The Warmth of Other Suns is a bold, remarkable, and riveting work, a superb account of an “unrecognized immigration” within our own land. Through the breadth of its narrative, the beauty of the writing, the depth of its research, and the fullness of the people and lives portrayed herein, this book is a modern classic.

Book SynopsisA powerful and impassioned historical account of the largest successful revolt by enslaved people in history: the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1803“One of the seminal texts about the history of slavery and abolition.... Provocative and empowering.” —The New York Times Book ReviewThe Black Jacobins, by Trinidadian historian C. L. R. James, was the first major analysis of the uprising that began in the wake of the storming of the Bastille in France and became the model for liberation movements from Africa to Cuba. It is the story of the French colony of San Domingo, a place where the brutality of plantation owners toward enslaved people was horrifyingly severe. And it is the story of a charismatic and barely literate enslaved person named Toussaint L’Ouverture, who successfully led the Black people of San Domingo against successive invasions by overwhelming French, Spanish, and English forces—and in the proces

University Press of Kansas The American Counterculture A History of Hippies
Book SynopsisRestricted to the shorthand of ‘sex, drugs, and rock’n' roll’, the counterculture would seem to be a brief, vibrant stretch of the 1960s. But the American counterculture, as this book clearly demonstrates, was far more than a historical blip and its impact continues to resonate.Trade ReviewWith great clarity, precision, and impeccable documentation, Damon R. Bach has crafted an important corrective to the myths, stereotypes, and long-held misconceptions about the sixties counterculture. Impressive in its scope and depth, The American Counterculture offers a highly accessible account of a movement that encompassed both hippies and allied cultural dissidents, interacted with other social movements of the period, extended from the coasts to the heartland, inhabited both rural and urban spaces, and shifted its orientation from cultural change to engagement with a wide range of political concerns. Moving beyond monolithic, static accounts of 'hippies,' the book brings to life a movement that was continually evolving in response to other social and political currents, lasted well beyond the sixties, and left an indelible imprint on American society. Compelling and original, this book will no doubt attract the interest of scholars and students as well as the general public." —Gretchen Lemke-Santangelo, author of Daughters of Aquarius: Women of the Sixties Counterculture"The American Counterculture offers a sweeping synthesis of an important national story. With brisk pacing and a wide geographical reach, Damon Bach's book is especially valuable for its analysis of the relationship between cultural hippies and the New Left activists and the incontrovertible evidence it provides that the counterculture was not simply a bicoastal movement; it truly spread across the entire nation and made a lasting impact on American culture and politics. This is 'a trip' worth taking." —Sherry L. Smith, author of Hippies, Indians and the Fight for Red Power"The American Counterculture is like a wild road trip around the United States of the Long Sixties, with stops at familiar haunts like Haight-Ashbury and the Lower East Side as well as hidden hideaways like Portland’s Lair Hill Park, Lawrence’s Strawberry Fields head shop, and the offices of Atlanta’s Great Speckled Bird. Bach reminds us of how pervasive the counterculture became over its brief, brilliant run, and he brings a motley array of voices and sources to the project. This is an essential book for anyone wanting to understand the full scope of sixties-era youth culture." —Blake Slonecker, author of A New Dawn for the New Left: Liberation News Service, Montague Farm, and the Long Sixties"In 2017, at a conference on the 1967 Summer of Love, historians of the 1960s revisited San Francisco and lamented that no one had written the ‘big book’ on the counterculture, a book that takes readers beyond the clichÉs of sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll and examines the rise, development, demise, and legacies of the hippies. They wanted a book based on hippie documents that investigates the counterculture's relations with other movements of the 1960s, from the New Left to the antiwar movement to ecology to women’s liberation. Good news readers—this is it! Damon Bach’s American Counterculture: A History of Hippies and Cultural Dissidents is a tour de force that will become the go-to book that examines—and explains—the hippies." —Terry H. Anderson, author of The Movement and the Sixties: Protest in America from Greensboro to Wounded Knee

Lexington Books Africa in Europe
Book SynopsisAfrica in Europe, in two volumes, meticulously documents Europe''s African presence from antiquity to the present. It incorporates findings from areas of study as diverse as physical anthropology, linguistics, social history, social theory, international relations, migrational studies, and globalization. In contrast to most other works focusing on Eurafrican relationships that largely revolve around Atlantic and trans-Atlantic developments since the Age of Global Exploration, this work has a much broader perspective which takes account of human evolution, the history of religion, Judaic studies, Byzantine studies, the history of Islam, and Western intellectual history including social theory. While the issue of racism in its variant manifestations receives thorough treatment, African in Europe is also about human connections across fluid boundaries that are ancient as well as those that date to the Age of Exploration, the Age of Revolution, and continue until the present. Hence, it bTrade ReviewThe first such extensive overview drawn heavily from available scholarly literature, this interpretive textbook makes a very plausible case for reconsidering the anthropological and historical relationship between Africa and Europe within a framework that avoids preoccupation with race and color, rejects a division of Africa into Sub-Saharan and Northern, and discounts the Mediterranean as a significant boundary between the two continents. -- Allison Blakely, Boston UniversityTable of ContentsChapter 1 Foreword Chapter 2 Preface Chapter 3 Introduction: People Across Boundaries Chapter 4 1.

Polity Press Travel in Early Modern Europe
Book SynopsisMost of us today know little about the conditions under which people travelled in early modern Europe. Travellers' accounts from the period generally omit detailed descriptions of the state of roads, the discomfort of a carriage or a coach, or the harshness of a landscape, even though these formed the everyday reality of travel for most people.Trade Review'Rarely have I read a book as full of intriguing nuggets about the everyday life of the past and with as much potential to trigger engrossing flights of fancy as Travel in Early Modern Europe.' Literary Review 'His range shows through in the geographical reach of his text.' The Journal of Transport History 'A most welcome addition to the rapidly-growing English-language literature on the history of travel. It is not only scholarly and original, but readable and lively. It has itself the qualities of good travel books - apt quotations, picturesque detail, and a great deal of human interest.' Journal of Social History 'Maczak has marshalled the sources with magnificent erudition to provide a vivid and comprehensive account of the circumstances and attitudes that conditioned early modern travel ... Maczak makes fascinating use of multilingual phrasebooks for travellers ... a marvellous analysis of travellers and relics ... this is an important book of superb scholarship and sharp insight, which will be very welcome in English translation for early modern historians.'

Polity Press Internal Colonization Russias Imperial Experience
Book SynopsisThis book gives a radically new reading of Russia s cultural history. Alexander Etkind traces how the Russian Empire conquered foreign territories and domesticated its own heartlands, thereby colonizing many peoples, Russians included.Trade Review"Internal Colonization might be said to inject postcolonial theory into Russian studies. This, however, would be to understate the case. Russia, in Etkind's account, is no mere latecomer to the postcolonial feast: in so many ways, it got there first. Etkind has confirmed what Russianists have suspected for a while without quite being able to prove the point: that Russia's peculiarly vocal subalterns have at least as much to bring to 'Western' cultural theory as they stand to gain from it." Times Literary Supplement "The cumulative power of Etkind's argument constitutes an impressive scholarly achievement, offering a coherent yet richly detailed account of Russia's centuries-long experience of internal colonisation." Times Higher Education "A coherent and cogent, as well as an original and witty investigation … the text itself teems with intriguing Tristram Shandean excursions." Journal of European Studies "Etkind highlights what is at the core of the Russian Empire building process. Beyond objective specific facts [Etkind] goes deep into Russian history and culture to emphasize and explain the heuristic idea 'how to colonize oneself'." The Global Journal "A thought-provoking work of scholarship that will inspire both controversies and useful new approaches to Russian history and culture: to paraphrase Levi-Strauss, it is good to think with." The Russian Review "A gripping read. Etkind combines an energetic pace with a multitude of sources … Etkind has succeeded in presenting an entirely readable text that will appeal to anyone interested in Russian imperial history, Russian literature, or the literature and culture of a colonial and postcolonial society." Melbourne Historical Journal "A fresh and entertaining work that is beautifully written … Etkind persuasively demonstrates that post-Soviet postcolonial studies should shift their focus from chasing the unresolvable historical justice to pursuing original, creative and challenging research to support competennt discussion of the controversial issues." Ideology and Politics "Not only useful but also very enjoyable...It is safe to consider this as one of the best books of 2011 in its category and it will definitely have an impact on Russian studies for many years to come." Journal of Eurasian Studies "An exhaustingly original book, beautifully written and crafted so as to be eminently quotable. It will stand for decades to come as the central volume in the larger debates on empire." Nancy Condee, University of Pittsburgh "An erudite and incisive interpretation of Russian history and culture. Indeed, one of the great virtues of this book is its sweeping range, covering several centuries of history and culture. It is well-known that Russia was a great and expansive empire. Etkind provides a striking new lens for seeing Russian culture and history, one that stresses the enduring process of internal colonization. Beyond scholars of Russia, this book should appeal to those interested in questions of colonialism and post-colonialism and in issues of comparative empire." Peter Holquist, University of Pennsylvania "Combining literary and historiographical evidence, Alexander Etkind elucidates the processes of 'self-' or 'internal colonization' the Russian imperial state carried out in its heartland in tandem with colonizing practices deployed in its farthest corners. With wit and erudition, Internal Colonization provides an original and fascinating account of Orientalism's genealogies, the complexity of its global enactments, and the fantasia of its imperial, 'self-colonizing' logic on the newly-illuminated stage of the Second World."

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Short History of Migration
Book SynopsisTranslated by Carl Ipsen. This short book provides a succinct and masterly overview of the history of migration, from the earliest movements of human beings out of Africa into Asia and Europe to the present day, exploring along the way those factors that contribute to the successes and failures of migratory groups.Trade Review"This elegantly written book develops a compelling argument about the role of migrations in the history of mankind. An eminent historical demographer, Livi-Bacci is able to bring the demographic perspective to bear on the highly complex phenomenon of migration - whether in the context of Ancient times or in today’s context of globalization, where immigration has become a highly controversial and politicized issue. A compelling read for a general audience wishing to understand the 'migration problem' and its relevance for today’s public policy." Bruno Ramirez, Université de Montréal "The appearance of any book by demographic historian Massimo Livi-Bacci is cause for celebration and one on migration especially welcome. Migration, more than most issues, is best understood in the context of long-term patterns. This book, drawing on research in several languages, deftly puts the European experience of both emigration and immigration into long-term historical perspective, distilling six centuries into fewer than 100 pages."
