    Abstract: "In the United States, four distinct anti-slavery approaches emerged over the years. The four approaches identified are religious, abolitionist, human rights, and feminist. This book examines them chronologically and then in the context of modern-day slavery and trafficking. It is not our purpose to conduct a comparative analysis to emerge with the "best" approach of these four. In fact, each of these traditions is unique and plays an important role in the anti-slavery work. More important for our purposes, is to illustrate how they played off one another, strengthened one another, borrowed language and rhetoric from one another, often building on prior work while at the same time, pointing out, as the feminists do in past and present analysis, the way even anti-slavery activists leave women out of the equation"--

    La circulation des nouvelles au Moyen Âge : XXIVe Congrès de la SHMES (Avignon, juin 1993) (2019)

    Abstract: Faut-il rappeler qu'au cours de la première année de son pontificat, Grégoire XI fit envoyer par sa chancellerie 15 450 lettres communes, sans compter les lettres secrètes et curiales ? A une échelle moindre, les États nationaux en formation, les compagnies commerciales et financières de Toscane éprouvaient des besoins d'information semblables et cherchaient à améliorer la circulation des nouvelles. Il faut s'interroger aussi sur les modalités de la transmission et sur la vitesse à laquelle les événements, grands ou petits, pouvaient être connus grâce à des courriers, des voyageurs ou des marchands. Plus spontanée, plus diffuse aussi, la rumeur, ce « plus vieux media du monde », pose d'autres problèmes : comment naît-elle ? se propage-t-elle ? quel en est le contenu ? quelle place joue-t-elle dans le jeu politique, et plus largement dans le corps social ? L'étude des réseaux de communication mène ainsi de la rue à l'échoppe, des relais de chevaux mongols aux coursiers des rois et des papes. Elle nous fait parcourir le monde médiéval, de la Chine à l'Égypte, de Rome à Venise et des Balkans à la Catalogne, sans oublier le royaume de France divisé et meurtri par la guerre de Cent Ans.

    D'or et de cendres : La mort et les funérailles des princes dans le royaume de France au bas Moyen Âge (2019)

    Abstract: Les funérailles sont à la fin du Moyen Âge l'une des grandes cérémonies mettant en scène le pouvoir souverain. A l'image du Christ, qui triomphe de la mort par la résurrection, le prince défunt, plus humblement, triomphe de l'oubli par un faste funèbre impressionnant qui marque durablement les mémoires. La présente étude entreprend de le suivre depuis son décès jusqu'à sa dernière demeure, à travers des cérémonies religieuses, chevaleresques et politiques complexes, qui offrent de nombreuses similitudes avec le rituel royal. De multiples questions, objets de débats historiographiques, sont envisagées, comme la signification de l'effigie, simple ou double corps du prince, la place des funérailles dans les cérémonies d'inauguration ou l'intérêt porté au cœur du défunt. En restituant le prince dans sa majesté, les funérailles sont non seulement un rituel essentiel pour comprendre la spiritualité et les mentalités médiévales, mais également l'indice d'une histoire politique subtile, à l'ombre du trône royal.

    Abstract: Votée le 20 septembre 1792, la loi autorisant le divorce, survient dans une période particulièrement agitée de l'histoire de la Révolution : la Monarchie n'est plus crédible, Assemblée et Commune se déchirent à Paris et les frontières du pays sont menacées. Dans une telle situation, la loi peut paraître anachronique. Fut-elle une décision irraisonnée liée aux outrances de l'époque et à la confusion publique engendrée par les circonstances dramatiques ou, au contraire, l'aboutissement d'un long processus ? C'est ce que les premiers chapitres de ce travail essaient d'éclaircir. La deuxième partie de cet ouvrage commence par une sociologie du divorce lyonnais avant de s'aventurer dans le domaine infiniment délicat de la psychologie historique. En résumé, le divorce révèle-t-il un traumatisme conjoncturel ou une crise des structures de la famille d'Ancien Régime ?...

    Abstract: Through an examination of early modern African-European encounters, African Kings and Black Slaves offers a reappraisal of the dominant depiction of these exchanges as simple economic transactions: rather, according to Herman L. Bennett, they involved clashing understandings of diplomacy, sovereignty, and politics.

    Abstract: In the 1960s, as gentrification took hold of New York City, Jane Jacobs predicted that the city would become the true player in the global system. Indeed, in the 21st century more meaningful comparisons can be made between cities than between nations and states. Based on case studies of Melbourne, Austin and Berlin, this book is the first in-depth study to combine academic and industry analysis of the music cities phenomenon. Using four distinctly defined algorithms as benchmarks, it interrogates Richard Florida's creative cities thesis and applies a much-needed synergy of urban sociology and musicology to the concept, mediated by a journalism lens. Building on seminal work by Robert Park, Lewis Mumford and Jane Jacobs, it argues that journalists are the cultural branders and street theorists whose ethnographic approach offers critical insights into the urban sociability of music activity

    Abstract: Women in World History brings together the most recent scholarship in women's and world history in a single volume covering the period from 1450 to the present, enabling readers to understand women's relationship to world developments over the past five hundred years. Women have served the world as unfree people, often forced to migrate as slaves, trafficked sex workers, and indentured laborers working off debts. Diseases have migrated through women's bodies and women themselves have deliberately spread religious belief and fervor as well as ideas. They have been global authors, soldiers, and astronauts encircling the globe and moving far beyond it. They have written classics in political and social thought and crafted literary and artistic works alongside others who were revolutionaries and reform-minded activists. Historical scholarship has shown that there is virtually no part of the world where women's presence is not manifest, whether in archives, oral testimonials, personal papers, the material record, evidence of disease and famine, myth and religious teachings, and myriad other forms of documentation. As these studies mount, the idea of surveying women's past on a global basis becomes daunting. This book aims to redress this situation and offer a synthetic world history of women in modern times

    Abstract: Dit boek van antropoloog en oud-'NRC'-redacteur Dirk Vlasblom is het eerste moderne overzichtswerk van de geschiedenis van westelijk Nieuw-Guinea, van de vroegste tijden tot de 21ste eeuw. De auteur baseert zich op gepubliceerd en ongepubliceerd bronnenmateriaal en op talloze interviews met rechtstreeks betrokkenen.0In de proloog wordt meteen duidelijk hoe heilsverwachtingen het wereldbeeld van de Papoea's beheersen. Nieuwkomers die opdoken vanaf de 17de eeuw werden door hen dan ook welwillend tegemoet getreden. Slavernij en uitbuiting door Molukse vorsten was vervolgens hun deel.0De Nederlanders eisten het immense gebied op, maar hadden er nauwelijks oog voor totdat het aan het einde van de 19de eeuw tot hen doordrong dat ze het konden verliezen als ze het niet daadwerkelijk onder bestuur brachten. Nieuw-Guinea bleef het 'stiefkind van Indië' tot aan de vooravond van de Tweede Wereldoorlog.0Na de oorlog nam Nederland de verplichting op zich westelijk Nieuw-Guinea als goede kolonisator te beheren en de Papoea's te leiden op de weg van ontwikkeling en uiteindelijk naar onafhankelijkheid. Voor deze inhaalmanoeuvre resultaat kon opleveren, zette Indonesië zijn aanspraken op het gebied kracht bij met militaire prikacties. Grote internationale druk dwong Den Haag in 1962 de vlag te strijken. Een tijdelijk VN-bestuur maakte uiteindelijk plaats voor een Indonesische gouverneur.0Meer dan ooit is westelijk Nieuw-Guinea in de Indonesische tijd een wingewest geworden. De Papoea's bleven aan de rand van de geldeconomie en hun zelfbewustzijn werd gekrenkt door de massale immigratie van Indonesiërs uit andere delen van de archipel.0In deze geheel vernieuwde tweede editie is geput uit de meest recente literatuur en is het verhaal bijgewerkt tot 2018

    Brutes ou braves gens ? : La violence et sa mesure (xvie-xviiie siècle) (2019)

    Abstract: Les hommes des siècles passés étaient-ils plus violents que nous ? On a depuis longtemps postulé que les gens du Moyen Âge et de l'époque moderne avaient eu des comportements brutaux avant d'apprendre à se contenir, à se civiliser, et parvenir à des mœurs enfin dignes à partir du xviiie ou du xixe siècle. L'importance des actes de violence dans les sources judiciaires semblerait le confirmer mais s'agissait-il des indices d'une immoralité générale ou d'actes exceptionnels ? Le travail critique mené dans Brutes ou braves gens ? réexamine les méthodes, critique les sources, apporte des pièces inédites et donne des exemples d'utilisation des sources textuelles et iconographiques, comme les scènes de rixes paysannes qui, correctement interprétées, ne peuvent plus être retenues comme des preuves. L'étude minutieuse d'un procès du début du xviie siècle pour homicide (édité en entier) montre qu'au-delà des apparences d'un acte impulsif commis par une « brute », on peut retrouver les motivations et les circonstances d'une mise à mort préméditée, constater le trouble d'une population pas du tout habituée à de tels crimes et s'interroger sur la violence légale appliquée aux accusés. Livre d'Histoire consacré à la violence et sa mesure du xvie au xviiie siècle, Brutes ou braves gens ? rejoint des débats actuels sur les formes et les chiffres de la criminalité, dont on connaît les enjeux politiques.

    L'obsession du retour : Les républicains espagnols 1939-1975 (2019)

    Abstract: Comme tant d'autres exilés, les républicains espagnols ont quitté leur pays, en 1939, avec l'intention d'y revenir dès sa reconquête. Mais la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale ne leur a pas ouvert les portes du retour. Ils ont dû se persuader que la séparation allait durer. Toute une vie peut-être. Apprendre à vivre sans l'Espagne, et sans eux laisser vivre l'Espagne. Certains sont pourtant rentrés, mettant à profit les amnisties proposées par Franco, mais perdant l'estime de leurs compagnons d'exil. Plus tard d'autres s'en sont tenus à de brefs allers-retours, renouant avec leur famille, leurs paysages, leur enfance. Mais ils ont compris qu'ils ne retrouveraient jamais l'Espagne qu'ils avaient laissée derrière eux, figée comme un arrêt sur image. Une nouvelle génération grandissait, dont la guerre civile n'était plus l'expérience fondatrice. L'exil, c'est peut-être moins la perte d'un territoire que celle du temps : les républicains ont été privés de trente ans de la vie de leur pays. À la fin, ils ont dû s'avouer que leur véritable Espagne était cette image qu'ils avaient emportée et gardée en exil. Ils ont vieilli en France. Après en avoir rêvé si longtemps, ils ont su que le retour était impossible ; pas même souhaitable, peut-être, maintenant qu'un autre pays vivant les a mêlés à sa chair. Souffrances et consolations intimes, que ce livre excelle à faire découvrir, à l'aide de très nombreux témoignages.

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage analyse le devenir d'un « imaginaire raciologique », c'est-à-dire des représentations fondées sur l'idée de l'existence de « races » humaines - ces représentations qui se sont développées, dans le cadre d'une anthropologie classificatoire, au cours du xixe siècle, selon une pensée de type polygéniste, avec les implications racistes qu'elle a pu véhiculer ou légitimer. Cet imaginaire raciologique n'est pas sans contradiction : il postule parfois aussi bien une fixité des « races » qu'une peur qu'elles ne se mélangent. Mais dans un cas comme dans l'autre s'établissent des hiérarchies, mises au service de différents discours de domination et d'exclusion. La spécificité de l'approche comparatiste développée ici consiste à s'interroger sur la diffusion, en France, de ces discours raciologiques, mais aussi sur leurs réinterprétations (souvent mises au service d'un discours nationaliste), au xxe siècle, dans l'espace soviétique et russe, que ce soit dans la littérature ou dans des corpus de type anthropologique, sociologique, politique ou philosophique.

    Abstract: The institution of slavery has always depended on enforcing the boundaries between slaveholders and the enslaved. As historical geographer Miles Ogborn reveals in The Freedom of Speech, across the Anglo-Caribbean world the fundamental distinction between freedom and bondage relied upon the violent policing of the spoken word. Offering a compelling new lens on transatlantic slavery, this book gathers rich historical data from Barbados, Jamaica, and Britain to delve into the complex relationships between voice, slavery, and empire. From the most "idian encounters to formal rules of what counted as evidence in court, the battleground of slavery lay in who could speak and under what conditions. But, as Ogborn shows through keen attention to both the traces of talk and the silences in the archives, if enslavement as a legal status could be made by words, it could be unmade by them as well. A deft interrogation of the duality of domination, The Freedom of Speech offers a rich interpretation of oral cultures that both supported and constantly threatened to undermine the slave system

    Abstract: "Between 1941 and 1945, thousands of German Jews, in fear for their lives, made the choice to flee their impending deportations and live submerged in the shadows of the Nazi capital. Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence and interviews with survivors, this book reconstructs the daily lives of Jews who stayed in Berlin during the war years. Contrary to the received wisdom that "hidden" Jews stayed in attics and cellars and had minimal contact with the outside world, the author reveals a cohort of remarkable individuals who were constantly on the move and actively fought to ensure their own survival."--

    Abstract: "The social changes and human and economic costs of the Civil War led to profound legal and constitutional developments after it ended, not least of which were the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and the many laws devised to protect the civil rights of newly freed African Americans. These amendments and laws worked for a while, but they were ineffective or ineffectively enforced for more than a century. In Ending the Civil War and the Consequences for Congress, contributors explore how the end of the war both continued the trauma of the conflict and enhanced the potential for the new birth of freedom that Lincoln promised in the Gettysburg Address. Collectively, they bring their multidisciplinary expertise to bear on the legal, economic, social, and political aspects of the aftermath of the war and Reconstruction era. The book concludes with the reminder of how the meaning of the war has changed over time. The Civil War is no longer the "felt" history it once was, Clay Risen reminds us, and despite the work of many fine scholars it remains contested"--

    Series Statement: Asian Borderlands
    Keywords: History ; History / Asia / China ; Electronic books
    Abstract: Frontier Tibet: Patterns of Change in the Sino-Tibetan Borderlands addresses a historical sequence that sealed the future of the Sino-Tibetan borderlands. It considers how starting in the late nineteenth century imperial formations and emerging nation-states developed competing schemes of integration and debated about where the border between China and Tibet should be. It also ponders the ways in which this border is internalised today, creating within the People's Republic of China a space that retains some characteristics of a historical frontier. The region of eastern Tibet called Kham, the focus of this volume, is a productive lens through which processes of place-making and frontier dynamics can be analysed. Using historical records and ethnography, the authors challenge purely externalist approaches to convey a sense of Kham's own centrality and the agency of the actors involved. They contribute to a history from below that is relevant to the history of China and Tibet, and of comparative value for borderland studies

    Abstract: Rank and file soldiers were not 'the scum of the earth' but included a cross section of working-class men, who retained their former civilian culture. While they often exhibited pride in regiment and nation, soldiers could also demonstrate a growing class consciousness and support for political radicalism. The book will challenge assumptions that the British army was politically neutral, if privately conservative, by uncovering a rich vein of liberal and radical political thinking among some soldiers, officers and political commentators. This ranges from the Whig 'militia' tradition, through radical theories on tactics and army reform, to attempted ultra-radical subversion amongst troops, and the involvement of soldiers in riots and risings. Case studies are given of individual 'military radicals', soldiers or ex-soldiers who were reforming and later socialist activists. Popular anti-French feeling of the Napoleonic Wars is examined, alongside examples of rank and file bravery which fostered widespread loyalty and patriotism. This contributed to soldiers being used successfully in strike breaking, and deployed against rioters or Chartist revolts. By the late Victorian period, popular imperialism was an important part of working-class support for Conservatism. The book explores what impact this had on rank and file soldiers, whilst outlining minority support for socialism.

    Abstract: "Within a few years of the invention of the first commercially successful photography process in 1839, American slaveholders had already begun commissioning photographic portraits of their slaves. Ex-slaves-turned-abolitionists such as Frederick Douglass also came to see how sitting for a portrait could help them project humanity and dignity amidst northern racism. In the first decade of the medium, enslaved people had begun entering southern daguerreotype saloons of their own volition, posing for cameras, and leaving with visual treasures they could keep in their pockets. And, as the Civil War raged, Union soldiers would orchestrate pictures with fugitive slaves that envisioned racial hierarchy as slavery fell. In these ways and others, photography powerfully influenced how bondage and freedom were documented, imagined, and contested. This book explores how photography altered, and was in turn shaped by, conflicts over bondage. Drawing upon an original source base that includes hundreds of unpublished and little-studied photographs of slaves, ex-slaves, and abolitionists as well as written archival materials, it puts visual culture at the center of understanding the experience of late slavery. It assesses how photography helped southerners to defend slavery, slaves to shape their social ties, abolitionists to strengthen their movement, and soldiers to imagine and pictorially enact an interracial society during the Civil War. With diverse goals, these peoples transformed photography from a scientific curiosity into a political tool. While this project sheds new light on conflicts over late American slavery, it also reveals a key moment in the much broader historical relationship between modern visual culture and racialized forms of power and resistance" ...

    Abstract: Informed by critical race theory and based on a wide range of sources, including official sources, memoirs, and anthropological studies, this book examines multiple forms of racial discrimination in Jamaica and how they were talked about and experienced from the end of the First World War until the demise of democratic socialism in the 1980s. It also pays attention to practices devoid of racial content but which equally helped to sustain a society stratified by race and colour, such as voting qualifications. Case studies on the labour market, education, the family and legal system, among other areas, demonstrate the extent to which race and colour shaped social relations in the island in the decades preceding and following independence and argue that racial discrimination was a public secret - everybody knew it took place but few dared to openly discuss or criticise it. The book ends with an examination of race and colour in contemporary Jamaica to show that race and colour have lost little of their power since independence and offers some suggestions to overcome the silence on race to facilitate equality of opportunity for all.

    Abstract: Is there a moral economy of capitalism? The term "moral economy" was coined in pre-capitalist times and does not refer to economy as we know it today. It was only in the nineteenth century that economy came to mean the production and circulation of goods and services. At the same time, the term started to be used in an explicitly critical tone: references to moral economy were normally critical of modern forms of economy, which were purportedly lacking in morals. In our times, too, the morality of capitalism is often the topic of debate and controversy. "Moral Economies" engages in these debates. Using historical case studies from the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries the book discusses the degree to which economic actions and decisions were permeated with moral, good-vs-bad classifications. Moreover it shows how strongly antiquity's concept of "embedded" economy is still powerful in modernity. The model for this was often the private household, in which moral, social, and economic behavior patterns were intertwined. The do-it-yourself movement of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries was still oriented towards this model, thereby criticizing capitalism on moral grounds

    Abstract: As this book shows, a fascinating chapter of the human evolutionary history has been written in the American continent. In pre-Columbian times, America was inhabited by hunter-gatherer peoples, although, in some places, new technological innovations arose, resulting in the emergence of organized states and cities larger than some important European counterparts. The arrival of the European conquerors and settlers and African slaves dramatically changed the course of this history, however. Despite the turmoil in this post-contact period, some small and isolated communities maintaining hunter-ga

    Abstract: Under dictatorship in Argentina, sex and sexuality were regulated to the point where sex education, explicit images, and even suggestive material were prohibited. With the return to democracy in 1983, Argentines experienced new freedoms, including sexual freedoms. The explosion of the availability and ubiquity of sexual material became known as the destape, and it uncovered sexuality in provocative ways. This was a mass-media phenomenon, but it went beyond this. It was, in effect, a deeper process of change in sexual ideologies and practices. By exploring the boom of sex therapy and sexology; the fight for the implementation of sex education in schools; the expansion of family planning services and of organizations dedicated to sexual health care; and the centrality of discussions on sexuality in feminist and gay organizations, Milanesio shows that the destape was a profound transformation of the way Argentines talked, understood, and experienced sexuality, a change in manners, morals, and personal freedoms

    Abstract: Domestic servants have always been, and continue to be, ubiquitous in the households of middle and upper income rural and urban South Asia. They are also strikingly visible in art forms: paintings, sculptures, photographs, cinema, plays, stories, etc. Yet, they remain absent from scholarly research with very few recent exceptions.
    Abstract: Domestic service was an important category of labour and social relationships in early modern and colonial India but the domestic servant has largely remained absent from historians’ accounts of South Asia. Servants’ Pasts, Sixteenth to Eighteenth Century South Asia, Vol. 1, much like Vol. 2, covers a range of polities; it specifically explores the period from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, and provides untold accounts of the ideals and practices of master/mistress-servant relationships during that period.
    Abstract: Young and seasoned scholars from diverse backgrounds use various sources - stories, letters, ledges, visuals, biographies, chronicles, newspaper reports and legal injunctions - to unravel the complex relationships around service and servitude. Contract, loyalty, patronage, ethical concerns and not least, coercion - both affectionate and violent - mark the nature of this relationship.

    Abstract: "History in North, Central, and South Americas. In the Bourbon New Spain (Mexico), taxes, including those from Mexicans of African descent who were free, were a rich, reliable source of revenue for the Crown. Taxing Blackness examines the experiences of Afromexicans and this tribute to get at the meanings of race, political loyalty, and legal privileges within the Spanish colonial regime. Gharala focuses on both the mechanisms officials used to define the status of free people of African descent as well as the responses of free-colored people to these categories and strategies. Her study spans the eighteenth century and focuses on a single institution to offer readers a closer look at the place of free-colored people in Mexico, which was the most profitable and populous colony of the Spanish Atlantic"--

    Abstract: This monograph is about an exciting and valuable string in the intellectual history of Eastern Europe: the debate of leading Polish historians on the origins of the economic divisions within Europe. The work covers nearly fifty years that span between the publication of two pivotal works in 1947 and 1994. The author focuses on the works of four leading participants in the debate, Kula, Małowist, Topolski and Wyczański. The analysis provides an insightful interpretation of how local and generational experience shaped the post1945 Polish historians' notion on Eastern European backwardness, and how their debate on backwardness influenced Western historical sociology, discussion on origins of capitalism, social theories of development and dependency in peripheral areas, and image of Eastern Europe in western, Marxisminspired social science. Although created under the pressure of the adverse conditions of state socialism, censorship in particular, this scholarship, with its emphasis on international comparisons and global perspective, as well as its stress on social theory and explanations, is an important part of social science of the postwar period. Its analysis helps also to understand current differences that occasionally lead to conflicts between Europe's richest and economically most developed core and its southern and eastern peripheries

    Abstract: "Disabled soldiers and veterans occupied a difficult space in the Civil War North. The realities of living with a disability were ever at odds with the expectations of manhood. Disability made it difficult for soldiers to adhere to the particular masculine standards of the Union Army, yet when soldiers were able to control their bodies in order to fit manly ideals, they were met with suspicion when they requested accommodation or support. The very definition of masculine disability was ever in dispute as soldiers, physicians, lawmakers, bureaucrats and civilians each questioned what made a war wound authentic. Further, they each pondered what role disabled soldiers should play, whether in the course of war, in the progression of medicine, or in Gilded Age politics. It is in this tension, between the demands of masculinity and the realities of disability, that we can see the murkier undercurrent of the history of disabled Civil War veterans: that even when surrounded by the triumphant cheers and sentimental sighs that praised war wounds as patriotic sacrifices, disabled Union veterans faced enormous difficulty as they negotiated a life spent walking the fine line between manliness and emasculation. Sarah Handley-Cousins's manuscript makes an important contribution to the burgeoning field of the Civil War veteran experience, Civil War medicine, masculinity, and the soldier transition to civilian life. She breaks new ground with her focus on invisible wounds, as most scholars have concentrated on amputees"--

    Abstract: We forget that racist violence permeated the lower Midwest from the pre-Civil War period until the 1930s. From Kansas to Ohio, whites orchestrated extraordinary events like lynchings and riots while engaged in a spectrum of brutal acts made all the more horrific by being routine. Also forgotten is the fact African Americans forcefully responded to these assertions of white supremacy through armed resistance, the creation of press outlets and civil rights organizations, and courageous individual activism. Drawing on cutting-edge methodology and a wealth of documentary evidence, Brent M. S. Campney analyzes the institutionalized white efforts to assert and maintain dominance over African Americans. Though rooted in the past, white violence evolved into a fundamentally modern phenomenon, driven by technologies such as newspapers, photographs, automobiles, and telephones. Other surprising insights challenge our assumptions about sundown towns, who was targeted by whites, law enforcement's role in facilitating and perpetrating violence, and the details of African American resistance

    Abstract: The book provides a comprehensive history of the third-largest Jewish community in Britain and fills an acknowledged gap in both Jewish and urban historiography. Bringing together the latest research and building on earlier local studies, the book provides an analysis of the special features which shaped the community in Leeds. Organised in three sections, Context, Chronology and Contours, the book demonstrates how Jews have influenced the city and how the city has influenced the community. A small community was transformed by the late Victorian influx of poor migrants from the Russian Empire and within two generations had become successfully integrated into the city's social and economic structure. More than a dozen authors contribute to this definitive history and the editor provides both an introductory and concluding overview which brings the story up to the present day. The book will be of interest to both historians and general readers

    Abstract: "There are many controversies and chronic misconceptions surrounding the idea of emancipation in the nineteenth-century United States. Much recent scholarship has sought to address these misconceptions ... Reidy further enriches and complicates our understanding of emancipation in the context of the Civil War. Drawing us back to testimonies of participants and contemporary witnesses of the era and synthesizing the perspectives of subsequent observers, Reidy reveals emancipation as a long, messy process, with contingencies that clustered around the categories of time, place, and person ... Reidy's thematic approach allows him to shed new light on the wide-ranging and diverse expressions and experiences of freedom as it came suddenly, slowly, or not at all"--

    Abstract: "Available for the first time in English, 'The Color of the Third Degree' uncovers the still-hidden history of police torture in the Jim Crow South. Based on a wide array of previously neglected archival sources, Silvan Niedermeier argues that as public lynching decreased, less visible practices of racial subjugation and repression became central to southern white supremacy. In an effort to deter unruly white mobs, as well as oppress black communities, white southern law officers violently extorted confessions and testimony from black suspects and defendants in jail cells and police stations to secure speedy convictions. In response, black citizens and the NAACP fought to expose these brutal practices through individual action, local organizing, and litigation. In spite of these efforts, police torture remained a widespread, powerful form of racial control and suppression well into the late twentieth century"--

    Abstract: "In The Allure of Blackness among Mixed-Race Americans, 1862-1916, Ingrid Dineen-Wimberly examines generations of mixed-race African Americans after the Civil War and into the Progressive Era, skillfully tracking the rise of a leadership class in Black America made up largely of individuals who had complex racial ancestries, many of whom therefore enjoyed racial options to identity as either Black or White. Although these people might have chosen to pass as White to avoid the racial violence and exclusion associated with the dominant racial ideology of the time, they instead chose to identify as Black Americans, a decision that provided upward mobility in social, political, and economic terms. Dineen-Wimberly highlights African American economic and political leaders and educators such as P. B. S. Pinchback, Theophile T. Allain, Booker T. Washington, and Frederick Douglass as well as women such as Josephine B. Willson Bruce and E. Azalia Hackley who were prominent clubwomen, lecturers, educators, and settlement house founders. In their quest for leadership within the African American community, these leaders drew on the concept of Blackness as a source of opportunities and power to transform their communities in the long struggle for Black equality. The Allure of Blackness among Mixed-Race Americans, 1862-1916 confounds much of the conventional wisdom about racially complicated people and details the manner in which they chose their racial identity and ultimately overturns the "passing" trope that has dominated so much Americanist scholarship and social thought about the relationship between race and social and political transformation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries."--
    Abstract: "The Allure of Blackness examines generations of mixed-race, African Americans after the Civil War into the Progressive Era and overturns the passing trope that has dominated so much Americanist scholarship and social thought about the relationship of race to social and political transformation in Black America"--

    Abstract: "To Turn the Whole World Over: Black Women's Internationalism in Historical Perspective represents the first scholarly attempt to assemble the most recent works on black women's internationalism during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It highlights the range and complexity of black women's global engagements and centers their experiences as key historical actors in shaping internationalist movements and discourses from the 1870s to the 1970s. By analyzing the gendered contours of black internationalism, this collection of essays engages these two key questions: (a) how was black women's engagement in internationalism similar to and/or different from their male counterparts? (b) To what extent did black women merge internationalism with issues of women's rights and/or feminist concerns? Furthermore, the anthology calls for a re-conceptualization of black internationalism by asking how black women's lives and experiences alter the ways narratives of the global black freedom struggle are articulated. This anthology, then, does more than expand the paucity of scholarship on black women and internationalism. It is both an assessment of the field as well as an attempt to expand the contours of black internationalism theoretically, spatially, and temporally"--

    Abstract: "Commanding a vast historiography of slavery and emancipation, Aline Helg argues that significant numbers of enslaved Africans and their descendants across the entire Western Hemisphere managed to free themselves hundreds of years before the formation of white-run abolitionist movements. Her analysis of resistance and struggle covers more than three centuries, from early colonization to the American and Haitian revolutions, Spanish American independence, and abolition in the British Caribbean. But Helg's purpose is not only to underscore the agency of those who managed to become 'free people of color' before abolitionism took hold but also to assess in detail the specific strategies they created and utilized"--

    Abstract: "In 1945, four African American female privates who were members of the Women's Army Corps (WAC) participated in a strike at Fort Devens, Massachusetts, and opted to take a court martial rather than accept discriminatory work assignments. As the army prepared for the court-martial and civil rights activists investigated the circumstances, competing commentaries in African American and mainstream newspapers ignited a passionate public response across the country. Indeed, the insurrection, now little remembered, became the most publicized and recorded protest of Black WACs during World War II as story of how four African American women pushed the army's segregation system to its breaking point. Drawing on relevant scholarship, archival work, newspaper responses to the strike, and interviews with the strikers or their families, Sandra Bolzenius shows how the strike at Ft. Devens demonstrates that army regulations prioritized white men, segregated African Americans, highlighted white women's femininity, and overlooked the presence of African American women. In drawing attention to these issues, this book is able to shed light on the experiences and agency of World War II Black WACs who resisted racial discrimination and asserted their entitlements as female military personnel, analyze military policies and their effects on Army personnel, particularly Black WACs, and investigate the Army's determination to maintain the existing social order through the strict segmentation of its troops based on race, gender, and rank."--Provided by publisher

    Abstract: "Between the tenth and sixteenth centuries Central Asia was one of the most prestigious cultural areas of the entire Muslim world, playing a pivotal role in the Silk Road trade. Throughout that history, and up to the present, Tajiks, Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Turkmen and other Muslim peoples of Central Asia have developed their own unique understanding and practice of Islam which has shaped their national identity and particular social and political evolution. These special characteristics of Central Asian Islam ensured its survival during seventy years of Soviet atheist rule, while in the post-Soviet period Islam has been integrated into nation-building projects in constitutionally secular Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan. This absorbing history is traced in this fascinating study which shows how, from the seventh century to the present day, the region's people have negotiated their distinctively Central Asian Islamic identity in the face of enduring external Islamic and non-Islamic dominations, ethnic nationalisms and, more recently, global transnational Islamic influences"--Back cover

    Abstract: "This anthology brings together leading scholars of migration, ethnicity, race, and labor in a broadly comparative reconsideration of how immigration policy became a site for reconfiguring international relations, realigning labor priorities, and reimagining the attributes of citizenship. The decades following the passage of the 1924 Immigration Act are usually viewed as a lull in the long history of immigration to the United States. Through a discriminatory system of national origins quotas, the immigration laws of the 1920s greatly reduced or barred altogether immigration from Asia, southern and eastern Europe, and other parts of the world in order to maintain the dominance of western and northern European stock. Four decades later, the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act (also known as the Hart-Celler Act) was credited with reopening America's gates, enabling much greater diversity in immigration, and "inadvertently" transforming the demographic composition of the United States. The essays in this anthology show that the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act was not a dramatic departure from the status quo but rather emerged from the political struggles of the preceding four decades. Changing conceptions of race relations, citizenship, and America's role in the world, as well as new demands for specialized labor, produced a number of policy shifts that made the 1965 Immigration Act possible. The debates and struggles of the 1924-1965 period critically reshaped American society for decades to come in ways that reverberate to this day"--

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage collectif est la publication des actes de la journée d'étude, organisée le 31 janvier 1992 par l'Équipe de Recherche en Histoire Politique Contemporaine, EHRPC, équipe d'accueil créée en 1991 à l'Université Michel de Montaigne - Bordeaux III mais qui rassemble également des historiens des Universités de Pau et de Limoges ainsi que de l'Institut d'Etudes politiques. Les élites, comprises ici au sens large, soit des élites politiques, économiques et culturelles, sont étudiées principalement dans l'espace du grand Sud-Ouest mais des exemples nationaux et étrangers élargissent le cadre régional. L'étude comparée entre les deux fins de siècles, xixe et xxe siècles, soulève le problème de la permanence ou du renouvellement des élites, de la constitution de viviers et de réseaux. Les auteurs ont pu constater au travers de leurs études très largement prosopographiques que ces deux fins de siècles sont un aboutissement plutôt qu'une rupture. La cause en est la faculté d'adaptation des élites aux structures qui elles peuvent changer. Le modèle opératoire des élites présente bien des permanences dans ces deux fins de siècles.

    Abstract: La question des rapports entre les sexes et de la définition des rôles sexués est assez familière aux spécialistes de l'Antiquité. Néanmoins le renouvellement théorique apporté par la notion de genre incite l'équipe Phéacie, qui réunit des chercheurs et des enseignants-chercheurs spécialistes de l'Antiquité grecque et romaine, à proposer un premier bilan des problèmes que leur pose l'usage de cette catégorie. La variété des sources étudiées, épigraphiques, papyrologiques, archéologiques, littéraires, témoigne de l'ampleur que peut prendre un tel questionnement historique susceptible de renouveler radicalement la lecture de tel ou tel document supposé bien connu. Par ailleurs, les cadres normatifs observables dans les sociétés antiques, une fois mis au jour, paraissent sujets à bien des gauchissements, voire des transgressions. Ceux-ci rendent compte, à leur tour, de la dynamique des identités de genre qu'on ne saurait réduire à deux contenus, le masculin et le féminin. Néanmoins cette polarité reste un ordonnancement politiquement utile, permettant de hiérarchiser les individus et les comportements, et, exceptionnellement, de valoriser des caractéristiques socialement associées à un sexe ou un autre, tels l'obéissance pour les filles de leurs pères et le courage physique pour les fils de la cité.

    Abstract: Ce recueil, réunissant des chercheurs beiges et congolais, témoigne du regain d'intérêt que suscite l'histoire du Congo en Belgique depuis quelques années. Par l'analyse croisée et contradictoire si nécessaire pour rendre compte de la réalité historique des événements survenus entre 1955 et 1960, il souligne les cinquante ans de la publication du manifeste Conscience africaine le 30 juin 1956 ou le 1er juillet 1956. En concentrant l'attention sur l'événement retenu dans la chronologie de la prise de conscience politique des Congolais, on réduit la complexité des courants ayant porté ce texte, comme le montrent à l'envi les contributions réunies ici. Cependant, la commémoration s'accommode difficilement des explications plus conjoncturelles et structurelles qui permettent d'interpréter l'événement dans sa cohérence, avec les contradictions inhérentes au jeu d'échelle géographique et temporel. Que s'est-il donc réellement passe le 30 juin 1956 ? Date symbolique de l'histoire récente du Congo, l'événement a été vécu et interprété de manière très différente. Une réappropriation univoque dans le cadre de la commémoration des cinquante ans ne témoigne pas de cette diversité. II convient dès lors de contextualiser ce « réveil », cette « première manifestation publique » d'une conscience d'appartenir à un groupe social distinct par l'analyse du contexte immédiat et de l'héritage, réel ou suppose, attribué à Conscience africaine.

    Abstract: Depuis les années 1960, la contribution de J.-M. Pesez a été déterminante dans la définition des méthodes et des buts de l'archéologie médiévale en France. Initiateur des grandes enquêtes lancées autour de la question des désertions des habitats ruraux dans le courant du Moyen Age, il est une autorité en ce qui concerne le village et la civilisation matérielle médiévale. Il a présidé durant de nombreuses années le Conseil Supérieur de l'Archéologie. Au moment de son départ à la retraite, ses élèves et ses amis ont souhaité constituer un recueil thématique d'articles, et le lui offrir en hommage. Le volume est divisé en trois sections, qui correspondent aux trois axes des travaux et de renseignement de Jean-Marie Pesez : la maison (techniques de construction, distribution de l'espace, fonction de ses éléments), les habitants et les objets (technique de formation et de conservation), le finage (constitution du paysage, utilisation des terroirs) sont tour à tour abordes dans ce recueil qui présente un état de la recherche sur ces questions.

    Abstract: Si la noblesse, considérée comme un ordre de la société, dotée d'un statut juridique particulier qui est transmissible par le sang, est clairement distinguée en France au xiie siècle, si la composition de ce corps peut être décrite à partir du xive siècle, les lignages ne se perpétuent pas, semble-t-il durant plus de six générations. Sous des attributs prestigieux, durablement définis et reconnus, un incessant mouvement de renouvellement se déroule. L'anoblissement qui fait d'un homme noble, selon l'article du dictionnaire de l'Académie française en 1694, est le principe même qui entretient un corps dont la place est éminente dans la hiérarchie sociale. Il était intéressant d'étudier ce processus à travers les traités théoriques et à travers des ensembles régionaux ou simplement des cas familiaux.

    The Leamington Italian community : ethnicity and identity in Canada (2019)

    Abstract: "The Leamington Italian Community intertwines personal and family stories with both empirical and intuitive writing to offer new historical insights into the complex social, economic, and psychological causes and effects of the migration phenomenon. Walter Temelini meticulously reconstructs the history of immigration and settlement in Leamington, Ontario, of Italians from the southern regions of Lazio, Molise, and Sicily. He explains how, despite their regional differences, three generations between 1925 and the 1990s forged a cohesive, socially conscious, and unique agricultural community by balancing their inherited values and their newly adopted Canadian economic opportunities. Temelini's groundbreaking research draws on testimonial and documentary evidence gathered from in-depth interviews with hundreds of residents, as well as on original archival information, and Italian-language histories translated by the author and previously unavailable to English-speaking readers. He concludes his study with an investigation into the award-winning novel Lives of the Saints by Nino Ricci, one of the community's most celebrated descendants. Drawing parallels between Ricci's narrative and the development of the community, Temelini demonstrates that ethnicity can be transformed successfully into a powerful universal archetype, and a creative force of identity. A pioneering and authoritative work, The Leamington Italian Community creates an intimate portrait within a global framework, delving into issues both timely and timeless, that will interest and inform the general and specialized reader alike."--

    Abstract: "In some ways, no American city symbolizes the black struggle for civil rights more than Birmingham, Alabama. During the 1950s and 1960s, Birmingham gained national and international attention as a center of activity and unrest during the civil rights movement. Racially motivated bombings of the houses of black families who moved into new neighborhoods or who were politically active during this era were so prevalent that Birmingham earned the nickname "Bombingham." In this critical analysis of why Birmingham became such a national flashpoint, Bobby M. Wilson argues that Alabama's path to industrialism differed significantly from that of states in the North and Midwest. True to its antebellum roots, no other industrial city in the United States depended as much on the exploitation of black labor so early in its urban development as Birmingham. A persuasive exploration of the links between Alabama's slaveholding order and the subsequent industrialization of the state, America's Johannesburg demonstrates that arguments based on classical economics fail to take into account the ways in which racial issues influenced the rise of industrial capitalism"--

    Abstract: "The history of Branching Out, Canada's first national magazine of second-wave feminism, is the surprising story of an upstart magazine published on the prairies that was read from coast to coast. It is an Edmonton-based story of political activism, feminist community-building, and survival in the cultural industries. When it ceased publication in 1980, Branching Out had reached more readers than any other Canadian second-wave feminist periodical. Feminist Acts is an eye-opening examination of feminist publishing, written to bring more Canadian voices into conversations about women's cultural production. A vital text of feminist recuperation, the book draws on first-hand accounts from women who were there. It is a must-read for anyone interested in feminist activism, gender studies, Canadian cultural history, or publishing history."--

    Abstract: A Silent Place: Death in Mycenaean Lakonia' is the first book-length systematic study of the Late Bronze Age (LBA) burial tradition in south-eastern Peloponnese, Greece, and the first to comprehensively present and discuss all Mycenaean tombs and funerary contexts excavated and/or simply reported in the region from the 19th century to present day. The book will discuss and reconstruct the emergence and development of the Mycenaean mortuary tradition in Lakonia by examining the landscape of death, the burial architecture, the funerary and post-funerary customs and rituals, and offering patterns over a longue duree. 0The author proposes patterns of continuity from the Middle Bronze Age (even the Early Bronze Age in terms of burial architecture) to the LBA and, equally important, from the Late Bronze Age to the Early Iron Age,and reconstructs diachronic processes of invention of tradition and identity in Mycenaean communities, on the basis of tomb types and their material culture. The text highlights the social, political and economic history of Late Bronze Age Lakonia from the evolution of the Mycenaean civilisation and the establishment of palatial administration in the Spartan vale, to the demise of Mycenaean culture and the turbulent post-collapse centuries, as reflected by the burial offerings

    Abstract: On November 13, 2015, three gunmen opened fire in the Bataclan concert hall at 50 Boulevard Voltaire in Paris and subsequently held the venue under a three-hour siege. This was the largest in a series of coordinated terrorist attacks that eventually killed 130 people and injured 500. During the aftermath of these attacks, expressions of mourning and trauma marked and invariably transformed the urban landscape. Sarah Gensburger, a sociologist working on social memory and its localisation, lives with her family on the Boulevard Voltaire and has been studying the city of Paris as her primary field site for several years. This time, memorialisation was taking place on her doorstep. Both a diary and an academic work, this book is a chronicle of this grassroots memorialisation process and an in-depth analysis of the way it has been embedded in the everyday lives of the author, neighbours, other Parisians and tourists

    Abstract: "Archaeology below the Cliff: Race, Class, and Redlegs in Barbadian Sugar Society is the first archaeological study of the poor whites of Barbados, the descendants of seventeenth-century European indentured servants and small farmers. 'Redlegs' is a pejorative to describe the marginalized group who remained after the island transitioned to a sugar monoculture economy dependent on the labor of enslaved Africans. A sizable portion of the 'white' minority, the Redlegs largely existed on the peripheries of the plantation landscape in an area called 'Below Cliff, ' which was deemed unsuitable for profitable agricultural production. Just as the land on which they resided was cast as marginal, so too have the poor whites historically and contemporarily been derided as peripheral and isolated as well as idle, alcoholic, degenerate, inbred, and irrelevant to a functional island society and economy. Using archaeological, historical, and oral sources, Matthew C. Reilly shows how the precarious existence of the Barbadian Redlegs challenged elite hypercapitalistic notions of economics, race, and class as they were developing in colonial society. Experiencing pronounced economic hardship, similar to that of the enslaved, albeit under very different circumstances, Barbadian Redlegs developed strategies to live in a harsh environment. Reilly's investigations reveal that what developed in Below Cliff was a moral economy, based on community needs rather than free-market prices. Reilly extensively excavated households from the tenantry area on the boundaries of the Clifton Hall Plantation, which was abandoned in the 1960s, to explore the daily lives of poor white tenants and investigate their relationships with island economic processes and networks. Despite misconceptions of strict racial isolation, evidence also highlights the importance of poor white encounters and relationships with Afro-Barbadians. Historical data are also incorporated to address how an underrepresented demographic experienced the plantation landscape. Ultimately, Reilly's narrative situates the Redlegs within island history, privileging inclusion and embeddedness over exclusion and isolation."--

    Abstract: "Frank L'Engle Williams examines the anthropological record for evidence of the social behaviors associated with paternity, suggesting that ample evidence exists for the importance of such behaviors for infant survival. Focusing on the first three postnatal years, he considers the implications of father care--both in the fossil record and in more recent cross-cultural research--for the development of such distinctively human traits as bipedalism, extensive brain growth, language, and socialization. He also reviews the rituals by which many human societies construct and reinforce the meanings of socially recognized fatherhood--hormonal, physiological, and social changes incorporated into specific cultural manifestations of paternity. Father care was adaptive within the context of the parental pair bond, and shaped how infants developed socially and biologically. The initial imprinting of socially recognized fathers during the first few postnatal years may have sustained culturally-sanctioned indirect care such as provisioning and protection of dependents for nearly two decades thereafter. In modern humans, this three-year window is critical to father-child bonding--which differs so intrinsically from the mother-child relationship. By increasing the survival of children in the past, present, and quite possibly the future, father care may be a driving force in the biological and cultural evolution of Homo sapiens"--

    Abstract: "At what age does girlhood end and adulthood begin? This question vexes the modern practice of setting legal age standards for sexual consent. Societies across region and time have varied in defining when girls reach sexual maturity, and indeed they differentiate across contexts: laws on prostitution, rape, and marriage frequently contradict each other when demarcating an age of consent. Despite the variations, it is clear that a striking upward shift in the legal age of sexual consent has occurred around the globe over the course of the twentieth century. In this book, Ashwini Tamba explores the shifting legal age boundary between the "girl" and the "woman" in India across the twentieth century and into the present. Tambe investigates how age boundaries such as 18 years emerged as meaningful distinctions, and explores the transnational circulation of ideas about appropriate age standards for sexual activity. The stakes in defining age boundaries in India are particularly high because India has long been the most prominent site of child marriage in the world. It is also the site of some of the most dramatic shifts in the legal age of marriage, from 12 years in 1892 to 18 years in 1978. The book focuses on key conceptual shifts that shaped these changes-the rise of the idea of adolescence as a sheltered phase, which was critical for justifying the deferral of marriage and adulthood; the rise of population science; and understandings of moral hierarchies between nations in a changing geopolitical landscape. Ultimately, Tambe argues that legal changes were not always an organic reflection of shifting cultural norms about girlhood; they were frequently motivated by legislators' anxieties about appearing culturally backward, or protecting parents' interests, or achieving population control targets"--

    Abstract: This monograph explores the ways in which canonical Francophone Algerian authors, writing in the late-colonial period (1945-1962), namely Kateb Yacine, Mohammed Dib, Mouloud Feraoun, Mouloud Mammeri and Assia Djebar, approached the representation of Algerian women through literature. The book initially argues that a masculine domination of public fields of representation in Algeria contributed to a postcolonial marginalization of women as public agents. However, it crucially also argues that the canonical writers of the period, who were mostly male, both textually acknowledged their inability to articulate the experiences and subjectivity of the feminine Other and deployed a remarkable variety of formal and conceptual innovations in producing evocations of Algerian femininity that subvert the structural imbalance of masculine symbolic hegemony. Though it does not shy from investigating those aspects of its corpus that produce ideologically conditioned masculinist representations, the book chiefly seeks to articulate a shared reluctance concerning representativity, a pessimism regarding the revolution's capacity to deliver change for women, and an omnipresent subversion of masculine subjectivity in its canonical texts

    Abstract: "The last book in a trilogy of explorations on space and time from a preeminent scholar, The Boundless Sea is Gary Y. Okihiro's most innovative yet. Whereas Okihiro's previous books, Island World and Pineapple Culture, sought to deconstruct islands and continents, tropical and temperate zones, this book interrogates the assumed divides between space and time, memoir and history, and the historian and the writing of history. Okihiro uses himself--from Okinawan roots, growing up on a sugar plantation in Hawai'i, researching in Botswana, and teaching in California--to reveal the historian's craft involving diverse methodologies and subject matters. Okihiro's imaginative narrative weaves back and forth through decades of time and across vast spatial and societal differences, theorized as historical formations, to critique history's conventions. Taking its title from the author's surname, The Boundless Sea is a deeply personal and reflective volume that challenges how we think about time and space, notions of history"--Provided by publisher

    Abstract: "Despite the extensive scholarship on Max Weber (1864-1920) and W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963), very little of it examines the contact between the two founding figures of Western sociology. Drawing on their correspondence from 1904 to 1906, and comparing the sociological work that they produced during this period and afterward, The Spirit vs. the Souls: Max Weber, W.E.B. Du Bois, and the Politics of Scholarship examines for the first time the ideas that Weber and Du Bois shared on topics such as sociological investigation, race, empire, unfree labor, capitalism, and socialism. What emerges from this examination is that their ideas on these matters clashed far more than they converged, contrary to the tone of their letters and to the interpretations of the few scholars who have commented on the correspondence between Weber and Du Bois. Christopher McAuley provides close readings of key texts by the two scholars, including Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism and Du Bois's The Souls of Black Folk, to demonstrate their different views on a number of issues, including the economic benefits of unfree labor in capitalism. The book addresses the distinctly different treatment of the two figures's political sympathies in past scholarship, especially that which discredits some of Du Bois's openly antiracist academic work while failing to consider the markedly imperialist-serving content of some of Weber's. McAuley argues for the acknowledgment and demarginalization of Du Bois's contributions to the scholarly world that academics have generally accorded to Weber. This book will interest students and scholars of black studies, history, and sociology for whom Du Bois and Weber are central figures"--

    Abstract: Maksudyan approaches the experience of World War I in the Ottoman lands from the perspective of social history, focusing on how total mobilization altered the "lives behind the lines" through the testimony of children. She discusses how issues like lack of education, work force shortages, economic dire straits, ethnic hatred, and nationalism affected children's lives, and how these were partially shaped by the children themselves. Ultimately, Maksudyan demonstrates that children, rather than being passive victims or casualties, were engaged in every facet of war

This is the first collection of essays to examine how elite women in early modern Europe marshalled clothing and jewelry for political ends. With essays encompassing women who traversed courts in Denmark, Finland, England, France, Germany, Habsburg Austria, Poland-Lithuania, Italy, Spain and Portugal, the contributions cover a broad range of elite women from different courts and religious backgrounds as well as varying noble ranks

    Abstract: "Literature, literacy, and citizenship took on new and contested meanings in early twentieth-century Canada, particularly in frontier work camps. In this critical history of the reading camp movement, Jody Mason undertakes the first sustained analysis of the organization that became Frontier College in 1919. Employing an interdisciplinary approach, Home Feelings investigates how the reading camp movement used fiction, poetry, songs, newspapers, magazines, school readers, and English-as-a-second-language and citizenship manuals to encourage ideas of selfhood that were individual and intimate rather than collective. Mason shows that British-Canadian settlers' desire to define themselves in relation to an expanding non-British immigrant population, as well as a need for immigrant labour, put new pressure on the concept of citizenship in the first decades of the twentieth century. Through the Frontier College, one of the nation's earliest citizenship education programs emerged, drawing on literature's potential to nourish "home feelings" as a means of engaging socialist and communist print cultures and the non-British immigrant communities with which these were associated. Shifting the focus away from urban centres and postwar state narratives of citizenship, Home Feelings tracks the importance of reading projects and conceptions of literacy to the emergence of liberal citizenship in Canada prior to the Second World War."--

This volume brings to light this compelling story, with implications for contemporary disputes over displaying Confederate flags and preserving Confederate monuments"--

    Abstract: "In July 1967, on the third night of a race riot, Detroit police raided the Algiers Motel, a black-owned business located about a mile from the epicenter of the unrest. The police responded to a report of sniper fire from the motel and proceeded to round up its occupants. They beat them and threatened to kill them. Three black men were killed that night, and no one was convicted for their deaths. First published in 1968, John Hersey's book strings together interviews, police reports, court testimony, and news reports to give an account of the events and their aftermath."--Provided by publisher
