Transnational Community Mobilization and Transformation, 2010-2020
The world is increasingly complex and ever changing.One of these changes involves the increasing trans-nationalization by diverse sociopolitical groups/institutions, including the state, the corporate, as well as different transnational communities, including professionalized social groups.Such groups also include transnational communities with migrant-refugee history and background.These communities often link their local host environments with their homeland origins in multiple ways.They often do such activities through diversified, transnationally situational and context-based sociopolitical engagements and mobilizations toward and with multiple social, political, and economic actors.Their main aim and purpose is to achieve and maintain recognition and dignified lives as individuals, groups, as well as communities.Through resisting exclusion and trying to help the excluded, they often approach transnational issues with cautious responsibility and cooperation as well as collaboration with multiple public, civic, and private actors.

Infinite Mobilization
The core of what we refer to as ‘the project of modernity’ is the idea that human beings have the power to bring the world under their control, and hence it is based on a ‘kinetic utopia’: the movement of the world as a whole reflects the implementation of our plans for it. But as soon as the kinetic utopia of modernity is exposed, its seemingly stable foundation cracks open and new problems appear: things don’t happen according to plan because as we actualize our plans, we set in motion other things that we didn’t want as unintended side-effects.We watch with mounting unease as the self-perpetuating side-effects of modern progress overshadow our plans, as a foreign movement breaks off from the very core of the modern project supposedly guided by reason and slips away from us, spinning out of control.What looked like a steady march towards freedom turns out to be a slide into an uncontrollable and catastrophic syndrome of perpetual mobilization. And precisely because so much comes about through our actions, these developments turn out to have explosive consequences for our self-understanding, as we begin to realize that, so far from bringing the world under our control, we are instead the agents of our own destruction. In this brilliant and insightful book Sloterdijk lays out the elements of a new critical theory of modernity understood as a critique of political kinetics, shifting the focus of critical theory from production to mobilization and shedding new light on a world facing the growing risk of humanly induced catastrophe.

Building Rural Community Resilience Through Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Drawing from empirical analyses, case studies, and a synthesis of best practices, this book explores how innovation manifests itself in rural places and how it contributes to entrepreneurial development and resilience.Innovation in rural places may come about as a result of new forms of collaboration; policies that leverage rural assets and address critical service or product gaps; novel strategies for accessing financial capital; infusion of arts into aspects of community life; and cultivation of networks that bridge entrepreneurs, organizations, and institutions.The chapters illustrate how a number of innovation-related characteristics relate to economic vibrancy in rural places such as a strong connection to the arts, adaptive and sustainable use of natural resources, value-chain integrated food systems, robust bridging social capital networks, creative leveraging of technology, and presence of innovation-focused entrepreneurs.Through exploration of these and other topics, this book will provide insights and best practices for rural community and economic development scholars and practitioners seeking to strengthen the rural innovation ecosystem.

End Jew Hatred : A Manual for Mobilization
In this seminal book, award-winning filmmaker, civil rights attorney, and television personality, Brooke Goldstein, offers a groundbreaking and pragmatic strategy for ending Jew-hatred globally.What Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals was for progressives, End Jew Hatred is for the Jewish community and its allies. Thousands of books have documented the victimization of Jews over the centuries.This is not one of those books. This book is about ending the world’s oldest hatred against the world’s most persecuted community.End Jew Hatred shows how we can affect real and lasting change by championing the Jewish cause as a minority rights issue.By harnessing the power of grassroots mobilization, direct action, and legal activism, Goldstein provides a historically unprecedented handbook on how the Jewish community can move from defensive to offensive advocacy, and effect real lasting change. Through her experience as a civil rights attorney at The Lawfare Project, a filmmaker, and as the founder of the End Jew Hatred movement, author Brooke Goldstein offers an unparalleled deep dive into the civil rights cases she has fought to illustrate how impact litigation paired with social rights activism can be used to combat anti-Jewish discrimination and set a new precedent of Jewish empowerment. Furthermore, Goldstein conducts a comprehensive study of social justice movements like the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s, the Black Lives Matter movement, the New Women’s Movement, End Asian Hate movement, and the LGBTQIA+ movement, and argues that adopting their tactics, language, and organisation can enact lasting meaningful change for Jews everywhere.She challenges the top-down approach traditionally used by Jewish communal leadership, arguing for adaptation with the times, and demonstrates how a bottom-up, decentralised strategy aimed at recruiting and rising up local activists is the future of Jewish advocacy. We are living in an unprecedented age of progress in the fight for minority rights—a historic crossroads.End Jew Hatred underscores the need for a seismic shift in strategy away from pro-Israel advocacy and towards awakening a Jewish civil rights movement. This is a book about securing the fundamental human right of Jewish people to live as equals, everywhere, regardless of conflicts happening in the Middle East.It is a clarion call for upending the status quo and disrupting the cycle of hatred; for drawing a new blueprint and tossing out existing structures; for unity; for diverting the nature of human hate and changing the course of history for the better. While activists in the #MeToo and Black Lives Matter movements have made great strides, there has never been a unified and coordinated Jewish civil rights coalition in the West.The plight of the Jewish community must not be overlooked.In this moment in history, the world is uniquely positioned to finally extinguish the flames of antisemitism so Jews can claim their right to life and be treated equally and fairly around the world. Make no mistake: Ending Jew hatred is the civil rights issue of our lifetime.
