The Dawn of Agriculture and the Earliest States in Genesis 1-11

The Dawn of Agriculture and the Earliest States in Genesis 1-11

This book invites a close textual encounter with the first 11 chapters of Genesis as an intimate drama of marginalised peoples wrestling with the rise of the world’s first grain states in the Mesopotamian alluvium. The initial 11 chapters of Genesis are often considered discordant and fragmentary despite being a story of beginnings within the context of the Bible. Readers discover how these formative chapters cohere as a cross-generational account of peoples grappling with the hegemonic spread of domesticated grain production and the concomitant rise of the pristine states of Mesopotamia. The book reveals how key episodes from the Genesis narrative reflect major societal revolutions of the Neolithic period in Mesopotamia through a three-fold hermeneutical method: literary analysis of the Bible and contemporary cuneiform texts; modern scholarship from archaeological anthropological ecological and historical sources; and relevant exegesis from the Second Temple and rabbinical era. These three strands entwine to recount a generally sequential story of the earliest archaic states as narrated by non-elites at the margins of these emerging state spaces. The Dawn of Agriculture and the Earliest States in Genesis 1–11 provides a fascinating reading of the first 11 chapters of Genesis appealing to students and scholars of the Hebrew Bible and the Near East as well as those working on ecological injustice from a religious vantage point. | The Dawn of Agriculture and the Earliest States in Genesis 1-11

Women in Agriculture Breaking the Grass Ceiling

As per census 2011 figures four out of five women workers in rural India work as agriculture workers as owner cultivators or as wage workers. This research monograph is about women farmers—women who are engaged primarily in the cultivation of vegetables and fruits and predominantly belong to small and marginal land holdings households. It is the outcome of a baseline survey done in the year 2010-11 in three districts of Uttar Pradesh as part of an action intervention project. Based on the survey findings it discusses the structural and other factors that promote and perpetuate gender inequality and prevent women from realizing their full potential as farmers; presents the struggles positive experiences and practices; explores possible interventions at different levels for different stakeholders; and suggests a framework keeping the women's agency/empowerment at center stage while simultaneously enhancing their wellbeing. | Women in Agriculture Breaking the Grass Ceiling

Seamus Heaney’s American Odyssey

Seamus Heaney’s American Odyssey

Seamus Heaney’s American Odyssey describes with a new archive of correspondence interviews and working drafts the some 40 years that Seamus Heaney spent in the United States as a teacher lecturer friend and colleague and as an active poet on the reading circuit. It is anchored by Heaney’s appointments at Berkeley and Harvard but it also follows Heaney’s readings “on the road” at three important points in his career. It argues that Heaney was initially receptive to American poetry and culture while his career was still plastic but as he developed more assurance and fame he became much more critical of America as a superpower especially in the military reaction to 9/11. This study emphasizes “the heard Heaney” as much as the “writerly Heaney” by listening in on key poetry readings at different times and to recorded but unpublished lectures on American and British poets at Harvard. It includes accounts by his creative writing students aspiring poets who testify to his mentoring as well as modeling for them how one can be “a poet in the world” as he was most strikingly.

Fundamental Principles of International Relations

Fundamental Principles of International Relations

This book distills the essential elements of world politics both the enduring characteristics as well as the revolutionary changes that may be altering the very fabric of the centuries-old state system. Author J. Martin Rochester explores all the important topics that one would expect to find in an IR text (war diplomacy foreign policy international law and organization the international economy and more) but injects fresh perspectives on how globalization and other contemporary trends are affecting these issues. In addition the author does so through a highly engaging lively writing style that will appeal to today's students. Fundamental Principles of International Relations is a tightly woven treatment of international politics past and present drawing on the latest academic scholarship while avoiding excessive jargon and utilizing pedagogical aids while avoiding clutter. Rochester ultimately challenges the reader to think critically about the future of a post-Cold War and post-9/11 world that is arguably more complex if not more dangerous than some previous eras with the potential for promise as well as peril.

After Life Recent Philosophy and Death

After Life Recent Philosophy and Death

Dreams and fantasies of immorality date back to the first human being who was expelled from the Garden of Eden and fell into time as Augustine recounts. Falling into time into mortality living with the consciousness of death and the decline of the body bear a terrifying—and yet for some pacifying—burden that comes with the weight of being human. Today with the advancement of technology accompanied by the emergence of trends such as posthumanism and transhumanism the idea of overcoming death is presented as no longer a mere fantasy but a legitimate discursive stance. While death is often seen as the Muse of philosophy what would it mean (philosophically and psychically) to live in a world where death is no longer necessary? After Life: Recent Philosophy and Death is a collection of 11 essays addressing the place of death and its denial from a philosophical psychoanalytic and literary perspectives. This collection offers contemporary and fresh insights on these timely questions. It was originally published as a special issue of Angelaki. | After Life Recent Philosophy and Death

Constructing a Cross-Border Region in the Pacific Northwest The Residents of Cascadia at the Canada/US Border

Constructing a Cross-Border Region in the Pacific Northwest The Residents of Cascadia at the Canada/US Border

For residents living at national borders the divisions between countries are rarely black and white and often everyday interactions contribute to the creation of a cross-border region. This book examines this phenomenon in Cascadia which runs along the Canada/US border in the Pacific Northwest. Placing people at the heart of the analysis the book considers the everyday interactions and links which bind residents together and help to define Cascadia as a cross-border region. The book also assesses the impact that increased border security in the wake of 9/11 has had on border residents. Following a bottom-up approach rather than a top-down approach the book examines how border security impacts the residents’ mobility their representations of the border and potentially the existence of a cross-border identity. Drawing on extensive original qualitative and quantitative data this book will be of interest to researchers across border studies geography geopolitics and cultural studies as well as to policy-makers and other stakeholders with an interest in cross-border cooperation. | Constructing a Cross-Border Region in the Pacific Northwest The Residents of Cascadia at the Canada/US Border

Ubuntu Philosophy and Disabilities in Sub-Saharan Africa

Ubuntu Philosophy and Disabilities in Sub-Saharan Africa

This book uses Ubuntu philosophy to illuminate the voices of people with disabilities from Sub-Saharan Africa. Disability literature is largely dominated by scholars and studies from the Global North and these studies are largely informed by Global North theories and concepts. Although disability literature in the Global South is now fast growing most studies continue to utilise conceptual theoretical and philosophical frameworks that are framed within Global North contexts. This presents two major challenges: Firstly the voices of people with disabilities in the Global South remain on the fringes of disability discourses. Secondly when their voices are heard their realities are distorted. This edited book consisting of 11 chapters provides case studies from Botswana Ghana Lesotho Uganda and South Africa explores disability in various fields: Inclusive education higher education environment Open Distance Learning and Technical and Vocational Education and Technical Colleges. The book contributes to the ways in which disability is understood and experienced in the Global South thereby challenging the Western hegemonic discourses on disability. This collection of contributions will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies development studies medical sociology and African studies. | Ubuntu Philosophy and Disabilities in Sub-Saharan Africa

Reading Contemporary Environmental Justice Narratives from Kerala

Reading Contemporary Environmental Justice Narratives from Kerala

This volume investigates 11 contemporary environmental justice narratives from Kerala the south-western state in India. Introducing a detailed review of environmental literature in Malayalam the selected eco-narratives are presented through two key literary genres: life narratives and novels conveying the socio-environmental pressures problems and anxieties of modern globalising Kerala. This text also entails primary investigations of ‘toxic fictions’ and ‘extractivist fictions ’ including Malayalam novels that narrate the disastrous consequences of the permeation of toxic pollutants in human and ecosystemic bodies and novels that chronicle the impact of exploitative mining activities on the environment. All eco-narratives analysed in the book exhibit the familiar pattern of the Global South environmental narratives namely a close imbrication of the ecological and social spheres.
