<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n International Studies in Social History<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>Series<\/strong><\/p>\n Published in Association with the\u00a0International Institute of Social History, Amsterdam<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Published under the auspices of the International Institute of Social History, Amsterdam, this series offers transnational perspectives on labor and working-class history. For a long time, labor historians have been working within national interpretive frameworks. But interest in studies contrasting different national and regional experiences and studying cross-border interactions has been increasing in recent years. This series is designed to act as a forum for these new approaches.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n LABORERS AND ENSLAVED WORKERS<\/a> From the middle of the nineteenth century until the 1888 abolition of slavery in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro was home to the largest urban population of enslaved workers anywhere in the Americas. It was also the site of an incipient working-class consciousness that expressed itself across seemingly distinct social categories. In this volume, Marcelo Badar\u00f3 Mattos demonstrates that these two historical phenomena cannot be understood in isolation. Drawing on a wide range of historical sources, Badar\u00f3 Mattos reveals the diverse labor arrangements and associative life of Rio\u2019s working class, from which emerged the many strategies that workers both free and unfree pursued in their struggles against oppression.<\/p>\n Read Introduction<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n LABOUR, UNIONS AND POLITICS UNDER THE NORTH STAR<\/a> <\/p>\n Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden today all enjoy a reputation for strong labour movements, which in turn are widely seen as part of a distinctive regional approach to politics, collective bargaining and welfare. But as this volume demonstrates, narratives of the so-called \u201cNordic model\u201d can obscure the fact that experiences of work and the fortunes of organized labour have varied widely throughout the region and across different historical periods. Together, the essays collected here represent an ambitious intervention in labour historiography and European history, exploring themes such as work, unions, politics and migration from the early modern period to the twenty-first century.<\/p>\n Read Introduction:<\/strong>\u00a0Labour, Unions and Politics in the Nordic Countries, c.1700\u20132000<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n RESCUING THE VULNERABLE<\/a> <\/p>\n Covering a range of national cases, this volume explores the relationship of weak social ties to poverty and how ideas about this relationship informed welfare policies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By focusing on three representative populations\u2014neglected children, the homeless, and the unemployed\u2014it provides a rich, comparative consideration of the shifting perceptions, representations, and lived experiences of social vulnerability in modern Europe.<\/p>\n Read Introduction:<\/strong>\u00a0Poverty and Endangered Social Ties: An Introduction<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE HISTORY OF LABOUR INTERMEDIATION<\/a> Searching for a job has been an everyday affair in both modern and past societies, and employment a concern for both individuals and institutions. The case studies in this volume investigate job search and placement practices in European countries, Australia, and India in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The contributors explore how looking for work becomes a means by which participants (individuals, placement agents, trade unions, municipalities, administrations, state authorities, and schools) articulated specific interests, perspectives, and agendas. Taking an exploratory approach, the chapters illustrate different approaches to the history of employment and job searching, ranging from organizational and regulatory histories to the analysis of practices and autobiographical accounts. In the process, they uncover the interrelations of search practices and attempts to arrange placement services.<\/p>\n Read\u00a0Introduction:\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>Finding Work and Organizing Placement in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries<\/a><\/p>\n To view all volumes in the series please visit the series webpage<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n NEW In Paperback: <\/p>\n Volume 17,\u00a0Contemporary European History<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In its totality, the \u201cLong Second World War\u201d\u2014extending from the beginning of the Spanish Civil War to the end of hostilities in 1945\u2014has exerted enormous influence over European culture. Bringing together leading historians, sociologists, and literary and film scholars, this broadly interdisciplinary volume investigates Europeans\u2019 individual and collective memories and the ways in which they have shaped the continent\u2019s cultural heritage. Focusing on the major combatant nations\u2014Spain, Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Poland, and Russia\u2014it offers thoroughly contextualized explorations of novels, memoirs, films, and a host of other cultural forms to illuminate European public memory.<\/p>\n Read\u00a0Introduction:<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0The Long Aftermath of the Long Second World War<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe articles\u2026 all provide insights and are all engaging, a trait not often found in edited volumes. The topics range over time (from 17th-century European wars to present-day Afghanistan) and over continents (Europe, North America, Asia, Africa)\u2026 Dwyer\u2019s own introductory article incisively orients readers not only to the memoir field, but also to the various perspectives and approaches inherent in war memoir presentation.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n Read Chapter 1.<\/strong>\u00a0Making Sense of the Muddle: War Memoirs and the Culture of Remembering<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Volume 18, Austrian and Habsburg Studies<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cBy following the many ways in which the Great War was framed and interpreted all over the former Habsburg Monarchy, this collection provides a fantastic foundation for fresh and thought-provoking comparisons throughout Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans, and makes a strong argument for overcoming the hitherto prevailing focus on single successor states.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 H-Soz-Kult<\/strong><\/p>\n Read Introduction:<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0A Conflicted and Divided Habsburg Memory<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n WAR AND WOMEN ACROSS CONTINENTS<\/a> <\/p>\n “Interesting and timely. Using different research methods to arrive at the story of women involved in war and conflicts adds value to existing feminist research methods. The academic, and especially feminist, readership will benefit from this volume.”<\/em> \u00b7 Nahla Abdo<\/strong>, Carleton University<\/p>\n Read Introduction:<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Women\u2019s Autobiographical and Biographical Experiences of War across Continents: An Introduction<\/a><\/p>\n NEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Volume 21, Studies in German History<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Ethics of Seeing<\/em> brings together an international group of scholars to explore the complex relationship between the visual and the historic in German history. Emphasizing the transformation of the visual arena and the ways in which ordinary people made sense of world events, these revealing case studies illustrate photography\u2019s multilayered role as a new form of representation, a means to subjective experience, and a fresh mode of narrating the past.<\/p>\n Read Introduction:<\/strong>\u00a0Photography as an Ethics of Seeing<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Communist Parties Revisited<\/em> takes a markedly different approach, investigating everyday life within basic organizations to illuminate the inner workings of Eastern Bloc parties. Ranging across national and transnational contexts, the contributions assembled here reconstruct the rituals of party meetings, functionaries\u2019 informal practices, intra-party power struggles, and the social production of ideology to give a detailed account of state socialist policymaking on a micro-historical scale.<\/p>\n Read Introduction:<\/strong>\u00a0Communist Parties Revisited: Sociocultural Approaches to Party Rule in the Soviet Bloc, 1956-1991<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Combining quantitative analysis, archival research, and over one hundred oral history interviews, Parallel Lives Revisited<\/em> explores the lives of immigrants from six Mediterranean countries in a postwar Belgian city to provide a fascinating account of how their experiences of integration have changed at work and in their neighborhoods across two decades.<\/p>\n Read Introduction<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Volume 21, Dislocations<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Partial Revolution<\/em> examines Kailali in the aftermath of Nepal\u2019s Maoist insurgency, critically examining the ways in which revolutionary political mobilization changes social relations\u2014often unexpectedly clashing with the movement\u2019s ideological goals. Focusing primarily on the end of Kailali\u2019s feudal system of bonded labor, Hoffmann explores the connection between politics, labor, and Mao\u2019s legacy, documenting the impact of changing political contexts on labor relations among former debt-bonded laborers.<\/p>\n Read Introduction:\u00a0<\/strong>The Maoist Victory Rally<\/a><\/p>\n Berghahn Journals\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The International Yearbook of Central, Eastern, and Southeastern European Women’s and Gender History<\/a><\/p>\n Aspasia<\/em>\u00a0is the international peer-reviewed annual of women’s and gender history of Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe (CESEE).
