Analysing visual and material culture is central to the historian’s craft and 

The Look of the Past provides a much-needed introduction to the use of 

artefacts as evidence. Accessibly written and generously illustrated, it 

develops the skills students need in order to describe, analyse and 

contextualise images and objects. 

intelligence, periodisation, audiences, and display, and comparative 

analysis provide students with the necessary theoretical grounding 

themes and methods 

and objects in historical research 

The Look of the Past will encourage readers to think afresh about how they, 

like people in the past, see and interpret the world around them. 

‘A master historian of visual culture brings the subject to life, shows its 

importance to understanding any period of history, and offers concise and 

compelling guidelines for making sense of how it works. The Look of the Past 

strikes just the right tone in offering an accessible, wondrously wideranging, 

and intellectually satisfying account of visual objects from 

handbags to Baroque paintings.’

MAKING THATCHER’S BRITAIN 

L ONDON 

A SOCIAL AND CULTURAL HISTORY, 1550-1750 

“This book is a must for anyone interested in London. It covers the period when 

London rose from being a quite important Northern European trading center to 

become the greatest international port in the world at the hub of not just the 

emerging British Empire but European and North American trade. The internationally 

connected city, at the center of trade, determined the character of the city 

it has become today, including the weight of its international finance and trade 

sectors, its globally diverse population, and the worldwide influences on its heritage 

and contemporary culture.” 

“There is a big story here–how, between 1550 and 1750, London became a great 

world capital–but there are also a thousand small and even more wonderful stories 

about the men and women who walked the city’s streets. Their experiences, 

their hopes, and their disappointments come vividly to life in this compulsively 

readable account.” 

“A compass to navigate in the dark, an A to Z of London’s past, from beggars to 

kings, from Shakespeare to Dr. Johnson; Bucholz and Ward have created a compelling 

Material picture of Evidence the Great Wen in in all its premodern glory.” 

Visual and 

Historical Practice 

“Bucholz and Ward explore the rise of Europe’s preeminent entrepôt and metropolis 

in this engaging account of London and its people. Their superlative integration 

of the worlds of high culture and popular experience will enrich the study of 

English literature, society, and politics from the Reformation through the 

Enlightenment.”

B etween 1550 and 1750, 

London became the greatest city in 

Europe and one of the most vibrant 

economic and cultural centers in the 

world. This book is a history of London 

during this crucial period of its rise to 

worldwide prominence, during which it 

dominated the economic, political, 

social, and cultural life of the British Isles 

as never before nor since. London: A 

Social and Cultural History, 1550–1750, 

incorporates the best recent work in 

urban history, accounts by contemporary 

Londoners and tourists, and fictional 

works featuring the city to trace London’s 

rise and explore its role as a harbinger of 

modernity as well as how its citizens 

coped with those achievements. It covers 

the full range of life in London, from the 

splendid galleries of Whitehall to the 

damp and sooty alleyways of the East 

End. Along the way, readers will brave the 

dangers of plague and fire, witness the 

spectacles of the Lord Mayor’s Pageant 

and the hangings at Tyburn, and take 

refreshment in the city’s pleasure 

gardens, coffeehouses, and taverns.

Bishops, Clerks, and 

Diocesan Governance 

in Thirteenth- 

Century England 

Reward and Punishment 

Michael Burger 

Auburn University, Montgomery 

This book investigates how bishops 

deployed reward and punishment to 

control their administrative subordinates 

in thirteenth-century England. It brings 

together ecclesiastical, social, legal 

and cultural history, producing the first 

synoptic study of thirteenth-century 

English diocesan administration in 

decades, and provides an ecclesiastical 

counterpoint to studies of similar 

relationships formed in secular contexts. 

‘This book will be essential reading for 

anyone interested in the workings of 

diocesan administration in thirteenthcentury 

England. In particular, Burger 

sheds new light on the complex 

relationship between the bishop 

and his bureaucrats. We learn why 

medieval bishops used rewards, 

particularly the granting of benefices, 

far more than punishments in dealing 

with their clerical subordinates, and 

[he] draws valuable comparisons 

between developments in episcopal 

and royal administration. Above all, 

this book explains how the rise of an 

administrative church impacted the 

power of bishops.’

English Towns 

Samuel K. Cohn, Jr 

University of Glasgow 

Assisted by Douglas Aiton

Popular protests in medieval English 

towns were as frequent and as 

sophisticated, if not more so, as those 

in the countryside. This groundbreaking 

study refocuses attention on the 

leadership, social composition, 

organisation and motives of urban 

popular protest, revealing how its timing 

and character varied from events on the 

continent.

as forms of theft. This study of illicit 

sexuality in medieval England is the first 

to explore these overlapping offences, 

examining how women operated within

London 

A Social and Cultural History, 

1550–1750 

Robert O. Bucholz 

Loyola University, Chicago 

and Joseph P. Ward 

University of Mississippi 

This book is a history of London from 

1550 to 1750, the period of its rise to 

world-wide prominence. Incorporating 

recent work in urban history, accounts 

by contemporary Londoners and tourists, 

and fictional works featuring the city, 

it examines how London came to 

dominate the economic, political, social 

and cultural life of the British Isles. 

‘[London is] a serious and remarkably 

successful attempt to describe 

how the city reached the cusp of 

‘modernity’, how it emerged from 

relative obscurity in the middle of the 

sixteenth century to become, about 

200 years later, ‘the greatest city in 

Europe’, with a population whose 

distinctive traits are recognizable to

Richard Bancroft 

and Elizabethan 

Anti-Puritanism 

Patrick Collinson 


This major new study explores the 

Elizabethan Puritan movement through 

the eyes of its most determined and 

relentless opponent, Richard Bancroft, 

later Archbishop of Canterbury. It 

analyses his obsession with the 

perceived threat to the stability of the 

church and state presented by the 

advocates of radical presbyterian reform.

Oaths and the English 

Reformation 

Jonathan Michael Gray 

Virginia Theological Seminary 

Oaths were the medium through which 

the Henrician regime implemented its 

ideology and secured loyalty among 

the people and the tool by which the 

English people embraced, resisted and 

manipulated royal policy. By considering 

the central importance of oaths, 

Jonathan Michael Gray offers new

Transatlantic 

Abolitionism in the

An International History of

John Oldfield 


Taking a fresh look at antislavery 

debates in the late eighteenth and early 

nineteenth centuries, this book uncovers 

the structure, dynamics and flexibility of 

transatlantic abolitionism during the Age 

of Revolution. It reframes the abolition 

movement as a dense international 

network of activists across metropolitan 

centres and remote outposts.

The Imperial 

Security State 

British Colonial Knowledge and 

Empire-Building in Asia 

James Hevia 

University of Chicago 

This is an innovative study of the 

relationship between the production 

of strategic geographical, political and 

ethnographical knowledge and the 

maintenance of the British empire in 

Asia. It explores the forms of military 

intelligence, how men were trained to 

produce them, and their relationship to 

other types of imperial knowledge. 

‘This book is a groundbreaking study 

of the rise of the British imperial 

security regime in the nineteenth 

century. James L. Hevia’s mastery of 

rare military archives demystifies the 

trope of the Great Game and provides 

an extraordinarily detailed analysis 

of how the geopolitical boundaries 

of Asia were produced through a 

proliferation of route books, maps 

and statistics, and other apparati of 

imperial intelligence networks. His 

scrutiny of the imperial past makes 

the contemporary security-obsessed 

American empire supremely legible.’

Textbook 

Making Thatcher’s 

Britain 

Edited by Ben Jackson 

University of Oxford 

and Robert Saunders 


Margaret Thatcher’s governments 

inspired hatred and veneration in equal 

measure and her legacy remains fiercely 

contested. Yet assessments of the 

Thatcher era are often divorced from 

any larger historical perspective. Here 

leading historians situate Thatcher and 

Thatcherism in the context of modern 

Britain’s political, social, cultural and 

economic history. 

‘Making Thatcher’s Britain is a treasure 

trove of fresh thinking and new 

perspectives on a prime minister and 

a period that continue to fascinate us 

all. Each and every chapter fully merits 

its place in a collection which is as 

wide in its scope as it is measured in 

its judgements. For anyone seeking 

to understand the origins and the 

impact of Margaret Thatcher and 

her eponymous ‘ism’, Jackson and 

Saunders’ book is truly a must-have.’

1950s to 1979

This history of the Bank of England

The American 

National State and 

the Early West 

William H. Bergmann 

Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania 

Challenges the widely held myth 

that the American national state was 

weak in the early days of the republic. 

William H. Bergmann reveals how the 

federal government used its fiscal and 

military powers, as well as bureaucratic 

authority, to enhance land acquisitions, 

promote infrastructure development and 

facilitate commerce and communication 

in the early trans-Appalachian West. 

‘William Bergmann’s deeply 

researched narrative combines a 

powerful granular explication of 

the commercial sinews of western 

expansion with a sophisticated 

understanding of the transatlantic 

world in which American expansion 

occurred. To deal with the military 

and economic challenges that settlers 

regularly faced, they turned to state 

and even national governments for 

security, transportation infrastructure, 

and, more broadly, economic 

opportunity in the early republic.’

The Republic in 

Crisis, 1848–1861 

John Ashworth 

This book analyses the political climate 

in the years leading up to the American 

Civil War. John Ashworth argues that the 

Civil War was caused by the maturing 

of the North and South’s separate, 

distinctive forms of social organisation 

and their resulting ideologies. By 

emphasising factors often overlooked, 

Ashworth provides a new interpretation 

of the American Civil War’s causes. 

‘Drawing on his own highly regarded 

work on the origins of the Civil 

War and his command of current 

historiography, John Ashworth has 

produced a compelling and lucid 

account of the road to disunion. He 

convincingly places slavery where 

it belongs – at the center of the 

era’s social and political conflict – 

and makes the slaves themselves 

important actors in the story.’

Mexican American 

Colonization during 

the Nineteenth 

Century 

A History of the U.S.-Mexico 

Borderlands 

José Angel Hernández 

University of Massachusetts, Amherst 

This study is a reinterpretation of 

nineteenth-century Mexican American 

history, examining the various cases of 

return migration from the United States 

to Mexico following the war of 1846–8. 

As the United States expanded toward 

Mexico’s northern frontiers, Mexicans 

in those areas now lost to the United 

States were seen as an ideal group 

to colonise and settle the fractured 

republic. 

‘Mexican American Colonization 

during the Nineteenth Century 

makes a significant contribution to 

borderlands, Chicano, and Mexican 

history especially because José 

Angel Hernández takes a distinctly 

transnational approach in examining 

‘Mexican American’ migration ‘south’ 

to northern Mexico, rather than 

‘Mexican’ migration ‘north’ to the 

southwestern United States. While 

bridging the gap between traditional 

area studies focused on the United 

States or Latin America, Hernández’s 

methodology empirically tests the 

supposed motivations attributed to 

‘Mexican repatriates’ against the 

documentary record, concluding 

with a more subtle interpretation. 

Equally impressive is his thoroughly 

bi-national and bilingual use of both 

primary and secondary sources. In 

the final analysis … Hernández, in 

revealing the surprising impact of 

ethnic Mexican repatriates on their 

nineteenth-century ‘homeland’ 

south of the 1848 border, develops a 

brilliantly original approach worthy of 

imitation.’

The War of 1812 

Conflict for a Continent 

J. C. A. Stagg 

University of Virginia 

This book is a narrative history of the 

many dimensions of the War of 1812, 

which places the war’s origins and 

conduct in transatlantic perspective. The 

book concludes that it resulted from an 

emerging nation-state trying to contend 

with the effects of rival European 

nationalisms. 

‘This is the most judicious general 

overview of the War of 1812 with 

which I am familiar. J. C. A. Stagg long 

ago established himself as a leading 

authority on President James Madison 

and his administration’s handling of 

this too-often-neglected conflict. It

condense his immense expertise into 

such a readable and insightful book.’

The Unwieldy 

American State 

Administrative Politics Since the 

New Deal 

Joanna L. Grisinger 

Northwestern University, Illinois 

Examines controversies over federal 

administrative law in the 1940s and 

1950s. The arcane procedures used by 

federal administrative agencies to make 

rules, draft policies and issue orders 

were a major political issue in the years 

following World War II. Reforms changed 

both administrative operations and the 

debates surrounding them. 

‘In this wonderful book, Joanna 

Grisinger chronicles the political 

battles over the administrative 

state in postwar America. Her story 

of the changing critiques of the 

federal bureaucracy convincingly 

demonstrates how Americans came 

to accept the reality of an enormous, 

federal administrative apparatus, 

while at the same time remaining 

skeptical of its abilities. Grisinger tells 

this story with lucid prose and an eye 

for humor amidst the bureaucratic 

and political wrangling. It is a truly 

marvelous achievement.’

In Search of Power 

African Americans in the Era of

Brenda Gayle Plummer 

University of Wisconsin, Madison 

In Search of Power is a history of the 

era of civil rights, decolonization and 

Black Power, from 1956 to 1974. Brenda 

Gayle Plummer traces the detailed 

connections between African Americans’ 

involvement in international affairs 

and how they shaped American foreign 

policy, integrating African American 

history, the history of the African 

Diaspora and the history of United 

States foreign relations. 

‘In Search of Power is a masterpiece. 

Plummer has seamlessly woven 

together a thought-provoking tapestry 

from often disparate threads in 

African-American, African, Caribbean, 

international, and American history. In 

doing so she deepens the complexity 

of these struggles. It was not just the 

Left that fought; it was not always 

the liberals who compromised and 

capitulated; and it was not always 

racially binary. In Search of Power is 

simply the result of a historian at the 

top of her craft.’

Representation 

and Inequality in 

Late Nineteenth- 

Century America 

The Politics of Apportionment 

Peter H. Argersinger 

Southern Illinois University, Carbondale 

This book examines fierce conflicts over 

apportionment and gerrymandering in 

the late nineteenth-century Midwest. 

Parties, legislatures and courts became 

embroiled in disruptive struggles that 

first overturned and then entrenched 

gerrymanders in American politics. The 

book demonstrates the centrality of 

apportionment to American politics and 

critically reveals the ways that political 

institutions themselves obstructed rather 

than implemented democratic ideals.

Law’s History 

American Legal Thought and the 

Transatlantic Turn to History 

David M. Rabban 

University of Texas, Austin 

This is a study of the central role of 

history in late nineteenth-century 

American legal thought. Unprecedented 

in its coverage and its innovative 

conclusions about major American 

legal thinkers from the Civil War to the 

present, the book combines transatlantic 

intellectual history, legal history, the 

history of legal thought, historiography, 

jurisprudence, constitutional theory and 

the history of higher education. 

‘This is a pioneering study of 

American historical jurisprudence 

in the late nineteenth century. It 

is comprehensive, meticulous, and 

deeply learned. It is cosmopolitan, 

placing the Americans among 

their European predecessors and 

counterparts. And it is eye-opening: 

the standard picture of this era’s legal 

scholars as political reactionaries and 

abstract deductive ‘formalists’ cannot 

possibly survive this splendid and 

important book.’

Documentary Culture

Early Middle Ages 

Edited by Warren Brown 

California Institute of Technology 

Marios Costambeys 

University of Liverpool 

Matthew Innes 

Birkbeck College, University of London 

and Adam Kosto 

Columbia University, New York 

Documents are the key building blocks 

of medieval social history. In this book, a 

series of tightly linked essays reveals for 

the first time the extent of their use and 

preservation by the laity in post-Roman 

Europe, North Africa and Egypt. 

‘Most studies of early medieval 

literacy have emphasised the role 

of the Church in the production of 

written documents. This collection 

puts the spotlight on the involvement 

of the laity, and vividly reveals the 

extent to which laymen played an 

active role in documentary culture 

throughout the post-Roman World, 

from the Eastern Mediterranean to 

Anglo-Saxon England. In so doing it 

greatly enriches our understanding 

of government, administration and 

estate organisation in the centuries 

after Rome’s fall.’

Charles West

Looking beyond the notion of a ‘Feudal 

Revolution’ in Europe between 800 

and 1100, this book reveals that the 

profound socio-economic changes 

that took place in the transition from 

Carolingian to post-Carolingian Europe 

were a continuation of processes 

unleashed by Carolingian reform, rather 

than a result of political failure.

Prisoners of War in the 

Hundred Years War 

Ransom Culture in the Late 

Middle Ages 

Rémy Ambühl 


The status of prisoners of war was firmly 

rooted in the practice of ransoming 

in the Middle Ages. This original and 

stimulating study tests laws, concepts 

and theory against the individual 

experiences of captors and prisoners 

during the Hundred Years War, to evoke 

their world in all its complexity. 

Advance praise: 

‘This book offers an important and 

sustained analysis of the culture of 

ransoming in England and France 

during the Hundred Years War. Building 

upon an unrivalled knowledge of the 

archival sources, Ambühl highlights 

the practical circumstances that 

shaped the development of practices 

of ransoming amongst the soldiers 

themselves. This is an essential 

corrective to modern romantic 

assumptions that interpret ransoming 

through the lens of chivalric literature 

or the writings of royal lawyers and 

propagandists.‘

Jacqueline E. Jung 


At the heart of Gothic cathedrals, the

architectural and sculptural components, 

this book reveals how these furnishings, 

far from being barricades or hindrances, 

were vital vehicles of communication

The Collapse of the 

Eastern Mediterranean 

Climate Change and the Decline 

of the East, 950–1072 

Ronnie Ellenblum 

Hebrew University of Jerusalem 

This provocative study argues that 

many well-documented but apparently 

disparate events of the tenth and 

eleventh centuries – including drought 

and famine in Egypt, mass migrations 

in the steppes of central Asia, and 

population decline in urban centres such 

as Baghdad and Constantinople – were 

triggered by climatic and ecological 

change. 

‘We have long been familiar with 

the famines that struck Egypt in the 

mid-1000s, but Ellenblum is the first 

to show how these are part of a broad 

regional pattern. This comprehensive 

and clearly argued book advances 

our understanding of the complex 

political, social, and economic 

processes of the late tenth and 

eleventh century in SW Asia and, more 

broadly, our capacity to link these 

processes to those underway in other 

parts of Eurasia.’

The Shaping of 

German Identity 

Authority and Crisis, 1245–1414 

Len Scales 

University of Durham 

For the first time in any language this 

book recounts the formation of German 

identity in the late Middle Ages. Offering 

a significant new perspective on German 

history and European nation-making, 

it shows how German identity took 

shape in a period of weakness and 

fragmentation for the Holy Roman 

Empire. 

‘This is a lucid and incisive analysis 

of late medieval German identity in 

its wider European context. Based 

on an impressive command of the 

sources, Len Scales argues that the 

very weakness of monarchy within 

the Holy Roman Empire accounts 

for the relative strength of national 

sentiment. His conclusions transform 

how we see the origins of modern 

European nations.’

Commerce and 

Its Discontents 

in Eighteenth- 

Century French 

Political Thought 

Anoush Fraser Terjanian 

East Carolina University 

The roots of modern commerce and 

the origins of economics are usually 

traced to Adam Smith and his alleged 

celebration of free trade. Questioning 

this conventional story, Anoush Fraser 

Terjanian uncovers ambivalence towards 

commerce in eighteenth-century France 

and offers a new perspective on the 

connections between political economy, 

imperialism and the Enlightenment. 

‘… [this book] enhances our 

understanding of late eighteenthcentury 

debates over the place of 

commerce in state and society. In an 

erudite and theoretically sophisticated 

account, Anoush Terjanian breaks 

with a long historiographic 

tradition that has emphasized the 

Enlightenment’s favorable attitude to 

‘sweet commerce’. Focusing on Abbé 

Raynal’s best-selling, multivolume 

History of the Two Indies – a work 

that is shown to have been every 

bit as important as The Wealth of 

Nations - Terjanian uncovers the deep 

ambivalence attached to practices 

such as monopoly, slavery and piracy 

… Thoughtful and elegantly written 

… a major reference for scholars of 

Enlightenment, empire and political 

economy.’

The Writing Culture 

of Ordinary People in 

Europe, c.1860–1920 

Martyn Lyons 

University of New South Wales, Sydney 

As mass emigration and war increased 

the distances between ordinary people, 

many, previously barely literate and 

unaccustomed to writing, began to 

communicate on paper. This fascinating 

book explores the multiple connections 

between orality and literacy and the 

insights these can provide into the 

history of individual experience in 

modern Europe. 

‘All historians, regardless of their 

specialization, will find enthralling 

material in this pioneering study of 

the ‘common writer’. For here we find 

people at the bottom of the social 

pyramid writing 

their own history, as they experienced 

it and described it.’

Louis XVI and the 

French Revolution, 

1789–1792 

Ambrogio A. Caiani 


This reassessment of Louis XVI’s 

short-lived constitutional monarchy of 

1789–1792 examines the king’s hitherto 

neglected domestic activities in Paris in 

this period. Ambrogio A. Caiani argues 

that the monarch’s symbolic behaviour 

and the organisation of his daily 

activities and household were essential 

factors in his increasing alienation from 

the people. 

‘In this beautifully written study, 

Ambrogio Caiani paints a picture of a 

king increasingly adrift as the French 

Revolutionaries relentlessly stripped 

away the symbolic and ceremonial 

trappings surrounding him for most of 

his years on the throne. His analysis 

adds new depth to our understanding 

of Louis XVI’s fatal alienation from the 

Revolution.’

Calvinists and 

Catholics during 

Holland’s Golden Age 

Heretics and Idolaters 

Christine Kooi 

Louisiana State University 

This book examines the social, political 

and religious relationships between 

Calvinists and Catholics during Holland’s 

Golden Age. It argues that coexistence 

between Calvinists and Catholics 

operated within a number of contiguous 

and overlapping social, political and 

cultural spaces, resulting in a paradox: 

a society that was at once Calvinist and 

pluralist. 

‘Christine Kooi, in her meticulously 

researched and elegantly written 

study, shows convincingly how 

Calvinists and Catholics negotiated 

religious differences across 

overlapping confessional, civic, 

and private spaces. She effectively 

employs spatial constructions to 

unravel the paradoxes of confessional 

coexistence in Golden Age Holland. 

This book is a must-read for scholars 

and students interested in questions 

of religious tolerance and difference.’

The Physiocrats and 

the World of the 

Enlightenment 

Liana Vardi 

University at Buffalo, State University of New 

York 

Physiocracy, an eighteenth-century 

French economic theory widely 

considered a forerunner of modern 

economics, argued that wealth derived 

exclusively from agriculture. This work 

places the Physiocrats in context by 

inscribing economic thought within 

broader Enlightenment trends and 

offers a framework for understanding 

physiocratic theory and its complicated 

relation to modern economics. 

‘A revealing and instructive piece of 

scholarship. By situating Physiocracy 

within Enlightenment culture, 

Vardi adds significantly to our 

understanding of both, employing 

a lively and innovative biographical 

approach.’

The Two Latin Cultures 

and the Foundation of 

Renaissance Humanism 

in Medieval Italy 

Ronald G. Witt 

Duke University, North Carolina 

This book traces the intellectual life of 

the Kingdom of Italy, the birthplace of 

humanism in the mid thirteenth century. 

Ronald G. Witt argues that the early 

emergence of humanism in northern 

Italy resulted from the precocious 

development of a lay intelligentsia in 

the region, whose participation in the 

culture of Latin writing fostered the 

beginnings of the intellectual movement 

which would eventually revolutionize all 

of Europe.

Modernity and 

Bourgeois Life 

Society, Politics, and Culture in 

England, France and Germany 

since 1750 

Jerrold Seigel 

New York University 

What does it mean to be modern In the 

nineteenth century a consensus emerged 

that Western Europe was giving birth to 

a new form of life in which bourgeois 

activities, people, attitudes and values 

played a key role. Jerrold Seigel offers a 

magisterial account of the development 

of European modernity. 

‘This is an impressive work of 

synthesis which tracks more than a 

century of bourgeois life in Europe. 

And the bourgeois world Seigel 

conjures is a complex one, born of 

ever more tightly woven patterns 

of communication and exchange, 

never fixed but changing over time, 

and always an unstable mix of the 

structured and the fluid. Rarely has 

the subject been treated with such 

sweep and sympathy.’

Cities and the 

Grand Tour 

The British in Italy, c.1690–1820 

Rosemary Sweet 

University of Leicester 

The Grand Tour introduced British 

travellers to the urban environments 

of Florence, Rome, Naples and Venice 

at a time when unprecedented 

urbanisation was taking place at home. 

This fascinating study examines how 

cities were experienced, described and 

represented in travel literature and how 

the image of a city evolved. 

‘No-one has mined the wealth of 

English travel writing in Italy from the 

late seventeenth century to the early 

nineteenth century more assiduously 

or imaginatively than Rosemary 

Sweet. Her elegant, wide-ranging 

and compelling book develops a 

forceful critique of recent scholarship 

on the cultural and social histories 

of the Grand Tour, while at the same 

time skilfully demonstrating how the 

reactions of English men and women 

to the great cities of Italy reflected 

much wider changes in perceptions of 

national, social, gender and cultural 

identities, of the self and the modern. 

A must for specialists and sheer 

delight for everyone else.’

The Defortification 

of the German

Yair Mintzker 

Princeton University, New Jersey 

This book tells the story of German 

cities’ metamorphoses from walled 

to defortified places between 1689 

and 1866. Using a wealth of original 

sources, the book discusses one of 

the most significant moments in the 

emergence of the modern city: the 

dramatic and often traumatic demolition 

of the city’s centuries-old fortifications 

and the creation of the open city. 

‘The title of [this] book is far too 

modest. Taking the demolition of 

the old city walls as pars pro toto 

for the destruction of the old body 

politic, Yair Mintzker offers an 

absolutely fascinating new insight 

into the transformations that led to 

modern society. His book is a genuine 

masterpiece of political history after 

the cultural turn: sophisticated, keenwitted,

Reparations for

Regula Ludi 

Universität Bern, Switzerland 

Regula Ludi chronicles the history of 

reparations from a comparative and 

trans-national perspective. Across 

Europe, the demand for compensation 

to individuals who suffered severe harm 

gained momentum following the Second 

World War. This book explores the 

significance of reparations as a means 

to provide victims with a language to 

express their unspeakable suffering in a 

politically meaningful way. 

‘Reparations for Nazi Victims in 

Postwar Europe is an exceptionally 

thorough analysis of reparation and 

compensation policies on behalf of 

victims of Nazism in Western Europe 

between 1945 and 1960. Based on 

extraordinary research, the book 

traces the roots of our contemporary 

reparation and indemnification 

regime and unveils the birth of a new 

paradigm in international morality. 

Ludi offers a magisterial analysis of 

crucial policy debates pertaining to 

collective memory and guilt, visions of 

justice, and the reaffirmation of state 

legitimacy through the reintegration 

(and exclusion) of various categories 

of victims.’

Terror and Democracy 

in West Germany 

Karrin Hanshew 

Michigan State University 

After 1945, West Germany became a 

‘militant democracy’ empowered against 

its enemies with a popular commitment 

to anti-fascist resistance. Faced with a 

declaration of war from the Red Army 

Faction in 1970, West Germany was 

brought into open conflict, fighting to 

protect democracy from both terrorism 

and state overreaction, an experience 

that had lasting significance for German 

politics and society. 

‘This excellent book traces the 

torturous process by which West 

Germans negotiated the relationship 

between security and civil liberties in 

the shadow of the Nazi dictatorship. 

It highlights the German autumn in 

1977 as a culmination point for both 

the Left’s and Right’s reconciliation 

with the basic institutional framework 

of the Federal Republic. A major 

contribution to the history of 

postwar democratization and to 

the contemporary debate on terror 

and democracy that underscores 

the essential role of vibrant public 

discourse and popular vigilance in 

preserving democratic freedoms.’

Inhumanities 

Nazi Interpretations of Western 

Culture 

David B. Dennis 

Loyola University, Chicago 

Inhumanities is an unprecedented 

account of the ways Nazi Germany 

manipulated and mobilized European 

literature, philosophy, painting, 

sculpture and music in support of its 

ideological ends. David B. Dennis shows 

how, based on belief that the Third 

Reich represented the culmination of 

Western civilization, culture became a 

key propaganda tool in the regime’s 

program of national renewal and its 

campaign against political, national and 

racial enemies. Focusing on the daily 

output of the Völkischer Beobachter, 

the party’s official organ and the most 

widely circulating German newspaper of 

the day, he reveals how activists twisted 

history, biography and aesthetics to 

fit Nazism’s authoritarian, militaristic 

and anti-Semitic world views. Ranging 

from National Socialist coverage of 

Germans such as Luther, Dürer, Goethe, 

Beethoven, Wagner and Nietzsche to 

‘great men of the Nordic West’ such as 

Socrates, Leonardo and Michelangelo, 

Dennis reveals the true extent of the 

regime’s ambitious attempt to reshape 

the ‘German mind’. 

‘David Dennis’s long awaited study 

of the metamorphosis of Nazi Kultur 

during World War II has arrived like a 

blockbuster. The role that the regime 

gradually tailored for the finest artists 

and thinkers to serve a proposed 

new world order has been researched 

with the painstaking care of the true 

scholar, yet reported here with the 

elegance and thrust of a novelist. The 

book is more than a good read; it is 

destined to become a classic.’

imperial experience influenced Belgian 

politics, diplomacy, economic activity 

and culture. 

‘This is an important book that 

provides the first scholarly study of 

the impact that the acquisition of 

the Congo had on Belgium. It is an

Forced Migration and the Politics 

of Memory, 1945–1970 

Andrew Demshuk 

University of Alabama, Birmingham 

After 1945, Germany was inundated 

with German refugees ethnically 

cleansed from territories ceded to East 

European states. Using cultural historical 

approaches to memory, nostalgia and 

ethnic cleansing, Andrew Demshuk 

shows how these refugees came to 

realize that the idealized world they 

mourned no longer existed and began to 

integrate into West German society. 

‘The millions of Silesians who fled 

their homes in the closing months 

of the Second World War or who 

were expelled in its aftermath have 

most often been remembered – if 

they have been remembered at all 

in the English-speaking world – as 

caricatures: symbols of either German 

victimization or German revanchism. 

Andrew Demshuk’s book is among 

the first scholarly works to move 

beyond the statements of official 

expellee spokesmen and to explore, 

sympathetically but critically, the 

complicated processes through 

which flesh-and-blood individuals 

gradually came to terms with the loss 

of the former homeland. His nuanced 

analysis of this history is an important 

contribution not only to understanding 

West German politics and German- 

Polish relations in the Cold War era, 

but also to the comparative study of 

forced migration and its aftermath.’

The Transatlantic 

Century 

Europe and America, 1890–2010 

Mary Nolan 


The Transatlantic Century is a fascinating 

new overview of European-American 

relations during the long twentieth 

century. Ranging from economics, 

culture and consumption to war, politics 

and diplomacy, Mary Nolan charts the 

stop-start rise of American influence 

in Europe, its mid-twentieth century 

triumph and then its gradual erosion 

since the 1970s.

‘In a century-long analytical survey 

blending economics and culture, 

ideas and diplomacy, Mary Nolan 

brings enviable breadth of knowledge 

and depth of thought to the full 

complexity of the transatlantic 

exchange. Throughout their varying 

encounters with modernity, she shows, 

Europe and the United States could 

never be disconnected, even as the 

discords and dissonances have grown.’

sale, usually under duress and typically 

at reduced prices, of Jewish-owned

The German Minority 

in Interwar Poland 

Winson Chu 

University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee 

The German Minority in Interwar Poland 

analyzes what happened when Germans 

from three different empires – the 

Russian, Habsburg and German – were 

forced to live together in one new state 

after the First World War. Winson Chu 

challenges prevailing interpretations that 

German nationalism in the twentieth 

century viewed ‘Germans’ as a single 

homogeneous group of people. 

‘In this fine study, Winson Chu 

examines the political sources of 

cohesion and conflict among ethnic 

Germans in interwar Poland. Because 

he demonstrates the prevalence of 

internal conflict even into the Nazi 

era, he significantly complicates 

conventional views about ethnic 

politics in Europe between the wars.’

The Struggle 

for the Files 

The Western Allies and the 

Return of German Archives after 

the Second World War 

Astrid M. Eckert 


When American and British troops swept 

through the German Reich in the spring 

of 1945, they confiscated government 

papers and archives, records which were 

subsequently used in war crimes trials. In 

1949, the West Germans asked for their 

return, and this book traces the tangled 

history of the captured German records. 

‘Eckert’s book does far more than 

trace the wartime and postwar 

fate of German archival records. It 

manages to incorporate a detailed and 

impeccably researched treatment of 

‘ownership’ with a broader discussion 

of the international debate about 

the path of German history and the 

future of Germany. This issue interests 

a much wider audience within the 

field of German history and within the 

discipline of history as a whole. The 

other characteristic of this work that 

deserves emphasis is its transnational 

character. Eckert is so well versed in 

the history of Germany, Britain, and 

the United States that she can carry 

off a narrative of their interaction in 

the postwar period with success and 

with verve.’

Russia and the West 

from Alexander 

to Putin 

Honor in International Relations 

Andrei P. Tsygankov 

San Francisco State University 

Andrei Tsygankov proposes a novel 

interpretation of Russian foreign 

policy which emphasizes the role of 

conceptions of honor. He identifies 

patterns in Russia’s international 

behavior from the early nineteenth 

century to the present, drawing on 

ten historical episodes from across the 

period, from the Holy Alliance to the 

Russia-Georgia war. 

‘An original analysis of the long 

sweep of Russian foreign policy over 

the last two centuries, examined 

through the prism of the concept 

of ‘honour’. The work provides a 

convincing framework for analysis 

based on three modes of Russian 

behaviour, cooperation, defensiveness 

and assertiveness. The notion is then 

applied in ten cases studies, ranging 

from the Holy Alliance of 1814–53 to 

the Russo–Georgian war of 2008, in 

which honour is seen to have played 

a central role in shaping policy and 

perceptions. Tsygankov offers a 

compelling and original analysis of 

Russian foreign policy that will be 

essential reading for historians and 

political scientists, and above all for 

scholars of international relations.’

Oil Resources in

British Documents 1886–1978 

Compiled by Anita L. P. Burdett 

The greatest currently anticipated 

source of petroleum is said to be in the 

Caspian Sea off Baku, but the Caucasus 

region has been exploited for oil for 

centuries, as have other smaller, but 

key fields in Roumania. Now that so 

many former Soviet satellite states, 

Azerbaijan and Roumania included, 

are independent territories, there is 

global involvement and interest in their 

development. Through these documents 

the history of the industry and business 

itself is depicted, but the involvement 

of European and overseas companies 

and governments in this field will serve 

also as a lens through which to focus 

on political relations with Russia, her 

successor state the USSR, and annexed 

territories.

This volume examines the development

to the Reformation, tracing both its 

geographical and its intellectual journeys 

from its homelands throughout the 

Middle East and Mediterranean and 

into northern Europe. Richard Marsden 

and Ann Matter’s volume provides a 

balanced treatment of eastern and 

western biblical traditions, highlighting 

processes of transmission and modes of 

exegesis among Roman and Orthodox 

Christians, Jews and Muslims and 

illuminating the role of the Bible in 

medieval inter-religious dialogue. 

Translations into Ethiopic, Slavic, 

Armenian and Georgian vernaculars, 

as well as Romance and Germanic, are 

treated in detail, along with the theme 

of allegorized spirituality and established 

forms of glossing. The chapters take 

the study of Bible history beyond the 

cloisters of medieval monasteries and 

ecclesiastical schools to consider the 

influence of biblical texts on vernacular 

poetry, prose, drama, law and the visual 

arts of East and West.

Cross-Cultural 

Exchange in the 

Atlantic World 

Angola and Brazil during the Era 

of the Slave Trade 

Roquinaldo Ferreira 

University of Virginia 

This book argues that Angola and Brazil 

were connected, not separated, by the 

Atlantic Ocean. Roquinaldo Ferreira 

focuses on the cultural, religious and 

social impacts of the slave trade on 

Angola. Reconstructing biographies 

of Africans and merchants, he 

demonstrates how cross-cultural trade, 

identity formation, religious ties and 

resistance to slaving were central to the 

formation of the Atlantic world. 

‘With great historical imagination, 

Ferreira resurrects detailed stories of 

individuals who were integrally tied 

to the largest branch of the Atlantic 

slave trade. In so doing, he shows the 

limitations of analytical categories 

that historians have applied in slave 

studies. The world Ferreira describes 

was one in which commoners and 

elites alike constantly reshaped social 

and cultural identities to fit particular 

circumstances. His innovative 

‘microhistorical’ approach charts a 

new direction for Atlantic history.’

Food, Race and the Colonial 

Experience in Spanish America, 

1492–1700 

Rebecca Earle 


Could European bodies thrive in 

the Indies Would Indians turn into 

Spaniards if they ate Spanish food This 

fascinating history of food, colonisation 

and race shows that attitudes about 

food were fundamental to European 

colonialism and understandings of 

physical difference in the Age of 

Discovery. 

‘With its focus on food and corporeal 

well-being, [this book] opens a 

fascinating new chapter in Spain’s 

conquest and colonization of the 

Americas. What were Spaniards to 

eat as they encountered unfamiliar 

foodstuffs … that reportedly did 

irreparable damage to both body and 

mind As for the natives, was their 

stature and temperament connected 

to ‘the poor quality of the food they 

eat’ … As Earle explains in this new 

important study, these and related 

questions sparked lively debate on 

both sides of the Atlantic. Stunningly 

original and deeply researched, her 

book is not to be missed. It is essential 

reading for both the history of the 

Americas and early modern ideas 

about the relationship between food, 

culture, bodies, and health.’

The Battle against 

Anarchist Terrorism 

An International History, 

1878–1934 

Richard Bach Jensen 

Northwestern State University 

This is the first global history of the 

secret international diplomatic and 

police campaign waged against 

anarchist terrorism from 1880 to the 

early 1930s. Placing anarchist terrorism 

in the context of economic and social 

globalisation, this book considers why 

some nations dealt with this global 

phenomenon more effectively than 

others.

Violence and 

Colonial Order 

Police, Workers and Protest in 

the European Colonial Empires, 

1918–1940 

Martin Thomas 


Pioneering account of the connections 

between the politics of imperial 

repression and the economic structures 

of European colonies between the two 

World Wars. Ranging across Africa, 

Southeast Asia and the Caribbean, 

the book explains why labour control 

and the containment of uprisings and 

dissent became central facets of colonial 

policing. 

‘In a colonial system threatened 

by economic crisis, labour protest 

and rising nationalism, efforts to 

safeguard the colonial political 

economy provided the key to the 

policing of the empire. Martin Thomas’ 

impressively wide-ranging and 

thoroughly documented study for the 

first time analyses the links between 

colonial policing, political economy 

and imperial policy in Africa, southeast 

Asia and the Caribbean.’

History after 

1945 (general) 

Kennedy, Johnson, and 

the Nonaligned World 

Robert B. Rakove 

University of Sydney 

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy 

initiated a bold new policy of engaging 

states that had chosen to remain 

nonaligned in the Cold War. While 

initially successful, colonial and regional 

conflicts, disputes over foreign aid and 

the Vietnam War led to its failure, paving 

the way for a lasting hostility between 

the United States and the Third World. 

‘Historians of the Cold War have 

long criticized US leaders for 

unsophisticated and heavy-handed 

policies toward the Third World. 

Robert Rakove convincingly 

challenges this view, demonstrating 

that for a few years in the early 

1960s, US decision makers embraced 

a remarkably nuanced, tolerant 

approach to India, Egypt, and 

other ‘nonaligned’ nations. The 

book fundamentally alters our 

understanding of John F. Kennedy 

and underscores the tragedy that 

occurred when subsequent presidents 

abandoned his approach. Anyone 

interested in the Cold War and the 

roots of present-day tensions between 

the United States and the developing 

world will gain much from this 

elegantly crafted, deeply researched 

study.’

Bartolomé de las Casas 

A Biography 

Lawrence A. Clayton 

University of Alabama 

The Dominican priest Bartolomé de las 

Casas (1485–1566) was a prominent 

chronicler of the early Spanish conquest 

of the Americas, a noted protector of the 

American Indians and arguably the most 

significant figure in the early Spanish 

Empire after Christopher Columbus. This 

is the first major English-language and 

scholarly biography of Las Casas’ life in 

a generation. 

‘Finally las Casas has a biographer 

able to bring to life in intimate detail 

the career of the Dominican friar who 

was named ‘Protector of the Indians’. 

A key figure in the struggle for human 

justice, las Casas dedicated his life 

to fighting against the abuses of the 

Amerindians by the Spanish. Clayton’s 

landmark book, based on careful 

reading of thousands of pages of las 

Casas’ writings, as well as writings by 

his enemies and supporters, provides 

the reader with a feeling for the real 

man, not just the myth. Beautifully 

written, it will become the new 

standard work on las Casas.’

The Old Regime and 

the Haitian Revolution 

Malick W. Ghachem 

University of Maine School of Law 

This is an innovative account of the 

French Caribbean colony of Saint- 

Domingue (Haiti) from the late 

seventeenth century to 1804, when 

Haitians became the first formerly 

enslaved people to overthrow a 

colonial slaveholding power. The result 

is a pathbreaking interpretation of the 

relationship between colonial slavery 

and the Haitian Revolution. 

‘This book will have a major impact on 

our understanding of the single most 

important turning point in the history 

of New World slavery. A revolutionary 

study of revolution, this beautifully 

written and deeply researched work 

shows that the ‘rupture narrative’ has 

obscured critical aspects of continuity 

and the ways in which laws governing 

master-slave relations provided a 

changing framework for action in the 

slaves’ quest for freedom.’

Warfare and 

Shamanism in 

Amazonia 

Carlos Fausto 

Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro 

This book is an ethnographic study of 

the Parakanã, a little-known indigenous 

people of Amazonia, who inhabit the 

Xingu–Tocantins interfluve in the state 

of Pará, Brazil. Carlos Fausto analyzes 

the relationship between warfare and 

shamanism in Parakanã society from the 

late nineteenth century until the end of 

the twentieth century. 

‘Here is the highest form of 

anthropology: superb ethnography, 

seriously pondered. Thinking through a 

small Amazonian group, Carlos Fausto 

is able to synthesize oppositions of 

universal import – the likes of history 

vs. structure or autonomy vs. alterity 

– that have long troubled the human 

sciences. Then there is the sheer 

intellectual pleasure of following a 

narrative that turns cannibalism into 

kinship.’

The British Textile 

Trade in South 

America in the 

Nineteenth Century 

Manuel Llorca-Jaña 

Universitat Pompeu Fabra and Fondecyt, Chile 

This is the first work on British textile 

exports to South America during the 

nineteenth century. Contrary to the 

prevailing views, British exports to 

South America were transacted at very 

high rates during the first decades after 

independence. This book explores the 

marketing chain of textile exports to 

the region and sheds light on South 

Americans’ consumer behaviour. 

‘Meticulous research, an imaginative 

use of evidence, and informed 

speculation characterize [this book]. 

Focusing on the British textile 

trade with South America, Llorca- 

Jaña offers the first systematic 

and comprehensive analysis of the 

commercialization of a key product, 

drawing on rich new qualitative and 

quantitative sources … a significant 

contribution to the study of the 

emergence of a global economy in the 

early nineteenth century …’

Jeffrey Lesser 


Immigration, Ethnicity, and National 

Identity in Brazil, 1808 to the Present 

examines the immigration to Brazil 

of millions of Europeans, Asians and 

Middle Easterners beginning in the 

nineteenth century. Jeffrey Lesser 

analyzes how these newcomers and 

their descendants adapted to their new 

country and how national identity was 

formed as they became Brazilians. 


‘A crowning achievement by the 

premier historian of immigration to 

Brazil. In this highly readable book, 

Lesser shows how immigrants from 

Europe, Asia, and the Middle East 

helped create new ways of being 

white, of being nonwhite, and of being 

Brazilian, and in so doing, helped 

create modern Brazil.’

Third World 

Colonialism and 

Strategies of 

Liberation 

Eritrea and East Timor Compared 

Awet Tewelde Weldemichael 

University of Kentucky 

This book compares Eritrea and East 

Timor’s grand strategies of liberation 

from Ethiopia and Indonesia, 

respectively. It challenges existing 

notions of grand strategy and 

colonialism as exclusive projects of the 

West and, in showing how Eritrea and 

East Timor developed sophisticated 

military and non-military strategies, 

Awet Tewelde Weldemichael emphasizes 

that these insurgents avoided terrorism. 

‘In Third World Colonialism and 

Strategies of Liberation, Awet 

Weldemichael narrates the 

experiences of these remarkable but 

often under-appreciated nationalist 

movements during struggles against 

both primary (European) and 

secondary (regional) colonial powers 

with a rare combination of laser-like 

precision and contextual breadth 

and depth that brings them alive 

and renders them comprehensible on 

their own terms. The unique strength 

of this work lies in the details he 

has ferreted out from key actors and 

informants, much of it available for 

the first time, that gives them both 

texture and density. In doing so, he 

provides us with one of the most clear 

and compelling accounts so far on 

not one but two intensely complex 

but vitally important political events, 

traditionally treated as isolated 

anomalies.’

Slave Emancipation 

and Racial Attitudes 

in Nineteenth-Century 

South Africa 

R. L. Watson 

North Carolina Wesleyan College 

This book examines the social 

transformation wrought by the abolition 

of slavery in 1834 in South Africa’s 

Cape Colony, tracing the effects of 

socio-economic and cultural factors in 

the development of a distinctive type of 

racism that shaped South African race 

relations for centuries to come. 

‘This book, based on meticulous 

research, is well written and at times 

deliciously sharp. It provides an 

unprecedented account of the ways 

in which both the slaves of the Cape 

Colony and their erstwhile owners 

reorganized their intertwined lives 

in the aftermath of abolition. For 

the first time, a description of Cape 

society is combined with a clear 

understanding of the shifting social 

ideologies that led to an enhanced 

South African racism. It is a singular 

achievement.’

Ethnic Patriotism 

and the East 

African Revival 

A History of Dissent, c.1935–1972 

Derek R. Peterson 


This book shows how cosmopolitan 

Christian converts and East African 

patriots struggled to define political 

community in the mid-twentieth 

century. Derek Peterson traces the 

history of the East African Revival, an 

evangelical movement that challenged 

patriots’ effort to root people in place as 

inheritors of a cultural heritage. 

‘In this superb book, Peterson pulls 

off the rare feat of combining a 

compelling, comprehensive argument 

about a huge regional movement 

with sharply drawn, detailed 

documentation of the local singularity 

of the forms it took in seven different 

areas in Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya. 

The big picture positions the East 

African Revival as a form of critical 

practice, engaged in contestation 

with alternative, more conservative 

visions of society based on ethnic 

consolidation and the re-invention 

of tradition. In the documentation 

of local trajectories, what comes 

through most vividly is the converts 

themselves, in all their idiosyncrasy 

and humanity … individual voices and 

vignettes reveal the energy, initiative, 

and creativity these people brought 

to the radical project of convening a 

new kind of community. This book is a 

major achievement by any standards 

– original, convincing, deeply and 

broadly researched, and beautifully 

written.’

Black Morocco 

A History of Slavery, Race, and 

Islam 

Chouki El Hamel 


This book chronicles the experiences, 

identity and achievements of enslaved 

black people in Morocco from the 

sixteenth century to the beginning of 

the twentieth century, arguing that we 

cannot rely solely on Islamic ideology as 

the key to explaining social relations and 

particularly the history of black slavery in 

the Muslim world. 


‘In Black Morocco Professor El Hamel 

argues persuasively that contrary 

to Islamic principles, Northwest 

Africans imposed a racial slavery 

upon the black peoples of the region. 

Drawing on a vast array of sources 

in Arabic and European languages, 

he focuses on Sultan Mawlay Ismail’s 

enslavement of 221,000 black 

Moroccans in the late seventeenth 

century in order to form a slave army. 

These soldiers and their families 

leveraged the essential role they 

played in the Sultan’s government and 

gradually freed themselves, though 

many fell back into slavery after the 

demise of the Sultan’s dynasty. By 

recounting the waxing and waning 

fortunes of these black Moroccans, 

… El Hamel elegantly demonstrates 

the heartbreaking ambiguity of racial 

slavery and servility.’

Warfare in African 


Richard J. Reid 

University of London 

This book examines the role of war in 

shaping the African state, society, and 

economy. Richard J. Reid helps students 

understand different patterns of military 

organization through Africa’s history; 

the evolution of weaponry, tactics, and 

strategy; and the increasing prevalence 

of warfare and militarism in African 

political and economic systems. 

‘At long last, we have a scholarly 

book that effectively integrates 

the seemingly bewildering array of 

recent conflicts in Africa into a longer 

historical narrative about African 

social life. Admirably synthesizing 

vast amounts of historical research, 

Warfare in African History retains 

great readability, making it an 

accessible and necessary corrective 

to simplistic and ahistorical 

understandings of violent conflict in 

contemporary Africa. In revealing both 

the transformative and destructive 

capacities of warfare across the vast 

temporal and geographic sweep of 

African history, this book humanizes 

Africa’s histories of violence. In so 

doing, it changes how we think about 

African social, cultural and military 

history, and opens exciting new 

avenues towards including Africa in 

global military histories.’

and of two absolutely central works of 

Galenic philosophy, Affections and Errors 

and The Capacities of the Soul, by some 

of the foremost experts in the field. 

Each treatise has also been subjected 

to fresh textual study, taking account 

of the latest scholarly developments, 

and is presented with accompanying 

textual discussions, adding greatly to the 

value and accuracy of the work without 

detracting from its accessibility to a

Indigo Plantations 

and Science in 


Prakash Kumar 

Colorado State University 

Prakash Kumar documents the history of 

agricultural indigo, exploring the effects 

of globalisation on a colonial industry in 

South Asia, from its peasants’ traditions 

in the early modern period through the 

nineteenth century when indigo culture 

became more modern and sciencebased, 

to its decline after the end of the 

First World War, when synthetic indigo 

became more widely used. 

‘In examining the history of indigo 

cultivation and agricultural science 

in India, Kumar lucidly explores 

the intersection between imperial 

systems, technological modernity, 

and global knowledge diasporas. The 

book combines exemplary research 

with insightful and challenging 

theorization about the application and 

understanding of science in a colonial 

setting.’

History of Science 

Volume 2: Medieval Science 

David C. Lindberg 

and Michael H. Shank 

This volume in the highly respected 

Cambridge History of Science series is 

devoted to the history of science in the 

Middle Ages from the North Atlantic 

to the Indus Valley. Medieval science 

was once universally dismissed as 

non-existent – and sometimes it still 

is. This volume reveals the diversity of 

goals, contexts and accomplishments in 

the study of nature during the Middle 

Ages. Organized by topic and culture, 

its essays by distinguished scholars 

offer the most comprehensive and 

up-to-date history of medieval science 

currently available. Intended to provide a 

balanced and inclusive treatment of the 

medieval world, contributors consider 

scientific learning and advancement in 

the cultures associated with the Arabic, 

Greek, Latin and Hebrew languages. 

Scientists, historians and other curious 

readers will all gain a new appreciation 

for the study of nature during an era 

that is often misunderstood.

Exposing the Myths of the New

Douglas Porch 

Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California 

Douglas Porch’s sweeping history of 

counterinsurgency campaigns, ranging 

from nineteenth-century colonial 

conquests to General Petraeus’s ‘Surge’ 

in Iraq, challenges the contemporary 

mythologising of counterinsurgency as 

a humane way of war. The reality, he 

reveals, is that ‘hearts and minds’ has 

never been a recipe for lasting stability.

28 Military history 

Australia 1942 

In the Shadow of War 

Edited by Peter Dean 

Australian National University, Canberra 

Foreword by Kim Beazley 

In 1942, the shadow of modern war 

reached Australia’s shores for the first 

time. In this compelling volume, leading 

historians explore why 1942 was such 

a pivotal year in Australia’s history and 

explain how the nation confronted 

some of its greatest challenges. This 

broad ranging study covers key issues 

from political, economic and home 

front reform to the establishment of 

a new partnership with the United 

States; the role of the Air Force and 

the Navy; the bombing of Darwin; as 

well as the battles of Kokoda, Milne 

Bay, the Beachheads and Guadalcanal. 

Australia 1942 provides a unique and 

in-depth exploration of the controversy 

surrounding the potential for invasion. 

Japanese and Australian historians 

offer perspectives on Japanese military 

intentions and strategies towards 

Australia and the South Pacific. 

Generously illustrated, it is essential 

reading for anyone interested in one 

of Australia’s most decisive and critical 

years.

Kiev 1941 

Hitler’s Battle for Supremacy in 

the East 

David Stahel 

In just four weeks in the summer of 

1941 the German Wehrmacht wrought 

unprecedented destruction on four 

Soviet armies, conquering central 

Ukraine and killing or capturing three 

quarters of a million men. This was the 

Battle of Kiev – one of the largest and 

most decisive battles of World War II 

and, for Hitler and Stalin, a battle of 

crucial importance. For the first time, 

David Stahel charts the battle’s dramatic 

course and aftermath, uncovering 

the irreplaceable losses suffered by 

Germany’s ‘panzer groups’ despite their 

battlefield gains, and the implications of 

these losses for the German war effort. 

He illuminates the inner workings of the 

German army as well as the experiences 

of ordinary soldiers, showing that with 

the Russian winter looming and Soviet 

resistance still unbroken, victory came 

at huge cost and confirmed the turning 

point in Germany’s war in the East. 


‘David Stahel has written a 

remarkable book. Not only is it the 

fullest English-language account of 

the Battle of Kiev, based on an expert 

knowledge of the records of the 

German formations directly involved, 

but it is also a stimulating attempt 

to put what appeared to be Hitler’s 

greatest victory into the context of his 

eventual defeat.’

Operation Typhoon 

Hitler’s March on Moscow, 

October 1941 

David Stahel 

In October 1941 Hitler launched 

Operation Typhoon the German drive 

to capture Moscow and knock the 

Soviet Union out of the war. As the last 

chance to escape the dire implications 

of a winter campaign, Hitler directed 

seventy-five German divisions, almost 

two million men and three of Germany’s 

four panzer groups into the offensive, 

resulting in huge victories at Viaz’ma 

and Briansk – among the biggest 

battles of the Second World War. David 

Stahel’s groundbreaking new account 

of Operation Typhoon captures the 

perspectives of both the German high 

command and individual soldiers, 

revealing that despite success on the 

battlefield the wider German war effort 

was in far greater trouble than is often 

acknowledged. Germany’s hopes of 

final victory depended on the success of 

the October offensive but the autumn 

conditions and the stubborn resistance 

of the Red Army ensured that the 

capture of Moscow was anything but 

certain.

The Wars for Asia, 

1911–1949 

S. C. M. Paine 

Naval War College 

The Wars for Asia, 1911–1949 shows 

that the Western treatment of World 

War II, the Second Sino-Japanese 

War and the Chinese Civil War as 

separate events misrepresents their 

overlapping connections and causes. 

The Chinese Civil War precipitated a 

long regional war between China and 

Japan that went global in 1941 when 

the Chinese found themselves fighting 

a civil war within a regional war within 

an overarching global war. The global 

war that consumed Western attentions 

resulted from Japan’s peripheral strategy 

to cut foreign aid to China by attacking 

Pearl Harbour and Western interests 

throughout the Pacific in 1941. S. C. 

M. Paine emphasizes the fears and 

ambitions of Japan, China and Russia, 

and the pivotal decisions that set them 

on a collision course in the 1920s and 

1930s. The resulting wars together 

yielded a viscerally anti-Japanese and 

unified Communist China, the still-angry 

rising power of the early twenty-first 

century. 

‘Paine’s study offers new perspectives 

on imperialist wars and interventions 

in twentieth-century Asia. Based on 

multi-archival research, it addresses a 

range of issues in the fraught relations 

of Japan, China, Russia, and the United 

States. Students of comparative 

history will find Paine’s analytical 

framing particularly interesting.’

Hybrid Warfare 

Fighting Complex Opponents 

from the Ancient World to the 

Present 

Edited by Williamson Murray 

Ohio State University 

and Peter R. Mansoor 


Great powers throughout history have 

confronted opponents who combined 

regular and irregular forces to negate 

the advantage of the great powers’ 

superior conventional military strength. 

Using nine historical examples of hybrid 

warfare, from ancient Rome to the 

modern world, this study shows that 

hybrid wars are labour-intensive, longterm 

struggles that defy the domestic 

logic of opinion polls and election cycles. 

‘… highly readable, cohesively 

organized, and enthusiastically 

recommended as an invaluable guide 

for understanding how previous 

antagonists have sought advantage 

with strategic combinations. It 

is suitable for serious students 

of military history, analysts 

of contemporary conflict, and 

professionals at the command and 

general staff college level.’

Anzacs in the 

Middle East 

Australian Soldiers, their Allies 

and the Local People in World 

War II 

Mark Johnston 

Scotch College, Melbourne 

Anzacs in the Middle East is a 

compelling exploration of the 

experiences of soldiers who fought 

in the Middle East during World War 

II. Spurred by a sense of adventure 

and duty, they set sail to countries of 

which they knew very little. The book 

examines the relationships between 

Australians and their allies and also 

how they related to the local people: 

Greeks, Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese 

and Palestinians. Mark Johnston draws 

on extensive research to provide a new 

perspective on the famous campaigns 

at Tobruk and Alamein, as well as 

significant but less familiar battles at 

Bardia, Retimo and Damascus. Featuring 

first-hand accounts and stories from the 

front line, the book discovers the true 

nature of the ‘larrikin Australian’ and 

is a must-read for anyone interested in 

Australia’s military history. This book is a 

companion volume to Mark Johnston’s 

previous books, At the Front Line and 

Fighting the Enemy.

To Win the Battle 

The 1st Australian Division in the 

Great War 1914–1918 

Robert Stevenson 


In 1915 the 1st Australian Division led 

the way ashore at Gallipoli. In 1916 it 

achieved the first Australian victory on 

the Western Front at Pozières. It was still 

serving with distinction in the battles 

that led to the defeat of the German 

army in 1918. To Win the Battle explains 

how the division rose from obscurity to 

forge a reputation as one of the great 

fighting formations of the British Empire 

during the First World War, forming 

a central part of the Anzac legend. 

Drawing on primary sources as well as 

recent scholarship, this fresh approach 

suggests that the early reputation of 

Australia’s premier division was probably 

higher than its performance warranted. 

Robert Stevenson shows that the 

division’s later success was founded 

on the capacity of its commanders 

to administer, train and adapt to the 

changing conditions on the battlefield, 

rather than on the innate qualities of its 

soldiers.

The Hard Slog 

Australians in the Bougainville 

Campaign, 1944–45 

Karl James 

Australian War Memorial 

The island of Bougainville in the South 

Pacific was the site of one of the largest 

and most gruelling campaigns fought 

by Australian forces during the Second 

World War. During the offensive against 

the Japanese from November 1944 to 

August 1945, more than 500 Australians 

were killed and two Victoria Crosses 

awarded. A veteran later described 

Bougainville as ‘one long bloody hard 

slog’. Despite this, little is known about 

the campaign, which was dismissed as 

an unnecessary and costly operation. In 

the first major study of the Bougainville 

campaign since 1963, Karl James argues 

that it was in fact a justifiable use of 

Australia’s military resources. Drawing 

on original archival research, including 

wartime reports and soldiers’ letters and 

diaries, James illustrates the experience 

of Australian soldiers who fought. 

Generously illustrated with over forty 

photographs, this important book tells 

how this often overlooked battle played 

an important part in Australia’s Second 

World War victory.

The Kokoda 

Campaign 1942 

Myth and Reality 

Peter Williams 

Darwin Military Museum 

The fighting on the Kokoda Track in 

World War II is second only to Gallipoli 

in the Australian national consciousness. 

The Kokoda campaign of 1942 has 

taken on mythical status in Australian 

military history. According to the 

legend, Australian soldiers were vastly 

outnumbered by the Japanese, who 

suffered great losses in battle and as 

a result of the harsh conditions of the 

Kokoda Track. In this important book, 

Peter Williams seeks to dispel the 

Kokoda myth. Using extensive research 

and Japanese sources, he explains 

what really happened on the Kokoda 

Track in 1942. Unlike most other books 

written from an Australian perspective, 

The Kokoda Campaign 1942: Myth 

and reality focuses on the strategies, 

tactics and battle plans of the Japanese 

and shows that the Australians were 

in fact rarely outnumbered. For the 

first time, this book combines narrative 

with careful analysis to present an 

undistorted picture of the events of the 

campaign. It is a must-read for anyone 

who is interested in the truth of the 

Kokoda campaign of 1942.

massive conflicts that erupted in the 

mid nineteenth century in the US, 

Asia and Europe, leading historians 

trace the global evolution of warfare 

through ‘the age of mass’, ‘the age of 

machine’ and ‘the age of management’. 

They explore how industrialization and 

nationalism fostered vast armies whilst 

the emergence of mobile warfare and 

improved communications systems 

made possible the ‘total warfare’ of the 

two World Wars. With military conflict 

regionalized after 1945 they show how 

guerrilla and asymmetrical warfare 

highlighted the limits of the machine 

and mass as well as the importance 

of the media in winning ‘hearts and 

minds’. This is a comprehensive guide to 

every facet of modern war from strategy 

and operations to its social, cultural, 

technological and political contexts and

of civilians caught up in the mass

‘Using dramatic personal testimony, 

Dombrowski Risser uncovers how 

the 1940 ‘Exodus’ politicized women, 

what the longer-term repercussions

during World War Two.’

analyze the company’s 150-year history 

(1863–2013) from economic, political

‘This is perhaps the most important

other histories, but for the first time 

we now have a highly professional 

account from the inside of a company 

that was the earliest and largest 

European chemical multinational, yet 

that remained a successful and wellmanaged 

family partnership until its 

public flotation on the Brussels stock 

exchange in 1967 and further global 

expansion and diversification as a 

public joint stock company.’

of the Greco-Roman 

World 

Edited by Walter Scheidel 


Ian Morris 


and Richard P. Saller 


In this, the first comprehensive 

one-volume survey of the economies 

of classical antiquity, twenty-eight 

chapters summarise the current state 

of scholarship in their specialised fields 

and sketch new directions for research. 

The approach taken is both thematic, 

with chapters on the underlying 

determinants of economic performance, 

and chronological, with coverage of the 

whole of the Greek and Roman worlds 

extending from the Aegean Bronze 

Age to Late Antiquity. The contributors 

move beyond the substantivist-formalist 

debates that dominated twentiethcentury 

scholarship and display a new 

interest in economic growth in antiquity. 

New methods for measuring economic 

development are explored, often 

combining textual and archaeological 

data that have previously been treated 

separately. Fully accessible to nonspecialist, 

the volume represents a 

major advance in our understanding 

of the economic expansion that 

made the civilisation of the classical 

Mediterranean world possible. 


‘By presenting current scholarship 

and its prospective future course, 

the editors have produced a 

very important work. Prodigious 

bibliography … Summing up: highly 

recommended.’

The Economic History 

of the Caribbean since 

the Napoleonic Wars 

Victor Bulmer-Thomas 


This book examines the economic history 

of the Caribbean. Using a specially 

constructed database to observe trends 

across the whole region, it challenges 

many long-standing assumptions about 

the region and sheds new light on the 

history of three countries in particular, 

namely Belize, Cuba and Haiti. 

‘Finally, a comprehensive and 

brilliantly lucid economic history of 

the Caribbean from 1820 on that 

navigates masterfully through fogs of 

mythology and misunderstanding to 

deliver the most penetrating analysis 

of the region’s political economy 

ever written. Backed by mountains 

of new data (tucked neatly into 

appendices and a freely accessible 

website), Bulmer-Thomas shows how 

success or failure of the Caribbean 

economies often depended on how 

they coped with an external economic 

and policy environment they had little 

or no capacity to influence. Separate 

chapters on Haiti after independence 

and Cuba since 1959 are so insightful 

that they alone are worth the price of 

the book.’

Explaining Long-Term 

Trends in Health 

and Longevity 

Robert W. Fogel 


This collection of essays by Nobel 

laureate Robert W. Fogel describes the 

theory and measurement of ageing 

and health-related variables. Dr Fogel 

analyzes historic data on height, health, 

nutrition and life expectation to provide 

a clearer understanding of the past, 

illustrate the costs and benefits of using 

such measures and note the difficulties 

of drawing conclusions from data 

intended for different purposes. 

‘Initially met with skepticism, 

anthropometric history has, over the 

past decades, become established as 

an important tool in studies of longterm 

changes in health and well-being, 

largely due to the work of Robert 

Fogel. This comprehensive collection 

of essays, written over a period of 25 

years, gives new students an excellent 

overview of his contribution to the 

field, which has inspired many of us. 

Each essay shows Fogel’s eminent 

ability to develop a synthesis based 

on a diversity of data, sometimes rich, 

sometimes meager. The story of how 

first food, then environment, and now 

lifestyles determine the length of 

our lives is compelling, if not without 

challenge.’

Rules of Exchange 

French Capitalism in Comparative 

Perspective, Eighteenth to Early 

Twentieth Centuries 

Alessandro Stanziani 

Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales,

Provides a new intellectual, economic 

and legal history of capitalism from 

the eighteenth century to the early

interaction between economic practices 

and legal constructions in France and 

compares the French case with other 

Western countries during this period, 

such as the United Kingdom, the United 

States, Germany and Italy. 

‘Stanziani explores European 

economic development from a 

fresh angle, substituting a focus on 

law, credit, institutions, regulation, 

and organizational innovations 

for the customary centrality of 

technology and industry. The result 

is a provocative, practice-centered 

analysis, stretching across four 

centuries. An extraordinary recasting 

of economic history, as arresting as it

Trade and Institutions 

in the Medieval 

Mediterranean 

The Geniza Merchants and their 

Business World 

Jessica L. Goldberg 

University of Pennsylvania 

The business world of the eleventhcentury 

Geniza merchants, or ‘Maghribi 

traders’, is central to debates about the 

origins of long-term economic growth 

and the institutional bases of trade. 

This book maps the shifting geographic 

relationships of the medieval Islamic 

economy and explores the foundations 

of later European economic dominance. 

‘Goldberg brilliantly combines a 

historian’s knowledge of detail and 

an economist’s conceptual framework 

to enrich our understanding of 

transactions and their governance. 

She shows how the many-dimensional 

relationships among traders interact 

with multiple institutions enforcing 

property rights and contracts; this 

brings the research frontier closer 

to relevance and applicability. Her 

book is a must-read for researchers 

and students not only in medieval 

and economic history, but also 

in institutional and development 

economics.’

The Foundations of 

Worldwide Economic 

Integration 

Power, Institutions, and Global 

Markets, 1850–1930 

Edited by Christof Dejung 

Universität Konstanz, Germany 

and Niels P. Petersson 

Sheffield Hallam University 

The essays in this volume discuss 

worldwide economic integration 

between 1850 and 1930, challenging 

the popular description of the period 

after 1918 as one of deglobalisation. By 

showing that institutionalism altered its 

shape in circumstances that challenged 

international trade, and presenting case 

studies from various countries, this book 

offers a fresh perspective on economic 

globalisation. 


‘It has become commonplace to argue 

that institutions and rules matter 

greatly to economic performance. But 

how did these institutions and rules 

emerge and take the particular shapes 

that they did Christof Dejung’s 

and Niels P. Petersson’s significant 

collection takes a sustained look at 

global trade in the late nineteenth and 

early twentieth centuries and shows 

how European merchants, Indian 

peasants, imperial statesmen, and 

others, constructed these institutions 

and rules. Far from a definite set of 

tools, the institutions that enabled 

global trade were the outcome of 

sustained social contestation on local 

marketplaces, in national politics, 

and across ocean-spanning trade 

networks. Power is back to the debate 

on institutions – and this book is a 

must-read for anyone interested in 

this important story.’

The Great Recession 

Market Failure or Policy Failure 

Robert L. Hetzel 

Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond 

The 2008–2009 recession destroyed 

the professional consensus about the 

kinds of models required to understand 

cyclical fluctuations, reviving creditcycle 

explanations of recession that 

dominated nineteenth- and early 

twentieth-century thinking. These 

‘market-disorder’ views emphasize 

excessive risk taking in financial markets 

and the need for government regulation. 

‘Hetzel’s book is a detailed, 

authoritative account of the recent 

credit turmoil and recession told as 

part of a narrative monetary history 

of business cycles dating back to the 

nineteenth century. The book is an 

immensely rewarding read for serious 

students of central banking.’

manufacturing powerhouses. However, 

this is not a new phenomenon: until the 

industrial revolution, Asia manufactured 

great quantities of colourful printed 

cottons that were sold to places as far 

afield as Japan, West Africa and Europe. 

Cotton explores this earlier globalised 

economy and its transformation after 

1750 as cotton led the way in the 

industrialisation of Europe. By the early 

nineteenth century, India, China and 

the Ottoman Empire switched from 

world producers to buyers of European 

cotton textiles, a position that they 

retained for over two hundred years. 

This is a fascinating and insightful story 

which ranges from Asian and European 

technologies and African slavery to 

cotton plantations in the Americas and 

consumer desires across the globe.

The Emergence of 

International Society 

in the 1920s 

Daniel Gorman 

Chronicling the emergence of an 

international society in the 1920s, 

Daniel Gorman describes how the shock 

of the First World War gave rise to a 

broad array of overlapping initiatives 

in international cooperation. Though 

national rivalries continued to plague 

world politics, ordinary citizens and 

state officials found common causes in 

politics, religion, culture and sport with 

peers beyond their borders. 

‘Daniel Gorman’s argument, that 

international society during the 1920s 

developed out of the interaction of 

imperialism and internationalism, is 

an arresting one. His stage is peopled 

with private citizens and public 

officials, nations and foundations, 

interest groups and interested 

individuals, all trying to remake the 

world into a safer place. Beginnings 

were made and seeds were sown, 

but there was not enough time. 

This important book details the 

philosophies, the aspirations, the 

successes, and the failures of his wellintentioned 

actors.’

The Look of the Past 

Visual and Material Evidence in 

Historical Practice 

Ludmilla Jordanova 


Analysing visual and material culture 

is central to the historian’s craft 

and The Look of the Past provides a 

much-needed introduction to the use 

of artefacts as evidence. Accessibly 

written and generously illustrated, this 

textbook develops the skills students 

need in order to describe, analyse and 

contextualise images and objects. 

‘Few scholars can match Jordanova’s 

ability to further historical practice 

through precise analysis, originality 

and thought-provoking questions, and 

this pioneering publication is a ‘howto’ 

book in the best possible sense. 

Beautifully illustrated and offering 

carefully selected bibliographical 

advice, The Look of the Past 

significantly enriches the historians’ 

toolbox and throws out rusty remains. 

A winner!’

Party Pursuits and 

The Presidential- 

House Election 

Connection, 1900–2008 

Jeffrey M. Stonecash 

Syracuse University, New York 

This study proposes an alternative 

explanation of the relationship changes 

between presidential and House 

of Representatives election results. 

Stonecash argues that the separation of 

presidential and House election results 

occurring from the 1960s to 1980 was 

a party-driven process, with both parties 

seeking to change their electoral base. 


‘A valuable historical perspective … 

Stonecash demonstrates that the 

decline and re-emergence of the 

connection between presidential and 

U.S. House elections over the past 

sixty years was a product of shifts in 

the ideological underpinnings of the 

American party system – driven by 

party leaders. A must-read for anyone 

wanting to understand our current 

polarized party system.’

Science, Democracy, 

and the American 


From the Civil War to the Cold 

War 

Andrew Jewett 


This book fundamentally reinterprets 

the role of science in American culture 

by focusing on the political views of 

natural and social scientists in the late 

nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. 

Many of them, rather than uncritically 

supporting modern capitalism and the 

bureaucratic state, instead hoped to 

empower the public to take control of 

these new forms of social power.

Presidential 

Saber Rattling 

Causes and Consequences 

B. Dan Wood 

Texas A & M University 

Between 1945 and 2008, American 

presidents issued 4,269 threats to 

nineteen different countries. Professor 

B. Dan Wood evaluates the causes and 

consequences of these threats, revealing 

the nature of presidential foreign policy 

representation and its consistency with 

the founding fathers’ intentions. 

‘Students of the presidency have given 

immense attention to presidential 

public rhetoric and presidents going 

public, but rarely have studied a 

president’s foreign policy rhetoric. 

B. Dan Wood, one of our most 

respected presidency scholars, does 

so in Presidential Saber Rattling. 

Not only does Wood develop the 

concept of presidential saber rattling, 

but he meticulously collects and 

analyzes more than 50 years of such 

presidential rhetoric. And he reminds 

us that saber rattling is an important 


38 American history (general) 

form of presidential policy making. 

[This book] is destined to become 

a classic and to stimulate future 

research.’

Executive Editor Kenneth E. 

Goodpaster

This landmark history of corporate 

responsibility documents corporate 

power and business behaviour from 

the mid-eighteenth century to the 

modern day. It shows how corporate 

responsibility has evolved, with the 

roles, responsibilities and performance 

of corporations coming increasingly 

under the spotlight as new norms of 

transparency and accountability emerge. 

‘This amazing book provides a 

terrific overview of the emergence 

and development of the ways that 

businesses have both responded to 

public pressures for taking on more 

responsibilities and, in some instances, 

abrogated those very responsibilities. 

It is a tale that has been waiting a 

long time to be told and should be 

required reading for anyone hoping 

to understand the context in which 

today’s corporate responsibility 

paradigm has arisen. The four authors’ 

voices blend perfectly to create a 

stunning panorama sweeping over 

200 years, focusing on both the flaws 

and the greatness of corporations in 

America today.’

The Cambridge History 

of Religions in America 

Edited by Stephen J. Stein 

Indiana University, Bloomington 

The three volumes of The Cambridge 

History of Religions in America trace 

the historical development of religious 

traditions in America, following both 

their transplantation from other parts 

of the world and the inauguration 

of new religious movements on the 

continent of North America. This history 

shows complex relationships among 

these religious communities as well as 

the growth of distinctive theological 

ideas and religious practices. The 

result of this development in North 

America is a rich religious culture 

that includes representatives of most 

of the world’s religions. Volume 1 

extends chronologically from prehistoric 

times until 1790, a date linked to the 

formation of the United States as a 

nation. Volume 2 focuses on the time 

period from 1790 until 1945. Volume 

3 examines the religious situation 

in the United States from the end of 

the Second World War to the second 

decade of the twenty-first century, 

contextualized in the larger North 

American continental context.

The Cambridge History 

of Law in America 

Edited by Michael Grossberg 

and Christopher Tomlins 

University of California, Irvine 

Law stands at the center of modern 

American life. Since the 1950s, 

American historians have produced 

an extraordinarily rich and diverse 

account of law and legal institutions in 

American history. But even though our 

knowledge has increased enormously, 

few attempts have been made to draw 

its many parts together in some greater 

whole that summarizes and synthesizes 

the history of law in America. The 

Cambridge History of Law in America 

has been designed for just this purpose. 

Sixty of the leading historians of law in 

the United States have been brought 

together in one enterprise to present the 

most comprehensive and authoritative 

account possible of the history of 

American law. The Cambridge History of 

Law in America has been made possible 

by the generous support of the American 

Bar Foundation. 

‘The publication of the three volumes 

of the Cambridge History of Law in 

America is undoubtedly a publishing 

tour de force and provides an 

unrivalled expression of current 

thinking on how and why American 

law and its institutions developed 

from the earliest settlements through 

to the early twenty-first century.’

city and those in the countryside 

remains one of China’s most intractable 

problems. This powerful work of 

grassroots history traces the origins of 

China’s rural-urban divide back to the 

Mao Zedong era. Harrowing accounts 

reveal how Chinese people fought back 

against policies that pitted city dwellers 

against villagers.

Youth Culture in China 

From Red Guards to Netizens 

Paul Clark 

University of Auckland 

Paul Clark examines today’s youth 

culture phenomena – centred on music, 

fashions and distinct spaces (both real 

and virtual) for the young – and traces 

their roots to three historical points – 

1968, 1988 and 2008. In doing so, he 

argues that present-day youth culture in 

China has both international and local 

roots. 

‘Employing an interdisciplinary 

perspective, Paul Clark’s impressively 

researched volume on youth culture 

in China would be an excellent choice 

for history, sociology, anthropology 

or political science classes that 

incorporate a China component. By 

taking a forty-year perspective and 

wisely focusing on the key years 

of 1968, 1988 and 2008, he is able 

to trace continuities and contrasts 

from the Cultural Revolution period 

down to the present. Examining 

both academic journals intended 

for specialists and popular journals 

intended for the youth themselves, 

and offering quite detailed accounts 

of the most important cultural events 

in the three periods and their larger 

social influence, Clark has produced a 

book that will be become a standard 

and much-cited work in the China 

studies field.’

Yinyang 

The Way of Heaven and Earth in 

Chinese Thought and Culture 

Robin R. Wang 

Loyola Marymount University, California 

The concept of yinyang lies at the 

heart of Chinese thought and culture. 

The relationship between these two 

opposing, yet mutually dependent, 

forces is explored in this brilliant book. 

Rooted in the Chinese philosophical 

tradition, the book also demonstrates 

how yinyang thought manifested itself in 

diverse cultural practices from divination 

to the art of war.

Edited and translated by David R. 

Knechtges 

University of Washington 

Written by scholars at Peking University, 

this is a history of Chinese civilisation 

in its totality, from Neolithic times to 

the founding of the Chinese Republic 

in 1911. Each of the four volumes 

covers political and social institutions, 

economics, religion, philosophy, science 

and technology, literature, art and 

daily life. There is no other work in the 

English language that covers this range 

of subjects in a single history. These 

volumes make accessible a wealth of 

historical research and sources that 

have not previously been translated, 

and provide insights into the views of 

the foremost Chinese scholars of their 

generation. These views are placed 

in context by newly commissioned 

introductions to each volume, and 

discussion throughout is supported by 

illustrations sourced from collections 

around the world. This ambitious and 

inspiring work will stimulate fresh 

debate across the humanities and social 

sciences, opening new avenues of 

academic exchange between East and 

West.

Modern Islamic 

Thought in a 

Radical Age 

Religious Authority and Internal 

Criticism 

Muhammad Qasim Zaman 


Among traditionally educated scholars, 

there is considerable disagreement on 

the crises that afflict modern Muslim 

societies. Through an analysis of their 

work, both in the Arab Middle East and 

in India and Pakistan, this book explores 

some of the most fiercely debated issues 

facing the Islamic world today. 

‘For those seeking to understand 

debates among Muslim scholars on 

contemporary political and social 

issues, I could hardly think of a more 

profound study than this one. Few 

scholars have the depth and reach to 

accomplish what Zaman does here, 

which is nothing less than a sociohistory 

of modern Islamic thought. 

[He] returns again and again to 

the formative debates of the late 

nineteenth century to discuss a wide 

range of issues. A tour de force.’

Modern Libya 


Dirk Vandewalle 


In the wake of civil war and Qadhafi’s 

demise, Dirk Vandewalle updates his 

classic study of Libya to trace events 

since 2005. These were the years that 

Qadhafi came in from the cold and was 

courted by the west. At home, though, 

his people were disillusioned, and 

economic liberalization came too late 

to forestall revolution. In an epilogue, 

the author reflects upon Qadhafi’s 

premiership and the legacy that he 

leaves behind. 

‘Much more than a political, 

chronological or narrative review 

in 200 pages, this work effectively 

delivers a sympathetic, nevertheless 

critical, thorough and authoritative 

analysis … Highly recommended.’

The Cambridge History of Turkey 

represents a monumental enterprise. The 

History, comprising four volumes, covers 

the period from the end of the eleventh 

century, with the arrival of the Turks 

in Anatolia, through the emergence 

of the early Ottoman state, and its 

development into a powerful empire in 

the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, 

encompassing a massive territory 

from the borders of Iran in the east, to 

Hungary in the west, and North Africa 

and the Arabian Peninsula in the south. 

The last volume covers its destruction in 

the aftermath of the First World War, and 

the history of the modern state of Turkey 

which arose from the ashes of empire. 

Chapters from an international team of 

contributors reflect the very significant 

advances that have taken place in 

Ottoman history and Turkish studies in 

recent years.

History of Turkey 

Volume 2: The Ottoman Empire as a World 

Power, 1453–1603 

Edited by Suraiya N. Faroqhi 

Istanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi 

and Kate Fleet 

Newnham College, Cambridge 

Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of 

Turkey examines the period from the 

conquest of Constantinople in 1453 

to the accession of Ahmed I in 1603. 

During this period, the Ottoman Empire 

moved into a new phase of expansion, 

emerging in the sixteenth century as a 

dominant political player on the world 

scene. With territory stretching around 

the Mediterranean from the Adriatic 

Sea to Morocco, and from the Caucasus 

to the Caspian Sea, the Ottomans 

reached the apogee of their military 

might in a period seen by many later 

Ottomans, and historians, as a golden 

age in which the state was strong, the 

sultan’s might unquestionable, and 

intellectual life and the arts flourishing. 

In this volume, leading scholars assess 

the considerable expansion of Ottoman 

power and effervescence of the Ottoman 

intellectual and cultural world. They also 

investigate the challenges that faced 

the Ottoman state, particularly in the 

later period, as the empire experienced 

economic crises, revolts and drawn-out 

wars.

state. Charting a course through 

twentieth-century Iran, he analyses 

the impact of these ideas on different 

regimes and their historiographical and 

political connections. He concludes that 

revolutionary developments in the early 

twentieth century paved the way for 

later radicalisation.

why laws changed and how different

inculcating moral values. While there has 

been abundant scholarship on medieval 

Christian and Jewish preaching, this 

book is the first to consider the tradition 

of pulpit oratory in the medieval Islamic 

world.

A History 

James Forsyth 

University of Aberdeen 

A fascinating new survey of the 

Caucasus which provides a unified 

narrative history of this complex and 

turbulent region at the borderlands 

of Europe, Asia and the Middle East, 

from prehistory to the present. For 

thousands of years the Caucasus has 

formed a hub of intersecting routes of 

migration, invasion, trade and culture 

and a geographical bridge between 

Europe and Asia, subject to recurring 

imperial invasion. Drawing on sources in 

English, Russian and translations from

study centres on the region’s indigenous 

peoples, including Abkhazians, 

Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Chechens, 

Daghestanis, Circassians, and Georgians, 

and their relations with outsiders who 

still play a part in the life of the region 

today. The book presents a critical view 

of the role of Russian imperialism in the

struggle of most of its native peoples 

in their efforts to establish a precarious 

independence.

Violence and 

Social Orders 

A Conceptual Framework for 

Interpreting Recorded Human 


Douglass C. North 

Washington University, St Louis 

John Joseph Wallis 

University of Maryland, College Park 

and Barry R. Weingast 


All societies must deal with the 

possibility of violence, and they do so 

in different ways. This book integrates 

the problem of violence into a larger 

social science and historical framework, 

showing how economic and political 

behavior are closely linked. Most 

societies, which we call natural states, 

limit violence by political manipulation 

of the economy to create privileged 

interests. These privileges limit the use 

of violence by powerful individuals, 

but doing so hinders both economic 

and political development. In contrast, 

modern societies create open access to 

economic and political organizations, 

fostering political and economic 

competition. The book provides a 

framework for understanding the 

two types of social orders, why open 

access societies are both politically 

and economically more developed, and 

how some 25 countries have made the 

transition between the two types. 


‘With bravado, abandon, and great 

learning, North, Wallis, and Weingast 

have produced an excellent read – a 

book that is intriguing, entertaining, 

irritating, and provocative. Violence 


46 History (general), world history 

and Social Orders is an important 

book that deserves a wide readership. 

Its concepts will shape academic 

discourse and its arguments in 

the fields of economic history and 

development studies.’

African-Atlantic 

Cultures and the South 

Carolina Lowcountry 

Ras Michael Brown 

Southern Illinois University, Carbondale 

Examines perceptions of the natural 

world revealed by the religious ideas 

and practices of African-descended 

communities in South Carolina from 

the colonial period into the twentieth 

century. Focusing on Kongo nature 

spirits known as the simbi, Ras 

Michael Brown describes the essential 

role religion played in key historical 

processes. 

‘Brown brings a distinct expertise to 

scholarship on the religious heritages 

of African-descended peoples in 

North America and other regions 

of the Americas. His contributions 

to what we now know about the 

African religious cultures of enslaved 

Africans and African Americans on 

the US mainland are unparalleled. 

Brown breaks with stubborn research 

practices and assumptive standpoints 

in African-American religious history 

to expand our knowledge about 

African-American religion before the 

mid-eighteenth century and to rethink 

some of the established frameworks 

for interpreting African-American 

religion since the mid-eighteenth 

century.’

History of ideas 

and intellectual 

history 

Mill and Paternalism 

Gregory Claeys 

Royal Holloway, University of London 

Giving prominence for the first 

time to Mill’s abiding concern with 

Malthusianism and its impact on his 

key arguments respecting liberty, Mill 

and Paternalism explores Mill’s strong 

commitment to population control, 

popular education, feminism and 

the leading role of intellectual elites, 

alongside his overarching interests in 

both liberty and equality. 


‘Mill’s On Liberty has been all-too 

successful with philosophers and 

political theorists in achieving his goal 

of writing a ‘philosophic textbook of 

a single truth’. In this comprehensive 

reassessment of Mill’s career as social 

and political commentator, Gregory 

Claeys shows how Mill’s single 

truth on the limits of interference in 

individual lives needs to be modified 

when the equally urgent concerns of 

his political economy, feminism, and 

interest in socialism are brought into 

the reckoning.’
