Abstract:

Abstract Martial Sound is an ethnographic book examining the music of traditional Chinese martial arts. More specifically, the book investigates the gong and drum percussion used to accompany the lion dance and kung fu, as practised by the Hong Luck Kung Fu Club in Toronto, Canada. Hong Luck’s history and character are distinctive, but the club’s practices and approaches are typical of many styles of Southern Chinese martial arts, both in China and abroad. The book proposes a theory of martial sound, which is the way we can hear music as martial arts and listen to hand combat as musicking, pro

Abstract:

This chapter examines martial arts practice as an encounter with failure, in which a practitioner withstands both getting hit and launching shots that do not land. Martial arts practice signals the possibilities of failure but also admits its painful consequences, literally and metaphorically. Therefore, this chapter suggests, martial arts provide an opportunity to rethink cultural associations of failure in a society that would deny it. Even the current celebration of failure in the form of “failing up” and “soft landings” focuses only on instances when failure becomes transmuted into success

Abstract:

Abstract Race, Time, and Utopia: Critical Theory and the Process of Emancipation argues that racial injustice, at its core, is the domination of time, and utopia has been the response to this domination. The racially dominated are not free to define what counts as “progress,” they are not free from the accumulation of past injustices, and, most importantly, they are not free from the arbitrary organization of work in capitalist labor markets. Racially unjust societies are forms of life where the justifications for how to organize time around life, labor, and leisure are out of the hands of the

Abstract:

This chapter tracks martial or “ravaging rape” since the ancient Mediterranean period. It demonstrates how ravaging has historically been practiced as a form of warfare. It describes how ravaging exerts martial ethno-religious hegemony over people by targeting their reproductive capacity and childbearing customs. It charts this practice in modern times, focusing on the sexual violence of Serbian forces toward Bosnian women. The linkages between historical and modern practices underscore the continuities of harm and violence that women experience in situations of war. The chapter situates recen

Africans in England were active in abolitionist causes and expressed outrage at callous treatment of slaves at sea. African American abolitionists argued against slavery with the use of both religious and scientific principles. Douglass argued for the existence of only one

Abstract:

William G. Martin'sSemiperipheral States in the World-Economydiverges sharply from past international labor division interpretations of semiperipheral development. Martin emphasizes the importance of each country's individual conditions. Linking each example, however, is the theory that there is a relatively rare set of conditions that make economic, political, and social advancement of the semiperipheral states successful or even possible. Martin and the contributing writers present the thesis that mobility of semiperipheral states to the core world-economy is a very rare phenomenon. Indeed,

Did the Civil rights movement of the Fifties and Sixties fail to address economic issues and to grasp that class, beyond just race, was the main cleavage and the greater hindrance in American Society? Many historians and social scientists contend that the movement too narrowly circumscribed its mission, deceptively assuming that specific race-based demands were the only way to achieve social equality and racial fairness. This book argues that, despite an inability to hamper a growing class divide, significant members of the Black Liberation movement actually intertwined civil rights to economi

In these novels, some strange and often menacing occurrence (such as the approach of an alien object to Earth) triggers conflict between scientists, government interests, and global politics. Benford's scientific thrillers—in their detailed descriptions of how science works, how it is conducted in the laboratory, and how this interacts with personal conflicts and institutional politics—hearken back to an important curr

Abstract:

As Nerva’s coinage has been studied almost exclusively with historical hindsight, and with the biases of later historians in mind, there is an impulse to read Nerva’s “weak” character into his coinage. This bias is most pronounced on his coinage bearing military themes, which are interpreted as “apologetic,” “hopeful,” or a “desperate plea” to the army to forestall mutiny. State-sanctioned art did not operate in this way and always presented the emperor positively. Reinterpreted in the context of historical representations, the martial imagery on the coinage was traditional and to be expected

The racial makeup of sports in the United States serves as a classic example of racism in the 21st century. This book examines the racial disparities in sports and the continuing significance of race in 21st-century America, debunking the myth of a “postracial society.” Sports can serve as an inspirational example of what can be achieved through hard work and perseverance, regardless of one's race. However, there is plenty of evidence that race still plays a major role in sports, and that sports are key agents of racial socialization. White Sports/Black Sports: Racial Disparities in Athletic P

Recent violent racial events in the United States, starting with the killing in Florida of Travon Martin by a white “crime vigilante” George Zimmerman, and followed in Fergusson, Missouri, by the killing of nineteen-year-old Michael Brown, by a white police officer, have provoked critical discussions about the issue of racial violence against young black males in US society. As a major crisis for black America, such killings have motivated cries about injustice from all quarters of society concerned with advancing social and racial justice.

The racial ideology of colorblindness has a long history. In 1963, Martin Luther King famously stated, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." However, in the decades after the civil rights movement, the ideology of colorblindness co-opted the language of the civil rights era in order to reinvent white supremacy, fuel the rise of neoliberalism, and dismantle the civil rights movement’s legal victories without offending political decorum.

While Africa remained a future possibility, Eastern Europe offered readily accessible territory for the fulfillment of colonial ambitions.

Conversely, Louise Erdrich’s Love Medicine (1984) jumps back and forth across time to narrate the lives of interconnected families in the western United States. Bradbury’s cycle invokes a confluence of historical forces—time as value-laden, work as a calling, and travel as necessitating standardized time—and co

His story reveals the underside of the American Dream, and his later successes in helping farm workers and building a union to represent them are a testament to something extraordinary in a seemingly ordinary man. As a young man, Chavez looked for a way out of the fields in the
