Cambridge University Press Collective Killings in Rural China During the Cultural Revolution
Book SynopsisAlthough it was one of the monumental events, the Cultural Revolution remains one of the most understudied political mass movements. This book will reshape the scholarship on the Cultural Revolution, both because of its stark treatment of political violence and its focus on events in the Chinese countryside.Trade Review“This is a truly terrific book, and long overdue too, leaving behind the well-trodden ground of the Red Guards in Beijing to focus unflinchingly on the horror of mass killings in the countryside. Yang Su has written a model of rigorous scholarship that squarely places the Cultural Revolution where it should have been all along, in the area of genocide studies on a par with Rwanda, as villagers turned against villagers, slaughtering each other in the hundreds of thousands.” —Frank Dikotter, University of Hong Kong, author of Mao’s Great Famine“Theoretically, this book is the first attempt showing that the development of modern genocide is not only shaped by the ideologically charged nation state, but also by the local actors and structural forces in ways quite unintended by the state actors. Empirically, this book reminds us once again that the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) is one of the greatest tragedies of the modern world. It also turns our attention from the dynamics of the Cultural Revolution in China’s urban settings to the less known stories in rural areas. This book will be on our shelves as an outstanding work in the study of the Cultural Revolution and the politics of the Chinese communist regime, genocide study, and social movement research.” —Dingxin Zhao, The University of Chicago"Su tells a heart-rendering story and contributes new insights to the burgeoning academic literature on contentious politics and genocide." — Andrew J. Nathan, Foreign Affairs"Yang Su deserves great credit for uncovering the collective killings and for his penetrating analysis of their multiple causes"Jeremy Brown, Simon Fraser University, H-Net ReviewsTable of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press No Other Way Out
Book SynopsisNo Other Way Out provides a powerful explanation for the emergence of popular revolutionary movements during the Cold War era. By comparing more than a dozen countries in Southeast Asia, Central America, and Eastern Europe, Goodwin shows how revolutionaries were able to create opportunities for seizing state power.Trade Review'Jeff Goodwin's No Other Way Out is an outstanding contribution to the sociology of revolutions.

Cambridge University Press The Crisis in Kashmir
Book SynopsisThis book traces the origins of the insurgency in Indian-controlled Jammu and Kashmir. The first theoretically-grounded account, it is based on extensive interviews. Professor Ganguly's central argument is that the insurgency can be explained by political mobilisation and institutional decay.Trade Review'Scholarly discourse on Kashmir is mostly confined to two broad schools of thought: one favours the Indian-held Muslim majority province's goal of secession from India, while the other confronts the issue of secessionism and its legality, with the aim, very often, of providing support for the purpose of keeping Kashmir in the Indian federation. ≤umit Ganguly's Crisis in Kashmir is a welcome departure from the dual approach to the problem. … The core of the book is a balanced picture of the ongoing Kashmiri uprising since the late 1980s. What I found especially interesting is the chapter on strategies and Options for Resolving the Crisis. Ganguly's book is also noteworthy for the inclusion in the appendix of four important documents that have shaped the history of modern Kashmir.' Commonwealth and Comparative Politics'This volume represents social science at its best.' Foreign Affairs'The conflict in Kashmir … has precipitated two interstate wars and retains the potential to be the cause of another - this time between a nuclear-armed Pakistan and India. ≤umit Ganguly's brief study provides a dispassionate examination of the conflict.' Current History'Ganguly's book is a cool, controlled survey of Kashmir's recent political history, expressed in the vocabulary of political mobilization theory, followed by a review of feasible solutions.' The Times Higher Education Supplement'Essential for India specialists, political scientists, ethnicists, international theorists, and all levels of students, it can also be appreciated by general readers.' Choice'≤umit Ganguly has produced the fullest account yet of the causes and character of the Kashmir rebellion on the 1990s. Without dogma or predisposition, his analysis illuminates the sources and structure of a neglected, dangerous conflict.' Washington PostTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; Introduction; Maps; 1.

Cambridge University Press The Constitutional Origins of the American
Book SynopsisUsing the British Empire as a case study, this succinct study argues that the establishment of overseas settlements in America created a problem of constitutional organization. The failure to resolve the resulting tensions led to the thirteen continental colonies seceding from the empire in 1776.Trade Review'Who better than Jack Greene to bring us back to the unfinished business of explaining how conflicting understandings of British law paved the path to revolution? The Constitutional Origins of the American Revolution makes clear exactly how uncertainties about the authority of the Crown and Parliament pushed the colonists from conciliation to intransigence.' Joyce Appleby, University of California, Los Angeles'The fruit of half a century of research and reflection, Greene's masterly book restores legal pluralism and constitutional controversy to their proper place among the causes, course, and consequences of the American Revolution.' David Armitage, Harvard University'Jack P. Greene, one of the most gifted and prolific historians of our time, has given us a concise and incisive account of the constitutional origins of the American Revolution. It is a magnificent work of historical analysis - it should shape our understanding of the causes of the Revolution for decades to come.' Richard R. Beeman, University of Pennsylvania'In this book Jack P. Greene shows why he is the dean of the constitutional historians of the eighteenth-century British Empire: he presents us with the most incisive and deeply researched account of the constitutional origins of the American Revolution ever written.' Gordon S. Wood, Brown University'Beautifully executed, it provides a compelling distillation of arguments that Greene has long been developing about the Revolution … [he] has fashioned an invaluable and succinct guide to the constitutional interpretation of the Revolution, one that succeeds in offering a clear alternative to dominant historical interpretations of the period and in placing both law and imperial relations at the heart of the discussion - where they belong.'

Cambridge University Press Women Gender and Rebel Governance during Civil
Book SynopsisHow is rebel governance gendered, and how does women''s participation in rebellion affect the development and execution of governance programs? The author develops a framework for evaluating and explaining rebel governance''s gendered dynamics, identifying four areas where attention to women and to gender helps us better understand these institutions: recruitment and internal organization, program expansion, development of new projects, and multi-layered governance relationships. They explore the context and significance of these dynamics using cross-conflict data on rebel governance institutions and women''s participation as well as qualitative evidence from three diverse organizations. They suggest that it is not only the fact of women''s participation that matters but the gendered nature of social and political relationships that help explain how rebels govern during civil wars. They show how women''s involvement can shape governance content and implementation and how their participation may help rebel groups expand projects and engage with civilian communities.

Cambridge University Press June Fourth
Book SynopsisThe Tiananmen protests and Beijing massacre of 1989 were a major turning point in recent Chinese history. In this new analysis of 1989, Jeremy Brown tells the vivid stories of participants and victims, exploring the nationwide scope of the democracy movement and the brutal crackdown that crushed it. At each critical juncture in the spring of 1989, demonstrators and decision makers agonized over difficult choices and saw how events could have unfolded differently. The alternative paths that participants imagined confirm that bloodshed was neither inevitable nor necessary. Using a wide range of previously untapped sources and examining how ordinary citizens throughout China experienced the crackdown after the massacre, this ambitious social history sheds fresh light on events that continue to reverberate in China to this day.Trade Review'Brown's June Fourth challenges our understanding of the 1989 Tiananmen protests that continue to haunt China today in a vivid account, richly documented, well-told and thoughtfully analyzed. This will be the standard history of Tiananmen for a generation.' Timothy Cheek, author of The Intellectual in Modern Chinese History'In a vivid narrative spanning China of the 1980s to June 4th, 1989 and its aftermath, Jeremy Brown's restrained prose pricks at the conscience of a nation, so that we too ask 'what if' - a question as relevant today as then.' Denise Chong, author of Egg on Mao'Brown re-evaluates sources with a fresh critical eye, illuminates the lives of ordinary people, including minorities and people in the provinces, and shows not just what happened but what might have happened if certain human choices had been different.' Perry Link, author of Anatomy of Chinese: Rhythm, Metaphor, Politics'In a powerful and sometimes almost personal account of the 1989 protests, Brown retells the story of what happened in Beijing and elsewhere in China using perspectives often overlooked by scholars.' Lev Nachman, L.A. Review of Books'This lucid, thoughtful, and often riveting account by Jeremy Brown, a leading social historian of the People's Republic of China (PRC), revisits almost every dimension of the dramatic upheaval of 1989 and forces us to examine afresh what we thought we already knew.' Andrew G. Walder, Journal of Cold War Studies'Brown's book is of a critical underrepresented genre that I think will be of substantive use to many: a clear, nuanced, and comprehensive accounting of an event that so many of us teach but, because of the sheer amount of information and accounts that exist, don't always teach well.' Gina Anne Tam, Pacific Affairs'Brown skillfully assesses the turbulent June 1989 protests and massacre that occurred in Beijing through a historical rather than a political lens. … Recommended.' S. C. Hart, Choice'Brown's riveting writing takes readers to streets, provinces, and lives that bring the complexity and legacies of 1989 into sharper focus.'
