Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2017Scottishness and Irishness in New Zealand since 1840
by Angela McCarthy, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie
This book examines the distinctive aspects that insiders and outsiders perceived as characteristic of Irish and Scottish ethnic identities in New Zealand. When, how, and why did Irish and Scots identify themselves and others in ethnic terms? What characteristics did the Irish and the Scots attribute to themselves and what traits did others assign to them? Did these traits change over time and if so how? Contemporary interest surrounding issues of ethnic identities is vibrant. In countries such as New Zealand, descendants of European settlers are seeking their ethnic origins, spurred on in part by factors such as an ongoing interest in indigenous genealogies, the burgeoning appeal of family history societies, and the booming financial benefits of marketing ethnicities abroad. This fascinating book will appeal to scholars and students of the history of empire and the construction of identity in settler communities, as well as those interested in the history of New Zealand.

The ArtsJune 2025Counterpractice
Psychoanalysis, politics and the art of French feminism
by Rakhee Balaram
Counterpractice highlights a generation of women who used art to define a culture of experimental thought and practice during the period of the French women's movement or Mouvement de Libération des Femmes (1970-81). It considers women's art in relation to some of the most exciting thinkers to have emerged from the French literature and philosophy of the 1970s - Hélène Cixous, Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva - forcing a timely reconsideration of the full spectrum of revolutionary practices by women in the years following the events of May '68. Lavishly illustrated with over 200 images, the book also features an illuminating foreword by art historian Griselda Pollock.

May 2024Karl May
Kleinkrimineller, Hochstapler, Deutschlands erfolgreichster Schriftsteller
by Enis Maci, Mazlum Nergiz
Millionen sind mit Winnetou und Old Shatterhand aufgewachsen. Enis Maci und Mazlum Nergiz nicht. In diesem Band gehen sie der Sache auf den Grund: Was hat es auf sich mit dem Lügen und dem Überleben? Was trennt den Fake von seinem Vorbild? Und wann steht sie endlich, die Autobahn vom wilden Kurdistan bis ins Land der Skipetaren? Mit dabei: ein Autor, der sich für den Helden seiner eigenen Romane hält. Gebirge, die in Sachsen liegen, aber Utah im Wilden Westen meinen. Und ein nichtabreißender Strom von Zerrbildern über das Fremde. Karl May zoomt rein in Landschaften, die schöner nicht sein könnten. Alles Show, alles wahr.

June 2012Standardstädte
Ernst May in der Sowjetunion 1930-1933. Texte und Dokumente
by Ernst May, Thomas Flierl
Sowjetunion, Sommer 1930. Im ganzen Land entstehen neue Industriestandorte, die Regierung engagiert den Architekten Ernst May. Mit seiner »Brigade« ausländischer Spezialisten (darunter Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, die Erfinderin der »Frankfurter Küche«) soll er in großem Maßstab neue Arbeiterstädte errichten. Voller Enthusiasmus macht sich May an die Arbeit, plant »Standardstädte« und Typenbauten. Doch dann gerät er zwischen die Fronten von Modernisten und stalinistischen Historisten. Seine Hoffnung auf eine egalitäre und funktionale Moderne zerbricht. Thomas Flierl hat die Texte gesammelt, die in diesen Jahren von und über Ernst May erschienen. Ergänzt wird die Sammlung durch Dokumente zur Situation Mays. Gestützt auf neue Archivfunde, erhellt Flierl erstmals seine tatsächliche Stellung im sowjetischen Städtebau, die Hintergründe seiner Ablösung und seine zunehmende Distanz gegenüber dem sowjetischen Experiment.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2000Churchill and the Soviet Union
by David Carlton
In the already vast literature on Churchill, no single work has focused on his changing attitude towards the Soviet Union. This is the first project to isolate just one major theme in Churchill's lifeExplores whether or not Churchill was consistent through forty years and examines the possibility that perceptions of domestic political advantage may have shaped his course more than high-monded and disinterested evaluations of evolving Soviet intentions and capabilitiesChurchill still arouses a great deal of general interest, and a work which challenges a number of preconceptions, as this book does, will undoubtedly appeal to the general readerA clearly argued, revisionist study of Churchill's views about and dealings with the Soviet Union. It will be part of the growing historical literature that seeks to reassess Churchill. ;

New Zealand's empire
by Katie Pickles, Catharine Coleborne
This edited collection investigates New Zealand's history as an imperial power, and its evolving place within the British Empire. It revises and expands the history of empire within, to and from New Zealand by looking at the country's spheres of internal imperialism, its relationship with Australia, its Pacific empire and its outreach to Antarctica. The book critically revises our understanding of the range of ways that New Zealand has played a role as an imperial power, including the cultural histories of New Zealand inside the British Empire, engagements with imperial practices and notions of imperialism, the special significance of New Zealand in the Pacific region, and the circulation of ideas of empire both through and inside New Zealand over time. The essays in this volume span social, cultural, political and economic history, and in testing the concept of New Zealand's empire, the contributors take new directions in both historiographical and empirical research.

Family & home stories (Children's/YA)February 1905Little Women
by Louise May Alcott
Little Women "has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both. It has been read as a family drama that validates virtue over wealth", but also "as a means of escaping that life by women who knew its gender constraints only too well".[6]:34 According to Sarah Elbert, Alcott created a new form of literature, one that took elements from Romantic children's fiction and combined it with others from sentimental novels, resulting in a totally new format. Elbert argued that within Little Women can be found the first vision of the "All-American girl" and that her multiple aspects are embodied in the differing March sisters.

Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2026Come what may, we're here to stay
The story of South Asian resistance in Britain
by Taj Ali
As British South Asians reel from the riots of summer 2025, this book tells the inspirational story of how the community organised against racism in the past and how it continues to fight in the present. British South Asians have a long tradition of radical political activism. The 1970s and 1980s saw the community grappling with prejudice in the workplace and violence in the streets. But this history is deeper than you might think, from students agitating for independence at the heart of the British Empire to seafarers organising global strikes on the eve of the Second World War. In Come what may, we're here to stay, Taj Ali reveals how successive generations fought for rights, dignity and a sense of belonging while actively shaping the country they now call home. He shows that British South Asian political life has often been defined less by religious difference than by shared commitments to anti-imperialism and anti-racism. In pursuit of these goals, alliances have been forged with other movements, from Irish republicanism to Black Power. As racism rears its ugly head again, Come what may, we're here to stay asks: are we are doomed to repeat the past or will we learn from our mistakes and build a better world together?

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2017Welsh missionaries and British imperialism
The Empire of Clouds in north-east India
by Andrew May
In 1841, the Welsh sent their first missionary, Thomas Jones, to evangelise the tribal peoples of the Khasi Hills of north-east India. This book follows Jones from rural Wales to Cherrapunji, the wettest place on earth and now one of the most Christianised parts of India. As colonised colonisers, the Welsh were to have a profound impact on the culture and beliefs of the Khasis. The book also foregrounds broader political, scientific, racial and military ideologies that mobilised the Khasi Hills into an interconnected network of imperial control. Its themes are universal: crises of authority, the loneliness of geographical isolation, sexual scandal, greed and exploitation, personal and institutional dogma, individual and group morality. Written by a direct descendant of Thomas Jones, it makes a significant contribution in orienting the scholarship of imperialism to a much-neglected corner of India, and will appeal to students of the British imperial experience more broadly.

March 2026Legacies of British slavery in Australia and New Zealand
by Zoë Laidlaw, Jane Lydon
This book investigates the legacies of British slavery beyond Britain, focusing upon the colonisation of Australia and New Zealand, and explores why this history has been overlooked. After August 1833, when the British Parliament abolished slavery in the British Caribbean, Mauritius and the Cape, the former slave-owners were paid compensation for the loss of their 'property'. New research has begun to show that many beneficiaries had ties to other parts of the British Empire, including the settler colonies of Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa. Through a range of case studies, contributors to this collection trace the movement of people, goods, capital, and practices from the Caribbean to the new Australasian settler colonies. Chapters consider a range of places, people and themes to reveal the varied ways that slavery continued to shape imperial relationships, economic networks, and racial labour regimes after 1833.
