Manusia tempatnya alpa dan lupa. Teguran-Nya indah, terlebih saat manusia hijrah. Ya, hijrah ke Negeri Sakura telah membuka mata hati saya untuk menemukan hikmah perjalanan. Kata Rasulullah, hikmah adalah barang yang hilang milik orang beriman, di mana saja ia menemukannya, maka ambillah. Saat di Jepang, saya sekolah kehidupan. Ada tentang perjuangan, ketulusan, pengabdian, penerimaan. Saya dibuat takjub dengan apa yang ada. Jepang, darimu aku belajar, makna sesungguhnya dari kesabaran, juga diam tanpa membalas dendam. Lihat Nagasaki dan Hiroshima, keduanya kini tegak berdiri walau tertatih di awal. Perjuangan yang tak boleh kita hentikan. Kalian yang sedang berjuang, percayalah … Allah hanya sedang menguji keyakinan kalian akan pertolongan-Nya. Allah hanya ingin kalian yakin saja bahwa bersama Allah, semua akan baik-baik saja. Akiramenai! Terus melangkah, berserah, dan tak menyerah.

The Glory of Sri Sri Ganesh shows the lives of the underdogs the Lachhimsa, the Rukmanis, the Mohors and the Haroas as a contrast to the lives of their all-powerful overlords the Medinis and Ganeshes. Lachhima, whose leashed bitterness and anger of a lifetime against Medini and Ganesh is liberated at the end of the novel when Ganesh begs her to save his life, decides to save him, but on her own terms. The title of the work itself becomes a tool for subversion in this sprawling novel which takes the reader through a multilayered narrative into the socio-economic malaise of post-independence rural India. Mahasweta Devi s corrosive humour and cryptic style are at their best as she takes on issu...
This open access book applies for the first time emerging concepts of socioeconomics to analyse an economic sector, namely agriculture. It considers the rational choices of all actors in the system (just as agricultural economists do) and their cultural preferences and constraints (just as rural sociologists do). Socioeconomic concepts are subsequently used to structure agricultural issues with regard to the three governance mechanisms (hierarchy, markets, and cooperation), and different agricultural systems are presented and compared. The book will be of interest to social scientists with various backgrounds, and seeks to break down the barriers of single-disciplinary thinking.

Unravelling Gramsci makes extensive use of Antonio Gramsci’s writings, including his much-overlooked pre-prison journalism, prison letters, as well as his prison notebooks, to provide a fresh approach to understanding his contemporary relevance in the current neoliberal world order. Adam Morton examines in detail the themes of hegemony, passive revolution and uneven development to provide a useful way of analysing the contemporary global political economy, the project of neoliberalism, processes of state formation, and practices of resistance. The book explores the theoretical and practical limitations of how Gramsci’s ideas can be used today, offering a broad insight into state formation and the international factors shaping hegemony within a capitalist framework.
Humor permeates every aspect of society and has done so for thousands of years. People experience it daily through television, newspapers, literature, and contact with others. Rarely do social researchers analyze humor or try to determine what makes it such a dominating force in our lives. The types of jokes a person enjoys contribute significantly to the definition of that person as well as to the character of a given society. Arthur Asa Berger explores these and other related topics in An Anatomy of Humor. He shows how humor can range from the simple pun to complex plots in Elizabethan plays.Berger examines a number of topics ethnicity, race, gender, politics each with its own comic dimens...
