From Piety to Professionalism D and Back? - Patricia Wittberg - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

From Piety to Professionalism D and Back? - Patricia Wittberg - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Only in recent centuries have Catholic and Protestant women begun the practice of creating formal groups for the express purpose of operating schools, hospitals, and the like. Yet, there is evidence that this period of active organizational involvement may already be coming to an end. The resulting effect of denominational groups losing their institutional identities has been greatly overlooked in past research. Wittberg aims to redress this omission in this noteworthy work. From Piety to Professionalism D and Back? argues that the dissolution of institutional ties has greatly affected denominations D especially specific denominational subgroups such as Catholic religious orders, Protestant deaconesses, or women''s missionary societies D in profoundly important ways: shifting or obliterating their recruitment bases, altering the backgrounds and expectations of their leaders, and often causing fundamental transformations in the very identity and culture of the groups themselves. Using the theoretical lens of organizational sociology, Wittberg has created an important and engaging work that will appeal to scholars of sociology and religion.

Enemies of the State - D. J. Mulloy - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Enemies of the State - D. J. Mulloy - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The rise of the alt-right alongside Donald Trump’s candidacy may be seem unprecedented events in the history of the United States, but D. J. Mulloy shows us that the radical right has been a long and active part of American politics during the twentieth century. From the German-American Bund to the modern militia movement, D. J. Mulloy provides a guide for anyone interested in examining the roots of the radical right in the U.S.—in all its many varied forms—going back to the days of the Great Depression, the New Deal and the extraordinary political achievements of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Enemies of the State offers an informative and highly readable introduction to some of the key developments and events of recent American history including: the fear of the Communist subversion of American society in the aftermath of the Second World War; the rise of the civil rights movement and the “white backlash” this elicited; the apparent decline of liberalism and the ascendancy of conservatism during the economic malaise of the 1970s; Ronald Reagan’s triumphant presidential victory in 1980; and the Great Recession of 2007-08 and subsequent election of President Obama.

Debating Franklin D. Roosevelt's Foreign Policies, 1933–1945 - Mark A. Stoler - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Debating Franklin D. Roosevelt's Foreign Policies, 1933–1945 - Mark A. Stoler - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Elected an unprecedented four times to the presidency, Franklin D. Roosevelt led the United States through some of the most dramatic and trying foreign and domestic episodes in its history. Coming to power in the throws of a crippling depression, Roosevelt quickly found himself having to juggle the need for tremendous domestic revitalization in a world menaced by burgeoning aggressor states. In Debating Franklin D. Roosevelt''s Foreign Policies, noted historians Justus D. Doenecke and Mark A. Stoler offer differing perspectives on the Roosevelt years, finding disparate meanings from common data. Finding Roosevelt astute at choosing the most effective option of those available, Stoler generally defends FDR''s policies against their traditional critics. Conversely, Doenecke emphasizes a dangerous shallowness and superficiality in FDR''s approach to foreign affairs, particularly in his first two terms. The contrary viewpoints of the authors, supplemented by carefully chosen documents, provide an ideal introduction allowing readers to examine the issues and draw their own conclusions about Franklin Roosevelt''s foreign policy.

Patriarchy and the Politics of Beauty - Allan D. Cooper - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Patriarchy and the Politics of Beauty - Allan D. Cooper - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Political philosophers from the beginning of history have articulated the significance of beauty. Allan D. Cooper argues that these writings are coded to justify patriarchal structures of power, and that each epoch of global history has reflected a paradigm of beauty that rationalizes protocols of gender performance. Patriarchy is a system of knowledge that trains men to become soldiers but is now being challenged by human rights advocates and women’s rights activists.

The Political Life of Reverend Roland D. Sawyer - Tyler L Wolanin - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Political Life of Reverend Roland D. Sawyer - Tyler L Wolanin - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Roland D. Sawyer was a Western Massachusetts state legislator who, over a half-century in politics, tackled some of the state’s thorniest issues. The Political Life of Reverend Roland D. Sawyer by Tyler L. Wolanin offers insight into legislative politics in Massachusetts as it underwent political and economic transitions, urbanization, and unrest. Though Sawyer never attained high office, his longevity and influence allowed him to shape the policy debate on issues such as voting and elections, prohibition, and criminal justice reform. As a minister, socialist, radical, and “cog in the machine,” Sawyer instigated investigations and impeachments, saw a friend become President, lost elections, had half of his district flooded to make a reservoir, and fell into and out of favor with some of the most famous power players in Massachusetts history. A picture of Sawyer emerges from this book as one of the most interesting Massachusetts political figures of the first half of the twentieth century.

Necropolitics - Christophe D. Ringer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Necropolitics - Christophe D. Ringer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Necropolitics: The Religious Crisis of Mass Incarceration in America explores the pernicious and persistent presence of mass incarceration in American public life. Christophe D. Ringer argues that mass incarceration persists largely because the othering and criminalization of Black people in times of crisis is a significant part of the religious meaning of America. This book traces representations from the Puritan era to the beginning of the War on Drugs in the 1980s to demonstrate their centrality in this issue, revealing how these images have become accepted as fact and used by various aspects of governance to wield the power to punish indiscriminately. Ringer demonstrates how these vilifying images contribute to racism and political economy, creating a politics of death that uses jails and prisons to conceal social inequalities and political exclusion.

Supremely Partisan - James D. Zirin - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Supremely Partisan - James D. Zirin - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

On the eve of a presidential election that may determine the makeup of Supreme Court justices for decades to come, prominent attorney James D. Zirin argues that the Court has become increasingly partisan, rapidly making policy choices right and left on bases that have nothing to do with law or the Constitution. Zirin explains how we arrived at the present situation and looks at the current divide through its leading partisans, Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor on the left and Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas on the right. He also examines four of the Court’s most controversial recent decisions – Hobby Lobby, Obamacare, gay marriage, and capital punishment – arguing that these politicized decisions threaten to undermine public confidence in the Supreme Court.

The Lost Soul of American Protestantism - D. G. Hart - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Lost Soul of American Protestantism - D. G. Hart - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In The Lost Soul of American Protestantism, D. G. Hart examines the historical origins of the idea that faith must be socially useful in order to be valuable. Through specific episodes in Presbyterian, Lutheran, and Reformed history, Hart presents a neglected form of Protestantism—confessionalism—as an alternative to prevailing religious theory. He explains that, unlike evangelical and mainline Protestants who emphasize faith''s role in solving social and personal problems, confessional Protestants locate Christianity''s significance in the creeds, ministry, and rituals of the church. Although critics have accused confessionalism of encouraging social apathy, Hart deftly argues that this form of Protestantism has much to contribute to current discussions on the role of religion in American public life, since confessionalism refuses to confuse the well-being of the nation with that of the church. The history of confessional Protestantism suggests that contrary to the legacy of revivalism, faith may be most vital and influential when less directly relevant to everyday problems, whether personal or social. Clear and engaging, D. G. Hart''s groundbreaking study is essential reading for everyone exploring the intersection of religion and daily life.
