    Abstract: While the literature on slave flight in nineteenth-century North America has commonly focused on fugitive slaves escaping to the U.S. North and Canada, Conditional Freedom provides new insights on the social and political geography of freedom and slavery in nineteenth-century North America by exploring the development of southern routes of escape from slavery in the U.S. South and the experiences of self-emancipated slaves in the U.S.–Mexico borderlands. In Conditional Freedom, Thomas Mareite offers a social history of U.S. refugees from slavery, and provides a political history of the clash between Mexican free soil and the spread of slavery west of the Mississippi valley during the nineteenth-century

    Abstract: À la différence des comptabilités contemporaines, quelles qu’elles soient, secs alignements de chiffres que l’on a pu aisément informatiser, les documents comptables de la fin du Moyen Âge se limitent rarement à de simples « écritures » d’opérations mathématiques : si celles-ci sont bien présentes, elles se trouvent en fait insérées dans un cadre narratif aux vastes implications techniques, juridiques et politiques. L’objet de ce livre est d’analyser ce discours en posant les premiers jalons d’une typologie des formes comptables sur la longue durée. De nombreuses études de cas sont ici présentées, entre péninsules Ibérique et Italienne, Flandres, Royaume de France, Provence, Dauphiné et terres germaniques, qui mettent à l’épreuve le postulat énoncé en introduction par lequel on propose de considérer les profonds bouleversements de la pratique comptable observables au tournant du xiiie et du xive siècle comme l’une des premières manifestations de la « rupture de l’épistémè occidentale » chère à Michel Foucault

    Abstract: Drive the streets of Nairobi, and you are sure to see many matatus—colorful minibuses that transport huge numbers of people around the city. Once ramshackle affairs held together with duct tape and wire, matatus today are name-brand vehicles maxed out with aftermarket detailing. They can be stately black or extravagantly colored, sporting names, slogans, or entire tableaus, with airbrushed portraits of everyone from Kanye West to Barack Obama. In this richly interdisciplinary book, Kenda Mutongi explores the history of the matatu from the 1960s to the present. As Mutongi shows, matatus offer a window onto the socioeconomic and political conditions of late-twentieth-century Africa. In their diversity of idiosyncratic designs, they reflect multiple and divergent aspects of Kenyan life—including, for example, rapid urbanization, organized crime, entrepreneurship, social insecurity, the transition to democracy, and popular culture—at once embodying Kenya’s staggering social problems as well as the bright promises of its future. Offering a shining model of interdisciplinary analysis, Mutongi mixes historical, ethnographic, literary, linguistic, and economic approaches to tell the story of the matatu and explore the entrepreneurial aesthetics of the postcolonial world

    Abstract: Der wissenschaftliche Rassismus untermauerte seine Theorien durch eine ungeheure Knochensammlung, deren Beschaffung im 19. Jahrhundert eine regelrechte Skelettomanie auslöste. Die Jagd nach den Gebeinen der anderen missachtete jede Pietät. Sie störte die Totenruhe, raubte Leichen und schändete die Körper Verstorbener, deren Überreste zur Konstruktion typischer Rassenkörper dienten. Sie sollten Devianz gegenüber der weißen Norm demonstrieren - ihre öffentliche Zurschaustellung visualisierte und popularisierte die Rassentheorien und erlaubte den Betrachtern die Akkumulation rassistischen symbolischen Kapitals.Die Beiträge des Bandes untersuchen diesen Prozess an den Beispielen von Angelo Soliman, Sarah Baartman, El Negro und Truganini
