Britain and Europe from the End of Empire to the Rise of Euroscepticism

‘What a timely and illuminating book this is! In his richly detailed study of Britain’s tempestuous relationship with the European Union, Benjamin Grob-Fitzgibbon shows that the shift from the postwar conviction that a unified Europe was beneficial to Britain to the current wave of Euroscepticism needs to be set in the context of the loss of empire and a longing for its return. A first-rate history that offers real insight into the roots of Euroscepticism.’

DANE KENNEDY, author of Decolonization: A Very Short Introduction

9781107071261 Jacket. C M Y K

‘This is an intensely readable and engaging study of that most perennial issue in post-war British public life: ‘Europe’. Benjamin Grob-Fitzgibbon deftly weaves personalities, parties, and policies in a compelling study which places Britain and Europe in the context of Britain and the world, to the further illumination of each.

Continental Drift deserves to become a standard work.’

MARTIN FARR, author of Reginald McKenna

‘In this absorbing study, Benjamin Grob-Fitzgibbon tackles head-on a theory routinely invoked by politicians and pundits but almost never subjected to serious scholarly scrutiny – that Britain’s turbulent membership of the European Union has long been plagued by the unreconciled longings of empire. Continental Drift not only offers a compelling diagnosis of a major scholarly oversight, but also brings Britain’s imperial past into a fascinating dialogue with its troubled European present.’

In the aftermath of the Second World War, Churchill sought to lead Europe into an integrated union, but a little more than seventy years later Britain is poised to vote on leaving the European Union (EU).

Benjamin Grob-Fitzgibbon here recounts the fascinating history of Britain’s uneasy relationship with the European continent since the end of the war. He shows how British views of the United Kingdom’s place within Europe cannot be understood outside of the context of decolonisation, the Cold War, and the Anglo-American relationship.

At the end of the Second World War, Britons viewed themselves both as the leaders of a great empire and as the natural centre of Europe. With the decline of the British Empire and the formation of the European Economic Community, however, Britons developed a Euroscepticism that was inseparable from a post-imperial nostalgia.

Britain had evolved from an island of imperial Europeans to one of post-imperial Eurosceptics.

Birth Control in the Decolonizing Caribbean Reproductive Politics and Practice on Four Islands, 1930–1970 Nicole C. Bourbonnais Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva

Birth Control in the Decolonizing Caribbean explores how twentiethcentury birth control campaigns intersected with wider debates over imperialism, nationalism, transnationalism, inequality, and culture in the Caribbean. This book will appeal to readers interested in Caribbean history, the African Diaspora, gender, race, and class politics, as well as transnational and social history.

Advance praise: ‘Nicole C. Bourbonnais tracks the complex politics of birth control in the decolonising Caribbean, illuminating the way that local contingencies shaped broad global population policies. Deftly navigating competing interpretations of birth control as liberation or as coercion, her study encompasses both the debates surrounding the provision of contraception and the lives of those affected by it. This is a work of profound importance.’

Empires and Bureaucracy in World History From Late Antiquity to the Twentieth Century Edited by Peter Crooks Trinity College, Dublin

and Timothy H. Parsons Washington University, St Louis

This book provides a global history of the power and limits of imperial rule from antiquity to the present. Written by a team of leading scholars, it sheds new light on the rise and fall of empires, and questions the association of bureaucratic rationality with ‘modernity’ and the ‘Rise of the West’.

‘Crooks and Parsons have taken an unfashionable subject and crafted a sparkling set of essays that demonstrate the importance of bureaucracy to the founding and maintaining of a diverse array of empires. Speaking across a huge temporal divide, this collection is sensitive to newer histories of colonialism, takes nothing for granted, and rethinks comparative history in important and productive ways. An impressive contribution that belongs on the shelves of historians of empire from every era and every region.’

A Concise History of the World Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee

A concise history of the world from the Paleolithic to the present, telling the story of humans as producers and reproducers.

‘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 E. 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.’

Luxury in Global Perspective

A Contemporary History of Testimony in Crises Michal Givoni

Objects and Practices, 1600–2000 Edited by Karin Hofmeester

Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel

The Care of the Witness probes the ambiguities of witnessing to genocide, disaster, and war in the ‘era of the witness’. This book will appeal to readers interested in collective memory, oral history, and human rights and humanitarian work, as well as in visual culture, political theory and ethics more broadly.

‘At once thoughtful and provocative, Michal Givoni’s The Care of the Witness traces the arteries of testimony that flow through twentieth-century experiences of war, humanitarian action and the Holocaust, exposing them to rigorous analysis. Anyone concerned with the political stakes of contemporary ethical speech should read this book.’

Epidemics in Modern Asia Robert Peckham The University of Hong Kong

The first history of epidemics in modern Asia. Robert Peckham considers the varieties of responses that epidemics have elicited – from India to China and the Russian Far East – and examines the processes that have helped to produce and diffuse disease across the region.

‘Richly researched and keenly argued, Robert Peckham puts epidemic disease at the centre of a modern history of Asia. From China to India, this book unravels a history in which biology and Asian modernities have shaped one another. In so doing, he freshly recasts our understanding of how disease and social worlds are linked in complex political ecologies with unexpected pasts.’

World history / History of Britain – 1066 – 1450 / History of Britain after 1450 The Cambridge World History of Slavery Volume 4: AD 1804–AD 2016 Edited by David Eltis Emory University, Atlanta

Stanley L. Engerman University of Rochester, New York

Seymour Drescher University of Pittsburgh

and David Richardson University of Hull

Slavery and coerced labor have been among the most ubiquitous of human institutions both in time – from ancient times to the present – and in place, having existed in virtually all geographic areas and societies. This volume covers the period from the independence of Haiti to modern perceptions of slavery by assembling twenty-eight original essays, each written by scholars acknowledged as leaders in their respective fields.

Issues discussed include the sources of slaves, the slave trade, the social and economic functioning of slave societies, the responses of slaves to enslavement, efforts to abolish slavery continuing to the present day, the flow of contract labor and other forms of labor control in the aftermath of abolition, and the various forms of coerced labor that emerged in the twentieth century under totalitarian regimes and colonialism.

The House of Commons 1604–1629

Britain’s Maritime Empire

An Introductory Survey Andrew Thrush

Edited by Eugenio F. Biagini

Southern Africa, the South Atlantic and the Indian Ocean, 1763–1820 John McAleer

University of Cambridge

University of Southampton

and Mary E. Daly

This book analyses the critical role played by the maritime gateway to Asia around the Cape of Good Hope in the development of the British Empire.

Focusing on a region that connected the Atlantic and Indian oceans at the centre of a vital maritime chain linking Europe with Asia, the book re-examines and reappraises Britain’s oceanic empire.

The comprehensive history of parliament, The House of Commons 1604–1629, was published in 2010.

A monumental series, it provides biographical and constituency studies covering the period. This widely praised, groundbreaking introductory survey, previously only available as part of the six-volume work, is now published as a separate volume. The first ever account of the early seventeenth-century House of Commons as an institution, it shows how there was a crisis of legislation in the 1620s and how the committee of the whole House transformed the way the House operated. Covering a period of intense historiographical interest and debate, it draws on the most comprehensive treatment of politics, elections and parliament in the period ever assembled, the result of research in over 170 archives.

Descendancy Irish Protestant Histories since 1795 David Fitzpatrick AT&T Laboratories Research, Florham Park, New Jersey

This is a compelling account of Protestant loss of power and selfconfidence in Ireland since 1795.

David Fitzpatrick examines the social and political ramifications of religious affiliation and belief as practised in fraternities, church congregations, and isolated sub-communities and illustrates how individuals experienced and perceived ‘descendancy’.

‘Historians sometimes explain the governance of eighteenth-century Ireland using the term Protestant Ascendancy. This compelling and accessible new book by David Fitzpatrick charts the decline in Protestant power afterwards, beginning in 1795 when the Orange Order formed. This was no uniform plunge into powerlessness.

By exploring different facets of Protestantism, Fitzpatrick expertly reveals the dimensions of descent.’

Race and Imperial Defence in the British World, 1870–1914 John C. Mitcham Duquesne University, Pittsburgh

A comprehensive account of the cultural and racial origins of the imperial security partnership between Britain and the dominions. John C. Mitcham demonstrates how a shared concept of ‘Britishness’ led to closer relations between the self-governing states of the empire, ultimately resulting in a unified effort during the Great War. ‘John C. Mitcham demonstrates how the rise of European nation states, and the scale of contemporary warfare, transformed British identity into a tool in the global Darwinian competition for survival, one which linked Britain and the Anglophone dominions in a defence partnership, against other powers, and the non-British ‘other’ within.’

Richard Bancroft and Elizabethan Anti-Puritanism Patrick Collinson University of Cambridge

This major new study explores the Elizabethan Puritan movement through the eyes of its most determined and relentless opponent, Richard Bancroft, later Archbishop of Canterbury. It analyses his obsession with the perceived threat to the stability of the church and state presented by the advocates of radical presbyterian reform.

‘A work of formidable scholarship which explores the Puritan movement through the eyes of its most relentless opponent. Historians of the North will be particularly interested in Bancroft’s dealings with successive archbishops of York.’

The Smoke of London Energy and Environment in the Early Modern City William M. Cavert University of St Thomas, Minnesota

London was the early modern world’s most polluted city, and its dependence on coal had profound consequences for public health, the environment, and ultimately politics and culture.

William M. Cavert presents a detailed study of how inhabitants and travelers accommodated themselves to London’s smoky air.

‘The Smoke of London takes its inspiration from environmental history to make a powerful contribution to our understanding of debates in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England about urbanisation, economic growth, and its environmental consequences …

[The book] does forcibly show that debates about urban pollution long predate the nineteenth century and offers a fascinating window onto environmental attitudes in early modern England. Cavert’s book is, then, a wide-ranging, nuanced, and thoughtful contribution to environmental, urban, and English history.’

HIGHLIGHT

Continental Drift Britain and Europe from the End of Empire to the Rise of Euroscepticism Benjamin Grob-Fitzgibbon United States Department of State

In the aftermath of the Second World War, Churchill sought to lead Europe into an integrated union, but just over seventy years later, Britain is poised to vote on leaving the EU. Benjamin GrobFitzgibbon here recounts the fascinating history of Britain’s uneasy relationship with the European continent since the end of the war. He shows how British views of the United Kingdom’s place within Europe cannot be understood outside of the context of decolonization, the Cold War, and the Anglo-American relationship. At the end of the Second World War, Britons viewed themselves both as the leaders of a great empire and as the natural centre of Europe.

With the decline of the British Empire and the formation of the European Economic Community, however, Britons developed a Euroscepticism that was inseparable from a post-imperial nostalgia. Britain had evolved from an island of imperial Europeans to one of post-imperial Eurosceptics.

‘What a timely and illuminating book this is! In his richly detailed study of Britain’s tempestuous relationship with the European Union, Benjamin Grob-Fitzgibbon shows that the

shift from the post-war conviction that a unified Europe was beneficial to Britain to the current wave of Euroscepticism needs to be set in the context of the loss of empire and a longing for its return. A first-rate history that offers real insight into the roots of Euroscepticism.’

Sixties Ireland Reshaping the Economy, State and Society, 1957–1973 Mary E. Daly University College Dublin

A comprehensive account of the remaking of Ireland’s economy and society. Mary E. Daly examines how this small state responded to the political and economic pressures associated with modern industrialisation and EEC membership; a story that is instructive to contemporary debates about sovereignty and globalisation.

‘With an unsparing ability to distinguish myth from reality, Mary Daly reveals why Ireland, despite some impressive growth in the 1960s, remained one of the poorest countries in Europe. Deeply relevant to the economic, political, and religious questions confronting Ireland today, this book will provoke a lively response.’

History of Native American peoples Apache Adaptation to Hispanic Rule Aimed at scholars of American Indians, early North America, and colonial Mexico, this book explores how Apache groups negotiated peace and adapted to Spanish and Mexican colonialism.

Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, it combines Spanish documents from archives in Spain, Mexico, and the US, with anthropology, archaeology, and Ndé (Apache) oral history.

‘Deeply researched and lucidly argued, Matthew Babcock’s Apache Adaptation to Hispanic Rule casts fresh light on an important, if longignored, aspect of borderlands and Apache history: the establecimientos de paz of the late Spanish and early Mexican era.’

The Loyalist Problem in Revolutionary New England Thomas N. Ingersoll Ohio State University

The Loyalist Problem in Revolutionary New England explores the struggle of revolutionaries to define the basic meaning of the American Revolution, against stubborn resistance by the Loyalists.

‘Deeply researched and cogently argued, Thomas N. Ingersoll’s The Loyalist Problem in Revolutionary New England brilliantly exposes the roots of the American Revolution in the original settlement of New England.

His book is a must-read for any student of the founding of our nation.’

Maritime Culture in America, 1750–1850 Paul A. Gilje University of Oklahoma

This book is for readers interested in American maritime history and in the history of the United States before 1850.

Using a wide range of sources, including cursing, language, logbooks, spinning yarns, sailor songs, and material culture, the book demonstrates that the United States was once a maritime nation.

‘From the pen of a premier historian of early working and seafaring Americans comes a fascinating new work of cultural history. To Swear like a Sailor starts with the idea that language offers a window into the intellect and the ‘soul’ of the user. Gilje sets out to study the expressions of his saltwater people in literally every form he can trace: curses, jargon, log books, yarns, songs, and drawings. A clever epilogue on the sea chest as the container of a sailor’s trove of worldly possessions packs the whole subject back into a carrying case. The execution is both artful and accessible.’

Colonial American history / Early republic and antebellum history KEY REFERENCE

America and Great Britain: Diplomatic Relations 1775–1815 British Government Documents Compiled by Anita Burdett

America and Great Britain: Diplomatic Relations 1775–1815 provides seven thousand pages of primary documents, written by contemporary diplomats, charting the emergence of an independent America. This collection is made up of the diplomatic and official correspondence between America and Britain and gives an extraordinary insight into the shaping of a nation, from America being referred to as ‘our Colonies and Plantations in North America’ by the King, to its recognition as the ‘United States’ by Britain in 1782. The correspondence is formed of diplomatic letters between the British Government and American officials including Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, James Madison, John Jay and John Hancock. The collection begins with a résumé of events centred around American protests over taxation, follows the course of the War of Independence, and concludes, after ratification of the Treaty of Ghent in February 1815, with the restoration of normal diplomatic relations.

Before Dred Scott Slavery and Legal Culture in the American Confluence, 1787–1857 Anne Twitty University of Mississippi

Appealing to legal historians and scholars, this antebellum history uses original legal suits to analyse the understanding, use, and adaptation of formal law by slave holders and slaves within the American Confluence, an area of liminal boundaries where the

Early republic and antebellum history / American history – 1861 – 1900 / American history after 1945 Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri Rivers converge.

‘Anne Twitty’s compact and compelling book prompts us to redraw regional borders and rethink legal cultures. In contrast to the longstanding view of the ‘American Confluence’ as a house divided, a place where the Ohio and Mississippi rivers bounded conflicting regimes of slave and free labor, Before Dred Scott forwards an alternative mapping characterized by fluid borders and connected by a common legal culture with remarkably deep roots among diverse populations. The book will not settle arguments about regions and rules of law, but it will provoke some very productive ones.’

Envisioning the Arab Future Modernization in US-Arab Relations, 1945–1967 Nathan J. Citino Rice University, Houston

Based on research in Arabic and English, this book analyzes US-Arab conflicts over modernization. Challenging assumptions about a ‘clash of civilizations’, it shows how Americans and Arabs including nationalists, Islamists, and communists debated the Arab future within a shared set of Cold War-era ideas about progress.

Advance praise: ‘Envisioning the Arab Future is noteworthy both in the variety of case studies examined and in the range of sources utilized. It repeatedly demonstrates the degree to which Arabs and Americans often spoke a common language and had a shared vision of ‘modernization’, and how specific modernizing policies and initiatives were mutually constituted out of Arab-American dialogue.

This is a valuable addition to our understanding of the Arab-American relationship in the post-World War II decades.’

Beyond the Rope The Impact of Lynching on Black Culture and Memory Karlos K. Hill Texas Tech University

Unlike most histories of lynching, it explains how African Americans were both purveyors and victims of lynch mob violence and how this dynamic has shaped the meaning of lynching in black culture.

‘In Beyond the Rope: The Impact of Lynching on Black Culture and Memory, Karlos K. Hill powerfully contributes to the movement among historians to reconstruct counter narratives of lynchings told from the perspective of [a] variety of African American actors pursuing very different goals. Perhaps better than has been done before, Hill has historicized African American counter narratives of lynching, situating them

African American history / 20C American history Child Slavery before and after Emancipation An Argument for Child-Centered Slavery Studies Edited by Anna Mae Duane University of Connecticut

Experts agree that children constitute a large proportion of enslaved populations, both before and after legal emancipation. This anthology foregrounds children on the long continuum of slavery’s history to ask how and why the enslavement of children has been central to slavery’s continuation on a global level, even after legal emancipation.

Advance praise: ‘These consistently excellent, highly insightful essays compel us to reconsider the problem of slavery as history and also as an agonizing contemporary challenge. The case developed here for a child-centered study of slavery, past and present, is truly compelling.’

The Afterlife of John Fitzgerald Kennedy A Biography Michael J. Hogan University of Illinois, Springfield

In his new book, Michael J. Hogan, a leading historian of the American presidency, offers a new perspective on John F. Kennedy, as seen not from his life and times but from his afterlife in American memory. The Afterlife of John Fitzgerald Kennedy considers how Kennedy constructed a popular image of himself, in effect, a brand, as he played the part of president on the White House stage. The cultural trauma brought on by his assassination further burnished that image and began the process of transporting Kennedy from history to memory. Hogan shows

how Jacqueline Kennedy, as the chief guardian of her husband’s memory, devoted herself to embedding the image of the slain president in the collective memory of the nation, evident in the many physical and literary monuments dedicated to his memory. Regardless of critics, most Americans continue to see Kennedy as his wife wanted him remembered: the charming war hero, the loving husband and father, and the peacemaker and progressive leader who inspired confidence and hope in the American people.

Governing with Words The Political Dialogue on Race, Public Policy, and Inequality in America Daniel Q. Gillion University of Pennsylvania

Governing with Words challenges the perception that politicians’ discussion of race only hinders policy success and leads to a backlash from the American public. This study will be assigned to undergraduate and graduate students taking courses on race and ethnic politics, public policy, political communication, and health policy.

‘Mark Twain once (apocryphally?) remarked that everyone talks about the weather but no one does anything about it. Daniel Q. Gillion moves beyond this stasis by showing when and how political leaders talk about race, pivot from talk to actions, and absorb both positive and negative reactions from listeners. Through a subtle, imaginative, careful, and impassioned analysis, he shows that words matter – politically, morally, emotionally, substantively. A fascinating story.’

America’s Forgotten Colony Cuba’s Isle of Pines Michael E. Neagle Nichols College, Massachusetts

As US-Cuban diplomatic relations thaw in the twenty-first century, America’s Forgotten Colony examines the ambivalent relationship between Americans and Cubans on the Isle of Pines in the twentieth century.

Accessible to specialists, students, and general readers, this book shows how US influence adapted and endured prior to Cuba’s revolution.

Advance praise: ‘In unearthing the story of the doomed US settlement of Cuba’s Isle of Pines, Michael E. Neagle weaves a tale at once complex, sad and always fascinating, a veritable saga of US hegemonic ups and downs in the Caribbean. Displaying elegant writing, remarkable research and careful judgment, America’s Forgotten Colony ensures that it will never again be.’

A new take on the origins of the Southern literary renaissance, Reviewing the South shows how book reviewing played a vital role in shaping an image of the South in the American national consciousness during the interwar years.

Advance praise: ‘Gardner, one of America’s leading literary historians, offers strikingly fresh insights into the South and the nation between the World Wars.

In shifting our focus from authors to the commercial book industry, Gardner reveals a world of reviewers, readers, and publishers, a culture that has remained largely hidden until now. This book will shape our understanding of American literary history for years to come.’

The World Reimagined Americans and Human Rights in the Twentieth Century Mark Philip Bradley University of Chicago

Concerns about rights in the United States have a long history, but the articulation of global human rights in the twentieth century was something altogether different. Global human rights offered individuals unprecedented guarantees beyond the nation for the protection of political, economic, social and cultural freedoms. The World Reimagined explores how these revolutionary developments first became believable to Americans in the 1940s and the 1970s through everyday vernaculars as they emerged in political and legal thought, photography, film,

novels, memoirs and soundscapes.

Together, they offered fundamentally novel ways for Americans to understand what it means to feel free, culminating in today’s ubiquitous moral language of human rights. Set against a sweeping transnational canvas, the book presents a new history of how Americans thought and acted in the twentieth-century world.

‘This is a magnificent and muchneeded book on how the United States has wrestled with the global human rights imagination in the twentieth century. Bradley’s history provides an essential discussion of the background for some of the critical issues in today’s international human rights regime.’

States of Dependency Welfare, Rights, and American Governance, 1935–1972 Karen M. Tani University of California, Berkeley

States of Dependency recounts the transformation of American poor relief in the decades spanning the New Deal and the War on Poverty. This history explains how public welfare became bureaucratized, centralized, and professionalized; how welfare rights claims materialized; and why, nonetheless, American citizenship does not guarantee a minimally adequate income.

‘States of Dependency inverts the story of New Deal social benefits to provide a fresh perspective on the story of state-building. Tani explains how federal authorities relied on the language of rights to legitimize new programs, only to run afoul of local communities. This powerful book suggests how providing relief led to a stronger central government with the authority to scrutinize individual lives.

I’m persuaded!’

Thoreau at 200 Essays and Reassessments Edited by Kristen Case

Federal Taxation in America A History Third edition W. Elliot Brownlee University of California, Santa Barbara

This book provides an inviting, compact and comprehensive history of American taxation that assists in understanding contemporary tax issues. It also offers scholars, graduate students and advanced undergraduates in history, political science, sociology, economics and law an interdisciplinary interpretation of that history.

‘Brownlee has long been the Dean of tax historians in this country and Federal Taxation in America has been an indispensable resource for generations of scholars. By capturing the broad themes without leaving the reader lost in a sea of minutiae, it is both sophisticated and accessible.

Even in its third edition, the book remains as fresh and insightful as it ever was. Indeed, in examining the latest tax regime, which Brownlee dubs retro-liberal, and situating it within the broader history of taxation, the book may say as much about the future of taxation as it does about the past.’

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.

‘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.’

The Cambridge History of Religions in Latin America Edited by Virginia Garrard-Burnett University of Texas, Austin

Paul Freston Balsillie School of International Affairs, Ontario

and Stephen C. Dove Centre College, Danville, Kentucky

The Cambridge History of Religions in Latin America covers religious history in Latin America from pre-Conquest times until the present. This publication is important; first, because of the historical and contemporary centrality of religion in the life of Latin America; second, for the rapid process of religious change which the region is undergoing; and third, for the region’s religious distinctiveness in global comparative terms, which contributes to its importance for debates over religion, globalization, and modernity. Reflecting recent currents of scholarship, this volume addresses the breadth of Latin American religion, including religions of the African diaspora, indigenous spiritual expressions, non-Christian traditions, new religious movements, alternative spiritualities, and secularizing tendencies.

Latin American history / European history – 450 – 1000 Indigenous Elites and Creole Identity in Colonial Mexico, 1500–1800 Peter B. Villella University of North Carolina, Greensboro

Modern Mexico derives many symbols of identity and heritage from its Aztec legacy. This book demonstrates that such emotional links to the native past originated in part among colonialera indigenous leaders who adapted ancestral memories following the Spanish conquest, eventually enabling American-born Spaniards to likewise identify with this ancient legacy.

‘Professor Villella has proven that there is no key juncture in the development of Mexico’s imaginary past in which indigenous figures were not involved. After reading Villella’s book, one can in no way argue that Indians themselves were not integrally involved in the production and evolution of the nation’s selfunderstanding. It is a masterful work.’

Indian and Slave Royalists in the Age of Revolution Reform, Revolution, and Royalism in the Northern Andes, 1780–1825 Marcela Echeverri Yale University, Connecticut

Marcela Echeverri draws a picture of the royalist region of Popayán (modernday Colombia) that reveals deep chronological layers and multiple social and spatial textures. She uses royalism as a lens to rethink the temporal, spatial, and conceptual boundaries that conventionally structure historical narratives about the Age of Revolution.

‘One of the great merits of this book – and something that makes it truly unique – is that it analyzes black and Indian political strategies within the space of the same historical narrative. Echeverri skillfully stretches conventional understandings of the geography of the Atlantic world by writing the history of a royalist bastion along the northern Pacific coast of South America. The breadth and depth of historiographical engagement in this manuscript is quite remarkable. There are only a handful

of books that I have encountered that equal Echeverri’s mastery of these diverse historical literatures.’

Theater of a Thousand Wonders

Fractional Freedoms

A History of Miraculous Images and Shrines in New Spain William B. Taylor University of California, Berkeley

A sweeping study of the images and shrines of New Spain, based on extensive research into little-known archival and early printed sources and giving a unique perspective of material culture, pilgrimage, and the place of miracles and relics in the story of Catholicism becoming an American religion.

‘The distillation of a lifetime of study, Theater of a Thousand Wonders tells a story of affection, veneration, petition and grace across the Mexican landscape in the colonial period.

Careful, attentive, and reflective, William B. Taylor examines how shrines were founded, what made them succeed or fail, how they changed over time, and the material aspects of their miracle-workings images. His wise work finds universal patterns in the local and recalls the marvelous side of long-forgotten lives.’

Slavery, Intimacy, and Legal Mobilization in Colonial Lima, 1600–1700 Michelle A. McKinley University of Oregon

How could enslaved women assert legal claims to personhood, wages, and virtue when the law regarded them as mere property? Fractional Freedoms tells the story of enslaved legal actors within the landscape of Hispanic urban slavery, focussing on women who were socially disadvantaged, economically active and extremely litigious.

‘This is, without a doubt, one of the richest, most complex and wellresearched studies of urban slavery in colonial Latin America. McKinley brings acute legal knowledge, both of the content of law and of its performative practice, to a study of enslaved men and women. The archival wealth here, plus the author’s ability to tell a compelling yarn, produce an engaging and scholarly tome.’

Anti-Jewish Riots in the Crown of Aragon and the Royal Response, 1391–1392 Benjamin R. Gampel Jewish Theological Seminary, New York

Benjamin R. Gampel explores the social, religious, political, and economic tensions at play during the anti-Jewish riots of 1391–2 in the lands of Castile and Aragon. Based on archival research, this in-depth study is essential for scholars and graduate students of medieval Spain and Jewish history.

‘What set the devastating Iberian riots against Jews in 1391–2 in motion?

Why were the rulers of Aragon relatively ineffective in putting down the spiraling late-fourteenth-century violence in their realm? Using rich new data from the Aragonese archives, Professor Gampel addresses both these important questions, provides valuable information on the evolution of the persecution, and cautiously proposes new perspectives about the riots’ origins and how the rulers of Aragon dealt with them. In so doing, he illuminates brilliantly one of the major disasters that struck medieval Jewry.’

Medieval Chivalry Richard W. Kaeuper University of Rochester, New York

This study provides 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.

Using quantitative and qualitative methods to re-evaluate the role of late medieval church courts, Tyler Lange examines the relatively common occurrence of excommunicated debtors.

This reveals how day-to-day credit functioned in the late Middle Ages, what debt meant to contemporaries, and how believers understood the Church.

This volume of Medieval European Coinage is the first comprehensive survey of the coinage of north Italy c.950–1500, bringing the latest research to an international audience. It provides an authoritative and up-to-date account of the coinages of Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy and the greater Veneto, which have never been studied together in such detail on a broad regional basis.

The volume reveals for the first time the wider trends that shaped the coinages of the region and offers new syntheses of the monetary history of the individual cities. It includes detailed appendices, such as a list of coin hoards, indices and a glossary, as well as a fully illustrated catalogue of the north Italian coins, including those of Genoa, Milan and Venice, in the unrivalled collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum, largely formed by Professor Philip Grierson (1910–2006).

European history after 1450

University of Helsinki

and Jens E. Olesen Ernst-Moritz-Universität, Greifswald, Germany

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.

The Cambridge Dictionary of Modern World History Edited by Chris Cook and John Stevenson University of Oxford

In a world where we take for granted the ability to communicate instantly across vast distances and time, world history has come of age. We increasingly reflect on history from a position which no longer privileges Europe or the ‘West’, and from a global perspective which ranges from the Pacific Rim to the Balkans, and from Latin America to the Middle East. Compiled by an international team of contributors under two highly-experienced general editors, The Cambridge Dictionary of Modern World History provides a much-needed guide to the main global events, personalities and themes from the eighteenth century to the present.

Major themes of war, politics, society and religion are covered, alongside more recent subjects within the discipline; from globalisation and the environment to transnational social movements and human rights. This is an essential new work of reference not only for scholars and students but also for the wider general public.

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

European history after 1450 complex social and political history of the city.

The Channel England, France and the Construction of a Maritime Border in the Eighteenth Century Renaud Morieux University of Cambridge

Rather than a natural frontier between natural enemies, this book approaches the English Channel as a shared space, which mediated the multiple relations between France and England in the long eighteenth century. This is an important reassessment of the history of Britain’s deep historical connections with Europe.

‘Morieux offers a useful corrective to the new British history or ‘archipelagic studies’, whose challenge to Anglocentric history has a tendency to overlook Europe. It’s a cliché to say a book is timely, but in the midst of another debate on borders this book presents a bigger picture.’

Thieves in Court The Making of the German Legal System in the Nineteenth Century Rebekka Habermas Georg-August-Universität, Göttingen, Germany

Translated by Kathleen Mitchell Dell’Orto

Ideal for legal historians and scholars interested in the evolution of legal systems, Habermas offers a fresh look at thievery in the German countryside in the nineteenth century and shows how these instances influenced the emergence of the modern legal system and a new conception of property emerged.

‘In a brilliant study of ‘jurisdictional politics’, Rebekka Habermas delivers a fresh and sophisticated account of the social grounding, cultural performance, and public staging that shaped a reformed legal system in the wake of the 1848 revolutions.

Challenging not only the celebratory liberal story of the progressive march of the rule of law but also the social historian’s class-based critique of the rule of property, she derives the rise of ‘the modern legal order’ from an elaborate process of cultural conflict and everyday transactions.’

War beyond Words Languages of Memory from the Great War to the Present Jay Winter Yale University, Connecticut

What we know of war is always mediated knowledge and feeling. We need lenses to filter out some of its blinding, terrifying light. These lenses are not fixed; they change over time, and Jay Winter’s panoramic history of war and memory offers an unprecedented study of transformations in our imaginings of war, from 1914 to the present. He reveals the ways in which different creative arts have framed our meditations on war from painting and sculpture to photography, film and poetry, and ultimately to silence, as a language of memory in its own right.

He shows how these highly mediated images of war, in turn, circulate through language to constitute our ‘cultural memory’ of war. This is a major contribution to our understanding of the diverse ways in which men and women have wrestled with the intractable task of conveying what twentieth-century wars meant to them and mean to us.

The State, Antisemitism, and Collaboration in the Holocaust The Borderlands of Romania and the Soviet Union Diana Dumitru Ion Creangă Pedagogical State University, Moldova

Based on original sources, this book explores regional variations in civilians’ attitudes toward the Jewish population in Romania and the occupied Soviet Union. Gentiles’ willingness to assist Jews was greater in lands that had been under Soviet administration during the inter-war period, as opposed to those under Romanian administration.

‘Can states school their citizens for genocide? Does valuing cultural diversity, by contrast, create a lasting buffer against state-organized violence? Diana Dumitru’s thesis is provocative: that the Soviet ideology of ‘friendship of peoples’ attenuated popular antisemitism. Using the Romanian-Soviet borderland as a kind of natural experiment, Dumitru finds substantial differences between how neighboring populations in Romania and the USSR viewed their Jewish neighbors. Dumitru’s work will open new debates about the power of political choice in determining the course of the Holocaust in different lands.’

The Making of an SS Killer The Life of Colonel Alfred Filbert, 1905–1990 Alex J. Kay Institut für Zeitgeschichte München–Berlin

In this pioneering biography of a frontline Holocaust perpetrator, Alex J. Kay uncovers the life of SS Lieutenant Colonel Alfred Filbert, responsible as the first head of SS-Einsatzkommando 9, a mobile killing squad, for the murder of more than 18,000 Soviet Jews – men, women and children – on the Eastern Front. He reveals how Filbert, following the political imprisonment of his older brother, set out to prove his own ideological allegiance by displaying particular radicalism in implementing the orders issued by Hitler, Himmler and Heydrich. He also examines Filbert’s post-war experiences, first in hiding and then being captured, tried and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Released early, Filbert went on to feature in a controversial film in the lead role of an SS mass murderer. The book provides compelling new insights into the mindset and motivations of the men, like Filbert, who rose through the ranks of the Nazi regime.

‘In this compelling biography of a key player in the implementation of the Holocaust, Alex J. Kay succeeds in explaining the extraordinary journey of Alfred Filbert to becoming a mass murderer. Sound in judgement and full of novel insights, the book is an important addition to the genre of perpetrator studies.’

TEXTBOOK

The Extermination of the European Jews Christian Gerlach Universität Bern, Switzerland

A 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.

‘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.’

Europe after Empire Decolonization, Society, and Culture Elizabeth Buettner University of Amsterdam

A pioneering comparative history of British, French, Dutch, Belgian, and Portuguese decolonization from the formal ending of empires to the postcolonial European present. Elizabeth Buettner charts the social, cultural, and political impacts of European decolonization, including postcolonial migration, multicultural societies, and divided memories of empires past.

‘Trying to understand how ‘the empire came home’ has inspired some of the most important historiography of twentieth-century Europe during the past two decades, bringing colonialism’s legacies under scrutiny in challenging new ways. With an approach both comparative and transnational, Elizabeth Buettner builds on this new work to craft a vividly insightful account of decolonization and its effects, one that deals not just with Britain and France, but with the Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal too.’

Geoff Eley, University of Michigan

Soldiering on in the shadow of war: decolonizing la plus grande France; 4. Long live the king?: Belgium, the monarchy, and the Congo between the Second World War and the decolonization years; 5. From rose-coloured map to Carnation Revolution: Portugal’s overseas amputations; Part II. Migrations and Multiculturalisms in Postcolonial Europe; 6.

Greening Democracy The Anti-Nuclear Movement and Political Environmentalism in West Germany and Beyond, 1968–1983 Stephen Milder Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, The Netherlands

Greening Democracy explains how nuclear energy became a seminal political issue and motivated new democratic engagement in West Germany during the 1970s. It charts how anti-nuclear protest became the basis for citizens’ increasing engagement in self-governance, expanding conceptions of democracy well beyond electoral politics and helping to make quotidian personal concerns political.

The Cambridge Intellectual History of Byzantium Edited by Anthony Kaldellis Ohio State University

and Niketas Siniossoglou National Hellenic Research Foundation, Institute for Historical Research

This volume brings the field of Byzantine intellectual history into being. Shifting focus from the cultural, social, and economic study of Byzantium to the life and evolution of ideas in their context, it provides an authoritative history of intellectual endeavors from late antiquity to the fifteenth century. At its heart lie the transmission, transformation, and shifts of Hellenic, Christian, and Byzantine ideas and concepts as exemplified in diverse aspects of intellectual life, from philosophy, theology, and rhetoric to astrology, astronomy, and politics. Case studies introduce the major players in Byzantine intellectual life, and particular emphasis is placed on the reception of ancient thought and its significance for secular as well as religious modes of thinking and acting. New insights are offered regarding controversial, understudied, or promising topics of research, such as philosophy and medical thought in Byzantium and intellectual exchanges with the Arab world.

Criminal Law in Liberal and Fascist Italy

Encountering Islam on the First Crusade

Paul Garfinkel

Nicholas Morton

Simon Fraser University, British Columbia

Nottingham Trent University

Drawing on a vast array of archival, legal and official sources, the author explains the sustained and wide-ranging interest in penal-law reform that defined this era in Italian legal history while analyzing the philosophical underpinnings of that reform and its relationship to contemporary penal-reform movements abroad.

A fundamental reassessment of Christian attitudes towards Muslims during the time of the First Crusade.

Offering a more nuanced picture, Nicholas Morton challenges the notion that the crusade was a deliberate attack on the Muslim world, and also considers its impact upon European attitudes towards Islam in the long term.

Advance praise: ‘Professor Garfinkel’s book is one of those rare works of original scholarship that succeeds in covering both the Liberal and Fascist eras in Italian history at the national level.

By concentrating on common crime rather than political crimes, he has developed an extremely original thesis that challenges the established interpretations of jurisprudence in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.’

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.

In Cold War Freud Dagmar Herzog uncovers the astonishing array of concepts of human selfhood which circulated across the globe in the aftermath of World War II. Against the backdrop of Nazism and the Holocaust, the sexual revolution, feminism, gay rights, and anticolonial and antiwar activism, she charts the heated battles which raged over Freud’s legacy. From the postwar US to Europe and Latin America, she reveals how competing theories of desire, anxiety, aggression, guilt, trauma and pleasure emerged and were then transformed to serve both conservative and subversive ends in a fundamental rethinking of the very nature of the human self and its motivations. Her findings shed new light on psychoanalysis’ enduring contribution to the enigma of the relationship between nature and culture, and the ways in which social contexts enter into and shape the innermost recesses of individual psyches.

Women in TwentiethCentury Africa Iris Berger State University of New York, Albany

During a turbulent colonial and postcolonial century, African women struggled to control their own marital, sexual and economic lives and to gain a significant voice in local and national politics. This book introduces students to these remarkable women.

‘Finally, a lucid, concise and lively synthesis of scholarly work on women in twentieth-century Africa suitable for undergraduates. Berger features life history, fiction, and song to bring major dynamics in African history to

33

life, firmly placing African women at the center of her narrative. She retains a strong authorial voice but succeeds in leaving the reader room for reflection and debate. The book also includes a useful discussion of references for further reading; it will prove a valuable resource for students and researchers. Women in TwentiethCentury Africa would be suitable for use in general courses on African history as well as more focused courses on women and gender.’

Barbara Cooper, Rutgers University, New Jersey

Pioneers of the Field South Africa’s Women Anthropologists Andrew Bank University of the Western Cape, South Africa

Tracing the personal and intellectual histories of six women anthropologists, this book will be welcomed by anthropologists, historians and students in African studies interested in the development of social anthropology in twentieth-century Africa, as well as by students and researchers in the field of gender studies.

‘Andrew Bank has made a major contribution to intellectual history in a volume that recognises the role played by six women anthropologists who were major contributors to the creation of a distinctive South African voice in anthropology: Winifred Hoernle, Audrey Richards, Monica Hunter Wilson, Hilda Beemer Kuper, Ellen Hellman and Eileen Jensen Krige. All, with the exception of Audrey Richards, were South African by birth. They were headed

by Winifred Hoernle, founder of the anthropology department at the University of Witswatersrand. She was an inspiring teacher and mentor who encouraged her students to read widely, think deeply, and do superb ethnographic studies that focused on the contemporary world of Southern Africa with its reserves, farms, small towns and mining centres.

In lucid, often lively, prose, Douglas Howard treats not only the Ottoman Empire’s political history but social, economic, religious, and intellectual developments, as well, incorporating imperial capital and provinces, elites and commoners, dispassionate analysis and telling anecdotes.

The Beginnings of Islamic Law Late Antique Islamicate Legal Traditions Lena Salaymeh Tel-Aviv University

This is a major and innovative contribution to our understanding of the historical unfolding of Islamic law.

Scrutinizing its historical contexts, Salaymeh proposes that Islamic law is a continuous intermingling of innovation and tradition. The book’s interdisciplinary approach provides accessible explanations and translations of complex materials and ideas.

Advance praise: ‘It is not an exaggeration to say that I have waited a lifetime for this level of superlative and inspired workmanship to grace the field of Islamic jurisprudence. This erudite and path-paving book has all the elements of becoming a classic in the

Middle East history field. By her unrelentingly rigorous historical method and penetrating comparative approach, the author has quite literally established a model for compelling and undeniable scholarship in the field. All students of Islamic jurisprudence, and also comparative legal studies, will be studying and debating this landmark work for many years to come.’

The Arabic Print Revolution Cultural Production and Mass Readership Ami Ayalon Tel-Aviv University

Ami Ayalon analyses how the advent of mass printing shaped the intellectual and cultural movements of the time, and how it encouraged the creation of new forms of literary heritage. This unique presentation is essential for students

and scholars of Arab intellectual and literary history, especially the nahda.

‘Significantly expanding his wellestablished studies on the history of printing, journalism, and literacy in the Arab world, Ami Ayalon’s new book offers an incisive analysis of what amounted to an Arab printing and reading revolution. A transition which, in comparison to Europe, may have come late to the region but was all the more intensive and influential from the nineteenth century onwards.

Systematically investigating the gradual diffusion and circulation of print, its initiators, and evolving reading habits, this is an impressively documented, tightly argued, and elegantly written account of the entire process, which will not only enlighten social, cultural, and intellectual historians of the Middle East, but anybody desiring to comprehend the evolvement of Arab society, or comparable developments elsewhere.’

TEXTBOOK

Anatomy of Authoritarianism in the Arab Republics Joseph Sassoon Georgetown University, Washington DC

By examining the system of authoritarianism in eight Arab republics, Joseph Sassoon portrays life under these regimes and explores the mechanisms underpinning their resilience. Taking a thematic approach, the book begins in

35

1952 with the Egyptian Revolution and ends with the Arab uprisings of 2011.

‘Authoritarian regimes in the Arab world have been [extensively] analyzed individually and sometimes as a group. Joseph Sassoon pursues a new way to approach studying them. He does not offer a new theoretical or analytical approach but instead explores them through a new (or rarely used) source: personal memoirs. Anatomy of Authoritarianism in the Arab Republics takes a very inductive approach: he reads the memoirs of those who participated in (and sometimes were victims of) authoritarianism in the Arab republics and explores some commonalities that he finds … Sassoon’s contribution here is not to highlight their importance but to observe their similarity …’

Nathan J. Brown, The Middle East Journal

Contents: Introduction; 1. Political memoirs in the Arab republics; 2. Party and governance; 3. The military; 4. The role of security services in the Arab republics; 5. Economy and finance; 6. Leadership and the cult of personality; 7. Transition from authoritarianism; Conclusion.

Hizbullah and the Politics of Remembrance Writing the Lebanese Nation Bashir Saade University of Edinburgh

Focusing on the writings and media contributions of intellectuals, journalists, and members associated with Hizbullah, Bashir Saade demonstrates that the party has developed its own understanding of ‘being Lebanese’ that it reproduces and deploys in varying combinations to meet evolving political challenges.

‘Through his focus on Hizbullah’s cultural production, Bashir Saade has provided a wonderful intellectual discursion into what sets it apart from almost any other contemporary Arab politico-military movement.

Central to this book is the notion that ideas are sticky, and tend to survive political changes: Hizbullah has turned them into traditions of doing, of action, through what [Saade] calls archival processes, a politics of remembering, and writing strategies that [Hizbullah’s] secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah, familiar to us all, both synthesizes and epitomizes with remarkable precision.’

Ming China and Vietnam Negotiating Borders in Early Modern Asia Kathlene Baldanza

For all formats available, see

Pennsylvania State University

www.cambridge.org/9781107076594

Traditional studies of Sino-Viet relations focused on outmoded debates about Chinese aggression and Vietnamese resistance. In reality, their shared heritage led to surprising alliances and connections, and spurred internal debates. Kathlene Baldanza examines seven linked biographies of Chinese and Vietnamese border-crossers whose lives illustrate the entangled histories of those countries.

Global Trade in the Nineteenth Century The House of Houqua and the Canton System John D. Wong The University of Hong Kong

A comprehensive study of the prominent Chinese merchant Houqua, whose trading network and financial connections stretched from China to India, America and Britain. John Wong examines the dynamics of global exchange configured around nineteenthcentury Canton, illustrating how the Chinese economy was integrated with global networks well before the Opium Wars.

‘Kathlene Baldanza uses Vietnamese and Chinese materials from the thirteenth to eighteenth centuries to fundamentally change our understanding of the Sino-Vietnamese relationship. She shows that Chinese administrators understood how Vietnamese leaders contributed to the management of border security, and that Vietnamese leaders used relations with China to maximise both border security and leverage against domestic rivals. This book will reorient all future scholarship on the topic.’

Australian National University, Canberra

A rich account of how and why China rebuilt its economic relationship with Japan so soon after the devastating experience of World War Two. King argues that the period between 1949 and 1971 was an important moment of non-Western modernisation stemming from the legacy of the Japanese empire, industry and war in China.

‘With the support of pioneering multi-archival research, Amy King’s pathbreaking book has made a major contribution to our knowledge and understanding of the complicated dynamics and many previously little studied dimensions of ChineseJapanese relations in the Cold War.’ Chen Jian, Hu Shih Professor of History and China-US Relations, Cornell University, New York

The Economic History of China From Antiquity to the Nineteenth Century Richard von Glahn University of California, Los Angeles

The first comprehensive study of China’s economic development across 3,000 years of history to be published in English.

‘Richard von Glahn, one of the leading historians of China’s middle period, has written the first truly comprehensive economic history of China in English. Giving due consideration to the role of geography, natural endowment, and a changing ideological, social and political landscape, Von Glahn’s masterful synthesis is destined to become the go-to reference on the forces that shaped China’s political economy from the Bronze Age to the end of the last dynasty.’

University of British Columbia, Vancouver

A vivid account of Chinese intellectuals across the twentieth century that provides a guide to making sense of China today.

Japanese Confucianism

‘We have long needed a clear, overarching view of the relationship between ideas and the people who articulate them on the one hand and the political system that they try to influence on the other. Finally, Timothy Cheek has produced a clear, articulate, and convincing guide to this complicated and elusive subject.

We are all in his debt.’

In an illuminating and provocative new study, Kiri Paramore evaluates the dynamics of Japanese Confucianism within a historical context to reveal its many cultural manifestations, as a religion and as a political tool, and as social capital and public discourse, as well as its role in international relations and statecraft.

A Cultural History Kiri Paramore Universiteit Leiden

‘An outstanding study of the complex and multiple manifestations of Confucianism throughout Japanese history. Through rich historical analyses, Kiri Paramore reveals the surprising and often counter-intuitive roles that Confucianism has played in Japan. This is a book that challenges many of our assumptions about Confucianism and that opens up new ways of thinking about both Japanese history and Confucianism in general.’

The River, the Plain, and the State An Environmental Drama in Northern Song China, 1048–1128 Ling Zhang Boston College, Massachusetts

The first history of the humanengineered flooding of China’s Yellow River, and how the creation of the delta affected the state, the environment, and the inhabitants of the region.

‘If you want a striking, documented, and even lyrical account of why the Yellow River is called ‘China’s Sorrow,’ this is the book for you. Full of hydrological wisdom, fateful decisions of Northern Song imperial officials, a river with ‘agency’ of its own to spare, human tragedy, deep environmental history, and vivid voices from a millennium ago, it is bound to have cross-disciplinary reach. Let’s call it a landmark study of a river.’

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.

Birkbeck College, University of London

The Opium War of 1839–1842 is a subject of enduring interest. The Chinese historian Mao Haijian presents a revisionist reading of the conflict and its main Chinese protagonists, offering a comprehensive explanation as to why the Qing Empire was so badly defeated by the British.

‘Dhulipala’s impressively researched, lucidly written, and intelligently argued book comes as a sharp but welcome corrective to the tendency to see Pakistan as a country created accidentally in a fit of popular enthusiasm and elite indirection in the final, confusing years of British rule in India. Dhulipala shows, with particular focus on north India, how rich the 1940s were with public debates in English and Urdu over the meaning of Pakistan. This is an exciting, significant, and challenging contribution to South Asian history.’

‘Sood successfully weaves a narrative on the basis of these exchanges to point out the obvious lacuna in existing scholarship on the region … this book opens up a fresh line of enquiry about the ways in which people of the region engaged with their polities and networks of circulation, and how these shaped their world and worldviews … What distinguishes the book from other similar kinds of writings is its dealings with its sources – letters that are far from adequate, often patchy, incomplete and certainly inarticulate.

Typically, ideas and views are expressed in the simplest and most localised idioms, and thus Sood must be credited for building a narrative on the basis of such materials and for further drawing scholarly attention to this neglected arena for further exploration.’

South-East Asian history / Australian history Vietnam’s Communist Revolution The Power and Limits of Ideology Tuong Vu University of Oregon

This book uses new Vietnamese sources to challenge conventional scholarship and the popular image of the Vietnamese revolution and the Vietnam War. It is valuable for scholars, students, and general readers interested in Vietnam, Southeast Asia, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, American foreign relations, revolutions and communism.

Advance praise: ‘Vietnam’s Communist Revolution is a path-breaking book in several respects. It is the first study in over a generation to cover the entire century-long history of the Vietnamese communist party from its inception after World War I until the present. Its use of vernacular-language primary documents to tell this important tale is unrivaled. Moreover, it deploys this rich source base to undermine an ossified, politicized conventional wisdom about Vietnamese communism that has endured since the War era. And it suggests a persuasive alternative. This book is a game changer in multiple fields.’

The Last Battle examines the environmental challenges, the difficulties presented by the physical and psychological damage many soldiers had sustained during the war, and the vital roles of women and children.

The Good Neighbour explores the Australian government’s efforts to support peace in the Pacific Islands from 1980 to 2006. It tells the story of the deployment of Australian diplomatic, military and policing resources at a time when neighbouring governments were under pressure from political violence and civil unrest. The main focus of this volume is Australian peacemaking and peacekeeping in response to the Bougainville Crisis, a secessionist rebellion that began in late 1988 with the sabotage of a major mining operation. Following a signed peace agreement in 2001, the crisis finally ended in December 2005, under the auspices of the United Nations. During this time Australia’s involvement shifted from behind-the-scenes peacemaking, to armed peacekeeping intervention, and finally to a longer-term unarmed regional peacekeeping operation.

Granted full access to all relevant government files, Bob Breen recounts the Australian story from decisions made in Canberra to the planning and conduct of operations.

The Continental Drift Controversy Henry R. Frankel University of Missouri, Kansas City

This four-volume treatise on the continental drift controversy is the first complete history of the revolutionary theory of plate tectonics. Based on extensive interviews, archival papers and original works, Frankel weaves together the lives and work of the scientists involved, producing an accessible narrative for scientists and non-scientists alike. ‘… an unparalleled study of remarkable depth, detail and quality of a key development in our ideas about how the Earth functions … because Frankel draws on his extensive oral historical work with the key players in the development of plate tectonics, this is a study which can never be repeated in terms of its proximity to the events narrated, so many of those key players now being deceased.’

Feral Animals in the American South An Evolutionary History Abraham H. Gibson Consortium for History of Science, Technology, and Medicine, Philadelphia

Operating within the context of a global history of feralization, this book focuses on providing a fresh perspective on both the American South and the human condition. It charts the social, cultural, and evolutionary consequences of domestication and feralization, while examining humans’ relationships with dogs, pigs, and horses in the American South.

‘Abraham Gibson’s Feral Animals in the American South: An Evolutionary History tells a fascinating story of animals in the American South and, as importantly, a fascinating story of humans – free and enslaved – in the American South. One comes away wiser and in many respects sadder about our relationships with animals and at least as much about our relationships with each other. This is a very important book that is relevant to many scholars in varying fields.’

Ian Speller National University of Ireland, Maynooth

Christopher Tuck King’s College London

and C. Dale Walton Lindenwood University, Missouri

A fully revised and updated new edition of this leading introduction to the theory and conduct of warfare in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The book combines analysis of key concepts, theory and military doctrine with reference to relevant examples from history, and integrates the land, sea and air environments.

‘Civilian academics typically and gratefully know next to nothing about real combat. This is why there is a yawning gap in the strategic studies literature on the non-trivial subject of actual warfare. Strategy is conveniently abstract but prospective anticipated tactical performance in the battle spaces on land, at sea, in the air, and now in cyberspaces commonly is mercifully omitted from close scholarly, but very inexpert, attention. Understanding Modern Warfare succeeds in addressing this major deficiency, and it does so even with the inclusion of first-rate analysis provided by the vital context of strategy. This book is one of the very few ‘must acquire and read’ items for all students of strategic studies.’

The Red Army and the Second World War Alexander Hill University of Calgary

In a definitive new account of the Soviet Union at war, Alexander Hill charts the development, successes and failures of the Red Army from the industrialisation of the Soviet Union in the late 1920s through to the end of the Great Patriotic War in May 1945. Setting military strategy and operations within a broader context that includes national mobilisation on a staggering scale, the book presents a comprehensive account of the origins and course of the war from the perspective of this key Allied power. Drawing on the latest archival research and a wealth of eyewitness testimony, Hill portrays the Red Army at war from the perspective of senior leaders and men and women at the front line to reveal how the Red Army triumphed over the forces of Nazi Germany and her allies on the Eastern Front, and why it did so at such great cost.

A broad-ranging study of the relationship between alliances and the conduct of grand strategy, examined through historical case studies.

The Battle of Jutland, fought between the British and German fleets in 1916, was the greatest naval engagement of the First World War. John Brooks presents a full account of the Battle, based on contemporary sources, which offers challenging new interpretations of the action and of its technologies, tactics and leadership.

With contributions from some of the world’s leading growth theorists, this is the first book to analyse the process of structural change and productivity growth in Asia, Europe, Latin America and the USA from a long-term comparative perspective. It is an essential reference for academics and professionals interested in economic growth.

‘Professors Jorgenson, Fukao, and Timmer report provocative and stunning projections of the future World Economy. The authors conclude the major source of global economic growth 1990–2012 has involved replication (adding identical production units with no change in technology) rather than innovation (creation of new products and processes). They project that accelerated rapid economic growth will continue, driven largely by replication in Asian countries. This is an absolute must-read book for students of global economic growth.’

TEXTBOOK

An Economic History of TwentiethCentury Europe Economic Regimes from LaissezFaire to Globalization Second edition Ivan T. Berend University of California, Los Angeles

A revised and fully-updated new edition of this leading survey of the twentieth-century European economy.

Ivan Berend provides an integrated, comparative account of European economic development from the evolution of capitalism to the fascist and communist regimes and their collapse, and the causes and impacts of the 2008 financial crisis.

‘An Economic History of TwentiethCentury Europe represents a tour de force that only a scholar with the broad intellectual interests, ambition, and experience of Professor Berend could have undertaken. The twentieth century appears as a long and dramatic journey between two globalization episodes in which dramatic social experiments were carried out and material progress and well-being reached the highest levels ever.’

Leandro Prados-de-la-Escosura, Charles III University of Madrid

Contents: Introduction; 1. Europe’s laissezfaire system and its impact before World War I; 2. Decline of laissez-faire and the rise of the regulated market system; 3. Economic dirigisme in authoritarian-fascist regimes; 4. The centrally planned economic system; 5. Managed social-market system in an integrating post-World War II Western Europe; 6.

The Information Nexus Global Capitalism from the Renaissance to the Present Steven G. Marks

The Hegemony of Growth The OECD and the Making of the Economic Growth Paradigm Matthias Schmelzer

Clemson University, South Carolina

Universität Zürich

A provocative account of what it is that makes capitalism unique. Steven Marks argues that capitalism’s distinctiveness as an economic system lies in business’s quest for information and usable knowledge, tracing how this developed from the Renaissance onwards, shaping economic development and the divergence of the East and West.

How did the pursuit of economic growth become the core goal of economic policymaking? Focussing on the OECD, Schmelzer offers a first transnational history of growth discourse, tracing how the methods employed to measure, model and prescribe growth resulted in new statistical standards, international policy frameworks and widely accepted norms.

‘Steven G. Marks has written the best – and certainly the most compelling – single study of the historical origins of modern capitalism. This terrific book demolishes many hard-held beliefs and ideologies about capitalism, for instance that it is based on control of capital! Marks makes a skilful case that the way we organize and share information is central to the way we behave in politics but also in the economy.’

‘In this well-researched intellectual and institutional history, Schmelzer brings to light the story of how Europe and America in the mid-twentieth century embraced the cult of Gross National Product (GNP), and the role of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in the process. By devising the system by which governments keep economic score, economists and bureaucrats revised the goals of economic policy to emphasize, almost to the point of worship, GNP growth. Schmelzer’s book explains lucidly how economic policy acquired its topmost priority of the past seventy years.’

Aid for Elites Building Partner Nations and Ending Poverty through Human Capital Mark Moyar

This book provides politicians, aid organizations, and taxpayers a compelling argument for fundamentally changing foreign aid. Foreign aid has been ineffective because it has been based upon flawed assumptions about national development. Aid can be made effective by shifting emphasis from poverty alleviation to leadership cultivation and cultural transformation.

‘Mark Moyar has written a compelling critique of the prevailing practices and underlying logic of the development community and its approach to foreign aid. He draws upon an impressive intellectual lineage in his broader arguments about the importance of culture and civilization. He is especially critical of the Annales School of Braudel and its adherents. In doing so, Moyar argues that the predominant emphasis on development itself, including policies and infrastructure, is largely misplaced and that the building of human capital, including training of elites, effective governance, and the provision of a stable security environment, constitutes an essential sine qua non for progress in the developing world.’

History of ideas and intellectual history Three-Text Edition of Thomas Hobbes’s Political Theory The Elements of Law, De Cive and Leviathan Edited by Deborah Baumgold University of Oregon

An exciting English-language edition which for the first time presents Thomas Hobbes’s masterpiece Leviathan alongside two earlier works, The Elements of Law and De Cive. By arranging the three texts side by side, Baumgold offers readers an enhanced understanding of Hobbes’s political theory and addresses an important need within Hobbes scholarship. The parallel presentation highlights substantive connections between the texts and makes it easy to trace the development of Hobbes’s thinking. Readers can follow developments both at the ‘micro’ level of specific arguments and at the ‘macro’ level of the overall scope and organization of the theory. The volume also includes parallel presentations of Hobbes’s chapter outlines, which serve as a key to the texts and are collected in a Précis Appendix.

Historicism and the Human Sciences in Victorian Britain Edited by Mark Bevir

A Historical Theory Christopher McMahon

University of California, Berkeley

University of California, Santa Barbara

This book studies the rise and nature of historicist approaches to life, race, character, language, political economy, and empire. Arguing that Victorians understood life and society as developing historically in a way that made history central to public culture, it will appeal to those interested in Victorian Britain, historiography, and intellectual history.

Christopher McMahon explores reasonableness, fairness, and justice as central concepts of the morality of reciprocal concern, arguing that this form of morality evolves as history unfolds, and therefore requires somewhat different actions and arrangements today than it did in the past. This book will interest scholars of ethics, political theory, and the history of ideas.

The Making of Friedrich Nietzsche The Quest for Identity, 1844–1869 Daniel Blue

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 and scholars of Nietzsche, as well as the interested general reader.

‘It would be difficult to imagine a better account of Nietzsche’s early life.

Blue’s research – exemplary in scope and meticulous in rigor – is matched only by the fluidity of his prose.

This will quickly become a standard resource for Nietzsche scholars.’

The School of Oriental and African Studies Imperial Training and the Expansion of Learning Ian Brown

A history of the School of Oriental and African Studies, which has evolved into a major world centre for academic teaching and scholarly research since its founding in 1916. In this book, Ian Brown surveys the School’s role in Britain’s complex relationships with, and understandings of, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

‘Insightful, empathetic, and wryly amusing, Brown provides a magisterial account of one of the UK’s most idiosyncratic academic institutions. In surveying a century of opportunity and uncertainty, he unfolds a compelling tale of leadership, scholarship, and quirkiness set amidst troubled times, educational upheaval, and a wavering sense of national need.’

The Cambridge Handbook of Western Mysticism and Esotericism Edited by Glenn Alexander Magee Long Island University, New York

Mysticism and esotericism are two intimately related strands of the Western tradition. Despite their close connections, however, scholars tend to treat them separately. Whereas the study of Western mysticism enjoys a long and established history, Western esotericism is a young field. The Cambridge Handbook of Western Mysticism and Esotericism examines both of these traditions together. The volume demonstrates that the roots of esotericism almost always lead back to mystical traditions, while the work of mystics was bound up with esoteric or occult preoccupations.

It also shows why mysticism and esotericism must be examined together if either is to be understood fully.

55

Including contributions by leading scholars, this volume features essays on such topics as alchemy, astrology, magic, Neoplatonism, Kabbalism, Renaissance Hermetism, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, numerology, Christian theosophy, spiritualism, and much more. This handbook serves as both a capstone of contemporary scholarship and a cornerstone of future research.

‘Glenn Alexander Magee has brought together a ‘dream team’ of scholars, and from an impressively broad range of generations, from esteemed senior doyens to emerging young intellectuals about to reshape the conversation once again. Magee also brings his own trademark philosophical clarity to the definitional and historical tasks at hand. The result is a cutting-edge collection of essays that delivers exactly what it promises: a concise and clear map of the hidden intellectual tradition of the West from ancient Greece to today.’

‘The Codex Justinianus, a collection selected in the sixth century AD from thousands of responses to enquiries made by the imperial legal secretariat, is an unrivalled source for the actual lives and concerns of Roman citizens all over the Empire, and the changing policies of their rulers, over half a millennium. A team of ancient historians and academic lawyers has now produced an accurate and comprehensible English translation, based on that made by the late Justice Fred H.

There are several valuable extra features, especially a glossary explaining Latin legal terms, footnotes … explaining the relevant legal rules and procedures … [and] copious provision of cross-references to related passages in the CJ and other major Roman legal writings.

Power and Privilege in Roman Society

Translated by Fred H. Blume

Richard Duncan-Jones

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 H. 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
