Disconnecting over New Media
Ilana Gershon
“If you are ending a relationship, what does it matter if the end-
ing is announced on cream stationery, by text message, or in a
face-to-face conversation? Breaking up is breaking up. Yet for
everyone I have spoken to about this, it matters: When some-
one says ‘she broke up with me by texting,’ not much more
needs to be said.

The Wartime Celebration of the
Empire’s 2,600th Anniversary
Kenneth J. Ruoff
In 1940, Japan was into its third year of war with China and rela-
tions with the United States were deteriorating, but it was a
heady time for the Japanese nonetheless. That year, the Japa-
nese commemorated the 2,600th anniversary of the founding
of the Empire of Japan. According to the imperial myth-history,
Emperor Jimmu, descended from the Sun Goddess Amaterasu,
established the “unbroken imperial line” in 660 BCE. In careful-
ly choreographed ceremonies throughout the empire, through
new public monuments, with visual culture, and through heri-
tage tourism, the Japanese celebrated the extension of impe-
rial rule under the 124th emperor, Hirohito.

Homeland, Identity, and Religion in Israel,
1925–2005
Nadav G. Shelef
“Evolving Nationalism is a terrific, even amazing book. It is well
ahead of the disciplinary curve. Shelef joins granular case
knowledge to well-conceived, theoretically rigorous social
science. But what makes the book unique is his sophisticated
and effective deployment of evolutionary theory to solve the
problem of explaining how seemingly deeply held ideological
beliefs change over time without being guided by elites or by
direct adaptation to changing incentives. His story about the
ideological trajectory of the Zionist right is fascinating, but his
analysis reaches far beyond the story and will have an impact
on the discipline as a whole.”—Ian S. Lustick, University of
Pennsylvania, author of Unsettled States, Disputed Lands

How Diversity Works on Campus
Susan E. Chase
Over the past three decades, colleges and universities have
committed to encouraging, embracing, and supporting diver-
sity as a core principle of their mission. But how are goals for
achieving and maintaining diversity actually met? What is the
role of students in this mission? When a university is committed
to diversity, what is campus culture like? In Learning to Speak,
Learning to Listen, Susan E. Chase portrays how undergradu-
ates at a predominantly white urban institution, which she calls
“City University” (a pseudonym), learn to speak and listen to
each other across social differences.

Contract Professionals in the New Economy
Debra Osnowitz
“Freelancing Expertise is a detailed and nuanced description of
important dimensions of contracting work today. Debra Os-
nowitz asks how contractors manage the risks that are entailed
when they lack a steady employment contract. While analyzing
the experiences of professional contractors in the fields of high
technology and publishing, Osnowitz provides comparisons to
people in similar occupations who are regular employees and
people in similar temporary employment relations but in differ-
ent occupations. Osnowitz’s understanding of how an external
labor market works is very original and cutting edge.”

“It may be hard for some to imagine an era when the water-
fronts clustered around New York City constituted America’s
dominant commercial port. Yet as late as the 1950s the region’s
900 piers—spread over Manhattan’s West Side, South Brooklyn,
and Hoboken and Jersey City, N.J.—handled more cargo than
any port in the world. This is the setting for James T. Fisher’s On
the Irish Waterfront, a fascinating work of history that explores
the rise of New York’s commercial port from the early 1900s to
the 1950s and the corruption that eventually infiltrated all lev-
els of the cargo business, until a crusading priest helped to put
a stop to it—and inspired a classic film along the way.”

The Cold War and Cultural Expression in
Southeast Asia
Edited by Tony Day and Maya H. T. Liem
“These innovative essays compel us to reevaluate our under-
standing of the Cold War as a predominantly political and
military event. Their consideration of a broad range of cultural
forms—from literature and film to glossy magazines and body-
building—remind us that the Cold War’s influence on culture
and its producers was as varied and complex as the Southeast
Asian countries it touched. Lively and insightful, this rich collec-
tion is a valuable contribution to both Cold War studies and the
modern histories of Southeast Asia.”
