Key Features & Highlights1. New case studies covering five continents and drawing on anthropology,

gender studies, law, political science and sociology for a truly interdisciplinary collection

2. An important resource for students of anthropology, sociology and politics

DescriptionAt a glance, ‘borders’ and ‘boundaries’ may seem synonymous. But in the real (geopolitical) world, they coexist as distinct, albeit overlapping entities: the former a state’s delimitation of territory; the latter the social delineation of differences.

The refugee crisis in Europe showed how racial and ethnic boundaries are often instrumentalised to justify the strengthening of state borders - regardless of the cost in human life. But there are other, less tragic, examples that illustrate this overlapping as well, and ultimately demonstrate that the oft-differentiated spheres of borders and boundaries are best understood through their relationship to one another.

Deepening Divides explores this relationship from many distinct perspectives and national contexts, with case studies covering five continents and drawing on anthropology, gender studies, law, political science and sociology for a truly interdisciplinary collection.

Key Features & Highlights1. A history of the demise of Yugoslavia’s socialist experiment.2. Fills a much-needed gap in English language writing on Yugoslavia,

combining historical and radical political theory.

DescriptionYugoslavia’s twentieth-century bore witness to civil war, sharp ideological struggles and a series of ‘partisan ruptures’; revolutionary events that changed the face of Yugoslavian society, politics and culture, which were felt on a global level.

This book is a comprehensive historical and political analysis of the three major ruptures; the People’s Liberation Struggle during World War Two, the self-management model and the Non-Aligned Movement. In order to understand what provoked and what came out of these revolutionary ruptures, Gal Kirn examines the implications of communism and socialism’s productive relationship and the Yugoslavian ‘experiment’ of market socialism that marked the political and economic shift towards ‘post-socialism’ already in the 1960s; this crystallised new class coalitions that would later on - together with austerity politics - lead to the disintegration of Yugoslavia.

Filling a much-needed gap in English language literature, this book’s interrogation of the Yugoslav socialist experiment offers insights for left projects and democratic socialist discussions today, as well as historians of Yugoslavia and revolutionary movements.


Author BiographyGal Kirn is an open topic fellow at TU Dresden. He has edited books on neoliberalism, Althusser, Yugoslav black wave cinema and theories of post-Fordism. He is currently finishing the book The Partisan Counter Archive and editing a book on riots.

Key Features & Highlights1. A provocative critique of knowledge production on Russia’s politics,

focusing on British and US media coverage2. Exposes how a Cold War framework informs public perceptions of

Russia

DescriptionPresident Vladmir Putin is a figure of both fear and fascination in the Western imagination. In the minds of media pundits and commentators, he personifies Russia itself - a country riven with contradictions, enthralling and yet always a threat to world peace.

But recent propaganda images that define public debate around growing tensions with Russia are not new or arbitrary. Russia and the Media asks, what is the role of Western journalism in constructing a new kind of Cold War with Russia? Focusing on British and US media coverage of moments of crisis or co-operation between the West and Russia, Greg McLaughlin exposes how such a Cold War framework reshapes public perceptions of a major, competing power reasserting itself on the world stage.

Scrutinising events such as the Ukraine/Crimea crisis, the Skripal Poisoning and Russia’s military intervention in Syria, - as well as analysing media coverage of the 2018 Russian presidential election and build up to the 2018 World Cup - Russia and the Media makes a landmark intervention at the intersection of media studies and international relations.


Author BiographyGreg McLaughlin is an Associate of the Centre for Media Research at Ulster University. He is the author of The War Correspondent (Pluto, 2nd edition; 2016); and co-author with Stephen Baker of The Propaganda of Peace (Intellect; 2010) and The British Media and Bloody Sunday (Intellect; 2015).

Key Features & Highlights1. Draws upon Terwindt’s ethnographic research in Chile, Spain and the

USA2. Criticises the law and justice systems, with observations that have

implications for social movement activists, scholars and prosecutors

DescriptionHow does protest become criminalised? Applying an anthropological perspective to political and legal conflicts, Carolijn Terwindt urges us to critically question the underlying interests and logic of prosecuting protesters.

The book draws upon ethnographic research in Chile, Spain, and the United States to trace prosecutorial narratives in three protracted contentious episodes in liberal democracies. Terwindt examines the conflict between Chilean landowners and the indigenous Mapuche people, the Spanish state and the Basque independence movement, and the United States’ criminalisation of ‘eco-terrorists.’ Exploring how patterns and mechanisms of prosecutorial narrative emerge through distinct political, social and democratic contexts, Terwindt shines a light on how the prosecutorial narratives in each episode changed significantly over time.

Challenging law and justice systems and warning against relying on criminal law to deal with socio-political conflicts, Terwindt’s observations have implications for a wide range of actors and constituencies, including social movement activists, scholars, and prosecutors.


Author BiographyCarolijn Terwindt is Senior Legal Advisor on Business and Human Rights at the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights in Berlin. She has contributed articles to numerous journals and is the co-author with Chris van der Borgh of NGOs under Pressure in Partial Democracies (Palgrave Macmillan, 2014).
