LIVING

ORIGINALISM

JACK M. BALKIN

“Living Originalism is thebest book on constitutionaltheory…It offers brilliantargument and insights andis often truly moving in its conception of what itmeans to take the Consti-tution seriously. It will be

a worthy successor to Bickel’s The Least Danger-ous Branch and Ely’s Democracy and Distrust inframing discussion of the Constitution for yearsto come.”

—SANFORD LEVINSON, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SCHOOL OF LAW

“Living Originalism is the best and most important work in constitutional theory sinceDworkin’s Law’s Empire…It is without doubt a work of remarkable sophistication, maturity,and grace. Jack Balkin is already in the upperechelon of today’s constitutional scholars, butthis book puts him at the top of the top.”

REDEMPTION

Political Faith in an Unjust WorldJACK M. BALKIN

“Balkin’s book is bothacute and inspiring—Balkin at his best. Wonderfully articulate,provocative, and illumi-nating, Balkin offers a remarkably original andunified argument that the long history of strug-gle over the Constitution’s commitments canbest be understood as a nation’s story of faith,doubt, and redemption.”

—JAMES E. FLEMING, BOSTON UNIVERSITY

“A wonderful meditation on the American constitutional story. Balkin’s living originalismchallenges both those who would unmoor con-stitutionalism completely from the past, andthose who would have us ruled by long-deadwhite men in hideous wigs.”

THE BODY OF

JOHN MERRYMAN

Abraham Lincoln and the Suspension of Habeas CorpusBRIAN MCGINTY

“In Brian McGinty’s en-gaging treatment of thisfamous episode, Lincolncomes across as a famil-

iar figure—both thoughtful and decisive, re-spectful of constitutional law yet aware of theunusual necessities of the time…McGinty’s account offers a…vivid and rounded picture of the episode by giving Chief Justice Taney’s mo-tivations and hypocrisies equal billing; doing soputs Lincoln’s actions in an even more favorablelight than history already has. Beset by enemieson all sides, Lincoln had also to cope with calcu-lated opposition clothed in judicial robes, andhe did so with admirable restraint.”

THE UPSIDE-DOWN

CONSTITUTION

MICHAEL S. GREVE

The Constitution’s vision of federalism in which local,state, and federal govern-ment compete to satisfy preferences of individuals has given way to a coopera-tive, cartelized federalismthat enables interest groupsto leverage power at every level for their own benefit. Greve traces this inversion and dispelsmuch received wisdom along the way.

“Political events and extraordinary scholars havemade this a golden age of argument about theConstitution. One of those scholars, MichaelGreve, argues that promoting federalism—inthe conventional sense of states’ rights or theTenth Amendment—may promote a greaterquantity and poorer quality of government.This may seem counterintuitive, particularly toconservatives, but not to those who rememberwhy various states’ policies convinced JamesMadison that the Articles of Confederation had to be replaced by the Constitution.”

OF AMERICAN FEDERALISM

“As LaCroix shows in this engaging treatise, thewho-does-what questions at the heart of federal-ism have vexed the nation from the get-go.”

—KEVIN R. KOSAR, WEEKLY STANDARD

“The virtue of LaCroix’s account is to show notonly that federalism as it developed was moreintellectually coherent than a mere bundle ofcompromises, but also that its theoretical corehad begun to emerge decades before the dele-gates travelled to Philadelphia in May 1787 [for the Constitutional Convention].”

over-regulated state gives too much discretion toregulators, which results in arbitrary, unfair deci-sions, and other abuses. Epstein bases his classicalliberalism on the twin pillars of the rule of lawand of private contracts and property rights.

THE SUPREME COURT AND THE

AMERICAN ELITE, 1789–2008

LUCAS A. POWE, JR.

“Powe has certainly written a book that is enter-taining, quirky, idiosyncratic, fun to read, andmore than occasionally insightful. It does blendtogether legal doctrine and American politics,and as a result the history is richer—and morecomplete—than the usual account.”

—LAWRENCE M. FRIEDMAN, AMERICAN PROSPECT

“A leading historian of the Supreme Court,Powe decries what he calls the Imperial Court,which he sees as overly concerned with solidify-ing its primacy through a series of pretentiousopinions. He details a litany of cases in whichthe Rehnquist Court overturned positive, pro-gressive, and proactive legislation designed toprotect and improve society, instead turning torigid interpretation in an overreaching attemptto stifle congressional authority, as granted bythe Constitution.”

THE PEOPLE’SCOURTS

Pursuing JudicialIndependence inAmericaJED HANDELSMANSHUGERMAN

In the United States, almost 90 percent ofstate judges have to runin popular elections to remain on the bench. In the past decade, this peculiarly American institution has produced vicious multi-million-dollar political election campaigns and high-profile allegations of judicial bias and miscon-duct. The People’s Courts traces the history of judicial elections and Americans’ quest for an independent judiciary—one that would ensurefairness for all before the law—from the colonialera to the present.

“This is an important book on a vastly impor-tant topic—the indispensable source for anyoneinterested in how the United States arrived atthe ‘peculiar institution’ of judicial elections.”

REASONING FROM RACE

Feminism, Law, and the Civil Rights RevolutionSERENA MAYERI

In the 1960s and 1970s, analogies between sexdiscrimination and racial injustice became potentweapons in the battle for women’s rights, as femi-nists borrowed rhetoric and legal arguments fromthe civil rights movement. Serena Mayeri’s Rea-soning from Race is the first history of this keystrategy and its consequences for American law.

“Mayeri shows that racial politics’ impact on thewomen’s movement was not a coincidence oftiming but rather the inevitable result of ideasand individuals colliding at key moments in his-tory. Her carefully crafted reconciliation of racialjustice with women’s rights offers a template forincorporating race into ongoing feminist debaterather than letting such conversations end inpainful silence.”

how economic prosperity plays out in ordinarycitizens’ lives…By demonstrating the philosophi-cal underpinnings of this approach and how thetheory plays out in the real world, Nussbaummakes a compelling case. Not only is this a morerealistic measure of wealth, but it is also a farmore compassionate one. For readers who enjoyeconomics laced with humanity.”

“Offering a forceful and persuasive account ofthe failings of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)as an accurate reflection of human welfare, thedistinguished philosopher Nussbaum provides aframework for a new account of global develop-ment based on the concept of capabilities…Theauthor argues that human development is bestmeasured in terms of specific opportunitiesavailable to individuals rather than economicgrowth figures…This small book provides astrong foundation for beginning to think abouthow economic growth and individual flourish-ing might coincide.”

IN IRAN

A Century of Struggle againstAuthoritarian RuleFAKHREDDIN AZIMI

“For Azimi, all Iranian history after 1905 is an

attempt to fulfill, partially accommodate, or circumvent the ideals of a constitutional move-ment that placed popular representation at thefore of its priorities. He traces how at variousmoments public alienation and resentment havebeen articulated or expressed and finally, how ‘a culture of confrontation’ emerged. His bookgoes a long way toward recuperating a history of Iranian democracy that has been expunged by Orientalists who wonder aloud if there issomething about Muslim lands that makes them inhospitable to democracy or, alternatively,those who have dismissed periods of hectic par-liamentary activity as mere chaos.”

THE INVENTION

OF LAW IN

THE WEST

ALDO SCHIAVONE

Translated by Jeremy Carden andAntony Shugaar

Law is a specific form of social regulation dis-tinct from religion,

ethics, and even politics, and endowed with astrong and autonomous rationality. Its invention,a crucial aspect of Western history, took placeagainst the backdrop of the Roman Empire'sgradual consolidation. Schiavone reconstructs this development with clear-eyed passion.

“Everyone recognizes that during the earlyRoman Empire law emerged as a professional-ized and vital part of statecraft, but few under-stand the wrenching intellectual controversy thataccompanied the transformation. Aldo Schi-avone’s terrific book brings this historic debateinto dazzling focus.”

Backhouse and Bateman more thankeep up, not by competing with Keynes, but byletting him speak, in all his many voices…Asthey make clear in their discussion of Keynesian-ism after Keynes, his relationship with his ownlegacy is complex and ambiguous. He was not aman to be pinned down because he recognizedthat the world, which includes matters of eco-nomics as well as so much more, is neither sim-ple, straightforward, nor apprehensible bytime-bound men armed with doctrines and dog-mas.

borne out? Harnessing his frustration with thiscontradiction, Schlefer sets out to investigate howeconomists arrive at their opinions.

“A marvel of clarity and elegance, The Assumptions Economists Make is the best book I’ve read about the ideas and practices of economists. With great respect, curiosity, insight, and wit, Jonathan Schlefer has givenreaders a sense of how the models andmetaphors of economics inform our most important public policy debates. He manages to connect the theories that economists pro-duce—and the assumptions that go along with the theories—to economists’ varied, influential roles in public life as policy makers and public intellectuals.”

DEEP SECRETS

Boys’ Friendships and theCrisis of ConnectionNIOBE WAY


“Way’s book should provide encouragementto parents wondering

whether they are setting their children, especiallytheir sons, up for abuse by encouraging closenessand defiance of gender stereotypes, particularlythose concerning close same-sex friends. Way as-serts that the need and ability for connection is askeen in boys as it is in girls, and she backs up herassertion with plenty of data and close reading ofthe literature. Connection is not something oneneeds to teach, as the author so eloquentlydemonstrates; it is something one needs to foster.The text is beautifully written, and the boys’ sto-ries are interspersed with explanations and discus-sion substantiated by the literature.”

The Rise and Fall ofDementia PraecoxRICHARD NOLL

“Between 1895 and the1930s, tens of thou-sands of Americans werediagnosed with demen-tia praecox—an ‘incur-

able’ psychosis described by German psychiatristEmil Kraepelin. The diagnoses then petered out.Psychologist Richard Noll traces the trajectoryof this near-forgotten disorder, showing how itbecame the first specified disease of psychiatry,legitimizing that field’s place in medicine. Nollalso shows how the debates today around thesuccessor to dementia praecox, schizophrenia,are leading to a trend in psychiatry towards di-agnoses that could fit better with genetics.”

THE PRIMATE MIND

Built to Connect with Other MindsEDITED BY FRANS B. M. DE WAAL AND PIER FRANCESCO FERRARI

In The Primate Mind, prominent neuroscientists,psychologists, ethologists, and primatologistsfrom around the world take a bottom-up ap-proach to primate social behavior by investigatinghow the primate mind connects with other mindsand exploring the shared neurological basis forimitation, joint action, and empathy.

In the past, there has been a tendency to ask all-or-nothing questions, such as whether primatespossess a theory of mind, have self-awareness, orhave culture. A bottom-up approach asks whatare the underlying cognitive processes of such ca-pacities, some of which may be rather basic andwidespread. Using methods ranging from devel-opmental psychology to neurophysiology andneuroimaging, experts explore the evolutionaryfoundations that allow individuals to read thebody language and respond to the emotions ofothers, interpret their actions and intentions, syn-chronize and coordinate activities, anticipate thebehavior of others, and learn from them. The re-markable social sophistication of primates rests onthese basic processes, which are extensively dis-cussed in the pages of this volume.

Those conclusions will probably bemixed and inconsistent, and that’s okay.

OF MEMORY

Childhood Recollection and Its Objects in Literary ModernismLORNA MARTENS

We once believed in thepower of Proust’s madeleineand Wordsworth’s boyhoodmemories—before literaryculture began to defer to Freud’s questioning of adult memories of childhood. Inthis first sustained look at childhood memories asdepicted in literature, Lorna Martens reveals howmuch we may have lost by turning our attentionthe other way.

“In this brilliant, wide-ranging study of how writers construct childhood memories,Martens takes us from Wordsworth’s cult of the child to the mysteries of recollection in modernist fictions. With lively erudition and exquisite precision, she shows how inventivenessabout times past has its own revelatory energyand poetic truth.”

It will be valuable to anyone who wants tounderstand the precursors of today’s broad de-portation power, as well as its evolution into aninstrument of wide-ranging governmentalpower over the conduct, status, and insecuritiesof immigrants hoping to sink roots in the U.S.”

RESHAPING THE

WORK-FAMILY DEBATE

Why Men and Class MatterJOAN C. WILLIAMS

“Williams is eloquent on the stresses created forboth men and women by a workplace culturethat relies on the old image of the hard-working,always available husband and the stay-at-homewife. She unmasks the fact that women do notdrop out of the workplace, as the media oftenclaim, but rather are pushed.”

—JEAN HARDISTY, WOMEN’S REVIEW OF BOOKS

“This book will join Williams’ first, UnbendingGender, as a key piece in the canon of work-fam-ily scholarship. It is essential reading for all work-family scholars across a wide range of disciplines…It should be added to the pantheon of othercontemporary gender scholarship that has movedthe work-family debate forward…It is my hopethat it will also prove to be essential reading forpoliticians seeking progressive solutions.”

BEING THERE

Learning to Live Cross-CulturallyEDITED BY SARAH H. DAVIS AND MELVIN KONNER

How can an academic who does not believe evilspirits cause illness harbor the hope that her can-cer may be cured by a healer who enters a tranceto battle her demons? Whose actions are more (orless) honorable: those of a prostitute who sells herdaughter’s virginity to a rich man, or those of aprofessor who sanctions her daughter’s hook-upswith casual acquaintances? As they immersethemselves in foreign cultures and navigate the re-lationships that take shape, the authors of theseessays, most of them trained anthropologists, findthat accepting cultural difference is one thing, ex-periencing it is quite another.

In tales that entertain as much as they illuminate,these writers show how the moral and intellectualchallenges of living cross-culturally revealed tothem the limits of their perception and under-standing. Their insights were gained only afterdiscomforts resulting mainly from the authors’own blunders in the field—from Brazil toBotswana, Egypt to Indonesia, Mongolia to Pak-istan, mistakes were made. At a time when mis-understanding of cultural difference is anundeniable source of conflict, we need stories likethese more than ever before.

OPIUM

Uncovering the Politics of the PoppyPIERRE-ARNAUD CHOUVY

“As a site of both the war on terror and the waron drugs, Afghanistan serves Chouvy as a testcase for investigating the chicken-or-egg ques-tions that riddle anti-drug policy. What comesfirst, poverty or poppy growth? Do local war-lords spur opium production, or do the condi-tions that first allowed warlords to take poweralso give way to a drug trade? Is narcoterror-ism—the notion that terrorists use drugs tofund insurgencies—actually behind violence inAfghanistan? …Opium’s insight lies in its re-framing of such questions: despite what somepoliticians would like you to believe, Chouvy ar-gues, these phenomena—violence, poverty, anddrugs—can never be understood independentlyof each other.”

SEEING PATIENTS

Unconscious Bias in Health CareAUGUSTUS A. WHITE III, M.D.

With David Chanoff


“White’s story—part auto-biography, part call to ac-

tion—is a compelling and often uncomfortableread about a hidden world where even the mostcompassionate and egalitarian caregivers oftenfail a basic command of the Hippocratic Oath:to do no harm.”

—SEAN SILVERTHORNE, HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL ALUMNI BULLETIN

“White recounts his ground-breaking life in anengaging, matter-of-fact manner…Challengesexist on both sides of the stethoscope, White ar-gues, noting that the uncertainty felt by manyAfrican-American patients over how they will beperceived also impacts the medical encounter;the burden for alleviating racial and other dis-parities (such as those based in age, gender, andsexual orientation) falls on the medical and edu-cational communities. Accessible, thought-pro-voking, and valuable.”



TOTAL CURE

The Antidote to the Health Care CrisisHAROLD S. LUFT

“Brilliant and badly underappreciated…Luftseems to recognize that advances in medicaltechnology make the traditional approach toprivate health insurance less viable. Yet he alsosees the value in promoting constructive compe-tition…With the [universal coverage pool] inplace, no one will ever go bankrupt due to ill-ness; private insurers and providers will competeon the basics of cost and quality; and the healthsystem will get better and cheaper over time.”

FORCED TO CARE

Coercion and Caregiving in AmericaEVELYN NAKANOGLENN

★ Finalist, C. WrightMills Award, Societyfor the Study of Social Problems

“[Glenn’s] evidence is compelling and dealswith a wide variety of examples that proves how coercion and caregiving have gone hand in hand. She uses evidence from the coercion of African-American women in general, slavery,Native-American women, as well as Whitewomen. She provides the reader with informa-tion on how class, race, and gender have formedthe caregiving policies of twenty-first centuryAmerica and how policies and laws have favoredwomen as carers.”

—ELIN WEISS, METAPSYCHOLOGY

“Glenn advocates for both care providers andthose receiving care, and uses her vast knowledgeof the history and foundation of the problems tooffer concrete solutions to the difficulties bothface as our aging society pushes us closer to a crisis in the fastest growing segment of health-care in America.”

PRISON BLOSSOMS

Anarchist Voices from the American PastALEXANDER BERKMAN, HENRY BAUER, AND CARL NOLD

Edited by Miriam Brody and Bonnie Buettner

Published here for the first time is a crucial document in the history of American radicalism—the “Prison Blossoms,” a series of essays, narratives, poems, and fables composed by three activist anarchists imprisoned for the 1892 assault on anti-union steel tycoon Henry Clay Frick.

“Magnificently edited and masterfully translated, Prison Blossoms should command the attention of anyone interested in the delivery, denial, or deferral of justice in the United States.”
