The Unseen Politics of Public Housing
Authors: Chenault Tiffany Gayle
Published: February 2025

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) emphasizes the word “community” for building economic development, citizen participations, and revitalization of facilities and services in urban and rural areas. Resident Councils are one way to develop and build community among residents of public housing. Despite HUD stressing community building in public housing and investing money and policies around it, there are some resident councils that are not fulfilling the expectations of HUD.

This book is my attempt to describe and explain HUD’s expectations for the resident council as an active agent for community building and the actual practices of the resident council. I argue that policies and regulations of resident councils which exist to support the effectiveness of the resident council in creating and implementing community-building, self-sufficiency, and empowerment activities and goals in a public housing community may do more harm than good.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development invests and spends billions on Public Housing Programs (6.6 billion in 2013). The majority of the 1.2 million people who live in public housing do not live in large urban areas with thousands of people confined to a certain space. The majority of public housing units (90%) have fewer than 500 units. These smaller units and the people that live in them tend to go unnoticed.

This ethnographic case study focuses on explaining and understanding the factors and constraints that exist between HUD's expectations for the resident council as an active agent for community building and the actual practices of the resident council. To explain the disjunction—in fact, to determine if such disjunctions identified by Rivertown council members are real. Using the tenets of Critical Race Theory allows us to understand what forces—either real or imagined, structural or cultural—prevent the resident council from being an effective agent for change in the public housing community.
A Nation Can Rise No Higher Than Its Women
Authors: Jeffries Bayyinah S.
Published: February 2025

A Nation Can Rise No Higher Than Its Women: African American Muslim Women in the Movement for Black Self Determination, 1950–1975 challenges traditional notions and interpretations of African American, particularly women who joined the Original Nation of Islam during the Civil Rights-Black Power era. This book is the first major investigation of the subject that engages a wide scope of women from “The Nation” and utilizes a wealth of primary documents and personal interviews to reveal the importance of women in this community. Jeffries reveals that women were respected in the movement and maintained a very clear and often sought after voice in the advancement of the Original Nation of Islam.

A Nation Can Rise No Higher Than Its Women replaces the typical portrait of the subservient and irrelevant African American Muslim woman with a far more accurate picture of their integral leadership and substantial contributions to the rise of Islam and black consciousness in the self-determination movement in the United States and beyond during the Civil Rights-Black Power era.
Suppressed Terror
Authors: Greiner Bettina
Published: February 2025

At the end of World War II, the Soviet secret police installed ten special camps in the Soviet occupation zone, later to become the German Democratic Republik. Between 1945 and 1950, roughly 154,000 Germans were held incommunicado in these camps. Whether those accused of being Nazis, spies, or terrorists were indeed guilty as charged, they were indiscriminately imprisoned as security threats and denied due process of the law. One third of the captives did not survive. To this day, most Germans have no knowledge of this postwar Stalinist persecution, even though it exemplifies in a unique way the entangled history of Germans as perpetrators and victims.

How can one write the history of victims in a “society of perpetrators?” This is only one of the questions Displaced Terror: History and Perception of Soviet Special Camps in Germany raises in exploring issues in memory culture in contemporary Germany. The study begins with a detailed description of the camp system against the backdrop of Stalinist security policies in a territory undergoing a transition from war zone to occupation zone to Cold War hot spot. The interpretation of the camps as an instrument of pacification rather than of denacification does not ignore the fact that, while actual perpetrators were a minority, the majority of the special camp inmates had at least been supporters of Nazi rule and were now imprisoned under life-threatening conditions together with victims and opponents of the defeated regime. Based on their detention memoirs, the second part of the book offers a closer look at life and death in the camps, focusing on the prisoners' self-organization and the frictions within these coerced communities. The memoirs also play an important role in the third and last part of the study. Read as attempts to establish public acknowledgment of violence suffered by Germans, they mirror German memory culture since the end of World War II.
The Mediation of Poverty
Authors: Redden Joanna
Published: February 2025

The Mediation of Poverty: The News, New Media and Politics discusses the influence of the increasing use of digital technologies on media and political responses to poverty in the United Kingdom and Canada. Poverty politics are considered at symbolic and structural levels. Through a frame analysis of mainstream and alternative news content, the book identifies which narratives dominate poverty coverage, what is missing from mainstream news coverage, and what can be learned by looking at alternative sources of news and information. The Mediation of Poverty argues that news coverage privileges and embeds neoliberal approaches to the issue of poverty in Canada and the United Kingdom. Interviews with journalists, politicians, researchers, and activists enable discussion, on a micro level, of the changing nature of news, politics, and activism, and how these changes are influencing poverty politics. The book raises concerns about how the speed of digitally-mediated working environments is reshaping—even foreclosing—opportunities for communication, reflection, and contestation in a way that reinforces the dominance of market-based thinking, and limits political responses to poverty.
The Times-Picayune in a Changing Media World
Authors: Alexander S. L. , Durham Frank D. , Lorenz Alfred Lawrence , Mayer Vicki
Published: February 2025

In 2012–2013, one of the largest U.S. newspaper chains, Advance Publications, determined its main product was no longer newspapers but news, and switched from daily print publication of The Times-Picayune of New Orleans to three days a week, while upgrading its presence online (“Digital First”). More than two hundred employees, including half the newsroom, were laid off in one of the poorest U.S. cities with among the lowest literacy rates and percentages of households with Internet access. The decision raised a furor in New Orleans. Beginning with an historical overview of The Times-Picayune, from its 1837 founding through the present, The Times-Picayune in a Changing Media World: The Transformation of an American Newspaper describes the crucial role the dailies played in the 1960 school desegregation crisis, as well as the impact of the switch on print coverage of hard news in the context of media developments, and provides a detailed analysis of specific print editions of The Times-Picayune and its digital formats conducted before and after the switch. This study of the evolution of The Times-Picayune is instructive for all concerned with what the transformation might portend for the news profession and for the traditional role of the press in the digital age.
Isabelle Eberhardt and North Africa
Authors: Chouiten Lynda
Published: February 2025

As a woman who traversed the North African Orient in male costume, who spoke Arabic as well as French, and who professed Islam while transgressing many of its instructions, Isabelle Eberhardt seems to fit within Mikhail Bakhtin’s definition of the carnivalesque as the impulse to blend that which is usually kept separate by artificial boundaries and hierarchies. Nevertheless, this study demonstrates that her evolution in the Maghreb is carnivalesque only in appearance.

Despite her transvestism, the writer left unquestioned the traditional definitions of masculinity and femininity; it is her subscription to the patriarchal equation of maleness with power and womanhood with weakness which makes her borrow a masculine identity. In a similar way, her appropriation of several elements of Oriental culture does not prevent her from reproducing age-old Orientalist stereotypes. As portrayed in her texts, the natives are either aestheticized as picturesque figures from a bygone age or denigrated as uncivilized, dark-minded creatures. And because Orientalism, as Edward Said has famously argued, is but a textual manifestation of colonialism, Eberhardt’s Orientalist texts make her the accomplice of the colonialist project, a project which she also served by acting as a mediator between General Lyautey and native tribes. In discussing Eberhardt’s involvement in the colonial mission and her perpetuation of the patriarchal and Orientalist traditions, this study questions the image of rebel-figure that is usually assigned to her. Instead, it shows the writer’s literary and political gestures to be embedded in a marked quest for empowerment through the double (literary and political) conquest of the Orient.
American Political and Cultural Perspectives on Japan
Authors: Miller John H.
Published: February 2025

American Political and Cultural Perspectives on Japan: From Perry to Obama is an historical survey of how Americans have viewed Japan during the past 160 years. It encompasses the diplomatic, political, economic, social, and cultural dimensions of the relationship, with an emphasis on changing American images, myths, and stereotypes of Japan and the Japanese. It begins with the American “opening” of Japan in the 1850s and 1860s. Subsequent chapters explore American attitudes toward Japan during the Gilded Age, the early 1900s, the 1920s, the 1930s, and the Pacific War. The second part of the book, organized round the theme of the postwar Japanese-American partnership, covers the Occupation, the 1960s, the troubled 1970s and1980s, and the post-Cold War decades down to the Obama presidency. The conclusion offers some predictions about how Americans are likely to view Japan in the future.
Pigs and Persons in the Philippines
Authors: Remme Jon Henrik Ziegler
Published: February 2025

The Ifugao of Northern Luzon, the Philippines, are famous for their extensive system of irrigated rice terraces, and previous anthropological accounts of the Ifugao have stressed their immense importance for social life. This book attempts to "go against the grain" and approach Ifugao society through an often overlooked element, namely their pigs. By a detailed ethnographic description of Ifugao cultural practices related to kinship, animism, prestige, and death, Pigs and Persons in the Philippines shows how pigs are involved in the constitution and re-constitution of relations between humans and between humans and spirits.

Remme draws upon theories of relationality, performativity, and assemblages to argue that the exchange and consumption of pig meat have the ontological effect of enacting persons. He also shows how pigs are the prime means of engaging in relations with spirits and argues further that prestige can be understood as a heterogeneous assemblage of relations of which pigs play a central role. While pigs are thus constitutively involved in the enactment of persons, Remme also shows how they are operative in the re-constitution of relations that occurs at death.

In documenting these practices, Remme argues for a relational understanding of personhood that goes beyond inter-human relations and includes relations with nonhuman beings, including spirits, and animals.
Concepts of Cabralism
Authors: Rabaka Reiland
Published: February 2025

By examining Amilcar Cabral’s theories and praxes, as well as several of the antecedents and major influences on the evolution of his radical politics and critical social theory, Concepts of Cabralism:Amilcar Cabral and Africana Critical Theory simultaneously reintroduces, chronicles, and analyzes several of the core characteristics of the Africana tradition of critical theory. Reiland Rabaka’s primary preoccupation is with Cabral’s theoretical and political legacies—that is to say, with the ways in which he constructed, deconstructed, and reconstructed theory and the aims, objectives, and concrete outcomes of his theoretical applications and discursive practices. The book begins with the Negritude Movement, and specifically the work of Léopold Senghor, Aimé Césaire, and Jean-Paul Sartre. Next, it shifts the focus to Frantz Fanon’s discourse on radical disalienation and revolutionary decolonization. Finally, it offers an extended engagement of Cabral’s critical theory and contributions to the Africana tradition of critical theory. Ultimately, Concepts of Cabralism chronicles and critiques, revisits and revises the black radical tradition with an eye toward the ways in which classical black radicalism informs, or should inform, not only contemporary black radicalism, African nationalism, and Pan-Africanism, but also contemporary efforts to create a new anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-capitalist, anti-colonialist, and anti-imperialist critical theory of contemporary society—what has come to be called “Africana critical theory.”
Protestant Missionaries in Spain, 1869-1936
Authors: Eaton Kent
Published: February 2025

Protestant Missionaries in Spain, 1869–1936: “Shall the Papists Prevail?” examines the history of the Protestant denominations, especially the Plymouth Brethren, throughout Europe that attempted to bring their churches to Spain just prior to Spain’s First Republic (1873–1874) when religious liberty briefly existed. Protestant groups labored feverishly, establishing churches and schools designed to gain converts and thereby prove the supremacy of their theology in Spain as the foremost Roman Catholic country. Religious liberty was reintroduced in the 1930s during the Second Republic, but failed when General Francisco Franco won the Spanish Civil War and unified the culturally and linguistically diverse nation through the doctrine of religious uniformity.

Equally important is the question of why the Roman Catholic Church felt compelled to expel them from Spain. After the First Vatican Council (1869–1870), Spain became the battlefield between Protestants and Catholics, each vying to demonstrate their preeminence. Using primary sources from Spain and the UK, this book recreates the story of these missionaries’ struggles and examines their motivations for making significant sacrifices.
Explorations in Ecocriticism
Authors: Lindholdt Paul
Published: February 2025

A chief innovation of Explorations in Ecocriticism is to push ecological criticism beyond its focus on literary studies to engage with other arts and culture. One chapter closely examines the pictures commissioned by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to valorize its big dam projects. Previously, no one has written about the large art collection that toured the nation under the auspices of the Smithsonian in the early 1970s, when the Bureau of Reclamation was under fire and new environmental regulations were becoming law. Another chapter, “An Iconography of Sabotage,” previously published in France as part of a Paris symposium, looks at the pictorial dimension of saboteurs throughout American history, with a special emphasis on the IWW and Earth First! The book draws extensively on the social sciences. Ecology and environment are treated too often as technical topics that go over the heads of lay readers. Many Americans care about air and water quality, the extinction of species, and the unfortunate politicization of science. But they also find the discourse daunting, the details exceedingly complex. By leavening such heavy subjects with current events, Explorations in Ecocriticism makes environmental issues accessible to lay readers and offers routes to sustainability in the United States today.
Historical Dictionary of Kenya
Authors: Maxon Robert M. , Ofcansky Thomas P.
Published: February 2025

Kenya has a long and complex history that began thousands of years ago. Indeed, some archaeologists contend that the country was the "cradle of mankind" or, at the very least, one of the places that was home to the earliest hominids. In later centuries, Kenya's strategic location astride the Indian Ocean and the East African littoral attracted numerous foreign peoples, some of the most significant of which have been the Americans, Arabs, British, Chinese, French, Germans, and Portuguese. Additionally, Africans from throughout the subcontinent have settled in Kenya to escape conflict or political persecution, while others wanted an opportunity to begin a new life. As a result of being a gateway to the world, the country traditionally has been one of the most important business, cultural, diplomatic, and political centers in Africa. Although it has maintained this reputation during the post-independence period, Kenya, like most African countries, has been plagued by an increasing array of complex economic, political, and social problems.

This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Kenya provides a starting point for those interested in any of the phases of Kenya's historical evolution. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Kenya.

Published: February 2025

Biogas is a potential renewable energy source to meet energy needs, especially in remote areas that do not have access to electricity. The process of making biogas is carried out through anaerobic fermentation of organic materials such as vegetable waste, livestock manure and agricultural waste. This research aims to design a batch type biodigester that can produce biogas from a mixture of goat manure, chicken manure and vegetable waste. Biodigester is a reactor used to produce biogas. The stirred biodigester aims to mix the substrate evenly in the biodigester and prevent the formation of scum. The biodigester designed has a capacity of 120 liters with a stirring system to increase the efficiency of biogas production. The fermentation process was carried out for 21 days by monitoring parameters such as temperature, pH, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and methane gas concentration (CH4). The results showed that the temperature and pH in the biodigester remained in optimal conditions for the activity of methanogenic microorganisms. The highest CH4 concentration measurement was recorded on day 20 at 60%, which indicates good biogas quality. In addition, the flame test on day 21 produced a blue flame, indicating a high CH4 content. The decrease in CH4 concentration at the end of the study was caused by the exhaustion of organic material. This research contributes to the development of efficient and environmentally friendly biodigester technology to produce biogas as a renewable energy source.
Střet Karla Havlíčka s Josefem Kajetánem Tylem o Posledního Čecha jako spor o českou veřejnost
Authors: Dobiáš Dalibor
Published: February 2025

The paper analyses the critique of Josef Kajetán Tyl's novel Poslední Čech (The Last Czech, 1844), which was published in 1845 by the emerging critic Karel Havlíček. The critical attack was not exclusively motivated personally, more importantly it was an attempt to become more visible and break with the older, sentimental patriotism of Czech literary canon. The paper argues that it is also representative of the Central European transformation of the public sphere (Öffentlichkeit). The paper shows that in the cultural nationalism of the time literary criticism fulfilled increasingly important mediating role between the growing national capital of art and other European centres of artistic innovation (Pascale Casanova). Havlíček's critical performance is viewed as a part of a broader effort to dominate the field of criticism, of which Tyl was a prominent protagonist, and make it an independent bourgeois institution. Therefore, the contexts of the conflict are not only sought for in Czech-language journals, but also in German-language media. This is facilitated by the relatively wide acclaim that Tyl's Poslední Čech received before and after Havlíček (Ost und West, Oesterreichische Blätter für Literatur und Kunst, Die Grenzboten etc.).
Tematizace lidských životních světů perspektivou dětí a dospělých, aneb, O receptivním potenciálu próz Petry Soukupové
Authors: Urbanová Svatava
Published: February 2025

The contemporary Czech writer Petra Soukupová freely moves between at least two areas: she writes for both chidren and adults and also works as a film screenwriter and dramaturge. Since her first prosaic texts up until today she has focused on different ways of communication within the family and among peers. This narrative prism manifests itself in varying narrative angles and perspectives of different protagonists being presented and experienced in diverse situations and through speech. Interpersonal relations are presented both through the perspective of the child and the adult. The real word is consequently depicted as a whole through its detabuization and the narratives usually employ an open ending.
Dvě středověké ostruhy z Obecnice (okr. Příbram)
Authors: Krofta Tomáš
Published: February 2025

Ve sbírkách příbramského muzea (střední Čechy) jsou uloženy dvě ostruhy z místa, kde se od 16. století připomíná důl na těžbu stříbrné rudy. Dle analogií lze jednu ostruhu datovat do 2. poloviny 13. století až 1. poloviny 14. století, druhou pak do 15. století. V prvním případě se jedná o běžný typ, pro druhou ostruhu se přesnou analogii najít nepodařilo. Na základě sídelně-historického rozboru diskutujeme hypotézu, že ostruhy mohou souviset s těžbou stříbra v těchto místech již ve středověkém období.

V muzejních sbírkách a zámeckých zbrojnicích se dochovalo poměrně velké množství luxusních kostí vykládaných palných zbraní z 16. až 17. století. V archeologickém kontextu se s jejich doklady setkáváme pouze zřídka. Při archeologickém výzkumu sklepů dvou domů zaniklých za třicetileté války v Chrudimi v Hradební ulici byly objeveny zbytky kostěného obložení předpažbí ruční palné zbraně.

This study aims to analyze the cash flow of companies and its impact on financial performance. Cash flow is a vital component of financial statements that reflects the liquidity, solvency, and profitability of a business. Using a qualitative approach, the study examines how cash flows from operational, investment, and financing activities contribute to the financial performance of companies. The study was conducted on manufacturing companies with varying cash flow patterns over the past five years. Additionally, it explores internal and external factors influencing cash flow patterns, such as cash management strategies and macroeconomic conditions.
Primary data for this research was gathered through in-depth interviews with financial managers, while secondary data was sourced from audited financial reports. The data analysis employed a triangulation approach to ensure accuracy and reliability of the findings. The study reveals that companies with positive operational cash flows are better equipped to maintain liquidity and withstand financial crises. Conversely, negative investment cash flows often indicate a focus on long-term asset development, albeit at the expense of short-term liquidity reserves.
Financing cash flows also emerged as a critical component, particularly concerning the company’s capital structure. The study found that firms relying heavily on debt as their primary financing source are more susceptible to solvency risks. On the other hand, companies with a balanced financing strategy between debt and equity exhibited more stable financial performance. Hence, effective cash flow management is identified as a key driver of business sustainability.
This research provides significant contributions to the financial management literature, particularly in understanding the relationship between cash flow and financial performance. The findings are expected to assist financial managers in designing more effective cash management strategies. Moreover, the study offers insights for investors to assess the financial health of companies before making investment decisions.
However, the study acknowledges certain limitations, including its focus on a specific manufacturing sector, which may limit the generalizability of the results to other industries. Further research is recommended to explore the relationship between cash flow and financial performance across different industrial sectors. Additionally, future studies could adopt more comprehensive methodologies, such as quantitative analysis, to examine causal relationships among the studied variables.
Overall, the research underscores the importance of effective cash flow management in enhancing a company’s financial performance. By understanding cash flow dynamics, companies can improve their competitiveness and navigate economic challenges more effectively. Therefore, this study has practical implications for financial managers, investors, and other stakeholders.
