Cambridge, MA: Blackwell Publishers, 1993 xiv, 231 pp. Bibliography, index. The author offers an exciting new approach to the study of both debt and development, focusing on the international debt crisis of the 1980s and 1990s, and its economic and geo-political consequences. The author demonstrates that interpretations of this crisis--and attempts to manage it--are themselves reflections of wider assumptions about the dynamics of development and the organization of the global economy.

Athens, GA: University of Georgia Press, 1995. xxix, 610 pp. Map, plates, endnotes, bibliography, index. A landmark work on grassroots activism during the civil rights movement. Hailed as one of the best treatments of the civil rights movement, this book is the most comprehensive and detailed study yet of the movement at the state level. Adam Fairclough marshals a wealth of research to recount more than five decades of struggle for justice and equality in the South's most politically intriguing, ethnically diverse, and racially complex state. This sweeping and dramatic narrative ranges in time from the founding of the New Orleans branch of the NAACP in 1915 to the beginning of Edwin Edwards's first term as governor in 1972. Fairclough takes readers to the grass roots of the movement as it was defiantly advanced and resisted in scores of places like the New Orleans shipyards, the voter registrar's office in Opelousas, and the Little Union Baptist Church in Shreveport. This book--winner of the Lillian Smith Award, A Choice Outstanding Academic Book Award, the Gustavus Myers Award, and the Louisiana Literary Award--is a dynamic, landmark work on the civil rights movement. It impressively demonstrates that by studying the contours of grassroots activism, we can gain a much clearer picture of the struggle for racial justice.

Paris: Editions de l'Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales, 2002. pp. 207-720. Bibliographical footnotes; summaries in English and French. 20 scholarly essays primarily in English and French (including 2 in Russian, 1 in German). For rather obvious reasons, the place, role and functioning of the Soviet political police have long remained a "blind spot" in the history of the country which itself cannot be understood without an in-depth investigation of this institution, whose creation goes back to the early beginnings of the new regime. The present volume brings together the first results of ongoing research by French, Russian, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, American, British, German and Dutch scholars. These studies are all based on important investigations in the archives of the former Soviet Union. They shed a completely new light on such crucial aspects as the relationships between the political police and the communist party, forced labor and the concentration camps system, surveillance and control of the population, gathering of information, the relationships between the political and criminal police, and the mechanisms of terror and State violence. Most of these contributions were presented at an international colloquium held two years ago at the Maison des sciences de l'homme in Paris and made possible by the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute, l'Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Filosofici, and the Centre d'études du monde russe, soviétique et post-soviétique of the Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales.

New York: Oxford University Press, 1997 xxii, 284 pp. Notes, references. Global population increase and production and consumption patterns and levels make the crucial issues first raised by Malthus two hundred years ago more important than ever. The position of the papers in this book is that analysis of population and its growth or decline, together with its economic and social development, must be made at the global, as well as at regional levels. In this book, twelve distinguished scholars from different fields take up three main themes: the Malthusian conflict, factors underlying fertility changes, and development issues related to the population-environment nexus. They explore in depth the connections between population size and growth, environmental degradation, and poverty, taking into account the effects of increasing competition for natural resources on social structures. The household unit itself also comes under scrutiny, with the examination of issues such as inequality between the genders, and between children, young adults, and the old. Minor rubbing to covers..

Westport, CT: Praeger, 1996 xxi, 168 pp. Bibliography, index. The United States and India--the most powerful and the most populous constitutional democracies, respectively--have more in common than is apparent from a casual comparison of life in, say, Agra and Omaha. While the material circumstances of an average family in the one city may be dramatically different from the circumstances of its counterpart in the other, the political cultures that protect and sometimes encroach upon the freedoms of each family are in many ways remarkably similar. The arrogant ambitions of one of Agra's representatives in New Delhi can likely find a match in the designs of one of Omaha's legislators in Washington, D.C. So, too, could we expect to find sincere concern for their constituents in the hearts of other political figures on Capitol Hill and in the Subcontinent. In this probing critical comparison of political culture in the United States and India, the author argues that much can be learned about the parochial roots and global expansion of representative government by studying both the successes and the failures--both the promise and disappointment--of these two great experiments in constitutional democracy.
