HISTORY OF SLAvERY3

Gwyn Campbell, Suzanne Miers, and Joseph C. Miller, eds.

Children in Slavery through the Ages

“This anthology epitomizes the strengths of the new history of slavery … an emphasis on the actual experience of enslavement and on enslaved peoples as active agents with their own distinct voices.”— Steven Mintz

The collected essays in Children in Slavery through the Ages fundamentally reconstruct our understanding of enslavement by exploring the often-ignored role of children in slavery and rejecting the tendency to narrowly equate slavery with the forced labor of adult males. The volume’s historical angle highlights many implications of child slavery by examining the variety of children’s roles — as manual laborers and domestic servants to court entertainers and eunuchs — and the worldwide regions in which the child slave trade existed.

Catherine Higgs

Chocolate IslandsCocoa, Slavery, and Colonial Africa

“Higgs has combined careful academic research with the kind of skillful writing you’d expect in a good historical novel…. The book is strikingly relevant to today’s headlines. It is an excellent study for academics who want to know how to research at a professional level and then write well for the public, and it will strongly appeal to general readers.”— Book News

“Higgs offers a well-researched examination of the dynamics of race, labor, and colonialism in the early part of the twentieth century.” — Booklist

“Catherine Higgs writes about the chocolate islands with clarity and conviction, command-ing the evidence while presenting an argument about the ‘dignity of labor’ with an elegance of style. In terms of presentation, research and structure, the book is a tour de force.”— David Birmingham, author of Portugal and Africa and Trade and Empire in the Atlantic, 1400 to 1600

Trafficking in Slavery’s WakeLaw and the Experience of Women and Children in Africa

“Each of the chapters in Trafficking in Slavery’s Wake could stand as a solo article. However, the beauty of the collection is that the pieces say much more when grouped than they would as stand-alones. Patterns emerge. Continuities and discontinuities over time become apparent. Moreover, the contributors have clearly challenged each other to think in new ways.”— Walter Hawthorne, author of From Africa to Brazil: Culture, Identity, and an Atlantic Slave Trade, 1600–1830

Human trafficking is rapidly emerging as a core human rights issue for the twenty-first century. Trafficking in Slavery’s Wake is excellent reading for the researching, combating, and prosecuting of trafficking in women and children.

Hero of the Angry Sky draws on the unpublished diaries, correspondence, informal memoir, and other personal documents of the U.S. Navy’s only flying “ace” of World War I to tell his unique story.

Mikołaj Stanisław Kunicki

Between the Brown and the RedNationalism, Catholicism, and Communism in Twentieth-Century Poland

In this study of the relationship of nationalism, communism, authoritarianism, and religion in twentieth-century Poland, Mikołaj Kunicki shows how the country’s communist rulers tried to adapt communism to local traditions, particularly ethnocentric nationalism and Catholicism. Focusing on the political career of Bolesław Piasecki, a Polish nationalist politician who started his journey as a fascist before the war and ended it as a procommunist activist, Kunicki demonstrates that Polish Communists reinforced the ethnocentric self-definition of Polishness and prolonged the existence of the nationalist Right.

Accompanied by rare, never-released photos and records, Ziff’s easy narrative weaves the personal accounts of daily life with the broader context of post–Civil War America. What’s truly remarkable about Ziff’s book is that it tells a parallel story of our nation’s history and the forces that shaped not only the asylums but also the many other fundamental public institutions that survive today. A highly engaging work that makes the past come alive.”— Chris Payne, author of Asylum: Inside the Closed World of State Mental Hospitals

Congress and the Crisis of the 1850s

During the long decade from 1848 to 1861 America was like a train speeding down the track, without an engineer or brakes. The new territories acquired from Mexico had vastly increased the size of the nation, but debate over their status — and more importantly the status of slavery within them — paralyzed the nation.

This volume of new essays examines these issues, helping us better understand the failure of political leadership in the decade that led to the Civil War.

Mountains of InjusticeSocial and Environmental Justice in Appalachia

“If you love the hills of southern West Virginia or eastern Kentucky, if they form your idea of beauty and rest, your native or chosen image of home, then your love has prepared your heart for breaking.”— Jedediah Purdy, author of The Meaning of Property: Freedom, Community, and the Legal Imagination

Research in environmental justice reveals that low-income and minority neighborhoods in our nation’s cities are often the preferred sites for landfills, power plants, and polluting factories. Those who live in these sacrifice zones are forced to shoulder the burden of harmful environmental effects so that others can prosper. Mountains of Injustice broadens the discussion from the city to the country by focusing on the legacy of disproportionate environmental health impacts on communities in the Appalachian region

America’s Romance with the English Garden

The 1890s saw a revolution in advertising. Cheap paper, faster printing, rural delivery, railroad shipping, and the new technology of chromolithography combined to pave the way for the first modern catalogs. The most prominent of these were seed and nursery catalogs with beautiful pictures of middle-class homes surrounded by sprawling lawns, lush plants, and the latest garden accessories — the quintessential English-style garden. America’s Romance with the English Garden is the story of tastemakers and homemakers, of savvy businessmen and a growing American middle class eager to buy their products.

“Despite the enormous richness of the literature on the history of religion in Africa, I can think of no other book which brings the insights of that literature to bear so directly and convinc-ingly to the interpretation of modern political history.… This is a great book.”— Meghan Vaughan, University of Cambridge

Invisible Agents shows how personal and deeply felt spiritual beliefs can inspire social movements and influence historical change. Conventional historiography concentrates on the secular, materialist, or moral sources of political agency. Instead, David M. Gordon argues, when people perceive spirits as exerting power in the visible world, these beliefs form the basis for individual and collective actions. Focusing on the history of the south-central African country of Zambia during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, his analysis invites reflection on political and religious realms of action in other parts of the world, and complicates the post-Enlightenment divide of sacred and profane.

Populist Seduction in Latin AmericaSecond Edition

“For anyone wishing for a succinct and theoretically sophisticated concept-building analysis of populist rhetoric and leadership style based on a fascinating lesser-known case study, this book should be on your shelf.”— Latin American Research Review

“This highly recommended book argues persuasively that populism generates forms of political inclusion for marginalized sectors of the society, yet does so in ways that endanger individual liberties.”— Choice

The Return of the Galon KingHistory, Law, and Rebellion in Colonial Burma

“Return of the Galon King is a brilliant example of listening to one’s sources, rather than talking past them. By trying to understand what the Rebellion Tribunal was actually about, not what we want it to be about, Aung-Thwin has created an indispensable work out of an indispensable historical episode.”— Journal of Southeast Asian Studies

“The Return of the Galon King is a valuable addition not just to the study of Burma, but also the study of Southeast Asian history as a whole.”— Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient

Ulbe Bosma and Remco Raben Translated by Wendie Shaffer

Being “Dutch” in the IndiesA History of Creolisation and Empire, 1500 –1920

“This book embodies history writing at its empiri-cal best.… Bosma and Raben’s narrative, richly illustrated with historical detail and dozens of black and white prints and photographs, undermines the prevailing assumptions about the inevitability of white-skinned superiority and the universality of brown-skinned subservience. Instead, the authors emphasize that Dutch co-lonialism in Asia forged a thoroughly creolized community.”— American Historical Review

African Intellectuals and Decolonization

Decades after independence for most African states, the struggle for decolonization is still incomplete, as demonstrated by the fact that Africa remains associated in many Western minds with chaos, illness, and disorder. African Intellectuals and Decolonization outlines ways in which intellectual practice can serve to de-link Africa from its global representation as a debased, subordinated, deviant, and inferior entity.
