Readers can examine what Strachey contributed before the revisions, in tandem with Solms’s updates, retranslations, and notes which bring Freudian material into dialogue with the most recent 21st-century developments in the field. Commissioned by the British Psychoanalytical Society and co-published by Rowman & Littlefield, the 24-volume Revised Standard Edition brings together decades of scholarly deliberation concerning the translation of Freudian technical terms while retaining the best of Strachey’s original English translation. This landmark work will captivate a wide audience, from interested lay readers to practicing clinicians to scientists and scholars in fields related to psychoanalysis.

Compounding this problem is the absence of any institution or agency Social Science: Criminology

In doing so, Michael H. Gavin provides a tool, The Nostalgia Spectrum, to examine American racism within the text.

Engelberg argues that late modern individualization processes, including changing attitudes toward gender, relationships, and intimacy, play a central role in creating this phenomenon and in communal responses to it.

In Sociology of Waiting, Paul Christopher Price investigates how people wait and analyzes what individuals do while waiting. Shining the light on waiting permits a far superior understanding of order, ﬁrst come-ﬁrst serve, and how society organizes itself around taking turns. Waiting gets at our ability or inability to pause and consider others.

The Peace Epistemologies of the National Coordination of Indigenous Women in Mexico By Alaíde Vences Estudillo Final cover to follow

Lexington Books 15 September 2023 • 306 pages Hardcover • 9781666939385 • $110.00 | £85.00 eBook • 9781666939392 • $45.00 | £35.00

Full of insightful reﬂections on the philosophy of medicine, women's education, the evils of slavery, and the nature of American society in the nineteenth century.

By focusing on the e�orts of the National Coordination of Indigenous Women (CONAMI) to dismantle racism, sexism, ageism, and other forms of discrimination, this book challenges outdated assumptions about the roles of Indigenous people—especially women—in creating proactive, responsive, and socially progressive peace epistemologies.
