"Attempts by people to enact their political beliefs in their daily lives have become commonplace in contemporary US culture, in spheres ranging from shopping habits to romantic attachments. This groundbreaking book examines how collective social movements have cultivated individual practices of "lifestyle politics" as part of their strategies of resistance, and the tensions they must navigate in doing so. Drawing on feminism and other movements that claim that "the personal is political," the book explores how radical anarchist activists position their own lifestyles within projects of resistance. Various lifestyle practices, from consumption to personal style to sexual relationships, are studied to address how identity and cultural practices can be used as tools of political dissent.An accessible and provocative text, Lifestyle Politics and Radical Activism blends theory with empirical materials to highlight issues that are important not only to anarchists, but also to anyone struggling for social change. This unique analysis will contribute to the development of anarchist theory and practice and will appeal to anyone interested in political activism and social movements"-- Provided by publisher.

Dieses Wörterbuch stellt den lexikalisch-semantischen Bestand des Demokratiediskurses der späten 1960er Jahre dar. Dieser Demokratiediskurs ist insofern als ein gesellschaftliches Umbruchphänomen zu beschreiben, als in den späten 1960er Jahren die intellektuelle und die studentische Linke Partizipationsansprüche einer konsequenten Demokratie für kurze Zeit in hoher kommunikativer Dichte und Intensität erhob. Die Folgen dieser demokratischen Neukonzeptionen prägen seither die Gesellschaften hinsichtlich ihrer Demokratiemodelle, in Bezug etwa auf Teilhabe, auf die Unabhängigkeit von parlamentarischer Politikpraxis sowie hinsichtlich des Anspruchs auf gesellschaftliche Mitgestaltung. Die Schlüsselwörter, in deren Bedeutung sich dieser Diskurs verdichtet, werden nach den spezifischen Prinzipien eines Diskurswörterbuchs, d.h. vor allem im Sinn eines diskursiven semantischen Netzes, beschrieben.

Stephen H. Norwood has written the first systematic study of the American far left's role in both propagating and combating antisemitism. This book covers Communists from 1920 onward, Trotskyists, the New Left and its black nationalist allies, and the contemporary remnants of the New Left. Professor Norwood analyzes the deficiencies of the American far left's explanations of Nazism and the Holocaust. He explores far left approaches to militant Islam, from condemnation of its fierce antisemitism in the 1930s to recent apologies for jihad. Norwood discusses the far left's use of long-standing theological and economic antisemitic stereotypes that the far right also embraced. The study analyzes the far left's antipathy to Jewish culture, as well as its occasional efforts to promote it. He considers how early Marxist and Bolshevik paradigms continued to shape American far left views of Jewish identity, Zionism, Israel, and antisemitism.

American Muslims have played an important role in helping to counter violent extremism (CVE) and support for al-Qa'ida, and are increasingly using the Internet and social media to these ends. Discussions with a number of Muslim leaders active in social media suggest that it is possible to expand such efforts even further, and doing so is a major objective of the August 2011 White House strategy to counter violent extremism. RAND researchers reviewed literature and interviewed American Muslims experienced in social media to understand and explain key challenges facing Muslim activists against extremism, and to identify ways in which the public and private sector can help empower CVE voices online. Their recommendations include reducing the national security focus of CVE where possible: addressing sources of mistrust within the Muslim community, focusing engagement and education on those influential in social media, and enhancing both government and private-sector funding and engagement.
