CLAUSEWITZ IN HIS TIME<\/a>\nEssays in the Cultural and Intellectual History of Thinking about War
\nPeter Paret<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Anything but a detached theorist, Clausewitz was as fully engaged in the intellectual and cultural currents of his time as in its political and military conflicts. Late-eighteenth century thought helped shape the analytic methods he developed for the study of war. The essays in this volume follow his career in a complex military society, together with that of other students of war, both friends and rivals, providing a broad perspective that leads to significant documents so far unknown or ignored. They add to our understanding of Clausewitz\u2019s early ideas and their expansion into a comprehensive theory that continues to challenge our thinking about war today.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n The 1970s saw the Aboriginal people of Australia struggle for recognition of their postcolonial rights. Rural communities, where large Aboriginal populations lived, were provoked as a consequence of social fragmentation, unparalleled unemployment, and other major economic and political changes. The ensuing riots, protests, and law-and-order campaigns in New South Wales captured the tense relations that existed between indigenous people, the police, and the criminal justice system. In Protests, Land Rights, and Riots, Barry Morris shows how neoliberal policies in Australia targeted those who were least integrated socially and culturally, and who enjoyed fewer legitimate economic opportunities. Amidst intense political debate, struggle, and conflict, new forces were unleashed as a post-settler colonial state grappled with its past. Morris provides a social analysis of the ensuing effects of neoliberal policy and the way indigenous rights were subsequently undermined by this emerging new political orthodoxy in the 1990s.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The history of modern Europe is often presented with the hindsight of present-day European integration, which was a genuinely liberal project based on political and economic freedom. Many other visions for Europe developed in the 20th century, however, were based on an idea of community rooted in pre-modern religious ideas, cultural or ethnic homogeneity, or even in coercion and violence. They frequently rejected the idea of modernity or reinterpreted it in an antiliberal manner. Anti-liberal Europe examines these visions, including those of anti-modernist Catholics, conservatives, extreme rightists as well as communists, arguing that antiliberal concepts in 20th-century Europe were not the counterpart to, but instead part of the process of European integration.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n David Warren Sabean was a pioneer in the historical-anthropological study of kinship, community, and selfhood in early modern and modern Europe. His career has helped shape the discipline of history through his supervision of dozens of graduate students and his influence on countless other scholars. This book collects wide-ranging essays demonstrating the impact of Sabean\u2019s work has on scholars of diverse time periods and regions, all revolving around the prominent issues that have framed his career: kinship, community, and self. The significance of David Warren Sabean\u2019s scholarship is reflected in original research contributed by former students and essays written by his contemporaries, demonstrating Sabean\u2019s impact on the discipline of history.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our continued use of the combustion engine car in the 21st century, despite many rational arguments against it, makes it more and more difficult to imagine that transport has a sustainable future. Offering a sweeping transatlantic perspective, this book explains the current obsession with automobiles by delving deep into the motives of early car users. It provides a synthesis of our knowledge about the emergence and persistence of the car, using a broad range of material including novels, poems, films, and songs to unearth the desires that shaped our present \u201ccar society.\u201d Combining social, psychological, and structural explanations, the author concludes that the ability of cars to convey transcendental experience, especially for men, explains our attachment to the vehicle.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ————————————————————————————–<\/p>\n New in Paperback:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201c\u2026the articles, taken together, provide an exciting picture of the diversity that is unified in the Nordic region\u2026 [and] a significant contribution to the discussion of multiple modernities.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Scandinavian-Canadian Studies\/\u00c9tudes scandinaves au Canada<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201c\u2026a highly welcome and useful addition to\u2026 scholarship [that] brings together scholars from several academic fields, including history, geography, anthropology, and Germanistik, in a fruitful effort to promote interdisciplinary dialogue and cooperation\u2026 The book\u2019s thoughtful and valuable contributions reach far beyond Berlin alone. Indeed, the multiplicity of approaches and perspectives in many ways enriches the book. The study deserves to reach a wide readership among scholars of a number of disciplines, and it is to be hoped that it will inspire further study of the themes and issues addressed here.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 German Studies Review<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cReaders will especially enjoy the information on individual British academics and journalists, who helped shape the field of East German studies both in the UK and U.S. Individuals such as David Childs, who took part in peace rallies, and Neil Ascherson, who was a foreign correspondent in Germany, stand out.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 German Politics & Society<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201c\u2026this is a valuable addition to the existing literature on the impact of the October 1973 energy crisis on French national policy, the evolution of the European Community, and the nature of the transatlantic relationship.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 American Historical Review<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.berghahnbooks.com\/covers\/MorrisProtests.jpg\")
