War and Social Welfare:
Reconstruction after Conflict
War and Social Welfare: Reconstruction after Conflict addresses
the issues of rebuilding social assistance and pension programs in
the wake of war. Arguing that post-conflict reconstruction missions
need to pay greater attention to comprehensive social policy
formation, the book makes normative and functional claims that
social welfare programs articulate the core aspects of citizenship.
War and Social Welfare looks closely at the design and
implementation of social policy at both the national and local
level. back to top |

Gentrification and Inequality in
Brooklyn: The New Kids on the Block
This book is a sociological analysis of the process of
gentrification in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The study focuses on the
ways in which working class residents and new gentrifiers are
socially segregated forming parallel cultures within the
neighborhood. The investigation arrives at urban theory, which
argues that through local dynamics, social inequality is
reproduced. back to

Philosophy Stewardship of
Creation
Many people have inaccurate ideas of what the Roman Catholic
Church teaches about how we are to treat the environment, and few
know how extensive the Church's teaching on the environment is. The
purpose of my book is to lay out the Church's environmental ethic,
showing how it is rooted in her theology of creation. The Church's
insistent teaching regarding our need to make lifestyle changes and
to practice the virtues in our treatment of the earth constitutes
one of the book's main themes. back to top |

Water Child
Becky and Elliot are idealistic and artistic 20-somethings who met
at an elite college and married shortly after graduation. She is
black and Christian; he is white and Jewish. Despite their
backgrounds, families and the social and political climate of the
1980s, they are convinced that their love, education and the baby
they are expecting are all they need to be happy. When tragedy
strikes, they must confront their vulnerability and come to
acknowledge that there are ways of knowing and lessons about life
that they still need to learn.

At the Bottom of Shakespeare's
Ocean We need a poetic history of the ocean, and Shakespeare can help
us find one. To fathom Shakespeare's ocean — “to go down to its
bottom” — this book's chapters focus on different things that
humans do with and in and near the sea: fathoming, keeping watch,
swimming, beachcombing, fishing and drowning. The book also puts
Shakespeare's sea-poetry in contact with modern literary seascapes,
including the vast Pacific of Moby-Dick, the rocky coast of Charles
Olson's Maximus Poems and the lyrical waters of the postcolonial
Caribbean.

Radical Poetics and Secular
Jewish Culture
“There is no other book that addresses the relation of radical
modernist and contemporary poetry and secular Jewish culture. And
it turns out that this topic is of great interest to a compelling
range of contemporary poets and scholars. The essays collected have
an energy and an engagement that make the book both elucidating and
a pleasure. The book focuses on American Judaism as a
culture.”—Charles Bernstein

Lay Piety and Religious
Discipline in Middle English Literature
In late-14th-century England, the persistent question of how to
live the best life preoccupied many pious Christians. One answer
was provided by a new genre of prose guides that adapted
professional religious rules and routines for lay audiences. This
study analyzes how the idea of religious discipline was translated
into varied literary forms in an atmosphere of religious change and
controversy. By considering the themes of spiritual discipline,
religious identity and orthodoxy in poets Langland and Chaucer, the
study also brings fresh perspectives to bear on Piers Plowman and
The Canterbury Tales.

The Garden and the Fire: Heaven and Hell in Islamic
Culture
Islamic conceptions of heaven and hell began in the seventh
century as an early doctrinal innovation, but by the 12th century,
these notions had evolved into a highly formalized ideal of
perfection. In tracking this transformation, Nerina Rustomji
reveals the distinct material culture and aesthetic vocabulary
Muslims developed to understand heaven and hell and identifies the
communities and strategies of defense that took shape around the
promise of a future world. By employing material culture as a
method of historical inquiry, Rustomji points to the reflections,
discussions and constructions that actively influenced Muslims'
picture of the afterworld, culminating in a distinct religious
aesthetic.

Worship in Spirit and Truth: The Life and Legacy of H.A.
Reinhold
H. A. Reinhold was a leader in the liturgical movement in
America. When Reinhold died in 1968 Godfrey Diekmann, a liturgical
giant in his own right, referred to him as a “liturgical prophet”
and urged others to follow in Reinhold's steps and “take up his
mantle in the thorny task” of pastorally implementing the
liturgical changes brought about by the Second Vatican Council.
Over 40 years later, that task remains every bit the challenge it
was in Reinhold's day. As cries for social justice resound, liturgy
more than ever must be the tie of relevance that binds the church
to the world. It is this essential link between liturgy and social
justice that Worship in Spirit and Truth retrieves in tracing
Reinhold's life and legacy. back to top |

Breadwinners: Working Women & Economic Independence,
1865-1920
From the end of the Civil War through the winning of suffrage,
working women in the nation's industrializing cities launched a
series of campaigns to gain economic independence and political
rights. This book uncovers the stories of the visionary women who
laid the groundwork for contemporary feminism. More than a century
ago, these working women demanded equal pay for equal work and full
rights of citizenship, proudly identifying themselves as
“breadwinners” capable of supporting themselves and their
families.
