography and interaction, funerary ritual, monuments and landscape, cultural and social identities, personhood, power and politics, death and living society, and cultural change and history.

Is Europe a global actor? It all depends on which 'Europe', one means. There is no such thing as a European foreign, security or defence policy, in the sense of a coordinated ensemble of national, EU and NATO initiatives, only European foreign, security and defence policies, pursued by different actors, sometimes in coordination, sometimes alongside each other, sometimes in competition. National sovereignty prevails. Decisions are taken in the capitals and acting through the EU or NATO are just two options in addition to, and no more important than, the national option. The Ashgate Research Companion to the Foreign Policies of Europe starts its analysis then from the national level. Expert contributors consider the interests, policies and impact of the European states across regions, key issues and relationships and consider whether decisions made out of national interest can continue to meet the security, defence, economic and environmental challenges of Europe in the 21st century.

Black Literary and Cultural Expressions

An interrogation of the poetry of Mazisi Kunene that places his work in the context of African literature and the richness of the oral tradition, as well as his political activism that connects him to the wider African diaspora.
 
As Africa's foremost epic poet, Mazisi Kunene occupies a unique place in history. In this study, Dike Okoro illuminates the penetrating insights found in Kunene's poetry and the reasons why his art has been considered as masterpieces grounded in geography, history, and culture. He situates Kunene as a theorist who embraces African tradition - including his adoption of izibongo, Zulu praise poetry - and the role of the artist as a chronicler of his people's history, committed to art as a catalyst for change, not justd South Africa but for Africans around the globe.
 
 These essays and interviews address the post-apartheid reality of South Africa and draw from a repository of rich images found in Kunene's poetry to provide examples of depictions of colonial exploitation in Africa; the rootedness of traditional African culture; women and children who bring hope; and art as a way to effect change. They demonstrate Kunene's profound influence on and in world literature, interrogating his work for its style and connections with poetry by Native Americans and other Indigenous literary traditions. 
 
The Epic Poetry of Mazisi Kunene argues that Mazisi Kunene's poetry centers non-human beings (animals and plants), the pristine environment of the olden days, and the cosmology of his Zulu ethnicity, asserting the relevance of his art - in this 21st-century moment of climate crisis - as both a form of activism and a political tool to the African creative writer.

The Epic Poetry of Mazisi Kunene

Sex, Gender, and Politics explores how to think about political behavior based on empirical evidence of sex differences in attitudes and behaviors within the context of gendered norms and institutions. Drawing upon advancements in fields such as social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, behavioral economics, and even behavioral genetics, Rebecca J. Hannagan uses a biosocial approach to think about sex, gender, and political behavior.

Increasingly research shows that women and men not only perceive people and situations quite differently, but that we might expect different political attitudes and behaviors from them as a result. Recent studies suggest gender-balanced group dynamics can impact decision making in ways that old models of politics and leadership do not capture. Previous models were based on notions of socialized gender roles, as well as notions about leadership being gendered masculine, but these notions are evolving. From both scholarly and practical standpoints, our thinking about sex, gender, and politics needs an update. Sex, Gender, and Politics explores how to think about political behavior based on empirical evidence of sex differences in attitudes and behaviors within the context of gendered norms and institutions. Although "women in politics" as a subfield of political science and a political agenda is important, this book shows that there are reasons beyond equality and representation to pay attention to sex and gender. Drawing upon advancements in fields such as social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, behavioral economics, and even behavioral genetics, Rebecca J. Hannagan uses a biosocial approach to think about sex, gender, and political behavior. The book also addresses the political problem that women do not serve in public office at the same rate as their male counterparts, arguing that the issue is not merely one of concern to women’s rights movements or a matter of equality, but one that leaves political deliberation and democratic politics sorely lacking based on current research on gender balance and group dynamics. This book takes categories typical of any course in political psychology and political behavior—as well as women and politics or gender politics—and reframes them, not only by focusing on sex differences, gender roles, and gendered institutions, but via a biosocial approach to attitudes and behaviors. This reframing is essential for courses on political behavior and gender and politics and presents an updated way of thinking about politics that should appeal to students and scholars alike.

Studies in Early Medieval History

This study is a vital reassessment of neglected medieval ruler King Carloman, who is so often found in the shadow of Charlemagne. Te information we have about him, transmitted by the Carolingian narrative texts or documents, has rarely been investigated before now. Marco Stoffella draws on a wide range of sources including letters, charters and diplomas to show that Carloman played a central political role in the Frankish kingdom which he ruled for three years. Stoffella suggests that it was Carloman, not Charlemagne, who was the Frankish king who married Gerberga, the Lombard princess. This emerging hypothesis leads to a reconsideration of further aspects of both Carloman's and Charlemagne's early careers. Evidence from minor annals that have been relatively disregarded until now, together with a fresh scrutiny of Pippin's and Carloman's diplomas, suggests that it was possibly Carloman rather than Charlemagne who was Pippin's first-born son. Following this interpretation, Carloman, Charlemagne and Dynastic Rivalries in the Eighth Century reflects on the extent and successfulness of Carolingian royal and imperial propaganda which re-shaped the early stages of Charlemagne's career, stressing his authority and blaming Carloman and his followers for the conflicts that emerged in Francia and in Italy between 768 and 771. The pro-Charlemagne sources even obscured the fate of the young king, and completely ignored the destiny of his wife and children. These new findings and arguments are expertly framed here and are of huge significance to our understanding of Charlemagne's conquest of the Lombard kingdom and policy south of the Alps.
