Taylor & Francis Ltd Czechoslovakism
Book SynopsisThis collection systematically approaches the concept of Czechoslovakism and its historical progression, covering the time span from the mid-nineteenth century to Czechoslovakia's dissolution in 1992/1993, while also providing the most recent research on the subject. Czechoslovakism was a foundational concept of the interwar Czechoslovak Republic and it remained an important ideological, political and cultural phenomenon throughout the twentieth century. As such, it is one of the most controversial terms in Czech, Slovak and Central European history. While Czechoslovakism was perceived by some as an effort to assert Czech domination in Slovakia, for others it represented a symbol of the struggle for the Republic's survival during the interwar and Second World War periods. The authors take care to analyze Czechoslovakism's various emotional connotations, however their primary objective is to consider Czechoslovakism as an important historical concept and follow its chanTable of ContentsIntroduction: Czechoslovakism: the concept’s blurry history Part One: From Kollár to Masaryk 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Renaissance Medicine
Book SynopsisThis volume offers a comprehensive historical survey of medicine in sixteenth-century Europe and examines both medical theories and practices within their intellectual and social context. Nutton investigates the changes brought about in medicine by the opening-up of the European world to new drugs and new diseases, such as syphilis and the Sweat, and by the development of printing and more efficient means of communication. Chapters examine how civic institutions such as Health Boards, hospitals, town doctors and healers became more significant in the fight against epidemic disease, and special attention is given to the role of women and domestic medicine. The final section, on beliefs, explores the revised Galenism of academic medicine, including a new emphasis on anatomy and its most vocal antagonists, Paracelsians. The volume concludes by considering the effect of religious changes on medicine, including the marginalisation, and often expulsion, of non-Christian pracTrade Review‘This is an enormously rich and well-judged narrative which is given force and interest though the vividly recounted anecdotes and biographical sketches. Given its comprehensiveness, it would be churlish to point to yet other areas (medical ethics, for example, or the interaction of medicine and law) that are not given separate treatment, No-one else could have written a history such as this, which stands as a tribute to its author’s extraordinary linguistic competence, voracious appetite for archives and books, and desire to communicate to his readers the excitement and commitment that he himself has found in a lifetime of productive study in medical history.’ Ian Maclean, University of St Andrews, UK ANNALS OF SCIENCE, https://doi.org/10.1080/00033790.2022.2130979‘Professor Vivian Nutton’s Renaissance Medicine is an astonishing achievement. Deeply and widely read in primary sources as well as in the wealth of secondary literature that has been generated in the field of medical history over the years, Nutton surveys the entire world of sixteenth-century European medicine. His book is also a global history, tracking the impact of new drugs and diseases on European medicine and populations, stemming from both East and West – the Indies and the Americas – in the late renaissance. Although modestly sub-titled "A Short History," Renaissance Medicine represents a compendious and invaluable introduction to a vast topic which will become the first port of call not just for students and academics working in the field of medical history, but for anybody keen to explore the wider culture of ideas in the sixteenth-century.’Jonathan Sawday, Saint Louis University, USA‘Vivian Nutton has written a magisterial survey of the lively world of Renaissance medicine. Drawing on sources from all over Europe (and with a particular focus on the large German-speaking territories), he looks at the major debates and developments - among them the crucial role of Galenism as well as the new horizons and challenges, from the recovery of ancient medical theories and the rise of neoplatonic ideas to the encounter with new diseases and exotic drugs and the laborious work at the dissection table.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Shadow Economies in the Globalising World
Book SynopsisFrom West Indian sugar and bottles of Southeast Asian arrack to French red wines, English felt cloth, and Mediterranean lemons, many global wares ended up in the Scandinavian borderlands during the late eighteenth century. This book explores how and why these goods came to be there and analyses what smuggling can reveal about the emergence of global trade, the formation of the nation state, and the development of consumer society in Europe's northernmost outskirts. This book shows that the global underground was ubiquitous in the Nordic countries and fundamentally altered them, politically, economically, socially, and culturally. Through re-evaluating the role of smuggling the book complements and challenges established historical accounts about state building, market dynamics, consumer culture, and ideas and identity. It also offers a roadmap for how to think about illegal global trade and how to approach this notoriously difficult research field. By integrating illegality, Trade Review'This innovative book reconceives smuggling not just as a national phenomenon but as both global and globalizing. At the same time, it shows how smugglers and smuggled commodities – such as coffee – profoundly influenced Nordic culture, politics, cultural mores, and even foreign policy.'Margaret R.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Losing Face
Book SynopsisThis book is a study of shame in English society in the two centuries between c.1550 and c.1750, demonstrating the ubiquity and powerful hold it had on contemporaries over the entire era. Using insights drawn from the social sciences, the book investigates multiple meanings and manifestations of shame in everyday lives and across private and public domains, exploring the practice and experience of shame in devotional life and family relations, amid social networks, and in communities or the public at large. The book pays close attention to variations and distinctive forms of shame, while also uncovering recurring patterns, a spectrum ranging from punitive, exclusionary and coercive shame through more conciliatory, lenient and inclusive forms. Placing these divergent forms in the context of the momentous social and cultural shifts that unfolded over the course of the era, the book challenges perceptions of the waning of shame in the transition from early modern to modern times, arguiTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Monarchs and Hydrarchs
Book SynopsisAs the politico-economic exploits of vikings in and around the Frankish realm remain, to a considerable extent, obscured by the constraints of a fragmentary and biased corpus of (near-)contemporary evidence, this volume approaches the available interdisciplinary data on a cumulative and conceptual level, allowing overall spatiotemporal patterns of viking activity to be detected and defined â and thereby challenging the notion that these movements were capricious, haphazard, and gratuitous in character. Set against a backdrop of continuous commerce and knowledge exchange, this overarching survey demonstrates the existence of a relatively uniform, sequential framework of wealth extraction, encampment, and political engagement, within which Scandinavian fleets operated as adaptable, ambulant polities â or âhydrarchiesâ. By delineating and visualising this framework, a four-phased conceptual development model of hydrarchic conduct and consequence is established, whose validity isTrade ReviewMonarchs and Hydrarchs is an original and potentially important piece of work, which challenges widely accepted particularist interpretations of Viking activity in northern continental Europe, and rather seeks a coherent and dynamic understanding of the phenomenon. In applying the concept of ‘hydrarchy’ to the analysis of a range of sources (both well-known and under-researched), the study provides not only new data, but a new theoretical framework for their interpretation. Elegantly written and impressive in its interdisciplinary scope, this volume should be of significant interest to early medieval historians, archaeologists, and other scholars with or without previous knowledge of Scandinavian activity on the Continent. Dr Steven Ashby, Senior Lecturer in Archaeology, University of York, UK This book is an essential read for anyone engaging on research on the Viking Age in Francia. In Monarchs and Hydrarchs, Cooijmans has combined detailed analysis of viking activity and politics with the application of abstract conceptual models to identify overarching patterns of behaviour. One of the great strengths of the book is Cooijmans’s ability to draw on sources in a variety of languages and from different disciplines to develop an original and overarching survey of this field. Dr Clare Downham, Reader in Irish Studies, University of Liverpool, UK The contacts between the Scandinavian world and the Frankish realm of Charlemagne and beyond have been commonly viewed through the lens of near-contemporary sources of variable bias, limited onomastic elements, and even fewer archaeological finds. An awareness of the incursions along the major waterways underpins our basic knowledge of the region. These rivers, selected as case study regions (Loire, Seine, and the Lower Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt basin) are viewed here by Cooijmans as ‘representing expansive corridors of waterborne commerce and communication’ and, crucially, the points of convergence of mariners from various origins – not only those from the northern neighbours. However, in exploring and indeed characterising the so-called hydrarchy established through targeted contact (up to the 840s CE) and intensive activity (840s–930s CE) in the region, Monarchs and Hydrarchs enables insight into changes from passing contact to permanent settlement in Francia.Through the development of a temporal model, where the contact is subdivided into four distinct elements, commencing before the death of Charlemagne in 814 and progressing in intensity into the 930s, the author critically assesses the sources and demonstrates a clarity in the expedient decision-making of the vikings, based on ‘exchanges of intelligence, cumulative experience, and the collective need for socioeconomic subsistence and enrichment’. These words are the author’s, succinctly phrased and economically expressed, a true feature of the writing style of this volume. Through the detailed examination of the written sources in combination with a critical assessment of earlier scholarship, this author makes full use of the views of earlier scholars – building upon their strengths rather than fashionably demolishing all that has been written before. This is a valuable and major contribution to scholarship which will be well-cited for many years to come. Dr Colleen Batey,Senior Lecturer in Archaeology, University of Glasgow, UK"Monarchs and Hydrarchs is an original and potentially important piece of work, which challenges widely accepted particularist interpretations of Viking activity in northern continental Europe, and rather seeks a coherent and dynamic understanding of the phenomenon.

It is worth noting that, although this monograph is part of the Routledge Archaeologies of the Viking World series, Cooijmans draws upon both archaeological materials and literary sources, and does so effortlessly in a way to which all scholars of the early medieval period should aspire. Accompanied by excellent summaries of the context, and well-illustrated throughout with maps, genealogical tables and spatial representations of the model, the book will be especially useful to early career researchers, yet there is much here that more experienced scholars will also want to consider." ~ Richard Broome, Sehepunkte"Monarchs and Hydrarchs will undoubtably push the study and discussion of Franco-Scandinavian interaction forward. Beyond the thorough analysis itself, the book is replete with useful charts, tables, and maps which will delight both graduate students and established scholars alike. No more will each individual have to scour the numerous annals to compile a list of attacks, encampments, and tribute payments, for instance. In this, Cooijmans has given a gift to the field. Above all, no work of this detail and breadth exists and it was sorely needed. With his thoughtful analysis of the available data, and his ability to read between the lines and extrapolate out patterns, Cooijmans exposes the complexity of Viking activity on the Continent. He champions new ways of conceptualizing Viking activity and organization, centered on the agency, rationality, and flexibility of the Norse. The work is without a doubt a must read whether one is specifically interested in Franco-Scandinavian engagement or in the Viking Age as a whole." - Daniel F. Melleno, The Medieval Review"Cooijmans has assembled a marvellous collection of primary sources, absolutely bursting with practical information on viking logistics. Maps and charts illustrate and summarise references to envoys from Scandinavia, viking camps, Frankish countermeasures, tribute payments, hostages, ransomed individuals, and more. His argument — that vikings were very organised, very plugged-in to local networks— is extremely persuasive. He avoids the familiar stereotypes and offers instead vikings in context: they were serious, dangerous, and resourceful, but not aberrations or incomprehensibly strange." ~ Prof. Lesley Abrams, Peritia"The volume benefts from Cooijmans’ clear, lucid prose. It is well illustrated, with a number of maps and family trees to orientate the reader, as well as representations of the phased spatial schematic. The meticulous tables alone — of raids, leaders or hydrarchs, and encampments mentioned in the annals — are a valuable resource for those interested in viking activity in Francia. This book overall helps to fill an important gap in the market." ~ Dr Caitlin Ellis, The Mediæval Journal"…a very useful and accessible volume for teaching and as a point of departure for anyone working on Scandinavian–Frankish contact in this period." - Robert Evans, Early Medieval Europe"This book is probably the best discussion of logistics and motivations of monarchs and hydrarchs of this period. It is to be highly recommended not just to students of 'the vikings' but to any mediaevalist." ~ Dr. Alex Woolf, Saga-BookTable of ContentsI. Introduction; II. The Scandinavian Perspective; III.

Taylor & Francis Memory in Hungarian Fascism
Book SynopsisMemory in Hungarian Fascism: A Cultural History argues that fascist memory had a key role in the historical formation and later return of fascism. Tracing the trajectory of a perennial figure of fascist memory, the cult of Eszter SÃlymosi, from interwar Hungary through the Cold War West to contemporary Hungary, the book covers a century of fascism and offers a unique combination of fascism studies and memory studies. How did fascists challenge liberal memory after the First World War? How did the memory culture they created come to frame and feed the Second World War and the genocide? In what ways did fascist memory transform as they navigated the challenges of exile in a profoundly changed political landscape and tried to counter the postwar order? And what role did their legacy, carefully crafted for a post-Communist future, play as later neo-fascists rejected democratic transformation? Eventually, as fascist memory traveled across time and space, the book argues, it contributed to the political challenges that we face today. Based on a variety of unpublished sources, the book offers new insights for students of memory, Holocaust, fascism, and antisemitism studies, Jewish studies, Central and Eastern European history, and Hungarian studies.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Far Right in Greece and the Law
Book SynopsisThis book critically evaluates the rise of the far-right in Greece, detailing the legal context in which to understand both the emergence of Golden Dawn, the far-right's largest grouping, and the 2020 court decision, in which it was deemed to be a criminal organisation. Golden Dawn was a political party which, for years, also functioned as a violent subculture movement, with limited to no interference by the state. This book sets out the background to its rise in Greece, tracing its development from the post-Junta era. At the same time, the book provides an assessment of the legal framework within which the far-right has operated, and the legal tools available to tackle it including criminal law, non-discrimination law, the laws governing political parties and the public order framework, and the country's international and European obligations. Golden Dawn functioned as both a political party and violent entity until its leadership and parliamentary members were found guiltyTable of ContentsCHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Rethinking Catholicism in Renaissance Spain
Book SynopsisRethinking Catholicism in Renaissance Spain claims that theology and canon law were decisive for shaping ideas, debates, and decisions about key political and religious problems in Renaissance Spain.This book studies Catholic thought during the Spanish Renaissance, with the various contributors specifically exploring the ecclesiology and heresiology of the period. Today, these two subjects are considered to be strictly branches of theology, but at the time, they were also dealt with in the field of canon law. Both ecclesiology, which studied the internal structure of the Church, and heresiology, which identified theological errors, played an important role in shaping ideas, debates, and decisions concerning the major political and religious problems of the late medieval and early modern periods. In contrast to the conventional monolithic view of Spanish Catholic thought on ecclesiastical matters, the chapters in this book demonstrate that there was a wide spectrum ofTable of Contents0.

Each essay, from an international list of contributors, is based on new research which will complement existing studies in a range of disciplines by adding information on, among other topics, women's teacher training colleges, and women in the BBC, in medical laboratories and in Art schools. The book does not, however, idealise women: the militarism and racism of the period infected women too, and this is revealed in the account of women in the British Union of Fascists, and the analysis of the Pankhursts' merging of patriotism and gender issues.Through studies and personal accounts, This Working-Day World reveals past issues that are still pertinent to debatesTable of ContentsList of Illustrations, Acknowledgements, Introduction, Section I: Social History, 1.

Taylor & Francis Roots of Sustainability in the Iberian Empires
Book SynopsisThis book sheds light on the roots of sustainability in the Iberian Peninsula that lie in the interrelations between shipbuilding and forestry from the 14th to the 19th centuries, combining various geographical scales (local, regional and national) and different timespans (short-term and long-term studies).Three main themes are discussed in depth here: firstly, the roots of current conservationism in the Iberian Peninsula; the evolution of the forest policies set in motion at local, regional and national levels to meet the demand for wood and timber; and the long-standing impact of naval empirical forestry on the conservation and transformation of the forest landscape. Therefore, the book attempts, on the one hand, to unravel the forest policies and empirical forestry implemented in the Iberian Peninsula as the roots or origins of what we refer to nowadays as sustainability, and to assess the contribution of imperial forestry to landscape planning and the conservation of forest resources, on the other, and, finally, to break away from the prevailing theological narrative that shipbuilding was the main agent of forest destruction in the early modern Iberian Peninsula, for which both quantitative and qualitative analyses will be conducted.This book will be of key interest to environmental and social historians and researchers, and to anyone devoted to conducting research on the emergence and evolution of the concept of sustainability with respect to the governance and the historical transformation of woodlands around the world.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Indian Black and Irish
Book SynopsisThis book traces 500 years of European-American colonization and racialized dominance, expanding our common assumptions about the ways racialization was used to build capitalism and the modern world-system.Professor Fenelon draws on personal experience and the agency of understudied Native (and African) resistance leaders, to weave a story too often hidden or distorted in the annals of the academy, that remains invisible at many universities and historical societies. The book identifies three epochs of racial constructions, colonialism, and capitalism that created the USA. Indigenous nations, the first to be racialized on a global scale, African peoples, enslaved and brought to the Americas, and European immigrants. It offers a sweeping analysis of the forces driving the invasion, occupation, and exploitation of Native America and the significance of labor in American history provided by Indigenous people, Africans, and immigrants, specifically the Irish.Indian, BlaTrade Review"The prosperity of the West was built on the blood and land of Indigenous peoples and the sweat of other people of color. In this magisterial book, Professor Fenelon skillfully weaves the long and thick story of how all Europeans and a myriad of their institutions participated in this process and benefitted from it. After this book, no European or their descendants can claim racial innocence. Bravo Professor Fenelon for this major contribution."Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Duke University, author of Racism Without Racists"The history of capital, as Professor James Fenelon shows in this urgent and timely new study, is the history and racism and genocide. The story is told with great clarity, passion, and abundance of historical evidence. At a time when global capitalism is throwing communities around the world into desperate struggles for survival and threatening our very existence, this masterful study is as much a powerful indictment of the past and the present of this out of control system. as it is a dire warning of the future to come if we do not come to terms with the legacy of racism, colonialism, and genocide in the Americas and beyond."William I. Robinson, Distinguished Professor of Sociology, University of California at Santa Barbara, Author of The Global Police State"Once again, Dakota Professor James Fenelon offers a thoughtful, provocative, and engaging history examining race and racism globally. He focuses on Indigenous, Black, and Irish people, offering a global story of people and systems. The book analyzes the impact of colonialism, racism, and Native responses--past and present—of systems designed to denigrate, distort, and exploit. Fenelon focuses on agency and sovereign responses of people faced with rapid change and foreign disruptions. Superbly researched, elegantly written, and wonderfully argued, Fenelon draws on original sources, multiple illustrations, and his own experiences to offer this fascinating, groundbreaking study."Clifford E.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Landscape and Identity in the Modern Basque
Book SynopsisLandscape and Identity in the Modern Basque Country, 1800 to 1936 studies the relationship between landscape and modern identities in the Basque Country. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines cultural history and geography, it analyses the process of historical construction of the Basque landscape, highlighting its multiple political, social and cultural meanings.The book is divided into two parts: the first examines the discourses, images and representations of the Basque landscape; the second examines landscape practices through tourism, hiking and mountaineering. Focusing on the Basque case but establishing numerous connections with comparable phenomena in Western Europe, the book demonstrates that the landscape became a structuring element insofar as it helped shape individual identities while participating in the creation of social links. This book examines the processes of identity construction from below by means of new interpretative tools, such as Trade ReviewThrough the study of the landscape and its practices, mainly sports, Maitane Ostolaza shows us the whole of Basque society, in all its astonishing complexity. This ambitious book undertakes a true history of the environment "from below", where the realms of historicity and geography are intimately linked.Stéphane Michonneau, Professor of Contemporary History, University of LilleThanks to her vast knowledge of the scholarly literature and sources, the author beautifully analyses the process of construction of a Basque identity landscape. Her attention to the actors of this process allows her to present with great insight the different landscape grammars that demonstrate the multiple facets of the mountain, the forest and the sea.François Walter, Professor of History, University of GenevaThis original and engaging book is required reading for anyone attempting to understand not only the pivotal role of landscape (the sea, the mountains) in Basque history and identity but also the fascination exerted by Basque places (Biarritz, Gernika, Bilbao, San Sebastian) on travellers, tourists and scholars worldwide, particularly since the Romantic period.
