Abstract:
This chapter discusses issues concerning the limitation of freedom of religion or belief, including related issues of interpretation. First, religious manifestation is different from holding, adopting, or changing religion or belief in that the latter is not subject to any limitation whatsoever. Second, national security is mentioned as a limitations ground in articles 12 (liberty of movement), 13 (expulsion), 14 (fair trial), 19 (freedom of expression), 21 (peaceful assembly), and 22 (freedom of association), but not in article 18 of the ICCPR. Third, traditions and limitations intersect in two ways; a single tradition cannot determine limitation on the grounds of morals, and limitations should not target a single tradition. Lastly, the exercise of assessing ‘necessity’ and ‘proportionality’ should not sideline the importance of upholding the protection of the relevant human rights. International procedures should only limit freedom of religion or belief in accordance with a strict understanding of the rights and limitation regime concerned, and with detailed justification of the rationale for their decision making in the compromise that is proposed.

Abstract:
During the Great Migration, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, became a mecca for African Americans seeking better job opportunities, wages, and living conditions. The city's thriving economy and vibrant social and cultural scenes inspired dreams of prosperity and a new start, but this urban haven was not free of discrimination and despair. In the face of injustice, activists formed the Urban League of Pittsburgh (ULP) in 1918 to combat prejudice and support the city's growing African American population. In this broad-ranging history, Joe William Trotter Jr. uses this noteworthy branch of the National Urban League to provide new insights into an organization that has often faced criticism for its social programs' deep class and gender limitations. Surveying issues including housing, healthcare, and occupational mobility, Trotter underscores how the ULP -- often in concert with the Urban League's national headquarters -- bridged social divisions to improve the lives of black citizens of every class. He also sheds new light on the branch's nonviolent direct-action campaigns and places these powerful grassroots operations within the context of the modern Black Freedom Movement. The impact of the National Urban League is a hotly debated topic in African American social and political history. Trotter's study provides valuable new insights that demonstrate how the organization has relieved massive suffering and racial inequality in US cities for more than a century.

Full text
Abstract:
Stable isotope analysis is firmly established as a method for the investigation of past population mobility. The distinction between local and non-local individuals within a cemetery population relies on identifying an individual’s place of childhood residence through the analysis of strontium and oxygen isotopes present in human tooth enamel. Traditionally, studies investigating mobility focus on the analysis of a single tooth. More recently, however, it has become apparent that in order to investigate the mobility of an individual during childhood—and thus to consider the importance of children in the migration process—it is necessary to analyse a series of teeth which form at different stages during the early years of life. This chapter will consider the potential of—and challenges surrounding—this scientific approach to the investigation of childhood mobility in the past.

Abstract:
This chapter critically evaluates Gandhi’s overall strategy to abolish the caste system in order to understand its continued relevance for the uplifment of untouchables/dalit during the present times. For this purpose, it places Gandhi’s strategy in contrast with two other contemporary movements, the Arya Samaj’s Shuddhi movement and Ambedkar’s anti-caste movement. It examines the divergences between Gandhi’s strategy and the other two approaches and in doing so highlights the limitations as well as merits of Gandhi’s approach. The first section explains the difference between Gandhi’s and Ambedkar’s strategy. The second section differentiates between Gandhi’s strategy and Arya Samaj’s Shuddhi movement.

The implications are discussed by referring not only to the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong but also to other similar protest campaigns around the world in previous years. The chapter ends with some updates about happenings in the movement scene in Hong Kong after 2014.

Abstract:
Political prisoners leave behind a cause and a movement, and endeavor to represent them and to stay in contact while behind bars. They live in a world beyond the imagining of most of their fellow citizens. Whatever a movement loses when its leaders and enthusiasts go to jail, it faces the difficult challenge of keeping them relevant to the cause. This chapter explores the mechanics, limitations, and opportunities of letter writing, and examines the history of escapes from prison. Prisoner assistance movements in many cases—in particular Polish leftists fighting for independence, Irish Republicans, and the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa—were organized and led by women. Communists in Poland and around the world organized prisoner assistance as a way to inspire and mobilize support for the cause

Bishop, Sarah C. Undocumented Storytellers. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190917159.001.0001.

Full text
Abstract:
By projecting their stories into the public arena, undocumented storytellers refute mainstream discourse, trade anonymous narratives for individuality, and reveal the determination of those who elsewhere have been vilified by stereotype and presupposition. Taking a holistic approach to the role of storytelling in the immigrant rights movement, Bishop chronicles the ways young people uncover their lack of legal status experientially—through interactions with parents, in attempts to pursue rites of passage reserved for citizens, and as audiences of political and popular media. She provides both theoretical and pragmatic contextualization as activist narrators recount the experiences that influenced their decisions to cultivate public voices. Undocumented Storytellers offers a critical exploration of the ways undocumented immigrants harness the power of storytelling as a means of self-actualization, to mitigate the fear and uncertainty of life without legal status, and to advocate immigration reform. The book draws from a mixed methodology of forty in-depth interviews with undocumented immigrants from eighteen unique nations of origin, critical-rhetorical ethnographies of immigrant rights events and protests, and narrative analysis of immigrant-produced digital media to interrogate the power and limitations of autobiographical narrative activism. Offering an unparalleled view into the ways immigrants’ stories appear online, this book illuminates the power and limitations of digital narrative strategies by detailing how undocumented storytellers reframe their messages when stories have unintended consequences. The resulting work provides broad insights into the role of strategic framing and autobiographical story-sharing in advocacy and social movements.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter investigates the diverging trajectories in collective bargaining outcomes on agency work in the German and Italian metal sector. It finds that bargaining outcomes have improved in Germany in regard to working conditions, prospects for being hired, and limitations to the use of agency work (2003–15), while they have progressively worsened in Italy (1998–2015). The explanation suggests that in both cases the deregulation of agency work allowed employers to exploit labour divides, preventing worker representatives from forming a united front in order to negotiate effectively. However, the campaign for agency workers by the German metal union shows that divides can be overcome and a united labour movement can successfully regulate precarious work.

Abstract:
French feminisms were central to the theory and culture of Second Wave feminism as an international movement, and 1975 was a key year for the women’s movement in France. Forty years on, this book offers a critical review of the political activism and the cultural creativity of that moment, from the perspective of both preceding and subsequent ‘waves’ of feminism. It explores the importance and the legacies of 1975, and their strengths and limitations as new questions and new conjunctures have come into play. Edited and written by an international collective of feminist scholars, the book represents both a critical re-evaluation of a vital moment in women’s cultural and political history - and a new analysis of the relationship between Second Wave agendas and contemporary feminist politics and culture.

Abstract:
This chapter considers how changes in gender and race relations played out in society and in Chicago rape trials during the late 1960s and 1970s. Outside the courtroom, feminists helped create victim advocacy services and provided much-needed support for women who came forward to report sexual attacks. Despite a long history of African American women's activism against racial and sexual violence, the radical feminist movement was plagued with a myopic focus on gender oppression that limited interracial cooperation in the anti-rape movement. Such limitations did not mean that black rape victims did not make use of advocacy services, reflecting the potential for interracial feminist cooperation during this period. Such cooperation did not extend to relaxed urban race relations, however, as defense strategies continued to challenge the familiar prejudices of the Chicago police well into the 1970s.

Abstract:
This chapter presents an exchange between the author and Keith Thomas, which both have referred to as a “postmortem” on Unionists for Democratic Change. The exchange was edited and compiled from two conversations: The first is a recorded interview between Cloud and Thomas in Wichita, Kansas, on July 17, 2001, the evening after a small demonstration at the union hall earlier that afternoon; the second source is a series of letters exchanged in summer 2006. Here Thomas complicates the author's arguments that mistakes and misdirected focus were to blame for the decline of the union democracy movement at Boeing. His observations will also encourage readers to understand the limitations of the movement in the contexts of the real lives of activists set against a renewed employer's offensive and a very powerful and change-resistant union bureaucracy.

Abstract:
Interest groups play an important role in the legal system, participating in a wide array of cases as litigants, sponsors, amici curiae, and intervenors. This chapter provides a critical analysis of academic scholarship on interest group litigation, devoting particular attention to establishing the limitations of the current state of knowledge and providing suggestions for future research. This chapter demonstrates that, while there has been a great deal of research on some facets of social movement litigation, such as amicus curiae participation in the U.S. Supreme Court, others have been relatively unexplored, including investigations of coalition formation, venue selection, and extrajudicial lobbying. Thus, there are ample opportunities for future scholars to contribute to our understanding of planned litigation by organized interests.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter examines and accounts for skillful coping and its complexity in a way that linear and staged models cannot. The authors propose a morphogenetic approach of enskilment that surmounts the limitations of such stepwise progressions from novice to expert. Based on rich empirical data that follow forwards the process of one author’s craft apprenticeship over time, the chapter shows that becoming enskilled is an ongoing process that unfolds against the background of practice. This reveals a recursive, multidirectional pattern of movement that is specific to each practitioner, depending upon his or her prior experiences and circumstances. Thus the pattern of enskilment may be shared by a range of skillful copers, but is given its specificity by each practitioner’s particular background practice(s).

Full text
Abstract:
Intersectionality has become the dominant form of feminist social science analysis. This chapter first examines the origins of intersectional analysis—which conceives of gender, race, class, and sexuality interacting forms of oppression—in the work of U.S. feminist academics in the 1980s, following the lead of feminists activists of color in the 1960s and 1970s who conceptualized their struggles in complex terms. The next section traces how intersectionality has widened into “intersectionality studies,” as the concept has traveled and definitions of intersectionality have proliferated. The author concludes that, despite its possible limitations, an intersectional sensibility is useful for those engaged in movement studies, because it helps scholars to conceptualize the relationships between voluntary action on the part of movement participants and social structures they inhabit/encounter, and because intersectionality’s view of oppositional communities as coalitions dovetails well with work that seeks to examine how movements are formed and operate as coalitions.

Full text
Abstract:
Jóola-Eegimaa, an endangered Atlantic (Niger-Congo) language, has a rich agglutinative morphology resulting in complex words that often permit multiple readings. The regularity and limitations of these ambiguities suggests they are generated by a speaker’s systematic knowledge. Preserving that knowledge demands not simply cataloguing outward forms but also understanding the organizing principles that permit using that knowledge creatively. Investigation of Eegimaa verb stem structure shows that the superficial linear order of stem affixes, seemingly not compositionally transparent, arises from syntactic movement of sub-stem morphemes in a way that preserves the underlying structure necessary for compositional interpretation. Under this analysis a copy of complex v movement is left behind and has the right contents to predict patterns of possible and impossible verb reduplication. Such research can reveal how general features of the language faculty interact with specific lexical properties of morphemes to predict the order and interpretation of verb stem morphology.

Full text
Abstract:
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) requires the periodic instillation of dialysate into the peritoneal cavity and induces the movement of solutes and fluid across the semipermeable peritoneal membrane that allows for the successful management of the uraemic syndrome. Even though this was recognized as far back as 1923, technical limitations precluded the large-scale use of PD for the long-term treatment of end-stage renal disease for 50 years. This changed with the development of an indwelling catheter for PD by Henry Tenckhoff in the late 1960s, the description of the technique of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis by Popovich and colleagues in 1976, and the introduction of plastic bags in lieu of glass bottles in the mid 1970s. It is estimated that over 200,000 patients are undergoing treatment with PD worldwide, accounting for about 15% of the international dialysis population.

Full text
Abstract:
The concept of sustainability refers to the human awakening about the finite nature of natural resources. Occurring as a political and social process, sustainability placed on development agendas the discussion about the limitations on the biosphere to sustain economic growth; access to basic conditions of universal healthcare and education; and the threat posed to ancient cultural traditions. This process led to the creation of an interdisciplinary research field with transdisciplinary impacts. This chapter, “Sustainability Sciences: Political and Epistemological Approaches,” discusses the challenges of knowledge production in this field as well as its historical development alongside environmental and political issues. The discussion is established from the historical development of environmental issues and the international political movement that culminated in the perspective of sustainability; of the evolution of sustainability as a scientific research field; and finally from the political and epistemological aspects that shape the sustainability sciences.
