Book Description
The Eloquent Blood focuses on the changing construction of femininity and feminine sexuality in interpretations of the goddess Babalon. A central deity in Thelema, the religion founded by the notorious British occultist Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), Babalon is based on Crowley's favorable reinterpretation of the biblical Whore of Babylon, and is associated with liberated female sexuality and the spiritual ideal of passionate union with existence. Combining research on historical and contemporary Western esotericism with feminist and queer theory, the book sheds light on the ways in which esoteric movements and systems of thought have developed over time in relation to political movements.

Book Description
This book examines the linkage between deviance and norm change in international politics. It draws on an original theoretical perspective grounded in the sociology of deviance to study the violations of norms and rules in the global nuclear non-proliferation regime. As such, this project provides a unique conceptual framework and applies it to highly salient issues in the contemporary international security environment. The theoretical/conceptual chapters are accompanied by three extensive case studies: Iran, North Korea, and India.

Book Description
The Shaman and the Jew The enduring struggle for ethnic, cultural, national, and individual survival characterizes human history.These are powerful forces that drive events, underlie deep psychological motivations, and when challenged, are uncompromising. While sadly foreseeing the impending cataclysmic termination to Moorish Muslim Spain by the Christian armies, the Sultan of Granada and his esteemed Jewish physician, Juan Diego Camerino de Valencia are in a rare private dialogue. It is 1492 and their empathic exchange is most remarkable. The Sultan knows he could never become a wanderer like the Jews and will heroically die in the final attack, while Doctor Diego, realizing there will be no future for Jews in Spain, bemoans the loss, once again, of a homeland for his family. His only son Antonio, with a name change to Christian, is sent to Cuba in the New World. The struggle for survival has also characterized the lives of a small native American tribe, the Karankawa. Their hold on a bit of relatively barren land in southern Texas is under constant stress. Initially the dominant Apaches were threatening, only to have pressures increased by proselytizing Catholic priests moving up from Mexico, and finally by European settlers pushing ever westward. The arrival of Christian, the son of Doctor Diego, changes the dynamic of events. Barely surviving a shipwreck, his unconscious body is found on the shore by the Karankawa, who kindly nurse him back to health, with the essential blessings of the Shaman. The friendship that soon develops between the Shaman and Antonio (who restores his name and identity as a Jew) impacts succeeding events. Though their bonding is strong and authentic, the Shaman harbors suspicians that Antonio is a messenger of God, whose powers will benefit the people. Antonio is committed to a new life, finally succumbing to the urging of the Shaman to marry his daughter. From this harmonious pair, new generations of leadership emerge who are able to remarkably preserve the Jewish traditions within a welcoming Karankawa embrace. It is a rare amalgamation of the Karankawa traditional beliefs and the awesome prophetic Jewish faith. The encounter of an anthropologist—of Apache descent—with Wapasha—the custodial Shaman of the Karankawa—highlights the unyielding tenacity of ancient cultures on the human sense of identity.

Book Description
For a decade now, the authors have been conducting interviews for Hungary's Oral History Archives, with the children of those Hungarians - national heroes, as they are generally seen today - who were imprisoned or executed for their involvement in the 1956 revolution. The vast body of material that has been collected, and is now at the disposal of sociologists, psychologists and others in the academic community, forms the basis of this volume. This is a documentation of memories of the revolt and, more particularly, its aftermath. The virtually spontaneous twelve-day uprising exerted a lasting effect on the fates of the families of the more than 20,000 who were imprisoned and 229 executed by the régime in the harsh reprisals that followed the crushing of the revolution (the last of them as late as the early 1960s), with active police surveillance extended to tens of thousands more. This intimidation, and the attendant social and economic devastation that it wrought, bore especially hard on the psyches, upbringing and education, and hence the subsequent opportunities and life courses of the children who grew up within those families. The material is grouped by theme: e.g. the effects on communication within families, changes in social status, how relatives and friends reacted, and what sorts of problems these children encountered in pursuing their studies, in trying to assimilate into society as adults, and in relating to those fathers who did return. In an appendix, the editors present detailed biographies of the people most directly affected, offering an unparalleled glimpse into the fates of those they interviewed. The documentation includes letters that the children wrote to their imprisoned fathers and the farewell letters of the executed to their families.

Book Description
Known for its clear and engaging writing, the bestselling Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class: The Sociology of Group Conflict and Change has been thoroughly updated to be fresher, more relevant, and more accessible to undergraduates. The text uses sociological perspectives and a consistent conceptual framework to tell the story of America’s minority groups, today and throughout history. By presenting information, asking questions, and examining controversies, it demonstrates that understanding what it means to be an American has always required us to grapple with issues of diversity and difference. This title is accompanied by a complete teaching and learning package.
