Interpreting Clifford Geertz

Interpreting Clifford Geertz

Jeffrey C. Alexander; Philip Smith

Palgrave Macmillan
2011
nidottu
Theorist Clifford Geertz's influence extends far beyond Anthropology. This volume reflects the breadth of his influence, looking at Geertz as a theorist rather than as an anthropologist. To date there has been no impartial, comprehensive, and authoritative work published on this critical figure.

A Principled Constitution?

A Principled Constitution?

Steven D. Smith; Larry Alexander; James Allan; Maimon Schwarzschild

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2022
sidottu
Is the United States Constitution the embodiment of certain principles? The four authors of this book for a variety of reasons, and with somewhat different emphases, believe the answer is no. Those who authored the Constitution no doubt all believed in liberty, equality, and, with caveats, republican self-government values, or if you will, principles. But they had different conceptions of those principles and what those principles entailed for constituting a government. Although the Constitution they created reflected, in some sense, their principles, the Constitution itself was a specific list of do’s and don’ts that its creators hoped would gain the allegiance of the newly independent and sovereign states. And, for somewhat different reasons, the authors of this book believe that was a good thing.

Driving Systemic Change and Empowerment for Women of Colour in Public Services

Driving Systemic Change and Empowerment for Women of Colour in Public Services

Suzanne Simmons-Lewis; Sandra Smith; Samantha Alexander

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2026
nidottu
Change is needed now. For too long, stories of Black Women, where English is not their first language, and Women of Colour in Public Services are silenced, distorted and ignored. Driving Systemic Change and Empowerment for Women of Colour in Public Services: The Burden of One presents a powerful, multi-voiced, faith-filled narrative that reclaims space and presence. The personal journeys reveal the invisible labour, silent tears, self-efficacy and relentless determination required to survive; thriving in spaces not built for them. Transforming isolation into power, the book traces resilience from childhood trauma and workplace exclusion to grassroots organizing and institutional reform. Blending raw, intersectional storytelling with systemic critique and practical tools, this resource is inspiring and actionable. Part memoir, part social commentary, part guidebook, it offers a blueprint for inclusive leadership, legacy-building and collective empowerment, detailing individual stories that spark systemic change. Whether you’re a policymaker, practitioner, educator, ally or woman who believes change won’t come in her lifetime, this book provides insight, strength and strategies to create a more inclusive future. Driving Systemic Change and Empowerment for Women of Colour in Public Services: The Burden of One calls us to action, reminding everyone that no one carries the burden alone. Every story matters, every voice counts – together, they reshape leadership, inclusion and empowerment across the public sector. More than a book—it’s a movement. You’re not alone. You matter.

Gerrymandering in America

Gerrymandering in America

McGann Anthony J.; Smith Charles Anthony; Latner Michael; Keena Alex

Cambridge University Press
2016
pokkari
This book considers the political and constitutional consequences of Vieth v. Jubelirer (2004), where the Supreme Court held that partisan gerrymandering challenges could no longer be adjudicated by the courts. Through a rigorous scientific analysis of US House district maps, the authors argue that partisan bias increased dramatically in the 2010 redistricting round after the Vieth decision, both at the national and state level. From a constitutional perspective, unrestrained partisan gerrymandering poses a critical threat to a central pillar of American democracy, popular sovereignty. State legislatures now effectively determine the political composition of the US House. The book answers the Court's challenge to find a new standard for gerrymandering that is both constitutionally grounded and legally manageable. It argues that the scientifically rigorous partisan symmetry measure is an appropriate legal standard for partisan gerrymandering, as it logically implies the constitutional right to individual equality and can be practically applied.

Sudden disruptions in power and other major services sends a city into chaos. In the blink of an eye, the modern technological world fails. Is it a government plot? Experiment gone wrong? A foreign cyber attack? Alien invasion? A mystical incursion from beings beyond this dimension? Who knows? Now the noise and the bustle of the city has vanished and an eerie silence settles over the urban landscape. Within, there are stories of human violence, depravity, and desperation, but also heroism, selflessness, and sacrifice. Silence in the City is an anthology of speculative tales asking what happens when a city-and all of modern civilization-is plunged into darkness.
