The Slave's Cause

Winner of the 2017 Frederick Douglass Prize A groundbreaking history of abolition that recovers the largely forgotten role of African Americans in the long march toward emancipation from the American Revolution through the Civil War Received historical wisdom casts abolitionists as bourgeois, mostly white reformers burdened by racial paternalism and economic conservatism. Manisha Sinha overturns this image, broadening her scope beyond the antebellum period usually associated with abolitionism and recasting it as a radical social movement in which men and women, black and white, free and enslaved found common ground in causes ranging from feminism and utopian socialism to anti-imperialism and efforts to defend the rights of labor. Drawing on extensive archival research, including newly discovered letters and pamphlets, Sinha documents the influence of the Haitian Revolution and the centrality of slave resistance in shaping the ideology and tactics of abolition. This book is a comprehensive new history of the abolition movement in a transnational context. It illustrates how the abolitionist vision ultimately linked the slave’s cause to the struggle to redefine American democracy and human rights across the globe. Honors include:Longlist title for the 2016 National Book Awards Nonfiction categoryWinner of the 2017 Best Book Prize by the Society for Historians of the Early American RepublicWinner of the 2016 Avery O.

The book attends to a historical question — how to account for the high numbers of renouncers (sadhvis) mentioned in medieval and ancient texts — which has been acknowledged and raised, but left unaddressed within Jain studies. It does so through ethnographic data gathered through extensive fieldwork among the sadhvis in Delhi and Jaipur.The volume foregrounds the primacy of ‘choice’ and ‘agency’— upheld by the nuns themselves, who associate asceticism with autonomy, freedom, joy, spiritual well-being, self-worth and peace, and grihastha (household) with loss of independence, fettered existence, degradation, burdensome familial obligations and social responsibilities. It also examines whether it may be apt to term Jain nuns as practitioners of an ‘indigenous mode of feminism’. The book challenges the existing sociological theories of renunciation and tests the feminist concepts of agency and autonomy by investigating the culturally coded roles ascribed to women in Jainism, which are variegated, and examines how a fractured discourse and reality is resolved in the subjectivities and identities of female ascetics. The very legitimacy of the institution of female asceticism, and the way in which the society (samaj) upholds and sustains it, renders female asceticism into a socially approved alternative institution — albeit one that allows Jain nuns to create spaces of relative and autonomy and even prestige for themselves.

Azaadi, or ‘freedom’, represents a woman’s right to choose, and to live by the choices she makes. So what happens when you aren’t allowed to choose? When your childhood, education, worklife and self-determined future are forbidden due to your gender? In the conflict-torn and highly militarised region of Kashmir, ‘Azaadi’ can mean different things to different people. For one woman, it could mean expressing her innermost thoughts without the fear of punishment. For another, it could mean studying the subjects of her choice, or going out with friends without being harassed. It could also mean being able to wear make-up, or certain clothes; even to to read whatever one likes. This anthology of essays by women from the three main regions of Indian-administered-Kashmir—Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh—explores what Azaadi means in a country where basic rights for women are forbidden.

This book is a companion to parents in navigating the new childhood- marked by smart technology, increasing diversity, and growing uncertainties. While the Millennials and Gen Z parents of Gen Alpha are not new to technology and diversity, the speed and scale of societal and technological transformation can make parenting overwhelming. Here is a book that is more a conversation than a manual; an emphathetic guide than a bunch of thumbrules. Parents can turn to it when grandparents can’t be consulted on the new challenges and the internet throws as much misinformation as help. The book walks parents through the challenges posed by shifting global and local dynamics, being surrounded by people who are “different” at home and at work, and the dark side of technology. The biggest contribution of the book is that it is aimed at parenting that helps children benefit from diversity and technological advances and lead lives full of rich experiences rather than looking at diversity and technology with fear. Additionally, the authors have proposed ways in which parents can help their children become global citizens who not only think critically but also know how to acknowledge and negotiate with their personal biases. Showing the contribution of parenting in cultivating a growth mindset that values leadership, innovation, and responsibility, this book will be significantly useful to parents, teachers, university students, and counsellors while offering impressive material for courses in the departments of education, child development and family studies, psychology, social work, and media studies.

How many incomplete goals do you currently have on your agenda? If you're anything like the vast majority of us, then chances are that you have hundreds of projects that you started and never completed, countless goals that you told your friends but never saw through and all kinds of dreams that seem to be getting less and less likely to come to fruition.And it's for this reason, that you may find people roll their eyes when you tell them your 'next big project'. When you start a new training program to lose weight and everyone - including you - knows that you're likely to have lost interest by month two.Or when you talk about the app you intend to make, the website, or the business project.Or when you talk about that dream trip to Japan...This is the way of things for many of us. We work incredibly hard at things we don't feel passionately about just to put food on the table but when it comes to fulfilling our dreams, we are remarkably ineffective.It's time to change all that and to start making those goals happen. But how can you turn it all around?How We're Going to Fix Your Goal Setting and Help You to Start Living the Life of Your DreamsAccomplishing goals is about strategy, it is about making a cognitive shift to change the way you're thinking and it's about being smart about how you approach each goal. It's also about knowing how to choose your goals and even how to phrase them.This book is going to show you how to make those changes then. You'll learn how to choose and write goals effectively, how to write effective action plans and how to make sure you stick with your goals and never give up.But this book is going to be a little different than most goal-setting tomes, too. After we've given you the broad tools you need to start setting and accomplishing your goals, we're then going to take a look at how you can begin to put them into practice.Because while a goal can be pretty much anything, for many of us they are going to fall into one of a few different categories. Most of us have goals for our relationships, goals for our fitness, goals for our careers and goals for travel. We're going to provide not only the abstract strategies you need to start making effective goals then, but also the step-to-step processes that will let you apply these strategies in each of these areas. By the end of this book, you'll be adept at setting and accomplishing any goal. And at the same time, you'll have powerful strategies for improving your relationships, your fitness, your career and more.Ready to change your life?Learning how toset goals properly is arguably the most powerful skill that you can possibly learn. Why? Because it will allow you to then accomplish a huge range of other goals. When you know how to set goals, it allows you to effectively work toward anything. This is the key to unlocking pretty much everything you could want from life.So ironically, the first goal you should focus on is the goal of setting goals And until now, you've probably been doing it all wrong...The Problem With Your Current GoalsHow can a goal be wrong?Sure, any objective is a worthwhile one, but the way that you phrase your goals and structure them, is going to massively change your likelihood of finding success.Let's take weight loss as an example because it's one of the more straightforward goals that is easiest to implement.When you set out to lose weight, you should start with a concrete goal. And for most people this will look something like this: "Lose 2 stone by next year" This is a terrible goal.
The Rhetoric of Hindu India

The Rhetoric of Hindu India

Manisha Basu

Cambridge University Press

This book examines the late twentieth-century rise of the urban, right-wing Hindu nationalist ideology known as metropolitan Hindutva. This ideology, the book assesses, aspires to be a pan-Indian, urban form that is home to the emerging, digitally enabled, technocratic middle classes of the nation. Through close analyses of the writings of a range of self-styled public intellectuals, from Arun Shourie and Swapan Dasgupta to Chetan Bhagat and Amish Tripathi, this book maps this new avatar of Hindutva. Finally, in analyzing the language of metropolitan Hindutva, it arrives at an emerging idea of India as part of what Amitav Ghosh has called a contemporary Anglophone empire. This is the first extended scholarly effort to theorize a politics of language in relation to the dangers of such an imperializing Hindutva.
Subaltern Movements in India

Social struggles in India target both the state and private corporations. Three subaltern struggles against development in Gujarat, India, succeeded, to varying degrees, due to legalism from below and translocal solidarity, but that success has been compromised by its gendered geographies.Based on extensive field research, this book examines the reasons for the three social movements succeess. It analyses the contradictory reality of the deepening of democracy along with coercive state measures in the era of neoliberal development, the importance of the legal changes in the state, the nature of the local fields of protest, and the translocal field of protest in contemporary subaltern protests. Addressing gender inequalities within and outside the struggle, the author shows that despite subaltern women having symbolic visibility in the public spaces of the struggles – such as rallies, protests, and meetings with government officials – they are absent from the private spaces of decision-making and collective dialogues.This book offers a new approach on the politics of social movements in contemporary India by discussing the nuanced relationship between development and democracy, social justice and gender justice. It will be of interest to academics in the field of Development and Gender studies, Studies of social movements and South Asian Studies.
