Inside the Citadel: Men and the Emancipation of Women 1850-1920
by R. SymondsThis book discusses the contribution of individual men to the emancipation of women between 1860 and 1920. These include the pioneer of feminism, J.S. Mill, the allies of Josephine Butler, the men who risked imprisonment for making available information on contraception and sympathetic writers such as Meredith and Shaw. There are also chapters on the suffrage, education, religion, medicine and entry to other professions. The role of men in the removal of women's social disabilities is described as well as Gandhi's innovative involvement of women in the independence movement.
The Insistence of the Indian: Race and Nationalism in Nineteenth-Century American Culture
by Susan ScheckelAmericans' first attempts to forge a national identity coincided with the apparent need to define--and limit--the status and rights of Native Americans. During these early decades of the nineteenth century, the image of the "Indian" circulated throughout popular culture--in the novels of James Fenimore Cooper, plays about Pocahontas, Indian captivity narratives, Black Hawk's autobiography, and visitors' guides to the national capitol. In exploring such sources as well as the political and legal rhetoric of the time, Susan Scheckel argues that the "Indian question" was intertwined with the ways in which Americans viewed their nation's past and envisioned its destiny. She shows how the Indians provided a crucial site of reflection upon national identity. And yet the Indians, by being denied the natural rights upon which the constitutional principles of the United States rested, also challenged American convictions of moral ascendancy and national legitimacy.Scheckel investigates, for example, the Supreme Court's decision on Indian land rights and James Fenimore Cooper's popular frontier romance The Pioneers: both attempted to legitimate American claims to land once owned by Indians and to assuage guilt associated with the violence of conquest by incorporating the Indians in a version of the American political "family." Alternatively, the widely performed Pocahontas plays dealt with the necessity of excluding Indians politically, but also portrayed these original inhabitants as embodying the potential of the continent itself. Such examples illustrate a gap between principles and practice. It is from this gap, according to the author, that the nation emerged, not as a coherent idea or a realist narrative, but as an ongoing performance that continues to play out, without resolution, fundamental ambivalences of American national identity.

Institution Organisation Bewegung: Sozialformen der Religion im Wandel (Veröffentlichungen der Sektion Religionssoziologie der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Soziologie #2)
by Michael Krüggeler Karl Gabriel Winfried GebhardtDas Buch zeigt, daß sich religiöse Organisationen zwischen modernen Organisationsstrukturen und religiöser Semantik bewähren müssen. Dadurch wird die Erforschung religiösen Wandels erneut in den Blick gebracht. Religion als soziales System läßt sich im Spannungsfeld der Begriffe "Institutionen - Organisation - Bewegung" beschreiben. Institution und Bewegung können gleichsam als die Extremformen religiöser Vergemeinschaftung bzw. Vergesellschaftung gelten: Bewegung steht für das schöpferisch-revolutionäre Element des Religiösen. Institution steht demgegenüber für habitualisierte, sozial und rechtlich verfaßte und zum Teil hierarchisch gegliederte Formelemente des Religiösen. Mit der gegenwärtigen Deinstitutionalisierung der Konfessionskirchen entfaltet sich die Struktur des Religionssystems in seiner Komplexität: Die Kirchen als religiöse Institutionen übernehmen unter dem Druck einer sich erfolgreich organisierenden Umwelt mehr und mehr den Charakter formaler Organisationen. Auf der anderen Seite verlieren auch religiöse Bewegungen ihre charismatische Unschuld: Gesinnungsethische Normativität kann sich oftmals nur unter Einsatz hochstrukturierter Mechanismen soziale Geltung verschaffen. Der vorliegende Band analysiert das modernisierte religiöse Feld als Spannungsverhältnis von religiöser Institution, Organisation und Bewegung. Er möchte damit einer Perspektive der Erforschung religiösen Wandels unter strukturellen Aspekten erneut Aufmerksamkeit verschaffen.

Internal Migration in Contemporary China
by D. DavinAs China moves from a society controlling all aspects of life, including population movement, to something nearer a market economy, migration has become a live issue. Tens of millions of rural migrants have entered China's cities, meeting discrimination similar to that experienced by economic migrants in the West. This book looks to the reasons why people leave certain areas, the lives of migrants and government policy towards them. It distinguishes different types of migration and looks particularly at marriage migration and the effects of migration on the lives of women.

Interpreting Weight: The Social Management of Fatness and Thinness
by Jeffery SobalWhat is "too fat"? what is "too thin"? Interpretations of body weight vary widely across and within cultures. Meeting weight expectations is a major concern for many people because failing to do so may incur dire social consequences, such as difficulty in finding a romantic partner or even in locating adequate employment. without these social and cultural pressures, body weight would only be a health issue. while socially constructed standards of body weight may seem immutable, they are continuously recreated through social interactions that perpetuate or transform expectations about fatness and thinness. Written by sociologists, psychologists, and nutritionists, all of the chapters in this book focus on how people construct fatness and thinness, examining different strategies used to interpret body weight, such as negotiating weight identities, reinterpreting weight, and becoming involved in weight-related organizations. Together these chapters emphasize the many ways that people actively define, construct, and enact their fatness and thinness in a variety of settings and situations.

Interregionale Zusammenarbeit in der EU: Analysen zur Partnerschaft zwischen Hessen, der Emilia-Romagna und der Aquitaine (Regionalisierung in Europa #1)
by Dieter Eißel Alexander Grasse Björn Paeschke Ralf SängerWährend Ansätze der grenzübergreifenden Zusammenarbeit auf regionaler Ebene bereits vielfältig dokumentiert sind, fehlen weithin Untersuchungen zu dem jungen Praxisfeld der Partnerschaft von entfernt liegenden Regionen, die ihr Kooperationsprogramm weder aus der nachbarschaftlichen geographischen Lage, noch aus einer daraus unmittelbar abgeleiteten gemeinsamen Themenbetroffenheit gewinnen. Mit der Aufarbeitung von Entstehungsgeschichte, Verlaufsprozeß und vorläufigen Ergebnissen einer solchen interregionalen Kooperation leistet die vorliegende Publikation einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Schließung dieser Forschungslücke.
