How the Shopping Cart Explains Global Consumerism - Andrew Warnes - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

How the Shopping Cart Explains Global Consumerism - Andrew Warnes - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Picture a familiar scene: long lines of shoppers waiting to check out at the grocery store, carts filled to the brim with the week’s food. While many might wonder what is in each cart, Andrew Warnes implores us to consider the symbolism of the cart itself. In his inventive new book, Warnes examines how the everyday shopping cart is connected to a complex web of food production and consumption that has spread from the United States throughout the world. Today, shopping carts represent choice and autonomy for consumers, a recognizable American way of life that has become a global phenomenon. This succinct and and accessible book provides an excellent overview of consumerism and the globalization of American culture.

The Plantation Ideal - Wendy Wolford - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

The Plantation Ideal - Wendy Wolford - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Despite never having delivered sustained economic or social benefits, plantations have been the privileged tool of extraction and development in Mozambique for more than one hundred years. Drawing on extensive archival and qualitative contemporary research, The Plantation Ideal explores ProSavana, the 2009 trilateral megaproject between Brazil, Japan, and Mozambique, which was intended to reorganize rural land and labor for the benefit of large-scale commodity production. Offering new insights into plantation economies, histories, and landscapes, Wendy Wolford tells the story of how the largely failed pursuit of a plantation ideal has shaped agricultural science, government rule, life on the land, and community development in Mozambique from the harshest years of Portuguese colonization to the present.

Critical Wage Theory - Ruben J. Garcia - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Critical Wage Theory - Ruben J. Garcia - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

In this highly original and personal book, Ruben J. Garcia argues forcefully that we must center the minimum wage as a tool for fighting structural racism. Employing the lessons of critical race theory to show how low minimum wages and underenforcement of workplace laws have always been features of our racially stratified society, Garcia explains why we must follow the leadership of social movements by treating increases in minimum wage levels and enforcement as matters of racial justice. Offering solutions that would benefit all workers, especially the immigrants and people of color most often made victims of wage theft, Critical Wage Theory is essential reading for anyone who seeks a more just future for the working class.

The Lyric Myth of Voice - Jessica Gabriel Peritz - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

The Lyric Myth of Voice - Jessica Gabriel Peritz - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

How did "voice" become a metaphor for selfhood in the Western imagination? The Lyric Myth of Voice situates the emergence of an ideological connection between voice and subjectivity in late eighteenth-century Italy, where long-standing political anxieties and new notions of cultural enlightenment collided in the mythical figure of the lyric poet-singer. Ultimately, music and literature together shaped the singing voice into a tool for civilizing modern Italian subjects. Drawing on a range of approaches and frameworks from historical musicology to gender studies, disability studies, anthropology, and literary theory, Jessica Gabriel Peritz shows how this ancient yet modern myth of voice attained interpretable form, flesh, and sound. The publisher gratefully acknowledges the generous support of the AMS 75 PAYS Fund of the American Musicological Society, supported in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Intersectional Incoherence - Cindi Textor - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Intersectional Incoherence - Cindi Textor - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Intersectional Incoherence stages an encounter between the critical discourse on intersectionality and texts produced by Korean subjects of the Japanese empire and their postwar descendants in Japan, known as Zainichi Koreans. Arguing for intersectionality as a reading method rather than strictly a tool of social analysis, Cindi Textor reads moments of illegibility and incoherent language in these texts as a product of the pressures on Zainichi Koreans and their literature to represent both Korean difference from and affinity with Japan. Rejecting linguistic norms and representational imperatives of identity categories, Textor instead demands that the reader grapple with the silent, absent, illegible, or unintelligible. Engaging with the incoherent, she argues, allows for a more ethical approach to texts, subjects, and communities that resist representation within existing paradigms.

Stories between Christianity and Islam - Reyhan Durmaz - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Stories between Christianity and Islam - Reyhan Durmaz - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Stories between Christianity and Islam offers an original and nuanced understanding of Christian–Muslim relations that shifts focus from discussions of superiority, conflict, and appropriation to the living world of connectivity and creativity. Here, the late antique and medieval Near East is viewed as a world of stories shared by Christians and Muslims. Public storytelling was a key feature for these late antique Christian and early Islamic communities, where stories of saints were used to interpret the past, comment on the present, and envision the future. In this book, Reyhan Durmaz uses these stories to demonstrate and analyze the mutually constitutive relationship between these two religions in the Middle Ages. With an in-depth study of storytelling in Late Antiquity and the mechanisms of hagiographic transmission between Christianity and Islam in the Middle Ages, Durmaz develops a nuanced understanding of saints’ stories as a tool for building identity, memory, and authority across confessional boundaries.
