Reakcja na wielokrotne wykluczenie
Książka przedstawia intersekcjonalną analizę mobilizacji, strategii działania i osiągnięć ruchu kobiet indiańskich w Kanadzie w latach 1968–1985. Status kobiet indiańskich (determinowany przez płeć, klasę społeczną oraz przynależność do grupy rdzennej ludności Kanady) wpływał na możliwości i ograniczenia polityczne ruchu Indianek, jego działania i strategie mobilizacyjne, a także na wykorzystywane przezeń ramy interpretacyjne. Analiza ruchu ukazuje szereg zjawisk, takich jak przyczyny i skutki społeczne wielowymiarowej dyskryminacji kobiet oraz jego uwarunkowania etniczne, klasowe czy genderowe. Publikacja przedstawia także oddziaływanie historycznego już ruch...
Przewodnik po konstytucji Kanady. Cz. 1, Akt Konstytucyjny z 1867 roku
Część pierwsza Przewodnika po konstytucji Kanady omawia w syntetyczny sposób Akt Konstytucyjny z 1867 r. Ten liczący niemal 150 lat pierwszy z dwóch podstawowych dokumentów pisanej konstytucji Kanady zawiera podstawy ustrojowe tego państwa. Ich zrozumienie jest bardzo trudne bez znajomości kontekstu historycznego, zapisów innych aktów prawnych, a przede wszystkim bez uwzględnienia wpływu niepisanych elementów o charakterze konstytucyjnym, zwłaszcza konwenansów konstytucyjnych. W istotny sposób modyfikują one, a w niektórych przypadkach całkowicie wręcz zmieniają znaczenie zapisów powstałych w XIX wieku. Celem Przewodnika po konstytucji Kanady jest uzupełnienie polskich opracowań dotyczących systemu politycznego Kanady, poprzez interpretację wszystkich artykułów Aktu Konstytucyjnego z 1867 r. Publikacja nie ma jednak charakteru wyczerpującego, a jej założeniem jest przystępne wprowadzenie Czytelnika w niezwykle obszerną problematykę konstytucjonalizmu kanadyjskiego.
Women Rising
Groundbreaking essays by female activists and scholars documenting women’s resistance before, during, and after the Arab Spring Images of women protesting in the Arab Spring, from Tahrir Square to the streets of Tunisia and Syria, have become emblematic of the political upheaval sweeping the Middle East and North Africa. In Women Rising, Rita Stephan and Mounira M. Charrad bring together a provocative group of scholars, activists, artists, and more, highlighting the first-hand experiences of these remarkable women. In this relevant and timely volume, Stephan and Charrad paint a picture of women’s political resistance in sixteen countries before, during, and since the Arab Spring protests first began in 2011. Contributors provide insight into a diverse range of perspectives across the entire movement, focusing on often-marginalized voices, including rural women, housewives, students, and artists. Women Rising offers an on-the-ground understanding of an important twenty-first century movement, telling the story of Arab women’s activism.

The SAGE Handbook of Nations and Nationalism
′With its list of distinguished contributors and its wide range of topics, the handbook is surely destined to become an invaluable resource for all serious students of nationalism′ - Michael Billig, Professor of Social Sciences at Loughborough University and author of ′Banal Nationalism′ (SAGE 1995) ′The persistence - some would say: revival - of nationalism across the recent history of modernity, in particular the past two decades, has taken many scholars in the social sciences by surprise. In response, interest in the analysis of nationalism has increased and given rise to a great variety of new angles under which to study the phenomenon. What was missing in the cacophony of voic...
Prehypertension and Cardiometabolic Syndrome
This book sheds new light on the management of patients with borderline cardiovascular risk factors in order to prevent their progression to end organ damage. The book stimulates discussion of this poorly understood condition and lays the groundwork for developing recommendations and guidelines. While the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to full-blown diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and obesity is well defined, there is still a lack of clear understanding and guidelines as far as patients with borderline conditions – especially when multiple – are concerned. Moreover, end-organ damage depends on several factors, including genetic factors, making it difficult to predict its extent...
The International Social Survey Programme 1984-2009
The social sciences rely more on the comparative method than on experimental data mainly because the latter is difficult to acquire amongst human populations. The International Social Survey Programme has played a pioneering role in creating and sustaining methodologically-sophisticated mass attitude surveys across the globe. Starting in 1984 with five nations, it now encompasses forty-five nations spread over five continents, each administering an identical annual survey to a random sample of their population. Analyses of the data or descriptions of the methodology already appear in over 3,000 publications. This book contains new contributions from three dozen eminent scholars who analyse and compare the perceptions and attitudes of citizens across all five continents, nations and over time. Subjects range from inequality and the role of the state; ethnic, national and global identities; the changing relevance of religion, beliefs and practices; gender roles, family values and work orientations; household and society. Some chapters focus on methodological issues; others focus on substantive findings. This book sets new standards for cross-cultural research.
Awakening Bharat Mata
The rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was much more than an ordinary electoral phenomenon: it brought to the fore two contrasting views of nationhood: between those who saw modern India in terms of secular republicanism and on the other hand were those who sought to blend technological modernity with the country's Hindu inheritance. The Right's ascendancy and the debates that accompanied it, anticipated many of the concerns that find reflection today in the United States and Europe. The phenomenon of Hindu nationalism was also a profound intellectual challenge to the loose Left-liberal consensus that had prevailed in India since Jawaharlal Nehru became Prime Minister in 1947. The idea...

The Rights and Responsibilities of the Modern University
This substantially revised and updated second edition includes discussion of recent judicial, legislative and regulatory college safety mandates, modern risk management and prevention practices, and the explosion in college safety and wellness issues (suicide, active shooter violence, sexual assault, etc.) while remaining faithful to the core vision of the first edition. The second edition also addresses the disturbing rise of a new nemesis of the facilitator university -- "Compliance U." Crushing new regulatory burdens significantly impact academic freedom and autonomy, and may interfere with the facilitator's chief goal of creating a sustainable, reasonably safe and responsible college env...
