Economic Equality and Direct Democracy in Ancient Athens Larry Patriquin, Department of Sociology, Social Welfare, and Criminal Justice Studies, Nipissing University, Ontario, Canada "This book offers a most useful and an original contribution to the field – the field being the very broad one of the interrelationship between 'ancient (Greek)' and 'modern' democracy, and the possible benefits for modern of studying ancient. It both engages with and takes forward the modern scholarly discussion, principally by redefining and refining the nature of 'equality' in the economic as opposed to the political sphere of ancient Athenian democracy." - Paul Cartledge, A.G. Leventis Senior Research Fellow, Clare College, Cambridge, UK This book argues that ancient democracy did not stop at the door of economic democracy, and that ancient Athens has much to tell us about the relationship between political equality and economic equality. Athenian democracy rested on a foundation of general economic equality, which enabled citizens to challenge their exclusion from politics.

Contents: 1. Introduction: The Importance of Athens * 2. Origins of the Polis * 3. How Athenian Democracy Worked * 4. Equality and Inequality * 5. Elite Critics of Popular Rule * 6. The End of Direct Democracy * 7. Conclusion: The Key Lesson for Contemporary Democracy

Jews and Christians in Thirteenth-Century France

The Medieval Motion Picture The Politics of Adaptation

Edited by Elisheva Baumgarten, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, Judah D. Galinsky, Bar Ilan University, Israel "This is a remarkable collection of articles which both deepens our understanding of problems long subjected to scrutiny and opens up entirely new vistas on Jewish-Christian relations in thirteenth-century France. [...] The editors brought together an amazing group of authors - and they have not disappointed." William Chester Jordan, Dayton-Stockton Professor of History, Princeton University, USA A period of great change for Europe, the thirteenthcentury was a time of both animosity and intimacy for Jewish and Christian communities. In this wide-ranging collection, scholars discuss the changing paradigms in the research and history of Jews and Christians in medieval Europe, discussing law, scholarly pursuits, art, culture, and poetry.

Contents: Introduction: Jews and Christians in Thirteenth-Century France; Elisheva Baumgarten and Judah D. Galinsky * PART I: LEARNING, LAW, AND SOCIETY * PART II: POLEMICS, PERSECUTIONS, AND MUTUAL PERCEPTIONS * PART III: CULTURAL EXPRESSIONS AND APPROPRIATIONS: ART, POETRY, AND LITERATURE

Edited by Margitta Rouse, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany, Andrew James. Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, Philipp Hinz "From Kurosawa's Ran to HBO's Game of Thrones, the essays in this theoretically sophisticated volume reveal the complex dialogic interplay of pre-modern and (post)modern temporalities." - Richard Utz, Chair and Professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Providing new and challenging ways of understanding the medieval in the modern and vice versa, this volume highlights how medieval aesthetic experience breathes life into contemporary cinema. Engaging with the subject of time and temporality, the essays examine the politics of adaptation and our contemporary entanglement with the medieval.

Voice and Voicelessness in Medieval Europe Edited by Irit Ruth Kleiman, Boston University, USA

Natanela Elias, Beit Berl College, Israel "Natanela Elias's The Gnostic Paradigm illuminates a little understood but often felt dimension of late medieval literature. Gnosticism is essential to Western culture and its shadow must be grasped by whoever seeks historical self-understanding.

Through careful examination of the spectral gnostic presence in Middle-English texts, this study reveals the wisdom of its hidden light, suggesting how much darker our world would be without it." - Nicola Masciandaro, Professor of English, Brooklyn College, CUNY, USA No study has been carried out examining the gnostic undercurrents in medieval England. For the first time, Natanela Elias investigates the existence of these gnostic traces, using prominent late medieval English literary works such as Piers Plowman and Confessio Amantis and ultimately shedding light on a previously overlooked religious dimension.

Joan de Valence

Reading Women in Late Medieval Europe

The Life and Influence of a Thirteenth-Century Noblewoman

Anne of Bohemia and Chaucer’s Female Audience

Linda E. Mitchell, University of Missouri—Kansas City, USA

Alfred Thomas, University of Illinois, USA "Alfred Thomas makes some important advances in our understanding of the affiliations between Bohemia and Britain in the later middle ages - a field of study attracting a rapid growth of interest.

This coherent and persuasive study will appeal not only to Chaucerians but also to those working on patronage, cultural transmission, literary influence, gender, saints' lives, and European literature, among many other topics. Alfred Thomas's connectivity with a range of ongoing debates is impressive." Peter Brown, Professor of English, University of Kent, UK

Noblewoman, heiress, widow, magnate, and sisterin-law to King Henry III, Joan de Valence survived and thrived through some of the most chaotic years of medieval English history. For the first time, Mitchell reaches into the archives to illuminate the story of this overlooked woman and, in turn, reveals new ways of thinking about medieval women.

Contents: Introduction: Writing Medieval Women’s Biographies * 1. Growing Up as a Marshal, Marriage, and Motherhood (1230–1258) * 2. War, Rebellion, and Recovery (1258–1285) * 3.

Although Chaucer is typically labeled as the ‘Father of English Literature,’ evidence shows that his work appealed to Europe and specifically European women. Rereading the Canterbury Tales, Thomas argues that Chaucer imagined Anne of Bohemia, wife of famed Richard II, as an ideal reader, an aspect that came to greatly affect his writing.

Consolation in Medieval Narrative Augustinian Authority and Open Form

9781137544193

Chad D. Schrock, Lee University, USA "Schrock demonstrates how Augustine's understanding of time and approach to Scriptural interpretation opened up a profoundly creative space for human self-reflection in the Middle Ages.

Combining criticism, philosophy, theology, and history in a dazzling piece of scholarship, Schrock's book functions as a moving piece of consolatory literature in its own right. A very important book by an outstanding scholar." - Ephraim Radner, Professor of Historical Theology, Wycliffe College at the University of Toronto, Canada and author of Hope among the Fragments: The Broken Church and its Engagements of Scripture Medieval writers such as Chaucer, Abelard, and Langland often overlaid personal story and sacred history to produce a distinct narrative form. The first of its kind, this study traces this widely used narrative tradition to Augustine's two great histories: Confessions and City of God. Contents: Introduction * 1. For the Time Being: Interpretive Consolation in Augustinian Time * 2. ‘Quanto minorem consideras’: Abelard’s Proportional Consolation * 3.

MEDIEVAL HISTORY The Uses of Space in Early Modern History Edited by Paul Stock, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK "This book is a very welcome intervention into the latest round of engagements between history and historical geography prompted by spatial and cultural turns across the humanities. By examining how far space is a fundamental dimension of both historical interpretation and of life in the past, these essays play an important part in fulfilling the project signalled by Michel Foucault when he wrote that 'A whole history remains to be written of spaces – which would at the same time be a history of powers … from the great strategies of geo-politics to the tiny tactics of the habitat.'" - Miles Ogborn, Professor of Geography, Queen Mary University of London, UK, and Editor of The Journal of Historical Geography While there is an growing body of work on space and place in many disciplines, less attention has been paid to how a spatial approach illuminates the societies and cultures of the past. Here, leading experts explore the uses of space in two respects: how space can be applied to the study of history, and how space was used at specific times.

EARLY MODERN HISTORY Bewitched and Bedeviled A Cognitive Approach to Embodiment in Early English Possession

Italian Academies and their Networks, 1525-1700

Kirsten C. Uszkalo, University of Alberta, Canada

From Local to Global

Narratives of possession have survived in early English medical and philosophical treatises. Using ideas derived from cognitive science, this study moves through the stages of possession and exorcism to describe how the social, religious, and medical were internalized to create the varied manifestations of demon possession in early modern England.

Simone Testa, British Library St. Pancras, UK

Contents: Introduction: Grounding Rage Possession * 1. Early Diagnostics * 2. Contemporary Theories * 3. Embodied Spirituality

Contents: 1. Representing Italian academies (1569-2006) * 2. Politics, Geography, and Diplomacy in Venetian Academies * 3. Italian Academies and their Facebooks * 4. The Italian Academic Movement and the Republic of Letters: Paths of Intellectual Networks

Italian Academies have typically been studied individually or in the context of specific cities, leaving an important lacuna in the scholarship on Italian culture and early modernity. Cutting across various disciplines, this volume traces the relationships of these Academies and explains how they prefigured networks like the République des letters.

NOW IN PAPERBACK

Edited by Johanna Harris, Lincoln College, University of Oxford, UK, Elizabeth Scott-Baumann, Wolfson College, University of Oxford, UK "The Intellectual Culture of Puritan Women provides fifteen fascinating vignettes of prominent female thinkers. The editors do not attempt an over-arching definition of a Puritan, but each individual chapter justifies its subject's claim to that title, building up a composite picture of a formidable godly femininity."

- David Hawkes, Times Literary Supplement This collection of essays by leading scholars in the field reveals the major contribution of puritan women to the intellectual culture of the early modern period. It demonstrates that women's roles within puritan and broader communities encompassed translating and disseminating key texts, producing an impressive body of original writing.

The US-Mexico Border in American Cold War Film Romance, Revolution, and Regulation

Everyday Life in Mass Dictatorship

Stephanie Fuller, Independent Scholar, UK Through an analysis of Cold War Era films including Border Incident, Where Danger Lives, and Touch of Evil, Stephanie Fuller illustrates how cinema across genres developed an understanding of what the U.S.-Mexico border meant within the American cultural imaginary and the ways in which it worked to produce the border.

Collusion and Evasion Edited by Alf Lüdtke, Universität Erfurt, Germany Oppression and violence are often cited as the pivotal aspects of modern dictatorships, but it is the collusion of large majorities that enable these regimes to function. The desire for a better life and a powerful national, if not imperial community provide the basis for the many forms of people's cooperation explored in this volume.

Britain’s Last Religious Revival?

A Social History of Student Volunteering Britain and Beyond, 1880-1980 Georgina Brewis, Institute of Education, University of London, UK "Georgina Brewis' study of student volunteering is both illuminating and rich in detail. We move from university settlements in Edwardian slums to charity rags, to concern with unemployment and internationalism between the wars, and finally to the 'Ban the Bomb' and anti-apartheid protests of the fifties and sixties. This book brings together youthful idealism, social and political engagement, and the history of universities in an original and insightful way." - Carol Dyhouse, Research Professor of History, University of Sussex, UK Using a wide range of student testimony and oral history, Georgina Brewis sets in international, comparative context a onehundred year history of student voluntarism and social action at UK colleges and universities, including such causes as relief for victims of fascism in the 1930s and international development in the 1960s.

Quantifying Belonging, Behaving, and Believing in the Long 1950s Clive D. Field, University of Birmingham, UK "The 1950s are disputed territory in Britain's religious history. No decade has been interpreted in such contradictory ways. Writing with characteristic clarity and thoroughness, Field has now made a major contribution to the debate." - Hugh McLeod, University of Birmingham, UK This is a major contribution to scholarly debates on the chronology and nature of secularization in modern Britain. Combining historical and social scientific insights, it analyses a range of statistical evidence for the 'long 1950s', testing (and largely rejecting) Callum Brown's claims that there was a religious resurgence during this period.

Purinton, Professor of English, Texas Tech University, USA Examining chameleonic identities as seen in theatrical performances and literary texts during the Romantic period, this study explores cultural attitudes toward imposture and how it reveals important and muchdebated issues about this time period. Brewer shows chameleonism evoked anxieties about both social instability and British selfhood.

BRITAIN AND IRELAND Adolescence in Modern Irish History Edited by Catherine Cox, University College Dublin, Republic of Ireland, Susannah Riordan, School of History and Archives, University College Dublin, Republic of Ireland

UK Monetary Policy from Devaluation to Thatcher, 1967-82 Duncan Needham, University of Cambridge, UK This book charts the course of monetary policy in the UK from 1967 to 1982. It shows how events such as the 1967 devaluation, the collapse of Bretton Woods, the stagflation of the 1970s, and the IMF loan of 1976 all shaped policy. It shows that the 'monetarist' experiment of the 1980s was based on a fundamental misreading of 1970s monetary policy.

This edited collection is the first to address the topic of adolescence in Irish history. It brings together established and emerging scholars to examine the experience of Irish young adults from the 'affective revolution' of the early nineteenth century to the emergence of the teenager in the 1960s.

Robert Hyndman’s toe: romanticism, schoolboy politics and the affective revolution in late Georgian Belfast; Jonathan Wright * 2. ‘A sudden and complete revolution in the female’: female adolescence and the medical profession in post-Famine Ireland; Ann Daly * 3.

BRITAIN AND IRELAND Law and Government in England during the Long Eighteenth Century

NOW IN PAPERBACK

From Consent to Command David Lemmings, University of Adelaide, Australia "This is an impressive work of scholarship. Lemmings offers an analysis of the changing nature of criminal law and civil litigation, and contextualizes this within an exploration of the effect of the new parliament after the Glorious Revolution. He describes a process that saw government grow to dominate society in a way that it had never done before; thus 'in the eighteenth century parliament became Leviathan' (p.128). Parliament, released from the restrictions imposed upon it by the predilections of previous monarchs, flexed its muscles and passed thousands of individual acts that affected the lives of millions.

The emphasis was on control, so the 1714 Riot Act, the infamous Waltham Black Act in 1723 and the 1718 Transportation Act, all of which addressed the problems of crime and civil order (or disorder)...Lemmings has written a challenging book, one that historians of the period need to engage with." - Drew Gray, University of Northampton, UK Over the long eighteenth century English governance was transformed by large adjustments to the legal instruments and processes of power. This book documents and analyses these shifts and focuses upon the changing relations between legal authority and the English people.

From Protest to Pragmatism The Unionist government and North-South relations from 1959-72 David McCann, Independent Scholar, UK "Not much has been written about the political/ diplomatic dance that was taking place between Belfast and Dublin from the late 1950s to the prorogation of Stormont in 1972, so this is both a useful and interesting addition to the literature. It tends to be assumed that the relationship between Northern Ireland and the South was always a frosty one until fairly recently yet, as McCann points out, there was a noticeable and very significant thaw between 1963 and early 1968…From Protest to Pragmatism is worth reading, particularly for those who believe that there were never any moments when an effort was made to improve relations."- Newsletter How do two ideologically opposed governments co-operate? The Unionist government struggled to answer this question during the sixties and seventies.

Italian Birds of Passage The Diaspora of Neapolitan Musicians in New York Simona Frasca, University Federico II, Italy "Frasca combines all her talents in this thorough history and criticism of the role the Neapolitan song has played in shaping Italian and American cultures. She has done some great work digging up the facts and stories behind the songs we all know and love. But more than reveal the lives of those who composed, performed, produced and distributed such classics as 'O Sole Mio' and 'Core 'ngrato,' Frasca provides keen interpretations of the music's form and content. Illustrated with period photos, historical portraits, lyrics, playbills and posters, Birds of Passage, brings new insights of the Neapolitan song and will no doubt be the basis for future studies and analyses of this phenomenon."

The Literature of Waste Material Ecopoetics and Ethical Matter Susan Signe Morrison, Texas State University, USA "An unparalleled work of literary and cultural criticism, The Literature of Waste brings together the new materialism, ecocriticism and environmental ethics to articulate the transformative and transtemporal project of waste studies. Wide ranging, lucidly composed, and original, the book inspires and provokes. With its emphasis on aesthetics, ethics, literature, and community, The Literature of Waste makes a strong argument for why the humanities matter - and why the matter the humanities explores must also include waste." - Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, Professor of English, George Washington University, USA Tracing the material and metaphoric waste through the western canon, Morrison disrupts traditional perceptions to understand how we theorize, manage, and are implicated in waste. A major contribution to the growing field of Waste Studies, this book urges the reader to see disposal as the creation of waste literature itself.

Edited by Deborah Amberson, University of Florida, USA, Elena Past, Wayne State University, USA "Animals and the Posthuman in Italian Literature and Film is an elegant and musing collection on what it means to be alive and thinking today. The volume contains a wonderful preface by Italian philosopher, Roberto Marchesini , who sets out the stakes of the work beautifully. Indeed, it has been a long time since I've come across such a powerful combination of erudition, cutting-edge readings of continential philosophy, and, though this may seem surprising given the title, humanity." - Timothy Campbell, Professor of Italian Studies and Chair of Romance Studies, Cornell University, USA This bracing volume collects work on Italian writers and filmmakers that engage with nonhuman animal subjectivity. These contributions address 3 major strands of philosophical thought: perceived borders between man and animals, historical and fictional crises, and human entanglement with the nonhuman and material world.

Exploring the status of African-Italian mulattoes and Levantines in the literature and cinema of the Mussolini's era, Rosetta Giuliani Caponetto's book powerfully unveils the haunting presence of 'impurity' in modern Italian cultural imagination and national identity. This book is a must read for all lovers of Levantinism and other forms of cultural hybridity!" Gil Z. Hochberg, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature, University of California, Los Angeles, USA Under Italian Fascism, African-Italian mulattoes and white Italians living in Egypt posed a particular threat to the pursuit of a homogenous national identity. This book examines novels and films of the period, showing that their attempts at stigmatization were self-undermining, forcing audiences to reassess their collective identity.

Simon Levis Sullam, Ca’ Foscari, University of Venice, Italy "Simon Levis Sullam has brilliantly recast the great nineteenth-century figure of Mazzini, emphasizing the authoritarian elements in his thinking and their connection to twentieth-century Italian fascism.

His book illuminates the roots of fascist ideology while also offering us a compelling portrait of the man in his own times. Readers concerned with contemporary Italy's failure to develop a democratic civil religion and a viable sense of nationhood will also find much to ponder here." - Walter L.

WESTERN EUROPEAN HISTORY Lycanthropy in German Literature

The Science of Beauty Culture and Cosmetics in Modern Germany, 1750–1930

Peter Arnds, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Lycanthropy in German Literature argues that as a symbol of both power and parasitism, the human wolf of the Germanic Middle Ages is iconic to the representation of the persecution of undesirables in the German cultural imagination from the early modern age to the post-war literary scene.

Annelie Ramsbrock, Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung Potsdam, Germany Covering a wide swath of German history from the Enlightenment to National Socialism, this book shows that ideals of beauty have always been closely related to a society's conception of itself, from organ transplants to the manufacture of cosmetics. At the same time, body modification has also presented new ways to subvert the social order.

Michael Harney, University of Texas, Austin, USA "In this elegantly written book, Michael Harney invites us to reread a vast corpus of texts challenging often taken-for-granted knowledges and assumptions on travel literature. A product of meticulous research and based on a wide range of works, genres, and disciplines, drawing together literature and history, Michael Harney offers new insights and fresh perspectives on the issues of race, caste, and indigeneity in Medieval Iberia. Lucid and provocative but dispassionate and evenhanded at the same time, this book is not just a welcome addition to the growing bibliography on travel and travellers, but also an essential and masterful contribution to the study of Medieval and Early Modern Hispanic literatures." - Aníbal A. Biglieri, Professor of Spanish Medieval Literature, University of Kentucky, USA The origins of present-day Ibero-American racialization can be traced to the period when Europe straddled the boundary between the Middle Ages and the era of New World exploration. Focusing on themes of race, caste, and indigeneity in travel narratives, Harney explores this already internationalized world of latemedieval and early-modern Europe.

RUSSIAN, SOVIET, AND EAST EUROPEAN HISTORY Race and Racism in Russia

RUSSIAN, SOVIET, AND EAST EUROPEAN HISTORY

Nikolay Zakharov, Södertörn University, Sweden Race and Racism in Russia identifies the striking changes in racial ideas, practices, exclusions and violence in Russia since the 1990s, revealing how 'Russianness' has become a synonym for racial whiteness. This groundbreaking book provides new theories and substantive insights into race and ethnicity in a Russian context.

Maximilian Voloshin’s Poetic Legacy and the Post-Soviet Russian Identity Marianna S. Landa, University of Maryland, College Park, USA "Landa's reconstruction of the poet Maximilian Voloshin's world is unforgettable. It derives its power from masterful analysis of the complex relationship between Voloshin's poetry, historical events, and reader reception - both in the tumultuous years surrounding the Revolutions of 1917, and the cataclysmic decades since the USSR ended in 1991. The result is a bold meditation on Russian identity." - Glennys Young, Professor of History and International Studies, University of Washington, USA Famed and outspoken Russian poet, Maximilian Voloshin's notoriety has grown steadily since his slow release from Soviet censorship. For the first time, Landa showcases his vast poetic contributions, proving his words to be an overlooked solution both to the political and cultural turmoil engulfing the Soviet Union in the early twentieth century.

Sevan G. Terzian, University of Florida, USA "Why teach science? As Sevan G. Terzian demonstrates in this smart little book, America's answers changed dramatically during the first half of the twentieth century. In their earliest incarnations, science fairs had a clear civic rationale: by promoting scientific ways of thinking and knowing, the fairs would also produce a more informed and critical democracy. But their purpose shifted during World War II and the Cold War, when science was enlisted to protect America's economic and military strength on the international stage. Into the present, our leaders have continued to tout science education as a key to national prosperity and global competitiveness. But science could also help revive our moribund civic life, Terzian reminds us, if we paused to reflect on its rich past - and, most of all, on its radical possibilities." - Jonathan Zimmerman, Professor of Education and History, New York University, USA Sevan G.

In the US, the image of the nurturing Mammy was most prevalent during the 19th-century black domestic servant boom, while the buffoonish Bridget was popular when Irish immigrants held domestic jobs. This study traces the circulation of these images from the 1830s through the 1920s in cultural products such as cartoons, literature, and advertising.

LATIN AMERICAN HISTORY The American Civil War and the Hollywood War Film

LATIN AMERICAN HISTORY

John Trafton, University of St Andrews, UK

Memory, Subjectivities, and Representation

The American Civil War was viscerally documented through panorama paintings, photography, and soldier testimonials, leaving behind representational principles that would later inform the development of war film genre codes. This book explores how each of these representational modes cemented different formulas for providing war stories with pathos.

Education and the State in Modern Peru Primary Schooling in Lima, 1821 - c. 1921

NOW IN PAPERBACK

G. Antonio Espinoza, Department of History, Virginia Commonwealth University, USA "Espinoza places patrimonialism and patronage at the center of elite efforts to establish a staterun education system, and simultaneously demonstrates how trends in education reflected broader dynamics of Peruvian nation-building. The work's century-long time frame allows Espinoza to effectively trace the shaky transition from colonialism to independence, the vicissitudes of creating a modern society and economy, and the eventual stabilization of an industrializing nation in the twentieth century . . . This book is an important contribution to both the history of education in Latin America and to the history of early national Peru." The American Historical Review Espinoza's work illuminates how education was the site of ideological and political struggle in Peru during its early years as an independent state. Spanning 100 years and discussing both urban and rural education, it shows how school funding, curricula, and governance became part of the cultural process of state-building in Peru.

MIDDLE EASTERN HISTORY Social Movements in Egypt and Iran

Meals in Early Judaism

Tara Povey, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK

Social Formation at the Table Edited by Susan Marks, New College of Florida, USA, Hal Taussig, Union Theological Seminary, USA "Meals in Early Judaism offers a much needed evaluation of the early Jewish meal, a social and religious institution whose importance in late antique Judaism it successfully demonstrates. The book's contribution lies not only in its thorough investigation of the meal's ritual structures and literary traditions, but also in the unique theoretical framework it develops and the broad methodological approach it applies." - Gil P. Klein, Assistant Professor, Theological Studies, Loyola Marymount University, USA

This book analyses the reform movement in Iran and the Egyptian opposition movement since the early 1990s in their historical contexts. It argues that the contemporary movements seen on the streets of the regions today represent the culmination of over twenty years of mobilisation by social movements.

Liberal Barbarism The European Destruction of the Palace of the Emperor of China

9781137463807

NOW IN PAPERBACK

Erik Ringmar, Shanghai Jiaotong University, China "A fascinating, eminently readable and important study of a key moment in the West's relationship with China: the plunder and burning of Yuanmingyuan Palace in 1860 by French and British troops. The immediate causes were expressions of European incomprehension and insecurity when face-to-face with Chinese civilization. The systemic cause was a clash of incompatible conceptions of order, between European sovereignty and Chinese hierarchy. The two conceptions could not be combined and the Chinese were compelled to give way to the Europeans. By focusing on performance, on how the occupying forces sought to present themselves to Chinese and Europeans back home, Ringmar teases out the motives behind their barbaric behavior and some of its longer-term effects on China." - Ned Lebow, James O. Freedman Presidential Professor of Government, Emeritus, Dartmouth College, USA Erik Ringmar elucidates how Europeans spread ‘civilization’ by barbarian means in the 1860 destruction of the palace of the emperor of China.

Empire, Migration, and Social Movements

Yeow-Tong Chia, The University of Sydney, Australia "This book provides an insightful analysis of policies to create a sense of national identity in Singapore.

Through an analysis of policy documents and interviews, Chia documents changing conceptions of citizenship, and citizenship education. Chia notes that while state formation founded on economic growth has been successful, that growth and the state's distribution policies have made the fostering of an authentic and deep rooted sense of citizenship more problematic in the new century. A valuable addition to the Asian citizenship literature in particular, and citizenship literature globally."

- S. Gopinathan, Adjunct Professor, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore, Singapore This book explores the role of education in the formation of the Singapore developmental state. The book provides a historical study of citizenship education in Singapore, whereby a comparative study of history, civics and social studies curricula, and the politics and policies that underpin them are examined.

This volume looks at the history of Japan from a transnational perspective. It brings to the fore the interconnectedness of Japan's history with the wider AsianPacific region and the world. This interconnectedness is examined in the volume through the themes of empire, migration, and social movements.

Writing Australian Unsettlement Modes of Poetic Invention 1796-1945 Michael Farrell, Slope Magazine, Australia "A brilliantly original piece of critical and scholarly work, Writing Australian Unsettlement is intellectually adventurous, investigating and challenging foundational assumptions of the literary and postcolonial fields. Drawing from an eclectic range of source material and theorists, Michael Farrell makes a major contribution to the rethinking of the postcolonial paradigm as it is currently happening around the globe." - Philip Mead, Professor of Australian Literature, University of Western Australia From letters to visual poems to even tree carvings, this book examines Australian literature by close reading poetry from the 18th century and on. Michael Farrell's vast collage of material and analysis presents a unique and vivid perspective of colonial life, offering an unsettled space in which to rethink Australian writing.

AFRICAN HISTORY The United Red Army on Screen

AFRICAN HISTORY

Cinema, Aesthetics and The Politics of Memory Christopher Perkins, University of Edinburgh, UK "In this important treatment of Japanese cinematic memory texts dealing with the United Red Army, Chris Perkins brings together politics, aesthetics and history to offer a new interpretation of how the events surrounding the United Red Army's descent into violence have been represented and read as an ongoing trauma for Japanese society, and for the Left in particular. The dominant aesthetic of politicised and gendered kyōki (madness) surrounding the URA creates through its universalism a 'trap'; violence and madness appear to be the natural ends of all left wing politics. Perkins traces the emergence of this dominant aesthetic alongside resistant processes. In doing so, he offers a new and challenging take on the generalised 'trouble with history' in Japan - the desire to suppress the past and the simultaneous searching in history for political relevance for the present condition." - Mark Pendleton, University of Sheffield, UK This book investigates how films made about the URA since the 1990s have engaged with, reproduced and contested cultural memories of the organisation, discussing how directors have addressed questions of narrativization, trauma, intergenerational connection, and political subjectivity as they engage in the politics of cultural memory on screen.

Contents: 1. The URA, politics and the aesthetics of memory * 2. The Japanese New Left and the URA * 3. A spectacle of sex, violence and madness * 4. Horror, sympathy and empathy * 5. The Image, Seeing and the Siege * 6. Conclusion

AFRICAN HISTORY Creating Postcolonial Literature African Writers and British Publishers

NOW IN PAPERBACK

Caroline Davis, Oxford Brookes University, UK CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2014 "Not since Graham Huggan's The Postcolonial Exotic has there been a book that so comprehensively examines the ways in which international publishers attempt to shape the literary expectations of readers of African literatures. This book will inspire postcolonial scholars to research the material conditions in which authors work, and to expand the framework of literary scholarship beyond 'close reading' to ask questions about how African literatures were brought to print in the mid- to late- twentieth century." - Professor Steph Newell, Co-Director (Centre for Colonial and Postcolonial Studies), University of Sussex, UK Using case studies, this book explores the publishing of African literature, addressing the construction of literary value, relationships between African writers and British publishers, and importance of the African market. It analyses the historical, political and economic conditions framing the emergence of postcolonial literature.

British Burma in the New Century 1895-1918 Stephen L Keck, Emirates Diplomatic Academy, United Arab Emirates British Burma in the New Century draws upon neglected but talented colonial authors to portray Burma between 1895 and 1918, which was the apogee of British governance. These writers, most of them 'Burmaphiles' wrote against widespread misperceptions about Burma.

British Imperialism and India's Afghan Frontier, 1918-1948 Brandon Marsh, Bridgewater College, USA "At the dawn of the twentieth century, British grand strategists believed that 'in all the British Empire there is but one land frontier on which war-like preparations must ever be ready. It is the north-west frontier of India'. In Ramparts of Empire, Brandon Marsh examines the subsequent push-and-pull between such seemingly immutable assumptions on the one hand, and new thinking born of new times on the other. This cogent and timely study demonstrates that events on British India's Afghan frontier developed, and must be understood, in the frame of 'all-India' politics, however much colonial officials imagined the region to be a place apart from the rest of South Asia. Policy-minded readers will find an instructive precedent to twenty-first century debates—over autonomy versus integration, and over containment versus counter-insurgency, in the borderlands of Afghanistan and Pakistan." -Peter John Brobst, Associate Professor of History, Ohio University This cultural and political study examines British perceptions and policies on India's Afghan Frontier between 1918 and 1948 and the impact of these on the local Pashtun population, India as a whole, and the decline of British imperialism in South Asia.

Subverting Empire Deviance and Disorder in the British Colonial World Edited by Will Jackson, University of Leeds, UK, Emily Manktelow, University of Kent, UK Across their empire, the British spoke ceaselessly of deviants – of undesirables, ne'er do wells, petit-tyrants and rogues.

The ‘Civilising Mission’ of Portuguese Colonialism, 1870-1930 Miguel Bandeira Jerónimo, Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon, Portugal "Miguel Bandeira Jerónimo provides a much-needed addition to the English-language literature on the Portuguese Empire and Portuguese Africa. His book is a detailed and thoughtful reconstruction of the long-term attempt by the Portuguese government and intellectuals associated with it to represent labor policy in Africa as something it was not, an effort to bring civilization to backward people.

Avoiding the traps of treating Portugal as either an outlier among European powers or just another instance of a generic colonialism, he gives us a fine study of a coercive labor regime, an international movement against it, and an attempted defense of a Portuguese form of empire." – Frederick Cooper, Yale University, USA This book provides an historical, critical analysis of the doctrine of 'civilising mission' in Portuguese colonialism in the crucial period from 1870 to 1930.

Exploring international contexts and transnational connections, this 'civilising mission' is analysed and assessed by examining the employment and distribution of African manpower.

IMPERIAL AND POSTCOLONIAL HISTORY The Ends of European Colonial Empires Cases and Comparisons Edited by Miguel Bandeira Jerónimo, Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon, Portugal, António Costa Pinto, Lisbon University, Portugal "In this collection two ambitious Portuguese scholars assemble an impressive cast of contributors to rethink the demise - or reconfiguration - of European power in Africa. Eschewing morality plays and polemics for historical analysis, the authors add nuance and complexity to the decolonization, the most important phenomenon of 20th century history - making their book essential reading for the growing number of students interested in this crucial topic." – David C. Engerman, Brandeis University, USA This volume provides a multidimensional assessment of the diverse ends of the European colonial empires, addressing different geographies, taking into account diverse chronologies of decolonization, and evaluating the specificities of each imperial configuration under appreciation (Portuguese, Belgian, French, British, Dutch).

Colonial Switzerland

Indigenous Communities and Settler Colonialism Land Holding, Loss and Survival in an Interconnected World Edited by Zoë Laidlaw, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK, Alan Lester, University of Sussex, UK "Though the restless mobility at the heart of 'settler' colonialism is well known, its indigenous histories have been comparatively invisible in the British empire context. As this wide-ranging collections shows, indigenous perseverance happened on the move. Taken together, the essays remind us that dispossession required flexible responses at multiple scales and speeds. They urge us to think of the polycentric, networked histories made visible here not as simply as a static archive, but as the dynamic grounds for thinking new kinds of indigenous futures as well." - Antoinette Burton, University of Illinois, USA The new world created through Anglophone emigration in the 19th century has been much studied. But there have been few accounts of what this meant for the Indigenous populations. This book shows that Indigenous communities tenaciously held land in the midst of dispossession, whilst becoming interconnected through their struggles to do so.

Alex Sutton, University of St Andrews, UK "This study combines a broad approach to modern imperialism with detailed, archive-based analysis of the Malayan case. By doing so it offers important new insights into the complex relations between financial and political power in the dying days of the formal British Empire" – Jim Tomlinson, University of Glasgow, UK The Political Economy of Imperial Relations offers a much needed historical and theoretical intervention into the relationship between Britain and Malaya after the Second World War.

Anna Winterbottom, University of Sussex, UK "With this dazzling work, Anna Winterbottom establishes herself as one of the leading historians of science, medicine and scholarship in cross-cultural perspective and points the way forward to global social histories of knowledge. Combining exquisite erudition with remarkable sensitivity to both the violence and contingency of colonial encounters, she transforms our understanding of the early English East India Company's South and East Asian entanglements, leading us beyond company archives out into the worlds of go-betweens and interlopers who trafficked in hybrid knowledge made by the very process of encounter. [...] This stunning debut announces a brilliant talent and makes major contributions to the study of science, medicine and scholarship, South and East Asia, and global early modernity." – James Delbourgo, Rutgers University, USA Hybrid Knowledge in the Early East India Company World presents a new reading of the English East India Company 1660-1720. It shows how innovative works – covering natural history, ethnography, theology, linguistics, medicine, and agriculture - were created amid early modern struggles for supremacy in Asia, the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic.

George Anderson Professor of Mission and Cultures, the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, USA. In Kerala, Vakkom Moulavi motivated Muslims to embrace modernity, especially modern education, in order to reap maximum benefit. In this process, he initiated numerous religious reforms.

Historic Engagements with Occidental Cultures, Religions, Powers Edited by Anne R. Richards, Interdisciplinary Studies Department, Kennesaw State University, USA, Iraj Omidvar, Southern Polytechnic State University, USA "This book significantly contributes to our understanding of the history of colonial encounters and of East-West interactions by redirecting focus to the cultural and religious perspectives on the West recorded by visitors from Russia, Persia, the Ottoman court, Andalusia, Egypt, India, and China. These fascinating case studies provide a treasure house of insights into how imperial Europe and democratic America have, for centuries, appeared to visitors from eastern lands in surprising and sometimes startling ways." - Gerald MacLean, author of The Rise of Oriental Travel (2004) and Looking East (2007) This book explores centuries of power relations and imperial and civilizing rhetorics, overarching themes highlighted in these infrequently heard accounts by eastern travelers to the West. Considered in depth are evolutions in mental frameworks and practices that led to the emergence of anticolonial consciousness and strategies of protest.

Edited by Claire McLisky, Daniel Midena, Karen Vallgårda, all at University of Copenhagen, Denmark This book explores the ways in which emotions were conceptualised and practised in Christian mission contexts from the 17th-20th centuries. The authors show how emotional practices such as prayer, tears, and Methodist 'shouting', and feelings such as pity, joy and frustration, shaped relationships between missionaries and prospective converts.

GLOBAL AND TRANSNATIONAL HISTORY

Modern Slavery The Margins of Freedom Julia O’Connell Davidson, University of Nottingham, UK "Passionately written, brilliantly researched and replete with powerfully logical analysis, Julia O'Connell book should be required reading for anyone claiming leadership in today's 'new abolitionist movement.' Modern Slavery and the Margins of Freedom establishes beyond dispute that today's self-described antislavery movement fails to address the fundamental realities of what slavery actually is and what is driving its rapid expansion all over the globe. Why, the book asks, do today's abolitionists focus so narrowly on certain forms of enslavement while utterly ignoring so many other equally heinous practices? The deeply disturbing answers to this question demand that today's abolitionists reexamine our beliefs and revise our basic assumptions." - James Brewer Stewart, Founder, Historians Against Slavery and James Wallace Professor of History Emeritus, Macalester College, USA Providing a unique critical perspective to debates on slavery, this book brings the literature on transatlantic slavery into dialogue with research on informal sector labour, child labour, migration, debt, prisoners, and sex work in the contemporary world in order to challenge popular and policy discourse on modern slavery.

Rivalry for Trade in Tea and Textiles

The Imperialism of French Decolonisaton

The English and Dutch East India companies (1700-1800) Chris Nierstrasz, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands

French Policy and the Anglo-American Response in Tunisia and Morocco

The rivalry for trade in tea and textiles between the English and Dutch East India companies is very much a global history. This trade is strongly connected to emblematic events such as the opening of Western trade with China, the Boston Tea Party, the establishment of British Empire in Bengal and the Industrial Revolution.

Ryo Ikeda, Kansai Gaidai Unviversity, Japan This book examines French motivations behind the decolonisation of Tunisia and Morocco and the intraWestern Alliance relationships. It argues that changing French policy towards decolonisation brought about the unexpectedly quick process of independence of dependencies in the post-WWII era.

GLOBAL AND TRANSNATIONAL HISTORY Local Memories in a Nationalizing and Globalizing World

A Comparative History of Commerce and Industry, Volume I

Edited by Marnix Beyen, University of Antwerp, Belgium, Brecht Deseure, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Belgium

Four Paths to an Industrialized World

In historical studies, 'collective memory' is most often viewed as the product of nationalizing strategies carried out by political élites in the hope to create homogeneous nation-states. In contrast, this book asserts that collective memories develop out of a never-ending, triangular negotiation between local, national and transnational actors.

A Comparative History of Commerce and Industry, Volume I offers a subjective review of how the cultural, social and economic institutions of commerce and industry evolved in industrialized nations to produce the institution we now know as business enterprise.

POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC HISTORY A History of Fair Trade in Contemporary Britain From Civil Society Campaigns to Corporate Compliance Matthew Anderson, University of Portsmouth, UK "In this engagingly written and nuanced appreciation of fair trade in Britain, Matthew Anderson provocatively challenges us to look beyond the individual and see the lineages of historically rooted collective consumption. As only a true historian can do, Anderson offers us fresh insights and a rigorous grounding that is bound to be of great interest for practitioners and scholars alike." – Gavin Fridell, Saint Mary's University, Canada This book offers an original contribution to the empirical knowledge of the development of Fair Trade that goes beyond the anecdotal accounts to challenge and analyse the trading practices that shaped the Fair Trade model. Fair Trade represented a new approach to global trade, corporate social responsibility and consumer politics.

Fascism, Aviation and Mythical Modernity Fernando Esposito, Universität Tübingen, Germany "In its fascinating investigation of the cult of aviation under Mussolini and Hitler, Fascism, Aviation and Mythic Modernity demonstrates the extraordinary synthesis of technological hypermodernity with heroic palingenetic myth which pervaded the two regimes. Its blend of impeccable scholarship with sophisticated conceptualization should convince even the most blinkered 'empiricists' that, far from being anti-modern, inter-war fascism represented in its own way a profoundly modernist response to the crisis of liberal capitalist civilization." – Professor Roger Griffin, Oxford Brookes University, UK Flying and the pilot were significant metaphors of fascism's mythical modernity. Fernando Esposito traces the changing meanings of these highly charged symbols from the air show in Brescia, to the sky above the trenches of the First World War to the violent ideological clashes of the interwar period.

Shin Kanemaru (1914-1996) served as a key power broker at the national level in Japan from the 1970s until the early 1990s. He was at the heart of the '1955 system' of conservative political rule. Though never Prime Minister himself, he controlled or strongly influenced the administrations of five Japanese Prime Ministers.

De-Stalinising Eastern Europe The Rehabilitation of Stalin's Victims after 1953 Edited by Kevin McDermott, Sheffield Hallam University, UK, Matthew Stibbe, Sheffield Hallam University, UK "Scholars have written extensively about Stalinism, yet far less of what happened to the victimized people after the dictator's death. In this state of the art and sensitive collection of essays, leading specialists offer sobering glimpses of the so-called post-Stalin thaw. These studies are a sequel to those in the editors' Stalinist Terror in Eastern Europe.

Both volumes should make perfect textbooks for graduate and undergraduate studies, though they deserve to reach an audience well beyond academia." - Robert Gellately, Earl Ray Beck Professor of History, Florida State University, USA This unique volume examines how and to what extent former victims of Stalinist terror from across the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe were received, reintegrated and rehabilitated following the mass releases from prisons and labour camps which came in the wake of Stalin's death in 1953 and Khrushchev's reforms in the subsequent decade.

GENOCIDE AND HOLOCAUST STUDIES The Holocaust Memorial Museum

The Holocaust and French Historical Culture, 1945–65

Sacred Secular Space Avril Alba, University of Sydney, Australia

Johannes Heuman, Uppsala University, Sweden

The Holocaust Memorial Museum reveals and traces the transformation of ancient Jewish symbols, rituals, archetypes and narratives deployed in these sites.

Demonstrating how cloaking the 'secular' history of the Holocaust in sacred garb, memorial museums generate redemptive yet conflicting visions of the meaning and utility of Holocaust memory.

Paris was home to one of the key European initiatives to document and commemorate the Holocaust, the Centre de documentation juive contemporaine.

By analysing the earliest Holocaust narratives and their reception in France, this study provides a new understanding of the institutional development of Holocaust remembrance in France after the War.

Places of Memory The Case of the House of the Wannsee Conference Katie Digan, NIOD Netherlands Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, The Netherlands "This book is not about just one case - the house of the Wannsee Conference - but raises fundamental questions about the axiomatic but often implicit concepts, such as space, place and authenticity, which determine our view of memory sites in general. We get a bright and frank account by a historian who dares to cross disciplinary borders and is determined to move beyond the merely descriptive level, in order to thoroughly understand what it at stake in our changing and often puzzling relation to 'places of memory'. Warmly recommended." - Dr. Berber Bevernage, Ghent University, Belgium Places of Memory examines the post-war history of the site where the 1942 Wannsee Conference was held.

DIPLOMATIC AND MILITARY HISTORY Citizen Soldiers and the Key to the Bastille Julia Osman, Mississippi State University, USA

The Glubb Reports: Glubb Pasha and Britain’s Empire Project in the Middle East 1920-1956

Showcasing French participation in the Seven Years' War and the American Revolution, this book shows the French army at the heart of revolutionary, social, and cultural change. Osman argues that efforts to transform the French army into a citizen army before 1789 prompted and helped shape the French Revolution.

Tancred Bradshaw, Independent Scholar, UK The Glubb Reports studies papers written by General Sir John Glubb, the long-serving British commander of the Jordanian Arab Legion. It covers issues such as the role of tribes and desert control, the impact of Palestine, the Arab Legion's role in the first Arab-Israeli war, the expansion of the Arab Legion, and Glubb's dismissal in 1956.

A Theory of Truces

European Politics in Global Perspective Edited by Ute Planert, University of Wuppertal, Germany

Nir Eisikovits, Department of Philosophy, Suffolk University, Boston, USA

The Napoleonic Empire played a crucial role in reshaping global landscapes and in realigning international power structures on a worldwide scale. When Napoleon died, the map of many areas had completely changed, making room for Russia's ascendency and Britain's rise to world power.

This book argues that understanding truces is crucial for our ability to wind down wars. We have paid too much attention to the idea of permanent peace, yet few conflicts end in this way. The book describes how truce makers think, which truces can be morally justified and provides a philosophical history of truce making in the Western tradition.

DIPLOMATIC AND MILITARY HISTORY Britain, Northern Rhodesia and the First World War Forgotten Colonial Crisis Edmund James Yorke, Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, UK "The ideas of "total war" may have been developed on the back of the First World War in Europe, but this book shows how relevant many were to the war outside Europe. Edmund Yorke weaves together economic, imperial and military history to show the impact of war in ways that each, in isolation, cannot begin to convey. He provides context and illumination from one to the others. Here in microcosm is a case study of the effects of "total" and protracted warfare in sub-Saharan Africa." Hew Strachan, Chichele Professor of War Studies, University of Oxford, UK. An insightful account of the devastating impact of the Great War, upon the already fragile British colonial African state of Northern Rhodesia. Deploying extensive archival and rare evidence from surviving African veterans, it investigates African resistance at this time.

DIPLOMATIC AND MILITARY HISTORY The Fifth Column in World War II Suspected Subversives in the Pacific War and Australia Robert Loeffel, University of New South Wales, Australia "Robert Loeffel's book demonstrates how fear, anxiety, suspicion, rumours and innuendo, often with little or no basis in fact, drove ideas of a 'fifth column' in Australia during the Second World War. By providing wide ranging coverage of the Fifth Column in the Second World War and by centring these events in the context of developments before the war, Robert Loeffel makes a significant contribution to our understanding of this important, but often overlooked, part of Australia's war history. Based on wide ranging national and international sources from archival documents to books and films, Loeffel's work provides excellent coverage of this important part of Australia's home front story during the Second World War." – Peter J Dean, Director of Studies, Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, Australian National University Alarming levels of fear and suspicion developed in Australia following the German victories in Europe of 1940. It was believed the Nazis had prepared an army of subversives – a Fifth Column – to undermine the war effort. These suspicions plagued the Australian home front for much of the war.

HISTORY OF WOMEN, GENDER AND SEXUALITY Jean Gerson and Gender

Men at Work

Rhetoric and Politics in Fifteenth-Century France

The Working Man in British Culture, 1939–1945

Nancy McLoughlin, University of California, Irvine, USA

Linsey Robb, University of Strathclyde, UK

Jean Gerson and Gender examines the deployment of gendered rhetoric by the influential late medieval politically active theologian, Jean Gerson (1363-1429), as a means of understanding his reputation for political neutrality, the role played by royal women in the French royal court, and the rise of the European witch hunts.

Men at Work explores the cultural portrayal of four essential wartime occupations: agriculture, industry, firefighting and the mercantile marine.

Yorick Smaal, Griffith University, Australia "Yorick Smaal has written an extraordinary history of Australian queer men during the Second World War. Based on extensive and meticulous archival research, and written with eloquence and compelling power, Sex, Soldiers and the South Pacific is a landmark work. It illuminates the sexual identities and practices of queer men during wartime, especially in Queensland and the South Pacific region. In so doing, Smaal opens up significant and new perspectives in our understandings of the cultural and social history of the 1940s, examining little known, but central aspects of the history of sexuality in Australia. This is an innovative, nuanced and original book." - Joy Damousi, Professor of History and Australian Research Council Laureate Fellow, University of Melbourne, Australia Sex, Soldiers and the South Pacific, 1939-45 explores the queer dynamics of war across the Australia and forward bases in the south seas. It examines relationships involving Allied servicemen, civilians and between the legal and medical fraternities that sought to regulate and contain expressions of homosex in and out of the forces.

Helen Smith, University of Lincoln, UK Masculinity, Class and Same-Sex Desire in Industrial England, 1895-1957 explores the experiences of men who desired other men outside of the capital. In doing so, it offers a unique intervention into the history of sexuality but it also offers new ways to understand masculinity, working-class culture, regionality and work in the period.

Edited by Liz Herbert McAvoy, Swansea University, UK, Diane Watt, University of Surrey, UK "This collection is a noteworthy addition to the bibliography on women's contributions to medieval literature... it offers a thorough overview of the field for graduate students, and its informative, wellwritten, and original essays make it recommended reading for anyone studying women's writing."

Deans of Women and the Feminist Movement Emily Taylor's Activism Kelly C. Sartorius, Washington University in St Louis, USA "A significant contribution to the history of feminism and of higher education in the United States, Deans of Women and the Feminist Movement explores women deans' commitment to gender parity in education and work from the early twentieth century. Using Emily Taylor's career as a lens, the book uncovers feminist work in the academy from the 1930s to the 1970s and decisively challenges a range of assumptions about feminist activism in these decades: that feminism went quiescent, that feminists were largely on the political left in American cities, and that the academy was a site of social conformity." - Mary Ann Dzuback, Director of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Washington University in St. Louis, USA, and author of Robert M. Hutchins: Portrait of an Educator This book explores how deans of women actively fostered feminism in the midtwentieth century through a study of the career of Dr. Emily Taylor, the University of Kansas dean of women from 1956-1974. Sartorius links feminist activism by deans of women with labor activism, the New Left movement, and the later rise of women's studies as a discipline.

Annie Cossins, University of New South Wales, Australia "Annie Cossins has written a remarkable book.

In tracing the moral regulation of the female body through the lens of infanticide from the nineteenth century to the present day, this work fills an important gaps in understandings of female criminality and moral panic theory. In situating her analysis within an historical, social, and legal context, Cossins makes a robust case for the way in which sexed bodies underpin how the female criminal might be framed and understood. Any scholar interested in gender and crime would do well to read this book and consider the challenge that this sexed body approach poses for them and their work." - Sandra Walkate, University of Liverpool, UK This is the first book to consider the moral regulation of the female body through an analysis of the crime of infanticide. An in-depth perspective from the nineteenth century to the present, Cossins provides a revealing insight into the history of a little-known but widespread social crime.

Kairos, Crisis, and Global Apartheid The Challenge to Prophetic Resistance Allan Aubrey Boesak, Christian Theological Seminary, USA "Boesak saw apartheid in South Africa for what it was: heresy. Thirty years later he sets his eyes on the apartheid girdling our globe, making critical connections between issues too-often presented as separate. Reading the signs of our time, Boesak urges us to resist. A prophet speaks. We would do well to listen—and act in hope." - Melanie Duguid-May, Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, USA In 1985, the Kairos Document emerged out of the anti-apartheid struggle as a devastating critique of apartheid and a challenge to the church in that society.

Marcus Morgan, University of Cambridge, UK, Patrick Baert, University of Cambridge, UK "For too long analyses of intellectual disputes and campus politics have stood in the shadows of Bourdieu's Homo Academicus with its structural reading of fault lines. Conflict in the Academy at last moves the game forward with a pithy and yet impressively detailed case study. Building on recent cultural sociology it convincingly demonstrates that deep meanings and contingent performances also play a part. Making a significant contribution to the sociology of intellectuals and ideas this concise book punches well above its weight." - Professor Philip Smith, Yale University, USA Examining an intramural conflict that erupted within the English Faculty at Cambridge University in the early 1980s, this book develops a theoretical analysis of disputes as they unfold within the academy and explores the broader historical shifts within Higher Education and how these related to developments in Continental Europe.

Benign Violence: Education in and beyond the Age of Reason Ansgar Allen, University of Sheffield, UK BSA Philip Abrams Memorial Prize 2015 - Shortlisted "We should invert the old cliché: this book talks Power to Truth, and does so brilliantly... He tells us, in effect, to stick our liberalism up our holism." - Prof Ian Stronach, Liverpool John Moores University, UK Setting education in its political context, this book offers a history of good intentions, ranging from the birth of modern schooling and modern examination, to the rise (and fall) of meritocracy. In challenging all that is well-intentioned in education, this book reveals how our educational commitments are always underwritten by violence.

Genealogies of Genius Edited by Joyce E. Chaplin, Harvard University, USA, Darrin M. McMahon, Florida State University, USA Genius as a historical concept, rather than as a presumed trans-historical fact, is surprisingly underexamined, even as millions of daily decisions— personal, institutional, and governmental—are made according to unexamined assumptions about it. The essays in this book show that the origins and uses of concepts of genius warrant careful examination.

Jeffrey Ullom, Case Western Reserve University, USA "Ullom's account of the Cleveland Play House's search for its identity provides a strong paradigm for how this kind of historical project should be done.

Working with new archival material, America's First Regional Theatre is a glimpse into the complicated evolution of a cultural treasure. Well-researched, with a strong critical and analytical approach of looking at theatre history through the larger lens of sociology, economics, and politics." - David A. Crespy, University of Missouri, USA and author of Off-Off-Broadway Explosion (2003) and Richard Barr: The Playwrights Producer (2013) The Cleveland Play House has mirrored the achievements and struggles of both the city of Cleveland and the American theatre over the past one hundred years.

Vaudeville is often viewed as the source of some of the crude stereotypes that positioned the Irish immigrant in America as the antithesis of native-born American citizens.

The News of the World and the British Press, 1843-2011

Perspectives on Mnemohistory Edited by Marek Tamm, Tallinn University, Estonia

Recently, we have witnessed a rearticulation of the traditional relationship between the past, present and future, broadening historiography's range from studying past events to their later impact and meaning.

The volume proposes to look at the perspectives of this approach called mnemohistory, and argues for a redefinition of the term 'event'.

Comics and the World Wars A Cultural Record Jane L. Chapman, University of Lincoln, UK, Anna Hoyles, University of Lincoln, UK, Andrew Kerr, University of Lincoln, UK, Adam Sherif, University of Lincoln, UK "Mining comics and cartoons as historical sources, this is an innovative, theoretically sophisticated study that crosses national and geographical boundaries.

It makes a pioneering contribution to print, labour, gender and new cultural history, and the expanding field of humour studies, through a captivating series of case studies from both World Wars." - Bridget Griffen-Foley, Macquarie University, Australia This transnational, interdisciplinary study argues for the use of comics as a primary source. In recuperating currently unknown or neglected strips the authors demonstrate that these examples, produced during the World Wars, act as an important cultural record, providing, amongst other information, a barometer for contemporary popular thinking.

Sophisticated, impressively readable, and impeccably researched, this is theatre history at its best." - Alan Filewod, University of Guelph, Canada Transatlantic Broadway traces the infrastructural networks and technological advances that supported the globalization of popular entertainment in the pre-World War I period, with a specific focus on the production and performance of Broadway as physical space, dream factory, and glorious machine.

Kropotkin, Read, and the Intellectual History of British Anarchism Between Reason and Romanticism Matthew S. Adams, University of Victoria, Canada "In a well-argued, contextualised account, Adams succeeds in restoring Kropotkin to the centre of socialist and anarchist debates in Britain in the late Victorian period. He also provides an admirably lively account of the intellectual inheritance of these engagements in subsequent decades through the lens of Herbert Read's life and ideas, restoring a sense of the vibrancy and sophistication of left-wing political theory through this period." - Greg Claeys, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Although marginal as a political force, anarchist ideas developed in Britain into a political tradition. This book explores this lost history, offering a new appraisal of the work of Kropotkin and Read, and examining the ways in which they endeavoured to articulate a politics fit for the particular challenges of Britain's modern history.

CULTURAL AND INTELLECTUAL HISTORY Orature and Yoruba Riddles

Edwardians on Screen

Akintunde Akinyemi, University of Florida, USA Orature and Yorùbá Riddles takes readers into the hitherto unexplored undercurrents of riddles in Africa.

Because of its oral—and all too often ephemeral— nature, riddles have escaped close scrutiny from scholars. The strength of the Yorùbá as the focus of this study is impressive indeed: a major ethnic group in Africa, with established connections with the black diaspora in North America and the Caribean; a rich oral and written culture; a large and diverse population; and an integrated rural-urban society. The book is divided into six chapters for readers' convenience. When read in sequence, the book provides a comprehensive, holistic sense of Yorùbá creativity where riddles are concerned.

At the same time, the book is conceived in a way that each chapter could be read individually. Therefore, those readers seeking understanding of a specific type of riddle may target a single chapter appearing most relevant to her/his curiosity.

Historical and Cultural Perspectives Edited by Anna Foka, Umeå University, Sweden, Jonas Liliequist, Umeå University, Sweden "I find Laughter, Humor, and the (Un)making of Gender to be a brilliant manifestation of the innovative power of the cultural history of emotion and its ability to create fresh perspectives that transcend disciplinary, cultural, and regional boundaries. The authors have compiled a stimulating collection of papers that range over the cultures of the globe and cast new light on the much-studied topic of gender by illuminating the constitutive power of what makes us laugh." - Walter G. Andrews, Near Eastern Languages and Civilization, University of Washington, Seattle, USA Humor is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. Throughout history, it has played a crucial role in defining gender roles and identities. This collection offers an in-depth thematic examination of this relationship between humor and gender, spanning a variety of historical and cultural backdrops.

Grappling with Ghosts George M. Johnson, Thompson Rivers University, Canada "Johnson uses attachment theory and object relations theory sensitively to explore the ways in which early responses to separation and loss influence writers' visions of art. The use of contemporary psychoanalytic theory is particularly valuable when exploring the literary and cultural implications of bereavement following World War One. To my knowledge, Johnson's book may well be the first to take this approach…. Johnson writes clearly and gracefully..." — Jeffrey Berman, Professor of English, University at Albany, SUNY This book traces how iconic writers - including Arthur Conan Doyle, J.M. Barrie, Rudyard Kipling, Virginia Woolf, Wilfred Owen, and Aldous Huxley - shaped their response to the loss of loved ones in the First World War through their embrace of mysticism.

Decadence in Literature and Intellectual Debate since 1945 Edited by Diemo Landgraf, Acadia University, Canada "Decadence, as an aesthetic, philosophical, sociological or political concept, has been and remains one of the most controversial terms in any one culture's vocabulary. This collection offers a thought-provoking view of the development and the uses of the notion of a final sickness of the collective soul that will give much fodder for future studies, and contributes most usefully to the history of ideas, from the nineteenth century to the present day."

- Vittorio Frigerio, Professor of French, Dalhousie University, Canada Bridging the gap between decadence as it is traditionally understood in literary and cultural studies and its relevance to current phenomena, this interdisciplinary collection examines literary texts and movies from Europe and the United States since 1945.

Before Journey's End Lawrence Napper, Kings College London, UK "Napper challenges assumptions and allows the reader to understand the films discussed on their own terms, and in their own context, allowing them to emerge fresh, stripping away the sometimes crusty layers of critical prejudice and neglect.

Both scholarly and accessible, Napper's book is a significant achievement that really brings the culture of 1920s Britain, and its remarkable cinema, to life.

A fascinating work by one of the leading scholars of British silent cinema." - Michael Williams, University of Southampton, UK This book discusses British cinema's representation of the Great War during the 1920s. It argues that popular cinematic representations of the war offered surviving audiences a language through which to interpret their recent experience, and traces the ways in which those interpretations changed during the decade.

Theatre and Human Rights after 1945 Things Unspeakable Edited by Emilie Morin, University of York, UK, Mary Luckhurst, University of York, UK "This book defines vitally important new territory in thinking about the intersection of theatre, social engagement, and human rights. Nuanced readings of 20th and 21st-century performance practices investigate the unique role of theatre in relation to issues such as post-conflict violence, torture, elder abuse, political censorship, corporate labour practices, and disability. Cathy Caruth analyses the politics of listening and Catherine Cole writes magisterially on institutional ethics and the performance of genocide.

This is a brilliant expose of the way performance can sometimes transcend and sometimes spectacularly fail in the wake of the famously unspeakable horrors of Auschwitz." - Yoni Prior, Deakin University, Australia This volume investigates the rise of human rights discourses manifested in the global spectrum of theatre and performance since 1945. Essays address topics such as disability, discrimination indigenous rights, torture, gender violence, genocide and elder abuse.

CULTURAL AND INTELLECTUAL HISTORY Subject, Structure, and Imagination in the Spanish Discourse on Modernity C. Christopher Soufas, Jr., Temple University, USA "There is perhaps no question more central to contemporary Hispanism than Spain's unique and problematic relation to modernity. In this wideranging and intellectually ambitious book, Soufas, Jr. offers an unexpected approach to this problem through highly original re-readings of canonical works of Spanish from the sixteenth through the early nineteenth century." - Jonathan Mayhew, Professor of Spanish & Portuguese, The University of Kansas, USA Many scholars have treated Spain's philosophical loyalties as being anchored in the Middle Ages.

Postnarrativist Philosophy of Historiography

Time, Space, Matter

Jouni-Matti Kuukkanen, University of Oulu, Finland Edited by Rosemarie Bank, Kent State University, USA, Michal Kobialka, University of Minnesota, USA How do the ethical implications of writing theatrical histories complicate the historiographical imperative in our current sociopolitical context? This volume investigates a historiography whose function is to be a mode of thinking and exposes the inner contradictions in social and ideological organizations of historical subjects.

The Memory Phenomenon in Contemporary Historical Writing

Narrativism has made important contributions to the theory and philosophy of historiography but it is now time to move beyond it to postnarrativism. Kuukkanen shows how it is possible to reject the absolutist truth-functional evaluation of interpretations in historiography and yet accept that historiography can be evaluated by rational standards.

The Social Impact of the Arts

NOW IN PAPERBACK

An Intellectual History

Eleonora Belfiore, University of Warwick, UK, Oliver Bennett, University of Warwick, UK "The aims of this book are ambitious: to nourish public debate, to reconnect us all with a rich tradition of thinking, to show how certain ideas turned into commonplace beliefs, and in the end to encourage "a more nuanced understanding of how the arts can affect people". This is a much-needed study, believe me, and a timely one as well: an examination of what lies behind the rhetoric, it fills a surprising gap in the fast-expanding literature on cultural policy."

- Sir Christopher Frayling, Chairman, Arts Council England, and Rector, Royal College of Art Now in paperback, an intellectual history of contrasting ideas around the power of the arts to engender personal and societal change - for better and worse. A fascinating account of the value and functions of the arts in society, in the private sphere of individual emotions and self-development and public sphere of politics and social distinction.

The Future of Scholarly Writing

Humanities in the Twenty-First Century

Critical Interventions

Beyond Utility and Markets

Edited by Angelika Bammer, Emory University, USA, Ruth-Ellen Boetcher Joeres, University of Minnesota, USA "This is a profoundly important book. As universities face multiple crises, from corporatization on the inside to charges of irrelevance from the outside, it is essential that scholars give as much attention to how they write as to what they write. Scholarship, especially in the humanities, is at risk of becoming meaningless unless we can communicate what is important about our work to a wide range of readers inside and outside the academy. The contributors to this volume provide many worthwhile paths to guide academic writing into the future." - Elaine Tyler May, Professor of American Studies and History, University of Minnesota, USA and author of America and the Pill: A History of Promise, Peril, and Liberation This stimulating collection is the first to take on the issue of form and what it means to the future of scholarly writing. A wide range of distinguished scholars from fields including law, literature, and anthropology shed light on the ways scholars can write for different publics and still adhere to the standards of quality scholarship.

Edited by Eleonora Belfiore, University of Warwick, UK, Anna Upchurch, University of Leeds, UK "The book is beautifully written and edited, allowing the reader to relax and enjoy the experience of following an intense, academic debate, whilst its hard, critical edge skewers economic triumphalism on its own inconsistencies. This makes Humanities in the 21st Century both a compelling call to humanities scholars to reclaim the public value debate, as well as setting a demanding standard for others wanting to participate in that debate." - Paul Benneworth, LSE Review of Books This collection of essays by scholars with expertise in a range of fields, cultural professionals and policy makers explores different ways in which the arts and humanities contribute to dealing with the challenges of contemporary society in ways that do not rely on simplistic and questionable notions of socio-economic impact as a proxy for value.

REFERENCE Understanding Digital Humanities

Health Humanities

Edited by David M. Berry, University of Sussex, UK "Berry and colleagues present us with several current and future trajectories of the digital humanities, both building and questioning its trends. Through the last 40 years of computational research, the humanities have appropriated and developed many techniques for doing their work computationally, but only in the last ten years has the excess of computational capacity begun to bring central questions about the nature of the humanities to light. David Berry and his colleagues sit on the cutting edges of these questions, and their work will inform those debates for years to come." - Jeremy Hunsinger, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, USA Confronting the digital revolution in academia, this book examines the application of new computational techniques and visualisation technologies in the Arts & Humanities. Uniting differing perspectives, leading and emerging scholars discuss the theoretical and practical challenges that computation raises for these disciplines.

Corporate Humanities in Higher Education The Humanities, Higher Education, and Academic Freedom Three Necessary Arguments Michael Bérubé, Pennsylvania State University, USA, Jennifer Ruth, Portland State University, USA "Finally, a book that defends the humanities not with violins but rather by linking them to the status of contingent labor in the academy, and what the deplorable state of both means for all of us. The Humanities, Higher Education and Academic Freedom is an important intervention that spotlights the most salient defense of tenure for our times. Bérubé and Ruth center on the forgotten side of academic freedom, namely governance. This is a bracing and necessary book that should be mandatory reading for all department chairs—and everyone else who teaches college." — Leonard Cassuto, Professor of English, Fordham University, and columnist for The Chronicle of Higher Education This book is a lively, passionate defence of contemporary work in the humanities, and, beyond that, of the university system that makes such work possible. The book's stark accounts of academic labour, and its proposals for reform of the tenure system, are novel, controversial, timely, and very necessary.

This is an original contribution to a field that is filled with blog-length individual reflections. In this one large report we are able to hear from practitioners, administrators, and institutional funders in aggregate and in detail as they describe what it means today to perform humanistic research.

Of special interest is the comprehensive set of material from regions across the west as well as those areas that are typically underrepresented such as Africa, Latin America, and Asia. This work will be a vital addition to the libraries of the world's leading humanities centers as we chart our way forward." - Roland Hsu, Stanford Humanities Center, and Stanford Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies This book is open access under a CC-BY licence.

The first of its kind, this Open Access 'Report' is a first step in assessing the state of the humanities worldwide.

Paul Jay, Loyola University Chicago, USA "What the world needs now is a defense of the humanities that puts the past thirty or forty years of literary criticism and theory front and center.

Seriously. All too often, when scholars in the humanities try to explain their work to a skeptical or curious public, they revert to the anodyne language of the liberal arts brochure, as if it would be bad PR to talk about 'the contingency of value'– or as if everyone would like us if we simply issued an apology: 'turns out we were wrong– the sign is not arbitrary after all.' Thankfully, Paul Jay is having none of it. The Humanities "Crisis" and the Future of Literary Studies reminds me (and will remind you) how our understanding of the humanities has been enriched by interpretive theories and new social movements– and why their varieties of critical thinking are valuable in and out of the classroom. Any humanist hoping to engage with a skeptical or curious public should read this book." - Michael Bérubé, Director, Institute for the Arts and Humanities, Pennsylvania State University, USA Demonstrating that the supposed drawbacks of the humanities are in fact their source of practical value, Jay explores current debates about the role of the humanities in higher education, puts them in historical context, and offers humanists and their supporters concrete ways to explain the practical value of a contemporary humanities education.

The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Imperialism and Anti-Imperialism

Meditations on the Academic Work-Life Balance Edited by Greg Colón Semenza, University of Connecticut, USA, Garrett A. Sullivan, Jr, Penn State University, USA, Anthony Grafton, Princeton University, USA "One of the many good qualities of the essays in this book is that collectively they offer a panorama of humanists' lives. In them every major step in the humanist's career, from graduate school to retirement, comes in for imaginative, sympathetic, and precise description. Even if you are not a humanist—especially if you are not a humanist—let me urge you to read this book from end to end. Do it, and you will learn a great deal—much of it the sort of thing that no polemic could teach you. This is a book I wish I could have read when I was much younger.

Nothing like it existed then—and nothing like it exists now." - Anthony Grafton, Henry Putnam University Professor of History, Princeton University, USA A follow-up to the popular Graduate Study for the 21st Century, this book seeks to expand professional development to include the personal aspects of daily lives in the humanities. How to Build a Life in the Humanities delves into pressing work-life issues such as post-tenure depression, academic life with children, aging, and adjuncting.
