Publisher: Yale University Press: 1997-08-25

Seller ID: M0300068190Z2

ISBN: 0300068190

Condition: VeryGood

The social sciences offer many insights into the causes of the intense ethnic conflicts that characterize the close of the twentieth century, but they also create obstacles to understanding these baffling problems, contends H. D. Forbes in this important book. Forbes takes a critical look at the "contact hypothesis"--the assumption commonly held by social scientists that increased contact between different ethnic groups gives each group more accurate information about the other and thus reduces friction.

Critical Theory (Traditions in Social Theory)

By: How, A.

Price: $112.61

Publisher: Red Globe Press: 2003-10-17

Seller ID: M0333751515Z3

ISBN: 0333751515

Condition: Good

This book examines the intellectual contribution made by Frankfurt School Critical Theory to our understanding of modern life. Thematically organized and offering a strong mix of historical and contemporary material, it considers the work of both the first and second generation. While the work of the latter is often taken to exceed that of the former, the author suggests that insights gleaned by both, regarding the human subject, offer a significant alternative to post-modern ideas.

Conceptualizing The West In International Relations: From Spengler to Said

By: O'Hagan, J.

Price: $107.31

Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan: 2002-06-15

Seller ID: M0333920376Z2

ISBN: 0333920376

Condition: VeryGood

West is a concept widely used in international relations, but we rarely reflect on what we mean by the term. Conceptions of and what the West is vary widely. This book examines conceptions of the West drawn from writers from diverse historical and intellectual contexts, revealing both interesting parallels and points of divergence. It also reflects on implications of these different perceptions of how we understand the role of the West, and its interactions with other civilizational identities.

Unthinking Modernity: Innis, McLuhan, and the Frankfurt School

By: Stamps, Judith

Price: $24.46

Publisher: McGill-Queen's University Press: 2001-05-31

Seller ID: M0773522433Z3

ISBN: 0773522433

Condition: Good

Like their European contemporaries, Innis and McLuhan worked toward a theory of how westerners have developed classifications through which they perceive the world. Moreover, Stamps shows that they used insights derived from their North American experience to add a new, media-based perspective to such a theory. Unthinking Modernity offers unique perspectives on the ways in which economics, politics, and media intertwine to create personal and social consciousness.
