Oikos - Domus - Household: The Many Lives of a Common Word describes historic episodes in the lives of these words, from the Greek oikos and Roman domus to our current family and home. This book also describes how these words and their current equivalents, home and family, are used as metaphors to illustrate how people who count are supposed to live and also to justify disinterest in people who do not count.

David K. O'Rourke writes extensively in the area of cultural history with an emphasis on the destructive power of social idealisms. Most recently he co-wrote and produced the documentary film Red Terror on the Amber Coast, describing the Soviet's fifty-year occupation of the Baltic Republics after the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. He is the author of Demons by Definition: Social Idealism, Religious Nationalism, and the Demonizing of Dissent (Lang, 1998) and How America's First Settlers Invented Chattel Slavery: Dehumanizing Native Americans and Africans with Language, Laws, Guns and Religion (Lang, 2005, 2009). He also writes on current issues in re-establishing the intellectual life in post-Soviet Eastern Europe.
