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

A Few Acres of Snow: Documents in Pre-Confederation Canadian

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Thorner, Thomas, PUBLISHER: Utp Higher Education, For a generation or more there have been few books that brought together in accessible form the raw materials of Canadian history. In many minds the impression has taken root that those materials are uninteresting. This collection demonstrates the contrary and that these raw materials provide extraordinarily engaging and informative insights into the richness of Canadian history. This new edition of the first volume of Broadview's two-volume anthology of documents in Canadian history, A Few Acres of Snow, presents many new documentary sources on pre-Confederation Canadian history, combined with the most compelling passages from the first edition. Each chapter offers a group of source materials on particular themes or events, beginning with reports of First Nation contacts published in the Jesuit Relations and ending with the drive to Confederation. Documents bring vividly before the reader the experience of the Acadian Expulsion, the Siege of Quebec, Irish immigration during the famine years, life in the Ontario backwoods in the early nineteenth century, and the British Columbia gold rush. Included are document groupings that focus on the history of Canada's various regions; on social, cultural, political and intellectual history; on the experiences of women, of Native peoples, of immigrants and labour. Thomas Thorner is a member of the Department of History at Kwantlen University College: this is his fourth book. Thor Frohn-Nielsen, who assisted on this project, also works in the History Department at Kwantlen.

By applying critical social theory, cultural studies, and media criticism to buttress his arguments, Kellner concludes that Election reveals a crisis in contemporary American democracy. A final chapter critically dissects the first 100 days of the Bush presidency, which is emerging as one of the most reactionary in history.

Women in Medieval Times

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: MacDonald, Fiona, PUBLISHER: Peter Bedrick Books, "The Other Half of History" explores an aspect of history that is often overlooked - the history of women. This fascinating book looks at the lives of women in medieval Europe. In the eyes of the law, women were children, to be guarded and controlled. Motherhood was their main purpose in life. The Church also taught that women were dangerous and sinful. On the other hand, wives helped their husbands in the fields and in workshops, and many nuns and abbesses were respected for their wisdom and learning. Although women rarely gained power without the support of men, a few noblewomen used their position to play a part in the political struggles and battles of medieval Europe.

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 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.
