Jonathan Z. Smith on Religion

Jonathan Z. Smith on Religion

Jonathan Z. Smith (1938–2017) was unquestionably one of the most important and influential voices of critical reflection within the academic study of religion in the last century. His work explored the nature and history of religious phenomena across cultures—from ancient Jewish practices to Maori cults from early Christianity to mass suicide in the twentieth century—while critiquing the assumptions underlying the very category of religion. This important volume offers the first full critical assessment of the influence of Jonathan Z. Smith’s thought on the subject of religion. Christopher I. Lehrich systematically examines and develops a critical overview that will assist others in engaging more fully with Smith’s scholarship. This book is an essential reading for students and scholars interested in the work of Jonathan Z. Smith as well as the history of religion more broadly. | Jonathan Z. Smith on Religion

Volume 19 Tome VII: Kierkegaard Bibliography Figures I to Z

Volume 19 Tome VII: Kierkegaard Bibliography Figures I to Z

The long tradition of Kierkegaard studies has made it impossible for individual scholars to have a complete overview of the vast field of Kierkegaard research. The large and ever increasing number of publications on Kierkegaard in the languages of the world can be simply bewildering even for experienced scholars. The present work constitutes a systematic bibliography which aims to help students and researchers navigate the seemingly endless mass of publications. The volume is divided into two large sections. Part I which covers Tomes I-V is dedicated to individual bibliographies organized according to specific language. This includes extensive bibliographies of works on Kierkegaard in some 41 different languages. Part II which covers Tomes VI-VII is dedicated to shorter individual bibliographies organized according to specific figures who are in some way relevant for Kierkegaard. The goal has been to create the most exhaustive bibliography of Kierkegaard literature possible and thus the bibliography is not limited to any specific time period but instead spans the entire history of Kierkegaard studies. | Volume 19 Tome VII: Kierkegaard Bibliography Figures I to Z

Volume 18 Tome III: Kierkegaard Secondary Literature English L-Z

Volume 18 Tome III: Kierkegaard Secondary Literature English L-Z

In recent years interest in the thought of Kierkegaard has grown dramatically and with it the body of secondary literature has expanded so quickly that it has become impossible for even the most conscientious scholar to keep pace. The problem of the explosion of secondary literature is made more acute by the fact that much of what is written about Kierkegaard appears in languages that most Kierkegaard scholars do not know. Kierkegaard has become a global phenomenon and new research traditions have emerged in different languages countries and regions. The present volume is dedicated to trying to help to resolve these two problems in Kierkegaard studies. Its purpose is first to provide book reviews of some of the leading monographic studies in the Kierkegaard secondary literature so as to assist the community of scholars to become familiar with the works that they have not read for themselves. The aim is thus to offer students and scholars of Kierkegaard a comprehensive survey of works that have played a more or less significant role in the research. Second the present volume also tries to make accessible many works in the Kierkegaard secondary literature that are written in different languages and thus to give a glimpse into various and lesser-known research traditions. The six tomes of the present volume present reviews of works written in Catalan Chinese Czech Danish Dutch English Finnish French Galician German Greek Hebrew Hungarian Italian Japanese Norwegian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Slovak Spanish and Swedish. | Volume 18 Tome III: Kierkegaard Secondary Literature English L-Z

Forced Labour in Colonial Africa A. T. Nzula I. I. Potekhin and A. Z. Zusmanovich

Forced Labour in Colonial Africa A. T. Nzula I. I. Potekhin and A. Z. Zusmanovich

Originally published for the first time in English in 1979 this book represents one of the earliest Marxist analyses of the impact that colonialism had on Africa during the first half century that followed the Scramble. Nzula’s co-authored book together with all his writings in the Negro Worker are assembled here. The political experience of its African co-author resulted in a book which is alight with commitment to the liberation of the Continent yet always tempered by an explicit theoretical understanding of capitalism in its imperialist phase. The book opens with an outline of Africa’s role in the world economic system. Successive chapters reveal how Western capitalism conjured up a brutally exploited working class and dispossessed peasantry throughout the African continent. Each major region of Black Africa is analysed. Meticulous information as to the facts of oppression and many of the early urban and rural struggles against colonialism before the Second World War is set out. Robin Cohen’s introduction is a valuable summation of Nzula’s life and of the background to this book. The appendices bring together many of Nzula’s little known writings. | Forced Labour in Colonial Africa A. T. Nzula I. I. Potekhin and A. Z. Zusmanovich

The Jews and Modern Capitalism

The Jews and Modern Capitalism

Since its first appearance in Germany in 1911 Jews and Modern Capitalism has provoked vehement criticism. As Samuel Z. Klausner emphasizes the lasting value of Sombart's work rests not in his results-most of which have long since been disproved-but in his point of departure. Openly acknowledging his debt to Max Weber Sombart set out to prove the double thesis of the Jewish foundation of capitalism and the capitalist foundation of Judaism. Klausner placing Sombart's work in its historical and societal context examines the weaknesses and strengths of Jews and Modern Capitalism. | The Jews and Modern Capitalism
