    Community Criminology : Fundamentals of Spatial and Temporal Scaling, Ecological Indicators, and Selectivity Bias (2015)
    New York : NYU Press
    Details Availability
    Keywords: SOCIAL SCIENCE / Research ; Electronic books ; Electronic books
    Description / Table of Contents: For close to a century, the field of community criminology has examined the causes and consequences of community crime and delinquency rates. Nevertheless, there is still a lot we do not know about the dynamics behind these connections. In this book, Ralph Taylor argues that obstacles to deepening our understanding of community/crime links arise in part because most scholars have overlooked four fundamental concerns: how conceptual frames depend on the geographic units and/or temporal units used; how to establish the meaning of theoretically central ecological empirical indicators; and how to

    Adolescence, Discrimination, and the Law : Addressing Dramatic Shifts in Equality Jurisprudence (2015)

    Description / Table of Contents: In the wake of the civil rights movement, the legal system dramatically changed its response to discrimination based on race, gender, and other characteristics. It is now showing signs of yet another dramatic shift, as it moves from considering difference to focusing on neutrality. Rather than seeking to counter subjugation through special protections for groups that have been historically (and currently) disadvantaged, the Court now adopts a "colorblind" approach. Equality now means treating everyone the same way. This book explores these shifts and the research used to support civil rights c

    An Imperialist Love Story : Desert Romances and the War on Terror (2015)
    New York : NYU Press
    Details Availability
    Keywords: Romance fiction, American-History and criticism ; Erotic stories, American-History and criticism ; Heroes in literature ; Masculinity in literature ; Desire in literature ; Deserts in literature ; East and West in literature ; Social values in literature ; Electronic books
    Description / Table of Contents: A curious figure stalks the pages of a distinct subset of mass-market romance novels, aptly called "desert romances." Animalistic yet sensitive, dark and attractive, the desert prince or sheikh emanates manliness and raw, sexual power. In the years since September 11, 2001, the sheikh character has steadily risen in popularity in romance novels, even while depictions of Arab masculinity as backward and violent in nature have dominated the cultural landscape. An Imperialist Love Story contributes to the broader conversation about the legacy of orientalist representations of Arabs in Western

    Sitting in Darkness : Mark Twain, Asia, and Comparative Racialization (2015)
    New York : NYU Press
    Details Availability
    Keywords: Electronic books
    Description / Table of Contents: Perhaps the most popular of all canonical American authors, Mark Twain is famous for creating works that satirize American formations of race and empire. While many scholars have explored Twain's work in African Americanist contexts, his writing on Asia and Asian Americans remains largely in the shadows. In Sitting in Darkness, Hsuan Hsu examines Twain's career-long archive of writings about United States relations with China and the Philippines. Comparing Twain's early writings about Chinese immigrants in California and Nevada with his later fictions of slavery and anti-imperialist essays, he
