(P/B) A MOVEABLE EMPIRE
OTTOMAN NOMADS, MIGRANTS, AND REFUGEES
Εκδότης: UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0906-0050
Winner of the 2010 M. Fuat Koprulu Best Book Award . A Moveable Empire examines the history of the Ottoman Empire through a new lens, focusing on the migrant groups that lived within its bounds and their changing relationship to the state's central authorities. Unlike earlier studies that take an evolutionary view of tribe-state relations - casting the development of a state as a story in which nomadic tribes give way to settled populations - this book argues that mobile groups played an important role in shaping Ottoman institutions and, ...

Εκδότης: UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0906-0057
This reexamination of the controversial role Emperor Hirohito played during the Pacific War gives particular attention to the question: If the emperor could not stop Japan from going to war with the Allied Powers in 1941, why was he able to play a crucial role in ending the war in 1945?

(P/B) THE LANDSCAPE OF STALINISM
THE ART AND IDEOLOGY OF SOVIET SPACE
Εκδότης: UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0906-0054
This wide-ranging cultural history explores the expression of Bolshevik Party ideology through the lens of landscape, or, more broadly, space. Portrayed in visual images and words, the landscape played a vital role in expressing and promoting ideology in the former Soviet Union during the Stalin years, especially in the 1930s. At the time, the iconoclasm of the immediate postrevolutionary years had given way to nation building and a conscious attempt to create a new Soviet "culture." In painting, architecture, literature, cinema, and song,... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(P/B) BLACK TIGERS
A GRAMMAR OF CHINESE RUBBINGS
Εκδότης: UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0906-0053
Since at least the early sixth century C.E., ink rubbings of stone, metal, clay tiles, and wood inscriptions and pictorial images have been used in China to make precise copies of culturally valued material.

Chinese rubbing techniques are used throughout East Asia to create copies t... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(P/B) COMMUNIST MULTICULTURALISM
ETHNIC REVIVAL IN SOUTHWEST CHINA
Εκδότης: UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0906-0049

At the same time, it is vigilant in suppressing groups that threaten the nation's unity or its modernizing goals. In Communist Multiculturalism, Susan K. McCarthy examines three minority groups in the province of Yunnan, focusing on the ways in which they have adapted to the government's nationbuilding and minority nationalities policies since the 1980s. She reveals that Chinese government policy is shaped by perceptions of what constitutes ... Διαβάστε περισσότερα... |

(P/B) SERBIA SINCE 1989
POLITICS AND SOCIETY UNDER MILOSEVIC AND AFTER
Εκδότης: UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0906-0042
During their thirteen years in power, Slobodan Milosevic and his cohorts plunged Yugoslavia into wars of ethnic cleansing, leading to the murder of thousands of civilians. The Milosevic regime also subverted the nation's culture, twisted the political mainstream into a virulent nationalist mold, sapped the economy through war and the criminalization of a free market, returned to gender relations of a bygone era, and left the state so dysfunctional that its peripheries - Kosovo, Vojvodina, and Montenegro - have been struggling to maximize t...
