Book Description
The history of weapons and warfare is usually written from the point of view of the battles fought and the tactics used. In naval warfare, in particular, the story of how these weapons were invented, designed and supplied is seldom told.
Chris Henry, in this pioneering study, sets the record straight. He describes how, to counter the extraordinary threat posed by the U-boats in the world wars, the Royal Navy responded with weapons that kept open the vital supply routes of the Atlantic Ocean.
He also celebrates the remarkable achievements of the engineers and inventors whose inspired work was essential to Britain's survival.
Book Description
Opening with the provocative query “what might an anthropology of the secular look like?” this book explores the concepts, practices, and political formations of secularism, with emphasis on the major historical shifts that have shaped secular sensibilities and attitudes in the modern West and the Middle East.
Talal Asad proceeds to dismantle commonly held assumptions about the secular and the terrain it allegedly covers. He argues that while anthropologists have oriented themselves to the study of the “strangeness of the non-European world” and to what are seen as non-rational dimensions of social life (things like myth, taboo, and religion),the modern and the secular have not been adequately examined.
The conclusion is that the secular cannot be viewed as a successor to religion, or be seen as on the side of the rational. It is a category with a multi-layered history, related to major premises of modernity, democracy, and the concept of human rights. This book will appeal to anthropologists, historians, religious studies scholars, as well as scholars working on modernity.

An erudite and praiseworthy albeit easily misunderstood attempt at uncloaking the Secular disguise. .......2007-01-29
There is more here than an Anthropology of the Secular and mostly because a full appreciation of the concept can never arise from a direct response to the question "what is the secular?". And so Asad continues throughout to offer examples and elements of alterations in human thought which may have opened up a new space, creating suitable conditions and allowing 'the secular' to mark its territory and flourish. Asad makes clear that he does not equate or associate individual intentions (in the writings analyzed) with wider structural developments, the method preferred in standard historical accounts. In his chapter on the secular transformation of Egypt for example, it is made clear how reformers unwittingly muddle two sets of grammars (classical Islamic and modern secular) and thereby construct an ambiguous third set of concepts with significantly 'secular' significations.
That is ultimately the essence of this study. An attempt to trace transformations in the grammar of our language (the genealogy of concepts) And as such there is hardly one single discovery that this book can impress upon us. As readers, we can not be passive receivers but rather engage with Asad's suggestions and appreciate that this multi-faceted concept known to us as the 'secular' takes on different forms in different places as it homogenizes distinct temporalities into one singular history. Our desire for a simple linear solution, a direct "anthropology of the 'secular'" in the vein of so many "anthropologies of 'religion'" is itself an entailment of a secular mindset.
Although 'Human Rights', 'agency' and 'pain' may seem like distractions for someone focusing on secularism, they are evidence of the presence of 'modernity' and the 'secular' in our world. They are tools which the secular uses to maintain its neutral stance, and finally they are the site of conflict and contradiction which the insightful scholar can expose.
Finally, I must mention that there are sections of this work which do seem a little meandered and complex but these are few and often mulling over these areas or even inquiring into quoted texts should clarify. Some of the negative comments made in other reviews only further highlight misunderstandings or expectations of a traditional anthropological approach. In a sense, Asad's indirect, and for some, vague and incoherent method is ironically the evidence of what he is up against!
Great for A Graduate Students' Seminar--But a Confused Reading.......2006-10-20
Perhaps the best way to introduce this book is to stress what it is not. People won't find in it clear-cut definitions of the secular and the religious, or a story of the former's triumph over the later. Nor will they find an analysis of the persistence of faith-based worldviews or a depiction of modern societies' resistance to secularization. Although Talal Asad is interested in the contribution of sacred myths and metaphors to the formation of modern historical knowledge and poetic sensibility, he doesn't claim that a religious core still inhabits secular norms and practices, nor that some apparently secular institutions are really religious outfits in disguise. For instance, to those who claim that "the country's religious roots and its continuing high level of religious faith make Americans more likely to see enemies not just as opponents but as evil", he replies that the rhetoric of the axis of evil is "entirely compatible (indeed intertwined) with secularism in a highly modern society."
Asad starts by borrowing from Rawls the idea that "there can be no universally agreed basis, whether secular or religious, for the political principles accepted in a modern, heterogeneous society." Rather than trumpeting the "triumphalist history of the secular" or prophetizing religion's return with a vengeance, he is more interested in understanding the positions from which such narratives originate and what makes them possible at one particular time and place. His research agenda can be summed up as follows: "What practical options are opened up or closed by the notion that the world has NO significant binary features, that it is, on the contrary, divided into overlapping, fragmented cultures, hybrid selves, continuously dissolving and emerging social states?"
For Asad, the secular is best approached indirectly, and anthropology can provide tools toward this approach. However, he offers a somewhat contentious definition of the discipline: "In my view anthropology is more than a method, and it should not be equated--as it has popularly become--with the direction given to inquiry by the pseudoscientific notion of 'fieldwork'." As a result, he gleans through research materials and ethnographic studies gathered by other social scientists, without much consideration for disciplinary boundaries or intellectual coherence.
For instance, thinking about the body and how an agent engages with pain and suffering allows him to consider situations when a passive state is actively pursued and results in a paradoxical engagement with the world. The examples analysed in the chapter span from early Christian martyrs converting their suffering into a victory over society's power, to contemporary North American Evangelical women enduring the pain of childbirth as an empowering act, or Egyptian female participants in the Islamic piety movement cultivating a virtuous self through modesty and submissiveness. Each story makes a fascinating case, but many questions are left unanswered: how do religious and secular norms inscribe themselves onto the suffering body? What do those paradoxical cases of agency tell us about the delineation of the religious realm? Does this challenge to our vision of agency as progress towards empowerment and decreasing pain also question or assumptions about secularization?
My impression is that Talal Asad surely is a great teacher: his encyclopaedic knowledge, his challenge to commonly held assumptions, his ability to look at a topic from various and unexpected angles certainly force students to think hard and come up with their own ideas. But his ability to spark debates and stimulate thinking falters when his thoughts are couched on paper and when they leave the stimulating environment of the classroom. Besides, without prior knowledge of most of the texts on which he bases his analysis, I felt like the graduate student who hasn't read the required course material prior to the seminar and who sits through the discussion with a sense of confusion and frustration.
Almost an Anthropology of the Secular.......2003-05-24
Asad, an anthropologist, is one the most interesting minds working on the concept of secularity vis à vis modernity and its tendentious universality. The entire work is loosely an examination of the secular as an epistemè and secularism as a political doctrine respectively as well as the interrelation between the two. Asking what an anthropology of secularism might look like, he avoids being bold and shuns an attempt to actually construct one. It's a concept that he's flirted with before in GENEALOGIES OF RELIGION, but any attempt to construct a magisterial theory are absent. As a work overall, the end result is a disjointed collection of previously published articles inter-mixed with new ones; however, it is worthy mentioning that even the previously published articles that reappear in this work we significantly revised from the original-at least the ones I was familiar with. Nevertheless, this doesn't detract from the collective value of the book. All the ideas he puts forward are cogent, probing, and provocative.
His leading contribution is in the area of how secular discourse is perceived from the periphery of the modernization process-a periphery that `doesn't fit' into the metanarrative of Amero-European modernity since the Enlightenment. Thus, the conluding essay on the transformation of law and social ethic in colonial Egypt is alone worth the price of admission. His treatments of human rights, agency and pain, cruelty and torture, and Muslims in Europe best demonstrate the feasibility of employing anthropology as a disciplinary lens through which to scrutinize modernity and its `essential' components [esp. secularism].
Asad crosses the barrier of viewing the secular simply as the mere `separation between church and state' and enters into territory where questions can be posited such as `what created the historical moment which made possible the thought of secularism?' As such, he rolls back the shiny veneer of modernity to unravel the threads of it inner fabric. Thus, he facilitates the process whereby we can shed facile questions like: "when will Muslim societies secularize?"-moving on to questions that inquire into the historical processes that formed the secular/human subject of normative modernity in Europe. Localizing European/Western experience in such a way, a more lucid account of the advent modern society, state, religion, etc. in its non-European manifestations becomes increasingly attainable.
Though rhetorically convincing, there are parts of the book that remain tendentious at best. In particular, this goes for his arguments for secularism origins lying in the modern cleavage between private morality and public law. Systematic delineation of the two spheres is actually quite old whether one refers to the Christian or Islamic tradition-just to mention a few examples, one could take the ETYMOLOGIES of Isidore of Seville or the various Muslim jurists extrapolations of the principle of "al-amr bi'l-ma'ruf wa-l-nahy `an al-munkar" (i.e., commanding the good and forbidding the wrong). Hopefully, fuller elucidation will more fully distinguish these pre-modern conceptualizations from their distinctly modern (and secular?) configurations.
Book Description
The essays in Formations of Colonial Modernity in East Asia challenge the idea that notions of modernity and colonialism are mere imports from the West, and show how colonial modernity has evolved from and into unique forms throughout Asia. Although the modernity of non-European colonies is as indisputable as the colonial core of European modernity, until recently East Asian scholarship has tried to view Asian colonialism through the paradigm of colonial India (for instance), failing to recognize anti-imperialist nationalist impulses within differing Asian countries and regions.
Demonstrating an impatience with social science models of knowledge, the contributors show that binary categories focused on during the Cold War are no longer central to the project of history writing. By bringing together articles previously published in the journal positions: east asia cultures critique, editor Tani Barlow has demonstrated how scholars construct identity and history, providing cultural critics with new ways to think about these conceptsâin the context of Asia and beyond.
Chapters address topics such as the making of imperial subjects in Okinawa, politics and the body social in colonial Hong Kong, and the discourse of decolonization and popular memory in South Korea. This is an invaluable collection for students and scholars of Asian studies, postcolonial studies, and anthropology.

Book Description
Visions of the Emerald City is an absorbing historical analysis of how Mexicans living in Oaxaca City experienced âmodernityâ during the lengthy âOrder and Progressâ dictatorship of Porfirio DÃaz (1876–1911). Renowned as the Emerald City (for its many buildings made of green cantera stone), Oaxaca City was not only the economic, political, and cultural capital of the state of Oaxaca but also a vital commercial hub for all of southern Mexico. As such, it was a showcase for many of DÃaz’s modernizing and state-building projects. Drawing on in-depth research in archives in Oaxaca, Mexico City, and the United States, Mark Overmyer-Velázquez describes how Oaxacans, both elites and commoners, crafted and manipulated practices of tradition and modernity to define themselves and their city as integral parts of a modern Mexico.
Incorporating a nuanced understanding of visual culture into his analysis, Overmyer-Velázquez shows how ideas of modernity figured in Oaxacans’ ideologies of class, race, gender, sexuality, and religion and how they were expressed in Oaxaca City’s streets, plazas, buildings, newspapers, and public rituals. He pays particular attention to the roles of national and regional elites, the Catholic church, and popular groupsâsuch as Oaxaca City’s madams and prostitutesâin shaping the discourses and practices of modernity. At the same time, he illuminates the dynamic interplay between these groups. Ultimately, this well-illustrated history provides insight into provincial life in pre-Revolutionary Mexico and challenges any easy distinctions between the center and the periphery or modernity and tradition.

Book Description
What is the relationship between colonialism and modernity? Is modernity an exclusive product of Western cultures? In scholarly understandings and commonplace conceptions, modernity has long appeared as a distinctive milestone of Western civilization. Accordingly, progress on the road to modernity has become the common measure to assess the worth of states and citizens, nations and peoples, in non-Western contexts.
Critical Conjunctions gathers leading scholars from Latin America and South Asiaârepresenting a range of disciplines and perspectivesâto address questions of colonial modernities. The essays examine such topics as the abiding Eurocentric premises at the heart of authoritative trade agreements, such as the International Monetary Fund, and the expression by contemporary Zapatistas of an alternative modernity. This special issue of Nepantla initiates a dialogue among regions, disciplines, and perspectives, mutually recasting colonialism and modernity.

Book Description
This volume takes up current debates in comparative and historical sociology that deal with multiple modernities and civilizations. It does so through an examination of patterns of state formation, civilization and the development of capitalism in the interaction of European and American worlds over three centuries.
The early part of the argument explores cutting-edge theoretical debates around the nature of early modern formations. Sections on state formation, civilizational identities and capitalist development introduce new perspectives on both Europe and America. They bring into question classical images of Western expansion and modernization, providing an alternative picture of colonialism and inter-civilizational encounters. This book brings the Atlantic zone into rich fields of sociological thinking about civilizations and modernity.

Book Description
Insurgent citizenships have arisen in cities around the world. This book examines the insurgence of democratic citizenship in the urban peripheries of São Paulo, Brazil, its entanglement with entrenched systems of inequality, and its contradiction in violence.
James Holston argues that for two centuries Brazilians have practiced a type of citizenship all too common among nation-states--one that is universally inclusive in national membership and massively inegalitarian in distributing rights and legalizing social differences. But since the 1970s, he shows, residents of Brazil's urban peripheries have formulated a new citizenship that is destabilizing the old. Their mobilizations have developed not primarily through struggles of labor but through those of the city--particularly illegal residence, house building, and land conflict. Yet precisely as Brazilians democratized urban space and achieved political democracy, violence, injustice, and impunity increased dramatically. Based on comparative, ethnographic, and historical research, Holston reveals why the insurgent and the entrenched remain dangerously conjoined as new kinds of citizens expand democracy even as new forms of violence and exclusion erode it.
Rather than view this paradox as evidence of democratic failure and urban chaos, Insurgent Citizenship argues that contradictory realizations of citizenship characterize all democracies--emerging and established. Focusing on processes of city-and-citizen making now prevalent globally, it develops new approaches for understanding the contemporary course of democratic citizenship in societies of vastly different cultures and histories.

Book Description
This study of urban identity and community looks at selected twentieth century literary and film texts in the contexts of theorizations modernism, postmodernism, post-coloniality and globalization. Brooker draws on Beck and Giddens and Rem Koolhasas, amongst others, to propose a 'reflexive modernism' which rewrites and re-imagines the urban scene. Cities included are London and New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Bangkok. Writers and artists considered are: in the modernist period, Ezra Poun and T.S. Eliot, Langston Hughes and Melvin B. Tolson, and in the contemporary period, Hanif Kureishi, Bernadine Evaristo and Salman Rushdie, Iain Sinclair and Patrick Keiller, Paul Auster and Sarah Schulman, William Gibson, Wong Kar-Wai and Lawrence Chua, and Alex Proyas, Latife Tekin and John Berger.
Book Description
According to the theory of relativity, we are constantly bathed in gravitational radiation. When stars explode or collide, a portion of their mass becomes energy that disturbs the very fabric of the space-time continuum like ripples in a pond. But proving the existence of these waves has been difficult; the cosmic shudders are so weak that only the most sensitive instruments can be expected to observe them directly. Fifteen times during the last thirty years scientists have claimed to have detected gravitational waves, but so far none of those claims have survived the scrutiny of the scientific community. Gravity's Shadow chronicles the forty-year effort to detect gravitational waves, while exploring the meaning of scientific knowledge and the nature of expertise.
Gravitational wave detection involves recording the collisions, explosions, and trembling of stars and black holes by evaluating the smallest changes ever measured. Because gravitational waves are so faint, their detection will come not in an exuberant moment of discovery but through a chain of inference; for forty years, scientists have debated whether there is anything to detect and whether it has yet been detected. Sociologist Harry Collins has been tracking the progress of this research since 1972, interviewing key scientists and delineating the social process of the science of gravitational waves.
Engagingly written and authoritatively comprehensive, Gravity's Shadow explores the people, institutions, and government organizations involved in the detection of gravitational waves. This sociological history will prove essential not only to sociologists and historians of science but to scientists themselves.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent and Most Comprehensive.......2006-08-17
The research involved in complex sciences and in particular the study of delicate signals which emanate from the edge of our galaxy are not something for the faint of heart to pursue. Collins does a remarkable job of accurately and objectively telling the story of how four decades of intense research unfolded in search of Gravitational Waves by more than a dozen qualified scientists. His perspective is rare as we often are not told about the heartache and miscalculations which inevitably punctuate the search for new knowledge. This book is valuable from the perspective that the reader is shown the effort, dedication and pain that many people endure in the name of science. this is a story that happens time and again but rarely is told with such glaring accuracy to this level of detail and objectivity. Best hundred dollars I have spent on a book in some time and it certainly has aided me in my research
Gripping account of a controversial field.......2005-02-18
This book covers two related stories, each fascinating in its own right. It is first of all the definitive account of the controversy surrounding Joe Weber's claimed detection of gravitational waves, told by someone who has met and interviewed all of the leading participants since the origins of the controversy in the 1970s. Weber was a remarkable character whose story is one of considerable pathos and Collins gives a sympathetic and incisive account of his career and its ramifications that no one else is qualified to give.
The second part of the book covers the dramas that shaped the more recent efforts to detect gravitational waves, a remarkable story with important insights into the way big science projects evolve, sometimes to the point of near implosion. I was a graduate student at Caltech while some of these events occured, and was later a colleague of Collins while he conducted many of his interviews, and can only say that he does an amazing story full justice. As readers of the Golem will know he has a clear, direct style of writing which carries the reader along through a long book, partly for the intrinsic interest of the material, and partly for the engaging style. I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in physics.
2nd half an interesting study of g. waves detection politics.......2004-10-28
Skip the first 400 pages, unless you're obsessed with Joe Weber. But read the second 400 for an interesting take on the politics and people involved in gravity wave detection. Also a decent presentation of the issues in gravity wave detection for non-physicists.
