Why Dont American Cities Burn?

Michael B. Katz
At 1:27 on the morning of August 4, 2005, Herbert Manes fatally stabbed Robert Monroe, known as Shorty, in a dispute over five dollars. It was a horrific yet mundane incident for the poor, heavily African American neighborhood of North Philadelphiaone of seven homicides to occur in the city that day and yet not make the major newspapers. For Michael B. Katz, an urban historian and a juror on the murder trial, the story of Manes and Shorty exemplified the marginalization, social isolation, and indifference that plague American cities. Introduced by the gripping narrative of this murder and its circumstances, Why Dont American Cities Burn? charts the emergence of the urban forms that underlie such events. Katz traces the collision of urban transformation with the rightward-moving social politics of late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century America. He shows how the bifurcation of black social structures produced a new African American inequality and traces the shift from images of a pathological black underclass to praise of the entrepreneurial poor who take advantage of new technologies of poverty work to find the beginning of the path to the middle class. He explores the reasons American cities since the early 1970s have remained relatively free of collective violence while black men in bleak inner-city neighborhoods have turned their rage inward on one another rather than on the agents and symbols of a culture and political economy that exclude them. The book ends with a meditation on how the political left and right have come to believe that urban transformation is inevitably one of failure and decline abetted by the response of government to deindustrialization, poverty, and race. How, Katz asks, can we construct a new narrative that acknowledges the dark side of urban history even as it demonstrates the capacity of government to address the problems of cities and their residents? How can we create a politics of modest hope?

The Al Qaeda Factor

Plots Against the West
Mitchell D. Silber
The horrific and devastating events of September 11, 2001 changed the worlds perception of Al Qaeda. What had been considered a small band of revolutionary terrorists capable only of attacking Western targets in the Middle East and Africa suddenly demonstrated an ability to strike globally with enormous impact. Subsequent plots perpetuated the impression of Al Qaeda as a highly organized and rigidly controlled organization with recruiters, operatives, and sleeper cells in the West who could be activated on command. We now know, however, that the role of Al Qaeda in global jihadist plots has varied significantly over time. New York Police Department terrorism expert Mitchell D. Silber argues that to comprehend the threat posed by the transnational jihad movement, we must have a greater and more nuanced understanding of the dynamics behind Al Qaeda plots. In The Al Qaeda Factor he examines sixteen Al Qaedaassociated plots and attacks, from the 1993 World Trade Center bombing to today. For each case, he probes primary sources and applies a series of questions to determine the precise involvement of Al Qaeda. What connects radicalized groups in the West to the core Al Qaeda organization in the borderlands of Afghanistan and Pakistan? Does one of the plotters have to attend an Al Qaeda training camp or meet with an Al Qaeda trainer, or can they simply be inspired by Al Qaeda ideology? Further analysis examines the specifics of Al Qaedas role in the inspiration, formation, membership, and organization of terrorist groups. Silber also identifies potential points of vulnerability, which may raise the odds of thwarting future terrorist attacks in the West. The Al Qaeda Factor demonstrates that the role of Al Qaeda is very limited even in plots with direct involvement. Silber finds that in the majority of cases, individuals went to Al Qaeda seeking aid or training, but even then there was limited direct command and control of the terrorists activitiesa sobering conclusion that demonstrates that even the destruction of Al Qaedas core would not stop Al Qaeda plots. Mitchell D. Silber is Director of Intelligence Analysis for the New York Police Department.

Afghanistan Declassified
A Guide to Americas Longest War
Brian Glyn Williams
A useful, well-written, and well-researched primer on Afghanistan. Peter Bergen, author of The Longest War: The Enduring Conflict Between America and Al Qaeda Nearly 100,000 U.S. soldiers are deployed to Afghanistan, fighting the longest war in the nations history. But what do Americans know about the land where this conflict is taking place? Many have come to have a grasp of the people, history, and geography of Iraq, but Afghanistan remains a mystery. Originally published by the U.S. Army to provide an overview of the countrys terrain, ethnic groups, and history for American troops and now updated and expanded for the general public, Afghanistan Declassified fills in these gaps. Historian Brian Glyn Williams, who has traveled to Afghanistan frequently over the past decade, provides essential background to the war, tracing the rise, fall, and reemergence of the Taliban. Special sections deal with topics such as the CIAs Predator drone campaign in the Pakistani tribal zones,
the spread of suicide bombing from Iraq to the Afghan theater of operations, and comparisons between the Soviet and U.S. experiences in Afghanistan. To Williams, a historian of Central Asia, Afghanistan is not merely a theater in the war on terror. It is a primeval, exciting, and beautiful land; not only a place of danger and turmoil but also one of hospitable villagers and stunning landscapes, of great cultural diversity and richness. Williams brings the country to life through his own travel experiencesfrom living with Northern Alliance Uzbek warlords to working on a major NATO base. National heroes are introduced, Afghanistans varied ethnic groups are explored, key battlesboth ancient and currentare retold, and this land that many see as only a frightening setting for prolonged war emerges in three dimensions. Brian Glyn Williams is Associate Professor of Islamic History at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth.

Bombshell
Women and Terrorism
Mia Bloom
Between 1985 and 2008, female suicide bombers committed more than 230 attacksabout a quarter of all such acts. Women have become the ideal stealth weapon for terrorist groups. They are less likely to be suspected or searched and as a result have been used to strike at the heart of coalition troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. This alarming tactic has been highly effective garnering extra media attention and helping to recruit more numbers to the terrorists cause. Yet as Mia Bloom explains in Bombshell: Women and Terrorism, female involvement in terrorism is not confined to suicide bombing and not limited to the Middle East. From Northern Ireland to Sri Lanka, women have been engaged in all manner of terrorist activities, from generating propaganda to blowing up targets. What drives women to participate in terrorist activities? Blooma scholar of both international studies and womens studiesblends scrupulous research with psychological insight to unearth affecting stories from women who were formerly terrorists. She also moves beyond gender stereotypes to examine the conditions that really influence female violence, arguing that while women terrorists can be just as bloodthirsty as their male counterparts, their motivations tend to be more intricate and multilayered. Through compelling case studies she demonstrates that though some of these women volunteer as martyrs, many more have been coerced by physical threats or other means of social control. As evidenced by the March 2011 release of Al Qaedas magazine Al Shamikha, dubbed the jihadi Cosmo, it is clear that women are the future of even the most conservative terrorist organizations, and until women are profiled and suspected, the groups will not shift their operations. Bombshell is a groundbreaking book that reveals the inner workings of a shocking, unfamiliar world. Mia Bloom is Associate Professor of International Studies and Womens Studies at Penn State University and a fellow at the International Center for the Study of Terrorism. She is the author of Dying to Kill: The Allure of Suicide Terror.

Engineering the Financial Crisis

Systemic Risk and the Failure of Regulation
Jeffrey Friedman and Wladimir Kraus
This book provides an important perspective on the financial crisis, arguing that most narratives of the crisis understate the importance of risk-based capital regulations as a causal factor. This is an important point of view, and the authors make a strong case. Arnold Kling, author of Unchecked and Unbalanced: How the Discrepancy Between Knowledge and Power Caused the Financial Crisis and Threatens Democracy One of the lasting legacies of Reaganomics is a deep-seated distrust of government intervention in the markets. Despite this still-popular sentiment, the Basel Accords, a set of international standards for banking supervision and regulation, have been the subject of remarkably little public criticism. While academics and practitioners decry the enforcement of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on accounting reform or attempts by Congress to regulate executive compensation, the Basel Accords have been quietly accepted. In one of the first studies critically to examine the Basel Accords, Engineering the Financial Crisis reveals the crucial role that bank capital requirements and other government regulations played in the recent financial crisis. Jeffrey Friedman and Wladimir Kraus argue that by encouraging banks to invest in highly rated mortgage-backed bonds, the Basel Accords created an overconcentration of risk in the banking industry. In addition, accounting regulations required banks to reduce lending if the temporary market value of these bonds declined, as they did in 2007 and 2008 during the panic over subprime mortgage defaults.
The book begins by assessing leading theories about the crisis deregulation, bank compensation practices, excessive leverage, too big to fail, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Macand, through careful evidentiary scrutiny, debunks much of the conventional wisdom about what went wrong. It then discusses the Basel Accords and how they contributed to systemic risk. Finally, it presents an analysis of social-science expertise and the fallibility of economists and regulators. Engagingly written, theoretically inventive yet empirically grounded, Engineering the Financial Crisis is a timely examination of the unintendedand sometimes disastrouseffects of regulation on complex economies.
Jeffrey Friedman is a visiting scholar in the Department of Government at the University of Texas, Austin. He is the editor of What Caused the Financial Crisis, also available from the University of Pennsylvania Press, and editor of the journal Critical Review. Wladimir Kraus is a doctoral candidate in economics at Universit Paul Czanne Aix-Marseille and associate editor of Critical Review.

Howard Pyle
American Master Rediscovered
Edited by Heather Campbell Coyle
At a time when illustrators were national celebrities, Howard Pyle was one of the most successful. A prolific artist and author, Pyle wrote and illustrated for most of the nations major magazines. His illustrations accompanied the writing of leading authors, including Mark Twain, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. Collaborating with significant historians, including Woodrow Wilson and Henry Cabot Lodge, he helped to fashion the nations notion of colonial and federal history. And in his own books, Pyle produced enduring versions of Robin Hood and the Arthurian legends and shaped the American vision of pirate life.
Howard Pyle: American Master Rediscovered presents the most recent research on American illustrator Howard Pyle (18531911), with thematic essays by leading scholars in art history, history, and literature. The book, richly illustrated, presents a fresh perspective on Pyles familiar images by exploring his interaction with the art and culture of his time, effectively repositioning him within the broader spectrum of nineteenth-century art. In a challenge to the art historical canon, this book locates Pyle within the mainstream of nineteenth-century visual art, explicating how he influenced and was influenced by the artistic output of his era. Individual essays explore such topics as Howard Pyles sources in contemporary French and English art, how contemporary ideas of manhood are articulated in Pyles writing, the effects of Swedenborgianism on his work, and his influence on film and popular illustration. The book also features an analysis of Pyles working methods and how they translated into effective illustrations.

Aquatic Plants of Pennsylvania

A Complete Reference Guide
Timothy A. Block and Ann Fowler Rhoads Illustrations by Anna Anisko
From the Delaware River to the shores of Lake Erie, Pennsylvanias diverse watery habitats are home to more than 200 species of aquatic plants. In Aquatic Plants of Pennsylvania: A Complete Reference Guide, botanists Timothy A. Block and Ann Fowler Rhoads have assembled the first identification guide specific to the Keystone State yet useful throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Organized and written in a way that will make information easily accessible to specialists and nonspecialists alike, the book highlights the diversity and vital ecological importance of this group of plants, providing photographs, illustrations, descriptions, and identification keys for all emergent, floating-leaved, and submergent aquatic plants found in the Commonwealth. An introductory chapter on aquatic plant ecology covers topics such as evolution, form, and reproduction of aquatic plants, vegetation zones, types of aquatic ecosystems, and rare and endangered species. Information on invasive plants, such as Eurasian water-milfoil and curly pondweed, that threaten Pennsylvanias aquatic ecosystems will be especially useful to watershed organizations, citizen monitoring projects, lake managers, and natural resource agency personnel. An illustrated identification key guides the reader through a series of steps to properly identify a specimen based on its characteristics. Each of the more than 200 listings provides a plants taxonomy, detailed description, distribution map, and expert botanical illustrations. Many also include color photographs of the plants in their natural habitats. At the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania, Timothy A. Block is John J.

The Devil in the Holy Water, or the Art of Slander from Louis XIV to Napoleon
Robert Darnton
Long, complex, and important.The Nation The tale is an intriguing one, and Darnton, our leading historian of the book, is the man to tell it.Publishers Weekly In political slander everything is of the moment, and only someone as immersed as Darnton is in the particularities of eighteenth-century publishing, politics and cultural life could possibly do justice to its noisome unruliness. . . . The return on Darntons investment of time, energy and determination is extraordinary. Lynn Hunt, London Review of Books Slander has always been a nasty business, Robert Darnton notes, but that is no reason to consider it a topic unworthy of inquiry. By destroying reputations, it has often helped to delegitimize regimes and bring down governments. Nowhere has this been more the case than in eighteenth-century France, when a ragtag group of literary libelers flooded the market with works that purported to expose the wicked behavior of the great. Salacious or seditious, outrageous or hilarious, their books and pamphlets claimed to reveal the secret doings of kings and their mistresses, the lewd and extravagant activities of an unpopular foreign-born queen, the affairs of aristocrats and men-about-town as they consorted with servants, monks, and dancing masters. In The Devil in the Holy Water, Darntonwinner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for his Forbidden Best-Sellers of PreRevolutionary France and author of his own best-sellers, The Great Cat Massacre and George Washingtons False Teethoffers a startling new perspective on the origins of the French Revolution and the development of a revolutionary political culture in the years after 1789. With the wit and erudition that has made him one of the worlds most eminent historians of eighteenth-century France, Darnton here weaves a tale so full of intrigue that it may seem too extravagant to be true, although all its details can be confirmed in the archives of the French police and diplomatic service. Part detective story, part revolutionary history, The Devil in the Holy Water has much to tell us about the nature of authorship and the book trade, about Grub Street journalism and the shaping of public opinion, and about the important work that scurrilous words have done in many times and places. Robert Darnton is Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor and Director of the Harvard University Library.

The Anatomy Murders

Being the True and Spectacular History of Edinburghs Notorious Burke and Hare and of the Man of Science Who Abetted Them in the Commission of Their Most Heinous Crimes
Lisa Rosner
Lisa Rosner . . . has carried out a fascinating CSI style investigation. . . . Her remarkable discoveriestold in her new book, The Anatomy Murders[have] unraveled poignant details which bring to life the personalities of some of [Burk and Hares] unfortunate and, until now, largely anonymous victims.Evening News, Edinburgh This book provides us with a history of 1820s Edinburgh as much as it does of the Burke and Hare murders. The sense Rosner gives her readers of time and place is extraordinarily well done. Beautifully written.Social History of Medicine On Halloween night 1828, in the West Port district of Edinburgh, Scotland, a woman sometimes known as Madgy Docherty was last seen in the company of William Burke and William Hare. Days later, police discovered her remains in the surgery of the prominent anatomist Dr. Robert Knox. Docherty was the final victim of the most atrocious murder spree of the century, outflanking even Jack the Rippers. Together with their accomplices, Burke and Hare would be accused of killing sixteen people over the course of twelve months in order to sell the corpses as subjects for dissection. The ensuing criminal investigation into the Anatomy Murders raised troubling questions about the common practices by which medical men obtained cadavers, the lives of the poor in Edinburghs back alleys, and the ability of the police to protect the public from cold-blooded murder. Famous among true-crime aficionados, Burke and Hare were the first serial killers to capture media attention, yet The Anatomy Murders is the first book to situate their story against the social and cultural forces that were bringing early nineteenth-century Britain into modernity. In Lisa Rosners deft treatment, each of the murder victims, from the beautiful, doomed Mary Paterson to the unfortunate Daft Jamie, opens a window on a different aspect of this world in transition. Tapping into a wealth of unpublished materials, Rosner meticulously portrays the aspirations of doctors and anatomists, the makeshift existence of the so-called dangerous classes, the rudimentary police apparatus, and the half-fiction, halfjournalism of the popular press. Lisa Rosner is Professor of History at Richard Stockton College of New Jersey and author of The Most Beautiful Man in Existence: The Scandalous Life of Alexander Lesassier, also available from the University of Pennsylvania Press.

Billy Graham and the Rise of the Republican South

Steven P. Miller
Billy Graham and the Rise of the Republican South, a study of the evangelists relationship to the cause of civil rights on the one hand and the cause of conservatism on the other, does justice to the tensions and complexities involvedfor Graham, for the South, and for the country.Ross Douthat, New York Times With this book, Steven P. Miller emerges as a significant new voice in the history of evangelical Christianity. . . . Essential reading. Donald T. Critchlow, Reviews in American History Wonderfully readable, engrossing. . . . A captivating history and a profound work of scholarship. Miller ably shows how evangelicalism aided the new conservatism long before the Christian Right exploded onto the scene.Randall J. Stephens, Journal of American History While spreading the gospel around the world through his signature crusades, internationally renowned evangelist Billy Graham maintained a visible and controversial presence in his native South, a region that underwent substantial political and economic change in the latter half of the twentieth century. In this period Graham was alternately a desegregating crusader in Alabama, Sunbelt booster in Atlanta, regional apologist in the national press, and southern strategist in the Nixon administration. Billy Graham and the Rise of the Republican South considers the critical but underappreciated role of the noted evangelist in the creation of the modern American South. The region experienced two significant related shifts away from its status as what observers and critics called the Solid South: the end of legalized Jim Crow and the end of Democratic Party dominance. Steven P. Miller treats Graham as a serious actor and a powerful symbol in this transition an evangelist first and foremost, but also a profoundly political figure. In his roles as the nations most visible evangelist, adviser to political leaders, and regional spokesperson, Graham influenced many of the developments that drove celebrants and detractors alike to place the South at the vanguard of political, religious, and cultural trends. Grahams public life sheds new light on recent southern history in all of its ambiguities, and his social and political ethics complicate conventional understandings of evangelical Christianity in postwar America. Steven P. Miller lives in St. Louis, Missouri, where he teaches history at Webster University and Washington Universitys University College.

Smack
Heroin and the American City
Eric C. Schneider
Winner of the Kenneth Jackson Best Book Award from the Urban History Association A sympathetic, engaging, and highly readable antidote to the war-on-drugs-style morality tale. At times the book reads like the award-winning and controversial HBO television series The Wire. . . . Schneider draws his audience into a colorful narrative complete with larger-than-life characters, heart-tugging tragedies, and triumphant victories that complicate a more simplistic rendering of what constitutes right and wrong, legal and illegal, or mainstream and black market.American Historical Review Schneider has produced that rarest of academic commoditiesa page-turner. The book is exceedingly well written, and its fascinating research and analysis are sure to make it a central text in the field. Journal of American History During the twentieth century, New York City was the nations heroin capitalover half of all known addicts lived there, and underworld bosses like Vito Genovese, Nicky Barnes, and Frank Lucas used their international networks to import and distribute the drug to cities throughout the country, generating vast sums of capital in return. In Smack, Eric C. Schneider uncovers how New York, as the principal distribution hub, organized the global trade in heroin and sustained the subcultures that supported its use. Through interviews with former junkies and clinic workers and indepth archival research, Schneider also chronicles the dramatically shifting demographic profile of heroin users. He takes readers through their typical haunts52nd Street jazz clubs, Times Square cafeterias, Chicagos South Side street cornersto explain how young people were initiated into the drug culture. Smack recounts the explosion of heroin use among middle-class young people in the 1960s and 1970s, when it became the drug of choice among a wide swath of youth, from hippies in Haight-Ashbury and soldiers in Vietnam to punks on the Lower East Side. Panics over the drug led to the passage of increasingly severe legislation that entrapped heroin users in the criminal justice system without addressing the issues that led to its use in the first place. The book ends with a meditation on the evolution of the war on drugs and addresses why efforts to solve the drug problem must go beyond eliminating supply.

My Storm
Managing the Recovery of New Orleans in the Wake of Katrina
Edward J. Blakely Foreword by Henry Cisneros
Edward J. Blakely has been called upon to help rebuild after some of the worst disasters in recent American history, from the San Francisco Bay Areas 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake to the September 11 attacks in New York. Yet none of these jobs compared to the challenges he faced in his appointment by New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin as Director of the Office of Recovery and Development Administration following Hurricane Katrina. In Katrinas wake, New Orleans and the Gulf Coast suffered a disaster of enormous proportions. Millions of pounds of water crushed the basic infrastructure of the city. A land area six times the size of Manhattan was flooded, destroying 200,000 homes and leaving most of New Orleans under water for 57 days. No American city had sustained that amount of destruction since the Civil War. But beneath the statistics lies a deeper truth: New Orleans had been in trouble well before the first levee broke, plagued with a declining population, crumbling infrastructure, ineffective government, and a failed school system. Katrina only made these existing problems worse. To Blakely, the challenge was not only to repair physical damage but also to reshape a city with a broken economy and a racially divided, socially fractured community. My Storm is a firsthand account of a critical sixteen months in the post-Katrina recovery process. It tells the story of Blakelys endeavor to transform the shell of a cherished American city into a city that could not only survive but thrive. He considers the recovery efforts successes and failures, candidly assessing the challenges at hand and the work doneadmitting that he sometimes stumbled, especially in managing press relations. For Blakely, the story of the post-Katrina recovery contains lessons for all current and would-be planners and policy makers. It is, perhaps, a cautionary tale. Edward J. Blakely is Professor of Urban and Regional Planning Policy and Director of the Planning Research Centre at the University of Sydney, Australia. He is the author of four books and more than 100 scholarly articles. His publications include Separate Societies: Poverty and Inequality in U.S. Cities and Planning Local Economic Development: Theory and Practice.

The Disaster Experts

Mastering Risk in Modern America
Scott Gabriel Knowles
In The Disaster Experts, Scott Knowles makes a key contribution to our understanding of how American disaster policy has evolved over time. This book is a way to appreciate at a deeper level why and how Americans are prepared in some ways, and profoundly unprepared in others, for the disasters to come in the twenty-first century. James Lee Witt, Chief Executive Officer, Witt Associates, and FEMA Director, 19932001 In the wake of 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, many are asking what, if anything, can be done to prevent large-scale disasters. How is it that we know more about the hazards of modern American life than ever before, yet the nation faces ever-increasing losses from such events? History shows that disasters are not simply random acts. Where is the logic in creating an elaborate set of fire codes for buildings, and then allowing structures like the Twin Towerstall, impressive, and riskyto go up as design experiments? Why prepare for terrorist attacks above all else when floods, fires, and earthquakes pose far more consistent threats to American life and prosperity? The Disaster Experts takes on these questions, offering historical context for understanding who the experts are that influence these decisions, how they became powerful, and why they are only slightly closer today than a decade ago to protecting the public from disasters. Tracing the intertwined development of disaster expertise, public policy, and urbanization over the past century, historian Scott Gabriel Knowles tells the fascinating story of how this diverse collection of professionalsinsurance inspectors, engineers, scientists, journalists, public officials, civil defense planners, and emergency managersemerged as the authorities on risk and disaster and, in the process, shaped modern America. Scott Gabriel Knowles teaches history at Drexel University and is the author of Imagining Philadelphia: Edmund Bacon and the Future of the City, also available from the University of Pennsylvania Press.

Womens Health and the Worlds Cities

Edited by Afaf Ibrahim Meleis, Eugenie L. Birch, and Susan M. Wachter
Global Downtowns
Edited by Gary McDonogh and Marina Peterson
14
Growing urbanization affects women and men in fundamentally different ways, but the relationship between gender and city environments has been ignored or misunderstood. Women and men play different roles, frequent different public areas, and face different health risks. Women suffer disproportionately from disease, injury, and violence because their access to resources is often more limited than that of their male counterparts. Yet, when women are healthy and safe, so are their families and communities. Urban policy makers and public health professionals need to understand how conditions in densely populated places can help or harm the wellbeing of women in order to serve this large segment of humanity. Womens Health and the Worlds Cities illuminates the intersection of gender, health, and urban environments. This collection of essays examines the impact of urban living on the physical and psychological states of women and girls in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the United States. Urban planners, scholars, medical practitioners, and activists present original research and compelling ideas. They consider the specific needs of subpopulations of urban women and evaluate strategies for designing spaces, services, and infrastructure in ways that promote womens health. Womens Health and the Worlds Cities presents urban planners and public health care providers with on-the-ground examples of projects and policies that have changed womens lives for the better. Afaf Ibrahim Meleis is Margaret Bond Simon Dean of Nursing and Professor of Nursing and Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing and the author of Theoretical Nursing: Development and Progress.
Global Downtowns reconsiders one of the defining features of urban lifethe energy and exuberance that characterizes downtown areaswithin a framework of contemporary globalization and change. It analyzes the iconic centers of global cities through individual case studies from Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the United States, considering issues of function, population, imagery, and growth. Contributors to the volume use ethnographic and cultural analysis to identify downtowns as products of the activities of planners, power elites, and consumers and as zones of conflict and competition. Whether claiming space on a world stage through architecture, media events, or historical tourism or facing the claims of different social groups for a place at the center, downtowns embody the heritage of the modern city and its future. Essays draw on extensive fieldwork and archival study in Beijing, Barcelona, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dar es Salaam, Dubai, Nashville, Lima, Philadelphia, Mumbai, Havana, Beirut, and Paris, among other cities. They examine the visions of planners and developers, cultural producers, governments, theoreticians, immigrants, and outcasts. Through these perspectives, the book explores questions of space and place, consumption, mediation, and images as well as the processes by which urban elites learn from each other as well as contest local hegemony. Global Downtowns raises important questions for those who work with issues of urban centrality in governance, planning, investment, preservation, and social reform. The volume insists that however important the narratives of individual spacestheories of American downtowns, images of global souks, or diasporic formations of ethnic enclaves as interconnected nodesthey also must be situated within a larger, dynamic framework of downtowns as centers of modern urban imagination.

The Research Triangle

From Tobacco Road to Global Prominence
William M. Rohe
Over the past three decades, the economy of North Carolinas Research Triangledefined by the cities of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hillhas been transformed from one dependent on agriculture and textiles to one driven by knowledge-based jobs in technology, telecommunications, and pharmaceuticals. Now home to roughly 1.7 million people, the Research Triangle has attracted an influx of new residents from across the country and around the world while continuing to win praise for its high quality of life. At the regions center is the 7,000-acre Research Triangle Park, one of the nations largest and most prominent research and development campuses. Founded in 1959 through a partnership of local governments, universities, and business leaders, Research Triangle Park has catalyzed the regions rapid growth and hastened its coalescence into a single metropolitan area. The Research Triangle: From Tobacco Road to Global Prominence describes the history, current challenges, and future prospects of this fascinating metropolitan area. Focusing on the personalities and perspectives of key actors in the development of the region, William M. Rohe traces the emergence of the Research Triangle Park and its role in the regions economic transformation. He also addresses some of the downsides of development, illustrating the strains that explosive population growth have placed on the regions school systems, natural resources, transportation infrastructure, and social cohesion. As Rohe shows, the Research Triangle is not a city in the traditional sense but a sprawling conurbation whose rapid, lowdensity growth and attendant problems are indicative of metropolitan life in much of America today. Although the Triangles short-term prospects are bright, Rohe warns that troubling issues loomthe region is expected to add nearly a million residents over the next two decadesand will need to be addressed through improvements in governmental cooperation, regional planning, and civic leadership. Finally, the author outlines key lessons that other metropolitan areas can learn from the Research Triangles dramatic rise to prominence. William M. Rohe is Cary C. Boshamer Distinguished Professor of City and Regional Planning and Director of the Center for Urban and Regional Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Capricious Fancy
Draping and Curtaining the Historic Interior, 18001930
Gail Caskey Winkler Foreword by Roger W. Moss
The materials that decorate our homes and protect us from cold, light, and prying eyes reveal as well as conceal. Drapery and curtain designs tell the story of great shifts in home and work life that accompanied innovations in textile manufacturing technology and the fashion industry over the course of the nineteenth century. Capricious Fancy chronicles the changes in fashionable curtain and drapery styles in the United States and Europe during the Industrial Revolution. This unique compilation contains hundreds of illustrations, most in full color, reproduced from over 100 rare pattern books, workroom manuals, trade catalogues, and examples of design literature selected from the collections of The Athenum of Philadelphia, including the Samuel J. Dornsife Collection of The Victorian Society in America. Each design is annotated with a description of its source and significance. Gail Caskey Winklers research confirms the mastery of French upholsterers in the art of draping windows, bedsteads, and doorways. The book follows the transmission of high styles from Paris to London to North America before the middle of the nineteenth century and the development of the retail home fashion business, including the mail-order trade. Even as wealth spread, disparity continued between the upper and middle classes in adopting the newest fashions. Meanwhile, the audience for interior fashion publications switched from male building professionals and artisans to female homemakers. With 325 images and historical commentary from a leading educator and historic preservation practitioner, Capricious Fancy is a source of authentic inspiration for preservation professionals, interior designers, set designers, museum curators, and anyone with a passion for period dcor.

The Essential Drer

Edited by Larry Silver and Jeffrey Chipps Smith
Floras Empire
British Gardens in India
Eugenia W. Herbert
Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title Provides a new and comprehensive introduction to Drers art, life, and times. Written throughout in a lucid yet scholarly style, it is deservedly destined to feature prominently on syllabi throughout the English-speaking world.Burlington Magazine Albrecht Drer (14711528), perhaps the most famous of all German artists, embodies the modern ideal of the Renaissance man: he was a remarkable painter, printmaker, draftsman, designer, theoretician, and even a poet. More is known about his thoughts and his life than about any other Northern European master of his time, since he wrote extensively about himself, his familys history, his travels, and his friends. His woodcuts and engravings were avidly collected and copied across Europe, and they quickly established his reputation as a master. Praised in life and elegized in death by such thinkers as Martin Luther and Erasmus, he served Emperor Maximilian and other leading church and secular princes in the Holy Roman Empire. Although there is a vast specialized literature on the Nuremberg master, The Essential Drer fills the need for a foundational book that covers the major aspects of his career. The essays included in this book, written by leading scholars from the United States and Germany, provide an accessible, up-to-date examination of Drers art and person as well as his posthumous fame. The essays address an array of topics, from separate and detailed studies of his paintings, drawings, printmaking, and sculpture to broader concerns such as his visits to and interactions with Venice and the Netherlands, his personal relationships, and his relationships with other artists. Collectively these stimulating essays explore the brilliance of Drers creativity and the impact he had on his world, exposing him as an artist fully engaged with the tumultuous intellectual and religious challenges of his time.

I found myself entertained on every page. Herberts achievement is that under the guise of a study of Britannias role as gardener she has written a thoroughly scholarlyindeed, groundbreaking, in every sense of the wordhistory of the British entanglement in India. . . . Full of insights and wonderfully readable, Floras Empire is as much a treat for the general reader as it is for those who relish the glory of the garden. Charles Allen, editor of Plain Tales from the Raj Like their penchant for clubs, cricket, and hunting, the planting of English gardens by the British in India reflected an understandable need on the part of expatriates to replicate home as much as possible in an alien environment. In Floras Empire, Eugenia W. Herbert argues that more than simple nostalgia or homesickness lay at the root of this garden imperialism, however. Drawing on a wealth of period illustrations and personal accounts, many of them little known, she traces the significance of gardens in the long history of British relations with the subcontinent. To British eyes, she demonstrates, India was an untamed land that needed the visible stamp of civilization that gardens in their many guises could convey. Colonial gardens changed over time, from the garden houses of eighteenth-century nabobs modeled on English country estates to the herbaceous borders, gravel walks, and well-trimmed lawns of Victorian civil servants. As the British extended their rule, they found that hill stations like Simla offered an ideal retreat from the unbearable heat of the plains and a place to coax English flowers into bloom. Furthermore, India was part of the global network of botanical exploration and collecting that gathered up the worlds plants for transport to great imperial centers such as Kew. And it is through colonial gardens that one may track the evolution of imperial ideas of governance. Every Government House and Residency was carefully landscaped to reflect current ideals of an ordered society. At Independence in 1947 the British left behind a lasting legacy in their gardens, one still reflected in the design of parks and information technology campuses and in the horticultural practices of home gardeners who continue to send away to England for seeds. Eugenia W. Herbert is Professor Emeritus of History at Mount Holyoke College and the author of several books, including Twilight on the Zambezi: Late Colonialism in Central Africa.

Things American
Art Museums and Civic Culture in the Progressive Era
Jeffrey Trask
Things American gives us, at last, a history of the Metropolitan Museum of Art based on genuine archival materials. Moreover, it reorients our thinking about art museums in the United States, demonstrating that there were important democratic, utilitarian, and civic impulses at work behind them. The book also broadens our thinking about progressivism, reminding us how it shaped art museums and how those museum-related programs it spawned continued beyond World War I. Steven Conn, author of Do Museums Still Need Objects?
18
American art museums of the Gilded Age were established as civic institutions intended to provide civilizing influences to an urban public, but the parochial worldview of their founders limited their democratic potential. Instead, critics have derided nineteenthcentury museums as temples of spiritual uplift far removed from the daily experiences and concerns of common people. But in the early twentieth century, a new generation of cultural leaders revolutionized ideas about art institutions by insisting that their collections and galleries serve the general public. Things American: Art Museums and Civic Culture in the Progressive Era tells the story of the civic reformers and arts professionals who brought museums from the realm of exclusivity into the progressive fold of libraries, schools, and settlement houses. Jeffrey Trasks history focuses on New Yorks Metropolitan Museum of Art, which stood at the center of this movement to preserve artifacts from the American past for social change and Americanization. Metropolitan trustee Robert de Forest and pioneering museum professional Henry Watson Kent influenced a wide network of fellow reformers and cultural institutions. Drawing on the teachings of John Dewey and close study of museum developments in Germany and Great Britain, they expanded audiences, changed access policies, and broadened the scope of what museums collect and display. They believed that tasteful urban and domestic environments contributed to good citizenship and recognized the economic advantages of improving American industrial production through design education. Trask follows the influence of these people and ideas through the 1920s and 1930s as the Met opened its innovative American Wing while simultaneously promoting modern industrial art.

Reinventing Childhood After World War II

Edited by Paula S. Fass and Michael Grossberg
Gray Panthers
Roger Sanjek
The essays in this volume not only survey a broad range of topics central to historical study, such as policy, family life, education, culture, and law, but also offer fresh and provocative interpretive content. The combination of overview and analysis is noteworthy; no existing work matches the depth and significance of these essays. The scholarship in Reinventing Childhood After World War II is more than sound; it is path-breaking. Howard Chudacoff, Brown University In the western world, the modern view of childhood as a space protected from broader adult society first became a dominant social vision during the nineteenth century. Many of the Wests sharpest portrayals of children in literature and the arts emerged at that time in both Europe and the United States, and continue to organize our perceptions and sensibilities to this day. But that childhood is now being re-created. Many social and political developments since the end of the Second World War have fundamentally altered the lives children lead and are now beginning to transform conceptions of childhood. Reinventing Childhood After World War II brings together seven prominent historians of modern childhood to identify precisely what has changed in childrens lives and why. Topics range from youth culture to childrens rights; from changing definitions of age to nontraditional families; from parenting styles to how American experiences compare with those of the rest of the western world. Taken together, the essays argue that childrens experiences have changed in such dramatic and important ways since 1945 that parents, other adults, and girls and boys themselves have had to reinvent almost every aspect of childhood. Reinventing Childhood After World War II presents a striking interpretation of the nature and status of childhood that will be essential to students and scholars of childhood, as well as policy makers, educators, parents, and all those concerned with the lives of children in the world today. Paula S. Fass is Margaret Byrne Professor of History at the University of California, Berkeley. Michael Grossberg is Sally M. Reahard Professor of History and Professor of Law at Indiana University.
A fascinating study of the radical grassroots organization that had, as its founder stated, success out of proportion to our numbers. Peace Studies Unlike the many books on the Panthers that have come before it . . . Gray Panthers is not simply a biographical account or memoir of Maggie Kuhn. Rather, the bookwhich does indeed include a good deal of personal narrative about the author and his wife Lanis involvement with the organizationis based on exceptionally rich archival data.The Gerontologist Gray Panthers offers a sweeping yet intimate view of one of the most important yet misunderstood social movements in the United States after the Second World War. . . . Sanjek has made a lasting contribution to the annals of aging and social history by capturing this fascinating story in all of its colorful and at times zany detail.Stephen McConnell, The Atlantic Philanthropies In 1970, a sixty-five-year-old Philadelphian named Maggie Kuhn began vocally opposing the notion of mandatory retirement. Taking inspiration from the civil rights and antiVietnam War movements, Kuhn and her cohorts created an activist organization that quickly gained momentum as the Gray Panthers. After receiving national publicity for her effortsshe even appeared on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carsonshe gained thousands of supporters, young and old. Their cause expanded to include universal health care, nursing home reform, affordable and accessible housing, defense of Social Security, and elimination of nuclear weapons. Gray Panthers tells the forty-year story of the intergenerational grassroots movement that Kuhn founded and its scores of local groups. Here the inner workings and dynamics of the movement emerge: the development of network leadership, local projects and tactics, conflict with the national office, and the intergenerational political ties that made the group unique among contemporary activist groups. Part ethnography, part history, part memoir, Gray Panthers draws on archives and interviews as well as the authors thirty years of personal involvement.

Battling Miss Bolsheviki

The Origins of Female Conservatism in the United States
Kirsten Marie Delegard
20
Why did the political authority of well-respected female reformers diminish after women won the vote? In Battling Miss Bolsheviki Kirsten Marie Delegard argues that they were undercut during the 1920s by women conservatives who spent the first decade of female suffrage linking these reformers to radical revolutions that were raging in other parts of the world. In the decades leading up to the Nineteenth Amendment, women activists had enjoyed great success as reformers, creating a political subculture with settlement houses and womens clubs as its cornerstones. Female volunteers piloted welfare programs as philanthropic ventures and used their organizations to pressure state, local, and national governments to assume responsibility for these programs. These activists perceived their efforts as selfless missions necessary for the protection of their homes, families, and children. In seeking to fulfill their maternal responsibilities, progressive women fundamentally altered the scope of the American state, recasting the welfare of mothers and children as an issue for public policy. At the same time, they carved out a new niche for women in the public sphere, allowing female activists to become respected authorities on questions of social welfare. Yet in the aftermath of the suffrage amendment, the influence of women reformers plummeted and the new social order once envisioned by progressives appeared only more remote. Battling Miss Bolsheviki chronicles how women conservatives laid siege to this world of female reform, placing once-respected reformers beyond the pale of political respectability and forcing most womens clubs to jettison advocacy for social welfare measures. Overlooked by historians, these new activists turned the Daughters of the American Revolution and the American Legion Auxiliary into vehicles for conservative political activism. Inspired by their twin desires to fulfill their new duties as voting citizens and prevent North America Bolsheviks from duplicating the success their comrades had enjoyed in Russia, they created a new political subculture for women activists. In a compelling narrative, Delegard reveals how the antiradicalism movement reshaped the terrain of womens politics, analyzing its enduring legacy for all female activists for the rest of the twentieth century. Kirsten Marie Delegard is an independent researcher and historian based in Minneapolis.

Dangerous to Know
Women, Crime, and Notoriety in the Early Republic
Susan Branson
Victoria Woodhulls Sexual Revolution

Political Theater and the Popular Press in Nineteenth-Century America
Amanda Frisken
A rich, detailed account of an illustrative set of crimes and of the fine grain of the emergence of the penny press out of sentimental culture. Branson is to be commended for her scholarly rigor and sophisticated narrative technique.Journal of American History In Dangerous to Know, Susan Branson brings us an account of sex and violence in an era marked by political unrest, social instability, and economic uncertainty . . . [and] urges us to rethink simplistic ideas about gender dynamics and the relative power (and powerlessness) of women at the same time. Journal of the Early Republic In 1823, the History of the Celebrated Mrs. Ann Carson rattled Philadelphia society and became one of the most scandalous, and eagerly read, memoirs of the age. This tale of a woman who tried to rescue her lover from the gallows and attempted to kidnap the governor of Pennsylvania tantalized its audience with illicit love, betrayal, and murder. Carsons ghostwriter, Mary Clarke, was no less daring. Clarke pursued dangerous associations and wrote scandalous exposs based on her own and others experiences. She immersed herself in the world of criminals and disreputable actors, using her acquaintance with this demimonde to shape a career as a sensationalist writer. In Dangerous to Know, Susan Branson follows the fascinating lives of Ann Carson and Mary Clarke, offering an engaging study of gender and class in the early nineteenth century. According to Branson, episodes in both womens lives illustrate their struggles within a society that constrained womens activities and ambitions. She argues that both women simultaneously tried to conform to and manipulate the dominant sexual, economic, and social ideologies of the time. In their own lives and through their writing, the pair challenged conventions prescribed by these ideologies to further their own ends and redefine what was possible for women in early American public life. Susan Branson is Associate Professor of American History in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University and the author of These Fiery Frenchified Dames: Women and Political Culture in Early National Philadelphia, also available from the University of Pennsylvania Press.
Frisken provides fresh insight into Woodhulls significance to American culture by focusing on her skillful manipulation of an emerging popular media rather than on the controversy surrounding her exploits. . . . [A] persuasively argued work. American Historical Review Amanda Frisken covers all . . . facets of Woodhulls life, and much more, in her study of Woodhulls public career. Along with her examination of the varying opinions expressed about Woodhull, Frisken provides a guide through the popular iconography of notoriety.Journal of American History Victoria Woodhull, the first woman to run for president, forced her fellow Americans to come to terms with the full meaning of equality after the Civil War. A sometime collaborator with Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, yet never fully accepted into mainstream suffragist circles, Woodhull was a flamboyant social reformer who promoted freedom, especially freedom from societal constraints over intimate relationships. This much we know from the several popular biographies of the nineteenth-century activist. But what we do not know, as Amanda Frisken reveals, is how Woodhull manipulated the emerging popular media and fluid political culture of the Reconstruction period in order to accomplish her political goals. As an editor and public speaker, Woodhull demanded that women and men be held to the same standards in public life. Her political theatrics brought the topic of womens sexuality into the public arena, shocking critics, galvanizing supporters, and finally locking opposing camps into bitter conflict over sexuality and womens rights in marriage. A woman who surrendered her own privacy, whose life was grist for the mills of a sensation-mongering press, she made the exposure of others secrets a powerful tool of social change. Woodhulls political ambitions became inseparable from her sexual nonconformity, and her skill in using contemporary media kept her revolutionary ideas continually before her peers. Using contemporary sources such as images from the sporting news, Frisken takes a fresh look at the heyday of this controversial womens rights activist, discovering Woodhulls previously unrecognized importance in the turbulent climate of Radical Reconstruction and making her a useful lens through which to view the shifting sexual mores of the nineteenth century. Amanda Frisken is Associate Professor of American Studies at the State University of New York, Old Westbury.

An Army of Lions
The Civil Rights Struggle Before the NAACP
Shawn Leigh Alexander
In January 1890, journalist T. Thomas Fortune stood before a delegation of African American activists in Chicago and declared, We know our rights and have the courage to defend them, as together they formed the Afro-American League, the nations first national civil rights organization. Over the next two decades, Fortune and his fellow activists organized, agitated, and, in the process, created the foundation for the modern civil rights movement. An Army of Lions: The Civil Rights Struggle Before the NAACP traces the history of this first generation of activists and the organizations they formed to give the most comprehensive account of black Americas struggle for civil rights from the end of Reconstruction to the formation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in 1909. Here a host of leaders neglected by posterityBishop Alexander Walters, Mary Church Terrell, Jesse Lawson, Lewis G. Jordan, Kelly Miller, George H. White, Frederick McGhee, Archibald Grimkworked alongside the more familiar figures of Ida B. Wells-Barnett, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Booker T. Washington, who are viewed through a fresh lens. As Jim Crow curtailed modes of political protest and legal redress, members of the Afro-American League and the organizations that formed in its wakeincluding the Afro-American Council, the Niagara Movement, the Constitution League, and the Committee of Twelveused propaganda, moral suasion, boycotts, lobbying, electoral office, and the courts, as well as the call for self-defense, to end disfranchisement, segregation, and racial violence. In the process, the League and the organizations it spawned provided the ideological and strategic blueprint of the NAACP and the struggle for civil rights in the twentieth century, demonstrating that there was significant and effective agitation during the age of accommodation.

Toussaint Louverture and the American Civil War

The Promise and Peril of a Second Haitian Revolution
Matthew J. Clavin
A well-written, deeply researched study that extends and deepens our understanding of the connections between two nations whose destinies were so closely entwined during the era of slavery. Journal of American History A challenging and provocative study that asks us to think much more broadly both about the political culture of antebellum America and about the coming and meaning of the Civil War. Steven Hahn, author of A Nation Under Our Feet: Black Political Struggles in the Rural South from Slavery to the Great Migration At the end of the eighteenth century, a massive slave revolt rocked French Saint Domingue, the most profitable European colony in the Americas. Under the leadership of the charismatic former slave Franois Dominique Toussaint Louverture, a disciplined and determined republican army, consisting almost entirely of rebel slaves, defeated all of its rivals and restored peace to the embattled territory. The slave uprising that we now refer to as the Haitian Revolution concluded on January 1, 1804, with the establishment of Haiti, the first black republic in the Western Hemisphere. The Haitian Revolution cast a long shadow over the Atlantic world. In the United States, according to Matthew J. Clavin, there emerged two competing narratives that vied for the revolutions legacy. One emphasized vengeful African slaves committing unspeakable acts of violence against white men, women, and children. The other was the story of an enslaved people who, under the leadership of Louverture, vanquished their oppressors in an effort to eradicate slavery and build a new nation. Toussaint Louverture and the American Civil War examines the significance of these competing narratives in American society on the eve of and during the Civil War. Clavin argues that, at the height of the longstanding conflict between North and South, Louverture and the Haitian Revolution were resonant, polarizing symbols, which antislavery and proslavery groups exploited both to provoke a violent confrontation and to determine the fate of slavery in the United States. Matthew J. Clavin is Associate Professor of History at the University of Houston.

The Catholic Calumet

Colonial Conversions in French and Indian North America
Tracy Neal Leavelle
An Infinity of Nations
How the Native New World Shaped Early North America
Michael Witgen
With great detail and imagination, Leavelle brings a nuanced approach to conversion as cross-cultural practice, paying balanced attention to missionaries and Indians, analyzing behavior and action, song and speech, rituals and relationships, and considering plural conversions in the context of a volatile colonial world. One of the best studies I have read on the subject. Colin G. Calloway, Dartmouth College In 1730 a delegation of Illinois Indians arrived in the French colonial capital of New Orleans. An Illinois leader presented two ceremonial pipes, or calumets, to the governor. One calumet represented the diplomatic alliance between the two men and the other symbolized their shared attachment to Catholicism. The priest who documented this exchange also reported with excitement how the Illinois recited prayers and sang hymns in their Native language, a display that astonished the residents of New Orleans. The Catholic calumet and the Native-language prayers and hymns were the product of long encounters between the Illinois and Jesuit missionaries, men who were themselves transformed by these sometimes intense spiritual experiences. The conversions of people, communities, and cultural practices that led to this dramatic episode all occurred in a rapidly evolving and always contested colonial context. In The Catholic Calumet, historian Tracy Neal Leavelle examines interactions between Jesuits and Algonquian-speaking peoples of the upper Great Lakes and Illinois country, including the Illinois and Ottawas, in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Leavelle abandons singular definitions of conversion that depend on the idealized elevation of colonial subjects from savages to Christians for more dynamic concepts that explain the changes that all participants experienced. A series of thematic chapters on topics such as myth and historical memory, understandings of human nature, the creation of colonial landscapes, translation of religious texts into Native languages, and the influence of gender and generational differences demonstrates that these encounters resulted in the emergence of complicated and unstable cross-cultural religious practices that opened new spaces for cultural creativity and mutual adaptation. Tracy Neal Leavelle is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of History at Creighton University.
A bold and altogether original examination of Indian-European relations, indigenous social formation, and European imperialism. Pekka Hmlinen, author of The Comanche Empire An Infinity of Nations is an exploration of the formation and development of a Native New World in North America. Until the middle of the nineteenth century, indigenous peoples controlled the vast majority of the continent while European colonies of the Atlantic World were largely confined to the eastern seaboard. To be sure, Native North America experienced far-reaching and radical change following contact with the peoples, things, and ideas that flowed inland following the creation of European colonies on North American soil. Most of the continents indigenous peoples, however, were not conquered, assimilated, or even socially incorporated into the settlements and political regimes of this Atlantic New World. Instead, Native peoples forged a New World of their own. This history, the evolution of a distinctly Native New World, is a foundational story that remains largely untold in histories of early America. Through imaginative use of both Native language and European documents, historian Michael Witgen re-creates the world of the indigenous peoples who ruled the western interior of North America. The Anishinaabe and Dakota peoples of the Great Lakes and Northern Great Plains dominated the politics and political economy of these interconnected regions, which were pivotal to the fur trade and the emergent world economy. Moving between cycles of alliance and competition, and between peace and violence, the Anishinaabeg and Dakota carved out a place for Native peoples in modern North America, ensuring not only that they would survive as independent and distinct Native peoples but also that they would be a part of the new community of nations who made the New World. Michael Witgen teaches history and American culture at the University of Michigan.

The Empire Reformed

English America in the Age of the Glorious Revolution
Owen Stanwood
In My Power
Letter Writing and Communications in Early America
Konstantin Dierks
Deeply and broadly researched, The Empire Reformed offers a compelling explanation for the political turbulence in colonial North America in the late seventeenth century, and frames it powerfully in a narrative account that makes sense of events in the region from the Chesapeake northward, between the Great Lakes to the West, and the Atlantic Ocean to the East. Mark Peterson, University of California, Berkeley The Empire Reformed tells the story of a forgotten revolution in English Americaa revolution that created not a new nation but a new kind of transatlantic empire. During the seventeenth century Englands American colonies were remote, disorganized outposts with reputations for political turmoil. Colonial subjects rebelled against authority with stunning regularity, culminating in uprisings that toppled colonial governments in the wake of Englands Glorious Revolution in 168889. Nonetheless, after this crisis authorities in both England and the colonies successfully rebuilt the empire, providing the cornerstone of the great global power that would conquer much of the continent over the following century. In The Empire Reformed historian Owen Stanwood illustrates this transition in a narrative that moves from Boston to London to Barbados and Bermuda. He demonstrates not only how the colonies fit into the empire but how imperial politics reflected and influencedchanging power dynamics in England and Europe during the late 1600s. In particular, Stanwood reveals how the language of Catholic conspiracies informed most colonists understanding of politics, serving first as the catalyst of rebellions against authority, but later as an ideological glue that held the disparate empire together. In the wake of the Glorious Revolution imperial leaders and colonial subjects began to define the British empire as a potent Protestant union that would save America from the designs of French papists and their savage Indian allies. By the eighteenth century, British Americans were proud imperialists, committed to the project of expanding British power in the Americas. Owen Stanwood teaches history at Boston College.
An admirably readable, wide-ranging, yet streamlined historical narrative that integrates letters into the American story. American Historical Review Dierks has done a great deal to rethink the ways in which letters and letter writing must be understood as cultural practices, and to show that their role in early American history should be written as an anti-heroic story of the role of those everyday matters in the making of a society divided by race and class. History Workshop Journal In My Power tells the story of letter writing and communications in the creation of the British Empire and the formation of the United States. In an era of bewildering geographical mobility, economic metamorphosis, and political upheaval, the proliferation of letter writing and the development of a communications infrastructure enabled middle-class Britons and Americans to rise to advantage in the British Atlantic world. Everyday letter writing demonstrated that the blessings of success in the early modern world could come less from the control of overt political power than from the cultivation of social skills that assured the middle class of their technical credentials, moral deserving, and social innocence. In writing letters, the middle class not only took effective action in a turbulent world but also defined what they believed themselves to be able to do in that world. Because this ideology of agency was extended to women and the youngest of children in the eighteenth century, it could be presented as universalized even as it was withheld from Native Americans and enslaved blacks. Whatever the explicit purposes behind letter writing may have beeneducational improvement, family connection, business enterprisethe effect was to render the full terms of social division invisible both to those who accumulated power and to those who did not. The uncontested power that came from letter writing was, Konstantin Dierks provocatively argues, as important as racist violence to the rise of the white middle class in the British Atlantic world. Konstantin Dierks is Associate Professor of History at Indiana University, Bloomington.

Dangerous Economies
Status and Commerce in Imperial New York
Serena R. Zabin
Dangerous Economies is filled with smart descriptions of how daily social and economic activities influenced each other, but it also addresses the hazier issue of urban culture. When frauds used a fashionable appearance to secure loans that would never be repaid or privateers sold free black prisoners of war into slavery, they were taking advantage of the ambiguities that rested between the face-toface practicalities of local exchange and the expansive possibilities of transatlantic trade.American Historical Review Engaging. . . . Zabin rightly challenges studies that attribute the centurys consumer revolution to wealthy colonists who enjoyed the fruits of global trade. Instead . . . Zabin populates her pages with impoverished, marginal people whose low incomes did not necessarily block access to credit or flourishing secondary markets. Journal of American History Dangerous Economies is a history of New York culture and commerce in the first two thirds of the eighteenth century, when Britain was just beginning to catch up with its imperial rivals, France and Spain. In that sparsely populated city on the fringe of an empire, enslaved Africans rubbed elbows with white indentured servants while the elite strove to maintain ties with European genteel culture. The transience of the citys people, goods, and fortunes created a notably fluid society in which establishing ones own status or verifying anothers was a challenge. New Yorks shifting imperial identity created new avenues for success but also made success harder to define and demonstrate socially.

Such a mobile urban milieu was the ideal breeding ground for crime and conspiracy, which became all too evident in 1741, when thirty slaves were executed and more than seventy other people were deported after being found guiltyon dubious evidenceof plotting a revolt. This sort of violent outburst was the unforeseen but unsurprising result of the seething culture that existed at the margins of the British Empire. Serena R.

Moravians in Early America

Baptist Community in Early America
Janet Moore Lindman
Winner of the 2010 Dale W. Brown Book Award for Outstanding Scholarship in Anabaptist and Pietist Studies A noteworthy example of Atlantic history at its best. Mark Noll, Catholic History Review Ambitious and deeply researched. . . . An ideal example of a case study with far broader implications for American religious history. Jon Sensbach, Church History Engel fills a significant gap in the history of the Moravian Brethren in America by focusing on the connection between their spiritual ideal and economic activity. Journal of American History The Moravians, a Protestant sect founded in 1727 by Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf and based in Germany, were key players in the rise of international evangelicalism. In 1741, after planting communities on the frontiers of empires throughout the Atlantic world, they settled the communitarian enclave of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in order to spread the Gospel to thousands of nearby colonists and Native Americans. In time, the Moravians became some of early Americas most successful missionaries. Religion and Profit traces the Moravians evolving mission projects, their strategies for supporting those missions, and their gradual integration into the society of eighteenth-century North America. Katherine Cart Engel demonstrates the complex influence Moravian religious life had on the groups economic practices, and argues that the imperial conflict between Euro-Americans and Native Americans, and not the growth of capitalism or a process of secularization, ultimately reconfigured the circumstances of missionary work for the Moravians, altering their religious lives and economic practices. Katherine Cart Engel teaches history at Texas A&M University.
An important history of Baptists in early North America that moves deftly between the Church meeting house and its larger social and cultural contexts.Church History Lindmans book adds much to our understanding of a lesser-known but significant portion of the early American religious landscape. Bodies of Belief enriches our view of the growth of the Baptist faith, its regional variations, and the experience of various believers within it.Journal of American History The American Baptist church originated in British North America as little tabernacles in the wilderness, isolated seventeenth-century congregations that had grown into a mainstream denomination by the early nineteenth century. The common view of this transition casts these evangelicals as radicals who were on societys fringe during the colonial period, only to become conservative by the nineteenth century after they had achieved social acceptance. In Bodies of Belief, Janet Moore Lindman challenges this accepted, if oversimplified, characterization of early American Baptists by arguing that they struggled with issues of equity and power within the church during the colonial period, and that evangelical religion was both radical and conservative from its beginning. Bodies of Belief traces the paradoxical evolution of the Baptist religion, including the struggles of early settlement and church building, the varieties of theology and worship, and the multivalent meaning of conversation, ritual, and godly community. Lindman demonstrates how the bodyboth individual bodies and the collective body of believerswas central to Baptist definition and maintenance of faith. The Baptist religion galvanized believers through a visceral transformation of religious conversion, which was then maintained through ritual. Yet the Baptist body was differentiated by race and gender. Although all believers were spiritual equals, white men remained at the top of a rigid church hierarchy. Drawing on church books, associational records, diaries, letters, sermon notes, ministerial accounts, and early histories from the mid-Atlantic and the Chesapeake as well as New England, this innovative study of early American religion asserts that the Baptist religion was predicated simultaneously on a radical spiritual ethos and a conservative social outlook. Janet Moore Lindman is Professor of History at Rowan University, New Jersey.

Law, Language, and Empire in the Roman Tradition

Clifford Ando
The Romans depicted the civil law as a body of rules crafted through communal deliberation for the purpose of self-government. Yet, as Clifford Ando demonstrates in Law, Language, and Empire in the Roman Tradition, the civil law was also an instrument of empire: many of its most characteristic features developed in response to the challenges posed when the legal system of Rome was deployed to embrace, incorporate, and govern people and cultures far afield. Ando studies the processes through which lawyers at Rome grappled with the legal pluralism resulting from imperial conquests. He focuses primarily on the toolsmost prominently analogy and fictionused to extend the system and enable it to regulate the lives of persons far from the minds of the original legislators and he traces the central place that philosophy of language came to occupy in Roman legal thought.
28
In the second part of the book Ando examines the relationship between civil, public, and international law. Despite the prominence accorded public and international law in legal theory, it was civil law that provided conceptual resources to those other fields in the Roman tradition. Ultimately it was the civil laws implication in systems of domination outside its own narrow sphere that opened the door to its own subversion. When political turmoil at Rome upended the institutions of political and legislative authority and effectively ended Roman democracy, the concepts and language that the civil law supplied to the project of Republican empire saw their meanings transformed. As a result, forms of domination once exercised by Romans over others were inscribed in the workings of law at Rome, henceforth to be exercised by the Romans over themselves. Clifford Ando is Professor of Classics at the University of Chicago. He is author of Imperial Ideology and Provincial Loyalty in the Roman Empire and The Matter of the Gods.

Medieval Iberia
Readings from Christian, Muslim, and Jewish Sources Second Edition
Edited by Olivia Remie Constable
Praise for the first edition: An impressive collection of sources which should prove of great interest to specialist and nonspecialist alike.English Historical Review With the assistance of a large team of acknowledged experts, Constable has succeeded in assembling a distinguished miscellany of unusual interest which deserves to be warmly and widely welcomed.History Today For some historians, medieval Iberian society was one marked by peaceful coexistence and cross-cultural fertilization; others have sketched a harsher picture of Muslims and Christians engaged in an ongoing contest for political, religious, and economic advantage culminating in the fall of Muslim Granada and the expulsion of the Jews in the late fifteenth century. The reality that emerges in this expanded second edition of Medieval Iberia is more nuanced than either of these scenarios can comprehend; this monumental collection offers unparalleled access to the multicultural complexity of the lands that would become modern Portugal and Spain. The documents collected in Medieval Iberia date mostly from the eighth through the fifteenth centuries and have been translated from Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic, Castilian, Catalan, and Portuguese by many of the most eminent scholars in the field of Iberian studies. Nearly one quarter of this edition is new, including visual materials and increased coverage of Jewish and Muslim affairs, as well as more sources pertaining to women, social and economic history, and domestic life. This primary source material ranges widely across historical chronicles, poetry, and legal and religious sources, and each is accompanied by a brief introduction placing the text in its historical and cultural setting. Arranged chronologically, the documents are also keyed so as to be accessible to readers interested in specific topics such as urban life, the politics of the royal courts, interfaith relations, or women, marriage, and the family. Olivia Remie Constable is Professor of Medieval History and the Robert M. Conway Director of the Medieval Institute at the University of Notre Dame.

Lords Rights and Peasant Stories

Writing and the Formation of Tradition in the Later Middle Ages
Simon Teuscher Translated by Philip Grace
Law is, in the modern conception, inextricably linked with writing. By contrast, late medieval law, which was conveyed through speech, has an exotic allure that has long fascinated researchers. In the mid-nineteenth century, Jacob Grimm published a collection of late medieval records of local lawcalled Weistmerthat was scarcely less comprehensive than his famous collection of fairy tales. As with the fairy tales, Grimm assumed that before their transcription, people had handed these down orally from time immemorial. His interest in these customary laws arose from their seemingly folkloristic notions of custom and from their poetic narratives about ritualized encounters between lords and peasants, capturing an oral tradition from an unsophisticated time. Grimms readings are still used today as a basis of theories about oral societies in the premodern West and contemporary nonWestern societies and the modernizing effects of writing. It turns out that exactly the aspects of legal texts that have been considered since Grimm to be vestiges of a traditional preliterate popular culture were rooted in relatively advanced and learned techniques of writing, jurisprudence, and administration, Simon Teuscher contends. Lords Rights and Peasant Stories uses examples from German- and French-speaking Switzerland to investigate what legal order meant to individuals and to a society at the eve of the Early Modern Period. Teuscher deals with legal documents not only as texts, but also as objects. The book takes the materiality of documents seriously and reconstructs cultural techniques of their production and social practices of their use. Lords Rights and Peasant Stories suggests rethinking master narratives about transitions from oral to literate societies. It explores local dimensions of processes of state-formation and the emergence of modern notions of law in western Europe. Students of rural society and village organization will find a discussion of local power distribution that is inspired by social anthropology and looks beyond simple antagonisms between lords and peasants and insists on the role of state servants and the unconscious effects of their writing practices. Simon Teuscher is Professor of History at the University of Zurich.

Metaphor and Embodiment in the Lives of Pious Women, 2001500
Dyan Elliott
Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title Engaging and innovative. . . . The present volume offers exemplary close readings of primary works enhanced and enriched by the theoretical framework.Choice A tantalizing work. . . . Hidden away in this book are treasures well worth the hunt. English Historical Review
Following a long trajectory from Late Antiquity to the High Middle Ages, Dyan Elliott offers a provocative analysis of the changing religious, emotional, and sexual meanings of the metaphor of the sponsa Christi and of the increasing anxiety surrounding the somatization of female spirituality. The early Christian writer Tertullian first applied the epithet bride of Christ to the uppity virgins of Carthage as a means of enforcing female submission. Henceforth, the virgin as Christs spouse was expected to manifest matronly modesty and due submission, hobbling virginitys ancient capacity to destabilize gender roles. In the early Middle Ages, the focus of virginity and the attendant anxiety over its possible loss reinforced the emphasis on claustration in female religious communities, while also profoundly disparaging the non-virginal members of a given community, leading to some interesting hagiographical tensions. In the high Middle Ages, Elliott contends, the rising importance of intentionality in determining a persons spiritual profile meant that the title of bride could be applied and appropriated to laywomen who were non-virgins as well. Such instances of democratization corresponded with the rise of bridal mysticism and a progressive somatization of female spirituality. These factors helped cultivate an increasingly literal and eroticized discourse: women began to undergo mystical enactments of their union with Christ, including ecstatic consummations and vivid phantom pregnancies. Female mystics also became increasingly intimate with their confessors and other clerical confidantes, who were sometimes represented as stand-ins for the celestial bridegroom. The dramatic merging of the spiritual and physical in female expressions of religiosity made church authorities fearful, an anxiety that would coalesce around the figure of the witch and her carnal induction into the Sabbath.

Lochrie takes a significant feature of medieval culture, secrecy, and translates the issues it raises to urgent contemporary concerns while still illuminating their meaning within medieval contexts. Her writing is lucid and concise while at the same time suggestive and provocative. She has an unerring eye for detail, and an impressive ability to argue through example. This is an important book. Larry Scanlon, Rutgers University In Covert Operations, Karma Lochrie brings the categories and cultural meanings of secrecy in the Middle Ages out into the open. Isolating five broad areasconfession, womens gossip, medieval science and medicine, marriage and the law, and sodomitic discourseLochrie examines various types of secrecy and the literary texts in which they are played out. She reads texts as central to Middle English studies as the Parsons Tale, the Millers Tale, the Secretum Secretorum, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight as well as a broad range of less familiar works, including a gynecological treatise and a little-known fifteenth-century parody in which gossip and confession become one. As she does so she reveals a great deal about the medieval pastand perhaps just as much about the early development of the concealments that shape the present day.

Exotic Nation
Maurophilia and the Construction of Early Modern Spain
Barbara Fuchs
The Hundred Years War, Volume 3

Divided Houses
Jonathan Sumption
Fuchs has drawn from a wide array of sources to produce a rich, well-researched, and absorbing book that crosses disciplinary boundaries. Exotic Nation is a first-rate contribution to the field of early modern studies.Sixteenth Century Journal Theoretically sophisticated, but rooted in the careful examination of the texts of quotidian life, Exotic Nation takes the reader beyond Orientalism into a profound rethinking of the relationship of early modern Spain to other European nations and of the role of Jewish, African, and Moorish elements in Spains own self-construction. Jean E. Howard, author of Theater of a City: The Places of London Comedy, 15981642 Fuchs admirably achieves her ambitious dual goal: to elucidate the paradoxical uses of Moorishness in the early modern construction of Spanish national identity, both internally, by Spaniards themselves, and externally, by other Europeans. Her thesis that Spains Moorishness is both quotidian and exotic is quite dazzling. Exotic Nation will have a major impact on studies of early modern Spain. Barbara Weissberger, author of Isabel Rules: Constructing Queenship, Wielding Power In Exotic Nation, Barbara Fuchs explores the paradoxes in the cultural construction of Spain in relation to its Moorish heritage through an analysis of Spanish literature, costume, language, architecture, and chivalric practices. Between 1492 and the expulsion of the Moriscos (Muslims forcibly converted to Christianity) in 1609, Spain attempted to come to terms with its own Moorishness by simultaneously repressing Muslim subjects and appropriating their rich cultural heritage. Fuchs examines the explicit romanticization of the Moors in Spanish literatureoften referred to as literary maurophiliaand the complex, often silent presence of Moorish forms in Spanish material culture. The extensive hybridization of Iberian culture suggests that the sympathetic depiction of Moors in the literature of the period did not trade in exoticism but instead reminded Spaniards of the place of Moors and their descendants within Spain. Meanwhile, observers from outside Spain recognized its cultural debt to al-Andalus, often deliberately casting Spain as the exotic racial other of Europe. Barbara Fuchs is Professor of Spanish and Portuguese and Professor of English at the University of California, Los Angeles. She is coeditor and cotranslator of The Bagnios of Algiers and The Great Sultana: Two Plays of Captivity, also available from the University of Pennsylvania Press.
Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title There is no other book which tells the story of this phase of the war so fluently or in such absorbing detail, or which conveys so graphically the savagery, the utter savagery, to say nothing of the sheer pointlessness, of it all. Divided Houses is a compelling, sustained exercise in original research: all in all, a remarkable achievement. Chris Given-Wilson, Times Literary Supplement This long-awaited third volume of Jonathan Sumptions monumental history of the Hundred Years War narrates the period from 1369 to 1393, a span marked by the slow decline of English fortunes and the subsequent rise of the French. The English were condemned to see the conquests of the previous thirty years overrun by the armies of the king of France in less than ten. Edward III was succeeded by a vulnerable child, destined to grow into a neurotic and unstable adult presiding over a divided nation. Englands citizenry was being asked to pay for a long and expensive war, soldiers were becoming disenchanted, and the Peasants Revolt of 1381 evidenced the social unrest in the land. However, France too paid a heavy price for her success. Beneath the surface splendor the French government sat poised at the edge of bankruptcy and the population subsisted in fear and insecurity. The inexperience of Charles VI and his gradual relapse into insanity divided the French political world, as the kings relatives competed for the plunder of the state, sowing the seeds of disintegration and civil war in the following century. Marshaling a wide range of contemporary sources, both printed and manuscript, French and English, Sumption recounts the events of this critical period of the Hundred Years War in unprecedented detail. Jonathan Sumption is a former history fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, and the author of The Hundred Years War, Volume 1: Trial by Battle and The Hundred Years War, Volume 2: Trial by Fire, both also available from the University of Pennsylvania Press.

A Common Justice
The Legal Allegiances of Christians and Jews Under Early Islam
Uriel I. Simonsohn
The Death of a Prophet

The End of Muhammads Life and the Beginnings of Islam
Stephen J. Shoemaker
This is a very welcome book. It offers a theoretically informed and up-to-date analysis of the workings of social power within communities that lived side by side, even if they are said to have lived separate lives.Arietta Papaconstantinou, Universit Paris I An important and much-needed contribution to ongoing debates about minorities in the Middle Ages and about minorities under Islam as well as their relative freedoms and disabilities. The book is built on solid research and an impressive mastery of a wide variety of source materials in numerous languages. The arguments it puts forward are entirely convincing and have the potential to help move forward a remarkably stubborn and ideologically laden historiographic consensus. Marina Rustow, Johns Hopkins University In A Common Justice Uriel Simonsohn examines the legislative response of Christian and Jewish religious elites to the problem posed by the appeal of their coreligionists to judicial authorities outside their communities. Focusing on the late seventh to early eleventh centuries in the region between Iraq in the east and present-day Tunisia in the west, Simonsohn explores the multiplicity of judicial systems that coexisted under early Islam to reveal a complex array of social obligations that connected individuals across confessional boundaries. By examining the incentives for appeal to external judicial institutions on the one hand and the response of minority confessional elites on the other, the study fundamentally alters our conception of the social history of the Near East in the early Islamic period. Contrary to the prevalent scholarly notion of a rigid social setting strictly demarcated along confessional lines, Simonsohns comparative study of Christian and Jewish legal behavior under early Muslim rule exposes a considerable degree of fluidity across communal boundaries. This seeming disregard for religious affiliations threatened to undermine the position of traditional religious elites; in response, they acted vigorously to reinforce communal boundaries, censuring recourse to external judicial institutions and even threatening transgressors with excommunication. Uriel I. Simonsohn is an affiliate of the Martin Buber Society of Fellows at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
A work of utmost importance, and one that has profound implications for our understanding of how Islam began. Fred Donner, University of Chicago The oldest Islamic biography of Muhammad, written in the mideighth century, relates that the prophet died at Medina in 632, while earlier and more numerous Jewish, Christian, Samaritan, and even Islamic sources indicate that Muhammad survived to lead the conquest of Palestine, beginning in 63435. Although this discrepancy has been known for several decades, Stephen J. Shoemaker here writes the first systematic study of the various traditions. Using methods and perspectives borrowed from biblical studies, Shoemaker concludes that these reports of Muhammads leadership during the Palestinian invasion likely preserve an early Islamic tradition that was later revised to meet the needs of a changing Islamic self-identity. Muhammad and his followers appear to have expected the world to end in the immediate future, perhaps even in their own lifetimes, Shoemaker contends. When the eschatological Hour failed to arrive on schedule and continued to be deferred to an ever more distant point, the meaning of Muhammads message and the faith that he established needed to be fundamentally rethought by his early followers. The larger purpose of The Death of a Prophet exceeds the mere possibility of adjusting the date of Muhammads death by a few years; far more important to Shoemaker are questions about the manner in which Islamic origins should be studied. This difference in the early sources affords an important opening through which to explore the nature of primitive Islam more broadly. The study argues for greater methodological unity between the study of Christian and Islamic origins and emphasizes the potential value of non-Islamic sources for reconstructing the history of formative Islam. Shoemakers findings also raise fundamental questions about the historical reliability of traditional narratives of Islamic origins, which scholars have often taken largely at face value. Stephen J. Shoemaker is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Oregon and author of Ancient Traditions of the Virgin Marys Dormition and Assumption.

Russian Jews Between the Reds and the Whites, 19171920

Oleg Budnitskii Translated by Timothy J. Portice
From reviews of the Russian edition: Budnitskiis excellent study will become the starting point for all future investigations of Russias Jews between Reds and Whites. Donald J. Raleigh, Kritika Oleg Budnitskii, in this thoroughly researched, clearly written, and well-documented book, shows that the story of Jews in the Civil War years is much more complicated than simply being Red or White. . . . Rather than seeing pogroms as the outcome of ideological fights between Communists and anti-Communists in times of civil war, Budnitskii situates anti-Jewish violence in the broader context of war.David Shneer, The Russian Review In the years following the Russian Revolution, a bitter civil war was waged between the Bolsheviks, with their Red Army of Workers and Peasants on the one side, and the various groups that constituted the anti-Bolshevik movement on the other. The major anti-Bolshevik force was the White Army, whose leadership consisted of the former officers of the Russian imperial army. In the receivedand simplifiedversion of this history, those Jews who were drawn into the political and military conflict were overwhelmingly affiliated with the Reds, while from the start, the Whites orchestrated campaigns of anti-Jewish violence, leading to the deaths of thousands of Jews in pogroms in the Ukraine and elsewhere. In Russian Jews Between the Reds and the Whites, 19171920, Oleg Budnitskii provides the first comprehensive historical
account of the role of Jews in the Russian Civil War. According to Budnitskii, Jews were both victims and executioners, and while they were among the founders of the Soviet state they also played an important role in the establishment of the anti-Bolshevik factions. He offers a far more nuanced picture of the policies of the White leadership toward the Jews, exploring such issues as the role of prominent Jewish politicians in the establishment of the White movement of southern Russia, the Jewish Question in the White ideology and its international aspects, and the attempts of the Russian Orthodox Church and White diplomacy to forestall the establishment of the Jewish state in Palestine. The relationship between the Jews and the Reds was no less complicated. The Bolshevik coup was severely disapproved of by nearly all of the Jewish political parties, and the Red Army was hardly without sin when it came to pogroms against the Jews. Budnitskii offers a fresh assessment of the part played by Jews in the establishment of the Soviet state, of the turn in the policies of Jewish socialist parties after the first wave of mass pogroms and their efforts to attract Jews to the Red Army, of Bolshevik policies concerning the Jewish population, and of how these stances changed radically over the course of the Civil War. Oleg Budnitskii is Professor of History and Director of the Center for the Study of the History and Sociology of World War II at the State University Higher School of Economics, Moscow.

The Hebrew Book in Early Modern Italy

Edited by Joseph R. Hacker and Adam Shear
Between Worlds
Dybbuks, Exorcists, and Early Modern Judaism
J. H. Chajes
A remarkably valuable contribution to the cultural history of the Jews in the late Middle Ages and the early modern period. The essays offer deeply valuable insights into methodological issues broadly connected to the larger general context of continuity and change, focusing on the dialogical relationship between Jewish and non-Jewish identities, especially on the constitutive forces ushering in the modern age. Robert Bonfil, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem The rise of printing had major effects on culture and society in the early modern period, and the presence of this new technology and the relatively rapid embrace of it among early modern Jewscertainly had an effect on many aspects of Jewish culture. One major change that print seems to have brought to the Jewish communities of Christian Europe, particularly in Italy, was greater interaction between Jews and Christians in the production and dissemination of books. Starting in the early sixteenth century, the locus of production for Jewish books in many places in Italy was in Christian-owned print shops, with Jews and Christians collaborating on the editorial and technical processes of book production. As this Jewish-Christian collaboration almost always took place under conditions of control by Christians (for example, requirements that Christian printers be employed by Jewish publishers), its study opens up an important set of questions about the role that Christians played in shaping Jewish culture. Presenting new research by an international group of scholars, this book represents a step toward a fuller understanding of Jewish book history. Individual essays focus on a range of issues related to the production and dissemination of Hebrew books as well as their audiences. Topics include the activities of scribes and printers, the creation of new types of literature and the transformation of canonical works in the era of print, the external and internal censorship of Hebrew books, and the reading interests of Jews. An introduction summarizes the state of scholarship in this field and offers an overview of the transition from manuscript to print in this period. Joseph R. Hacker is Professor Emeritus of Jewish History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Adam Shear is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Pittsburgh.
An exciting, persuasive, and well-written study and another key addition to a subject central to early modern religions. Jewish Quarterly Review This is a major contribution, not only to early modern Jewish studies but to the subject of spirit possession broadly conceived in the Christian world.Edward Peters, University of Pennsylvania After a nearly two-thousand-year interlude, and just as Christian Europe was in the throes of the great Witch Hunt and what historians have referred to as The Age of the Demoniac, accounts of spirit possession began to proliferate in the Jewish world. Concentrated at first in the Near East but spreading rapidly westward, spirit possession, in both benevolent and malevolent forms, emerged as perhaps the most characteristic form of religiosity in early modern Jewish society. Adopting a comparative historical approach, J. H. Chajes uncovers this strain of Jewish belief to which scant attention has been paid. Informed by recent research in historical anthropology, Between Worlds provides fascinating descriptions of the cases of possession as well as analysis of the magical techniques deployed by rabbinic exorcists to expel the ghostly intruders. Seeking to understand the phenomenon of spirit possession in its full complexity, Chajes delves into its ideational framework chiefly the doctrine of reincarnationwhile exploring its relation to contemporary Christian and Islamic analogues. Regarding spirit possession as a form of religious expression open toand even dominated bywomen, Chajes initiates a major reassessment of women in the history of Jewish mysticism. In a concluding section he examines the reception history of the great Hebrew accounts of spirit possession, focusing on the deployment of these ghost stories in the battle against incipient skepticism in the turbulent Jewish community of seventeenth-century Amsterdam. Exploring a phenomenon that bridged learned and ignorant, rich and poor, men and women, Jews and Gentiles, Between Worlds maps for the first time a prominent feature of the early modern Jewish religious landscape, as quotidian as it was portentous: the nexus of the living and the dead. J. H. Chajes is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Jewish History of the University of Haifa.

The Jewish Enlightenment

Shmuel Feiner Translated by Chaya Naor
Beyond Religious Borders

Interaction and Intellectual Exchange in the Medieval Islamic World
Edited by David M. Freidenreich and Miriam Goldstein
Winner of the 2004 Koret Jewish Book Award in History A major contribution to the historiography of the European Enlightenment.Times Literary Supplement Whatever ones perspective on the Haskalah, The Jewish Enlightenment will both enrich and challenge it. Jewish Quarterly Review At the beginning of the eighteenth century most European Jews lived in restricted settlements and urban ghettos, isolated from the surrounding dominant Christian cultures not only by law but also by language, custom, and dress. By the end of the century urban, upwardly mobile Jews had shaved their beards and abandoned Yiddish in favor of the languages of the countries in which they lived. They began to participate in secular culture and they embraced rationalism and non-Jewish education as supplements to traditional Talmudic studies. The full participation of Jews in modern Europe and America would be unthinkable without the intellectual and social revolution that was the Haskalah, or Jewish Enlightenment. Unparalleled in scale and comprehensiveness, The Jewish Enlightenment reconstructs the intellectual and social revolution of the Haskalah as it gradually gathered momentum throughout the eighteenth century. Relying on a huge range of previously unexplored sources, Shmuel Feiner fully views the Haskalah as the Jewish version of the European Enlightenment and, as such, a movement that cannot be isolated from broader eighteenth-century European traditions. Critically, he views the Haskalah as a truly European phenomenon and not one simply centered in Germany. He also shows how the republic of letters in European Jewry provided an avenue of secularization for Jewish society and culture, sowing the seeds of Jewish liberalism and modern ideology and sparking the Orthodox counterreaction that culminated in a clash of cultures within the Jewish community. The Haskalahs confrontations with its opponents within Jewry constitute one of the most fascinating chapters in the history of the dramatic and traumatic encounter between the Jews and modernity. Shmuel Feiner is Professor of Modern Jewish History at Bar-Ilan University and Chairman of the Jerusalem Leo Baeck Institute. Among his many books is The Origins of Jewish Secularization in Eighteenth-Century Europe, also available from the University of Pennsylvania Press.

This volume on various aspects of Judeo-Arabic civilization in its most productive age is a book for our time. In viewing Jewish culture as a constituent part of a large Islamicate society, the contributors to this collection share a view of the way cultures interact that is far more sophisticated than the borrower-lender model that obtained a generation ago. The scholarship is of the highest level. Any new synthesis of the subject that is to emerge from the work of the present generation of scholars will depend on studies such as those here assembled. Raymond P. Scheindlin, Jewish Theological Seminary The medieval Islamic world comprised a wide variety of religions. While individuals and communities in this world identified themselves with particular faiths, boundaries between these groups were vague and in some cases nonexistent. Rather than simply borrowing or lending customs, goods, and notions to one another, the peoples of the Mediterranean region interacted within a common culture. Beyond Religious Borders presents sophisticated and often revolutionary studies of the ways Jewish, Christian, and Muslim thinkers drew ideas and inspiration from outside the bounds of their own religious communities. Each essay in this collection covers a key aspect of interreligious relationships in Mediterranean lands during the first six centuries of Islam. These studies focus on the cultural context of exchange, the impact of exchange, and the factors motivating exchange between adherents of different religions. Essays address the influence of the shared Arabic language on the transfer of knowledge, reconsider the restrictions imposed by Muslim rulers on Christian and Jewish subjects, and demonstrate the need to consider both Jewish and Muslim works in the study of Andalusian philosophy. Case studies on the impact of exchange examine specific literary, religious, and philosophical concepts that crossed religious borders. In each case, elements native to one religious group and originally foreign to another became fully at home in both. The volume concludes by considering why certain ideas crossed religious lines while others did not, and how specific figures involved in such processes understood their own roles in the transfer of ideas. David M. Freidenreich teaches Jewish studies at Colby College. Miriam Goldstein is Lecturer in the Department of Arabic Language and Literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Kafkas Jewish Languages

The Hidden Openness of Tradition
David Suchoff
In Kafkas Jewish Languages David Suchoff quite persuasively argues that the Germanic interplay between high and low (Yiddish) languages and the rise of modern Hebrew account for far more of the plays and innovations of Kafkas writing than has previously been acknowledged. Suchoffs diligent, innovative, and supremely intelligent work adds significantly to Kafka scholarship and Judaic studies.Henry Sussman, Yale University After Franz Kafka died in 1924, his novels and short stories were published in ways that downplayed both his roots in Prague and his engagement with Jewish tradition and language, so as to secure their place in the German literary canon. Now, nearly a century after Kafka began to create his fictions, Germany, Israel, and the Czech Republic lay claim to the writers legacy. Kafkas Jewish Languages brings Kafkas stature as a specifically Jewish author into focus. David Suchoff explores the Yiddish and modern Hebrew that inspired Kafkas vision of tradition. Citing the Jewish sources crucial to the development of Kafkas style, the book demonstrates the intimate relationship between the authors Jewish modes of expression and the larger literary significance of his works. Suchoff shows how The Judgment evokes Yiddish as a language of comic curse and examines how Yiddish, African American, and culturally Zionist voices appear in the unfinished novel, Amerika. Reading The Trial Suchoff highlights the black humor Kafka learned from the Yiddish theater and he interprets The Castle in light of Kafkas involvement with the renewal of the Hebrew language. Finally, Suchoff uncovers the Yiddish and Hebrew meanings behind Kafkas Josephine the Singer, or the Mouse-Folk, and considers the recent law case in Tel Aviv over the possession of Kafkas missing manuscripts as a parable of the transnational meanings of his writing. David Suchoff is Professor of English at Colby College.

The Bohemians
Anne Gdon Lafitte, Marquis de Pelleport Translated by Vivian Folkenflik With an Introduction by Robert Darnton
Who could resist the pleasure of discovering not only an unknown eighteenth-century writer (scoundrel, adventurer, charmer, reprobate) but also his long-lost masterpiece? . . . Witty and outrageous, the novel was lost as soon as it was published in 1790. Today, beautifully translated into English by Folkenflik, it seems remarkably modern.Choice While the marquis de Sade was drafting The 120 Days of Sodom in the Bastille, another libertine marquis in a nearby cell was also writing a novelone equally outrageous, full of sex and slander, and more revealing for what it had to say about the conditions of writers and writing itself. Yet Sades neighbor, the marquis de Pelleport, fell into obscurity, and his novel, Les Bohmiens, nearly vanished. Only a half dozen copies of the original edition are available in libraries throughout the world. Now translated into English for the first time, The Bohemians opens a window into the world of garret poets, literary adventurers, down-and-out philosophers, and Grub Street hacks writing in the waning days of the Ancien Rgime. The Bohemians tells the tale of a troupe of vagabond writerphilosophers and their sexual partners, wandering through the countryside of Champagne accompanied by a donkey loaded with their many unpublished manuscripts. They live off the landfor the most part by stealing chickens from peasants. They deliver endless philosophic harangues, one more absurd than the other, bawl and brawl like schoolchildren, copulate with each other, and pause only to gobble up whatever they can poach from the barnyards along their route. Full of lively prose, parody, dialogue, double entendre, humor, outrageous incidents, social commentary, and obscenity, The Bohemians is a tour de force. As Robert Darnton writes in his introduction to the book, it spans several genres and can be read simultaneously as a picaresque novel, a roman clef, a collection of essays, a libertine tract, and an autobiography. Vivian Folkenflik is Lecturer in the Humanities at the University of California, Irvine, and editor and translator of An Extraordinary Woman: Selected Writings of Germaine de Stal. Robert Darnton is Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor and Director of the Harvard University Library and the author of The Devil in the Holy Water, also available from the University of Pennsylvania Press.

Knowing Books
The Consciousness of Mediation in Eighteenth-Century Britain
Christina Lupton
The Fabrication of American Literature

Fraudulence and Antebellum Print Culture
Lara Langer Cohen
Compellingly argued, original in its approach and insights, thoroughly researched, and ranging widely in the theoretical voices it invokes, Knowing Books opens up fresh ways of thinking about the eighteenth century. The project capitalizes on some of the most exciting work in the fields of book history, media studies, materiality, and thing theory, and applies it to a body of texts until recently slighted in traditional literary histories of the period. Lynn Festa, Rutgers University The eighteenth century has long been associated with realism and objective description, modes of representation that deemphasize writing. But in the middle decades of the century, Christina Lupton writes, authors described with surprising candor the material and economic facets of their own texts production. In Knowing Books Lupton examines a variety of eighteenth-century sources, including sermons, graffiti, philosophical texts, and magazines, which illustrate the range and character of mid-century experiments with words announcing their status as physical objects. Books that know their own presence on the page and in the readers hand become, in Luptons account, tantalizing objects whose entertainment value competes with that of realist narrative. Knowing Books introduces these mid-eighteenth-century works as part of a long history of self-conscious texts being greeted as fashionable objects. Poststructuralist and Marxist approaches to literature celebrate the consciousness of writing and of economic production as belonging to revolutionary understandings of the world. But authors of the period under Luptons gaze expose the facts of mediation without being revolutionary. On the contrary, their explication of economic and material processes shores up their claim to material autonomy and economic success. Lupton uses media theory and close reading to suggest the desire of eighteenthcentury readers to attribute sentience to technologies and objects that entertain them. Rather than a historical study of print technology, Knowing Books offers a humanist interpretation of the will to cede agency to media. This horizon of theoretical engagement makes Knowing Books both an account of the least studied decades of the eighteenth century and one of relevance for those interested in new attitudes toward media in the twenty-first. Christina Lupton teaches English at the University of Michigan.

Literary histories typically celebrate the antebellum period as marking the triumphant emergence of American literature. But the periods readers and writers tell a different story: they derided literature as a fraud, an imposture, and a humbug, and they likened it to inflated currency, land bubbles, and quack medicine. Excavating a rich archive of magazine fiction, verse satires, comic almanacs, false slave narratives, minstrel song sheets, and early literary criticism, and revisiting more familiar figures such as Edgar Allan Poe, Davy Crockett, Fanny Fern, and Herman Melville, Lara Langer Cohen uncovers the controversies over literary fraudulence that plagued these years and uses them to offer an ambitious rethinking of the antebellum print explosion. She traces the checkered fortunes of American literature from the rise of literary nationalism, which was beset by accusations of puffery, to the conversion of fraudulence from a national dilemma into a sorting mechanism that produced new racial, regional, and gender identities. Yet she also shows that even as fraudulence became a sign of marginality, some authors managed to turn their dubious reputations to account, making a virtue of their counterfeit status. This forgotten history, Cohen argues, presents a dramatically altered picture of American literatures role in antebellum culture, one in which its authority is far from assured, and its failures matter as much as its achievements. Lara Langer Cohen teaches English at Wayne State University.

Before Fiction
The Ancien Rgime of the Novel
Nicholas D. Paige
The Bad Taste of Others

Judging Literary Value in Eighteenth-Century France
Jennifer Tsien
Before Fiction is a fascinating work on an original subject: not the history of the novel as such, but the evolution of the concept of fiction. It is both well informed and thoroughly researched, both forcefully argued and elegantly written. Nicholas D. Paige takes on and dismantles with flair many a tired mantra of the novels history. Philip R. Stewart, Duke University Fiction has become nearly synonymous with literature itself, as if Homer and Dante and Pynchon were all engaged in the same basic activity. But one difficulty is simply that a literature trafficking in openly invented characters is a quite recent development. Novelists before the nineteenth century ceaselessly asserted that their novels were true stories, and before that, poets routinely took their basic plots and heroes from the past. We have grown accustomed to thinking of the history of literature and the novel as a progression from the ideal to the real. Yet paradoxically, the modern triumph of realism is also the triumph of a literature that has shed all pretense to literalness. Before Fiction: The Ancien Rgime of the Novel offers a new understanding of the early history of the genre in both England and France, one in which writers were not slowly discovering a type of fictionality we now take for granted but rather following a distinct set of practices and rationales. Nicholas D. Paige reinterprets Lafayettes La Princesse de Clves, Rousseaus Julie ou la Nouvelle Hlose, Diderots La Religieuse, and other French texts of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in light of the periods preoccupation with literal truth. Paige argues that novels like these occupied a place before fiction, a pseudofactual realm that in no way leads to modern realism. The book provides an alternate way of looking at a familiar history, and in its very idiom and methodology charts a new course for how we should study the novel and think about the evolution of cultural forms. Nicholas D. Paige is Associate Professor of French at the University of California, Berkeley and the author of Being Interior: Autobiography and the Contradictions of Modernity in SeventeenthCentury France, also available from the University of Pennsylvania Press.
The Bad Taste of Others is a systematic and thorough treatment of the difficult issue of taste, one that departs from canonical frames of reference. Jennifer Tsiens approach is original and innovative many valuable tomes have been produced on early-modern aesthetics, but nobody has ever made it look so entertaining, nor analyzed it with such lucid zest. Elena Russo, Johns Hopkins University An act of bad taste was more than a faux pas to French philosophers of the Enlightenment. To Montesquieu, Voltaire, Diderot, and others, bad taste in the arts could be a sign of the decline of a civilization. These intellectuals, faced with the potential chaos of an expanding literary market, created seals of disapproval in order to shape the literary and cultural heritage of France in their image. In The Bad Taste of Others Jennifer Tsien examines the power of ridicule and exclusion to shape the periods aesthetics. Tsien reveals how the philosophes consecrated themselves as the protectors of true French culture modeled on the classical, the rational, and the orderly. Their anxiety over the invasion of the Republic of Letters by hordes of hacks caused them to devise standards that justified the marginalization of worldy women, barbarians, and plebeians. While critics avoided strict definitions of good taste, they wielded the term bad taste against all popular works they wished to erase from the canon of French literature, including Renaissance poetry, biblical drama, the burlesque theater of the previous century, the essays of Montaigne, and genres associated with the so-called prcieuses. Tsiens study draws attention to long-disregarded works of salon culture, such as the nigmes, and offers a new perspective on the critical legacy of Voltaire. The philosophes open disdain for the undiscerning reading public challenges the belief that the rise of aesthetics went hand in hand with Enlightenment ideas of equality and relativism. Jennifer Tsien is Associate Professor of French at the University of Virginia.

Colonizer or Colonized
The Hidden Stories of Early Modern French Culture
Sara E. Melzer
Sexual Types
Embodiment, Agency, and Dramatic Character from Shakespeare to Shirley
Mario DiGangi
40
Colonizer or Colonized introduces two colonial stories into the heart of Frances literary and cultural history. The first describes elite Frances conflicted relationship to the Ancient World. As much as French intellectuals aligned themselves with the Greco-Romans as an us, they also resented the Ancients as an imperial them, haunted by the memory that both the Greeks and Romans had colonized their ancestors, the Gauls. This memory put the elite on the defensivedefending against the legacy of this colonized past and the fear that they were the barbarian other. The second story mirrored the first. Just as the Romans had colonized the Gauls, France would colonize the New World, becoming the New Rome by creating a New France. Borrowing the Roman strategy, the French Church and State developed an assimilationist stance towards the Amerindian barbarian. This policy provided a foundation for what would become the nations most basic stance towards the other. However, this version of assimilation, unlike its subsequent ones, encouraged the colonized and the colonizer to engage in close forms of contact, such as mixed marriages and communities. This book weaves these two different stories together in a triangulated dynamic. It asks the Ancients to step aside to include the New World other into a larger narrative in which elite France carved out their nations emerging cultural identity in relation to both the New World and the Ancient World.

DiGangi is the early modern literary critic perhaps best equipped to deal with the intersections among sexuality, gender, and status hierarchies, and Sexual Types has important things to say about how such relations function in drama from the late sixteenth century through the Caroline period. A significant contribution to both early modern drama studies and sexuality studies. Valerie Traub, University of Michigan Sexual types on the early modern stage are at once strange and familiar, associated with a range of unnatural or monstrous sexual and gender practices, yet familiar because readily identifiable as types: recognizable figures of literary imagination and social fantasy. From the many found in early modern culture, Mario DiGangi here focuses on six types that reveal in particularly compelling ways, both individually and collectively, how sexual transgressions were understood to intersect with social, gender, economic, and political transgressions. Building on feminist and queer scholarship, Sexual Types demonstrates how the sodomite, the tribade (a woman-loving woman), the narcissistic courtier, the citizen wife, the bawd, and the court favorite function as sites of ideological contradiction in dramatic texts. On the one hand, these sexual types are vilified and disciplined for violating social and sexual norms; on the other hand, they can take the form of dynamic, resourceful characters who expose the limitations of the categories that attempt to define and contain them. In bringing sexuality studies into conjunction with character studies, Sexual Types provides illuminating new readings of familiar plays, such as Shakespeares A Midsummer Nights Dream and The Winters Tale, and of lesser-known plays by Fletcher, Middleton, and Shirley. Mario DiGangi is Professor of English at Lehman College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York. He is the author of The Homoerotics of Early Modern Drama.

Shakespeares Schoolroom
Rhetoric, Discipline, Emotion
Lynn Enterline
Lynn Enterline locates in the schoolroom a complex of formative issues that on one hand describe broad-based cultural processes in Elizabethan society, and on the other turn up in and illuminate the works of Shakespeare. What is striking and noteworthy is the persuasiveness with which she demonstrates their emergence in a vast body of sixteenth-century pedagogical literature and their aptness to our own contemporary theories of personality and gender formation.Leonard Barkan, Princeton University Shakespeares Schoolroom places moments of considerable emotional power in Shakespeares poetryportraits of what his contemporaries called the passionsalongside the discursive and material practices of sixteenth-century English pedagogy. Humanist training in Latin grammar and rhetorical facility was designed to intervene in social reproduction, to sort out which differences between bodies (male and female) and groups (aristocrats, the middling sort, and those below) were necessary to producing proper English gentlemen. But the method adopted by Lynn Enterline in this book uncovers a rather different story from the one schoolmasters invented to promote the social efficacy of their pedagogical innovations. Beginning with the observation that Shakespeare frequently reengaged school techniques through the voices of those it excluded (particularly women), Enterline shows that when his portraits of love and woe betray their institutional origins, they reveal both the cost of a Latin education as well as the contradictory conditions of genteel masculinity in sixteenth-century Britain.
In contrast to attempts to explain early modern emotion in relation to medical discourse, Enterline uncovers the crucial role that rhetoric and the texts of the classical past play in Shakespeares passions. She relies throughout on the axiom that rhetoric has two branches that continuously interact: tropological (requiring formal literary analysis) and transactional (requiring social and historical analysis). Each chapter moves between grammar school archives and literary canon, using linguistic, rhetorical, and literary detail to illustrate the significant difference between what humanists claimed their methods would achieve and what the texts of at least one former schoolboy reveal about the institutions unintended literary and social consequences. When Shakespeare creates the convincing effects of character and emotion for which he is so often singled out as a precursor of modern subjectivity, he signals his debt to the Latin institution that granted him the cultural capital of an early modern gentleman precisely when undercutting the socially normative categories schoolmasters invoked as their educational goal. Lynn Enterline is Chancellors Professor of English at Vanderbilt University. She is author of The Rhetoric of the Body from Ovid to Shakespeare and The Tears of Narcissus: Melancholia and Masculinity in Early Modern Writing.

Virtuosity in Business
Invisible Law Guiding the Invisible Hand
Kevin T. Jackson
A valuable contribution to a broader, deeper, and more systematic conception of business ethics. Jacksons emphasis on virtuosity rightly makes the point that business needs to be, and to be seen as, a noble activity.Georges Enderle, University of Notre Dame The recent global financial crisis raises pressing issues that are not exclusively economic. The health of the economy, Kevin T. Jackson contends, reflects the moral health of the wider culture: ethics must be considered along with economics to understand world markets, especially now that globalization and other forces have increasingly complicated the regulation of transnational corporate conduct. Virtuosity in Business calls on businesspeople and ethicists to expand their thinking by stressing the profound relevance of philosophy to business and economics. Virtuosity in Business shows that ethics has been the overriding problem for business and that it is the only enduring solution. Drawing on a variety of philosophical sources, including Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, and Jean-Paul Sartre, Jackson applies the concept of virtue to the competitive realm of the marketplace. Virtuosity, in all realms of human endeavor, is not merely a display of technical skill or adherence to conventional norms. The invisible law of virtuosity, which discourages misconduct and rewards good corporate citizenship, guides ethical firms and wise entrepreneurs toward greater success by playing a constructive part in the human enterprise. A pioneering work in the contemporary philosophy of business, Virtuosity in Business revivifies business ethics to address concerns arising from the global financial crisis, such as restoration of faith in the market, respect for human rights, and environmental sustainability. Kevin T. Jackson is Professor of Business Ethics at Fordham University School of Business and the author of Building Reputational Capital: Strategies for Integrity and Fair Play That Improve the Bottom Line.

Collective Action and Property Rights for Poverty Reduction

Insights from Africa and Asia
Edited by Esther Mwangi, Helen Markelova, and Ruth Meinzen-Dick
To improve their well-being, the poor in developing countries have used both collective action through formal and informal groups and property rights to natural resources. Collective Action and Property Rights for Poverty Reduction: Insights from Africa and Asia examines how these two types of institutions, separately and together, influence quality of life and how they can be strengthened to improve the livelihoods of the rural poor. The product of a global research study by the Systemwide Program on Collective Action and Property Rights (CAPRi) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research, this book draws on case studies from East Africa and South and Southeast Asia to investigate how collective action and property rights have contributed to poverty reduction. The book extends the analysis of these institutions beyond their frequently studied role in natural resource management by also examining how they can reduce vulnerability to different types of shocks. Essays in the volume identify opportunities and risks present in the institutions of collective action and property rights. For example, property rights to natural resources can offer a variety of advantages,
providing individuals and groups not only with benefits and incomes but also with assets that can counter the negative effects of shocks such as drought, and can make collective action easier. The authors also demonstrate that collective action has the potential to reduce poverty if it includes more vulnerable groups such as women, ethnic minorities, and the very poor. Preventing exclusion of these oftenmarginalized groups and guaranteeing genuinely inclusive collective action might require special rules and policies. Another danger to the poor is the capture of property rights by elites, which can be the result of privatization and decentralization policies; case studies and analysis identify actions to prevent such elite capture.

Political Repression
Courts and the Law
Linda Camp Keith
Science in the Service of Human Rights

Richard Pierre Claude
A well-written and well-thought-out book. Linda Camp Keith has contributed mightily to our understanding of the role that courts can play in protecting human rights. Mark Gibney, University of North Carolina Asheville The world seems to have reached agreement on a set of ideals regarding state human rights behavior and the appropriate institutions to promote and protect those ideals. The global script for state legitimacy calls for a written constitution or the equivalent with an embedded bill of rights, democratic processes and institutions, and increasingly, a judicial check on state power to protect human rights. While the progress toward universal formal adherence to this global model is remarkable, Linda Camp Keith argues that the substantive meaning of this progress is much less clear. In Political Repression, she seeks to answer two key questions: Why do states make formal commitments to democratic processes and human rights? What effect do these commitments have on actual state behavior, especially political repression? The book begins with a thorough exploration of a variety of tools of state repression and presents evidence for substantial formal acceptance of international human rights norms in constitutional documents as well as judicial independence. Keith finds that these institutions reflect the diffusion of global norms and standards, the role of transnational networks of nongovernmental organizations, and an electoral logic in which regimes seek to protect their future interests. Economic liberalism, on the other hand, decreases the likelihood that states adopt or maintain these provisions. She demonstrates that the level of judicial independence is influenced by constitutional structures and that levels of judicial independence subsequently achieved in turn diminish the probability of state repression of a variety of rights. She also finds strong evidence that rights provisions may indeed serve as a constraint on state repression, even when controlling for many other factors. Linda Camp Keith is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Texas at Dallas.
Named Best Book in Human Rights for 2003 by the American Political Science Association A powerful account of efforts by scientists in many fields to document torture, mass murder, ethnic cleansing, and other atrocities, and to strengthen the content of international human rights and humanitarian law. . . . Richard Claudes book will inspire many in medicine to marshal their idealism along these lines. Journal of the American Medical Association Taken together, the clearly articulated imperative outlined in the book for a human rights approach to scientific education, the wealth of case studies provided, and Claudes insightful analysis could lead to the establishment of a new model of people-centered science with the global public as beneficiaries.Human Rights Quarterly Issues that mix science and politics present some of todays most daunting ethical questions. Did China violate the human rights of prisoners in 2001 by harvesting their kidneys and other organs without their formal consent? Do the victims of AIDS in subSaharan Africa have the right to effective pharmaceutical treatments that are beyond their financial reach? Science in the Service of Human Rights presents a framework for debate on such controversial questions surrounding scientific freedom and responsibility by illuminating the many critical points of intersection between human rights and science. The architects of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights sought to structure new world arrangements where those in power would be bridled by rational principles favoring peace. Though UN-formulated norms have slowly matured to the status of binding international law, the fragmentation of knowledge in modern society is such that few scientists know about the existence and content of the related UN declarations and covenants or their implications. Richard Pierre Claudes book redresses this lack and satisfies curriculum development aiming to integrate human rights standards into the humanities, law, public health, and the social and physical sciences. It offers a systematic and much-needed clarification of the origins and meanings of everyones right to enjoy the benefits of the advancements of science. The late Richard Pierre Claude was Professor Emeritus of Government and Politics at the University of Maryland. He was coeditor of Human Rights in the World Community: Issues and Action, also available from the University of Pennsylvania Press.

Human Rights in Our Own Backyard

Injustice and Resistance in the United States
Edited by William T. Armaline, Davita Silfen Glasberg, and Bandana Purkayastha
The editors and authors of Human Rights in Our Own Backyard propose to advance our deep understanding of human rights. Even betterthey also advance the sort of understanding that will encourage their readers to take actionto lobby, organize, and redirect the path of our communities and the nation. . . . A stunning achievement.from the Foreword by Judith Blau An accessible and highly readable collection that pulls together a wide range of information and analyzes it through the lens of sociology. The book makes a significant contribution to emerging literature that applies human rights principles to U.S. policy and practice.Martha F. Davis, Northeastern University Most Americans assume that the United States provides a gold standard for human rightsa 2007 survey found that 80% of U.S. adults believed that the U.S. does a better job than most countries when it comes to protecting human rights. As well, discussions among scholars and public officials in the U.S. frame human rights issues as concerning people, policies, or practices over there. By contrast, the contributors to this volume argue that many of the greatest immediate and structural threats to human rights, and some of the most significant efforts to realize human rights in practice, can be found in our own backyard. Human Rights in Our Own Backyard examines the state of human rights and responses to human rights issues, drawing on sociological literature and perspectives to interrogate assumptions of American exceptionalism. How do people in the U.S. address human rights issues? What strategies have they adopted, and how successful have they been? Essays are organized around key conventions of human rights, focusing on the relationships between human rights and justice, the state and the individual, civil rights and human rights, and group rights versus individual rights. The contributors are united by a common conception of the human rights enterprise as a process involving not only state-defined and implemented rights but also human rights from below as promoted by activists.

A provocative and illuminating series of essays that interrogates the very idea of constitutionalism rather than any one particular constitutional theory of interpretation or analysis. Law and Politics Book Review From Brown v. Board of Education to Roe v. Wade to Bush v. Gore, the Supreme Court has, over the past fifty years, assumed an increasingly controversial place in American national political life. As the recurring struggles over nominations to the Court illustrate, few questions today divide our political community more profoundly than those concerning the Courts proper role as protector of liberties and guardian of the Constitution. If the nation is today in the midst of a culture war, the contest over the Supreme Court is certainly one of its principal battlefields. In this volume, distinguished constitutional scholars aim to move debate beyond the sound bites that divide the opposing parties to more fundamental discussions about the nature of constitutionalism. Toward this end, the volume includes chapters on the philosophical and historical origins of the idea of constitutionalism; on theories of constitutionalism in American history in particular; on the practices of constitutionalism around the globe; and on the parallel emergence ofand the persistent tensions betweenconstitutionalism and democracy throughout the modern world. In democracies, the primary point of having a constitution is to place some matters beyond politics and partisan contest. And yet it seems equally clear that constitutionalism of this kind results in a struggle over the meaning or proper interpretation of the Constitution, a struggle that is itself deeply political. Although the volume represents a variety of viewpoints and approaches, this struggle, which is the central paradox of constitutionalism, is the ultimate theme of all the essays.

Richard Zinman is University Distinguished Professor of Political Theory in James Madison College at Michigan State University.

In My Mothers House
Civil War in Sri Lanka
Sharika Thiranagama Foreword by Gananath Obeyesekere
In May 2009, the Sri Lankan army overwhelmed the last stronghold of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelambetter known as the Tamil Tigersofficially bringing an end to nearly three decades of civil war. Although the war has ended, the place of minorities in Sri Lanka remains uncertain, not least because the lengthy conflict drove entire populations from their homes. The figures are jarring: for example, all of the roughly 80,000 Muslims in northern Sri Lanka were expelled from the Tamil Tiger controlled north, and nearly half of all Sri Lankan Tamils were displaced during the course of the civil war.
46
Sharika Thiranagamas In My Mothers House provides ethnographic insight into two important groups of internally displaced people: northern Sri Lankan Tamils and Sri Lankan Muslims. Through detailed engagement with ordinary people struggling to find a home in the world, Thiranagama explores the dynamics within and between these two minority communities, describing how these relations were reshaped by violence, displacement, and authoritarianism. In doing so, she illuminates an often overlooked intra-minority relationship and new social forms created through protracted war. In My Mothers House revolves around three major themes: ideas of home in the midst of profound displacement; transformations of familial experience; and the impact of the political violencecarried out by both the Tamil Tigers and the Sri Lankan stateon ordinary lives and public speech. Her rare focus on the effects and responses to LTTE political regulation and violence demonstrates that envisioning a peaceful future for post-conflict Sri Lanka requires taking stock of the new Tamil and Muslim identities forged by the civil war. These identities cannot simply be cast away with the end of the war, but must be negotiated anew. Sharika Thiranagama teaches Anthropology at the New School for Social Research in New York. She is coeditor of Traitors: Suspicion, Intimacy, and the Ethics of State-Building, also available from the University of Pennsylvania Press.

This Side of Silence

Human Rights, Torture, and the Recognition of Cruelty
Tobias Kelly
From Human Trafficking to Human Rights

Rethinking Contemporary Slavery
Edited by Alison Brysk and Austin Choi-Fitzpatrick
This Side of Silence is innovative, thought-provoking, and superbly written, a standout among the plethora of books on torture that have appeared since the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. Tobias Kelly analyzes the meaning of torture as a cultural and legal category. He demonstrates empirically, rather than conceptually or theoretically, that torture is a notoriously slippery subject at every step of defining, documenting, diagnosing, recognizing, and prosecuting it. Antonius C. G. M. Robben, Utrecht University We are accustomed to thinking of torture as the needless infliction of cruelty by public officials, and we assume that lawyers and clinicians are best placed to speak about its causes and effects. However, it has not always been so. The category of torture is a very specific way of thinking about violence, and our current understandings of the term are rooted in recent twentieth-century history. In This Side of Silence, social anthropologist Tobias Kelly argues that the tensions between post-cold-war armed conflict, human rights activism, medical notions of suffering, and concerns over immigration have produced a distinctively new way of thinking about torture, which is saturated with notions of law and trauma. This Side of Silence asks what forms of suffering and cruelty can be acknowledged when looking at the world through the narrow legal category of torture. The book focuses on the recent history of Britain, but draws wider comparative conclusions, tracing attempts to recognize survivors and perpetrators across the fields of asylum, criminal law, international human rights, and military justice. In this thorough and eloquent ethnography, Kelly avoids treating the legal prohibition of torture as the inevitable product of progress, and yet does not seek to dismiss the real differences it has made in concrete political struggles. Based on extensive archival research and ethnographic fieldwork, the book argues that the problem of recognition rests not in the inability of the survivor to communicate but in our inability to listen and take responsibility for the injustice before us. Tobias Kelly teaches social anthropology at the School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh.
Over the last decade public, political, and scholarly attention has focused on human trafficking and contemporary forms of slavery. Yet as human rights scholars Alison Brysk and Austin ChoiFitzpatrick argue, most current work tends to be more descriptive and focused on trafficking for sexual exploitation. In From Human Trafficking to Human Rights, Brysk, ChoiFitzpatrick, and a cast of experts demonstrate that it is time to recognize human trafficking as more a matter of human rights and social justice, rooted in larger structural issues relating to the global economy, human security, U.S. foreign policy, and labor and gender relations. Such reframing involves overcoming several of the most difficult barriers to the development of human rights discourse: womens rights as human rights, labor rights as a confluence of structure and agency, the interdependence of migration and discrimination, the ideological and policy hegemony of the United States in setting the terms of debate, and a politics of global justice and governance. Throughout this volume, the argument is clear: a deep human rights approach can improve analysis and response by recovering human rights principles that match protection with empowerment and recognize the interdependence of social rights and personal freedoms. Together, contributors to the volume conclude that rethinking trafficking requires moving our orientation from sex to slavery, from prostitution to power relations, and from rescue to rights. On the basis of this argument, From Human Trafficking to Human Rights offers concrete policy approaches to improve the global response necessary to end slavery responsibly.

Iraq at a Distance
What Anthropologists Can Teach Us About the War

Sarajevo Under Siege

Anthropology in Wartime
Ivana Macek

The Iraq War has cost innumerable lives, caused vast material destruction, and inflicted suffering on millions of people. Iraq at a Distance: What Anthropologists Can Teach Us About the War focuses on the plight of the Iraqi people, caught since 2003 in the carnage between U.S. and British troops on one side and, on the other, Iraqi insurgents, militias, and foreign Al Qaeda operatives. The volume is a bold attempt by six distinguished anthropologists to study a war zone too dangerous for fieldwork. They break new ground by using their ethnographic imagination as a research tool to analyze the Iraq War through insightful comparisons with previous and current armed conflicts in Cambodia, Israel, Palestine, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan, and Argentina. This innovative approach extends the books relevance beyond a critical understanding of the devastating war in Iraq. More and more parts of the world of long-standing ethnographic interest are becoming off-limits to researchers because of the war on terror. This book serves as a model for the study of other inaccessible regions, and it shows that the impossibility of conducting ethnographic fieldwork does not condemn anthropologists to silence. Essays analyze the good-versus-evil framework of the war on terror, the deterioration of womens rights in Iraq under fundamentalist coercion, the ethnic-religious partitioning of Baghdad through the building of security walls, the excessive use of force against Iraqi civilians by U.S. counterinsurgency units, and the loss of popular support for U.S. and British forces in Iraq and Afghanistan after the brutal regimes of the Taliban and Saddam Hussein had been toppled. Antonius C. G. M. Robben is Professor of Anthropology at Utrecht University. His books include Political Violence and Trauma in Argentina, also available from the University of Pennsylvania Press, as well as the edited volumes Fieldwork Under Fire: Contemporary Studies of Violence and Survival (with Carolyn Nordstrom) and Cultures Under Siege: Collective Violence and Trauma (with Marcelo Surez-Orozco).

Original, important, and exciting. Most ethnographies of war arent actually conducted at the epicenters of war, nor even on the front lines. Maeks is. She stands among a handful of scholars who combine true ethnography of war with enduring commitment to both academic and personal ethics. Carolyn Nordstrom, University of Notre Dame Sarajevo Under Siege offers a richly detailed account of the lived experiences of ordinary people in this multicultural city between 1992 and 1996, during the war in the former Yugoslavia. Moving beyond the shelling, snipers, and shortages, it documents the coping strategies people adopted and the creativity with which they responded to desperate circumstances. Ivana Maek, an anthropologist who grew up in the former Yugoslavia, argues that the division of Bosnians into antagonistic ethnonational groups was the result rather than the cause of the war, a view that was not only generally assumed by Americans and Western Europeans but also deliberately promoted by Serb, Croat, and Muslim nationalist politicians. Nationalist political leaders appealed to ethnoreligious loyalties and sowed mistrust between people who had previously coexisted peacefully in Sarajevo. Normality dissolved and relationships were reconstructed as individuals tried to ascertain who could be trusted. Over time, this ethnography shows, Sarajevans shifted from the shock they felt as civilians in a city under siege to a soldier way of thinking, siding with one group and blaming others for the war. Eventually, they became disillusioned with these simple rationales for suffering and adopted a deserter stance, trying to take moral responsibility for their own choices in spite of their powerless position. The coexistence of these contradictory views reflects the confusion Sarajevans felt in the midst of a chaotic war. Maek respects the subjectivity of her informants and gives Sarajevans own words a dignity that is not always accorded the viewpoints of ordinary citizens. Combining scholarship on political violence with firsthand observation and telling insights, this book is of vital importance to people who seek to understand the dynamics of armed conflict along ethnonational lines both within and beyond Europe.

Sustainable Lifeways
Cultural Persistence in an Ever-Changing Environment
Edited by Naomi F. Miller, Katherine M. Moore, and Kathleen Ryan
Peoples and Crafts in Period IVB at Hasanlu, Iran

Edited by Maude de Schauensee
Sustainable Lifeways addresses forces of conservatism and innovation in societies dependent on the exploitation of aquatic and other wild resources, agriculture, and specialized pastoralism. The volume gathers specialists working in four areas of the world with significant archaeological and paleoenvironmental databases: West Asia, the American Southwest, East Africa, and Andean South America; and contributing to research in three broad time scales: long term (spanning millennia), medium term (archaeological time, spanning centuries or a few thousand years), and recent (ethnohistoric or ethnographic, spanning years or decades). By bringing an archaeological eye to an examination of human response to unpredictable environmental conditions, informed by an understanding of contemporary traditional peoples, the contributors to this volume develop a more detailed picture of how societies perceive environmental risk, how they alter their behavior in the face of changing conditions, and under what challenges the most rapid and far-reaching changes in adaptation have taken place. Sustainable Lifeways enhances our understanding of both the forces of conservatism and innovation which may have been in play in major transitions in the past, such as the development of complex society and the expansions of early empires. Studies present examples of cattle herders in East Africa, hunter-gatherers and pastoralists in the Levant, South American fisher/farmers, and farmer/hunters of the U.S. Southwest. At the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Naomi F. Miller is Research Project Manager in the Near East Section, Katherine M. Moore is Consulting Scholar in the American Section, and Kathleen Ryan is Consulting Scholar in the African Section.
The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology has had a long-standing interest in the archaeology of Iran. In 1956, Robert H. Dyson, Jr., began excavations south of Lake Urmia at the large mounded site of Hasanlu. Although the results of these excavations await final publication, the Hasanlu Special Studies seriesof which this monograph is the fourth volumedescribes and analyzes specific aspects of technology, style, and iconography. This volume describes a group of ongoing research projects, most of which provide new information on Iron Age technology. A theme that runs through these studies is the degree to which ancient workers varied the composition of their products to create desirable colors and textures. The book begins with a description of the wooden furniture fragments along with fittings and decorative elements for furniture. It presents the first detailed description of the charred textiles, and places these textiles in their archaeological contexts, suggesting the roles that textiles may have played in daily life. Later chapters assess the significance of Hasanlu in the history of glassmaking, describe the archaeometallurgy of the Hasanlu IVB bronzes, and present a catalog of the bladed weapons. Also, the book presents the evidence for deliberate violence against individuals as indicated by their skeletal injuries and the results of a project undertaken to determine whether DNA could be used to obtain a better understanding of the population history at Hasanlu. Maude de Schauensee, Associate Editor of the Hasanlu Publications Series and former Keeper of the Near East Section at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, is the author of articles on bronze working at Hasanlu, horse trappings and Assyrian reliefs, and other northwestern Iranian topics.
