Book SynopsisTrade Review"A much-needed contribution to scholarship on banlieue cinema. . . . Pettersen's analyses provide a thoughtful and highly informed discourse on identity politics in contemporary Western, multiracial societies that is of broad relevance, just as his overview of transnational genre theory and industrial exegeses will provide paradigms applicable to other areas of audiovisual study."—Mary Harrod, author of Heightened Genre and Women's Filmmaking in Hollywood: The Rise of the Cine-fille"This compelling study revises our ideas about contemporary French cinema, foregrounding the banlieue film—from the work of Mathieu Kassovitz to Luc Besson to Céline Sciamma—and linking it the horror film, socially critical cinema, and art film. Pettersen makes judicious use of the tools of cultural history, critical theory, and film analysis in this excavation of the national and transnational character of French cinema."—Kelley Conway, University of Wisconsin-MadisonTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsNote on Film Titles and French-Language CitationsIntroduction1.

Indiana University Press Western Women and Imperialism
Book SynopsisExplores what Western women did, thought, and felt in and about the colonies in Africa and India, areas that have been presented, both at the time and in subsequent scholarship, as 'no place for a white woman'. This title analyzes Western women's complicity in the cultural values dominant during an imperialist era.Trade Review"Western Women and Imperialism provides fascinating insights into interactions and attitudes between western and non-western women, mainly in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is an important contribution to the field of women's studies and (primarily British) imperial history, in that many of the essays explore problems of cross-cultural interaction that have been heretofore ignored." Nancy Fix Anderson "A challenging anthology in which a multiplicity of authors sheds new light on the waves of missionaries, 'memsahibs,' nurses - and feminists."

University of Notre Dame Press The Natural Rights Republic
Book SynopsisIn The Natural Rights Republic, renowned political theorist Michael P. Zuckert examines the natural rights philosophy as expressed in sources like the Declaration of Independence and aims to counter contemporary confusion by offering an insightful study of the concept that dominated the mindset of the founding generation of the United States.Trade Review"...highly intelligent and thoughtful.... There is much to praise in this book." —International Studies in Philosophy“In this important and engaging book . . . politicial theorist Michael P. Zuckert explores the central significance of the natural rights philosophy to the era of the American Revolution.” —American Historical Review“If a ‘real’ American is one who reasons exclusively from natural rights, then all ‘real’ Americans must presumably disavow utilitarianism and perhaps Kantianism as well—a provocative thesis to say the least. A broad implication of this book is that American political theory (from Jefferson up to Rawls and Nozick) is most essentially a history of attempts to articulate what it means to be an American. Zuckert nicely explains why natural rights figure so prominently in this history.” —Ethics"Zuckert's book is a powerful exposition of the most central political principles of the American founding. Its elegant articulation of its own thesis, together with its insightful analysis and critique of a wide variety of alternative views, makes it an extremely important contribution to debates on our national origins, which all serious students of the founding and of liberalism will have to confront." —First Things"Erudite, cogently argued, and beautifully written." —Choice“Zuckert’s arguments are clear, accessible, and make effective use of some fascinating historical documents. . . It offers an interesting and valuable historical context for the analysis of natural rights and their role in political society.” —Comptes rendus philosophiques (Philosophy in Review)“This study commands attention and stimulates disagreement.” —Journal of American Studies“The Natural Rights Republic contains many provocative ideas...Anyone who reads Zuckert’s book will learn much of value about the natural rights tradition in America.” —International Journal of the Classical Tradition“This book will likely come to be regarded as a magisterial treatment of the spiritual and theoretical underpinnings of the American founding. It should be read especially by those American Christians inclined to see their country’s founding principles as more Christian than they actually were.” —Calvin Theological Journal

University of Notre Dame Press Boom and Bust in Puerto Rico
Book SynopsisWho is to blame for the economic and political crisis in Puerto Ricothe United States or Puerto Rico? This book provides a fascinating historical perspective on the problem and an unequivocal answer on who is to blame.In this engaging and approachable book, journalist A. W. Maldonado charts the rise and fall of the Puerto Rican economy and explains how a litany of bad political and fiscal policy decisions in Washington and Puerto Rico destroyed an economic miracle.Under Operation Bootstrap in the 1950s and ''60s, the rapid transformation and industrialization of the Puerto Rican economy was considered a wonder of human history, a far cry from the economic death spiral the island's governor described in 2015. Boom and Bust in Puerto Rico is the story of how the demise of an obscure tax policy that encouraged investment and economic growth led to escalating budget deficits and the government's shocking default of its $70 billion debt. Maldonado also discussTrade Review“Boom and Bust in Puerto Rico offers a fascinating account of how a misunderstanding of the meaning of self-determination is at the core of Puerto Rico’s economic and political history.” —Heidie Calero, president of H. Calero Consulting Group, Inc.“Boom and Bust in Puerto Rico is an extremely important and comprehensive addition to the history, politics, and economics of the unique relationship between the governments of the United States and the island Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.” —Peter Holmes, former managing director of the Puerto Rico–USA Foundation"A. W. Maldonado makes a keen and engaging assessment of the political and economic trials Puerto Rico has faced in its twelve-decade-long relationship with the United States, paying distinct attention to the ways in which the political culture within the commonwealth has affected the outcomes. This book should fare high in the agenda of those interested in the future of Puerto Rico, as well as those interested in the future of the many non-sovereign nations that today struggle with larger political entities to accommodate their national identity, fiscal autonomy, and development objectives through mutually convenient, democratic non-traditional frameworks." —Antonio Garcia Padilla, dean emeritus, University of Puerto Rico Law School“For anyone wanting an insightful account of how Puerto Rico has ended up where it is . . . , Maldonado’s Boom and Bust in Puerto Rico is a must-read.” —Global Americans"Written in a clear and comprehensive manner, this book explores a fundamental problem in the relationship, of over a century, of Puerto Rico and the United States: how to synchronize the world's most advanced economy to one of the smallest and most depressed?" —El Nuevo Día"Maldonado observes a broad consensus pointing squarely at Puerto Rico’s colonial status as the culprit for its ongoing financial woes. . . . [He] argues it is precisely this ongoing struggle over the island’s political status that is to blame for its economic death spiral. A provocative reexamination of Puerto Rico's economic history and future." —Choice"Maldonado convincingly demonstrates that, while the Bootstrap tragedy was in many ways self-inflicted, a 120-year history of ‘miscommunications and misunderstandings’ between the US and Puerto Rico compounded the island’s pain." —Survival: Global Politics and StrategyTable of ContentsPrologue Introduction 1.

Book SynopsisHow sugarcane monoculture decimated an island's water supply and peopleOpen access edition: DOI 10.6069/9780295748733Dominica, a place once described as Nature's Island, was rich in biodiversity and seemingly abundant water, but in the eighteenth century a brief, failed attempt by colonial administrators to replace cultivation of varied plant species with sugarcane caused widespread ecological and social disruption.

Mark Hauser draws on archaeological and archival history from Dominica to reconstruct the changing ways that enslaved people interacted with water and exposes crucial pieces of Dominica's colonial history that have been omitted from official documents.

Random House USA Inc Legacy of Violence
Book SynopsisFrom a Pulitzer Prize–winning historian: a searing study of the British Empire that probes the country's pervasive use of violence throughout the twentieth century and traces how these practices were exported, modified, and institutionalized in colonies around the globeSprawling across a quarter of the world's land mass and claiming nearly seven hundred million people, Britain's twentieth-century empire was the largest empire in human history. For many Britons, it epitomized their nation's cultural superiority. But what legacy did the island nation deliver to the world? Covering more than two hundred years of history, Caroline Elkins reveals an evolutionary and racialized doctrine that espoused an unrelenting deployment of violence to secure and preserve the nation's imperial interests. She outlines how ideological foundations of violence were rooted in the Victorian era calls for punishing recalcitrant natives, and how over time, its forms became increasingly syst

Taylor & Francis Voices in the Legal Archives in the French
Book SynopsisVoices in the Legal Archives in the French Colonial World: The King is Listening offers, through the contribution of thirteen original chapters, a sustained analysis of judicial practices and litigation during the first era of French overseas expansion. The overall goal of this volume is to elaborate a more sophisticated social history of colonialism by focusing largely on the eighteenth century, extending roughly from 1700 until the conclusion of the Age of Revolutions in the 1830s. By critically examining legal practices and litigation in the French colonial world, in both its Atlantic and Oceanic extensions, this volume of essays has sought to interrogate the naturalized equation between law and empire, an idea premised on the idea of law as a set of doctrines and codified procedures originating in the metropolis and then transmitted to the colonies. This book advances new approaches and methods in writing a history of the French empire, one which views state authTable of ContentsPart I: Reading Colonial Legal Records Against the Grain 1.

Book SynopsisChallenging current perspectives of urbanisation, The Routledge History Handbook of Gender and the Urban Experience explores how our towns and cities have shaped and been shaped by cultural, spatial and gendered influences. This volume discusses gender in an urban context in European, North American and colonial towns from the fourteenth to the twentieth century, casting new light on the development of medieval and modern settlements across the globe.Organised into six thematic parts covering economy, space, civic identity, material culture, emotions and the colonial world, this book comprises 36 chapters by key scholars in the field. It covers a wide range of topics, from women and citizenship in medieval York to gender and tradition in nineteenth- and twentieth-century South African cities, reframing our understanding of the role of gender in constructing the spaces and places that form our urban environment.Interdisciplinary and transnatiTrade Review'In a rich super-collection of 36 essays plus introductions, this Routledge History Handbook offers exciting fare for readers of diverse geographical and temporal interests.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Crisis and Coloniality at Europes Margins
Book SynopsisCrisis and Coloniality at Europe's Margins: Creating Exotic Iceland provides a fresh look at the current politics of identity in Europe, using a crisis at the margins of Europe to shed light on the continued embeddedness of coloniality in everyday aspirations and identities. Examining Iceland's response to its collapse into bankruptcy in 2008, the author explores the way in which the country sought to brand itself as an exotic tourist destination. With attention to the nation's aspirations, rooted in the late 19th century, of belonging as part of Europe, rather than being classified with colonized countries, the book examines the engagement with ideas of otherness across and within Europe, as European discourses continue to be based on racialized ideas of civilized' people. With its focus on coloniality at a time of crisis, this volume contributes to our understanding of how racism endures in the present and the significance of nationalistic sentiments in a worldTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsList of FiguresIntroduction Part I: Before the Crash1.

By both revisiting the canons of modernism and seeking to decolonize and globalize those canons, the volume explores what a genuinely global history of architectural modernism might begin to look like. Its chapters explore the historiography and weaknesses of modernism's normative interpretations and propose alternatives to them. The collection offers essays that interrogate transnationalism in new ways, reconsiders the agency of the subaltern and the roles played by infrastructures, materials, and global institutions in propagating a diversity of modernisms internationally. Issues such as colonial modernism, architectural pedagogy, cultural imperialism, and spirituality are engaged. With essays from both established scholars and up-and-coming researchers, this is an important reference forTrade Review"Taking seriously the challenge to think critically and deeply about what ‘global modernism’ and a reconsideration of postcoloniality might entail, this landmark volume brings together the foremost experts in the field to open up new directions for the study of ‘modern’ architecture and the built environment.

The essays contained in their dense, diverse tome not only widen our field of vision, including overlooked projects and buildings, but they also question without mercy the critical production which has been since the 1920s the doppelgänger of modernist practice.

It situates this work in the context of key paradigmatic issues in social scientific research, including ontology, epistemology, axiology, ethics, and praxis, and looks ahead at the shape that social relations might take beyond settler colonialism.Drawing on cutting-edge research and presenting innovative theoretical perspectives, this book is fascinating reading for anybod
