History of Slavery

SLAVERY AND ABOLITION

Gwyn Campbell, Suzanne Miers, and Joseph C. Miller, eds. Children in Slavery through the Ages “This anthology epitomizes the strengths of the new history of slavery … an emphasis on the actual experience of enslavement and on enslaved peoples as active agents with their own distinct voices.”— Steven Mintz The collected essays in Children in Slavery through the Ages fundamentally reconstruct our understanding of enslavement by exploring the often-ignored role of children in slavery and rejecting the tendency to narrowly equate slavery with the forced labor of adult males. The volume’s historical angle highlights many implications of child slavery by examining the variety of children’s roles — as manual laborers and domestic servants to court entertainers and eunuchs — and the worldwide regions in which the child slave trade existed.

Benjamin N. Lawrance and Richard L. Roberts, eds.

Chocolate Islands Cocoa, Slavery, and Colonial Africa “Higgs has combined careful academic research with the kind of skillful writing you’d expect in a good historical novel…. The book is strikingly relevant to today’s headlines. It is an excellent study for academics who want to know how to research at a professional level and then write well for the public, and it will strongly appeal to general readers.”— Book News “Higgs offers a well-researched examination of the dynamics of race, labor, and colonialism in the early part of the twentieth century.” — Booklist “Catherine Higgs writes about the chocolate islands with clarity and conviction, commanding the evidence while presenting an argument about the ‘dignity of labor’ with an elegance of style. In terms of presentation, research and structure, the book is a tour de force.”— David Birmingham, author of Portugal and Africa and Trade and Empire in the Atlantic, 1400 to 1600 Hardcover 978 0 8214 2006 5 $26.95 Electronic 978 0 8214 4422 1 $21.99

Trafficking in Slavery’s Wake Law and the Experience of Women and Children in Africa “Each of the chapters in Trafficking in Slavery’s Wake could stand as a solo article. However, the beauty of the collection is that the pieces say much more when grouped than they would as stand-alones. Patterns emerge. Continuities and discontinuities over time become apparent. Moreover, the contributors have clearly challenged each other to think in new ways.”— Walter Hawthorne, author of From Africa to Brazil: Culture, Identity, and an Atlantic Slave Trade, 1600–1830 Human trafficking is rapidly emerging as a core human rights issue for the twenty-first century. Trafficking in Slavery’s Wake is excellent reading for the researching, combating, and prosecuting of trafficking in women and children.

Between the Brown and the Red Nationalism, Catholicism, and Communism in Twentieth-Century Poland

The Borders of Integration Polish Migrants in Germany and the United States, 1870–1924

Hero of the Angry Sky The World War I Diary and Letters of David S. Ingalls, America’s First Naval Ace Hero of the Angry Sky draws on the unpublished diaries, correspondence, informal memoir, and other personal documents of the U.S. Navy’s only flying “ace” of World War I to tell his unique story.

THIS NEW SERIES provides a venue for scholars of war and society in areas now comprising the United States and Canada from the pre-colonial period to the present. The scope is broadly conceived to include: military histories of conflicts on the North American continent; studies of peace movements and pacifist attitudes in North America; biographies of individuals and groups from North America who fought around the world and returned from those wars; examinations of institutional, political, diplomatic, religious, cultural, economic, or environmental factors that affected warfare on the North American continent; comparative analyses of military conflicts in North America.

In this study of the relationship of nationalism, communism, authoritarianism, and religion in twentieth-century Poland, Mikołaj Kunicki shows how the country’s communist rulers tried to adapt communism to local traditions, particularly ethnocentric nationalism and Catholicism. Focusing on the political career of Bolesław Piasecki, a Polish nationalist politician who started his journey as a fascist before the war and ended it as a procommunist activist, Kunicki demonstrates that Polish Communists reinforced the ethnocentric self-definition of Polishness and prolonged the existence of the nationalist Right.

Congress and the Emergence of Sectionalism From the Missouri Compromise to the Age of Jackson

Congress and the Crisis of the 1850s

Michele Morrone and Geoffrey L. Buckley, eds. Foreword by Donald Edward Davis Afterword by Jedediah Purdy

“The essays are interesting, sophisticated, and nuanced explorations that have new things to say and new ways of thinking about the topics they discuss.”— The Journal of American History

During the long decade from 1848 to 1861 America was like a train speeding down the track, without an engineer or brakes. The new territories acquired from Mexico had vastly increased the size of the nation, but debate over their status — and more importantly the status of slavery within them — paralyzed the nation.

Contributors: Michael Les Benedict, Daniel Feller, Paul Finkelman, Robert P. Forbes, William W. Freehling, Tim Alan Garrison, Jan Lewis, Peter S. Onuf, Jenny B. Wahl.

This volume of new essays examines these issues, helping us better understand the failure of political leadership in the decade that led to the Civil War.

Charles M. Wiltse Michael J. Birkner, ed.

America’s Romance with the English Garden The 1890s saw a revolution in advertising. Cheap paper, faster printing, rural delivery, railroad shipping, and the new technology of chromolithography combined to pave the way for the first modern catalogs. The most prominent of these were seed and nursery catalogs with beautiful pictures of middle-class homes surrounded by sprawling lawns, lush plants, and the latest garden accessories — the quintessential English-style garden. America’s Romance with the English Garden is the story of tastemakers and homemakers, of savvy businessmen and a growing American middle class eager to buy their products.

The Collected Letters of Henry Northrup Castle Close friends of John Dewey, Jane Addams, and other leading Chicago Progressives, Henry N. Castle, the author of these often intimate letters, comments frankly on pivotal events affecting higher education, developments at Oberlin College, Hawaii (where the Castles lived), progressivism, and the general angst that many young intellectuals were experiencing in early modern America.

“Taifa is the first urban history to tackle nationalist politics in towns, an achievement made possible by Brennan’s grounding in two separate sets of secondary literature which gives his work a breadth that is rare in today’s monographs.”— Luise White, author of The Comforts of Home: Prostitution in Colonial Nairobi Taifa is a story of African intellectual agency, but it is also an account of how nation and race emerged out of the legal, social, and economic histories in one major city, Dar es Salaam.

“Despite the enormous richness of the literature on the history of religion in Africa, I can think of no other book which brings the insights of that literature to bear so directly and convincingly to the interpretation of modern political history.… This is a great book.”— Meghan Vaughan, University of Cambridge Invisible Agents shows how personal and deeply felt spiritual beliefs can inspire social movements and influence historical change. Conventional historiography concentrates on the secular, materialist, or moral sources of political agency. Instead, David M. Gordon argues, when people perceive spirits as exerting power in the visible world, these beliefs form the basis for individual and collective actions. Focusing on the history of the south-central African country of Zambia during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, his analysis invites reflection on political and religious realms of action in other parts of the world, and complicates the post-Enlightenment divide of sacred and profane.

The human rights movement in South Africa’s transition to a postapartheid democracy has been widely celebrated as a triumph for global human rights. It was a key aspect of the political transition which brought majority rule and democracy to South Africa. The country’s new constitution, its Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the moral authority of Nelson Mandela stand as exemplary proof of this achievement. Yet, less than a generation after the achievement of freedom, the status of human rights and constitutionalism in South Africa is uncertain.

This is the first history of epidemics in South Africa, lethal episodes that significantly shaped this society over three centuries. Focusing on five devastating diseases between 1713 and today — smallpox, bubonic plague, “Spanish influenza,” polio, and HIV/AIDS — the book probes their origins, their catastrophic courses, and their consequences in both the short and long terms.

The ANC Youth League

San Rock Art

Govan Mbeki (1910–2001) was a core leader of the African National Congress, the Communist Party, and the armed wing of the ANC during the struggle against apartheid. Drawing on exclusive interviews Colin Bundy did with Mbeki, careful analysis of his writings, and the range of scholarship about his life, this biography is personal, reflective, thoroughly researched, and eminently readable.

This brilliant little book tells the story of the African National Congress (ANC) Youth League from its origins in the 1940s to the present and the controversies over Julius Malema and his influence in contemporary youth politics. Glaser analyzes the ideology and tactics of its founders, some of whom (notably Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo) later became iconic figures in South African history.

San rock paintings, scattered over the range of southern Africa, are considered by many to be the very earliest examples of representational art. There are as many as 15,000 known rock art sites, created over the course of thousands of years up until the nineteenth century. There are possibly just as many still awaiting discovery.

Decades after independence for most African states, the struggle for decolonization is still incomplete, as demonstrated by the fact that Africa remains associated in many Western minds with chaos, illness, and disorder.
