\"\"GIRLHOOD AND THE POLITICS OF PLACE<\/a>
\nEdited by Claudia Mitchell and Carrie Rentschler<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Examining context-specific conditions in which girls live, learn, work, play, and organize deepens the understanding of place-making practices of girls and young women worldwide. Focusing on place across health, literary and historical studies, art history, communications, media studies, sociology, and education allows for investigations of how girlhood is positioned in relation to interdisciplinary and transnational research methodologies, media environments, geographic locations, history, and social spaces. This book offers a comprehensive reading on how girlhood scholars construct and deploy research frameworks that directly engage girls in the research process.<\/p>\n

\"\"PARLIAMENT AND PARLIAMENTARISM<\/a>
\nA Comparative History of a European Concept
\nEdited by Pasi Ihalainen, Cornelia Ilie, and Kari Palonen<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Parliamentary theory, practices, discourses, and institutions constitute a distinctively European contribution to modern politics. Taking a broad historical perspective, this cross-disciplinary, innovative, and rigorous collection locates the essence of parliamentarism in four key aspects\u2014deliberation, representation, responsibility, and sovereignty\u2014and explores the different ways in which they have been contested, reshaped, and implemented in a series of representative national and regional case studies. As one of the first comparative studies in conceptual history, this volume focuses on debates about the nature of parliament and parliamentarism within and across different European countries, representative institutions, and genres of political discourse.<\/p>\n

\"\"THE ANATOMY OF MURDER<\/a>
\nEthical Transgressions and Anatomical Science during the Third Reich
\nSabine Hildebrandt
\nForeword by William E. Seidelman<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of the many medical specializations to transform themselves during the rise of National Socialism, anatomy has received relatively little attention from historians. While politics and racial laws drove many anatomists from the profession, most who remained joined the Nazi party, and some helped to develop the scientific basis for its racialist dogma. As historian and anatomist Sabine Hildebrandt reveals, however, their complicity with the Nazi state went beyond the merely ideological. They progressed through gradual stages of ethical transgression, turning increasingly to victims of the regime for body procurement, as the traditional model of working with bodies of the deceased gave way, in some cases, to a new paradigm of experimentation with the \u201cfuture dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"LOBBYING HITLER<\/a>
\nIndustrial Associations between Democracy and Dictatorship
\nMatt Bera<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From 1933 onward, Nazi Germany undertook massive and unprecedented industrial integration, submitting an entire economic sector to direct state oversight. This innovative study explores how German professionals navigated this complex landscape through the divergent careers of business managers in two of the era\u2019s most important trade organizations. While Jakob Reichert of the iron and steel industry unexpectedly resisted state control and was eventually driven to suicide, Karl Lange of the machine builders\u2019 association achieved security for himself and his industry by submitting to the Nazi regime. Both men\u2019s stories illuminate the options available to industrialists under the Third Reich, as well as the real priorities set by the industries they served.<\/p>\n

\"\"SHADOWLANDS<\/a>
\nMemory and History in Post-Soviet Estonia
\nMeike Wulf<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Located within the forgotten half of Europe, historically trapped between Germany and Russia, Estonia has been profoundly shaped by the violent conflicts and shifting political fortunes of the last century. This innovative study traces the tangled interaction of Estonian historical memory and national identity in a sweeping analysis extending from the Great War to the present day. At its heart is the enduring anguish of World War Two and the subsequent half-century of Soviet rule. Shadowlands tells this story by foregrounding the experiences of the country\u2019s intellectuals, who were instrumental in sustaining Estonian historical memory, but who until fairly recently could not openly grapple with their nation\u2019s complex, difficult past.<\/p>\n

\"\"SACRIFICE AND REBIRTH<\/a>
\nThe Legacy of the Last Habsburg War
\nEdited by Mark Cornwall and John Paul Newman<\/p>\n

Volume 18, Austrian and Habsburg Studies<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When Austria-Hungary broke up at the end of the First World War, the sacrifice of one million men who had died fighting for the Habsburg monarchy now seemed to be in vain. This book is the first of its kind to analyze how the Great War was interpreted, commemorated, or forgotten across all the ex-Habsburg territories. Each of the book\u2019s twelve chapters focuses on a separate region, studying how the transition to peacetime was managed either by the state, by war veterans, or by national minorities. This \u201csplintered war memory,\u201d where some posed as victors and some as losers, does much to explain the fractious character of interwar Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

\"\"IN SEARCH OF LEGITIMACY<\/a>
\nHow Outsiders Become Part of the Afro-Brazilian Capoeira Tradition
\nLauren Miller Griffith<\/p>\n

Volume 7, Dance and Performance Studies<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every year, countless young adults from affluent, Western nations travel to Brazil to train in capoeira, the dance\/martial art form that is one of the most visible strands of the Afro-Brazilian cultural tradition. In Search of Legitimacy explores why \u201cfirst world\u201d men and women leave behind their jobs, families, and friends to pursue a strenuous training regimen in a historically disparaged and marginalized practice. Using the concept of apprenticeship pilgrimage\u2014studying with a local master at a historical point of origin\u2014the author examines how non-Brazilian capoeiristas learn their art and claim legitimacy while navigating the complexities of wealth disparity, racial discrimination, and cultural appropriation.<\/p>\n

\"\"TRUST US<\/a>
\nReproducing the Nation and the Scandinavian Nationalist Populist Parties
\nAnders Hellstr\u00f6m<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Scandinavia, there is separation in the electorate between those who embrace diversity and those who wish for tighter bonds between people and nation. This book focuses on three nationalist populist parties in Scandinavia\u2014the Sweden Democrats, the Progress Party in Norway, and the Danish People\u2019s Party. In order to affect domestic politics by addressing this conflict of diversity versus homogeneity, these parties must enter the national parliament while earning the nation\u2019s trust. Of the three, the Sweden Democrats have yet to earn the trust of the mainstream, leading to polarized and emotionally driven public debate that raises the question of national identity and what is understood as the common man.<\/p>\n

\"\"ELUSIVE PROMISES<\/a>
\nPlanning in the Contemporary World
\nEdited by Simone Abram and Gisa Weszkalnys<\/p>\n

Volume 11, Dislocations<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a much needed contribution by anthropologists to a sustained and broad treatment of planning as a socio-cultural process, utilizing multiple case studies from multiple perspectives and theoretical frames. Some very insightful analyses can be found in the chapters, particularly regarding the vast differences between places and people around the world, and their efforts to organize reality through what would commonly, but perhaps inaccurately, be subsumed under the term \u2018planning.\u2019\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Juris Milestone<\/strong>, Temple University<\/p>\n

\"\"POWERLESS SCIENCE?<\/a>
\nScience and Politics in a Toxic World
\nEdited by Soraya Boudia and Nathalie Jas<\/p>\n

Volume 2, Environment in History: International Perspectives<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe editors did a heroic job of assembling and connecting a group of articles from contributors active in interdisciplinary research and studies. They span multiple disciplines (sociology, history, philosophy, economics, and political science), assorted methodologies, different time frames, venues, and geographies\u2026 In summary, the absence of knowledge has powerfully shaped the history and social organization of our toxic world. And for this reason, Powerless Science? merits reading and reflective rereading.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 International Social Science Review<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"MANAGING THE UNKNOWN<\/a>
\nEssays on Environmental Ignorance
\nEdited by Frank Uek\u00f6tter and Uwe L\u00fcbken<\/p>\n

Volume 3, Environment in History: International Perspectives<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an interesting and well written set of essays that provides fresh and illuminating insights on many important topics, which makes it indispensible to practitioners and students of environmental history across the globe. Indeed, because it comments on so many topical issues, it should be of interest to anyone concerned about current environmental problems, their origins and possible solutions (especially making manufacturing, forestry and farming sustainable, controlling waste and pollution and finding renewable energy sources). The chapters are of a uniformly high standard and the introduction expertly places them in context.\u201d<\/em> \u00b7 Tom Brooking<\/strong>, University of Otago<\/p>\n
