Values, Pluralism, and Pragmatism: Themes from the Work of Matthew J. Brown (Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science #347)
by Jamie Shaw Jonathan Y. Tsou Carla FehrThis book offers eighteen original historical and philosophical essays focused on values in science, scientific pluralism, and pragmatism. These themes have been central in the work of Matthew J. Brown, and the book frames these topics through an engagement with Brown's broadly ranging work on values in science. The themes of this book are integrated and unified in the pragmatic and value-laden ideal of science defended by Professor Brown in his fascinating 2020 book, Science and Moral Imagination. Brown's ideal of moral imagination prescribes that scientists should recognize the contingencies in their work as unforced choices, examine morally salient aspects of these decisions, recognize the various interests of relevant stakeholders, explore and construct alternative options, and exercise fair and warranted value judgments to guide those decisions. The interdisciplinary essays in this volume engage with different aspects of Brown's philosophical research on scientific values as well as his historical research on figures such as John Dewey and Paul K. Feyerabend. With a fresh focus on topics such as moral imagination, inductive risk, and epistemic priority in various socially salient contexts (e.g., artificial intelligence, psychiatry, segregation research), this book is of great interest to a broad audience of researchers working in philosophy of science, philosophy of medicine, history and philosophy of science, and science and technology studies.
Foundations of Consumer Behavior: Insights from Cross-Cultural Contexts (International Marketing and Management Research)
by Richard P. Bagozzi Attila YaprakThis book delves into the intricate aspects of consumer behavior, exploring constructs such as attitudes, values, and identity through comprehensive literature reviews. It extends this exploration to encompass cross-cultural consumer behavior constructs, including ethnocentrism, cosmopolitanism, affinity, and animosity. The authors argue that consumer behavior often attempts to derive and apply basic knowledge that applies in various senses to all or nearly all cultures, but at the same time must be qualified by introducing specific aspects of cultures to improve the fit and predictions of general theory. This means introducing in existing theories moderating variables and processes that condition the explanations and forecasts that theory makes with cultural knowledge as needed, as well as at times attempting to derive theories that infuse cultural within the basic psychological and social processes that constitute consumer behavior.Moreover, the text investigates howconsumers learn about and adopt new technologies as well as the role of social media and AI in consumer behavior. Bridging consumer behavior and management topics with strategic insights, this work will be of great interest to students and scholars alike who are interested in the role of culture in consumer behavior.

Contesting Zion: The Vatican, American Catholics, and the Partition of Palestine (McGill-Queen's Studies in the History of Religion)
by Adrian CianiThe modern relationship between the Vatican and the State of Israel is rooted in a long history of hostility between Judaism and Roman Catholicism. Through the centuries, popes and theologians marginalized the Jewish people, assigning them collective guilt for the death of Jesus Christ and claiming that the sacred territory of Palestine was the true patrimony of the Roman Catholic Church. With the advent of political Zionism in the nineteenth century, Catholic fears of a Jewish-dominated Palestine were renewed.Contesting Zion examines the relationship between the Vatican and the Zionist movement from the Balfour Declaration in 1917 to the first decade of Israeli statehood. Adrian Ciani considers the transnational nature of Catholic responses to Zionism and the creation of Israel, with a focus on the Catholic Church in the United States. From the 1920s through the 1950s, American Catholic leaders became crucial intermediaries between Washington and the Vatican. Speaking as both loyal American citizens and devout Catholics, they were uniquely positioned to articulate the Vatican’s policy objectives to the American government, including on the future of Palestine. American Catholics were also instrumental in advocating the church’s Palestine policy at the United Nations, playing a central role in the Holy See’s attempts to shape the twentieth-century international order.From the 1920s through the 1960s, Contesting Zion argues convincingly, American Catholics were at the forefront of the Vatican’s efforts to sway the fate of Palestine and to influence the future of the wider region.
Letters from the Afterlife: The Post-Holocaust Correspondence of Chava Rosenfarb and Zenia Larsson
by Goldie MorgentalerExtraordinarily little has been written about how women who survived the Holocaust dealt with life after the war, with the trauma of their immediate pasts, and with the debilitating sense of alienation they felt in a changed world. Letters from the Afterlife chronicles the experiences of two female Holocaust survivors as they adjusted to life in their adopted countries of Canada and Sweden, where they knew neither the language nor the culture.Childhood friends in Poland, Chava Rosenfarb and Zenia Larsson lived through the Lodz Ghetto and the death camps together, parting soon after their liberation from Bergen-Belsen. For the next fifty years, they continued their friendship through letters written in Polish, their only shared language. Despite their continuing traumas and insecurities, Rosenfarb and Larsson went on to become distinguished novelists in their respective languages, Yiddish and Swedish. In 1972, Larsson published her own side of the correspondence translated into Swedish, which caused a temporary rift in their enduring friendship.Letters from the Afterlife, with evocative translations by Krzysztof Majer and Sylvia Söderlind, makes these letters available to an English readership. Rosenfarb’s daughter, Goldie Morgentaler, provides an introduction that establishes the importance of the correspondence from both cultural and historical perspectives and an epilogue that continues Rosenfarb and Larsson’s story after their written exchange was abruptly but temporarily suspended in 1971.
The Wild Word: Animals in the Gospels
by Jaeda Charlotte CalawayPlaced in a manger as an infant, Jesus seems to have been born into a world teeming with animal life. Yet read the stories again. Does Mary ride a donkey? Does the centurion ride a horse? Animals are everywhere in the gospels, though not always in the ways we expect. Where animals are visible, their presence means more than we realize.The Wild Word explores the gospels’ well-known, forgotten, and missing portrayals of animals. Jaeda Calaway examines the many interactions between humans and other animals in these biblical texts, first considering forms of consumption, such as eating animals, wearing animal products, working animals, and sacrificing animals. She then turns to symbolic animality: how humans assign animal traits and archetypes to other humans, how divine and demonic powers intersect with wild and domestic animals, and what queer and trans readings of gospel animals can illuminate.Told and retold for two thousand years, the gospel stories are deeply imprinted on Western culture. The Wild Word reveals how many of their associations with animals, animality, and wildness remain with us today.

The Rising Generation: Gradual Abolition, Black Legal Culture, and the Making of National Freedom (Early American Studies)
by Sarah L. GronningsaterChronicles the history of emancipation through the cradle-to-grave experiences of a remarkable generation of black northernersThe Rising Generation chronicles the long history of emancipation in the United States through the cradle-to-grave experiences of a generation of black New Yorkers. Born into precarious freedom after the American Revolution and reaching adulthood in the lead-up to the Civil War, this remarkable generation ultimately played an outsized role in political and legal conflicts over slavery’s future, influencing both the nation’s path to the Civil War and changes to the US Constitution.Through exhaustive research in archives across New York State, where the largest enslaved population in the North resided at the time of the American Revolution, Sarah L. H. Gronningsater begins by exploring how English colonial laws shaped late eighteenth-century gradual abolition acts that freed children born to enslaved mothers. The boys and girls affected by these laws were born into a quasi-free legal status. They were technically not enslaved but were nonetheless required to labor as servants until they reached adulthood. Parents, teachers, and mentors of these “children of gradual abolition” found multiple ways to protect and nurture the boys and girls in their midst. They supported and founded schools, formed ties with white lawyers and abolitionists, petitioned local and state officials for better laws, guarded against kidnapping and cruelty, and shaped New York’s evolving identity as a free state. Black fathers used their votes during annual state elections in the early 1800s to influence legislative antislavery efforts. After many but not all black men in the state were disfranchised by a race-based property requirement in 1822, black citizens across New York organized to regain equal suffrage and to expand and protect other crucial, non-gendered features of state citizenship. Women and children were critical participants in these efforts.Gronningsater shows how, as the children of gradual abolition reached adulthood, they took the lessons of their youth into midcentury campaigns for legal equality, political inclusion, equitable common school education, and the expansion of freedom across the nation.
