30 Years After Issues and Representations of the Falklands WarEdited by Carine Berbéri and Monia O’Brien Castro, both at University of Tours, France

‘30 Years After represents a valuable addition to the literature on the Falklands War, and more generally contributes to a deeper understanding of the foreign policy issues facing Britain as it attempts to continue (as David Cameron recently reaffirmed) “to punch above its weight” on the international stage …a stimulating and thought-provoking exploration of some of its key aspects and consequences…’

Cercles

Thirty years after the Argentinian invasion of the Falkland Islands, the war remains a source of continued debate and analysis for politicians, historians and military strategists. Not only did the conflict provide a fascinating example of modern expeditionary warfare, but it also brought to the fore numerous questions regarding international law, sovereignty, the inheritance of colonialism, the influence of history on national policy and the use of military force for domestic political uses. As the essays in this collection show, the numerous facets of the Falklands War remain current today and have ramifications far beyond the South Atlantic.

Aftermath Legacies and Memories of War in Europe, 1918–1945–1989Edited by Nicholas Martin and Tim Haughton, both at University of Birmingham, UK and Pierre Purseigle, University of Warwick, UK

Focusing on three of the defining moments of the twentieth century – the end of the two World Wars and the collapse of the Iron Curtain – this volume presents a rich, interdisciplinary collection of authoritative essays, covering a wide range of thematic, regional and methodological perspectives. By re-examining these traumatic years it illuminates ideas concerning mythologisation, mobilisation, commemoration, confrontation and representation in the aftermath of conflict. The relationship between the living and the dead, the contestation of memories and legacies of war in cultural and political discourses, and the significance of generations are all key threads binding the collection together.

Architecture of Great Expositions 1937–1959 Messages of Peace, Images of WarEdited by Rika Devos, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, Alexander Ortenberg, California State University, Pomona, USA and Vladimir Paperny, UCLA, USA

ASHGATE STUDIES IN ARCHITECTURE

This book investigates architecture as a form of diplomacy in the context of the Second World War at six major European international and national expositions that took place between 1937 and ’59. The volume gives a fascinating account of architecture assuming the role of the carrier of war-related messages, some of them camouflaged while others quite frank. The book provides a novel assessment of modern architecture’s involvement with national representation. it also argues that this widespread confidence in architecture’s ability to act as a propaganda tool was one of the reasons why Modernist architecture lent itself to the service of such different masters.

Art in the Time of Colony Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll

EMPIRES AND THE MAKING OF THE MODERN WORLD, 1650–2000

‘This is a stunning and ambitious study of cross cultural encounters which reveals their nuanced and unexpected poetics and violence. Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll’s self proclaimed “museum in a book” employs a creative and highly original way of thinking about the time of the colony through anachronism and how the arc of colonial time might be best thought of as being like the boomerang. Her stark juxtapositions and subtle weaving together of Aboriginal and colonial nineteenth-century art create emotive and acute alignments that are fascinating and timely. Rigorously researched, Art in the Time of the Colony is a seminal study that will change the way in which scholars approach visual culture and the postcolony. A tour de force.’

Natasha Eaton, University College London, UK published in Art History: Journal of the Association of Art Historians

It is often assumed that the verbal and visual languages of Indigenous people had little influence upon the classification of scientific, legal, and artistic objects in the metropolises and museums of nineteenth-century colonial powers. However colonized locals did more than merely collect material for interested colonizers. In developing the concept of anachronism for the analysis of colonial material this book writes the complex biographies for five key objects that exemplify, embody, and refract the tensions of nineteenth-century history.

The Ashgate Research Companion to Imperial Germany Edited by Matthew Jefferies, University of Manchester, UK

‘This scintillating collection presents the state of the art on the German Empire – what made it tick, how it fits within the larger sweep of history, why scholars disagree about its problems and prospects. The chapters expand the limits of the genre, offering remarkable breadth and unique depth. With its vivid prose and judicious analysis, this book will be indispensable to novices and experts alike.’

James Retallack, University of Toronto, Canada

This companion is a significant addition to the body of scholarship on Germany’s imperial era with the emphasis very much on the present and future. Questions of continuity remain a vital line of historical enquiry and while it may have been short-lived, the Kaiserreich remains central to modern German and European history. The collection will provide a lively take on this fascinating period of history, from Germany’s unification in 1871 until the end of World War I.

The Ashgate Research Companion to the Korean War Edited by James I. Matray, California State University, Chico, USA and Donald W. Boose, Jr., United States Army War College, USA

‘The Ashgate Research Companion to the Korean War provides a timely and much-needed scholarly reference, for both academic and general readers, to acquire updated knowledge and a deeper understanding of the first major hot war during the Cold War. Edited by two of America’s leading experts on the subject, the volume is comprehensive, informative, and insightful. It is highly commended.’

Chen Jian, Cornell University, USA

This essential companion provides a comprehensive study of the literature on the causes, course, and consequences of the Korean War, 1950–1953. Aimed primarily at readers with a special interest in military history and contemporary conflict studies, the authors summarize and analyze the background, history, conduct, tactics, clashes, and outcome of what for years was known as the ‘Forgotten War.’

Balkan Heritages Negotiating History and CultureEdited by Maria Couroucli and Tchavdar Marinov, both at the French School at Athens, Greece

BRITISH SCHOOL AT ATHENS – MODERN GREEK AND BYZANTINE STUDIES

This volume deals with the relation between heritage, history and politics in the Balkans. Contributions examine diverse ways in which material and immaterial heritage has been articulated, negotiated and manipulated since the nineteenth century. The contributors reveal the rich relations between material and immaterial conceptions of heritage. This comparative take on Balkan public uses of the past also reveals many common trends in social and political practices, ideas and fixations embedded in public and collective memories.

ASHGATE STUDIES IN FIRST WORLD WAR HISTORYSeries Editor: John Bourne, University of Birmingham, UK

The First World War is a subject of perennial interest to historians and is often regarded as a watershed event, marking the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the ‘modern’ industrial world. The sheer scale of the conflict and massive loss of life means that it is constantly being assessed and reassessed to examine its lasting military, political, sociological, industrial, cultural and economic impact. Reflecting the latest international scholarly research, the Ashgate Studies in First World War History series provides a unique platform for the publication of monographs on all aspects of the Great War. Whilst the main thrust of the series is on the military aspects of the conflict, other related areas (including cultural, visual, literary, political and social) are also addressed. Books published are aimed primarily at a post-graduate academic audience, furthering exciting recent interpretations of the war, whilst still being accessible enough to appeal to a wider audience of educated lay readers.

Arming the Western Front War, Business and the State in Britain 1900–1920Roger Lloyd-Jones and M. J. Lewis, both at Sheffield Hallam University, UK

The First World War was above all a war of logistics. Whilst the conflict will forever be remembered for the mud and slaughter of the Western Front, it was a war won on the factory floor as much as the battlefield. Examining the war from an industrial perspective, Arming the Western Front provides an overview of the British industrial-military complex between 1900 and 1920 and how it responded to the many challenges it faced in these to decades. It charts British industry’s response to the needs and pressures generated by the war, and outlines the successes and failures along the way. The book explains how, despite many problems along the way, by 1918 Britain had won the logistics war and could out muscle its opponents both in the factory and on the battlefield.

British Battle Planning in 1916 and the Battle of Fromelles A Case Study of an Evolving SkillRoger Lee, Australian Army History Unit

The Battle of Fromelles (19-20 July 1916) witnessed the first time Australian forces were used in offenses on the Western Front, and thus looms large in Commonwealth perceptions of ‘Bumbling British Generals’. This book follows the battle plan from the supreme commander’s strategic designs down through the commands at operational and tactical headquarters until it became the orders sending the infantry into the attack. In so doing it provides a unique insight into the strengths and weaknesses of British command structure, allowing a more scholarly judgement of its effectiveness.

Includes 6 b&w illustrations and 12 maps



British Infantry Battalion Commanders in the First World War Peter E. Hodgkinson, University of Birmingham, UK

Recent studies of the British Army during the First World War have fundamentally overturned historical understandings of its strategy and tactics, yet the chain of command that linked the upper echelons of GHQ to the soldiers in the trenches remains poorly understood. In order to reconnect the lines of communication between the General Staff and the front line, and to challenge lingering popular conceptions of callous incompetence, this book analyses a database of more than 4,000 officers who commanded infantry battalions during the war.

German Literature and the First World War: The Anti-War Tradition Collected Essays by Brian MurdochBrian Murdoch, University of Stirling, UK

Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front remains the archetypal example of an anti-war novel, and one that has become synonymous with the Great War. Yet the tremendous and enduring popularity of Remarque’s work has to some extent eclipsed a plethora of other German anti-war writers. In order to provide a more rounded view, this volume offers a selection of essays published by Brian Murdoch over the past twenty years. A new introduction provides the context for the volume and survey recent developments in the subject, the essays that follow range broadly over the German anti-war literary tradition, telling us much about the shifting and contested nature of the war.

An Historian in Peace and War The Diaries of Harold TemperleyEdited by T.G. Otte, University of East Anglia, UK

This volume provides the fully edited and annotated diaries of the scholar, soldier and diplomat Harold Temperley (1879–1939), covering his travels in the Balkans, his work for British military intelligence during the First World War, and his role in the Versailles peace conference. As a trained historian, he was aware of the importance of recording events as they unfolded, and regarded his diary as a means of preserving a non-official record. As such, this edition of Temperley’s diaries offers scholars a direct and hitherto neglected perspective on some of the most important events that shaped twentieth-century Europe.



The Men Who Planned the War A Study of the Staff of the British Army on the Western Front, 1914–1918Paul Harris, King’s College London, UK

During the Allied victory celebrations there were few who chose to raise a glass to the staff. The high cost of casualties endured by the British army tarnished the reputation of the military planners, which has yet to recover. This book examines the work and development of the staff through letters and diaries of the British army during the First World War and its critical role in the military leadership team. The study throws new light upon the characteristics, careers and working lives of these officers, investigating the ways in which they both embraced and resisted change.




New York and the First World War Shaping an American CityRoss J. Wilson, University of Chichester, UK

‘Ross Wilson’s account of the transformation of New York as an immigrant city into an American city adds an original and an important element to the burgeoning literature on the social and cultural consequences of the First World War on American life.’

Jay Winter, Yale University, USA

The First World War constitutes a point in New York’s history when its identity was challenged, recast and reinforced. Its position as a financial centre meant that its role in the conflict was realised sooner than elsewhere in the United States. This book uses archives, newspaper reports, leaflets and the ethnic press to explore how the city responded to its role in the War, from the outbreak in August 1914, through the official entry of the US in to the war in 1917, and after the cessation of hostilities in memorials to the conflict.






Britain’s War At Sea, 1914–1918 The War they Thought and the War they FoughtEdited by Greg Kennedy, King’s College London, UK

CORBETT CENTRE FOR MARITIME POLICY STUDIES SERIES

In Britain, memory of the First World War remains dominated by the trench warfare of the Western Front. Yet, in 1914 when the country declared war, the overwhelming expectation was that Britain’s efforts would be primarily focussed on the sea. As such, this volume is a welcome corrective to what is arguably an historical neglect of the naval aspect of the Great War. Kennedy also offers a case study in ideas about military planning for ‘the next war’: questions about how next wars are thought about, planned for and conceptualised, and then how reality actually influences that thinking, have long been – and remain – key concerns for governments and military strategists.

The British Empire A History and a DebateJeremy Black, University of Exeter, UK

Focusing on the most prominent and wide-ranging empire in world history, the British Empire, Black provides not only a history of that empire, but also a perspective from which to consider the issues of its strengths and weaknesses, and rights and wrongs. The book addresses global decline, decolonisation, and the complex nature of post-colonialism and different imperial activity in modern and contemporary history.



British Humanitarianism and the Congo Reform Movement, 1896–1913 Dean Pavlakis, Carroll College, USA

Examining key factors in the successes and failures of a pivotal movement that aided the colonized people of the Congo and broadened the idea of human rights, this book provides a valuable update to scholarship on the history of humanitarianism in Africa. The Congo Reform movement built on the institutional experience of overseas humanitarianism, the energy of evangelical political involvement, and innovations in racial, imperial, and nationalist discourse to create political energy. Often portrayed as the efforts of a few key people, especially E.D. Morel, this book demonstrates that the movement increasingly manifested itself as an institutionalized campaign that could pursue its goals even in the absence of its hardworking founder.

British Propaganda and Wars of Empire Influencing Friend and Foe 1900–2010Edited by Greg Kennedy and Christopher Tuck, King’s College London at the Joint Services Command and Staff College, Defence Academy, UK

In order to provide a better understanding of the shifting nature of influence, this volume looks at how the British government employed various forms of persuasion to achieve its goals across the twentieth century. The collection provides a range of case studies to assess how effectively – or ineffectively – influence was brought to bear on an array of non-western societies. This volume will be of interest not only to historians, but to anyone interested in the operation of influence as a foreign policy tool.



Children’s Games in the New Media Age Childlore, Media and the PlaygroundEdited by Andrew Burn and Chris Richards, both at Institute of Education, University of London, UK

ASHGATE STUDIES IN CHILDHOOD, 1700 TO THE PRESENT

‘The editors and their contributors bring the understanding of children, play and media to new levels with carefully formulated, insightful and sensitive research that refuses to dwell in the comfort of the standard categories and fears which so often dominate discussions of this topic. In the process, Children’s Games in the New Media Age helps reclaim children’s play as a living, ongoing and generative site of culture.’

Daniel Thomas Cook, Rutgers University, USA

Conceived to explore the relationship between children’s vernacular play cultures and their media-based play, this collection challenges two popular misconceptions: that children’s play is dying out and that it is threatened by contemporary media such as television and computer games. The result is a wide-ranging and lively investigation of gender, power and social change in contemporary children’s play cultures.

Cities Beyond Borders Comparative and Transnational Approaches to Urban HistoryEdited by Nicolas Kenny, Simon Fraser University, Canada and Rebecca Madgin, University of Glasgow, UK

Drawing on a body of research covering primarily Europe and the Americas, but stretching also to Asia and Africa, from the mid-eighteenth century to the present, Cities Beyond Borders explores the methodological and heuristic implications of studying cities in relation to one another.




Cityscapes in History Creating the Urban ExperienceEdited by Katrina Gulliver, University of New South Wales, Australia, and Heléna Tóth, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany

Cityscapes in History explores the ways in which scholars from a variety of disciplines – history, history of art, geography and architecture – think about and study the urban environment. Through such an approach it is possible to make fascinating connections between such seemingly diverse topics as fifteenth-century France and twentieth-century United States, thus raising valuable questions about scholarly approaches to urban studies.

Conflict Landscapes and Archaeology from Above Edited by Birger Stichelbaut and David Cowley

MATERIAL CULTURE AND MODERN CONFLICT

The study of conflict archaeology has developed rapidly over the last decade, fuelled in equal measure by technological advances and creative analytical frameworks. This volume brings together a wide range of perspectives, setting traditional approaches that draw on historical and contemporary aerial photographs alongside cutting-edge prospection techniques, cross-disciplinary analyses and innovative methods of presenting this material to audiences. With case studies ranging from the Western Front to the Cold War, Ireland to Russia, this volume demonstrates how an aerial perspective can both support and challenge traditional archaeological and historical analysis, providing an innovative new means of engaging with the material culture of conflict and commemoration.

Conservative Politics in National and Imperial Crisis Letters from Britain to the Viceroy of India 1926–31Edited by Stuart Ball, University of Leicester, UK

Whilst serving in the prestigious post of Viceroy of India (1926–1931), Lord Irwin (later the Earl of Halifax) was kept informed about political events in Britain by frequent letters from shrewd political insiders. These private and previously unpublished letters offer a frank account from within the highest political circles of the Baldwin government (1924–29) and the serious crisis in the Conservative Party which followed (1929–31). Of great depth and richness, this collection is an essential historical source for British history between the two World Wars.

County Borough Elections in England and Wales, 1919–1938: A Comparative Analysis Volume 4: Exeter – HullSam Davies and Bob Morley, both at Liverpool John Moores University, UK

The Historical Journal

These volumes provide an essential comprehensive work of reference for the annual municipal elections that took place each November in the 83 County Boroughs of England and Wales between 1919 and 1938. They also provide an extensive and detailed analysis of municipal politics in the same period, both in terms of the individual boroughs and of aggregate patterns of political behaviour.

A major work of reference, County Borough Elections in England and Wales, 1919–1938 is indispensable for university libraries and local and national record offices. Each volume has approximately 700 pages.

Cracks in the Dome: Fractured Histories of Empire in the Zanzibar Museum, 1897–1964 Sarah Longair, British Museum, UK

As one of the most recognisable landmarks from Zanzibar’s years as a British Protectorate, the distinctive domed building of the Peace Memorial Museum is widely known and admired by Zanzibaris and visitors alike. Yet the compelling history behind its construction and collection has been overlooked until now. Through vivid narratives involving people, objects and exhibits, this book exposes the fractures, contradictions and tensions in creating and maintaining a colonial museum, and casts light on the conflicted character of the ‘colonial mission’ in eastern Africa.




Culture and Propaganda The Progressive Origins of American Public Diplomacy, 1936–1953Sarah Ellen Graham, University of Sydney, Australia

Covering the crucial period between 1936 and 1953, this book explains how new notions of propaganda as reciprocal exchange, cultural engagement, and enlightening information paved the way for innovations in U.S. diplomatic practice. Through a comparative analysis of the State Department’s Division of Cultural Relations, the government radio station Voice of America, and drawing extensively on U.S. foreign policy archives, this book shows how America’s liberal traditions were reconciled with the task of influencing and attracting publics abroad.



Diplomacy, Roger Makins and the Anglo-American Relationship Richard Wevill

Roger Makins, British Ambassador to Washington 1953–1956, was one of the most prominent and powerful diplomats of his time. His career was unusual for a Foreign Office official, in that such a large part of it took place in Washington and London, and was centered on Anglo-American relationships. This book describes his life, times and the important players he dealt with on both sides of the Atlantic. It sheds light on how the ‘special relationship’ between Britain and America developed, and shows how great an impact a civil servant can have on policy.



Eurasian Slavery, Ransom and Abolition in World History, 1200–1860 Edited by Christoph Witzenrath, University of Aberdeen, UK

Recent research has demonstrated that early modern slavery was much more widespread than the traditional concentration on colonial plantation slavery might suggest. This volume provides both an overview and snapshot of current research on the history of captivity, slavery, ransom and abolition in the vicinity of the Eurasian steppe from the early modern period to modern times. The contributions centre on the Russian Empire, while bringing together scholars from various historical traditions of the leading states in this region, including Poland–Lithuania and the Ottoman Empire, and their various successor states.

MODERN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL HISTORYSeries Editor: Derek Aldcroft, University of Leicester, UK

Modern Economic and Social History encourages the publication of scholarly monographs on aspects of modern economic and social history. While emphasis is placed on works embodying original research, the series also provides studies of a more general and thematic nature which offer a reappraisal or critical analysis of major issues of debate.

Economic and social history has been a flourishing subject of scholarly study during recent decades. Not only has the volume of literature increased enormously but the range of interest in time, space and subject matter has broadened considerably so that today there are many sub-branches of the subject which have developed considerable status in their own right

Faded and Threadbare Historic Textiles and their Role in Houses Open to the Public Margaret Ponsonby, University of Wolverhampton, UK

Taking National Trust properties as its central focus, this book examines three interlocking themes to examine the role of historic textiles. It looks at houses with preserved contents together with the reasons for individual families choosing this lifestyle, the role of the National Trust as both guardian and interpreter of these houses and their collections, and finally, the influence of textiles to contribute to the appearance of interiors, and their physical attributes that carry historical resonances of the past.

From Popular Liberalism to National Socialism Religion, Culture and Politics in South-Western Germany, 1860s–1920sOded Heilbronner, Shenkar College of Engineering, Design and Art and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

This book investigates the development of what the author terms ‘popular liberalism’, in order to present a more nuanced understanding of political and cultural patterns in Germany up to the early 1930s. In particular, the author offers an explanation for the success of National Socialism before 1933 in certain regions of South Germany, arguing that the radical liberal sub-culture was not subsumed by the Nazi Party, but instead changed its form of representation. By looking afresh at the relationship between local-regional identities and national politics, this book makes a major contribution to the study of the roots of Nazism.




British Mail Steamers to South America, 1851–1965 A History of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company and Royal Mail LinesRobert E. Forrester

‘Forrester’s book is an excellent scholarly study … based on a thorough examination of all available sources, with the surviving company records proving a challenge in some ways. Until well into the twentieth century, Royal Mail’s annual reports and financial statements were generalized rather than detailed. In particular, it was often difficult to distinguish the financial performance of the South American routes within the general trading results of the company, but Forrester has made every effort to overcome this problem. The author has also done a good job of linking the history of Royal Mail to the changing political and economic fortunes of Brazil and Argentina over the years. All in all this useful study will be of interest to maritime, economic, and business historians.’

Journal of International Maritime History

During the nineteenth century the British government and the Admiralty provided large subsidies to commercial companies to run international mail services. Concentrating on the service between Britain and South America, this book explores the economic, maritime and political aspects of the Royal Mail Lines company between 1851 and 1965, and reveals the impacts that a long-distance mail service had upon travel, trade, commerce and the changing patterns of global information exchange.

From Rail to Road and Back Again? A Century of Transport Competition and Interdependency Edited by Ralf Roth, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University, Germany and Colin Divall, University of York, UK

In this volume, the mutual interdependence between road and rail transport is investigated, providing a fascinating reappraisal of the complex and shifting nature of European transportation over the last hundred years. The first half of the collection examines how railway companies reacted to increasing competition from road transport. The second part focuses on road mobility, a key success story of the twentieth century.




British Entrepreneurship in Poland A Case Study of Bradford Mills at Marki near Warsaw, 1883–1939Sarah Dietz

Drawing upon an impressive range of international sources, this book explores the late-nineteenth century partnership between Bradford worsted manufacturers the Briggs brothers and the German merchant Ernst Posselt, and their investment in a factory and workers’ community at Marki, near Warsaw in Poland. Against a backdrop of political instability and social upheaval, which dramatically impacted on business after 1905 and particularly during the interwar period of Poland’s Second Republic, Dietz examines the fortunes of an extraordinary enterprise which has been little researched in Poland and is largely unknown to British scholars.

THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE IN CONTEXTSeries Editors: Andrew Cunningham, University of Cambridge, UK and Ole Peter Grell, The Open University, UK

An interest in medicine is one of the constants that re-occurs throughout history. From the earliest times, man has sought ways to combat the myriad of diseases and ailments that afflict the human body, resulting in a number of evolving and often competing philosophies and practices whose repercussions spread far beyond the strictly medical sphere.

For more than a decade The History of Medicine in Context series has provided a unique platform for the publication of research pertaining to the study of medicine from broad social, cultural, political, religious and intellectual perspectives. Offering cutting-edge scholarship on a range of medical subjects that cross chronological, geographical and disciplinary boundaries, the series consistently challenges received views about medical history and shows how medicine has had a much more pronounced effect on western society than is often acknowledged. As medical knowledge progresses, throwing up new challenges and moral dilemmas, The History of Medicine in Context series offers the opportunity to evaluate the shifting role and practice of medicine from the long perspective, not only providing a better understanding of the past, but often an intriguing perspective on the present.

Geography, Technology and Instruments of Exploration Edited by Fraser MacDonald and Charles W.J. Withers, both at University of Edinburgh, UK

STUDIES IN HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY

‘Inquisitive scientific travellers have long depended on robustly reliable hardware to turn their remarkable experiences into convincing reports. This impressive collection makes sense of how such devices work and offers a major challenge to images of the solitary voyagers of past sciences. The book is stocked with revealing stories of these mobile instruments’ very wide range of uses, tales of frustration and improvisation as well as of triumph and success.’

Simon Schaffer, University of Cambridge, UK

The collection brings together scholars in the history of geographical exploration, historians of science, historians of technology and, importantly, experts with curatorial responsibilities for, and museological expertise in, major instrument collections. Ranging in their focus from studies of astronomical practice to seismography, meteorological instruments and rockets, from radar to the hand-held barometer, the chapters of this book examine the ways in which instruments and questions of technology – too often overlooked hitherto – offer insight into the connections between geography and exploration.




Germans as Minorities during the First World War A Global Comparative PerspectiveEdited by Panikos Panayi, De Montfort University, UK

Offering a global comparative perspective on the relationship between German minorities and the majority populations amongst which they found themselves during the First World War, this collection addresses how ‘public opinion’ (the press, parliament and ordinary citizens) reacted towards Germans in their midst. The volume uses the experience of Germans to explore whether the War can be regarded as a turning point in the mistreatment of minorities, one that would lead to worse manifestations of racism, nationalism and xenophobia later in the twentieth century.



The Greening of London, 1920–2000 Matti O. Hannikainen

‘Deeply researched, this account makes a vital contribution to our understanding of where we are now in the fight to sustain green space in a major capital city.’

Helen Meller, University of Nottingham, UK

The long-term development of public green spaces in London during the twentieth century is a curiously neglected subject, despite the fact that various kinds of green spaces cover huge areas in cities. Building on case studies of the contemporary boroughs of Camden and Southwark and making use of a wealth of archival material, the author takes us through the planning and creation stages, to the intended uses and ongoing management of the spaces. It makes a crucial contribution to academic as well as political discourse on the history and present role of green space in sustainable cities.




The British Pharmacopoeia, 1864 to 2014 Medicines, International Standards and the StateAnthony C. Cartwright

The British Pharmacopoeia has provided official standards for the quality of substances and articles used in medicine since its first publication. Cartwright explores how these standards have been achieved through a comprehensive review of the history and development of pharmacopoeias in the UK. The book, which places the British Pharmacopoeia in its global context as an instrument of the British Empire, will be of value to historians of medicine and pharmacy and practitioners of medicine, pharmacy and pharmaceutical analytical chemistry.




The Fate of Anatomical Collections Edited by Rina Knoeff, University of Groningen, The Netherlands and Robert Zwijnenberg, Leiden University, The Netherlands

This volume explores the changing status of anatomical collections from the early modern period to date. It is argued that anatomical and pathological collections are medically relevant for future research, and are important in the history of medicine, the cultural history of the body, and the history of the institutions to which they belong. In considering the fate of anatomical collections – and the importance of keeper’s decisions with respect to collections – this volume will make an important methodological contribution to the study of collections and to discussions on how to preserve universities’ academic heritage.




Suzanne Noël: Cosmetic Surgery, Feminism and Beauty in Early Twentieth-Century France Paula J. Martin, Georgia Southwestern State University, USA

Working at the forefront of cosmetic surgery at the turn of the twentieth century, Suzanne Noël was both a pioneer in her medical field and a firm believer in the advancement of women. Today her views on the benefits of aesthetic surgery to women may seem at odds with her feminist principles, but by placing Noël in the context of turn-of-the-century French culture, this book is able to demonstrate how these two worldviews were reconciled. This book sheds much valuable light on advances in aesthetic surgery, twentieth-century beauty culture, women and the public sphere, and the ‘New Woman’.






Handbook of World Exchange Rates, 1590–1914 Markus A. Denzel, University of Leipzig, Germany

‘Every academic historian working in the three centuries before the First World War will need to buy this book, and by every I mean, every, as this is a necessary reference tool for political and cultural historians as well as economic and social historians. Political historians will need to know the fiscal power of their subjects compared with their contemporaries, art and architectural historians will need to be able to place the values and costs of the objects and buildings of their study in an international context, for art as much as politics knows no frontiers.’

Peter Spufford, Bankhistoriches Archiv

As a world economy emerged from the 16th-17th centuries onwards, a global cashless payment system arose. This had its base in Europe, first in Italy, then in the rising regions of the north-west, with Amsterdam and then London as the central financial market. The mutual quotation of exchange rates, which provide the data tabulated and analysed here, mark the integration into a global network of all areas with significant economic potential.

The primary aim of this book is to provide a compact account of the exchange rates in all these financial markets, from the late 16th century up to the First World War. This makes possible an instant conversion between the major world currencies at nearly any date within that period, while the important introduction provides the explanation and context of developments. The present handbook therefore serves as an invaluable resource for those concerned with all aspects of commercial and financial history.

How Outer Space Made America Geography, Organization and the Cosmic SublimeDaniel Sage, Loughborough University, UK

‘Daniel Sage’s How Outer Space Made America is a theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich account of how America and Americans took to Space. Eschewing accounts that over-determine the militaristic, the nationalistic and the imperialistic, emphasis is given to the manner in which art, religion, popular culture, museums, political speeches and journalism helped to complicate this engagement with the vertical and cosmic frontiers of the United States. A really good read and a book that is as much a tale about outer space as it is a provocation to those interested in theorising geo-power, affect, and the transcendental state.’

Klaus Dodds, Royal Holloway University of London, UK

In this innovatory book Daniel Sage analyses how and why American space exploration reproduced and transformed American cultural and political imaginations by appealing to, and to an extent organizing, the transcendence of spatial and temporal frontiers. While largely engaging with the historical development of space exploration, it shows how contemporary cultural and social, and indeed geographical, research themes, including national identity, critical geopolitics, gender, technocracy, trauma and memory, can be informed by the study of space exploration.




Information Beyond Borders International Cultural and Intellectual Exchange in the Belle ÉpoqueEdited by W. Boyd Rayward, University of New South Wales, Australia and University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA

‘Historians are showing that the globalization of information is not a unique historical feature of the contemporary era, but a recurrent construction possessing many facets and unsuspected properties – including a longstanding utopian element. The contributors to this fine collection unearth a revealing series of cultural, intellectual, and technological projects to universalize information systems during the decades before World War I and, in the process, give us new ways of understanding the lineages of our own time.’

Dan Schiller, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA

This book analyzes the dynamics of the emerging networks of individuals, organizations, technologies and publications by which means information was exchanged across and through all kinds of borders and boundaries in this period. It extends the frame within which historical discourse about information can take place by bringing together scholars not only from different disciplines but also from different national and linguistic backgrounds. It will be of interest to scholars and students of information history and the emergence of the information society as well as to social and cultural historians concerned with the late 19th and early 20th century.




Little ‘Red Scares’ Anti-Communism and Political Repression in the United States, 1921–1946Edited by Robert Justin Goldstein, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA

‘Little ‘Red Scares’ is a welcome addition … Generations of historians, and volumes such as [this] have done much to expose the invidious ends and disingenuous tactics of American anti-communists.’

Reviews in History

Anti-communism has long been a potent force in American politics, capable of gripping both government and popular attention. Nowhere is this more evident that the two great ‘red scares’ of 1919–20 and 1946–54; the latter generally – if somewhat inaccurately – termed McCarthyism. By focusing on the interim period between the two major ‘red scares’, this volume makes clear that the lingering effects of 1919–20 and the gathering storm-clouds of ‘McCarthyism’ were clearly visible throughout the 20s and 30s. In so doing the rationale and motivations for the ‘red scares’ are contextualised as part of an evolving political narrative, rather than as isolated bouts of hysteria exploding onto – and then vanishing from – the political landscape.




The ‘Long 1970s’: Human Rights, East-West Détente and Transnational Relations Edited by Poul Villaume, Rasmus Mariager and Helle Porsdam, all University of Copenhagen, Denmark

‘This is a genuinely innovative international project that breaks much new ground, and gives fresh insights into the long 1970s. It looks at ideas about human rights as well as the practical, transnational politics surrounding human rights issues in European and Trans-Atlantic relations.’

Anne Deighton, Wolfson College, University of Oxford, UK

The contributors to this volume explore the socio-economic and socio-cultural processes of political-cultural realignment and their social impetus in Western Europe and the Euro-Atlantic area in and around the 1970s in the context of three agenda-setting topics of international history of this period: human rights, including the impact of decolonisation; East-West détente in Europe; and transnational relations and discourses.



Manhood and the Making of the Military Conscription, Military Service and Masculinity in Finland, 1917–39Anders Ahlbäck, Åbo Akademi University, Finland

The creation of Finland’s national conscription army in the wake of its independence from Russia in 1917 aroused intense but conflicting emotions. This book examines the struggles of a new army to find popular acceptance and support, and explores the ways that images of manhood were used in the controversies. Ahlbäck places the situation of interwar Finland within a broad European context to reveal the conflicts surrounding compulsory military service and the impact of the Great War on masculinities and constructions of gender.






Methodists and their Missionary Societies 1900–1996 John Pritchard, Methodist Minister, UK

ASHGATE METHODIST STUDIES SERIES

‘… this book offers a comprehensive overview of a world-changing movement – a story packed with heroism, mistakes, achievements, frustrations, and arguments. … I would recommend this title for graduate level students who are specializing in church history.’ Mission Studies

This book examines the contribution of the Methodist Missionary Society (and its predecessors before 1932) to world-changing movements, from the remarkable mass conversions in south-west China and west Africa early in the century to the controversy over grants to liberation movements in the 1970s and 1980s. This is a ground-breaking study of the Methodist Missionary Societies in the twentieth century, how it adjusted to changing circumstances – including the forced withdrawals from China and Burma – and developed new initiatives and partnerships.

Museums and the Future of Collecting SECOND EDITION

Edited by Simon J. Knell, University of Leicester, UK

‘Museums and the Future of Collecting is produced in paperback at an affordable price; this should enable this volume of essays to feature on every curator’s bookshelf, where it deserves to be.’

Journal of the Society of Archivists

Collecting is a key function of museums. Its apparent simplicity belies a complexity of questions and issues which make all collecting imprecise and unrepresentative. Museums and the Future of Collecting exposes the many meanings of collections, the different perspectives taken by different cultures, and the institutional response to the collecting problem. One major concern is omission, whether this be determined by politics, professional ethics, the law or social agenda.

Museums and the Future of Collecting encourages museums to move away from the collecting of isolated tokens; to move beyond the collecting policy and to understand more clearly the intellectual function of what they do. Here examples are given from Australia, Sweden, Canada, Spain, Britain and Croatia which provide this intellectual understanding and many practical tools for evaluating a future collecting strategy.

The Museums of Contemporary Art Notion and DevelopmentJ. Pedro Lorente, Universidad de Zaragoza, Spain

‘A visually appealing and elegant volume, with the addition of thirty-two half-page black pencil drawings which help show the significance of architecture in this history of museums of contemporary art, The Museums of Contemporary Art is clearly the product of a great deal of careful research. … To conclude, Lorente’s work successfully illuminates an area in the history of museums of contemporary art. With the addition of a 16-page multilingual bibliography as one of its many strengths, this volume is an appropriate current reference towards understanding the high stakes of the cultural game in a renewed debate of the role and purposes of museums of art.’

Museum & Society

Where, how, by whom and for what were the first museums of contemporary art created? These are the key questions addressed by Pedro Lorente in this new and expanded edition of his ground-breaking 1998 study, Cathedrals of Urban Modernity. In it he explores the concept and history of museums of contemporary art, and the shifting ways in which they have been imagined and presented. The first part of the book examines the paradigm of the Musée des Artistes Vivants in Paris and its equivalents in the rest of Europe during the nineteenth century. The second part, consisting of entirely new material, takes the story from 1930 to the present. An epilogue reviews recent museum developments in the last decades.




Music and Exile in Francoist Spain Eva Moreda Rodriguez, University of Glasgow, UK

As the first English-language monograph to explore the connections of Spanish exiled composers with their homeland throughout 1939–1975 from the perspectives of historiography, music criticism, performance and correspondence, Eva Moreda Rodriguez’s vivid reconception of the role of place and nation in twentieth-century music history will be of particular interest for scholars of Spanish music, Spanish Republican history, and exile and displacement more broadly. Its explorations significantly further academic research on individual composers including Salvador Bacarisse, Julián Bautista, Roberto Gerhard, Rodolfo Halffter, Julián Orbón and Adolfo Salazar.

Includes 12 music examples



Music, Art and Diplomacy: East-West Cultural Interactions and the Cold War Edited by Simo Mikkonen, University of Jyväskylä, Finland and Pekka Suutari, University of Eastern Finland

This edited volume shows how a vibrant field of cultural exchange between East and West was taking place during the Cold War, which contrasts with the orthodox understanding of two divided and antithetical blocs. The series of case studies on cultural exchanges, focusing on the decades following the Second World War, cover episodes involving art, classical music, theatre, dance and film. Contributors explore the interaction of arts and politics, the role of the arts in diplomacy and the part the arts played in the development of the Cold War.



Neville Chamberlain A Biography Robert Self, London Metropolitan University, UK

‘Neville Chamberlain: A Biography embodies a remarkable feat of primary research, as thorough and clear-sighted as it is extensive. Self not only sifts the most telling evidence from the enormous mass of Chamberlain’s own papers and other familiar collections, but has also found revealing material which will be new to historians of inter-war British politics…’

English Historical Review

Neville Chamberlain was a truly pivotal figure in British and International politics, with a long and distinguished career in government. Yet despite this record, he generally is only remembered for his trip to Munich in 1938 and the appeasement of Hitler. In this biography the whole of Chamberlain’s political career is examined and put into its national and international context to provide a much fuller and fairer account of his life and career than has hitherto been available.

The Next War in the Air Britain’s Fear of the Bomber, 1908–1941Brett Holman, University of New England, Australia

‘The great pleasure of his book is the cacophony of individual voices it entertains: a babble of speculation concerning the methods, up to and including a version of drone warfare, by which the world would very shortly be brought to an end.’

London Review of Books

In the early twentieth century, the technology of flight changed warfare. Writers argued that the main strategic risk to Britain was the possibility of a sudden, destructive aerial bombardment of Britain’s cities. For the first time, The Next War in the Air draws on archival documents and publications from 1908–1941 to reconstruct the concept of the knock-out blow as it was articulated in the public sphere, the reasons why it came to be so widely accepted, and the way it shaped the responses of the British public to some of the great issues facing them in the 1930s.

Nordic Dance Spaces Practicing and Imagining a RegionEdited by Karen Vedel, University of Copenhagen, Denmark and Petri Hoppu, University of Tampere, Finland

THE NORDIC EXPERIENCE

Dance has been connected to the practices and ideologies that have shaped notions of a Nordic region for more than a century and it is ingrained into the culture and society of the region. This book investigates different dance phenomena that have either engaged with or dismantled notions of Nordicness. Looking to the motion of dancers and dance forms between different locations, organizations and networks of individuals, this book opens a rare window into Nordic culture seen through the prism of dance.




Painting, Politics, and the New Front of Cold War Italy Adrian R. Duran, University of Nebraska-Omaha, USA

The first English-language monograph on Il Fronte Nuovo delle Arti, this study explores the rise and fall of this postwar Italian artists’ group as a representative instance of the tensions facing Italian painting during the transition out of two decades of Fascism and into the global divisions of the Cold War. Adrian Duran argues that the binary structures of the era - realism vs. abstraction, Communism vs. democracy, conformism vs. freedom – have monopolized the discourse surrounding the Fronte Nuovo and, with it, the historiography of Italian painting during this period, 1944–50.

The Paris Zone A Cultural History, 1840–1944James Cannon, La Trobe University, Australia

‘For over a century, the Parisian zone was an extraordinary place, seen as the dreadful heart of the French underworld, and filled with dropouts, gypsies, vagrants, ragpickers, pimps and prostitutes. James Cannon’s book is a reliable and remarkable guide into this devastated landscape. It explains the making of this new Cour des miracles, nourished by hundreds of novels, songs, poems, press reports, photographs, films, etc. But Cannon also knows that no imaginary is univocal and he shows how the zone was also a place of social solidarity and mutual aid, a vast playground and a place of entertainment for the popular classes. A brilliant and strongly documented study on one of the major myths of Parisian life.’

Dominique Kalifa, Panthéon-Sorbonne University, France

Since the mid-1970s, the term zone has often been associated with the post-war housing estates on the outskirts of large French cities. However, it once referred to a more circumscribed space: the zone non aedificandi (non-building zone) which encircled Paris (1840–1940). This unusual territory came to occupy a central place in Parisian culture. By analysing a wider range of sources from the duration of the zone’s existence, this study offers a nuanced account of how the area was perceived by successive generations of Parisian novelists, poets, songwriters, artists, photographers, film-makers, politicians and town-planners.




Camera Graeca: Photographs, Narratives, Materialities Edited by Philip Carabott and Eleni Papargyriou, both at King’s College London, UK and Yannis Hamilakis, University of Southampton, UK

Modern Greece and photography are almost peers: both are cultural products of the 1830s, and both actively converse with modernity. This is the first inter-disciplinary volume to examine Greece’s entanglement with photography. The book argues that photographs and the photographic process have been instrumental in the reproduction of national imagination, in the consolidation of the nation-building process, and in the dissemination of propaganda. It is argued that the photographic field constitutes a site of memory and counter-memory, where social actors stake their discursive, material, and practical claims.




When Greeks and Turks Meet Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Relationship Since 1923Edited by Vally Lytra, Goldsmiths University of London, UK

‘… a wide ranging and substantial survey of Greek and Turkish contacts, quarrels and mutual perception since the 1923 Lausanne convention on the exchange of population. It is very much an academic book, fully referenced, up to date with recent theoretical work on matters such as identity, self perceptions, stereotypes, discursie spaces, discourses of exclusion, and all the rest.’

The Anglo-Hellenic Review

This book addresses a gap in scholarly literature by bringing together specialists from different disciplinary traditions – history, sociology, anthropology, linguistics, literature, ethnomusicology and international relations – so as to examine the complex relationship between the culture and peoples of Greece, Turkey and Cyprus, since the founding of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, and to question essentialist representations, stereotypes and dominant myths. The collection offers essential reading for students and researchers in inter-cultural communication, language, international relations, and conflict studies.

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE, 1700–1945Series Editors: Robert M. Brain, University of British Columbia, Canada and Ernst Hamm, York University, Canada

Science, Technology and Culture, 1700–1945 focuses on the social, cultural, industrial and economic contexts of science and technology from the ‘scientific revolution’ up to the Second World War. Publishing lively, original, innovative research across a broad spectrum of subjects and genres by an international list of authors, the series has a global compass that concerns the development of modern science in all regions of the world. Subjects may range from close studies of particular sciences and problems to cultural and social histories of science, technology and biomedicine; accounts of scientific travel and exploration; transnational histories of scientific and technological change; monographs examining instruments, their makers and users; the material and visual cultures of science; contextual studies of institutions and of individual scientists, engineers and popularizers of science; and well-edited volumes of essays on themes in the field.

Pevsner: The BBC Years Listening to the Visual ArtsStephen Games, New Premises Design Studio, UK

‘Stephen Games is a leading authority on the life and work of Nikolaus Pevsner and this lucid and immensely readable history is as fascinating as it is informative. We learn much of Pevsner’s work as a broadcaster but at the same time the post-war BBC and British society is revealed in this very detailed account. The fascination of Stephen Games’ authoritative account of Pevsner’s BBC career is how much we learn about the BBC itself and post-war Britain. This is a thoughtful and perceptive contribution to the field which will be seized on by broadcasting historians.’

Hugh Chignell, Bournemouth University, UK

This book looks at the rise in Pevsner’s standing at the BBC, at what he was admired for, and at the circumstances surrounding his being commissioned, in the mid-1950s, to give the first series of Reith Lectures on an arts subject. It also documents the unravelling of Pevsner’s reputation, showing how he was caught between changing fashions in media culture and doubts about the safety of his ideas, both within the BBC and, externally, by British conservatives who found him too radical and American radicals who found him too conservative.



Random Riches Gambling Past & PresentEdited by Manfred Zollinger, Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Austria

Gambling is a fascinating subject which for many centuries has attracted public interest. Yet, despite its ubiquity, gambling leads a marginal existence within the boundaries of scholarly research. This title promotes a historical understanding of the subject enriched with a diverse academic approach that draws upon sociology, economics and psychology. This volume charts the development of European gambling culture from the medieval to modern times. In so doing it provides essential context for both historical and current debates about the nature of gambling and lotteries, addiction to gambling, poverty and social degradation on the fringes of the welfare state.




Barcelona: An Urban History of Science and Modernity, 1888–1929 Edited by Oliver Hochadel, Institució Milà i Fontanals in Barcelona, Spain and Agustí Nieto-Galan, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain

The four decades between the two Universal Exhibitions of 1888 and 1929 were formative in the creation of modern Barcelona. Architecture and art blossomed in the work of Antoni Gaudí and many others. At the same time, social unrest tore the city apart. Topics such as art nouveau and anarchism have attracted the attention of numerous historians. Yet the crucial role of science, technology and medicine in the cultural makeup of the city has been largely ignored. The ten articles of this book recover the richness and complexity of the scientific culture of fin de siècle Barcelona. This volume shows that the city around 1900 was both a creator and facilitator of knowledge but also a space substantially transformed by the appropriation of this knowledge by its unruly citizens.




From Local Patriotism to a Planetary Perspective Impact Crater Research in Germany, 1930s–1970sMartina Kölbl-Ebert, Jura-Museum Eichstätt, Germany

‘I strongly recommend this book on the basis of its topic and its larger themes, but also on the strength of its scholarship. Scholars working on other aspects of German participation in geoscience will discover a great deal of useful information in Martina Kölbl-Ebert’s study of the impact/volcanic controversy as it unfolded around these specific locales in Germany.’

International Commission on the History of the Geological Sciences

The Nördlinger Ries and Steinheim Basin, two geological structures in Germany, were traditionally viewed as volcanic edifices until they were recognized as impact craters in the 1960s. The changing views about the craters’ origins mark a paradigm shift in the Earth sciences, from an Earth-centric approach to a planetary perspective that acknowledged Earth’s place in the cosmos. Drawing on a range of printed sources and archival material, Kölbl-Ebert provides a reconstruction of the sequence of events as well as the emotions and motives of the scientists involved and the social context of their research.




Science Policies and Twentieth-Century Dictatorships Spain, Italy and ArgentinaEdited by Amparo Gómez and Antonio Fco. Canales, both at the Universidad de La Laguna, Spain and Brian Balmer, University College London, UK

Making a fresh contribution to the political history of science, this book explores the connections between the science policies of three countries that each experienced considerable political upheaval in the twentieth century: Spain, Italy and Argentina. By focussing on these three countries, the contributors are able to present case studies that highlight the characteristics and specificities of the democratic and dictatorial political processes involved in the production of science and technology.





Reconstructing Italy The Ina-Casa Neighborhoods of the Postwar EraStephanie Zeier Pilat, University of Oklahoma, USA

ASHGATE STUDIES IN ARCHITECTURE

This book examines what made Ina-Casa a success among so many failed housing experiments, focusing on the tenuous balance struck between the legislation governing Ina-Casa, the architects who led the Ina-Casa administration, the theory of design that guided architects working on the plan, and an analysis of the results-the neighborhoods and homes constructed. Drawing on the writings of the architects, government documents, and including brief passages from works of neorealist literature and descriptions of neorealist films by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Italo Calvino and others, this book presents a portrait of the postwar struggle to define a post-Fascist Italy.




Religion and Society in the Diocese of St Davids 1485–2011 Edited by William Gibson, Oxford Brookes University, UK and John Morgan-Guy, University of Wales Trinity St David, UK

‘This is history at its best - it’s local yet set against the broad backdrop of national and international developments. It offers an impressive accumulation of detail without losing sight of the bigger picture. And its imposing range of contributors, under the watchful eye of its editors, avoid the usual jumpiness of such volumes and manage to produce a silky smooth text that is at once instructive and compelling.

Lord Griffiths of Burry Port, Superintendent Minister of Wesley’s Chapel, London, UK

During the medieval and early modern periods the Welsh diocese of St Davids was one of the largest in the country and the most remote. As this collection makes clear, this combination of factors resulted in a religious life which was less regulated by the institutional forces of Church and State. Addressing key ideas in the development of popular religious culture and the stubborn continuity of long-lasting religious practices into the modern era, the volume shows how the diocese was also a locus for continuing major religious controversies, especially in the nineteenth century.



Shi’i Reformation in Iran The Life and Theology of Shari’at SangelajiAli Rahnema, The American University of Paris, France

ASHGATE NEW CRITICAL THINKING IN RELIGION, THEOLOGY AND BIBLICAL STUDIES

‘…an important and well-researched study about one of the eminent Shi’i reformers in twentieth-century Iran. It appears at the right time when the monolithic appearing leadership of 12er Emami Shi’ism in Iran has come under increasing pressure to defend their dogmatic and intellectual position in their teaching against the different challenges in a modern, more globalised world. The book deals extensively with issues of dogma and methodology in Shi’ism which Shari’at Sangelaji, himself a jurist, tried to reform and steer towards monotheistic rationalism, cleared from much of the ballast collected on its long journey through history. This study will undoubtedly encourage and contribute to the debate about the ways and methods how the Shi’i community should be guided in future.’

Paul Luft, Durham University, UK

In Shi’i Reformation in Iran, Rahnema offers a fresh understanding of Sangelaji’s reformist discourse from a theological standpoint, and takes readers into the heart of the key religious debates in Iran in the 1940s. Drawing on the writings of Sangelaji, as well as interviews with his son, the book provides a comprehensive introduction to the reformist’s ideas. As such it offers scholars of religion and Middle Eastern politics alike a penetrating insight into the impact that these ideas have had on Shi’ism - an impact which is still felt today.

Paul Watt, Monash University, Australia

Using a collection of over one thousand popular songs from the war years, as well as around 150 soldiers’ songs, John Mullen provides a fascinating insight into the world of popular entertainment during the First World War. He considers the position of songs of this time within the history of popular music, and the needs, tastes and experiences of their working-class audiences. He assesses the different genres of musical entertainment which were common in the war years and presents a subtle and nuanced approach to the nature of popular song, the ways in which audiences related to the music and the effects of the competing pressures of commerce, propaganda, patriotism, social attitudes and the progress of the war.

Small Navies Strategy and Policy for Small Navies in War and PeaceEdited by Michael Mulqueen, Liverpool Hope University, UK, Deborah Sanders, King’s College London, UK and Ian Speller, National University of Ireland Maynooth, Ireland

CORBETT CENTRE FOR MARITIME POLICY STUDIES SERIES

History shows how relatively small naval forces can have a disproportionately large impact on global events. This collection, which adopts an interdisciplinary approach drawing on the best new research from the fields of international relations, security studies, strategic studies and maritime history, addresses the roles and activities of small navies in the past and the present, and investigates the relationship of such navies with non-governmental institutions in pursuit of broader maritime goals, be they political, financial or environmental.




Social Inequalities and Discontent in Yugoslav Socialism Edited by Rory Archer, University of Graz, Igor Duda, University of Pula and Paul Stubbs, The Institute of Economics, Zagreb

SOUTHEAST EUROPEAN STUDIES

Through case studies from a range of social millieux, contributors to this volume seek to ‘bring class back in’ to Yugoslav historiography, exploring how theorisations of social class informed the politics and policies of social mobility and conversely, how societal or grassroots understandings of class have influenced politics and policy. Rather than focusing on regional differentiation between Yugoslav republics and provinces the emphasis is placed on social differentiation and discontent within particular communities. Voices of a wide spectrum of informants are included in the volume; from factory workers and subsistence farmers to fictional television characters and pop-folk music superstars.





Taming China’s Wilderness Immigration, Settlement and the Shaping of the Heilongjiang Frontier, 1900–1931Patrick Fuliang Shan, Grand Valley State University, USA

‘Patrick Fuliang Shan’s new book on the Heilongjiang frontier in the early twentieth century is a wonderful addition to the field of Chinese history and of borderland studies. Combining careful research with theoretical sophistication, it brings China’s periphery to the centre of the debate over nation-formation and state-building.’

Rana Mitter, University of Oxford, UK

For most of its rule, the Qing dynasty (1644–1911) – whose historical homeland was in Heilongjiang – enforced a policy that prohibited Chinese immigration and settlement and maintained the region’s reputation as the Great Northern Wilderness. Covering the period between the reversal of the anti-immigration policy in 1900 and the Japanese annexation of Heilongjiang into their Manchuko state in 1931, this book investigates a territory undergoing rapid and sustained change, and adds to the on-going scholarly interest in border and frontier studies.



A Taste of Progress: Food at International and World Exhibitions in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries Edited by Nelleke Teughels and Peter Scholliers, both at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium

World exhibitions have been widely acknowledged as important sources for understanding the development of the modern consumer and urbanized society, yet whilst the function and purpose of architecture at these major events has been well-studied, the place of food has received very little attention. Food stood as a powerful semiotic device for communicating and maintaining conceptions of identity, history, traditions and progress, of inclusion and exclusion, making it a valuable tool for researching the construction of national or corporate sentiments. Combining recent developments in food studies and the history of major international exhibitions, this volume provides a refreshing alternative view of these international and intercultural spectacles.




The Mediterranean Fleet, 1930–1939 Paul G. Halpern, Professor Emeritus, Florida State University, USA

NAVY RECORDS SOCIETY PUBLICATIONS

The Mediterranean Fleet entered the 1930s looking back to the lessons of Jutland and the First World War but also seeking to incorporate new technologies, notably air power. Unfortunately in the depression years of the early 1930s there was a lack of funds to remedy deficiencies. The problem became critical during the Abyssinian crisis of 1935. In addition to the Spanish Civil War there was an increase of tension with Germany in 1938 that culminated with the Czechoslovak crisis in September. The situation of the Mediterranean Fleet and its possible actions had the Munich agreement not been reached are described. The Spanish Civil War ended in 1939 with the victory of the Nationalists and the Mediterranean Fleet was again involved in evacuations. By now the prospect of war with Germany and possibly Italy was quite clear and serious preparations for war continued. The plans for war in the Mediterranean are reproduced in detail.

Includes 7 maps



The Tory World Deep History and the Tory Theme in British Foreign Policy, 1679–2014Edited by Jeremy Black, University of Exeter, UK

Working forward from the later seventeenth century, contributors to this volume explore the ‘deep history’ of the changing and competing understandings within the Tory party of the role Britain has aspired to play on a world stage. With a supporting cast from Pitt to Disraeli, Churchill to Thatcher, the book provides a fascinating insight into the influence of history over politics, and seeks to understand how the Tory party has sought to navigate its way through the difficult pathways of foreign and imperial politics.

Visual Propaganda, Exhibitions, and the Spanish Civil War Miriam M. Basilio, New York University, USA

‘… Basilio is an interpreter of remarkable detail when it comes to the visual image. The strength of this book is in its thoroughness and in Basilio’s transmission of a visual historical record that has not as yet been widely available.’

Curator: The Museum Journal

Visual Propaganda, Exhibitions, and the Spanish Civil War is a history of art during wartime that analyzes images in various media that circulated widely and were encountered daily by Spaniards on city walls, in print, and in exhibitions. The book draws on extensive archival research, brings to light unpublished documents, and examines visual propaganda, exhibitions, and texts unavailable in English. It engages with questions of national self-definition and historical memory at their intersections with the fine arts, visual culture, exhibition history, tourism, and propaganda during the Spanish Civil War and immediate post-war period, as well as contemporary responses to the contested legacy of the Spanish Civil War. It will be of interest to scholars in art history, visual and cultural history, history, and museum studies.

Visualizing Haiti in U.S. Culture, 1910–1950 Lindsay J. Twa, Augustana College, Sioux Falls, USA

From the 1910s until the 1950s the Caribbean nation of Haiti drew the attention of many U.S. literary and artistic luminaries, yet while significant studies have been published on Haiti’s history, none analyze visual representations with any depth. This book argues that choosing Haiti as subject matter was a highly charged decision by American artists to use their artwork to engage racial, social, and political issues. Twa scrutinizes photographs, illustrations, paintings, and theatre as well as textual and archival sources.

The Wilson–Johnson Correspondence, 1964–69 Edited by Simon C. Smith, University of Hull, UK

To provide a better understanding of Anglo-American relations at a pivotal moment, this volume provides all the correspondence between Harold Wilson and Lyndon B. Johnson from the time Wilson became Prime Minister (October 1964) until Johnson stepped down as President (January 1969). Whilst the United States was a superpower on the rise and Britain a declining influence on the world stage, the letters reveal that Johnson was eager for international allies and that Wilson possessed an independence which belies his image as a puppet of the President.





SERIES www.ashgate.com/transportandsociety

Women in Law and Lawmaking in Nineteenth and Twentieth-Century Europe Edited by Eva Schandevyl, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium

Exploring the relationship between gender and law in Europe from the nineteenth century to the present, this collection examines the feminisation of justice, its historical beginnings, and the impact of gendered constructions on jurisprudence. Every chapter addresses these issues from the point of view of women’s legal history or gendered legal cultures. With contributions from scholars with expertise in the major regions of Europe, this book is sensitive to the intersection of gender theory, legal studies and public policy, and is based on historical methodologies.



Women in War Examples from Norway and BeyondEdited by Kjersti Ericsson, University of Oslo, Norway

‘A fascinating and timely collection that applies distinctive disciplinary lenses from criminology and international relations to the theme of women and war. The book uses the focus on Norway as a single national context to illuminate key debates around agency, including complicity and resistance, sexual exploitation and political choices, on the one hand, and memory and history, and their gendered treatment on the other.’

Erica Burman, University of Manchester, UK

This book examines what happens to women and gender relations in times of upheaval, and is based on the experience of Norway during World War II, as well as on wars both past and present in other parts of the world. The collection discusses the various roles of women during war and explores whether gendered cultural conceptions influence the way war is remembered and represented, both collectively and individually. The book also follows the struggle to bring women’s role in war and peacebuilding onto the international agenda.




Critical Geographies of Cycling History, Political Economy and CultureGlen Norcliffe, York University, Canada

‘The essays presented in this book provide a valuable resource for cycling history and culture. Glen Norcliffe is respected both as a geographer and cycling historian, while his own geographical position, Canada, is unusual in cycling history. A particular strength of much of the content here is its wide geographical range, often global in scope, and its engagement with topics that all too often are the stuff of hearsay, rather than structured academic research.’

Nicholas Oddy, Glasgow School of Art, UK

Examining cycling from a range of geographical perspectives, this book uses historical and contemporary case studies to look at the history, politics, economy and culture of cycling. Pursuing a post-structural position in viewing understandings of the bicycle as contingent upon time and place, author Glen Norcliffe argues for the need for widespread processes such as gendered use of the bicycle, the Cyclists’ Rights Movement, and the globalization of bicycle-making to be interpreted in different ways in different settings.




Transport Policy: Learning Lessons from History Edited by Colin Divall, University of York, UK, Julian Hine, University of Ulster, UK and Colin Pooley, Lancaster University, UK

‘The rich historical experiences and the means by which the present can learn from the past provide the source material for this diverse and engaging set of essays. It successfully captures societal concerns over disadvantage and marginalisation, the quality of everyday life, and how marketing shapes the ways in which we think about travel.’

David Banister, University of Oxford, UK

The key aim of this volume is to demonstrate ways in which an understanding of history can be used to inform present-day transport and mobility policies. arguing that in many contexts of transport planning a better understanding of the context and consequences of past decisions and processes could lead to more effective policy decisions. Collectively the authors explore the ways in which the methods and approaches of historical research may be applied to contemporary transport and policy issues across a wide range of transport modes and contexts.
