Stanford Studies in Human Rights A book series edited by Mark Goodale Campaigning for Justice Human Rights Advocacy in Practice Jo Becker Human rights advocates have had remarkable success establishing new international laws, securing concrete changes in policies and practices, and transforming the terms of public debate. Yet too often, the strategies these advocates have employed are not broadly shared. Written from a practitioner’s perspective, this book explores the strategies behind some of the most innovative human rights campaigns of recent years. “A singular contribution to the literature on activism.” —Elazar Barkan, Columbia University “This book is a gold mine. It provides invaluable insights into how human rights campaigns work, distills lessons gleaned from dozens of veteran advocates, and illustrates the rich diversity of the human rights movement today. It will be a terrific resource not only for those just entering human rights work, but also for those with years of experience.” —Jody Williams, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Co-founder, International Campaign to Ban Landmines 320 pp., 2012 9780804774512 Paper $24.95 $19.96 sale 9780804774505 Cloth $85.00 $68.00 sale Values in Translation Human Rights and the Culture of the World Bank Galit A. Sarfaty Values in Translation analyzes the organizational culture of the World Bank and addresses the question of why it has not adopted a human rights framework. Academics and social advocates have typically focused on legal restrictions in the Bank’s Articles of Agreement. This work’s anthropological analysis sheds light on internal obstacles including the employee incentive system and a clash of expertise between lawyers and economists over how to define human rights and justify their relevance to the Bank’s mission. “Why has the World Bank been so slow to take on human rights? This fascinating ethnography follows the movement of people and ideas within the Bank to show how human rights were ‘economized’ in order to be heard. It offers great insight into the way organizations work and into the cultural dimensions of law.” —Sally Engle Merry, New York University 216 pp., 2 tables, 2012 9780804763523 Paper $24.95 $19.96 sale 9780804763516 Cloth $80.00 $64.00 sale Disquieting Gifts Humanitarianism in New Delhi Erica Bornstein “In a time when humanitarianism seems to have become a prerogative of the Western world, Erica Bornstein’s inquiry into philanthropy in India opportunely provides novel insights on charity. Her rich ethnography reveals the complexity of the contemporary moral economies of the gift.” —Didier Fassin, Institute for Advanced Study 232 pp., 2012 9780804770026 Paper $22.95 $18.36 sale 9780804770019 Cloth $70.00 $56.00 sale Stones of Hope How African Activists Reclaim Human Rights to Challenge Global Poverty Edited by Lucie E. White and Jeremy Perelman “Stones of Hope, a methodologically innovative and illuminating collection of essays by leading activists and scholars, demonstrates how human rights strategies can have a sustainable impact on the livelihoods and well-being of the world’s most marginalized people.” —Mary Robinson, former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights 280 pp., 2010 9780804769204 Paper $24.95 $19.96 sale 9780804769198 Cloth $70.00 $56.00 sale 16 Law and Society
Slam School Learning Through Conflict in the Hip- Hop and Spoken Word Classroom Bronwen E. Low Exploring the often difficult relations between hip-hop and schooling, Slam School builds a new and surprising argument: the very reasons teachers and administrators might resist the deliberate introduction of hip-hop into the planned curriculum are what make hip-hop so pedagogically vital. “Low not only synthesizes hiphop and spoken word history and culture, she brings them to life through a dynamic pedagogical portrait examining the complexities and power of creating a curriculum around youth culture. Slam School is a must read for educators seeking to bridge the gap between the coffee house and the school house.” —Maisha T. Winn, Emory University 208 pp., 2 figures, 2011 9780804763660 Paper $21.95 $17.56 sale 9780804763653 Cloth $65.00 $52.00 sale Racialized Identities Race and Achievement among African American Youth Na’ilah Suad Nasir Unique in its attention to the challenges that social and educational stratification pose, as well as to the opportunities that extracurricular activities can offer for African American students’ access to learning, this book brings a deeper understanding of the local and fluid aspects of academic, racial, and ethnic identities. “This provocative book contributes in important ways to understanding the pressing developmental challenges that all young people face as they construct a sense of identity that they can carry across different contexts. Most importantly, Nasir considers the implications of this for teaching and creating optimal learning environments inside and outside of school.” —Marjorie Orellana, University of California, Los Angeles 232 pp., 2011 9780804760195 Paper $22.95 $18.36 sale 9780804760188 Cloth $70.00 $56.00 sale Global Citizenship and the University Advancing Social Life and Relations in an Interdependent World Robert A. Rhoads and Katalin Szelényi With the increasing integration of global economies and societies, the nation-state is no longer the sole force shaping and defining citizenship. Drawing on case studies of universities in China, the United States, Hungary, and Argentina, this book moves beyond a narrow political definition of citizenship to address the cultural and economic complexities of contemporary social life. Rhoads and Szelényi show how universities should be mindful of the possibilities for faculty and student involvement in the production, management, and application of knowledge, and how this in turn allows for an engagement as citizens that reflects serious considerations of the global context. “This vivid, thoughtful book advances arguments about the limits of territorial nationalism and the implications of those limits for globalizing universities. A path-breaking work.” —Simon Marginson, University of Melbourne 336 pp., 3 figures, 2011 9780804775427 Paper $24.95 $19.96 sale 9780804775410 Cloth $80.00 $64.00 sale Education and Society 17
