    The Sex Radicals (2022)
    University Press of Kansas
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This volume provides the first account of the pioneering efforts at sex reform in America from the Gilded Age to the Progressive era. Despite the atmosphere of extreme prudery and the existence of the Comstock laws after the Civil War, a group of radicals emerged to attack conventional beliefs about sex, from traditional marriage to women’s chattel status in society. These men and women had in common a direct, unrespectable, iconoclastic style. They put forth outrageous journalism and had a penchant for martyrdom and for using the courts to publicize their ideologies.From rare and generally unknown sources, Hal D. Sears pieced together the story of the sex radicals and their surprising ideas. Moses Harman, a minister turned abolitionist and freethinker, is a central figure in the narrative. His Lucifer, the Light Bearer, the only journal of sexual liberty published from the early 1880s to 1907, was dedicated to free love, sex education, women’s rights, and related causes. To a great degree Harman’s publication defines the limits of social dissent in the late nineteenth century.Other members of the sex radical circle included E. B. Foote, a medical doctor who made a fortune with a home medical book crammed with sex information; Edwin Walker and Lillian Harman, who became a cause célèbre among radicals when their jailhouse honeymoon in Kansas challenged the right of the state to regulate marriage; Elmina Slenker, who promoted a theory of sexual energy sublimation and the idea that women were the superior sex; and Lois Waisbrooker, Dora Forster, Lillie White, and other feminists who, almost a century ago, taught and preached the very ideas we hear today in the women’s movement.Of course, all these people got into trouble with the law, mostly through the machinations of their archvillain, Anthony Comstock. Sears examines Comstock’s powers of postal censorship and describes Comstock’s personal vendettas against sexual dissenters, particularly the free love philosopher Ezra Heywood. He gives a legal history of obscenity and explains the sex radicals’ significance in the emergence of obscenity law.Although the sex radicals attest the important reform vitality of provincial culture in late nineteenthcentury America, until now they have been almost ignored by historians. Those who have studied sex radicalism at all, apart from its communitarian and sectarian aspects, have viewed it merely as a subsidiary of the more respectable feminist movement. In this book Sears gives careful consideration to the links between sex radicalism and spiritualism, feminism, anticlericalism, anarchism, and the freethought movement. He presents sex radicalism as a separate and unique movement which illuminates new reaches of the Victorian landscape and establishes a tradition for presentday liberation trends.

    Araucania-Norpatagonia III (2022)
    Editorial UNRN
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This third volume of Argentine-Chilean binational studies continues and deepens the inquiries about the construction of social meanings in the territory called Araucanía-Norpatagonia. Again, the starting point is the plurality of a territory of diffuse and artificial limits, a plurality that is evidenced in the dialogue, the different perspectives of approach, the polysemy and the tensions behind concepts and representations observed through a particular epistemological gaze and necessary for a territory of late integration such as that of the Chilean-Argentine Patagonia. In this case, the book is organized in three axes. The first, "Disputed territorial constructions", includes works that analyze, from different disciplinary points of view, the tensions that run through the production of meanings about the territory. The second is "Neoliberalism and commodification of nature" and brings together studies that focus on the different forms and open scenarios of dispute for the appropriation of land, water and biodiversity within the framework of the historical cycle that began with the conservative reaction of the late 1970s. Finally, the third axis "New approaches to thinking about a binational territory" contains articles that, also from different perspectives and problems, share the concern to carry out conceptual and methodological reflections to contribute to drawing future studies from a binational perspective.

    The Sources of Anti-Slavery Constitutionalism in America, 1760-1848 (2022)
    Cornell University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This ambitious book examines the constitutional and legal doctrines of the antislavery movement from the eve of the American Revolution to the Wilmot Proviso and the 1848 national elections. Relating political activity to constitutional thought, William M. Wiecek surveys the antislavery societies, the ideas of their individual members, and the actions of those opposed to slavery and its expansion into the territories. He shows that the idea of constitutionalism has popular origins and was not the exclusive creation of a caste of lawyers. In offering a sophisticated examination of both sides of the argument about slavery, he not only discusses court cases and statutes, but also considers a broad range of "extrajudicial" thought—political speeches and pamphlets, legislative debates and arguments.

    Description: El estudio comienza en 1929, fecha en que termina la rebelion cristera y se abre en un periodo de "reacomodo social de la Iglesia" y de fortalecimiento del Estado, y culmina en el año de 1940, cuando sube a la presidencia de la república Manuel Ávila Camacho y se declara públicamente creyente, iniciandose así una nueva etapa en las relaciones entre estas dos fuerzas sociales. Aunque la autora se limíte a estudiar las relaciones de la parte urbana de la arquidiósecis de México con el gobierno en el distrito federal, dejando de lado la diosesis en provincia, ahí el enfrentamiento entre la iglesia y el Estado que desbordó los límites de la capital del país y tuvo amplias repercuciones a nivel nacional

    Para mexicanizar el segundo imperio (2022)
    El Colegio de México
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Tradicionalmente, la historiografía ha retratado al Segundo Imperio como un accidente que a México le vino de fuera. El periodo durante el cual gobernó al Archiduque rubio y barbado ha sido interpretado como ajeno, como un paréntesis en el desarrollo histórico nacional, producto exclusivamente de las ambiciones del emperador de los franceses y del Habsburgo segundón. El Imperio se pinta como una aventura espuria en la que a excepción de unos cuantos conservadores despechados, los mexicanos tuvieron muy poco que ver: antes bien el país entero olvidó sus antiguas disensiones para seguir las banderas de Patria y República que empuñaba Benito Juárez. Sin embargo, esta página romántica de la Historia Patria cuadra mal con la realidad de un régimen que si bien es cierto fue impuesto por las bayonetas francesa, también fue deseado, organizado y administrado por mexicanos. ¿Quiénes fueron estos? ¿Por qué colaboraron con el usurpador, adhiriéndose a un proyecto político que a posteriori parece absurdo? Al intentar dar respuesta a estas preguntas, esta obra intenta revalorar el episodio imperial como parte integral de la historia mexicana.

    The Johnson Years, Volume Two (2022)
    University Press of Kansas
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Stretching from November 1963 to January 1969, the administration of Lyndon Baines Johnson was marked both by division and tumult and by significant accomplishments. In this volume, Robert Divine has brought together seven senior scholars who, in new essays, explore aspects of domestic and foreign policy during the Johnson years. This collection is a sequel to Divine’s earlier volume (originally published as Exploring the Johnson Years).The seven essays that compose Volume Two, together with Divine’s incisive and perceptive historiographical overview, offer new insights into Johnson’s complex character and leadership style. The LBJ that emerges from these pages is a very human figure who understands the corrosive, pervasive impact of the Vietnam War on his administration and who struggles to try to preserve the domestic programs he fought so long and hard to achieve.In exploring the antiwar movement, tax and foreign economic policies, environmental and health care questions, and the space program, these essays demonstrate how domestic issues were critically affected by the Vietnam War and provide a fuller understanding of Johnson’s vital but flawed legacy to the nation.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: What are the origins and nature of terror and terrorism in the United States and beyond? This book of essays about the history and contemporary reality of terror reveals little-known aspects of a compelling subject. Since the American and French Revolutions, governments and their opponents have used terror and terrorism for different political reasons. We learn how terror and terrorism have marked the evolution of social values and have entered into cultural expression of all types - literature, music, television, cinema - and have influenced the formation of ideologies and political institutions. The authors of the introduction and eighteen chapters comprising Terror and Its Representations show how a sensitive subject can be treated with conviction while maintaining the critical distance necessary for serious debate.

    Lucius Polk Brown and Progressive Food and Drug Control (2022)
    University Press of Kansas
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Lucius Polk Brown was a professional chemist who became a bureaucrat in the field of public health during the Progressive era, when middleclass reformers first attempted to order American society through integrated systems. In his native state of Tennessee, between 1908 and 1915 Brown created a public health enforcement agency, began educating the masses to public health needs, waged flamboyant campaigns against those who violated the laws, and attracted widespread support for pure food and drug control. Moving on to become director of the Bureau of Food and Drugs in the New York City Department of Health in 1915, he continued his battle for public health reform amidst the maze of government agencies and political power struggles surrounding Tammany Hall.In Many respects Brown was typical of Progressive reformers. A middleclass, AngloSaxon Protestant and a professional, he represented a link between the nineteenthcentury agrarian and the twentiethcentury urbanite. More importantly, Brown exemplified a new character on the American scene: a scientist out of the agriculturalexperimentstation mold entering public life, ready to challenge politicians on their own ground.This book contains fresh insights on the history of the public health movement in America, one area of reform that has not received the attention it deserves. Except for incidental references, the major figures of food and drug regulation at the local level have been largely ignored by historians. Lucius Polk Brown’s quest for pure food and drugs is representative of what municipal and state officials, as scientific people, encountered when they fought for the passage of new laws, struggled to enforce existing ones, and battled with the politicians, quacks, ignorance that threatened their efforts.Brown’s diversified career provides a unique opportunity for studying a scientific reformer caught up in the political turmoil of the Progressive era. His experience in government service spanned twelve years and touched on two dissimilar political systems. In focusing on Brown’s struggles, achievements, and failures, Margaret Ripley Wolfe provides a comparative study of state and municipal health administrations, of bureaucratic development in a rural southern state and a northern metropolis. For that reason this book should be of interest to political scientists and public health officials as well as to social historians and students of the Progressive era.

    Empire of Sand (2022)
    University of Arizona Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: From the earliest days of their empire in the New World, the Spanish sought to gain control of the native peoples and lands of what is now Sonora. While missionaries were successful in pacifying many Indians, the Seris—independent groups of hunter-gatherers who lived on the desert shores and islands of the Gulf of California—steadfastly defied Spanish efforts to subjugate them. Empire of Sand is a documentary history of Spanish attempts to convert, control, and ultimately annihilate the Seris. These papers of religious, military, and government officials attest to the Seris’ resilience in the face of numerous Spanish attempts to conquer them and remove them from their lands. The documents include early observations of the Seris by Jesuit missionaries, descriptions of the collapse of the Seri mission system in 1748, accounts of the invasion of Tiburón Island in 1750 and the Sonora Expedition of 1767–71, and reports of late eighteenth-century Seri hostilities. Thomas E. Sheridan’s introduction puts the documents in perspective, while his notes objectively clarify their significance. By skillfully weaving the documents into a coherent narrative of Spanish–Seri interaction, he has produced a compelling account of empire and resistance that speaks to anthropologists, historians, and all readers who take heart in stories of resistance to oppression.

    La industrialización mexicana durante la Gran Depresión (2022)
    El Colegio de México
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Como parte del interés que la década de los años treinta ha suscitado recientemente entre los estudiosos de toda América, este libro ofrece una visión general de la economía y la industria mexicana en uno de los periodos más inexplorados de nuestra historia. Uno de los principales temas que se tratan en esta obra es el conjunto de repercusiones que acarreó la Gran Depresión estadunidense sobre las economías latinoamericanas. En particular, se muestra que al tiempo que cayeron las exportaciones de México, se dinamizaron los mercados internos y se sentaron así las bases para la acumulación de capital productivo en el país. Sin embargo, al no existir políticas macroeconómicas claramente definidas por parte de los gobiernos posrevolucionarios, el crecimiento industrial fue en gran medida desordenado y produjo efectos nocivos a largo plazo en el entero ámbito económico. Así, aunque este libro aborda sobre todo el periodo que va de fines de los años veinte a 1940, presenta un modelo que permite comprender de una forma novedosa la situación de la economía mexicana prevaleciente en la actualidad.

    Description: Originally published in 1978. Millions of immigrants seeking a better life came to New York City in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Ronald H. Bayor's study details how the relative tranquility among the city's four major ethnic groups was disturbed by economic depression, political divisions arising out of ties with the Old Country, and factional strife stirred up by local politicians seeking ethnic votes. Also evaluated are the effects of such emotional and political issues such as Nazism and Fascism upon the allegiances of Germans and Italians; the rift in the ethnic community caused by the communist scare; and the influence of such figures such as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Father Charles Coughlin, and Fiorello La Guardia.

    Progressives at War (2022)
    Johns Hopkins University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Craig's study of McAdoo and Baker illuminates the aspirations and struggles of two prominent southern Democrats.In this dual biography, Douglas B. Craig examines the careers of two prominent American public figures, Newton Diehl Baker and William Gibbs McAdoo, whose lives spanned the era between the Civil War and World War II.Both Baker and McAdoo migrated from the South to northern industrial cities and took up professions that had nothing to do with staple-crop agriculture. Both eventually became cabinet officers in the presidential administration of another southerner with personal memories of defeat and Reconstruction: Woodrow Wilson. A Georgian who practiced law and led railroad tunnel construction efforts in New York City, McAdoo served as treasury secretary at a time when Congress passed an income tax, established the Federal Reserve System, and funded the American and Allied war efforts in World War I. Born in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, Baker won election as mayor of Cleveland in the early twentieth century and then, as Wilson's secretary of war, supervised the dramatic build-up of the U.S. military when the country entered the Great War in Europe.This is the first full biography of McAdoo and the first since 1961 of Baker. Craig points out similarities and differences in their backgrounds, political activities, professional careers, and family lives.Craig's approach in Progressives at War illuminates the shared struggles, lofty ambitions, and sometimes conflicted interactions of these figures. Their experiences and perspectives on public and private affairs (as insiders who nonetheless were, in some sense, outsiders) make their lives, work, and thought especially interesting. Baker and McAdoo, in league with Wilson, offer Craig the opportunity to deliver a fresh and insightful study of the period, its major issues, and some of its leading figures.

    The Idea of the American South, 1920-1941 (2022)
    Johns Hopkins University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Originally published in 1979. The idea of the "South" has its roots in Romanticism and American culture of the nineteenth century. This study by Michael O'Brien analyzes how the idea of a unique Southern consciousness endured into the twentieth century and how it affected the lives of prominent white Southern intellectuals. Individual chapters treat Howard Odum, John Donald Wade, John Crowe Ransom, Allen Tate, Frank Owsley, and Donald Davidson. The chapters trace each man's growing need for the idea of the South—how each defined it and how far each was able to sustain the idea as an element of social analysis. The Idea of the American South moves the debate over Southern identity from speculative essays about the "central theme" of Southern history and, by implication, past the restricted perception that race relations are a sufficient key to understanding the history of Southern identity.

    Description: Las obras recientes acerca del periodo de Cárdenas ya rara vez se ocupan de la comprensión de los hombres y de la relación de los hechos, por preocuparse demasiado de la definición de ese periodo y de su ubicación dentro de las revoluciones del siglo XX. Ésta es una excepción a tan plausible práctica científica; es un relato y no una interpretación.

    Marix und die Bildtapete La prise de la smala d’Abd el-Kader (2022)
    Éditions de la Maison des sciences de l’homme
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Ausgehend von einem regionalen denkmalpflegerischen Auftrag, der Freilegung einer verdeckten Bildtapete aus der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts im Herrenhaus Ludwigsburg in Schleswig-Holstein, entdeckt die Autorin einen völlig unerwarteten, sich zunehmend als bedeutsam herausstellenden kulturellen Bezug zwischen dem abgeschiedenen Herrenhaus und der damaligen Weltmetropole der Kunst, Paris. Die freigelegte Tapete erweist sich als eine Umsetzung des Versailler Gemäldes La prise de la smala d’Abd el-Kader von Horace Vernet, das ein Geschehen aktueller Kolonialgeschichte Frankreichs in Algerien zum Thema hat. In akribischer Recherche verfolgt Moya Tönnies die Herkunft und Persönlichkeiten der damaligen Bewohner des Herrenhauses, um der Entscheidung für diesen ungewöhnlichen Wandschmuck auf die Spur zu kommen. Im Zentrum steht die Schlossherrin Joséphine von Ahlefeld, genannt Marix, und ihre enge Verbindung mit den wichtigsten Literaten ihrer Zeit in Paris. Als ein Glücksfall ist es zu betrachten, dass ein Text von Théophile Gautier ans Licht kam, der den Besuch des Schriftstellers auf Gut Ludwigsburg als Station auf einer längeren Reise schildert. Dieser Text ist dem Buch als Anhang beigefügt.

    Description: Confesar y comulgar, cuando menos una vez al año por Pascua Florida, era el deber más visible y, por tanto, más exigible en el orden eclesiástico de la sociedad novohispana. Durante la cuaresma, el cura debía cerciorarse de que sus feligreses en uso de razón (mayores de 10 años) habían cumplido con el precepto pascual. Recorría el territorio de su parroquia exigiendo, casa por casa, la "cédula de confesión", que acreditaba la salud del alma. Siguiendo a los curas del Sagrario de la Catedral Metropolitana, la autora estudia padrones de confesión de los años 1670 a 1825.

    Violencia contra las mujeres en contextos urbanos y rurales (2022)
    El Colegio de México
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: La violencia contra las mujeres es una realidad, presente con intensidades y formas variadas, en los diferentes contextos socioculturales de nuestro país. Ese es el tema central de este volumen, que reúne artículos derivados de investigaciones originales en torno al fenómeno. El primer eje temático se refiere a los crímenes de odio que desde hace más de un decenio han dejado una huella indeleble en Ciudad Juárez. En un segundo apartado se incluyen dos textos sobre el maltrato a las mujeres embarazadas y la atención que reciben en los espacios de salud. Posteriormente se aborda la violencia en contextos rurales desde dos ángulos específicos: la perspectiva de la medicina tradicional y la experiencia migratoria transnacional. La violencia tiene muchas aristas y cada experiencia concreta se redefine por múltiples factores. A veces el maltrato se torna difícil de describir e incluso de identificar y aun las víctimas pueden tardar años en nombrarlo como tal y actuar en consecuencia. El maltrato psicológico y la agresión sexual, principalmente si esta última es sufrida en la infancia, se ubican en este rubro. Ese es el cuarto eje temático del volumen. Finalmente, se analiza la relación derecho y violencia, tanto desde una perspectiva teórica como con énfasis en la interacción de la norma escrita y la costumbre jurídica. El último apartado del libro está destinado al análisis de la lucha contra la violencia, desde los primeros esfuerzos por romper un silencio arcaico hasta la conquista de un espacio en las agendas públicas.

    La Palette du ciel. Art baroque ibéro-américain (XVIe-XVIIIe siècles) (2022)
    EPURE, Éditions et presses universitaires de Reims
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: A conqueror does not only use the power of weapons and techniques. He also imports and imposes a system of norms, beliefs and forms of artistic expression in order to establish a political project that he considers legitimate. Situated on the edge of cultural and art history, this study aims to open up new perspectives on artistic creation during the Baroque period in Latin America. Lorsqu’un conquérant conscient de sa supériorité colonise un territoire, il ne se sert pas seulement de la puissance des armes et des techniques. Il importe et impose aussi un système de normes, de croyances et des formes d’expression artistique pour asseoir un projet politique qui lui semble d’entrée de jeu légitime. Située aux confins de l’histoire culturelle et de l’histoire des arts, cette étude s’efforce d’ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives sur la création artistique à l’époque baroque dans une Amérique Latine en voie de colonisation par les Européens, en analysant plus particulièrement le contexte d’apparition du syncrétisme religieux. À partir de l’étude minutieuse d’une sélection d’œuvres produites entre le xvie et le xviiie siècle dans la région andine (Pérou, Bolivie, Colombie, Équateur) et au Mexique, dans des domaines aussi divers que la gravure, la peinture, la sculpture ou encore l’architecture, il s’agit de montrer comment l’art du colonisateur intervient comme une instance productrice de normes et de jugements de valeur dans l’espace ibéro-­américain indigène. Dans l’Amérique coloniale, le syncrétisme dont témoigne l’art des premiers « créoles », autrement dit l’assimilation de nouveaux codes et leur amalgame avec le substrat culturel existant, encourage la négation de l’ancienne culture tout en procédant au recyclage d’anciens codes pour donner naissance à des croyances et des formes artistiques nouvelles, un métissage dont les conséquences, à la fois positives et négatives, se manifestent jusque de nos jours.

    The Cowboy Legend (2022)
    University of Calgary Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The cowboy, as perhaps no other figure, has captured the imagination of North Americans for over a century. Before Owen Wister's publication of The Virginian in 1902, the image of the cowboy was essentially that of the dime novel - a rough, violent, one-dimensional drifter, or the stage cowboy variety found in Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West show. Wister's novel was to transform, almost overnight, this image of the cowboy. Soon after its publication, Wister sent a copy, inscribed "To the hero from the author," to Everett Johnson, a cowboy from Virginia who had been a friend of Wister's in Wyoming in the 1880s. Johnson had migrated to Alberta by the 1890s, eventually settling in the Calgary area. Before his death in 1946, his daughter-in-law, Jean Johnson, transcribed Everett's stories of the old west and collected them into a manuscript, now on deposit in the Glenbow Archives. In The Cowboy Legend, John Jennings, building on Jean Johnson's work, details the evidence that Everett Johnson was the initial and prime inspiration for Wister's cowboy, and in the process shows that Johnson led a fascinating life in his own right. His memories of both the Wyoming and Alberta cattle frontiers provide insight into ranch life on both sides of the border, and the compelling parallel biographies of Johnson and Wister feature vignettes of legendary period figures such as Buffalo Bill Cody, Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp, and Butch Cassidy, not to mention the best man at Johnson's wedding, Henry Longabaugh, a.k.a. the Sundance Kid. With an impressive range of scholarship and archival research, Jennings melds this realistic study of the cowboy frontier with an intriguing account of Wister's subsequent creation of the cowboy mystique, aided by two close friends and perhaps somewhat unexpected collaborators, Frederic Remington and Theodore Roosevelt. As compulsively readable as it is informative, this unique contribution to western history and literature will be welcomed by fans and scholars alike.

    Dictators and Autocrats (2022)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In order to truly understand the emergence, endurance, and legacy of autocracy, this volume of engaging essays explores how autocratic power is acquired, exercised, and transferred or abruptly ended through the careers and politics of influential figures in more than 20 countries and six regions. The book looks at both traditional "hard" dictators, such as Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, and more modern "soft" or populist autocrats, who are in the process of transforming once fully democratic countries into autocratic states, including Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey, Brazilian leader Jair Bolsonaro, Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines, Narendra Modi in India, and Viktor Orbán in Hungary. The authors touch on a wide range of autocratic and dictatorial figures in the past and present, including present-day autocrats, such as Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, military leaders, and democratic leaders with authoritarian aspirations. They analyze the transition of selected autocrats from democratic or benign semi-democratic systems to harsher forms of autocracy, with either quite disastrous or more successful outcomes. An ideal reader for students and scholars, as well as the general public, interested in international affairs, leadership studies, contemporary history and politics, global studies, security studies, economics, psychology, and behavioral studies.

    On Turner's Trail (2022)
    University Press of Kansas
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Should Frederick Jackson Turner be revered as “the father of western history” or reviled as a misguided advocate of a frontier spirit and rugged individualism that denied cultural diversity and produced widespread environmental destruction? Dividing into campus over the issue, western historians place him everywhere from one end of the spectrum to the other.In this provocative new interpretation of Turner’s life, work, and legacy, Wilbur Jacobs challenges the views of traditionalists and views of traditionalists and revisionists alike. From extensive research in the Turner archives, a nationwide search for additional Turner correspondence, interviews with historians, and a lifetime of collecting Turner anecdotes, Jacobs chronicles Turner’s professional (and sometimes personal) bequest through 100 years of Western historical writing.Jacobs adds his voice to the heated debate by mixing a sophisticated critique of historical writing with stories of professional intrigue—the fights to protect Turner’s legacy, limit access to the Turner archives, and control the Western history Association. He traces the intellectual development of Turner’s frontier theory; explores the intense rivalry between two major Turnerian disciples, Frederick Merk and Ray A. Billington, as they vied for control of Turner’s legacy; and analyzes the efforts of new western historians who seek to erase Turner and Billington from the landscape of what is now called the history of the “West.”Balanced in his assessments, Jacobs treats Turner and his disciples with a sympathetic yet critical eye. He points out Turner’s limitations in dealing with environmental, racialethnic, and urban themes as well as the shortcomings of Merk, Billington, and other Turnerians. At the same time, however, Jacobs illuminates the major contributions of their work.Despite their intense differences, Jacobs argues, all western historians remain inextricably linked by Turner’s legacy.

Por lo mismo, nos ha parecido relevante significar esta conmemoracion abordando un tema que hunde sus raices en el propio campo de estudios aludido. En efecto, mucho se ha escrito sobre el Tratado de 1904, tanto en Chile como en Bolivia, de ahí que ya vemos una sérié de estudios recientes que han ido aclarando ese proceso. El présente libro, por eso mismo, no trata del acuerdo en sí, sino de su relevancia como hito de un cambio decisivo en la trayectoria de Chile como vence- dor de la Guerra del Pacífico, hasta 1929.

    Description: Inserto en las preocupaciones de larga duración, este libro reconstruye, de forma sugerente y ágil, la importancia del sistema religioso y la experiencia cotidiana de la religiosidad en la reproducción del consenso cultural que distinguió a la Nueva España a lo largo de los siglos XVI y XVII. Desde una perspectiva de análisis renovadora, superadora de visiones rígidas y monolíticas, el presente volumen aborda el estudio de la sociedad novohispana haciendo hincapié en la importancia de los procesos de negociación, claves para la comprensión del funcionamiento y equilibrio presentes en dicha realidad histórica. Este libro nos acerca a la comprensión del proceso de cristianización y occidentalización de la conciencia individual y la forma en que dicha conciencia guió las conductas y comportamientos cotidianos de la población novohispana, problema histórico estudiado combinando el rigor metodológico con la apuesta por una reconstrucción que, lejos de miradas unívocas y estáticas, privilegia la complejidad y los cuestionamientos.

    Fortress of the Soul (2022)
    Johns Hopkins University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: French Huguenots made enormous contributions to the life and culture of colonial New York during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Huguenot craftsmen were the city's most successful artisans, turning out unrivaled works of furniture which were distinguished by unique designs and arcane details. More than just decorative flourishes, however, the visual language employed by Huguenot artisans reflected a distinct belief system shaped during the religious wars of sixteenth-century France.In Fortress of the Soul, historian Neil Kamil traces the Huguenots' journey to New York from the Aunis-Saintonge region of southwestern France. There, in the sixteenth century, artisans had created a subterranean culture of clandestine workshops and meeting places inspired by the teachings of Bernard Palissy, a potter, alchemist, and philosopher who rejected the communal, militaristic ideology of the Huguenot majority which was centered in the walled city of La Rochelle. Palissy and his followers instead embraced a more fluid, portable, and discrete religious identity that encouraged members to practice their beliefs in secret while living safely—even prospering—as artisans in hostile communities. And when these artisans first fled France for England and Holland, then left Europe for America, they carried with them both their skills and their doctrine of artisanal security.Drawing on significant archival research and fresh interpretations of Huguenot material culture, Kamil offers an exhaustive and sophisticated study of the complex worldview of the Huguenot community. From the function of sacred violence and alchemy in the visual language of Huguenot artisans, to the impact among Protestants everywhere of the destruction of La Rochelle in 1628, to the ways in which New York's Huguenots interacted with each other and with other communities of religious dissenters and refugees, Fortress of the Soul brilliantly places American colonial history and material life firmly within the larger context of the early modern Atlantic world.

    Description: Award for Best Research in the Field of Record Labels or Manufacturers from the Association for Recorded Sound CollectionsWinner of the Kenneth W. Baldridge Prize from the Phi Alpha Theta Honor Society, Hawaii Region Between the late nineteenth and mid-twentieth century, technology transformed the entertainment industry as much as it did such heavy industries as coal and steel. Among those most directly affected were musicians, who had to adapt to successive inventions and refinements in audio technology—from wax cylinders and gramophones to radio and sound films. In this groundbreaking study, James P. Kraft explores the intersection of sound technology, corporate power, and artistic labor during this disruptive period.Kraft begins in the late nineteenth century's "golden age" of musicians, when demand for skilled instrumentalists often exceeded supply, analyzing the conflicts in concert halls, nightclubs, recording studios, radio stations, and Hollywood studios as musicians began to compete not only against their local counterparts but also against highly skilled workers in national "entertainment factories." Kraft offers an illuminating case study in the impact of technology on industry and society—and a provocative chapter in the cultural history of America.

    Secret Affairs (2022)
    Johns Hopkins University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Originally published in 1995. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was paralyzed from the waist down, but he concealed the extent of his disability from a public that was never permitted to see him in a wheelchair. FDR's Secretary of State was old and frail, debilitated by a highly contagious and usually fatal disease that was as closely guarded a state secret as his wife's Jewish ancestry. The undersecretary was a pompous and aloof man who married three times but, when intoxicated, preferred sex with railroad porters, shoeshine boys, and cabdrivers. These three legendary figures—Franklin Roosevelt, Cordell Hull, and Sumner Welles—not only concealed such secrets for more than a decade but did so while directing United States foreign policy during some of the most perilous events in the nation's history. Irwin Gellman brings to light startling new information about the intrigues, deceptions, and behind-the-scenes power struggles that influenced America's role in World War II and left their mark on world events, for good or ill, in the half-century that followed. Gellman had unprecedented access to previously unavailable documents, including Hull's confidential medical records, unpublished manuscripts of Drew Pearson and R. Walton Moore, and Sumner Welles's FBI file. Gellman concludes that while Roosevelt, Hull, and Welles usually agreed on foreign policy matters, the events that molded each man's character remained a mystery to the others. Their failure to cope with their secret affairs—to subordinate their personal concerns to the higher good of the nation—eventually destroyed much of what they hoped would be their legacy. Roosevelt never explained his objectives to his vice president, Harry Truman, or to anyone else. Hull never groomed a successor, and Welles kept his foreign assignations as classified as his sexual orientation. Gellman tells the dramatic story of how three Americans—despite private demons and bitter animosities—could work together to lead their nation to victory against fascism.

    Este tren no está destinado a la gloria (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: The book “este tren no está destinado a la gloria” (this train is not destined for glory) revolves around the metaphor of literary ferro-landscapes. Conceived as narrative nodes created around the mobility of human and material capital by train, and at the same time interdependent of the economies that move such capital, this book approaches the literary representation of the railway world in narratives located in the Panama Canal Zone, through the Central American banana enclaves and follows the migrant caravan that crosses Mexico on La Bestia (The Beast). Ravasio reveals in her study a dialectic of in/mobilities where literary ferro-landscapes narratologically correlate spatial displacement with social immobility, exposing the exiles of modernity in their inglorious journey through the Americas.

    The American as Anarchist (2022)
    Johns Hopkins University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Originally published in 1978. When compared with socialist and communist systems in other nations, the impact of radicalism on American society seems almost nonexistent. David DeLeon challenges this position, however, by presenting a historical and theoretical perspective for understanding the scope and significance of dissent in America. From Anne Hutchinson in colonial New England to the New Left of the 1960s, DeLeon underscores a tradition of radical protest that has endured in American history—a tradition of native anarchism that is fundamentally different from the radicalism of Europe, the Soviet Union, or nations of the Third World. DeLeon shows that a profound resistance to authority lies at the very heart of the American value system.The first part of the book examines how Protestant belief, capitalism, and even the American landscape itself contributed to the unique character of American dissent. DeLeon then looks at the actions and ideologies of all major forms of American radicalism, both individualists and communitarians, from laissez-faire liberals to anarcho-capitalists, from advocates of community control to syndicalists. In the book's final part, DeLeon argues against measuring the American experience by the standards of communism and other political systems. Instead he contends that American culture is far more radical than that of any socialist state and the implications of American radicalism are far more revolutionary than forms of Marxism-Leninism.

    The Impact of the Holocaust in America (2022)
    Purdue University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The contributions to this volume consider topics such as the immigrant experience in coming to America after the trauma of the Holocaust; how the Shoah has shaped more recent interpretation of the Hebrew Bible; the role that survivors have fulfilled in educating American youth not only about the Holocaust itself, but also about how values - especially in regard to tolerance - can and must be shaped by eye-witness testimony on the Shoah; the impact of Holocaust in film, especially in "third-generation" cinema; the issues and difficulties of presenting the Shoah in children's literature; the dialogue between Christians and Jews, especially in America, and how that dialogue has been constructively influenced and shaped by the Holocaust; the way in which Jewish business activities have altered in the post-World War II environment and in the aftermath of the Holocaust and how the lessons of the Shoah have facilitated the change from nationalist to global economy; how the image and awareness of the Holocaust developed in the American media. For all the range that these articles encompass, throughout them all runs a common theme: that the Holocaust has indelibly marked almost every aspect of American culture. We cannot think of America, American ideals and values, America's role in the world today and the future of America in an increasingly dangerous world, without recognizing that the Shoah casts a long shadow across all these concerns and serves as one of the primary points of horrific historical reference by which we, as Americans, must measure ourselves.

    The Currency of Empire (2022)
    Cornell University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In The Currency of Empire, Jonathan Barth explores the intersection of money and power in the early years of North American history, and he shows how the control of money informed English imperial action overseas.The export-oriented mercantile economy promoted by the English Crown, Barth argues, directed the plan for colonization, the regulation of colonial commerce, and the politics of empire. The imperial project required an orderly flow of gold and silver, and thus England's colonial regime required stringent monetary regulation. As Barth shows, money was also a flash point for resistance; many colonists acutely resented their subordinate economic station, desiring for their local economies a robust, secure, and uniform money supply. This placed them immediately at odds with the mercantilist laws of the empire and precipitated an imperial crisis in the 1670s, a full century before the Declaration of Independence.The Currency of Empire examines what were a series of explosive political conflicts in the seventeenth century and demonstrates how the struggle over monetary policy prefigured the patriot reaction to the Stamp Act and so-called Intolerable Acts on the eve of American independence.Thanks to generous funding from the Arizona State University and George Mason University, the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access (OA) volumes from Cornell Open (cornellopen.org) and other Open Access repositories.

La Paz nos señaló el orden preformativo de las identidades y de la subjetividad. Ella misma pasa por su cuerpo desde lo homosexual al machismo. Por lo tanto, queda en una zona intermedia, en un entre permanente. Es ambos a la vez. Entonces, si continuábamos adheridos a la polaridad femenino/masculino, hombre/mujer, creyendo que el género corresponde a la diferenciación de unidades discretas, lo que ella nos decía no tenía sentido alguno. Lo que hicimos fue ponernos ?entre?, y entender al género como una línea, cuyos costados son trazados desde dentro: se está en este campo indeterminado, se está entre, y luego se dirime, por decirlo así, hombre y mujer, masculino y femenino.

Sin embargo, y por encima del caso, logra poner en el centro del debate los alcances del poder, los singulares medios que algunos líderes han empleado para inspirar y asegurarse lealtad, y alto grado de madurez que efectivamente algunos grupos han alcanzado, en lo individual y lo grupal, para competir por el poder sin destruirse.

    Daniel Webster and Jacksonian Democracy (2022)
    Johns Hopkins University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Originally published in 1973. Professor Nathans illuminates the changes wrought by Jacksonian democracy on the career of Daniel Webster, a major political figure, and on the destiny of a major political party, the Whigs. Daniel Webster was a creative anachronism in the Jacksonian era. His career illustrates the fate of a generation of American politicians, reared to rule in a traditional world of defined social classes where gentlemen led and the masses followed. With extensive research into primary sources, Nathans interprets Webster as a leader in the older political tradition, hostile to permanent organized political parties and fearful of social strife that party conflict seemed to promote. He focuses on Webster's response to the rise of entrenchment of voter-oriented partisan politics. He analyzes Webster's struggle to survive, comprehend, and finally manipulate the new politics during his early opposition to Jackson; his roles in the Bank War and the nullification crisis; and the contest for leadership within the Whig Party from 1828 to 1844. Webster and the Whigs resisted and then belatedly attempted to answer the demands of the new egalitarian mass politics. When Webster failed as an apologist for government by the elite, he became a rhapsodist of American commercial enterprise. Seeking a new power base, he adapted his public style to the standards of simplicity and humility that the voters seemed to reward. Nathans shows, however, that Webster developed a realistic vision of the common bonds of Jacksonian society—of the basis for community—that would warrant anew the trust needed for the kind of leadership he offered. The meaning of Webster's career lies in these attempts to bridge the old and new politics, but his attempt was doomed to ironic and revealing failure. Nathans studies Webster's impact on the Whig party, showing that his influence was strong enough to thwart the ambitions of his rivals Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun but not strong enough to achieve his own aspirations. Nathans argues that Webster, through his efforts to increase his authority within the party, merely revealed his true weakness as a sectional leader. His successful blocking of Clay and Calhoun brought about a deadlock that significantly hastened the transfer of power to men more committed to strong party organization and more talented at voter manipulation. Webster's dilemma was the crisis of an entire political generation reared for a traditional world and forced to function in a modern one.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: En 1821, au lendemain de la proclamation d’Indépendance du Pérou, San Martín déclarait que ceux que l’on appelait « Indiens » à l’époque coloniale espagnole ne devaient plus être désignés que comme « Péruviens » car ils devenaient citoyens au même titre que les Blancs et les métis. Quelques décennies plus tard, la guerre du Pacifique (1879-1883), véritable désastre pour le Pérou, fut cependant interprétée comme la preuve de l’échec de l’intégration nationale, générant de nouveaux débats sur la place des Indiens dans la société péruvienne. Cet ouvrage analyse la façon dont furent perçues les populations autochtones andines par les élites créoles entre 1821 et 1879, période charnière, et pourtant peu connue, entre la pensée coloniale et les courants indigénistes de la fin du xixe et du début du xxe siècle. Il propose une histoire culturelle des représentations à partir de la législation, des discours politiques, de la presse, de divers essais, d’œuvres littéraires et de l’iconographie. Ces sources révèlent toute l’ambiguïté de ces discours et visent à mieux comprendre les fondements de la nation péruvienne encore aujourd’hui.

    Description: En mayo de 1994, México se convirtió en el miembro número 25 de la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE). Este acontecimiento fue sumamente controvertido tanto en el seno de la organización como al interior de nuestro país. La OCDE no había aceptado el ingreso de otros candidatos por más de veinte años y había concentrado sus actividades solamente entre sus miembros tradicionales. Asimismo, México se sumaba a lo que hasta entonces se consideraba como un "club exclusivo" que integraba a los países capitalistas más desarrollados del planeta ¿Cómo se desenvolvió el inicio de la participación de México en la OCDE y en qué momento ambos actores internacionales se hicieron convergentes? ¿De qué manera fue posible que una organización hermética, y que hallaba su identidad en una tajante división del mundo según los niveles de desarrollo de cada Estado, aceptase la membresía de un país de menor desarrollo relativo? ¿Bajo qué restricciones México se alineó a los objetivos y valores de la OCDE y qué consecuencias se fueron derivando de lo anterior? Finalmente, ¿cuáles han sido a lo largo del tiempo los costos y beneficios reales de la participación de un país como México en una organización como la OCDE, así como la posición e influencia que cada uno ha manejado con respecto al otro? La autora responde a estas preguntas a partir de una evaluación sobre la incidencia que de 1994 a 2002 ambos actores tuvieron tanto hacia su contraparte como hacia el contexto internacional en su conjunto.

    Description: Moulagen - plastische Krankheitsdarstellungen - waren wichtige Dokumentations- und Lehrobjekte der Medizin. Die Moulagenbildner*innen galten in der Medizingeschichte oft als skurrile Außenseiter*innen, deren Arbeit von alchemistisch anmutender Geheimnistuerei umgeben war. Henrik Eßler widmet sich erstmals der Berufsgeschichte dieser unterschätzten Spezialist*innen. Dabei stellt er einerseits die Bedeutung der Moulage heraus, die weit über eine »naturgetreue« Nachbildung hinausging. Andererseits rückt er die Stellung der Moulagenbildner*innen im wissenschaftlichen Arbeitsprozess in ein neues Licht: Sie waren nicht nur ausführendes Organ, sondern Kooperationspartner*innen im Forschungszusammenhang.

    Comunidades indígenas frente a la ciudad de México (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: La igualdad consagrada en las constituciones políticas que han regido en México, desde la española de 1812 hasta la mexicana de 1917, idealizó e impuso un estilo de vida sobre realidades sociales que nuestra historiografía suele ignorar. Los barrios indígenas de la ciudad de México y sus pueblos aledaños sufrieron el embate de esas exigencias, pero de ese hecho y de la resistencia que ofrecieron poco o nada se dice públicamente. De ello se ocupa el presente estudio al recorrer la vida de comunidades -algunas desaparecidas ya, otras al límite de su existencia- que guardan memoria de una historia propia. La historia de la ciudad de México no puede limitarse al registro de la expansión de la mancha urbana. Tal es lo que este libro -elaborado sobre testimonios de primera mano- nos recuerda al hablar de los barrios y pueblos de indígenas que formaron las parcialidades de San Juan Tenochtitlan y Santiago Tlatelolco.

    Competitividad de las ciudades en México (2022)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: En la era de la globalización, la palabra competitividad es cada vez más utilizada para referirse no sólo al desempeño de las empresas, sino también al comportamiento económico de países, regiones y ciudades. La de una empresa se define en función de su actuación comercial y su habilidad para obtener utilidades que se traducen en reinversión. La competitividad de un país está en función del desempeño microeconómico de sus unidades productivas, de la instrumentación de políticas públicas para promover el crecimiento económico, y de la existencia y evolución de las ventajas territoriales y distributivas que ofrecen las ciudades para el desarrollo de las actividades económicas. Las ciudades, por su parte, compiten entre sí por atracción de inversiones para la creación de empleos y generación de ingresos. La competitividad que registran las unidades económicas de cualquier territorio resulta del aprovechamiento de una serie de factores locacionales dinámicos que se denominan ventajas competitivas. En este libro se ofrecen elementos para avanzar en el conocimiento sobre la economía urbana en México y en especial el desempeño de sus principales ciudades en un periodo caracterizado por la implementación de una política neoliberal y sustentada en la apertura comercial.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The first national parks in Latin America were established in Argentina, among them the Nahuel Huapi, the Iguazu Falls or the Perito Moreno Glacier. These natural reserves are established in a transnational entangled space where ideas, imaginations, people, biota and artefacts circulate. The idea of Argentinian national parks has been influenced by various approaches, ranging from the US-American parking policy to the French landscape architecture and the Prussian sustainable forestry to international debates about nature conservation. While national parks are now considered a haven of wilderness, the contemporary interpretation in the first half of the 20th century has been more open. The notion has prevailed in Argentina to perceive national parks as “genuine instruments of colonisation”. Agricultural colonization and displacement of indigenous people, comprehensive programmes for urbanization and touristification of the landscape as well as biological colonisation through salmons, deer, and Douglas firs form an integral part of the Argentinian parking policy. Thus, the connection between nature conservation and colonisation will be examined in this book by asking the following question: How do national parks work?

Tanto la vigencia como la herencia dejada por el testimonio son el eje de los estudios que aquí se reúnen, para explorar sobre todo los modos y las formas que asume la transmisión de la memoria cuarenta años después del fin de la dictadura cívico-militar en la Argentina. Los resultados de este proceso de investigación, que es a la vez profunda reflexión y posicionamiento, se presentan en este libro a través de un recorrido que abarca tanto la escritura de testimonios directos y la narrativa de los Hijos, como las prácticas testimoniales y de denuncia realizadas a través de recursos cinematográficos, artísticos y museales. La experiencia traumática se narra también a partir de la primera persona en los cuatro dosieres que cierran el volumen, en que los testigos (Mario Villani, Marco Bechis, Alicia Kozameh, Nora Strejilevich) siguen entregándonos sus palabras y visiones en formatos variados, desde sus propios textos a las entrevistas y las imágenes.

    Class and Community in Frontier Colorado (2022)
    University Press of Kansas
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Spurred by the Gold Rush of 1859, settlers of diverse backgrounds and nationalities trekked to Colorado and began building towns. Existing accounts of their struggles and those of townbuilders throughout the American West focus on boomorbust economics, rampant boosterism, and bitter social conflicts. This, according to sociologist Richard Hogan, is not the whole story.In Class and Community in Frontier Colorado Hogan offers a fresh perspective on the frontier townbuilding experience. He argues that townbuilding in Colorado was not, as some have suggested, monopolized by local boosters or national business interests. It was, instead, a complex, dynamic process that reflected competition, cooperation, and conflict among various socioeconomic classes, and between local and national business interests as well.Hogan shows how farmers, ranchers, miners, tradesmen, merchants, bankers, entrepreneurs, land speculators, and eastern investors all vied for control in six of Colorado’s emerging urban centers: Denver, Central City, Greeley, Golden, Pueblo, and Canon City. Meticulously he traces the conflicts and coalitions that arose in and among these groups.By combining historical sociology with local history, Hogan’s study challenges current thinking about economic development, class structure and conflict, political partisanship, collective action, and social change in the American West.

    The Enduring Indians of Kansas (2022)
    University Press of Kansas
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The Cherokees’ “Trail of Tears” and the forced migration of other Southern tribes during the 1830s and 1840s were the most notorious consequences of Andrew Jackson’s Indian removal policy. Less well known is the fact that many tribes of the Old Northwest territory were also forced to surrender their lands and move west of the Mississippi River.By 1850, upwards of 10,000 displaced Indians had been settled “permanently” along the wooded streams and rivers of eastern Kansas. Twenty years later only a few hundred—mostly Kickapoos, Potawatomis, Chippewas, Munsees, Iowas, Foxes, and Sacs—remained.Joseph Herring’s The Enduring Indians of Kansas recounts the struggle of these determined survivors. For them, the “end of Indian Kansas” was unacceptable, and they stayed on the lands that they had been promised were theirs forever.Offering a good counterpoint to Craig Miner’s and William Unrau’s The End of Indian Kansas, Herring shows the reader a shifting set of native perspectives and strategies. He argues that it was by acculturation on their own terms—by walking the fine line between their traditional ways and those of the whites—that these Indians managed to survive, to retain their land, and to resist the hostile intrusions of the white world. The story of their epic struggle to survive will place a new set of names in the pantheon of American Indian heroes.

    Southern Politics and the Second Reconstruction (2022)
    Johns Hopkins University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Originally published in 1975. This is a history of southern political life since the New Deal and World War II, encompassing a crucial epoch: an attempted Second Reconstruction of the South. The authors focus on the electoral response to candidates and issues. The authors contend that, despite the nationalizing and homogenizing forces that eroded much of the South's distinctiveness during the postwar years, the region's historical legacy perpetuated its distinctive patterns of cultural and political life. Further, the authors contend that despite the virtual destruction of the South's four inherited institutions of political sectionalism during the years of the Second Reconstruction—disenfranchisement, malapportionment, a one-party system, and de jure racial segregation—the new southern politics maintained a deep racial division that has militated against class coalitions, especially across racial lines, and has permitted government by relatively insulated elites.

    Description: Spurred by a new wave of protests around the world - from the Occupy movement, Black Lives Matter, the Arab Spring, and the various street marches against neoliberal governments throughout Latin America - Raussert examines how artistic practices in the Americas have challenged the control of public space in relation to gender, race, sexuality, class, and age in three periods (the 1920s and 1930s, the 1960s and 1970s, and the new millennium). This inter-American perspective sheds light on common utopian aspirations across time and space, as in the networked movements of indigenous, African-descended and the diasporic groups, epitomized by the Zapatista slogan: “Mientras los medios de comunicación sigan mintiendo, las paredes seguirán hablando” (As long as the media continues to lie, the walls will continue to talk). Indeed, this must-read book shows how contesting artists subvert the increasing privatization, consumerization and electronic monitoring of public space and its virtualization in the new media in our own time period. | George Yúdice (Professor of Latin American Studies and Modern Literature at the University of Miami, U.S.A.)

    El partido socialista de Chile en dictadura (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: This text focuses on the PS during the 17 years of dictatorship that followed the coup that violently ended the Popular Unity government. The Pinochet regime subjected the PS to the traumatic task of recomposing itself in the midst of extreme repression, clandestinity, the exile diaspora and the intense debate around the causes of the defeat, the alternatives of the anti-dictatorial struggle and the possibilities and paths of a socialist project in Chile. The period is long and contains both continuities and deep transformations in Chilean socialism, which we have arranged, for analytical purposes, in three moments or cycles. Each cycle is characterized by being centered on certain debates and conditioning factors that determine the partisan dynamics of the organic socialists. The very historical development of each cycle implies its overcoming and the passage to another cycle with different distinctive characteristics.

    Description: Este libro examina las ideas que forman parte del pensa­miento político, económico y filosófico latinoamericano que se convirtieron en referencia para el MIR chileno. Se describe y problematiza la relación que existía entre los científicos sociales latinoamericanos y la organización revolucionaria, diferenciando entre quienes cumplían un rol de referentes y quienes eran militantes del MIR. Para esto, se analizan las redes intelectuales que permitían la difusión del pensamiento a nivel general en América Latina, así como los lazos que habían establecido los intelectuales miristas con sus símiles latinoamericanos. A la par, se definen los roles que cumplían en la organización dichos intelectuales, así como la existencia de una política del MIR sobre este sujeto específico. En términos más amplios, interesa saber de qué manera el pensamiento social latinoamericano aportó a la definición del MIR y cómo la organización revolucionaria aportó, a su vez, al pensamiento político local.

    Paris, New-York : des migrants italiens (2022)
    CNRS Éditions
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Villes-lumières, capitales du monde, Paris et New York ont accueilli, de la fin du XIXe siècle à la veille de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, des centaines de milliers d’Italiens venus se faire les forçats de l’industrialisation triomphante. Aux marges des métropoles, les quartiers ouvriers de La Villette et d’East Harlem ont vu s’épanouir puis se dissoudre des territoires italiens, au gré de l’odyssée de cet « Ulysse collectif » que fut l’Italie à l’ère industrielle. De cette vague migratoire sans précédent sont nées des images multiples, du musicien des rues au maçon inégalable, de la couturière à domicile au journaliste antifasciste. Au-delà de ces figures, l’appropriation de l’espace local, les inerties et les innovations affectant les structures familiales et le monde du travail, les modes de sociabilité ou encore les combats politiques constituent autant de prismes d’observation des migrants dans leurs espaces d’accueil. L’opposition, devenue classique, entre le « modèle » d’intégration français universaliste et le « modèle » américain aux rapports sociaux nécessairement ethnicisés, est ici réinterrogée : la comparaison met en lumière les dissemblances fondamentales en termes de contexte migratoire, de rythmes d’urbanisation et d’évolution du marché du travail, mais également les nombreuses analogies dans les processus d’insertion et d’acculturation à l’œuvre à Paris et à New York. Puisant dans les archives françaises, italiennes et américaines, ce livre nous donne à voir l’histoire du corps à corps entre les hommes et les lieux qu’ils ont investis. Dans une époque marquée au fer du nomadisme international, l’histoire de cette migration, désormais close, est un outil précieux pour comprendre l’un des phénomènes clés du monde contemporain.

    Paths of Duty (2022)
    University of Hawai'i Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Twenty-three-year-old Laura Fish Judd left rural Massachusetts in 1827 for the Hawaiian islands, one of eighty young American women who enlisted in the effort to Christianize the islands between 1819 and 1850. Only a month before, after receiving a marriage proposal from a young physician in need of a wife to qualify for mission service, she had written in her diary: "'The die is cast.' I have in the strength of the Lord, consented Rebecca-like--I WILL GO, yes, I will leave friends, native land, everything for Jesus." Laura Judd and other ambitious young women consented to hasty marriages with virtual strangers to achieve their goal of carrying Christ's message to the heathen. As Patricia Grimshaw's compelling study makes clear, these women were driven by a desire for important, independent life-work that went well beyond their expected roles as dutiful wives.The ambitions, hopes, and fears of those eighty pioneer women make a poignant and fascinating story. But Paths of Duty does more than recount the experiences of a group of individuals. Grimshaw shows how the mission women reflected the larger society of which they were part, and through their story shed new light on the role of American Protestant mission in Hawaii. Although the women's public role in mission work was limited, they were highly influential in their daily and seemingly mundane interactions with Hawaiian women. The American women's ethnocentricity made them quite incapable of appreciating Hawaiian culture on its own terms, but their notions of proper femininity and female behavior were effectively transmitted to Hawaiian girls and women. Paths of Duty provides a deeper understanding of this neglected process of acculturation in the islands and its eventual implications for Hawaii's entry into the American sphere of influence.

    Description: El 25 y 26 de septiembre de 2013, El Colegio de México organizó, con el apoyo de la Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional, el coloquio "Origen y evolución del Ejército mexicano", con el objetivo de reflexionar y discutir sobre tan importante tema a propósito del primer centenario del nacimiento de la institución castrense mexicana, que data de febrero de 1913, cuando dio inicio la lucha contra el usurpador Victoriano Huerta. Con la participación de 14 académicos de diversas instituciones de educación superior, así como de la Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional, se abordó el tema desde distintas aristas: la fijación misma de la efeméride; los antecedentes del Ejército mexicano buscados tanto en el disuelto ejército del Antiguo Régimen como en las distintas fuerzas rebeldes, desde la lucha antireelecionista hasta el triunfo constitucionalista; la institucionalización castrense posrevolucionaria, y su papel político y social en el México del siglo XX, sin faltar la reflexión sobre los retos que enfrenta al iniciar su segunda centuria de vida. Estos análisis y opiniones se plasman ahora en este libro. Jornadas 163

    Description: Serie integrada por nueve tomos, el lector dispone del panorama más completo de la historia de las relaciones de México con el mundo externo. Se trata de la crónica y análisis de la política internacional de nuestro país desde su constitución como nación independiente hasta nuestros días.

La estructura del presente volumen es de cuatro capítulos y unas breves conclusiones. En el primer capítulo se pretende ubicar el sitio que ocupaba México en el contexto internacional del último tercio del siglo XIX y principios del XX. A partir de esa evaluación se intenta definir cuáles podrían haber sido los objetivos que se propuso alcanzar el gobierno de Porfirio Díaz. Los otros tres capítulos se concentran en las regiones geográficas que tuvieron un interés prioritario para México en ese periodo.

    Le Nicaragua des sandinistes : un miroir de la transition démocratique espagnole (1978-1985) (2022)
    Éditions de l’IHEAL
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Dix ans après le viol et l’assassinat de Cassandre Bouvier et Houria Moumni en Argentine, le travail de recherche auquel Cassandre s’était longuement consacrée et qui était sur le point d’être achevé au moment de sa disparition est enfin publié aux Éditions de l’IHEAL. Ce livre est d’abord un hommage rendu par l’ensemble de notre communauté universitaire à l’une des siennes, un ouvrage dont la production fut ponctuée d’interrogations, de doutes et de tentatives avortées tant chaque relecture rendait plus cruelle encore l’absence de son auteure. Mais il s’agit aussi d’une recherche au sens propre du terme. Cassandre travaillait sur la réception de la révolution sandiniste de 1979 dans la presse espagnole, sur les échos que les événements nicaraguayens ont renvoyés dans une Espagne en pleine transition démocratique, encore meurtrie par le souvenir de la guerre civile de 1936-1939 et des années du franquisme. Histoire politique, histoire des représentations, histoire des relations internationales et des circulations transatlantiques : autant de perspectives chères au corps enseignant de l’IHEAL dans lesquelles Cassandre s’était plongée à bras-le-corps et qui alimentent le fil de ces pages. S’il est resté inachevé, ce mémoire n’en est pas moins le témoin de la vivacité d’esprit et de la maturité intellectuelle d’une des étudiantes les plus prometteuses de sa promotion, ainsi que des doutes inhérents à la recherche en train de se faire.

    Résilience des images et des récits (2022)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Depuis les périodes de terrorisme d’État jusqu’à celles des « transitions » démocratiques, cet ouvrage met en évidence des spécificités esthétiques des récits et des images entrant en résonance avec la notion de catastrophe, à partir d’une étude comparative entre trois pays : l’Argentine, le Chili et le Mexique. Il distingue les récits et les images de la catastrophe – en lien avec la forme testimoniale, nés des différentes expériences issues du terrorisme d’État et affrontant des impossibilités représentatives propres aux images et aux récits de l’horreur – et les récits et les images catastrophistes – liés au succès de la fiction allégorique, issus d’une volonté de repoétisation de la mémoire et rejouant des logiques eschatologiques qu’elles soient pessimistes, réflexives ou consolatoires. Parler de résilience à la catastrophe signifie qu’au-delà de la résistance identitaire des individus et politique des collectifs, les œuvres étudiées font preuve d’une puissance d’invention capable de s’adapter aux circonstances changeantes de l’histoire et de la mémoire, et de transformer, en retour et pour l’avenir, ces identités individuelles et ces politiques collectives.

    El hombre que lo podía todo, todo, todo (2022)
    El Colegio de México
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Hoy que la alternancia política en la presidencia de la República es un hecho consumado en México, la antigua imagen del soberano todopoderoso se ha derrumbado y en su lugar ha quedado un poder en ruinas, soberano si acaso en su languidez; la omnipotencia presidencial, en efecto, devino en impotencia. Hay quienes atribuyen ese giro al soplo de los nuevos aires políticos, a las circunstancias políticas actuales -reglas electorales inéditas, partidos políticos vigorosos, medios de comunicación sin mordazas- que forzaron a la presidencia a abandonar su esencia "absolutista". Pero esa no es mas que una parte de la explicación. Otra tiene que ver con el desvanecimiento del mito presidencial. En este libro el presidente es un actor, poderoso ciertamente, pero uno entre otros; y la política es decidida por todos y no sólo por el Gran Sultán Priista.

    Donde no habite el olvido (2022)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: La violación de las más elementales reglas de la democracia y del estado de derecho, la tortura, la desaparición, el asesinato y las violaciones de género fueron prácticas corrientes de la historia de América Latina que vivió dictaduras cívico-militares en los años 70. Las transiciones políticas de los años 80-90 promovieron reformas institucionales para reforzar la democracia recuperada y procesos de justicia transicional en nombre de la verdad, memoria, justicia y reparación, las cuales se han tomado como modelo para el reciente proceso de paz en Colombia. El presente volumen recoge ensayos de estudiosos italianos y extranjeros que reconstruyen desde perpectivas socio-jurídicas estos procesos. Las formas de testimonio que se perfilan son obras diferentes de las de ‘literatura testimonial’ en el sentido estricto del término, porque surgen de las aulas judiciales y de los informes de las comisiones de verdad, y se imponen como verdades respaldadas por la actuación de la jurisprudencia, que las defiende de los asaltos del olvido y de la impunidad.

    The Papers of Thomas A. Edison (2022)
    Johns Hopkins University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The fifth volume of The Papers of Thomas A. Edison covers Edison's invention and development of the first commercial incandescent electric light and power system. In the process he turned his famed Menlo Park laboratory into the first true research and development facility. This also enabled him to develop a new telephone for the British market in the midst of his herculean efforts on electric lighting.In the face of daunting technical challenges and skepticism from leading scientists and engineers, Edison and his team of experimenters and machinists found the solution to the decades-old problem of creating a practical incandescent lamp. By focusing on the characteristics of the entire system Edison reconceptualized the requirements of a successful lamp design. While rivals worked primarily on lamps, Edison developed other parts of a complete system as well. This approach was most notable in his revolutionary work on generator technology, one of the highlights of this volume. Successful exhibitions of the system in December 1879 drew crowds to Menlo Park to witness the softly glowing lamps. These spectacles gratified his financial backers but Edison realized the importance of following experimental demonstrations with the hard work of commercial development. He needed to make each component work effectively in daily use and to improve the designs so that they were easy to use and inexpensive to manufacture. To create a daytime market for electricity he also developed electric motors for a variety of uses, including electric railways, for which he built a small demonstration line at Menlo Park. To accomplish all this Edison greatly enlarged his staff to as many as sixty experimenters, machinists, carpenters, and office workers. He began manufacturing lamps at a factory in Menlo Park. At the end of 1880, Edison was ready to move his system into commercial production and made plans to produce other components in New York. He also invited New York officials to a demonstration in order to win their approval for running underground lines in lower Manhattan where he planned to put his first commercial central station. In March 1881, he moved to the Edison Electric Light Company's headquarters on Fifth Avenue and began the hard work of introducing the new electric light and power technology.
