The Lunatic and the Lords

Schneider on Schneider
To listen to David M. Schneider is to hear the voice of American anthropology. To listen at length is to hear much of the discipline's history, from the realities of postwar practice and theory to Schneider's own influence on the development of symbolic and interpretive anthropology in the 1970s and 1980s. Schneider on Schneider offers readers this rare opportunity, and with it an engrossing introduction into a world of intellectual rigor, personal charm, and wit. In this work, based on conversations with Richard Handler, Schneider tells the story of his days devoted to anthropology--as a student of Clyde Kluckhohn and Talcott Parsons and as a writer and teacher whose work on kinship and cul...

The Death of a Butterfly
The Death of a Butterfly explores the mental health court and its relationship with the mentally disordered accused from the perspective of Justice Richard D. Schneider. The tales of life in the mental health court provide a compelling analysis of fitness to stand trial, what it means to be criminally responsible, and the role of mental disorders.
The Wall Jumper
Berlin before the fall of the Wall is a city divided, yet its ordinary residents find ways to live and survive on both sides. There is Robert, teller of bar room anecdotes over beer and vodka, adjusting to a new life in the west; Pommerer, trying to outwit the system in the east; the unnamed narrator, who 'escapes' back-and-forth to collect stories; his beguiling, exiled lover Lena; the three boys who defect to watch Hollywood films; and the man who leaps across the Wall again and again - simply because he cannot help himself. All are, in their different ways, wall jumpers, trying to lose themselves but still trapped wherever they go. Ultimately, the walls inside their heads prove to be more powerful than any man-made barrier . . .
In Search of Stonewall
The year was 1994. It was the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots and, as luck would have it, the year in which a new magazine called The Harvard Gay & Lesbian Review was publishing its first issue. The fact that The G&LR's first year coincided with Stonewall's 25th forever joined the magazine's history with the founding event of the modern LGBT movement. This book commemorates The G&LR's 25th birthday with a collection of relevant articles selected from its 136 issues.
