Letter from the editor: We are delighted to present a distinguished lineup of important historical scholarship from
Columbia University Press. This past year has been a year of exciting new developments for
the Columbia University Press history program. Three new series editors have taken over the
leadership of the Columbia Studies in International and Global History series from Matthew Connolly and the late Adam McKeown: Cemil Aydin, Timothy Nunan, and Dominic
Sachsenmaier. The series remains a top destination for scholars publishing exciting work in
global history; new releases include Will Hanley’s Identifying with Nationality, Perin E. Gürel’s The Limits of Westernization, and Dominic Sachsenmaier’s Global Entanglements of a Man Who Never Traveled. This year also saw the launch of a new series on U.S.–Asian diplomacy, the Nancy Bernkopf Tucker and Warren I. Cohen Books on American-East Asian Relations. Featuring works of both diplomatic history and political science, the series debuted with
Michael J. Green’s exploration of U.S. grand strategy in the Pacific, By More than Providence, and Jeanne Guillemin’s study of U.S.–Japan postwar tensions in Hidden Atrocities.
Columbia’s acclaimed lists of scholarly works in Asian and Middle East history continue to make their mark. New titles in East Asian history explore the making of the modern state, from the origins of disputes over Tibetan lama succession explored in Max Oidtmann’s
Forging the Golden Urn, to the emergence of a transnational consciousness of sex and gender in
Howard Chiang’s After Eunuchs, to the tale of a Yokohama merchant grappling with modernity in Simon Partner’s The Merchant’s Tale. In Middle East history, our latest offerings uncover a forgotten past and its links to the present. Brinkley Messick’s Shari’a Scripts revisits the
landscape of Islamic legal and ethical texts and their origins; Hossein Kamaly’s God and Man in Tehran analyzes the long tradition of theological influence and philosophical plurality in Iranian history.
In U.S. history, we are excited to announce the publication of American Capitalism: New Histories, a collection of broad-minded and rigorous essays by prominent scholars, edited by Sven Beckert and Christine Desan. This joins Joshua Clark Davis’s From Head Shops to Whole Foods: The
Rise and Fall of Activist Entrepreneurs and Josh Lauer’s Creditworthy: A History of Consumer
Surveillance and Financial Identity in America as new offerings in the vibrant Columbia Studies in the History of U.S. Capitalism series. Other notable new books in U.S. history include The
Ecocentrists: A History of Radical Environmentalism, from Keith Makoto Woodhouse, and Natasha Zaretsky’s, Radiation Nation: Three Mile Island and the Political Transformation of the 1970s, a
cultural history of the worst nuclear reactor accident in U.S. history. And spanning from the
United States to Europe is Democracy and the Welfare State: The wo Wests in the Age of Austerity, edited by Alice Kessler-Harris and Maurizio Vaudagna, which rethinks the history of social democracy in light of the global transformations of the economic order. We hope you enjoy. Sincerely,
Caelyn Cobb, editor for Global, Asian, and Middle East history Bridget Flannery-McCoy, editor for American history

From Head Shops to Whole Foods writes a new history of social movements and capitalism by showing how activists embraced small businesses. Joshua Clark Davis uncovers the historical roots of contemporary interest in ethical consumption, social enterprise, buying local, and mission-driven business, while also showing how today’s companies have adopted the language—but not often the mission—of liberation and social change.
Josh Lauer explores the evolution of credit reporting from its nineteenth-century origins to the rise of the modern consumer data industry. Creditworthy charts how credit reporting grew from an industry that relied on personal knowledge of consumers to one that employs sophisticated algorithms to determine trustworthiness, highlighting the role that commercial surveillance has played in monitoring Americans' economic lives.

From Selma to Moscow
The Ecocentrists
A History of Radical Environmentalism
How Human Rights Activists Transformed U.S. Foreign Policy
Keith Makoto Woodhouse
Sarah B. Snyder
From Selma to Moscow demonstrates the crucial role of transnational connections and social movements in spurring human rights activism in the 1960s and 1970s. Sarah B. Snyder shows how activism transformed U.S. foreign policy, curbing military and economic assistance to repressive governments, creating institutions to monitor human rights around the world, and enshrining human rights in policy making.
Keith Makoto Woodhouse offers a nuanced history of radical environmental thought and action in the late twentieth-century United States. Focusing especially on the group Earth First!, Woodhouse explores how radical environmentalism challenged the material and philosophical basis of industrial civilization but glossed over the ways economic inequality and social difference defined people’s different relationships to the nonhuman world.

A Time to Stir Columbia ’68
Edited by Paul Cronin A TIME TO STIR COLUMBIA ’ 68
On March 28, 1979, the worst nuclear reactor accident in U.S. history occurred at the Three Mile Island power plant. In this innovative study, Natasha Zaretsky uses the near-meltdown to shed new light on the era’s political realignments. The first cultural history of the accident, Radiation Nation uncovers the surprising bodily and ecological dimensions of post-Vietnam conservatism.
For seven days in April 1968, students occupied five buildings on the Columbia University campus. A Time to Stir captures the reflections of those who participated in and witnessed the Columbia rebellion with more than sixty essays that shed light on the politics, passions, and ideals of the 1960s and the complicated legacy of the uprising.

Lust on Trial
Censorship and the Rise of American Obscenity in the Age of Anthony Comstock
From the Industrial Revolution to Globalization
Amy Werbel
Peter Kolozi From the Industrial Revolution to Globalization
Peter Kolozi traces the history of conservative skepticism about the influence of capitalism on politics, culture, and society, considering a wide-ranging set of individuals. By analyzing the unaddressed tensions between capitalism and conservative values, Kolozi shows that figures regarded as iconoclasts belong to a coherent tradition, and he creates a vital new understanding of the American conservative pantheon.
Amy Werbel provides a colorful journey through Anthony Comstock’s career that doubles as a history of post-Civil War America’s risqué visual and sexual culture. Drawing on material culture, courtroom transcripts, and numerous examples of “obscenities,” Lust on Trial provides fresh insights into Comstock, the sexual habits of Americans during his era, and the complicated relationship between law and cultural change.

American Literature and Culture in the 1940s George Hutchinson
GEORGE HUTCHINSON
Thomas Doherty tells the story of the 1947 House Committee on Un-American Activities hearings into alleged communist subversion in the movie industry. Show Trial is a rich, character-driven inquiry into how the HUAC hearings ignited the Hollywood blacklist, providing a gripping new cultural history of one of the most influential events of the postwar era.
George Hutchinson offers readings of individual works and the larger intellectual and cultural scene to reveal the 1940s as a period of profound and influential accomplishment. Facing the Abyss examines the relation of aesthetics to politics; the idea of universalism; and connections across racial, ethnic, and gender divisions, masterfully weaving together a wide range of creative and intellectual expression.

Specters of Slapstick and Silent Film Comediennes
Pentecostals in America Arlene M. Sánchez Walsh
Maggie Hennefeld
Specters of Slapstick and Silent Film Comediennes offers close consideration of hundreds of littleknown silent films. Maggie Hennefeld argues that they provide disturbing but suggestive images for comprehending gendered social upheavals in the early twentieth century and that slapstick comediennes were crucial to the emergence of film language and experimentation with the visual and social potentials of cinema.
Arlene M. Sánchez Walsh provides a thematic overview of Pentecostalism in America, covering Pentecostal faith and practices, gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity, trends and offshoots, and the future of American Pentecostalism. She also places it in context within the larger narrative of American religious history. Pentecostals in America is an essential study of a vibrant religious movement.

Michael J. Green
Identifying with Nationality traces the advent of modern citizenship to multinational, transimperial settings such as turn-of-the-century colonial Alexandria, where ordinary people abandoned old identifiers and grasped nationality as the best means to access the protections promised by expanding states. The result was a system that continues to define and divide people through status, mobility, and residency. $65.00 / £54.95 cloth 978-0-231-17762-7 2017 416 pages 10 illus.
In a history that spans the eighteenth century to the present, Michael J. Green follows the development of U.S. strategic thinking toward East Asia. Green finds one overarching concern: that a rival power might use the Pacific to isolate and threaten the U.S. and prevent the ocean from becoming a conduit for the westward flow of trade and values. $45.00 / £37.95 cloth 978-0-231-18042-9 2017 760 pages 27 illus.

Jeanne Guillemin
Japanese Germ Warfare and American Obstruction of Justice at the Tokyo Trial
Hidden Atrocities reveals the American obstruction that denied justice to Japan’s WWII victims at the postwar Tokyo Trial. Jeanne Guillemin explains how U.S. national security goals led to the failure to prosecute imperial Japanese leaders for the war crimes of Unit 731, Japan’s secret germ-warfare program. Guillemin’s vivid account shows how power politics can jeopardize international justice, with persistent consequences.
Though the “two Wests,” Europe and the United States, differ in crucial respects, they share a common history of social rights. In Democracy and the Welfare State, leading historians and social scientists rethink the history of social democracy and the welfare state in light of global transformations of the economic order and the onslaught of neoliberalism and right-wing populism.

To justify the plundering of today’s Democratic Republic of the Congo, U.S. intellectual elites have continuously produced dismissive Congo discourses.

The Making and Remaking of China's "Red Classics"
The Origin and Development of the Yan'an Rectification Movement, 1930–1945
Politics, Aesthetics, and Mass Culture Edited by Rosemary Roberts and Li Li
Gao Hua
Translated by Stacey Mosher and Guo Jian
Gao Hua explores the origin and consequences of the Yan'an Rectification Movement from 1942 to 1945, arguing that it emancipated the Chinese Communist Party from Soviet influence and unified the party in preparation for victory over the Nationalists. The book shows how Mao Zedong established his leadership over the party, with continuing influence on Chinese political structure today.

Gender, Health, and History in Modern East Asia
Gender, Power, and Talent
The Journey of Daoist Priestesses in Tang China
Edited by Angela Ki Che Leung and Izumi Nakayama
Jinhua Jia
This volume analyzes how scientists, government officials, educators, and the general public in East Asia came to terms with the introduction of Western biological and medical sciences. Demonstrating how concerns about gender and health have been woven into modernization and nation building, the studies show how individuals and societies made sense of scientific discourses on diseases, the body, sex, and reproduction.
Jinhua Jia draws on a wealth of previously untapped sources to explain how Daoist priestesses distinguished themselves as a distinct gendered religious and social group. The first comprehensive study of the lives and roles of Daoist priestesses in Tang China, Gender, Power, and Talent restores women to the landscape of Chinese religion and literature.

Meeting Place
A Medical History of Hong Kong: 1842–1941
Encounters across Cultures in Hong Kong, 1841–1984
Moira M. W. Chan-Yeung
Edited by Elizabeth Sinn and Christopher Munn
Meeting Place presents detailed empirical studies of day-to-day interactions among people of different cultures in a variety of settings throughout Hong Kong. The broad conclusion—that there was sustained and multilevel contact among men and women of different cultures—will challenge and complicate traditional historical understandings of Hong Kong as a city either of rigid segregation or of pervasive integration.
This book explores the development of medical and sanitation services in Hong Kong during the first century of British rule. Moira M. W. Chan-Yeung details how the colonial administration's changing political values and socioeconomic status affected Hong Kong’s policy making. She specifically examines how the bubonic plague of 1894 changed the government’s laissez-faire attitude toward public health.

A Documentary History of Public Health in Hong Kong
The Merchant's Tale
Edited by Yip Ka-che, Wong Man Kong, and Leung Yuen Sang
Simon Partner
Yokohama and the Transformation of Japan
This book chronicles the history of public health in Hong Kong from 1842 to 1980. The editors provide a framework to understand important events, policies, institutions, and advances in technology related to health developments in colonial Hong Kong. Colonial health policies before and after the world wars differed markedly as postwar conditions offered new challenges and opportunities.
In a narrative history rich in colorful detail, Simon Partner uses the story of an ordinary merchant farmer in a Yokohama setting as a vantage point onto sweeping social transformation and its unwitting agents. Partner’s history of a vibrant meeting place humanizes the story of Japan’s revolutionary 1860s and their profound consequences for Japanese society and culture.

No Place for Russia
An Economic History of Europe Since 1700
European Security Institutions Since 1989
Vera Zamagni
William H. Hill
William H. Hill traces the development of the post–Cold War European security order to explain today’s tensions, showing how attempts to include Russia were overshadowed by the domination of NATO and the EU. Closing with Russia’s annexation of Crimea and war in Ukraine, No Place for Russia argues that the post–Cold War order in Europe has been irrevocably shattered.
Vera Zamagni provides a new economic history of Europe from the birth of industrialization through to the financial crisis of 2007–2008 and its aftermath. The remarkable story of European economic growth is set within the wider context of world economic progress and alongside developments in Asia, Eastern Europe, and the United States to provide an up-to-date survey.

Handbook of Direct Democracy in Central and Eastern Europe after 1989
A Disastrous Matter
The Polish Question in the Russian Political Thought and Discourse of the Great Reform Age, 1856-1866
Edited by Maria Marczewska-Rytko
Henryk Glębocki
This book collects twenty political analyses of direct democracy in twenty central and eastern European countries after 1989. Through a comparative, holistic, and interdisciplinary political analysis, it diagnoses the state of democratic processes and the institutions of direct democracy. The case studies emphasize the significant role of the accession process to the European Union.
Henryk Glębocki offers a new analysis of the Polish-Russian conflict in imperial Russia. He considers interactions between Russian public opinion and Russian imperial policy, and explores the impact the Polish conflict had on Russian political ideas. Glębocki investigates these ideas and the Polish national movement, as well as the effect of the Polish question on their evolution.

Lucien Bianco
Translated by Krystyna Horko

Jacob Moleschott —A Transnational Biography
The Duplicity of Philosophy's Shadow Heidegger, Nazism, and the Jewish Other
Science, Politics, and Popularization in Nineteenth-Century Europe
Elliot R. Wolfson
Laura Meneghello
This is the first academic biography of the scientist and politician Jacob Moleschott (1822-1893). Laura Meneghello focuses on processes of knowledge circulation, transnational mobility, and the role of translation in nineteenth-century science, shedding new light on the history of materialism in the natural sciences and the deep entanglement of science, politics, and popularization in nineteenth-century Europe.
Elliot R. Wolfson intervenes in the debate over Martin Heidegger and Nazism from a unique perspective, as a scholar of Jewish mysticism and philosophy who has been profoundly influenced by Heidegger’s work. He reveals crucial aspects of Heidegger’s thinking—including criticism of the biological racism and militant apocalypticism of Nazism—that betray an affinity with dimensions of Jewish thought.

Contending Visions of the Divine from the Qajars to the Islamic Republic Hossein Kamaly
Shari’a Scripts is a work of historical anthropology focused on Yemen in the early twentieth century. In a groundbreaking examination of the interpretative range and historical insights offered by the anthropologist as reader, Brinkley Messick uses the richly varied writings of the Yemeni past to offer a uniquely comprehensive view of the Shari’a as a localized and lived phenomenon.
God and Man in Tehran explores the historical processes that have made and unmade contending visions of God in Iran’s capital throughout the past two hundred years. Hossein Kamaly examines how notions of the divine have been mobilized, contested, and transformed, emphasizing the role played by divergent conceptualizations of nature, reason, law, morality, and authority.

A classic of medieval studies, The Resurrection of the Body in Western Christianity, 200–1336 traces ideas of death and resurrection in early and medieval Christianity. Caroline Walker Bynum explores problems of the body and identity in devotional and theological literature, suggesting that medieval attitudes toward the body still shape modern notions of the individual.
This book focuses on the figure of Charos, widespread throughout the Hellenic world, including Cyprus and the Pontus region, and the folk mythology of modern Greece. Michal Bzinkowski analyzes Greek demotic songs, especially mirologia (dirges) and the songs of the Underworld and Charos, as well as an Acritic cycle of alleged Byzantine origin.

Constructions of Cultural Identities in Newsreel Cinema and Television after 1945
From Da Ponte to the Casa Italiana A Brief History of Italian Studies at Columbia University
Edited by Kornelia Imesch, Sigrid Schade, and Samuel Sieber
Barbara Faedda
Newsreel cinema and television served as an important tool for shaping the political sphere and the construction of national identities into the 1960s. This book considers newsreel as a medium for the formation of cultural identities in a variety of national contexts. Contributors consider newsreel’s role in forming audiovisual narratives, as well as the technical, aesthetic, and political challenges of archiving and restaging newsreel.
The Casa Italiana has been the most important expression of the Italian presence on Columbia University’s campus since construction in 1927. Celebrating the Casa’s ninetieth anniversary, From Da Ponte to the Casa Italiana documents and recounts the history of the individuals, both Italian and American, who contributed to the formation of Columbia University’s rich tradition of Italian studies.
