CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS

March 2021 336pp 33 illus. 9780812252804 £54.00/ $65.00 HB

Marlene Laruelle argues that the charge of “fascism” has become a strategic narra�ve of the current world order. Laruelle closely analyzes accusa�ons of fascism toward Russia, soberly assessing both their origins and their accuracy. By labeling ideological opponents as fascist, regardless of their actual values or ac�ons, geopoli�cal rivals are able to frame their own vision of the world and claim the moral high ground.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PRESS

In Making the Miscellany Megan Heffernan charts the development of printed poetry in early modern England, showing how material prac�ces of organiza�on were dynamic responses to poe�c form and content. Her book argues for a literary history that is sensi�ve to the condi�ons of making and using early printed books.

The Apache Diaspora brings to life the stories of displaced Apaches and the kin from whom they were separated. Paul Conrad charts Apaches’ efforts to survive or return home from places as far-flung as Cuba and Pennsylvania, Mexico City and Montreal. 10

Although lowland Britain in 300 CE had been as Roman as any province in the empire, in the genera�ons on either side of 400, urban life, the economy, and the state collapsed. Marshalling a wealth of archaeological evidence, Robin Fleming charts this collapse, and its founda�onal role in making the world we characterize as early medieval.

Launched in 1609 as the greatest English merchant vessel of its era, the Trades Increase and nearly all who sailed it perished three years later on the far side of the world. This is the engrossing account of the ship’s tragic expedi�on and global capitalism at its hour of emergence.

Inspired by the reading and wri�ng habits of ci�zens leading up to the French Revolu�on, The Wri�ng Public is a compelling addi�on to the longrunning debate about the link between the Enlightenment and the poli�cal struggle that followed.

Kevin Dawson considers how enslaved Africans carried aqua�c skills—swimming, diving, boat making, even surfing—to the Americas. Undercurrents of Power not only chronicles the experiences of enslaved mari�me workers, but also traverses the waters of the Atlan�c repeatedly to trace and untangle cultural and social tradi�ons.

Crowning six decades of literary, rhetorical, and historical scholarship, Harry Berger, Jr., offers readers a provoca�ve and counterintui�ve reassessment of Plato’s engagement with democracy, balancing ideas such as speech-act theory with hard-nosed philology.

Examines the works of Arrian to show how the era’s historians responded to their sophis�c peers’ claims of authority and played a crucial role in theorizing the past at a �me when knowledge of history was central to defining Greek cultural iden�ty. 14
