Worthy of Freedom - Bok av Jonathan Connolly - Häftad

Worthy of Freedom - Bok av Jonathan Connolly - Häftad

A study of Indian indentured labor in Mauritius, British Guiana, and Trinidad that explores the history of indenture's normalization. In this book, historian Jonathan Connolly traces the normalization of indenture from its controversial beginnings to its widespread adoption across the British Empire during the mid-nineteenth century. Initially, indenture caused a scandal and was viewed as a covert revival of slavery. But soon enough, economic conflict in the colonies altered public perceptions of..

Phenomenal Blackness - Black Power, Philosophy, and Theory - Bok av Professor Mark Christian Thompson - Häftad

Phenomenal Blackness - Black Power, Philosophy, and Theory - Bok av Professor Mark Christian Thompson - Häftad

\Phenomenal Blackness examines the changing interdisciplinary investments of key mid-century African American writers and thinkers, showing how their investments in sociology and anthropology gave way to a growing interest in German philosophy and critical theory by the 1960s. Thompson analyzes this shift in intellectual focus across the post-war decades, pinpointing its clearest expression in Amiri Baraka's writings on jazz and blues, in which he insisted on philosophy as the critical means by..

The Knowledge of Nature and the Nature of Knowledge in Early Modern Japan - Bok av Federico Marcon - Häftad

The Knowledge of Nature and the Nature of Knowledge in Early Modern Japan - Bok av Federico Marcon - Häftad

Between the early seventeenth and the mid-nineteenth century, the field of natural history in Japan separated itself from the discipline of medicine, produced knowledge that questioned the traditional religious and philosophical understandings of the world, developed into a system (called honzogaku) that rivaled Western science in complexity-and then seemingly disappeared. Or did it? In The Knowledge of Nature and the Nature of Knowledge in Early Modern Japan, Federico Marcon recounts how Japanese..

Networks of Improvement - Bok av Jon Mee - Häftad

\In this book, Jon Mee proposes a new literary-cultural history of the Industrial Revolution in Britain from the late-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. Against the stubbornly persistent image of \dark satanic mills,\ in many ways so comforting to literary Romanticism, Jon Mee provides fresh, revisionary account of the Industrial Revolution as a story of unintended consequences. Reading a wide range of texts-economic, medical, and more conventionally \literary\ ones-with a distinctive..

Sounding Human - Bok av Deirdre Loughridge - Häftad

Sounding Human - Bok av Deirdre Loughridge - Häftad

\From the mid-eighteenth century on, there was a logic at work in musical discourse and practice: human or machine. That discourse defined a boundary of absolute difference between human and machine, with a recurrent practice of parsing \human\ musicality from its \merely mechanical\ simulations. In Sounding Human, Deirdre Loughridge tests and traverses these boundaries, unmaking the \human or machine\ logic and seeking out others, better characterized by conjunctions such as and or with...

Above the Fray - The Red Cross and the Making of the Humanitarian Ngo Sector - Bok av Shai M Dromi - Häftad

Above the Fray - The Red Cross and the Making of the Humanitarian Ngo Sector - Bok av Shai M Dromi - Häftad

\We now take humanitarian nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) such as the Red Cross or Oxfam for granted, but as sociologist Shai Dromi shows us, these social organizations are a relatively recent invention. In fact, when the Red Cross movement, which arose from the efforts of orthodox Calvinists, first began to advocate for impartial humanitarian work in the mid-1800s, it was met with incredulity, suspicion, and ethical objections. But within two decades the idea that humanitarian organizations..

Surroundings - A History of Environments and Environmentalisms - Bok av Etienne S. Benson - Häftad

Surroundings - A History of Environments and Environmentalisms - Bok av Etienne S. Benson - Häftad

\The English word \environment\ dates to the mid-nineteenth century, and the concept that it was invented to describe is not much older. Only since the late eighteenth century, and only in certain contexts, has it become common to believe that life can best be explained in environmental terms. Surroundings is the first full history of the concept - one that shows how it became compelling to particular communities of people. Today we confront the legacies of this long history, which the author..

Demos Assembled - Bok av Stephen W. Sawyer - Häftad

An intelligent, engaging, and in-depth reading of the nature of the state and the establishment of the modern political order in the mid-nineteenth century. Previous studies have covered in great detail how the modern state slowly emerged from the early Renaissance through the seventeenth century, but we know relatively little about the next great act: the birth and transformation of the modern democratic state. And in an era where our democratic institutions are rife with conflict, it's more important..

The Culmination - Bok av Robert B. Pippin - Inbunden

The Culmination - Bok av Robert B. Pippin - Inbunden

\Heidegger claimed that Western philosophy ended, failed even, in the German Idealist tradition. In The Culmination, Robert B. Pippin explores the ramifications of this charge through a masterful survey of Western philosophy, especially Heidegger's critiques of Hegel and Kant. Pippin argues that Heidegger's basic concern was to determine sources of meaning for human life, particularly those that had been obscured by Western philosophy's attention to reason. The Culmination offers a new interpretation..
