Reframing Immigrant Resistance Alliances Conflicts and Racialization in Italy

The Open Access version of this book available at http://www. taylorfrancis. com has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4. 0 license. This book focuses on the political participation and grassroots mobilization of immigrants and racialized communities in the European context. Based on extensive data collected in Italy it explores the role that alliances among pro-immigrant groups play in shaping political participation asking why and how immigrant activists mobilize in hostile environments why and how they create alliances with some white allies rather than others and what might explain variations in forms of political participation and grassroots mobilization at the local level. Using social movement critical race and post-colonial theories the author examines the ways in which both institutional and non-institutional actors including immigrant activists become involved and compete in the local arena over immigration and integration issues and assesses the mechanisms by which both conventional and non-conventional forms of participation are made possible or obstructed. By placing immigrant activists at the center of the analysis the book offers a valuable and novel insider perspective on political activism and the claims-making of marginalized groups. It also demonstrates how pro-immigrant groups can play a role in racializing immigrant activists. A study of the effects on participation in social mobilization of coalitions conflicts and racialization processes among pro-immigrant groups and immigrant activists this volume will appeal to scholars of sociology political science and political sociology with interests in migration ethnic and racial relations social movements and local governance. | Reframing Immigrant Resistance Alliances Conflicts and Racialization in Italy

Spain and Argentina in the First World War Transnational Neutralities

Spain and Argentina in the First World War Transnational Neutralities

This is the first book that analyzes the transnational impact of the Great War simultaneously on two countries Spain and Argentina that remained neutral throughout the conflict. Both countries were very relevant in the conception of propaganda and policies of belligerent countries such as France Germany and Great Britain and showed that the conflict had a global influence and affected deeply local political and cultural processes even in areas geographically distant from the trenches. Within this framework this book is focused on three aspects that are analyzed dynamically throughout the whole war from a transnational perspective: neutrality as a space of dispute between pro-Allies and pro-German sectors and its relation with local politics the debate about what positions should be assumed in order to guarantee a world without war and the polemics on the ideas of nations and supra-nations (Hispanism Latinism Pan-Americanism). The conclusions of the book highlight that the radicalization that exploded in 1917 in both countries was fundamental in shaping the political radicalization of the last months of the conflict and the postwar period. As happened in Europe the Great War did not finish in 1918 and its traces continued in the 1920s and 1930s. | Spain and Argentina in the First World War Transnational Neutralities

Ukraine Contested Nationhood in a European Context

Ukraine Contested Nationhood in a European Context

Ukraine: Contested Nationhood in a European Context challenges the common view that Ukraine is a country split between a pro-European West and a pro-Russian East. The volume navigates the complicated cultural history of Ukraine and highlights the importance of regional traditions for an understanding of the current political situation. A key feature is the different politics of memory that prevail in each region such as the Soviet past being presented as either a foreign occupation or a benign socialist project. The pluralistic culture of Ukraine (in terms of languages national legacies and religions) forms a nation that faces both internal and external challenges. In order to address this fully rather than following a merely chronological order this book examines different interpretations of Ukrainian nationhood that have been especially influential such as the Russian tradition the Habsburg past and the Polish connections. Finally the book analyses Ukraine’s political and economic options for the future. Can the desired integration into EU structures overcome the concentration of investment of power in the hands of a few oligarchs and a continuing widespread culture of corruption? Will proposals to join NATO which garnered robust support among the populace in the aftermath of the Russian aggression materialise under the current circumstances? Is the political culture in Ukraine sufficiently functional to guarantee democratic procedures and the rule of law? | Ukraine Contested Nationhood in a European Context

The Economic Consequences of the Euro The Safest Escape Plan

The Economic Consequences of the Euro The Safest Escape Plan

This book presents a new narrative on the eurozone crisis. It argues that the common currency has the potential to kill the European Union and the conventional wisdom that the eurozone can be fixed by a common budget and further political integration is incorrect. The authors address key questions such as why the European Union and the single market have been successful why the common currency poses a threat to European integration and whether it is possible to either fix the eurozone or dissolve it while keeping the EU and the single market. Contrary to the view that it would be best if the Southern European countries left the eurozone first the book makes the case that the optimal solution would be to start the process with the most competitive countries exiting first. The authors argue that a return to national currencies would be beneficial not only to the crisis-ridden southern countries but also to France and Germany which were the main promoters of the single currency. An organised unwinding of the euro area would be beneficial both for the European economy and for Europe’s main trading partners. The authors contend that to defend the euro at all costs weakens the European economy and threatens the cohesion of the European Union. If pro-European and pro-market EU leaders do not dismantle the eurozone it will most likely be done by their anti-European and anti-market successors. If that happens the European Union and the common market will be destroyed. This book will be a useful and engaging contribution to the existing literature in the fields of macro monetary and international finance and economics. | The Economic Consequences of the Euro The Safest Escape Plan

The Independent Labour Party 1914-1939 The Political and Cultural History of a Socialist Party

The Independent Labour Party 1914-1939 The Political and Cultural History of a Socialist Party

Historians of political history are fascinated by the rise and fall of political parties and for twentieth-century Britain most obviously the rise of the Labour Party and the decline of the Liberal Party. What is often overlooked in this political development is the work of the Independent Labour Party (ILP) which was a formative influence in the growth of the political Labour movement and its leaders in the late nineteenth century and the early to mid-twentieth century. The ILP supplied the Labour Party with some of its leading political figures such as Ramsay MacDonald and moved the Labour Party along the road of parliamentary socialism. However divided over the First World War and challenged by the Labour Party becoming socialist in 1918 it had to face the fact that it was no longer the major parliamentary socialist party in Britain. Although it recovered after the First World War rising to between 37 000 and 55 000 members it came into conflict with the Labour Party and two Labour governments over their gradualist approach to socialism. This eventually led to its disaffiliation from the Labour Party in 1932 and its subsequent fragmentation into pro-Labour pro-communist and independent groups. Its new revolutionary policy divided its members as did the Abyssinian crisis the Spanish Civil War and the Moscow Show Trials. By the end of the 1930s seeking to re-affiliate to the Labour Party it had been reduced to 2 000 to 3 000 members was a sect rather than a party and had earned Hugh Dalton’s description that it was the ‘ILP flea’. In the following monograph Keith Laybourn analyses the dynamic shifts in this history across 25 years. This scholarship will prove foundational for scholars and researchers of modern British history and socialist thought in the twentieth century. | The Independent Labour Party 1914-1939 The Political and Cultural History of a Socialist Party

Irishness and Womanhood in Nineteenth-Century British Writing

Irishness and Womanhood in Nineteenth-Century British Writing

In The Wild Irish Girl the powerful Irish heroine's marriage to a heroic Englishman symbolizes the Anglo-Irish novelist Lady Morgan's re-imagining of the relationship between Ireland and Britain and between men and women. Using this most influential of pro-union novels as his point of departure the author argues that nineteenth-century debates over what constitutes British national identity often revolved around representations of Irishness especially Irish womanhood. He maps out the genealogy of this development from Edgeworth's Castle Rackrent through Trollope's Irish novels focusing on the pivotal period from 1806 through the 1870s. The author's model enables him to elaborate the ways in which gender ideals are specifically contested in fiction the discourses of political debate and social reform and the popular press for the purpose of defining not only the place of the Irish in the union with Great Britain but the nature of Britishness itself. | Irishness and Womanhood in Nineteenth-Century British Writing

New Interdisciplinary Landscapes in Morality and Emotion

New Interdisciplinary Landscapes in Morality and Emotion

The intersection between morality and emotion is not always easily discernible. Researchers often choose to treat these concepts separately and in doing so an important aspect of this symbiosis is irremediably thwarted. New Interdisciplinary Landscapes in Morality and Emotion considers the relationship between these fields reflecting on complex philosophical psychological social evolutionary historical and literary approaches. The book reviews emerging paths and features contributions from distinct scientific fields including highly debated and somewhat controversial topics such as the relationship between empathy and in-group biases; emotion and irrationality; reflexivity and meta-emotions; shame and pro-social behaviour; the evolution of human jealousy; the role of love in driving moral motivation; individuals’ wellbeing; behavioural economics; social robotics; historical considerations of medical societies and politics of sadism; and literary reflections on sympathy and emigration. Covering various methodological angles and entanglements New Interdisciplinary Landscapes in Morality and Emotion will appeal to anyone interested in multidisciplinary dialogues from across the humanities sciences and the social sciences.

The Rise of Catalan Independence Spain’s Territorial Crisis

The Rise of Catalan Independence Spain’s Territorial Crisis

As recently as the mid-2000s Catalonia was described and analysed by scholars as exhibiting a non-secessionist nationalism and was seen within Europe and beyond as a role model for successful devolution which had much to teach other parts of the world. The Spanish state seemed to be on a journey towards an authentic federal order and was generally admired. However the new century has been marked by an ever-growing independence movement with 47. 8 per cent of Catalonia voting in favour of independence in September 2015. Pro-independence mobilization has produced a rupture in political relations with the rest of Spain leading to a sovereignty struggle with Madrid. This book explores how an accumulation of long- medium- and short-term factors have produced the current situation and why the Spanish territorial model has been unable or possibly unwilling to respond. The Catalan question is not purely a Spanish problem: it has direct implications for the traditional nation-state model in Europe and beyond. | The Rise of Catalan Independence Spain’s Territorial Crisis

Drawing upon extensive archival research interview material and musical analysis Female Composers Conductors Performers: Musiciennes of Interwar France 1919–1939 presents an innovative study of women working as professional musicians in France between the two World Wars. Hamer positions the activities achievements and reception of women composers conductors and performers against a contemporary socio-political climate that was largely hostile to female professionalism.

Hamer highlights the activities of Jane Evrard and her Orchestre féminin de Paris as well as the reception of the Orchestra of the Union des Femmes Professeurs et Compositeurs de Musique a contemporary pro-suffrage organisation that was dedicated to defending the collective interests of musiciennes and campaigning for their employment rights.
