  • 2015 University of Michigan Press Book Award Andrei Markovits
    2015 University of Michigan Press Book Award Andrei Markovits Arthur F. Thurnau Professor Karl W. Deutsch Collegiate Professor of Comparative Politics and German Studies Professor of Germanic Languages and Literature Professor of Political Science Professor of Sociology College of Literature, Science, and the Arts From Property to Family: American Dog Rescue and the Discourse of Compassion (2014) by political scientist, sociologist, and award-winning teacher Andrei Markovits and co-author Katherine Crosby is the culmination of his longtime scholarly interest in the "discourse of compassion," which alters the way we treat people and ideas previously scorned by the social mainstream. The authors posit that compassion has been a driving force in the reshaping of human–animal relations and public discourse, resulting in better conditions for animals in the United States. Breed specific canine rescue organizations, led primarily by women volunteers, are among the institutions that arose from this attitudinal and behavioral shift, identified by the authors as a “culture turn,” which led to an “animal turn” with animals becoming family members rather than property. From Property to Family, the first academic research on this development, explores the history of breed specific canine rescue and rescue of stigmatized breeds, topography of dog registrations by breed, the rise of anti-cruelty statutes between 1970 and 2013, regional differences in rescue efforts, and the role of social media, among other topics. Professor Markovits holds five degrees from Columbia University, a B.A., M.B.A., M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D., and received an honorary doctorate from Germany’s University of Lueneburg.

  • The Myth of “Ethnic Conflict”: Politics, Economics, and “Cultural” Violence
    The Myth of “Ethnic Conflict”: Politics, Economics, and “Cultural” Violence Edited by Beverly Crawford and Ronnie D. Lipschutz Description: In the last decade, discourses of economic and political liberalization and globalization have swept the world. Yet during this same period and all across the globe, many states are fragmenting and more than 30 ethnic and sectarian conflicts have displaced or killed millions of people — and far more civilians than soldiers. The authors in this volume argue that much of this violence is closely linked to those globalizing forces and demands for economic liberalization which have weakened states' capacities, both political and financial, for redistributing resources. As a result, many states have been forced to break established social contracts, often dramatically changing power relations in heterogeneous societies that previously had been relatively stable. Drawing on case studies from Asia, Eastern Europe, North Africa, the former Soviet Union, and the United States, the authors demonstrate how these distributional issues and power shifts have been experienced as ethnic and religious discrimination and are often at the root of identity politics and violent, so-called “cultural,” conflicts.
