Postcolonial Politics

The learned editors of this new four-volume collection from Routledge argue that—at its core—postcolonialism makes two substantial claims with corresponding research agendas and political implications. First that the emergence and functioning of the modern world cannot be truly understood and explained as if it originated in Europe and was then ‘exported’ to the non-West; such Eurocentric accounts must be interrogated and challenged. Second that since the humanities and social sciences developed in Europe as an attempt to make sense of Western developments the analytical tools and disciplinary formations by which we seek to explain and represent the world also need to be critically questioned and where necessary rethought. This timely new collection from Routledge’s Critical Concepts in Political Science series enables users to comprehend the scope and ambition of these claims and to make sense of the dizzying diversity of texts generated across different continents and in different languages and spanning numerous fields of intellectual and literary endeavour that constitute the formative and central works of Postcolonial Politics. The four volumes that make up the collection are edited by the directors of the Centre for Postcolonial Studies at Goldsmiths University of London and unite the expertise of three distinguished scholars who have produced a unique ‘mini library’ that is as diverse as its subject matter. Postcolonial Politics brings together foundational and cutting-edge essays and journal articles and it draws on sources from Africa Latin America and Asia as well as those in the Western world including some newly translated pieces. Fully indexed and with new introductions to each volume this collection will be welcomed by scholars other researchers and advanced students as an indispensable reference and pedagogic resource.

Comparative Constitutional Law

Once a mere appendage to constitutional law proper research in comparative constitutional law has burgeoned in recent decades. Indeed a growing tendency towards international borrowing and harmonization has been marked in many jurisdictions (even tentatively the United States) but it has not been uncontroversial or uncontested. Now this new collection from Routledge’s Critical Concepts in Law series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to help researchers and students navigate and make better sense of an abundance of scholarship in comparative constitutional law. The collection is made up of four volumes which bring together the best and most influential canonical and cutting-edge thinking. Topics include constitution-making and amendment; the different structural components of constitutional governance (such as the relationship of legislatures to courts and the effects of different methods of judicial oversight); the interaction of constitutional law with transnational sources of law; and theoretical and practical aspects of constitutional legitimacy. With a full index and thoughtful introductions newly written by the learned editor Comparative Constitutional Law traces the field's development and highlights the challenges for future explorations. The collection will be valued by legal scholars—as well as by political philosophers and theorists—as a vital and enduring resource.

Consciousness

What is the nature of subjectivity intersubjectivity and objectivity? And what is the relation of brain studies to individual experience? How can we avoid the mysteries of dualism and the implausibilities of reductionism? How do Eastern and Western conceptions of mind consciousness and self differ? These are the kind of dizzying questions that are asked by those working in consciousness studies. They are foundational for psychological science and now to meet the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of the subject’s vast literature and the continuing explosion in interdisciplinary and cross-cultural research output Routledge announces a new title in its Critical Concepts in Psychology series. Edited by Max Velmans a leading authority Consciousness is a new four-volume collection of the canonical and the very best cutting-edge scholarship in the field. It provides a synoptic view of all the key issues and current debates as well as guidance to likely future developments. With comprehensive introductions newly written by the editor which place the collected materials in their historical and intellectual context Consciousness is an essential work of reference. It is destined to be valued by psychologists and neuroscientists—as well as those working in related areas of philosophy—as a vital research resource.

Aphasia

Aphasia—from the Greek aphatos (‘speechless’)—describes impairments and disabilities in the use of language arising from for example strokes trauma tumours surgery or progressive brain deterioration. It includes problems with the expression and comprehension of language in speech reading writing and signing. Research in and around aphasia continues to flourish such that even for specialist aphasiologists it is extremely hard to keep up to date with developments. There is a real threat of laboratory-based human research neuropsychology computational-modelling research and brain-imaging studies proceeding in ignorance of each other. Indeed the sheer scale of the growth in cognitive neuroscience makes this collection especially timely and welcome; it permits ready access to the most influential and important works across the full breadth of the discipline. The materials gathered in Volume I include explorations of the foundations of aphasiology. The major works collected in the second volume examine theoretical developments while Volume III is organized around contemporary issues in aphasiology. The final volume makes sense of clinical issues such as recovery assessment and rehabilitation. With a full index together with a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context Aphasia is an essential work of reference. For researchers and advanced students it is a vital one-stop research and instructional resource.

Military History

Addressing the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of a rapidly growing and ever more complex corpus of literature Military History is a new title from Routledge’s Critical Concepts in Military Strategic and Security Studies series. Edited by Jeremy Black (‘the most prolific historical scholar of our age’) it is a four-volume collection which brings together the very best scholarship in a one-stop ‘mini library’ of major works. Black avers that military history is increasingly seen as a global enterprise and Eurocentric/Western perspectives and paradigms often now appear questionable if not redundant. Moreover a teleology of warfare leading towards the total warfare of the twentieth century—the two world wars and the Cold War—appears far less convincing he says in light of developments since 1990. This kind of re-examination of long-held assumptions about military history has guided the selection of materials which are organized chronologically but with abundant cross-referencing to enable users to pursue thematic approaches. The focus is on major works published since 1990 first to centre on current research questions and perspectives and secondly because earlier literature can be followed through these pieces. Military History is fully indexed and includes a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context. It is an essential reference work and is destined to be valued by scholars and students as a vital research and pedagogic resource.

Health Psychology

In today’s sick world the application of psychological research and methods to issues about and around health could not be more important. Health psychologists pursue ambitious goals including: the promotion and maintenance of health; the prevention and management of illness; the improvement of healthcare systems; and the formulation of rational health policies. And they seek to understand dizzyingly difficult questions such as: how do people adapt to chronic illness? What factors influence healthy eating? How is stress linked to heart disease? And why do so many patients ignore medical advice and prescriptions? As research in and around health psychology burgeons as never before this new four-volume collection from Routledge’s acclaimed Critical Concepts in Psychology series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of a rapidly growing and ever more complex corpus of literature. Edited by two leading scholars the collection gathers foundational and canonical work together with innovative and cutting-edge applications and interventions. With a full index together with a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editors which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context Health Psychology will be particularly useful as a one-stop database allowing scattered and often fugitive material to be easily located. It will also be welcomed as a crucial tool permitting rapid access to less familiar—and sometimes overlooked—texts. For researchers and advanced students it is a vital one-stop research and reference resource.

J. R. R. Tolkien

J. R. R. Tolkien (1892–1973) is widely regarded as one of the most important writers of the twentieth century. His popularity began with the publication in 1937 of The Hobbit and was cemented by the appearance of The Lord of the Rings in the early 1950s. However engagement with his work was until relatively recently sidelined by literary and other scholars. Consequently many foundational analyses of his fiction and his work as a medievalist are dispersed in hard-to-find monographs and obscure journals (often produced by dedicated amateurs). In contrast over the last decade or so academic interest in Tolkien has risen dramatically. Indeed interpretative and critical commentary is now being generated on a bewildering scale in part aided by the continuing posthumous publication of his work (most recently his Beowulf translation which appeared in 2014). The dizzying quantity—and variable quality—of this later criticism makes it difficult to discriminate the useful from the tendentious superficial and otiose. Now in four volumes a new collection from Routledge’s Critical Assessments of Major Writers series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to collect early evaluations and to make sense of the more recent explosion in research output. Users are now able easily and rapidly to locate the best and most influential critical assessments. With material gathered into one easy-to-use set Tolkien researchers and students can now spend more of their time with the key journal articles book chapters and other pieces rather than on time-consuming (and sometimes fruitless) archival searches.

Indigenous Peoples and the Law

Despite the fact that the appropriation of land and resources of the so-called New World necessarily involved the dispossession and exploitation (and sometimes genocide) of the original inhabitants of colonized nations it was not until the late twentieth century that Indigenous Peoples attained any meaningful degree of legal recognition in both national and international spheres. Until then Indigenous Peoples (also known as ‘First Nations’ and ‘First Peoples’) were routinely denied any form of juridical identity. Research in and around Indigenous Peoples and the Law is now very wide-ranging and flourishes as never before. But much of the relevant literature remains inaccessible or is highly specialized and compartmentalized so that it is difficult for many of those who are interested in the subject to obtain an informed balanced and comprehensive overview. This new four-volume collection meets the need for an authoritative anthology to make sense of the subject’s vast and dispersed literature and the continuing explosion in research output. Drawing on a wide variety of materials from a broad range of disciplines and theoretical approaches the collection gathers canonical and cutting-edge major works in a ‘one-stop’ resource to enable users to understand how the law Indigenous Peoples encounter has been transformed from an oppressive rights-denying system to a site of contestation and for the articulation of claims. The collection includes a full index and is supplemented by introductions to each volume newly written by the editors which place the gathered materials in their historical and intellectual context. Indigenous Peoples and the Law is an essential reference work which will be valued as a vital resource by students scholars policy-makers and practitioners.
