The Proletarian Dream
The proletariat never existed—but it had a profound effect on modern German culture and society. As the most radicalized part of the industrial working class, the proletariat embodied the critique of capitalism and the promise of socialism. But as a collective imaginary, the proletariat also inspired the fantasies, desires, and attachments necessary for transforming the working class into a historical subject and an emotional community. This book reconstructs this complicated and contradictory process through the countless treatises, essays, memoirs, novels, poems, songs, plays, paintings, photographs, and films produced in the name of the proletariat. The Proletarian Dream reads these for...
Combatting Child Abuse
The problem of child abuse has become increasingly evident in North America and Western Europe. Many countries are now struggling with issues involving the definition of child maltreatment, reporting requirements, processes for responding to reports, substantiation rates, and services to abused children and their families. This book illustrates alternative approaches to dealing with these problems by examining and comparing the designs of child abuse systems in nine countries: the US, English, Canada, Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Belgium, and Sweden.

The School of Days
The School of Days establishes Heinrich von Kleist as a strong voice within the pedagogical debates of his times. Through detailed analyses of works by Rousseau, Jean Paul Richter, Kant, and others, it traces Kleist's response to influential pedagogical theories of the mid-eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Nancy Nobile examines the relationship of theory and practice in education to illuminate the novelistic impulse, and thus the role of fiction, in pedagogical endeavors. Nobile demonstrates how Kleist's texts reveal the irrationality and antagonism often inherent in the ostensibly rational act of shaping human beings. She explores the dynamics of trauma in Kleist's depictions of ed...
Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion
The fairy tale may be one of the most important cultural and social influences on children's lives. But until Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion, little attention had been paid to the ways in which the writers and collectors of tales used traditional forms and genres in order to shape children's lives – their behavior, values, and relationship to society. As Jack Zipes convincingly shows, fairy tales have always been a powerful discourse, capable of being used to shape or destabilize attitudes and behavior within culture. For this new edition, the author has revised the work throughout and added a new introduction bringing this classic title up to date.
Child Protection Systems
This book builds upon and advances the comparative analysis of child protection systems that was conducted in the mid-1990s. Since the mid-1990s, however, much has changed in the realm of child welfare and how states define and deal with their responsibilities for children at risk. This book sets out to identify and analyse these changes and their implications, with a particular focus on assessing the extent to which the child protection and family service orientations continue to provide a helpful framework for understanding and comparing systems in different countries.

Kvinna med födelsemärke
”Hon betraktade namnen. Studerade dem ett och ett. Hon hade redan bestämt vem som skulle bli den förste, men låtsades ändå överväga det hela en gång till. Så drog hon en suck av tillfredsställelse och ringade in honom med en dubbel röd cirkel. Tände en cigarrett och började gå igenom scenariot.” En rad män nedskjutna av en mördare som agerar med osviklig precision. Vilka är orsakerna bakom dessa kallblodiga dåd? Vad betyder musiken som spelas i offrens telefoner? Kommissarie Van Veeteren gräver sig motvilligt djupare och djupare ned i ett fall där händelsekedjan löper långt tillbaka – en hel livstid. Kvinna med födelsemärke är den fjärde i Håkan Nessers flerfaldigt prisbelönta kriminalserie. ”Nesser är helt enkelt en av våra allra bästa berättare, oavsett genre, med ett lika brett som diskret utnyttjat register.” Expressen
