Dear Readers, I am honored to announce the Spring 2026 Columbia catalog, the final one in my time as director of the press. It is a bittersweet moment, but also an inspiring one: Throughout this catalog are books that exemplify everything that has made Columbia University Press such a vital institution. This catalog puts our greatest strengths on display, from our core subject areas to our dedication to publishing scholarship that connects to readers’ lives. There are outstanding works of food history: The Epic History of Macaroni and Cheese (p. 1), which uncovers the surprising stories that made a beloved dish what it is today, and Recipes for the Melting Pot (p. 8), which sheds light on food’s connection to culture through a classic Jewish American cookbook. There is New York City history: From the Skyscraper to the Wildflower (p. 2), about a 1905 photo album of Broadway that shows us a vanished yet somehow recognizable city. Our commitment to popular science that demystifies contentious topics is shown by the launch of the What Science Says series (p. 5). Asian literature in translation has long been one of our most important areas, here exemplified by The Traitor (p. 10), a lesser-known yet major novel by the essential Japanese writer Abe Kōbō. I am also heartened to see so many accomplished authors returning to Columbia. George G. Szpiro tackles what we don’t know in Ignorance (p. 3), Thomas Doherty spotlights early documentaries in How Film Became History (p. 6), and Victor D. Cha continues expert analysis of international affairs in China’s Weaponization of Trade (p. 21). These books remind me why I am so proud to have worked for Columbia, and they fill me with confidence that the future of the press will be even brighter. In order to publish them, we rely on the Columbia University community, the broader university press community, and our readers. Thank you for helping support our books and our mission.

The Epic History of Macaroni and Cheese From Ancient Rome to Modern America KARIMA MOYER-NOCCHI Foreword by Paula J. Johnson DI GG ING INTO T H E S U R PR I S I N G H I STO RY O F A N E V E R POPUL AR D IS H

Today, macaroni and cheese is the ultimate comfort food, a staple of weeknight dinners, family gatherings, and Soul Food restaurants. Yet its history is filled with surprising twists and turns. Renaissance cardinals and popes dined on elaborate pasta-and-cheese concoctions laced with costly spices. In the eighteenth century, wealthy young Englishmen made macaroni a symbol of continental sophistication. Black women, whose contribution has long been overshadowed, played a crucial role in establishing the dish as an American tradition. This book is a delectable history of macaroni and cheese, tracing an extraordinary journey of cultural exchange and social change. Karima Moyer-Nocchi reveals the religious, political, and industrial forces that shaped its evolution alongside stories of the unsung figures who crafted the dish as we know it today: enslaved cooks who preserved and adapted traditions, immigrant chefs who introduced new variations, and practical homemakers looking to nourish their families with an affordable meal. Deeply researched and rich with enticing details, this book uncovers the creativity and resilience that brought a beloved food to our tables. It also shares centuries of recipes—from ancient Roman authors to celebrity chefs—that provide a hands-on way to experience the evolution of this iconic dish.

“Brilliant, indulgent, and impeccably researched. Moyer-Nocchi has crafted the definitive cultural biography of macaroni and cheese, tracing its journey across continents and through centuries with the precision of a historian and the warmth of a devoted cook. As a food scientist who’s never outgrown my love for this dish, I savored every insight into how something so simple became so culturally profound. Whether your interest is scholarly or purely gastronomic, every page in this book immensely satisfies.” —Kantha Shelke, author of Pasta and Noodles: A Global History

KARIMA MOYER-NOCCHI is a culinary historian

specializing in Italian food who teaches at the University of Siena. She is the author of Chewing the Fat: An Oral History of Italian Foodways from Fascism to Dolce Vita (2015) and The Eternal Table: A Cultural History of Food in Rome (2019).

From the Skyscraper to the Wildflower

C. G. Hine’s 1905 Photographic Survey of Broadway NICK YABLON T U R N - O F-THE- C EN TURY P HOTO GRA P HS O F B ROA DWAY T H AT REVEA L A C HA N GI N G C I TY

“Deeply scholarly but highly readable, From the Skyscraper to the Wildflower is an in-depth exploration of a unique and personal historical artifact, offering new insights into the urban history of New York City.” —Joanna Merwood-Salisbury, author of Barbarian Architecture: Thorstein Veblen’s Chicago

Throughout 1905, an amateur photographer dedicated himself to capturing Broadway, from the bottom of Manhattan to the top. In sun, rain, and snow, at dawn and late at night, C. G. Hine depicted buildings that were threatened by rapid development: outmoded stores, hotels, and theaters, as well as workshops and shanties. His survey also foregrounded the street’s other holdouts against change, such as sex workers, pushcart vendors, horses, and the trees and wildflowers of upper Manhattan. Hine ultimately assembled more than three hundred photographs, along with numerous newspaper clippings and a typed essay, into a three-volume album, titled “From the Sky Scraper to the Wild Flower.” Presenting striking images from Hine’s album, this book offers a rare glimpse into the transformation of New York’s built environment at the turn of the twentieth century. Nick Yablon explores Hine’s connections to—and divergences from—movements and trends of the time, such as historic preservation, Pictorialist photography, botany, and bicycling. He curates a selection of Hine’s photographs and investigates how they reveal deeper conflicts and tensions about urban development. From the Skyscraper to the Wildflower guides readers up Broadway block by block, casting light on New York’s changing landscape, where signs of the modern clashed with vestiges of earlier eras.

Ignorance

What We Do Not Know, Cannot Know, Must Not Know, and Refuse to Know GEORGE G. SZPIRO WHAT WE CAN L EAR N FR O M L AC K O F K N OW L E D G E

Does the lack of evidence mean that aliens don’t exist? Why does an unproven mathematical hypothesis have profound consequences? Are humans capable of grasping the nature of divinity? Is it ethical to give a patient a placebo? Why do people persist in demonstrably false beliefs like flat earth theory? Should someone want to know when they will die?

George G. Szpiro examines these questions and many others, offering an engaging and witty tour of what we can learn from ignorance. In a series of fast-paced chapters, he unravels problems ranging across science, mathematics, law, economics, politics, religion, psychology, and philosophy—some esoteric, others drawn from everyday life. Ignorance comes in many forms, Szpiro shows. Some questions are only temporarily unsolved; others are inherently unanswerable. Sometimes authorities keep answers from us, for good or ill. Often our assumptions and biases keep us from overcoming our ignorance, and occasionally we choose to remain ignorant—for surprisingly rational reasons.

“Szpiro returns with a witty, thoughtprovoking exploration of life, history, and the meaning of our existence. Fun to read yet deeply educational, this lively journey through ideas reminds us why books still matter.” —William Eimicke, Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs

Ultimately, Szpiro argues, ignorance is not purely negative. It can motivate the pursuit of learning and wisdom—as long as we acknowledge it. Presenting sophisticated topics in an accessible way, this book shows how ignorance sheds light on the nature of knowledge. GEORGE G. SZPIRO is an author and journalist

who was a longtime correspondent for the Swiss daily Neue Zürcher Zeitung. His previous Columbia University Press books are Risk, Choice, and Uncertainty: Three Centuries of Economic Decision-Making (2020) and Perplexing Paradoxes: Unraveling Enigmas in the World Around Us

Cold-Blooded Murder

Reptiles and Amphibians on the Brink of Extinction CRAIG STANFORD T H E STO RI ES O F SO ME O F THE WO RLD’ S MOST T H R E ATEN ED REP TI LES A N D A MP HI B I A N S

Around the world, many reptile and amphibian species—from the iconic Komodo dragon to the unglamorous Telfair’s skink—are facing grave threats. For many, like the Belalanda chameleon of Madagascar and Mexico’s beloved axolotls, habitat destruction due to logging, agriculture, and development poses the greatest peril. Some, such as Galápagos giant tortoises, have been slaughtered wholesale by humans. Others, like Caribbean rock iguanas, have been driven to the brink of extinction by the introduction of new species to their island homes. Commercial exploitation is another risk to animals like the ploughshare tortoise, in high demand in the global black market pet trade. Still more, like Yosemite toads, face new threats as climate change accelerates.

“Cold-Blooded Murder is a beautifully written series of accounts about the rarest and most fascinating reptiles and amphibians on the planet, written by a well-known authority on the world’s turtles and tortoises.

Craig Stanford tells the captivating stories of dozens of endangered reptiles and amphibians, depicting the ecological roles and unique characteristics of each species. He takes readers on a globe-spanning journey, revealing the diversity and beauty of the creatures with whom we share our world. Stanford also highlights conservation projects that are protecting critically endangered animals, sharing inspiring success stories while acknowledging the difficulty of saving species. This gripping and poignant book shows why we should be fascinated by reptiles and amphibians—and strive to prevent their extinction.

I highly recommend it as a great natural history read.” —Russell A. Mittermeier, chief conservation officer, Re:wild

What Science Says is a collection of short books about subjects that are rife with misinformation and apparent controversy in public discourse but have a clear scientific consensus. Written by recognized experts in each field, these works are aimed at interested general readers. The books reveal the cultural and historical context in which disputed claims emerged, how they were scientifically tested, and what the results were.

What Science Says About Astrology CARLOS ORSI

U N D ER STAND ING T HE A PPE A L O F T H E WO R L D ’ S OL D EST S UP ER ST IT IO N

For thousands of years, people have believed that the configuration of stars and planets in the sky influences earthly events. Today, astrology is a lucrative global market, with newspaper columns, mobile apps, and professional counselors weighing in on everything from love life to health to the stock market. Yet scientific evidence shows indisputably that it is simply superstition. Why does astrology appeal to so many people? What makes its prognostications seem persuasive? Is there any harm to believing in astrology anyway?

This book aims a scientific lens at astrology, from its colorful history to experimental tests of its predictions through the social and psychological factors that explain its enduring popularity. Carlos Orsi explores the importance of astrology to the history of science and the reasons it has been categorized as a pseudoscience. He investigates its tenets, recounting how scientists debunked common claims. With both empathy and skepticism, Orsi illuminates the psychological, rhetorical, and emotional mechanisms that cause people to find astrological predictions convincing. He also addresses the dangers of irrational beliefs and the risks of applying astrology to serious decisions. Wide-ranging and entertaining, this book offers a critical look at the modern appeal of an ancient superstition.

“In this concise yet thoroughly authoritative volume, Carlos Orsi presents everything you need to know about the science of astrology. An entertaining and well-written account ranging from its ancient beginnings to its modern forms.” —Stuart Vyse, author of Believing in Magic: The Psychology of Superstition

How Film Became History

The Rise of the Archival Documentary in 1930s America THOMAS DOHERTY T H E E A RLY DO C UMEN TA RI ES THAT RESHA P ED O UR PE R C E P TI O N O F WHAT FI LM CA N DO

By the 1930s, filmmakers had access to a backlog of footage from around thirty years of motion pictures, allowing them to create a new kind of film stitched together from the raw material of older films. At the same time, the transition to synchronous sound added a transformative new element to the grammar of cinema: the voiceover narration. Together, the film inventory and offscreen commentary gave rise to the archival documentary, the motion picture genre that preserves and rewinds history. “A richly detailed excavation of the forgotten documentaries of the 1930s—films that shaped culture, politics, and history in ways still felt today. Thomas Doherty once again proves himself a master historian of American cinema.” —Chris Yogerst, author, columnist, and media historian

Thomas Doherty tells the story of the archival documentary, spotlighting the first films that set out deliberately to preserve history on screen. He shows how newsreels and documentaries challenged the era’s restrictive censorship and how film began to engage with the great political issues of the day. Doherty considers a range of films—some well-known, others obscure—including J. Stuart Blackton’s The Film Parade (1933), Laurence Stallings and Truman Talley’s The First World War (1934), Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr.’s Hitler’s Reign of Terror (1934), Max Eastman and Herbert Axelbank’s Tsar to Lenin (1937), and the March of Time screen magazine. Tracing the creation of the archival documentary, How Film Became History illuminates how motion pictures have come to shape our vision of the past. THOMAS DOHERTY is professor of American studies at Brandeis Uni-

versity. His previous Columbia University Press books include Hollywood and Hitler, 1933–1939 (2013); Show Trial: Hollywood, HUAC, and the Birth of the Blacklist (2018); and Little Lindy Is Kidnapped: How the Media Covered the Crime of the Century (2020).

I Hear Freedom

The Great Migration, Free Jazz, and Black Power CISCO BRADLEY Foreword by Gabriel Jermaine Vanlandingham-Dunn AN O R AL H ISTORY O F T H E R O OTS O F FR E E JA ZZ

Around the 1960s, a musical revolution took place in the industrial landscapes of Cleveland and Detroit. Disenchanted with the strictures of bebop, musicians forged a new style—free jazz—that took inspiration from a vast range of sources, including figures such as Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, and John Coltrane; African and Middle Eastern music; avantgarde modernism; and the politics and aesthetics of Black Power. How did this radical movement come about, and what explains its creativity and vitality?

Based on interviews with dozens of musicians, I Hear Freedom tells the story of free jazz and its connection to the broader Black experience. Cisco Bradley demonstrates that free jazz is deeply rooted in the musical traditions and aesthetics that the Great Migration brought from the South. As postwar urban renewal projects fractured Black communities, musicians drew on this heritage to create new forms of expression. Figures such as Albert Ayler, Donald Ayler, Charles Tyler, Frank Wright, Bobby Few, Charles Moore, and Faruq Z. Bey developed distinct artistic visions, often influenced by their involvement in Black liberation movements. I Hear Freedom chronicles the Cleveland and Detroit free jazz scenes, and it follows musicians to New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and beyond. A revelatory oral history, this book shows that free jazz is a uniquely Black style shaped by mobility, community, and the struggle for freedom. CISCO BRADLEY is professor of history at the Pratt Institute. His books

include The Williamsburg Avant-Garde: Experimental Music and Sound

“Cisco Bradley guides readers through an alternative, ethnographic model of jazz—and thus American music—history. Other jazz scholars posit linear genealogies, with musicians/composers evolving out of past styles and artists; Bradley instead situates Black improvising musicians/composers within their familial, community, and professional networks. With extensive and unprecedented archival research, Bradley reveals how migratory movement drove free jazz’s experimentalist praxis and how encounters made along the journey culminated in art.” —Kwami Coleman, author of Change: The New Thing and Modern Jazz

Recipes for the Melting Pot

The Lives of The Settlement Cook Book NORA L. RUBEL A M E RI CA N J EWI SH WO MEN ' S LI VES AS REFLEC TED T H R O U GH A P EREN N I A LLY P O P ULA R CO O K BO O K

“For someone obsessed with ‘The Settlement’ since childhood, Rubel’s book is a dream come true, answering my every question about the life of Lizzie Black Kander, the juxtaposition of kosher and treyf, the provenance of the recipes, and the community and society in which the book came forth and flourished.” —Bonnie Slotnick, owner of Bonnie Slotnick Cookbooks

“In this well-written and thoroughly researched book, Rubel provides a new perspective on American Jewish life through the lens of a widely used yet rarely studied volume: The Settlement Cook Book.” —Rebecca Alpert, professor of religion emerita, Temple University

In 1901, Lizzie Black Kander put together a cookbook based on the classes she taught at the Milwaukee Jewish Mission. “I was trying to teach a group of young foreign girls in a crowded neighborhood how to cook simple and nutritious food, yet have it attractive and inexpensive as we prepare it in America,” she recalled. The Settlement Cook Book would go on to be the most successful charitable cookbook in American history, remaining a bestseller into the 1970s. Despite including nonkosher recipes, it became a mainstay in Jewish kitchens and an enduring touchstone of Jewish American culture.

Recipes for the Melting Pot tells the remarkable story of The Settlement Cook Book, demonstrating how it shaped Jewish American identity—and was in turn shaped by generations of Jewish women. Nora L. Rubel traces the cookbook’s evolution across forty editions over several decades, through waves of immigration, shifting gender roles, upward mobility, suburbanization, and rapid changes in Jewish life. She argues that the book celebrates pluralism, allowing it to serve at once as a tool for Americanization, a repository of tradition, and a platform for culinary innovation. Ultimately, The Settlement Cook Book is a record of American Jewish women’s history, told through the food they made and the lives they led. A cultural biography of an iconic cookbook, this lively and inviting book shares an inclusive vision of American cuisine. NORA L. RUBEL is the Elizabeth Denio Professor

in Jewish Studies at the University of Rochester. She is the author of Doubting the Devout: The Ultra-Orthodox in the Jewish American Imagination (Columbia, 2009), as well as coeditor of Religion, Food, and Eating in North America (Columbia,

On Taste

In Humans and Other Animals DAVIDE RISSO AND GABRIELLA MORINI Translated by Elettra Pauletto AN E NGAGING EXAM I N AT I O N O F TAST E A N D FL AVO R BY TWO EXP ERT S C IENTI STS

Are there only five tastes, sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami? Why are some so appealing while others are what we call acquired tastes? Do other animals perceive tastes in the same way humans do? How did the sense of taste evolve? Should the hotness of chili peppers, the coolness of mint, and the pungency of garlic be considered tastes? What can taste teach us about our health and our environment?

In this book, two leading researchers take readers on a lively journey through the science of taste. Davide Risso and Gabriella Morini trace its evolution across millions of years, ranging from microbes to octopuses through birds and finally humans. They explain how taste receptors allow us to decode the chemical composition of food and distinguish between edible and toxic items. Evolution has given varied species different capabilities, so pandas lack the ability to taste umami and cats do not perceive sweetness. On Taste also reveals how mosquitoes choose their prey—and why they like some people more than others. Rigorous and accessible, this book shows how taste unlocks the connections between science and culture, letting us understand our foods and our world more richly.

“A fascinating and beautifully detailed study, On Taste combines scientific rigor with genuine curiosity. Risso and Morini reveal the intricate ways our senses connect us to the world, offering insights that will intrigue food lovers and science enthusiasts alike.” —Demet Güzey, author of Mustard: A Global History

DAVIDE RISSO is a molecular biologist who specializes in taste and

nutrition science. He received a PhD from the University of Bologna, and he has held research roles for major international food companies. GABRIELLA MORINI is assistant professor of taste and food sciences at

the University of Gastronomic Sciences of Pollenzo, Italy, and scientific director of the Pollenzo Food Lab. She is also a visiting scientist in the Department of Food Science at the University of Copenhagen. $22.00* / £17.99 cloth 978-0-231-22129-0 APRIL

The Traitor A Novel

ABE KŌBŌ Translated by Mark Gibeau A N OV EL A BO UT THE P I TFA LLS O F LOYA LTY BY A N I CO N IC JA PA N ESE WRI TER

“Abe Kōbō’s novels were prescient . . . and they still are. What could be more timely for us than this prescient historical novel in a masterful translation!” —Roger Pulvers, author of My Japan: A Cultural Memoir

In postwar Japan, a writer meets a small-town innkeeper who is obsessed with a tale from the nineteenth century. He relates the saga of Enomoto Takeaki, an admiral in the final years of the Tokugawa shogunate who regained authority under the Meiji government. A former member of imperial Japan’s military police, the innkeeper dwells on the question of loyalty even as he struggles with his responsibility for the arrest and murder of his brother-in-law during the war. Later, he sends the writer a mysterious manuscript purporting to be the account of a peddler turned samurai whom Enomoto betrayed.

Part historical fiction, part detective story, The Traitor is a remarkable novel about navigating changing political landscapes by one of the most significant modern Japanese writers. In his only historical novel, Abe Kōbō turns to a pivotal moment in Japan’s past to explore profound questions about the nature of loyalty and the choices that people must make when they encounter forces beyond their control or understanding.

Eyes of the Sky

SYAMAN RAPONGAN Translated by Kyle Shernuk A VIV ID LY WR IT T EN M U LT I G E N E R AT I O N A L E CO LO G I CA L I N DI GENOUS NOV EL

Syaman Rapongan is a chronicler of his people, the Tao, an Indigenous community who live on Orchid Island near the island of Taiwan. In Eyes of the Sky, he invites readers to learn the ways of this oceanic world—and to learn to see their own worlds anew through a Tao lens.

Employing oral storytelling conventions, Eyes of the Sky opens by recounting the history of the Tao, from their mythic origins to the present day. Its first chapter is narrated by a giant trevally, a fish common to the waters around Orchid Island. It then tells the stories of three generations of a single family—father, son, and grandson—exploring the transformation of Tao society through their encounters with Han-Taiwanese modernity.

Syaman Rapongan paints a vivid picture of his homeland—its mountains and seas, flora and fauna, climate and ecology—as well as local culture and customs. In describing fishing practices, canoe building, and conversations with friends from his village, he illustrates the Tao’s ecological worldview, lived experience, and struggle to preserve their culture. Written in conversational prose with evocative detail, this book is a powerful testament to how Indigenous people and stories persevere. SYAMAN RAPONGAN is an acclaimed Tao writer who lives on Pongso

no Tao or Orchid Island. He is the author of many books, including Eyes of the Ocean, published in English translation by Columbia University

“The translation of Syaman Rapongan’s Eyes of the Sky at last allows Anglophone readers to see one of the most important Indigenous works of literature from the western Pacific. This is a universal tale of devotions and regrets, songs and stories, about multispecies interdependence, generational continuities, Indigenous-settler relations, and the wondrous moments where flying fish scales shimmer like stars that are the eyes of the sky.” —Shu-mei Shih, coeditor of Indigenous Knowledge in Taiwan and Beyond

Press. Syaman Rapongan is a tireless advocate for Tao culture, an expert diver, and a master canoe carver. KYLE SHERNUK is assistant professor of modern Chinese literature and

culture at Georgetown University.

Letting Grief Speak

Writing Portals for Life After Loss DIANE ZINNA A PR O MP T- BASED GUI DE TO WRI TI N G A BO UT LOSS

Society doesn’t always make it easy to tell stories about loss. Grief can make us feel that we have crossed over to another side, where people can’t reach us and we can’t reach others. We’re encouraged to move quickly through the often-misunderstood “stages of grief ”; we fear that we are burdening others with our pain. But pain can feel more manageable when we find ways to describe it—and writing about grief can help us connect with others who have felt pain of their own.

Letting Grief Speak is a creative writing craft book on the art of telling our hardest stories. Based on a class called Grief Writing Sundays that Diane Zinna has led for several years, it provides ninety writing prompts with accompanying craft techniques to help people find language for their grief. By turns gentle, unexpected, rebellious, and wonderfully strange, these prompts open portals: entryways into spaces where difficult emotions can become meaningful narratives. Warm, sensitive, and honest, Letting Grief Speak is a memoir of the craft, interwoven with stories from the author’s own life. It also includes pieces from acclaimed writers and more than forty of her Grief Writing students, inviting readers to find their own ways to tell vulnerable stories. A tool for writers and a companion for grievers, this book meets writers of all levels where they are, no matter what kind of grief they hold.

“Letting Grief Speak is a gentle, careful, solid guide for anyone approaching the work of writing loss. Zinna collects stories, her own and others, and provides writing portals to help people communicate their grief. She pushes back against the idea that we are isolated in our sorrow, teaching us how to make our stories both personal and universal.” —Eiren Caffall, author of The Mourner’s Bestiary

Interracial Marriage

How Diverse Couples Navigate Relationships in a Divided Time GEOFFREY L. GREIF, VICTORIA D. STUBBS, AND MICHAEL E. WOOLLEY A LA R GE- S CAL E ST U DY O F CO N T E M PO R A RY I N TER R AC IAL R EL ATI O N S H I PS

The rate of interracial marriage in the United States has steadily increased: One in six new marriages now crosses racial or ethnic lines. Yet these partnerships are not always embraced or even accepted by families, friends, and society. Within families, issues ranging from food and holiday traditions to parenting approaches and beliefs about gender roles sometimes must be negotiated between cultures. In a time of national division, questions of race and identity have become deeply fraught.

This book—based on interviews with and surveys of hundreds of people and informed by the authors’ many decades of experience as therapists and researchers—explores how intermarried couples build lives together. People of varied backgrounds describe how they navigate a world where others wonder about their relationship, question the parentage of their children, and treat them differently from their partner based on their appearance. They speak candidly about the joys and challenges of raising mixed-race children. Many of these couples have strengthened their relationships by learning to communicate across cultural barriers, and they share strategies for overcoming misunderstandings. At once large-scale and intimate, this book offers practical advice and timely insight into the triumphs and struggles of love across lines of difference.

“This book’s key strength is its big heart. Interracial Marriage is a compassionate exploration of a topic that many might wish to ignore or gloss over. Drawing on therapeutic expertise and lived experience, the authors offer strategies that will benefit readers dealing with differences in close relationships as well as readers interested in race and ethnic relationships in American society.” —Pam Sheff, Johns Hopkins University

Socially Wired

How Culture Shapes Our Brains MATTHEW W. SCHELKE W H AT N EURO LO GY REVEA LS A BO UT C ULTURA L E X PE RI EN C E

From birth, our brains are shaped by other people— in our families, schools, workplaces, neighborhoods, countries, and cultures. These social worlds make us who we are, but how this process works remains mysterious on a neural level.

“Socially Wired reimagines neurological processes as a deeply cultural experience, blending science and imagination to reveal how our understanding of the brain is shaped by the societies we live in—and how culture itself can transform the way we think about our minds.” —Daniel Yon, Birkbeck, University of London

In Socially Wired, Matthew W. Schelke uses the stories of patients with neurological illness to show how social and cultural environments transform the brain. In the neurology clinic, the experiences of patients with the same illness can vary tremendously depending on their backgrounds, providing a window onto the complex interactions between brain and culture. Through cases ranging from an amateur chef who suddenly stopped cooking to an art lover who was removed from a gallery for touching the art, Schelke explores what neurological injury can reveal about social and cultural behavior. He demonstrates how specific practices—shared emotion, apprenticeship learning, imagination, language, art, and collective memory—shape neural networks, the experiences of patients, and ultimately our encultured minds.

Going beyond neuroscience, Socially Wired integrates insights from anthropology to philosophy to ecological psychology. Highlighting patient stories, this book illuminates how the brain wires us to participate in culture and how, in turn, culture rewires the brain. MATTHEW W. SCHELKE is a general neurologist at Columbia University

Irving Medical Center and the Neurological Institute of New York, where he sees patients with a wide range of neurological illnesses. He has published articles on the connections between neurology, neuroscience, and social and cultural life.

The World Inside Your Head How Perceptions Build Society

CHARLES MAURER AND DAPHNE MAURER U N D ER STAND ING T HE N E U R A L M E C H A N I S M S T H AT S H AP E P SYC H OLOGY A N D S O C I ET Y

To socialize, your brain needs to see and hear other people, yet it is sealed inside a bony box: your skull. How does an internal mass of tissue comprehend the world outside? How does it form social relationships? This groundbreaking book answers those questions and reveals the perceptual underpinnings of society. Charles and Daphne Maurer provide a clear explanation of how the brain interprets sensory inputs, showing how rudimentary sensations evolve into social interactions at every scale from nursery to nation. Their novel approach shows how sights, sounds, and smells build social and political worlds. They offer fresh insights into broad swaths of the social sciences.

The World Inside Your Head brings science to life, interweaving cutting-edge research with eyeopening examples across cultures and eras. Its style is lively and free of jargon, yet its argument is rigorous and scholarly. It is an accessible and iconoclastic rethinking of conventional psychology. CHARLES MAURER is a science writer whose work includes two other

Nietzsche

Anti-Philosophy 1 ALAIN BADIOU Translated by Bruno Bosteels with Susan Spitzer Introduction by Bruno Bosteels AL AIN BAD IOU’S H IG H LY O R I G I N A L R E A D I N G OF N IETZS C H E

For Alain Badiou, Friedrich Nietzsche is the “prince” of anti-philosophy. French leftist thinkers celebrated Nietzsche in the second half of the twentieth century, but when a backlash emerged in the 1990s, Badiou refused to join the attack. Instead, Badiou devoted his 1992–1993 seminar to an astonishingly original reading of Nietzsche—to whom he had previously shown indifference or scorn—in which he appears almost enamored with the author of The Anti-Christ and Ecce Homo. This book presents Badiou’s seminar on Nietzsche’s late works, which for the first time addresses what would become one of his central concepts: antiphilosophy and its adversarial yet intimate relationship with philosophy. For Badiou, Nietzsche is the key modern anti-philosopher, his antagonist—and occasional ally—in the battle to redefine the work of philosophy. Badiou takes for granted Nietzsche’s declaration that “God is dead,” yet he rejects Nietzsche’s assertion that philosophy too is past its expiration date. Badiou engages a century-long tradition of grappling with Nietzsche’s paradoxes, considering thinkers such as Heidegger, Deleuze, and Derrida. Examining Nietzsche’s impassioned writings on Wagner, he reflects on the nature of art and aesthetics. Provocative and profound, this seminar shows Badiou’s ongoing project of reasserting the value of philosophy from a new angle.

“This book supplies a completely novel interpretation of the importance of Nietzsche’s philosophy for the contemporary world. In Badiou’s examination of his late writings, Nietzsche ceases to be just a worthy antagonist for Badiou’s thought and becomes instead a valuable ally in his philosophical project. What emerges here is a breathtaking exploration of Nietzsche that departs from all the received wisdom.” —Todd McGowan, author of Pure Excess: Capitalism and the Commodity

ALAIN BADIOU is one of the most important philosophers of our time.

He is emeritus professor of philosophy at the École normale supérieure in Paris. His seminars published by Columbia University Press include Images of the Present Time (2023) and Parmenides (2025).

Gianni Vattimo

Philosopher, Communist, Catholic, Nihilist THOMAS JARED FARMER T H E F I RST I N TELLEC TUA L B I O GRA P HY O F I TA LI A N PH I LOSO P HER O F RELI GI O N GI A N N I VATTI MO

“Gianni Vattimo’s thought continues to inform some of the most important discussions of contemporary philosophy and religion. With this groundbreaking intellectual biography, Farmer provides not only a comprehensive overview of Vattimo’s life and work but also an insightful interpretive analysis. You can’t really know Vattimo unless you read it.” —Clayton Crockett, University of Central Arkansas and Global Centre for Advanced Studies

Gianni Vattimo (1936–2023) was among the most significant Italian philosophers of the last fifty years. A controversial figure both at home and abroad, he sometimes described himself paradoxically as a “nihilist” and as a “communist Catholic.” Despite his provocations—and unusually for an academic philosopher—he served two terms in the European Parliament. For decades, Vattimo was at the forefront of developments in continental philosophy, spanning hermeneutics, postmodernity, and the “return to religion.” Drawing on the work of figures such as Heidegger, Marx, Nietzsche, Gadamer, Rorty, and Kuhn, Vattimo constructed his signature concept of “weak thought,” a way of approaching the persistent problems of ideology, violence, and social division after the so-called end of metaphysics.

In this book, Thomas Jared Farmer provides a groundbreaking examination of Vattimo’s life and work. He considers the distinctive contributions that Vattimo made to postmodern thought as well as to recent debates in political philosophy and religion. This book provides an accessible introduction to Vattimo’s overall philosophical project while also contextualizing it through discussions of important intellectual figures, key events in Italian history, and details about his personal trajectory. Authoritative and comprehensive, it is an indispensable companion to the works of one of the most original thinkers to emerge in the second half of the twentieth century.

Jürgen Habermas

Public Intellectual and Engaged Critical Theorist PETER J. VEROVŠEK U N D ER STAND ING J Ü R G E N H A BE R M AS T H R O U G H H I S WRI TING FOR T H E P U BL I C

Jürgen Habermas is Germany’s most important postwar philosopher, the leading figure of the Frankfurt School in this period. He is best known for the concept of the public sphere, which forms the basis of his communicative understanding of democratic politics. Habermas has not only theorized the public sphere—he has also taken part in it through frequent commentary on current social, political, and cultural issues. Yet since Habermas’s extensive public-facing writings have been overlooked, his philosophy has often been criticized as apolitical.

This book transforms our understanding of Habermas by focusing on his work as a public intellectual, showing how he has shaped debates far beyond the ivory tower. Peter J. Verovšek argues that while Habermas maintains a strict separation between his academic and his public-facing writings, these two aspects of his work are part of a consistent whole. The book highlights the development of Habermas’s views over time and the changing nature of his interventions. Verovšek sheds light on the interrelationship between Habermas’s participation in the public sphere and his theoretical work, demonstrating that his political engagement is crucial to understanding his philosophy. In a moment when public debate is under threat, this book offers timely new insight into Habermas’s lifelong project of defending the public sphere—both in theory and in practice.

“This book is an extraordinary accomplishment, bringing together nearly seven decades of Habermas’s journalistic writings with his theoretical work to cast new light on both. Drawing on Habermas’s newly collected archives, Verovšek illuminates Habermas’s unique understanding of the public intellectual as a democratic citizen who is at once an irritant to public discourse and a synthesizer of inchoate cultural and social trends.” —Seyla Benhabib, professor emerita, Yale University, and senior research scholar, Columbia Law School

The Language of Terrorists

Distinguishing Trolls from Violent Extremists JULIA EBNER W H E N DO ES O N LI N E HATE SP EEC H LEA D TO REA LWO R LD VI O LEN C E?

If someone posts a death threat or a violent manifesto online, will they cross over from words to deeds? Explicit threats, intimidation campaigns, and incitements to violence are no rarity among white nationalists, incels, and other racist and misogynist extremists. Yet it is often difficult to determine whether they pose genuine risks, since the boundaries between trolling and true violent intent can be blurry. How can we tell the difference between online bluster and terrorist threats? “When is a joke just a joke, and when might it signal the next attack? Combining the rigors of anthropology and data analysis with a steely eye on multiple unfolding terrorist threats, Julia Ebner breaks new ground in separating the signal from the noise. Essential reading for threat analysts everywhere.” —John Horgan, author of Terrorist Minds: The Psychology of Violent Extremism from Al-Qaeda to the Far Right

Julia Ebner—an internationally acclaimed expert on online radicalization—offers a fresh approach, showing how language patterns reveal the potential for political violence. She investigates the psychological underpinnings of texts by terrorists such as Anders Breivik, Dylann Roof, Elliot Rodger, and Brenton Tarrant, offering statistical and qualitative contrasts with nonviolent political writing. Ebner finds striking similarities among their manifestos, including the fusion of personal identity with the group, visceral othering of outgroups, narratives of existential conflict, and the glorification of violence. Following these trails, she demonstrates that perpetrators of extremist violence inadvertently give away their intentions in what they say. Featuring vivid writing and actionable conclusions, The Language of Terrorists presents a new model of violent threat detection that can address pressing challenges faced by the international security and intelligence communities.

China’s Weaponization of Trade Resistance Through Collective Resilience

VICTOR D. CHA, ELLEN KIM, AND ANDY LIM H OW COUNT R IES CA N R E S I ST E CO N O M I C CO E R C I O N

In recent years, China and the United States have each turned economic interdependence into an instrument of coercion, using their dominant positions in international trade to push states and firms to comply with their political goals. What is distinctive about this form of economic pressure, and how can other countries fight back? This groundbreaking book explores the weaponization of economic interdependence and its implications for the international order through a wealth of new and original data on China’s economic statecraft. Victor D. Cha, Ellen Kim, and Andy Lim examine how and in what ways the United States and China have deployed economic coercion, focusing on China’s extensive use of this tactic over the past three decades. They analyze a vast data set that includes more than 600 cases of China’s economic bullying of states, companies, and individuals in North America, Asia, and Europe. Cha, Kim, and Lim propose a multilateral strategy of “collective resilience” to counter intimidation, showing how targeted states can band together, leverage trading relationships, and threaten retaliation. Synthesizing new insights from unique trade data with international security expertise, this timely book sheds new light on how China exercises economic power—and it provides a playbook to deter bullies and rebalance the global order.

VICTOR D. CHA is Distinguished University Professor and D. S. Song-KF

“Cha, Kim, and Lim have provided a fascinating account of how China has used its vast and intertwined trade networks to advance its own interests—and use these same commercial ties to undermine the industries and businesses of its global rivals. They also offer essential recommendations about how likeminded nations can band together to create collective resilience in the face of China’s sustained challenge.” —Kurt M.

Song Jiaoren

A Republican Revolutionary and the Fate of Democracy in China DON C. PRICE T H E LI FE, WO RK , A N D TRAGI C DEATH O F A LI TTLEK N OW N C HI N ESE LEA DER

“This book is a testament to Price’s encyclopedic knowledge of Song Jiaoren: the man, his family, and the intellectual and political milieux to which he belonged.” —Brian Tsui, author of China’s Conservative Revolution: The Quest for a New Order, 1927–1949

Song Jiaoren (1882–1913) was early-twentiethcentury China’s greatest champion of constitutional democracy. Fleeing the police after a failed plot in 1904, the young revolutionary found refuge in Japan, where his eyes were opened to new political possibilities. Along with Sun Yatsen, he was one of the founders of the Nationalist Party, turning an underground organization into a nationwide force. After the 1911 revolution, Song campaigned for a truly democratic constitution guaranteeing a representative government. Following parliamentary elections in 1913, on the verge of becoming prime minister, he was struck down by an assassin’s bullet on a Shanghai railway platform, and China began its descent into chaos and authoritarianism.

Don C. Price provides the definitive biography of Song Jiaoren, recounting his remarkable career and illuminating a period of epochal change. Drawing on a wide variety of sources—especially his revealing diary—this book chronicles Song’s life and times, interweaving his personal relationships with his revolutionary activities and intellectual development. From his early life in a rural interior province to his Japanese exile through his meteoric ascent and tragic death, it explores how Song became an unwavering advocate for democracy—and why antidemocratic forces sought to eliminate him. By detailing Song’s legacy, this book sheds light on the roots of democratic aspirations in China and on the path not taken in the country’s tumultuous history. DON C.

Black Arts, Black Muslims Islam in the Black Freedom Struggle ELLEN M c LARNEY TH E FOUNDAT IONAL R O L E O F I S L A M I N T H E BL ACK ARTS M OV EM ENT

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, prominent figures in the Black Arts Movement (BAM) converted to Islam and took new names. Poets such as Amiri Baraka, Sonia Sanchez, Askia Muhammad Touré, and Marvin X incorporated Islamic words and expressions, references to the Qur’an, and Arabic script, as well as symbols like the crescent star and depictions of Islamic architecture and clothing. They connected places like Harlem, Chicago, Newark, and Oakland to locales in the Muslim world such as Timbuktu, Songhai, and Mecca. These artists also played a pivotal role in developing Black studies and creating alternatives to the Eurocentrism of the American educational system.

Ellen McLarney explores how BAM writers identified with Islam as integral to the African American cultural, spiritual, and intellectual heritage. Examining poetry, visual art, music, drama, and mixed-media collaborations, she traces the emergence of a new kind of Islamic art rooted in the African American experience. Their works protested scientific racism, police brutality, colonial domination, and economic oppression while resurrecting a suppressed Islamic past and sharing spiritual visions of a new kind of future. Based on interviews, fieldwork, archival research, and close analysis of key works, this book reveals how BAM redefined Black art, Islamic poetics, and Black Muslim aesthetics in the struggle for racial justice.

“McLarney uniquely and adeptly places multiple versions and interpretations of Islam, and selfidentified Muslims, at the core of the Black Arts Movement and related movements. All future scholarship on not just the Black Arts Movement but also Black studies and Black Power will have to contend with Black Arts, Black Muslims.” —Michael O. West, coeditor of From Toussaint to Tupac: The Black International SInce the Age of Revolution

ELLEN M c LARNEY is associate professor of Middle East, Arabic, and

African and African American studies at Duke University. She led a project on Muslim American poets and musicians of African descent with the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art as well as an initiative on Islam and racial justice in the American South. She has also published in Souls, The Black Scholar, and Black Perspectives.

The Lowest Freedom

Racial Capitalism and Black Thought in the Nineteenth Century JUSTIN LEROY H OW THE B LAC K RA DI CA L TRA DI TI O N EX P LO RED THE L I M I TS O F FREEDO M UN DER CA P I TA LI SM

Throughout the nineteenth century, Black thinkers grappled with the material limits of freedom. They insisted that emancipation without economic selfdetermination would reproduce the inequalities of slavery, arguing that true freedom required not only civil rights and suffrage but also defending the rights of workers and curbing the power of capital. They concluded that free Black life could not flourish in conditions of labor exploitation and economic deprivation. “Through its unique excavations of the Black radical tradition’s critiques of US freedom, The Lowest Freedom provides a radical rethinking of Black freedom and racial capitalism in the nineteenth-century United States.” —Zach Sell, author of Trouble of the World: Slavery and Empire in the Age of Capital

The Lowest Freedom is an intellectual history of how economic dispossession shaped the meaning of freedom in Black thought from antebellum abolitionism to the rise of Jim Crow. Justin Leroy argues that figures such as Frederick Douglass, T. Thomas Fortune, Maria Stewart, David Walker, and Ida B. Wells developed a critique of racial capitalism that remains underappreciated. Their theories spanned the eras of slavery and freedom, connecting the North and the South, by illuminating the political economy of racial domination and the interwoven relationship between race and capitalism. By situating their work within broader debates about land, labor, and capital, Leroy provides a new framework for understanding how freedom was theorized, contested, and ultimately constrained in the aftermath of slavery. Bridging Black studies, intellectual history, and the history of capitalism, The Lowest Freedom offers a reinterpretation of African American political thought that places the struggle for economic justice at its core.

Coding Capitalism

Computers and the Remaking of the Postwar US Economy DEVIN KENNEDY TH E COM P UT ER ’ S R O L E I N U S CA PI TA L I S M

Long before Google, Amazon, or Microsoft, computer technology shaped how people worked, how markets operated, and how businesses became big. After World War II, military officials and their partners in industry looked to the newly invented electronic computer as they sought to cut costs, speed up labor, manage supply chains, and—they hoped—bring stability to the postwar economy. Their efforts would shape early computer science and the first applications of computer technology in manufacturing and business, with profound consequences for workers and managers alike. By the 1960s, practices originally developed to improve industrial efficiency were being used by Wall Street. Digital technology became central to finance, tying together far-flung trading floors and automating decision making—with alarming consequences, including the 1987 Black Monday crash.

Devin Kennedy offers a new history of the digital economy, showing how the computer emerged from—and transformed—capitalism in the United States. He traces how computer science and technology were made by industry, which molded computation to manage factories, financial markets, and entire firms. Drawing on the archives of businesses, computer researchers, regulators, and financial institutions, Coding Capitalism retells the story of the postwar economy and the computer, revealing how midcentury business laid the foundations of the digital world. Bridging business and economic history with the history of science and technology, this book uncovers the prehistory of big tech and demonstrates how capitalism has shaped computing since its invention.

“Coding Capitalism is a remarkable achievement: an impressive, synthetic overview of forty years of computational practices in industry, management science, and finance. For historians of computing, business, and finance, this book will connect many dots.” —Paul N. Edwards, author of A Vast Machine: Computer Models, Climate Data, and the Politics of Global Warming

Our Viral Futures

A Political Ecology of Microbes CHARLOTTE BRIVES Foreword by Bruno Latour A N E W CO URSE FO R HUMA N RELATI O N SHI P S WI TH THE M I C R O B I O LO GI CA L WO RLD

Increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics is one of today’s greatest threats to public health. Yet a possible solution has emerged from a surprising source. Phage therapy deploys viruses called bacteriophages, “bacteria eaters,” to treat infections. What concerns—both biological and social—arise from using viruses in this way? What does phage therapy reveal about the links between humans and microbes? “How shall we best live with viruses? This fascinating book tells the story of bacteriophages, therapeutically promising viruses that kill—or reenergize—bacteria. Emerging only in the relation, they challenge regulatory boards even as they open mysteries at the borders between life and nonlife. Brives draws us into both challenge and mystery.” —Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, coauthor of Field Guide to the Patchy Anthropocene: The New Nature

In Our Viral Futures, Charlotte Brives examines the development and implications of this therapy, providing new ways to understand our interconnections with the microbial world. Considering patients seeking treatment for chronic infections, the establishment of new regulatory frameworks, and the processes of laboratory research and clinical trials, she highlights the complexity and variety of the relationships among humans, phages, and bacteria. Brives places phage therapy in the context of the widespread use of antibiotics under industrial capitalism, which has enabled ecologically devastating forms of mass production and consumption. She argues that the connections between human societies and microbial communities defy the usual categories through which science and medicine understand the world, giving rise to new moral and political questions. Interdisciplinary and nuanced, Our Viral Futures poses a provocative challenge: Instead of continuing to assert that we can control and master microbes, we must learn to coexist with them. CHARLOTTE BRIVES is an anthropologist of science and biomedicine.

She is director of research at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS).

Intertwined Creatures

The Embodied Cognitive Science of Self and Other ANTHONY CHEMERO WHY T H E S EL F IS F U N DA M E N TA L LY S O CI A L

In one common view, the mind is immaterial, internal, and invisible. From this perspective, the mind is inherently individual and isolated: It is unknowable from the outside, separated from the world and from other minds. Anthony Chemero—both a philosopher and a cognitive scientist—offers a powerful challenge to this theory of mind. Bringing together philosophical insight and empirical data, he develops a new understanding of the mind that centers embodiment and social interaction.

According to Chemero, the mind is intertwined with the world: It depends on the body, the surrounding environment, and the people with whom an individual interacts. He shows that cutting-edge research in cognitive science provides striking experimental evidence for this concept of the intertwined self. Chemero explores the philosophical, moral, and political implications of the claim that the self is necessarily interwoven with the world and with others, drawing connections to phenomenology, critical theory, and feminist political theory. Deeply interdisciplinary and engagingly written, Intertwined Creatures makes an urgent case for seeing the self as social—especially in the age of AI—with radical consequences for ethics and politics. ANTHONY CHEMERO is University Distinguished

Research Professor of Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Cincinnati. He is the author

“In an age where AI is the zeitgeist, the individual brain is a computer, and thinking is computation, Anthony Chemero provides a compelling rebuttal—backed by empirical research and dynamical systems modeling—that favors what he calls the intertwined self. Chemero leads an impressive group of philosophers and scientists who conceive of a mind centered on embodiment, environment, and other members of the human species.

A Radical God

Theopoetics, Phenomenology, and the Future of Religion JOHN D. CAPUTO W H Y G O D EMERGES FRO M THE P O ETI C I MAGI N ATI O N

Religion is making itself unbelievable— scandal-ridden, antiscientific, authoritarian, and reactionary. Can religion be saved? Is it even worth trying to save religion, not just from its critics but from itself ?

John D. Caputo proposes a radical alternative— what he calls “religion’s last stand”—by turning to theopoetics. In the traditional account, theopoetics calls for approaching God poetically because God transcends human language. Caputo contests this view, arguing that in the radical account, God does not precede but is generated by the poetic imagination. Theopoetics is not adorning an already constituted God; it is constituting the very idea of God. A radical God, untethered from theological orthodoxy and confessional rivalries, is neither a real being nor an unreal illusion, neither the object of supernatural belief nor the reject of skeptical disbelief. By adopting a phenomenological suspension of both belief and disbelief, both theism and atheism, both the religious and the secular, Caputo demystifies the distinction between the natural and the supernatural and replaces it with the distinction between the prosaic and the poetic. A daring undertaking in radical theology, this lively and provocative book proposes a startlingly different future for religion.

“Caputo has produced something truly novel in the modern history of philosophy and religious studies, demonstrating that attention to the method of phenomenology leads not merely to more philosophy or theology but to a theopoetics, and thus to the possibilities of a God beyond God. A Radical God rewards readers willing to stay with Caputo’s invitation to join him in an intellectual and philosophical exploration.” —Scott Holland, Bethany Theological Seminary

Kaleidoscope

Pluralism, White Supremacy, and American Religious History CATHERINE L. ALBANESE TH E C L AS H OF WH ITE S U PR E M ACY A N D R E L I G I O U S M U LT IC ULT UR AL IS M ACR OSS A M E R I CA N H I STO RY

There is an abiding tension in American religious history—and in how that history is told—between the pervasive ideology of white supremacy and the reality of a multicultural, multireligious North American landscape. Visiting this tension from the colonial era to the present, Catherine L. Albanese explores collisions between a white Protestant majority and the diversity of faiths flourishing beside it, offering timely insights into transformations in American religion. Beginning with how Indigenous peoples felt the heavy hand of settler violence, Kaleidoscope examines coexistence and conflict across American history in a series of essays. Albanese considers a number of moments and movements in Anglo-American Protestant religiosity even as she looks to Native, Black, and Latinx spiritual traditions. She highlights the uncertain status of Catholics and Jews, following their quest for whiteness and acceptance, and shows how Mormons too asserted their place within the United States by extolling their whiteness.

Filled with rich detail and a varied cast of characters, Kaleidoscope offers a new lens on diversity within American religious history. Elegantly written and powerfully argued, this book calls for overturning frameworks that place whiteness at the center and for finding new ways to tell the story of American religions.

“Albanese’s bracing book envisions America as a kaleidoscope that has failed many times and is failing today in this present of white supremacist politics. But Albanese dreams of a better future. The kaleidoscope turns again, and the present anti-Black, anti-immigrant, and anti-Semitic hatreds become possible breaking points, ways to wake up from the nightmare we are in. Not every American future is a dystopia. Neither is this one.” —Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of How to Think Impossibly: About Souls, UFOs, Time, Belief, and Everything Else

The Enigma of Gender

Why Identity Is Neither Individual Nor Essential HANS-GEORG MOELLER W H Y DAO I ST P HI LOSO P HY O FFERS UN EX P EC TED R E S O U RC ES FO R UN DERSTA N DI N G GEN DER

Current debates about gender identity are fraught with contradictions. Even as we increasingly recognize gender as an assigned category or social convention, we still see it as inherent to who we are, fundamental to our sense of self. But the quest to find one’s true self is unfulfillable. How can we find alternatives to the focus on getting our identity “right”?

“Moeller’s Daoist approach enriches contemporary debates regarding narratives about gender.” —Ellen Zhang, professor of comparative philosophy, University of Macau

“Through luminous insight and powerful clarity, Moeller opens a new horizon—gender ease, a Daoist way of being that flows beyond fixed categories and hardened identities.” —Robin R. Wang, author of Yinyang: The Way of Heaven and Earth in Chinese Thought and Culture

This book offers a cultural critique of gender narratives, spanning traditional conformity to gender roles, the modern quest for individual authenticity beyond gender, and the recent social media–fueled concern with curating gendered profiles. HansGeorg Moeller puts Daoist philosophy into conversation with present-day thinkers, showing why it helps us rethink common notions about identity. Discussing a wide range of cases, from Chinese foot binding to the politics around transgender issues today, he argues that we can defuse our anxieties by recognizing that gender—like all identities—is social, not individual, and changes at different times and in different places. Accessibly written and empathetic, The Enigma of Gender calls on us to be at ease with whoever we happen to be. HANS-GEORG MOELLER is professor of philosophy at the University

The Coffee Can Investor A Stock-Picker’s Journey to Build Generational Wealth NEERAJ KHEMLANI A G UID E TO P IC K ING Q UA L I T Y STO CKS FO R T H E V E RY LONG H AUL

What would happen if you bought a handful of stocks and then left them alone for some time, like stashing valuables in a coffee can? If you picked the right ones, you might wake up one day with lifechanging wealth.

Neeraj Khemlani introduces readers to this investing philosophy through the eye-opening story of a portfolio manager who has put it into practice. Matt Ankrum researched 100-baggers—stocks that have multiplied in value a hundred times over multiple decades—looking for what they have in common. Drawing on these clues, he hunts down and buys shares in what he thinks are tomorrow’s breakout companies, planning to gift his children a coffee can portfolio that could someday be worth half a billion dollars.

The Coffee Can Investor shares Ankrum’s process for identifying companies that can stand the test of time, as well as his stock picks. It explores the principles of long-term investing, emphasizing the power of compounding and why it pays to be patient. This book details the qualitative and quantitative aspects of 100-baggers, revealing that a surprising share are business-to-business companies, not just the business-to-consumer companies that typically grab headlines. Khemlani also recounts his own decision to make a coffee can of investments for his kids.

“The Coffee Can Investor is a gem of a book that combines good journalism with strong storytelling. It’s an incredible story of two fathers’ love for their children and their desire to leave them a future as big and bright as the Texas sky.” —Dan Rather, journalist and former national news anchor

Engaging and fast-paced, this book is for anyone who wants to invest in enduring companies for the long term. NEERAJ KHEMLANI is a veteran media executive and the former

president and cohead of CBS News and Stations. He has also served in senior roles at Hearst and Yahoo! News and Finance, and has produced award-winning stories for 60 Minutes and ABC News.

Many companies claim to prize innovation but struggle to support it in practice. CEOs call innovation their number-one priority in surveys, yet their employees say they are frequently frustrated in their efforts to create change. The biggest reason for this disconnect? Playing it safe. Leaders and organizations want to implement new ideas, but too often they are held back by the fear of failure, even though setbacks are intrinsic to the innovation process. “A must-read for all leaders engaged in developing and nurturing new ideas into products and looking to make innovation a way of working and a lever for driving sustained growth.” —Nitesh Bansal, CEO, R-Systems; former president, Infosys

“Marchand shows us how to drive innovation into our way of working and thinking, helping us achieve sustained growth.” —David Valenzuela, national business director, Novartis Oncology, Rare Disease

Lorraine H. Marchand shows readers how to overcome the status quo that stifles creative thinking and to create a culture that encourages innovation. She provides a framework for sustained growth built on the “5 Cs”: Customer First, Culture, Collaboration, Change, and Chance. Drawing on more than 120 interviews with leaders across industries, real-world case studies, and firsthand experience, Marchand demonstrates how to spark lasting transformation. She shares field-tested strategies, tactics, and tools that practitioners can use to embed creativity within organizational cultures, leverage innovation to ensure better results, and future-proof a company for the long haul. Practical and inspiring, No Fear, No Failure is a step-by-step guide for organizations of every type and size to drive growth by fostering a culture of innovation. LORRAINE H.

Finding Value in Numbers

The Essential Investing Toolkit to Win on Wall Street EHSAN EHSANI Foreword by Mario Gabelli A N I N TRO DUC TI O N TO MATHEMATI CA L SKI LLS A N D Q UA NTI TATI VE TO O LS FO R I N VESTO RS

“What separates a good investor from a great one isn’t genius—it’s clarity of thought and a framework that withstands uncertainty. This book will arm curious MBA students and professional investors with quantitative tools and mental models to accomplish an analyst’s most essential task: determining the gap between price and value. If you want to develop your own framework for security valuation, start here.” —Bob Robotti, president and chief investment officer, Robotti & Company

To be successful as an investor, one needs a framework. And no investing framework works without numbers. Although quantitative methods can be intimidating, they provide a major boost to the quality of analysis. Written for readers without a technical background, Finding Value in Numbers is an engaging and practical guide to how thoughtful investors can use numbers—not just for the sake of crunching data but for making better decisions.

Using a value investing perspective, Ehsan Ehsani shows how to deploy quantitative tools to identify and analyze investment prospects, demystifying the math that points to overlooked opportunities in the stock market, other securities, and beyond. Numbers help us grasp what a company is worth and why: the quality of a business, the durability of its competitive edge, and the reasonableness of its price. Combining practical frameworks with real-world examples, Ehsani walks readers through key concepts that enable robust analysis while explaining how to spot red flags. Along the way, he reveals how a disciplined, numbers-based approach can support both conviction and patience—two traits every successful investor needs. Blending quantitative insight with timeless investing wisdom, Finding Value in Numbers is an essential book for aspiring and professional investors looking to hone their skills as well as curious readers drawn to the inner workings of markets.

The Virtual Universe

Unlocking the Possibilities of the Metaverse ANDREAS KAPLAN A BUS INESS OV ERV IE W O F T H E PR OS PE C TS FO R TH E M ETAV ER S E

Will we one day inhabit virtual worlds? From the buzz around Second Life in the early 2000s to Mark Zuckerberg’s much-hyped quest for the metaverse, there seems to be a clear pattern. After being touted as revolutionary, virtual worlds fail to meet expectations and fade into obscurity. Yet the dream of an immersive, independent, and interconnected virtual social universe still has the potential to transform the economy, reshape society, and profoundly affect the future of humanity.

This book contends that despite shifting trends, the virtual universe remains crucial to the technology of tomorrow—and might arrive sooner than we think. Through vivid examples and detailed case studies, Andreas Kaplan, a pioneering researcher of virtual worlds since the early 2000s, provides a comprehensive examination of the metaverse and its far-reaching implications. He delves into key technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and extended reality and discusses ethical issues around privacy, identity, and governance. Kaplan examines business models, digital ownership, and corporate strategies alongside applications spanning marketing, research and development, human resources, and supply chain management. The book concludes by contrasting potential futures, from utopian promise to dystopian peril and everything in between. Written in an engaging, reader-friendly style, The Virtual Universe goes beyond the hype— and the doubting—to uncover the true potential of the metaverse.

“The Virtual Universe offers a comprehensive overview of virtual reality, virtual worlds, and the future metaverse. Through an examination of the advantages and potential downsides, Kaplan presents a wellrounded and holistic perspective on the metaverse—an environment he aptly describes as a ‘land of endless possibilities.’ ” —Michael Haenlein, ESCP Business School and University of Liverpool Management School

ANDREAS KAPLAN is professor of digital trans-

formation and president of Kühne Logistics University and former dean of ESCP Business School, Sorbonne Alliance. An expert in AI, social media, and virtual reality, he has taught at Harvard University, Sciences Po Paris, and Tsinghua University.

Sustainability Metrics and Management

The Path from Innovation to Routine STEVEN COHEN, WILLIAM EIMICKE, AND GUO DONG H OW TO A P P ROAC H THE B USI N ESS I MPAC TS O F S U STAI N A B I LI TY

“Sustainability metrics are an essential part of any business transformation. The authors offer an insightful summary of the challenges of integrating sustainability into management practices for managers and emerging leaders alike. A wonderful book on an important topic.” —Peter McAteer, managing director, SustainLearning

In recent years, increasingly sophisticated metrics have been created to measure sustainability. First devised to address environmental concerns such as greenhouse gas emissions, they now also assess organizational governance, community benefits, and hiring practices, among others. The field of sustainability management uses these metrics to track and advance progress on environmental, social, and business goals. How can an organization incorporate sustainability metrics into performance measurement and decision making? Which metrics should different organizations adopt, and why? What should sustainability management do to adapt in the face of political hostility, economic volatility, and technological change? This is a comprehensive guide to sustainability metrics and management, introducing readers to key concepts and techniques. The authors show how to integrate sustainability into the core of organizational management and make it a routine part of administration. Written for practitioners, students, and managers of organizations of all sizes, this book gives readers the tools and understanding they need to lead the journey toward sustainability. STEVEN COHEN is senior vice dean of the School of Professional

Studies, professor of practice in the School of International and Public Affairs, and director of the Earth Institute’s Research Program on Sustainability Policy and Management as well as two other masters’ programs at Columbia University.

Making Organizational Culture Great Moving Beyond Popular Beliefs JENNIFER A. CHATMAN AND GLENN R. CARROLL A G UID E TO L EV ER AG I N G O R G A N I Z AT I O N A L C U LT U RE FOR ST R AT EGIC S UCC E SS

Leaders remain skeptical about the power of organizational culture even though extensive research shows that it is crucial to business success. Can a manager really influence an organization’s culture, or do executives just try to impose a culture on their employees? Is the concept of culture too vague to measure objectively? What happens to valuable employees who feel left out? Even if culture makes team members happy, does it actually affect the bottom line?

This essential book answers the biggest questions about organizational culture, offering researchbacked insights for leaders on shaping and managing an environment that spurs achievement. The management experts Jennifer A. Chatman and Glenn R. Carroll—a psychologist and a sociologist—draw on social-scientific findings to evaluate and debunk common misconceptions. They show how research on culture empowers managers to identify what really matters and deploy it productively.

Making Organizational Culture Great features compelling examples from companies and nonprofits including Apple, Genentech, Disney, Ford, Netflix, Maersk, Google, Cisco, Southwest Airlines, and many others. A practical guide for current and aspiring leaders, this book reveals how to manage culture consistently, comprehensively, and coherently. JENNIFER A. CHATMAN is Bank of America Dean of the Haas School

“Chatman and Carroll provide leaders with pragmatic and robust practices for aligning culture and strategy. This is the book for managers interested in lifting their organization to new heights!” —Kristin Sverchek, former president, Lyft

Julia Kristeva is among the world’s most acclaimed and accomplished thinkers. Born in Bulgaria in 1941, she has lived and worked in France since 1966, becoming one of the country’s most important public intellectuals. A renowned psychoanalyst, philosopher, and linguist, she has written dozens of books spanning semiotics, political theory, literary criticism, gender and sex, and cultural critique, as well as several novels and autobiographical works, that have been influential worldwide. Kristeva is professor emerita of linguistics at the Université de Paris VII. She was the inaugural recipient of the Holberg International Memorial Prize in 2004 “for innovative explorations of questions on the intersection of language, culture, and literature.” Columbia University Press is proud to have been the publisher of Kristeva’s books in English translation for more than four decades, helping her vital body of work reach a global readership. This season, we continue the Kristeva Library, reissuing her works with a bold new look and a unified format, with striking new covers and updated interior design to ensure that these essential books continue to inspire and provoke readers around the world for years to come. Last season, we brought you Teresa, My Love ; Murder in Byzantium ; The Enchanted Clock ; Dostoyevsky, or the Flood of Language ; and Proust and the Sense of Time and this catalog features three more of her major works.

We are still coming to terms with the controversial figure of Hannah Arendt (1906–1975). Interlacing her life and work, this book is an elegant, sophisticated biography brimming with historical and philosophical insight. Focusing on the theme of female genius, Julia Kristeva emphasizes three features of the philosopher’s work. Exploring Arendt’s critique of Saint Augustine and her biographical essay on Rahel Varnhagen, Kristeva accentuates Arendt’s commitment to recounting lives. Second, she reflects on Arendt’s perspective on Judaism, anti-Semitism, and the “banality of evil.” Finally, Kristeva assesses Arendt’s intellectual journey, placing her enthusiasm for observing both social phenomena and political events in the context of her personal life. Drawing on fragments of Arendt’s correspondence with her longtime lover Martin Heidegger and her husband Heinrich Blucher, excerpts from her mother’s diary, and passages from Arendt’s philosophical writings, this book presents a luminous account of an essential thinker. ROSS GUBERMAN translated several works by Julia Kristeva, including

—Library Journal

—The Times (UK)

Melanie Klein (1882–1960) pioneered psychoanalytic practice with children and introduced a new approach to the theory of the unconscious. In her first biography of a fellow psychoanalyst, Julia Kristeva tells the remarkable story of Klein’s life: an unhappy wife and mother who underwent analysis and—without a medical or other advanced degree—became an analyst herself at the age of forty. In Kristeva’s account, Klein was the first person to see the mother as the source of not only creativity but also thought as well as the first to consider the place of matricide in psychic development—making her a crucial figure in the evolution of the provocative ideas about motherhood and the psyche for which Kristeva is renowned.

The final volume of Julia Kristeva’s trilogy on “female genius,” Colette interlaces commentary on the life and work of the notorious French author who made it possible for women to write erotic literature. Colette (1873–1954) was a prolific novelist who celebrated sexual pleasure at a time when women writers were inhibited about dealing with the topic. She also published in pro-Vichy, anti-Semitic journals during the Nazi occupation, even as she fought to keep her Jewish third husband from deportation. Kristeva offers an elegant and sophisticated critique of Colette’s psychological conflicts, opening Colette’s oeuvre to psychoanalytic interpretation.

There Is Life After the Nobel Prize ERIC R. KANDEL

One day in 1996, the neuroscientist Eric R. Kandel took a call from his program officer at the National Institute of Mental Health, who informed him that he had been awarded a key grant. Also, the officer said, he and his colleagues thought Kandel would win the Nobel Prize. “I hope not soon,” Kandel’s wife, Denise, said when she heard this. Sociologists had found that Nobel Prize winners often did not contribute much more to science, she explained.

“In this remarkable recap of his postprize career, Kandel’s intellect and passion are present on every page. Readers will be awed by the depth and breadth of Kandel’s work.” —Publishers Weekly

“A short, cheerful memoir from an energetic Nobel laureate.” —Kirkus

In this book, Kandel recounts his remarkable career since receiving the Nobel in 2000—or his experience of proving to his wife that he was not yet “completely dead intellectually.” He takes readers through his lab’s scientific advances, including research into how long-term memory is stored in the brain, the nature of age-related memory loss, and the neuroscience of drug addiction and schizophrenia. Kandel relates how the Nobel Prize gave him the opportunity to reach a far larger audience, which in turn allowed him to discover and pursue new directions. He describes his efforts to promote public understanding of science and to put brain science and art into conversation with each other. Kandel also discusses his return to Austria, which he had fled as a child, and observes Austria’s coming to terms with the Nazi period. Showcasing Kandel’s accomplishments, erudition, and wit, There Is Life After the Nobel Prize is a candid account of the working life of an acclaimed scientist. ERIC R. KANDEL is University Professor Emeritus at Columbia Uni-

versity. He is founding codirector of Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute, founding director of Columbia’s Kavli Institute for Brain Science, and Sagol Professor Emeritus of Brain Science at the Zuckerman Institute. In 2000 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his studies of learning and memory.

One of the twentieth century’s great paleontologists and science writers, Stephen Jay Gould was, for Bruce S. Lieberman and Niles Eldredge, also a close colleague and friend. In Macroevolutionaries, they take up the tradition of Gould’s acclaimed essays on natural history, offering a series of wry and insightful reflections on the fields to which they have devoted their careers.

Pierre Sokolsky offers a history of knowledge of the Sun through the lens of sunspots and the solar cycle. He ranges widely across cultures and throughout history, from the earliest recorded observations of sunspots in Chinese annals to satellites orbiting the Sun today. Considering how various thinkers sought to solve the puzzle of sunspots, Sokolsky sheds new light on key discoveries and the people who made them, as well as their historical and cultural contexts.

Eric S. Haag explores the two-billion-year history of sex, from the first organisms on Earth to contemporary humans. He delves into the deep history of sexual reproduction, from its origins as a fix for a mutational crisis to an essential feature of all complex life. Haag traces sexual differentiation from its earliest forms in microbes to its elaboration in animals, showing why sex differences in cells and organisms help species adapt, persist, and evolve. Bringing the story up to the present, Haag argues that the evolutionary history of human sexuality helps us better understand contemporary society. ERIC S.

Making a King

The Political Theology of Joan of Arc WINNIFRED FALLERS SULLIVAN “This book is political theology at its very best.”

Imagining the Past, Remembering the Future Forms of Knowledge in the AfroBrazilian Diaspora ISIS BARRA COSTA

—Vincent W. Lloyd, coauthor of What Is Political Theology?

There is an enduring fascination with Joan of Arc, yet she is almost always seen alone, as a victim or martyr. Focusing on her life rather than her death, Winnifred Fallers Sullivan offers an interpretation of Joan as a political thinker and actor who sought, during her meteoric presence in fifteenthcentury France, to legitimate a king, channel God’s word, convene a coronation, and speak for the people in an alternative legal order. Making a King illuminates Joan’s extraordinary life and vision—her conception of sovereignty from below, her form of female masculinity, and her power as kingmaker—and shows why she can help us find a deeper understanding of religion and politics today.

“Beautiful and necessary.” —Zeca Ligiéro, artist and dean of the Center for Letters and Arts, Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro

Imagining the Past, Remembering the Future investigates the interlinked art, history, religion, philosophy, and cosmology of oral traditions across the Afro-Brazilian diaspora. Through case studies of sacred and secular performances, Isis Barra Costa shows how Afro-Brazilian concepts and practices preserve and renew an ever-changing diasporic philosophy. Ranging across parades of Black royal courts, Carnaval performing groups, oracular literature, “spirit-dictated” novels, and many other forms, she illuminates the survival and transformation of African cosmologies, epistemologies, and poetics in the Americas.

A Philosophy of Spiritual Diversity

In many places around the world, spiritual matters and practices are local and contextual. Yet philosophy of religion often takes universalizing monotheism as the norm and overlooks other traditions, which it categorizes with oversimplified terms such as polytheism and animism. Leah Kalmanson offers a new approach to understanding the world’s varied religious traditions: a philosophy of spiritual diversity. Local Gods foregrounds the numinous, subtle, and supernormal factors that pervade many aspects of everyday life but slip through the cracks of philosophical discourse on religion.

What might religious practice learn from plants? Ecologies of Ecstasy recasts religious contemplation as a form of vegetal being, arguing that spiritual practice is rooted in the generation of life on earth. Simone Kotva explores the role of vegetal life in the history of Christian mysticism and the practice of contemplation, demonstrating its significance to the concept of mystical union, which rests on the loss of distinction between self and world.

and translator to bring key texts and the city they represented to rich, complex life.” —David L. Howell, author of Geographies of Identity in Nineteenth-Century Japan

In this innovative and interdisciplinary book, Thomas Gaubatz offers a fresh approach to understanding the literature of the Tokugawa townspeople. Ranging across history, literature, and print culture, he shows that popular fiction made sense of the urban world by modeling how individuals could refashion themselves through the performance of shared norms. Through this vision of textual self-fashioning, The Textual Townsman develops a radically new account of the politics of popular fiction in Tokugawa status society.

Theodore Hughes crosses borders to demonstrate how stories of dying and death—what he calls the thanatographic imagination—in North Korea, the United States, and South Korea energize ideas about history, the present, and the future. He shows how literary texts, films, nonfiction, and other forms of cultural production from the late 1940s to the 1960s address the incommensurate loss of life, violence, destruction, and suffering of the war. Bridging Korean studies, American studies, and the cultural turn in international relations, this book offers new ways to understand the unending Korean War and the global implications of its logic of limitlessness.

major literary achievement.” —Manan Ahmed Asif, author of The Loss of Hindustan: The Invention of India

Women’s songs of the grind mill are among the oldest oral traditions in South Asia. Madhuri Deshmukh shows that these songs played a foundational role in the vernacular turn to making literature in Marathi between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries. She calls for understanding these artfully crafted compositions as oral poetry in a lyric mode, underscoring that women describe their songs as an “unraveling of the heart” while they compare written poetry to weaving. The Unraveling Heart offers new insight into the importance of labor and gender to aesthetics and develops a novel approach to the concept of the literary. MADHURI DESHMUKH is professor of English at Oakton

Classical Indian poetics prized the skillful use of alaṅkāras, or “ornaments”— literary figures of speech. Sanskrit writers developed and elaborated an account of literary embellishment that is perhaps the world’s most complex and long-standing theory of figuration. An Alaṅkāra Reader is a groundbreaking panoramic overview of this tradition, presenting extensive and accessible translations of key works that span its history, from the sixth century CE to the eighteenth. It is an essential resource for the study of classical Indian thought and the intellectual history of South Asia. YIGAL BRONNER is a professor in the Department of Asian

The Cinema of Jonathan Demme Champion of the Soul

LOUIS BLACK AND STEVE FORE

Jonathan Demme was one of the most accomplished American film directors of his era, yet he remains underappreciated. This book offers an in-depth look at Demme’s four decades of filmmaking, tracing the core elements that unite the disparate strands of his work. Louis Black and Steve Fore argue that Demme’s films share a compassionate, emotionally generous perspective on humanity’s flaws and foibles. Ranging from low-budget productions to the pinnacle of Hollywood success, this book highlights the humanist sensibility, artistic ambitions, keen social criticism, and wry humor that are hallmarks of Demme’s work. LOUIS BLACK was the longtime editor of the Austin

Chronicle and a cofounder of South by Southwest. A film critic and historian, he has participated in the restoration and rerelease of classic Texas independent films, including Eagle Pennell’s The Whole Shootin’ Match.

A Literary Afterlife Across the Arts JOSEPH ALLEN BOONE “An impressive achievement and a masterly act of literary devotion, The Melville Effect charts and analyzes the remarkable recent acceleration in multimedia and mixed-media responses to Melville’s prose.” —Samuel Otter, author of Melville’s Anatomies

Charting how a vast variety of writers, filmmakers, and artists channel Herman Melville, Joseph Allen Boone offers new insights into the author, his works, and his many legacies. He argues that contemporary artists are drawn to Melville’s patchwork aesthetics, especially his mingling of genres and media and his prolific borrowings from popular and high culture. Boone’s cases range from artists drawing on the use of whalebone in nineteenth-century fashion to critique gender roles to those obsessed, like Melville, with size and monumentality in ever-proliferating artworks.

“With breathtaking scope, American Literature’s War on Crime argues convincingly that detective novels, vigilante narratives, and serial killer stories were instrumental to changes in policing and public policy. A remarkable book.” —Justin Gifford, author of Revolution or Death: The Story of Eldridge Cleaver

While the United States was building the world’s largest prison system, Americans were reading crime novels. Theodore Martin offers a groundbreaking account of the ways that reading habits and crime politics intersected in the age of mass incarceration. He analyzes dozens of novels—from best-sellers to cult classics and forgotten mass-market paperbacks—by authors including James Ellroy, Ralph Ellison, Sue Grafton, Patricia Highsmith, Chester Himes, Stephen King, and Walter Mosley.

the Ground of Social Life

Between the Civil War and the Cold War, American literary modernism and philosophy both grappled with the challenge of novelty and the chance to make it new. Bringing together modern poetry’s aesthetic experimentation and modern philosophy’s attention to the problem of induction, Lyric Logic argues that poems use logical form as literary form. Johanna Winant recasts the poetics of central figures as modeling and defending inductive reasoning: Walt Whitman makes lists, Emily Dickinson constructs analogies, Gertrude Stein presents facts, Marianne Moore investigates predictions, Elizabeth Bishop draws inferences, and Gwendolyn Brooks tests the limits of deduction.

A Novel

Forests in fiction are often understood simply as settings, symbols, or remnants of a premodern past. Yet many African novelists have turned to the forest to experiment with worldbuilding and to imagine new futures. This groundbreaking book explores the life of the forest in African fiction, showing how writers have used it to reinvent the novel’s formal, aesthetic, and political possibilities. Ainehi Edoro argues that instead of treating the forest as a backdrop, these writers imagine it as a living structure: a space where politics, history, myth, violence, technology, and magic animate fictional worlds.

Saving Apartheid

Agrarian Superpower

AUGUSTA DELL’OMO

SAMANTHA IYER

This groundbreaking book tells the story of how a transatlantic pro-apartheid movement attempted to defend white rule in South Africa—and forged enduring links between global conservatism and white power. By mapping an international network of white supremacist organizations, Augusta Dell’Omo reveals a fundamental shift in far-right organizing in response to changing geopolitical realities. Saving Apartheid ranges from Reagan’s Oval Office to South Africa’s bantustans and from white women’s grassroots organizing to evangelical broadcasting, illuminating how an unlikely coalition reimagined white supremacy. Uncovering the surprising influence of apartheid’s defenders, this book offers a prehistory of the present.

commanding ambitious sweep is matched by an empirically meticulous mapping of the geographies of power that remade agrarian capitalism across the United States, Egypt, and India. A tour de force!” —Manu Goswami, coeditor of Political Imaginaries in Twentieth-Century India

The United States superpower status is often associated with its industrial, financial, and military might. Yet its global power after the Second World War hinged in part on something often seen as backward: agriculture. During the 1950s, an era of decolonization and rising Cold War competition, the United States became the dominant exporter of food staples to industrializing nations in the Third World through its massive food aid program. Through the lens of food and agriculture, this book offers new ways to understand the roots of the postwar global order and the US position in it. SAMANTHA IYER is associate professor of history at

This book is an international history of the Carter administration’s intricate relations with the two competing Chinese regimes, emphasizing the geopolitical significance and lasting implications of this crucial moment. Drawing extensively from previously untapped archives in several countries and languages, Sheng Peng uncovers the internal governmental debates across world capitals that affected Carter’s China policy. He demonstrates that technological competition was as crucial as strategic and ideological competition to the course of the Cold War, and together they profoundly shaped US-China relations and the world today.

The early sixteenth century saw the rise of two Mediterranean empires—the Christian Habsburgs and the Muslim Ottomans— with strikingly similar ambitions to usher in an age of peace, unity, and justice. Drawing on a wide range of Ottoman and European sources, Ebru Turan explores the emergence of these empires and the early phase of their rivalry within the broader Mediterranean world.

This book is an international history of the struggle for recognition of disability rights at the global level. Paul van Trigt chronicles how people with disabilities and their allies developed their own understanding of human rights, from the emergence of disability activism in the late 1960s through the negotiation of the 2006 United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. A groundbreaking account of disability internationalism, Progress from the Margins also reflects on the prospects for a world that embraces disability.

Punjabi Language Movements After Independence JULIEN COLUMEAU

HISTORY

Linguistic Resistance in Pakistan

“Columeau shows us the complexity of the various movements that emerged in support of Punjabi in Pakistan in the two decades after Partition/ Independence, providing a rich account of not only key figures in these movements but also the writings, ideologies, and activities associated with them.”

Melancholy Borders

Mobility, Migration, and Exclusion in Global History ANDREW B. LIU, OWEN MILLER, AND MEHA PRIYADARSHINI, EDITORS “Melancholy Borders points to the many corners of the world where a modern tension between mobility and restriction illustrates contestations over power, freedom, and human autonomy not often captured in national treatments of immigration.” —Donna R. Gabaccia, general editor of The Cambridge History of Global Migrations

Showcasing the latest research in the burgeoning field of global migration history, this book explores the historical clash between transnational networks of migrant mobility with state attempts to control them. Melancholy Borders illuminates the crucial role played by migration and migration regulation in the creation of the modern world.

—Anne Murphy, University of British Columbia

Soon after independence, the Pakistani government adopted a language policy that promoted the use of Urdu. In Punjab, intellectuals launched three separate movements for the defense and promotion of Punjabi, divided along the lines of their political and literary affiliations: Marxists, conservatives, and modernists. Linguistic Resistance in Pakistan examines these three movements, taking an interdisciplinary perspective that combines sociological, historical, political, and literary approaches. JULIEN COLUMEAU holds a PhD in history from the École

des hautes études en sciences sociales and is currently affiliated with the Centre d’études sud-asiatiques et himalayennes. He has published five books of fiction in Urdu, and his short story “Derrida in Lahore” received the Susannah Hunnewell Prize from the Paris Review.

The African allies of the United States are often depicted as mere pawns or clients seeking aid. Yet African leaders have deftly capitalized on security partnerships with the United States in ways that have been widely overlooked. Treachery and Diplomacy shines a light on US-Africa security partnerships, revealing their simmering internal tensions, hidden racial politics, and consequences for peace and democracy. Sobukwe Odinga explores the contentious relations between the United States and key African allies—Liberia, Ethiopia, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), and Uganda—from the Cold War to the War on Terror. He brings to life the diplomatic gambits of leaders such as William Tubman, Mobutu Sese Seko, and Yoweri Museveni, documenting how they prodded Washington to back them in regional conflicts, increase aid, and temper criticisms of their domestic policies.

R. Urbatsch explores the politics of naming across American history, revealing the surprising ways parents’ choices shed light on public opinion past and present. He argues that naming is a weathervane for political attitudes: Names touch on every sort of identity, from race and gender to nationalism and religion.

The Wagner Group emerged from Russia’s criminal underworld in 2014 and soon became one of the world’s most infamous private military companies. This book traces the Wagner Group’s violent ascent and descent, exposing how a shadow army built an empire until it turned on its masters. CHRISTOPHER M. FAULKNER is an assistant professor of

national security affairs at the US Naval War College and a nonresident senior fellow in the Foreign Policy Research Institute’s Eurasia Program. RAPHAEL PARENS is a fellow in the Foreign Policy Research

Institute’s Eurasia and Africa Programs and a senior fellow at the Delphi Global Research Center. COLIN P. CLARKE is the executive director of the Soufan

Center and a nonresident senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

Samer Abboud argues that the Syrian regime sought to entrench its rule during wartime through bifurcating society into “loyal” and “disloyal” subjects—and punishing those it deemed treacherous. It established new laws, courts, and legal categories that targeted “betrayal,” which could include anything from military desertion to absenteeism to critical social media posts. Betrayal of the Homeland offers a panoramic view of the politics of punishment during the final decade of the Assad regime, with broader implications for understanding how authoritarian states manage conflicts.

disciplinary studies and director of the Center for Arab and Islamic Studies at Villanova University. He is the author of Syria (second edition, 2018).

Make China Great Again

HARRISON AKINS

RONGBIN HAN

Connecting international politics with domestic security, Harrison Akins shows how India and Pakistan’s engagement with China has shaped the two governments’ policies toward their strategic frontiers over the past seventy years. He demonstrates that China’s presence spurred the Indian and Pakistani governments to assert their sovereignty over key border regions, exacerbating conditions that led to the outbreak of antistate violence. Featuring comprehensive research and keen analysis, Adversary and Ally offers new insights into the pressures confronting South Asian governments and the limits of China’s reach.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of debates on climate justice across the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, illuminating how scholarship on climate change can become a call to action.

In 2015, students at the University of Cape Town ignited a movement that would reverberate across the globe by demanding the removal of a statue of the British imperialist Cecil Rhodes. A. Kayum Ahmed tells the powerful story of Rhodes Must Fall, tracing the emergence of a new decolonial framework, Fallism, and its trajectory from Africa to empire.

PHILOSOPHY

Word and Plan

JOHN MACFARLANE “Many observers outside of philosophy are puzzled by the fact that problems about vagueness have been such a preoccupation in the philosophy of language, but Word and Plan explains precisely why these issues are so important. MacFarlane’s arguments, both constructive and critical, are incisive and convincing.” —Robert Stalnaker, author of Propositions: Ontology and Logic

We commonly believe that communication is successful when a hearer grasps what a speaker means. But Abe can assert “Sam is tall” without having any definite intention about how tall one must be to count as “tall,” and Bertha can understand his assertion without grasping such an intention. What exactly has been communicated in such a case? John MacFarlane argues that standard models of meaning and communication cannot answer this question. To answer it, he proposes, we need to see vague talk as not purely factual but in part expressive of linguistic plans. In this book, he gives a novel expressivist account of vagueness and explores its implications for semantics, pragmatics, thought, and disagreement. JOHN MACFARLANE is a professor in the Department of

Philosophy and the Group in Logic and the Methodology of Science at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the author of Assessment Sensitivity: Relative Truth and Its Applications (2014) and Philosophical Logic: A Contemporary Introduction (2021).

The Business and Politics of Independent Bookselling in China

Revolution in Publishing

In recent decades, self-proclaimed “independent bookstores” have arisen across China. In the West, such retailers represent an alternative to corporations and chains. In China, by contrast, they differentiate themselves from not only the state-owned Xinhua Bookstore but also other privately owned shops through an emphasis on intellectual independence and the free exchange of ideas. Cultural Mavericks takes readers inside the world of independent bookselling in China, showing how a wide range of figures navigate the challenges of book retailing in the digital age amid rapidly shifting social, political, and economic dynamics.

With a focus on Turkey, this book develops new insights into the performative aspects of confessions and what they reveal about the dominant social, moral, and political order.

Drawing on in-depth interviews with nearly one hundred journalists, Efrat Nechushtai shows how the desire to increase trust in the news can be weaponized to increase favorable coverage of illiberal movements. She documents how the quest for public approval has led journalists to legitimize antiscience claims in the United States, racialize crime reporting in Germany, and produce “patriotic” stories in Hungary and Israel, among other cases. Valuable for scholars and practitioners alike, this book presents practical strategies that reporters, editors, and publishers can use to navigate today’s challenging environment.

She argues that solidarity is a longstanding yet unacknowledged journalistic norm that fosters truthful reporting when people’s basic dignity is at stake. Varma illustrates ethical journalistic practices through case studies of local and national reporting on homelessness, housing instability, and the cost of living.

Information Theory and Bayesian Inference DUNCAN K. FOLEY AND ELLIS SCHARFENAKER

“A brilliant multimethod account of two decades of Google’s technology-inspired attraction to news and its simultaneous struggles with journalism.” —Susan Keith, professor and associate dean, School of Communication and Information, Rutgers University

Qun Wang examines Google’s engagement with news across more than two decades, tracing the company’s complicated relationship with the news industry. She shows how what the company calls the “Google way” of experiencing news has exerted a profound influence on traditional media, and how Google’s news ambitions, in turn, have been shaped by the global news industry’s actions and reactions at every step. Shedding new light on the vast transformations of the past quarter century, this multimethod interdisciplinary book also offers insight into how the news environment might evolve in the era of AI. QUN WANG, a former TV anchor, journalist, and news

director, is an assistant professor in the Department of Communication and Media Studies at Fordham University.

Conventional “frequentist” methods that dominate the field of statistics are generally inconsistent and liable to catastrophic failure in some contexts. Making Statistics Work presents a synthesis of information theory and Bayesian inference that addresses these fundamental problems. It provides a consistent, powerful, and flexible framework for data inference based on rigorous logic derived from first principles, allowing for new approaches to many of the unresolved questions of statistics. DUNCAN K. FOLEY is the Leo Model Professor Emeritus

of Economics at the New School for Social Research and external professor at the Santa Fe Institute. He is the author of Understanding Capital: Marx’s Economic Theory (1986) and Adam’s Fallacy: A Guide to Economic Theology (2006) and coauthor of Growth and Distribution (second edition, 2019), among other books. ELLIS SCHARFENAKER is an associate professor of

economics at the University of Utah. His research integrates Bayesian inference, information theory, and political economy to study industrial dynamics and income distribution.

“Well-written, accessible, and inspiring. This book will be of immense value to palliative care professionals

This book is a primer on the fundamental science of climate change and climate prediction, now updated to reflect the latest research. John C. Mutter gives a just-thefacts overview of how the climate system functions and what we know about why changes occur. This second edition incorporates updates including the most recent IPCC Assessment Report, adding discussion of attribution science—the ability to determine the extent to which extreme weather was the result of climate change—and a new chapter on geoengineering.

and to others who work with aged populations.” —Ellen L. Idler, editor of Religion as a Social Determinant of Public Health

This state-of-the-field book argues that palliative care has drifted away from its transformative goals—and shows what to do about it. Bringing together leading international scholars and practitioners, Well-Being at the End of Life calls for a paradigm shift in the values and priorities of palliative care to emphasize the importance of community to personal well-being.

States of Emergency

A Spatial History of the French Colonial Continuum LÉOPOLD LAMBERT Translated by Lara Vergnaud Foreword by Zoé Samudzi

States of Emergency navigates the temporal and spatial dimensions of France’s states of emergency across three colonial space-times: the Algerian Revolution (1954–1962), the Kanak Insurrection (1984–1988), and the French banlieues riots (2005) and their fallout (2015–). In recounting the mechanics of this counterrevolutionary legal framework across multiple geographies—extending and fortifying key anticolonial solidarities past, present, and future—this book reads the state of emergency not as an exception but as a heightened form of everyday colonial state violence.

FOR SALE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

Contrasting the architecture of sites like “regroupement” camps in Algeria, the white settler city of Nouméa, and the police stations of Paris’s suburbs with that of Algiers’s Casbah, Kanaky’s tribes, and Paris’s banlieues, States of Emergency narrates the bureaucracies and protocols that continue to enable and underwrite the far-reaching violence of this legal measure as well as the anticolonial and antiracist resistance brought against it. The book offers a guide and a method for making the colonial continuum legible across contexts and for spatializing the many actors, agents, immigrants, and revolutionaries working both for and against the shared project of liberation. LÉOPOLD LAMBERT is editor in chief of The Funambulist. He is a

Material Variance

LOLA BEN-ALON, EDITOR

Raw building materials are inherently variable. This variability shapes global supply chains, labor relations, infrastructure, and trade networks. Yet within the context of building design, materials are often treated as static commodities. Material Variance resists this perception, unfolding instead a framework for designing through and with living matter that is uncertain, messy, and dynamic. The book insists on materials not as passive inputs but as unruly agents, shaped by and shaping the political, ecological, and cultural processes around them.

Convening material researchers, building scientists, architects, and artists, Material Variance aims to collectively expand architecture and design’s material lexicon and unsettle its disciplinary boundaries. The book interrogates the assumptions of refinement, standardization, and technocratic control to advance alternative fabrication practices, alchemical processes, and methods for working with indeterminate matter. From poetic field recordings to scientific analyses, the book opens up a space for thinking across theory and practice, across geological particles and living species, and across various scales, forms, and practices.

This book offers a comprehensive account of the myriad ways in which people are transforming their social, ecological, and economic systems to create more just, beautiful places in response to the climate crisis. With contributions from more than a dozen leading scholars, Building Postcarbon Futures takes readers through thirty exemplary works of climate justice spanning forty-three countries and six continents. Together, these illustrated case studies foreground the overlooked tactics, strategies, and modes of practice being employed, often by marginalized peoples, to build a more just, decarbonized world—from Cuba to Kiribati. Building Postcarbon Futures is both a celebration of action underway and a challenge to those tasked with bringing new works of climate justice into the built and natural environments—the planners, designers, policy makers, and activists pushing this planet toward a future of collective flourishing.

Equitable Urban Strategies for a Changing Climate EMILIA OSCILOWICZ, JAMES J. T. CONNOLLY, AND ISABELLE ANGUELOVSKI

The intersecting challenges of climate change, housing affordability, and economic inequality are creating fierce competition for resources, attention, time, and capacity as communities respond to a mounting polycrisis. This report outlines strategies for addressing these vexing issues, drawing on research including interviews with planners and policy makers in five North American cities: Boston, Denver, Portland, Vancouver, and Washington, DC. It offers actionable insights to help cities move from fragmented planning efforts toward long-term, justice-centered urban transformation, proposing an equitable climate urbanism framework that emphasizes cross-sector collaboration, resilient housing, place-based adaptation, and inclusive community engagement. By marrying climate action with housing initiatives and economic development, this framework can yield more climate-friendly, affordable homes while cultivating the agency, participation, and engagement of historically marginalized communities. Planning in a Polycrisis shows the way toward more resilient, affordable, and inclusive communities.

The Stories We Bring Back

Margaret Atwood on Myth, Mortality, and the Art of Writing

SU E R INSD I A L H O U S E

The ERIS Dialogues series gathers real and imagined conversations between writers, artists, and philosophers whose exchanges illuminate the life of the mind. Each volume stages an encounter in which ideas are tested, voices collide, and thought takes dramatic form.

MARGARET ATWOOD AND HARIS VLAVIANOS

In this wide-ranging and characteristically fearless exchange, Margaret Atwood sits down in Athens with the poet and philosopher Haris Vlavianos to reflect on myth, politics, mortality, and the creative imagination. From Homer to The Handmaid’s Tale, from Tiresias to Trump, their conversation traces the long arc between ancient story and present crisis. With sardonic humor and precision, Atwood revisits her own work through the eyes of myth: Penelope and her maids, sirens and shapeshifters, prophets and tyrants. Each theme circles the archetypal journey into darkness and return—the descent that art demands and the question it leaves us with: What stories survive, and what do we bring back from the descent?

and what they bring back is a story. It’s darkness and then illumination. And no matter how gloomy the content, every act of writing is an act of optimism.” —from The Stories We Bring Back FOR SALE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

As the dialogue unfolds, Atwood speaks with unusual intimacy about the practice of writing— its rituals and terrors, its moral weight, its comic absurdities. The result is both public conversation and private meditation, a spirited encounter between two minds steeped in literature and alive to the political urgencies of our time. At once erudite and mischievous, The Stories We Bring Back reveals Atwood at her most lucid and unguarded.

“Writers descend to the underworld

MARGARET ATWOOD is the author of more than fifty books of fiction,

poetry, and essays, including The Handmaid’s Tale, The Testaments, Oryx and Crake, and Burning Questions. She has received the Booker Prize, the PEN Pinter Prize, the Franz Kafka Prize, and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. HARIS VLAVIANOS is professor of history, political theory, and history

Anthology of Postwar Art Writing MICHAEL PEPPIATT AND JILL LLOYD, EDITORS

For more than three decades, Art International was the beating heart of the postwar art world—a magazine where artists and critics met as equals, ideas crossed oceans, and modern art found its global voice. Founded in Zurich in 1959 by the maverick American James Fitzsimmons, it became the essential forum for the era’s sharpest minds: Clement Greenberg, Harold Rosenberg, Lucy Lippard, Rosalind Krauss, Michael Fried, John Berger, Jacques Derrida, and Gilles Deleuze. Here the great debates of modernism and its aftermath played out, from abstract expressionism to pop, minimalism to conceptualism, with artists such as Bacon, Judd, Motherwell, and Kiefer speaking directly from its pages.

This definitive anthology, edited by Art International ’s final editors, Michael Peppiatt and Jill Lloyd, gathers the magazine’s most original and influential writing—along with artists’ manifestos, correspondence, and rare critical texts unseen for decades. Lavishly illustrated with archival material, covers, and artworks, it offers a vivid panorama of art’s most transformative period and the critics who made sense of it.

The History of Western Philosophy in 100 Haiku HARIS VLAVIANOS

In this audacious pocket history, the poet Haris Vlavianos compresses Western philosophy from Thales to Nussbaum into 100 razor-sharp haikus. Plato gets a cave with “all mod cons.” Kant boots up a “laptop mind.” Wittgenstein tries to coax a fly from its bottle. It’s Russell meets Bashō, Socrates with a punchline—and beneath the wit, real argument and insight.

Homes of Hades is Kleopatra Haritou’s haunting dialogue between the living and the dead—between Athens above and Athens below. Through her subversive lens, the marble thresholds of postwar apartment buildings become twin gates to the city’s cemeteries; the entrances of the living echo the exits of the departed. The book presents 190 color photographs, each laid out in diptych spreads where one image depicts an Athenian apartment entrance and its facing pair a tombstone, shrine, or grave. What begins as an existential exploration unfolds as an unexpected portrait of modern Greece—from the ruins of antiquity to the neon glow of the Western present. In Homes of Hades (copublished with the Onassis Foundation), every ending is the next beginning. KLEOPATRA HARITOU has exhibited widely in Greece and

Efthimis Filippou—acclaimed screenwriter of Dogtooth, The Lobster, and The Killing of a Sacred Deer—moves between lecture, cabaret, and liturgy with a poker face that leaves space for awe. His stage world is one of rituals disguised as bureaucracies, where saints and civil servants coexist, where grief becomes procedure, and humor, a form of prayer. Songs flare, knives appear, miracles are audited like minutes from a meeting. Taken together, these four works, Etymologies (a play), Big and Small Ships (a ritual performance), Eau de Cologne (a choral device), and George (a narrative), form a darkly luminous cycle about belief and substitution—of tongues, bodies, and meanings—played out between the sacred and the absurd.

ERIS CRITICAL CENTURY SERIES

ERIS

Critical Century gathers some of the most urgent and enduring works of the twentieth century—a time of fracture, experimentation, and radical thinking. These are texts from the edges of literature, philosophy, politics, and art, where form meets force and thinking becomes resistance. Essays, manifestos, notebooks, film scripts, city portraits—each one sharp, unsettling, and still very much alive: a library of modernism at its most combustible.

BLAISE CENDRARS

An Essay on the Meaning of the Comic HENRI BERGSON Introduction by Simon Critchley Afterword by Wyndham Lewis

FOR SALE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

In this classic 1900 essay, the philosopher Henri Bergson anatomizes the comic impulse with surgical clarity and lyrical wit. With a rejoinder essay by Wyndham Lewis and a new introduction by Simon Critchley, Laughter emerges as both a foundational text in aesthetics and a startlingly modern theory of humor—anticipating Freud, Chaplin, and memes alike. HENRI BERGSON was one of the most influential philoso-

phers of the twentieth century and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature (1927). SIMON CRITCHLEY is the Hans Jonas Professor of Philosophy at the New School for Social Research. His many books include Mysticism and I Want to Die, I Hate My Life (ERIS, 2025). WYNDHAM LEWIS was a British novelist, painter, and polemicist.

New edition

Blaise Cendrars enlisted in the French Foreign Legion in 1914 and in 1915 lost the lower half of his right arm—his writing hand. I Killed (1918) is Cendrars’s first published account from the trenches. His shocking prose refuses theatrics. It anatomizes dehumanization—the drift from “we” to “I,” the reduction of persons to numbers and parts, the obscene efficiency of industrial slaughter. I Bled (1938) looks back through hospitals and aftermaths. Framed here with a concise preface and notes, I Killed and I Bled is war writing that neither flatters nor absolves—language held against extinction. BLAISE CENDRARS (1887–1961) was a Swiss French poet,

novelist, editor, and tireless modernist. A volunteer in the French Foreign Legion during the First World War, he lost his right hand and taught himself to write left-handed. His books—La prose du transsibérien, Moravagine, La main coupée—made him one of the twentieth century’s most intrepid and original voices.

This book explores the events leading to the current genocide in Gaza and far-right Jewish settler onslaught in the occupied West Bank. Beginning with the historical background to the establishment of Israel as a settler-colonial state, it examines key historical events since 1948, including the 1967 war, the Oslo Accords, the rise of Hamas, and internal Palestinian divisions in the 1990s. The book also critiques the international community’s failure to hold Israel accountable for war crimes and highlights the role of US administrations in obstructing a two-state solution.

Subarnarekha

Before My Memories Fade

IRA BHASKAR, EDITOR

P. BHASKARAN

Translated by Shampa Banerjee

Translated by Jyothi Unniraman

The concluding volume of the Partition Quartet Screenplays of Ritwik Ghatak, Subarnarekha is a devastating critique of the fallout of the partition. Set in postpartition Bengal, it chronicles the journey of refugee families as they attempt to settle down in a new land after surviving the worst bloodbath witnessed in the history of the subcontinent and the mass migration that followed. Ghatak’s cinematic narrative, in the “critical melodramatic” form, acquires tremendous resonance through the use of music, myth, archetypes, and allegory to articulate a critique of modern civilization’s destructive potential.

Between the covers of this book lie mnemonic snapshots of a towering figure in Malayalam poetry, song, and cinema, P. Bhaskaran. These recollections, translated from the Malayalam in his birth centenary year, trace his journey from boyhood through a revolutionary youth to his emergence as a luminous poetic voice. Woven through all his work is a profound humanism. He gave voice to the emotions of ordinary people in a language unmistakably their own, even as his vision helped shape the modern, democratic identity of the Malayali.

This groundbreaking collection redefines Joseph Conrad’s fiction through the innovative lens of spectrality studies, offering fresh perspectives that challenge and expand contemporary scholarly discourse. Spectral Conrad unites an array of international voices to dissect the haunting motifs, ghostly presences, and existential uncertainties woven into Conrad’s iconic works. Through meticulous analysis of texts such as “Heart of Darkness,” Lord Jim, The Shadow-Line, Under Western Eyes, Victory, “Prince Roman,” “Freya of the Seven Isles,” Nostromo, “Karain: A Memory,” and “The Warrior’s Soul,” the volume illuminates Conrad’s fascination with the spectral—from lingering traumas of colonialism to the ethical shadows of human ambition. Drawing on frameworks as diverse as Plato’s dialogues, Derrida’s hauntology, Shakespearean tragedy, and cross-cultural literary traditions, the contributors—from universities in Greece, France, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Poland—forge a dynamic, globally informed critique. Their interdisciplinary approach reveals how spectrality shapes Conrad’s narratives, transforming his fiction into a mirror for modern anxieties about identity, memory, and the unresolved legacies of history. Rich in theoretical rigor yet accessible in style, Spectral Conrad bridges academic depth with engaging analysis, making it an indispensable resource for students and scholars of modernism, postcolonial studies, and Gothic literature. This volume not only revitalizes Conrad’s oeuvre but also reimagines spectrality as a vital critical tool.

EDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JOSÉ ANDRÉS ALONSO DE LA FUENTE

This book examines the Tunumiisut (East Greenlandic) wordlist gathered by Johannes Balle (1889–1965) some time in the first half of the twentieth century. This little-known vocabulary, which includes equivalents in Kalaallisut (West Greenlandic) and translations into Danish, offers valuable data from a time when information on Greenlandic dialects was scarce and difficult to obtain. The book describes the historical context of Johannes Balle’s life and the peculiarities of the linguistic data as presented in the wordlist. The main part of the study is the Tunumiisut wordlist rearranged according to English keywords for historical and comparative purposes. Extensive indexes arranged in the more traditional alphabetical order allow the reader to navigate easily through Tunumiisut, Kalaallisut, Proto-Inuit-Yupik, and Proto-Inuit reconstructions, all of them cross-referenced with the English keywords.

This book examines how ancient Zoroastrianism is practiced in the United States diaspora and how it has evolved, moving beyond the dominant male perspective to focus on women. Zoroastrianism in their everyday experiences is more than a religion: it is a spiritual path, an ethnic tradition, and a cultural identity. Richly illustrated with the narratives of generations of Iranian and Parsi immigrants as well as photos, this book gives a sense of the diversity of Zoroastrian life across the United States. It not only broadens the picture of the ethnoreligious landscape of the country but also highlights the role of social practice theory in the study of religion, demonstrating how it applies to qualitative field research.

Truly Tribal

Contemporary Indigenous Tattooing DION KASZAS, EDITOR

After generations of colonial suppression, Indigenous tattooing practices have experienced a resurgence led by artists and informed by community stories, protocols, and Elders. In Truly Tribal, nineteen Indigenous ancestral skin markers from fifteen Nations and cultures around the world come together to discuss their reclamation of tattoos as tangible reminders of their communities’ enduring rights, relationships, and responsibilities.

CONTRIBUTORS:

Missy Dunn-Mahan • Julia Mageˇau Gray • Donita Vatuinaruku Hulme • Dion Kaszas • Yasbelle Kerkow • Terje Koloamatangi • Mel Lefebvre • Nolan Malbeuf • Jerrid Lee Miller • Jacqueline Merritt • Sheri Osden Nault • Julie Paama-Pengelly • Natalia Roxas • Nathalie Standingcloud • Gordon Sparks • Anne Spice • Dulcie Stewart • Nakkita Trimble • Nahaan F O R S A L E I N T H E U N I T E D S TAT E S , A U S T R A L I A / N E W Z E A L A N D , AND ASIA

Alongside stunning photos of their work, practitioners discuss restoring a tradition that has survived colonial erasure, including the revival of ancestral tattoo designs, symbols, and motifs; the reenvisioning of meaning and protocols; and the refashioning of ancestral application methods, such as the use of bone tools and pigments alongside contemporary tools and inks. Their expert analysis and heartfelt storytelling respond to a global awakening of cultural mark-making practices, offering teachings that can be shared while acknowledging that some ancestral inheritances are not for public consumption. This beautiful anthology embodies the phrase “about us, from us, for us.” DION KASZAS is a Nlaka'pamux ancestral skin marker and born-again

Coyote. He has been at the forefront of Indigenous tattooing in Canada since 2012, training and mentoring the next wave of revivalists. He has curated two major exhibitions highlighting Indigenous ancestral skin markers and their ancestral practices. In 2024, he launched the Transformative Marks podcast, which journeys through the world of Indigenous tattooing.

Revolutionary Science

The Struggle for Agroecology in the Americas BRUCE H. JENNINGS

In the 1940s, a US-backed campaign spread industrial agriculture across the Americas, dismantling traditional farming systems that had sustained campesino communities for generations. The result was ecological damage, cultural loss, and deepened inequality.

Amid this devastation, a group of Latin American scientists chose another path. Working alongside farmers, Indigenous communities, and social movements, they helped shape a new vision: agroecology, a science grounded in ecology, cultural respect, and political commitment to those most marginalized. This book tells their story and asks a vital question: Can agroecology thrive as both a science and a movement strong enough to defend millions of campesinos and their communities across the Americas? BRUCE H. JENNINGS is a political scientist and former senior environ-

mental policy advisor with the California Legislature. As cochief of the Assembly Committee on Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials, he helped shape legislation addressing environmental health, chemical regulation, and farmworker protections.

Thin Blue Rage

The Police Countermovement ANDREW CROSBY AND JEFFREY MONAGHAN

Policing agencies continue to face criticism over their outsized use of violence in response to encampments of unhoused people, protests against police brutality, and sites of environmental activism and Indigenous land defense. Feeling victimized and misunderstood, police officers increasingly sport “thin blue line” symbology depicting their role as guardians of civilization against disorder—with poor, racialized, and progressive people squarely on the wrong side.

“Crosby and Monaghan skillfully document the role of police as violence workers in defense of a capitalist and settlercolonial order. By employing this F O R S A L E I N T H E U N I T E D S TAT E S , A U S T R A L I A / N E W Z E A L A N D , AND ASIA

With meticulous historical, theoretical, and empirical detail, this deeply researched book recasts the police as a social movement in power rather than a neutral public institution. It explores key debates in policing literature alongside contemporary examples of policing’s ideological dimensions, including communications practices, membership structures, and political campaigning. Linking police identity with far-right perceptions of victimhood and alienation, Thin Blue Rage analyzes the police’s defensive anger toward a public they see as not understanding or supporting how they function.

“This book offers a much-needed applied and accessible approach to a sensitive and socially important topic.” —Linda Caissie, St. Thomas University

During Elliott’s last year of high school, his mother dies of ALS. Now his whole family is adrift and floundering. Elliott’s only friend, the uber-intellectual and socially maladaptive Riley, tries to help but needs to set boundaries so she can deal with her own family stuff. Then, some technically impossible but inescapably real events start to change everything. No More Fridays is about a young person’s struggle to cope with alienation and grief through philosophy, science, nature, and relationships. It reminds readers: a mind open enough can accept that the death of a loved one is never the end of the story. LESLEY CHOYCE is the author of more than one hundred

This fourth edition of Social Perspectives on Death and Dying invites readers to confront these questions directly. Jeanette A. Auger, joined by Kerstin Roger and four new contributors, presents the latest research on issues such as cremation, suicide, medical assistance in dying, Indigenous perspectives, and the role of media. This book challenges readers to face their own feelings about mortality while examining how society navigates both traditional practices and emerging, often controversial choices.

The sixties were not just “sex, drugs, and rock and roll.” Social movements aimed at overcoming patriarchy, colonialism, and corporate capitalism were equally part of the sixties revolution. In The Long Sixties, seven veteran political activists, all still engaged in campaigns and organizations, tell their stories of transformational activism. They also critically reflect on their victories and defeats, their personal and political challenges, what they learned, and how their perspectives deepened and changed along the way. These weathered voices open an intergenerational conversation about social solidarity and transformation to address the grave crises we face globally.

International students have long been seen as cash cows by Western universities, a revenue stream of high tuition fees for the same education received by lower-paying domestic students. This book places the international student within the larger context of edugration, or student migration, to examine the everyday vulnerabilities arising from this immigration status. It gathers insights about racialization from over 120 interviews with student migrants from Asia, revealing how student migrants cope with prejudice, create networks, and manage their own integration. Collectively written by postsecondary educators, researchers, and students, including student migrants, this book features evidence-based, critical, and antiracist recommendations toward holistically supporting student migrants from Asia.

This book examines how equity, diversity, and inclusion–related letters are used by the university to claim to be progressive while simultaneously warding off criticism.

Despite many impressive and important benefits, adult basic education is largely unknown and seriously underfunded. This book makes the case that it should be a central part of a radical reimagining of education, in which adult basic education is on par with K-12 and postsecondary education.

Growth, Democracy or Climate Action? The New Political Trilemma of Advanced Capitalism

AIDAN REGAN, HANNA SCHWANDER, CYRIL BENOÎT, AND TIM VLANDAS

Governments face a conflicted choice among economic growth, democracy, and tackling the climate crisis. They cannot achieve all three objectives simultaneously, and the growing tensions among them are being played out in countries across the world. It is the new trilemma of advanced capitalist democracy.

FOR SALE IN NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA

Growth, Democracy or Climate Action? uses this trilemma as a fresh analytic framework to conceptualize these trade-offs and tensions in the study of capitalist democracies. In a compelling analysis, the authors argue that the type of democratic politics that is required to generate growth and prosperity within the ecological limits of the planet has not been taken seriously in the study of comparative political economy and needs to be located at the heart of future research. Given the unprecedented scale of structural reform that governments need to implement to tackle the climate crisis effectively, the authors question whether the transition to carbon neutrality can be achieved within the liberal rulebook that has governed the politics of advanced capitalism for the past hundred years.

Artificial intelligence is heralded as a revolutionary force in the global economy. But the transformation it brings is not simply about new technology. It is about who owns it, what they want to do with it, who can pay for it, and how other economic actors around the world must adjust. This book explores AI systems as products of unequal power relations. It exposes grand AI narratives as rhetorical ammunition in political fights over technological futures and socioeconomic distribution. The AI Matrix is an essential guide to the real-world economic dynamics that AI unleashes.

The liberal, “rules-based” order faces its greatest crisis since the end of the Cold War. Yet there is little sign of a new, postliberal order. Instead, there is a growing void in global governance—a new world disorder. Bobo Lo argues that there is no future in a return to dominant US leadership, great power competition, or the post–Cold War chimera of a geopolitics-free world. The way forward lies in a more inclusive and flexible order, driven by a common purpose in meeting universal challenges such as climate change, pandemic disease, and global poverty.

Stupid Rules

Reducing Red Tape and Making Organizations More Effective and Accountable

Working for Each Other

A Philosophical Account of the Need for Work DERYN THOMAS

NATASHA HAMILTON-HART

FOR SALE IN NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA

Our lives are imbued with rules and regulations. Some of these are vital and sensible, but others are simply stupid. Time-wasting processes of compliance don’t improve anyone’s lives or well-being and burden companies and organizations with productivity-sapping paperwork. In these instances, we would be better off resorting to the exercise of authority: a more efficient and transparent option for getting things done. Natasha Hamilton-Hart navigates the maze of rules that have proliferated in response to crisis and failure in recent decades, challenging us to consider just how ineffective stupid rules are in holding power to account, improving service delivery, and even managing the office dress code. This book is a must-read for anyone frustrated by the bureaucratic overload regulations create and for those needing to rethink their approach to management. NATASHA HAMILTON-HART is a professor in the Depart-

The increasingly influential antiwork view argues—persuasively so—that humanity would be better off in a world without work. Working for Each Other challenges the antiwork narrative by proposing an alternative view: that work is not an individual necessity but a social one. As individuals, people have certain needs that allow them to live and thrive in the world: things like food, shelter, and resources. In the same way, communities and societies have requirements, like infrastructure and essential services. Work is one of these fundamental collective needs: even if one does not work, someone else must. Recognizing the role that work plays in how we communicate with one another about our contributions to our communities and societies can allow us to reimagine the promise of work to be part of a good life—in particular, a life shared with others.

Crime, Space and Place

Coronations and Defenestrations

TIM HALL AND RICHARD YARWOOD

LEE DAVID EVANS

This book is a critical introduction to the geographies of crime, highlighting the specific value that a geographical perspective adds to the study of crime. Tim Hall and Richard Yarwood examine crime through the lenses of space and place. They also explore the interdisciplinary nature of the geography of crime, examining its overlaps with criminology, sociology, economics, psychology, urban and rural studies, cartography and GIS, and policing. The authors look to the future by exploring forms of offending that have received little attention to date—such as corruption, transnational organized crime, and ecocide—and consider the contributions of theoretical perspectives from beyond geography. This book is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in human and social geography, particularly the geographies of crime, as well as a range of criminology courses.

The Conservative Party and its leaders have shaped modern Britain. How do Tory leaders get to the top of their party? Historically, leaders were expected to emerge through unknown and unknowable processes, typically involving the monarch and party grandees. But as postwar Britain embraced all things modern and meritocratic, the Tory party’s traditional ways of working appeared out of touch. Tory MPs now decide which two candidates are to be put to a members’ vote. In this lively telling of Conservative Party history, Lee David Evans asks whether the leadership election rules are the source of the party’s current decline and considers what a more effective process might look like for choosing and deposing the leader while in opposition or in office.

Whose Sovereignty?

The Hobbled State

CÉLINE SPECTOR

MARK I. VAIL

In the face of Russian aggression and America’s apparent retreat from its protective role, strengthening European integration has become essential, and federalization appears increasingly necessary. In this carefully argued case for a federal Europe, Céline Spector proposes that national sovereignty has become increasingly untenable as mechanisms perpetuating fiscal, social, and environmental inequities transcend borders. The concept of the sovereign people has become symbolic within nation-states but is devoid of substantive political force. Rather than lamenting the decline of direct democracy, Spector advocates for a democratized European Union that could redefine popular sovereignty and protect human rights. She shows how it could facilitate new forms of political community at the European level and enable a reconceptualization of popular sovereignty beyond the nation-state.

FOR SALE IN NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA

Germany’s postwar power has been bounded by the rules and requirements of international institutions and its own constitution. Economic prosperity quickly became a proxy for the conventional exercise of power. Yet recent crises have made the country’s ambivalence toward power difficult to sustain. In this timely book, Mark I. Vail traces Germany’s reluctant embrace of power from its current reconsideration of national identity and international responsibility.

Édouard Glissant and the Whole-World of Cities

Gender, Political Violence and National Identity in Britain and France Since 1952 LEONIE B. JACKSON

GARTH A. MYERS is Paul E. Raether Distinguished Professor

of Urban International Studies and director of the Center for Urban and Global Studies at Trinity College.

News media reporting on female political violence invariably portrays the perpetrators as duped, naïve, and exploited; acting from personal rather than political motivations; anomalous intruders in a masculine realm; and defeminized monsters. In diminishing the agency of politically violent women, the challenge that female terrorists pose to the gender order is contained. Using five comparative case studies spanning more than seventy years, this book demonstrates how politically violent women in terrorist campaigns targeting the UK and France have been represented to contain challenges to nationally specific gender orders. Discourses of belonging via race, ethnicity, religion, geography, and class are intimately tied to these representations, and specific ideas of femininity emerge depending on the threat that particular ideological terrorist campaigns are believed to pose.

Drawing on ideas from postcolonial theory and literary and cultural studies, Garth Myers develops a new framework for reimagining global urban studies. This framework is developed in dialogue with the work of the Martinican poet and thinker Édouard Glissant, in particular his collection of essays Treatise on the Whole-World, which deploys analogy and juxtaposition to elucidate relationality between places. Each chapter is based around a pair of cities: Fort de France, Martinique, with Zanzibar, Tanzania; the Zambian Copperbelt with Scranton, USA; Kingston, Jamaica, with Hartford, USA; and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, with Los Angeles, USA. This book addresses some of the key concerns of canonical literature in Global North urban studies and considers what an alternative Glissantian cultural approach might offer.

Pension Saving in a Gendered Lifecourse

A Political Economy of Women’s Entrepreneurship

“This compelling book challenges the idea that

The promotion of women’s entrepreneurship has traveled globally in recent years and has been regarded as a relatively unquestioned good, applied to women in various political, economic, and social contexts. It has been adopted as a tool for governments, policy makers, and development professionals who see women’s enterprise promotion as a signifier of modern and cosmopolitan economies. This book argues that the distinctive experiences of women entrepreneurs are indicative of the need for a political economy of entrepreneurship, especially at the level of the household. Drawing from countryspecific research, Melissa E. Langworthy highlights the gaps between rhetoric and practice by policy makers and program designers promoting women’s entrepreneurship. This book establishes a foundation from which to build entrepreneurship theory and to strengthen enterprise programs and policies.

women are simply ‘poor men’ in pension systems. Hayley James shows with clarity and originality how gendered lifecourses shape saving and why pensions must be reimagined to reflect the realities of diverse lives.” —Debora Price, professor of gerontology, University of Manchester

FOR SALE IN NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA

Despite automatic enrollment in workpension schemes, private saving for pensions in the UK is low, with most people being relatively underpensioned in later life and reliant on the state pension. There is also a clear gender gap with women living longer and saving much less for old age than men. In this incisive book, Hayley James challenges the heteropatriarchal assumptions in pension systems. She demonstrates how pension saving, as an everyday practice of finance, is shaped by gender and how this evolves over the life course. She argues that to resolve gendered inequalities in pensions, we need to change systems to suit the realities of lived experience. HAYLEY JAMES is senior research fellow in the Centre for

The art deco movement is often neglected at the peripheries of architectural history of Asia and Hong Kong. This book relates art deco architecture in the city with local socioeconomic and political contexts, examining how they framed practices of everyday life. It narrates how art deco became part of the modern Hong Kong ethos via architectural typologies such as public and institutional sites; residential properties; and commercial, industrial, and utility buildings. Surviving art deco buildings are hidden treasures and portals to the little-known history of interwar Hong Kong.

Eliot Weinberger has deftly composed a montage of fifty-eight poems derived and adapted from the lines, images, and feelings in Tu Fu’s poetry. These poems weave a tapestry of Tu Fu’s turbulent life and times, allowing readers to appreciate the profound solitude and desolation in his poetry, which still resonates across the span of a millennium. More than an homage to the life of Tu Fu, this work is a meditation on the self, suffering, and our transient beings.

The Late Wanderings of Du Fu DANIEL HSIEH

F O R S A L E I N T H E U N I T E D S TAT E S , C A N A D A , MEXICO, CENTRAL AMERICA, SOUTH AMERICA, THE CARIBBEAN, AUSTRALIA, AND NEW ZEALAND

The Daoist Liturgy of the Most High for Daily Recitations (Taishang xuanmen gongke jing) is performed in Daoist temples every morning and evening. The ritual aims at a perfected state for self-cultivation and serves as a prayer for universal salvation from suffering. The liturgical text includes recitations from a broad spectrum of Daoist traditions, including scriptures, chants, divine proclamations, litany of repentance, incantations, and hymns. This complete, meticulous English translation is accompanied by annotations and an introduction that situates the liturgical text in its historical context and examines how the spiritual practices and ritual performances are described. Together, they provide the religious, textual, and historical depth for readers to understand the rich and indigenous religion of Daoism in China and ritual traditions in contemporary Chinese communities.

History remembers Du Fu (712–770) as a Confucian poet-sage, but why would he abandon his official post to wander the remote fringes of the Tang empire? This exploration of Du Fu’s late wanderings reveals the restless spiritual and intellectual journey that mirrored his seemingly directionless, perplexing physical travels. Moving beyond traditional portrayals, it uncovers a complex figure torn between north and south, service and retreat, and the truths of the Three Teachings. A close reading of the poems from his last, prolific decade follows Du Fu as he confronts the brilliance and collapse of his dynasty, transforming all he experienced into poetry that became both his autobiography and his apology. Through his verse, a man who refused to settle for a single answer emerges, one whose constant wavering was a part of his greatness and ultimately redefined the possibilities of Chinese poetry.

Without sustainability and intergenerational justice, today’s children will no longer have the opportunity to shape their lives in the same way as their parents. Educational equity, poverty reduction, children’s health and safety, gender equality, and climate protection are crucial components of sustainable and intergenerational justice policies. This book demonstrates that the needs of today’s generation of children are not being taken into account in these policy areas, with the result that existing inequalities and injustices will increase.

Memeing War

Dress Rehearsal

MICHEL BOUCHARD AND

LARISA KALIK

The Digital Folklore Memetic Mirror of Contemporary Ukrainian Culture and Society

Translated by Kate Tsurkan

Foreword by Anton Liagusha

Foreword by Francis Farrell

Memeing War analyzes tens of thousands of memes to better understand the struggle everyday Ukrainians endure and how memes helped the citizenry carry on through bombings and needless death. The book chronicles the emergence of revolutionary memes and how this tradition of memeing detonated and mushroomed following Russia’s revanchist invasion to undo the legacy of Ukraine’s push toward democracy and European integration. The memes are a mirror of contemporary Ukrainian culture and society, a body of digital folklore. At times dark and calling upon gallows humor, they provide Ukrainians both hope and comic relief.

In the shadow of Europe’s borders lies Transnistria—an unrecognized sliver of land wedged between Moldova and Ukraine. For over three decades, it has existed in political limbo: cut off from the world, sustained by Moscow, and ruled by an authoritarian elite. It is one of the longest-running “frozen conflicts” in the post-Soviet space—and a blueprint for Russia’s future wars. Blending personal memoir, firsthand interviews, and investigative reporting, Larisa Kalik pulls back the curtain on daily life inside this enigmatic pseudo-state.

University of Northern British Columbia. DARIA ANTSYBOR is a research fellow at the State Scien-

What Did Russia’s Occupation of Crimea Mean?

Twelve Women Report How They Experienced the Start of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2014

OLENA BOGATYRENKO, EDITOR Foreword by Olena Bogatyrenko

This book is a collection of documentary accounts from twelve women from Ukraine who were forced to leave Crimea when Russia started occupying the peninsula in 2014. Some moved earlier and couldn’t see their loved ones or live in their own homes anymore. Kyiv took them all in. Sharing powerful accounts of exile, this book underscores that documenting the crimes committed by the Russian army in 2014 is necessary to preserve the true history of Crimea. The world must know the truth and not forget about Crimea. OLENA BOGATYRENKO studied psychology at the State

The Age of Revisionism

International Relations in Times of War, Uncertainty, and Insecurity SERGIY KORSUNSKY

Political revisionism is a common historical trend that often defines the nature of international relations in a certain historical period. But today, widespread uncertainty and rapid political shifts combine to form a picture that is difficult to comprehend. This book revisits, discusses, and uncovers the novel meaning of many basic concepts used in theorizing about international relations. Some familiar concepts are merely getting outdated; others have proven to be wrong; and still others need to be revised to properly understand modern reality. The book draws lessons from the author’s experience of practical diplomacy during thirty years as a senior Ukrainian diplomat with assignments in Tel Aviv, Washington, Ankara, and Tokyo. SERGIY KORSUNSKY served as a Ukrainian diplomat from

at the National Economic Hetman University of Kyiv. From

A Village in Revolutionary Ukraine

How Bolshevik Rule Changed a People: The Diary of a Common Man, 1918-1928 STEPHEN VELYCHENKO

“A history from below par excellence. . . . A unique insight into the history of Ukraine and Europe.” —Serhii Plokhy, professor of Ukrainian history, Harvard University

This book examines the diary of Kostiantyn Sambursky, who recorded his experiences daily for almost thirty years. Entries provide details about his education, his work, his neighbors, and life in surrounding settlements, together with asides on the history of nearby villages. The diary describes the comings and goings of rival armies, confiscations, requisitions, the activities of local officials, the role of the church in local affairs, personal rivalries, and land reallocation, providing invaluable insight into the human element of rural revolutionary Ukraine. STEPHEN VELYCHENKO is senior research fellow at the Chair

A Different History of East Germany from 1989 to Today ILKO-SASCHA KOWALCZUK

Why is the right-wing extremist party AfD (Alternative for Germany) particularly successful in East Germany? Why are so many East Germans friendly toward Putin’s regime and hostile to Ukraine’s struggle for independence? Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk tells the story of East Germany since the breakup of the Soviet bloc as an unfinished struggle for freedom, the outcome of which will determine the future of the entire German nation. He calls for a realistic, nonnostalgic view of East Germany as unequivocally a dictatorship and casts German reunification as a success story of liberation. Freedom Shock is a defense against current antiliberal tendencies by one of the most prominent East German intellectuals today. ILKO-SASCHA KOWALCZUK is a Berlin historian who has

published groundbreaking works on the history of the GDR, communism, and German reunification including, in English, End Game: The Revolution in East Germany, 1989–2024 (2022) as well as a two-volume biography of Walter Ulbricht.

Foreword by Georges Mink

Russia’s Occupation Policy in Ukraine Since 2022

Sergey Savchenko Foreword by Jan-Philipp Wölbern

What kind of regime has Russia established in the Ukrainian territory it has occupied and annexed? What does the occupation mean for those affected? This book shows that the ultimate aim of Russia’s occupation policy since 2022 is the destruction of Ukraine’s distinctive political, social, linguistic, and religious identity. Occupation means forced displacement, theft of property, systematic repression, regular human rights abuses, denigration, the imposition of Russia’s imperial war narrative, control of the public sphere, and Russification. ANDREAS HEINEMANN-GRÜDER is professor of political

science at the University of Bonn. DMITRY DURNEV is an independent journalist in Ukraine. JULIA FRIEDRICH is a research fellow at the Global Public

Policy Institute. SERGEY SAVCHENKO is lieutenant general of the armed

forces of Ukraine and head of the Kyiv-based Analytical Center for the Study of Hybrid Threats.

Power, Habitus, and Politics from Yanukovych to Zelensky

“A vital and revealing contribution to our understanding of post-Soviet politics and the lived realities of elite power.” —Tomasz Zarycki, University of Warsaw

This sociological study explores how Ukrainian political elites think, act, and adapt in moments of profound transformation—from the authoritarian drift of the Yanukovych era to the national redefinition under Zelensky during the full-scale war. Moving beyond debates about corruption or democratization, the book paints a more nuanced picture of Ukraine’s political field as a space of symbolic struggles shaped by history, class, and postcolonial legacies. It offers new insight into how elites operate in not just Ukraine but also transitional democracies facing external war and internal transformation more generally.

Ukraine’s NATO Accession Discourse

Representations of National Identity in Ukrainian Debates about Euro-Atlantic Integration, 1997–2018 Foreword by Andreas Heinemann-Grüder “Essential reading for students and scholars of international security, foreign policy, and discourse analysis.” —Senem Aydın-Düzgit, Sabanci University

Iryna Zhyrun analyzes the evolving conceptualization of Ukrainian national identity in relation to Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic integration among the ruling political elites. Examining the politics of Ukraine-NATO relations during the Kuchma, Yushchenko, Yanukovych, and Poroshenko presidencies, she argues that there was a constitutive link between changes in the definition of national identity and choice of distinct policy directions: Foreign affairs became identity politics. IRYNA ZHYRUN has held visiting positions at the University

of the North in Barranquilla, Colombia, and Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, Italy. ANDREAS HEINEMANN-GRÜDER is professor of political

Using extensive archival research and oral history interviews with former media practitioners and viewers, this book reveals how regional and republican television interacted with state-sponsored popular culture to produce a distinct Soviet Ukrainian mediascape. Examining the formation of socialist media culture at the convergence of radio, television, and popular music, Bohdan Shumylovych highlights the ideological dimensions and politicization of the cultural output of this time. Ultimately, the book contributes to understanding how Soviet media not only reflected state priorities but also played a central role in shaping national imaginaries that anticipated Ukraine’s post-Soviet nationhood.

Oleksa Drachewych argues that Russia’s instrumentalization of its memory of WWII has played a significant role in leading Russian forces to commit similar atrocities in its war against Ukraine. He shows that Russia’s misuse of history is more than propaganda and it has violent consequences. Replaying the Second World War details the many connections between the Soviet past and the Russian present, shedding light on why Russian forces have committed extensive atrocities against Ukrainians and why the Russian government has instituted brutal policies during the war.

This book investigates how and to what extent the de facto regimes of the unrecognized “republics” of Transnistria in Moldova and Abkhazia in Georgia can challenge the Kremlin’s political authority. Though rare, this has occurred when the republics were dissatisfied with existing security, economic, and cultural arrangements with Russia and mobilized sufficient bargaining power to address them.

History, Biographies, Remembrance: Feodor Fedorenko on Trial CHRIS WEBB

This book examines the Treblinka death camp, which operated as part of the Aktion Reinhardt mass murder of Polish Jewry during the years 1942 and 1943. This edition adds a focus on the former Ukrainian guard Feodor Fedorenko, who, after an appeal, was stripped of his American citizenship, extradited to Russia, and, after a short trial, found guilty of war crimes and executed in 1986, as well as covering the postwar trials in great depth.

The Hungarian-Soviet Cultural Society 1945–1949

ADAM FARKAS

Adam Farkas presents the history of the Hungarian–Soviet Cultural Society, founded in 1945 to promote Soviet-Russian culture in Hungary. He recasts the society’s role in Soviet-Hungarian relations, portraying it not merely as a propaganda source but as an institution with its own distinct political agenda. Drawing on previously unexplored archival sources, Farkas explores a range of challenges faced by the organization. ADAM FARKAS is a postdoctoral

researcher at the University of Toronto.

An Ontological Solution to the MindBody Problem Consciousness and Recursion

JAMES RICHARD MENSCH

James Richard Mensch argues that the classic statements of the mindbody problem are based on an artificial separation of consciousness and its embodiment. This separation is reflected in the view that associates consciousness with temporal relations and the material world with spatial relationships. Mensch undercuts this view to show that time and space—and, hence, consciousness and its embodiment—are mutually implicated. JAMES RICHARD MENSCH is profes-

“[Offers] fascinating impressions of mentalities and ideals, prejudices, and practices of cultural distinction present in US-American society.” —Peter Andreas, Historische Zeitschrift

This essential introduction to American studies examines the core foundational myths on which the nation is based. These include the myth of “discovery,” the Pocahontas myth, the myth of the Promised Land, the myth of the Founding Fathers, the melting pot myth, the myth of the West, and the myth of the self-made man. The book provides extended analyses of each of these myths, using examples from popular culture, literature, memorial culture, school books, and everyday life. Including visual material as well as study questions, this revised and expanded edition illuminates the essential role of myths in the process of nation building.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sinophobia and anti-Asian hate made media headlines. The contributors to this volume discuss how anti-Asian projections and colonial-racist narratives have shaped modernity and Western immigrant nations, employing a transatlantic perspective in addressing different core dimensions of pervasive anti-Asian racism. Featuring an interdisciplinary approach, this volume brings together historians, social scientists, cultural anthropologists, media scholars, educational researchers, and communitybased activists. Together they offer a diverse array of insights, ranging from historical contexts and theoretical frameworks to contemporary case studies. KIEN NGHI HA is a postdoctoral researcher on postcolonial

The Human and the Meat

KLAUS BEHNAM SHAD

CHIARA STEFANONI

Human differentiation encompasses human classification and categorization processes that we encounter on a daily basis. Klaus Behnam Shad offers a new framework of human differentiation that emphasizes social complexity and intersectionality. Uniquely integrating systems theory with political, psychological, and biological anthropology, this systemic-anthropological approach firmly rejects culturalizing, moralizing, and ideologizing stances that claim a supposed superiority. This provides valuable insights into group-based differentiation processes that would otherwise remain inscrutable.

Animal Domination in Capitalist Societies

in contemporary critical (animal) theory.” —Richard Twine, Edge Hill University

More than 85 billion animals are killed in slaughterhouses yearly to sustain a profitdriven meat production system, devastating animals, workers, and the environment. Elaborating a novel materialist and intersectional framework, Chiara Stefanoni conceptualizes the social form of humananimal relations and its centrality within the interconnected structure of domination in capitalist societies, especially in relation to gender and class. Through a historical analysis of industrial slaughterhouses, the study reveals how the human/animal divide and meat-based diet are not timeless facts, but concrete social solutions crucial for the reproduction of capitalist society. CHIARA STEFANONI works as a visiting researcher and

lecturer in philosophy at Leuphana Universität Lüneburg.

JULIAN WACKER

AND VIKTORYIA SEREDA, EDITORS

Since the early 2000s, creatives in UK grime music and attendant genres have voiced and displayed dissent toward neoliberal politics and violent inner-city planning through the medium of music videos. Julian Wacker shows that music videos produced for artists like Dizzee Rascal, Jorja Smith, Kano, Kojey Radical, and Scarlxrd reframe politically disenfranchised and culturally stigmatized council-housing estates as unruly and malleable spaces on the move, ultimately disrupting the exclusionary patterns stratified across the neoliberal city. Reading these music videos also provides insights into how they intervene in stereotyping narratives surrounding Black British urban culture in the United Kingdom.

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has destroyed lives, communities, and cities. From the start, images of this war spread across various media platforms. Paintings, photographs, drone footage, TikToks, and Instagram posts shape how the war is experienced, represented, and archived. In this multidisciplinary volume, artists, scholars, and writers explore how art, media, infrastructures, and material culture respond to and contest the Russo-Ukrainian War.

Namibia’s colonial history casts a long shadow over the country’s present. Contemporary authors and artists confront the legacies of German and South African colonial rule and engage creatively with the persistent remnants of the past. In their works, the archive remains both an invaluable and a fraught resource for accessing obscured histories. Julia Rensing examines how writers and artists from Namibia and South Africa navigate archival silences, omissions, and power structures to renegotiate historical narratives and address intergenerational trauma. Their creative practices challenge conventional understandings of archives and forms of commemoration, highlighting the diverse experiences that shape Namibian society and memory cultures.

As disruptive biotechnologies such as genome editing and ecological crises reshape our world, normative guidance is more vital than ever. The contributors to this collection explore how bioethics, as a philosophically informed and interdisciplinary practice, can respond to ethical challenges in medicine, agriculture, and beyond. With contributions from leading scholars, it charts future directions for bioethics.

Recently, both liberal philosophy of recognition and theories of epistemic injustice have come under attack for failing to reconstruct how marginalized groups find sources of recognition and agency. To understand social struggles, we need to focus on how those within the struggle act toward emancipatory change instead of focusing on the (re)actions of those in power. This volume brings together leading scholars working at the intersection of epistemic injustice theories and recognition theories, setting out to apply insights from this relation to contemporary phenomena and backlashes in the formation and acts of socially struggling emancipators. Contributors also consider ideology critique, epistemology of ignorance, standpoint theory, and theories of consciousness-raising. HILKJE C. HÄNEL teaches and researches in political and

Plato, Aristotle and the Transcendence Theory of Art

The Epistemic Violence of Mathematics

CHRISTINE STEFANIE KUNKLER

CARA-JULIE KATHER

Based on a provocative reading of Plato and Aristotle, the “transcendence theory of art” challenges traditional notions concerning the autonomy of art, essentialism, and art as such. As a methodological model, it bridges theoretical analysis and art practice, offering a fresh approach to key areas in philosophy. Christine Stefanie Kunkler shows how a philosophical reflection on texts and images can deepen our understanding of meaning, interpretation, and misinformation in contemporary culture.

exploration of how wild ways of knowing and being help us understand and imagine the world differently and together.” —Stephanie Deig, Universität Luzern

What does it mean to know something? What does it mean to prove something? And how are the two connected? Cara-Julie Kather explores mathematics as a way of thinking and being in the world. She investigates mathematics in its conceptual relation to Western understandings of the “rational” and the “human,” proposing possibilities of subverting Western mathematics and forming different mathematical practices. To engage in decolonial-feminist rewritings of the rational and the human requires rewriting mathematical practice too. This book seeks to inspire practices of rewriting thinking and being—in the realm of the mathematical and beyond. CARA-JULIE KATHER is a feminist theorist and writer.

Aesthetics and Politics After Analogy

Autism Portrayals in Young Adult Fiction

JULIUS SCHWARZWÄLDER, EDITORS “Scintillating.” —Martin Jay, Ehrman Professor of European History F O R S A L E I N T H E U N I T E D S TAT E S , C A N A D A , M E X I C O , C E N T R A L A M E R I C A , SOUTH AMERICA, THE CARIBBEAN, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, AND ASIA

Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley

Spaces of appearance come in many guises: a car crash in Vienna, a discussion forum in Dresden, a baker’s queue in Paris, an art festival in Shiraz, an unbuilt house in Istanbul, a law court in Berlin, a photograph from Arkansas. Taking their cue from Hannah Arendt’s influential concept, the case studies in this volume, written in close collaboration, examine how the perceptive standards of a given political situation can subtly change or consolidate. Supported by a wealth of images, this book demonstrates how the concept can be activated for innovative research—especially in cases where an understanding of aesthetics and politics needs to go beyond their analogization.

Fictional representations of autism hold immense power over social perception, yet such portrayals often remain stereotypical and one-dimensional. Drawing on discourse theory, Eva Charlotte Hesse explores the origins of autism stereotypes with regard to ideas of normality and deviance, their impact on the lives of autistic individuals, and the controversy surrounding definitions of autism. She offers criteria for the evaluation of autism portrayals while also pointing out prejudices and underlying power structures in the light of new medical findings, providing a critical perspective on current developments. EVA CHARLOTTE HESSE studied English, history, and

philosophy at Universität Kassel. In 2024 she completed her doctoral thesis on autism stereotypes in young adult fiction, which was awarded the Alfred Röver-Dissertationspreis.

The contributors to this volume explore the intertwined relationship of imagining and practicing from different fields of study (sociology, philosophy, literary and cultural studies), complementing practice and theoretical approaches with interdisciplinary insights into the entanglements of doings and imaginations. They build a bridge between sociological research and cultural studies, challenging perspectives that characterize imagining as an individual and solitary activity. Instead, imagining is situated and shaped by its placement in specific contexts and communities.

The current historical moment, often referred to as the Anthropocene, is defined by profound human influence on the planetary system. Lena Pfeifer examines how contemporary US-American literature negotiates the scalar and formal challenges posed by the Anthropocene. Connecting new formalist approaches with scale critique, she develops the concept of “Anthropocene affordances” as a new methodological framework for analyzing narrative responses to the ecological crisis. Through theoretical discussion and close readings, this book shows how contemporary writers reconfigure conventional forms and narrative strategies to critically discuss the role of the human as a geological force.

Water is our most precious resource and an element of culture historically charged with diverse meanings and values. Through the symbolic realms of literature, film, and visual arts, the contributors to this volume explore how the humanities can contribute to a critical understanding of human-water-power relationships and transform the debates on water dominated by natural sciences and techno-economic concerns. Examining the underrepresented cultural arenas in the socialist spaces of Eastern Europe, they focus on a variety of media and artistic practices. The late socialist era manifests as formative for the environmental discourses tied into local political and social contexts. JANA ROGOFF is an assistant professor at the Department

Since pre-Columbian times, human interventions in aquatic environments have shaped the geopolitics of Latin America. The contributors to this volume examine the relationship between water and politics in Latin America via readings of fiction and poetry by both renowned and upcoming writers.

The book reveals literary strategies that make it possible to share knowledge about other ways of organizing life in aquatic environments. BIEKE WILLEM is an assistant professor of Romance

Anna S. Berger explores how Victorian and Edwardian supernatural fiction reflects anxieties around imperial decline, compulsory heterosexuality, domestic instability, and shifting gender roles. From haunted houses to colonial outposts, male protagonists face spectral challenges to the imperial masculine ideal, paternal authority, and male rational control. By drawing on works by authors such as Rudyard Kipling, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Arthur Conan Doyle, this study reveals the ghost story as a site where normative masculinity falters—and alternative visions of male identity emerge.

In their literary works, African diasporic women articulate how the lived experience and subjugated status of women of African descent within local and global contexts are shaped by colonial and patriarchal networks of power. Using Black feminism as the overarching theory, Woman, African, Other unpacks how interlocking (lethal) structures of white supremacy, slavery, colonialism, cultural patriarchy, and misogynoir, as well as modified structures of neocolonialism, neoliberalism, racialized capitalism, Western humanitarianism, and postcolonial nationstate laws and narratives, affect the gendered experiences of women of African heritage and permit their continued humiliation in the global sphere.

Russia’s attack on Ukraine in 2022 was called a watershed in postwar European history. The West sees Putin’s Russia as attempting to restore the former Soviet Union. But Putin’s increasingly aggressive stance was also a reaction to Western politics. The real possibility of a new security and peace order in Europe in the 1990s was not pursued. Instead, NATO was enlarged to the east. Now, a massive arms buildup is on the way. Using historical sources, international news media, representative surveys, and personal interviews with people in Ukraine, Max Haller shows that this war was not predetermined and—following Kant—peace initiatives are possible even now.

As the fashion industry grapples with sustainability challenges, alternative models offer pathways to ethical and environmental transformation. Fair Fashion? critically examines the role of “fair trade” alongside concepts such as “social fashion,” “circular economy,” and “regenerative fashion,” highlighting their potential and limitations.

Holocaust Literature and Ego Documents

EDITORS

From the very beginning, writing about the Holocaust has been shaped by considerations of form, the limits of language, and the (im)possibilities of conveying knowledge to future generations. In recent years, scholars with a focus on agency, experience, and factuality have drawn attention to ego documents. The contributors to this volume bring together literary and historical perspectives on ego documents to discuss their relevance for Holocaust studies.

For the societies of Central and Eastern Europe, the century since the Balkan Wars has been a time of profound ruptures. This book examines how academic communities lived through different transitions, such as the collapse of empires, the two world wars, the Yugoslav and the post-Soviet wars. How did academic institutions relate to informal or underground social movements? What is the place of refugee scholars in the current moment of Russian expansionism? As they rethink the history of Europe’s universities, the contributors offer a new understanding of how knowledge communities have shaped and been shaped by upheaval, bridging the gap between histories of knowledge and political histories of the region.

Countering the Far Right in Europe and Beyond

Activist, Academic, and Artistic Resistance and Intervention MARIO FAUST-SCALISI AND SUSAN ARNDT, EDITORS

The far right and fascism are on the rise—again. The contributors to this volume bring together activist, scholarly, artistic, and journalistic expertise on populism and propaganda, governance and media communication, far-right violence and terrorism. They share resistance strategies for academia and activism as well as NGOs and civil rights movements.

The South American coca plant was established in nineteenth-century Britain as a medical product before it became a globally restricted drug. Drawing on botanical, economic, pharmaceutical, social, and political perspectives, Kim Embrey analyzes how the use and perception of coca changed as it was transferred to Europe. In a process of “cultural dissimilation,” coca was not simply adopted but embedded into new medical, social, and scientific contexts. The study shows how a plant from the Andes was repositioned in British modernity.

What became of the upsurge in civic action that saw millions of volunteers rally in support of migrants during the 2015–2016 refugee reception crisis in Germany? Clara van den Berg examines the aftermath of this mobilization, exploring how pro-refugee communities evolved. She provides fresh insights into how mobilization periods affect the local structure of civil society and its networks and offers a new perspective on the role of solidarity with refugees and migrants today.

This book brings together scholars, artists, museum professionals, and curators to show how Venice is a laboratory for addressing the challenges of the future and how the arts can contribute to an ecological transition and cultural regeneration.

The contributors to this volume explore the spaces of encounters between agents of diverse perspectives and across different scales and boundaries. Through the lens of urban contact zones, they reflect on diverse urban challenges, taking account of the past ten years and deliberating on what is next in international urbanism.

Anne Ring Petersen examines contemporary artistic representations of forced displacement, arguing that artistic and curatorial practices can help foster cultural citizenship among refugees and asylum seekers as well as deepening the understanding of refugeedom in host countries. Focusing on Denmark and including a chapter on Palestine, this study adds new perspectives to postmigration studies and a pioneering exploration of understudied material to art history.

Perspectives from an Indigenous Host Community in the Ecuadorian Amazon

Communication Beyond the Human

Conversing with Animals, the Dead and Deities among the Yukpa in Colombia ANNE GOLETZ

Volunteer tourism is a global trend in which travelers engage in voluntary work, often in social, environmental, or charitable projects. Stefanie Schien explores the lived experiences of a Shuar community in the Ecuadorian Amazon that hosts volunteer tourists. She challenges the view of locals as passive aid recipients and highlights how they actively navigate, negotiate, and leverage tourism to pursue their own strategies and motives.

The Yukpa of Sokorhpa in northwestern Colombia converse with animals, the dead, and deities. Anne Goletz examines a range of distinct communicative strategies, situations, and narratives, providing insights into present-day social dynamics. This ethnography offers an insightful conceptual perspective on communication beyond the human. ANNE GOLETZ is a social and cultural

anthropologist at Philipps-Universität Marburg.

How has the world lost three quarters of its crop diversity in less than a century? How does a collection of seeds frozen in the Arctic help face this loss and the growing threat of food insecurity? Franziska von Verschuer considers the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, showing that the future is more open than the popular story of the “doomsday vault” suggests.

This book presents bestpractice case studies of organizations that pursue sustainability as an external goal and in their internal organizational structure, implementing innovative and sustainable business designs in governance, networks, ownership, and finance.

Temporality and Aesthetic Regimes in the Black Atlantic 2

ANGELA STERCKEN

The concept of the Black Atlantic has been used to look at Black culture on all sides of the Atlantic in the context of migration, diaspora, and hybridity. This two-volume publication explores philosophical notions and aesthetic forms of temporality in the Black Atlantic.

In the first volume, Gabriele Genge provides insights into the artistic interest in debating and transcending modern ideas about time. GABRIELE GENGE is chairholder for

In the second volume, Angela Stercken shows how temporality and Blackness have become catalysts of a political and aesthetic repositioning in the United States in the context of Négritude and global debates since the 1940s and 1950s. ANGELA STERCKEN is a senior re-

searcher, curator, and author. While at the Universities of Düsseldorf, Munich, and Duisburg-Essen, she completed the research project, The Anachronic and the Present: Aesthetic Perception and Artistic Concepts of Temporality in the Black Atlantic.

Methods of Exhibition Analysis

Although it may seem unusual at first, many jazz musicians have large followings on TikTok. Benjamin Burkhart examines how popular jazz musicians use TikTok and how jazz is represented on the platform. Through interviews with popular content creators, the study shows that the socio-technical interaction between musicians and the platform leads to a very specific representation of jazz on TikTok. BENJAMIN BURKHART is a

musicologist at Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover.

ANUJA GHOSALKAR is a theater

The contributions to this volume present methods of exhibition analysis from the perspective of cultural analysis, perception studies, and practice-oriented work. They show how critically examining the effects and uses of exhibitions as public places allows us to change them as a result. LUISE REITSTÄTTER is co–principal

investigator of the FWF/DFG research project “The Museum Gaze.” CARLA-MARINKA SCHORR works at

Universität Würzburg as a researcher and project manager in the AHRC DFG research project “Cultural Dynamics: Museums and Democracy in Motion.”

EDITOR

ANNETTE ZIEGENMEYER,

How are music/sound and dance/movement interwoven in artistic processes? The contributors to this volume map a wide range of performances from different genres and styles, including those that transcend the stage, discussing relationships among music, its physicality, and moving bodies in artistic practice.

How will AI transform architecture? How can we conceptualize AI in the context of architecture? The contributors to this volume discuss different positions to understand the fundamental shift provoked by AI and to contextualize this shift in forms of operational theories and performative uses of the medium. The volume includes essays by practicing architects who explain how AI is used in their work, philosophers who reflect on the influence of AI on our way of thinking and conceptualizing the world, and scientists who explain the foundations and the potential of AI for architecture. ANDRI GERBER is cohead of the Institute of Constructive

Learning, Knowledge, and the Architecture of Libraries NICHOLAS RAY, AND MAXIMILIAN STERNBERG, EDITORS

In a time of change, concepts of human education that promise sustainability and a corresponding architecture of learning are needed. Based on the typology of the library, the contributors show how to develop an architecture for a comprehensive concept of education and how this built environment can support the transformation of knowledge into wisdom through experience.
