Titre : Unrequited Toil: A History of United States Slavery Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Calvin Schermerhorn, Auteur Mention d'édition : Reprint edition Editeur : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 258 p. Format : 15x23cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-107-60858-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Written as a narrative history of slavery within the United States, Unrequited Toil details how an institution that seemed to be disappearing at the end of the American Revolution rose to become the most contested and valuable economic interest in the nation by 1850. Calvin Schermerhorn charts changes in the family lives of enslaved Americans, exploring the broader processes of nation-building in the United States, growth and intensification of national and international markets, the institutionalization of chattel slavery, and the growing relevance of race in the politics and society of the republic. In chapters organized chronologically, Schermerhorn argues that American economic development relied upon African Americans' social reproduction while simultaneously destroying their intergenerational cultural continuity. He explores the personal narratives of enslaved people and develops themes such as politics, economics, labor, literature, rebellion, and social conditions.

Titre : War beyond Words : Languages of Remembrance from the Great War to the Present Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jay Winter, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 234 p. Format : 15x23cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-108-46661-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : What we know of war is always mediated knowledge and feeling. We need lenses to filter out some of its blinding, terrifying light. These lenses are not fixed; they change over time, and Jay Winter's panoramic history of war and memory offers an unprecedented study of transformations in our imaginings of war, from 1914 to the present. He reveals the ways in which different creative arts have framed our meditations on war, from painting and sculpture to photography, film and poetry, and ultimately to silence, as a language of memory in its own right. He shows how these highly mediated images of war, in turn, circulate through language to constitute our 'cultural memory' of war. This is a major contribution to our understanding of the diverse ways in which men and women have wrestled with the intractable task of conveying what twentieth-century wars meant to them and mean to us.

Titre : Women and Gender in Early Modern Europe Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2019 Importance : 380p. Format : 16X24 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-108-73935-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This fourth edition of Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks's prize-winning survey features significant changes to every chapter, designed to reflect the newest scholarship. Global issues have been threaded throughout the book, while still preserving the clear thematic structure of previous editions. Thus readers will find expanded discussions of gendered racial hierarchies, migration, missionaries, and consumer goods. In addition, there is enhanced coverage of recent theoretical directions; the ideas, beliefs, and practices of ordinary people; early industrialization; women's learning, letter writing, and artistic activities; emotions and sentiments; single women and same-sex relations; masculinities; mixed-race and enslaved women; and the life course from birth to death. With geographically broad coverage, including Russia, Scandinavia, the Ottoman Empire, and the Iberian Peninsula, this remains the leading text on women and gender in Europe in this period. Accompanying this essential reading is a completely revised website featuring extensive updated bibliographies, web links, and primary source material.
