Описание:
Edward Schatz explores the politics of kin-based clan divisions in the post-Soviet state of Kazakhstan. Drawing from extensive ethnographic and archival research, interviews, and wide-ranging secondary sources, he highlights a politics that poses a two-tiered challenge to current thinking about modernity and Central Asia. First, asking why kinship divisions do not fade from political life with modernization, he shows that the state actually constructs clan relationships by infusing them with practical political and social meaning. By activating the most important quality of clans - their "concealability" - the state is itself responsible for the vibrant politics of these subethnic divisions which has emerged and flourished in post-Soviet Kazakhstan.
Subethnic divisions are crucial to understanding how group solidarities and power relations coexist and where they intersect. But, in a second challenge to current thinking, Schatz argues that clan politics should not be understood simply as competition among primordial groups. Rather, the meanings attributed to clan relationships - both the public stigmas and the publicly proclaimed pride in clans - are part and parcel of this contest.
Drawing parallels with relevant cases from the Middle East, East and North Africa, and other parts of the former USSR, Schatz concludes that a more appropriate policy may be achieved by making clans a legitimate part of political and social life, rendering them less powerful or corrupt by increasing their transparency.
Political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, policy makers, and others who study state power and identity groups will find a wealth of empirical material and conceptual innovation for discussion and debate.

Описание: From the exotic - angel's trumpets, passion flowers and pincushions - to the familiar - lillies, roses and begonias - the flowers Schatz photographs have never looked quite like this before, and yet it is their natural beauty that shines through every page of this sumptuous volume. Annotations at the back of the book, accompanied by miniature reproductions of the full-page plates, identify each variety and provide both common and Latin names. Schatz's unique presentation and photographic style make this a compelling gift for both flower lovers and connoisseurs of fine photography.

Описание: As a mainstay of modern life, the media industry disseminates information about disability on a global scale. However, media outlets do not always contribute accurate and positive depictions of disability in print and on the screen. Since previous representations of disability have been incomplete, misguided, and unimaginative, our text encourages scholars and allies to refashion media so that it disrupts the status-quo and lends itself toward a more liberatory politics. Images from the media such as film, television, and social media are assessed using critical disabilities studies, media studies, cultural studies, and other interdisciplinary fields.Many of our authors suggest that media itself is a powerful force that can counter the stigma and misrepresentation that oppresses people with disabilities and perpetuates discrimination. Contributors explore new perspectives on disability including analyses of people with disabilities as producers, consumers, and product of media. Moreover, disability is expanded on through disability identity, culture, and intersections with other disciplines such as critical race theory, gender studies, and the other such viewpoints.
