Extremism, Society, and the State
Extremism does not happen in a vacuum. Rather, extremism is a relative concept that often emerges in crisis situations, taking shape within the tense and contradictory relations that tie marginal spaces, state orders, and mainstream culture. This collected volume brings together leading anthropologists and cultural analysts to offer a concise look at the narratives, symbolic, and metaphoric fields related to extremism, systematizing an approach to extremism, and placing these ideologies into historical, political, and geo-systemic contexts.

Sibling Action
The sibling stands out as a ubiquitous—yet unacknowledged—conceptual touchstone across the European long nineteenth century. Beginning in the late eighteenth century, Europeans embarked on a new way of classifying the world, devising genealogies that determined degrees of relatedness by tracing heritage through common ancestry. This methodology organized historical systems into family trees in a wide array of new disciplines, transforming into siblings the closest contemporaneous terms on trees of languages, religions, races, nations, species, or individuals. In literature, a sudden proliferation of siblings—often incestuously inclined—negotiated this confluence of knowledge and iden...
The Only Secure Job
"The past twenty years have seen a re-writing of the unwritten contract between employer and employee. We used to assume that if we worked hard, were loyal to our employers, and kept our noses clean, then we'd be taken care of for life, with some money put by for a pension in retirement. This is no longer the case." "There is no job security to be found in the external world anymore. You have to create your own, and what's more, you don't just do it once, you have to do it over and over again." - Richard Worzel In this useful handbook for the employee or would-be entrepreneur, Richard Worzel takes the reader through the process of changing their thinking from that of employee to entrepreneur...
