\"\"SOCIAL MOVEMENT STUDIES IN EUROPE<\/a>
\nThe State of the Art
\nEdited by Olivier Fillieule and Guya Accornero
\nForeword by James Jasper<\/p>\n

Volume 16, Protest, Culture & Society<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bringing together over forty established and emerging scholars, this landmark volume is the first to comprehensively examine the evolution and current practice of social movement studies in a specifically European context. While its first half offers comparative approaches to an array of significant issues and movements, its second half assembles focused national studies that include most major European states. Throughout, these contributions are guided by a shared set of historical and social-scientific questions with a particular emphasis on political sociology, thus offering a bold and uncommonly unified survey that will be essential for scholars and students of European social movements.<\/p>\n

\"\"PARLIAMENT AND PARLIAMENTARISM<\/a>
\nA Comparative History of a European Concept
\nEdited by Pasi Ihalainen, Cornelia Ilie, and Kari Palonen<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Parliamentary theory, practices, discourses, and institutions constitute a distinctively European contribution to modern politics. Taking a broad historical perspective, this cross-disciplinary, innovative, and rigorous collection locates the essence of parliamentarism in four key aspects\u2014deliberation, representation, responsibility, and sovereignty\u2014and explores the different ways in which they have been contested, reshaped, and implemented in a series of representative national and regional case studies. As one of the first comparative studies in conceptual history, this volume focuses on debates about the nature of parliament and parliamentarism within and across different European countries, representative institutions, and genres of political discourse.<\/p>\n

\"\"EUROPEAN PRODUCTS<\/a>
\nMaking and Unmaking Heritage in Cyprus
\nGisela Welz<\/p>\n

WINNER OF THE 2016 PROSE AWARD FOR ANTHROPOLOGY<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, rural villages, traditional artefacts, even atmospheres and experiences are considered heritage. Heritage making not only protects, but also produces, things, people, and places. Since the Republic of Cyprus joined the European Union in 2004, heritage making and Europeanization are increasingly intertwined in Greek-Cypriot society. Against the backdrop of a long-term ethnographic engagement, the author argues that heritage emerges as an increasingly standardized economic resource, a \u201cEuropean product.\u201d Implemented in historic preservation, rural tourism, culinary traditions, nature protection, and urban restoration projects, heritage policy has become infused with transnational market regulations and neoliberal property regimes.<\/p>\n

\"\"THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF BORDER DRAWING<\/a>
\nArranging Legality in European Labor Migration Policies
\nRegine Paul<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The conditions for non-EU migrant workers to gain legal entry to Britain, France, and Germany are at the same time similar and quite different. To explain this variation this book compares the fine-grained legal categories for migrant workers in each country, and examines the interaction of economic, social, and cultural rationales in determining migrant legality. Rather than investigating the failure of borders to keep unauthorized migrants out, the author highlights the different policies of each country as \u201cborder-drawing\u201d actions. Policymakers draw lines between different migrant groups, and between migrants and citizens, through considerations of both their economic utility and skills, but also their places of origin and prospects for social integration. Overall, migrant worker legality is arranged against the backdrop of the specific vision each country has of itself in an economically competitive, globalized world with rapidly changing welfare and citizenship models.<\/p>\n

\"\"ENDURING UNCERTAINTY<\/a>
\nDeportation, Punishment and Everyday Life
\nInes Hasselberg<\/p>\n

Volume 17, Dislocations<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Focusing on the lived experience of immigration policy and processes, this volume provides fascinating insights into the deportation process as it is felt and understood by those subjected to it. The author presents a rich and innovative ethnography of deportation and deportability experienced by migrants convicted of criminal offenses in England and Wales. The unique perspectives developed here \u2013 on due process in immigration appeals, migrant surveillance and control, social relations and sense of self, and compliance and resistance \u2013 are important for broader understandings of border control policy and human rights.<\/p>\n

\nCultural Legacies of Europe at War, 1936-2016
\nEdited by Manuel Bragan\u00e7a and Peter Tame
\nForeword by Richard Overy
\nAfterword by Jay Winter<\/p>\n

Volume 17, Contemporary European History<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In its totality, the \u201cLong Second World War\u201d\u2014extending from the beginning of the Spanish Civil War to the end of hostilities in 1945\u2014has exerted enormous influence over European culture. Bringing together leading historians, sociologists, and literary and film scholars, this broadly interdisciplinary volume investigates Europeans\u2019 individual and collective memories and the ways in which they have shaped the continent\u2019s cultural heritage. Focusing on the major combatant nations\u2014Spain, Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Poland, and Russia\u2014it offers thoroughly contextualized explorations of novels, memoirs, films, and a host of other cultural forms to illuminate European public memory.<\/p>\n

\"\"RESCUING THE VULNERABLE<\/a>
\nPoverty, Welfare and Social Ties in Modern Europe
\nEdited by Beate Althammer, Lutz Raphael, and Tamara Stazic-Wendt<\/p>\n

Volume 27, International Studies in Social History<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In many ways, the European welfare state constituted a response to the new forms of social fracture and economic turbulence that were born out of industrialization\u2014challenges that were particularly acute for groups whose integration into society seemed the most tenuous. Covering a range of national cases, this volume explores the relationship of weak social ties to poverty and how ideas about this relationship informed welfare policies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By focusing on three representative populations\u2014neglected children, the homeless, and the unemployed\u2014it provides a rich, comparative consideration of the shifting perceptions, representations, and lived experiences of social vulnerability in modern Europe.<\/p>\n

\"\"THE REVOLUTION BEFORE THE REVOLUTION<\/a>
\nLate Authoritarianism and Student Protest in Portugal
\nGuya Accornero<\/p>\n

Volume 18, Protest, Culture & Society<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Histories of Portugal\u2019s transition to democracy have long focused on the 1974 military coup that toppled the authoritarian Estado Novo regime and set in motion the divestment of the nation\u2019s colonial holdings. However, the events of this \u201cCarnation Revolution\u201d were in many ways the culmination of a much longer process of resistance and protest originating in universities and other sectors of society. Combining careful research in police, government, and student archives with insights from social movement theory, The Revolution before the Revolution broadens our understanding of Portuguese democratization by tracing the societal convulsions that preceded it over the course of the \u201clong 1960s.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"MIGRATION BY BOAT<\/a>
\nDiscourses of Trauma, Exclusion and Survival
\nEdited by Lynda Mannik<\/p>\n

Volume 35, Forced Migration<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At a time when thousands of refugees risk their lives undertaking perilous journeys by boat across the Mediterranean, this multidisciplinary volume could not be more pertinent. It offers various contemporary case studies of boat migrations undertaken by asylum seekers and refugees around the globe and shows that boats not only move people and cultural capital between places, but also fuel cultural fantasies, dreams of adventure and hope, along with fears of invasion and terrorism. The ambiguous nature of memories, media representations and popular culture productions are highlighted throughout in order to address negative stereotypes and conversely, humanize the individuals involved.<\/p>\n

\"\"BORDER ENCOUNTERS<\/a>
\nAsymmetry and Proximity at Europe’s Frontiers
\nEdited by Jutta Lauth Bacas and William Kavanagh\u2020<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAs befits anthropology, Border Encounters is rich in empirical detail. However, it is also an excellent introduction to border theory, with a helpful literature review. The theoretical framework clearly set out in the Introduction and the individual chapters do collectively illustrate why borders should be seen as constructs and as sites of asymmetrical social relationships\u2026All in all, this is an intriguing and well-structured volume which will be of interest to students and scholars from a variety of academic disciplines.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 LSE Review of Books<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"MIGRATION, SETTLEMENT AND BELONGING IN EUROPE, 1500-1930S<\/a>
\nComparative Perspectives
\nEdited by Steven King and Anne Winter<\/p>\n

Volume 23, International Studies in Social History<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026a valuable and engaging contribution to historical debates about labor, poverty, relief, and belonging\u2026[The papers] are written by leaders in their fields\u2026and pulled together [by the editors] in an elegant and convincing treatment of the case for such a geographical spread.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Alannah Tomkins<\/strong>, University of Keele<\/p>\n

The issues around settlement, belonging, and poor relief have for too long been understood largely from the perspective of England and Wales. This volume offers a pan-European survey that encompasses Switzerland, Prussia, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Britain. It explores how the conception of belonging changed over time and space from the 1500s onwards, how communities dealt with the welfare expectations of an increasingly mobile population that migrated both within and between states, the welfare rights that were attached to those who \u201cbelonged,\u201d and how ordinary people secured access to welfare resources.<\/p>\n

\"\"CHILDREN OF THE DICTATORSHIP<\/a>
\nStudent Resistance, Cultural Politics and the ‘Long 1960s’ in Greece
\nKostis Kornetis<\/p>\n

Volume 10, Protest, Culture & Society<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Winner of the 2015 Keeley Book Prize of the Modern Greek Studies Association<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis long-anticipated\u2026 publication signals the beginning of a potentially fruitful and certainly long overdue examination of the 1960s and 1970s in Greece. After so many years of discussions and debates on the Greek Civil War, the time for a careful consideration of the junta and its afterlife seems to have finally come. Kornetis offers an enormously productive entry point by exploring the issue that is analytically most central and socially most sensitive concerning this period: resistance and its counterpart, complicity. For anyone with an interest in the period or in the broad range of theoretical issues raised by its study, Children of the Dictatorship is an indispensible book that is sure to anchor future discussion and debate of the military regime.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Journal of Modern Greek Studies<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"DYNAMICS OF MEMORY AND IDENTITY IN CONTEMPORARY EUROPE<\/a>
\nEdited by Eric Langenbacher, Bill Niven, and Ruth Wittlinger<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOverall this is an interesting collection with a number of thought-provoking essays. Notably, several of the chapters bring new (social science) methodologies to the interdisciplinary field of memory studies. It is also a strength of the volume that, while the focus is clearly on memories of World War II and the Holocaust, it incorporates consideration of a range of pasts that continue to have a significant impact on the way Europeans understand themselves and others. The comparative perspective proves particularly fruitful in raising new questions regarding different kinds of remembrance at both the national and the European level.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 European Legacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Anthropological Journal of European Cultures<\/a><\/p>\n

Previously published as Anthropological Yearbook of European Cultures<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Published since 1990, Anthropological Journal of European Cultures<\/em> (AJEC)\u00a0engages with current debates and innovative research agendas addressing the social and cultural transformations of contemporary European societies. The journal serves as an important forum for ethnographic research in and on Europe, which in this context is not defined narrowly as a geopolitical entity but rather as a meaningful cultural construction in people’s lives, which both legitimates political power and calls forth practices of resistance and subversion. By presenting both new field studies and theoretical reflections on the history and politics of studying culture in Europe anthropologically, AJEC encompasses different academic traditions of engaging with its subject, from social and cultural anthropology to European ethnology and empirische Kulturwissenschaften<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aspasia<\/em> is the international peer-reviewed annual of women\u2019s and gender history of Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe (CESEE).

Aspasia particularly emphasizes research that examines the ways in which gender intersects with other categories of social organization and advances work that explores transnational aspects of women\u2019s and gender histories within, to, and from CESEE. The journal also provides an important outlet for the publication of articles by scholars working in CESEE itself. Its contributions cover a rich variety of topics and historical eras, as well as a wide range of methodologies and approaches to the history of women and gender.<\/p>\n
