Why Berlin? Why Klezmer?
Authors: Alexander Phil 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This book begins with an invocation of the sounds and significations that make up the complex of meanings of klezmer music in Berlin, as seen through a new jam session that began in the city in 2013. It underlines the importance of locating the music both historically and in its contemporary urban context—giving a brief but important sense of the past and present geographies of klezmer music, and also signaling exactly where and how the debate has significantly moved on from the anxieties of “virtual Judaism” and cultural appropriation. The chapter lays out the author’s methodology, as well as signposting certain theoretical frameworks that structure the narrative: the urban spatial critique of Lefebvre and de Certeau; British cultural studies work by Stuart Hall and others; the applied sociology of Adam Krims and Mark Granovetter; and the ethnomusicological framing of Mark Slobin and Martin Stokes. The chapter finishes with an appealing ethnographic snapshot of an evening of community music making, “the Night of the Singing Balconies”—an event that sums up several of the themes structuring this book. This collective concert is analyzed as a lively embodiment of contemporary Berlin performative culture: grassroots inclusivity; a firm belief in the power of enthusiasm over the necessity of talent; and a structural and ideological integration into the fabric of the city itself. The engaging observational style with which the Singing Balconies are described not only brings the night to life but also makes clear the book’s overall approach of ethnographic detail underpinned by solid theoretical framing.
Sounding Jewish in Berlin
Authors: Alexander Phil 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter devotes specific consideration to the complex relationship between contemporary Jewish identity and klezmer music in the city—as seen in two case studies that both directly address Berlin Jewish history through music. The first of these is a project that unearths the rich recorded legacy of two prewar Berlin Jewish record labels (Semer and Lukraphon) and re-presents their music for a modern concert audience. Despite the pre-Holocaust provenance of this music, a post-Holocaust framing is unavoidable, making these materials both a way of hearing the past and also a commentary on the present (including changing German-Jewish relations). In the process, Semer Ensemble raises important questions about the relationship of bounded historical materials to contemporary performance practice. The chapter also critiques the project, arguing that while it powerfully illustrates the wealth of talent and creativity in Berlin’s Jewish music scene, it also bends certain historical narratives to better suit its own artistic aims. Secondly, the chapter discusses the life story and work of singer Tania Alon, one of the few Berlin-born Jews on today’s klezmer and Yiddish scene. Tania’s deeply felt testimony as the granddaughter of Holocaust victims stands as a powerful contrast to the easy fluidity of the contemporary milieu and reminds us of the very personal resonances that this music also contains. In particular, Tania’s singing at Stolpersteine ceremonies is explored, through her own words, as a way of sounding the silenced voices of her family and simultaneously an aural part of the urban fabric.
Curating the Tradition
Authors: Alexander Phil 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter steps a little away from the city itself to look at some of the processes of education, repertoire formation, and dissemination that underpin the transmission of klezmer and Yiddish music within Germany, including how these processes link to the wider transnational scene. It begins with a discussion of the nature of “tradition” in this context, especially pertinent considering the postwar development of this particular tradition in Germany (and its revitalization around much of the world) and klezmer’s continual problematic dialogue with nostalgia and cliché. The chapter then critiques the German workshop hegemony of the 1990s that underpins the current scene, including the perceived split between the universalist tendencies of Argentinian-Israeli clarinetist Giora Feidman and the historically rooted work of American musicians such as Alan Bern. The second half of the chapter is a lively case study of the German scene’s (and Europe’s) most important transmission hub, Yiddish Summer Weimar. This influential and well-established annual series is analyzed through several theoretical filters—filters that unite musical and social principles through the praxis of the Weimar workshops themselves. Once again, these theoretical frameworks are both supported and made accessible through a sustained emphasis on first-person ethnographic detail, drawn in this instance from the author’s attendance at the advanced instrumental workshop week in 2014 and from interviews with participants in subsequent years. This ethnography is also strongly supported by deeply articulate and provocative interview material with Yiddish Summer Weimar’s artistic director, Alan Bern.
Conclusion
Authors: Alexander Phil 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This section ties up the central argument of the book, namely, that Berlin’s klezmer music should be understood as music of/from a city, and that it is the perpetual dialogue with the city that makes the music relevant to its audiences, meaningful to its participants, and worthy of ongoing study. Drawing back from Berlin itself, the chapter reiterates the central claim of the book, which is that for traditional music to survive and flourish in a contemporary urban environment, it must stake its claim as an engaged part of the modern urban soundscape. Klezmer in Berlin connects itself to the histories and geographies of the city; in the process, it moves decisively away from moribund debates of guilt or cultural appropriation, toward a dynamic and provocative lived engagement with tradition, cosmopolitanism, Jewishness, and the contemporary city.
The Study Approach and Methodology
Authors: Douglas Heather 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
The chapter outlines the approach and methodology of the study that underpins this book. This study draws on interviews with 65 women who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV) and interacted with the legal system. The women were interviewed on three occasions over a 3-year period to understand how their experiences of law changed over time. This chapter also describes the characteristics of the women who took part in the study and the limitations of the study. It provides an overview of previous studies that have interviewed people over time and considers the choice of language used in this book.
Interacting With the Child Protection Service
Authors: Douglas Heather 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the women’s interaction with child protection workers and he child protection system in the context of intimate partner violence (IPV). Many women who have experienced IPV have contact with child protection services (CPS); some contact CPS seeking help, and others are investigated by CPS as a result of IPV and complaints made about their mothering. Three key themes are explored in this chapter. Women felt they were held to account by CPS workers for their ex-partner’s IPV. A number of women reported that their partners made malicious allegations to CPS about them, leading to lengthy and stressful investigations that resulted in no concerns being found about their mothering. Some women’s experiences highlighted the complex experience of IPV, intergenerational trauma, and CPS involvement.
Lawyers and Legal Representation
Authors: Douglas Heather 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter explores women’s involvement with lawyers after experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). While women generally had a positive experience with their own lawyers, many women reported difficulties in getting access to and retaining state-funded legal aid. Women who paid privately for legal advice and representation often faced mounting debts, causing significant anxiety. Some women found their stress and debt were amplified by their ex-partner’s abuse of legal processes and, in some cases, the unethical behavior of their ex-partner’s lawyer. For many women their circumstances in relation to legal representation and potential costs influenced their decisions about going to law. This chapter also explores the range of strategies and compromises women employed to access legal support and the stresses and challenges they faced when they were only partially represented or unrepresented.
Judges in the Protection Orders and Family Law Systems
Authors: Douglas Heather 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter explores women’s interactions with judges when they appeared before them in relation to protection orders and child custody orders after experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). Commonly women identified that judges prioritized physical violence and minimized other forms of abuse and that they seemed to align with abusers, discounting the women’s experiences of abuse. Women identified that judges often lacked preparation for hearings, rubber-stamped witness subpoenas, and failed to stop irrelevant witness examination. They explained how these approaches facilitated their partner’s misuse of the legal system as a tactic of abuse. Women also discussed how judges, especially in the family courts, prioritized fathers’ rights to contact with children over safety. However, women’s stories also demonstrated resistance to their abuser’s control over them through the courts, and their efforts to ensure the safety of their children regardless of court orders.
The Process and Conditionality of Separation
Authors: Douglas Heather 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter considers women’s dynamic experiences of leaving violent relationships in the shadow of static legal understandings of separation and the ongoing dangers women face when they engage with legal systems and processes. When women are trying to separate, sometimes law is the one thing that keeps bringing them back into contact with their abuser. This chapter highlights women’s experiences of separation as a process and journey rather than a single moment in time. Drawing on the experiences of some of the women in the study, two areas of law where separation underpins the legal response are highlighted: the migration and visa system and the family law system.
Conclusion
Authors: Douglas Heather 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This final chapter affirms the importance of listening to women’s experiences when considering how legal responses to intimate partner violence might be improved to make women safe. The chapter reviews key themes identified in the book, including abusers’ use of the legal system to continue abuse and the role of child protection workers, police, lawyers, and judges in facilitating that abuse. It highlights a common and continuing failure of those who work in the legal system to recognize the significance of nonphysical abuse, to persistently misunderstand the dynamics of separation and ultimately, to fail to prioritize safety. This chapter makes recommendations for law and policy reform toward making the legal system safer.
God Save the USSR
Authors: Eden Jeff 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
God Save the USSR reviews religious life in the Soviet Union during the Second World War and shows how, as the Soviet Red Army was locked in brutal combat against the Nazis, Stalin ended the state’s violent, decades-long persecution of religion. In a stunning reversal, priests, imams, rabbis, and other religious elites—many of them newly released from the Gulag—were tasked with rallying Soviet citizens to a “Holy War” against Hitler. The book depicts the delight of some citizens, and the horror of others, as Stalin’s reversal encouraged a widespread perception that his “war on religion” was over. A revolution in Soviet religious life ensued: soldiers prayed on the battlefield; entire villages celebrated once-banned holidays; and state-backed religious leaders used their new positions to not only consolidate power over their communities but also petition for further religious freedoms. As a window on this wartime “religious revolution,” this book focuses on the Soviet Union’s Muslims, using sources in several languages (including Russian, Tatar, Bashkir, Uzbek, Persian, and Kumyk). Drawing evidence from eyewitness accounts, interviews, soldiers’ letters, frontline poetry, agents’ reports, petitions, and the words of Soviet Muslim leaders, the book argues that the religious revolution was fomented simultaneously by the state and by religious Soviet citizens: the state gave an inch, and many citizens took a mile, as atheist Soviet agents looked on in exasperation at the resurgence of unconcealed devotional life.
Praying with Stalin
Authors: Eden Jeff 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter shows how Soviet Muslim leaders were called upon to rally their communities in wartime; how they articulated the fight against Hitler in Islamic terms; how they attempted to advance a platform of shared values and shared interests with the Soviet state; and how they used the novel occasion of addressing their followers to define communal religious identity in terms that, just a few years earlier, could well have earned these same elites a trip to the Gulag and a bullet in the head. At the heart of this chapter are several remarkable speeches, translated here from Uzbek, Bashkir, Persian, and Russian—each one a call to the war against Hitler issued by Soviet Muslim muftis in language that bridges Soviet wartime propaganda and classical Islamic rhetoric on “Holy War.”
Tower of Babel?
Authors: McBride Catherine , Mo Jianhong 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter discusses approaches to literacy development and impairment across cultures. Much of the work has contrasted Chinese and English literacy learning. The chapter reviews the connection between speech and reading; the importance of alphabet knowledge for reading; the nature and significance of morphological awareness for several aspects of literacy; aspects of writing such as maternal mediation, copying, and writing composition; and reading comprehension. Work in different cultural contexts has highlighted the fact that there are universals common to the literacy acquisition process but also aspects that are more important for reading and writing in some languages and scripts than in others.
On Dynamic Contexts and Unstable Categories
Authors: Ryder Andrew G. , Doucerain Marina M. , Zhou Biru , Dere Jessica , Jurcik Tomas , Zhou Xiaolu 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter discusses the lead author’s research program at the intersection of cultural psychology and clinical psychology from 1997 to 2017, emphasizing work conducted with one or more of the co-authors—former graduate students who are now independent researchers. After a brief consideration of formative research experiences, the chapter begins with research on the dynamic contexts of migrants undergoing acculturation. Much of this work challenges essentialized cultural groups, although it also tends to rely on standard measures of psychosocial adjustment. In contrast, the next part of the chapter covers research on the unstable categories of psychopathology observed when cultural variation is taken seriously. Much of this work challenges essentialized diagnostic categories, although it also tends to rely on standard group comparisons. The chapter’s final major section describes the development of cultural-clinical psychology, proposing a research agenda that would combine dynamic views of culture and psychopathology with implications for clinical practice.
Introduction Why a Volume on Multisystemic Resilience?
Authors: Ungar Michael 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
While different disciplines have developed theory and models to explain the resilience of the systems they study (e.g., a natural environment, a community postdisaster, the human mind, a computer network, or the economy), there is a lack of overarching theory that describes (i) whether the principles that underpin the resilience of one system are similar or different from the principles that govern resilience of other systems; (ii) whether the resilience of one system affects the resilience of other co-occurring systems; and (iii) whether a better understanding of resilience can inform the design of interventions, programs, and policies that address “wicked” problems that are too complex to solve by changing one system at a time. This introduction to the volume discusses why an edited collection of papers like this is needed and provides a short synopsis of the chapters, arranged by discipline.
Promoting Resilience Within Public Health Approaches for Indigenous Communities
Authors: Mushquash Christopher , Toombs Elaine , Kowatch Kristy , Lund Jessie , Dalicandro Lauren , Boles Kara 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Resilience within public health is conceptualized to be fostered through individual, community, and systemic initiatives that promote capacity through interconnected primary, secondary, and tertiary health interventions. Within community public health settings, particularly for Canadian Indigenous communities, an emphasis on interconnected, multisystemic interventions that promote resilience can be particularly useful. Fostering resilience within Indigenous health seeks to prioritize unique needs of individuals and communities, through both process- and outcome-based measurement. Given that Indigenous individuals’ needs may differ from non-Indigenous populations in Canada, careful consideration of how to best conceptualize, measure, and promote resilience is required. Tools such as the Native Wellness Assessment and the First Nations Mental Wellness Continuum Framework can be helpful to both measure and conceptualize resilience, as they can provide insight on what is considered to be best practices to increasing wellness within Indigenous communities. Such tools continue to prioritize the multisystemic promotion of resilience.
Resilience in Developmental Systems
Authors: Masten Ann S. 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter highlights findings from the developmental research on resilience in children and families. From a developmental systems perspective, resilience is defined as the capacity of a dynamic system to adapt successfully to challenges that threaten the function, survival, or development of the system. Principles that inform this perspective are delineated, along with implications for the meaning of resilience and its applications in practice. Many interacting systems shape the development of individuals as well as families, such that capacity for adapting successfully to adversity will depend on the interactions of multiple systems. Salient models of resilience are discussed along with key concepts in developmental resilience science, such as pathways, cascades, promotive factors, and protective factors. Common resilience factors observed across system levels are identified from studies of human resilience. A resilience framework for action is described, including five components, and new horizons in developmental multisystem resilience research are summarized.
Stressor Appraisal as an Explanation for the Influence of Extra-Individual Factors on Psychological Resilience
Authors: Kalisch Raffael , Kampa Miriam 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
In this chapter, the authors show how studying stressor appraisal and resulting adaptive coping potentially provides a parsimonious explanation of psychological resilience. Extra-individual factors such as social support, favorable environmental conditions, or positive cultural influences have all been found to be associated with people maintaining mental health in the face of adversity. It thus appears logical that the inclusion of extra-individual factors into models of psychological resilience will improve our understanding of the concept. However, these multisystemic approaches to resilience sometimes ignore that the presence of adversity is an essential part of the concept of psychological resilience: some individuals stay mentally healthy despite being exposed to significant stressors. As a consequence, extra-individual factors that reduce or limit individuals’ overall exposure to stressors (e.g., material support, healthy living conditions, safe neighborhoods) may be beneficial for their mental health, but they do not, as such, inform about resilience. Classifying these buffers as resilience factors blurs the resilience concept, because by removing stressors they remove a driving force for mental health deteriorations rather than help individuals to not let the stressors drive mental health changes. The authors argue that the primary mechanism for mental health in contexts of stressor exposure remains individual appraisal of difficult situations in a way that produces adaptive stress reactions. These reactions promote coping with the threat but do not overly burden or unnecessarily consume an organism’s resources, thereby containing the deleterious consequences of stressor exposure on mental health.
Resilience in the Salutogenic Model of Health
Authors: Mittelmark Maurice B. 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter discusses the question, how does Antonovsky’s salutogenic model of health address the concept resilience? Resilience scholarship focuses on coping processes in persons and groups who experience severe adversity and deprivation, while salutogenic processes are posited to be descriptive of coping in all persons. Resilience scholarship has always had a focus on developing interventions to help people do well in life despite barriers, while salutogenesis has until recently been more concerned with descriptive research. Resilience and salutogenesis share the perspective that coping is culturally and contextually bounded. Resilience scholarship is principled, but no single, articulated theory is dominate. Salutogenesis is well developed as a theory, following the scholarship of Aaron Antonovsky. The concept resilience does not have a formal place in salutogenesis theory, yet when salutogenesis scholars focus on coping under conditions of severe adversity, they apply resilience approaches and strategies, even if the concept resilience is not explicit.
People, Perceptions, and Process
Authors: Alessa Lilian , Kliskey Andrew 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
In this chapter, the authors refer to resilience as a process predicated on the ability to accurately sense, perceive, and/or evaluate change trajectories, frequency, and magnitude. As a social process, resilience is governed by perceptions—they determine awareness, or lack thereof, of social-ecological system states and guide responsive actions under chronic or catastrophic change. Successful adaptive response is determined by the accuracy of perceptions to actual change. When these are closely aligned, an individual or community is said to have a small delta, or difference between perceived and actual change, and is thus more likely to enact responses that are adaptive—this is known as P Δ I. The extent to which modern conveniences and technology act as a barrier to the awareness of change in the state of landscape or resource conditions (e.g., change over time in water availability or fish abundance or political decision-making) is known as technology-induced environmental distancing and demonstrates how perceptions contribute to resilience as a process. This chapter emphasizes the crucial role of perceptions in multisystemic resilience.
