Abstract:
Capitalist economies consist of co-habiting economies, an economy of exchange of goods and services, or the “economy of the present.” This economy is dwarfed by an “economy of the future” that trades in anticipated future earnings and income streams. However profitable, the organized criminal world operates largely in the economy of the present and caught in the slow lanes of the modern economy. But as many criminal organizations are run by savvy businessmen, they seek to access the economy of futurity by “laundering” not only money, but the very organizations they operate. The ease of incorporation and the opacity provided by offshore secrecy jurisdictions allow criminal organizations to appear to be legitimate businesses and thus to access the realm of futurity.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter traces the origins of Young-Earth creationism by focusing on the Scopes trial of 1925, with particular emphasis on how it became a template for subsequent clashes over the irreconcilable issue of evolution versus religion. That template includes public schools as the battleground of choice as well as Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan. The Scopes trial was not just a reaction against Charles Darwin and evolution, but against science in general. Despite creationism being suspect science, it is a model of political activism that took form at the Scopes trial. This chapter considers the rapid growth of antievolutionism in the early twentieth century and how antievolutionists worked their way into the cultural mainstream with savvy media campaigns. It also examines how Bryan and Darrow defined the subsequent place of antievolutionism for fundamentalists.

Abstract:
This book explores the societal, technological, and user-related factors in understanding why and how digitally savvy college students in Asia’s most mobile cities—Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taipei—seek news via the mobile phone, how they evaluate mobile news for credibility and usefulness, and the consequences of this practice: becoming engaged with mobile news, which then teaches them about current affairs. The analyses are situated at the intersection of technological advances from 3G to 4G and marked differences in political and media systems across the four cities, which jointly shape Asia’s new generations of citizens. Technologically, the deeply diffused mobile phone motivates civic-minded millennials and centennials in Asia to access news with their phones and engage with the news for civic learning. However, sociopolitical factors impede potential positive outcomes of mobile news consumption. Cross-societal comparisons of survey data collected from two time periods reveal new insights into the interplay of technology and society in consuming mobile news.

Full text
Abstract:
Weakness of Savoy in the face of minorities and premature deaths from 1478 to Charles II’s accession in 1504 bequeathed grave political and financial problems, alongside growing tensions between the Estates of Savoy (capital Chambéry) and the Estate of Piedmont (capital Turin), with the latter far outstripping the former in granting the duke much needed subsidies. Difficulties were compounded by Charles’s own irresolution and procrastination, as well as his appointing favourites as councillors. Charles was further handicapped by the onset of the Italian Wars, with Savoy harried and plundered by foreign armies. Despite an advanced fiscal administration, Savoy was constantly in financial straits, forcing the duke to raise loans on foreign capital markets.

Full text
Abstract:
Much of francophone Switzerland (the Romandie) was a region open to rival political powers. Savoy controlled the Chablais and the Vaud, but Burgundy had designs upon the Romandie, and so did France, both in respect of the Franche-Comté and eastwards across the Jura mountains to the county of Neuchâtel. Alsatian cities and western Swiss cities, principally Bern, in turn had western ambitions, whether active or reactive. The principal means of securing influence in this open landscape was the protective alliance (Burgrecht), granted to lords, ecclesiastical foundations, and towns in return for admission to citizenship in the cities, some of whom became in due course associated members of the Confederation. The many and renewed Burgrechte between Bern (and Fribourg) and Savoy came under strain, however, because the cities accepted Savoy subjects as citizens, latterly citizens of Geneva, over which Savoy asserted jurisdiction.

Fernández, Johanna. The Young Lords. University of North Carolina Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.5149/northcarolina/9781469653440.001.0001.

Abstract:
Against the backdrop of America’s urban rebellions in the 1960s, an unexpected cohort of New York radicals unleashed a series of urban guerrilla actions against the city’s racist policies and contempt for the poor. They occupied a hospital, took over a church, paralyzed traffic with uncollected garbage, tested children for lead poisoning, defended prisoners, fought the military police, and fed breakfast to poor children. Their dramatic flair, uncompromising vision for a new society, and skill in linking local problems to international crises riveted the media, alarmed New York’s political class, and challenged nationwide perceptions of civil rights and black power protest. The group called itself the Young Lords. Utilizing oral histories, archival records, and an enormous cache of police records released only after a decade-long Freedom of Information Law request and subsequent court battle, Johanna Fernández has written the definitive history of the Young Lords, from its roots as a Chicago street gang to its rise and fall as a political organization in New York. Led by working-class Puerto Rican youth and modelled after the Black Panther Party, the Young Lords confronted race and class inequality and questioned U.S. foreign policy. Their imaginative protests and media savvy tactics won reforms, popularized socialism, and exposed America’s imperial project in Puerto Rico. Fernández challenges what we think we know about the sixties. In riveting style, she demonstrates how the Young Lords redefined the character of protest, the color of politics, and the cadence of urban culture in the age of great dreams.

Full text
Abstract:
For decades, the United States has funded democracy promotion programs in the Middle East to little avail. Delta Democracy: Pathways to Incremental Civic Revolution in Egypt and Beyond argues that there is another way forward for US democracy aid. Drawing upon the author’s ethnographic research on Egypt’s nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the wake of the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings, Delta Democracy uncovers the strategies that local NGOs used to incrementally build a more democratic and just society. As it takes the reader inside the walls of Egypt’s NGOs, the book illuminates local activists’ perspectives on democracy in Egypt and reveals how savvy organizations promoted it as they navigated rapidly evolving opportunities and constraints in the years following the uprisings. Departing from US democracy brokers’ heavy-handed attempts to reform national political institutions, local organizations worked with grassroots communities to build a culture of democracy through public discussion and debate, free expression, and rights claiming. By weaving this democracy building work into public-facing economic development projects, Egypt’s NGOs managed to persevere through years of government crackdowns on civil society. Taking lessons learned from the Egyptian case, Delta Democracy advances our scholarly understanding of how civil society organizations maneuver state repression to combat political authoritarianism. It also offers a concrete set of recommendations on how US policymakers can restructure foreign aid to better connect with global contemporary civic revolutions for democracy.

Abstract:
This chapter provides a rhetorical analysis of “consciousness-raising hip-hop.” Merging personal stories with an encyclopedic knowledge of contemporary pop culture, it argues that a politically savvy subgenre of hip-hop artists are raising awareness about incarceration in the black community and producing effective strategies for community activism. The hip-hop movement plays an important role in illuminating the problems of the prison-industrial complex by creating spaces of prison protest and modeling sources of community care. The analysis of hip-hop focuses on the artists, music, and (life)styles that promote a type of citizen-orator that is Ciceronian in character. Particular attention is given to those hip-hop artists who fit the definition of “consciousness-raising” by providing hope to prisoners and communities working to transform the U.S. criminal-justice system.

Abstract:
This chapter shows how the very deadliness of the commodity form—its radical detachment from any traditional context—ultimately extends the affective range and reach of popular music. It argues that the rock counterculture was founded not against, but through technological manipulation, commercial standardization, and consumer desire, and thus provided fans with new, more thrilling ways of inhabiting a national scene defined by market identities and taste cultures. Somewhere between Marcel Duchamp's arty toss-off and Elvis Presley's tossed-off art, a certain indifference comes to infect popular culture at large. In the end, this chapter focuses on the experiences and emergent sites of fandom, arguing that, with each cut, the King presented his body as an affectively charged and fully mediated public body and that, with records, radio, television, and film, his revolt extended—from one savvy fan to the next—across the body politic at large.

Abstract:
Fuller moved to London as radical events erupted there. Parliament won the right to remain in session without fear of a royal dissolution. Two of King Charles’s ministers were impeached. In early 1642, the king, alarmed by mob activities, left London. Fuller’s The Holy State outlined effectively religious and political policies that would strengthen, rather than split the Church and kingdom. By the end of 1642, he was the minister at the Savoy Chapel, located between the city of London and Westminster, and a member of the peace party within the clergy. Rather than subscribe to the parliamentary cause he left London for Oxford. He became a chaplain in the royalist army of Sir Ralph Hopton and then chaplain to the infant Princess Henrietta in Exeter. In 1646 he returned to London as a defeated royalist in a country that had undergone remarkable changes.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the Italian Army’s full occupation of southeastern France that began with the November 1942 invasion. In November 1942 more than 150,000 Italian soldiers deployed in the French free zone following the Allied invasion of North Africa. Many “unredeemed lands,” such as the County of Nice, Savoy, and Corsica, were occupied effortlessly by the Italian Army in just a few weeks. The irredentist movement hailed this occupation as the achievement of the Mare Nostrum, Italy’s full control of the Mediterranean Sea. However, what was in theory a political victory shortly became a strategic nightmare. This chapter examines the Italian occupation’s chaotic nature; its moderation and suspicion toward the French population; its ambiguous attitude toward the irredentists; and its ambivalent relationship with the Vichy regime. It shows that the first period of the military occupation established the triangular relationship between Italian military, French population, and Italian immigrants that would shape the Italian occupation of the French Riviera.

Abstract:
Jazz great Gerald Wilson (1918–2014), born in Shelby, Mississippi, left a global legacy of paramount significance through his progressive musical ideas and his orchestra's consistent influence on international jazz. Aided greatly by interviews that bring Wilson's voice to the story, this book presents a perspective on what the musician and composer called his “jazz pilgrimage.” Wilson uniquely adapted Latin influences into his jazz palette, incorporating many Cuban and Brazilian inflections as well as those of Mexican and Spanish styling. Throughout, the book refers to Wilson's compositions and arrangements, including their historical contexts and motivations. It provides savvy musical readings and analysis of the repertoire, and concludes by reflecting upon Wilson's ideas on the place of jazz culture in America, its place in society and politics, its origins, and its future. With a foreword written by Wilson's son, Anthony, and such sources as essays, record notes, interviews, and Wilson's own reflections, the biography represents the artist's ideas with all their philosophical, historical, and cultural dimensions. Beyond merely documenting Wilson's many awards and recognitions, this book ushers readers into the heart and soul of a jazz creator. Wilson emerges a unique and proud African American artist whose tunes became a mosaic of the world.

Abstract:
Renewed interest in Swiss history has sought to overcome the old stereotypes of peasant liberty and republican exceptionalism. The heroic age of the Confederation in the fifteenth century is now seen as a turning point as the Swiss polity achieved a measure of institutional consolidation and stability, and began to mark out clear frontiers. This book questions both assumptions. It argues that the administration of the common lordships by the cantons collectively gave rise to as much discord as cooperation, and remained a pragmatic device not a political principle. It argues that the Swiss War of 1499 was an avoidable catastrophe, from which developed a modus vivendi between the Swiss and the Empire as the Rhine became a buffer zone, not a boundary. It then investigates the background to Bern’s conquest of the Vaud in 1536, under the guise of relieving Geneva from beleaguerment, to suggest that Bern’s actions were driven not by predeterminate territorial expansion but by the need to halt French designs upon Geneva and Savoy. The geopolitical balance of the Confederation was fundamentally altered by Bern’s acquisition of the Vaud and adjacent lands. Nevertheless, the political fabric of the Confederation, which had been tested to the brink during the Reformation, proved itself flexible enough to absorb such a major reorientation, not least because what held the Confederation together was not so much institutions as a sense of common identity and mutual obligation forged during the Burgundian Wars of the 1470s.
