Book SynopsisCommendation, the Colvin Prize 2023 (Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain)Reconstruction explores the impact of the First World War on the built environment examining the immediate and longer term aftermath of the Great War on the architecture of Britain and the British Empire during the interwar years.While much attention has been paid by historians to post-war architectural reconstruction after 1945, the earlier developments of the interwar period (1919-1939) have been comparatively overlooked. Filling an important gap in surveys of 20th-century British architecture, this volume reveals how the architectural developments of this period not only provided important foundations for what happened after 1945 they are also of real significance in their own right.Sixteen essays bring together new and diverse approaches to the period a period of reconstruction, fraught with the challenges of modernity and democratisation.

Book SynopsisThe pivotal era of Reconstruction has inspired an outstanding historical literature over the decades from W.E.B. DuBois'' Black Reconstruction in America in 1935 through Eric Foner''s Reconstruction in 1988. The resolution of long-running interpretive debates has shifted the issues at stake in Reconstruction scholarship, but the topic has remained a vital venue for original exploration of the regional and national history of the United States. In Reconstructions: New Perspectives on the Postbellum United States, eight rising historians survey the latest generation of scholarly work and point to promising directions for future research, from cultural and gender history to Western history, legal history, and diplomatic history. Offering an expansive approach to the chronological definition of the postwar era, this volume is an essential read on this crucial period in American history.Trade ReviewThis is a detailed, thorough, and exciting new survey of the discipline. The modestly sized volume pack eight dense essays that deliver intense, concentrated, and provocative reviews of the state of the field.... Everyone working in the field should consult this important book. * Richard Zuczek, Civil War Book Review *Whether historians continue to expand the definition of Reconstruction, this volume will be essential reading for those who wish either an introduction or a refresher course. * Jane Turner Censer, American Historical Review *In a series of topical essays, the authors make it clear that the field is not only alive and well but extraordinarily innovative. From now on, Reconstruction studies must begin here. * George M. Frederickson, author of Racism: A Short History *These are superb essays, original, thoughtful, and intellectually exciting.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Reconstruction Updated Edition
Book SynopsisTrade Review"This is history written on a grand scale, a masterful treatment of one of the most complex periods of American history." — New Republic “The [book’s] rewards stem from Foner’s deep understanding of the literature of the period and his ability to draw freely from it, so that his arguments sprout in deep soil; and from his disciplined imagination, which neither approves nor condemns, but characterizes, and at its best dramatizes situations, preserving and savoring their possibilities, so that the betrayal of Reconstruction with a terrible poignancy.” — Theodore Rosengarten, The Nation "With this book, Mr. Foner becomes the preeminent historian of Reconstruction." — New York Times Book Review "[Reconstruction] may very well turn out to be this generation's defining interpretation of this most misunderstood passage in the nation's history." — Wall Street Journal "A remarkable clarity is one of the many beauties of this book that dwells on so many conflicts and ambiguities . . . Foner's Reconstruction is a smart book of enormous strengths." — Boston Globe “Eric Foner has put together this terrible story with greater cogency and power, I believe, than has been brought to the subject heretofore.” — New York Review of Books “Foner’s book traces in rich detail the bitter course of the history of the South’s failure to adjust to the revolution that brought the Civil War. Only by tracing that history and understanding can the region fully disenthrall itself even today. No book could be more timely. ” — Atlanta Constitution “Foner’s book brings to distinguished fruition one great cycle of Reconstruction historiography.” — New York Review of Books

Oxford University Press Inc A Long Reconstruction
Book SynopsisAfter slavery was abolished, how far would white America go toward including African Americans as full participants in the country''s institutions? Conventional historical timelines mark the end of Reconstruction in the year 1877, but the Methodist Episcopal Church continued to wrestle with issues of racial inclusion for decades after political support for racial reform had receded. An 1844 schism over slavery split Methodism into northern and southern branches, but Union victory in the Civil War provided the northern Methodists with the opportunity to send missionaries and teachers into the territory that had been occupied by the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. To a remarkable degree, the M.E. Church succeeded in appealing to freed slaves and white Unionists and thereby built up a biracial membership far surpassing that of any other Protestant denomination. A Long Reconstruction details the denomination''s journey with unification and justice. African Americans who joined did so inTrade ReviewDeeply researched and clearly written, Harris traces the hopes for African Americans in the Methodist Episcopal Church after the Civil War (including at the time about one in five black Methodists). The author traces the story of the hopes for creating an interracial movement and eventually a reconciliation with the MEC, South, to (later) the realization that racial justice and racial reconciliation would be at odds. The story is a vital but relatively little-known one, and Harris's book should stand as the standard account. * Paul Harvey, Department of History, University of Colorado *A Long Reconstruction explicates the largely untold story of African Americans within the Methodist Episcopal Church and in doing so, pushes us to rethink what we mean by the term "Black Church." Gracefully written and exhaustively researched, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in race and religion in the United. * Christopher Cameron, Professor of History, University of North Carolina at Charlotte States. *In A Long Reconstruction, Harris relates the relationship between African Americans and the MEC over nine chapters. * Scott M.Anderson, Proceedings of the Wesley Historical Society *A Long Reconstruction is a daring work that revisits the complexities of the Reconstruction era, as it exposes the complicated methodologies Black people were forced to utilize in order to benefit their communities. * Aaron M.

Small Beer Press Reconstruction: Stories
Book SynopsisIn Reconstruction, award-winning writer and musician Johnson delineates the lives of those trodden underfoot by the powerful, and how they rise up. Meet the humans who serve a coterie of vampires in Hawai’i, explore the taxonomy of anger with Black Union soldiers and the woman who travels with them during the American Civil War. Consider what you would give up for a better life in a place that you have never been. Johnson maps the people in these and other, stranger landscapes.Trade Review“The first story in this collection, the Nebula award-winning ‘A Guide to the Fruits of Hawai’i,’ opens in a prison where vampire conquerors imprison humans to feast upon. Key is a human caretaker doing what she can to survive in a world where hope and integrity are seemingly impossible. This theme of resilience in inhumane conditions continues throughout the collection. In the title story ‘Reconstruction’ — one of two stories original to the collection — Sally uses her grandmother’s spells to help protect a Black Civil War regiment while meditating on anger. These ten immersive stories embrace multiple speculative genres and take place in worlds both real and unreal. Much like Lovecraft Country, the stories combine horror and fantastical elements with anti-racist themes.” — Margaret Kingsbury, Buzzfeed “Johnson pulls from folklore, myth, and scientific discovery to create rich stories of complicated relationships and love amidst strange, uncanny circumstances. While the worlds are themselves fascinating, the true success of Johnson’s stories lies in the careful crafting of their vibrant emotional cores.” — Booklist “Johnson breaks down genre boundaries, combining elements of fantasy, mystery, science fiction, and horror, in settings ranging from the historical and familiar to the wildly imaginative. Unified by Johnson’s sensuous prose, these stories will delight existing fans and serve as an excellent introduction for those new to Johnson’s work.”— Publishers Weekly Praise for Alaya Dawn Johnson’s books: “Juju assassins, alternate history, a gritty New York crime story...in a word: Awesome.” — N.K. Jemisin, author of The Fifth Season "Great, fresh audacity." — Entertainment Weekly “Like leaping into cold water on a hot day, this original dystopian novel takes the breath away, refreshes, challenges, and leaves the reader shivering but yearning for another plunge.” — Booklist, starred review “Compelling.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review "An art project, a rebellion and a sacrifice make up this nuanced, original cyberpunk adventure. . . . Luminous." — Kirkus Reviews, starred review “This book will steal your heart!” — Marika McCoola, Odyssey Bookshop, South Hadley, MA

Book SynopsisThis book tracks the development of biomedicine in South Korea following liberation from Japan in 1945, covering the transition from Japanese imperial models of practice to an approximation of American and international models of health.Trade Review"Reconstructing Bodies is a welcome addition to the growing scholarship on medicine and the body in East Asia. It is the first full-length monograph of Korea's post-1945 medical history in the English language and would appeal to readers with interests in Korea's political or medical history as well as interests in American medicine, reproductive politics, and the plastic surgery specialization. DiMoia draws from a rich variety of previously untapped sources, including oral histories, private papers, and archives from the U.S. military occupation and international aid organizations." -- Sonja M. Kim * Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences *"Reconstructing Bodies offers the best view to date of the intersection between South Korea's twentieth-century development and its medical transformation. Its far-ranging case studies of individual topics are important genealogical resources for those interested in contemporary South Korean (and indeed transnational) medicine and biopolitics." -- Robert Oppenheim, Associate Professor of Asian Studies and Anthropology * University of Texas at Austin *"Reconstructing Bodies is a pioneering work of scholarship at the intersection of East Asian history and the history of science and medicine. DiMoia negotiates both fields with great skill and acute insight, revealing that South Korea's 'economic miracle' was also a history of changing attitudes toward, and interventions on, the health and bodies of Koreans." -- Charles K. Armstrong * Columbia University *"Reconstructing Bodies breaks new ground in the history of public health, biomedicine, and surgery in modern South Korea. Illuminating case studies guide readers through major transformations in twentieth-century Korean history, including advancements in cardiac surgery, Asian Blepharoplasty, the shift from controlling epidemics to family planning, and biological sampling resistance during anti-parasitic campaigns." -- Marta Hanson * Johns Hopkins University *

University of Notre Dame Press Violence and Reconstruction
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to focus on the effects of violence in internal conflicts after peace agreements have been signed. Since the mid-1990s many peace processes, including those in Israel-Palestine, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Northern Ireland, have reverted to violence while seeking to implement formal peace agreements. In all these cases the persistence and forms of violence have been among the main determinants of the success or failure of the peace process. Violence and Reconstruction adopts a four-part analysis, examining in turn violence emanating from the state, from militants, from destabilized societies, and from the challenge of implementing a range of policies including demobilization, disarmament, and policing. Leading scholars explore in detail each of these aspects of postwar violence. Their findings draw attention to the increased willingness of the state to turn to militias to carry on violence by proxy; to the importance of distinguishing between the aims aTrade Review"Darby has edited a thoughtful book whose eight chapters form a coherent whole. It concerns violence which takes place after the implementation of a peace accord has started. . . . an erudite, coherent, crafted, thoughtful, and informative volume."—Journal of Peace Research"This well-organized and effective book could not be timelier. It sets out, and achieves, an ambitious program for itself." —Andrew Williams, University of Kent"This volume makes an original contribution to the field and will be read with great interest by scholars, graduate students, and the policy community. The contributors present an important set of arguments that engage the scholarly and policy-oriented debates about peace implementation and peacebuilding by teasing out the complex and sometimes counterintuitive relationships between violence and peace." —Terrence Lyons, Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, George Mason University
