The Avocado Debate
Whether smashed on toast or hailed as a superfood, the avocado has taken the world by storm, but what are the environmental and social impacts of this trendy fruit?This book does not seek to demonise the avocado and its many enthusiasts.Instead, it will illuminate consumers on the often unseen impacts of foods.A staple of cafes, restaurants, homes, and social media channels, demand for the avocado has grown exponentially over the past thirty years.From an everyday crop in South and Central America to a global phenomenon, this drastic change in demand has many consequences for people and the planet.As demand grows, so does the need for more land, with land clearances threatening habitats and biodiversity.As production grows, so does global distribution and the impacts that air and sea travel have on the environment.The shift from a local to a global product disturbs the local food system, raising serious questions around food sovereignty and food justice and the importance of establishing an agricultural system that is both environmentally and socially just.While focusing here on the avocado, this book allows readers to gain a better understanding of the food system as a whole.In doing so, it empowers us all to think carefully and critically about the environmental and ethical implications of our food choices more broadly.We shouldn’t feel guilty about eating avocados, we should simply understand the impact of doing so. This book is essential reading for all who are interested in learning more about the food system, sustainable diets, and the relationship between farming and the environment.

The Feudalism Debate
This volume arose as part of global interest in the problematic of feudalism in the 1980s, opening up both its theoretical premises and the empirical basis to extensive, deep, and varied explorations.Most exploration were grounded in Marxist theory. In 1981, Harbans Mukhia’s essay, ‘Was There Feudalism in Indian History?’ was published in The Journal of Peasant Studies, which triggered an international debate on the problem in the journal’s special issue in 1985 and some subsequent issues.Among the central questions was the tension between the Marxist conception of capitalism as the first world system and several Marxist historians’ construction of feudalism as a universal category.The spatial dimensions of the problem were extended to include China, Turkey, and Arabia, besides Europe and India, in the course of the debate.The questioning of some of the received wisdom understandably leads to both fierce defence on its behalf as well as further questions.

Political Participation on Social Media : The Lived Experience of Online Debate
This book explores people’s lived experience of discussing politics online.Based on original research involving in-depth conversations with 85 participants around the UK, it asks people about their own understanding of their online engagement, focusing on major UK political events and related debates –the Scottish Independence Referendum, the EU Referendum and the UK Labour Party leadership contests.It shows how people’s experiences are varied and influenced by many factors, but with a focus on personal feelings, needs and concerns as much as wider political ones.Participants struggle with self-awareness and understanding the motives and actions of others, which has an impact on their behaviour and perceived efficacy.They can have profound emotional responses owing to the constraints of using social media but still value it as a medium for political learning and self-expression.Communication effects in this environment are complex and unpredictable – there is much ‘crosstalk’.Social media itself is proving to be an unprecedented learning environment, where people begin to better understand their own behaviour and that of others and adapt over time.

The Habermas-Luhmann Debate
Fifty years ago, the two leading German philosophers and sociologists since the Second World War, Jürgen Habermas and Niklas Luhmann, embarked on a sweeping and contentious debate that would continue for decades.Their coauthored 1971 book Theory of Society or Social Technology laid out their opposing positions on meaning, communication, consensus, and dissent—and ultimately the foundations of modern social thought.Habermas and Luhmann would elaborate their disagreement in the years to come in a controversy whose aftershocks divided social theorists by presenting what appeared to be two fundamentally divergent views of the nature of society and what systems theory was capable of explaining. This is the first book in English about one of the most important conflicts in social theory today.Gorm Harste analyzes the Habermas-Luhmann debate from its inception through Habermas’s most recent works, exploring issues such as methodology, ideology, truth, history, and politics.He contextualizes their positions in terms of how each grappled with the legacy of Nazism and sought to provide grounding for an antitotalitarian politics.Harste follows the evolution of the debate, as the fundamental dispute over the normative and practical desirability of agreement and disagreement came to touch upon political questions including the rule of law, the separation of powers, human rights, individualization, and secularization.Ultimately, Harste emphasizes the convergence between Habermas and Luhmann—and the pressing need for social theorists to further unite these two formative accounts of contemporary society.
