Cambridge University Press Gender in Mystical Occult Thought Behmenism and its Development in England Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History
Book SynopsisThis is the first comprehensive account of the development of the ideas on gender of Jacob Boehme (1575â1624) among his English followers, tracing the changes in gender and sexuality in such esoteric traditions as alchemy, hermeticism and the Cabala. The book argues that Behmenist thought in these areas is a neglected aspect of the revision in the moral status of women during the early modern period, contributing significantly to the rise of the Romantic notion of womanhood and 'Victorian' sexual ideology. It deals with English Behmenism from its reception during the Interregnum through to its impact upon William Blake and the Swedenborgians in the eighteenth century. The book also strongly challenges received opinions on the relationship of Behmenism to the English radical tradition.Trade Review"Gibbons has succeeded in his aim of making the thought of Jakob Boehme more widely known, but he has also achieved considerably more. This book is a multi-faceted survey of the intellectual framework within which Behmenist ideas on gender operated. It constitutes an admirable addition to the literature.""In these much of the value of this well-researched, well-written book lies." Seventeenth-Century News"...a learned, well-documented analysis of the heterogeneous ways in which a specific set of religious ideas." Studies in Christianity and Culture"Dr. Gibbons' welcome study returns to an area of religious and cultural history that was popular in the early part of this century: the voluminous mystical writings of Jacob Boehme, and the story of their profound impact on English religious and intellectual life from the point of their translation into English during the Civil War and Interregnum years down to their role in nineteenth-century theosophy. Gibbons adds significant new dimensions and achieves a distinctive overview.... The result is a study that offers the best detailed account in English of Boehme's life and works, and, where the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries are concerned, the most searching analysis yet of Boehme's influence. The reader moves through a series of concisely written chapters...leading into the best and most original sections...." Nigel Smith, AlbionTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2.

Cambridge University Press State Formation in Early Modern England c.15501700
Book SynopsisOn the basis of a wide-ranging synthesis of work in diverse fields of English, British and colonial history, this book makes an alternative argument about the modernisation of the seventeenth-century English state. It also focuses on the role of class and gender interests in the state's development.Trade Review'… this is a breakthrough book of fundamental importance. By investing it with a new theoretical rigour, and so integrating its intellectual, cultural, social, economic and political aspects, Braddick has not only moved the analysis of state formation on to a broader canvas, but raised it to a new level.' The English Historical Review'An interesting study with an original approach.' Northern History'By appreciating the complexity of state 'formation' rather than 'making', and by crossing the boundaries separating periods and those dividing different fields of historical analysis, Braddick has provided the best guide we have to the early modern state.'

Cambridge University Press The Kurdish Womens Freedom Movement
Book SynopsisDespite international focus on Kurdish women revolutionaries, little is known about who these women are, where they came from and what keeps them engaged in this costly fight. This book traces the history, ideology, and everyday practices of women in the political, activist and armed branches of the Kurdish Freedom Movement.Trade Review'The highly original ethnography and bold ethnography of Isabel Käser sheds new light on the evolution of the Kurdish conflict and allows us to understand the complexity of gender-based emancipatory projects emerging in a Near East under fire.' Hamit Bozarslan, EHESS, Paris'This splendid book takes seriously the Kurdish militant women in all their ever-evolving complexity, grappling with multiple conundrums. Isabel Käser's work shows us that being a grittily engaged feminist ethnographer does not make it necessary - either intellectually or politically - to resolve these tensions. Rather, what she asks of us is to develop our capacities to resist simplistic resolutions and, instead, stay attentive to the gendered dynamics that shape the lives of the women on the insurgent frontlines.' Cynthia Enloe, Clark University'Isabel Käser has created a real masterpiece with this book … It is the first publication of its kind: a detailed, critical analysis in solidarity of the feminism and women's movement within the PKK and the parts of the Kurdish Movement close to it.' Wiener Jahrbuch für Kurdishe Studien'[The book] is highly recommended for those interested in the women's movement in Kurdistan, but also for those more interested in the way women's subjectivities are produced and embodied within revolutionary movements.' Joost Jongerden, International Review of Social HistoryTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. The PKK – a woman's party? A history of the Kurdistan women's freedom movement 1978–2020; 2. Diyarbakir under fire: women at the barricades; 3. The mountain life: on learning to become free; 4. Mothers and martyrs: the struggle for life and the commemoration of death in Maxmûr camp; 5. Unmaking and remaking sexuality: body politics and the PKK; Conclusion.
