BIKO

PAPERBACK ORIGINAL

A Life XOLELA MANGCU WITH A FOREWORD BY NELSON MANDELA First full-life biography of this iconic figure in South African history Steve Biko was an exceptional and inspirational leader, a pivotal figure in South African history. As a leading anti-apartheid activist and thinker, Biko created the Black Consciousness Movement, the grassroots organisation which would mobilise a large proportion of the black urban population. His death in policy custody at the age of just 30 robbed South Africa of one of its most gifted leaders. Although the rudimentary facts of his life – and death – are well known, there has until now been no in-depth book on this major political figure and the impact of his life and tragic death. Xolela Mangcu, who knew Biko, provides the first in-depth look at the life of one of the most iconic figures of the anti-apartheid movement, whose legacy is still strongly felt today, both in South Africa, and worldwide in the global struggle for civil rights, today.

THE UNKNOWN DAVID LLOYD GEORGE

NEW

A Statesman in Conflict TRAVIS L. CROSBY A major new portrait of this dynamic yet controversial wartime leader David Lloyd George is widely regarded as one of the most effective British prime ministers of the twentieth century.

A dynamic speaker and committed social reformer, he led Britain successfully through the devastation of World War I and had a powerful impact on international politics. In the post-war peace treaties, he sought a just, rather than a vengeful, settlement for the defeated powers in an attempt to preserve a peaceful international order. Whilst Lloyd George’s achievements were undoubtedly substantial, his political record was not entirely without blemish and, in his personal life, he was a fascinating and complex character. Renowned as a womaniser, after 1913 he retained two separate households – one with his wife and one with his mistress, his former private secretary. Based on extensive research, Travis L. Crosby provides a fresh appraisal of the life of one of Britain’s most conflicted politicians.

THE THIRD REICH

NEW

On the Rise and Fall of Nazi Germany HUGH TREVOR-ROPER, EDITED BY GINA THOMAS A penetrating study of Nazi Germany from this most brilliant of historians Throughout his life Hugh Trevor-Roper sought to understand the forces that had allowed Nazism to emerge in German society. He was constantly in search of answers to his most pressing question: how was it possible that a regime so violent and barbarous, without effective opposition, emerged in a society which had seemed a stable and highly civilised European country? This book represents the most important and most compelling aspects of Trevor-Roper’s work on the Third Reich – much of which is previously unpublished.

Together, it demonstrates the force, coherence and durability of his underlying convictions and arguments, combining vivid reporting and the recreation of contemporary experience with a long-term perspective on the Nazi phenomenon.

June 2013 336 pages 234 x 156mm Hardback £25.00 9781780761633 18 in 8pp b&w plates I.B.Tauris

Hugh Trevor-Roper was perhaps the most brilliant historian of his generation. An expert in the history of both early modern Britain and Nazi Germany, he was Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford University and latterly Master of Peterhouse, Cambridge. During World War II, Trevor-Roper served in the Secret Intelligence Service and in 1945 he undertook detailed enquiries into the circumstances of Hitler’s death under commission from the SIS. It was these investigations that formed the basis for his most best-known book: The Last Days of Hitler.

Gina Thomas is a journalist and historian. She is the UK cultural correspondent for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

A SPY IN THE ARCHIVES

NEW

A Memoir of Cold War Russia SHEILA FITZPATRICK A unique insight into Cold War Moscow Moscow in the 1960s was the other side of the Iron Curtain: mysterious, exotic, even dangerous. In 1966 the historian Sheila Fitzpatrick travelled to Moscow to research in the Soviet archives. This was the era of Brezhnev, of a possible ‘thaw’ in the Cold War, when the Soviets couldn’t decide either to thaw out properly or re-freeze. Moscow, the world capital of socialism, was renowned for its drabness. The buses were overcrowded; there were endemic shortages and endless queues. This was also the age of regular spying scandals and tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions and it was no surprise that visiting students were subject to intense scrutiny by the KGB. Many of Fitzpatrick’s friends were involved in espionage activities – and indeed others were accused of being spies or kept under close surveillance. In this book, Sheila Fitzpatrick provides a unique insight into everyday life in Soviet Moscow. Full of drama and colourful characters, her remarkable memoir highlights the dangers and drudgery faced by Westerners living under communism.

GLOBAL CORRUPTION

NEW IN PAPERBACK

Money, Power and Ethics in the Modern World LAURENCE COCKCROFT What are the drivers of corruption and can its influence be reduced?

Corruption has played a pivotal role in determining the current state of the world – from mass poverty in developing countries, to the destruction of natural resources and the erosion of trust in political parties. Laurence Cockcroft here argues that corruption has to be seen as the result of the interplay between elite ‘embedded networks’, greed and organised crime. He shows how the growth of corruption has been facilitated by globalisation, the integration of new and expanding markets into the world economy and by the rapid expansion of ‘offshore’ financial facilities. By identifying the main drivers of corruption worldwide and analysing the current action to control them, this book suggests ways in which the problems caused by corruption can be addressed and ultimately prevented.

THE HERO OF BUDAPEST

NEW

The Triumph and Tragedy of Raoul Wallenberg BENGT JANGFELDT What really happened to the man who saved so many Jewish lives The story of Raoul Wallenberg – who, at immense personal risk, rescued many of Budapest’s Jews from the Holocaust – is one of the most remarkable of World War II. Yet the complete account of his life and fate can only be told now – and for the first time in this book – following access to the Russian archives, previously unavailable. Wallenberg was a Swedish businessman, recruited by the War Refugee Board to rescue thousands of Hungarian Jews. Once in Budapest, he created and distributed so called ‘protection passports’ among the Jewish population, thus managing to save up to 7,000 people. Through the ‘safe houses’ and clandestine networks that he established around the city, many thousands more were saved from the concentration camps. Yet, when Budapest was liberated by the Red Army in January 1945, Wallenberg was arrested, taken to Moscow and disappeared into the Soviet prison system. Using previously unseen sources, Jangfeldt has been able to reconstruct the events surrounding Wallenberg’s arrest almost hour by hour and, for the first time, he presents evidence of why Wallenberg was arrested and what happened to him after he disappeared.

THE DARK HEART OF HITLER’S EUROPE

NEW

Nazi Rule in Poland under the General Government MARTIN WINSTONE A revealing look at the darkest and most deadly phase of Hitler’s empire After the German and Soviet attack on Poland in 1939, vast swathes of Polish territory, including Warsaw and Kraków, fell under Nazi occupation in an administration which became known as the ‘General Government’. The region was not directly incorporated into the Reich but was ruled by a German regime, headed by the brutal and corrupt Governor General Hans Frank. This was indeed the dark heart of Hitler’s empire.

As the principal ‘racial laboratory’ of the Third Reich, it was the site of Aktion Reinhard, the largest killing operation of the Holocaust, and of a campaign of terror and ethnic cleansing against Poles which was intended to be a template for the rest of Eastern Europe. This book provides a thorough history of the General Government and the experiences of the Poles, Jews and others trapped in its clutches. Employing previously underused sources, Martin Winstone provides a unique insight into the occupation regime which dominated much of Poland during World War II.

THE EARLY GRAND TOURS

NEW

Jacobean Adventurers in Continental Europe EDWARD CHANEY AND TIMOTHY WILKS The early beginnings of this traditional journey designed to enlighten the young elite of England Although the eighteenth century is traditionally seen as the age of the Grand Tour, it was in fact the continental travel of Jacobean noblemen which really constituted the beginning of the Tour as an institutionalised phenomenon. James I’s peace treaty with Spain in 1604 rendered travel to Catholic Europe both safer and more respectable than it had been under the Tudors and opened up the continent to a new generation of aristocratic explorers, enquirers and adventurers. This book examines the political and cultural significance of the encounters that resulted, focusing in particular on two of England’s greatest, and newly united, families: the Cecils and the Howards. It also considers the ways in which Protestants and Catholics experienced the aesthetic and intellectual stimulus of European travel and how the cultural experiences of the travellers formed the essential ingredients in what became the Grand Tour.

ORIGINAL SPIN

NEW

Downing Street and the Press in Victorian Britain PAUL BRIGHTON Examines the unknown early relationship between politics and the press Secret lunches, off-the-record briefings, the leaking of confidential information and tightly organised media launches – the well-known world of modern political spin.

But is this really a new phenomenon or have politicians been manipulating the press for as long as newspapers have existed? In this important new book, Paul Brighton shows that spin is not something dreamed up by modern, media-savvy politicians. In fact, it was one of the best-kept political secrets of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. From Peel and Palmerston to Gladstone and Disraeli, prime ministers have all tried to manipulate the press to a greater or lesser extent.

Brighton uncovers the covert contacts between Westminster and Fleet Street and reveals how the Victorian occupants of 10 Downing Street secretly conveyed their viewpoints via the newspapers. For the first time, Original Spin tells the whole, unvarnished story.

Fanny Burney and Adèle, Comtesse de Boigne BRIAN UNWIN Unique personal perspective on France and Britain in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries Fanny Burney and Adèle, Comtesse de Boigne, were two of the most remarkable female writers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries: one a famous novelist, the other an aristocrat from one of France’s most influential families. This was the tumultuous period which saw the French Revolution and Napoleonic years in France and in England the ‘madness’ of George III and the elegant years of his son the Prince Regent. Both women used memoirs and diaries to document their lives in the upper echelons of society in London and Paris, commenting with scintillating wit and waspish observation on their encounters with many of the great figures of the day, including Napoleon, Wellington, Talleyrand, Madame de Staël, Dr Johnson, the British Royal Family and members of the French Royal Family in exile, also in England. Through the observations of these immensely well-connected and brilliant writers, Brian Unwin provides an extraordinarily original insight into the principal events and characters of one of the most seminal and turbulent periods of modern European history.

WIM WENDERS AND MARY ZOURNAZI

Provocative insight into the contemporary world from a distinguished filmmaker and writer Inventing Peace revolves around the question of how we look at the world, but do not see it when there is so much war, injustice, suffering and violence. What are the ethical and moral consequences of looking, but not seeing, and, most of all, what has become of the notion of peace in all this? In the form of a written dialogue, Wim Wenders and Mary Zournazi consider this question as one of the fundamental issues of our times as well as the need to reinvent a visual and moral language for peace.

August 2013 224 pages 216 x 134mm Paperback ÂŁ14.99 9781780766935 9 colour, 9 b&w I.B.Tauris

Inspired by various cinematic, philosophical, literary and artistic examples, Wenders and Zournazi reflect on the need for a change of perception in the everyday as well as in the creation of images. In its unique style and method, Inventing Peace demonstrates an approach to peace through sacred, ethical and spiritual means, to provide an alternative to the inhumanity of war and violence. Their book might help to make peace visible and tangible in new and unforeseen ways.

WHO IS WHO?

The Philosophy of Doctor Who KEVIN S. DECKER The Doctor’s philosophy of life, the universe and everything

celebrating the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who!

When you have been wandering the cosmos from one end of eternity to another for nearly a 1,000 years, where are you, philosophically speaking? Are you an ethical being?

Doctor Who is 50 years old in 2013. Through its long life on television and beyond it has inspired much debate due to the richness and complexity of the metaphysical and moral issues that it poses. This is the first in-depth philosophical investigation of Doctor Who in popular culture. From 1963’s An Unearthly Child through the latest series, it considers continuity and change in the pictures that the programme paints of the nature of truth and knowledge, science and religion, space and time, good and evil, including the uncanny, the problem of evil, the Doctor’s complex ethical motivations, questions of persisting personal identity in the Time Lord processes of regeneration, the nature of time travel through ‘wibbley-wobbley, timey-wimey’ stuff, how quantum theory affects our understanding of time and the nature of the mysterious and irrational in the Doctor’s universe.

PASSAGE TO AMERICA

NEW

Celebrated European Visitors in Search of the American Adventure GLORIA DEAK A revealing social and cultural history of nineteenth century America through the prism of European eyes America was a source of fascination to Europeans arriving there during the course of the nineteenth century. At first glance, the New World was very similar to the societies they left behind in their native countries, but in many aspects of politics, culture and society, the American experience was vastly different - almost unrecognisably so – from Old World Europe. Europeans were astounded that America could survive without a monarch, a standing army and the hierarchical society which still dominated Europe. Many prominent visitors to the United States recorded their responses to this emerging society in their diaries, letters and journals. They provide an insight into an America which is barely recognisable today whilst their writings set down a diverse and lively assortment of personal travel accounts.

This book compares the impressions of a group of discerning and prominent Europeans from the cultural sphere – from the writers Charles Dickens, William Makepeace Thackeray and Oscar Wilde to luminaries of music and ballet such as Tchaikovsky and Nijinsky. Their reactions to the New World are as revealing of the European and American worlds as they are colourful and varied, providing a unique insight into the experiences of nineteenth century travellers to America.

I.B.TAURIS SHORT HISTORIES I.B.Tauris Short Histories is an authoritatively written and elegantly presented new series which puts a fresh perspective on the way history is taught and understood in the twenty-first century. Designed to have strong appeal to university students and their teachers, as well as to general readers and history enthusiasts, I.B.Tauris Short Histories aims to bring informed interpretation, as well as factual reportage, to historical debate. Addressing key subjects and topics in the fields of history, the history of ideas, religion, classical studies, politics, philosophy and Middle East studies, the series seeks intentionally to move beyond the bland, neutral ‘introduction’ that so often serves as the primary undergraduate teaching tool. Addressing a variety of subjects in a greater degree of depth than is often found in comparable series, yet at the same time in concise and compact handbook form, I.B.Tauris Short Histories aims to be ‘introductions with an edge’.

‘Really stimulating: many of the published or planned works treat just the topics that I myself would be glad to read.’ – Dexter Hoyos, Associate Professor of Classics and Ancient History, University of Sydney ‘An attractive idea – the series looks great.’ – Tim Blanning, Professor of History, University of Cambridge ‘An exciting and stimulating idea.’ – Charlotte Roueché, Professor of Classical and Byzantine Greek, King’s College London ‘Extremely exciting – beautifully designed intellectually.’ – Helen Castor, Fellow in History, Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge ‘Sure to be a great series.’ – Alain de Botton

MUSLIM SPAIN

PAPERBACK ORIGINAL

ALEX J. NOVIKOFF

Offers a full and comprehensive introduction to this fascinating period in Spanish history The ‘golden age’ of Muslim Spain represents one of the most dazzling periods in European history: in its architecture, philosophy, literature, poetry and urbanism. From the middle of the eighth century to the completion of the Reconquista in 1492, the three great Abrahamic faiths – Judaism, Christianity and Islam – shared towns and ports, market places and public spaces throughout the Iberian peninsula. For much of this period, the territory of modern-day Spain was dominated by the Muslim rulers of the Province of Al-Andalus, particularly the Emirate and then Caliphate of Córdoba, when the city of Córdoba became the most culturally creative and most prosperous cosmopolitan centre in Europe. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of this co-existence was the unique intermingling of three civilizations in one. Some have even viewed multicultural Muslim Spain as a lost and tolerant arcadia. Popular interest in the period has grown also, fuelled in part by the tensions of the modern world, where many people anxiously mull the future of interfaith relations.

Despite a surge of interest, until now there has been no adequate up-to-date introductory history of the full diversity of this fascinating period, or of the Islamic inheritance that infuses the culture and landscape of modern Spain.

THE BYZANTINE EMPIRE

PAPERBACK ORIGINAL

DIONYSIOS STATHAKOPOULOS A comprehensive look at this powerful economic, cultural and military force The Byzantine Empire was one of the most impressive imperial adventures in history. It ruled much of Europe and Asia Minor for a remarkable 1,100 years. From Constantine’s establishment of Byzantium (renamed Constantinople) as his capital in 324 CE, until the fall of the city to the Ottomans in the fifteenth century, the Byzantines became a powerhouse of literature, art, theology, medicine, law and learning. Dionysios Stathakopoulos here tells a compelling story of military conquest, alliance and reversal, including the terrifying secret weapon of ‘Greek fire’. His new short history is above all a narrative of individuals: of powerful rulers like Justinian I, who recovered Italy from the Vandals and oversaw construction of Hagia Sofia (completed in 537); of his notorious queen Theodora, a courtesan who rose improbably to the highest office of imperial first lady; of the charismatic but cuckolded general Belisarius; and of the religious leaders Arius and Athanasius, whose conflicting ideas about Christ and doctrine shook the Empire to its core.

THE CELTS

PAPERBACK ORIGINAL

ALEX WOOLF

How much do we know about the warrior race of peoples who fought the Romans from Wales to Anatolia?

The image of the visionary Celt has captured the modern imagination. Whether it be the woad-painted pagan warrior fighting for his freedom against distant rulers (be they Roman, English or French), or the fanatical Druid harrying Roman legionaries through the treacherous and mist-drenched forests of North Wales, the Celtic idea represents a proud and fierce independence. Yet there is another sort of Celtism: represented by the calligraphy and austere spirituality of the monks who illuminated the Book of Kells, or by that distinctive separateness characterising the so-called ‘Celtic fringe’ of Britain (host to still-living Celtic languages). But as Alex Woolf shows, even these contemporary associations do the Celts less than justice. Northern and Western Britain are merely the last redoubts of what was once a mighty and farflung Iron-Age civilisation, whose settlements extended from Anatolia and the lower Danube to Ireland and Spain. Alex Woolf traces the Celts’ development from their beginnings to their seventh-century nadir, when they ceased to be a single community. Encompassing Celtic religion, Romano-Celtic conflict and cohabitation, late antiquity, Celtic Christianity, Celtic art and the contested notion of a ‘Celtic heritage’.

THE CRIMEAN WAR

PAPERBACK ORIGINAL

TRUDI TATE

A new survey of the titanic struggle between the great powers of the nineteenth century The Crimean War (1853 – 1856) was the first modern war.

A vicious struggle between imperial Russia and an alliance of the British, French and Ottoman Empires, it was the first conflict to be reported first hand in newspapers, painted by official war artists, recorded by telegraph and photographed by camera. In her new short history, Trudi Tate discusses the ways in which this novel representation itself became part of the modern ‘war machine’. She tells forgotten stories about the war experience of individual soldiers and civilians, including journalists, nurses, doctors, war tourists and other witnesses. At the same time, the war was a retrograde one, fought with the mentality, and some of the equipment, of Napoleonic times. Tate argues that the Crimean War was both modern and old-fashioned, looking backwards and forwards, and generating optimism and despair among those who lived through it. She explores this paradox while giving full coverage to the bloody battles (Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman), the siege of Sebastopol, the much-derided strategies of the commanders, conditions in the field and the political impact of the anti-Russian alliance.

ILAN PAPPÉ The first comprehensive account of the formation of the state of Israel and the 1948 war, based on newly opened archival material Arabs and Jews describe the first Arab-Israeli war of 1948 in completely different ways. Among Arabs, and especially Palestinians, the events of that year are known as the nakba – the catastrophe, the trauma, the disaster. For Jews, and in particular for Israelis, their victory in the war of 1948 is a veritable miracle in which, against tremendous odds, the Jewish community succeeded in thwarting attempts by the Arab states to destroy it. In this book Ilan Pappé integrates new archival material with the findings of recent scholarship to present the reader with a comprehensive and general history of the origins and consequences of the 1948 war. He shows, in sharp contrast to the recollections and myths of both sides, that the military events of 1948 were not decisive alone.

The Untold Story of France’s Role in the Rwandan Genocide ANDREW WALLIS A riveting exposé of France’s role in one of the darkest chapters of human history The massacre of one million Rwandan Tutsis by ethnic Hutus in 1994 has become a symbol of the international community’s helplessness in the face of human rights atrocities. It is assumed that the West was well-intentioned, but ultimately ineffectual. But as Andrew Wallis reveals in this shocking book, one country – France – was secretly providing military, financial and diplomatic support to the genocidaires all along. Based on new interviews with key players and eyewitnesses, and previously unreleased documents, Walliss’ book tells a story which many have suspected, but never seen set out before. France, Wallis discovers, was keen to defend its influence in Africa, even if it meant complicity in genocide, for as French President Francois Mitterrand once said: “in countries like that, genocide is not so important”.

Wallis’ riveting exposé of the French role in one of the darkest chapters of human history will provoke furious debate, denials and outrage.

THE ROYAL NAVY

A History Since 1900 DUNCAN REDFORD AND PHILIP D. GROVE A new history of the modern Royal Navy Since 1900, the Royal Navy has seen vast operational changes. This book tells the story, not just of victory and defeat, but also of how the Navy has adjusted to a century of rapid technological and social change. The extensive reforms made by Admiral Fisher at the dawn of the twentieth century saw the navy’s nineteenth-century wooden fleet replaced with the latest modern technology – battleships (including the iconic dreadnoughts), aircraft carriers and submarines. In World War I and World War II, the navy played a central role, with unrestricted submarine warfare and supply blockades becoming an integral part of combat. However it was the development of nuclear and missile technology during the Cold War era which drastically changed the face of naval warfare – today the navy can launch sea-based strikes across thousands of miles to reach targets deep inland. This book places the wars and battles fought by the navy – from Jutland to the Falklands – within a wider context, looking at political, economic, social and cultural issues, as well as providing a thorough operational history.

A History of Bomber Command in World War II MARK CONNELLY A clear and concise look at the devastating yet legendary Bomber Command The role of Bomber Command in the World War II is still shrouded in mystery. This book provides a new story of the campaign and is both a military history and an investigation as to how the modern image has come about. There have been hundreds of books about the RAF and Bomber Command ranging from highly researched histories, technical studies of the aircraft, to popular works; as well as countless films, television shows and newspaper reportage. Mark Connelly draws together all the strands to look at the image created by this outpouring. Reaching for the Stars shows why Bomber Command, in one of the largest and bloodiest campaigns of the war – with 55,000 aircrew lost and more officer fatalities than in World War I – has received so much attention yet is still a ‘lost and black sheep’ among British wartime glories.

But following his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo the future of the one-time Emperor of France and master of Europe seemed irredeemably bleak. How did the brilliant tactician cope with being at the mercy of his captors? How did he react to a life in exile on St Helena – and how did the other inhabitants of that isolated and impregnable island respond to his presence there? And what tactics did he develop to preserve his legacy in such drastically reduced circumstances?

The Hajj Under the Ottomans SURAIYA FAROQHI A unique insight into pilgrimage in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries The pilgrimage to Mecca – the hajj – is a major aspect of the Islamic religion, yet little has been written about its history or of the conditions under which thousands of pilgrims from farflung regions of the Islamic world travelled to the heart of the Arabian peninsula. This pioneering book concentrates on the pilgrimage in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when Mecca was ruled by the Ottoman sultans. At a time when, for the majority of the faithful, the journey was long, arduous and fraught with danger, the provision of food, water, shelter and protection for pilgrims presented a major challenge to the provincial governors of the vast Ottoman Empire. Drawing on rich documentation left by Ottoman administrators and on the accounts of contemporary pilgrims, Suraiya Faroqhi here sheds new light on the trials and experiences of everyday life for those undertaking the hajj.

WARRIOR WOMEN OF ISLAM

NEW

Forgotten Heroines of the Great Arabian Tales REMKE KRUK Sparkling tales of strong, courageous women now available to an English-speaking readership Arabic storytelling is most commonly associated with the Arabian Nights. But few people are aware of a much larger corpus of narrative texts known as popular epic. These heroic romantic tales, originating in the Middle Ages, form vast cycles of adventure stories whose most remarkable feature is their portrayal of powerful and memorable women.

Wildly appreciated by medieval audiences, and spread by professional storytellers throughout the cities of the Muslim world, this material over the centuries continued to circulate in manuscript and yet virtually none are available in translation, and so remain almost unknown to a non-Arab public. Remke Kruk at last makes these neglected romances available to a Western audience. She recounts the story of Princess Dhat al-Himma, brave and undefeated leader of the Muslim army in its wars against the Byzantines; of Ghamra, brought up as a boy to become a fearless leader of men; and of Qannasa, an infidel, raiding from her mountain fortress to capture and seduce her enemies before putting them pitilessly to the sword. The Warrior Women of Islam puts a bold new complexion on gender roles and the wider perception of women in the Middle East.

Gertrude Bell and the Making of Modern Iraq LIORA LUKITZ Vivid personal story of an outstanding Edwardian woman, who dominated a masculine world Gertrude Bell was a commanding figure: scholar, linguist, archaeologist, traveller and ‘orientalist’. A remarkable woman in male-dominated Edwardian society, she shunned convention by eschewing marriage and family for an academic career and extensive travelling. But her private life was marred by the tragedy, vulnerability and frustration that were key to her quest both for a British-dominated Middle East and relief from the torture of her romantic failures. Through her vivid writings, she brought the Arab world alive for countless Britons. Alongside T.E. Lawrence, she was hugely instrumental in the post-war reconfiguration of the Arab states in the Middle East. In Iraq she became friend and confidante of the new King Faisal, and a prime mover in drawing up the country’s boundaries and establishing a constitutional monarchy there, with its parliament, civil service and legal system. She was influential in creating the state which had all the trappings of independence while remaining a virtual British colony. The legacy of her work is still being played out in the conflicts of today. Yet behind her public success was a backdrop of personal passions, desires and the relationships that drove this extraordinary woman.

THE HOUSE OF EL DEEB An Egyptian Novel

EZZAT EL KAMHAWI, TRANSLATED BY NANCY ROBERTS Winner of the 2012 Naguib Mahfouz Medal, this novel is set in an idyllic Egyptian village from the time it was discovered by Muhammad Ali’s mission in the early nineteenth century to the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, movingly intertwining events on the world scene with the life dramas of its protagonists. The story opens with the pivotal character, Mubarka Badr, now a grandmother and matriarch, wanting to dictate a letter to God for her grandson to send to the Almighty by email. We are then ushered back in time to Mubarka’s fiery adolescence and her painfully aborted romance with Muntasir, son of the village’s deceased but legendary strongman. The shifting fortunes of the Deeb clan affect every aspect of its members’ lives, from their sexual vulnerabilities to the grief of loss, the uncertainties of a changing world, and the heartaches borne of betrayal and love unfulfilled.

THE WOMAN FROM TANTOURA A Palestinian Novel

RADWA ASHOUR TRANSLATED BY KAY HEIKKINEN For most of us, the word brings to mind a series of confused images and disjointed associations – massacres, refugee camps, UN resolutions, settlements, terrorist attacks, war, occupation, checkered kouffiyehs and suicide bombers, a seemingly endless cycle of death and destruction. This novel does not shy away from such painful images, but it is first and foremost a powerful human story, following the life of a young girl from her days in the village of al-Tantoura in Palestine up to the dawn of the new century. We participate in events as they unfold, seeing them through the uneducated but sharply intelligent mind of Ruqayya, as she tries to make sense of all that has happened to her and her family. With her, we live her love of her land and of her people, we feel the repeated pain of loss, of diaspora and of crossgenerational misunderstanding; and above all, we come to know her indomitable human spirit. As we read we discover that we have become part of Ruqayya’s family, and her voice will remain with us long after we have closed the book.

PRIVATE PLEASURES An Egyptian Novel

HAMDY EL-­GAZZAR TRANSLATED BY HUMPHREY DAVIES Private Pleasures describes the three-­ day sex, drink and drug binge of a 30-­ something newsreader in the back streets and crumbling apartments of his native Giza, that pullulating mass of humanity that, like an ugly sister, sits opposite Cairo on the Nile’s west bank. Pursued by an unshakable sense of impending doom that is only partly attributable to fear of retribution at the hands of a sadistic police officer with whose wife he is conducting a frenzied affair, the narrator observes, with fascinated horror, his own stumbling progress through a world of menace and wonder inhabited by philosophical prostitutes, nightmarish butchers, serene Quran-­readers, pious family members, religious con-­men, autistic tissue-­sellers and others. Milleresque in its treatment of sex, the novel captures the essence of the phantasmagoric world of the Egyptian mega-­city, disintegrating under the pressures of its home-­grown horrors while pining for the sublime.

RAIN OVER BAGHDAD An Egyptian Novel

HALA EL BADRY TRANSLATED BY FAROUK ABDEL WAHAB What was it like to live in Iraq before the earth-­shaking events of the end of the twentieth century? The mid-70s to the late 1980s witnessed Saddam Hussein’s rise to power, the establishment of Kurdish autonomy in the north and the Iraq-­Iran war. It also brought an influx of oil wealth, following the 1973 war and the spike in oil prices, and a parallel influx of Arab talent, including many Egyptians, as the Egyptian left became disenchanted with Sadat. The massive migration also extended to workers and peasants, some of whom created an entire Egyptian village just outside Baghdad. We witness all of this and more through the eyes of an Egyptian woman married to an engineer working in Iraq. The narrator, who works for an Egyptian magazine’s bureau in the Iraqi capital, has a behind-­the-­scenes view of what was really happening at a critical juncture in the history of the region. Moreover, she has a mystery to solve: an Iraqi woman from the marshes in the south of Iraq, who is also a communist journalist, has disappeared, and as the mystery unfolds we learn of her love for an older Egyptian Marxist journalist. This is Iraq before and beyond Saddam, Iraq as the Arabs knew it, in the lives of interesting people living in a vibrant country before the attempted annexation of Kuwait and the American invasion. This is the Iraq that was …

CELL BLOCK FIVE FADHIL AL-­AZZAWI TRANSLATED BY WILLIAM M. HUTCHINS Being plucked from a Baghdad café and deposited in a cell block for political prisoners is a wakeup call for Aziz, the novel’s hero and narrator, a young man who has been living on automatic pilot – as if he were a guest visiting his own life – and he is finally forced to come to terms with the flawed world we inhabit and shape. Although never charged with any offense, he must adjust to a lengthy stay in prison, where he is befriended by Salam the yard boss, Mun‘im, an idealistic university student with a beautiful sister named Salwa, Yusuf, an idealist dispatched to the ‘Swamp,’ Salman an anarchist schoolteacher, and Mustafa an aged farmer who dreams of an alternative society. While these imprisoned revolutionaries teach Aziz to dream that an ideal city with his name on it may lie just over the horizon, the police supervisor encourages him to think of a simple crime to which he can confess so he can be charged and eventually released. Based on the author’s own incarceration in Iraq, Cell Block Five is a clear-­headed, good-­humored tribute to the prison’s men – both the inmates and the guards – and an indictment of man’s gratuitous inhumanity to man, pointing out that the transition from abused to abuser, tortured to torturer, can be an easy one. Written in 1971 and published outside Iraq in 1972, Cell Block Five – the first Iraqi prison novel – was later made into a feature film in Syria. Drawing the reader subtly into the political section of an Iraqi prison, this compelling story easily transcends cultural boundaries.

A Cultural History of Hell MARGARET KEAN Doom, damnation and everlasting anguish: why do we remain so fascinated by the horrors of Hell?

Eternal fire, diabolical torment, graphic mortification of the flesh and a smoke-filled underworld pierced by the despairing shrieks of the damned: the idea of Hell has for thousands of years exerted both fascination and terror. And despite its horrors, it is hard to resist its almost seductive allure.

Whether expressed in medieval Doom paintings and grim warnings of everlasting suffering, or in modern psychological interpretations, the belief in a ghastly terminus for the souls of the cursed has proved remarkably resilient and persistent.

It has far outlived specific portrayals by artists, writers and theologians, and has seemed far more resonant an idea than either a heavenly Paradise or New Jerusalem. Why has Hell retained this extraordinary potency, even as Western society has become more sceptical and secular? In her rich and wideranging book, Margaret Kean tells the history of Hell through literature, philosophy, art, music and film. From Dante and Bosch to Blake and Milton, and from Joseph Conrad and Primo Levi to Angel Heart, Alien 3 and Event Horizon, Kean vividly explores Hell as both secular confessional and divinely ordained penal colony – as metaphor for alienation and infernal locale for one’s never-ending worst nightmare.

A History of Creation Myths from Gilgamesh to the God-Particle G.R. EVANS An engaging and enlightening discussion of the key questions of life, the universe and everything Did the universe start with a bang, or has it existed always?

Was there a supernatural being behind it all, or just mindless forces? The beginning of things has forever tested the limits of curiosity, and such questions have both challenged atheists and inspired believers. Ancient cultures resorted to myth and symbolism to tell vibrant stories about human origins. Later civilisations added philosophical and scientific explanations: but these are not definitive. The nature and meaning of existence – the ‘why’ as much as the ‘how’ questions – are in the end mysterious. In this lively and wide-ranging book, G.R. Evans explores the world’s myriad creation stories against the background of the biggest question there is: what are we doing here? Discussing Swahili legends that resemble the Book of Genesis, Greek tales about the Titans, Native American, Inca and Mesopotamian mythologies and Vedic creation cycles that begin with a cosmic egg or seed, the author surveys polytheist, monotheist and dualist ideas about supernatural power. Tracing the history of humanity as it has struggled, over many millennia, to make sense of itself, First Light will attract students of religion, history and philosophy and general readers alike

THE MADNESS OF KING JESUS

NEW

The Real Reasons for his Execution JUSTIN J. MEGGITT Was Jesus killed for claiming to be the Messiah or because he was thought to be insane?

Why was Jesus killed by the Romans? Was he a dangerous subversive, executed because he declared himself to be the Son of God? Or was he silenced for another – far more disturbing – reason that has so far been overlooked? Most scholars believe that Jesus died on a cross because he was viewed as a messianic pretender who challenged Roman rule and had to be eliminated, whatever the cost. But Justin Meggitt suggests otherwise: that the rulers of Judaea did not perceive Jesus as being any threat at all. So why else would this ‘King of the Jews’ have been executed while his disciples were allowed to go free? Usual practice in the Empire was to hunt down perceived ‘rebels’ in order to squash all sources of opposition. Yet Peter and the other apostles remained entirely at large to spread their gospel. All the evidence points to the fact that Jesus’ executioners thought him to be an inconsequential and deluded lunatic, to be mocked as they taunted other madmen of the day, and then put out of his misery. Rather than wanting to liquidate a threatening political agitator, the motives of the Romans were rather those of pragmatic – or gratuitously sadistic – policing.

NEW THE MEDIEVAL CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHERS An Introduction RICHARD CROSS An introduction to the great thinkers who inspired the development of Western philosophy The High Middle Ages were remarkable for their coherent sense of ‘Christendom’: of people who belonged to a homogeneous Christian society marked by uniform rituals of birth and death and worship. That uniformity, which came under increasing strain as national European characteristics became more pronounced, achieved perhaps its most perfect intellectual expression in the thought of the Western Christian thinkers who are sometimes called ‘scholastic theologians’. These philosophers produced (during roughly the period 1050–1350 CE) a cohesive body of work from their practice of theology as an academic discipline in the university faculties of their day. Richard Cross’ elegant and stylish textbook – designed specifically for modern-day undergraduate use on medieval theology and philosophy courses – offers the first focused introduction to these thinkers, based on the individuals themselves and their central preoccupations. The book discusses influential figures like Abelard, Peter Lombard and Hugh of St Victor; the use made by Aquinas of Aristotle; the mystical theology of Bonaventure; Robert Grosseteste’s and Roger Bacon’s interest in optics; the complex metaphysics of Duns Scotus; and the political thought of Marsilius of Padua and William of Ockham.

ANCIENT EGYPT INVESTIGATED

NEW

101 Important Questions and Intriguing Answers THOMAS SCHNEIDER A provocative and completely original new way of looking at the ancient Egyptians How well do we really know ancient Egypt? The world of the Egyptians seems so familiar to us. And yet, so much of what we take for granted is based on quite wildly inaccurate information that has been spreading since the days of classical antiquity and the Renaissance. It is only in the last 200 years that we have even been able to read for ourselves the writings of the ancient Egyptians – so it is hardly surprising that the myths which have built up in the preceding 2,000 years are so tough to dispel. But this is what the internationally acclaimed Egyptologist Thomas Schneider here attempts to do: he asks ‘What are the 101 single most important questions about ancient Egypt?’ The questions he has chosen – and the answers he provides – challenge almost everything we thought we knew about the ancient civilisation in the Nile valley. They range from the surprising (‘Why did upper class Egyptians never wear a beard?’), to the profound (‘Was ancient Egypt a culture of death?’). Together, they provide a completely fresh way of looking at all aspects of ancient Egypt – from history, art and everyday life to religion and ancient attitudes to death and the afterlife.

NEW ARTS AND CRAFTS OF THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS, NUBIANS, AND ETHIOPIANS The Lost Manuscript of Frédéric Cailliaud TRANSLATED AND EDITED BY ANDREW BEDNARSKI The first English edition of a long-lost illustrated French manuscript on ancient Egyptian arts The travel accounts, drawings and collections of Frédéric Cailliaud were an important early contribution to the birth of the new scientific discipline of Egyptology in the first half of the nineteenth century. But one of his major works – on the arts and crafts of ancient Egypt – was never published. For the first time here, his exquisite colour plates are presented alongside a translation of his original French text describing them. Explanatory material by Andrew Bednarski and other scholars put the work in context. Arriving in Egypt in 1815, Cailliaud embarked upon a series of explorations that included the rediscovery of the Roman emerald mines at Mount Zabora and ancient routes to the Red Sea, expeditions in the Eastern and Western Deserts, and the land we know today as Ethiopia. He made copious notes on the flora and fauna, people and antiquities he saw, and took a collection of over two thousand objects back to France. Cailliaud’s beautifully rendered watercolours of scenes on ancient Egyptian tombs and temples (viewed before Champollion’s deciphering of Egyptian hieroglyphs) show animated scenes of ancient daily life, with which he draws parallels to the nineteenth-century activities he observed around him.

WOMEN TRAVELLERS IN EGYPT

NEW

From the Eighteenth to the Twenty-first Century EDITED BY DEBORAH MANLEY Around Egypt through the centuries with intrepid women travellers Until late in the nineteenth century, few guidebooks acknowledged the presence of women as travellers – although women had been travelling around the world for centuries.

Women’s accounts of their journeys, distinct from those of male travellers, began to appear more frequently in the early nineteenth century, and Egypt was a popular destination.

Women had more time to watch and describe; they were more dependent on the Egyptian staff; they spent time both in the harems of Cairo and with the women they met along the Nile.

Some of them, like Sarah Belzoni, Sophia Poole and Ellen Chennells, spoke Arabic. Others wrote engagingly of their experiences as observers of an exotic culture, with special access to some places no man could ever go.

THE NOMAD’S PATH

NEW

Travels in the Sahel ALISTAIR CARR A timely and evocative tale of adventure in a time of turmoil The Manga is one of Africa’s most wild and remote regions: a hostile and unforgiving landscape inhabited by nomads.

Situated in south-eastern Niger, in the shadow of the Old Salt Road, it has been mislaid by the modern world; no Westerner had been seen there in living memory. The Nomad’s Path is a beautifully rendered account of a journey across this inhospitable region at a time of Tuareg insurgency in 2004 and 2008 . Carr sets out to explore the centuries-old link between the Barbary Coast and the Sahel along the Old Salt Road, while conjuring to life a lost wilderness and those who survive within it. At its heart is the story of a daring journey across the Sahel with the Tubu nomads. With tales of rebellion, lost civilisations, explorers – both intrepid and eccentric – and an epic seventeenth-century odyssey, Carr captures a sense of the intangible nature of the Sahel and delivers an evocative portrait of the Tubu – a people living on the tide-line of the Sahara and the edge of the world.

A CAIRO ANTHOLOGY

NEW

Two Hundred Years of Travel Writing EDITED BY DEBORAH MANLEY Travellers’ accounts of their first breathtaking impressions of the marvellous city that is Cairo Cairo has for centuries been recognised as one of the great cities of the world, and this anthology brings together travellers’ descriptions of it over the centuries – from the comments of Herodotus to those of Julian Huxley. Perhaps more than anything else in the city, the wonderful mosques with their tall minarets have been admired and written about over the centuries by such travellers as the Frenchman Pierre Loti, the economist Harriet Martineau and the travel writer Michael Haag.

This anthology gathers together the excitement of arriving in the great city either up the Nile or across the desert, the experience of the crowded – but courteous – streets and colourful bazaars with their passing processions. With the travellers we enter the hotels, climb to the historic Citadel, and look out towards – and then visit – the Pyramids and Sphinx on the other side the Nile.

On the Trail of Odysseus Through Turkey and the Mediterranean JOHN FREELY The first guide to Homer’s lost world – by a master travel writer In October 1945 at the age of 19, John Freely passed the southernmost tip of Crete on his way home from the war in China, just as Odysseus did on his homeward voyage from the battle of Troy. He has been bewitched by Homer and the lands of Homer’s epics ever since. As the culmination of a life spent exploring both these lands and the stories by, and connected to, Homer, Freely has created a captivating traveller’s guide to Homer’s lost world and to his epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, investigating where such places as the Land of the Lotus Eaters are and what it was about the landscapes of Greece and Turkey that so inspired Homer – the greatest classical epic poet. With unparalleled knowledge and passion, John Freely guides the traveller through all of those places linked to Homer that can be identified and brings Homer and his world vividly to life, revealing how the Homeric epics continue to echo through the ages in literatuture, art, legend and folklore.

DORIS DAY CONFIDENTIAL

NEW

Hollywood, Sex and Stardom TAMAR JEFFERS McDONALD The virgin myth exposed Doris Day was a major star during the 1950s and 1960s. Even now, the star (who was 90 in April 2012) is often still invoked as shorthand for a kind of sexuality now felt outmoded, being typecast as ‘the forty year old virgin’. Close attention to the facts of Day’s own life (three times married) challenges this assumption and the majority of her film roles also prove otherwise, with Day most frequently portraying a woman of maturely sexual desires. How did such pejorative labelling arise, and why has it stuck so tenaciously to Day, even now?

SCREENING THE UNDEAD

NEW

Vampires and Zombies in Film and Television LEON HUNT, SHARON LOCKYER AND MILLY WILLIAMSON Why do these supernatural creatures hold such lasting fascination?

The vampire and the zombie, the two most popular incarnations of the undead, are brought together for a forensic critical investigation in Screening the Undead. Both have a long history in popular fiction, film, television, comics and games; the vampire also remains central to popular culture today, from literary ‘paranormal romance’ to cult TV and movie franchises – by turns romantic, tortured, grotesque, countercultural, a goth icon or lonely outsider. The zombie can shamble or, nowadays, sprint with alarming velocity, and even dance. It frequently lends itself to metaphor and can stand in for fascism or ecological disaster, but is perhaps most frequently a harbinger and instrument of the apocalypse.

vampire and the grotesque zombie, as well as hybrid figures who do not fit neatly into either category. These are examined across a range of contexts, from the Swedish vampire to the Afro-American Blacula, from the lesbian vampire to the gay zombie, from the Spanish Knights Templar riding skeletal horses to dancing Japanese zombies. Screening the Undead sheds new light on these two icons of terror – and desire – whose popular longevity has taken them ‘Beyond Life’.

SCREENING TWILIGHT

Critical Approaches to a Cinematic Phenomenon WICKHAM CLAYTON AND SARAH HARMAN (EDS) Exploring a supernatural blockbuster The Twilight Saga, a series of five films adapted from Stephanie Meyer’s four novels, has been a sensation, both at the box office and through the attention it has won from its predominantly teenaged fans. As popular cinema, the series has had its share of criticism, even from fans. However, it also offers rich opportunities for critical attention, which the November 2013 contributors to Screening Twilight provide with energy and 240 pages 234 x 156mm Paperback £14.99 style.

The book unpacks how this popular group of films work as cinematic texts, what they have to say about cinema and culture today, and how fans may seek to re-read or subvert these messages. Chapters address Twilight in the context of the vampire and myth, in terms of genre and reception, identity, gender and sexuality, and through reviewing the series fandom. Screening Twilight is a revelation of how a popular cinematic phenomenon can reward close attention from scholarly, critical writers on cinema and culture.

RADICAL FRONTIERS IN THE SPAGHETTI WESTERN

NEW IN PAPERBACK

Politics, Violence and Popular Italian Cinema AUSTIN FISHER Radical exploration of the politics of the Italian Western Austin Fisher looks in detail at the works of Damiano Damiani, Sergio Sollima, Sergio Corbucci, Giulio Questi and Giulio Petroni and how these directors reformatted the Hollywood Western to yield new resonance for militant constituencies and radical groups. Radical Frontiers identifies the main variants of these militant Westerns, which brazenly endorsed violent peasant insurrection in the ‘Mexico’ of the popular imagination, turning the camera on the hitherto heroic colonialists of the West and exposing the brutal mechanisms of a society infested with latent fascism. The ways in which the films’ artistic failures reflect the ideological confusions of the radical groups is examined and the genre’s legacy is reappraised, as the revolutionary energy of Italy’s New Left becomes subsumed amidst the conflicting agendas of New Hollywood, blaxploitation and the ‘grindhouse’ revival of Tarantino, Rodriguez and Raimi.

Classic Modernist Design 1915-45 MO TEITELBAUM A highly illustrated look at this most influential and creative period in art history In Paris in the 1920s a new style was born. Rejecting the embellishments of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, it allied the linear proportions of late eighteenth-century furniture to a twentieth-century perception, paring down superfluous detail to the essence of classic modernism. The ostensible creation of iconic interior decorator Jean-Michel Frank, the new style owed much to a circle of South American collectors and patrons, including Eugenia Errázuriz, a lifelong friend of Picasso and Stravinsky. This new study documents how their interchange of partners and ideas led to innovation in every field of the arts. It is packed with fresh material and original insights on artists and luminaries such as Man Ray, John Singer Sargent, Diaghilev, Elsa Schiaparelli, Le Corbusier and Josephine Baker.

Finally it explores his significant achievement as a sculptor of wild animals and his lifelong fascination with depicting the blind and visually impaired.

Whistler and the Thames MARGARET F. MACDONALD AND PATRICIA DE MONTFORD A new look at this significant period in Whistler’s life and career In the 1860s and 1870s Whistler produced a body of work based on Battersea Bridge, London. Pivotal to his career, this beautiful group of paintings permits a detailed examination of his approach to composition, subject and technique. The earliest pieces, notably Brown and Silver: Old Battersea Bridge, produced soon after his arrival in London, mark one of his most profound and successful challenges to the art establishment of the time and his influence on the aesthetics of the day. This comprehensive and handsomely illustrated study presents the definitive examples of Whistler’s radical new approach to the time-honoured subject of the city and river. The works reveal to us Whistler’s world – the exhibitions, personalities, buildings, style and atmosphere which inform his art and root this American cosmopolitan securely in the ranks of noted artists inspired by London and the Thames.

November 2013 Jai McKenzie identifies light-space-time structures throughout the history of photomedia, from the early image machines through analogue and digital image machines to the present day. She proposes that they will continue to develop in the future, and takes us to future image machines of the year 2039. With the use of the theories of Paul Virilio, Jean Baudrillard and Vilém Flusser, featuring artists including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Nam June Paik, Yves Klein, Eadweard Muybridge, Martha Rosler, Cindy Sherman and Michael Snow, as well as photographic images, Light and Photomedia places the reader in a new history and future which, although mostly overlooked by the canon of photomedia theory, is an essential line of enquiry for contemporary thinking and dialogue in photography.

DIGITAL SNAPS

NEW

The New Face of Photography JONAS LARSEN AND METTE SANDBYE (EDS) How digital photography has changed the way we take photographs Photography as an everyday practice is changing dramatically once again. At this moment of transition from analogue to digital – when ordinary people are using new cameras and interactive internet-spaces as part of their everyday lives – Digital Snaps aims to develop a new media ecology that can accommodate these changes to photography ‘as we know it’. Expert contributors representing varied disciplines demonstrate how and to what extent the traditional social practices, technologies and images of analogue photography are being transformed with the movement to digital photography.

They zoom in on typical, vernacular, everyday practices: the development of the family photo album from a physical object in the living room to a digital practice on the internet; the use of mobile phones in everyday life; photo communities on the internet; photo booth photography; studio photography; and fine arts’ appropriation of amateur photography. They explore how this media convergence transforms the media ecology – the networks, objects, performances, meanings and circulations – of vernacular photography.

ALBERTO GIACOMETTI

NEW

Art of Relation TIMOTHY MATTHEWS A major new look at the life and word of this acclaimed sculptor Alberto Giacometti’s attenuated figures of the human form are among the most significant artistic images of the twentieth century. Sartre, Breton, and Winnicott are just some of the great thinkers who have drawn upon the graceful, harrowing work of Giacometti, which has continued to resonate with artists, writers and audiences. In this book, Timothy Mathews explores the themes of fragility, trauma, space and relationality in Giacometti’s art and the texts that respond or refer to them: the novels of W.G. Sebald, Samuel Beckett and Cees Nooteboom, and the theories of Bertolt Brecht, which recasts the iconic L’Homme qui marche as Walter Benjamin’s Angel of History. During his lifelong quest to represent the human form, and to locate the humanity at the heart of conflicting conceptions of modernity, Giacometti returned to the key notions of depth and flatness, memory and attachment, through his sculptures and writings. Both a critical study of Giacometti’s life and work, and an investigation of their affective power, this book asks what encounters with Giacometti’s pieces can tell us about the history of our own time, and our ways of looking; about the nature of human attachment, and the humility of relating to art.

A Cultural History of the Aerial View MARK DORRIAN AND FRÉDÉRIC POUSIN A richly written visual exploration of the aerial imagination From sixteenth-century Roman maps, to the Luftwaffe’s aerial survey of Warsaw, the London Eye to Google Earth, visual culture is saturated with aerial imagery. The aerial view – the image of everywhere – has become natural, desirable, omnipresent, yet its rise to pre-eminence as a ‘way of seeing’ raises pressing questions about its effects and meanings that have not hitherto been explored. Underpinned by a cross-disciplinary approach that draws together diverse and previously isolated material, Seeing from Above examines the politics and poetics of the aerial view in relation to architecture, art, film, literature, photography and urbanism, and explores its role in areas such as aesthetics and epistemology. Using examples of specific cultural moments to elucidate the wider theory, this is the only book to provide a cultural history of the aerial imagination and its centrality to visual culture.

FASHION CRIMES

NEW

Dressing for Deviance JO TURNEY (ED.) How fashion criminality and the deviant outsider connect in everyday dress In both revealing and concealing the body, fashionable clothing is an excellent communicator of a person’s identity, which in turn can assume social and moral significance in coding someone as ‘respectable’ or as an outsider; as deviant.

This book explores the relationship between fashion and criminality. It sets out to develop from interdisciplinary perspectives new ways of seeing everyday dress and the individual body in the public space. It focuses on specific garments and their individual or group wearers – the Hoodie and the trench-coat, knitted Norwegian Lustkoffe sweaters and low-slung trousers, branded sportswear and Hip Hop styling, the fashion model – innocuous in themselves, but which have been coded as deviant socially and in the media. It questions the point at which morality as a form of social control meets criminality and demonstrates how such established dress codes and terms as ‘suitability’ or ‘glamour’ can be renegotiated through the exploration of what people wear every day in response to notions of criminality.

THE VIOLENCE OF THE IMAGE

Photography and International Conflict LIAM KENNEDY AND CAITLIN PATRICK (EDS) How photojournalism treats and shows international conflict Photography has visualized international relations and conflicts from the mid-nineteenth century onwards and continues to be an important medium in framing the worlds of distant and suffering others. The Violence of the Image examines the roles of image producers and the functions of photographic December 2013 imagery in the documentation and communication of wars, 288 pages 234 x 156mm Paperback £15.99 violent conflicts and human rights issues.

The book focuses on photojournalism, the premier visual genre in news media framing of international affairs through much of the twentieth century. Many photojournalists promote an ethos of critique, ethically underwritten by the idea of ‘witnessing’ and affective appeals to action based on displays of human suffering. The book deals with the much-cited concept of ‘compassion fatigue’ and shows how public commitment to such a ‘documentary ethos’ remains strong today. The Violence of the Image also engages with the ways in which the newer vernacular and artistic modes of photographic production, including digital photography, camera phones and social media platforms, articulate international friction.

HELEN CHADWICK

Constructing Identities between Art and Architecture STEPHEN WALKER Timely and intimate reading of this influential conceptual artist Highly respected by her peers and hugely influential on the subsequent generation of artists, British artist Helen Chadwick (1953 – 1996) produced a wide-ranging body of work in a variety of media. She also drew upon a panoply of references, from classical Greek through to contemporary architectures, micro-biology, sub-particle physics and esoteric philosophies.

Stephen Walker identifies and explores a consistent range of issues and enduring interests that accompanied and supported Chadwick’s realised work, including the relationship between body and space, self and the world; between art and science, the creative self and the creative process. Dismantling and reassembling her thought, Walker here combines a close reading of Chadwick’s notebooks and research with broader speculation about their ongoing relevance for artistic and architectural work today.

AZERBAIJAN

NEW IN PAPERBACK

A Political History SUHA BOLUKBASI A new interpretation of the recent political history of this troubled region Azerbaijan’s Soviet and post-Soviet political history has been tumultuous and varied, particularly with regard to the struggle for independence, democracy and sovereignty. Suha Bolukbasi here illustrates how post-Stalin resilience, the tolerance shown toward subtle nationalist expression and Gorbachev’s relaxation of central control from Moscow were all in part responsible for the initial emergence of a more liberal atmosphere in Azerbaijan. As a result, issues such as Moscow’s responsibility for environmental degradation, the depletion of Azerbaijan’s oil and unfavourable terms of trade have all begun to be freely discussed. However, the AzerbaijanArmenia dispute over Karabagh has had a dramatic impact on the political discourse. The dispute has become not only an international conflict, but one which involves the lives of more than one million refugees. This book shows how Azerbaijan’s recent political history – both domestic and international – has influenced the development of the country and the history of the surrounding region.

PEOPLES APART

Israel, South Africa and the Apartheid Question ILAN PAPPÉ (ED.) Is Israel operating a modern-day apartheid state?

The word ‘apartheid’ evokes the ideology of racial segregation which dominated South Africa for so many years. Yet opinionformers, including former US President Jimmy Carter, are increasingly using the word ‘apartheid’ to describe the situation of Arabs in Israel and the Occupied Territories. It is argued that even within Israel itself the Arab population is excluded from participation in civic life, and that the Palestinian enclaves created by the path of the ‘security barrier’ in the Occupied Territories are no more than modern day Bantustans. The use of the word ‘apartheid’ is highly emotive, and has serious implications for international policy. Yet in the heat of debate, no-one has unpacked the South Africa analogy and brought on board the expertise of historians, lawyers, journalists and policymakers familiar with the politics of both countries. Now for the first time, one of Israel’s most celebrated academics, Ilan Pappé, has gathered together these perspectives in an accessible format which lays out the legal, political and social dimensions of apartheid, and provides an authoritative assessment of its relevance to Israel.

Power, Politics and the Prime Minister PATRICK DIAMOND A unique insider account of the hidden workings of Downing Street Number 10 Downing Street and the Cabinet Office are at the apex of power in Britain, yet they are among the most under-researched of all the great institutions of state. With an unprecedented level of access and interviews from former ministers, senior civil servants and political advisers, Patrick Diamond examines the administrative and political machinery serving the Prime Minister, and considers how it evolved from the early years of New Labour to the election of the Coalition Government in 2010. Drawing on previously unpublished material, Diamond provides a unique analysis which considers the continuing power of the civil service, the tensions between permanent officials and political aides and the hard grind of achieving change from the centre in Whitehall and Westminster. By exploring the ideological beliefs underpinning the decision-making process and illuminating the importance of the ‘British Political Tradition’, this book reveals the contemporary realities of government and democracy in practice.

BURAIMI

The Struggle for Power, Influence and Oil in Arabia MICHAEL QUENTIN MORTON A groundbreaking new history of a dangerous stand-off in the Middle East Buraimi is a small oasis in an otherwise bleak desert. In the early twentieth century it shot to notoriety as oil brought the world’s attention to this corner of the Arabian Peninsula. In this exciting account of the conflict, Michael Quentin Morton tells the story of how the overwhelming power of oil and the conflicting interests of the declining British Empire and the United States all came to a head, shaping the future of the Gulf States.

With colourful additions from first-hand accounts, Morton brings a range of historical figures to life, from the American oilmen arriving in steamy Jeddah in the 1930s, to the rival sheikhs of the oasis competing for power, wealth and allegiances, as well as the great players in world politics: Churchill, Truman and Ibn Saud. This entertaining, yet thoroughly researched, book is both a story of decisive conflict in the history of Middle East politics and also of the great changes that the discovery of oil brought to this otherwise desolate land.

From the Second Intifada to Hamas’ Electoral Victory AHMED QURIE (‘ABU ALA’) Why has the Palestine-Israel peace process failed to deliver peace?

The start of the twenty-first century in Palestine saw the collapse of the 1994 Oslo agreements, giving way to a turbulent period of dashed hope, escalating violence and internal division. Tracking developments from the Second Intifada of 2000 to Hamas’ 2006 electoral victory, former Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie provides revealing and first-hand detail of the monumental changes that have rocked the peace process and the region as a whole. New proposals, such as the Arab Peace Initiative and the Road Map, and historic events, including the death of iconic leader Yasser Arafat and Sharon’s withdrawal from Gaza, are recognised to be of immense significance. However, it is Qurie’s unique position that reveals a new perspective of how they played out on the stages of Palestinian internal governance, regional politics and international diplomacy.
