The Archaeology of Institutional Life
University of Alabama Press 2009; US$ 28.95Institutions pervade social life. They express community goals and values by defining the limits of socially acceptable behavior. Institutions are often vested with the resources, authority, and power to enforce the orthodoxy of their time. But institutions are also arenas in which both orthodoxies and authority can be contested. Between power and... more...
Beyond the State in Rural Uganda
Edinburgh University Press 2008; US$ 129.99In this innovative study, Ben Jones argues that scholars too often assume that the state is the most important force behind change in local political communities in Africa. Studies look to the state, and to the impact of government reforms, as ways of understanding processes of development and change. Using the example of Uganda, regarded as one of... more...
Branded Nation
Simon & Schuster 2004; US$ 20.99Branding, says James Twitchell, is nothing more than commercial storytelling; brands are the stories that are associated with products. (For example, the special taste of Evian, says Twitchell, is in the brand, not the water.) Branding has become so successful, so ubiquitous that even institutions that we thought were above branding, antithetical... more...

Evolution and Design of Institutions
Taylor and Francis 2006; US$ 49.95This book comprises nine papers approaching designed institutions and their interplay with spontaneous institutions from various angles.

Samuelson Award given by TIAA-CREF, The Evolution of Retirement is the first comprehensive economic history of retirement in America.

Costa looks at factors underlying this increase and shows the dramatic implications... more...
Flavor of the Month
University of California Press 2006; US$ 30.00While fads such as hula hoops or streaking are usually dismissed as silly enthusiasms, trends in institutions such as education, business, medicine, science, and criminal justice are often taken seriously, even though their popularity and usefulness is sometimes short-lived. Institutional fads such as open classrooms, quality circles, and multiple... more...
Forced Passages
University of Minnesota Press 2006; US$ 60.00In Forced Passages, Dylan Rodríguez argues that the cultural production of such imprisoned intellectuals as Mumia Abu-Jamal, Angela Davis, and Leonard Peltier should be understood as a unique social movement.
