  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Rethinking the Red Power Movement

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisRethinking the Red Power Movement examines Red Power ideology with a focus on its many forms of solidarity with African Americans, the role of gender in shaping the movement, its international expansion, and its current meaning in contemporary activism.The Red Power Movement is often considered the apex of Indigenous activism in the twentieth century. While diverse, the movement is typically told through four actions. Beginning with the occupation of Alcatraz in 1969, followed by the Trail of Broken Treaties in 1972, Wounded Knee in 1973, then culminating with the Longest Walk in 1978, there is a clear jumpstart, middle, and end to the Red Power Movement. Through a chronological approach, this study makes the case that Red Power never diedâand neither did Indigenous activism. Instead, it shows how Indigenous peoples found many ways to push forward Indigenous sovereignty and continue to call on the United States to value Indigenous possibilities for justice, freedom, and power.This book is useful for students and scholars interested in twentieth century America, social movements, and the history of Indigenous activism.

    Book SynopsisHistory on Film/Film on History has established itself as a classic treatise on the historical film and its role in bringing the past to life. In the fourth edition of this widely acclaimed text, Robert A. Rosenstone argues that to leave history films out of the discussion of the meaning of the past is to ignore a major means of understanding historical events.This book examines what history films convey about the past and how they convey it, demonstrating the need to learn how to read and understand this new visual world and integrating detailed analysis of films such as Schindler's List, Glory, October, and Reds. Advocating for the dramatic feature as a legitimate way of doing history, this edition includes a new Preface and a new chapter that focuses on films produced in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, India, and East Asia.Examining the codes and conventions of how these films tell us about the past and providing Table of ContentsContentsIllustrations Preface to the series Introduction to the fourth editionIntroduction to the third edition Introduction to the second edition AcknowledgmentsChapter 1 History on film Chapter 2 To see the past Chapter 3 Mainstream drama Chapter 4 Innovative drama Chapter 5 Documentary Chapter 6 Telling lives Chapter 7 Film-maker/historian Chapter 8 Engaging the discourse Chapter 9 The view from 2017Chapter 10 Beyond the WestChapter 11 Film on history Guide to key reading Bibliography Index

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Ujamaa and Ubuntu

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisFor over a decade, the world has experienced an accelerating erosion of a language that took hundreds of years to emerge. It is a language ordering time and space with words, such as enlightenment, reason, rationality, modernization, and the most recent by-word, globalization. However, it is a language that has been accompanied by colonialism, imperialism, racism, the exploitation of people and nature, an unequal distribution of the world's resources, pogroms, genocides, and world wars. There has been a gap between assumptions underlying a visionary ambition and the often-brutal practices that have accompanied it. Moreover, it is a language that expresses European values, with the implicit or explicit suggestion that they pertain to the whole world, a civilizing mission from a European centre. Although the established narrative argued that there was continuous progress, it was a conclusion reached through hindsight. The idea of progress had to be repeatedly recreated through new visTable of Contents1. Introduction 2. Ujamaa: evasive and elusive African socialism 3.

    Book SynopsisSources are the raw material of History, but whereas the written word has traditionally been seen as the principal source, historians now recognize the value of sources beyond text. In this new edition of History and Material Culture, contributors consider a range of objects from an eighteenth-century bed curtain to a twenty-first-century shopping trolley which can help historians develop new interpretations and new knowledge about the past.Containing two new chapters on healing objects in East Africa and the shopping trolley in the social world, this book examines a variety of material sources from around the globe and across centuries to assess how such sources can be used to study the distant and the recent past. In a revised introduction, Karen Harvey discusses some of the principal issues raised when historians use material culture, particularly in the context of ''the material turn'', and suggests some initial steps for those unfamiliar with these kinds&nbTable of ContentsList of illustrationsList of contributorsAcknowledgementsIntroduction: Historians, material culture and materialityKaren Harvey1 – Things that shape history: material culture and historical narrativesGiorgio Riello2 – Ornament as evidenceAndrew Morrall3 – Back yards and beyond: landscapes and historyMarina Moskowitz4 – Draping the body and dressing the home: the material culture of textiles and clothes in the Atlantic world, c. 1500-1800Beverly Lemire5 – Using buildings to understand social history: Britain and Ireland in the seventeenth centuryAnne Laurence6 – Pushed around: material culture, dispossession, and the American shopping cartCatherine Gudis7 – Repurposed objects and performance: ritual acts of healing in East AfricaJonathan Walz8 – Object biographies: from production to consumptionKarin Dannehl9 – Regional identity and material cultureHelen Berry10 – Objects and agency: material culture and modernity in ChinaFrank Dikötter11 – Mundane materiality, or, should small things still be forgotten?

    Book SynopsisIn her brilliant new opening essay, Banerjee says of Berdyaev he was never more than a curious but unwelcome guest in history. He fearlessly engaged it on the level of ideas while remaining alien to its means and ends, gifted with an incurable longing for transcendence. Witness to two world wars, Berdyaev observed the destruction of established cultures in the traumatic birth of new systems. Arrested on political suspicion-by Czarist and then by Bolshevik policehe died in exile in France in 1948, carrying forth his intellectual work until the end.Berdyaev considered the philosophy of history as a field that laid the foundations of the Russian national consciousness. Its disputes were centered on distinctions between Slavophiles and Westerners, East and West. The Meaning of History was an early effort, following World War I, that attempted to revive this perspective. With the removal of Communism as a ruling system in Russia, that nation returned to an elaboration of Table of ContentsI: On The Essence of the Historical: The Meaning of Tradition; II: On The Nature of The Historical: The Metaphysical and The Historical; III: Of Celestial History: God and Man; IV: Of Celestial History: Time and Eternity; V: The Destiny of The Jews; VI: Christianity and History; VII: The Renaissance and Humanism; VIII: The End of The Renaissance and The Crisis of Humanism: The Advent of The Machine; IX: The End of The Renaissance and The Crisis of Humanism: The Disintegration of The Human Image; X: The Doctrine of Progress and The Goal of History; Epilogue

Its conclusions cast doubt on existing assumptions about the nature and place of theory, and indeed of the possibility of knowledge itself, in the human sciences.Trade Review'Hawthorn's Plausible Worlds is not only a good read, filled with all sorts of fascinating information, but a book that raises very large and interesting questions about the nature of explanation in the human sciences. I found his answers to the questions persuasive.' Richard Rorty'This volume is a marvelously stimulating and thought provoking work. It ought to be on the reading lists of advanced courses on both the theory and the methodology of history writing.' Allan Megill, The American Historical ReviewTable of Contents1.

  • Cambridge University Press Archaeology and the Senses Human Experience

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book is an exciting new look at how archaeology has dealt with the bodily senses and offers an argument for how the discipline can offer a richer glimpse into the human sensory experience. Yannis Hamilakis shows how, despite its intensely physical engagement with the material traces of the past, archaeology has mostly neglected multi-sensory experience, instead prioritising isolated vision and relying on the Western hierarchy of the five senses. In place of this limited view of experience, Hamilakis proposes a sensorial archaeology that can unearth the lost, suppressed, and forgotten sensory and affective modalities of humans. Using Bronze Age Crete as a case study, Hamilakis shows how sensorial memory can help us rethink questions ranging from the production of ancestral heritage to large-scale social change, and the cultural significance of monuments. Hamilakis points the way to reconstituting archaeology as a sensorial and affective multi-temporal practice.Trade Review'This book goes far beyond a study of archaeology, the past, and the traditional senses of the modern Western world. It presents an innovative strategy that, through a broad approach to a sensorially inspired archaeology, enables the past to be written as a rich and affective palimpsest, while maintaining the standards and rigors of archaeological investigation.' Ruth Tringham, University of California, Berkeley'This is an extremely well-researched book which draws heavily on philosophical, historical, and anthropological thinking but embeds it excellently within the relevant archaeological literature. It should be attractive to all students and academics who wish to challenge the conventions of archaeological interpretation - it forms an important statement that future archaeologists may in time regard as a classic.' Paul Rainbird, University of Bristol'Richly evocative, theoretically innovative, and written by a leading figure in the field, Archaeology and the Senses opens up new terrain in the anthropology of the senses. The accessibility of this book will make it a touchstone for scholars and students interested in new approaches to the interpretation of material objects.' David Sutton, Southern Illinois University'… a valuable study of cultural thinking - and a very enjoyable one to read at the same time … [Hamilakis] produces a fact-based, culturally sensitive and theoretically subtle reading which, although at first might not seem groundbreaking, is in fact exactly that.' Dimitris Plantzos, Historein'Despite the complex philosophical and historical analysis in the first half of the book, it is an accessible work that does not require specialist knowledge to decipher, something the author should be proud of.' Kay Armstrong, Antike Welt'Anyone familiar with Hamilakis' output will recognise recurrent themes in this book: memory, personhood, commensality, reflexivity, politics and, of course, the senses. Pulling these topics together, the book represents a significant statement by one of the leading thinkers within archaeology.' Jo Day, AntiquityTable of Contents1. Demolishing the museum of sensory ab/sense; 2. Archaeology, modernity, and the senses; 3. Recapturing sensorial and affective experience; 4. Senses, materiality, time: a new ontology; 5. Sensorial necro-politics: the mortuary mnemoscapes of Bronze Age Crete; 6. Why 'palaces'? Senses, memory, and the 'palatial' phenomenon in Bronze Age Crete; 7.

    Book SynopsisA quarter-century after the publication of his classic account of man's attitudes to his past, David Lowenthal revisits how we celebrate, expunge, contest and domesticate the past to serve present needs. He shows how nostalgia and heritage now pervade every facet of public and popular culture.Trade Review'Dazzling and wide-ranging … packed with vivid examples and a vast range of pithy quotations, and throughout expressed with verve and wit.' Robert Tombs, Evening Standard'The range is truly impressive and the understanding, indeed vision, at play in the presentation of past legacies makes for an enthralling read.' Standpoint'In giving a context to conservation work of any type, in providing insights into the ways the past is seen, has been seen, and how the past is analysed (and why), this book is invaluable. … This is a superb survey. Covering almost the whole field of what we as a species have made, good and bad, and how we deal with this making and its outputs (or indeed how we do not deal with them), this is a book of great range and richness and offers an intensely personal view that always informs and challenges. Lowenthal's sheer energy, his depth of coverage and his insights are accessible, fascinating and essential reading.' Graham Voce, News in Conversation: International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works'Reader-friendly, with a light touch and a sharp sense of irony and paradox. Moves with ease from the psychology of memory to school textbooks, science fiction, museums, forgeries, re-enactments, ephemera, apologies for actions taken long ago, the effects of ageing (on both artefacts and people), and, of course, heritage.'

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisSince the end of the Second World War, the political rationale to remember the past has shifted from previous focus on states'' victories, as these began commemorating their own historical crimes. This Element follows the rise of ''auto-critical memory'', or the politics of remembrance of a country''s own dark past. The Element explores the idea''s gestation in West Germany after the Second World War, its globalisation through initiatives of ''transitional justice'' in the 1990s, and present-day debates about how to remember the colonial past. It follows different case studies that span the European continent ? including Germany, France, Britain, Poland and Serbia ? and places these in a global context that traces the circulation of ideas of auto-critical memory. Ultimately, as it follows the emergence of demands for social and racial justice, the Element questions the usefulness of memory to achieve the goals many political actors ascribe to it.
