California Mission Series, Volume II: Mission San Gabriel, Mission San Luis Obispo, Mission San Francisco de Asis $14.08 Helen M. Roberts Book This is the second volume in a series on early life in and around the California Missions. This is a reproduction edition from a scanned copy of the following edition: Title California Mission Series, Vol II Author Helen M Roberts Publisher Stanford University Press ISBN 0804719047, 9780804719049 Malaya: Communist or Free $19.84 Victor Purcell Book Published in 1954. Malaya for many years has been recognized as a vital strategic outpost of Western power in Asia. Both because of its position commanding the shipping lanes to the Far East and because of its importance as a major producer of rubber and tin, it has long had a special significance for the economic policies of both the British Commonwealth and the United States. As the home of a large and flourishing community of Overseas Chinese and as the arena for a protracted and difficult Communist-led rebellion, it has in recent years taken on a vital new importance in the efforts of the free world to contain the spread of Communism in Asia. Despite the vigorous and controversial efforts of General Gerald Templer to crush the insurrection and to complete a far-reaching program of resettling a half million Chinese “squatters” in newly created village communities, the Communist problem in Malaya has not been completely eliminated and the problem of integrating the Chinese population into the Malayan society as a whole is still acute. With the recent Communist advances in Indochina, Malaya seems recently to have become an even more crucially important area. This book, by an outstanding British authority on Malaya, is the first up-to-date account of the political, economic and social developments in the country since the end of the war. It contains a historical background, an account of Malaya’s international setting and a detailed account of the Communist rebellion phase by phase, as well as chapters on labor, education, Mala economics, and political parties. It dwells at length on the rise of an “Asian consciousness” and analyzes Communist propaganda in Malaya. It subjects General Templer’s “reforms” to critical examination. Dr. Purcell concludes with a long chapter suggesting what might still be done to keep Malaya from going Communist and retain it within the Western sphere of influence. He believes that, in order to have the will and the means (e.g. a national army) to defend itself against Communist encroachment, Malaya must be self-governing and elections-genuine parliamentary elections-should be held soon. About Victor Purcell From 1931 to 1946 Dr. Purcell was a member of the Malayan Civil Service and held a number of appointments, including those of Protector of Chinese and Director-General of Information. He was Principal Advisor on Chinese Affairs on the liberation of Malaya in 1945. On retiring from the Malayan Civil Service, he became an officer of the United Nations. He visited Malaya for the U.N. in 1947 and has paid two visits since then – in 1950 and 1052. He is a Chinese scholar, speaking several dialects, and also speaks Malaya. His books, The Chinese in Malaya and The Chinese in South-Asia are standard in their field. Since 1949 he has been Lecturer in Far Eastern History at the University of Cambridge. Dr. Purcell died January 2, 1965. This is a reproduction edition from a scanned copy of the original edition: Title: Malaya: Communist or Free? Author: Victor Purcell Publisher: Stanford University Press ISBN: 080473321X Length: 288 pages Virginia and Truckee $13.42 Lucius Morris Beebe, Charles Clegg, E. S. Hammack, Frederic Shaw Book The year 1896 saw the completion of the first transcontinental railroad and the birth of the Virginia & Truckee. While Central Pacific and Union Pacific approached their historic junction in Utah, another chapter in the railroading history of the American West was unfolding in Nevada. Modest only in length, the V & T was a short-line carrier of incredible treasure, taking out the ore of the Comstock Lode, the world's richest known silver deposit, It also delivered necessities and devisings of luxury for booming Virginia City, cosmopolis of the Comstock. The precipitous grades were thought unsafe for risking private cars but with the arrival in Virginia City of the celebrated car "Pullman" with its designer aboard, others soon followed, bering such notables as President Grant and General Sherman. The Carson & Colorado was built in the 1880's as a subsidiary line to connect with the new boom towns of Hawthorne, Candelaria, Bodie, Aurora, and Benton. The strikes at Tonopah and Goldfield were yet to come. "After the epic convulsions of the nineteenth century the V & T enjoyed briefly the heady excitements of the southern nevada bonanzas as long as they lasted." The Second World War enabled the V & T, like many another short line, to live a while longer on borrowed time. Here is its flamboyant history in words, maps, and contemporary drawings and photographs.

A whole subgenre of sociological-political treatises purporting to analyze the mass mind emerged all over Europe, particularly in England. All these texts drew heavily on the theories put forth in The Crowd, writing in 1895 by the French writer Gustave Le Bon and translated into English in 1897. Le Bon developed the idea that when a crowd forms, a whole new kind of mentality, hovering on the borderline of unconsciousness, replaces the conscious personalities of individuals. His descriptions should seem uncanny to literary critics, because they sound as if he were describing modernist literary techniques, such as the focus on images and the “stream of consciousness.” Equally important was Georges Sorel’s Reflections of Violence (1906), which sought to turn Le Bon’s theories into a methodology for producing mass movements by invoking the importance of myth to theories of the mass mind. Examining in detail the surprising similarities between modernist literature and contemporary theories of the crowd, this work upsets many critical commonplaces concerning the character of literary modernism. Through careful reading of major works of novelists Joyce and Woolf (traditionally viewed as politically leftist) and the poets Eliot and Yeats (traditionally viewed as politically to the right), it shows that man modernist literary forms in all these authors emerged out of efforts to write in the idiom of the crowd mind. Modernism was not a rejection of mass culture, but rather an effort to produce a mass culture, perhaps for the first time-to produce a culture distinctive to the twentieth century, which Le Bon called “The Era of the Crowd.” The contest between modernist and realist literary forms was thus not a contest between literature of the masses, but rather a contest between different ways of speaking to and form the mass mind, a contest based n different conceptions of how the masses think.

Ross Book “This is likely to be the definitive account for many years to come of Sino-American relations during the period covered. Ross uses an incredible range of American and Chinese personal interviews, and he has a uniquely valuable set of internal Chinese analyses that have no precedent in other published works for their detailed assessments of U.S. policy. The organization of the book is as excellent as its coverage, and the writing is superbly lucid.” - Allen S. Whiting, University of Arizona “This authoritative and stimulating work is the best on the subject. It will serve two audiences, those wanting a narrative of U.S.-China relations and those seeking a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the relationship and its lessons for international politics. Whether dealing with grand strategy or diplomatic detail, Ross is masterly.” - Andrew J. Nathan, Columbia University Robert S. Ross is Associate Professor of Political Science at Boston College and Research Associate at the Fairbank Center for East Asian Research at Harvard University It is generally assumed that in the 1970’s and 1980’s the United States and China developed cooperative relations in order to enhance their security against the common threat from the Soviet Union. Conventional wisdom claims that in the interest of maximizing cooperation Washington and Beijing agreed to “shelve” or put aside any conflicting issues. Where conflict did occur, it has been blamed on diplomatic mismanagement or the intrusion of domestic politics into diplomacy. This book shows, however, that maintaining the U.S.-China cooperative relationship was never easy precisely because there were major ongoing conflicts between the two powers, notably over Taiwan. The author thus disputes Henry Kissinger’s claims that only he and Richard Nixon were uniquely wise in understanding that Taiwan was not an important issue. In fact, at no time did China agree that the U.S. stance toward Taiwan was even temporarily acceptable, and this problem required continuous negotiations and mutual adjustments. The book examines how China and the United States managed to develop and consolidate cooperative relations for almost two decades despite the existence of the Taiwan question. It explains how negotiations over Taiwan were conducted, and why the two powers sometimes made compromises and at other times were willing to tolerate the status quo. It also examines why the negotiations on occasion became acrimonious and why the acrimony eventually subsided. In short, the book is a series of case studies of U.S. –China negotiations, examining the impact, at various points in time, of distinct combinations of internal and external factors on the behavior of the negotiators and the outcome of the negotiations.

The Cross and the Fasces $18.55 Richard A. Webster Book The Italian Christian Democratic Party has emerged as one of the most important and enduring governing parties of postwar Europe, and a mainstay of the Western alliance. Since the proclamation of the Italian Republic in 1946, the party has dominated each successive government, giving the Catholic Church immense prestige and influence in Italian affairs. This is the first full-length study in English of the background of the party, and of the development of autonomous Catholic social and political movements in Italy. The first Catholic protest movements began in the nineteenth century, and continued until the failure of the Popular Party and the triumph of Fascism after World War I. Under the Fascist Regime, a new generation of Catholic leaders appeared, emerging from the Catholic Action groups. These groups enjoyed at best a grudging toleration, and were able to exist only under papal protection. Of particular importance to this new Catholic generation was the emergence as a strong leader of Alcide De Gasperi, the "exile of the Vatican." The narrative concludes with the rise of the new Christian Democratic Party of 1943 and the return of De Gasperi to Italian politics during World War II, as the fascist regime collapsed. A brief summary of the most important postwar developments in Italy has been provided to bring the story up to date. This study has implications reaching far beyond the limits of Italian history, reflecting as it does on such contemporary questions as the compatibility between Catholicism and modern democracy, and the possible ties between Catholic statesmen and the Church hierarchy.

In his Autobiography, Mill paid scant attention to his long imperial career, and following his lead, later commentators have concluded that Indian administration was insignificant for Mill’s intellectual development. Based upon extensive investigation of Mill’s dispatches to India, this book rejects the long-accepted interpretation and suggests that important parallels exist between Mill’s development as a thinker and his neglected India House career. It shows that at each step of Mill’s intellectual maturation-rigorous early training at his father’s side, youthful rebellion accompanied by a searching out of alternative opinions, and mature retreat from the extreme positions of his rebellious phase-Mill took up or abandoned administrative ideas that have much in common with the more abstract concepts that he was absorbing or shedding. For example, Mill’s fascination with Romantic doctrines during the time of his mental crisis is shown to have had an Indian dimension. At the same time Mill concluded that Romantic doctrines were useful for amending Utilitarian ideas, he fell under the influences of key imperial administrators who advanced pragmatic policies for India that reinforced many Romantic ideas. Consequently, Mill modified his father’s naïve plans for reforming India, just as he altered Utilitarian doctrine in general, in favor of more complex notions about reform and progress. The author explores other parallels in Mill’s evolving intellectual and administrative priorities and concludes that at his India House desk Mill found not only plenty of supporting evidence for his shifting intellectual positions but also ample opportunity to apply the abstract ideas that mattered most to him at different times of his life. In this way, the author challenges the picture of Mill’s imperial career-as a dull and unimportant part of his life-that Mill painted for posterity in his Autobiography. He further suggest that Mill belittled his long India House experience because it did not fit the narrative structure he wanted to impose on his past. Since the essential story of Mill’s Autobiography is one of a great mind being formed by interacting with other great minds, the banal concerns of Indian administration could hardly play a large role. The author also examines Mill’s intellectual relationship with imperialism in the light of recent colonial discourse theory. He concludes that Mill altered his general social and political views as a result of the British experience in India and that his mature views of radical reform in Ireland and Great Britain owed much to the years that he spent as an imperial administrator.

He enables the reader to see Chicherin’s intellectual pattern as a whole and to understand the reasons why generations of educated Russians have taken his life and work as one of the central bearing points for modern Russian intellectual history.” -S. Frederick Starr, Oberlin College This is the first volume of a two-volume intellectual and political biography of Boris Chicherin (1828-1904), the most important liberal thinker in nineteenth-century Russia. The author analyzes Chicherin’s gradual emergence as a reformist during the reign of Nicholas I, his activities as a prominent spokesman for liberal reform, and his defense of conservative liberalism before his disillusionment in the mid-1860’s with both Russian government and society. Chicherin’s early liberalism distinguished civil rights, such as freedom of conscience and of speech, from political rights, such as constitutional guarantees of suffrage and representative government. He contended that only a strong centralized state could simultaneously keep order and promulgate sweeping civil reforms, for when nations lacking democratic experience embark on extensive reforms, the absence of a powerful state apparatus may lead to uncontrolled revolutionary ferment. The book is not a conventional biography of Chicherin, but a portrait of the cultural context in which he and other early Russian liberals operated. It deals with broad issues in Russian intellectual and political history: the development of liberalism out of the Westernism of the 1840’s; the differentiation of early Russian liberalism from Russian socialism; the connections between educated liberal society and the enlightened bureaucrats; the woman question, the Polish problem, and the abolition of serfdom; and finally liberalism’s prospects in reformed Russia. The second volume will analyze Chicherin’s life and thought from 1867 to 1904, tracing his intellectual evolution from conservative liberal to “classical liberal.” G.M.

Sociologists, political scientists, and those in native American studies will certainly pay attention to the book, and I do not think that historians and anthropologies will ignore it. It is a book that cannot be ignored. If importance is measured by the ability to attract attention in a variety of disciplines, then this will be an important and much-discussed book.” -Jonathan Turner, University of California, Riverside Under what conditions can democratic governments be formed and become stable? The author addresses this question in a unique way that brings sociological and political theory to bear on the study of traditional societies, long the preserve of historians and anthropologists. By examining in detail the history of four American Indian societies-the Cherokee, the Choctaw, the Chickasaw, and the Creek-the author documents a general theory of politics and constitutional government. The four societies present an opportunity to study the process of democratic institution building in a controlled, comparative historical context. The societies were subject to similar geopolitical relations with the United States; they were incorporated into the same sequence of world economic system relations (initially fur trade and then the cotton market); they experienced the emergence of class structures; and they all produced some form of constitutional democracy. The Cherokee, however, adopted a stable constitutional government earlier and with less coercion than the other three nations. Why was this so? With the aid of comparative analysis, the author finds the answer in the Cherokee differentiation of politics from the nationally and religiously ordered clan system. This set of institutional relations allowed the Cherokee to maintain a strong sense of social solidarity while tolerating conflict, increased political differentiation, and formation of a political nationality. The other three societies were either less differentiated or less socially unified. They formed their constitutional governments thirty to forty years later than the Cherokee and with more internal political coercion-and, in the Creek case, with less political stability. The formation and stabilization of democratic state governments is a major issue in such contemporary phenomena as political change in Third World nations and the transformation of the governments of Eastern Europe. The four case studies presented in this book form the basis of a new and powerful theoretical argument for understanding historical patterns of democratic change, political stability, and the relations of political power.

Archetype of the frontier newspaper, The Enterprise today carries on the uninhibited character and disregard of journalistic convention that marked its beginnings. Its story is part of the romantic chronicle of the Old West. Founded at Mormon Station in 1858, the Enterprise next year packed up its editors, type cases, and imposing stone to follow the rush to Virginia City, where the bonanzas of the Comstock Lode had just been uncovered. Amid the low tumults and gaudy uproars of Virginia City, the frock-coated editors of The Enterprise proved as dexterous in formal duels as they were with type stick and whisky bottle. Between advertisements of fancy coffins and huzzas or boos for touring actresses, its columns conveyed the often outrageous history of a nation marching toward Manifest Destiny. The fame of an early reporter on its staff who signed his stories "Mark Twain" lent it a literary glamour it has never relinquished. The Enterprise is still a name to stir the pulse. Its editorial page is quoted from the New York Herald Tribune to the Portland Oregonian. It is now owned and edited by Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg -- praised by Stewart Holbrook as "Nevada's peerless ambassadors to less favored parts of the world." Here Mr. Beebe gives the story of The Enterprise in florid, gee-whiz style reminiscent of bonanza times and no less appropriate today.

Exotic Memories : Literature, Colonialism, and the Fin de Siècle $19.48 Chris Bongie Book This book focuses on the literature of exoticism at the turn of the last century and how it foreshadows our own fin de siècle. Earlier writers of exoticism had turned away from the West and its modernity, rejecting the social changes caused by industrialization and displacing onto “savage” or “primitive” cultures their aspirations for political freedom. By the turn of the century, however, European nations had reduced vast areas of the globe to colonial rule and this global exportation of Western social norms and economic systems had incremental effect on the literature of exoticism. By concentrating on writers from the age of New Imperialism (1880-1920), this reveals an important contradiction at the heart of the exoticist impulse: the very reason that enabled European writers to go in search of exotic Others ensured the eventual disappearance of the exotic. Turn-of-the-century writers of exoticism thus give voice to a deep nostalgia both for the values supposedly lost to the West in its process of modernization and for those once exotic places in which they found, with increasing disappointment, not pristine innocence but merely the traces of their own culture. The author concentrates on four writers-Jules Verne, Pierre Loti, Victor Segalen, and Joseph Conrad-although he touches on a number of other writers, and even painters, like Paul Gauguin. The works of these four writers foreground attitudes and assumptions useful for understanding a wide array of phenomena: an examination of these works shows how nostalgia for a cultural Other was built into the intellectual configuration of modernism, throws light on the early history of anthropology, and helps us understand features of our own cultural formation that are becoming increasingly important in today’s global village. Making an explicit link between turn-of-the-century exoticism and the present day, the book concludes with a critical assessment of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s neo-exoticist attachment to a supposedly revolutionary Third World in his poetry and literary criticism. The book’s critical stance is noteworthy, drawing its basic assumptions from pensi-ero debole, the “weak thought” of the contemporary Italian philosopher Gianni Vattimo, whose poststructuralist theories are only now becoming known in the United States. “Weak thought” seeks to supersede outmoded, metaphysical categories often thought, not by replacing them with something new, but by an elegiac, recollection and rhetorical dwelling within those categories. The author also makes creative use of narrative theory, and draws on the recent “new historicism,” reading literary texts to excellent effect against the historical events that made them possible.

Casuistry is acutely analyzed as an instrument of pastoral care, a colonizing agent (i.e., an instrument of social and political control), and an epistemological procedure focusing on the difficult boundary between culpability and innocence. The language of analysis is perceptive and rigorous, based on real learning.” - David Bevington, University of Chicago This book examines the central role of casuistry-the science of resolving problems of moral choice, known as “cases of conscience”-in Elizabethan religious, political, and literary culture. In the process, the author develops a theory of casuistical hermeneutics in a synthesis of new historicist and post-structuralist methodologies, a synthesis made intelligible in terms applied within the discourses of ideological and epistemological crisis that late-sixteenth-century casuistry both addressed and provoked. Casuistry gained unprecedented notoriety in the last two decades of Elizabeth’s reign, emerging as an ambiguous practice that continued to be claimed as a heuristic procedure while it also came to function as a locus of moral and epistemological uncertainty. The author shows the equivocal nature of casuistry to be the effect of the inherently dialogic activity of the word “conscience.” Believed to be a sacred repository of truth as well as hermeneutic operation, conscience both embodied the culture’s received norms and subjected to scrutiny the social and political negotiations that produced and maintained these norms. The author examines the application of casuistry in wide-ranging but interrelated documents: Elizabeth’s two speeches to Parliament concerning the fate of Mary, Queen of Scot; representative manuals of casuistry; accounts of the secret movements of the English Catholic mission and Walsingham’s intelligence network; the Siena Sieve” portrait of Elizabeth; and, most notably, the fifth book of Spenser’s, The Faerie Queene. The author establishes casuistical hermeneutics as a central organizing principle of Spenserian narrative and charts the connection between Spenserian narrative and novelistic discourse (in Bakhtin’s send of the term). The documents yield new insights into the politics of ambiguity and misreading in the Elizabethan period, variously exploiting the casuistical doctrines of equivocation, “honest dissimulation,” and mental reservation, as well as what the author calls the rhetoric of inviolability, which was associated with the voice of conscience and appropriated by monarch and dissidents alike. That rhetoric depended on a politic self-censorship that proved indispensable to the maintenance of the culture’s norms, producing narrative structures that represent scandalous-and theoretically unrepresentable-insights. Reading the text of casuistry in the Renaissance illumines the pivotal, complementary processes of reading and writing the texts through which Elizabethan culture defined itself-its texts of power, its hierarchy of values and norms, its taboos, and its tacit or naturalized protocol for determining canonical texts and “good” readings.

The assembled evidence constitutes the largest annual, county-level time-series o collective violence events n any part of the world, and the 630 recorded cases are used to test the major social science theories on the origins of collective violence. Using systematic data collected from local gazetteers on natural calamities, size of harvests, famine relief, physical terrain, local construction, and troop deployment, the author advances and validates a rational-choice argument that violence increased when survival in a subsistence economy became uncertain and the likelihood of punishment was low. Analyzing the administrative effectiveness and coercive capacity of the Ming state, the author also finds evidence to support a complementary structuralist explanation for increase collective violence in times of lax rulers, state insolvency, and inadequate welfare and tax policies. After an introductory chapter, the author explicates the main theoretical and methodological issues of collective violence and sketches the empirical pattern of rebellions and banditry, differentiating them by the level of threat they posed to the regime and by the socio-political profile of participating groups. In the next four chapters, he relates the Ming empirical configuration to four theoretical frameworks for collective violence: rational choice, which includes the issue of motive and choice-why people chose to become bandits; opportunity, in which the level of Ming collective violence is related to variations in a regime’s coercive capacity; social change, which is used to shed light on food riots, anti-tax rebellions, and conflict between employers and employees and between natives and outsiders; and class conflict, which prompts the author to assess the Marxist explanation for collective violence by investigating revolts of commoners against imperial clansmen, bond-servants against masters, and tenants against landlords. The final chapter presents the author’s conclusions on why and how people became outlaws in the Ming dynasty and point to questions for future research. James W.

Fogel Book Shimada Kenji is one of Japan’s greatest sinologists, with formidable scholarly accomplishments in many fields-classical Chinese thought, Neo-Confucianism in China and Japan, late Qing thought, the 1911 Revolution, and Sino-Japanese relations. This book consists of two long essays touching on one of Shimada’s abiding themes, the influence of domestic Chinese systems of thought on the development of Chinese revolutionary thought. This massive project engages Shimada’s greatest strength, a profound awareness of and deep study in the history of Chinese philosophy and religion, when examining the people and ideas that culminated in the 1911 Revolution and the end of the imperial institution in China. Unlike most other scholars, Shimada takes his modern protagonists with complete seriousness when they draw on seemingly traditional ideas to justify radical change in the late nineteenth and earl twentieth centuries. Zhang Binglin, the subject of the first essay in this book, is arguably the most misunderstood figure among the key revolutionaries of the 1911 period. The appearance of this classic essay, “Zhang Binglin: Traditional Chinese Scholar and Revolutionary” (1970), marked the first time that Zhang had been assessed as a whole person. Shimada explains how Zhang himself saw the inextricable links between a wholehearted devotion to traditional Chinese scholarship-indeed, the very preservation of that tradition- and the revolutionary cause. Often dismissed as a crackpot, brilliant or otherwise, or a perverse intransigent incapable of comprehending the modern world as it passed him by, Zhang has never received the kind of attention in the West that his importance warrants. The second essay, “Confucius in the Era of the 1911 Revolution” (1978), deals with an issue that has never before received concerted attention. How could the figure of Confucius have been deified by the leaders of the 1898 Reform Movement and, less than two decades later, be excoriated by the leaders of the May Fourth Movement? Shimada analyzes the views concerning Confucianism of all the major groups (including the Qing government and overseas Chinese in Europe) in the period under study (1895-1919) before suggesting some answers to this fascinating question.

The basis of the work is the rich documentation that survives from efforts to prosecute cases of idolatry and witch-craft. The author closely examines four such cases-Indian peasants living in central Mexico who proclaimed themselves successors of the gods during various stages of the colonial era (in 1537, 1659, 1665, and 1761). Drawing on the testimony of these man-gods and their followers, the author describes the emergence of these native leaders, discusses their individual qualities, and evaluates their impact and hold on their followers. He also sets out in substance their speeches and depositions, which provide a rare critique of colonial society. Coming from the lower classes, socially and culturally marginal, these man-gods tried to understand and surmount the profound changes that were crushing their society. Their actions were doomed to failure, but they reveal a dynamism and creativity that have been ignored by conventional historians. In a more general way, the book demonstrates through concrete examples how popular cultures constantly change and recreate their own traditions, and how vanquished and dominated societies, in order to construct a new identity, create new cultural forms.

Warriors, Merchants, and Slaves The State and Economy in the Middle Niger Valley, 1700-1914 $20.56 Richard L. Roberts Book Over the course of two centuries, the region of the Middle Niger valley of the Western Sudan was dominated by three successive states: the indigenous Segu Bambara state, the Islamic Umarian state, and the French colonial state. In each of these states, warriors were the rulers, and not surprisingly warfare was the primary expression of state power. The survival of each state depended on its ability to reproduce its capacity to make war; in order to do so, the warrior state intervened in the economy. In each of the three states, the interrelationship of warfare, the state, and the economy produced different results. How the state actually intervened in the economy and how this intervention influenced the structure and performance of the economy is the subject of this book. During the 200 years under study, the regional economy of the Middle Niger valley expanded and contracted in response to the state’s capacity to provide conditions favorable to commercial development, capital accumulation, and investment. When the Segu Bambara state was able to control the autonomy of its warriors, the state encouraged the expansion of the regional economy. The Umarians, on the other hand, preyed upon producers within the region, and created conditions that discouraged long-term investments. The very success of the French conquest initially encouraged investment, especially in the form of slaves. After 1894, however, conflict between civilian colonial authorities and the French military undermined the economic and social foundations erected by the military. From 1905 to 1914, slaves throughout the Western Sudan left their masters and helped once again to transform the structure and performance of the economy. Richard L.

Ferruolo Book The University of Paris is generally regarded as the first true university, the model for other universities not only in France but also throughout Europe, including Oxford and Cambridge. In this book, the author challenges two prevailing myths about the origins of the university: first, that the university developed naturally to meet the utilitarian and professional educational needs of European society in the late Middle Ages, and second, that the university was born as a product of the struggle by scholars to gain freedom and autonomy from external authorities, notably from local church officials. In the twelfth century, Paris was the educational center of Europe, with a large number of schools and masters attracting and competing for students. Over the decades, the schools of Paris had many critics-monastic reformers, humanists, satirists, and moralists-and the focus of this book is on the role of these critics in the development of the schools into a university. The author argues that it was the educational values and ideas promoted by the critics-ideas of the unity of knowledge, the need to share learning freely and willingly, and the higher purposes and social importance of education-that first inspired the scholars of Paris to join together to form a single guild. Their programs for educational reforms are also seen in the first set of statutes promulgated for the nascent University of Paris in 1215. Stephen C.

The Amazon rubber trade was one of the most important export booms in the history of Latin America, dominating the economic life of the Amazon for 70 years until the successful cultivation of rubber trees by the British in Southeast Asia. Yet this long period of vigorous economic activity left the basic structure of Amazonian society relatively unchanged. One of the author’s main concerns is to explore why rubber exports did not generate substantial growth in either the industrial or the agricultural sector, and she finds the answers primarily in the relations of production and exchange that characterized the Amazon’s extractive economy. The study also considers the impact of political decentralization and regionalism on the Amazonian economy, draws comparisons with the coffee boom in Sao Paulo that induced sustained industrial growth in that area, and traces the consequences of the rubber economy’s collapse on the social, political, and economic life in the Amazon.

Joseph Book The Chinese political system has undergone a profound transformation since the death of Mao Zedong in 1976, and nowhere is this more evident than in the effort to exorcise the influence of the ultra-Leftism that is alleged by the current Chinese leadership to have characterized much of the last two decades of the Maoist era. The author places the post-Mao assault on radicalism into the historical and ideological perspectives of earlier critiques of ultra-Leftism within the Marxist tradition and the Chinese Communist Party. He traces the evolution of the critique in the writings of Marx, Engels, Lemin, and Mao and carefully examines three anti-Leftist criticism and rectification campaigns in recent Chinese history: the retreat from the Great Leap Forward of 1958-61, the campaign against “Swindlers like Liu Shaoqi” carried out in 1971-73 after the death of Lin Biao, and the criticism of the Gang of Four following their purge in 1976. These cases are analyzed in terms of both the political conflict surrounding each campaign and the ideological issues raised by the critique of the ultra-Leftism. Understanding the nature and extent of the critique of ultra-Leftism helps to clarify the ideological world in which the Chinese leaders operate, to explain some of the most perplexing events in the history of the People’s Republic, and to assess the changes that continue to shape the political environments of post-Mao China.

Cole Book Potosí, a mining center in what is now Bolivia, was the most productive source of silver in the Spanish American Empire between the mid-1500’s and the late seventeenth century. Much of this success was attributable, at least initially, to the mita, a system of draft Indian labor instituted by Viceroy Francisco de Toledo in 1573 for the working of the silver mines and refineries. Bitter debate swirled around the mita during most of its 250-year history. It was assailed by its enemies as a form of servitude worse than slavery and accused of depopulating the provinces subject to it, yet it was supported by many, however, reluctantly, who believed that the Spanish Empire depended on Potosí silver for its survival. The author traces the evolution of the mita from its inception to the end of the Hapsburg epoch in 1700. The primary focus is on the metamorphosis of the mita under the pressures of changing production realities at Potosí and demographic developments in the provinces from which the Indians were drafted. The author describes the role of native headmen (kurakas) in that system, the means used by Indians to evade service, and the efforts of the mining guild to tailor the mita to its needs. The secondary focus in on the Hapsburg government’s administration of the mita, especially those factors that prevented the Crown or its viceroys from being fully effective. Jeffrey A.

The Development of Kamakura Rule, 1180-1250 $19.90 Jeffrey P. Mass Book An examination of a formative period in medieval Japanese history, this study analyzes the origins and consequences of the Jôkyû War of 1221, a struggle of modest military proportions but of major political and legal importance. In defeating the traditional Court at Koto, the warrior government at Kamakura became the dominant national power; it subsequently created a highly efficient administration that gave Japan a century of social and political stability. Crucial to the success of Kamakura rule was the development of a system of justice that has long been recognized as one of Japan’s outstanding achievements. The author studies this system in detail, describing the forms and techniques for arbitrating disputes and showing exactly how suits were brought, expedited and resolved. The book includes annotated translations of 144 documents, a selection from the materials on which the book is based. These documents illuminate the changing power relationships after the Jôkyû War and the developing stages of the judicial process. Jeffrey P.

Four kinds of issues are addressed: theoretical problems in the relationship of literature and society, the reading public, the rhetoric and ideologies of writers and critics, and the relationship between fictional and social worlds. In confronting some of the ways in which the social and literary aspects of Russian culture have imposed themselves upon each other, this volume seeks an approach to Russian literature that neglects neither the dynamics of social interaction nor the forms and traditions of literature.

Each group is remarkably homogeneous, and each feels moral superiority over the other, the Indians despite the general societal view of White superiority and Indian “profaneness.” How and why an enduring equilibrium involving little overt conflict has been established is explained in terms of symbolic interaction. The author shows how certain cultural values, Indian and White, are not only guidelines and goals of behavior but also symbolic means of presenting, evaluating, and defining the self. After a discussion of the main concepts of symbolic interactionism, the author describes the community, the aboriginal Indian way of life, and the historical events that attended White settlement of the area. Detailed descriptions of the day-to-day interaction between Indians and Whites are then considered: the rules of etiquette and personal comportment, how the Indians are seen by Whites as breaking these rules, and the various adaptive strategies that the Indians have adopted in dealing with White reactions to their “profaneness.” A final chapter discusses the usefulness of symbolic interaction in understanding the process of acculturation.

Using quantitative and computer methods, the author analyzes homicide as a social relationship that can tell us much about medieval life and social organization that might otherwise remain unknown or mysterious. Among the chief topics investigated are: the frequency of homicide; the conflicts between family members, masters, and servants, and neighbors that produced murder; the way these groups cooperated with one another in assaulting others; the social and economic statuses of killers and their victims; the treatment of accused killers in court and how verdicts reflected social attitudes toward violence; the effects of urbanization on patterns of homicide; and some of the general cultural and social factors that encouraged or impeded the use of violence.

After describing the emergence of militarist factions after the death of Yuan Shih-k’ai in 1916, the author analyzes their membership, recruiting capabilities, and sources of cohesion, the process presenting new information on their organization, methods of recruitment, quality of training, types of weapons, tactical and strategic concepts, and means of financing. On the strengths of this information, he offers a convincing explanation in balance-of-power terms for the baffling advances, retreats, clashes, and changes of allegiance that have puzzled students of the era. His analysis makes clear how the leading warlords viewed the state, themselves, and each other. A concluding chapter presents an explanation based on systems theory for Kuomingtang’s triumph over the warlords who had sought to confine its domain to Kwang-tng. The author has included as appendixes, the chronology of events and lists of national leaders and provincial military authorities from 1916 to 1928.
