Paradigm UBC PressPublishers Monsters to Destroy The Neoconservative War on Terror and Sin Ira Chernus Popular Contention in Great Britain Charles Tilly This book gets at the deeper stories about how we view the world and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of it. It’s all the more important when we’re being told to embrace a future of perpetual war. – Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen Ira Chernus tackles the question of why U.S. national security policy has the paradoxical effect of making the country less safe and secure. His answer: The “war on terror” is based not on realistic appraisals of the conflict, but rather on “stories” that neoconservative policymakers tell about human nature and a world divided between absolute good and absolute evil.

Gonzales and Richard Delgado The Politics of Fear examines key factors in the recent electoral success of neo-conservative parties and candidates, including globalization, new technologies, and a far-reaching network of rightwing think tanks and foundations.

Aronowitz draws on his vast knowledge of history and political theory and from currents of political change around the globe, from the traditions of the European left to the newest political trends in Latin America that have challenged the “death of socialism.” Demonstrating why Democrats lose when they cling to centrism and compromise their core values, this book shows us what a new left party in America would look like. 2006, 240 pages, 5 ½ x 8 ½” 1-59451-311-2 / 978-1-59451-311-4 paper $24.95 CRO 62 www.ubcpress.ca / 1 877 864 8477
Paradigm Publishers UBC Press Social Movements, 1768-2004 Charles Tilly Contentious Politics Charles Tilly and Sidney Tarrow Westerners invented social movements during the 18th century, but after that social movements became vehicles of popular politics across the world. By locating social movements in history, prize-winning social scientist Charles Tilly provides rich and often surprising insights into the origins of contemporary social movement practices, relations of social movements to democratization, and likely futures for social movements. Contents 1 Social Movements as Politics 2 Inventions of the Social Movement 3 Nineteenth Century 4 Adventures 5 Twentieth-century Expansion and Transformation 6 Social Movements 7 Enter the Twenty-first Century 8 Democratization and Social Movements 9 Futures of Social Movements 2005, 262 pages, 6 x 9” 1-59451-043-1 / 978-1-59451-043-4 paper $23.95 CRO Revolutions, social movements, religious and ethnic conflict, nationalism and civil rights, and transnational movements are forms of contentious politics that combine in Contentious Politics. The book presents a set of analytical tools and procedures for study, comparison, and explanation of these very different sorts of contention. Drawing on many historical and contemporary cases, the book shows that similar principles describe and explain a wide variety of struggles as well as many more routine forms of politics. Tilly and Tarrow have written the book to introduce readers to an exciting new program of political and sociological analysis. Charles Tilly is Joseph L. Buttenwieser Professor of Social Science at Columbia University and is the author most recently of Social Movements: 1768- 2004 (Paradigm 2004). Sidney Tarrow is Maxwell M. Upson Professor of Government and Professor of Sociology at Cornell. His latest books are The New Transnational Activism (Cambridge University Press, 2005) and (with Donatella della Porta, eds.) Transnational Protest And Global Activism (Rowman and Littlefield, 2004). 2006, 224 pages, 6 x 9” 1-59451-246-9 / 978-1-59451-246-9 paper $27.95 CRO www.ubcpress.ca / 1 877 864 8477 63
