Festival
Authors: Stoeltje Beverly J 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
An ancient and resilient cultural form, richly varied in organization and function across the world’s societies. For all their diversity, however, festivals display certain characteristic features. They occur at calendrically regulated intervals and are public in nature, participatory in ethos, complex in structure, and multiple in voice, scene, and purpose. Festivals are collective phenomena and serve purposes rooted in group life. Systems of reciprocity and of shared responsibility ensure the continuity of and participation in the festival through the distribution of prestige and production. Most festivals provide the opportunity for individual religious devotion or individual PERFORMANCE, and this opportunity is a primary motive for the occasion. Other unstated but important purposes of festivals are the expression of group identity through ancestor worship or memorialization, the performance of highly valued skills and talents, or the articulation of the group’s heritage. Rarely do such events use the term festival, employing instead a name related to the stated purposes or core symbols of the event: Mardi Gras (Catholic), Sukkot (Jewish), Hali (Hindu), Shalako (Zuni), Adae (Ghanaian), Calus (Romanian), Namahage (Japanese), Cowboy Reunion (American), and Feast of Fools (French).
The Dividing Paths
Authors: Hatley Tom 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This book focuses on the American Cherokee people and the South Carolina settlers in the years 1608, when Charleston was established as the main town in the region, until 1785, when a treaty effectively removed the Cherokees from the region. The two cultures and their communities are treated in parallel chapters. After 70 years of regular trade and nominal alliance, relations were exacerbated, especially during the Cherokee-English war of 1759 to 1761. The book is concerned as much with the interation between the two groups as the contrasts between them. The book contributes in major ways to understanding Indian-White relations in Colonial America.
The Pride of Havana A History of Cuban Baseball
Authors: Echevarria Roberto González 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
From the first amateur leagues of the 1860s to the exploits of Livan and Orlando “El Duque” Hernandez, here is the definitive history of baseball in Cuba. Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria expertly traces the arc of the game, intertwining its heroes and their stories with the politics, music, dance, and literature of the Cuban people. What emerges is more than a story of balls and strikes, but a richly detailed history of Cuba told from the unique cultural perch of the baseball diamond. Filling a void created by Cuba’s rejection of bullfighting and Spanish hegemony, baseball quickly became a crucial stitch in the complex social fabric of the island. By the early 1940s Cuba had become major conduit in spreading the game throughout Latin America, and a proving ground for some of the greatest talent in all of baseball, where white major leaguers and Negro League players from the U.S. all competed on the same fields with the cream of Latin talent. Indeed, readers will be introduced to several black ballplayers of Afro-Cuban descent who played in the Major Leagues before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier once and for all. Often dramatic, and always culturally resonant, Gonzalez Echevarria’s narrative expertly lays open the paradox of fierce Cuban independence from the U.S. with Cuba’s love for our national pastime. It shows how Fidel Castro cannily associated himself with the sport for patriotic p.r.—and reveals that his supposed baseball talent is purely mythical. Based on extensive primary research and a wealth of interviews, the colorful, often dramatic anecdotes and stories in this distinguished book comprise the most comprehensive history of Cuban baseball yet published and ultimately adds a vital lost chapter to the history of baseball in the U.S.
Abandoning the Socialist Dream
Authors: Jarausch Konrad H 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
With the New Year, the mood turned. The elation of the popular rising began to give way to frustration with the difficulties of a new start. During the wonderful fall of 1989, “the people, acting as one, had determined their own fate with imagination and resolve.” Led by a courageous opposition, they had overthrown post-Stalinism, restored human rights and created a Round Table. These breathtaking advances signalled “a new historical awakening.” Yet during the winter of 1990, the same masses realized “that practically nothing has changed after all, at least not for the better.”1 Political excitement only aggravated the tribulations of daily life. The continuing exodus created supply problems, rendering even basic foods scarce. Long lines in front of the few stores frayed salesclerks’ and customers’ nerves. Growing impatient, ordinary people wanted to see tangible improvements in their everyday existence. For the New Year, the government instead promised to continue political reforms: “The GDR needs revolutionary changes. It needs the rule of law. It needs reason and prudence. The liberties that have been won must be solidified.” But such appeals no longer moved citizens, confident of their own voice. How much longer would they wait for results?

Authors: Gottlieb Beatrice 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Gottlieb has done readers a great service by synthesizing, in this highly readable book, the growing scholarly literature on the history of the family. The book covers Europe and Colonial America from the onset of the Black Death to the beginning of the Industrial Age, shedding light on the similarities and differences between families of the past and those of today. Family history is still in its infancy, but scholars are coming to agree that the family is a cultural creation. Although we take its forms and practices for granted, nothing in nature makes them inevitable. In this fascinating and growing field, Gottlieb’s book will ba a landmark work of scholarly synthesis which communicates to the general reader.
The Joyless Economy
Authors: Scitovsky Tibor 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Originally published in 1976, this classic work helped to establish the legitimacy of understanding economic behaviour in psychological terms. Its central theme was that, despite the economic abundance that Americans enjoyed in the mid-twentieth century, they were at heart dissatisfied with much of their lives. Mainstream economics could not account for this kind of reaction and Scitovsky sought to explain it in theories that combined economics with psychology. Scitovsky has revised the last chapter and added a new chapter dealing with some contemporary aspects. In addition, Robert Frank, author of Choosing the Right Pond (OUP, 1985) has written a foreword.
Female Quixotism
Authors: Tenney Tabitha Gilman 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
First published in 1801, Female Quixotism is a boisterous anti-romance and literary satire, in which Dorcas Sheldon (`Dorcasina’) sets out to discover for herself the kind of passionate love affair portrayed in her favourite novels. Female Quixotism was written during a period of self-definition for the fledgeling American republic. Issues of class, gender, race and isolationism still relevant today are confronted in a manner unusual in other contemporary works, which frequently attacked romantic novels, even as they employed the sentimental and picaresque devices of the genre. Tenney uses literary references from Richardson, Sterne, and Milton, and, of course, Cervantes. However, it is as a tragi-comic parody of the limited choices available to women in a society founded on the principle that all men are created equal, that Tenney’s Female Quixotism really stands apart from similar contemporary works.
The Secularization of Early Modern England
Authors: Sommerville C John 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this provocative work, Sommerville examines the onset of secularization in sixteenth and seventeenth-century England, exploring how and why various aspects of life - art, language, work, play, technology, and power - became divorced from religious values. The work helps modern readers understand what life was like in an age in which religion suffused society and was as basic to thought as the structure of language. Sommerville argues that secularization began earlier in England than many historians believe - even before Henry VIII's seizure of power over the church in the 1530s - and that it advanced in concert with the Protestant Reformation. As more aspects of daily life were divorced from religious values and controls, religious culture was supplanted by religious faith, a reasoned (rather than an unquestioned) belief in the supernatural.
Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, and Radical Modernism
Authors: Sherry Vincent 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This book examines the relation between the aesthetic convictions and political opinions of the Anglo-American modernists, focusing on the collaboration of Ezra Pound and Wyndham Lewis. In the years before World War I, Pound and Lewis were the forces behind the Vorticist movement, and edited the avant-garde journal "Blast". Sherry's book asks: how do we account for their simultaneous development of highly experimental forms in verse, prose, and paint, and their parallel movements in later years toward the German and Italian parties of European fascism? Making use of research on European writers (e.g. Henri Bergson José Ortega y Gasset, and Georges Sorel) on Modernism, and proposes an understanding of ideology as a force in the literary imagination.
“Les mythes d’origine” in the History of Psychiatry
Authors: Vandermeersch Patrick 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Not every science finds its own history very interesting. The more exactly it defines itself, the more it experiences itself as being timeless, because the objectivity of the research results it obtains is not dependent upon historical factors. Being dependent on history: Is this not placing oneself in the hands of chance? Naturally it is nice when you can say something about the history of your own science. But “real” scientists usually busy themselves with their discipline’s history only after having reached the age of retirement. For the training of younger colleagues they find an understanding of the history of their own profession not so necessary. And when there are books published about their discipline’s history, they are usually deluxe editions that can be given as a gift, and in which the illustrations, the binding, and the quality of print are deemed more important than the soundness of the text.
Dialogues of the Word
Authors: Reed Walter L 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In Hearing Ourselves Think, cognitive process research moves from the laboratory to the college classroom, where its rich research tradition continues and an important new set of instructional approaches emerges. Each chapter moves from research results to classroom action, providing a direct and important link between research, theory, and practice. The book develops the concept of the research-based classroom in which students actively examine the processes and contexts of reading and writing and then turn their observations into principles for practice. Hearing Ourselves Think contributes to a lively new tradition of socio-cognitive research in writing and reading, exploring the dynamics of cognitive processes as they interact with dimensions of the academic context.
Infection in the Immunodeficient Patient
Authors: Aoun Michel , Klastersky Jean 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The basic mechanisms involved in the acute inflammatory response (Chapter 10) and specific immunity (Chapter 11) are summarized in Table 86.l. Patients may have either genetic deficiencies of these mechanisms (primary immunodeficiency), usually expressing the consequences early in life, or they may develop acquired disorders of inflammation or immunity (acquired immunodeficiency) as a consequence of specific diseases or immunosuppressive therapy.
Sources in International Treaties of an Obligation to Investigate, Prosecute, and Provide Redress
Authors: Roht-Arriaza Naomi 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Until recently, a state’s treatment of its own citizens was not considered a proper concern of international law. Only in the wake of widespread revulsion against the crimes committed immediately before and during World War II did nations finally begin to accept limits on their virtually absolute sovereignty regarding the human rights of those residing within their jurisdiction. Building on several strands in earlier law, the trial of the Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg established that certain grave human rights violations by a government against its citizens are a matter of international concern and action.
Nontreaty Sources of the Obligation to Investigate and Prosecute
Authors: Roht-Arriaza Naomi 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The express undertaking of states, as found in multilateral treaties, provides the clearest form of legal obligation. However, treaty obligations as such bind parties to the treaty only: Governments that systematically violate human rights may be particularly disinclined to adhere to human rights treaty regimes. In addition, treaty obligations apply only to conduct that occurs after the treaty has entered into force for the state in question. Treaty norms, therefore, must be supplemented by recourse to nontreaty sources of law. The two most important of these are customary international law and general principles of law.
Problems in Blaming and Punishing Individuals for Human Rights Violations: The Example of the Berlin Wall Shootings
Authors: Walther Susanne 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Postunification Germany appears to differ from other countries whose repressive governments were toppled by a revolution of the people. But just as do the citizens of other such countries, East Germans and unified German society must find the strength to start anew while facing the economic, social, and political ruins of the former state. A nation seeking to rectify past governmental wrong by applying the rule of law encounters particular tensions. The rule of law may rival the sense of justice: Protective procedural guarantees present obstacles to punishing persons responsible for human rights violations who went unprosecuted under the former government or state. Another impediment to the mastering of the past (Vergangen-heitsbewältigung) is that the law, particularly the criminal law, was designed with classical, not governmental, criminality in mind. Governmental criminality, with its links to the political and societal dogmas of an entire government and legal system and to the world political scene, may well be beyond the reach of the criminal law.
Haiti: Searching for Alternatives
Authors: Stotzky Irwin P 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The challenges posed by Haiti’s rocky transition from the Duvalier era to one of democracy have been as difficult as any in the world. As this book goes to press, international efforts to restore the democratically elected government have successfully reinstated President Aristide to office. It remains unclear, however, whether the international efforts will again founder on the intransigence of the most powerful forces in Haiti—the economic elite and the military and paramilitary forces. Even assuming that these corporative forces can be brought under democratic control, the difficulties of creating a viable economy, an institutional structure, and respect for the rule of law, which must undergird both, remain formidable. The question of whether to prosecute those who have committed serious human rights violations played a key role in the events leading up to the September 1991 coup. That question continued to be significant in negotiations for President Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s return and is now a key question in the consolidation of the democratic government. Indeed, dealing with the past will be crucial to opening up new possibilities for establishing the rule of law in both the institutions and the minds of the Haitian people.
Overview
Authors: Roht-Arriaza Naomi 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The late 1980s and early 1990s have seen a spate of African countries move from one-party or military rule to governments resulting from multiparty, contested elections. In some cases efforts to democratize have been thwarted by recalcitrant military establishments; in others ethnic or tribal tensions or economic problems have pushed newly elected governments toward repeating some of the human rights abuses of the past. The new governments have faced the issues of investigating and prosecuting the perpetrators of past human rights violations and of compensating their victims in situations of continuing political instability. The responses of the new regimes have varied; in many countries the new government has granted an amnesty covering all acts of the former ruler and/or his supporters. In Benin, for example, ex-President Mathieu Kerekou, whose government was accused of torture and the killing of prisoners, was nonetheless granted personal immunity.I In the Congo, the National Conference held in February 1991 declared a general amnesty for political crimes or human rights violations. On the other hand, other countries have taken steps to investigate, although only a few have prosecuted. Some of the more important experiences are summarized below. The cases of Zimbabwe and South Africa are considered in separate chapters. That of Rwanda is too recent to be dealt with adequately here, although international efforts to prosecute genocide are touched on in the concluding chapter.
Human Rights in Cambodia
Authors: Vickery Michael , Roht-Arriaza Naomi 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
From 1975 to 1979 Democratic Kampuchea (DK) was a regime that many people have called worse than Hitler’s and that has become a paradigm for oppression, arbitrary imprisonment, torture, and murder by a state of its own citizens. Earlier, between 1970 and 1975, under the U.S.-backed Khmer Republic, all guarantees of civil rights, fair trial, and freedom from arbitrary police harassment were de facto suspended; the justification, if there was any, was that a state of war prevailed in the country. Even during Cambodia’s best peace time years under Prince Sihanouk before 1970, the right to a quick, fair trial without risk of torture during preliminary police investigation was not guaranteed in practice; and political suspects could be judicially murdered in widely publicized executions.1
Beyond Charity
Authors: Loescher Gil 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
With more than 18 million refugees worldwide, the refugee problem tops the agenda in intergovernmental meetings and has fostered an intense debate regarding what political changes are necessary in the international system to provide effective solutions in the 1990s and beyond. In the past, refugees have been perceived largely as a problem of international charity, but as the end of the Cold War triggers new refugee movements across the globe, governments are being forced to develop a more systematic approach to the refugee problem. Beyond Charity provides the first extensive overview of the world refugee crisis today, asserting that refugees are a political issue and must be dealt with as such. Gil Loescher argues persuasively that a central challenge in the post Cold-War era is to develop a comprehensive refugee policy that preserves the right of asylum while promoting greater political and diplomatic efforts to address the causes of flight. He presents the contemporary crisis in a historical framework and explores the changing role of the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees. Loescher suggests short-term and long-term reforms that address both the current refugee crisis and its underlying causes. The book also details the ways governmental structures and international organizations could be strengthened to assume more effective assistance, protection, and political mediation functions. Beyond Charity clarifies the complex issues surrounding the global refugee crisis and offers directions for more effective approaches to refugee problems at present and in the future.
The Public Prints
Authors: Clark Charles E 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Public Prints is the first comprehensive study of the role of the earliest American newspapers in the society and culture of the eighteenth century. In the hands of Charles E. Clark, American newspaper publishing becomes a branch of the English world of print in a story that begins in the bustling streets of late seventeenth-century London and moves to the provincial towns of England and across the Atlantic. While Clark's most detailed attention in America is to the three multi-newspaper towns of Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, evidence from Williamsburg, Charleston, and Barbados also contributes to generalizations about the craft and business of eighteenth-century publishing. Stressing continuing trans-Atlantic connections as well as English origins, Clark argues that the newspapers were a force both for `anglicization' in their attempts to replicate English culture in America and for `Americanization' in creating a fuller awareness of the British-American experience across colonial boundaries. He suggests, finally, that the newspapers' greatest cultural role in provincial America was the creation of a community bound by the celebration of common values and attachments through the shared ritual of reading.
The Nazi Connection
Authors: Kühl Stefan 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this explosive new book, Stefan Kühl shows for the first time the full extent of eugenic/racist connections between Nazi Germany and the United States. Drawing on exhaustive original research, Kühl shows that German and American eugenic/racist theories were mutually influential, from Hitler acknowledging a debt to the US Immigration Restriction Act for his views on the exclusion of `undesirables' to the collaboration between scientists of both nations throughout the 1930s. He also reveals the links between Nazi and American views on racial purity. Exposing the key part Americans played in the furtherance of international racism, this compelling book draws the uncomfortable conclusion that while other nations may not have planned the mass killings ordered by the Nazis, the responsibility for them extends beyond Germany.
The Berlin Jewish Community
Authors: Lowenstein Steven M 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Berlin Jewish community was both the pioneer in intellectual modernization and the first to experience a crisis of modernity. This original and imaginative book connects intellectual and political transformation with the social structures and daily activities of the Jewish community. Steven M. Lowenstein has used extraordinarily rich documentation about the life of Berlin Jewry in the period and assembled a collective biography of the entire community of Berlin Jews. He has examined tax lists, subscription lists, genealogical records, and address lists as well as kosher meat accounts to give us a vivid picture of daily life. On another level in detailing the complexity of Jewish life in Berlin during this period, this book illuminates the connections between the "peaceful stage" of enlightenment and the crisis that followed.
