ISBN: 9781469622347 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Envisioning La Escalera--an underground rebel movement largely composed of Africans living on farms and plantations in rural western Cuba--in the larger context of the long emancipation struggle in Cuba, Aisha Finch demonstrates how organized slave resistance became critical to the unraveling not only of slavery but also of colonial systems of power during the nineteenth century.
While the discovery of La Escalera unleashed a reign of terror by the Spanish colonial powers in which hundreds of enslaved people were tortured, tried, and executed, Finch revises historiographical...

Contested Empire: Rethinking the Texas Revolution
ISBN: 9781623493097 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To a large degree, the story of Texas' secession from Mexico has been undertaken by scholars of the state. Early twentieth century historians of the revolutionary period, most notably Eugene Barker and William Binkley, characterized the conflict as a clash of two opposing cultures, yet their exclusive focus on the region served to reinforce popular notions of a unique Texas past.
Disconnected from a broader historiography, scholars have been left to ponder the most arcane details of the revolutionary narrative--such as the circumstances of David Crockett's death and whether William...

1916: Ireland's Revolutionary Tradition
ISBN: 9780745336329 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Easter Rising of 1916, in which just over a thousand Irish rebels seized key locations in Dublin and proclaimed the independence of the Irish Republic before being brutally suppressed by the vastly larger and better-equipped British Army, is an event whose meaning remains contested to this day. For some it represents a blood sacrifice without the hope--or even the intention---of success. For others, it was the first act in a tumultuous political drama played out in Dublin streets and London cabinet rooms that led to the eventual formation of an independent Irish state.

In 1950, after over fifty years of military occupation and colonial rule, the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico staged an unsuccessful armed insurrection against the United States. Violence swept through the island: assassins were sent to kill President Harry Truman, gunfights roared in eight towns, police stations and post offices were burned down.

The Creation of Modern China, 1894-2008: The Rise of a World Power
ISBN: 9781783084975 / Angielski / Miękka / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. China preoccupies us; yet its recent past is still relatively unfamiliar. No country has undergone a greater period of sustained and turbulent change than China in the twentieth century, but it has emerged again as a leading global power. It is, therefore, more important than ever to understand the society it has become and its rise to such influence. This timely study uses recent research to explore how China has been transformed from an economic and political backwater at the start of the twentieth century to its current pre-eminent position one hundred years later. During this... China preoccupies us; yet its recent past is still relatively unfamiliar. No country has undergone a greater period of sustained and turbulent chan... |

Indian and Slave Royalists in the Age of Revolution
ISBN: 9781107084148 / Angielski / Twarda / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Royalist Indians and slaves in the northern Andes engaged with the ideas of the Age of Revolution (1780 1825), such as citizenship and freedom. Although generally ignored in recent revolution-centered versions of the Latin American independence processes, their story is an essential part of the history of the period. In Indian and Slave Royalists in the Age of Revolution, Marcela Echeverri draws a picture of the royalist region of Popayan (modern-day Colombia) that reveals deep chronological layers and multiple social and spatial textures. She uses royalism as a lens to rethink the temporal,...

Państwo Islamskie
ISBN: 9788380023222 / Polski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Od 2014 roku epatuje nas, ludzi Wschodu i Zachodu, nowy twór - a może zjawisko - Państwo Muzułmańskie, czyli Islamskie. Politycy zachodzą w głowę, dlaczego powstało, dziennikarze mają używanie, a komentatorzy polityczni plączą się w zeznaniach i mało wiarygodnych opiniach.
Mechanizm powstania Państwa Islamskiego jest bardzo prosty, wymaga jednak wiedzy eksperckiej. Dwaj francuscy naukowcy - Olivier Hanne i Thomas Flichy de la Neuville - opierając się na wiedzy historycznej, politologicznej i kulturoznawczej, pokazują, jak to się stało, że ten groźny (s)twór pojawił...

Peasants, Power, and Place: Revolution in the Villages of Kharkiv Province, 1914-1921
ISBN: 9781932650150 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Peasants, Power, and Place is the first English-language book to focus on Ukrainian-speaking peasants during the revolutionary period from 1914 to 1921. In contrast to the many studies written from the perspectives of the Ukrainian national movement's leaders or the Bolsheviks or urban workers, this book portrays this period of war, revolution, and civil war from the viewpoints of the villagers--the overwhelming majority of the population of what became Ukraine. Utilizing previously unavailable archival documents, Mark R. Baker opens a unique and neglected window into the tumultuous...
