The Interwar World

The Interwar World

The Interwar World collects an international group of over 50 contributors to discuss analyze and interpret this crucial period in twentieth-century history. A comprehensive understanding of the interwar era has been limited by Euro-American approaches and strict adherence to the temporal limits of the world wars. The volume’s contributors challenge the era’s accepted temporal and geographic framings by privileging global processes and interactions. Each contribution takes a global thematic approach integrating world regions into a shared narrative. Three central questions frame the chapters. First when was the interwar? Viewed globally the years 1918 and 1939 are arbitrary limits and the volume explicitly engages with the artificiality of the temporal framework while closely examining the specific dynamics of the 1920s and 1930s. Second where was the interwar? Contributors use global history methodologies and training in varied world regions to decenter Euro-American frameworks engaging directly with the usefulness of the interwar as both an era and an analytical category. Third how global was the interwar? Authors trace accelerating connections in areas such as public health and mass culture counterbalanced by processes of economic protectionism exclusive nationalism and limits to migration. By approaching the era thematically the volume disaggregates and interrogates the meaning of the ‘global’ in this era. As a comprehensive guide this volume offers overviews of key themes of the interwar period for undergraduates while offering up-to-date historiographical insights for postgraduates and scholars interested in this pivotal period in global history.

The Pentecostal World

The Pentecostal World

The Pentecostal World provides a comprehensive and critical introduction to one of the most vibrant and diverse expressions of contemporary Christianity. Unlike many books on Pentecostalism this collection of essays from all continents does not attempt to synthesize and simplify the movement’s inherent diversity and fragmented dispersion. Instead the global flows of Pentecostalism are firmly grounded in local histories and expressions as well as the various modes of their worldwide reproduction. The book thus argues for a new understanding of Pentecostal and Charismatic movements that accounts for the simultaneous processes of pluralization and homogenization in contemporary World Christianity. Written by a distinguished team of international contributors across various disciplines the volume is comprised of six parts with each offering a critical perspective on classical themes in the study of Pentecostalism. Led by a programmatic introduction the thirty-six chapters within these parts explore a variety of themes: history and historiography conversion spirit beliefs and exorcism prosperity politics gender relations sexual identities racism development migration pilgrimage interreligious relations media ecumenism and academic research. The Pentecostal World is essential reading for students and researchers in anthropology history political science religious studies sociology and theology. The book will also be very useful for those in related fields such as culture studies black studies ethnic studies and gender studies.

Private Correspondence between Sir Harry Parkes and Edmund Hammond 1869-1872

This is a new series which publishes for the first time the correspondences of Sir Harry Smith Parkes (1828 – 1885) the second British Minister of Japan and includes the complete transcriptions of his ‘private’ letters to and from Edmund Hammond permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs who was the decision maker about major issues in the British relation to Asia and his successors at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Chronologically arranged the series covers all such letters during his 18 years in Japan and with the first volume for Bakumatsu the end of the Shogunate era. Parkes arrived in Japan in 1865 as the second Minister Plenipotentiary and Consul General of the United Kingdom to Japan and stayed at the position till 1883. He was one of the few who observed Japan during its turbulent period of Westernization and supported the reformers to establish the new government. His efforts and services alongside his secretaries such as Ernest Satow George Aston and A. B. Freeman-Mitford saw the modernization of Japan starting under the strong influence of Britain. Despite his leading role between Japan and the West in early years his days and activities in Japan are less known and not widely studied due to the lack of primary source information as his experiences remained unpublished unlike his predecessor Rutherford Alcock who authored The Capital of the Tycoon or Ernest Satow’s A Diplomat in Japan. Apart from two volumes in Parkes’ biography by F. V. Dickins no contemporary sources of his life are available. This series of private correspondence of Sir Harry Parkes will fill such a gap and will be of interest for scholars and student of Japan and Anglo-Japanese history. All correspondence included in the volumes are fully annotated. Also included are his letters with other members of the ministry and documents such as conference minutes which will provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject. | Private Correspondence between Sir Harry Parkes and Edmund Hammond 1869-1872
