Citizens, Civil Society, and Activism under the EPRDF Regime in Ethiopia
An Analysis from Below
This collection asks how citizens and civil society express their interests and exert their agency in authoritarian settings. Focusing on the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front regime over three decades, the book explores civic activism in Ethiopia, presenting diverse examples of how citizens have (re)shaped the country.
Confessions of an Immigrant’s Daughter
Laura Salverson’s autobiography describes a young immigrant woman’s rise above an early life of poverty, isolation, and upheaval. Confessions of an Immigrant’s Daughter depicts, sympathetically and graphically, the agonizing process of an immigrant Icelandic community adjusting to life in a foreign place.
Disparate Remedies
Making Medicines in Modern India
At present India is a leading producer, distributer, and consumer of generic medicines. Tracing this development, Disparate Remedies explores the integrated histories of the medical market and industrially manufactured medicines in colonial and postcolonial India, engaging with the cultures of both consumption and production.
Forensic Colonialism
Genetics and the Capture of Indigenous Peoples
Though forensic genetic technologies are upheld as important tools of justice; the development of these technologies has been accomplished through the ongoing genetic servitude of Indigenous Peoples. Forensic Colonialism explores how these controversial methods serve only privileged populations, and keep others exploited and criminalized.
The Holy Spirit and the Eagle Feather
The Struggle for Indigenous Pentecostalism in Canada
The Holy Spirit and the Eagle Feather traces the history of Indigenous Pentecostalism in Canada. It tells the story of how Indigenous Pentecostals overcame the entrenched colonialism of the mission-led church to become religious leaders in their own communities, as well as agents for decolonization and reconciliation.
Hush Little Baby
The Invention of Infant Sleep in Modern France
Hush Little Baby details the transformation of infant sleep from an unremarkable event to a precarious stage of life that attracted interest from medical experts, artists, parents, and entrepreneurs. Ventura shows how ideas about babies’ sleep that circulated in nineteenth-century France created many of the expectations keeping parents awake today.
Kingdom of Barracks
Polish Displaced Persons in Allied-Occupied Germany and Austria
Kingdom of Barracks depicts the texture of everyday life in refugee camps in postwar Europe. Taking a bottom-up perspective, Katarzyna Nowak examines the experiences of Polish Displaced Persons in the shadow of the mounting Cold War and explores the formation of cultural identity in exile through the lenses of class, gender, body, and nationality.
The Legacy of 9/11
Views from North America
While 9/11 was understood at the time as a world-changing event in international relations, the uneven long-term effects for North America could not have been predicted. Twenty years later, The Legacy of 9/11 explores the political, economic, trade and border and security and defence implications.
Lines Drawn across the Globe
Reading Richard Hakluyt’s “Principal Navigations”
Around 1600, Richard Hakluyt sought to honour his nation by publishing a compilation of every document he could find relating to English voyages beyond Europe’s boundaries. In a dazzling account of an editorial project seminal to England’s encounter with the world and the nation’s idea of itself, Fuller unlocks Hakluyt’s work for modern readers.
An Orchestra at My Fingertips
A History of the Canadian Electronic Ensemble
An Orchestra at My Fingertips is the first study of the history, activities, and legacy of the Canadian Electronic Ensemble. Covering the ensemble’s first fifty years, Alexa Woloshyn features musician biographies as well as analyses of the CEE’s compositions, improvisations, commissions, and performance practice.
Rethinking Decentralization
Mapping the Meaning of Subsidiarity in Federal Political Culture
Forty per cent of the world’s population lives in federal countries, each facing their own crises and successes. Rethinking Decentralization explores what makes a successful federal government by centering the unique role of public attitude in maintaining the fragile institutions of federalism.
