MUTED MEMORIES<\/a><\/strong>
Heritage-Making, Bagamoyo, and the East African Caravan Trade
Jan Lindstr\u00f6m<\/em><\/strong>

In the late nineteenth century, tens of thousands of porters carried ivory every year from the African interior to Bagamoyo, a port town at the Indian Ocean. In the opposite direction, they carried millions of meters of cloth, manufactured in the USA, Europe, and India. This book examines the centrality of the caravan trade, both culturally and economically, to Bagamoyo\u2019s development and cosmopolitan character, while also exploring how this history was silenced when Bagamoyo was instead branded as a slave route town in 2006 in an attempt to qualify it for the UNESCO World Heritage List.

MULTIPLE NATURE-CULTURES, DIVERSE ANTHROPOLOGIES<\/a><\/strong>
Edited by Casper Bruun Jensen and Atsuro Morita<\/em><\/strong>

Volume 9, STUDIES IN SOCIAL ANALYSIS<\/a><\/strong>

Over time, the role of nature in anthropology has evolved from being a mere backdrop for social and cultural diversity to being viewed as an integral part of the ontological entanglement of human and nonhuman agents. This transformation of the role of nature offers important insight into the relationships between diverse anthropological traditions. By highlighting natural-cultural worlds alongside these traditions, Multiple Nature-Cultures, Diverse Anthropologies<\/em> explores the potential for creating more sophisticated conjunctions of anthropological knowledge and practice.

HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS<\/a><\/strong>
Agents of Risk and Change, 1800-2000
Edited by Ernst Homburg and Elisabeth Vaupel<\/em><\/strong>

Volume 17, ENVIRONMENT IN HISTORY: INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES<\/a><\/strong>

Although poisonous substances have been a hazard for the whole of human history, it is only with the development and large-scale production of new chemical substances over the last two centuries that toxic, man-made pollutants have become such a varied and widespread danger. Covering a host of both notorious and little-known chemicals, the chapters in this collection investigate the emergence of specific toxic, pathogenic, carcinogenic, and ecologically harmful chemicals as well as the scientific, cultural and legislative responses they have prompted.

PERESTROIKA AND THE PARTY<\/a><\/strong>
National and Transnational Perspectives on European Communist Parties in the Era of Soviet Reform
Edited by Francesco Di Palma<\/strong>
Afterword by Silvio Pons<\/strong><\/em>

Countless studies have assessed the dramatic reforms of Mikhail Gorbachev, but their analysis of the impact on European communism has focused overwhelmingly on the Soviet Union and Eastern bloc nations. This ambitious collection takes a much broader view, reconstructing and evaluating the historical trajectories of glasnost<\/em> and perestroika<\/em> on both sides of the Iron Curtain.

Edited by Michael Freeden, Javier Fern\u00e1ndez-Sebasti\u00e1n, and J\u00f6rn Leonhard<\/strong>

Volume 6, EUROPEAN CONCEPTUAL HISTORY<\/a><\/strong>

Since the Enlightenment, liberalism as a concept has been foundational for European identity and politics, even as it has been increasingly interrogated and contested. This comprehensive study takes a fresh look at the diverse understandings and interpretations of the idea of liberalism in Europe, encompassing not just the familiar movements, doctrines, and political parties that fall under the heading of \u201cliberal\u201d but also the intertwined historical currents of thought behind them.

Tanja von Fransecky<\/strong>
Translated from German by Benjamin Liebelt<\/strong><\/em>

WINNER OF THE HERBERT STEINER PRIZE FOR SCHOLARSHIP ON RESISTANCE TO FASCISM AND NAZISM<\/em>

Of the countless stories of resistance, ingenuity, and personal risk to emerge in the years following the Holocaust, among the most remarkable, yet largely overlooked, are those of the hundreds of Jewish deportees who escaped from moving trains bound for the extermination camps. Drawing upon extensive interviews and a wealth of new historical evidence, Escapees<\/em> gives a fascinating collective account of this hitherto neglected form of resistance to Nazi persecution.

MONEY IN A HUMAN ECONOMY<\/a><\/strong>
Edited by Keith Hart<\/strong>

Volume 5, THE HUMAN ECONOMY<\/a><\/strong>

A human economy puts people first in emergent world society. Money is a human universal and now takes the divisive form of capitalism. This book addresses how to think about money (from Aristotle to the daily news and the sexual economy of luxury goods); its contemporary evolution (banking the unbanked and remittances in the South, cross-border investment in China, the payments industry and the politics of bitcoin); and cases from 19th century India and Southern Africa to contemporary Haiti and Argentina.

Edited by Sarah Pink, Vaike Fors, and Tom O’Dell<\/strong>

Volume 11, STUDIES IN PUBLIC AND APPLIED ANTHROPOLOGY<\/a><\/strong>

Academics across the globe are being urged by universities and research councils to do research that impacts the world beyond academia. Yet to date there has been very little reflection amongst scholars and practitioners in these fields concerning the relationship between the theoretical and engaged practices that emerge through such forms of scholarship. Theoretical Scholarship and Applied Practice<\/em> investigates the ways in which theoretical research has been incorporated into recent applied practices across the social sciences and humanities.

What makes a space Jewish?
