Engaging with the Past c.250-c.650

Engaging with the Past c.250-c.650

Between c. 250 and c. 650 the way the past was seen recorded and interpreted for a contemporary audience changed fundamentally. Only since the 1970s have the key elements of this historiographical revolution become clear with the recasting of the period across both east and west as ‘late antiquity’. Historiography however has struggled to find its place in this new scholarly world. No longer is decline and fall the natural explanatory model for cultural and literary developments but continuity and transformation. In addition the emergence of ‘late antiquity’ coincided with a methodological challenge arising from the ‘linguistic turn’ which impacted on history writing in all eras. This book is focussed on the development of modern understanding of how the ways of seeing and recording the past changed in the course of adjusting to emerging social religious and cultural developments over the period from c. 250 to c. 650. Its overriding theme is how modern historiography has adapted over the past half century to engaging with the past between c. 250 and c. 650. Now as explained in this book the newly dominant historiographical genres (chronicles epitomes church histories) are seen as the preferred modes of telling the story of the past rather than being considered rudimentary and naïve. | Engaging with the Past c. 250-c. 650

Remodelling to Prepare for Independence The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46

Remodelling to Prepare for Independence The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46

Remodelling to Prepare for Independence: The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46 illuminates the implications of the USA’s final phase of colonial rule in the Philippine Islands. It explores the Filipino side of decolonisation and the management of the built environment in the years immediately prior to self-rule. This book shakes off the collaboration vs. resistance paradigm that empire histories generally follow and consequently yields an original vantage point to comprehend transition within an Asian society in the years immediately prior to during and after World War Two. This will not only deepen insight of the American Empire but also grants the opportunity to tie Philippine political-cultural change to the global history of urban planning’s advancement. Accordingly it opens a new window to rethink Filipino ethno-history and societal evolution alongside the opportunity to compare the Philippines with other nations that undertook planning projects as part of their decolonisation process and early-postcolonial advancement. The book utilises theoretical frames in order to help creatively excavate the era 1935–46 for the purpose of not just revealing what public works occurred but to also uncover what those projects meant to the Commonwealth Government the BPW’s staff and the public who benefitted from public works projects. The book will be relevant to students and researchers of Urban History Asian and American (Empire) History and Imperial and Colonial Studies. Architects planners and members of the public who are interested in the form and meaning of urban environments designed/constructed in the past will also find the publication to be of great interest. | Remodelling to Prepare for Independence The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46

Citizenship Community and Democracy in India From Bombay to Maharashtra c. 1930 - 1960

Citizenship Community and Democracy in India From Bombay to Maharashtra c. 1930 - 1960

On 1 May 1960 Bombay Province was bifurcated into the two new provinces of Gujarat and Maharashtra amidst scenes of great public fanfare and acclaim. This decision marked the culmination of a lengthy campaign for the creation of Samyukta (‘united’) Maharashtra in western India which had first been raised by some Marathi speakers during the interwar years and then persistently demanded by Marathi-speaking politicians ever since the mid-1940s. In the context of an impending independence some of its proponents had envisaged Maharashtra as an autonomous domain encompassing a community of Marathi speakers which would be constructed around exclusivist notions of belonging and majoritarian democratic frames. As a result linguistic reorganisation was also quickly considered to be a threat posing questions for others about the extent to which they belonged to this imagined space. This book delivers ground-breaking perspectives upon nascent conceptions and workings of citizenship and democracy during the colonial/postcolonial transition. It examines how processes of democratisation and provincialisation during the interwar years contributed to demands and concerns and offers a broadened and imaginative outlook on India’s partition. Drawing upon a novel body of archival research the book ultimately suggests Pakistan might also be considered as just one paradigmatic example of a range of coterminous calls for regional autonomy and statehood informed by a majoritarian democratic logic that had an extensive contemporary circulation. It will be of interest to academics in the fields of South Asian history in general and the Partition in particular as well as to those interested in British colonialism and postcolonial studies. | Citizenship Community and Democracy in India From Bombay to Maharashtra c. 1930 - 1960

Honourable Intentions? Violence and Virtue in Australian and Cape Colonies c 1750 to 1850

Honourable Intentions? Violence and Virtue in Australian and Cape Colonies c 1750 to 1850

Honourable Intentions? compares the significance and strategic use of ‘honour’ in two colonial societies the Cape Colony and the early British settlements in Australia between 1750 and 1850. The mobile populations of emigrants and sojourners sailors and soldiers merchants and traders slaves and convicts who surged into and through these regions are not usually associated with ideas of honour. But in both societies competing and contradictory notions of honour proved integral to the ways in which colonisers and colonised free and unfree defended their status and insisted on their right to be treated with respect. During these times of flux concepts of honour and status were radically reconstructed. Each of the thirteen chapters considers honour in a particular sphere - legal political religious or personal - and in different contexts determined by the distinctive and changing matrix of race gender and class as well as the distinctions of free and unfree status in each colony. Early chapters in the volume show how and why the political ideological and moral stakes of the concept of honour were particularly important in colonial societies; later chapters look more closely at the social behaviour and the purchase of honour among specific groups. Collectively the chapters show that there was no clear distinction between political and social life and that honour crossed between the public and private spheres. This exciting new collection brings together new and established historians of Australia and South Africa to highlight thought-provoking parallels and contrasts between the Cape and Australian colonies that will be of interest to all scholars of colonial societies and the concept of honour. | Honourable Intentions?

It offers the first detailed analysis of Liverpool's merchant community within a conceptual and historiographical framework which focuses on the economic social and cultural role of business elites in the nineteenth century. It explores the extent to which business success was predicated on the maintenance of networks of trust; analyses the importance of business culture in structuring commercial operations; and discusses the role of ethics trust and reputation within the changing framework of the business environment. Particular attention is paid to the role of women and the important contribution of the family to commercial success and the maintenance of social networks. Changes in business practice and social networks are also examined within a spatial context in order to assess the impact of the development of a distinct commercial centre and the clustering of commercial activity on interaction reputation and trust while particular attention is paid to the effect of suburbanization on existing associational networks the social cohesiveness of business culture and the cultural identity of the merchant community as a whole. | Networks of Influence and Power Business Culture and Identity in Liverpool's Merchant Community c. 1800 to 1914

Crusading at the Edges of Europe Denmark and Portugal c.1000 c.1250

Crusading at the Edges of Europe Denmark and Portugal c.1000 c.1250

This book is the first to compare Denmark and Portugal systematically in the High Middle Ages and demonstrates how the two countries became strong kingdoms and important powers internationally by their participation in the crusading movement. Communication in the Middle Ages was better developed than often assumed and institutions ideas and military technology was exchanged rapidly meaning it was possible to coordinate great military expeditions across the geographical periphery of Western Europe. Both Denmark and Portugal were closely connected to the sea and developed strong fleets at the entrance to the Baltic and in the Mediterranean Seas respectively. They also both had religious borders to the pagan Wends and to the Muslims that were pushed forward in almost continuous crusades throughout the centuries. Crusading at the Edges of Europe follows the major campaigns of the kings and crusaders in Denmark and Portugal and compares war-technology and crusading ideology highlighting how the countries learned from each other and became organised for war. | Crusading at the Edges of Europe Denmark and Portugal c. 1000 � c. 1250

A Leader's Guide to Competency-Based Education From Inception to Implementation

A Leader's Guide to Competency-Based Education From Inception to Implementation

As interest in competency-based education (CBE) continues to grow by leaps and bounds the need for a practical resource to guide development of high-quality CBE programs led the authors to write this book. Until now there has been no how-to manual that captures in one place a big picture view of CBE along with the down-to-earth means for building a CBE program. A variety of pressures are driving the growth in CBE including the need for alternatives to the current model of higher education (with its dismal completion rates); the potential to better manage the iron triangle of costs access and quality; the need for graduates to be better prepared for the workforce; and the demands of adult learners for programs with the flexible time and personalized learning that CBE offers. Designed to help institutional leaders become more competent in designing building and scaling high-quality competency-based education (CBE) programs this book provides context guidelines and process. The process is based on ten design elements that emerged from research funded by the Gates Foundation and sponsored by AAC&U ACE EDUCAUSE and the Competency-Based Education Network (C-BEN) with thought partners CAEL and Quality Matters. In short the book will serve administrators higher education leaders faculty staff and others who have an interest in CBE by:• Giving context to enable the audience to discover the importance of each design element and to help frame the CBE program (the “why”);• Providing models checklists and considerations to determine the “what” component for each design element;• Sharing outlines and templates for the design elements to enable institutions to build quality relevant and rigorous CBE programs (the “how”). | A Leader's Guide to Competency-Based Education From Inception to Implementation

Interpreting Residential Life Values to Practise

Interpreting Residential Life Values to Practise

First published in 1989 Interpreting Residential Life raises questions like – a) what makes residential establishments tick b) what is going on beneath the surface of the daily routine c) why is change so difficult to create and even more difficult to sustain and d) how can residential social workers evaluate their work?

Germs in the English Workplace c.1880–1945

Germs in the English Workplace c.1880–1945

This book looks at how the workplace was transformed through a greater awareness of the roles that germs played in English working lives from c. 1880 to 1945. Cutting across a diverse array of occupational settings – such as the domestic kitchen the milking shed the factory and the Post Office – it offers new perspectives on the history of the germ sciences. It brings to light the ways in which germ scientists sought to transform English working lives through new types of technical and educational interventions that sought to both eradicate and instrumentalise germs. It then asks how we can measure and judge the success of such interventions by tracing how workers responded to the potential applications of the germ sciences through their participation in friendly societies trade unions colleges and volunteer organisations. Throughout the book close attention is paid to reconstructing vernacular traditions of working with invisible life in order to better understand both the successes and failures of the germ sciences to transform the working practices and material conditions of different workplaces. The result is a more diverse history of the peoples politics and practices that went into shaping the germ sciences in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century England. | Germs in the English Workplace c. 1880–1945

The book also breaks new ground by attempting to gender diplomacy. Further it revisits the popular view that women were connected with the peace movements that grew up after the First World War because the notion of peace was associated with stereotypical female traits such as the rejection of violence and the nurturing rather than destruction of humankind. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Diplomacy and Statecraft. | Gendering Peace in Europe c. 1880–2000

India and the Responsibility to Protect

India and the Responsibility to Protect

Bloomfield charts India’s profoundly ambiguous engagement with the thorny problem of protecting vulnerable persons from atrocities without fatally undermining the sovereign state system a matter which is now substantially shaped by debates about the responsibility to protect (R2P) norm. Books about India’s evolving role in world affairs and about R2P have proliferated recently but this is the first to draw these two debates together. It examines India’s historical responses to humanitarian crises starting with the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War concentrating on the years 2011 and 2012 when India sat on the UN Security Council. Three serious humanitarian crises broke during its tenure - in C´te d'Ivoire Libya and Syria - which collectively sparked a ferocious debate within India. The book examines what became largely a battle over ’what sort of actor’ modern India is or should be to determine how this contest shaped both India’s responses to these humanitarian tragedies and also the wider debates about rising India’s international identity. The book’s findings also have important (and largely negative) implications for the broader effort to make R2P a recognised and actionable international norm. | India and the Responsibility to Protect
