Property and Dispossession

The Cambridge Grammar of Classical Greek

Natives, Empires and Land in Early Modern North America Allan Greer | McGill University, Montréal

Evert van Emde Boas | University of Oxford

This entirely new, comprehensive reference grammar of Classical Greek is aimed at students, teachers and academics. It combines traditional grammatical description with the latest insights from Greek and general linguistics, covering morphology, syntax, and textual coherence. Succinct yet full analyses are accompanied by numerous original examples. • The first comprehensive grammar of Classical Greek in English for a century, combining traditional grammatical description with the latest insights from general and Greek linguistics presented in a theoretically neutral fashion • Contains a wealth of original examples taken from all genres of Classical Greek literature in order to help the reader understand actual usage in ancient texts • Includes a section on textual coherence, without parallel in other grammars, which discusses particles and word order and uses a close analysis of four sample passages in order to illustrate the ways in which these and other features work together

Allan Greer examines the processes by which forms of land tenure emerged and natives were dispossessed from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries in Mexico, New England, and French Canada. The book’s geographic scope, comparative dimension, and placement of indigenous people on an equal plane with Europeans makes it unlike any previous study of early colonization in the Americas. • Provides a comparative approach to the colonization of North America, including a study of French, English, and Spanish colonies • Considers colonization in an indigenous America, contrary to the prevailing Eurocentrism of the history of early modern imperialism • Focuses on property formation as a central dimension of colonization

American Nationalisms Traces how Americans imagined forms of nationality during the country’s first five decades within the context of European discussions taking place at the same time. Focusing on three case studies – Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina – this book demonstrates how citizens in different states imagined competing forms of federalism in the fifty years following independence. • Proposes a new way for understanding how nationalism was understood in early America, showing how ideas of ‘nation’ and ‘union’ evolved in different ways and at different rates throughout different American states • Demonstrates that regional divergences were in existence from the founding period, engaging three different states during America’s first fifty years • Demonstrates how ideas concerning nationalism were expressed in politics, religion, patriotic rituals, anti-slavery activism, and fiction December 2017 228 x 152 mm 264pp 8 b/w illus. 978-1-108-42037-2 Hardback £39.99 / US$49.99

Performing Disunion The Coming of the Civil War in Charleston, South Carolina Lawrence T. McDonnell | Iowa State University

History – American Return to Kahiki Native Hawaiians in Oceania Kealani Cook | University of Hawai’i, West O’ahu

Most histories of interactions between different peoples/nations in Oceania tend to focus on relationships between Islanders and empires. This important new study instead unpacks the history of the connections between different groups of Pacific Islanders, focusing on Hawai’i both before and after annexation by the US. • Focuses on relationships between Native Hawaiians and other Oceanic peoples, rather than between Pacific Islanders and empires • Unlike most books on Hawai’i, this book restores a sense of continuity in Hawaiian and Native Hawaiian history before and after annexation by America • Portrays Native Hawaiians in roles commonly envisioned as the domain of European and American imperial actors: missionaries, diplomats, tourists, and travel writers

Lawrence T. McDonnell examines how ordinary men took practical steps at ground level to make secession happen in the American South. Using Charleston, South Carolina as the epicenter of his research and analysis, McDonnell examines the Minutemen in historical context, exploring the political and cultural dynamics of their choices. • Blends together analysis and narrative to examine the everyday choices of ordinary men at street level, offering a radically new explanation of the causes of the American Civil War using a micro-historical approach • Introduces a group of unstudied events, actors, ideas, and problems that broaden and enrich our understanding of the internal contradictions that drove the South to secession • Works to reconstruct the social context in which young Charlestonians enacted disunion, analyze the dynamics of those performances, and discover the common core of what they thought their actions meant Cambridge Studies on the American South

US Health Policy and Health Care Delivery

Japanese-American Relocation in World War II

Doctors, Reformers, and Entrepreneurs Carl F. Ameringer | Virginia Commonwealth University

A Reconsideration Roger W. Lotchin | University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

Carl F. Ameringer’s analysis of the relationship between health policy and healthcare delivery offers a fresh perspective on the current configuration of the US healthcare system, its historical roots, and its major differences with systems in other countries, particularly in the provision of primary and specialty care. • Analyzes three distinct arenas of healthcare: the professional sphere, the corporate sphere, and the government sphere • Explains why the US healthcare system has come to be unique in the world • Shows how other countries provide universal access at much lower costs and with better overall results

Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor created a climate of fear in America, which eventually resulted in the relocation of the Japanese-Americans. Roger W. Lotchin challenges the prevailing notion that racism was the cause of this, and instead argues that it was a consequence of nationalism. • Emphasizes the importance of war on Western society and explains the relationship between war and race • Explores a clearer definition of the concept of racism and restores the idea of complexity of motivation to the relocation narrative • Encourages a more realistic understanding of historical narratives, minimizing the concept of racism

Sporting Estates in the South Carolina Lowcountry, 1900–1940 Daniel J. Vivian | University of Kentucky

The Confederate South and Southern Italy Enrico Dal Lago | National University of Ireland, Galway

Examines the transformation of architecture and landscape involved in the making of ‘sporting plantations’ in coastal South Carolina by wealthy sporting enthusiasts. Vivian explores the meaning of plantations in American culture, how new sporting estates affected historical memory of slavery, and the consequences for contemporary views of the South Carolina coast and its past. • Shifts the focus from labor relations and agriculture to cultural attributes and associated discourses, emphasizing the relationship between mythic visions of the southern past and the historic view of plantations • Examines the evolutionary development of plantations beyond agriculture and coerced labor • Reveals class-based alliances between elite white northerners and southerners during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, challenging the views of sectional identities during this era of reunion

This is the first book that compares the Confederate South and Southern Italy during 1861–65. Through this comparison, it sheds light on the collapse of the Confederacy as opposed to the survival of the Italian Kingdom by focusing on the activities carried out by anti-Confederate and anti-Italian Southerners. • The first systematic comparison of aspects of the American Civil War with a contemporaneous civil war in another country: Italy • Utilizes the comparison between the Confederate States of America and the Kingdom of Italy to shed light on the reasons for the rise (and survival or fall) of nineteenth-century nations • Provides a valuable contribution comparative history and the study of nineteenth-century nationalism and nation-building Cambridge Studies on the American South

Joining Hitler’s Crusade

The Economic Consequences of the War

European Nations and the Invasion of the Soviet Union, 1941 Edited by David Stahel | University of New South Wales, Canberra

West Germany’s Growth Miracle after 1945 Tamás Vonyó | Università Commerciale Luigi Bocconi, Milan

Hitler’s Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, is typically thought of as a German war against the Soviet Union, but in fact soldiers or volunteers from eighteen other European nations fought with the Wehrmacht in the east. This study tells each of those national stories. • This study offers a concept never written about before – why so many countries, both Axis and non-Axis powers, opted to take part in Operation Barbarossa • With every chapter grounded in usually inaccessible languages, and some not yet covered in Anglo-American discourse, this study offers a completely new slant on the well-known aspects of 1941 • It presents many new interpretations of Operation Barbarossa, none of which follows the usual German-dominated perspective December 2017 228 x 152 mm 456pp 20 b/w illus. 2 tables 978-1-316-51034-6 Hardback £64.99 / US$84.99 P 978-1-316-64974-9 Paperback £22.99 / US$29.99 G

For many, Germany’s post-war economic power was based on liberal market reforms and the Marshall Plan. This book disputes this old myth.

In this new work, Thomas Richardson explores the 1st Australian Task Force’s (1ATF) implementation of pacification in Phuoc Tuy between 1966 and 1972.

Nietzsche’s Metaphysics of the Will to Power

The Aporetic Tradition in Ancient Philosophy

The Possibility of Value Tsarina Doyle | National University of Ireland, Galway

Edited by George Karamanolis | Universität Wien, Austria

This book argues that Nietzsche’s will to power provides an account of how values fit into the natural world, challenging Hume indirectly through critical engagement with Kant’s idealism. It will be important for scholars of Nietzsche’s metaphysics and of the history of philosophy and science more generally. • Presents a fresh perspective on a controversial aspect of Nietzsche’s philosophy, showing how it contributes to debates about naturalism and normativity • Demonstrates how the will to power thesis provides Nietzsche with the necessary conceptual and metaphysical resources to address the problem of nihilism • Engages with the influence of Kant and Hume on Nietzsche’s account of nature and value

This is the first comprehensive study of the method, source, and aims of aporia in ancient philosophy, examining how diverse philosophers (including Plato, Aristotle, Plutarch, the Sceptics, and Plotinus) used the state of puzzlement, rooted in conflicts of reasons, as a central tool in philosophical enquiry. • Provides the first systematic exploration of the state of aporia, or puzzlement, in ancient philosophical enquiry, examining its source, function, and aims • Compares approaches to aporia taken by a wide range of philosophers and schools, including the Presocratics, Plato, Aristotle, Plutarch, the Sceptics, Plotinus and Damascius • Discusses key issues of method and methodology as well as dialectic and knowledge, presenting readers with multiple detailed perspectives

Peirce on Realism and Idealism

Evil in Aristotle Edited by Pavlos Kontos | University of Patras, Greece

Robert Lane | University of West Georgia

It explores topics including pragmatism, scholastic realism, and generality, and will be important for students and scholars of American philosophy and metaphysics. • Shows how Peirce’s views on reality and truth intersect, providing a new interpretation of his pragmatic theory and arguing that his realism and idealism are compatible • Explores topics including scholastic realism, generality, vagueness, investigation, and the relationship between the mind and the external world • Draws upon unpublished manuscripts to illuminate Peirce’s metaphysics, allowing a wider understanding of his philosophy January 2018 228 x 152 mm 240pp 978-1-108-41522-4 Hardback £75.00 / US$99.99
