Demystifying Modern Slavery

Demystifying Modern Slavery

Who are the perpetrators of modern slavery? Why do they exploit others? What might be done to stop exploitation recurring? These are the questions answered in this book. Reporting on the first primary study of modern slavery offenders the book depicts the findings of in-depth interviews with people accused of and convicted for committing modern slavery offences. The different forms that modern slavery takes are explained chapter by chapter: organized crime people smuggling labour exploitation domestic servitude sham marriage the trafficking of adults for sexual exploitation and child sex trafficking. Using case studies to illuminate the perspectives of those deemed perpetrators we show that few modern slavery offenders conform to stereotypes of people traffickers. Through an interpretive analysis of offenders’ life stories we reveal the points in the past and present where interventions could have prevented victims from becoming trapped in exploitation. We show that while national governments and international bodies often appear resolute in their efforts to tackle modern slavery and people trafficking they have also obscured their own roles in compounding the plights of those at the sharp ends of globalization. In racializing the actions of sex traffickers grooming gangs and organized criminals the modern slavery agenda has mystified the roles market dynamics the absence of workers’ rights and immigration controls play in generating vulnerabilities to exploitation. This book will be of interest to a wide range of students policymakers and practitioners concerned with modern slavery human trafficking border control and immigration globalization and inequality as well as the more disciplinefocused criminological audiences concerned with why people commit crimes what should be done about them and the often paradoxical consequences of social control across borders. Given the book’s strong focus on narrative psychosocial and social network methodologies it will also appeal to audiences across the social sciences concerned with applying these novel approaches to difficult to reach populations. | Demystifying Modern Slavery

Modern Policing

Modern Policing

Originally published in 1981 Modern Policing provided an opportunity for members of the Police Staff College Bramshill to air their views about different aspects of modern British policing. Contributions were made by members of the directing staff – professional and academic – and by students. This book was addressed primarily to policemen themselves but also had wider appeal to those interested in policing. The editors saw within police constabularies a rapidly developing concern for management information by senior police personnel for material to better prepare officers for their difficult task by training departments for relevant analyses to help improve qualifications by policemen themselves. This was one of the first books to include views from inside the police rather than those from the outside the service.

The Jews and Modern Capitalism

The Jews and Modern Capitalism

Since its first appearance in Germany in 1911 Jews and Modern Capitalism has provoked vehement criticism. As Samuel Z. Klausner emphasizes the lasting value of Sombart's work rests not in his results-most of which have long since been disproved-but in his point of departure. Openly acknowledging his debt to Max Weber Sombart set out to prove the double thesis of the Jewish foundation of capitalism and the capitalist foundation of Judaism. Klausner placing Sombart's work in its historical and societal context examines the weaknesses and strengths of Jews and Modern Capitalism. | The Jews and Modern Capitalism

How We Experience Modern Verse

How We Experience Modern Verse

Poetry moves us. Sometimes a poem changes our life. Then we analyze it as a cultural artifact with no special connection to us. An extensive critical apparatus enables us to develop sophisticated interpretations but we dismiss as idiosyncratic even life-changing experiences of poetry. We need an apparatus to unfold our experience of reading poems into a more effective relationship with the world. Modern poets in particular wrote prophetic verse for this purpose. Archetypal psychology and phenomenology describe the soul that modern poetry moves in us. Three prosodic mechanisms activate the psyche. The polyphony of accentual and quantitative versification creates depth to lure the soul. Aural images reshape the reader’s stream of consciousness. Readers follow the movement of blocks of verse across the expanse of the page with what Maurice Merleau-Ponty terms the phenomenal body. These mechanisms reach us at the collective level of consciousness and generate the power we need to solve big collective challenges such as race climate change and inequality. | How We Experience Modern Verse

The Structure and Operation of Modern Economies

The Structure and Operation of Modern Economies

This book is about the economy rather than economics. It explores the structures inner workings and problems of modern economies showing how the organisations and networks that shape the structure of the economy are arranged to provide society with goods and services. At the centre of the analysis there is the economic system characterised by organisational components carrying out economic functions (production consumption distribution and establishment and control of the economic activities as well as provision of public goods and services) and by a co-evolving dynamic with the state. The economic system is thus a ‘machine’ that modern states have organised through their laws and international agreements. The book incorporates a historical approach which reveals the varieties structure and evolution of capitalism as the defining economic system of the modern age. Ultimately the book demonstrates that the economic sphere and the political sphere are the two powers ruling people’s lives: the economy is the result of their interactions. This book will be of great interest to readers in political economy economics sociology and political science. | The Structure and Operation of Modern Economies

Modern Criticism and Theory A Reader

Modern Criticism and Theory A Reader

This third edition of Modern Criticism and Theory represents a major expansion on its previous incarnations with some twenty five new pieces or essays included. This expansion has two principal purposes. Firstly in keeping with the collection’s aim to reflect contemporary preoccupations the reader has expanded forward to include such newly emergent considerations as ecocriticism and post-theory. Secondly with the aim of presenting as broad an account of modern theory as possible the reader expands backwards to to take in exemplary pieces by formative writers and thinkers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries such as Marx Freud and Virginia Woolf. . This radical expansion of content is prefaced by a wide-ranging introduction which provides a rationale for the collection and demonstrates how connections can be made between competing theories and critical schools. The purpose of the collection remains that of introducing the reader to the guiding concepts of contemporary literary and cultural debate. It does so by presenting substantial extracts from seminal thinkers and surrounding them with the contextual materials necessary to a full understanding. Each selection has a headnote which gives biographical details of the author and provides suggestions for further reading and footnotes that help explain difficult references. The collection is ordered both historically and thematically and readers are encouraged to draw for themselves connections between essays and theories. Modern Criticism and Theory has long been regarded as a necessary collection. Now revised for the twenty first century it goes further and provides students and the general reader with a wide-ranging survey of the complex landscape of modern theory and a critical assessment of the way we think – and live – in the world today. | Modern Criticism and Theory A Reader

The Making of Modern Uganda

The Making of Modern Uganda

First published in 1958 The Making of Modern Uganda is concerned with the formation of modern Uganda in the sixty years since the 1890s when the foundations of the British administration were laid. In the first decade of the 20th century Sir Hesketh Bell Uganda’s Governor decided that Uganda should be built up by Africans under the disinterested guidance of Europeans. The book therefore traces the emergence of a territory whose material prosperity is mainly based upon peasant agriculture guided by the advice of British agricultural officers. It describes the development from an era of tribal clan and even village organisation to the system of centralised government along semi-parliamentary lines but notes the disagreement as to whether Uganda’s future should lie as a unitary or a federal state. The controversial issue of closer union with the other East African territories is studied at some length as also is the growth of the politically active minority which plays so important a part in the modern Protectorate. The author believes that the years of ‘happy Uganda’ the years before the Second World War were a period in which hard work coupled with peace and obvious progress tended to conceal for many the growth of new forces which needed an outlet and only found one in the political and constitutional developments of the post-war age. This book will be of interest to students of history African studies ethnic studies and political science.

Death Burial and the Individual in Early Modern England

Death Burial and the Individual in Early Modern England

First published in 1984 Death Burial and the Individual in Early Modern England traces how and why the modern reaction to death has come about by examining English attitudes to death since the Middle Ages. In earlier centuries death was very much in the midst of life since it was not as now associated mainly with old age. War plague and infant mortality gave it a very different aspect to its present one. The author shows in detail how modern concern with the individual has gradually alienated death from our society; the greater the emphasis on personal uniqueness the more intense the anguish when an individual dies. Changes in attitudes to death are traced through alterations in funeral rituals covering all sections of society from paupers to princes. This gracefully written book is a unique scholarly and thorough treatment of the subject providing both a sensitive insight into the feelings of people in early modern England and an explanation of the modern anxiety about death. The range and assurance of this book will commend it to historians and the interested general reader alike.

Modern Permanent Magnet Electric Machines Theory and Control

Modern Permanent Magnet Electric Machines Theory and Control

The late 1980s saw the beginning of the PM brushless machine era with the invention of high-energy density permanent magnets (PM) and the development of power electronics. Although induction motors are now the most popular electric motors the impact of PM brushless machines on electromechanical drives is significant. Today PM machines come second to induction machines. Replacement of electromagnetic field excitation systems by PMs brings the following benefits: No electrical energy is absorbed by the field excitation system and thus there are no excitation losses causing substantial increase in efficiency Higher power density (kW/kg) and/or torque density (Nm/kg) than electromagnetic excitation Better dynamic performance than motors with electromagnetic excitation (higher magnetic flux density in the air gap) Simplification of construction and maintenance Less expensive for some types of machines Modern Permanent Magnet Electric Machines: Theory and Control serves as a textbook for undergraduate power engineering students who want to supplement and expand their knowledge in the fundamentals of magnetism soft magnetic materials permanent magnets (PMs) calculation of magnetic circuits with PMs modern PM brushed DC machines and their controls modern PM brushless DC motors and drive control and modern PM generators. The book can help students learn more about electrical machines and can serve as a prescribed text for teaching elective undergraduate courses such as modern permanent magnet electrical machines. Since the book is written in a simple scientific language and without redundant mathematics it can also be used by practicing engineers and managers employed in electrical machinery or electromagnetic device industries. | Modern Permanent Magnet Electric Machines Theory and Control

Modern Psychoanalysis New Directions and Perspectives

Modern Psychoanalysis New Directions and Perspectives

Modern Psychoanalys is is a definitive exploration of the expanding horizons of this still controversial approach to and treatment of human behavior. In the first paperback release of a work sponsored by the American Academy of Psychoanalysis thirty-five authorities explore new approaches to psychoanalytic theory and therapy and examine the growing interaction between this field and the other social and behavioral sciences. Modern Psychoanalysis demonstrates how some of the leading figures are bringing their discipline into the mainstream of biological and social through! making use of systems theory information processing the constructs of adaptation and learning and other new tools and findings. The book is unusually free of the jargon that has separated psychoanalysis in the past from the rest of behavioral and social science. Some of the authors and their subjects are: Roy Grinker Conceptual Progress in Analysis; Jin-gen Ruesch Psychoanalysis between Two Cultures; Edward Tauber Dreaming and Modern Dream Theory; Jules Masserman The Biody-namic Roots of Psychoanalysis; Lewis H. Wolberg Short-term Psychotherapy; Stuart M. Finch and Albert Cain Psychoanalysis of Children; Morris Parloff Analytic Group Psychotherapy; Salvador Minuchin The Low Socioeconomic Population; Leonard Duhl and Robert Leopold Psychoanalysis and Social Agencies; Leo'n Edel Psychoanalysis and the Creative Arts; Arnold A. Rogow Psychiatry History and Political Science; and John R. Seeley Psychiatry: Revolution Reform and Reaction. The volume is prepared with the rigor and comprehensiveness that should make the book a standard handbook for psychiatrists psychologists and behavioral scientists. And it is written with a sense of curious readers who may simply be interested in the basic stances of this controversial field of theory and practice. It has earned sufficient plaudits to be called a classic in the field. Judd Manner's new introduction gives added weight to such claims. | Modern Psychoanalysis New Directions and Perspectives
