Give Me Life
Chicanismo, the idea of what it means to be Chicano, was born in the 1970s, when grassroots activists, academics, and artists joined forces in the civil rights movimiento that spread new ideas about Mexican American history and identity. The community murals those artists painted in the barrios of East Los Angeles were a powerful part of that cultural vitality, and these artworks have been an important feature of LA culture ever since. This book offers detailed analyses of individual East LA murals, sets them in social context, and explains how they were produced. The authors, leading experts on mural art, use a distinctive methodology, analyzing the art from aesthetic, political, and cultural perspectives to show how murals and graffiti reflected and influenced the Chicano civil rights movement. This publication is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Furthermore, a program of the J. M. Kaplan Fund.

Die Diskursethik im Spannungsfeld von Systemtheorie und Differenzphilosophie
Die maßgeblich von Jürgen Habermas ausgearbeitete Diskursethik zählt zu den einflussreichsten Gesamtentwürfen auf dem Gebiet der Praktischen Philosophie der Gegenwart. Christoph Seiler beleuchtet diese Moraltheorie aus den Blickwinkeln zweier ihrer bedeutendsten Gegenpositionen: Der Systemtheorie Niklas Luhmanns und der postmodernen Differenzphilosophie Jean-François Lyotards. Anhand der Einwände dieser Konzeptionen zeigt der Autor auf, dass der diskursive Konsens kein geeignetes Kriterium moralischer Richtigkeit ist und als ethischer Universalisierungsgrundsatz entscheidende Probleme der Moral, etwa ihren streiterzeugenden Charakter oder ihren Umgang mit perspektivischen Singularitäten, Brüchen und Differenzen, vernachlässigt.

The Jews of Jamaica
Centuries of Jewish Life are revealed in the terse inscriptions recorded in this book, most engraved by local non-Jewish masons. The brief data they present give the story of Jewish settlement in this Caribbean Island at the gateway to the New World. It is the story of brave entrepreneurs who sought to build a fresh life for themselves and their people and to create a bridge between the Old World and the New. The stones are sometimes the only historical source recording the existence of the individuals and their achievements. For this reason these inscriptions are important as a unique historical source for Jewish History.
