Custom and Politics in Urban Africa - Abner Cohen - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Custom & Politics in Urban Africa: A Study of Hausa Migrants in Yoruba Towns offers a detailed examination of the intersection of custom, politics, and long-distance trade within the urban settings of West Africa. This scholarly work focuses on the Hausa communities in Yoruba towns, exploring how these migrant groups maintain cultural distinctiveness while adapting to new political and economic realities. Through an intensive study of the Hausa diaspora, the book highlights how traditional norms, values, and ceremonial practices are used to establish informal political organizations. These structures not only safeguard economic monopolies but also navigate the complexities of ethnic interaction and political power in rapidly evolving urban environments. Based on extensive fieldwork conducted in Nigeria from 1962 to 1963, the monograph provides a micro-historical perspective, tracing the sociopolitical and economic dynamics of Hausa communities within the broader context of post-colonial change. By analyzing processes such as ethnic reorganization, religious transformations, and the intricate workings of long-distance trade in cattle and kola, the book illuminates how ethnic groups use custom as a political strategy in diverse settings. Drawing on comparative analyses, the work contributes to understanding political ethnicity as a global phenomenon and positions social anthropology as integral to the study of power, identity, and societal transformation in modern contexts. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology.

Transparent and Reproducible Social Science Research - Jeremy Freese - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Transparent and Reproducible Social Science Research - Jeremy Freese - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Recently, social science has had numerous episodes of influential research that was found invalid when placed under rigorous scrutiny. The growing sense that many published results are potentially erroneous has made those conducting social science research more determined to ensure the underlying research is sound. Transparent and Reproducible Social Science Research is the first book to summarize and synthesize new approaches to combat false positives and non-reproducible findings in social science research, document the underlying problems in research practices, and teach a new generation of students and scholars how to overcome them. Understanding that social science research has real consequences for individuals when used by professionals in public policy, health, law enforcement, and other fields, the book crystallizes new insights, practices, and methods that help ensure greater research transparency, openness, and reproducibility. Readers are guided through well-known problems and are encouraged to work through new solutions and practices to improve the openness of their research. Created with both experienced and novice researchers in mind, Transparent and Reproducible Social Science Research serves as an indispensable resource for the production of high quality social science research.

The Custom House of Desire - - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

The Custom House of Desire - - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

The Custom-House of Desire: A Half-Century of Surrealist Stories is an intriguing anthology that explores the breadth and depth of surrealist storytelling over a fifty-year period. Through the lens of both imagination and desire, the collection reveals how surrealist writers challenge conventional narrative forms and literary genres to uncover the marvelous—a perspective on reality that transcends ordinary perception. This anthology presents stories written in French by authors from diverse national and cultural backgrounds, such as Fernando Arrabal, Joyce Mansour, and André Pieyre de Mandiargues, showcasing the movement’s global influence and thematic diversity. The selected works range from fully structured tales to experimental narratives, reflecting surrealism’s disdain for traditional literary conventions and its relentless pursuit of the ineffable. The book invites readers to engage with surrealist writing on their own terms, offering a flexible arrangement of stories that encourage exploration based on curiosity, themes, or the appeal of individual authors. Themes such as humor, terror, eroticism, and the surrealist marvelous weave through the collection, each serving as an entry point into the movement’s radical reimagining of storytelling. Through these narratives, readers encounter the surrealist’s rejection of literary orthodoxy and aesthetic formalism in favor of a poetic vision driven by imagination and boundless desire. Whether exploring the disorienting humor of Marianne van Hirtum or the evocative eroticism of Markale, the anthology underscores surrealism’s enduring ambition: to redefine human experience and transform our understanding of reality. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology.

On Shifting Ground - Jamie Fader - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

On Shifting Ground - Jamie Fader - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

On Shifting Ground examines how it is to become a man in a place and time defined by economic contraction and carceral expansion. Jamie J. Fader draws on in-depth interviews with a racially diverse sample of Philadelphia's millennial men to analyze the key tensions that organize their lives: isolation versus connectedness, stability versus "drama," hope versus fear, and stigma and shame versus positive, masculine affirmation. In the unfamiliar cultural landscape of contemporary adult masculinity, these men strive to define themselves in terms of what they can accomplish despite negative labels, as well as seeking to avoid "becoming a statistic" in the face of endemic risk.

Profit and Passion - Nicole Von Germeten - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Profit and Passion - Nicole Von Germeten - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Colonial documents and works of literature from early modern Spain are rife with references to public women, whores, and prostitutes. In Profit and Passion, Nicole von Germeten offers a new history of the women who carried and resisted these labels of ill repute. The elusive, ever-changing terminology for prosecuted women voiced by kings, jurists, magistrates, inquisitors, and bishops, as well as disgruntled husbands and neighbors, foreshadows the increasing regulation, criminalization, and polarizing politics of modern global transactional sex. The author’s analysis concentrates on the words women spoke in depositions and court appearances and on how their language changed over time, pointing to a broader transformation in the history of sexuality, gender, and the ways in which courts and law enforcement processes affected women.

The Concept of Neutrality in Classical Greece - Robert A. Bauslaugh - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

The Concept of Neutrality in Classical Greece - Robert A. Bauslaugh - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Looking at Classical warfare from the perspective of the non-belligerents, Robert A. Bauslaugh brings together the scattered evidence testifying to neutral behavior among the Greek city-states and their non-Greek neighbors. Were the Argives of 480/479 B.C. really "Medizers," as many have accused, or were they pursuing a justifiable policy of neutrality as they claimed? On what basis in international law or custom did the Corcyraeans claim non-alignment? Why were the leading belligerent states willing to accept the inclusion of a "neutrality clause" in the Common Peace of 371? These questions have not been asked by historians of international law, and the answers provide a far more complex and sophisticated picture of interstate relations than has so far been available. Despite the absence of exclusively diplomatic language, the concept of respect for neutrals appears early in Greek history and remains a nearly constant feature of Classical wars. The problems confronting uncommitted states, which have clear parallels in modern history, were balanced by widespread acceptance of the need for limitations on the chaos of warfare.

Crimes in Archival Form - Prof. Dr. Ken Maclean - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Crimes in Archival Form - Prof. Dr. Ken Maclean - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Crimes in Archival Form explores the many ways in which human rights "facts" are produced rather than found. Using Myanmar as his case study, Ken MacLean examines the fact-finding practices of a human rights group, two cross-border humanitarian agencies, an international law clinic, and a global NGO-led campaign. Foregrounding fact-finding, in critical yet constructive ways, prompts long overdue conversations about the possibilities and limits of human rights documentation as a mode of truth-seeking. Such conversations are particularly urgent in an era when the perpetrators of large-scale human rights violations exploit misinformation, weaponize disinformation, and employ outright falsehoods, including deepfakes, to undermine the credibility of those who document abuses and demand accountability in the court of public opinion and in courts of law. MacLean compels practitioners and scholars alike to be more transparent about how human rights "fact" production works, why it is important, and when its use should prompt concern.

Frame by Frame - Hannah Frank - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

At publication date, a free ebook version of this title will be available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. In this beautifully written and deeply researched study, Hannah Frank provides an original way to understand American animated cartoons from the Golden Age of animation (1920–1960). In the pre-digital age of the twentieth century, the making of cartoons was mechanized and standardized: thousands of drawings were inked and painted onto individual transparent celluloid sheets (called “cels”) and then photographed in succession, a labor-intensive process that was divided across scores of artists and technicians. In order to see the art, labor, and technology of cel animation, Frank slows cartoons down to look frame by frame, finding hitherto unseen aspects of the animated image. What emerges is both a methodology and a highly original account of an art formed on the assembly line.

Comparison of Economic Systems - - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Comparison of Economic Systems - - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Comparison of Economic Systems: Theoretical and Methodological Approaches offers a profound exploration of the analytical frameworks and methodologies that define the field of comparative economics. Emerging from a University of Michigan research conference, the book charts the evolution of comparative economic systems as a discipline, initially focused on evaluating grand “isms” like capitalism and socialism. It shifts the focus toward a nuanced understanding of the traits, institutions, and decision-making mechanisms that influence economic behavior and performance across different systems. By examining theoretical models, such as those proposed by Koopmans, Montias, and Hurwicz, the volume highlights the interplay of variables like property relations, incentive structures, and resource allocation methods within mixed economic systems. The book seeks to bridge ideological labels with empirical data, fostering a more sophisticated analysis of economic systems in practice. This collection is not just an academic critique of economic ideologies but also a practical guide to comparing performance metrics like growth, efficiency, and stability across national economies. It delves into contemporary challenges, including decision-making in large bureaucracies, the role of public versus private ownership, and the impact of technological advancement on economic organization. With contributions from leading economists and case studies, such as Bergson's work on the Soviet Union and the United States, the book underscores the necessity of interdisciplinary approaches to refine the methodologies of comparative economics. It is an essential resource for economists and policy analysts seeking to understand the complexities of economic systems and their implications for global development.

Labeling the Mentally Retarded - Jane R. Mercer - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Labeling the Mentally Retarded - Jane R. Mercer - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

This eight-year study of an American city traces the answer to the question "Who is retarded?" by analyzing the labeling process in a large number of community agencies. Data for the study are drawn from a representative sample of 7,000 persons under fifty years of age who were tested ans screened for "symptoms" of mental retardation. The author finds that that schools label more persons as mentally retarded than any other agency and share their labels more widely with others in the community. Relying on IQ test scores for diagnosis, schools place many persons with scores above 70 and with no physical disabilities in the role of retardate. The author contends that both the statistical model of "normal" and the unicultural viewpoint of educators and clinicians work to the disadvantage of the poor and the ethnic minorities. Given the opportunity, many persons demonstrate by their ability to cope with the problems in other areas of life that they are not comprehensively incompetent. The author makes serval policy recommendations. First, she suggests lowering the IQ score cutoff point used by schools in determining who shall be labeled as retarded. Second, she recommends that the clinicians use the two-dimensional definition of retardation proposed by the American Association of Mental Deficiency, subnormality in both intellectual performance and adaptive behavior. Third, she concludes that pluralistic assessment procedures must be employed to take into account cultural biases in IQ tests designed to measure cognitive skills.

A People's Guide to Orange County - Thuy Vo Dang - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

A People's Guide to Orange County - Thuy Vo Dang - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

One of the Top Urban Planning Books of 2022, PlanetizenThe full and fascinating guidebook that Orange County deserves. A People’s Guide to Orange County is an alternative tour guide that documents sites of oppression, resistance, struggle, and transformation in Orange County, California. Orange County is more than the well-known images on orange crate labels, the high-profile amusement parks of Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm, or the beaches. It is also a unique site of agricultural and suburban history, political conservatism in a liberal state, and more diversity and discordance than its pop-cultural images show. It is a space of important agricultural labor disputes, segregation and resistance to segregation, privatization and the struggle for public space, politicized religions, Cold War global migrations, vibrant youth cultures, and efforts for environmental justice. Memorably, Ronald Reagan called Orange County the place “where all the good Republicans go to die,” but it is also the place where many working-class immigrants have come to live and work in its agricultural, military-industrial, and tourist service economies. Orange County is the fifth-most populous county in America. If it were a city, it would be the nation’s third-largest city; if it were a state, its population would make it larger than twenty-one other states. It attracts 42 million tourists annually. Yet Orange County tends to be a chapter or two squeezed into guidebooks to Los Angeles or Disneyland. Mainstream guidebooks focus on Orange County’s amusement parks and wealthy coastal communities, with side trips to palatial shopping malls. These guides skip over Orange County’s most heterogeneous half—the inland space, where most of its oranges were grown alongside oil derricks that kept the orange groves heated. Existing guidebooks render invisible the diverse people who have labored there. A People’s Guide to Orange County questions who gets to claim Orange County’s image, exposing the extraordinary stories embedded in the ordinary landscape.
