Music of the Twentieth Century: A Study of Its Elements and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: de Leeuw, Ton / De Groot, Rokus, PUBLISHER: Amsterdam University Press, Ton de Leeuw was a truly groundbreaking composer. As evidenced by his pioneering study of compositional methods that melded Eastern traditional music with Western musical theory, he had a profound understanding of the complex and often divisive history of twentieth-century music. Now his renowned chronicle "Music of the Twentieth Century" is offered here in a newly revised English-language edition. "Music of the Twentieth Century" goes beyond a historical survey with its lucid and impassioned discussion of the elements, structures, compositional principles, and terminologies of twentieth-century music. De Leeuw draws on his experience as a composer, teacher, and music scholar of non-European music traditions, including Indian, Indonesian, and Japanese music, to examine how musical innovations that developed during the twentieth century transformed musical theory, composition, and scholarly thought around the globe.

The Unwanted: European Refugees in the Twentieth Century

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Marrus, Michael R., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Vast refugee movements signify hundreds of thousands of people homeless and in despair. For most of our own century, Europe saw the greatest tide of uprooted humanity, with millions of people torn loose from their homes and forced to flee abroad. The Unwanted presents the first comprehensive picture of the astounding dimension of the refugee problem in twentieth century Europe. While a considerable portion of the book is devoted to the dislocation of the Nazi era, the volume covers everything from the late nineteenth century to the present, encompassing the Armenian refugees, the Spanish Civil War emigres, the Cold War refugees in flight from Soviet states and much more. Marrus argues that these huge refugee inundations represented a terrible new page in human history, presaging what we see today in parts of the Third World.

The Short Story: The Reality of Artifice

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: May, Charles E., PUBLISHER: Routledge, The short story is one of the most difficult types of prose to write and one of the most pleasurable to read. From Boccaccio's Decameron to The Collected Stories of Reynolds Price, Charles May gives us an understanding of the history and structure of this demanding form of fiction. Beginning with a general history of the genre, he moves on to focus on the nineteenth-century when the modern short story began to come into focus. From there he moves on to later nineteenth-century realism and early twentieth-century formalism and finally to the modern renaissance of the form that shows no signs of abating. A chronology of significant events, works and figures from the genre's history, notes and references and an extensive bibliographic essay with recommended reading round out the volume.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smith, Woodruff D., PUBLISHER: Wadsworth Publishing Company, This book presents an overview of Europe's imperialist career from the end of the Napoleonic wars in to the present; in other words, from the establishment of Britain's ascendency as the major power in the world and the head of Europe's largest empire to the era of decolonization and the eclipse of Western Europe in world affairs.

Tibet: A History

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Van Schaik, Sam, PUBLISHER: Yale University Press, Situated north of the Himalayas, Tibet is famous for its unique culture and its controversial assimilation into modern China. Yet Tibet in the twenty-first century can only be properly understood in the context of its extraordinary history. Sam van Schaik brings the history of Tibet to life by telling the stories of the people involved, from the glory days of the Tibetan empire in the seventh century through to the present day. He explores the emergence of Tibetan Buddhism and the rise of the Dalai Lamas, Tibet's entanglement in the "Great Game" in the early twentieth century, its submission to Chinese Communist rule in the s, and the troubled times of recent decades. "Tibet" sheds light on the country's complex relationship with China and explains often-misunderstood aspects of its culture, such as reborn lamas, monasteries and hermits, "The Tibetan Book of the Dead," and the role of the Dalai Lama. Van Schaik works through the layers of history and myth to create a compelling narrative, one that offers readers a greater understanding of this important and controversial corner of the world.

The Gender of History: Men, Women, and Historical Practice

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smith, Bonnie G., PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, In this pathbreaking study of the gendering of the practices of history, Bonnie Smith resurrects the amateur history written by women in the nineteenth century--a type of history condemned as trivial by "scientific" male historians. She demonstrates the degree to which the profession defined itself in opposition to amateurism, femininity, and alternative ways of writing history. The male historians of the archive and the seminar claimed to be searching for "genderless universal truth," which in reality prioritized men's history over women's, white history over nonwhite, and the political history of Western governments over any other. Meanwhile, women amateurs wrote vivid histories of queens and accomplished women, of manners and mores, and of everyday life. Following the profession up to , "The Gender of History" traces the emergence of a renewed interest in social and cultural history which had been demeaned in the nineteenth century, when professional historians viewed themselves as supermen who could see through the surface of events to invisible meanings and motives. But Smith doesn't let late twentieth-century historians off the hook. She demonstrates how, even today, the practice of history is propelled by fantasies of power in which researchers imagine themselves as heroic rescuers of the inarticulate lower classes. The professionals' legacy is still with us, as Smith's extraordinary work proves. Acquista Ora
