The Politics of Green Transformations

Multiple ‘green transformations’ are required if humanity is to live sustainably on planet Earth. Recalling past transformations, this book examines what makes the current challenge different, and especially urgent. It examines how green transformations must take place in the context of the particular moments of capitalist development, and in relation to particular alliances. The role of the state is emphasised, both in terms of the type of incentives required to make green transformations politically feasible and the way states must take a developmental role in financing innovation and technology for green transformations. The book also highlights the role of citizens, as innovators, entrepreneurs, green consumers and members of social movements. Green transformations must be both ‘top-down’, involving elite alliances between states and business, but also ‘bottom up’, pushed by grassroots innovators and entrepreneurs, and part of wider mobilisations among civil society. The chapters in the book draw on international examples to emphasise how contexts matter in shaping pathways to sustainability Written by experts in the field, this book will be of great interest to researchers and students in environmental studies, international relations, political science, development studies, geography and anthropology, as well as policymakers and practitioners concerned with sustainability

Being Dogla : hybridity and ethnicity in post-colonial Suriname

This thesis explores hybridity and ethnicity in Nickerie, Western Suriname. It undertakes this exploration from the perspective of doglas, Surinamese people with mixed African and Asian parentage. In Suriname’s postcolonial process of nation-building, ethnicity has been essentialized, with doglas representing a category of anomaly, but also of uncertainty. What I have termed ‘dogla discourse’ refers to the opinions, experiences and negotiations among and about doglas in Nickerie that both shored up and destabilized Suriname’s ethnic essentialism. Dogla discourse fuses and confuses ethnic categories and boundaries in its insistent hybridity. The thesis shows that being dogla does not simply align with common tropes of ‘mixed-race’. I argue that in embracing conflicting paradigms of ethnicity, doglas in Nickerie both emphasized and undermined ethnic essentialism. This was expressed in idioms of kinship and sexual relations, in notions of the pure/impure dogla body, and in the relevance and irrelevance of ‘cultural spirituality’. Furthermore, dogla discourse problematized the role of ethnicity in the enduring struggles of how to define ‘the national’ in postcolonial states. Thus, the thesis presents an ethnographic contribution to studies of ‘mixed-race’ in contexts of postcolonial nation-building, and theoretically expands conceptualizations of ‘the hybrid’

Sallie Rhett Roman (1844-1921): A New Orleans Woman Writer.

Roman was a New Orleans writer who contributed political editorials and works of fiction to the New Orleans Times Democrat for nearly twenty years beginning in 1891. She was a culturally-aware intellectual woman of the nineteenth century, and her works offer a clearer picture of the political, cultural, and historical post-Reconstruction South. In my extensive scholarly investigation of Roman\u27s work, I began to realize that it was not enough to write about her life and works without making the primary texts, which are hidden away on microfilm in the rare book rooms of South Louisiana, accessible to scholars of Southern U.S., Louisiana, and U.S. women\u27s history and literature. Thus, I have undertaken to produce a scholarly edition of selected materials in addition to completing a critical text on Roman. My extensive introduction to this edition includes critical analyses of her nonfiction and fiction as well as a section on Roman\u27s biographical background. Roman\u27s editorials evince a deep concern with politics, which stemmed from her having grown up as the daughter of South Carolina senator, Robert Barnwell Rhett. Roman lamented the fact that the Republican politicians of the day were not more like her father and her father-in-law, the former governor of Louisiana, Andre Bienvenu Roman. Many of her editorials address concerns which carry over into her fiction, such as the importance of education and devotion to family. Her stories about the young aristocratic class of New Orleans, of which she was once a member, are often didactic and cautionary. She also employs many elements of local color and popular culture in her fiction. In my scholarly edition of representative samples from Roman\u27s editorials and fiction, I am able to depict her growth as a writer. My introduction establishes the critical connections between her engaging life and her writing. I situate her work and life historically, and examine her writing alongside that of other, better-known writers contemporary to her. Finally, the project includes the first complete bibliography of Roman\u27s works
