University of Illinois Press Southern Discomfort
Book SynopsisLinked to the Caribbean and southern Europe as well as to the Confederacy, the Cigar City of Tampa, Florida, never fit comfortably into the biracial mold of the New South. Nancy A. Hewitt explores the interactions among distinct groups of women--native-born white, African American, Cuban and Italian immigrant women--that shaped women''s activism in the vibrant, multiethnic city. Hewitt emphasizes the process by which women forged and reformulated their activist identities from Reconstruction through the U.S. declaration of war against Spain in April 1898, the industrywide cigar strike of 1901, and the emergence of progressive reform and labor militancy. She also recasts our understanding of southern history by demonstrating how Tampa''s triracial networks alternately challenged and re-inscribed the South''s biracial social and political order. Trade ReviewJulia Cherry Spruill Prize, Southern Association for Women Historians, 2002. "A splendid piece of work: rich in detail, soundly reasoned, and provocative in its implications for social historians' debates about identity. Hewitt's lucid, engaging prose makes the book a particularly good one for use in undergraduate classrooms, but specialists will also find it a most valuable read."--Journal of American History"Hewitt's book revises previous notions about the biracialism of Jim Crow. . . .

University of Illinois Press An African in Paris
Book SynopsisWriting in an informal and episodic style, Bernard Dadié recounts a West African man''s first journey to France, from the exhilarating moment when he obtains his ticket through a humorous and fascinating tour across the City of Light. In 1959, when Un Negre a Paris first appeared, the French still held West Africa under colonial rule. Dadié''s subtle parodies draw on intimate knowledge obtained over decades spent observing the colonizers abroad and now, suddenly, on their own home terrain. His remarks on Parisian living conditions, wordplay, manners, and and morals are entertaining and poignant, charming yet profound. Trade Review"These travel reports present a vision of France through the eyes of a naive traveler, whose irony, humor, and quality of observation remind me very much of Montesquieu's Lettres Persanes."--Elisabeth Mudimbe-Boyi, Duke University

University of Illinois Press If They Dont Bring Their Women Here Chinese Female Immigration Before Exclusion The Asian American Experience
Book Synopsis"Seven years before the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 comprehensively disqualified all members of China's laboring class from immigration status, the Page Law sought to stem the tide of Chinese prostitutes entering the United States. This title investigates how administrative agencies and federal courts enforced immigration laws.Trade Review"Peffer convincingly argues that the Page Law helped perpetuate the gender imbalance in the Chinese American population for another century and consequently led to a socially dysfunctional ethnic society. This book will encourage people to reconceptualize the periods of Chinese immigration and reinterpret Chinese American experiences."--New Mexico Historical Review"Individual chapters provide excellent examples of this [discriminatory] behavior among the ranks of Hong Kong consuls and San Francisco authorities. Peffer's work joins a number of recent studies in enhancing understanding of the historically negative American reaction to Asians."--Choice"Peffer successfully challenges stereotypes that have been the foundation of Chinese American studies."—Sue Fawn Chung, author of The Silver Mountain: A History of the Chinese in Nevada

University of Illinois Press The Immigrant Threat
Book SynopsisFocuses on large and problematic groups from Western Europe's past (the Irish in the United Kingdom, the Poles in Germany, and the Italians in France) and demonstrates a number of structural similarities in the way migrants and their descendants integrated into these nation states.Trade Review"This book is an important addition to the literature on integration in Western Europe, and draws on a balanced selection of key works that have contributed to an understanding of the impact migration processes have on both the host society and on the migrants themselves. . . . With a historian's eye for comparative detail that links the past and the present, Lucassen has written a book that shows how perceptions of migrants as problematic and threatening to the host nation are not a new phenomenon."--Patterns of Prejudice"The acid test of a scholarly book is whether we learn something new from reading it—a more stringent version, whether we learn something new about a subject we thought we already knew well. By that tougher standard, Leo Lucassen's new book, The Immigrant Threat, passes with distinction. . . . It rescues a nearly lost history, that of earlier immigrations to western European countries, such as the movement of Italians to France. . . . Lucassen is convincing that the comparison between past and present has produced a 'feast of recognition' of similarities between different eras, notwithstanding the obvious differences."--International Review of Social History"By far the most persuasive and important message of the book is the general one that historians and social scientists should get together more and pool their resources. Certainly social science researchers examining recent and contemporary migrations have tended to overlook the past. On the one hand, the successful incorporation of immigrants in earlier migration epochs has become an invisible part of national histories and memories; on the other hand, the longer-term assumption (based especially on the U.S. experience) of successful assimilation hides many difficult phases of discrimination and ethnic identity survival."--International History Review"Well-written and extremely well-researched. . . . Makes a significant contribution to current immigration debates and should be widely consulted."--Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare"Important reading for U.S. as well as European audiences.

Indiana University Press Identity Citizenship and Political Conflict in
Book SynopsisReconsiders how national identity has been understood in Africa and presents new approaches to identity politics, intergroup relations, state-society relations, and notions of national citizenship and citizenship rights.Trade ReviewKeller shows a strong understanding of the political dynamics at play in the discourse around identity and citizenship in Africa. He does not declare a one-size-fit-all attitude in his analysis of the various countries used as case studies. By consciously declaring that there is no one way to read civil conflict in modern Africa, he makes the book an obvious work in progress. This is welcomed given the complex nature of various African nation states. I find the book to be incisive in analysis and critical to the issues of identity and citizenship in Africa. It potentially forms a significant text for scholars and students of African conflict studies. For ordinary readers, the work is engaging and detailed with current information about the situation in many African countries. * African Studies Quarterly *Most certainly, Identity, Citizenship, and Political Conflict in Africa is a useful publication, which contributes to the disciplines of African studies, history, and politics and should benefit students, general readers, and scholars with interdisciplinary academic interests. * Africa Today *This book would certainly be useful in graduate seminars on African politics, African history or ethnic politics. It is written in a clear, straightforward style that also makes it appropriate for use in advanced undergraduate classes. Keller also offers insights for policymakers and development practitioners who continue to grapple with the real-world consequences of citizenship conflicts. * Journal of Modern African Studies *Keller has written an impressive and path-breaking book in African politics that can be useful by upper-level undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in African studies. * African Conflict and Peacebuilding Review *Altogether, this book offers a fine survey of the essential question of citizenship in Africa, one that will be of particular value to those without prior exposure to the scholarship on the topic.

Indiana University Press Socialist Heritage
Book SynopsisFocusing on Romania from 1945 to 2016, Socialist Heritage explores the socialist state's attempt to create its own heritage, as well as the legacy of that project. Contrary to arguments that the socialist regimes of Central and Eastern Europe aimed to erase the pre-war history of the socialist cities, Emanuela Grama shows that the communist state in Romania sought to exploit the past for its own benefit. The book traces the transformation of a central district of Bucharest, the Old Town, from a socially and ethnically diverse place in the early 20th century, into an epitome of national history under socialism, and then, starting in the 2000s, into the historic center of a European capital. Under socialism, politicians and professionals used the district's historic buildings, especially the ruins of a medieval palace discovered in the 1950s, to emphasize the city's Romanian past and erase its ethnically diverse history. Since the collapse of socialism, the cultural and economic value ofTrade ReviewThe volume presents a nuanced analysis of material heritage and its strategic use during the socialist period in Romania's capital city Bucharest and its continued legacy today. What is refreshing in this book, apart from the careful documentation and wealth of archival sources consulted, is the fact that the author brought together sources from fields that are not seemingly directly connected to heritage studies. Grama gracefully moves across different areas through with her use of secondary sources, bringing together urban planning, political studies, economic and social analyses. Grama also brings together key anthropological research studies on Romania, both national and international. -- Cristina Clopot * International Journal of Heritage Studies *The strengths of this book are the breadth of the data sources, which have enabled the author to uncover in detail how change in a particular historic urban landscape is shaped by broader issues of power and identity (in both socialist and post-socialist contexts). Socialist Heritage will be of interest to postgraduate students and academic researchers in disciplines such as history, anthropology, human geography, urban studies and sociology. For anybody wanting to understand Bucharest's Old Town there is no better source available. Indeed, over the course of 25 years I have frequently wandered around the Old Town and found myself asking "why is it like this?". Now, after reading Socialist Heritage, I know. -- Duncan Light * Eurasian Geography and Economics *Grama does a brilliant job bringing this story to our attention and explaining why we should care about it. Her book deserves to be widely read. * Survival *An outstanding contribution in the field of anthropology of heritage. -- Dana Domsodi * Sociologia *Grama takes us through a journey of how the heritage discourse was first constructed and operationalized through archaeological, historiographic, and urban planning activities under state socialism, and then repurposed as well as contested after 1989, with results that show profound fissures in the ability to deploy "heritage" as a successful legitimating tool. . . . Overall, the book offers a vivid and provocative analysis of the politics of urban planning in Bucharest after World War II. The arc of the narrative highlights the huge gaps between policy makers and citizens who bear the brunt of these heritage entrepreneurs' ambitions for power and money. -- Maria Bucur * ANTHROPOLOGICAL QUARTERLY *The book is beautifully written, and readers from different disciplinary backgrounds interested in topics as diverse as socialism and postsocialism, the materiality of the state and city, architecture and its political power, including the making of urban heritage, will find enough to enrich their own reflections. -- Antonela Capelle Pogacean * H-Urban *Emanuela Grama's Socialist Heritage: The Politics of Past and Place in Romania is a compelling exploration of heritage making as state-making through the lens of the postwar and postcommunist transformations of Bucharest's Old Town. . . . A theoretically dense but engagingly written book, Socialist Heritage is a must-read not only for specialists of (post)socialist Romania and eastern Europe, but also for students and researchers of nationalism, urbanization and heritage making, history (re)writing, the role of experts under socialism, postcommunist efforts of Europeanization, and privatization as gentrification, or ruination as commodification. -- Diana Georgescu * Slavic Review *This book is well-grounded in empirical data, especially archival (for the socialist period) and ethnographic (for both socialist and especially postsocialist circumstances)—the interpretation of the sources and the extracts from the documents and interlocutors' statements vividly reveal discourses of politics, experts and residents related to the Old Town's (re)making, and not just regarding the area's heritage. -- Srdjan Radovic * Comparative Southeast European Studies *Table of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroduction1.

Indiana University Press Getting By in Postsocialist Romania
Book SynopsisA poignant portrayal of the price of postsocialist transition for industrial workersTrade ReviewKideckel's extensive fieldwork among Romania's Jiu Valley and Fagaraş coal miners, coupled with the workers' narratives quoted throughout the book, lends authority to his detailed analysis of the denigrating conditions suffered by "once celebrated" people. The regions under study were prosperous coal-producing areas that attracted a multicultural workforce. In the postsocialist era, as a transformed Romania becomes a consumer society, the miners are the "canaries in the coal mine of postsocialism," Kideckel asserts. The workers strive to maintain "a tenuous hold on life, work, family, and community" in the face of economic restructuring, privatization, and buyouts. The security and status they felt in socialist society have disappeared. This book contains many firsthand accounts from workers, grounding Kideckel's generalizations in the gritty lives endured by the miners and their families. Kideckel's contribution is the eighth in the publisher's "New Anthropologies of Europe" series. It is emblematic of the series goal to publish ethnographic manuscripts that examine topics such as globalization, ethnicity, and market reform and, at the same time, contribute to theory building in social sciences. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. -- Choice L. De Danaan, emerita, Evergreen State College, April 2009"Kideckel's book gives a voice to the Romanian working class and lets them speak for themselves... [he] states in a pointed manner that the meaning of 'getting by' has shifted from 'manipulating the system in one's interest' to managing basic survival' in every sphere of life." —H-SAE, June, 2011"What makes the book a ‘must-read’ for those interested in post-socialist Eastern Europe, or labour issues, is the fact that David Kideckel listens. He transforms the detailed account of day-to-day lives into authentic carefully interpreted written testimonies. This corpus of reflections makes an important contribution to Eastern European studies and reading it cannot leave a heart unmoved by the simple but powerful experiences thatan entire social class was and is struggling with in post-socialist Romania." —Gabriela Walker, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Europe - Asia Studies, Vol. 61.9 Nov. 2009"... the text is wholly evocative, compellingly written, and clearly organized. 'Getting By in Postsocialist Romania' should appeal to a wide range of audiences, including scholars of postsocialist studies, those interested in issues of economic policy and development, health, and gender studies, and to students at all levels." —Karen Kapusta-Pofahl, American Ethnologist"The book is a valuable contribution to the field of postsocialist studies offering a compassionate discussion of the day-to-day experience of the depressed former industrial worker. It is engagingly written... by the author who has over thirty years of ethnographic research experience in Romania. It makes an excellent text for both undergraduate and graduate courses that deal with working-class culture, postsocialism, Eastern Europe, as well as social transformation and political economy to show how consumption and production are intimately related in the development of working-class identity." —Canadian American Slavic Studies"David Kideckel challenges celebratory images of postsocialism by focusing on the often neglected working class and allowing the disenfranchised to speak for themselves. In so doing he provides a contribution to the ethnography of eastern Europe that speaks poignantly to broader discussions of work, class, and gender under neoliberalism." —Gerald Creed, Hunter College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York"Overall, this is a very valuable book that sheds considerable light on a subject that is rarely covered in most literature on Romania." —Slavonic and East European Review, Vol. 88.3, July 2010Table of ContentsContentsPreface 1.

University of Notre Dame Press Europe Through Prism of Japan
Book SynopsisIn this engaging and innovative new book, French scholar Jacques Proust analyzes the image Europe presented to Japan, deliberately or otherwise, from the mid-sixteenth century to the end of the eighteenth century. Appearing for the first time in an American translation, Europe through the Prism of Japan relies on a large quantity of underexplored documents from which Proust has tried to reconstruct, like a puzzle, Japanese-European relations during the age of European exploration.This fascinating book describes in careful detail developments in Japanese culture and civilization during three hundred years of interaction between Japanese and Europeans, including Dutch merchants, Spanish Catholic missionaries, and German and Portuguese Jesuits. Proust examines not only Europeans' influence on Japan but also the unique Japanese interpretation of European culture. This fresh perspective offers a prism through which Europe may be viewed and frequently sheds light on facets of EuropTrade Review“Europe Through the Prism of Japan is a true tour-de-force in historiography. A study of European civilization based on the way that civilization presented itself to Japan, between the 16th and 18th centuries, it is one of the more innovative and informative works I have read in a long time.” —Annette Aronowicz, professor of religious studies, Franklin & Marshall College“… thought-provoking …there are many useful insights to be gained from Proust’s book …” —Sixteenth Century Journal"This is an interesting … addition to the history of cross-cultural contacts, which should join the ranks of such classics as C.R.

University of Notre Dame Press Year of the Euro
Book SynopsisThe Year of the Euro examines the wide-ranging importance of Europe's new single currency beyond its impact on financial markets and the economy itself. On January 1, 2002, when the new currency began to circulate in the twelve participating member states of the European Union, the long move toward a supranational European framework for trade and institutions finally entered the fabric of daily life for hundreds of millions of citizens. The contributing authors to this highly readable and interdisciplinary volume offer a variety of perspectives on this extraordinary episode in currency change and European convergence. The book's essays offer the assessments of leading scholars of European affairsfrom the fields of history, political science, sociology, and lawas to whether the new common currency will reshape the continent's cultures, societies and political systems and, if so, in what ways. The discussions and debates found in these pages will inform those, within and outsidTrade Review"This collection should be of interest to all those concerned with the viability and implications of the euro changeover, as well as with the broader theoretical issues posed by this extraordinary historical experience. The book is intended to contribute to existing scholarship and to encourage future academic work, but it is also designed to be fully accessible and broadly informative for readers outside conventional academic circles who are interested in Europe's experience with currency union." —Abstracts of Public Administration, Development and Environment "The euro has quickly become a world currency, and this excellent work explains how this came about. It does the job, not only by looking at the economic factors involved, but also at political, legal, social, and cultural factors—all in a very creative and readable manner." —Richard Swedberg, Cornell University"If the nineteenth and twentieth centuries brought a dramatic nationalization of government-backed currencies across the world, does the euro's introduction in 2002 write finis to the era of nationalism? Here, superbly informed observers of European politics, economy, and social life debate that question from multiple perspectives, not only documenting the depth of the euro's challenge, but also mapping alternative futures for Europe. An illuminating intervention in a vital conversation." —Viviana A. Zelizer, Lloyd Cotsen '50 Professor of Sociology, Princeton University"This is one of the most interesting and original books in the burgeoning field of EU studies to have emerged in recent years. Its emphasis on the likely social and cultural—not just political and economic—impact of the euro at the national, subnational, and supranational levels is timely and refreshing. Tightly edited, this book should be essential reading for professional and amateur EU-watchers alike." —Desmond Dinan, Jean Monnet Professor of Public Policy, George Mason University

University of Notre Dame Press Looking Forward
Book SynopsisIn Looking Forward, Marifeli Perez-Stable and her colleagues imagine Cuba''s future after the poof momentJorge I. Domínguez''s vivid phrasewhen the current regime will no longer exist. Written in an accessible style that will appeal to all interested readers, this volume does not try to predict how and when the Castro regime will end, but instead considers the possible consequences of change. Each chapterprepared by an expert in the fieldtakes up a basic issue: politics, the military, the legal system, civil society, gender, race, economic transition strategies, social policy and social welfare, corruption, the diaspora, memory, ideology and culture, and U.S.-Cuba relations. The author of each chapter considers three questions: How have other new democracies handled the basic issue in question? How might Cuba''s unique conditions affect this area in transition? What are the likely outcomes and alternatives for a Cuba in transition? Designed with students, policy-makersTrade Review“This is a collection of articles on post-Castro Cuba that ranges from classical transition studies . . . to issues closer to the microphysics of power. . . . All of these are essential to understanding a regime that made a vast symbolic investment to consolidate its power.” —Abstracts of Public Administration, Development, and Environment“Informed by the experiences of socialist transitions in eastern Europe and East Asia, leading experts on Cuba offer stimulating speculations on post-Castro scenarios . . . [and] includes a number of outstanding chapters. Carmelo Mesa-Lago suggests plausible ways that a post-Castro Cuba could achieve greater economic efficiency without sacrificing social equity, and Daniel Erikson offers striking insights on how to escape the corruption curse. And the always eloquent William LeoGrande provocatively suggests that Miami's hard-line Cuba lobby may prove to be a paper tiger when the moment for normalization finally arrives.” —Foreign Affairs“Contributing experts address particular issues, which include politics, the military, the legal system, civil society, gender, race, economic transition strategies, social policy/social welfare, corruption, the diaspora, memory, ideology and culture, and relations between the United States and Cuba.” —Hispanic Link Weekly Report“Writings that speculate on Cuba's economic, political, and social transition after Fidel Castro's death.” —The Chronicle of Higher Education“Perez-Stable presents 12 essays that explore the possible paths of a post-Castro Cuba with reference to the extent literature on democratic transition. . . . The topics addressed include political institutions, civil-military relations, constitutional change, civil society, gender equality, race and cultural politics, economic transition, social policy and social welfare, corruption, the émigré community, ideology and memory, and relations with the United States.” —Research Book News“This book focuses on what the authors believe to be the inevitable transition to a democratic regime in Cuba after Fidel and places their estimates of what that transition might be in a comparative framework, making particular reference to the transitions to democracy in Latin America and to the transitions from authoritarian socialist regimes in Eastern Europe, China, and Vietnam. All in all this is an excellent collection and it should be on the reading list of anyone interested in Cuba.” —The Americas“The essays are surprisingly far from theoretical but essentially practical and highly accessible. Early in the revolution, Castro liked to say that Cuba represented socialism with a human face. Well, that is so with the essays in this volume. Whatever happens to the island, this book will serve as a guide to readers trying to understand social developments and political transformation in post-Castro Cuba.” —Multicultural Review“This is the most important book about Cuba to appear in a generation. A group of ‘not-your-usual-émigrés’ and other experts who have taught us most of what we already know about contemporary Cuba have performed an extraordinary service to the policy and academic communities—and their patria—in imagining Cuba's future after Fidel. Building on their diverse expertise in politics, economic reform, civil-military relations, social policy, race, gender, and cultural relations, and drawing from models around the world of regime transitions gone wrong and right, their compelling essays project Cuba's recent past onto its immediate future and lay a blueprint for a free, democratic, and just society. There is quite simply no book like it.” —Frances Hagopian, Michael Grace II Associate Professor of Latin American Studies, Kellogg Institute for International Studies, University of Notre Dame“There are few if any serious, balanced, and comprehensive appraisals of the various futures open to Cuba upon the death of Fidel Castro. For those interested in these matters, this book is a treasure trove of data, analysis, and innovative thinking about Cuba’s precarious future. Its originality lies first in the fact that each chapter offers detailed descriptions of processes and lessons from other Latin American and socialist contexts that shed light on what is likely to happen in Cuba. At the same time, these chapters manage to give credit to the unique and exceptional nature of Cuban history, nationalism, and socialism so that lessons are not applied blindly with no eye to their applicability in the Cuban context.” —Ted Henken, Baruch College“When Fidel Castro is gone, Cuba will change. Whether change is peaceful or violent —or for good or ill—willl depend on whether we take the lessons offered in Perez-Stable´s collection of essays from the very best experts on Cuba. If there is to be a happy ending, then Looking Forward offers the best map yet on how to get there.“ —Ambassador (retired) Vicki J. Huddleston, former Principal Officer of the United States Interests Section in Havana, Cuba 1999–2002

While many studies have analyzed specific regions within the Pacific, this work considers the whole of this vast ocean.Trade Review“Wilson’s translation is polished and lucid, and Heffer handles the complexities of his story adroitly; his historical synthesis will introduce a new generation of readers to a region certain to play an increasingly important role in world affairs.” —Publishers Weekly“It is profound and is highly recommended.” —Journal of the West"Heffer offers striking details and a conceptually expansive text. No equivalent exists on this topic, and we are fortunate to have this work translated for a wide readership, both scholarly and general." —Library Journal“[A] strikingly successful narrative. . . . One of the greatest strengths of Heffer’s book is the way it narrates the domestic American story of Asian immigration . . . consistently sound judgement characterizes the book. Perhaps the most rewarding part of Heffer’s book, however, is the section which brings the story almost to the present day, again distinguished by its clearsightedness and sound judgement.” —Times Literary Supplement“The book is a solid contribution to the field of Pacific Studies because of its theoretical perspective, which is innovative in its geographical scope thus offering a useful sythesis for students and scholars in history and other social sciences.” —Journal of Economic History“The publication of an English translation of this unique treatise is a welcome and important addition to our understanding of how the United States was shaped by the Pacific Ocean and Pacific rim, and, conversely, how the United States shaped that oceanic world, its islands, and littorals.” —International History Review

Pennsylvania State University Press Songs of the Lisu Hills
Book SynopsisExplores the history and practice of Lisu Christianity in southwest China, describing how the Lisu maintained their Christian faith through China’s tumultuous twentieth century and into the present.Trade Review“This original and insightful study of the indigenization of Christianity among Lisu communities in China’s southwestern borderlands is thoroughly researched, convincingly argued, and beautifully written. Aminta Arrington draws on extensive ethnographic information, archival materials, and local Lisu publications to contextualize the making of Lisu churches in the new century.”—Joseph Tse-Hei Lee,author of The Bible and the Gun: Christianity in South China, 1860–1900“A compelling story about the contested Christianity embraced by the Lisu. The author shows how the Lisu have made translated Western hymns their own, how they express their faith in practices rather than in creeds, and how they perpetuate these practices, which serve as boundary markers that help maintain Lisu identity as one of fifty-five minorities in China.”—Michael Rynkiewich,author of Soul, Self, and Society: A Postmodern Anthropology for Mission in a Postcolonial World“Songs of the Lisu Hills provides real insight into Lisu history and religious experience and into the theological possibilities behind those joyful songs.”—Nathan Faries Journal of Ecclesiastical History“This book is highly readable and suitable for readers who are interested in ethnic Christianity in China. At the same time, its scholarly contribution stands out, especially in its anthropological approach to the situation of Lisu Christianity after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, which can effectively complement the historical research orientation of established studies. In addition, the book’s emphasis on a research perspective of world Christianity and the path of practicing Christianity is conducive to promoting the development of ethnic Christianity studies in China.”—Wei Xiong Religious Studies Review“A fascinating blend of the Lisu’s Christian history, communal practices, and personal stories.”—Linda Banks and Robert Banks Mission StudiesTable of ContentsList of IllustrationsForeword by Brian StanleyAcknowledgments List of AbbreviationsNotes About the Lisu Language and Its UsageIntroduction: Tso Lo HamletVoice: Mie Hui Qing1.
