Making Gender Salient
Do gender quota laws – policies that mandate women's inclusion on parties' candidate slates – affect policy outcomes? Making Gender Salient tackles this crucial question by offering a new theory to understand when and how gender quota laws impact policy. Drawing on cross-national data from high-income democracies and a mixed-methods research design, the book argues that quotas lead to policy change for issues characterized by a gender gap in preferences, especially if these issues deviate from the usual left/right party policy divide. The book focuses on one such issue, work-family policies, and finds that quotas shift work-family policies in the direction of gender equality. Substantive chapters show that quotas make gender more salient by giving women louder voices within parties, providing access to powerful ministerial roles, and encouraging male party leaders to compete on previously marginalized issues. The book concludes that quotas are one important way of facilitating congruence between women's policy preferences and actual policy outcomes.
Remembering for the Future
Focused on 'The Holocaust in an Age of Genocide', Remembering for the Future brings together the work of nearly 200 scholars from more than 30 countries and features cutting-edge scholarship across a range of disciplines, amounting to the most extensive and powerful reassessment of the Holocaust ever undertaken. In addition to its international scope, the project emphasizes that varied disciplinary perspectives are needed to analyze and to check the genocidal forces that have made the Twentieth century so deadly. Historians and ethicists, psychologists and literary scholars, political scientists and theologians, sociologists and philosophers - all of these, and more, bring their expertise to bear on the Holocaust and genocide. Their contributions show the new discoveries that are being made and the distinctive approaches that are being developed in the study of genocide, focusing both on archival and oral evidence, and on the religious and cultural representation of the Holocaust.
Diamonds and War
The mining of diamonds, their trading mechanisms, their financial institutions, and, not least, their cultural expressions as luxury items have engaged the work of historians, economists, social scientists, and international relations experts. Based on previously unexamined historical documents found in archives in Belgium, England, Israel, the Netherlands, and the United States, this book is the first in English to tell the story of the formation of one of the world’s main strongholds of diamond production and trade in Palestine during the 1930s and 1940s. The history of the diamond-cutting industry, characterized by a long-standing Jewish presence, is discussed as a social history embedd...
The Fragility of Law
The Fragility of Law examines the ways in which, during the Second World War, the Belgian government and judicial structure became implicated in the identification, exclusion and killing of its Jewish residents, and in the theft - through Aryanization - of Jewish property. David Fraser demonstrates how a series of political and legal compromises meant that the infrastructure for antisemitic persecutions and ultimately the deaths of thousands of Belgian Jews was Belgian. Based on extensive archival research in Belgium, France, the United States and Israel, The Fragility of Law offers the first detailed exploration in English of this intriguing and virtually unexplored episode of Holocaust his...
Je ne suis pas antisémite, mais...
Ni Merah, ni Nemmouche, ni Coulibaly ne sont nés par génération spontanée. Ils se sont construits sur un échafaudage de haines, de confusions, de préjugés et de généralisations qui leur ont donné bonne conscience. Même au moment de tuer d'une balle dans la tête une petite fille de 7 ans, comme à Toulouse. Car, aussi provoquante que soit cette réalité, il faut le dire : ce qui est inquiétant n'est pas seulement que l'on tue des Juifs, c'est aussi qu'on le fasse en pensant agir ainsi au nom du bien ou de la justice. Dans les mois qui ont suivi ces crimes, la situation a continué à se détériorer. Entre insultes, tags, menaces, agressions verbales, physiques et cris de morts aux Juifs, profanations de sépultures, glorification des assassins sur les réseaux sociaux ou sur les murs de nos villes, le nombre de violences antisémites n'a pas cessé d'augmenter. Cet ouvrage présente les différents visages de ce nouvel antisémitisme.

Vreemdelingen in een wereldstad
Tot in de jaren 1920 heerste in Antwerpen al bij al een tolerant klimaat tegenover joden. 'Vreemdelingen in een wereldstad' beschrijft hoe de vreemdelingenhaat de kop opsteekt in het Antwerpen van de jaren 1930, zich aanvankelijk vooral nestelt in kringen van Belgisch-nationalisten, en niet in die van het verdraagzamer Vlaams-nationalisme, en uiteindelijk een catastrofaal culminatiepunt bereikt tijdens de bezetting. De lakse houding van vele gezagsdragers en het gebrek aan (passief) verzet in het algemeen waren uiteindelijk bepalend voor het hoge Antwerpse deportatiecijfer.

Searching for Justice After the Holocaust
The Nazis and their state-sponsored cohorts stole mercilessly from the Jews of Europe. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, returning survivors had to navigate a frequently unclear path to recover their property from governments and neighbors who had failed to protect them and who often had been complicit in their persecution. This book is about the less publicized area of post-Holocaust restitution involving immovable (real) property confiscated from European Jews and others during World War II.
