Explores the two-hundred-year struggle to ini�ate women as full par�cipants in the masonic brotherhood that shared in the rise of France’s civil society and its “civic morality” on behalf of women’s rights.
Focuses on Spain’s crusade to resurrect its empire, beginning with the War of Africa. Interrogates the legacy of Hispanic iden��es from mul�ple axes, as former colonies were annexed and others were occupied, tying together strands of European, Mediterranean, and Atlan�c histories in the second age of global imperialism.

Sean M. Quinlan follows the way that medical ideas, stemming from the so-called "birth of the clinic," zigzagged across the intellectual landscape of the French Revolu�on and its a�ermath. It was a remarkable "hotspot" in the historical �meline, when doctors and scien�sts pioneered a staggering number of fields and these innova�ons cap�vated the public imagina�on.

Physician Girolamo Mercuriale pronounced in On Pes�lence that plague was characterized by its lethal nature and the rapidity with which it spread. His work appears here for the first �me in English, with an introduc�on that places the work within the context of the history of medicine, and our own responses to epidemic disease.
Brian P. Owensby uses the centuries-long encounter between Europeans and the indigenous people of South America to reframe the no�on of economic gain as a historical development rather than a ma�er of human nature.

Radical Resilience relates narra�ves of Athenians struggling to survive the impoverishment of relentless austerity measures, compounding emergencies and human disasters of successive na�onal crises in Greece since 2010. Drawing on eight years of fieldwork, Othon Alexandrakis examines the effects of injury, erosion and upheaval on individuals already pushed beyond their limits but holding on against all odds.
Romania's Holy War rights the widespread myth that Romania was a reluctant member of the Axis during World War II. In correc�ng this fallacy, Grant T. Harward shows that, of an es�mated 300,000 Jews who perished in Romania and Romanian-occupied Ukraine, more than 64,000 were, in fact, killed by Romanian soldiers.

South of Somewhere begins and ends in American writer Robert Camuto’s maternal ancestral town of Vico Equense, Italy—a �ny paradise south of Naples on the Sorrento Peninsula. Camuto’s fine-grained storytelling in this series of portraits takes us beyond the usual objec�ve views of viniculture and into the elusive and magical world of Italian “South-ness.”
Spa�al Revolu�on is the first compara�ve parallel study of Soviet architecture and planning to create a narra�ve arc across a vast geography. The narra�ve binds together three cri�cal industrial-residen�al projects in Baku, Magnitogorsk, and Kharkiv, built during the first fi�een years of the Soviet project and followed a�en�vely worldwide a�er the collapse of capitalist markets in 1929.

Vietnamese Migrants Transforming Ethnic Nationalism in Berlin Phi Hong Su
Discovering the Highlands of Poland and Ukraine Patrice M. Dabrowski
CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
Dabrowski narrates how three highland ranges of the mountain system found in present-day Poland, Slovakia, and Ukraine were discovered for a broader regional public. This is a story of how the Tatras, Eastern Carpathians, and Bieszczady Mountains went from being terra incognita to becoming the popular tourist des�na�ons they are today.
When the Berlin Wall fell, the city was home to two groups of Vietnamese migrants—some refugees from socialism, others working in East Berlin in the name of socialist solidarity. Phi Hong Su paints a vivid portrait of these disparate migrants' encounters with each other in the post-socialist city.

This first study in English of the image of Christ in Russian literature highlights the importance of apopha�cism as a theological prac�ce and a literary method in understanding the Russian Christ. It also emphasizes the importance of skep�cism in Russian literary a�tudes toward Jesus.
In post-Soviet Russia, there is a persistent trend to repress, control, or even co-opt na�onal history. While Pu�n's regime has acquired nearly complete control over interpreta�ons of the past, The Future of the Soviet Past reveals that Russia's inability to fully rewrite its Soviet history plays an essen�al part in its current poli�cal agenda.

In this sweeping historical survey, Géza Pálffy takes readers through a crucial period of upheaval and revolu�on in Hungary, which had been the site of a flowering of economic, cultural, and intellectual progress—but ba�les with the O�omans lead to over a century of war and devasta�on.
More than one million Indian soldiers were deployed during World War I, serving in the Indian Army as part of Britain’s imperial war effort. Jarboe follows these Indian soldiers—or sepoys—across the ba�lefields, examining the contested representa�ons Bri�sh and Indian audiences drew from the soldiers’ war�me experiences. 9
