Working on the Railroad, Walking in Beauty

CC BY-NC-ND

"A valuable account of how the Navajo involvement in railroad labor and underlying cultural values interface. It is the sensitivity to that cultural identity that gives the work a special edge and at the same time a broad appeal. It is extremely well written and well organized. Jay Youngdahl tells a good story while applying high standards of scholarship along with an underlying humanism." Paul Zolbrod, author/translator of Din Bahan: The Navajo Creation Story. For over one hundred years, Navajos have gone to work in significant numbers on Southwestern railroads. As they took on the arduous work of laying and anchoring tracks, they turned to traditional religion to anchor their lives. Jay Youngdahl has used oral history and archival research to write a cultural history of Navajos' work on the railroad and the roles their religious traditions play in their lives of hard labor away from home.

Being Young, Male and Muslim in Luton

CC BY

What is it like to be a young Muslim man in post-7/7 Britain, and what impact do wider political factors have on the multifaceted identities of young Muslim men? Drawn from the author’s ethnographic research of British-born Muslim men in the English town of Luton, Being Young, Male and Muslim in Luton explores the everyday lives of the young men and, in particular, how their identity as Muslims has shaped the way they interact with each other, the local community and the wider world.

Through a study of religious values, the pressures of masculinity, the complexities of family and social life, and attitudes towards work and leisure, Ashraf Hoque argues that young Muslims in Luton are subverting what it means to be ‘British’ through consciously prioritising and re-articulating self-confessed ‘Muslim identities’ in novel and dynamic ways that suit their experiences as a post-colonial diaspora. Employing extensive participant observation and rich interview content, Hoque paints a detailed picture of young Muslims living in a town consistently associated in the popular media with terrorist activity and as a hotbed for radicalisation. He challenges widely held assumptions about cultural segregation, gender relations and personal liberty in Muslim communities, and gives voice to an emerging generation of Muslims who view Britain as their home and are very much invested in the long-term future of the country and their permanent place within it. 
This short and accessible book will be of interest to students seeking grounding in Islam and Muslim communities in diaspora, and scholars from an array of social science and humanities backgrounds including Anthropology, Sociology of Religion, Political Science, Urban Studies and Cultural Studies.

Jewish Religion After Theology

CC BY-NC

Jewish Religion After Theology ponders one of the most intriguing shifts in modern Jewish thought: from a metaphysical and theological standpoint toward a new manner of philosophizing based primarily on practice. Different chapters study this great shift and its various manifestations. The central figure of this new examination is Isaiah Leibowitz, whose thoughts encapsulate more than any other Jewish thinker this stance of religion without metaphysics. Sagi explores corresponding issues such as observance, the possibility of pluralism, the meaning of penance without messianic suppositions, and pragmatic coping with theodicy after the Holocaust, presenting the different possibilities within this great alteration in Jewish thought.

L'expérience de la différence religieuse dans l'Europe moderne (XVIe - XVIIIe siè-cles)

CC BY-NC-ND

This collective work explores the themes of religious coexistence and the broaching of religious frontiers in Europe during the 16th, 17th and 18th Centuries. It intends to open new areas for discussion on a European level through the bias of a dia-logue between researchers subscribing to highly different national traditions (France, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Germany). It acts through the contributions gathered here to analyse the possibilities and different methods of interfaith con-tact by using as a departure point the experience of religious differences: The ex-perience garnered by diverse social actors – ecclesiastical, magisterial, academics and nobility.Cet ouvrage collectif aborde les thématiques de la coexistence confessionnelle et du dépassement des frontières religieuses dans l’Europe des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Il entend ouvrir de nouvelles pistes de discussion à l’échelle européenne, par le biais d’un dialogue entre des chercheurs s’inscrivant dans des traditions nationales bien différentes (France, Pays-Bas, Suisse, Allemagne). Il s’agit dans les contributions rassemblées ici d’analyser les possibilités et les modalités des contacts interconfessionnels, en prenant comme point de départ l’expérience de la différence religieuse : l’expérience vécue d’acteurs sociaux très divers – ecclésiastiques, magistrats, lettrés ou bourgeois – mais aussi l’expérience tentée par les autorités politiques. Les approches utilisées sont diverses : étude de trajectoires individuelles, histoire intellectuelle et culturelle, histoire sociale et politique. Les recherches présentées, dans leur diversité, s’inscrivent dans un contexte historiographique marqué par la remise en cause des paradigmes insistant sur l’étanchéité des frontières confessionnelles.

Gesundheitsausgaben: Determinanten und Auswirkungen auf die Gesundheit

CC BY

In vielen Industrieländern sind in den vergangenen Jahren die <BR> Gesundheitsausgaben deutlich angestiegen. Kostendämpfungsmaßnahmen waren oft die Folge. Mit Blick auf andere Branchen überrascht dies, da zunächst keine Argumente gegen einen Anstieg der Gesundheitsausgaben vorgebracht werden können, wenn die so finanzierten Gesundheitsleistungen effizient erbracht werden und den Präferenzen der Bevölkerung entsprechen. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es Ziel der Arbeit, auf theoretischer und empirischer Ebene die Determinanten der Gesundheitsausgaben zu untersuchen und der Frage nachzugehen, inwieweit Gesundheitsausgaben einen Beitrag zur Gesundheit der Bevölkerung leisten. Es zeigt sich, dass eine reine Betrachtung des Gesundheitssektors unter Kostendämpfungsaspekten nicht gerechtfertigt ist.

Family and Business During the Industrial Revolution

CC BY-NC-ND

Small businesses were at the heart of the economic growth and social transformation that characterized the Industrial Revolution in Britain. In towns across north-west England, shops and workshops dominated the streetscape, and helped to satisfy an increasing desire for consumer goods. Yet, despite their significance, we know surprisingly little about these firms and the people who ran them, for, while those engaged in craft-based manufacturing, retailing, and allied trades constituted a significant proportion of the urban population, they have been generally overlooked by historians. Instead, our view of the world of business is more usually taken up by narratives of particularly successful firms, and especially those involved in new modes of production. By examining some of the forgotten businesses of the Industrial Revolution, and the men and women who worked in them, this book presents a largely unfamiliar commercial world. Its approach, which spans economic, social, and cultural history, as well as encompassing business history and the histories of the emotions, space, and material culture, alongside studies of personal testimony, testatory practice, and property ownership, tests current understandings of gender, work, family, class, and power in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It provides us with new insights into the lives of ordinary men and women in trade, whose relatively mundane lives are easily overlooked, but who were central to the story of a pivotal period in British history.&#xD;

Coleridge's Laws: A Study of Coleridge in Malta

CC BY-NC-ND

Samuel Taylor Coleridge is best known as a great poet and literary theorist, but for one, quite short, period of his life he held real political power — acting as Public Secretary to the British Civil Commissioner in Malta in 1805. This was a formative experience for Coleridge which he later identified as being one of the most instructive in his entire life. In this book, Barry Hough and Howard Davis show how Coleridge's actions whilst in a position of power differ markedly from the idealism he had advocated before taking office — shedding new light on Coleridge's sense of political and legal morality. Meticulously researched and including newly discovered archival materials, Coleridge's Laws provides detailed analysis of the laws and public notices drafted by Coleridge, together with the first published translations of them. Drawing from a wealth of primary sources, Hough and Davis identify the political challenges facing Coleridge and reveal that, in attempting to win over the Maltese public to support Britain's strategic interests, Coleridge was complicit in acts of government which were both inconsistent with the rule of law and contrary to his professed beliefs. Coleridge's willingness to overlook accepted legal processes and personal misgivings for political expediency is disturbing and, as explained by Michael John Kooy in his extensive introduction, necessarily alters our understanding of the author and his writing. Coleridge's Laws contributes in new ways to the current debates about Coleridge's achievements, British colonialism and its engagement with the rule of law, nationhood and the effectiveness of the British administration of Malta. It provides essential reading for anybody interested in Coleridge specifically and the Romantics more generally, for political and legal historians and for students of colonial government.
