Cosmopolitan Anxieties: Turkish Challenges to Citizenship and Belonging in Germany
Ruth Mandel

Duke University Press, 2008

In Cosmopolitan Anxieties, Ruth Mandel explores Germany's relation to the more than two million Turkish immigrants and their descendants living within its borders. Based on her two decades of ethnographic research in Berlin, she argues that Germany's reactions to the postwar Turkish diaspora have been charged, inconsistent, and resonant of past problematic encounters with a Jewish "other." Mandel examines the tensions in Germany between ...

1 review

The MIT Press, 2005

An Insightful Look at One Artist's Enuring Contribution
Kobena Mercer has long been a strong presence in the ongoing debate and discourse around issues of race and representation in the practice of artists of color. Much of his work has focused on the postmodern moment. With this important book Mercer now brings his incisive intelligence to bear on one of the premier African American modernists, Romare Bearden. It is no surprise that Mercer has ...

Nationalists, Cosmopolitans, and Popular Music in Zimbabwe (Chicago Studies in Ethnomusicology)

Thomas Turino

University Of Chicago Press, 2000

comprehensive, but reader be advised
This book deservedly stands as the most comprehensive treatment of Zimbabwean popular music in the latter half of the 20th century. Over the years Rhodesian and then Zimbabwean authorities maintained amazingly complete archives of recordings and various governmental initiatives, even regional festivals, so Turino could draw upon an enviable treasure trove of material. With such a wealth of ...

Cosmopolitan Vision
Ulrich Beck, Ciaran Cronin

Polity, 2006

In this new book, Ulrich Beck develops his now widely used concepts of second modernity, risk society and reflexive sociology into a radical new sociological analysis of the cosmopolitan implications of globalization. Beck draws extensively on empirical and theoretical analyses of such phenomena as migration, war and terror, as well as a range of literary and historical works, to weave a rich discursive web in which analytical, critical and ...

Perpetual Peace: Essays on Kant's Cosmopolitan Ideal (Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought)

The MIT Press, 1997

In 1795 Immanuel Kant published an essay entitled "Toward Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch." The immediate occasion for the essay was the March 1795 signing of the Treaty of Basel by Prussia and revolutionary France, which Kant condemned as only "the suspension of hostilities, not a peace ." In the essay, Kant argues that it is humankind's immediate duty to solve the problem of violence and enter into the cosmopolitan ideal of a ...

Kamasutra but not 5 star
Some of the positions look just the same as others with slight differences, but if you read the descriptions, they really are different enough to be very significant.

Cosmopolitan: A Bartender's Life

Toby Cecchini

Broadway, 2004

This was a great read -- don't trust the naysayers.
I can tell you first hand that tending a bar only LOOKS like it might be fun. Cecchini brilliantly articulates why I hated bartending in a poignant page and a half. I read each and every bad review of this book here but I read it anyway and I can also tell you that all of the criticisms can be safely dismissed out of hand. Dictionaries are full of "$10,000 words" and -- in case you've never ...

Increasing global economic integration and recent military interventions in the name of human rights have forced questions of global justice into political discussions. Is the unequal distribution of wealth across the globe just? What's wrong with imperialism? Are the most indebted countries obligated to pay back their loans to international financial institutions?
