Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine unpacks the intersection of psychoanalysis as a psychological practice in Palestine while also advancing a set of therapeutic theories in which to critically engage and read the politically complex array of conditions that define life for Palestinians living under Israeli occupation. | Psychoanalysis Under Occupation Practicing Resistance in Palestine

Native American Roots Relationality and Indigenous Regeneration Under Empire 1770–1859

Native American Roots Relationality and Indigenous Regeneration Under Empire 1770–1859

Native American Roots: Relationality and Indigenous Regeneration Under Empire 1770–1859 explores the development of modern Indigenous identities within the settler colonial context of the early United States. With an aggressively expanding United States that sought to displace Native peoples the very foundations of Indigeneity were endangered by the disruption of Native connections to the land. This volume describes how Natives embedded conceptualizations integral to Indigenous ontologies into social and cultural institutions like racial ideologies black slaveholding and Christianity that they incorporated from the settler society. This process became one vital avenue through which various Native peoples were able to regenerate Indigeneity within environments dominated by a settler society. The author offers case studies of four different tribes to illustrate how Native thought processes not just cultural and political processes helped Natives redefine the parameters of Indigeneity. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of early American history indigenous and ethnic studies American historiography and anthropology. | Native American Roots Relationality and Indigenous Regeneration Under Empire 1770–1859

Love Under the Skin Interracial Marriages in the American South and France

Love Under the Skin Interracial Marriages in the American South and France

The rising visibility of interracial couples calls for increased attention to the overlapping of culture and race in safe spaces centered on small-group dynamics or in public spaces where peoples of African descent are under the public gaze. This comparative study seeks to de-center the U. S-centered viewpoint common to much of the literature on black/white relations. Based on nine years of fieldwork in the American South and in France Coquet shows many unexpected parallels between the two societies. Gendered perceptions of cultural authenticity and sexual ethics are a guiding thread being inseparable from the historical and political contingencies (re-)defining acceptable forms of dating marrying and parenting among cis-heterosexual couples in both societies. Her account emphasizes resilience and agency as couples seek to protect themselves and their children while their extended or symbolic kinship networks help white partners acknowledge the existence of racial privilege. | Love Under the Skin Interracial Marriages in the American South and France

Reporters Under Fire U.s. Media Coverage Of Conflicts In Lebanon And Central America

News media professionals especially those covering political events or wars are often accused of distorting the news or presenting biased and superficial analyses. Coverage of the recent conflicts in Central America and the Middle East has been especially controversial. In this volume which is based on a series of seminars sponsored by the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy at Georgetown University experienced journalists and media critics assess the complaints about coverage and the defenses the media marshall against those complaints. They explore the dilemmas that democratic societies face in trying to preserve traditional freedom of expression while pursuing political goals in ways that may involve the use of force. By analyzing the political impact of television coverage of battlefield scenes and the practical limitations and difficulties under which the media must work the authors illuminate the powerful role of the media in the shaping of American politics including diplomatic and military policies. | Reporters Under Fire U. s.
