HISTORY 2020
New and Forthcoming Titles
COLUMBIA UNIV ER SI T Y P R ESS C U P. C O L U M B I A . E D U
Letter from the Editors: We are delighted to present the 2020 Columbia University Press history catalog. The titles featured here demonstrate the vibrancy of Columbia University Press’s list as we continue a long tradition of publishing top scholarship, ranging from the history of U.S. capitalism to global and international history. Columbia’s American history list has two cornerstones: the history of U.S. foreign relations and the history of U.S. capitalism. In the Columbia Studies of the History of U.S. Capitalism series, we are pleased to announce two new books that will publish in the spring of 2020. Alex Sayf Cummings’s Brain Magnet: Research Triangle Park and the Idea of the Idea Economy studies the midcentury boosterism that created North Carolina’s famed Research Triangle Park and the first blueprints for the postindustrial knowledge economy. Paige Glotzer’s How the Suburbs Were Segregated: Developers and the Business of Exclusionary Housing, 1890–1960 examines the development of Baltimore’s wealthiest, whitest neighborhoods in the late nineteenth century and the deep roots of suburban segregation. In the history of American foreign relations, we have several new books that explore security, diplomacy, and soft power. In Oil Powers: A History of the U.S.-Saudi Alliance, Victor McFarland takes a critical look at the roots of the U.S.-Saudi alliance as not just an inevitable consequence of American energy demand and Saudi oil reserves but also as a dense political, economic, and social network bolstered by royal and executive power. In Whistleblowing Nation: The History of National Security Disclosures and the Cult of State Secrecy, Kaeten Mistry and Hannah Gurman cut a pathbreaking history of national security disclosures and state secrecy from World War I to the present, analyzing the complex politics, motives, and ideologies behind the revelation of state secrets that challenge the status quo. Thomas Borstelmann’s Just Like Us: The American Struggle to Understand Foreigners powerfully depicts the good and the bad in how Americans have seen others at home and abroad through the nation’s history. New global and international histories, like Mona L. Siegel’s Peace on Our Terms: The Global Battle for Women’s Rights After the First World War, bring forward unheard and underrepresented voices. In our Columbia Studies in International and Global History series, Raja Adal’s Beauty in the Age of Empire: Japan, Egypt, and the Global History of Aesthetic Education examines how globalizing forms of art and cultural education became a force for state-building and nationalism, and Michael Christopher Low’s Imperial Mecca: Ottoman Arabia and the Indian Ocean Hajj studies the contested nature of pilgrimage to the holy city during an age of modernization. M’hamed Oualdi’s A Slave Between Empires looks at the way individuals moved between modern imperial regimes as they rose and fell. These stories, both local and global, complement a wide array of regional histories from around the world—from a tale of the resistance in World War II-era Western Europe to a new account of China’s Republican-era policy toward Tibet— that Columbia is proud to publish in the coming year. We hope you share our enthusiasm for these books and the course they mark for the future of our list.

To the End of Revolution
Vernacular Industrialism in China
The Chinese Communist Party and Tibet, 1949-1959
Local Innovation and Translated Technologies in the Making of a Cosmetics Empire, 1900–1940
Xiaoyuan Liu
Eugenia Lean
The status of Tibet is one of the most controversial and complex issues in the history of modern China. In To the End of Revolution, Xiaoyuan Liu draws on unprecedented access to the archives of the Chinese Communist Party to offer a groundbreaking account of Beijing’s evolving Tibet policy during the critical first decade of the People’s Republic.
By examining the manufacturing, commercial, and cultural activities of the maverick industrialist Chen Diexian (1879–1940), Eugenia Lean illustrates how lettered men of earlytwentieth-century China engaged in “vernacular industrialism,” the pursuit of industry and science outside of conventional venues.

Records of the 1827 Osaka Incident
Na Man’gap
Translated and with an introduction by Fumiko Miyazaki, Kate Wildman Nakai, and Mark Teeuwen
Translated and with an introduction by George Kallander
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.
In 1829, six people were paraded through Osaka and crucified as devotees of the “pernicious creed” of Christianity. Christian Sorcerers on Trial offers annotated translations of a range of sources on this sensational event. It provides students and scholars alike with an extraordinarily rich picture of late Edo society.

The volume presents a collection of texts describing research into the Sektion Rassenund-Volsktumsforschung of the Institut für Deutsche Ostarbeit (IDO)—a Nazi-led institution established in occupied Poland during World War II. The research was carried out by anthropologists together with historians, sociologists, and physical anthropologists.

Intellectuals and World War I
"Malleable at the European Will"
Edited by Tomasz Pudłocki and Kamil Ruszała
Helmut Meier
British Discourse on Slavery (1784–1824) and the Image of Africans
A Central European Perspective
This volume considers intellectuals within the social history of World War I. It offers a reflection on intellectuals’ stance toward militarism and the outbreak of war. It examines their reactions, thoughts, and predictions and the ways in which they interpreted the meaning of the war, as well as how they saw the possibilities of the postwar era.
Helmut Meier analyzes the image of Africans in pro- and anti-slavery texts from the British debate on the slave trade. He argues that by portraying African slaves as suffering wretches, anti-slavery texts created colonial others, who could subsequently become the objects of a discourse of colonial reform and “betterment.”

Vice, Crime, and Poverty traces the untold history of the concept of the underworld and its representations in popular culture. From the Parisian demimonde to Victorian squalor, from the slums of New York to the sewers of Buenos Aires, Dominique Kalifa deciphers the making of an image that has cast an enduring spell on its audience.
Drawing on his own experience, rich archival material, and a keen sense of history and politics, Mikhail Gorbachev speaks his mind on a range of subjects concerning Russia's past, present, and future place in the world. Here is Gorbachev on the October Revolution, the Cold War, and key figures such as Lenin, Stalin, and Yeltsin.

How the Suburbs Were Segregated
Brain Magnet
Research Triangle Park and the Idea of the Idea Economy
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 it 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.

Transformation and Reorganization of Italian Cities and Their Architecture in the Interwar Period Edited by Carmen M. Enss and Luigi Monzo
Rem Koolhaas, Denise Scott Brown, and Yoshiharu Tsukamoto, in conversation with Enrique Walker
Organized around conversations with the authors of three seminal texts that document the city—Rem Koolhaas on Delirious New York, Denise Scott Brown on Learning from Las Vegas, and Yoshiharu Tsukamoto on Made in Tokyo—this volume traces the history of “books on cities.”
How did urban Italy come to look the way it does today? This collection assembles recent studies in architectural history and theory exploring the historical paradigms guiding architecture and landscape design in between the world wars.

Art of Memories
Nostalgia for the Future
Curating at the Hermitage
Modernism and Heterogeneity in the Visual Arts of Nazi Germany
Vincent Antonin Lépinay
Gregory Maertz
In Art of Memories, Vincent Antonin Lépinay documents the Hermitage’s curatorial practices in an innovative consideration of the museum as a cultural laboratory. Lépinay analyzes the tensions between the museum as a space of exploration of the collections and as a culture heavily invested in self-protection from the outside world.
Demonizing modernist art as a symptom of the corruption of German culture was a standard trope in National Socialist propaganda. Gregory Maertz’s pioneering research unearths the persistence of recognizable modernist styles in painting and sculpture produced under the patronage of the Nazi Party, even after the purge of “degenerate art.”

The Hidden Environmental Costs of the Movies
Ariel Rogers
Hunter Vaughan
Hunter Vaughan offers a new history of the movies from an environmental perspective, arguing that how we make and consume films has serious ecological consequences. He examines the environmental effects of filmmaking from Hollywood classics to the digital era, considering how screen media shapes and reflects our understanding of the natural world.
Ariel Rogers rethinks the history of moving images by exploring how experiments with screen technologies in and around the 1930s changed the way films were produced, exhibited, and experienced. She challenges conventional narratives about the novelty of the twenty-firstcentury multiscreen environment.
