STOLEN FRAGMENTS
Black Markets, Bad Faith, and the Illicit Trade
in Ancient Artefacts
R O BE R TA M A Z Z A
In 2012, Steve Green, billionaire and president of the Hobby Lobby chain of
craft stores, announced a recent purchase of a Biblical artefact—a fragment of
papyrus, just discovered, carrying lines from Paul’s letter to the Romans, and
dated to the second century CE. Noted scholar Roberta Mazza was stunned.
When was this piece discovered, and how could Green acquire such a rare
item? The answers, which Mazza spent the next ten years uncovering, came as a
shock: the fragment had come from a famous collection held at Oxford Univer-
sity, and its rightful owners had no idea it had been sold.
The letter to the Romans was not the only extraordinary piece in the
Green collection. They soon announced newly recovered fragments from the
Gospels and writings of Sappho. Mazza’s quest to confirm the provenance of
these priceless fragments revealed shadowy global networks that make big
business of ancient manuscripts, from the Greens’ Museum of the Bible and
world-famous auction houses like Sotheby’s and Christie’s, to antique shops in
Jerusalem and Istanbul, dealers on eBay, and into the collections of renowned
museums and universities.
Mazza’s investigation forces us to ask what happens when the supposed
custodians of our ancient heritage act in ways that threaten to destroy it. Stolen
Fragments illuminates how these recent dealings are not isolated events, but
the inevitable result of longstanding colonial practices and the outcome of
generations of scholars who have profited from extracting the cultural heritage
of places they claim they wish to preserve. Where is the boundary between
protection and exploitation, between scholarship and larceny?

always seen as violating a moral norm or inviting indignation. Could the con-

Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five, Grimmelshausen’s 1668 novel Simplicissimus,
David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas, Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of
Solitude, Homero Aridjis’s short novel Smyrna in Flames, and Tolstoy’s Hadji
Murat. What’s achieved is a profound exploration of the longer trajectory of the
emergence of abhorrence and indignation in the face of mass violence and a crit-
ical examination of the conditions for the emergence of cosmopolitanism—the
ability to look at your own nation with the critical eyes of a stranger.
In the presence of atrocity, what we want most is for someone to bear
witness. What is it literature can do with atrocity that simple testimony cannot?
Robbins answers by showing how literature goes beyond the legal paradigm of
accusation. Meanwhile, venturing from the Bible to Zadie Smith, Robbins pur-
sues the bold proposition that, in the midst of relentlessly repetitive slaughter
and nameless, shapeless, irredeemable suffering, humanity’s moral history might
include a cosmopolitan arc.

IS IT RACIST? IS IT SEXIST?
Why Red and Blue White People Disagree, and How to Decide
in the Gray Areas

Is It Racist? Is It Sexist? Two questions that seem simple on their face, but
which invite a host of tangled responses. In this book, Jessi Streib and Betsy
Leondar-Wright offer a new way of understanding how inequalities persist by
focusing on the individual judgment calls that lead us to decide what’s racist,
what’s sexist, and what’s not.
Racism and sexism often seem like optical illusions—with some people sure
they see them and others sure they’re not there—but the lines that most consistent-
ly divide our decisions might surprise you. Indeed, white people’s views of what’s
racist and sexist are increasingly up for grabs. As the largest racial group in the
country and the group that occupies the most and the highest positions of power,
what they decide is racist and sexist helps determine the contours of inequality.
By asking white people—Southerners and Northerners, Republicans and
Democrats, working-class and professional-middle-class, men and women—to
decide whether specific interactions and institutions are racist, sexist, or not,
Streib and Leondar-Wright take us on a journey through the decision-making
processes of white people in America. By presenting them with a variety of
scenarios, the authors are able to distinguish the responses as being characteristic
of different patterns of reasoning. They produce a framework for understanding
these patterns that invites us all to engage with each other in a new way, even on
topics that might divide us.
Is It Racist? Is It Sexist? will leave you questioning how you decide whether a
joke, a hiring decision, or a policy change is or isn’t racist or sexist, and will give
you new tools for making more accurate and productive judgment calls.

CRISIS COMES.
Crisis-Ready Teams explains how any team, and any team leader, in any industry
can (and should) proactively prepare to manage the inevitable but unpredict-
able crises that could seriously harm their organizations. The book is based
on extensive, unprecedented research on crisis team dynamics, key success
behaviors, and why some teams perform so much better than others. Leading
scholars Mary J. Waller and Seth A. Kaplan recorded and statistically analyzed
audio and video recordings of hundreds of hours of crisis simulations involv-
ing flight crews, nuclear power plant control rooms, mine rescues, emergency
room doctors and nurses, etc. Based on this empirical research, and other
academic literature on teams perform in crises, the authors show how teams
and leaders can cement high-performance behaviors, especially in the first few
crucial minutes of a crisis.
While valuable for teams and leaders, this book provides a valuable
framework and research data for scholars studying crises and teams in organi-
zations. It will also be useful for MBA or executive education instruction on
crisis management and leadership.

of Business at Colorado State University. Prior to com-
pleting her Ph.D., she worked in petroleum, aviation, and

Against the backdrop of the global refugee crisis, Unsettled Families investigates
the parameters that Global North governments and international humanitarian
organizations use to classify most displaced families—more than 99% globally—
as ineligible for resettlement, and often as fraudulent. But “fraud” as a category is
not as self-evident as it may first appear. Nor is “the family.” Based on long-term
fieldwork between Nairobi, Kenya and Columbus, Ohio, Sophia Balakian tells
stories of Somali and Congolese refugees navigating a complicated global assem-
blage of humanitarian organizations, immigration bureaucracies, and national
security agencies as they seek permanent, new homes. Viewing the concepts
of “fraud” and “family” from different vantage points in this context, Balakian
shows how the categories begin to blur out of focus, sometimes to evaporate
altogether; what seems to be contained within them scatter outside their received
boundaries. Practices that resettlement organizations deem fraudulent are often
understood by people living as refugees to be moral actions in an unequal world.
Such practices allow them to fulfill obligations to kin—kin defined expansively,
in ways that at times exceed the boundaries of normative, US frameworks. Bring-
ing questions of kinship into current discussions on humanitarianism, Balakian
locates “the family” as a crucial category in processes of producing, policing,
and contesting the boundaries of nation-states, and of the nature of securitized
humanitarianism in the 21st century.

A digital world in relentless movement—from artificial intelligence to ubiquitous

computing—has been captured and reinvented as a monoculture by Silicon
Valley “big tech” and venture capital firms. Yet very little is discussed in the public
sphere about existing alternatives. Based on long-term field research across San
Francisco, Tokyo, and Shenzhen, Common Circuits explores a transnational net-
work of hacker spaces that stand as potent, but often invisible, alternatives to the
dominant technology industry. In what ways have hackers challenged corporate
projects of digital development? How do hacker collectives prefigure more just
technological futures through community projects? Luis Felipe R. Murillo re-
sponds to these urgent questions with an analysis of the hard challenges of collab-
orative, autonomous community-making through technical objects conceived by
hackers as convivial, shared technologies.
Through rich explorations of hacker space histories and biographical
sketches of hackers who participate in them, Murillo describes the social and
technical conditions that allowed for the creation of community projects such as
anonymity and privacy networks to counter mass surveillance; community-made
monitoring devices to measure radioactive contamination; and small-scale open
hardware fabrication for the purposes of technological autonomy. Murillo shows
how hacker collectives point us toward brighter technological futures—a renewal
of the “digital commons”—where computing projects are constantly being repur-
posed for the common good.

This volume of the Complete Works provides the first English translation of
Nietzsche’s unpublished notes from Summer 1886 through Fall 1887. In these
writings we find drafts of new prefaces for the second editions of his earlier ALSO OF INTEREST:
works, notes for the soon-to-appear On the Genealogy of Morality, and crucially,
fragments and plans for an anticipated “master work” under the title “The Will
to Power.” This projected work, as is now well-known, was never written by
Nietzsche; instead, it was fraudulently assembled by his sister Elisabeth Först-
er-Nietzsche and his friend Heinrich Köselitz (aka Peter Gast) and published
under Nietzsche’s name after his death. Only now, with the publication of this
volume and the ones that precede and follow it, are English readers able to
examine for themselves the full set of unpublished writings of the last creative
period of Nietzsche’s life. Taking into account the latest editorial work on his
final notebooks, and including a detailed account by Mazzino Montinari of
Nietzsche’s decision not to complete a “master work,” this volume documents
the evolution of Nietzsche’s thinking on such important themes as nihilism,
eternal recurrence, and the revaluation of all values as it presents his late
Nachlass free from the distortions perpetrated against it over a century ago.
