Buddhism and Law An Introduction Edited by Rebecca Redwood French State University of New York, Buffalo

and Mark A. Nathan State University of New York, Buffalo

As the first comprehensive study of Buddhism and law in Asia, this volume challenges the concept of Buddhism as an apolitical religion without implications for law. It reveals that in some cases, Buddhism provided a legal ideology, whilst in others it added a layer of complexity to pre-existing legal systems.

Contents: Introducing Buddhism and law; Part I. The Roots of Buddhism and Law in India: 1. Society at the time of the Buddha; 2. What the Vinayas can tell us about law; 3.

Rethinking the Buddha Early Buddhist Philosophy as Meditative Perception Eviatar Shulman Tel Aviv University

Although many see the four noble truths as the kernel of the historical Buddha’s teachings, early texts reveal they are a later development. Shulman illustrates that these truths originated as observations to be cultivated during

meditation, challenging the conventional view that the Buddha’s teachings represent universal themes of human existence.

Sociology NEW IN PAPERBACK

The Peasant in Postsocialist China History, Politics, and Capitalism Alexander F. Day Occidental College, Los Angeles

A radical appraisal of the role of the peasant throughout Chinese history, and how that role has transformed in the reform-era and beyond. Indispensable reading for all those wishing to understand Chinese history and politics, and the debate as to the nature of tomorrow’s China.

‘Rural China, the source of the Chinese Revolution, has suffered marginalization, exploitation, and plunder under developmentalist reform policies since the 1990s, when the PRC leadership decisively embarked on a path of incorporation in global capitalism. In this wellresearched and engaged study, Alexander F. Day critically analyzes the ideological debates occasioned by the ‘agrarian question’, and traces efforts by activists of various political stripes to resolve it. The ‘underside’ of the phenomenal so-called ‘China model’ is recognized widely, including by the regime itself, but is framed more often than not as a problem of sustained development. What makes this study unique and invaluable is bringing to light efforts to remedy it that also aspire to lend some credence to the regime’s ritual claims to socialism.’

Credit to Capabilities A Sociological Study of Microcredit Groups in India Paromita Sanyal Cornell University, New York

Credit to Capabilities discusses microcredit and women’s empowerment, a hot topic globally in addressing poverty and how to improve the lives of poor women. This is the first sociological study of how microcredit improves women’s agency in India, finding that it is the mechanism of group participation and networking, rather than the loan capital itself, that truly empowers women.

‘Microcredit has been a major interest of development economists for years, given their effectiveness as an engine of upward mobility among the poor.

Paromita Sanyal’s remarkable book gives us a different lens on their importance. She reveals the critical role of microcredit in enabling women to build independent lives even in the face of traditional suppression. This engaging study should be read by students, scholars and policy makers who want to know how this strategy can make a profound difference for women in developing countries.’

Patronage as Politics in South Asia Edited by Anastasia Piliavsky Zukerman Fellow in Social Anthropology, King’s College, Cambridge

With South Asian states rapidly rising as major, but often ostensibly troubled, players on the global political arena, this volume will offer crucial insights to academic and lay readers looking for a better understanding of vernacular politics in the region, as well as in many other parts of the world.

‘By insisting that what we call ‘patronage’ is above all a moral idiom, and by rejecting arguments that would prefer to confine patronage to the theoretical dustbin referred to as ‘tradition’, this brilliant volume will transform the study of South Asian politics. It combines a stellar assembly of researchers and imaginatively analysed case studies, and will provoke exciting debates about the

The Archaeology of Early China From Prehistory to the Han Dynasty Gideon Shelach-Lavi Hebrew University of Jerusalem

This book covers Chinese archaeology from the first people to the unification of the empire. Particular emphasis is placed on the great cultural variations that existed among the different regions and the development of interregional contacts among those societies.

‘The Archaeology of Early China is the most up-to-date synthesis of major developments in China from human origins to the early Imperial period.

Readable and concise, it emphasizes mobility and interaction in different eras and eloquently sets a new standard for critical evaluation of the interpretation of archaeological data.’

China’s Party Congress Power, Legitimacy, and Institutional Manipulation Guoguang Wu University of Victoria, British Columbia

The first analysis of the National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, more commonly known as the Party Congress. Drawing from new documentary evidence, Guoguang Wu examines the operation of the highest decision-making body in China’s single ruling party, developing a theory of authoritarian legitimization that integrates informal politics with institutions.

Advance praise: ‘Why has China had such high popular legitimacy (according to the best available indicators) when its citizenry have had so little to say about how they are governed? In this brilliant, pioneering study of the National Party Congress, Guoguang Wu shows how by shrewdly using ‘institutional manipulation’ the CCP can present a democratic showcase while keeping the levers of power hidden. Thus the ‘hollow’ but ‘holy’ Party Congress actually proves more effective at building popular consensus than the representative legislatures after which it was modeled.’

Training the Party Party Adaptation and Elite Training in Reform-Era China Charlotte P. Lee Stanford University, California

Charlotte P. Lee considers organizational changes taking place within the contemporary Chinese Communist Party (CCP), examining the party’s renewed emphasis on an understudied but core set of organizations: party-managed training academies. This book will have immediate appeal for readers interested in contemporary Chinese politics.

Advance praise: ‘Charlotte P. Lee probes the core institution of China’s political system – the party – through an original examination of party schools, organizations that train and socialize officials throughout the country.

Marshaling extensive fieldwork and new statistical data, Lee paints an exquisitely detailed picture of the party’s entrepreneurial adaptation to market reforms as well as the evolution of bureaucratic training.

Importantly, this book reveals there can be avenues of political change without formal democratization in authoritarian regimes.’

The Cultural Logic of Politics in Mainland China and Taiwan Tianjian Shi Duke University, North Carolina

This book explains why and how cultural norms affect political attitudes and behavior, as well as how this ‘normative reality’-centered framework connects the findings of scholars of Asian politics with the mainstream literature in comparative politics. Using multiple surveys from mainland China and Taiwan, the book shows how cultural norms, independent of structural and institutional factors, significantly shape political trust, participation, and understanding of democracy.

‘Over the course of his career, Tianjian Shi came to realize that culture could not be dismissed as irrelevant to the politics of nations. Instead, it kept resurfacing as a critical determinant of political legitimacy, participation, interests and leadership. This final casebook of a great detective solves once and for all the puzzle of culture.

It will serve as a model for anyone on the trail of culture.’

Hicken and Kuhonta’s superbly edited volume not only moves Asia to center stage, but makes a theoretical contribution in its own right. Their key argument – rooted in history – that authoritarianism begets institutionalization represents a major challenge to established political science theory.’

Democracy, Inequality and Corruption Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines Compared Jong-sung You Australian National University, Canberra

This comparative, historical survey explores the correlation between inequality and corruption in the countries of South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines. Drawing on a wealth of empirical research, Jongsung You illustrates the ways in which inequality can undermine democratic accountability, thereby increasing the risk of clientelism and corruption.

‘Concern about inequality has grown not only in the advanced industrial states but in the developing world as well. Those concerns are not just economic, but extend to the political arena: that democracy might be damaged by an unequal distribution of income and assets. In this forcefully-argued comparative study of Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines – backed by broader cross-national evidence – Jong-sung You shows how inequality contributes to corruption.

The mechanisms include elite capture, patronage and clientelism. This book is an important contribution to the study of inequality, corruption and of the new democracies of East Asia.’

A detailed account of the difficulties of adopting best practice reforms in the infrastructure sector of Indonesia, Southeast Asia’s largest economy and freest democracy. Vested interests and local politics serve as formidable obstacles despite the efforts of reformers to get the prices right and institutional safeguards in place.

‘This book is at once a powerful political analysis of democratic Indonesia’s decade-long struggle to build a trans-Java expressway and a significant original contribution to the new institutional economics theoretical literature. It is mustreading for Indonesia’s newly elected government and for policy makers throughout the developing world.’

The Transformation of Governance in Rural China Market, Finance, and Political Authority An Chen National University of Singapore

Utilising extensive field research and data collected from surveys across rural China, An Chen provides an in-depth exploration of the transformation of governance in rural China following two major tax reforms: the tax-for-fee reform of 2002–4, and the abolition of agricultural taxes (AAT) in 2005–6.

‘This is a thorough and comprehensive analysis of China’s rural politics during the reform era. The author traces the effect of the dramatic changes – decollectivization, marketization, privatization, tax reforms – on the power and status of grassroots cadres.

He argues that in major parts of rural China village cadres have lost both administrative as well as the redistributive power to allocate public good. The result has been a crisis of rural governance. The exception is a large group of new leaders who combine both entrepreneurial and political roles, but who also pose an implicit challenge to Party control.

The book is the result of twelve years of research, using all applicable methods. The author deals skillfully with the increasing complexity of the rural political, economic, and social landscape. The rich detail of this excellent book will challenge readers but those who persist will be amply rewarded.’

Moral China in the Age of Reform Jiwei Ci The University of Hong Kong

This book explores the three decades of reform in China as viewed in moral and spiritual, rather than socioeconomic, terms. It examines the current moral crisis as a mirror of contradictions in the new Chinese self as well as in society and seeks to show that enhanced freedom offers the only promise of escape from these contradictions.

‘Jiwei Ci’s remarkable book presents a gripping picture of contemporary China’s moral chaos and political vulnerability. He offers a deep diagnosis of the sources and character of China’s increasingly obtrusive and painfully felt moral crisis and makes clear how desperately difficult that crisis will be to resolve. He places residual hope in the imaginative resources of China’s ancient commitment to a very concrete conception of the good and in the possible political commitment of the ruling party to revive some viable interpretation of that ancient commitment’s implications, which together level a bracing challenge to assess China’s political plasticity.’

Much of what is written about civil society in China focuses on state repression. However, this victimcentered narrative disregards how such organizations are able to teach state officials about the benefits of a vibrant civil society. This text demonstrates the power of learning and the agency of civil society to change local officials’ perspectives.

‘China has become the mega enigma of the global economy.

Using a new model of ‘consultative authoritarianism’, Jessica Teets shows us how Chinese rulers and civil society organizations mutually learn from one another through their interactions, so that domestic institutions become more adaptive and less fragile over time. Teets has given us a new and powerful explanation for the durability of authoritarianism in general, and the dynamism of China in particular, that suggests those holding their breath for Western-style democracy to inevitably emerge in China may remain blue in the face for a long time to come.’

Islam, Democracy, and Cosmopolitanism At Home and in the World Ali Mirsepassi

‘A remarkable study that raises the question: are Asian societies essentially autocratic or are they compatible with modern democracy?

If the latter, how can their symbiosis be best understood? Rejecting the incompatibility thesis, the author calls into question presumed Asian preferences for thick communitarianism (neglectful of individual liberty and social pluralism) and public meritocracy (neglectful of popular accountability). Proceeding in a clear, analytical fashion, Kim defends the idea of a Confucian civil democracy whose institutions, supported by Confucian habits and mores, can provide a bulwark for public freedom, democratic citizenship, and good governance. This is an admirable vision designed to call forth the better angels of democracy.’

The Promise of Power The Origins of Democracy in India and Autocracy in Pakistan Maya Tudor

Why do poor people often vote against their material interests? This puzzle has been famously studied within wealthy Western democracies, yet the fact that the poor voter paradox also routinely manifests within poor countries has remained unexplored. This book studies how this paradox emerged in India, the world’s largest democracy.

‘Why would poor people support elite parties that do not advance their interests? In a fascinating and rigorous analysis, Tariq Thachil demonstrates that the private provision of services serves both the interests of poor supporters and the elite core. This incisive and compelling book addresses critical questions in comparative politics about the nature and uses of political parties, their supporters, and patronage.’

Media Commercialization and Authoritarian Rule in China Daniela Stockmann

Amrita Basu

Universiteit Leiden

Amherst College, Massachusetts

Stockmann argues that the consequences of introducing market forces to the media depend on the institutional design of the state. In one-party regimes, market-based media promote regime stability rather than destabilizing authoritarianism or bringing about democracy. This book links censorship with patterns of media consumption and the media’s effects on public opinion.

This study examines the political sources of violence against religious minorities in India. Focusing on Hindu organizations that have asserted dominance over religious minorities, particularly since the late 1980s, Amrita Basu questions the

By communicating from the bottom up as well as from the top down, Stockmann argues that market-based media provide regime stability rather than simply a democratizing force for change in China. She enriches our understanding of China’s dynamic media environment by making cogent comparisons to trends in other authoritarian regimes. These comparisons reveal the importance of institutional factors in determining the impact of media commercialization.’

Rising Inequality in China Challenges to a Harmonious Society Edited by Shi Li Beijing Normal University

HIGHLIGHT

Counting Islam Religion, Class, and Elections in Egypt Tarek Masoud John F. Kennedy School of Government, Massachusetts

Analyzing Islamist electoral performance and behavior before and after the 2011 revolution that unseated former dictator Hosni Mubarak, this book argues that Islamists win elections not because Egyptians are fundamentalists, but because these parties have more organizational resources to call on than their secular rivals.

‘This book provides the most compelling explanation yet for why Islamist parties have stunned autocrats and oppositionists across the Middle East. With a breathtaking set of data collected in the field, Tarek Masoud demonstrates that the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood won elections through a combination of luck and political savvy, not sermons or social services … Lucidly written for scholars, students, and policy makers, Counting Islam offers unparalleled insight into the maelstrom of repression and faith engulfing the Arab Spring.’

and Terry Sicular University of Western Ontario

This book, a sequel to Inequality and Public Policy in China (2008), examines changes from 2002 to 2007 in the Chinese distribution of income and poverty, and analyzes factors contributing to recent trends in inequality, providing insights into the potentially far-reaching consequences for China’s economy, politics and society.

‘Inequality – in incomes, in education, in opportunities – is one of the most important issues that China will have to deal with in the coming decades.

This work edited by Li, Sato, and Sicular is the definitive book on China’s inequality. Based on highquality data and careful analysis and clear presentation, we see that the challenge of dealing with inequality today and in the coming years is great indeed.’

‘Lu Zhang’s highly readable and insightful book offers a fascinating perspective on the recent wave of strikes in China’s vast and growing automobile industry, drawing on extensive fieldwork in seven different auto factories. Highlighting the militancy of young, highly educated temporary auto assembly workers, who live in factory dormitories and often use social media as an organizing tool, Zhang shows how they leverage the ideological legacy of state socialism to challenge the logic of profit maximization in the world’s most dynamic market economy. It is difficult to imagine a more intriguing case study of twenty-first-century labor unrest.’

Community Capitalism in China The State, the Market, and Collectivism Xiaoshuo Hou St Lawrence University, New York

Hou offers the ‘both/and’ perspective and discusses the intertwining of the economy, the state and social relations. Focusing on three villages in China – Nanjie, Huaxi and Shangyuan – with collectively owned enterprises, villagers become shareholders in these enterprises and receive social welfare benefits and/or dividends.

‘Community Capitalism in China is a welcome addition to the body of research on economic reform in China. It is a beautiful example of the ways in which grounded research

Economics, business studies / Law can both illuminate eye-opening stories about transforming economies and also advance our theoretical understanding of the forces driving that transformation. Professor Hou also boldly steps beyond the tired state-versus-market mindset, offering a fresh view of how China’s economy works.’

Economic Reform in India Challenges, Prospects, and Lessons Edited by Nicholas C. Hope Stanford Center for International Development

Anjini Kochar Stanford Center for International Development

Roger Noll Stanford University, California

and T. N. Srinivasan Yale University, Connecticut and National University of Singapore

These essays are written by leading economists working on the Indian economy. They emphasize the importance of policies and institutions for growth and poverty reduction, stressing that the success of sectorspecific policies is dependent on the nature of markets and the functioning of institutions including those charged with regulating critical sectors.

‘The transformation of India in the past couple of decades from a slow growth economy to the ranks of the fastest growing economies in the world is not a mystery. Economic reforms unleashed the growth potential of the sleeping giant. But what exactly were these reforms?

This volume, with contributions by an all-star cast of expert economists, is the definitive description of the wideranging economic reforms undertaken by the Indian government. It will be read by academics with an interest in growth and the Indian economy, as well as by policy makers around the developing world who want their countries to emulate the Indian experience.’

It redefines the nature of political sovereignty in the era of colonialism, and identifies the close relationship between Muslim rule and political modernity.

Chopsticks A Cultural and Culinary History Q. Edward Wang Rowan University, New Jersey

Chopsticks have become a quintessential part of the Japanese, Chinese or Korean culinary experience around the world. This fascinating account of the history of chopsticks explores how they have evolved from an eating implement to a more complex, cultural symbol, providing fresh insights into the cultural history of East Asia.

Advance praise: ‘Questions you would have never thought to ask are expertly answered in this timely volume. The pages and chapters bring to light unique facets of Chinese life that are usually reserved for interrogation by focusing on the Chinese written language as a special East Asian ‘cultural sphere’.

By addressing chopsticks Wang neatly augments that sphere by adding culinary history to the cultural mix.’

Detailed maps are complemented by chronologies, lists of monarchs, and overviews of the political, economic, social and cultural systems for each era discussed. Assorted full-color images of artifacts, paintings, and architectural structures complete this unique reference work.

‘Michael Shin and his colleagues have done us an essential and estimable service with this beautiful, fascinating and illuminating work.

The illustrations are superb, and when accompanied by the authors’ excellent commentary and analysis, Korean History in Maps becomes not just an invaluable book, but a keepsake. It opens new, sparkling and indelible images and windows on the entire Korean experience from (Old) Joseon to the present.

Coming of Age in NineteenthCentury India The Girl-Child and the Art of Playfulness Ruby Lal Emory University, Atlanta

In this eloquent history, Ruby Lal traces the coming of age of nineteenth-century Indian women. While in the north Indian patriarchal environment, women’s lives were dominated by domestic duties, Lal reveals that women in the early nineteenth century experienced greater freedoms, playfulness and creativity than their counterparts in the more restricted colonial world at the end of the century.

‘Learned, experimental, and engagingly ambitious, Lal’s book is a must-read for scholars of gender and sexuality in South Asia.’

Creating a New Medina State Power, Islam, and the Quest for Pakistan in Late Colonial North India Venkat Dhulipala University of North Carolina, Wilmington

This book examines how the idea of Pakistan was articulated and debated in the public sphere and how popular enthusiasm was generated for its successful achievement, especially in the crucial province of UP (now Uttar

2015_Asia Studies catalogue_20.3.2015.indd 16

Pradesh) in the last decade of British colonial rule in India.

‘Dhulipala’s impressively researched, lucidly written, and intelligently argued book comes as a sharp but welcome corrective to the tendency to see Pakistan as a country created accidentally in a fit of popular enthusiasm and elite indirection in the final, confusing years of British rule in India. Dhulipala shows, with particular focus on north India, how rich the 1940s were with public debates in English and Urdu over the meaning of Pakistan. This is an exciting, significant, and challenging contribution to South Asian history.’

The book establishes the fact that Bengali cuisine cannot be labeled as indigenist although it never became widely commercialized.

TEXTBOOK

A History of Modern India Ishita Banerjee-Dube Center for Asian and African Studies, El Colegio de México

This book covers a very important phase of Indian history, covering developments from the eighteenth century to independent India. While it does not forego chronology, it does away with the conventional demarcation of political processes and socio-cultural histories in order to portray the multifaceted nature of social worlds.

‘Through a dynamic combination of history-telling and in-depth historiographical analysis, Ishita Banerjee-Dube’s A History of Modern India breaks exciting new ground for students and scholars alike. She discards the familiar, and all too predictable, colony-to-nation narrative for an approach that exposes the troubled and uncertain course of modern Indian history, unravels the startling heterogeneity of that history, explores the radical possibilities of recent historical reinterpretation, and provides fascinating insights into the conflicts and contradictions that make up India’s multiple and many layered pasts. This imaginative rethinking of India’s history and the complex fashioning of its modernity deserves a wide and appreciative audience.’

Caricaturing Culture in India Cartoons and History in the Modern World Ritu Gairola Khanduri University of Texas, Arlington

A highly original history of political cartoons in modern India. Utilising newspaper cartoons published since the 1870s, archival research and interviews, Khanduri combines historical narrative with ethnographic testimony to give a pioneering account of the role of political cartoons in Indian culture from the colonial period to the present day.

‘Ritu Gairola Khanduri breaks new ground in Indian Studies with her captivating account of the political role cartoons and cartoonists have played in the country from the colonial period to now. Students of Indian political culture will find this book to be of enduring interest.’

and Sunil Amrith Birkbeck, University of London

This book sheds light on the history of political and religious globalisation in modern Asia, transcending both national and imperial boundaries, while expanding the range of methodologies and sources brought to bear on studying Asia’s modernity. It illuminates how ideas travelled across Asia, and how they changed in the process.

The Rani of Jhansi Gender, History, and Fable in India Harleen Singh Brandeis University, Massachusetts

This book sifts through and theorizes the many British and Indian renditions of the Rani of Jhansi, a heroic figure, whose seeming mutability offers a nuanced evaluation of the fluid literary, cinematic, and cultural representations in colonial and postcolonial discourses of sexuality, race, gender, caste, and religion.

‘It is one of the first works in the arena of South Asian studies to provide a feminist account of a rebellion against empire; a theme totally unique and much needed in explicating India’s complex relationship to Britain. Moreover, the author’s intellectual gambit of bypassing numerous routine, historico-political accounts that are regurgitated to bolster colonial and/or postcolonial theses is noteworthy.’

The Logic of Law Making in Islam Women and Prayer in the Legal Tradition Behnam Sadeghi Stanford University, California

This pioneering study examines the process of reasoning in Islamic law. By analysing rulings from the Hanafi school, the author questions whether sacred law operated differently from secular law, why laws changed and how different cultural and historical settings impacted on the development of legal rulings. The result is a fascinating overview of the evolution of Islamic law.

‘Sadeghi’s work is significant. His detailed analysis of a focused set of legal debates is illuminating in its own right, and his sophisticated discussion of the nature of legal change and justification should make the work a touchstone for any future thinking about this issue. Sadeghi’s overall conclusion – that the business of the typical pre-modern Muslim jurist was focused not on the canon but on the precedent embodied in his school’s doctrine – is certainly true and important, but his elucidation of the logic of change internal to Islamic legal discourse is even more interesting and original.’

Doubt in Islamic Law

Mao’s Cultural Army

A History of Legal Maxims, Interpretation, and Islamic Criminal Law Intisar A. Rabb

Drama Troupes in China’s Rural Revolution Brian DeMare

Harvard Law School, Massachusetts

This study explores the role of drama troupes that were tasked with roaming the countryside in support of Mao’s communist revolution in China. Caught between the party and their audiences, the book illustrates how drama troupes, through performance, attempted to resist the ever growing reach of the PRC state.

Through a close examination of legal, historical, and theological sources, this book considers a largely neglected area of Islamic law, calling into question a controversial popular notion about Islamic law today, which is that Islamic law is a divine legal tradition that has little room for discretion or doubt, particularly in Islamic criminal law.

The Second Formation of Islamic Law is the first book to deal with the rise of an official school of law in the Ottoman Empire and argues that some of the supposedly nineteenth-century developments, such as the codification of Islamic law, are rooted in much earlier centuries.

Muslim Midwives The Craft of Birthing in the Premodern Middle East Avner Giladi University of Haifa, Israel

This book reconstructs the role of midwives in medieval to early modern Islamic history through a careful reading of a wide range of classical and medieval Arabic sources. It takes a broad historical view of midwifery in the Middle East by examining the tensions between learned medicine (male) and popular, medico-religious practices (female) from early Islam into the Ottoman period.

An Introduction Najam Haider

This book examines the development of Shi‘i Islam through the lenses of belief, narrative, and memory. The portrait of Shi‘ism that emerges is that of a distinctive and vibrant community of Muslims with a remarkable capacity for reinvention and adaptation.

‘Haider provides a thoroughly researched and methodologically nuanced survey of Shi‘ism that fills the gap between works that focus on the historical origins of Shi‘ism and primers that attempt to summarize the central elements of Shi‘i theological beliefs and practices.

This work is certain to supersede existing introductions as the standard reference on the subject for academic courses and as a general guide for specialists and non-specialists alike.’

China’s Civil War A Social History, 1945–1949 Diana Lary University of British Columbia, Vancouver

The first social history in English of China’s Civil War, 1945–9, which brought the Chinese Communist Party to power. Surveying a period of intense upheaval and chaos, it shows how the Communist Party succeeded in overthrowing the Nationalist government to bring political and social revolution to China.

‘Professor Lary has analysed in depth the social forces that prepared for the CCP’s victory. She writes with deep compassion for the Chinese people who have gone through the greatest social upheaval in their history. A huge contribution to the understanding of China’s Civil War.’ Pai Hsien-Yung, author of Taipei People New Approaches to Asian History

disruption during the conflict between China and Japan that raged during World War II. ‘This is a riveting study of one of modern history’s worst war-induced disasters. In 1938 the Yellow River was turned into a weapon of strategic defense, its waters let loose on the North China plain by Chinese forces resisting the Japanese invasion.

This consummate work shows the evolution of the disaster and lays out its ghastly human and ecological effects. It is a pioneering combination of environmental history and Chinese history.’

Law and Identity in Colonial South Asia Parsi Legal Culture, 1772–1947 Mitra Sharafi University of Wisconsin, Madison

This book explores the legal culture of the Parsis, or Zoroastrians, an ethno-religious community unusually invested in the colonial legal system of British India and Burma. From the mid-nineteenth century until India’s independence in 1947, Parsis became heavy users of colonial law, acting as lawyers, judges, litigants, lobbyists, and legislators.

‘Despite its importance, there is relatively little written on Parsi law.

Mitra Sharafi’s book undertakes the most detailed and informed study of the main branches of Parsi legal history. In it, Sharafi neatly straddles two readerships, the Parsi specialist and the legal fields. Through this, Sharafi offers a work that is by a long way the best study in its field, carrying the subject a long way forward. This is a superb piece of work.’

History – other areas NEW IN PAPERBACK

World War I and the Triumph of a New Japan, 1919–1930 Frederick R. Dickinson University of Pennsylvania

A fascinating new, integrative history of interwar Japan that highlights the wide-ranging impact of the Great War far from the Western Front. Adopting a global context, this book reveals how Japan participated wholeheartedly in new post-war projects of democracy, internationalism, disarmament and peace, shaping Japan’s twentiethcentury world.

‘Dickinson provides a fresh perspective on interwar Japan. His argument is forceful, his prose fluid, and he is sure to spark a heated debate about the nature of change in early twentieth-century Japan.’

The Crisis of Global Modernity Asian Traditions and a Sustainable Future Prasenjit Duara National University of Singapore

Prasenjit Duara explores the idea that the process of modernisation has resulted in an overreach in our conquest of nature, leading to a crisis of sustainability. Drawing on historical sociology and circulatory histories, and through a rich engagement with transcendent Asian traditions, Duara seeks answers to the challenges accompanying global modernity.

‘Modernity in its Western guise has generated a degraded, unsustainable world. To find the basis for a more viable, ‘post-Western modernity’, Duara maintains that we must look beyond this tradition. Drawing on a capacious command of Asian history and society, Duara probes the region’s older philosophies to offer a vision that might nurture a truly global commons. This is work that is ambitious in the best possible sense.’

The Indian Army on the Western Front India’s Expeditionary Force to France and Belgium in the First World War George Morton-Jack

The Indian army fought alongside the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front from 1914 to 1918, but analysis of its performance tends to deem this a failure. Examining the tactical, operational and administrative performance of the Indian army, this groundbreaking study reconsiders its contribution and combat effectiveness.

‘Extremely stimulating and should appeal to academics and enthusiasts alike; it is a must-read for students of the First World War. Morton-Jack’s approach to the fighting record of the Indians sets this book apart from its predecessors … [It] is so much more than a simple account of the Indian Army on the Western Front. MortonJack has produced a volume that incorporates almost every strand of current research on the BEF. It is a very welcome addition to First World War literature and could well prove to be a framework for future works.’
