American Slavery on Film

Caron Knauer, LaGuardia Community College, USA

In this study of ten films that depict slavery in America, Caron Knauer analyzes how African American slavery has been and continues to be portrayed in major studio blockbusters and independent films alike. In her analysis of such films as the early silent film Uncle Tom's Cabin (1914), the groundbreaking television miniseries Roots (1977); and the Harriet Tubman biopic Harriet (2019), Knauer separates the romanticized and unrealistic depictions of slavery from the more accurate but often unflinching portrayals of its horrors, delivering a comprehensive, readable, and timely examination of enslaved African Americans and slavery in America's film history.

A Revolution in Colour Natural Dyes and Dress in Europe, c 1400-1800

Half a million European Roma were exterminated by the Nazi regime; many more were subjected to a policy of racial discrimination similar to that suffered by the Jewish people However, the persecution and torment of Roma in Hitler's Europe has little presence in the history books This book places the Roma genocide in the context of the widespread violence of the Second World War, while offering an explanation that places it within a broader trajectory of anti-Roma persecution in modern societies It brings together original analysis of the memories of Roma survivors and a critical synthesis of scholarship in the field.

Jews under Tsars and Communists

The Four Questions

Robert Weinberg, Swarthmore College, USA Jews under Tsars and Communists explores how perceptions of Jews in late Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union shaped the regimes’ policies toward them It traces the evolving and changing nature of popular and official beliefs about the purported nature of Jews from the late 18th century to the end of the 20th century Robert Weinberg’s examination of the ‘Jewish Question’ (and by extension antiSemitism) provides a fruitful way to investigate why and how social, economic, political, and cultural developments in Russia from the time of Catherine the Great led to prejudices and the discriminatory treatment of Russian and Soviet Jews

The Soviet Suppression of Academia

The Case of Konstantin Azadovsky

Petr A. Druzhinin, Russian Academic of Sciences, Russia

Translated by Sarah Vitali, University of Cambridge, UK

This book tells of an individual’s struggle with a highly repressive state machine Based on the hitherto inaccessible Soviet Secret Police (KBG) archives and on personal recordings, the book traces Azadovsky’s persecution from the 1970s to his arrest and imprisonment in a labour camp in the 1980s to his struggle for rehabilitation in the 1990s. Here, for the first time in English, the KBG’s secret operations against prominent intellectuals is revealed in full, horrific detail, providing new insight into the lived experience of KBG control and into the relationship between intellectual and state power in Soviet Russia

Locating the Transatlantic in Twentieth-century Politics, Diplomacy and Culture

Edited by Gaynor Johnson, University of Kent, UK

Written in tribute to the work of Professor Alan Dobson, this collection of essays brings diplomacy and the Anglo-American relationship together, considering political interactions in tandem with cultural interactions. Uniquely placed to define exactly what transatlanticism is, and to explore the ways in which this idea has evolved in the last 150 years, this book asks to what extent can it be argued that there was a transatlantic world; how can it be defined and what was unique about it?

Ksenia Tartachenko, Singapore Management University, Singapore

Uprisings in Eighteenth-Century Britain

Mediation and the Transformation of Political Culture

Monika Barget, Maastricht University, The Netherlands

This study examines how the British Empire of the 18th century avoided revolution by integrating opposition agents as new spaces of power opened up Monika Barget convincingly argues that this process of constitutionalisation meant that groups from the aristocracy to the church, from the army to the people at large, were brought into the system in a way that negated the obvious, serious challenges that were posed to the Empire by the Glorious Revolution, the Jacobite Rebellion, the American Revolution, and Jacobin threats of the late-18th century Barget goes on to highlight the lasting political and legal repercussions of this process

How Wide is the Canon?

Richard Matthew Pollard, University of Quebec, Montreal, Canada

In the history of Christianity, the so-called ‘Church Fathers’ hold an immensely important place, with the title used from the 4th century onwards to designate particularly trustworthy authorities, whose opinions became the foundation of Western religious and intellectual culture But who exactly were these Church Fathers?

Conversations with the Animate

Historical representations of Human and non-Human interactions in India

Aloka Parasher-Sen, University of Hyderabad, India

Human interventions with living entities have had to be in a constant state of negotiating space necessary for co-habitation with animals, birds, trees, plants, grasslands, forests, hills, water bodies, etc The book argues that negotiating this space meant sharing, which impacted economic strategies, religious experiences, cultural interactions and oral performances that humans have strategized and preserved This intersectional theme, through individual case studies, provides the civilizational ethos of the Indian sub-continent on how human non-human relations informed it Further how this relationship was represented in a variety of material and literary texts, visual representations, archival records, folklore and oral testimonies

A Cultural History of Race in Antiquity

Edited by Denise Eileen McCoskey, Miami University, USA

This volume explores some of the specific ways race was defined and mobilized by different groups— including the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Persians, and Ethiopians— as they came into contact with one another during the Classical era

Drawing on a range of ancient evidence—literature, historical writing, documentary evidence, and ancient art and archaeology—this volume highlights both the complexity of ancient racial ideas and the often violent and asymmetrical power structures embedded in ancient racial representations and practices like war and the enslavement of other persons

A Cultural History of Race in the Renaissance and Early Modern Age

Edited by Kimberly Ann Coles & Dorothy Kim, Brandeis University, USA

Through the lens of critical race theory, the essays collected here explore new analytical models, theoretical frameworks, and methodological approaches in attempting to reimagine the European Renaissance and early modern periods in terms of global expansion, awareness, and participation Centering race in these periods requires that we acknowledge the people against whom social hierarchies and differential treatment were directed This collection takes Europe as its focus, but White Europeans are not centred in it and the experiences of Black Africans, Asians, Jews and Muslims are not relegated to the margins of a shared history

A Cultural History of Race in the Reformation and Enlightenment

Edited

by Nicholas Hudson

The essays in this volume trace the complex pattern of intellectual and cultural change from popular bigotry in the Age of Shakespeare to the racial categories developed in the works of Buffon and Kant These essays also link changes in racial thinking to other trends during this age The development of modern ideas of race corresponded with emerging conceptions of the nation state; new acceptance of religious diversity became linked with speculations on racial diversity; transforming ideologies of gender and sexuality overlapped in crucial ways with developing racial attitudes

A Cultural History of Race in the Modern and Genomic Age

Edited

by Marina B.

Mogilner, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA

This volume covers the cultural history of race in ‘the long 19th century’ – the age of empire and nation-state, a transformative period during which a modern world had been forged and complex and hierarchical imperial formations were challenged by the emerging national norm The concept of race emerged as a dominant epistemology in the context of the conflicting entanglement of empire and nation as two alternative but quite compatible forms of social imaginary It penetrated all spheres of life under the novel conditions of the emerging mass culture and mass society and with the sanction of anthropocentric and positivistic science

A Cultural History of the Home in Antiquity

Edited by Joanne Berry & Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, University of Cambridge, UK

‘Home’ is a powerful idea throughout antiquity, from Odysseus’ epic journey to recover his own home, nostalgically longed-for through his long absence, to the implanting of Christianity in the domestic sphere in late antiquity Ranging across a period of over a millennium, this collection looks at the home as a force of integration: of the worlds of family and of the outsider in hospitality; of the worlds of leisure and work; of the worlds of public and private life; of the world of practical structures and furnishings and the world of religion

The chapters in this volume therefore discuss and reflect upon issues relating to the home through a range of approaches Enlightenment homes are examined in terms of signification and meaning; the persons who inhabited them; the physical buildings and their furniture and furnishings; the work undertaken within them; the differing roles of men and women; the nature of hospitality, and the important role of religion in the home

Edited

by Jennifer Wallace, Peterhouse College, University of Cambridge, UK

Covering the period from 1920 to the present, this volume considers the degree to which the definitions, forms and media of tragedy were transformed in the modern period and how far the tragic tradition still spoke to 20th- and 21st-century challenges

While theater remains the primary focus, the essays also cover tragic representation in film, art and installation, photography, fiction and creative non-fiction, documentary reporting, political theory and activism. It also reflects increasing globalization, including intercultural encounters, various forms of hybridity, and postcolonial tragic representations

A Cultural History of Disability in Antiquity

A Cultural History of Disability in the Middle Ages

Edited

by Christian Laes, University of Manchester, UK

Though there was no word for, or a concept of, disability in Antiquity, a considerable part of the population experienced physical or mental conditions that put them at a disadvantage Drawing on a wide variety of sources, from literary texts and legal sources to archaeological and iconographical evidence as well as comparative anthropology, this volume uniquely examines contexts and conditions of disability in the ancient world

An essential resource for researchers, scholars and students of history, literature, culture and education, this book explores atypical bodies; mobility impairment; chronic pain and illness; blindness; deafness; speech; learning difficulties; and mental health.
