Many had been imported to the sciences from the vernacular languages of English, German, Spanish, and French, but he finds that in recent decades they have migrated back into the vernacular - stripped of their specialized meanings.

Neumann, in his "Behemoth" , stated that the Nazis needed a fictitious enemy in order to unify the completely atomized German society into one large "Volksgemeinschaft".

The terrorization of Jews was a prototype of the terror to be used against other peoples. Arendt contends in "The Origins of Totalitarianism" that it was imperialism which brought about Nazism, Nazi antisemitism, and the Holocaust.

The book will be of great interest to those teaching and studying courses on cross-cultural counselling and psychotherapy and also multicultural social work.

I had never heard of Macalester College, but having grown up in South Dakota, I had always thought that the Twin Cities would be a wonderful place to live.
