Evaluating Social Movement Impacts Comparative Lessons from the Labor Movement in Turkey Brian Mello Some social movements bring in quick, radical political and social changes while others get incorporated into existing systems or subjected to harsh repression. This book examines why social movements elicit different policy responses and their varying impact on the societies in which they occur. It also seeks to understand why seemingly inconsequential movements can nonetheless have enduring effects. BRIAN MELLO is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Muhlenberg College, USA.

The incisive works included in this series provide a counterpoint to the reigning canons of theory, theology, philosophy, literature, and criticism through investigations of vast experiential typologies − such as violence, mourning, vulnerability, tension, and humour − in light of contemporary Islamicate thought.
Hostage Spaces of the Contemporary Islamicate World Phantom Territoriality Dejan Lukic “An extended and highly original meditation on the ambiguous figure of the hostage in modern life.” Faisal Devji, Reader in Modern South Asian History at the University of Oxford, UK Dejan Lukic explores the spaces where hostages and hostage takers come into contact − spaces of accident, sacrifice, hope, and catastrophe − or, in other words, the spaces that announce utopias bound to fail. In this book, the figures of the victim, the terrorist, the sovereign, the resistance fighter and the witness − among others − emerge with a new face; one that will contribute to our understandings of what it means to act politically and ethically today. DEJAN LUKIC is Visiting Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Reed College, Oregon, USA.
