The Tokugawa World

The Tokugawa World

With over 60 contributions The Tokugawa World presents the latest scholarship on early modern Japan from an international team of specialists in a volume that is unmatched in its breadth and scope. In its early modern period under the Tokugawa shoguns Japan was a world apart. For over two centuries the shogun’s subjects were forbidden to travel abroad and few outsiders were admitted. Yet in this period Japan evolved as a nascent capitalist society that could rapidly adjust to its incorporation into the world system after its forced opening in the 1850s. The Tokugawa World demonstrates how Japan’s early modern society took shape and evolved: a world of low and high cultures comic books and Confucian academies soba restaurants and imperial music recitals rigid enforcement of social hierarchy yet also ongoing resistance to class oppression. A world of outcasts puppeteers herbal doctors samurai officials businesswomen scientists scholars blind lutenists peasant rebels tea-masters sumo wrestlers and wage workers. Covering a variety of features of the Tokugawa world including the physical landscape economy art and literature religion and thought and education and science this volume is essential reading for all students and scholars of early modern Japan.

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.
