STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
Concentrating on W. H. Auden's work from the late 1930s, when he seeks to understand the poet's responsibility in the face of a triumphant fascism, to the late 1950s, when he discerns an irreconcilable "divorce" between poetry and history in light of industrialized murder, this startling new study reveals the intensity of the poet's struggles with the meanings of history.
CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Explores the political history of the satire and humor magazine Broom published in Soviet Lithuania. Klumbytļ investigates official attempts to shape citizens into Soviet subjects and engage them into co-governance through a culture of popular humor. This book argues that authoritarianism is defied not only in revolutions, but in the many stories people tell each other about themselves in jokes, cartoons, and satires.

Representation and the Remaking of Time Barbara Leckie
Culture as Politics in Cold War Poland and East Germany Kyrill Kunakhovich
CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
Communism's Public Sphere explores the political role of cultural spaces in the Eastern Bloc. Under communist regimes that banned free speech, political discussions shifted to spaces of art: theaters, galleries, concert halls, and youth clubs. Kyrill Kunakhovich shows how these venues turned into sites of dialogue and contestation.
In this moment of climate precarity, Victorian studies scholar Barbara Leckie considers the climate crisis as a problem of time. Spanning the long nineteenth century through our current moment, her interdisciplinary treatment of climate change at once remakes time and illustrates that the time for climate action is now.

Transylvania across Empires Manuela Boatcă and Anca Parvulescu
Aftermaths of War along the Huallaga River Richard Kernaghan
How are modernity, coloniality, and interimperiality entangled? Bridging the humanities and social sciences, Anca Parvulescu and Manuela Boatcă provide innovative decolonial perspectives that aim to creolize modernity and the modern world-system. Creolizing the Modern develops a comparative method for engaging with areas of the world that have inherited multiple, conflicting imperial and anti-imperial histories.
Crossing the Current explores aftermaths of internal war through the ethnographic scrutiny of rural transit and territorial transformations in Peru's Upper Huallaga Valley. This book asks what happens to such a place once prolonged conflict has ostensibly passed. How have ordinary experiences of land, territory, and law, and of the river that runs through them all, been altered in the aftermaths of war? 2

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Decolonizing 1968 explores how activists in 1968 transformed university campuses across Europe and North Africa into sites of contestation where students, administrators, and state officials collided over definitions of modernity and nationhood after empire. As a result, Hendrickson reveals 1968 is not merely a flashpoint in the history of left-wing protest but a key turning point in the history of decolonization.

The volume examines when and why they decided to enlist, explores their encounters with fellow soldiers, and describes their efforts to create community within the ranks.

The Inside Story of an Insurgency Henry H. Perritt UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PRESS

Drawing on extensive research in Arabic newspapers and Islamic and colonial archives, Halabi reveals how the festival has encapsulated Palestinians’ responses to modernity, colonialism, and the nation’s growing national identity.

Rather than insisting upon the greater importance of streets over buildings, Ceen studies the interactions between buildings and public space, something he describes as urban reciprocity. Profusely and beautifully illustrated, Roma Traversata shows that streets and pathways of Rome are not merely ways of getting from place to place. They are places.

Takes stories from the “modern West” of the late twentieth century and pulls them toward the present—explicitly tracing continuity and unexpected divergence from trajectories established in the 1980s and 1990s. Essays straddle modern frontiers, including the temporal frontier between our unsettled past and uncertain future.
Looking at how powerful politicians, business leaders, and a diverse cast of activists used a thwarted Olympics to shape the state of Colorado and the city of Denver. Berg argues that hostility to the Olympics galvanized and empowered citizens in a major US city, with long-term ramifications for Colorado and political activism elsewhere.

From its rise in the 1830s to its pinnacle in the 1930s, the opium trade was a guiding force in the Chinese political economy. Opium money was inextricably bound up in local, national, and imperial finances, and the people who piloted the trade were integral to the fabric of Chinese society. Thilly narrates the dangerous lives and shrewd business operations of opium traffickers in southeast China, situating them within a global history of capitalism.
Explores how a new kind of international military figure emerged from, and exploited, the seventeenth century's momentous changes. Sutherland uncovers the influence of military entrepreneurs by examining their activities as not only commanders but also diplomats, natural philosophers, information brokers, clients, and subjects on the battlefield, as well as through strategic marital and family allegiances.

The first major study of its kind, this book shows— from a Zambian perspective—how Northern Rhodesia, then a British colony, organized and deployed human, military, and natural resources during the Second World War. New research and oral histories further demonstrate the war’s social and industrial impact on Zambia in the immediate postwar period.
Unpacked offers a critical, novel perspective on the Caribbean's now taken-for-granted desirability as a tourist's "paradise." Scott describes how the cultural and material history of US imperialism became the heart of modern Caribbean tourism. He also explores how advances in tropical medicine, perceptions of the tropical environment, and development of infrastructure and transportation networks opened a new playground for visitors.

This unprecedented study of nineteenth-century American merchant and whaling activity in the Indian Ocean shows how it shaped later US imperial incursions in the Pacific and Caribbean. Sailors’ journals and other primary sources reveal American influence on the period’s global commerce, illegal slaving, and environmental degradation.
Flooded Pasts examines a world famous, yet critically under-examined, event—UNESCO's 1960–80 International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia—to show how the project, its genealogy, and its aftermath not only propelled archaeology into the post-war world, but also helped to "recolonize" it.
