The Stratifying Trade Union
This book examines a basic assumption behind most of the critical, progressive thinking of our times: that trade unions are necessarily tools for solidarity and are integral to a more equal and just society. Shaul A. Duke assesses the trade union's potential to promote equality in ethnically and racially diverse societies by offering an in-depth look into how unions operate; how power flows between union levels; where inequality originates; and the role of union members in union dynamics. By analyzing the trade union's effects on working-class inequality in Palestine during 1920-1948, this book shifts the conventional emphasis on worker-employer relations to that of worker-worker relations. It offers a conceptualization of how strong union members directed union policy from below in order to eliminate competition, often by excluding marginalized groups. The comparison of the union experiences of Palestinian-Arabs, Jewish-Yemeni immigrants, and Jewish women offers a fresh look into the labor history of Palestine and its social stratification.
Henriette Arendt
Henriette Arendt (1874–1922) war eine schillernde Persönlichkeit des öffentlichen Lebens in der Zeit vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg. In zahlreichen Veröffentlichungen prangerte sie soziale Missstände an. Aus einer wohlhabenden jüdischen Familie stammend (sie war die Tante von Hannah Arendt), arbeitete sie in einer von Männern dominierten Welt viele Jahre lang als Krankenschwester, Polizeiassistentin und Aktivistin gegen den Kinderhandel. Detail- und quellenreich gelingt es der Autorin, Henriette Arendts Leben und Wirken, ihre Kämpfe und Krisen lebendig nachzuzeichnen. Aber auch die Entwicklung und enge Verzahnung von Pflegearbeit, sozialer Fürsorgearbeit sowie bürgerlicher Frauenbewegung werden im Spiegel der individuellen Lebensgestaltung Henriette Arendts beleuchtet. Dabei erscheinen die Lebens- und Arbeitsumstände der damals in der Pflege Tätigen in einem neuen, teilweise erschütternden Licht.

Life Conduct in Modern Times
This award-winning book investigates the critique of psychoanalysis formulated by the psychiatrist and philosopher Karl Jaspers (1883-1969) over some five decades, systematically examining Jasper’s arguments against Freud and his followers. The book traces the medico-historical roots of Jasper’s criticism of psychoanalysis and places it within the framework of scientific theory before devoting itself extensively to medico-ethical aspects of the controversy, which are ultimately treated in terms of a history of mentalities.
In the House of the Law
In an rewarding new study, Tucker explores the way in which Islamic legal thinkers understood Islam as it related to women and gender roles. In seventeenth and eighteenth century Syria and Palestine, Muslim legal thinkers gave considerable attention to women's roles in society, and Tucker shows how fatwas, or legal opinions, greatly influenced these roles. She challenges prevailing views on Islam and gender, revealing Islamic law to have been more fluid and flexible than previously thought. Although the legal system had a consistent patriarchal orientation, it was modulated by sensitivities to the practical needs of women, men, and children. In her comprehensive overview of a field long negl...
