‘In this fresh and boldly innovative study, H. Floris Cohen challenges the general reader with a new, long-term, global framework for thinking comparatively about the historical conditions that produced those recognisably modern forms of scientific knowledge that took root in seventeenth-century Europe.’ Robert S. Westman, University of California, San Diego ‘The Needham Question asks why modern science only emerged from Western Europe after the Renaissance and why it did not emerge from earlier civilisations whose scientific knowledge had been far in advance of the Latin West, such as China and the civilisation of Islam. There has been no satisfactory answer until this book. In a brilliant tour de force H. Floris Cohen not only solves Needham’s puzzle but also provides a superb account of the so-called Scientific Revolution, that sea-change in the history of science which turned out to be the origin from which modern Western science exploded into world civilisation.’ John Henry, University of Edinburgh ‘Covering a period that stretches from classical antiquity to the seventeenth century, H. Floris Cohen explains to a wide readership how modern science emerged in Europe as a result of a series of historical contingencies. Cohen is to be applauded for writing a highly accessible account of one of Europe’s greatest intellectual adventures.’

THE RISE OF MODERN SCIENCE EXPLAINED

For centuries, laymen and priests, lone thinkers and philosophical schools in Greece, China, the Islamic world and Europe reflected with wisdom and perseverance on how the natural world fits together. As a rule, their methods and conclusions, while often ingenious, were misdirected when viewed from the perspective of modern science. In the 1600s, thinkers such as Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, Bacon and many others gave revolutionary new twists to traditional ideas and practices, culminating in the work of Isaac Newton half a century later. It was as if the world was being created anew. But why did this re-creation begin in Europe rather than elsewhere? This book caps H. Floris Cohen’s career-long effort to find answers to this classic question. Here he sets forth a rich but highly accessible account of what, against many odds, made it happen and why.

Steven Lubet, Northwestern University School of Law Author of The “Colored Hero” of Harper’s Ferry: John Anthony Copeland and the War against Slavery I first encountered John Anthony Copeland when researching the OberlinWellington Rescue, in which he led the charge to free a fugitive slave from bounty hunters. Barely a year later, he joined John Brown at Harper’s Ferry. Copeland was a hero in struggle against slavery, although he has too often been overlooked by historians and biographers of the antebellum era. I wrote this book to bring him – as well as the other African-Americans who joined John Brown – out of the shadows.

Accommodating Rising Powers Past, Present, and Future Edited by T. V. Paul McGill University, Montréal

This volume explores if, and when, peaceful accommodation of rising powers can work even under conditions which generate intense rivalry and conflict. Although structural factors can generate wars, it argues that proper synchronization of strategies for peaceful change by established and rising powers can mitigate the possibilities of violent conflict. Advance praise: ‘This volume takes on an important and timely topic: how should the world manage interstate power shifts in the interest of keeping peace and stability? The contributing authors study both past and current encounters between established and rising powers. They offer valuable insights for scholars and officials alike.’ Steve Chan, College Professor of Distinction, University of Colorado, Boulder

The Material Atlantic Clothing, Commerce, and Colonization in the Atlantic World, 1650–1800 Robert DuPlessis Swarthmore College, Pennsylvania

In this wide-ranging account, Robert DuPlessis examines globally sourced textiles that by dramatically altering consumer behaviour, helped create new economies and societies in the early modern world. This deeply researched history of cloth and clothing offers new insights into trade patterns, consumer demand and sartorial cultures that emerged across the Atlantic world between the mid-seventeenth and late-eighteenth centuries. As a result of European settlement and the construction of commercial networks stretching across much of the planet, men and women across a wide spectrum of ethnicities, social standings and occupations fashioned their garments from materials old and new, familiar and strange, and novel meanings came to be attached to different fabrics and modes of dress. The Material Atlantic illuminates crucial developments that characterised early modernity, from colonialism and slavery to economic innovation and new forms of social identity. 2015 228 x 152 mm 320pp 15 b/w illus. 16 colour illus. 6 maps 9 tables 978-1-107-10591-1 Hardback £24.99 / US$29.99 For all formats available, see

Legacies of Empire Imperial Roots of the Contemporary Global Order Edited by Sandra Halperin Royal Holloway, University of London

and Ronen Palan City University London

Structures and practices associated with past empires continue to shape the contemporary world in surprising ways. Modern armies, multiculturalism, globalised finance, modern city-states, and the United Nations are grounded in or shaped by the legacies of past empires. This book also considers the likely legacies of the current American ‘empire’. ‘This illuminating book examines assemblages of imperial institutions and practices that combine with those of the modern nation-state. Uniformly intriguing and innovative essays illustrate that contemporary world politics is a patchwork of the old and the new. It thus offers imaginative vistas that enrich our sparse theoretical models and open up new areas for research.’ Peter J. Katzenstein, Walter S.

This interdisciplinary, comprehensive and comparative textbook is authored by distinguished scholars and experienced teachers. Volume 1 spans the origin of hominids to ancient civilizations, the rise of empires, and the Middle Ages. ‘Moving beyond the traditional world history narratives focused on empires, countries, or regions, this unique textbook focuses instead on the connections and interactions of empires, city-states, and central states, allowing for a richer and coherent description of the impact of globalization and deglobalization on ordinary people’s lives. This new and more comprehensive approach makes this an ideal textbook for many undergraduate courses in sociology, history, and social studies.’ Carmenza Gallo, Queens College and Graduate Center, City University of New York

Global Networks and New Histories Edited by Francesca Bray

Cotton The Fabric that Made the Modern World Giorgio Riello University of Warwick

Today’s world textile and garment trade is valued at a staggering $425 billion. We are told that under the pressure of increasing globalisation, it is India and China that are the new world manufacturing powerhouses. However, this is not a new phenomenon: until the industrial revolution, Asia manufactured great quantities of colourful printed cottons that were sold to places as far afield as Japan, West Africa and Europe. Cotton explores this earlier globalised economy and its transformation after 1750 as cotton led the way in the industrialisation of Europe. By the early nineteenth century, India, China and the Ottoman Empire switched from world producers to buyers of European cotton textiles, a position that they retained for over two hundred years. This is a fascinating and insightful story which ranges from Asian and European technologies and African slavery to cotton plantations in the Americas and consumer desires across the globe. ‘… a remarkable volume full of insight and originality … Riello deserves a wide audience and the book will be of interest to a readership well beyond the audience for world economic history, including cultural and social history, the histories of art, design, fashion and, of course, textiles themselves.’ Reviews in History (history.ac.uk/reviews) 2015 247 x 174 mm 436pp 103 b/w illus. 46 colour illus. 10 maps 12 tables 978-0-521-16670-6 Paperback £16.99 / US$22.99 For all formats available, see

A Concise History of the World

The Cambridge History of Christianity

Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks

A comprehensive chronological account of the development of Christianity in all its aspects from its beginnings to the present day.

University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee

This book tells the story of humankind as producers and reproducers from the Paleolithic to the present. Renowned social and cultural historian Merry Wiesner-Hanks brings a new perspective to world history by examining social and cultural developments across the globe, including families and kin groups, social and gender hierarchies, sexuality, race and ethnicity, labor, religion, consumption, and material culture. She examines how these structures and activities changed over time through local processes and interactions with other cultures, highlighting key developments that defined particular eras such as the growth of cities or the creation of a global trading network. Incorporating foragers, farmers and factory workers along with shamans, scribes and secretaries, the book widens and lengthens human history. It makes comparisons and generalizations, but also notes diversities and particularities, as it examines the social and cultural matters that are at the heart of big questions in world history today. ‘Few authors have the courage to write a short history of the long human career, and fewer still have the skill to pull it off. Merry Wiesner-Hanks succeeds admirably in fashioning an intelligible story out of the seeming chaos of history. Her book is unique among world histories in the extent of its attention to gender, marriage, family, inequality and other social themes.’ John McNeill, author of The Human Web: A Bird’s-Eye View of World History

World history during the first phases of European global expansion. ‘This superb historical sociological exploration of the Indian Ocean system in effect provides a compelling and vitally important doubleprovincialisation of Westphalia: first, by revealing how heteronomous rather than (Westphalian) homogenous international orders have constituted the norm in world political history; and second, by revealing the critical point that the standard Westphalian logic of homogenization reflects a Eurocentric conception that simply does not stand up when applied to the non-Western world.’

Of Limits and Growth The Rise of Global Sustainable Development in the Twentieth Century Stephen J. Macekura Indiana University, Bloomington

Of Limits and Growth connects three of the most important aspects of the twentieth century: decolonization, the rise of environmentalism, and United States’ support for economic development and modernization in the Third World. It links these trends by revealing how environmental NGOs challenged and reformed development approaches of the US government, World Bank, and United Nations from the 1960s through the 1990s. ‘This illuminating book shows the decisive role NGOs played in affixing ‘sustainable’ to ‘development’. But sustainability’s popularity can be a function of how it smoothes over or obscures real differences among various constituencies regarding the ends and means of development … the book offers a revealing story about the power of NGOs to influence world affairs even as it demonstrates their limits.’ David Ekbladh, Tufts University, Massachusetts

The Cambridge World History General Editor Merry E. WiesnerHanks

The Cambridge World History is an authoritative new overview of the dynamic field of world history. It covers the whole of human history, not simply history since the development of written records, in an expanded time frame that represents the latest thinking in world and global history. With over two hundred essays, it is the most comprehensive account yet of the human past, and it draws on a broad international pool of leading academics from a wide range of scholarly disciplines. Reflecting the increasing awareness that world history can be examined through many different approaches and at varying geographic and chronological scales, each volume offers regional, topical, and comparative essays alongside case studies that provide depth of coverage to go with the breadth of vision that is the distinguishing characteristic of world history.

The Cambridge World History Volume 1: Introducing World History, to 10,000 BCE Edited by David Christian Macquarie University, Sydney

Volume 1 of The Cambridge World History is an introduction to both the discipline of world history and the earliest phases of world history up to 10,000 BCE. In Part I leading scholars outline the approaches, methods, and themes that have shaped and defined world history scholarship

across the world and right up to the present day. Chapters examine the historiographical development of the field globally, periodization, divergence and convergence, belief and knowledge, technology and innovation, family, gender, anthropology, migration, and fire. Part II surveys the vast Paleolithic era, which laid the foundations for human history, and concentrates on the most recent phases of hominin evolution, the rise of Homo sapiens and the very earliest human societies through to the end of the last ice age. Anthropologists, archaeologists, historical linguists and historians examine climate and tools, language, and culture, as well as offering regional perspectives from across the world.

The Cambridge World History Volume 2: A World with Agriculture, 12,000 BCE–500 CE Edited by Graeme Barker University of Cambridge

and Candice Goucher Washington State University

The development of agriculture has often been described as the most important change in all of human history. Volume 2 of The Cambridge World History explores the origins and impact of agriculture and agricultural communities, and also discusses issues associated with pastoralism and hunterfisher-gatherer economies. To capture the patterns of this key change across the globe, the volume uses an expanded timeframe from 12,000 BCE–500 CE, beginning with the Neolithic and continuing into later periods. Scholars from a range of disciplines, including archaeology, historical linguistics, biology, anthropology, and history, trace common developments in the more complex social structures and cultural forms that agriculture enabled, such as sedentary villages and more elaborate foodways, and then present a series of regional overviews accompanied by detailed case studies from many

different parts of the world, including Southwest Asia, South Asia, China, Japan, Southeast Asia and the Pacific, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Americas, and Europe.

The Cambridge World History Volume 3: Early Cities in Comparative Perspective, 4000 BCE–1200 CE Edited by Norman Yoffee University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

From the fourth millennium BCE to the early second millennium CE the world became a world of cities. This volume explores this critical transformation, from the appearance of the earliest cities in Mesopotamia and Egypt to the rise of cities in Asia and the Mediterranean world, Africa, and the Americas. Through case studies and comparative accounts of key cities across the world, leading scholars chart the ways in which these cities grew as nodal points of pilgrimages and ceremonies, exchange, storage and redistribution, and centres for defence and warfare. They show how in these cities, along with their associated and restructured countrysides, new rituals and ceremonies connected leaders with citizens and the gods, new identities as citizens were created, and new forms of power and sovereignty emerged. They also examine how this unprecedented concentration of people led to disease, violence, slavery and subjugations of unprecedented kinds and scales.

The Cambridge World History Volume 4: A World with States, Empires and Networks, 1200 BCE–900 CE Edited by Craig Benjamin Grand Valley State University, Michigan

From 1200 BCE to 900 CE, the world witnessed the rise of powerful new states and empires, as well as networks of cross-cultural exchange and conquest. Considering the formation and expansion of these large-scale entities, this fourth volume of The Cambridge World History outlines key economic, political, social, cultural, and intellectual developments that occurred across the globe in this period. Leading scholars examine critical transformations in science and technology, economic systems, attitudes towards gender and family, social hierarchies, education, art, and slavery. The second part of the volume focuses on broader processes of change within western and central Eurasia, the Mediterranean, South Asia, Africa, East Asia, Europe, the Americas and Oceania, as well as offering regional studies highlighting specific topics, from trade along the Silk Roads and across the Sahara, to Chaco culture in the US southwest, to Confucianism and the state in East Asia.

Volume 5 of The Cambridge World History uncovers the cross-cultural exchange and conquest, and the accompanying growth of regional and trans-regional states, religions, and economic systems, during the period 500 to 1500. The volume begins by outlining a series of core issues and processes across the world, including human relations with nature, gender and family, social hierarchies, education, and warfare. Further essays examine maritime and land-based networks of long-distance trade and migration in agricultural and nomadic societies, and the transmission and exchange of cultural forms, scientific knowledge, technologies, and text-based religious systems that accompanied these. The final section surveys the development of centralized regional states and empires in both the eastern and western hemispheres. Together these essays by an international team of leading authors show how processes furthering cultural, commercial, and political integration within and between various regions of the world made this millennium a ‘proto-global’ era.

The era from 1400 to 1800 saw intense biological, commercial, and cultural exchanges, and the creation of global connections on an unprecedented scale. Divided into two books, Volume 6 of The Cambridge World History considers these critical transformations. The first book examines the material and political foundations of the era, including global considerations of the environment, disease, technology, and cities, along with regional studies of empires in the eastern and western hemispheres, crossroads areas such as the Indian Ocean, Central Asia, and the Caribbean, and sites of competition and conflict, including Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Mediterranean. The second book focuses on patterns of change, examining the expansion of Christianity and Islam, migrations, warfare, and other topics on a global scale, and offering insightful detailed analyses of the Columbian exchange, slavery, silver, trade, entrepreneurs, Asian religions, legal encounters, plantation economies, early industrialism, and the writing of history.

Since 1750, the world has become ever more connected, with processes of production and destruction no longer limited by land- or water-based modes of transport and communication. Volume 7 of The Cambridge World History, divided into two books, offers a variety of angles of vision on the increasingly interconnected history of humankind. The first book examines structures, spaces, and processes within which and through which the modern world was created, including the environment, energy, technology, population, disease, law, industrialization, imperialism, decolonization, nationalism, and socialism, along with key world regions.

The era from 1400 to 1800 saw intense biological, commercial, and cultural exchanges, and the creation of global connections on an unprecedented scale. Divided into two books, Volume 6 of The Cambridge World History considers these critical transformations. The first book examines the material and political foundations of the era, including global considerations of the environment, disease, technology, and cities, along with regional studies of empires in the eastern and western hemispheres, crossroads areas such as the Indian Ocean, Central Asia, and the Caribbean, and sites of competition and conflict, including Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Mediterranean. The second book focuses on patterns of change, examining the expansion of Christianity and Islam, migrations, warfare, and other topics on a global scale, and offering insightful detailed analyses of the Columbian exchange, slavery, silver, trade, entrepreneurs, Asian religions, legal encounters, plantation economies, early industrialism, and the writing of history.

The Old English Penitentials diverge significantly from their Latin sources, and the specific divergences may indicate ecclesiastical attitudes in Anglo-Saxon England. Particularly interesting are the book’s discussions of the laws of marriage and of slavery.

Imperial Underworld An Escaped Convict and the Transformation of the British Colonial Order Kirsten McKenzie

Colonial Relations The Douglas-Connolly Family and the Nineteenth-Century Imperial World Adele Perry University of Manitoba, Canada

A new perspective on the nineteenthcentury imperial world through one family’s history across North America, the Caribbean and United Kingdom. Revealing how these figures demonstrate complicated historical trajectories of empire and nation, Adele Perry illustrates how gender, intimacy, and family were key to making and remaking imperial politics. ‘Adele Perry has given us a richly textured account of a prominent and influential ‘Canadian’ family whose networks and tendrils shaped the histories of Vancouver Island and the interdependent imperial worlds beyond it. A cultural history of complexly social selves, Colonial Relations never loses sight of the work of intimacy in the making of colonial connection, the centrality of marriage to the political economy of settler colonialism, or the malleability of race and gender and sexuality in the grip of imperial power. Perry’s history of the Connollys and the Douglases is brimming with insight and wisdom and archive stories that we will be reckoning with for years to come.’ Antoinette Burton, University of Illinois Critical Perspectives on Empire

The Process and Practice of Reaching Agreement Edited by Graham Spencer University of Portsmouth

A compelling inside account of how senior government officials and civil servants shaped the Northern Ireland peace process. Key figures talk openly about their roles and how pragmatism, inclusivity and cohesion enabled the transition from war to peace in Northern Ireland. ‘This book is an invaluable addition to examining what happened ‘behind the scenes’ at governmental level in the peace process. Graham Spencer has done a great service in helping us to understand the decision-making processes that went on amongst senior British civil servants and officials and this combination of authored chapters and penetrating interviews provides a wide-ranging analysis of tensions and problems that had to be dealt with before political agreement could be reached. There are many lessons to be found about negotiation in this illuminating and important study and we should thank Graham Spencer for that.’ Bertie Ahern, Taoiseach of Ireland, 1997–2008 2015 228 x 152 mm 374pp 978-1-107-04287-2 Hardback £55.00 / US$95.00 978-1-107-61750-6 Paperback £19.99 / US$36.99 For all formats available, see

British Art and the First World War, 1914–1924 James Fox University of Cambridge

The First World War is usually believed to have had a catastrophic effect on British art, killing artists and movements, and creating a mood of belligerent philistinism around the nation. In this book, however, James Fox paints a very different picture of artistic life in wartime Britain. ‘James Fox has written an impeccably researched, original and stimulating account of British art and the First World War. This important study will change our understanding of the War’s impact on the relationship between British art and British society and will open up significant new avenues of interpretation and research.’ David Peters Corbett, editor of A Companion to British Art: 1600 to the Present Studies in the Social and Cultural History of Modern Warfare

History of native American peoples Indigenous Intellectuals Sovereignty, Citizenship, and the American Imagination, 1880–1930 Kiara M. Vigil Amherst College, Massachusetts

From the 1880s and into the 1930s, Native people participated in debates regarding how to determine and define the boundaries of Indian ethnic identity and tribal citizenship. Indigenous Intellectuals traces the narrative discourses created by four influential American Indian intellectuals and discussions about citizenship, race, and modernity in the US. ‘Kiara Vigil demonstrates that two plus two can equal much more than four, as she deftly builds a collective cultural biography that re-imagines in networked terms the American Indian intellectuals of the early twentieth century. Beautifully written and thoroughly researched, Indigenous Intellectuals places Indian thought, performance, and politics at the heart of American modernity.’ Philip J.

This study traces the lives of settlers from the alpine world they left behind to their struggle for survival on the southern frontier of America. ‘Deftly navigating central European and North American archival sources and using micro-biography techniques, James V. H. Melton brings to life the religious and material dimensions of the Salzburger community, the First Peoples of the North American Southeast, and the enslaved Africans in the context of Atlantic history. No other study of this eighteenth-century British colonial experiment illustrates as succinctly both the admirable and the lamentable adaptability of human actors and whole communities to dominant religious, cultural, economic, and social attitudes and practices.’ Gregg Roeber, Max Kade German-American Research Institute, Pennsylvania State University Cambridge Studies on the American South

Frontier Democracy Constitutional Conventions in the Old Northwest Silvana R. Siddali Saint Louis University, Missouri

Frontier Democracy examines the debates over state constitutions in the antebellum Northwest (Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin) from the 1820s through the 1850s. This is a book about conversations: in particular, the fights and negotiations over the core ideals in the constitutions that brought these frontier communities to life. ‘Silvana Siddali’s manuscript is informative and significant for understanding antebellum political culture in the Old Northwest, especially the deep roots that democracy had sunk. Her description of how the delegates, general public, and reform groups stimulated democratic discourse over a multitude of legal topics is unique among histories of constitutional conventions in the Old Northwest. Her command of the literature on such a vast array of topics is not only astounding, it is mind-boggling.’ James L.

The Mind of James Madison The Legacy of Classical Republicanism Colleen A. Sheehan Villanova University, Pennsylvania

This book provides a compelling and incisive portrait of James Madison, the scholar and political philosopher. Through extensive historical research and analysis of Madison’s heretofore underappreciated 1791 ‘Notes on Government’, Madison’s scholarly contributions are cast in a new light, yielding a richer, more comprehensive understanding of his political thought than ever before. ‘Colleen Sheehan places James Madison’s ‘Notes on Government’ in the history of political thought and thus further reveals Madison as a

Early republic and antebellum history political philosopher and not just a partisan tactician. In addition to this important discovery, she has included Madison’s ‘Notes’ in a book that is now indispensable for seminars in American political thought and the early republic.’ Jeremy D.

James Madison and Constitutional Imperfection Jeremy D. Bailey University of Houston

This book presents a provocative account of James Madison’s political thought by focusing on Madison’s treatment of the problem of constitutional imperfection. Its repositioning of Madison’s political thought will be of interest to specialists in American political thought, historians of the early republic, as well as students of constitutional identity. ‘Jeremy Bailey’s remarkable and transformative book does what great scholarship always does: forces us to reconceptualize and reconsider categories we have long taken for granted. By carefully and systematically dislodging James Madison’s evolving thought from what he calls the ‘Madisonian Constitutionalism’ that has to this point set the boundaries of our conversation, Bailey has given us a considerably more complex story and made it impossible to read Madison in the same old way again.’ Brian Steele, author of Thomas Jefferson and American Nationhood 2015 228 x 152 mm 192pp 1 table 978-1-107-12160-7 Hardback £59.99 / US$94.99 978-1-107-54742-1 Paperback £19.99 / US$29.99 For all formats available, see

Thomas Jefferson and American Nationhood Brian Steele University of Alabama, Birmingham

This book describes Thomas Jefferson as the essential teller of what he once called the ‘American Story’ and argues that his confidence about America’s greatness was rooted less in his famously cosmic optimism and more in his extensive empirical assessment of American character. ‘Steele’s Jefferson is much more complicated than a provincial Virginia planter with a cosmopolitan twist; he is the consummate architect of American nationalism precisely because he imagined and articulated a powerful understanding of Americans as a special people – a cultural and political nation – whose unique character transcended region or class and had universal significance.’ Drew R.

Rethinking American Emancipation Legacies of Slavery and the Quest for Black Freedom Edited by William A. Link University of Florida

and James J. Broomall University of North Florida

The nine essays in this volume unpack the long history and varied meanings of the emancipation of American slaves. Together, the contributions argue that 1863 did not mark an end point or a mission accomplished in black freedom; rather, it initiated the beginning of an ongoing, contested process. Advance praise: ‘Rethinking American Emancipation introduces new scholarly perspectives on the black freedom struggle and expands our understanding of emancipation in the context and aftermath of the American Civil War. Highlighting the ways in which emancipation was claimed, contested, and remembered, this terrific collection is a must-read for anyone interested in slavery and freedom. Its provocative and original arguments establish new standards in the field that will inform scholarly debates for years to come.’ Crystal Feimster, Yale University Cambridge Studies on the American South

Forging Rivals Race, Class, Law, and the Collapse of Postwar Liberalism Reuel Schiller University of California, Hastings College of Law

Forging Rivals tells the story of the rise and fall of postwar liberalism, vividly recounting the attempts of working people, labor lawyers, and civil rights litigators to create a legal system that promoted both economic opportunity and racial egalitarianism. ‘Reuel Schiller documents the growing tensions between two pillars of Democratic liberalism: the labor movement and the civil rights movement. Schiller masterfully describes how these two movements depended on different, and often antithetical, legal systems and how the conflicts between these systems contributed to the hostilities between these one-time allies.

This book provides a narrative historical, postcolonial account of African American religions.

Transatlantic empires, colonial enclosures, and political engagements, as Sylvester Johnson shows, are more than historical contexts; they are forces of

religious formation.

The ‘Colored Hero’ of Harper’s Ferry John Anthony Copeland and the War against Slavery Steven Lubet Northwestern University School of Law

On the night of Sunday, October 16, 1859, hoping to bring about the eventual end of slavery, radical abolitionist John Brown launched an armed attack at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Among his troops, there were only five black men, who have largely been treated as little more than ‘spear carriers’ by Brown’s many biographers and other historians of the antebellum era. This book brings one such man, John Anthony Copeland, directly to center stage. Copeland played a leading role in the momentous Oberlin slave rescue, and he successfully escorted a fugitive to Canada, making him an ideal recruit for Brown’s invasion of Virginia. He fought bravely at Harpers Ferry, only to be captured and charged with murder and treason. With his trademark lively prose and compelling narrative style, Steven Lubet paints a vivid portrait of this young black man who gave his life for freedom. ‘In this vivid account of John Anthony Copeland and his times, Steven Lubet has recovered from unjust obscurity the story of a young man of deep passion and moral commitment. With both narrative verve and a telling eye for the dramatic, he has also given us an intimate portrait of the competing worlds of slavery and abolitionist activism on the cusp of the Civil War. The ‘Colored Hero’ of Harpers Ferry is a significant addition to our understanding of the brave but tragic saga of John Brown and his men.’ Fergus M.

Ensuring America’s Health The Public Creation of the Corporate Health Care System Christy Ford Chapin University of Maryland, Baltimore County

This book provides an in-depth evaluation of the US health care system’s development in the twentieth century. It shows how a unique economic design – the insurance company model – came to dominate health care, bringing with it high costs, corporate medicine, and fragmented, poorly distributed care. ‘Christy Chapin’s Ensuring America’s Health changes the scholarly conversation about the history of our health care system. It explains how both public and private forces created Medicare in 1965 and how the ‘insurance company model’ of health care finance has prevailed ever since. This book is the best treatment we have of the historical dimensions of our current health care crisis and will prove to be an indispensable resource for historians and policy makers.’ Edward Berkowitz, George Washington University

The United States and Fascist Italy The Rise of American Finance in Europe Gian Giacomo Migone Università degli Studi di Torino, Italy

Translated by Molly Tambor Long Island University, New York

By analyzing the enduring relationship between the United States and fascist Italy until Mussolini’s conquest of Ethiopia in 1935, this book provides answers to key questions about the

interconnectedness of America’s rise to hegemonic global financial power in the twentieth century and its support of Italian fascism during this time. ‘Gian Giacomo Migone figures as the foremost authority on Italo-American relations in the Fascist era. In his scintillating magnum opus, he traces fascist foreign policy forward and not backward through the distorted optic of World War II. Americans, he shows, admired Mussolini more than any other foreign statesman in the 1920s. And Rome’s establishment, expertly advised by the Morgan Bank, pursued domestic stability by serving as the privileged partner of the United States. All those who consider fascism inherently expansionist must come to terms with Migone’s brilliantly marshaled evidence.’ Stephen A. Schuker, William W.

This book explores how physical anthropologists struggled to understand variation in bodies and cultures in the twentieth century.

Empire of Timber Labor Unions and the Pacific Northwest Forests Erik Loomis University of Rhode Island

This book will appeal to readers interested in labor and environmental issues, rethinking conventional narratives that workers oppose environmental protections. It addresses the history of timber workers and nature from the Industrial Workers of the World in the 1910s through the battles over protecting the spotted owl in the 1990s. ‘We know a lot about the US environmental movement. There is also a considerable body of scholarship that explores the tumultuous past of unions and unionizing. Forging the links between these historiographies has been rare. Add Empire of Timber to that clutch of pathbreaking studies.’ Char Miller, Pomona College, California

Making Foreigners Immigration and Citizenship Law in America, 1600–2000 Kunal M. Parker University of Miami School of Law

This book will interest the reader who wants to learn about the history of immigration and citizenship law. Covering the span of American history (1600–2000), it connects the history of immigrants with that of domestic subordinated groups and reveals the changing legal meanings of foreignness over the course of American history. ‘Kunal Parker has accomplished the remarkable feat of challenging us to think differently about concepts – what it is to belong, what it is to be alien – that once seemed simple. Untangling the complexities of immigration from the Pilgrims to the Dreamers with a brilliant clarity, [he] traces the way that changing meanings of citizenship have been accompanied by paradoxical redefinitions of what it is to be foreign. As we struggle in our own political moment to reform immigration law, Making Foreigners offers indispensable perspective.’ Linda K. Kerber, University of Iowa New Histories of American Law

The New Cambridge History of American Foreign Relations Volume 1: Dimensions of the Early American Empire, 1754–1865 William Earl Weeks San Diego State University

The four volumes of the Cambridge History of American Foreign Relations have served as the definitive source for the topic. This entirely new first volume argues that the British North American colonists’ pre-existing desire for expansion, security and prosperity is the essence of American foreign relations and the root cause for the creation of the United States. ‘William Weeks is to be congratulated on his concise and masterful synthesis relating the rise of the American republic. His account provides the best explanation we have of how the concept of ‘empire’ can integrate both external and internal developments in the formative era of American history. Teachers and students alike will both admire and benefit greatly from the skill with which Weeks accomplishes this task.’ J. C. A.

Since their publication, the four volumes of the Cambridge History of American Foreign Relations have served as the definitive source for the topic. This second volume of the updated edition describes the dynamics of United States foreign policy from 1865 to 1913, the era when the United States became one of the four great world powers and the world’s greatest economic power. ‘The American Search for Opportunity is vintage LaFeber: provocatively conceived, forcefully argued, and beautifully written. In this revised edition, LaFeber has retained and strengthened his arresting thesis that U.S. policy makers, prompted by a search for markets and flawed racial views, aggressively pursued opportunity and informal empire abroad at the expense of international order and stability.’ Joseph A.

The Cambridge History of Religions in Latin America covers religious history in Latin America from pre-Conquest times until the present. This timely publication is important, firstly, because of the historical and contemporary centrality of religion in the life of Latin America, a region which has been growing in global importance; secondly, for the rapid process of religious change which the region is undergoing; and thirdly, for the region’s religious distinctiveness in global comparative terms, which contributes to its importance for debates over religion, globalization, and modernity, not least because Latin America now has more Catholics and more Pentecostals than any other region of the world. Unlike most works on religion in the region, and in recognition of recent strides in scholarship, this volume addresses the breadth of Latin American religion, including religions of the African diaspora, indigenous spiritual expressions, new religious movements, alternative spiritualities, and secularizing tendencies.

Rethinking Race in Modern Argentina Edited by Paulina Alberto University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

and Eduardo Elena University of Miami

This book reconsiders the relationship between race and nation in Argentina during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It challenges readers to consider new ways of thinking about the meanings of race and its role in the formation of modern nations. Advance praise: ‘This volume brings a new perspective to an important yet neglected aspect of the study of race in the Americas. The contributors carry readers beyond the perception that African and Indigenous Argentines were erased from the construction of national identity. Instead, they show the prevalence of constructions of Africanness, Criollo/Mestizo identity, or the identities of immigrants who were not Christian or not from Europe, to offer fresh insights about state formation, regionalism, leisure, immigration, popular culture and politics.’ Jerry Dávila, University of Illinois

Cuba, the United States, and Cultures of the Transnational Left, 1930–1975 John A. Gronbeck-Tedesco Ramapo College of New Jersey

This book examines the ways in which Cuba’s revolutions of 1933 and 1959 became touchstones for border-crossing endeavors of radical politics and cultural experimentation over the mid-twentieth century. It argues that new networks of solidarity building between US and Cuban allies also brought with them perils and pitfalls that could not be separated from the longer history of US empire in Cuba. ‘This is a wonderfully bold sweep through the history of US–Cuban cultural, literary, and political relations from the early 1930s to the 1960s, emphasizing lengthy transnational commitments to radicalism, revolution, and solidarity. Its interdisciplinary approach and innovative use of popular culture, music, poetry, and politics internationalizes US history in novel ways that will make the book obligatory reading for students of American studies and Latin American history.’ Barry Carr, La Trobe University, Victoria 2015 228 x 152 mm 304pp 9 b/w illus. 978-1-107-08308-0 Hardback £64.99 / US$99.99 For all formats available, see

Mexico’s Cold War Cuba, the United States, and the Legacy of the Mexican Revolution Renata Keller Boston University

This book is a history of the Cold War in Mexico, and Mexico in the Cold War. It uses declassified Mexican and US intelligence sources and Cuban diplomatic records to challenge earlier interpretations that depicted Mexico as a peaceful haven and a weak neighbor forced to submit to US pressure. ‘This important book is a landmark study on Mexico and Cuba and the Cold War. Using an innovative selection of official and grassroots sources as well as previously unavailable Cuban government materials, Keller weaves a fascinating and complex account of how debates over the legacy of the Mexican Revolution shaped Mexico’s engagement with the Cuban Revolution and the United States as well as reconfigured Mexican domestic politics. Students of Mexican, Cuban, and inter-American politics and history will find it invaluable.’ Barry Carr, LaTrobe University, Australia Cambridge Studies in US Foreign Relations

Ancient Teotihuacan Early Urbanism in Central Mexico George L. Cowgill Arizona State University

Long before the Aztecs and 800 miles from Classic Maya centers, Teotihuacan was part of a broad Mesoamerican tradition but had a distinctive personality. This book synthesizes a

century of research, including recent finds, and covers the lives of commoners as well as elites. ‘Drawing on half a century of intimate involvement with the archaeology of Teotihuacan, George L. Cowgill provides a lucid and synthetic account of this iconic early city and civilization. It will appeal to anyone interested in the deep roots of urbanism and human creation of cities.’ David M.

Divining Slavery and Freedom The Story of Domingos Sodré, an African Priest in NineteenthCentury Brazil João José Reis Universidade Federal da Bahia, Brazil

Translated by H. Sabrina Gledhill

Domingos Sodré, an African diviner enslaved in Brazil, managed to obtain his freedom and become a slave owner himself. The book uses Sodré’s 1862 arrest on suspicion of witchcraft as a catalyst for discussing African religion and its place in Brazil’s slave society. ‘The main character in this book was an African born in Lagos and taken to Brazil on a slave ship; but there he obtained manumission and became owner of slaves. Although a diviner and healer, the leading figure of a candomblé house of worship, Domingos Sodré married in a Catholic church. He led a society devoted to buying the freedom of enslaved Africans; however, the organization lent money for a profit. João José Reis offers a brilliant account of the complexities of life in Atlantic slavery. This book is an instant classic.’ Sidney Chalhoub, University of Campinas, Brazil

Medicine and Public Health in Latin America A History Marcos Cueto Fundação ‘Oswaldo Cruz’, Rio de Janeiro

and Steven Palmer University of Windsor, Ontario

This book serves as a concise and synthetic history of medicine and health in Latin America from 1492 to the present, summarizing the social history of medicine, medical education, and public health in Latin America and placing it in dialogue with the international historiographical currents in medicine and health. ‘This remarkable book is the first study to weave together a detailed and sophisticated understanding of the historical transformations of medical education, public health, and medicine in Latin America from the sixteenth to the twenty-first centuries. With a strong narrative, remarkable insights and a thorough examination of some of the most recent findings, research questions, and methodologies, Cueto and Palmer provide a lucid and novel historical reassessment of indigenous medicines, medical pluralism, national and international health agendas, disease eradication, rural health, medical innovations, and global health. Their proposal of two novel concepts, ‘culture of survival’ and ‘health in adversity’, will most definitively enable rich and useful reexaminations of the histories and realities of the flexible, dynamic, contradictory, fragmented and discontinuous public health initiatives, policies and discourses of the region. Inspiring and informative, this book will find an audience in both professional historians and the general public alike.’ Claudia Agostoni, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México New Approaches to the Americas

The Admirable Adventures and Strange Fortunes of Master Anthony Knivet An English Pirate in SixteenthCentury Brazil Anthony Knivet Edited by Vivien Kogut Lessa de Sá University of Cambridge

Anthony Knivet’s Admirable Adventures is the earliest detailed description of Brazil written by an Englishman. His account gives a unique firsthand glimpse into the land and people of early colonial Brazil, including descriptions of native tribes and local habits given for the first time. ‘The story of Anthony Knivet ranks among the most remarkable travel adventures in the sixteenth century … In [this] outstanding edition, Knivet’s neglected account appears with invaluable critical annotation for the first time, together with a superb introduction that sets the work in historical and ethnographic context. We are in her debt for recovering an important but neglected figure whose experience and observations establish him as worthy of serious attention from students and scholars of Renaissance travel.’ Daniel Carey, National University of Ireland, Galway New Approaches to the Americas

Charlemagne’s Practice of Empire Jennifer R. Davis Catholic University of America, Washington DC

The Frankish king Charlemagne conquered most of Western Europe and then had to learn how to govern this vast new empire. The practices of rulership that Charlemagne and his men invented created a new style of politics which shaped subsequent medieval history and helped form Europe as we know it. ‘Historians have rightly emphasized the importance of religion to Charlemagne and his contemporaries. In this refreshingly original, lucid and strongly argued book, Jennifer Davis shows that ideology is only part of the story. Finding what worked empirically was what drove Charlemagne’s practice of empire, and produced some enduring effects.’ Janet Nelson, King’s College London 2015 228 x 152 mm 548pp 3 b/w illus. 2 maps 5 tables 978-1-107-07699-0 Hardback £99.99 / US$155.00 For all formats available, see

Making Early Medieval Societies Conflict and Belonging in the Latin West, 300–1200 Edited by Kate Cooper University of Manchester

and Conrad Leyser University of Oxford

While traditional histories look at the ‘Dark Ages’ in light of the decline of the Roman state and the rise of early medieval kingdoms, Making Early Medieval Societies considers the period from an anthropological perspective, asking how small- and large-scale processes of dispute settlement and conflict resolution endured and evolved. Advance praise: ‘In this groundbreaking collection, the social impact of ‘constructive feuding’ is analysed in terms of how its potential destructive impact in practice was limited by customary rules. Cooper, Leyser and their colleagues have form in challenging accepted understandings of the past through the redrawing of disciplinary boundaries and this exciting volume poses fresh questions with some unexpected answers.’ Jill Harries, University of St Andrews 2016 228 x 152 mm 296pp 978-1-107-13880-3 Hardback £64.99 / US$99.99 Publication January 2016 For all formats available, see

The Shaping of German Identity Authority and Crisis, 1245–1414 Len Scales University of Durham

For the first time in any language this book recounts the formation of German identity in the late Middle Ages. Offering a significant new perspective on German history and European nation-making, it shows how German identity took shape in a period of weakness and fragmentation for the Holy Roman Empire. ‘This is a lucid and incisive analysis of late medieval German identity in its wider European context. Based on an impressive command of the sources, Len Scales argues that the very weakness of monarchy within the Holy Roman Empire accounts for the relative strength of national sentiment. His conclusions transform how we see the origins of modern European nations.’ Peter H. Wilson, University of Hull 2015 229 x 152 mm 636pp 4 maps 1 table 978-1-107-46034-8 Paperback £26.99 / US$39.99

University of Rochester, New York

A new overview of chivalry, which formed a fundamental element of medieval society. Chivalry shaped elite warrior status and profession, influenced warfare and violence, took on religious piety, and shaped ideas of love and relations between men and women of high status throughout half a millennium of early European history. Advance praise ‘Professor Kaeuper is one of the foremost experts on medieval chivalry, equally at home with the evidence provided by literature and the sources normally used by historians. This new textbook draws together the important insights that he has offered on violence and religion within medieval chivalric culture, to provide a clear and exciting vision of this complex field.’ Craig Taylor, University of York Cambridge Medieval Textbooks

Textbook

Medieval Heresies Christianity, Judaism, and Islam Christine Caldwell Ames University of South Carolina

This advanced undergraduate textbook is the first comparative survey of heresy and its response throughout the medieval world. Spanning England to Persia, it examines heresy, error, and religious dissent – and efforts to end them through correction, persuasion, or

European history – 1000 – 1450 punishment – among Latin Christians, Greek Christians, Jews, and Muslims. ‘By showing that heresy can be treated within a single framework which embraces Christianity, Judaism and Islam, Caldwell Ames has in effect redefined the subject, and made an important contribution to comparative world history. In doing so she sustains a high level of learning and intellectual power and originality over a range almost as remarkable chronologically – from patristic times until the early modern period – as culturally.’ R. I. Moore, Newcastle University

and Jens E. Olesen

Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of Scandinavia provides a comprehensive and authoritative account of the Scandinavian countries from the close of the Middle Ages through to the formation of the nation states in the mid-nineteenth century. Beginning in 1520, the opening chapters of the volume discuss the reformation of the Nordic states and the enormous impact this had on the social structures, cultural identities and traditions of individual countries. With contributions from 38 leading historians, the book charts the major developments that unfolded within this crucial period of Scandinavian history. Chapters address topics such as material growth and the centralisation of power in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as well as the evolution of trade, foreign policy and client states in the eighteenth century. Volume 2 concludes by discussing the new economic and social orders of the nineteenth century in connection with the emergence of the nation states. Contributors: E. I. Kouri, Jens E.

they dealt with these threats by purging ideas, objects, and people. ‘This enormously rich, thoughtful, and penetrating book offers a strikingly new perspective on the Reformation by probing its abiding obsession with purity, contagion, and purgation.

Ohio State University

Using a range of primary and secondary sources, including the analysis of leftand right-wing newspaper reportage, this book traces the relationship between the left and anti-Semitism from the French Revolution to World War II and demonstrates the relationship between the left and anti-Semitism is much more profound than previously believed. ‘With a well-documented analysis of anti-Semitic discourse in nineteenthand twentieth-century political speech, books, pamphlets, manifestos, and right-wing and leftist newspapers, Brustein and Roberts argue that leftist movements contributed to themes and narratives that fueled modern European anti-Semitism. The animosity of the left to Jews stemmed from the conviction that Judaism was anti-modern, Jews were responsible for the evils of capitalism, and Jews were lukewarm nationalists. In France and Germany, these beliefs were not just a minor sideshow to virulent right-wing anti-Semitism but were shared by both adversaries. In the struggle with fascism the socialists did not fully distance themselves from anti-Semitism. In light of this record, the authors raise questions about the contemporary leftist position

In this book, Lisa Pon considers a cascade of moments in the cultural biography of the town of Forlì’s miraculous woodcut, the Madonna of the Fire. In doing so, Pon offers an experiment in art historical inquiry that spans more than three centuries of making, remaking, and renewal. ‘Lisa Pon, one of the most distinguished historians of early prints, has given us a biography of the several ‘lives’ of a single image – a lone surviving impression of an anonymous early woodcut. Pon’s exemplary case study deftly combines modern critical theory with deep historical sleuthing to elucidate the significance across the centuries of both Madonna of the Fire and its replications for Forlì’s religious and civic community alike.’ Larry Silver, Farquhar Professor of Art History, University of Pennsylvania 2015 253 x 177 mm 301pp 99 b/w illus. 4 colour illus. 1 map 978-1-107-09851-0 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 For all formats available, see

Political Economies of Empire in the Early Modern Mediterranean The Decline of Venice and the Rise of England 1450–1700 Maria Fusaro University of Exeter

This exploration of the commercial relationship between Venice and England sets their comparative history in a wider Mediterranean and European context. It shows how Venice’s circumstances shaped the English mercantile community and how their contrasting fortunes can be seen as

the beginnings of European protoglobalisation. ‘Two empires, Venice already old and past its peak, England adolescent and ambitious, met in mingled rivalry and co-operation in the early-modern Eastern Mediterranean. English-speaking historians have long regarded the Venetian Empire as a maritime empire prefiguring the British Empire, but their view of Venice and its transactions with England has generally been based on English sources. For the first time Maria Fusaro gives us the English among the creeks and islands of the Venetian empire, as seen by the Venetians themselves. Using archives hitherto little-known or wholly unknown, she paints a lively picture of Anglo-Venetian commerce, diplomacy and war.’ Nicholas Rodger, University of Oxford 2015 228 x 152 mm 433pp 6 b/w illus. 2 maps 978-1-107-06052-4 Hardback £74.99 / US$120.00 For all formats available, see

Revisiting Prussia’s Wars against Napoleon History, Culture and Memory Karen Hagemann University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

Translated by Pamela Selwyn

This book argues that we cannot understand the Wars of Liberation – the Prussian struggle against Napoleon between 1806 and 1815 – and their importance in collective memory without recognizing how the interaction of politics, culture, and gender influenced these historical events and continue to shape later recollections of them. ‘As one of the leading historians of gender and war, Karen Hagemann writes a masterful account of the Germanic wars against Napoleon in the era 1806–1815 and their place in subsequent collective memories. Weaving archival evidence on daily life experiences with interpretive sophistication of cultural artifacts, she assesses the place of the Napoleonic wars in the construction of PrussianGerman nationalism and gendered citizenship. [This book] … will enthrall all readers interested in the play of history and memory in one of Europe’s most consequential nation-states.’ Jean H.

Naples Edited by Marcia B. Hall Temple University, Philadelphia

and Thomas Willette University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Naples was by far the largest urban center on the Italian peninsula during the early modern period, and in the years covered by this book, from the early 1300s to the early 1600s, its inhabitants witnessed vast programs of building and decoration spurred by the cultural needs of royal, ecclesiastical, and baronial elites. Yet the city’s many beautiful churches and palaces, stone sculptures, fresco cycles, and altarpieces have not received the sustained attention in Anglophone scholarship that has been lavished for generations on other major centers of artistic production, such as Florence, Rome, or Venice. This book surveys the visual arts in Renaissance Naples, offering diachronic overviews of urban design, ecclesiastical architecture, painting, tomb sculpture, and palaces, along with a substantial introduction to the

complex social and political history of the city. Contributors: Ronald G. Musto, Thomas Willette, Anna Giannetti, Charlotte Nichols, Serena Romano, Tanja Michalsky, Gérard Labrot Artistic Centers of the Italian Renaissance

Renaissance Ethnography and the Invention of the Human New Worlds, Maps and Monsters Surekha Davies Western Connecticut State University

Surekha Davies examines how Renaissance illustrated maps shaped ideas about peoples of the Americas, revealing how mapmakers devised detailed images and descriptions that placed peoples within a hierarchy of civility and savagery. Davies shows how ideas about monstrosity were crucial for early modern ethnology and, consequently, for colonial expansion. Advance praise: ‘Surekha Davies brings an astounding arsenal of historiographic tools to her interpretation of the ethnographic images on maps and draws on a vast visual and textual archive to provide a compelling account of their evolution, meaning and spread. It is hard to imagine that anyone else would be better placed to interpret this material.’ Rebecca Earle, University of Warwick Cambridge Social and Cultural Histories

From Open Secrets to Secret Voting Democratic Electoral Reforms and Voter Autonomy Isabela Mares Columbia University, New York

How were reforms that aimed to reduce electoral intimidation adopted? This book provides a micro-historical analysis of the adoption of reforms protecting voter autonomy. It shows that changes in district-level economic and political conditions led to the formation of an encompassing political coalition supporting these electoral reforms. ‘An admirable piece of work that combines an impressive knowledge of German nineteenth-century history with skillful archival research and an astonishing command of quantitative methods. I find the idea of voter intimidation and the costs of voter repression as leading terms in a locallevel quantitative analysis of electoral practices and reforms in an emerging nation-state a major step forward in the analysis of institutional change. The way the book moves between qualitative narratives of historical local conditions and sophisticated quantitative analyses is exemplary and sets a standard for social science taking history seriously.’ Wolfgang Streeck, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies

European history after 1450 / Twentieth century European history Forests in Revolutionary France Conservation, Community, and Conflict, 1669–1848 Kieko Matteson University of Hawaii, Manoa

This book investigates the bitterly contested development of environmental conservation in France from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, suggesting that conflicts over forests between the state, landowning elites, and the peasantry reflected escalating demand for this most vital of natural resources and shaped the country’s revolutionary struggles. ‘Kieko Matteson’s beautifully written and painstakingly researched history of French forests will become the gold standard on the subject. Matteson shows that, while the end of the early modern period did not invent deforestation, this transitional time created some of the key conditions for the rapid privatization and clearance of forests that were once communally owned and managed. Her book has important things to tell us about the links between politics, society, and economy, and the history of (un) sustainable resource management at the dawn of the modern age.’ Jeremy L.

This book examines one of the central problems in the history of Polish-Jewish relations: the attitude and the behavior of the Polish Underground towards the Jews during the Holocaust. Zimmerman argues that the reaction of the Polish Underground was immensely varied, ranging from aggressive aid to acts of murder. ‘This is a superb history of one of the oddest episodes of World War II. Zimmerman has emerged as one of the best experts on the history of the controversial Polish-Jewish relations. His matter-of-fact style further dramatizes the Polish-Jewish affairs during World War II when the Polish underground army heroically fought against the Nazis, sometimes killing and sometimes helping the Jews who also participated in the anti-Nazi struggle.

Inhumanities Nazi Interpretations of Western Culture David B. Dennis Loyola University, Chicago

Inhumanities is an unprecedented account of the ways Nazi Germany manipulated and mobilized European literature, philosophy, painting, sculpture and music in support of its ideological ends. David B. Dennis shows how, based on belief that the Third Reich represented the culmination of Western civilization, culture became a key propaganda tool in the regime’s program of national renewal and its campaign against political, national and racial enemies. Focusing on the daily output of the Völkischer Beobachter, the party’s official organ and the most widely circulating German newspaper of the day, he reveals how activists twisted history, biography and aesthetics to fit Nazism’s authoritarian, militaristic and anti-Semitic world views. Ranging from National Socialist coverage of Germans such as Luther, Dürer, Goethe, Beethoven, Wagner and Nietzsche to ‘great men of the Nordic West’ such as Socrates, Leonardo and Michelangelo, Dennis reveals the true extent of the regime’s ambitious attempt to reshape the ‘German mind’. ‘David Dennis’s long awaited study of the metamorphosis of Nazi Kultur during World War II has arrived like a blockbuster. The role that the regime gradually tailored for the finest artists and thinkers to serve a proposed new world order has been researched with the painstaking care of the true scholar, yet reported here with the elegance and thrust of a novelist. The book is more than a good read; it is destined to become a classic.’ Glenn Watkins, author of Proof through the Night: Music and the Great War 2015 229 x 152 mm 558pp 50 b/w illus. 978-1-107-52185-8 Paperback £19.99 / US$29.99 Also available 978-1-107-02049-8 Hardback £28.99 / US$39.99 For all formats available, see

July Crisis The World’s Descent into War, Summer 1914 T. G. Otte University of East Anglia

This is a magisterial new account of Europe’s tragic descent into a largely inadvertent war in the summer of 1914. Thomas Otte reveals why a century-old system of Great Power politics collapsed so disastrously in the weeks from the ‘shot heard around the world’ on June 28th to Germany’s declaration of war on Russia on August 1st. He shows definitively that the key to understanding how and why Europe descended into world war is to be found in the near-collective failure of statecraft by the rulers of Europe and not in abstract concepts such as the ‘balance of power’ or the ‘alliance system’. In this unprecedented panorama of Europe on the brink, from the ministerial palaces of Berlin and Vienna to Belgrade, London, Paris and St Petersburg, Thomas Otte reveals the hawks and doves whose decision-making led to a war that would define a century and which still reverberates today. ‘Anyone planning to wade through the vast outpouring of literature on the First World War might do well to make July Crisis their first port of call.’ Jules Stewart, Military History 2015 228 x 152 mm 558pp 32 b/w illus. 2 maps 978-1-107-69527-6 Paperback £14.99 / US$19.99 Also available 978-1-107-06490-4 Hardback £25.99 / US$29.99 For all formats available, see

This book discusses the experience of French colonial prisoners of war captured by Nazi Germany during World War II. It shows that the colonial prisoners’ contradictory experiences with French authorities, French civilians, and German guards led to clashes with a colonial administration eager to return

to a discriminatory routine following the war. ‘This book makes a great contribution to our understanding of the experiences of colonial POWs during WWII, which had significant repercussions on the postwar political development in the French empire. To date no study has dealt so extensively with the experiences of the French colonial prisoners of war. The fact that Raffael Scheck is also able to present the German perspective of the story is essential to our understanding of the colonial prisoners’ experiences.

Michael Goebel’s thoughtprovoking account of the role played by migrant intellectuals from diverse regions of the world living in interwar Paris in creating the post-imperial imagination of the world order helps us better understand the curious links among nationalism, internationalism, and social history of immigration to Europe from the colonies. This is indeed one of the best books I have read in recent times.’ Cemil Aydin, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Global and International History

Idealism beyond Borders The French Revolutionary Left and the Rise of Humanitarianism, 1954–1988 Eleanor Davey University of Manchester

An important examination of how modern humanitarian action rose through the transformation of the French intellectual and political landscape between the 1960s and 1980s. Eleanor Davey explores how the ‘sansfrontiériste’ movement displaced radical left third-worldism as the dominant way of approaching suffering in what was then called the third world. Advance praise: ‘Humanitarian agencies, including Médecins Sans Frontières, often struggle to understand current political processes and live in a ‘perpetual present’. This creates major difficulties in recontextualising

Twentieth century European history political processes that could help humanitarian workers and organizations have a better understanding of modern dilemmas and constraints during their daily activities. By describing two activist moments in France, tiers-mondiste and sans-frontièriste, and the process by which one came to displace the other as the dominant way of approaching suffering in the Third World, Eleanor Davey helps us to see how the past is connected to the present, a failure that she rightly underlines as shaping many analyses of humanitarianism. This book is a very interesting account of the intellectual roots of current humanitarianism, and helps us create links between recent ‘humanitarian thinking and longer political and intellectual processes of change’.’

The Extermination of the European Jews Christian Gerlach University of Pittsburgh

Major reinterpretation of the Holocaust which surveys the destruction of the European Jews within the broader context of Nazi violence against other groups. Christian Gerlach reveals the close interrelationship between warfare, occupation, policing, social issues, economics, racist thought and actions by non-Germans in the dynamics of mass violence and persecution.

2015 228 x 152 mm 320pp 978-1-107-06958-9 Hardback £64.99 / US$99.99

Advance praise: ‘This ambitious study delivers breadth of coverage without sacrificing depth or complexity. As well as ranging widely thematically, geographically and chronologically, the book is impressive in its attempt to integrate the experiences of victims, ‘bystanders’ and collaborators into the narrative as well as examining the multiple motivations of perpetrators.’

State University of New York, Stony Brook

This book examines the relationship between the postwar German states and Third World liberation movements through historical analysis of humanitarian aid programs. Although these efforts functioned as an arena for Cold War power struggles, they fostered transnational collaboration. Hong brings a much-needed historical perspective to contemporary debates on global governance. ‘Replete with lively prose and compelling protagonists, but also steeled by compendious historical research, this book tells the story of Cold War humanitarianism as refracted through a divided Germany. Hong unwraps the reality of global humanitarianism as ulterior politics rather than universal principle. But she also shows how humanitarian actions may be principled, in unexpected ways, because of politics.’ Mark A. Drumbl, Transnational Law Institute, Washington and Lee University, Virginia

West Germany and the Global Sixties The Antiauthoritarian Revolt, 1962–1978 Timothy Scott Brown Northeastern University, Boston

Examining how West German 1968 arose out of transnational connections, from the presence of Third World student radicals, to exchanges with European avant-garde movements and the appropriation of Anglo-American cultural forms like rock and roll, this study explores the interplay of radical politics and popular culture in the explosion of ‘1968’. ‘As the West German ‘1968’ finally becomes claimed for history, many fresh perspectives come into play. In Tim Brown’s excitingly original account, the unruly, boundary-crossing complexities of anti-authoritarianism appear in [a] refreshingly new light. West Germany and the Global Sixties brings the rhetoric of transnational history compellingly down to the ground.’ Geoff Eley, University of Michigan New Studies in European History

This study uses the example of the private banking sector to examine the process of Aryanization in all its complexity – from the manifold discrimination at the outset; to the sale, usually under duress and typically at reduced prices, of Jewish-owned businesses to non-Jews; and finally, to the confiscation of residual assets by the Nazi state.

Russian, East European history Soviet Internationalism after Stalin Interaction and Exchange between the USSR and Latin America during the Cold War Tobias Rupprecht European University Institute, Florence

The Soviet Union is often presented as a largely isolated and idiosyncratic state, but Tobias Rupprecht challenges this view by telling the story of Soviet and Latin American intellectuals, students, political figures and artists, and their encounters with the ‘other’ from the 1950s through the 1980s. ‘Tobias Rupprecht has high aspirations in his pathbreaking study of SovietLatin American encounters: to put Russia in global history, to put Latin America in Soviet history, and to put culture into the study of international relations. Using sources from Brasilia to Bogata to Moscow, he succeeds admirably in Soviet Internationalism after Stalin.’ David C.

The Great Divergence Reconsidered Europe, India, and the Rise to Global Economic Power Roman Studer Universität Zürich

Studer shows that Europe’s rise to its current status as an undisputed world economic leader was not the effect of the Industrial Revolution; rather, an interplay of institutional, geographical, political, and technological factors accounts for Europe’s early and gradual rise to its status as a global superpower. ‘Adam Smith’s central thesis was that efficient markets generate economic growth. This lively book revives the Smithian tradition. Efficient markets create growth, and efficient markets were unique to pre-industrial Europe. This is an important contribution to the debate on why the West rather than the East experienced the Industrial Revolution.’ Gregory Clark, University of California, Davis 2015 228 x 152 mm 244pp 30 b/w illus. 10 maps 9 tables 978-1-107-02054-2 Hardback £65.00 / US$99.00 For all formats available, see

The Cambridge History of Magic and Witchcraft in the West From Antiquity to the Present Edited by David J. Collins, S. J. Georgetown University, Washington DC

This book presents twenty chapters by experts in their fields, providing a thorough and interdisciplinary overview of the theory and practice of magic in the West. Its chronological scope extends from the Ancient Near East to twenty-first-century North America; its objects of analysis range from Persian curse tablets to US neo-paganism. For comparative purposes, the volume includes chapters on developments in the Jewish and Muslim worlds, evaluated not simply for what they contributed at various points to

European notions of magic, but also as models of alternative development in ancient Mediterranean legacy. Similarly, the volume highlights the transformative and challenging encounters of Europeans with non-Europeans, regarding the practice of magic in both early modern colonization and more recent decolonization. ‘This impressive collective volume proposes a coherent history of learned magic in Western Europe and the colonial world between Christianization and contemporary Neo-paganism. It has found an access to magic that contrasts with the many studies that situate magic in a religious or anthropological context, and thus is a welcome and necessary supplement and corrective. Giordano Bruno would have relished it.’ Fritz Graf, Ohio State University

The Cultural Politics of Obeah Religion, Colonialism and Modernity in the Caribbean World Diana Paton University of Newcastle

An innovative history of the politics and practice of the Caribbean spiritual healing techniques known as obeah. Diana Paton traces how representations of obeah were entangled with key moments in Caribbean history, from eighteenth-century slave rebellions to the formation of new nations after independence. ‘Paton takes a fresh approach to the study of black religion, examining the way obeah – as term and as practice – emerged amid the political tensions of slavery, state, and empire. With careful research, conceptual sophistication, and narrative force this book reveals the vital importance of African diaspora spiritual forms in the history of Atlantic political culture.’ Vincent Brown, Harvard University Critical Perspectives on Empire

The New Cambridge History of the Bible Volume 3: From 1450 to 1750 Edited by Euan Cameron Union Theological Seminary, New York

This volume charts the Bible’s progress from the end of the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment. During this period, for the first time since antiquity, the Latin Church focused on recovering and re-establishing the text of Scripture in its original languages. It considered the theological challenges of treating Scripture as another ancient text edited with the tools of philology. This crucial period also saw the creation of many definitive translations of the Bible into modern European vernaculars. Although previous translations exist, these early modern translators, often under the influence of the Protestant Reformation, distinguished themselves in their efforts to communicate the nuances of the original texts and to address contemporary doctrinal controversies. In the Renaissance’s rich explosion of ideas, Scripture played a ubiquitous role, influencing culture through its presence in philosophy, literature, and the arts. This history examines the Bible’s impact in Europe and its increasing prominence around the globe. Contributors: Euan Cameron, Alastair Hamilton, Jill Kraye, Richard Rex, Scott Mandelbrote, Eldon J.

Volume 4: From 1750 to the Present Edited by John Riches University of Glasgow

This volume examines the Bible’s role in the modern world – beginning with a treatment of its production and distribution that discusses publishers, printers, text critics, and translators and continuing with a presentation of new methods of studying the text that have emerged, including historical, literary, social-scientific, feminist, postcolonial, liberal, and fundamentalist readings. There is a full discussion of the changes in understandings of and approaches to the Bible in various faith communities. The dissemination of the Bible throughout the globe has also produced a host of new interpretations, and this volume provides a comprehensive geographical survey of its reception. In the final chapters, the authors offer a thematic overview of the Bible in relation to literature, art, film, science, and other disciplines. They demonstrate that, in spite of challenges to the Bible’s authority in western Europe, it remains highly relevant and influential, not least in the Americas, Africa, and Asia.

The Cambridge History of China Volume 5: Sung China, 960–1279 Part 2 Edited by John W. Chaffee and Denis Twitchett

This is the second of two volumes on the Sung Dynasty, which together provide a comprehensive history of China from the fall of the T’ang Dynasty in 907 to the Mongol conquest of the Southern Sung in 1279. With contributions from leading historians in the field, Volume 5, Part Two paints a complex portrait of a dynasty beset by problems and contradictions, but one which, despite its military and geopolitical weakness, was nevertheless economically powerful, culturally brilliant, socially fluid and the most populous of any empire in global history to that point. In this much anticipated addition to the series, the authors survey key themes across ten chapters, including government, economy, society, religion, and thought to provide an authoritative and topical treatment of a profound and significant period in Chinese history.

Third World Colonialism and Strategies of Liberation Eritrea and East Timor Compared Awet Tewelde Weldemichael University of Kentucky

This book compares Eritrea and East Timor’s grand strategies of liberation from Ethiopia and Indonesia, respectively. It challenges existing notions of grand strategy and colonialism as exclusive projects of the West, and in showing how Eritrea and East Timor developed sophisticated military and non-military strategies, Awet Tewelde Weldemichael emphasizes that these insurgents avoided terrorism as a method. ‘In Third World Colonialism and Strategies of Liberation, Awet Tewelde Weldemichael narrates the experiences of these remarkable but often under-appreciated nationalist movements during struggles against both primary (European) and secondary (regional) colonial powers with a rare combination of laser-like precision and contextual breadth and depth that brings them alive and renders them comprehensible on their own terms. The unique strength of this work lies in the details he has ferreted out from key actors and informants, much of it available for the first time, that gives them both texture and density. In doing so, he provides us with one of the most clear and compelling accounts so far on

African Socialism in Postcolonial Tanzania Between the Village and the World Priya Lal Boston College, Massachusetts

This book tells the story of Tanzania’s socialist experiment: the ujamaa villagization initiative of 1967–75. It investigates how Tanzanian leaders and rural people creatively conceptualized ujamaa and documents how villagization unfolded on the ground, refining prevailing theories of national development and expanding our understanding of postcolonial Africa. Advance praise: ‘An eloquent, engaging and immensely gratifying work. Priya Lal’s nuanced analysis of the complexities and contradictions of the imaginaries, implementation and experiences of ujamaa not only challenges dominant readings of Tanzanian history (and African history more broadly), but provides a sophisticated model for how oral and archival history can be interwoven and why this kind of history matters.’ Dorothy L.

African history the primary justification for the existence of the South African state. ‘From the epochal devastation of the South African War to the tyrannies of neo-fascists, Collective Violence and the Agrarian Origins of South African Apartheid, 1900–1948 explores the role of violence in the making of white supremacy. Higginson guides us through the transformation of South Africa’s rural worlds, the anxieties and turmoil that consumed people’s lives, and the violence that has profoundly shaped the country’s history.

Islamic Law, Gender, and Social Change in Post-Abolition Zanzibar Elke E. Stockreiter University of Iowa

After the abolition of slavery in 1897, Zanzibar’s Islamic courts became central institutions where former slaves negotiated socio-economic participation. Drawing upon difficult-to-read Islamic court records in Arabic, as well as marriage and divorce registers, this study sheds light on the island’s history of gender, social and racial identity. ‘This captivating history establishes that Islamic courts contributed significantly to reconfiguring social relationships in post-abolition Zanzibar. Elke Stockreiter deftly explores rarely studied topics, such as women’s control of property, men’s material gains from divorce and former slaves’ claims to inheritance, and reveals how the courts enabled these forms of individual agency while also constraining their social impact.’ Susan F.

and Ahmad Alawad Sikainga Ohio State University

This volume offers a fresh perspective on Africa’s central role in the Allied victory in World War II. Its detailed case studies, from all parts of Africa, enable us to understand how African communities sustained the Allied war effort and how they were transformed in the process. Together, the chapters provide a continent-wide perspective. ‘For Africans, World War II began in 1935 with Italy’s invasion of Ethiopia, and it lasted well beyond 1945, as Africans demanded that their contributions and sacrifices for the Allied war effort be recognized. Africa and World War II brings together wellresearched and compelling accounts by accomplished scholars, exploring not only the importance of Africans’ roles as soldiers and producers, but the war’s effects on class, race, and gender relations. This collection makes clear the importance of the war in provoking a crisis in colonial empires and transforming the nature of political mobilization across the African continent.’ Frederick Cooper, author of Citizenship between Empire and Nation: Remaking France and French Africa, 1945–1960 2015 228 x 152 mm 566pp 29 b/w illus. 1 map 978-1-107-05320-5 Hardback £60.00 / US$95.00 978-1-107-63022-2 Paperback £22.99 / US$34.99 For all formats available, see

From Empires to NGOs in the West African Sahel The Road to Nongovernmentality Gregory Mann Columbia University, New York

This book explains the shift from the government of empires to that of NGOs in the region just south of the Sahara. It describes the ambitions of newly independent African states, their political experiments, and the challenges they faced. No other book

places black American activism, Amnesty International, and CARE together in the history of African politics. ‘Gregory Mann gives us a thoughtprovoking, nuanced, deeply researched exposition of what sovereignty does and does not mean in the context of the decolonization of French West Africa and the inability of African states to meet the hopes of most of their citizens. He explores Africans’ immersion in different forms of connection across space, conflicting claims of African states and the French government to regulate cross-border migration within Africa, controversies over the rights of former citizens from Africa to work and live in France, and the effects of NGO interventions on how Africa is governed.’ Frederick Cooper, author of Citizenship between Empire and Nation: Remaking France and French Africa, 1945–1960 African Studies, 129

Political Thought and the Public Sphere in Tanzania Freedom, Democracy and Citizenship in the Era of Decolonization Emma Hunter University of Cambridge

Starting in 1945 and culminating with the Arusha Declaration of 1967, Emma Hunter explores political argument in mainland Tanzania’s public sphere to show how political narratives succeeded when they managed to combine promises of freedom with new forms of belonging at both a local and national level. ‘Analyzing a rich array of Swhaililanguage newspapers and other sources, Emma Hunter brings out the multiple meanings that the people of colonial Tanganyika attached to concepts like freedom, progress, citizenship and representation. Examining debates over forms of belonging, claims to material and social resources and efforts to build local as well as national institutions, she shows that it was only in retrospect, and only partially, that Tanzanian elites reduced the demand for liberation to the assertion of national independence. She demonstrates the interplay of political discourse across localities and regional centers, in the colony as a whole, across the British empire and on an international scale.’ Frederick Cooper, author of Africa since 1940: The Past of the Present African Studies, 133

Drawing upon interviews with farmers, town dwellers, soldiers and politicians in Central Angola, Justin Pearce examines the ideologies about nation and state that elites deployed in pursuit of hegemony. ‘This book, based on difficult and path-breaking fieldwork and acute analytical skills, gives a jolt to much of the literature on violent conflicts and on politics in, especially, Africa: it

African history brings questions of political identity, how it is formed and sustained, how it evolves, how it relates to violent conflict, back into the foreground and it refreshes ideas of national identity at the same time.’ Christopher Cramer, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London African Studies, 134

From Slavery to Aid Politics, Labour, and Ecology in the Nigerien Sahel, 1800–2000 Benedetta Rossi University of Birmingham

From Slavery to Aid takes two major themes of African historiography – the death of slavery and the birth of aid – and constructs a social history of the Ader region, an understudied region of the West African Sahel in today’s Republic of Niger. ‘Benedetta Rossi connects the specificities of place with the importance of connections across space, and she connects the continuities of a former slave society with the development initiatives of a colonial and post-colonial state. She uses her rich ethnographic and historical material to analyse insightfully the meaning of unequal social and economic relations, within a region, within an African state, and in relation to the external world.’ Frederick Cooper, New York University African Studies, 135

Democracy in Africa Successes, Failures, and the Struggle for Political Reform Nic Cheeseman University of Oxford

This book provides the first comprehensive overview of the history of democracy in Africa and grapples with important questions facing Africa and democracy today, including whether international actors should promote democracy abroad, how to design political systems that manage ethnic diversity, and why democratic governments often make bad policies. ‘Accessible yet authoritative and often provocative, Nic Cheeseman’s book provides an exceptional history of contemporary democracy in Sub-Saharan Africa. His book’s great strength is to combine attention to the varied historical and cultural roots of issues that emerged in the 1990s with a keen grasp of the political implications of the institutions that have been chosen to rule the countries of the region. Buttressed by compelling examples and statistics from seemingly every country in the region, this book is must-reading for anyone interested in African politics.’ Nicolas van de Walle, Maxwell M.

Slavery, Memory and Religion in Southeastern Ghana, c. 1850–Present Meera Venkatachalam

Slavery, Memory and Religion in Southeastern Ghana, c.1850–Present aims to reconstruct the religious history of the Anlo-Ewe peoples from the 1850s. In particular, it focuses on a corpus of cultic practices collectively known as ‘Fofie’, which derived their legitimacy from engaging with the memory of the slave-holding past. ‘Engaging, logically structured and based on impressive ethnography, this [book] makes an important contribution to the existing scholarly literature on the religion and belief of the Ewe people of Ghana and Togo and more broadly to an emerging history of religious change in West Africa that seeks to go beyond the established narrative of conversion.’ John Parker, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London

Maxim Bolt explores the lives of Zimbabwean migrant labourers, of settled black farm workers and their dependants, and of white farmers and managers, as they intersect on the Zimbabwean-South African border. Focusing on one farm, the book investigates the role of a hub of wage labour in a place of crisis. ‘This closely attentive ethnography of a particular border farm in the new South Africa adds remarkable experiential and cultural depth to the understanding of migrant farm workers, as they manage and conceptualize work, time, money and relationships in their intimate lives, on and off the farm.’ Jane I.

Sovereignty, Territory, and Identity in the Early Modern Mediterranean Palmira Brummett

Maps serve as centerpieces for discussions of early modern space, time, borders, stages of travel, information flows, invocations of authority, and cross-cultural relations. Enriched by examples of Ottoman self-mapping, this book examines how the Ottoman Empire was mapped in the narrative and visual imagination of early modern Europe’s Christian kingdoms.

Records of the Kurds: Territory, Revolt and Nationalism, 1831–1979 These nine thousand pages of facsimile documents trace early insurgencies directed by the Kurdish people against regional and metropolitan powers, and their interrelations with neighbouring tribes and other ethnic groups at historical flash points, from the origins of nationalist sentiments through a series of disparate revolts in the nineteenth century, and then on to a larger, more cohesive and discernible nationalist movement launched in the aftermath of World War I. They concomitantly depict the extent of territories pertaining to the Kurdish ‘homeland’, the use of the term ‘Kurdistan’ generally refers to an agreed geographical area, not to a legal or political entity. Kurdish populated territory evolved over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with some regions becoming entrenched, others subject to constant flux. The map box provides illustrations of the changing territory, or those sections subject to alterations and contestation.

Advance praise: ‘The Reunification of China offers a richly detailed narrative on the founding of the Song empire, tracing its origins in the Five Dynasties and extending forward to the critical turn toward civilian rule during the second and third reigns. The reader is reminded of the centrality of war to politics and simultaneously the serendipity of history in the absence of grand plans. Peter Lorge has shed invaluable light on this important period of transition, which in turn enriches our understanding of the broader history of China’s middle period.’ Richard L.

Educating China Knowledge, Society and Textbooks in a Modernizing World, 1902–1937 Peter Zarrow University of Connecticut

An in-depth analysis of how Chinese school textbooks published between 1902 and 1937 shaped new social, cultural, and political trends. Peter Zarrow examines how Chinese schools conveyed traditional and ‘new style’ knowledge and sought to socialize students in a rapidly changing society in the transformative first decades of the twentieth century. ‘What textbooks say today generates heated debate from Tokyo to Texas. Zarrow’s landmark study of textbooks in late imperial and early Republican China shows how and why they mattered a century ago for reimagining the people, the culture, the past and the future of China – an indispensable book for educators and historians of modern China.’ John Fitzgerald, Swinburne University of Technology 2015 228 x 152 mm 293pp 38 b/w illus. 978-1-107-11547-7 Hardback £64.99 / US$99.99 For all formats available, see

Chopsticks A Cultural and Culinary History Q. Edward Wang

Calling upon a striking selection of artwork, the author illustrates how chopstick use has influenced Asian cuisine, and how, in turn the cuisine continues to influence chopstick use, both in Asia and across the globe. ‘Questions you would have never thought to ask are expertly answered in this timely volume. The pages and chapters bring to light unique facets of Chinese life that are usually reserved for interrogation by focusing on the Chinese written language as a special East Asian ‘cultural sphere’. By addressing chopsticks Wang neatly augments that sphere by adding culinary history to the cultural mix.’ Benjamin A.

Han Material Culture

Chopsticks have become a quintessential part of the Japanese, Chinese and Korean culinary experience across the globe, with more than one fifth of the world’s population using them daily to eat. In this vibrant, highly original account of the history of chopsticks, Q. Edward Wang charts their evolution from a simple eating implement in ancient times to their status as a much more complex, cultural symbol today. Opening in the Neolithic Age, at the first recorded use of chopsticks, the book surveys their practice through Chinese history, before exploring their transmission in the fifth century to other parts of Asia, including Vietnam, Korea, Japan and Mongolia.

Early Modern China and Northeast Asia Cross-Border Perspectives Evelyn S. Rawski University of Pittsburgh

Early Modern China and Northeast Asia offers a revisionist history of China from a peripheral perspective. It surveys wars and regime changes that accompanied China’s integration into the world economy during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and places Sino-Korean and Sino-Japanese relations within the context of northeast Asian geopolitics.

‘While most previous work about drama has focused on cities, DeMare draws on rich material, including local archives, to examine rural cultural production and organizations. DeMare’s focus on the countryside, where most people lived and where the operas were most powerful, is a significant contribution.’ Jeremy Brown, Simon Fraser University, British Columbia Cambridge Studies in the History of the People’s Republic of China

Across Forest, Steppe, and Mountain Environment, Identity, and Empire in Qing China’s Borderlands David A. Bello Washington and Lee University, Virginia

In this book, David Bello offers a new and radical interpretation of how China’s last dynasty, the Qing (1644–1911), relied on the interrelationship between ecology and ethnicity to incorporate the country’s far-flung borderlands into the dynasty’s expanding empire. Advance praise: ‘David A. Bello’s book is important, innovative, well written, exceptionally researched, and deserving of an audience that extends beyond scholars of late imperial (or early modern) China to those interested in environmental history, ethnicity, empires, and the dynamics of the early modern world … this book is fabulous, engaging, intriguing, and awe-inspiring.’ Robert A.

The Ecology of War in China Henan Province, the Yellow River, and Beyond, 1938–1950 Micah S. Muscolino University of Oxford

This book explores the interplay between war and the environment in Henan Province, a hotly contested frontline territory that endured massive environmental destruction and human disruption during the conflict between China and Japan that raged during World War II. ‘This is a riveting study of one of modern history’s worst war-induced disasters. In 1938 the Yellow River was turned into a weapon of strategic defense, its waters let loose on the North China plain by Chinese forces resisting the Japanese invasion. This consummate work shows the evolution of the disaster and lays out its ghastly human and ecological effects. It is a pioneering combination of environmental history and Chinese history.’ Diana Lary, University of British Columbia

The Cambridge History of China Volume 9: The Ch’ing Dynasty to 1800 Part 2 Edited by Willard J. Peterson Princeton University, New Jersey

Volume 9, Part 2 of The Cambridge History of China is the second of two volumes which together explore the political, social and economic developments of the Ch’ing Empire during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries prior to the arrival of Western military power. Across fifteen chapters, a team of leading historians explore how the eighteenth century’s greatest contiguous empire in terms of geographical size, population, wealth, cultural production, political order and military domination peaked and then began to unravel. The book sheds new light on the changing systems deployed under the Ch’ing dynasty to govern its large, multi-ethnic Empire and surveys the dynasty’s complex relations with neighbouring states and Europe. In this compelling and authoritative account of a significant era of early modern Chinese history, the volume illustrates the ever-changing nature of the Ch’ing Empire, and provides context for the unforeseeable challenges that the nineteenth century would bring.

She discards the familiar, and all too predictable, colony-to-nation narrative for an approach that exposes the troubled and uncertain course of modern Indian history, unravels the startling heterogeneity of that history, explores the radical possibilities of recent historical reinterpretation, and provides fascinating insights into the conflicts and contradictions that make up India’s multiple and many layered pasts. This imaginative rethinking of India’s history and the complex fashioning of its modernity deserves a wide and appreciative audience.’ David Arnold, Emeritus Professor, University of Warwick

Economic Change in Modern Indonesia Colonial and Post-colonial Comparisons Anne Booth School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London

Anne Booth examines Indonesian economic performance from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first century, explaining the long-term factors which have influenced the country’s economic development, as well as the persistence of economic nationalism and the ongoing tensions between Indonesia’s diverse regions. Advance praise: ‘Booth deploys her deep and sustained knowledge to trace Indonesia’s seventy year transition, from colonization and conflict to middleincome and membership in the G-20 group of leading world economies. She combines narrative economic history with rigorous yet accessible analysis of major economic and development challenges, including nation-building, poverty alleviation, democratization, and interactions with volatile world markets. This masterful account should become the go-to source on the development of the modern Indonesian economy.’ Ian Coxhead, University of Wisconsin, Madison

Australian history Australia 1944–45 Victory in the Pacific Edited by Peter Dean Australian National University, Canberra

The years 1944 and 1945 were pivotal in the development of Australia’s approach to strategy during the Second World War and beyond. While the main battlefront of the Pacific War had moved further north, Australian air, land and sea forces continued to make a significant contribution to the Allied campaign and towards achieving Australia’s strategic interests and objectives. In New Guinea, Australian operations secured territories and released men from service, while in Borneo a highly successful campaign was clouded by uncertain motives and questionable strategy. Australia 1944– 45: Victory in the Pacific examines this complex and fascinating period, which has been largely under-represented in Australian military history. Peter Dean leads a team of highly regarded military historians in assessing Australian, Allied and Japanese strategies, the conduct of the campaigns in the Southwest Pacific Area and Australia’s significant role in achieving victory.

Pozières Echoes of a Distant Battle Christopher Wray

From July to September 1916, some 23,000 Australians were killed or wounded in the Battle of Pozières. It was the first strategically important engagement by Australian soldiers on the Western Front and its casualties exceeded those of any other battle of the First World War, including Gallipoli. In this important book, Christopher Wray explores the influence of Pozières on Australian society and history, and how it is remembered today. In the opening chapters he revisits the battle and considers its aftermath, including shell shock and the psychological effects experienced by surviving soldiers. The concluding chapters examine the way in which the battle has been commemorated in literature and art, and the extent to which it has been overlooked in contemporary remembrance of the war. Generously illustrated with photographs, maps and paintings, Pozières: Echoes of a Distant Battle is essential reading for anyone interested in the First World War and Australia’s post-war society.

This volume offers a comprehensive and authoritative account of botanical knowledge in China from ancient times to the end of the seventeenth century. In this highly illustrated study, Georges Métailié explores the perception and use of a wealth of plants and vegetation in China before the introduction of modern botany.

Chapters are devoted to traditional botany and sources of classification, aquatic plants, fungi, horticultural techniques, fruit production, grafting and the influences of ancient Chinese plant culture on Europe. This volume combines technical expertise in the identification of plants with historical and anthropological sensitivity to propose a new, non-teleological view of scientific knowledge about the botanical world in ancient China.

Toxic Histories Poison and Pollution in Modern India David Arnold University of Warwick

David Arnold combines social, medical and environmental history to demonstrate the critical importance of poisons and pollution (and attempts to control them) to public anxiety, colonial governance and the role of scientific authority and agency in India between the 1830s and 1950s. Advance praise: ‘In this meticulous toxicological assay of British India, David Arnold challenges us to rethink how we draw boundaries between the therapeutic and the poisonous, between purity and danger, and between European and Indigenous. Colonialism is refigured as the governance of poisons – and modernity turns into the titrating of toxicities. A revealing forensic study of poison as substance and metaphor under colonial rule, Toxic Histories also shows us how – and why – toxicity became a concept intrinsic to India’s modernity. Thus Arnold traces the sad genealogy of our poisoned world.’

Dwindling Resources and Cultural Resilience Jan J. Boersema Translated by Diane Webb

In this book, Jan J. Boersema reconstructs the ecological and cultural history of Easter Island and critiques the hitherto accepted theory of its collapse. Drawing on historical and scientific evidence, Boersema demonstrates how Easter Island society responded to cultural and environmental change and how it was able to survive. ‘Jan Boersema’s study demonstrates once more the ‘collapse of the Easter Island society’, commonly advocated by Jared Diamond, to be a myth based on shaky scientific ground. To the contrary, the Rapa Nui people adapted to the challenges of isolation in a marginal environment with remarkable resilience.

An Analysis of Australian Task Force Combat Operations Andrew Ross University of New South Wales, Canberra

Bob Hall University of New South Wales, Canberra

and Amy Griffin University of New South Wales, Canberra

From 1966 to 1971 the First Australian Task Force was part of the counterinsurgency campaign in South Vietnam. Though considered a small component of the Free World effort in the war, these troops from Australia and New Zealand were in fact the best trained and prepared for counterinsurgency warfare. However, until now, their achievements have been largely overlooked by military historians. The Search for Tactical Success in Vietnam sheds new light on this campaign by examining the thousands of small-scale battles that the First Australian Task Force was engaged in. The book draws on statistical,

Military history spatial and temporal analysis, as well as primary data, to present a unique study of the tactics and achievements of the First Australian Task Force in Phuoc Tuy Province, South Vietnam. Further, original maps throughout the text help to illustrate how the Task Force’s tactics were employed. Australian Army History Series

Reporting the First World War Charles Repington, The Times and the Great War A. J. A. Morris

The first major study of Charles Repington, Britain’s most influential military correspondent of the early twentieth century. His daily column in The Times, ‘The War Day by Day’, during the Great War was read by opinionshapers and decision-makers worldwide who sought to understand better the momentous events happening around them. Advance praise: ‘This is a wonderfully well-informed account of Charles à Court Repington, the most important British military journalist of the early twentieth century and an unmatched observer of wartime military life and high politics. A. J. A. Morris’s treatment of Repington is very good indeed, and adds a finely nuanced perspective to our understanding of the British experience of 1914–18, in particular the extraordinary military and political intrigues of those years.’

Napoleon and the Struggle for Germany The Franco-Prussian War of 1813 Michael V. Leggiere University of North Texas

GHQ and the German Army, 1916–1918 Jim Beach

This is the first comprehensive history of the campaigns that determined control of Germany following Napoleon’s catastrophic defeat in Russia. Michael Leggiere reveals how, in the spring of 1813, Prussia, the weakest of the Great Powers, led the struggle against Napoleon as a war of national liberation. Using German, French, British, Russian, Austrian and Swedish sources, he provides a panoramic history ranging from the mobilization of the belligerents, strategy and operations to coalition warfare, diplomacy and civil-military relations. He examines the strategy, military operations and battles in Germany from Napoleon’s initial campaign which drove the RussoPrussian army to the banks of the Oder and the verge of defeat to the epic four-day Battle of Nations at Leipzig and Napoleon’s retreat to France. This study not only highlights the breakdown of Napoleon’s strategy in 1813, but constitutes a fascinating study in coalition warfare, international relations, and civil-military relations.

Haig’s Intelligence

‘The word ‘seminal’ is all too often applied to books, but in the case of Haig’s Intelligence it is thoroughly deserved … [Beach’s] findings about Haig’s relations with his intelligence officers feed directly into one of the most studied and controversial aspects of the field, and need to be integrated into existing scholarship on British high command in the First World War.’ Gary Sheffield, War in History

Using German, French, British, Russian, Austrian and Swedish sources, he provides a panoramic history that covers the full sweep of the battle for Germany from the mobilization of the belligerents, strategy, and operations to coalition warfare, diplomacy, and civilmilitary relations. He shows how Russian war weariness conflicted with Prussian impetuosity, resulting in the crisis that almost ended the Sixth Coalition in early June. In a single campaign, Napoleon drove the Russo–Prussian army from the banks of the Saale to the banks of the Oder. The Russo–Prussian alliance was perilously close to imploding, only to be saved at the eleventh-hour by an armistice. ‘This is by far the best study in English of the spring campaign of 1813 which played a crucial part in the final defeat of Napoleon. Based on an impressive array of archival and published sources in many languages, Michael Leggiere traces the desperate Prussian struggle against the new French armies raised by Napoleon after the disaster of 1812, and their equally decisive efforts to keep their exhausted Russian allies in the war. It is unlikely that Leggiere’s account will ever be surpassed.’ Rory Muir, author of Wellington: The Path to Victory, 1769–1814 Cambridge Military Histories

Napoleon and the Struggle for Germany The Franco-Prussian War of 1813 Volume 2: The Defeat of Napoleon Michael V. Leggiere University of North Texas

The first comprehensive history of the decisive Fall Campaign of 1813, which determined control of Central Europe following Napoleon’s catastrophic defeat in Russia the previous year. Using German, French, British, Russian, Austrian and Swedish sources, Michael V. Leggiere provides a panoramic history which covers the full sweep of the struggle in Germany. He shows how Prussia, the weakest of the Great Powers, led the struggle against Napoleon and his empire. By reconstructing the principal campaigns and operations in Germany, the book reveals how the defeat of Napoleon in

Germany was made possible by Prussian victories. In particular, it features detailed analysis of the strategy, military operations, and battles in Germany that culminated with the epic four-day Battle of Nations at Leipzig and Napoleon’s retreat to France. This study not only highlights the breakdown of Napoleon’s strategy in 1813, but constitutes a fascinating study in coalition warfare, international relations, and civil-military relations. ‘Leggiere does an outstanding job of describing the interactions of a complex, internally-divided alliance whose armies nevertheless repeatedly managed to outmaneuver and outfight Napoleon! The operational analysis, particularly of Leipzig, is also unusually clear.

Allies in Memory World War II and the Politics ofTransatlantic Commemoration, c.1941–2001 Sam Edwards Manchester Metropolitan University

Sam Edwards uncovers the history of how, amidst the challenges and tensions of the Cold War, Americans and Europeans used acts of World War II commemoration as forums in which to discover, define and dispute the past and present of the transatlantic alliance. ‘In this book Sam Edwards shows that he is a historian capable of investigating a complex history in a multifaceted way navigating his way through the tricky and occasionally overlapping narratives developed by each culture. He shows the way the memory of the war has grown and adapted, the inherently political biases of all forms of commemoration and the fact that messages are altered, created or reinforced to suit different cultures at different times. All this is done in a text that is engaging and readable. This is a major contribution to our understandings of war memory.’ Mark Connolly, University of Kent Studies in the Social and Cultural History of Modern Warfare, 41

The Cambridge History of the Second World War Volume 1: Fighting the War Edited by John Ferris University of Calgary

and Evan Mawdsley University of Glasgow

The military events of the Second World War have been the subject of historical debate from 1945 to the present. It mattered greatly who won, and fighting was the essential determinant of victory or defeat. In Volume 1 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War a team of twenty-five leading historians offer a comprehensive and authoritative new account of the war’s military and strategic history. Part I examines the military cultures and strategic objectives of the eight major powers involved. Part II surveys the course of the war in its key theatres across the world, and assesses why one side or the other prevailed there. Part III considers, in a comparative way, key aspects of military activity, including planning, intelligence, and organisation of troops and matérial, as well as guerrilla fighting and treatment of prisoners of war.

War is often described as an extension of politics by violent means. With contributions from twenty-five eminent historians, Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War examines the relationship between ideology and politics in the war’s origins, dynamics and consequences. Part I examines the ideologies of the combatants and shows how the war can be understood as a struggle of words, ideas and values with the rival powers expressing divergent claims to justice and controlling news from the front in order to sustain moral and influence international opinion. Part II looks at politics from the perspective of pre-war and wartime diplomacy as well as examining the way in which neutrals were treated and behaved. The volume concludes by assessing the impact of states, politics and ideology on the fate of individuals as occupied and liberated peoples, collaborators and resistors, and as British and French colonial subjects.

Volume 3 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War adopts a transnational approach to offer a comprehensive and global analysis of the war as an economic, social and cultural event. Across twenty-eight chapters and four key parts, the volume addresses complex themes such as the political economy of industrial war, the social practices of war, the moral economy of war and peace and the repercussions of catastrophic destruction. A team of nearly thirty leading historians together show how entire nations mobilized their economies and populations in the face of unimaginable violence, and how they dealt with the subsequent losses that followed.

The Rise of the Global Company Multinationals and the Making of the Modern World Robert Fitzgerald Royal Holloway, University of London

This is the first full account of how the multinational enterprise drove globalization and contributed to the making of the modern world. Robert Fitzgerald reveals how the growth of international businesses shaped the economic development of nations, their politics and sovereignty, and the balance of power in international relations. Advance praise: ‘This is an ambitious study, long in preparation, on the vast reach of multinational enterprises and on their importance in the transformation of the modern world economy. It draws on a formidable collection of individual company data, emphasizing the interactions between firms and diplomatic, military, and political, as well as economic history.

A Concise History of International Finance From Babylon to Bernanke Larry Neal University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

A comprehensive survey of international financial history across three thousand years. Larry Neal discusses past crises, both historically and internationally, in order to show how many of them have been successfully overcome in ways that might be adapted to deal with the crises of 2007 to 2010. ‘This is the most impressive, most comprehensive, and most up-to-date single volume history of finance there is. Its central argument about the beneficial effects of financial innovation – along with the many cautionary tales of how and why things go sour, of the consequences of adequate mechanisms for ensuring commitment and responsibility – make it at once a classic, whose influence will endure a long time.’ Harold James, author of The End of Globalization: Lessons from the Great Depression New Approaches to Economic and Social History

Confounding Powers Anarchy and International Society from the Assassins to Al Qaeda William J. Brenner

The study of international politics has not addressed some of the most pressing issues raised after 9/11, most notably the relationships between Al Qaeda’s international systemic origins and societal effects. Confounding Powers advances the study of international politics into new historical settings while providing insights into pressing policy challenges. Advance praise: ‘Confounding Powers is the rare book that simultaneously illuminates important events in the past, advances core topics in international theory, and sheds light on pressing contemporary problems. Essential reading for anyone interested in general international relations theory and the puzzles of the current global struggle against violent extremism.’ Daniel Deudney, The Johns Hopkins University 2015 228 x 152 mm 300pp 2 b/w illus. 5 maps 4 tables 978-1-107-10945-2 Hardback £64.99 / US$99.99 Publication December 2015 For all formats available, see

Reagan and Pinochet The Struggle over US Policy toward Chile Morris Morley Macquarie University, Sydney

and Chris McGillion Charles Sturt University, Bathurst, New South Wales

This study examines US policy toward the military dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet in Chile during the 1980s. The authors provide fresh insights into bureaucratic conflicts that were a key feature of the policymaking process and reveal both the achievements and the limits of US influence on Pinochet’s regime. ‘While reams of scholarly writings have been published on the US role in the overthrow of Chilean democracy in September 1973, almost nothing of substance has been written on the US role in the denouement of the Pinochet dictatorship in 1990 – until now. Through astute analysis of a massive quantity of declassified US documents, Reagan and Pinochet has filled a major historical void. This is a compelling, definitive, and valuable study.’ Peter Kornbluh, author of The Pinochet File: A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability

Narrative and the Making of US National Security Ronald R. Krebs University of Minnesota

Dominant narratives have often served as the foundation for debates over national security. This book offers novel arguments about where these narratives come from, how they become dominant and when they collapse. It shows how these arguments shed light on US national security debates and policy from the 1930s through the 2000s. ‘Narrative and the Making of US National Security is an impressive accomplishment. For realists and rationalists, it provides compelling theoretical and empirical evidence for what they have intuitively known, but refused to acknowledge – that language, discourse and rhetoric are more than cheap talk. For constructivists and critical theorists, it provides a careful, systematic roadmap for how to demonstrate the open-ended but structured interplay between language and foreign policy. An original, and exceptionally well-written, book that should be the talk among international relations scholars.’ Michael Barnett, George Washington University Cambridge Studies in International Relations, 138

The history of human rights is a history of our times. This book offers a remarkable reinterpretation, showing how key Third World states during the 1960s initiated the ‘human rights revolution’. They changed international norms and Western politics, challenged the Communist world, and made human rights central to global politics.

The idea of self-determination of peoples – that peoples have the right to form a state, and even can decide whether or not they exercise that right – is a modern one. This book examines the conceptual and political history of this idea.

This original biography of Friedrich Nietzsche’s early life radically reconceives Nietzsche’s youth, recontextualising his early essays and the works he went on to write later in life. It will greatly appeal to students

Knowledge and the Public Interest, 1575–1725 Vera Keller University of Oregon

Today, the idea that the advancement of knowledge serves the public interest is a truism. It was once the subject of widespread and lively debate. This book recovers how advancing knowledge deployed contentious political strategies of advancing empire. It can inform current debates over the value and practices of research. Advance praise: ‘Vera Keller develops a strikingly new perspective on early modern science by focusing on the genre of the wish list and its spread in English- and German-speaking contexts across the long seventeenth century. Ambitious goals that promised the fulfilment of political and economic desires amid an awareness of the precariousness of knowledge motivated a host

Ian Almond analyses Chaudhuri from the perspectives of Islam, the archive, melancholy and empire, exploring the evolution of his thought and the consequences this has for our understanding of ‘cosmopolitan’ intellectuals. ‘Cultural and geographical deracination decisively shaped the thought of the modern Asian intelligentsia. In Ian Almond’s subtle portrait of an intractably conservative, even reactionary, Indian intellectual, we are brought closer to the complex process that produces the native informant as well as the anti-Western radical.’ Pankaj Mishra, author of From the Ruins of Empire: The Revolt against the West and the Remaking of Asia 2015 228 x 152 mm 196pp 978-1-107-09443-7 Hardback £64.99 / US$99.99 For all formats available, see

Islamic Intellectual History in the Seventeenth Century Scholarly Currents in the Ottoman Empire and the Maghreb Khaled El-Rouayheb Harvard University, Massachusetts

This book is the first sustained effort at investigating the intellectual currents among Ottoman and North African scholars of the early modern period and argues for a more textured – and textcentered – understanding of the vibrant exchange of ideas and transmission of knowledge across a vast expanse of Ottoman-controlled territory. ‘A labor of admirable erudition, this book … establishes a new standard for the intellectual history of Islam in general and for Ottoman intellectual history in particular. By focusing on the hitherto unexplored technical arguments of the textual traditions and by deftly placing them within the larger systems in which they developed, the author goes far beyond previous studies of Ottoman intellectual history that concerned themselves primarily with the social, cultural and legal locations of ideas. The history of ideas has finally taken center stage in Islamic studies as the guiding principle of intellectual history. This is pioneering work.’ Asad Q.

Spinoza’s Critique of Religion and its Heirs Marx, Benjamin, Adorno Idit Dobbs-Weinstein Vanderbilt University, Tennessee

By situating Spinoza’s thought in a materialist Aristotelian tradition, this book sheds new light on those who inherit Spinoza’s thought and its consequences materially and historically rather than metaphysically. ‘For Idit Dobbs-Weinstein, Spinoza is neither the secular liberal he is for Jonathan Israel and Steven Nadler, nor the anatomist of power he is for Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt. He is, rather, the first critical theorist. In support of this interpretation, she places Spinoza in a materialist tradition that privileges praxis over theoria. This tradition includes Aristotle, Averroes and Maimonides on the one hand, and Marx, Benjamin and Adorno on the other. At its centre is Spinoza’s critique of religion, the political significance of which lies, for Dobbs-Weinstein, in the resistance to all forms of teleology rather than in the establishment of a public sphere.’ Andrew Cutrofello, Loyola University Chicago 2015 216 x 138 mm 285pp 978-1-107-09491-8 Hardback £64.99 / US$99.99 For all formats available, see

Sartre A Philosophical Biography Thomas R. Flynn Emory University, Atlanta

Jean-Paul Sartre (1905–1980) was one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. Regarded as the father of existentialist philosophy, he was also a political critic, moralist, playwright, novelist, and author of biographies and short stories. Thomas R. Flynn provides the first book-length account of Sartre as a philosopher of the imaginary, mapping the intellectual development of his ideas throughout his life, and building a narrative that is not only philosophical but also attentive to the political and literary dimensions of his work. Exploring Sartre’s existentialism, politics, ethics, and ontology, this book illuminates the defining ideas of Sartre’s oeuvre: the literary and the philosophical, the imaginary and the conceptual, his descriptive phenomenology and his phenomenological concept of intentionality, and his conjunction of ethics and politics with an ‘egoless’ consciousness. It will appeal to all who are interested in Sartre’s philosophy and its relation to his life. ‘No English-speaking philosopher has read [Sartre’s] vast corpus with greater industry than Mr Flynn. His new biography scrutinises the works chronologically from start to finish. It includes Sartre’s fiction and plays as well as the political or critical essays. Mr Flynn has done Sartrean initiates a large service.’ The Economist

The Politics of the Human Anne Phillips London School of Economics and Political Science

The human figures today as a central reference point for human rights, humanitarianism, and global justice. But who or what is that human? This book rejects accounts in terms of core characteristics, and argues for an understanding of the human as a claim and commitment to equality. ‘Anne Phillips’ book is a hugely engaging critique of both descriptive and abstract accounts of the human as a basis for contemporary politics.’ J. M. Browne, University of Cambridge

The Codex of Justinian A New Annotated Translation, with Parallel Latin and Greek Text General Editor Bruce W. Frier University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Translated by Fred H. Blume

The Codex of Justinian is, together with the Digest, the core of the great Byzantine compilation of Roman law called the Corpus Iuris Civilis. The Codex compiles legal proclamations issued by Roman emperors from the second to the sixth centuries CE. Its influence on subsequent legal development in the medieval and early modern world has been almost incalculable. But the Codex has not, until now, been credibly translated into English. This translation, with a facing Latin and Greek text (from Paul Krüger’s ninth edition of the Codex), is based on one made by Justice Fred Blume in the 1920s, but left unpublished for almost a century. It is accompanied by introductions explaining the background of the translation, a bibliography and glossary, and notes that help in understanding the text. Anyone with an interest in the Codex, whether an interested novice or a professional historian, will find ample assistance here. Contributors: Timothy Kearley, Bruce W.

Pericles and the Conquest of History A Political Biography Loren J. Samons, II Boston University

The Golden Age of Athens in the fifth century BCE is also known as the Age of Pericles. But how did Pericles become both the greatest and the most dangerous leader Athens ever produced? Loren J. Samons, II examines the events of Athenian history to understand the actions and legacy of this pivotal historical figure. ‘To his credit, Professor Samons resolutely refuses to view Pericles with rose-colored glasses. Instead, he shatters the illusions entertained by his predecessors, emphasizing the degree to which the radical democracy in Athens fostered and was fostered by a brutal, ruthless, exploitative imperialism and exhibited a suicidal ambition for further expansion that, thanks in part to the vision of undying glory and grandeur deliberately projected by Pericles, knew no bounds.’ Paul A.

Ecological Imperialism The Biological Expansion of Europe, 900–1900 Second edition Alfred W. Crosby

People of European descent form the bulk of the population in most of the temperate zones of the world – North America, Australia and New Zealand. The military successes of European imperialism are easy to explain; in many cases they were a matter of firearms against spears. But as Alfred W. Crosby maintains in this highly original and fascinating book, the Europeans’ displacement and replacement of the native peoples in the temperate zones was more a matter of biology than of military conquest. European organisms had certain decisive advantages over their New World and Australian counterparts. The spread of European disease, flora and fauna went hand in hand with the growth of populations. Consequently, these imperialists became proprietors of the most important agricultural lands in the world. In the second edition, Crosby revisits his now classic work and again evaluates the global historical importance of European ecological expansion.

Constantine, Divine Emperor of the Christian Golden Age Jonathan Bardill

Constantine, Divine Emperor of the Christian Golden Age offers a radical reassessment of Constantine as an emperor, a pagan and a Christian. Setting the emperor in the context of the kings and emperors who preceded him, the book explores how Constantine’s propagandists exploited the traditional themes and imagery of rulership to portray him as having been elected by the supreme solar God to save his people and inaugurate a brilliant golden age. ‘Bardill’s monograph is a major contribution to Constantine studies. His overarching argument, that the emperor’s monuments offered an open-ended set of associations that may have resonated differently for different viewers, but which cohered into a consistent vision of divinely sanctioned solar monotheism, is a welcome response to more one-dimensional interpretations of the reign. The volume is well written, thoroughly researched and handsomely produced. Its abundant illustrations include illuminating

Presidents have long claimed to be sole stewards of the interests of all Americans.

Contrary to popular characterization, they are particularistic politicians who prioritize the needs of certain constituents over others. ‘In this well-informed and rigorous work, the authors challenge the view of presidential universalism with their finding that presidents routinely allocate federal resources to benefit their partisan and electoral constituencies.

Why has voting in Congress become so partisan? Does partisanship in voting indicate that there is no common ground left between American parties? Laurel Harbridge’s findings in Is Bipartisanship Dead? shed light on whether partisan conflict is insurmountable, underscore how political parties manufacture partisan conflict, and speak to questions of representation and governance. ‘This provocative book looks beyond roll-call votes to understand the rise in partisan conflict in the House of Representatives. Documenting the robust persistence of bipartisanship in pre-floor settings, Harbridge contends that the high levels of party conflict on the contemporary House floor partly reflect the strategic choices of party leaders. Legislative scholars will want to engage with Harbridge’s careful and probing analysis.’ Frances Lee, University of Maryland
