New Perspectives on the History of Gender and Empire
New Perspectives on the History of Gender and Empire, an open access book, extends our understanding of the gendered workings of empires, colonialism and imperialism, taking up recent impulses from gender history, new imperial history and global history. The authors apply new theoretical and methodological approaches to historical case studies around the globe in order to redefine the complex relationship between gender and empire. The chapters deal not only with 'typical' colonial empires like the British Empire, but also with those less well-studied, such as the German, Russian, Italian and U.S. empires. They focus on various imperial formations, from colonies in Africa or Asia to settler ...
Violence, Race, and the Law in German South West Africa, 1884-1914
The colonial administration's responses to settler violence against Africans cannot be seen simply as an effective means to realize colonialism's "rational" economic or political ends. Rather, in many respects, "native policy" contributed to social dysfunction. Therefore it is best seen as shaped by racial imperatives that governed the behavior of many settlers, who, especially after the uprisings, stood to the far right of colonial administrators. The treatment of the issues of "mixed marriages" and "half-breeds" (Mischlinge) provides a strong example of "native policy's" fundamental irrationality.

Navigating World History
World history has expanded dramatically in recent years, primarily as a teaching field, and increasingly as a research field. Growing numbers of teachers and Ph.Ds in history are required to teach the subject. They must be current on topics from human evolution to industrial development in Song-dynasty China to today's disease patterns - and then link these disparate topics into a coherent course. Numerous textbooks in print and in preparation summarize the field of world history at an introductory level. But good teaching also requires advanced training for teachers, and access to a stream of new research from scholars trained as world historians. In this book, Patrick Manning provides the first comprehensive overview of the academic field of world history. He reviews patterns of research and debate, and proposes guidelines for study by teachers and by researchers in world history.
