Landscapes of Hope: Anti-Colonial Utopianism in America
traces the utopian elements in anti-colonial discourse of the early
20th century. During this understudied but critical period, the
intellectuals of the colonized world carried out the heady work of
imagining independent states, often from a position of exile. Faced
with that daunting task, many of them composed literary texts —
novels, poems, contemplative essays — in order to conceptualize the
new societies they sought. |

Sociology/Anthropology Exploring Unequal Achievement in
the Schools: The Social Construction of Failure
2009
This book explores the role played by families and schools in
underachievement. It employs a social constructionist approach in
considering how ascribed characteristics (race, gender, class)
intersect with the daily interactions of students in classrooms and
with the educational practices and structures within schools
(tracking, testing and teacher expectations) to play an exacting
role in the construction of academic success or failure. |

Red Prometheus: Engineering and
Dictatorship in East Germany, 1945-1990
2008
In Cold War-era East Germany, the German tradition of
science-based technology merged with a socialist system that made
technological progress central to its ideology. Technology became
an important part of East German socialist identity — crucial to
how Communists saw their system and how citizens saw their state.
Drawing on newly opened archives and extensive interviews,
including illustrations and photographs that have never been
published, Augustine looks at individual scientists’ interactions
with the East German system, examining the effectiveness of their
resistance against the party’s totalitarian impulses. |
