 Laura E. Evans, "Power from Powerlessness: Tribal Governments, Institutional Niches, and American Federalism" English | ISBN: 019974274X | 2011 | 256 pages | PDF | 1376 KB As American Indian tribes seek to overcome centuries of political and social marginalization, they face daunting obstacles. The successes of some tribal casinos have lured many outside observers into thinking that gambling revenue alone can somehow mend the devastation of culture, community, natural resources, and sacred spaces. The reality is quite different. Most tribal officials operate with meager resources and serve impoverished communities with stark political disadvantages. Yet we find examples of Indian tribes persuading states, localities, and the federal government to pursue policy change that addresses important tribal concerns. How is it that Indian tribes sometimes succeed against very dim prospects?
 Ihsan Yilmaz, "Populist and Pro-Violence State Religion: The Diyanet's Construction of Erdoğanist Islam in Turkey " English | ISBN: 9811667063 | 2022 | 343 pages | PDF | 6 MB This book explores state-religion relations under a populist authoritarian ruling party in Turkey. In doing so, it investigates how the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) instrumentalizes state-controlled religion to further, defend, legitimatize and propagate its authoritarian populist political agenda in a constitutionally secular nation-state. To exemplify this, the authors examine the Friday sermons delivered weekly in every mosque in Turkey by the Turkish State's Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet). By analyzing all sermons delivered between 2010-2021, the book shows how the Diyanet has enthusiastically adopted AKP's increasingly Islamist, authoritarian, civilisationist, militarist and pro-violence populism since 2010, and how it has tried to socially engineer beliefs in line with this ideology.  Marcia Macaulay, "Populism and Populist Discourse in North America" English | ISBN: 3031085213 | 2022 | 279 pages | PDF | 4 MB This book examines the origins of populism in Canada and the United States and its development into a powerful and at times disturbing political force. Focus is on five historical periods: The Populist Party of the United States in the 1890s, Prairie Populism in Canada during the early and mid-20th century, the Reform Party of Canada in the 1980s and 90s, the 'left' and 'right' populism of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump in the early 21st century, and the phenomenon of Ford Nation in modern day Ontario, Canada. The author extends Ernesto Laclau's analysis of populism as a 'logic' in

Warren Montag, "Pierre Macherey and the Case of Literary Production" English | ISBN: 081014512X | 2022 | 232 pages | PDF | 3 MB This collection revisits A Theory of Literary Production (1966) to show how Pierre Macherey's remarkable-and still provocative-early work can contribute to contemporary discussions about the act of reading and the politics of formal analysis. Across a series of historically and philosophically contextualized readings, the volume's contributors interrogate Macherey's work on a range of pressing issues, including the development of a theory of reading and criticism, the relationship between the spoken and the unspoken, the labor of poetic determination and of literature's resistance to ideological context, the literary relevance of a Spinozist materialism, the process of racial subjectification and the ontology of Blackness, and a theorization of the textual surface.  Phytohortology (Current natural sciences) by Shanan HE, Zuoshuang ZHANG English | 2021 | ISBN: 2759825302 | 842 Pages | True PDF | 251 MB  Phyto-Oxylipins: Metabolism, Physiological Roles, and Profiling Techniques English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032327553 | 317 Pages | PDF (True) | 32 MB Oxylipins are an important class of signaling molecules in plants, which play an important role in plant defence and innate immunity. Oxylipins have critical roles in plant growth and plant responses to physical damage caused by herbivores, insects, and pathogenic microbes. Over the last decade, our understanding of oxylipin production, metabolism, and function, particularly jasmonates, has advanced considerably. Jasmonates have provided further mechanistic insights into enzyme function and signalling cascades. Other oxylipins, such as hydroxy fatty acids, have recently been shown to exhibit individual signaling features and crosstalk with other phytohormones. |
