A New Global Tide of Rising Social Protest? The Early Twenty-first Century in World Historical Perspective Sahan Savas Karatasli, Johns Hopkins University Sefika Kumral, Johns Hopkins University Beverly Silver, Johns Hopkins University Contact Information: Beverly J. Silver Department of Sociology The Johns Hopkins University Baltimore, MD 21218 [email protected] 410-516-7635 Paper presented at the Eastern Sociological Society Annual Meeting (as part of Mini-conference on Globalization in Uncertain Times) Baltimore, MD, February 22-25, 2018 (Session 216: February 24, noon-1:30 pm) 1 A New Global Tide of Rising Social Protest? The Early Twenty-first Century in World Historical Perspective I. The Problem and Its Significance A (Puzzling) Resurgence of Labor and Social Unrest: During the past three decades, there had been an almost complete consensus in the social science literature that labor movements worldwide were in a severe (many argued 'terminal') crisis (see for example, Sewell 1993; Zolberg 1995; Castells 1997; Gorz 2001). In a similar vein, the dominant position in the social movement literature was that "class" had become largely irrelevant as an organizing principle for collective action and social movement organization (see, e.g., Larana et al 1994; Pakulski and Waters 1996; for a critique see Rosenhek and Shalev 2014). In the past several years, however, there has been a growing chorus among sociologists pointing to the resurgence of labor protest in various parts of the world (see for example, Milkman 2006, Chun 2009, Silver and Zhang 2009, Agarwala 2013, Zhang 2015, Ness 2015). Likewise, beginning around 2010, major newspapers were suddenly filled with reports of labor unrest around the world, after a two decade lull in such reports (Silver 2003, 126; Silver 2014). -

Chassidus on the Chassidus on the Parsha +
LIGHTS OF OUR RIGHTEOUS TZADDIKIM בעזרת ה ' יתבר A Tzaddik, or righteous person , makes everyone else appear righteous before Hashem by advocating for them and finding their merits. Kedushas Levi, Parshas Noach (Bereishis 7:1) VA’ES CHA NAN _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah Deciphered Messages The Torah tells us ( Shemos 19:19) that when the Jewish people gathered at Mount Sinai to receive the Torah , “Moshe spoke and Hashem answered him with a voice.” The Gemora (Berochos 45a) der ives from this pasuk the principle that that an interpreter should not speak more loudly than the reader whose words he is translating. Tosafos immediately ask the obvious question: from that pasuk we see actually see the opposite: that the reader should n ot speak more loudly than the interpreter. We know, says Rav Levi Yitzchok, that Moshe’s nevua (prophecy) was different from that of the other nevi’im (prophets) in that “the Shechina was speaking through Moshe’s throat”. This means that the interpretation of the nevuos of the other nevi’im is not dependent on the comprehension of the people who hear it. The nevua arrives in this world in the mind of the novi and passes through the filter of his perspectives. The resulting message is the essence of the nevua. When Moshe prophesied, however, it was as if the Shechina spoke from his throat directly to all the people on their particular level of understanding. Consequently, his nevuos were directly accessible to all people. In this sense then, Moshe was the rea der of the nevua , and Hashem was the interpreter. -

Kindly direct all inquiries regarding the thesis to the copyright holder or the unit which grants the doctorate. &#" From the very beginning, this research project has taken place in a strange zone between life and death, regeneration and destruction. It has been carried out in warm memory of Anita Jarl and her little son Julian whose sudden death, less than a week before I took up the long awaited and long wished for PhD position, brought a sadness into my life that I had not yet known, and in memory of Professor Eduardo Archetti who fell seriously ill at the same time. The exuberant guardian father at the Department of Social Anthropology in Oslo was meant to be my supervisor. I am forever grateful for the advice that he found time to give me, and even more for having the opportunity to experience – the last years of his career and the first years of mine – the personal and professional warmth that he radiated. -

1 Revolutionary Pasts
Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48184-7 — Revolutionary Pasts Ali Raza Excerpt More Information 1 Revolutionary Pasts To articulate what is past does not mean to recognize ‘how it really was’. It means to take control of a memory, as it flashes in a moment of danger.1 Walter Benjamin, On the Concept of History Working on a maize farm deep in the Argentinian heartland in the year 1929, Naina Singh Dhoot was taken aback by an unexpected visit from Rattan Singh, a communist, roving revolutionary, and leader of the Ghadar Party. Prior to his visit, Rattan Singh had already toured Europe, the United States, Canada, and Panama for the party, which had initially been founded by Indian immigrants in North America in 1913 with the single-minded purpose of freeing India from British rule. In the 1920s, the party established links with the Communist International, which enabled it to send its cadres and recruits to Moscow for political and military training. As part of its mission of recruiting new cadres, the party sent its emissaries to Indian diasporas across the world, from North and South America to East Africa and South East Asia. This was how Naina Singh met Rattan Singh, the party’s emissary extraordinaire. Born and raised in the village of Dhoot Kalan, Punjab, Naina Singh had migrated to Singapore in 1927 in search of work. It was in Singapore that he first learnt the poetry of revolution. There, he heard of a collec- tion of poems by Punjabi labourers and farmworkers in North America. The Ghadar di Gunj (Reverberations of Rebellion) lamented the chains of imperialist slavery that bound India and Indians.
