Using 1945-1977 survey data, tests the hypothesis that ethnic factors -- measured by minority religion (Jewish) & minority language (mother tongue other than French or English) -- are more powerful predictors of support for the Communist Party of Canada than class factors measured by profession & trade union membership. The hypothesis is not verified on all measures, but "minority mother tongue" appears to be nearly as good a predictor as "unskilled labor." The strength of the ethnic factor in predicting support for the most class-oriented among Canadian parties suggests that the relative effect of class & ethnicity in predicting a Communist vote can be used to measure the depth of ethnic cleavages in a given society as well as across nations. 6 Tables.

'Monthly waterbird counts from February 1974 to June 1977 at six wetlands in the Richmond River valley in northern coastal New South Wales were analysed to investigate relationships between numbers of each species, and season and water variables. Black swan, Pacific black duck, purple swamphen, dusky moorhen, cattle egret, comb-crested jacana and sharp-tailed sandpiper were strongly influenced by season. Grey teal, straw-necked ibis, little black cormorant, Pacific heron and black-winged stilt numbers were related to Murray River discharge, an index of inland wetland availability in New South Wales, northern Victoria and parts of southern Queensland. Numbers of most waterbirds were highest on the coast from late summer to the end of winter. Their seasonal abundance patterns conform with the results of some previous studies but differ somewhat from others.

Obwohl Philosophinnen im 20. Jahrhundert die Philosophiegeschichte wesentlich mit geprägt haben, kommen sie in den wichtigsten Überblicksdarstellungen gar nicht oder nur am Rande vor. In diesem Buch werden endlich die wichtigsten Denkerinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts wie Simone Weil, Edith Stein, Hannah Arendt, Simone de Beauvoir u.v.a. porträtiert. Diese Philosophinnen vertreten ganz unterschiedliche Richtungen. Trotz der Verschiedenartigkeit ihrer Denkansätze ist aber auch eine auffallende Gemeinsamkeit zu erkennen: das Nachdenken über Kontingenz, d.h. über die Nicht-Notwendigkeit, Zufälligkeit und historische Bedingtheit von Ordnungs- und Begriffssystemen, die bislang als festgefügt galten.

'Another India' tells the story of the world's biggest religious minority. Weaving together vivid biographical portraits of a wide range of Indian Muslims--elite and subaltern, secular and clerical, activist and apolitical--it brings the experience of the country's Muslims under a single focus; and, by throwing light on the Indian Muslim condition during the first thirty years of independence, reflects on the true character of democratic India. What we have here is a rather different picture from received accounts of the 'world's largest democracy'. Challenging traditional histories of Nehru's India, Pratinav Anil shows that minority rights were neglected right from independence. Despite its best intentions, the Congress regime that ruled for three decades was often illiberal, intolerant and undemocratic. Muslims had to contend with discrimination, disadvantage, deindustrialisation, dispossession and disenfranchisement, as well as an unresponsive leadership. Anil demonstrates how the Muslim elite encouraged depoliticisation, taking up seemingly noble but largely inconsequential causes with little bearing on the lives of ordinary members of the community. There was no room for mass protests or collective solidarity in this version of Muslim politics. Another India explores this elite betrayal, whose consequences are still felt by India's 200 million Muslims today
