Bøker av Jack Nusan Porter

ENGJewish Partisans of the Soviet Union is a classic compilation of original Russian and Jewish sources on the anti-Nazi resistance in Eastern Europe. It is rooted in decades of research motivated by a desire to set the record straight on Jewish participation in resistance movements, a phenomenon often overlooked when not actively concealed. As the son of Jewish partisans in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe, Jack Porter presents here the result of his decades-long research: first-hand accounts and interviews with survivors and partisans, as well as some of their original work, and a seminal English translation of Partisan Brotherhood, a historical document gathered by Russian-Jewish intellectuals in 1948 at the height of anti-Semitic hysteria, written mainly by non-Jewish Soviet partisan commanders recounting the deeds of the Jewish fighters in their units.RUSВ основе этой книги лежат десятилетия исследований, вызванных к жизни желанием внести ясность в вопрос об участии евреев в партизанском движении. Будучи сыном еврейских партизан, Джек Портер собрал в своем исследовании рассказы из первых рук, интервью с выжившими и с партизанами, а также мемуарные публикации и выдержки из «Партизанской дружбы» - исторического документа, составленного российско-еврейской интеллигенцией в 1948 году в разгар антисемитской истерии и написанного в основном нееврейскими сов

Jack Nusan Porter's writings date back to 1966, during the height of the Vietnam War. He describes the struggle against war, racism, and poverty, as well as the radical groups involved. This collection of essays combines theory, sociology, film studies, literary criticism, post-modern thought, and politics to understand our present situation.

Sociology was in serious trouble in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Harvard University was down to only 67 students majoring in sociology in 1992. Yale's department faced a 40% cut in faculty and near extinction. In the last decade, Washington University (St. Louis, MO) and the University of Rochester shut down their departments. George Washington University (Washington, D.C.) regrouped in order to stave off further cuts. However, in the past decade, sociology has surged back and become more important than ever to policy makers and pundits. Why?Is Sociology Dead? covers three areas of Dr. Jack Nusan Porter's work: the role of sociological theory in society; the image of sociology in the media; and what he calls the "creative praxis," (the application of social theory to real life problems). The theoretical section of the book covers such areas as conflict theory; situational and small group theory; and what could be termed as post-9/11 approaches as chaos, postmodern, and rational choice theory that address the questions of random murder, terrorism, and genocide. The second section deals with an overview of sociology's image in the U.S. media and covers in detail how sociology was treated in radical textbooks in the 1960s. The final section applies new theoretical approaches to a host of contemporary political, business, technological, and urban issues.

The Genocidal Mind offers unique and under-explored analysis of the Holocaust and the phenomenon of 20th century genocide within a sociological framework.
