Date of Publication: February 18, 2013
Publisher: Duke University Press Books
ISBN: 0822354217
“This slim book is free of academic jargon and instead exudes authenticity and positivity. The women’s stories about their own histories and current circumstances are handled capably by the authors who acknowledge the interesting dynamics that play out as they interview women whose own fathers rarely let them leave the house or attend secondary school. High school and undergraduate students interested in Latin American politics and women’s studies will especially find this intriguing and informative.” – Jennifer Stout, Library Journal

Title: Muslim Nationalism and the New Turks
Date of Publication: November 25, 2012
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691155186
“Turkey is a country of contradictions, and very few authors have managed to paint so complex a picture of it as White. It is a nation where the secular elite has dogmatically made war on all things Islamic, yet this same elite embraces a Turkish nationalism rooted in the Islamic religion. This is a well-written, engaging, and smart book about contemporary Turkey, one that will be widely read and discussed.” – Henri J. Barkey, Lehigh University

Title: Two-Timing Modernity: Homosocial Narrative in Modern Japanese Fiction
Date of Publication: November 19, 2012
Publisher: Harvard University Asia Center
ISBN: 0674067126
“Keith Vincent creatively illuminates the narrative structures, reading practices, and cultural assumptions through which key Japanese texts from the first half of the twentieth century articulate the close proximity of historical and developmental understandings of male-male desire to modern formulations of homosociality. Meticulously researched and rigorously argued, Two-Timing Modernity is a most welcome contribution to the field.” – James Reichert, Stanford University

“When and how did forgiveness become recognized as a moral attribute? The question has vexed – and divided – commentators for some years. This book admirably addresses the question in a series of wide-ranging chapters by a variety of experts. The editors have done the world of scholarship a great service by offering what I believe are now the definitive answers.” – Anthony Bash, Durham University

Title: The Paranoid Apocalypse: A Hundred Year Retrospective on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion
Date of Publication: December 12, 2011
Publisher: New York University Press
ISBN: 0814748929
“A timely and important volume that ought to be essential reading for students and scholars alike. The Shoah did not begin with concentration camps and trains. It began with words and ideas. The lies of the Protocols played a key role in marginalizing and dehumanizing European Jewry, paving the way for their brutal extermination. Remarkably, in the contemporary context, the Protocols are once again becoming widely used as effective propaganda, especially throughout much of the Middle East…This text provides an interdisciplinary, high caliber, scholarly analysis of a subject matter that is under-studied and of profound importance. “ – Charles Asher Small, Former Executive Director of the Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism

ISBN: 1107011833

Date of Publication: October 3, 2011
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691137803
“Litvin succeeds in describing the Arab Hamlet as a political and sociological phenomenon, without ever losing her grasp on the aesthetic. She is also refreshingly free from literary theory orthodoxies. . . . Rather, in engaging and lucid prose, she tells a story, and it is a compelling one.” – The Oxonian Review

Date of Publication: September 5, 2011
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199766266
“Lucidly written and solidly argued, Modernism’s Mythic Pose excavates a fascinating classicist-antimodernist genealogy of modernism. Preston’s impressive historical research interrupts the standard gendered dichotomy of antimodernism and avant-gardism and makes an important contribution to reconceiving transatlantic modernism.” -Laura Winkiel, author of Modernism, Race, and Manifestos
Author: Richard Landes [CAS]
Title: Heaven on Earth: The Varieties of the Millennial Experience
Date of Publication: August 4, 2011
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199753598
“Millennial expressions are found throughout history and are all around us. As Richard Landes demonstrates, some have extremely serious consequences. This is an erudite and informative cross-cultural study of the characteristics and dynamics of the varieties of millennial movements. There is much to be learned from this volume. Particularly welcome are the treatments of the secular millennial thought of Marx, and the Communist millennial movement in Russia and its influence on German Nazi millennialism. Richard Landes’s insightful analysis of millennial phenomena constitutes a major contribution to the study of history and current events.”–Catherine Wessinger, Rev. H. James Yamauchi, S.J.

Title: Ancestors, Virgins, and Friars: Christianity as Local Religion in Late Imperial China
Date of Publication: May 31, 2010
Publisher: Harvard University Asia Center
ISBN: 0674035968
“In this elegant and erudite book Menegon uncovers the lost history of a four-hundred-year-old Catholic community in China, showing brilliantly how Christianity has become localized, how it has become Chinese, how it has become part of local life. The book convincingly undermines the widespread notion that what is most important about Christianity in China is its foreignness. It needs to be read not only by scholars of Christianity but also by all scholars of late imperial China, who ignore Christianity at the expense of a full understanding of religious life. As the number of Christians grows explosively in China today, this book offers an invaluable account of the past and useful material for reflecting on the future.” — Michael Szonyi, Harvard University.

“In academic and political circles alike, the gentrification of local neighborhoods fuels contention over the major urban issues of the day: the rehabilitation of vacant land and defunct industrial buildings; the role of the arts, culture, and public space in the life of the city; and the rising inequality between wealthy and poor communities. In this terrific collection, Japonica Brown-Saracino presents a broad and inclusive intellectual map of our collective wrangling over these urban processes and their impact on the metropolitan landscape.” – David Grazian, Sociology, University of Pennsylvania

Selin’s analysis of the agreements that make up this regime provides important insights into the role of coalitions and institutional linkages in the complex and multi-scale governance efforts aimed at improving chemical safety. Highlighting an issue that to date has received less attention that it deserves, this book will be an invaluable resource for scholars and practitioners in the field of global environmental governance.” — Jennifer Clapp, CIGI Chair in International Governance and Professor of Environmental Studies, University of Waterloo, co-author of Paths to a Green World

This collection constitutes an important step beyond the older, diachronic understanding of Jewish history.” — Glenn Dynner, author of Men of Silk: The Hasidic Conquest of Polish Jewish Society

In this path-breaking inquest, Tim Longman brilliantly illuminates this long-neglected aspect of the Rwandan tragedy.
