"Giving voice to a population rarely acknowledged in southern history, Sweet Tea collects life stories from black gay men who were born, raised, and continue to live in the southern United States. E. Patrick Johnson challenges stereotypes of the South as 'backward' or 'repressive, ' suggesting that these men draw upon the performance of 'southernness'--politeness, coded speech, and religiosity, for example--to legitimate themselves as members of both southern and black cultures. At the same time, Johnson argues, they deploy those same codes to establish and build friendship networks and find sexual partners and life partners. Traveling to every southern state, Johnson conducted interviews with more than seventy black gay men between the ages of 19 and 93--lawyers, hairdressers, ministers, artists, doctors, architects, students, professors, and corporate executives, as well as the retired and unemployed. Sweet Tea is arranged according to themes echoed in their narratives. Chapters explore unique experiences as well as shared ones, from coming out stories and church life to homosex and love relationships. The voices collected here dispute the idea that gay subcultures flourish primarily in northern, secular, urban areas. In addition to filling in a gap in the sexual history of the South, Sweet Tea offers a window into the ways that black gay men negotiate their sexual and racial identities with their southern cultural and religious identities. The interviews also reveal how they build and maintain community in many spaces and activities, some of which may appear to be antigay. Through Johnson's use of critical performance ethnography, Sweet Tea validates the lives of these black gay men and reinforces the role of storytelling in both African American and southern cultures"--Publisher description

A first time historical analysis and case study of the Temperance Movement in the mid-19th century Scotland, focusing on Aberdeen. The main focus of the book is to examine who the temperance reformers were but also what motivated them. By drawing from local newspapers, writings, and speeches and studying the rhetoric that the temperance movement used, the book also shows that the movement was not one uniform movement and that it was shaped by religious, political, industrial, and urban influences.

El presente artículo cuestiona la Planificación Estratégica Territorial como una herramienta neutra, problematizando la manera que ha marcado históricamente al paisaje y las personas que lo habitan. Esta reflexión se desarrolló durante la elaboración de un Plan Estratégico para la Región Caribe Norte, para lo cual se revisaron diversas fuentes de información tales como: la legislación en la materia, datos geoespaciales, la configuración histórica de los modelos de producción, e investigaciones académicas de relevancia. Con ello, se plateó una alternativa que rompiera con la forma de planificar hegemónica, al mismo tiempo que se sugiere su uso como un medio para validar a la población al atender sus necesidades y respetar sus derechos humanos. ; This article questions Territorial Strategic Planning as a neutral tool, problematizing the way it has historically marked the landscape and the people who inhabit it. This reflection was developed during the preparation of a Strategic Plan for the North Caribbean Region, for which various sources of information were reviewed, such as: legislation on the matter, geospatial data, the historical configuration of production models, and academic research of relevance. With this, an alternative was proposed that would break with the hegemonic way of planning, while at the same time it suggests its use as a means to validate the population, by attending to their needs and respecting their human rights.

In the immediate aftermath of German reunification, as in the wake of the recent humanitarian crisis, Germany experienced notable 'peaks' of racist agitation and violence. In the 1990s, as today, the post-Communist eastern regions of Germany tend to be perceived as the hub of such racism. In this article, Lewicki revisits both 'peaks' via an examination of numerical evidence for verbal and physical racist violence in the former East and West of Germany. Rather than conceiving of racism as 'cyclical' or a specific legacy of the Communist dictatorship, her analysis suggests that political projects in Germany's past and present have retained distinct structural incarnations of race. Far-right activists could thus successfully channel animosities resulting from the terms of unification into nationalist and racist resentment: momentarily more so in the East, but increasingly also in the West. The politics of citizenship, Lewicki argues, has provided a key means of perpetuating, reaffirming and cementing racialized hierarchies in the two post-war German states, but also in reunified Germany.

Rewilding is positioned as 'post'-conservation through its emphasis on unleashing the autonomy of natural processes. In this paper, we argue that the autonomy of nature rhetoric in rewilding is challenged by human interventions. Instead of joining critique toward the 'managed wilderness' approach of rewilding, however, we examine the injustices this entails for keystone species. Reintroduction case studies demonstrate how arbitrary standards for wildness are imposed on these animals as they do their assigned duty to rehabilitate ecosystems. These 'Goldilocks' standards are predicated on aesthetic values that sanction interventions inconsistent with the premise of animal sovereignty. These include culling, relocations and sterilizations of animals that demonstrate the kind of autonomy championed in rewilding rhetoric. Drawing from Donaldson and Kymlicka's framework for political animal categories, we conclude by arguing that rewilding needs to re-position itself in one of two ways. Either it should align itself more closely to mainstream conservation and embrace full animal sovereignty without Goldilocks conditions, or it should commit to taking full responsibility for reintroduced animals, including supplementary feeding and care.

Nora Friederike Hoffmann stellt die Frage nach den 'feinen Unterschieden' sozialer Praxis innerhalb einer Szene und bringt damit die Untersuchung sozialer Ungleichheiten zurück in die Jugendkulturforschung. Zudem bietet sie einen Ansatz zur Erforschung sozialer Ungleichheiten mit Hilfe qualitativer Forschungsmethoden. Auf Basis von empirischem Material rekonstruiert sie unter Verwendung der Dokumentarischen Methode verschiedene Typen habitueller Stile innerhalb der Szene elektronischer Tanzmusik und führt deren Genese auf unterschiedliche Sozialisationsbedingungen zurück. Der Inhalt Individualisierung vs. soziale Ungleichheit Jugendkultur, Stil und soziale Ungleichheit Die Szene elektronischer Tanzmusik Sinn- und soziogenetische Milieus in der Szene elektronischer Tanzmusik Szene, Milieus und soziale Ungleichheit Die Zielgruppen Dozierende und Studierende der Pädagogik Interessierte an Jugendkulturen/Szenen, sozialer Ungleichheit, Praxeologischer Wissenssoziologie, text- und bildbasierten Erhebungsmethoden Die Autorin Nora Friederike Hoffmann ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin bei Prof. Heinz-Hermann Krüger am Institut für Pädagogik der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg

National audience ; This study focuses on worldwide governance. It will be related to the Assian approach of international relationships. This approach claiming by the Chinese is closed to the David Miller Nationalist and liberal way of thinking. But it remains very restrictive because it is only based on the liberal economic point of view. We will do a critical study of the principles which are regulating the governances and we will analyse a special sectorial field: the Sino-African relations. These thoughts and statements need to have a sectorial dimension of approaching matters. The management of the different governments can have effects on local realities of people's life and on investments. In thirty years China passed from an emerging country to the second worldwide economically powerful country just behind the United States. Now, they must have an interdependance relationship with the United States. It is very important and necessary to undermine this interdependance relationship in order to understand how its economic strategy has an influence upon the worldwide market. And from this study, we will understand how the Chinese relate to the balance of power they are dealing with.

Die Verfasserinnen befassen sich mit zwei Forschungsfragen. Zunächst wird untersucht, welche Strategien Wissenschaftler mit Kindern für die Verfolgung ihrer Karrieren entwickeln und welche Betreuungsarrangements (mit ihren Partnern) bei der Familiengründung gefunden werden. Anschließend wird geprüft, welchen Einfluss die Lösungen der Kinderbetreuung auf die Karrierechancen von Wissenschaftlerinnen haben. Der Fokus liegt auf den Unterschieden zwischen Wissenschaftlerinnen mit und ohne Karriere. Für die Analyse werden quantitative und qualitative Methoden kombiniert. In einem ersten Schritt wird ein kurzer Überblick darüber gegeben, wer von den Wissenschaftlern und Wissenschaftlerinnen in Akademikerpartnerschaften eine Familie gründet, wann das in der Regel erfolgt und wie viele Kinder geboren werden. In einem zweiten Schritt werden auf der Basis von 28 problemzentrierten Interviews Betreuungsstrategien der Wissenschaftler und ihrer Partner untersucht. In einem dritten Schritt wird mit Hilfe multivariater Methoden geprüft, welchen Einfluss der Betreuungsarrangements für das erste Kind darauf besitzen, ob Frauen zu den verschiedenen Zeitpunkten nach der Familiengründung nach objektiven Vorgaben Karrieren in der Wissenschaft haben oder nicht.
