Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization Unexpected Dialogues on Intolerance

Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization Unexpected Dialogues on Intolerance

Does democracy require an agreement on specific foundational values? Bringing insights from Turkey to the study of democratization this book argues that democracy may rather be about acknowledging the disagreement over values before negotiating over other concerns such as rights freedoms capabilities and duties. It explores this idea by examining three landscapes of culture in Turkey which have been the subjects of persistent stories regarding the unequal relationship between the self and the other. These include LGBT visibility and the entertainment sector women and clothing and Alevism and funerals. Through these case studies the book analyses the remaking of (in)tolerance through the integration of LGBT representations into broader political struggles over values the assertion of women’s rights and freedoms from traditional values surrounding dress and the conflict between essentialist intolerance and the syncretic traditions of Alevi identity. Bringing these landscapes together with the surrounding cultural tensions in Turkey and the West Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Middle Eastern studies and politics gender studies and cultural studies. | Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization Unexpected Dialogues on Intolerance

Communism Conformity and Liberties

Communism Conformity and Liberties

If there is a-desert island book in the conduct of social research it is arguably this book. Whether in terms of sociological structures or psychological nuances Communism Conformity and Civil Liberties originally published in 1955 is a recognized landmark. Stouffer helped strengthen the fundamental liberties of all Americans by showing dangerous consequences of efforts to thwart a perceived Communist conspiracy including some of the very real liberties that can be destroyed in the process of a witch-hunt. Stouffer explores attitudes of Americans against a backdrop of a history of intolerance that dates back to the Know-Nothing party before the Civil War and extending through the Ku Klux Klan after World War I. The overall results show a markedly strong relationship between perception of high national risk and personal intolerance of differences and also the perception of threat and tolerance that operates as a predisposing tendency that affects judgments about specific political movements and events. Stouffer enriches the sense and meaning of survey research by emphasizing patterns of percentages rather than actual amounts; survey craftsmanship; the use of paired sampling techniques to reduce problems of chance; the importance of completion rates in survey research work; the importance of interruptions during a questioning period; the choice of field workers in performing the surveys. The actual survey instruments are included as prepared by the National Opinion Research Center and the Gallup Organization. They remain a model for large-scale samples of this kind. The beautiful highly personal introduction by James Davis places Stouffer in an appropriate academic and professional context. Stouffer was a great sociologist with two landmark efforts to his credit: The American Soldier and then Communism Conformity and Civil Liberties. Professor Davis calls this a great classic of empirical sociology. It is indeed that: a model of craftsmanship exemplary argumentation and presentation of data still unsurpassed. The book is not part of ancient history but of living democratic culture. | Communism Conformity and Liberties

Edwin and John A Personal History of the American South

Edwin and John A Personal History of the American South

In Edwin and John: A Personal History of the American South award-winning author James T. Sears interweaves diaries letters and poems to craft an innovative first-person narrative history that details the hard realities of growing up gay in the South during the early decades of the 20th century. Set against the backdrop of World War II and the post-war South Edwin and John provides a unique and intimate approach to queer history by following the 50 year relationship between John Zeigler and Edwin Peacocke that carried them both from their roots in the conservative South through service in World War II and into a placid and loving literary life where they opened a bookshop in what was then the small town of Charleston South Carolina. Edwin and John is a revealing look at queer history detailing how these two men and their remarkable circle of close friends-which included some of the greatest writers and artists of their era including Prentiss Taylor Carson McCullers and John Bennett-endured war intolerance and jealousies while living proud and public lives in far more conservative times. | Edwin and John A Personal History of the American South

The Irish in Eighteenth-Century Bordeaux Contexts Relations and Commodities

The Irish in Eighteenth-Century Bordeaux Contexts Relations and Commodities

The Irish in Eighteenth-Century Bordeaux is a collection of ten essays by internationally known scholars of Irish British French and Atlantic History that covers the entire period in which there was a substantial Irish colony in Bordeaux (1689–1815). Among the topics discussed are the growth and decline of the community and the reasons for both the daily lives and assimilation of the Irish in Bordeaux the numerous activities and institutions in which the Irish were involved and the patterns of trade and the major commodities that were traded. This volume argues that the Irish community in Bordeaux was a product of contingent factors including religious bigotry and war but mostly because of commercial and educational opportunities that were not available in Ireland itself. This confessionally mixed Irish community made remarkable contributions to Atlantic European and global production consumption and trade especially in Bordeaux wine. The book will enlarge complicate and challenge our understanding of the eighteenth-century European and Atlantic worlds. Students and scholars who are interested in early modern immigrant and trading communities the impact of religious tolerance and intolerance the development of international trade networks and the production and meaning of commodities will find it invaluable. | The Irish in Eighteenth-Century Bordeaux Contexts Relations and Commodities
