"Fascinating....a terrific volume that will be eye-opening to academics and general readers alike."--"Publishers Weekly""In "Typecasting," two ace historians offer a profound and sweeping study of the most everyday, often unconscious, forms of prejudice. It's] bound to make you think--and think again."--Barbara Ehrenreich"With great wit and dark irony, the Ewens remind us that modern culture has been a sinkhole of pseudo-scientific stereotype and racial hallucination. Few books so properly deserve the title of required reading."--Mike Davis"An absolute 'must-have' for sociology shelves, enthusiastically recommended for public and college libraries alike."--"Midwest"" Book Review"In this monumental work of popular history, Elizabeth and Stuart Ewen vividly expose the pivotal developments that have made stereotypes a persistent, common language. Moving across centuries and continents in thirty eloquent vignettes, their extraordinary journey not only uncovers the incubation of modern stereotypes in the halls of science and aesthetics but traces their materialization in the popular imagination. Their detective work in museum archives, popular magazines, and film uncovers how stereotypes have served as the groundwork for power in the modern world.Elizabeth Ewen is the distinguished teaching professor of American studies at SUNY, Old Westbury. Stuart Ewen is the CUNY distinguished professor of film and media studies at Hunter College and in the PhD programs in history and sociology at the CUNY Graduate Center.

Channels Of Desire

Channels Of Desire

University of Minnesota Press

Stuart Ewen and Elizabeth Ewen offer a telling examination of the rise of mass-produced imagery in the United States, tracing the pivotal role that such images played in the genesis and development of the American imagination. Beginning with the rise of the machine and the emergence of consumerism as a common way of life, the authors lay a strong foundation for an understanding of the twentieth-century American media culture.Spanning a wide range of fascinating subjects-movies, fashion, tabloid journalism-Ewen and Ewen offer forceful insights into the mechanisms that link alluring images and popular imagination to the entrenched structures of power. Channels of Desire seeks to broaden our understanding of the social history behind the apparent immortality of a consumer society-its universe of commodities, its priorities and social forms, and the modern consumer ethic that stresses images over substance, desire over satisfaction, and the individual over society.

"Typecasting is merely the most lucid and instructive history book to be published in the new millennium. "--Kurt Vonnegut, author of A Man Without a Country "In Typecasting, two ace historians offer a profound and sweeping study of the most everyday, often unconscious, forms of prejudice. It's] bound to make you think--and think again. " - Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Bait and Switch - Investigating the practice of science in the service of prejudice, Ewen & Ewen bring to life the dark history of the Age of Democracy, where every step toward equality has found a parallel retreat into hierarchical dogma: In 1776, as some American colonials proclaimed that all men are created equal, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, court physician to England's King George III, subdivided humanity into five unequal categories.Early-twentieth-century socialist and birth control advocate Margaret Sanger saw one of birth control's potential uses as being a tool for curbing the procreation of "socially degenerate" populations: those "unfit" for democracy.In 2005, Lawrence Summers, then president of Harvard University suggested "issues of intrinsic aptitude" were to account for the underrepresentation of women in the sciences and mathematics.In this monumental work of popular history, Ewen & Ewen vividly expose the pivotal developments that have made stereotypes a persistent, common language. Moving across centuries and continents in thirty eloquent vignettes, their extraordinary journey uncovers the incubation of modern stereotypes in the halls of science and aesthetics and traces their materialization in the popular imagination. Their detective work in museum archives, popular magazines, and film alike, uncovers how stereotype has served as the groundwork of power in the modern world.

A wholly new perspective on the importance of gardens and agriculture on the Chacoan world, establishing the female dominated gardeners as the basis of Chacoan culture. Author David E. Stuart digs beyond the standard archaeological examination of structures, tools, and rituals of the age to provide a more rounded view of this remarkable culture. An original look at the gardens and gardeners of the Chacoan World, internationally acclaimed ethno-anthropologist David E. Stuart’s Ancient Women Gardeners: Prelude to the Chacoan World explores the ecological, demographic, and human dynamics that led to Chaco’s rise and fall from its early beginnings in the 500s AD to its decline during the 1100s AD. The Chacoan system represents North America’s earliest form of an emergent urban ecology. From its outset, Chacoan farm nodes consisted of widely scattered clusters of gardens connected by roads, way stations, and district granaries. Chaco’s women gardeners fueled powerful growth that was eventually aborted as unforeseen dynamics barred the path to long-term sustainability. Stuart considers the intersection of population growth, agricultural yields, crop and soil possibilities, the caloric cost of labor, the corrosive role of pellagra, iron-deficiency anemia, the power of dietary protein in population dynamics, and the limitations imposed by early growth in the San Juan Basin—a land of poor soils, unpredictable rainfall, and rapidly declining wild vegetal foods and game. Focusing on the Chacoan landscape, farming techniques, and a world in which clusters of individual gardening families played a key role in creating an incipient urbanism in the Southwest, Stuart argues that without these accomplished gardening families and their agricultural innovations, there never would have been a “Chaco Phenomenon.”

This new Blackstone's Guide provides the complete text of the Companies Act 2006, together with a clear explanation of the legislation and its impact. The Companies Act is a major piece of legislation - comprising 1300 sections and 16 schedules. It represents an attempt to reform company law for the 21st century in accordance with the Government's stated objectives of encouraging small companies, promoting shareholder involvement and fostering a long term investment culture. It puts whole areas of company law which are the product of the common law such as directors' duties and derivative actions on a statutory basis for the first time, and implements EU Directives on Takeovers and Transparency Obligations. The 2006 Act almost completely consolidates companies legislation in one place with only a few minor provisions remaining in the 1985 Act. This Guide provides a clear analysis of the new legislation, explaining both its genesis and likely effect. The authors adopt a topic-based approach, focussing on the most important changes and developments for both private and public companies. The Blackstone's Guide Series delivers concise and accessible books covering the latest legislative changes and amendments. Published soon after enactment, they offer timely and expert commentary on the meaning and effects of the legislation, plus a copy of the Act itself. The Guides are a cost-effective solution to key information needs and are the perfect companion for any practitioner needing to get up to speed with the latest changes.
