Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2002The rise of the Nazis
by Conan Fischer, Mark Greengrass
How and why did the Nazis seize power in Germany? Nearly seventy years on, the question remains heated and important discoveries continue to challenge long standing assumptions. Beginmning with an overview of the historical context within which Nazism grew, looking at the foreign relations, politics and society of Weimar and in particular at the role of the elites in the rise of Nazism. The book questions the anatomy of Nazism itself: What lent Nazi ideology its coherence and credibility? What distinguished the Nazi's programme from their competitors' and how did they project it so effectively? How was Hitler able to put together and fund an organisation so quickly and effectively that it could launch a sustained assault on Weimar? Who supported the Nazis and what were their motives? Where, precisely, does Nazism belong in the history of Europe?. Since the publication of the first edition, important new works have appeared and this new scholarship has been incorporated into the text. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 1998Irish Home Rule
by Alan O'Day, Mark Greengrass
Irish Home Rule considers the pre-eminent issue in British politics during the late nineteenth and early twentieth-centuries. It is the first account to explain the various self-government plans, to place these in context and examine the motives for putting the schemes forward. The book distinguishes between moral and material home rulers, making the point that the first appealed especially to outsiders, some Protestants and the intelligentsia, who saw in self-government a means to reconcile Ireland's antagonistic traditions. In contrast, material home rulers viewed a Dublin Parliament as a forum of Catholic interests. This account appraises the home rule movement from a fresh angle, distinguishing it from the usual division drawn between physical force and constitutional nationalists It maintains that an ideological continuity runs from Young Ireland, the Fenians, the early home rulers including Isaac Butt and Charles Stewart Parnell, to the Gaelic Revivalists to the Men of 1916. These nationalists are distinguishable from material home rulers not on the basis of methods or strategy but by a fundamental ideological cleavage. ;

Qualities of food
by Mark Harvey, Andrew McMeekin, Alan Warde
In this book, the complexity and the significance of the foods we eat are analysed from a variety of perspectives, by sociologists, economists, geographers and anthropologists. Chapters address a number of intriguing questions: how do people make judgments about taste? How do such judgments come to be shared by groups of people?; what social and organisational processes result in foods being certified as of decent or proper quality? How has dissatisfaction with the food system been expressed? What alternatives are thought to be possible? The multi-disciplinary analysis of this book explores many different answers to such questions. The first part of the book focuses on theoretical and conceptual issues, the second part considers processes of formal and informal regulation, while the third part examines social and political responses to industrialised food production and mass consumption. Qualities of food will be of interest to researchers and students in all the social science disciplines that are concerned with food, whether marketing, sociology, cultural studies, anthropology, human nutrition or economics.

April 2021Die pinke Linie
Weltweite Kämpfe um sexuelle Selbstbestimmung und Geschlechtsidentität
by Mark Gevisser, Helmut Dierlamm, Heike Schlatterer
Für wie viele Geschlechter sollte es Toiletten geben? Manche sehen in dieser Frage nur einen Karnevalskalauer, andere nutzen sie zur Inszenierung eines Kulturkampfes. Viele Menschen erinnert sie jedoch schlicht an tagtäglich erfahrene Demütigungen. Über Themen der Geschlechteridentität und der sexuellen Selbstbestimmung wurde in jüngster Zeit weltweit erbittert gestritten. Und während in einigen Ländern erhebliche Liberalisierungsfortschritte zu verzeichnen sind, schüren in anderen mächtige politische Akteure gezielt Stimmung gegen Lesben, Schwule und Transpersonen. Mark Gevisser zeichnet diese neue Konfliktlinie – die pinke Linie, wie er sie nennt – rund um den Globus nach. Er schildert, wie queere Paare und Familien für rechtliche Gleichstellung kämpfen und zu welchen Strategien Aktivist:innen greifen, um tradierte Geschlechtervorstellungen in ihren lokalen Kontexten zu überwinden. Er spricht mit von Diskriminierung Betroffenen in Kenia, Ägypten und den USA: Welche Probleme stellen sich ihnen im Alltag? Welche Pronomen verwenden sie für sich und warum? Welche Ziele verfolgen Dritte, die sich ihrer Sache annehmen? Einfühlsam, klug und in bestechender Prosa kombiniert Gevisser Reportage und Analyse und liefert ein ebenso faktenreiches wie bewegendes Standardwerk zu einem der prägenden Themen unserer Gegenwart.
