“Can We All Get Along?”Sixth Edition

Paula D. McClain and Joseph Stewart Jr.

A bestselling book combining traditional elements of political science analysis with a thorough survey of the

political status of Blacks, Latinos, Asian Americans, and American Indians

Fully updated to include new coverage of President Obama’s first term and the 2012 election, including discussions of•

judicial appointments, the Affordable Care Act, and other policy changes; increased coverage of native Hawaiians; and all

new chapter openers.

Unique combination of field survey and new research: By covering the entire field of minorities in American politics•

and including the newest research on the topic, the authors have created an accessible and respected tool for students and

general readers.

Extensive Comparative Coverage: This is the only book that examines all four major racial minority groups in the US in•

a comparative fashion.

In a nation built by immigrants and bedeviled by the history and legacy of slavery and discrimination, issues of liberty,

equality, and community continue to challenge Americans. In the sixth edition of this widely acclaimed text, Paula D. Mc-

Clain and Joseph Stewart Jr. combine traditional elements of political science analysis—history, Constitutional theory, in-

stitutions, political behavior, and policy actors —with a fully updated survey of the political status of four major groups:

African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, and American Indians. The authors show similarities and differences in

these groups’ political action and experience, and point the way toward coalition, competition, and consensus building in

the face of ongoing conflict. Two dilemmas shape the book: How do we as a nation reconcile a commitment to equality

with persistent inequality and discrimination? And what can we do about it—from the perspective of ethnic and racial mi-

norities as well as within the dominant culture?


Paula D. McClain is a professor of political science and public policy and Dean of the Graduate School and Vice Provost

for Graduate Education at Duke University.

Joseph Stewart Jr. is professor of political science at Clemson University. His work has appeared in a variety of political

gies are developed and communicated, the changes in campaign tactics as a result of innovative technology, new tech-

ume scrutinizes national- and local-level campaigns through the 2012 election cycle. Students, citizens, candidates, and

campaign managers will learn not only how to win elections but also why it is imperative to do so in an ethical way. This

American ConstitutionalLaw

Ralph A. Rossum and G. Alan Tarr

A comprehensive core text and casebook that emphasizes precedent-setting cases and alternative constitutional

positions

Breadth of coverage: The authors include both classic cases and recent rulings.•

New cases: The ninth edition features several new cases including National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebe-•

lius, Arizona v. United States, Caperton v. A. T. Massey Coal Company, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission,Perry v. Brown, and Snyder v. Phelps.

American Constitutional Law is written in a way that draws people in, ensuring that they not only understand how court

majorities have ruled over time, they also gain an appreciation of the principles underlying American constitutionalism.

American Constitutional Law provides a comprehensive account of the nation’s defining document. Based on the premise

that the study of the Constitution and constitutional law is of fundamental importance to understanding the principles,

prospects, and problems of America, this text puts current events in terms of what those who initially drafted and ratified

the Constitution sought to accomplish. The authors examine the constitutional thought of the founders, as well as interpre-

tations of the Constitution by the Supreme Court, Congress, the President, lower federal courts, and state judiciaries.

Now fully updated, the ninth edition of this classic volume features several new cases including National Federation ofIndependent Business v. Sebelius, Arizona v. United States, Caperton v. A. T. Massey Coal Company, Citizens United v.Federal Election Commission, Perry v. Brown, and Snyder v. Phelps.

Fifth Edition

The European Union

John McCormick and Jonathan Olsen

A thoroughly revised, concise, and comprehensive introduction to the structure, institutions, and policy

development of the European Union

Revised and Updated: All chapters have been thoroughly revised to include recent developments in EU studies as well•

as institutional changes brought about by the Treaty of Lisbon. New material covers the lead up and aftermath of the

Treaty of Lisbon as well as the nature and origins of the current crisis in the eurozone. Overviews have been added to the

start of each chapter to help guide readers.

Geared to the U.S. Market: Most EU texts are written by Europeans with the European reader in mind. This is one of the•

few major EU books written by an American with the American reader in mind.

New Co-Author: With the addition of Jonathan Olsen as coauthor, the text benefits from another point of view and re-•

search experience.

Covering the history, governing institutions, and policies of the EU, John McCormick and Jonathan Olsen argue that the

EU is one of the world’s economic and political superpowers, has brought far-reaching changes to the lives of Europeans,

and has helped its member states to take a newly assertive role on the global stage. Unlike most other books on the EU,

this text pays particular attention to the implications of the EU for the United States. Thoroughly revised and updated,

with many new tables, figures, and boxes, the fifth edition takes into account developments in the debate about the charac-

ter and significance of the EU, changes to the structure of EU institutions, the implications of the 2004 and 2007 enlarge-

ments, the Lisbon Treaty, the origins and nature of the crisis in the eurozone, and key policy developments.

John McCormick is Jean Monnet Professor of European Union Politics and Director of Graduate Studies in the depart-

ment of political science at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.

Jonathan Olsen is a professor in the department of politics, philosophy, and law at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.

The United Nations andChanging World PoliticsThomas G. Weiss, David P. Forsythe,Roger A. Coate, and Kelly-Kate Pease

A comprehensive and contemporary examination of the United Nations, using a thematic approach to explore the

UN's role in three core issues: peace and security, human rights, and humanitarian affairs

Fully updated: The seventh edition includes updates on the further impact of the global financial crisis and recession on•

international politics, UN activities related to peacekeeping and natural disasters, the UN’s actions in Libya and Syria and

the Arab Spring, the tenure of Ban Ki-moon, Rio+20, and the Iranian nuclear issue.

Comprehensive Scope: By placing the story of the United Nations within the larger framework of global governance, the•

authors provide a thorough discussion not only of the United Nations but also world politics.

User-friendly approach: The text avoids jargon and fuses history, international law, public administration, and politics.•

This completely revised and updated edition is built around three critical themes in international relations—peace and se-

curity, human rights, and humanitarian affairs. The seventh edition of The United Nations and Changing World Politicsguides readers through the complexity of politics and almost seven decades of UN activities. Readers of all levels will

learn what the UN is, how it operates, and what its relationships are with the universe of external actors and institutions,

from sovereign states to the plethora of nongovernmental and intergovernmental organizations now playing important

roles in world politics. This new edition is fully revised to take into account recent events, including the UN’s actions in

Libya and Syria, the tenure of Ban Ki-moon, the global economic and financial meltdown, and efforts to confront nuclear

proliferation and climate change.

Global Environmental Politics

Sixth Edition

Pamela S. Chasek, David L. Downie, andJanet Welsh Brown

A user-friendly, comprehensive, and current explanation of the process and politics of global environmental

policy-making, perfect for readers new to the topic

New material addressing current concerns, incliding the latest international environmental regime; the impact of the•

UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) on global environmental politics; the challenges of regime imple-

mentation, especially in climate change governance; and the impact of the global economic crises on the global environ-

ment.

Accessible Language: The authors clearly explain complex topics without sacrificing nuance, making this an ideal text•

for introductory students and readers.

Case Studies: The wide range of case studies appeals to varied interests and provides up-to-date, in-depth examinations•

of the most intractable issues in global environmental politics.

Although discussions about the global environment are now a daily occurrence—from companies touting energy-saving

products to politicians debating how to best address the issue of climate change and other environmental concerns—it re-

mains a topic plagued by misinformation and ideologically-skewed arguments. For more than twenty years, Global Envi-ronmental Politics has provided an up-to-date, accurate, and unbiased introduction to the world’s most pressing

environmental issues, and this new edition continues the tradition.

Middle East Patterns

Colbert C. Held andJohn Thomas Cummings

Places, Peoples, and Politics

Now in its sixth edition, this classic text continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative geographical

study of the region

Accessible: Though written by experts in the field, the writing remains engaging and geared to students and people new to•

the topic.

Comprehensive: The survey includes analysis of the region's historical, biophysical, ethnographic, economic, and geopo-•

litical patterns, then shifts to regional coverage of all sixteen countries as well as Palestine.

Updated: Thoroughly updated to cover economic and political changes in the region, including the Arab Spring and par-•

allel political unrest, reactive reforms, and search for stability.

Now in its sixth edition, Middle East Patterns continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative geographical

study of the region. Coauthors Colbert C. Held and John Thomas Cummings continue to update this classic work while re-

taining the well-received framework of past editions. The authors first cover the Middle East from a topical perspective

and then provide in-depth country-by-country coverage. The sixth edition maintains the book's distinctive focus on a wide

range of geographical patterns—ethnographic, economic, political—while integrating updated comparative material on

natural resources and human and social development throughout the book, as well as new sections on health issues, busi-

ness environments, and the historical U.S. presence in the region. As in the fifth edition, amplified economic analysis en-

hances the basic value of the volume. Richly illustrated with more than 125 photos and 70 maps, this acclaimed book

remains the best accessible resource for students and general readers who seek to understand the spatial dynamics of the

Middle East.

Religion and Politics in the Middle East

Robert D. Lee

Identity, Ideology, Institutions,

and Attitudes

A comparative analysis of the interacting influences of politics and religion in shaping liberal democratic

development in five Middle Eastern countries

New Case Study: A new chapter focuses on the political and religious climate of Saudi Arabia.•

New Pedagogy: Brief historical chronologies are included at the end of each chapter•

Multi-Dimensional Approach: Lee examines the relationship between religion and politics in the Middle East using four•

different indicators: identity, ideology, institutions, and attitudes in political culture.

Combines Analysis and Empirical Discussions: Early chapters provide context and set hypotheses for how religion and•

politics interact in the Middle East, followed by chapter-length country studies, with a concluding chapter that revisits the

four dimensions and the early hypotheses.

This innovative book analyzes the relationship between religion and politics in the Middle East through a comparative

study of five countries—Egypt, Israel, Turkey, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. Author Robert D. Lee examines each country in

terms of four areas in which state and religion necessarily interact: group identity, ideology, institutions, and attitudes in

political culture. He also considers twenty-five commonly encountered (but often contradictory) hypotheses asserting that

religion is either an obstacle or an aid to political development. The book confronts many questions, including: Is secular-

ization a necessary prerequisite for democratic development? How is it and why is it that religion and politics are so

deeply entangled in these five countries? Why is it that all five countries differ so markedly in the way they identify

themselves and use religion for political purposes?

The second edition is updated throughout and includes an entirely new chapter discussing the political and religious cli-

mate in Saudi Arabia. Brief historical chronologies are also included in each chapter, making this the perfect text for any-

one interested in religion and politics in the Middle East.

Robert D. Lee is professor of political science at Colorado College. He is the author of Overcoming Tradition and Moder-nity: The Search for Islamic Authority and the translator and editor of Rethinking Islam: Common Questions, UncommonAnswers by Mohammed Arkoun.

colonialism, the World Wars, decolonization, and feminism—from an African perspective. Voices emerge throughout the

text in the form of primary sources, exploring the personal accounts of individuals and enabling readers to look beyond

the indistinct figures of Africans in European and American accounts and see the people directly involved and affected by

the major global changes they experienced. With contributed chapters from renowned African history scholars and content

spective. This book is perfect for anyone seeking a compelling narrative of major world events.

Mistaking Africa

Curtis Keim

A unique book exploring the many misperceptions and stereotypes about Africa in the United States—with both

historical and contemporary examples, from high culture and pop culture

Delves in to the corners of American consciousness to discover misperceptions about Africa in advertising, movies,•

amusement parks, and children’s books.

Directly confronts many myths we hold about Africa, including stereotypes about cannibalism, tribalism, racial theories•

of evolution, and big-game safaris.

Thoroughly revised and updated with new examples and references, new images from the mid-nineteenth century•

through the present, and a discussion about "Where is the Real Africa."

Accessible writing presents ethical, philosophical, and theoretical issues in a manageable style.•

For many Americans the mention of Africa immediately conjures up images of safaris, ferocious animals, strangely

dressed “tribesmen,” and impenetrable jungles. Although the occasional newspaper headline alerts us to genocide, AIDS,

malaria, or civil war in Africa, most of us know very little about the continent. However we still carry strong mental im-

ages of Africa, which are reflected in American advertising, movies, amusement parks, cartoons, and many other corners

of our society.

Few think to question these perceptions or how they came to be so deeply lodged in the collective American conscious-

ness. Curtis Keim’s Mistaking Africa looks at the historical evolution of this mindset and examines the role that popular

media play in the creation of our mental images of Africa. Keim addresses the most prevalent myths and preconceptions

and demonstrates how these prevent a true understanding of the enormously diverse peoples and cultures of Africa. Up-

dated throughout, the third edition includes new examples and critical thinking questions. New images have been added

from the mid-nineteenth century through the present to provide a history of western views about Africa in a visual format.

Keim also tackles the difficult topic of "Where is the Real Africa," discussing the multifaceted nature of the question and

the importance of not grasping onto stereotypes of Africa’s mythical past. Mistaking Africa is an important book for

African studies courses and for anyone interested in unraveling American misperceptions of the continent.

Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching, and he is the coauthor of The Scramble for Art in Central Africa and AfricanReflections: Art from Northeastern Zaire.

Pacific Century

Mark Borthwick

The Emergence of Modern Pacific Asia

A broad history of East and Southeast Asia, from prehistory to the current day, in both regional and

country-specific contexts

Dual Approach: The book explores both cross-cutting trends that look at the region as a whole and important historical•

periods in key countries, offering a unique perspective on the topic.

Economic History: Given the growing importance of the region in the global economy, this book spends a significant•

amount of time on economic trends in the region and emphasizes the region’s resilience following the 2008-2009 global

financial crisis.

Updated Material: Recent events placed in historical contxt—Japan’s halting recovery from devastating natural disasters,•

China’s rising internal economic and political tensions, North Korea’s uncertain future under a new leadership—demon-

strate how, amid this startling transformation, Asia’s turbulent past exerts a powerful influence.

The Asia-Pacific region is rapidly emerging as the global economic and political powerhouse of the twenty-first century.

Looking at both Southeast and East Asia, this richly illustrated volume stresses broad, cross-cutting themes of regional

history, with an emphasis on the interactions between cultures and nations. In this updated third edition, Pacific Centuryprovides a significantly revised introduction, which places the contemporary rise of China within the context of the politi-

cal, cultural and economic evolution of the region since ancient times. The text then considers more recent developments

in their historical context, balancing national and international factors underlying Asia-Pacific economic growth and polit-

ical change.

Mark Borthwick is director of the United States Asia Pacific Council at the East-West Center in Washington, DC, and

has served on staff of the subcommittee of Asian and Pacific Affairs in the US House of Representatives.

Thematic focus: Rebecca Dickinson’s experiences during the American Revolution—captured through her journal en-•

tries—provide the backdrop for this fascinating story of an unmarried artisan who earned her own living and lived her en-

tire life within just a few miles of her birthplace, and her ongoing struggle to reconcile social expectations about marriage

PrivilegeThird Edition

Edited by Michael S. Kimmel and Abby L. Ferber

An innovative anthology expanding the concept of privilege and exploring gender, class, race, sexual orientation,

(dis)ability, and religion

Explores privilege from all angles: Being white and male are not the only conditions for privilege, as this innovative an-•

thology demonstrates by delving into the multifaceted and intersectional aspects of privilege and oppression, from race,

gender, class, and sexual preference to (dis)ability and religion.

New and recast readings capture current thinking. In addition to ten entirely new readings, certain selections have been•

recast in a fresh light by their contributing authors.

Enhanced pedagogy—including discussion questions and “personal connections” activities—encourage readers to exam-•

ine their own assumptions, beliefs, values, and practices without becoming overwhelmed or defensive.

Privilege is about more than being white, wealthy, and male—as Michael S. Kimmel, Abby L. Ferber, and a wide range of

contributors make clear in this innovative and timely anthology. In an era when “diversity” is too often shorthand for “of

color” and/or “female,” the personal and analytical essays in this collection explore the multifaceted nature of social loca-

tion and consider how gender, class, race, sexual orientation, (dis)ability, and religion interact to create nuanced layers of

privilege and oppression. The individual essays are powerfully thought-provoking; taken together, they help guide readers

to a deep understanding of the dynamics of diversity and stratification, advantage and power.

Kinship and Gender

Linda Stone

A lively introduction to cross-cultural variations in family structures and kinship while illuminating the

multifaceted nature of gender roles around the world and over time

Updated case studies: Stone revisited all of the case studies for the fifth edition, editing those held over from earlier edi-•

tions with a contemporary reader in mind and incorporating new cases with a broader geographic range, addressing topics

ranging from reproductive technologies to polygyny to globalization.

New material on kinship and evolution: Stone devotes more space to synthesizing recent strides in the scholarship on•

primate kinship and the evolution of human kinship.

Expanded discussion of gender throughout the text, as well as expanded discussion of contemporary social issues such•

as abuse, political unrest, and rapid socio-economic changes.

New chapter on the globalization of kinship. •

Cross-cultural perspective: Stone looks across societies and cultures—including the United States—as she explores the•

mechanisms that produce particular gender roles and kinship structures in particular contexts.

Does kinship still matter in today’s globalized, increasingly mobile world? Do family structures continue to influence the

varied roles that men and women play in different cultures? Answering with a resounding “yes!”, Linda Stone offers a

lively introduction to kinship. She firmly links these concepts to cross-cultural gender studies, illuminating the malleable

nature of gender roles around the world and over time.

Linda Stone is professor emeritus of anthropology at Washington State University. She is the coauthor of Gender and Culturein America and Genes, Culture, and Human Evolution.

Written to engage students and general readers, each chapter provides key terms and useful generalizations gleaned

through cross-cultural research on the interplay of kinship and gender in both traditional societies and contemporary com-

munities. Detailed case studies help readers understand how such generalizations are experienced “in real life.” Stone also

considers the ramifications of current social problems and recent developments in reproductive technology as she demon-

strates the relevance of kinship and gender to students’ lives.

The fully revised fifth edition features discussion of cross-cultural examples complimented by expanded coverage of kin-

ship and gender dynamics within the United States. Stone considers current evolutionary research on kinship and gender,

and offers new case studies addressing international adoptions and polygynous marriage. An entirely new chapter explores

the globalization of kinship in the twenty-first century. The result is a broad and captivating exploration of anthropological

approaches to family and gender.

Social Theory

Edited by Charles Lemert

The 20th Anniversary Edition of this bestselling reader moves beyond the classics by encompassing a truly

inspiring range of ideas that comprise the current understanding of social theory

New “20th Anniversary” Preface that not only introduces the fifth edition, but also looks back on this iconic book’s his-•

tory and assesses developments in social theory over the past two decades.

Cutting-edge new material: This edition has been thoroughly updated to address important new and evolving topics, in-•

cluding mobile technologies, the virtual realm, masculinities, bare life, and more.

New “Context for Social Thought” timelines: Six new timelines visually present included readings against the backdrop•

of significant events in social and world history.

For over twenty years Charles Lemert has scoured the canon of social theory, pulling together long-established classics as

well as engaging modern writing to create an essential collection of social theory from the nineteenth century to the pres-

ent. In this heavily revised fifth edition, Lemert reevaluates the received canon and reasserts this iconic text’s place in the

standard curriculum.

Classic, essential texts from thinkers like Marx and Du Bois remain; other key writers, like John Dewey and Raewyn Con-

nell, are presented in a new light; and leading figures in the discussion of twenty-first-century society, such as Elijah An-

derson, Bruno Latour, and Achille Mbembe, are anthologized here for the first time. In addition to classic and

multicultural readings, the new fifth edition introduces a discussion of global social theory as well as important new and

evolving topics like mobile technologies, the virtual realm, masculinities, and bare life. For the first time, timelines are in-

cluded to visually present readings against the backdrop of significant events in social and world history. With more than
