In this concise, yet sweeping look at the origins and development of ancient New World civilizations, Richard Adams provides a superb introductory overview of these unique and fascinating cultures. Incorporating the latest breakthroughs in the study of the cultures of Mesoamerica and the Andes, Adams examines the development of the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, and Inca peoples, among others, from simple agricultural societies to urban civilizations with complex transportation networks, distinct social hierarchies, rich artistic and religious traditions, and writing systems that have defied anthropological investigation until recently.

Bruce Buchan - The Empire of Political Thought, In digenous Australians and the Language of Colonial Government (2008).jpg

All History - Bruce Buchan - The Empire of Political Thought, Indig...tralians and the Language of Colonial Government 2008.jpg

"Empire of Political Thought" is a book about how European colonists in Australia represented the Indigenous peoples they found there, and the tasks of governing them within the terms of Western political thought. The book is unique because it uses material drawn from the Australian colonial experience to analyse the broader relationship between the traditions of Western political thought and colonial perceptions of Indigenous people. The title emphasises how the framework of ideas and concepts drawn from the traditions of Western political thought was employed in the imperial government of Indigenous peoples. This framework rendered Indigenous peoples 'familiar' and 'knowable' to Europeans. The main argument of the book is that rather than effacing Indigenous difference, colonists employed a conceptual language that recognised those differences but assimilated them within a framework of concepts that rendered those differences as 'deficiencies'.

Carolyn R. Higginbotham - Egyptianization and Elit e Emulation in Ramesside Palestine, Governance and Accomodation on the Imperial Periphery (2000).jpg

All History - Carolyn R. Higginbotham - Egyptianization and Elite E...ance and Accomodation on the Imperial Periphery 2000.jpg

A strong Egyptian presence and governance of 13th and 12th centuries BC Palestine has since long become clear from both textual and archaeological evidence. How this Egyptianization came about in Ramesside Palestine forms the focus on the present study. Carolyn Higginbotham convincingly attends to internal factors affecting the region's cultural and political development. Two models are carefully considered. The prevailling theory, that Egyptian policy shifted from economic and political domination to military occupation, is contrasted with a new, convincing model, elite emulation, derived from modern core-periphery studies. The author's conclusion is that Egyptian policy remained largely unchanged, and that the increased Egyptianization of the material culture represents voluntary adoption of the overpowering Egyptian culture by the Palestinian ruling class. The appendices are especially important for scholars interested in ancient international connections in Palestine; they catalogue all Egyptian and Egyptian-style material from LB IIB - Iron 1A Palestine.

Dana S. Hale - Races on Display, French Representa tions of Colonized Peoples, 1886-1940 (2008).jpg

While European commerce in race was substantial, the colonial trade in ideas of race was highly profitable as well. Looking at official propaganda and commercial representations in France during the Third Republic, this book explores the way the French increased the value of their racial identity at home at the expense of their colonized brothers and sisters. The French did not create the identity-effacing stereotypes of Africans, Arabs, and Indochinese. Instead they refined or remolded these images, and as they did so they redefined and remolded their images of themselves. Focusing on world's fairs, colonial expositions, and mundane manufacturers' trademarks, Races on Display shows not only the prevalence of racial stereotypes, but also how complex these representations prove to be.

John Laband - Historical Dictionary of the Zulu Wa rs (2009).jpg

Between 1838 and 1888 the recently formed Zulu kingdom in southeastern Africa was directly challenged by the incursion of Boer pioneers aggressively seeking new lands on which to set up their independent republics, by English-speaking traders and hunters establishing their neighboring colony, and by imperial Britain intervening in Zulu affairs to safeguard Britain's position as the paramount power in southern Africa. As a result, the Zulu fought to resist Boer invasion in 1838 and British invasion in 1879. The internal strains these wars caused to the fabric of Zulu society resulted in civil wars in 1840, 1856, and 1882-1884, and Zululand itself was repeatedly partitioned between the Boers and British. In 1888, the old order in Zululand attempted a final, unsuccessful uprising against recently imposed British rule.
This tangled web of invasions, civil wars, and rebellion is complex. The Historical Dictionary of the Zulu Wars unravels and elucidates Zulu history during the 50 years between the initial settler threat to the kingdom and its final dismemberment and absorption into the colonial order. A chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, maps, photos, and over 900 cross-referenced dictionary entries that cover the military, politics, society, economics, culture, and key players during the Zulu Wars make this an important reference for everyone from high school students to academics.

Uriel Tal - Religion, Politics and Ideology in the Third Reich, Selected Essays (2010).jpg

This volume comprises a representative selection of essays - many of them difficult to find - of the late Uriel Tal.
There has scarcely been another scholar who was as keenly aware of what German National Socialism owed to a combination of bowdlerised Christianity and bastardised science, a view he argued with great cogency and formidable scholarship. The cultural depth, clarity of exposition and scholarly richness of Tal's essays will establish formidable standards for the future volumes in this series. This volume also contains a personal memoir of Uriel Tal by Saul Friedlander.

Donny Gluckstein - The Paris Commune, A Revolution ary Democracy (2006).jpg

In 1871 in Paris, an extraordinary revolutionary experiment took place. For 72 days the city's poor took control of Europe's greatest capital. Today, we see a growing disillusionment with professional politicians across the advanced industrial democracies. The Commune offers a vibrant alternative based on mass participation and direct democracy. Donny Gluckstein looks at the Commune's achievements, the many dilemmas it faced and its tragic outcome. But this is more than just a history book. Drawing on the experience of the Commune, Donny seeks to illuminate contemporary debates about democracy, the state and revolution.
