Female Infanticide in NineteenthCentury China

MICHELLE T. KING

Between Birth and Death

NOW IN PAPERBACK

What Remains

Coming to Terms with Civil War in 19th Century China

TobIE MEYEr-FoNG

Female infanticide is a social practice often closely associated with Chinese culture. Yet how is it that the killing of newborn daughters has come to be so intimately associated with Chinese culture? Between Birth and Death locates a significant historical shift in the representation of female infanticide during the nineteenth century. Michelle King has written a fascinating and well-researched account of how infanticide came to be viewed as a characteristically Chinese problem. She examines how infanticide was viewed by participants, as well as local and foreign observers, and explains how Chinese infanticide has had such a strong grip on our minds on the basis of remarkably little evidence other than condemnation of the practice.
Henrietta Harrison, University of Oxford

Tobie Meyer-Fongs pathbreaking study of the experience of war and its aftermath in 19th-century China is the rare kind of scholarship that resonates deeply not just on an intellectual level but on an emotional one as well. It is the first truly intimate study we have of human responses to the massive Taiping Rebellion, one of the darkest chapters of human history. A work of pathos and insight, What Remains is by turns thoughtprovoking, heartbreaking and above all eye-opening.

Peter J. Carroll, Northwestern University

I find Goldmans book to be one of the most exciting works of Qing history I have read in some years. . . . Raising provocative arguments for discussion is one of the most important things an historical monograph can do, and when, as in Goldmans book, it is combined with deep erudition and empirical richness, it is an occasion to celebrate.
William T. Rowe, Frontiers of History in China

At the turn of the twentieth century, prostitution was one of the few fates available to women in China besides wife, servant, or factory worker. As the century began, cities introduced regulatory measuresregistering, taxing, and monitoringthat changed politics and gender relations in important new ways. Elizabeth J. Remick shows here that the decisions local governments made about how to deal with gender, and specifically the thorny issue of prostitution, had concrete and measurable effects on the structures and capacities of the state. A pioneering work of political and social analysis that honestly and forcefully explores the very different ways local governments in China grappled with the moral and governmental challenges posed by prostitution.
David G. Strand, Dickinson College

With A Family of No Prominence, Eugene Y. Park gives us a remarkable account of a nonelite family, that of Pak Tkhwa and his descendants (which includes the author). Spanning the early modern and modern eras over three centuries (15901945), this narrative of one family of the chungin class of people is a landmark achievement. This book is a tour de force. Park draws from archives, oral history, and even his own memory to trace a family history across nearly half a millennium, offering a much-needed, eye-opening view of individuals in the late Chosn period.

Parks M. Cole, Chinese Historical Review

The Spanish Empire is famous for being the realm upon which the sun never set. And yet we know little about how Spain managed to move that crucial currency of governance paperover such enormous distances. This book takes up these unknowns and proposes that by examining how documents operated in the Spanish empire we can better understand how the empire was built and how knowledge was created. In this meticulous study Sellers-Garca interrogates the lives of documents and how they reflect multiple understandings of distance in temporal as well as spatial terms in late colonial Guatemala. Ambitious and illuminating, this work makes significant contributions to the social history of knowledge and communications, the history of Guatemala and of the Spanish empire.

Student Unrest and Authoritarian Political Culture During the Long Sixties

Rebel Mexico

NOW IN PAPERBACK

Making the Chinese Mexican

In the middle of the twentieth century, a growing tide of student activism in Mexico reached a level that could not be ignored, culminating with the 1968 movement. This book traces the rise, growth, and consequences of Mexicos student problem during the long sixties (19561971). Pensado has written a fundamentally revisionist work that throws into relief many of our basic assumptions about post-war Mexican political culture, while also revealing the deep history of the 1968 student movement and its aftermath. This work will quickly shoot up to the top of required reading on the Global Sixties as well as twentieth-century Mexico.

Global Migration, Localism, and Exclusion in the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands

GraCE PEa DELGaDo

Making the Chinese Mexican is the first book to examine the Chinese diaspora in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. It presents a fresh perspective on immigration, nationalism, and racism through the experiences of Chinese migrants in the region during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Navigating the interlocking global and local systems of migration that underlay Chinese borderlands communities, the author situates the often-paradoxical existence of these communities within the turbulence of exclusionary nationalisms. This path-breaking history is a probing analysis of the interconnected worlds that the Chinese in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands created, inhabited, and sometimes contested. Making the Chinese Mexicanis a stunning example of borderlands history.

Eric Van Young, University of California, San Diego

This ambitious and original study traces the history of an important engineering and environmental project. The author decolonizes historical (mis)understandings of the Desage and, in the process, pushes back against narratives of progress and advancement that tend to come with looking at scientific change over time. The work succeeds admirably.
Jordana Dym, Skidmore College

This book reconstructs the world of eighteenth-century Amazonia to argue that indigenous mobility did not undermine settlement or community. In doing so, it revises longstanding views of native Amazonians as perpetual wanderers, lacking attachment to place and likely to flee at the slightest provocation. Instead, native Amazonians used traditional as well as new colonial forms of spatial mobility to build enduring communities under the constraints of Portuguese colonialism. Heather Roller sets a very high standard here for work on Amazonian history. More than simply filling a gap, her book presents new, perspective-shifting insights into the eighteenth-century Amazonand, by implication, Brazilfrom the point of view of Indians and ribeirinhos.

PHILLIp I. ACkErmaN-LIEbErmaN

The thirty Guaran missions of the Ro de la Plata were the largest and most prosperous of all the Catholic missions established throughout the frontier regions of the Americas, but between 1768 and 1800, the mission population fell by almost half and the economy became insolvent. This unique socioeconomic history provides a coherent and comprehensive explanation for the missions operation and decline, providing readers with an understanding of the material changes experienced by the Guaran in their day-to-day lives. By illuminating the complexity of Guaran responses to the dramatically altered political and economic landscape initiated by the Jesuit expulsion, Sarreal provides a challenging and innovative reexamination of the mission communities in the late colonial period.
Lyman Johnson, Professor Emeritus, University of North Carolina, Charlotte

As the dust settles on nearly three decades of economic reform in Latin America, one of the most fundamental economic policy areas has changed far less than expected: labor regulation. Continuity Despite Change develops a new theoretical framework for understanding labor laws and their lack of change through time. This important book pushes us to think afresh about labors enduring role in Latin American politics. Carnes helps us see how national-level organized union activity has shaped the path of labor law reform. It deserves high praise for its skillful combination of quantitative and qualitative methods and rich case studies of Argentina, Chile, and Peru which work together to tell a compelling and important story about the evolution of labor law in Latin America.
Timothy R. Scully, CSC, University of Notre Dame SOcIaL ScIENcE HISTORY

The Cairo Geniza is the largest and richest store of documentary evidence for the medieval Islamic world. This book seeks to revolutionize the way scholars use that treasure trove. In this deeply learned study of medieval Egypt, Phillip Ackerman-Lieberman details the ways in which Jews immersed themselves in Muslim culture and institutions, not to create a symbiosis of Judaism and Islam, but to forge a particular and nuanced minority identity as Jews. This is a landmark book, challenging prevalent misconceptions about Jewish history and offering remarkably original insights into the formation of minority cultures.

Jewish Communal Memory in Early Modern Prague

RaCHEL L. GrEENbLatt

Jewish Studies and Middle Eastern Studies have seen an unprecedented diversification in focus over the course of the last twenty years, yet neither pedagogical materials nor documentary compendia have kept pace with these dramatic changes. This comprehensive documentary reader fills the void in modern Jewish and Ottoman history, presenting a staggering array of primary sources generated by or about Sephardi Jews. The approximately 150 sources in this edition have been selected carefully and specifically for students, researchers, and general readers. This extraordinary collection of texts, eloquently presented and analyzed, opens a window to the Judeo-Spanish communities of the late Ottoman and post-Ottoman world.
Daniel J. Schroeter, University of Minnesota

From the beginning of the twentieth century until the First World War, about 35,000 Jews reached Palestine. Because of the place the land of Israel possesses in Jewish thought, historians and social scientists have tended to stress the uniqueness of Jewish immigration to Palestine. This book presents a more complex picture both of the causes of immigration to Palestine and of the mass of immigrants who reached the port of Jaffa in the years 19041914. Gur Alroey has refocused the great Jewish migration of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, putting the migration to Palestine into its proper perspective. By doing so, he expands our understanding of not only that small stream but its larger global scope.
Hasia Diner, New York University

This book offers an examination of Jewish communal memory in Prague in the century and a half stretching from its position as cosmopolitan capital of the Holy Roman Empire (15831611) through Catholic reform and triumphalism in the later seventeenth century, to the eve of its encounter with Enlightenment in the early eighteenth. To Tell Their Children weaves a fascinating tale of the interplay between individual and communal memory and the topographies of Jewish space. Prague was home to the largest and most culturally creative Ashkenazic community in early modern Central Europe. Beautifully written and richly detailed, Greenblatts creative approach provides a wonderful entry to the world of Prague Jews and the means by which they perpetuated their historical memories.

The Mediterranean port of Livorno was home to one of the most prominent and privileged Jewish enclaves of early modern Europe. This book offers an alternative perspective on Jewish acculturation during the eighteenth century, and reassesses common assumptions about the interactions of Jews with outside culture and the impact of state reforms on the corporate Jewish community. Francesca Bregoli explores Jewish-Christian cultural exchange, sites of sociability, and reformist policies to investigate Jewish responses to Enlightenment thought and politics, as well as nonJewish perceptions of Jews. This book fills a significant gap in Jewish and Italian historiographies in an impressive and exemplary fashion. It will immediately command attention as a major scholarly work.
Lois Dubin, Smith College

The most prominent story of nineteenth-century German and French Jewry has focused on Jewish adoption of liberal middle-class values. The Modernity of Others points to an equally powerful but largely unexplored aspect of modern Jewish history: the extent to which German and French Jews sought to become modern by criticizing the anti-modern positions of the Catholic Church. Drawing attention to the pervasiveness of anti-Catholic anticlericalism among Jewish thinkers and activists from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century, the book turns the master narrative of Western and Central European Jewish history on its head. This fascinating approach provides new ways to think about Jewish modernization, as well as about the construction of secularism in modern France and Germany.
Lisa Moses Leff, American University

This is the first comprehensive study of how German-Jewish writers used images from the Spanish-Jewish past to define their place in German culture and society. Jonathan Skolnik argues that Jewish historical fiction was a form of cultural memory that functioned as a parallel to the modern, demythologizing project of secular Jewish history writing. This is a first-rate piece of scholarship that makes a crucial and original contribution to the fields of German-Jewish history, Jewish literature, and both Jewish Studies and literary studies more generally. Skolnik offers the first comprehensive discussion in English or any other languageof the pivotal role that historical fiction played in German-Jewish culture from the 1830s well into the postwar period.

Volume One, Winner of the 2010 National Jewish Book Awards, Womens Studies Category, sponsored by the Jewish Book Council. Pauline Wengeroff s Memoirs of a Grandmother offers a unique firstperson window into traditionalism, modernity, and the tensions linking the two in nineteenth century Russia. Wengeroff (18331916), a perceptive, highly literate social observer, tells a gripping tale of cultural transformation, situating her narrative in the experience of women and families. In Volume Two, Wengeroff s entries reveal that Jewish women were capable and desirous of adopting the best of European modernity but were also wedded to tradition, while expressing her concerns that Jewish men recklessly abandoned tradition and forced their wives to do the same.

What is meant by Jewish Spain? The term itself encompasses a series of historical contradictions. No single part of Spain has ever been entirely Jewish. Yet discourses about Jews informed debates on Spanish identity formation long after their 1492 expulsion. The Mediterranean world witnessed a renewed interest in Spanish-speaking Jews in the twentieth century, and it has grappled with shifting attitudes on what it meant to be Jewish and Spanish throughout the century. At the heart of this book are explorations of the contradictions that appear in different forms of cultural memory. Lively, forceful, and immensely wellinformed, Jewish Spain will be of great value both to Hispanic Studies and Jewish Studies.

An Anti-Individualist History of the French Enlightenment

CHarLY CoLEmaN

The Virtues of Abandon

This book traces the far-flung sparks of anti-individualism that permeated theology, philosophy, and politics throughout the Enlightenment. Fired by the notion that the self was a fiction, men and women joined illicit mystic cults that engaged in shocking rituals of physical mortification and sexual abandon, committed suicides out of materialist fatalism, and even renounced the feudal privileges that had for centuries defined their social existence. Charly Colemans The Virtues of Abandon will transform the way we think about the Enlightenment and its relationship to the Revolution. Ranging across intellectual fields and forms of social practice, Coleman uncovers a religious, mystical strain of thinking which runs in fruitful counterpoint with the more familiar, secularising Enlightenment narratives.

Selling under the Swastika is the first in-depth study of commercial advertising in the Third Reich. Scholars have traditionally paid little attention to the role played by commercial ads and sales culture in legitimizing and stabilizing the regime. Historian Pamela Swett explores the extent of the transformation of the German ads industry from the internationally infused republican era that preceded 1933 through the relative calm of the mid-1930s and into the war years. In this provocative and original analysis, Swett shows how the bright world of brand names, advertising slogans, and shopping expeditions nestled itself into the racial imperatives of the Third Reich as Aryans sought the pleasures and entitlements of consumption.

Transatlantic studies have begun to explore the lasting influence of Spain on its former colonies and the surviving ties between the American nations and Spain. In Monsters by Trade, Lisa Surwillo takes a different approach, explaining how modern Spain was literally made by its Cuban colony. She analyzes a sampling of nineteenthcentury Spanish literary works that reflected metropolitan fears of the hold that slave traders (and the slave economy more generally) had over the political, cultural, and financial networks of power. In Monsters by Trade, Lisa Surwillo expertly maps modern Spains culture of colonialism, while urging us to look at familiar authors from the literary canon in a new light. Both are signal achievements.

This volume brings together a collection of essays avoiding the traditional pitfalls while carrying out the essential task of analyzing the recent evidence concerning the history of the European state system of the last century. The essays offer an array of insight across countries and across time. Together they highlight the critical importance of the prevailing domestic circumstances in which intelligence operates. A keen interdisciplinary eye focused on these developments leaves us with a far more complete understanding of secret intelligence in Europe than weve had before. This collection of essays by notable scholars advances our understanding of aspects of European intelligence history, still an underdog field compared to the enormous literature on Anglo-American intelligence.

The Mind-Body Stage provides a dazzlingly original picture of one of the most consequential and confusing periods in the histories of modern theater and philosophy. Interdisciplinary and comparatist in scope, it uses methodological techniques from literary study, philosophy, theater history, and performance studies and draws on scores of documents from several countries. With the publication of Goberts book, no longer can we see the Cartesian subject as a pure mind disconnected from others or the emotional cocktails that constitute experience. His fascinating and original discussion of Descartess theory of the passions and the mindbody union is a must for scholars of early modern literature and drama, historians of philosophy and of science, and philosophers of mind and neuroscience.

Following the 1948 war and the creation of the state of Israel, Palestinian Arabs comprised just fifteen percent of the population but held a much larger portion of its territory. Offered immediate suffrage rights and, in time, citizenship status, they nonetheless found their movement, employment, and civil rights restricted by a draconian military government put in place to facilitate the colonization of their lands. Citizen Strangers traces how Jewish leaders struggled to advance their historic settler project while forced by new international human rights norms to share political power with the very people they sought to uproot. Shira Robinson brilliantly demonstrates that the treatment of Palestinian citizens in Israel is a mirror of Israel itself.

Memories of Absence investigates how four successive generations of Moroccans remember the lost Jewish community. Moroccan attitudes toward the Jewish population have changed over the decades, and a new debate has emerged at the center of the Moroccan nation: Where does the Jew fit in the context of an Arab and Islamic monarchy? Can Jews simultaneously be Moroccans and Zionists? Drawing on oral testimony and stories, on rumor and humor, Aomar Boum examines the strong shift in opinion and attitude over the generations and increasingly anti-Semitic beliefs in younger people, whose only exposure to Jews has been through international media and national memory.

Why Literary Periods Mattered

This book is about a barber, Shihab alDin Ahmad Ibn Budayr, who shaved and coiffed, and probably circumcised and healed, in Damascus in the eighteenth century. The barber may have been a nobody, but he wrote a history book, a record of the events that took place in his city during his lifetime. Dana Sajdi investigates the significance of this book, and in examining the life and work of Ibn Budayr, uncovers the emergence of a larger trend of history writing by unusual authorspeople outside the learned establishmentand a new phenomenon: nouveau literacy. The Barber of Damascus offers the first full-length microhistory of an individual commoner in Ottoman and Islamic history.

Between the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, Americans underwent a dramatic transformation in self-conception: having formerly lived as individuals or members of small communities, they now found themselves living in networks, which arose out of scientific and technological innovations. There were transportation and communication networks.

Why Literary Periods Mattered explains how historical contrast became central to literary study, and why it remained institutionally central in spite of critical controversy about literature itself. In the twenty-first century, Underwood argues, literary study may need digital technology in particular to develop new methods of reasoning about gradual, continuous change.

Requiem for the Ego

Islandology
MarC SHELL

Geography, Rhetoric, Politics

Islandology is a fast-paced, fact-filled comparative essay in critical topography and cultural geography that cuts across different cultures and argues for a world of islands. Written by Shell in view of the melting of the worlds great ice islands, Islandology shows not only new ways that we think about islands but also why and how we think by means of them.

Requiem for the Ego recounts Freuds last great attempt to save the autonomy of the ego, which drew philosophical criticism from the most prominent philosophers of the periodAdorno, Heidegger, and Wittgenstein. Despite their divergent orientations, each contested the egos capacity to represent mental states through word and symbol to an agent surveying its own cognizance. This is an important book in the philosophy of science, but it is also an important critique of the history of 20thcentury philosophy and its relationship to psychology. The blurred lines are here clarified and the denial on the part of philosophy that it was and is in a dialogue with psychology is laid to rest for once and for all.
Sander Gilman, Emory University

Islandology is one of those rare works that perfectly reflects its object of study. Instead of being a contribution to a particular field of research, it is an island of scholarship that allows us to chart submerged connections among such fields as cultural geography, literary analysis, and socio-political inquiry.
