Letter from the Editors: We are pleased to present the 2021 history catalogue from Columbia University Press. We have a slate of new books that unearth the origins of our global crises in capitalism, the international order, and conflicts over race and gender. In global history, a slate of 2021 releases approach the history of the modern world from new perspectives. In Unsettling Utopia: The Making and Unmaking of French India, Jessica Namakkal explores France’s colonial past in India and its decolonial afterlife in the Auroville Ashram. Henry Nielsen and Kristian H. Nielsen’s Camp Century: The Untold Story of America's Secret Arctic Military Base Under the Greenland Ice looks from the Danish point of view at a forgotten American Cold War outpost, now poised to re-enter the diplomatic conversation as global warming potentially makes the Arctic a viable region for defense and trade. Lastly, Transtopia in the Sinophone Pacific, by Howard Chiang, examines the transgender experience in China’s sphere of influence, proposing a variegated continuum for understanding transness in history. This year, our U.S. history list has several new books on the history of capitalism, and especially racial capitalism. Although Cedric J. Robinson popularized the term, racial capitalism has remained undertheorized for nearly four decades. In Histories of Racial Capitalism, the editors Destin Jenkins and Justin Leroy bring together for the first time distinguished and rising scholars to consider the utility of this concept at the intersection of race and capitalism. Contributors argue that racial capitalism is not simply a stage in the larger history of capitalism, but rather it has been with us since the beginning. All the way back to the Atlantic slave trade and the colonization of the Americas, capitalism has been racial, finding social and economic value through racial classification and stratification. Other books speak to this as well, like How the Suburbs Were Segregated: Developers and the Business of Exclusionary Housing, 1890–1960, in which Paige Glotzer excavates the deepest roots of the American suburb, looking at the global financial networks and exclusionary housing policies that made and kept the suburbs white. In Brain Magnet, Alex Sayf Cummings explores the mid-twentieth-century boosterism that made North Carolina's Research Triangle Park into America’s first knowledge economy. This year we also debut the long-awaited second volume of Jeff Perry’s magisterial biography of Hubert Harrison, the turn-of-the-century writer, orator, educator, critic, and political activist who, more than any other political leader of his era, combined class consciousness and anti-white-supremacist race consciousness into a coherent political radicalism. Sincerely, Caelyn Cobb, editor for global history Stephen Wesley, editor for U.S. history

Developers and the Business of Exclusionary Housing, 1890–1960
Alex Sayf Cummings
Paige Glotzer
Alex Sayf Cummings reveals the significance of North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park to the emergence of the high-tech economy in a postindustrial United States. Brain Magnet pinpoints how Research Triangle Park sheds new light on the origins of today’s urban landscape, in which innovation is lauded as the engine of economic growth against a backdrop of inequality.
Focusing on Baltimore’s wealthiest, whitest neighborhoods, Paige Glotzer offers a new understanding of the deeper roots of suburban segregation. She argues that mid-twentiethcentury policies that favored exclusionary housing were the culmination of a long-term effort by developers to use racism to structure suburban real estate markets.

Republican-Era Martial Arts Fiction
Na Man’gap
John Christopher Hamm
Translated and with an introduction by George Kallander
Xiang Kairan, who wrote under the pen name “The Unworthy Scholar from Pingjiang,” is remembered as the father of modern Chinese martial arts fiction. In this book, John Christopher Hamm shows how Xiang Kairan’s work and career offer a new lens on the transformations of fiction and popular culture in early twentieth-century China.
After a Chosŏn faction realigned Korea with the Ming dynasty, the Manchu attacked in 1627 and again a decade later, forcing Korea to support the newly founded Qing dynasty. The Korean scholar-official Na Man’gap (1592–1642) recorded the second Manchu invasion in the only firstperson account chronicling the dramatic Korean resistance.

Dominique Townsend
Yan Sun
Founded in 1676, Mindröling Monastery became a key site for Buddhist education and a Tibetan civilizational center. Dominique Townsend investigates the ritual, artistic, and cultural practices inculcated at Mindröling to demonstrate how early modern Tibetans integrated Buddhist and worldly activities through training in aesthetics.
Many Worlds Under One Heaven analyzes a wide range of newly excavated materials to offer a new perspective on political and cultural change under the Western Zhou. Examining tombs, bronze inscriptions, and other artifacts, Yan Sun challenges the Zhou-centered view with a frontier-focused perspective that highlights the roles of multiple actors.

Biographies praising Mao and those slandering him are all based on the American journalist Edgar Snow’s account in How the “Red Star”Rose for the route Mao traveled from early childhood through his youth.

Through investigation of Chinese cultural ideals and life practices, Cho-yun Hsu constructs an original portrait of Chinese spiritual life. Apart from focusing on the exalted subtleties of the scholarly elite, he pays more attention to everyday people’s cultural ideas.

Unraveling these histories and many other disputes, Gayle Rogers argues that what has always been at stake in arguments over speculation-and why it so often appears so threatening-is the authority to produce and control knowledge about the future. $30.00 /£25.00 paper 978-0-231-20021-9 $120.00 / £100.00 cloth 978-0-231-20020-2
Risk, Choice, and Uncertainty offers a new narrative of the three-century history of the study of decision-making, tracing how crucial ideas have evolved and telling the stories of the thinkers who shaped the field. George G. Szpiro examines economics from theories of optimal decision-making to behavioral science. $32.00 / £28.00 cloth 978-0-231-19474-7 2020 264 pages 20 illus.

GENDER AND SEXUALITY
The Shape of Sex
Transtopia in the Sinophone Pacific
Nonbinary Gender from Genesis to the Renaissance
Howard Chiang
Leah DeVun
The Shape of Sex is a pathbreaking history of “hermaphrodites”—as individuals who allegedly combined or crossed sex or gender binaries were called—from 200–1400 C.E. Ranging widely across premodern European thought and culture, Leah DeVun reveals how and why efforts to define “the human” so often hinged on ideas about hermaphrodites. $35.00 / £30.00 paper 978-0-231-19551-5

Meals Matter
Translocations
Michael Symons
Edited by Bénédicte Savoy, Felicity Bodenstein, and Merten Lagatz
Histories of Dislocated Cultural Assets
A Radical Economics Through Gastronomy
In Meals Matter, Michael Symons returns economics to its roots in the distribution of food and the labor required by offering a gastronomic rebuttal to the narrow worldview of mainstream economics. An innovative, historically based argument at the intersection of food history and social thought, Meals Matter challenges us to reject the economics of greed in favor of a community-based economics of sharing and gastronomic enjoyment.
Discussions about historical appropriation practices for cultural assets in the context of their associated relocation are highly topical and widely reflected across different academic disciplines.

History in Games Contingencies of an Authentic Past
Passing and Posing between Black and White
Lisa Gotto
Calibrating the Color Line in U.S. Cinema
Edited by Martin Lorber and Felix Zimmermann
Claims of authenticity are prominent in discussions surrounding digital games. What is historical authenticity and does it even matter? When does authenticity or the lack thereof become political? By answering these questions, this book illuminates the ubiquitous category of authenticity from the perspective of historical game studies.
Since its inception, American cinema has grappled with the articulation of racial boundaries. Lisa Gotto examines this constellation along the early history of American film, the cinematic modernism of the late 1950s, and the postclassical cinema of the turn of the millennium.

Alan Brinkley
The Vesels
A Life in History
The Fate of a Czechoslovak Family in TwentiethCentury Central Europe (1918–1989)
Edited by David Greenberg, Moshik Temkin, and Mason B. Williams
Josette Baer
This book brings together essays on Alan Brinkley,s major works and ideas as well as personal reminiscences from leading historians and thinkers beyond the academy. They chronicle the life and thought of a working historian, the development of historical scholarship in our time, and the role that history plays in public life.
The Vesels deals with the Slovak National Uprising that was launched on August 29, 1944 in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia. In the West, the uprising is an under-researched topic in the history of World War II. The Slovak state was an ally of Nazi Germany, but the uprising proved that the population did not share the regime’s ideology.
