The Challenges of a Secular Quebec
In 2019, the Quebec National Assembly passed Bill 21. It prohibits, among other things, certain state employees in positions of authority (including teachers, prison guards, police officers, and justices of the peace) from wearing religious symbols when providing public services. Many political commentators denounced the move as running counter to Canadian multiculturalism and human rights. Why did the government adopt this form of state secularism? And why did it garner public support? The Challenges of a Secular Quebec provides illuminating answers to these questions and explores why many Quebecers consider the law legitimate. Contributors analyze the statute from different angles to provide a nuanced, respectful discussion of its intentions and principles. Given the province’s singular history in North America, the merits of the initiative to separate church and state must be considered within the Quebec context. The Challenges of a Secular Quebec calls for a legal interpretation of Bill 21 that is sensitive to this difference.
Migration from the Russian Empire: June 1889-July 1890
These two volumes continue the work of documenting all 2.3 million immigrants from the Russian Empire who arrived in the United States between 1871 & 1910. Several nationalities or ethnic groups were represented in this migration-Poles, Byelorussians, Ukrainians, Jews, Finns, Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, & Germans (the socalled Volga Germans). These ethnic Russians emigrated in far greater numbers than indigenous Russians, as reflected in the fact that of the 1.7 million Russian emigrants who arrived in the U.S. between 1899 & 1910, 43 percent were Jews, 27 percent Poles, 9 percent Lithuanians, 8 percent Finns, 5 percent Germans, & 4 percent indigenous Russians. The first four volumes o...

Supermadre
The title of this book, Supermadre, is ironic. It means, not that women have begun to exercise real power in Latin American political life, but that their participation is mostly confined to roles that are extensions of their roles as mothers—health, education, welfare, for example—and then only on the lower levels of policy-making. Elsa Chaney begins her study with an examination of various attempts to explain women's virtual absence from decision-making councils not only in Latin America but also world-wide, concluding that their motherhood role has had the profoundest effect on the nature of their political activities. She then analyzes the images and realities of women in Latin American society from colonial times to the present. The remainder of the book is a detailed study of women in politics and government in Latin America, with emphasis on the contrasting cases of Peru and Chile. In conclusion, Chaney suggests that women will make only slow progress toward full participation in public life until they themselves stop seeing their role in politics as that of the supermadre.

Pietismus im Sozialismus
Seit ihrer Gründung im 18. Jahrhundert hat die Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine mit zivilgesellschaftlichem Engagement und internationalen Verbindungen eine wichtige Rolle innerhalb des Protestantismus gespielt. Wie ging die sozialistische Obrigkeit der DDR mit dieser pietistischen Gemeinschaft um? Wie gelang es den Herrnhutern, im Sozialismus zu überleben? Wie weit passten sie sich an und wie weit wurden Glaubenspraxis und Selbstverständnis modifiziert? Hedwig Richter wirft allgemeine Probleme des Verhältnisses zwischen Herrschaft und Gesellschaft in der Diktatur ebenso auf wie transfergeschichtliche Fragen nach den Möglichkeiten eines internationalen Austausches über den Eisernen Vorhang hinweg.
