A Brief Genealogy of Jewish Republicanism: Parting Ways with Judith Butler
Author: Irene Tucker
Publisher: punctum books
ISBN: 0998237590
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
This Christian conception of belief structures the most familiar understandings of modern secularism, articulated most famously by John Locke in his "Letter Concerning Toleration." Tucker reads Locke's "Letter"' alongside Jewish philosopher/rabbi Moses Mendelssohn's 1783 critique of Locke, Jerusalem: Or On Religious Power and Judaism, and the Jewish tradition of the minyan, making a case for the existence of an alternative history of publicness borrowing from Jewish conceptions of communal life and the proper relations of actions and ideas. In throwing light on a genealogy of Jewish practices aimed at the deliberate creation of collectives constituted by their grappling with contingent, historical time, Tucker argues for the existence of a Jewish tradition of republicanism, of democracy.

Pages : 196
Book Description
“A fascinating exploration of the mysteries ignited by DNA genealogy testing—from the intensely personal and concrete to the existential and unsolvable.” —Tana French, New York Times–bestselling author You swab your cheek or spit in a vial, then send it away to a lab somewhere. Weeks later you get a report that might tell you where your ancestors came from or if you carry certain genetic risks. Or, the report could reveal a long-buried family secret that upends your entire sense of identity. Soon a lark becomes an obsession, a relentless drive to find answers to questions at the core of your being, like “Who am I?” and “Where did I come from?” Welcome to the age of home genetic testing. In The Lost Family, journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. She explores the culture of genealogy buffs, the science of DNA, and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story. Gripping and masterfully told, The Lost Family is a spectacular book on a big, timely subject. “An urgently necessary, powerful book that addresses one of the most complex social and bioethical issues of our time.” —Dani Shapiro, New York Times–bestselling author “Before you spit in that vial, read this book.” —The New York Times Book Review “Impeccably researched . . . up-to-the-minute science meets the philosophy of identity in a poignant, engaging debut.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Family and Society in American History
Author: Joseph M. Hawes
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 9780252068737
Category : Domestic relations
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
The internal dynamics of families have altered dramatically as the family has gradually shifted from a unit of economic production to a collection of individuals in pursuit of different goals. Taking examples from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries, this eclectic reader illuminates changes in the American family and presents some of the methods and approaches used to study families. Linking family patterns with changing social circumstances, Family and Society in American History considers husband-wife and parent-child relationships in light of language usage, gender roles, legal structures, and other contexts. For example, new legal attitudes toward divorce emerged as marriage came to be seen as a site for individual satisfaction. Marital fertility declined as American society modernized and pregnancy and childbirth came to be seen as medical rather than family issues. Schools and other institutions of the state absorbed functions formerly performed by the family, and women's economic contributions to the family disappeared from view as the social values of the early republic divided the male (work) from the female (home) sphere. In the twentieth century, a new domestic role for men--Mr. Do-It-Yourself--developed in the wake of suburbanization. In addition to identifying trends within the dominant culture, contributors consider the experiences of ethnic and immigrant families, reassessing generational conflict in Italian Harlem, comparing the attitudes of male and female Mexican migrant workers in Kansas, and showing how Chinese immigrant women targeted for rescue by Presbyterian mission workers took advantage of the gap between Chinese and American culture to increase their leverage in family and marital relationships. A diverse compendium of family life, Family and Society in American History provides an intriguing commentary on the permeability of social structures and interpersonal behavior.

Tucker's Seasonal Words of Wisdom
Author: Lynn Campion
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780692272312
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Tucker's Seasonal Words of Wisdom," the children's book by celebrated painter and sculptor Theodore Waddell, features 32 full-color illustrations detailing the adventures of five large and loveable Bernese Mountain Dogs. Waddell has lavishly illustrated this second volume of his "Tucker" series, and his wife, writer and photographer Lynn Campion, contributes the lively text. The delightful narrative follows Tucker and his friends, fellow Berners (as Bernese Mountain Dogs are affectionately known), as they lead the reader through a year of fun and exploration in the Northern Rockies. Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall, the happy pups experience the joys associated with each season, all the while sharing their uplifting brand of canine wisdom. Waddell's first Tucker children's book, "Tucker Gets Tuckered," was published in 2006. As one reader wrote, "If you are a dog lover you will love this book. . . The art-work is incredible." Another noted, "The story is fun for kids, but also rings true for all adults who have ever had a . . . dog. And the illustrations are world class."
