WW Norton & Co Until Justice Be Done
Book SynopsisTrade Review"A remarkable and shattering book….Breathtakingly fresh." -- Harold Holzer - Wall Street Journal"Revelatory….excellent….If this is a clear-eyed book, it’s still a heartening one." -- Jennifer Szalai - New York Times"Momentous…a brilliant meditation on progress and its limits." -- John Fabian Witt - Washington Post"At a time when definitions of citizenship and civil rights are again under assault, Masur's careful accounting of the ways Americans came to understand such terms provides an informed perspective to appreciate that such concepts never were, and thus never are, self-evident. They require due diligence and vigilance to secure and sustain at all levels of government. An essential book." -- Library Journal (starred review)"Kate Masur’s masterpiece is an extraordinary contribution to our understanding of the central role of African Americans in conceiving American democracy." -- Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, author of Race for Profit"In this brilliant book, Kate Masur widens and deepens our understanding of the long struggle against racism throughout the United States." -- Alan Taylor, author of Thomas Jefferson’s Education"Kate Masur’s Until Justice Be Done is a masterpiece of scope, insight, and graceful writing about the central question in the making, unmaking, and remaking of an American democracy. This is a book we will read and conjure with for a long time." -- David W. Blight, author of Frederick Douglass"A tour de force: Until Justice Be Done is the eloquent and essential story of what the first civil rights movement achieved, and what it left for later generations to do." -- W. Caleb McDaniel, author of Sweet Taste of Liberty"A magnificent contribution to the history of antiracism in America." -- Randall Kennedy, author of For Discrimination"[A] tour de force of scholarship and lucid analysis." -- James M. McPherson, author of Battle Cry of Freedom"Until Justice Be Done tells the origin story of one of the most important and often-misunderstood ideas in American law and politics: racial equality before the law. It is a brilliant book." -- Dylan C. Penningroth, author of The Claims of Kinfolk"In our current moment, as we imagine paths forward for American democracy, Kate Masur’s revelatory book is essential reading." -- Daniel J. Sharfstein, author of Thunder in the Mountains"Kate Masur’s sobering and inspiring history of the ‘first civil rights movement’ could not be more timely." -- Steven Hahn, author of A Nation Under Our Feet"[I]lluminating history…This engrossing study goes beyond sectionalist accounts of the South's peculiar institution to show how racism and civil rights activism have shaped every corner of America." -- Publishers Weekly"A fine history of the first phase of the nation’s most enduring moral reform effort." -- Kirkus Reviews

Palgrave Macmillan Pioneers of SinoJapanese Relations
Book SynopsisThis book examines the careers of Liao Chengzhi and Takasaki Tatsunosuke, who were not only the architects of Sino-Japanese economic relations, but also pioneers of contemporary Sino-Japanese relations. Their visions and initiatives offer many insights into the current contentious relations among China, Japan, Russia, and the United States.Trade Review"For a decade the two most powerful states in East Asia, Japan and the People's Republic of China, carried on trade without recognizing each other diplomatically and this beginning only a short time after the conclusion of the bloodiest war between them in all history, and while Japan had diplomatic ties with China's archrival regime on Taiwan. This marvelous new book tells the story of how such an arrangement came into being and the two men who made it possible, Liao Chengzhi and Takasaki Tatsunosuke (known together as 'LT' for short). Surprisingly little has been written in English about these two men and their accomplishments, and Mayumi Itoh's new work now admirably fills the void." Joshua A. Fogel, Canada Research Chair, York University "In her meticulous and far-reaching analysis of the 1962 LT Accord, Itoh has constructed a compelling narrative of Sino-Japanese normalization by showing how the significant actors in this process, on both sides, were conscious of their responsibility to overcome the tragic legacy of the war."

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The History of Animals A Philosophy
Book SynopsisOxana Timofeeva''s The History of Animals: A Philosophy is an original and ambitious treatment of the animal question. While philosophers have always made distinctions between human beings and animals, Timofeeva imagines a world free of such walls and borders. Timofeeva shows the way towards the full acceptance of our animality; an acceptance which does not mean the return to our animal roots, or anything similar. The freedom generated by this acceptance operates through negativity; is an effect of the rejection of the very core of metaphysical philosophy and Christian culture, traditionally opposed to our animal' nature and seemingly detached from it.With a foreword by Slavoj Žižek, this book is accessible, jargon-free and ideal for students and all those interested in re-imagining how we engage with animals and the environment.Trade Review[A] unique and extensive historical analysis of various conceptions of the animal and animality in Western thought … Timofeeva’s scholarship is impressive ... [The] book is thought provoking and an excellent resource for those interested in the place of the animal and animality in Western thought. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. * CHOICE *Oxana Timofeeva's The History of Animals is an original and sweeping treatment of the "animal question". While philosophers have always made distinctions between human beings and animals, Timofeeva imagines a world free of such walls and borders. * Anthony Paul Smith, Assistant Professor of Philosophical Theology, La Salle University, USA *If philosophy is the love of wisdom, then Oxana Timofeeva’s The History of Animals is a work of philosophy as the love for animals. Refusing to simply condemn philosophy for its mistreatment of animals, this book reconstructs how philosophers from Aristotle to Deleuze might be read to restore the philosophical dignity of animals. The History of Animals teaches us, us humans, to join with all the ‘revolutionary animals’ to win a new world. -- Benjamin Noys, Professor of Critical Theory, University of Chichester, UKThis is a tour de force of originality and scholarship. Neither affirming the ethical or metaphysical equivalence of animals with humans, nor restoring an essential divide, her powerful genealogy of the animal in modern thought destroys any sense of purity or simplicity. What has come to be known as ‘the human’ has configured itself through a series of impossible relations to species that are at one and the same time enigmatic, proximate, anthropomorphized, alien and companionable. This book is a must read for anyone working in posthumanism or animal studies. -- Claire Colebrook, Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English, Philosophy, and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Pennsylvania State University, USATable of Contentspreface acknowledgements Foreword by Slavoj Žižek 1.
