This book argues that without an understanding of the popular sources of the rebellion of that time, the age of the Naxalite revolt will remain beyond our understanding. It brings out for the first time unknown peasant heroes and heroines of that era, analyses the nature of the urban revolt, and shows how the urban revolt of that time anticipate

This book focuses on several specific features characterizing China's economy in the Mao era (1952-1976), and discusses whether and how they are related to the new economic strategy called "reforms and opening-up" under Deng Xiaoping's leadership with the result of the aftermath of well-known rapid growth. It provides the reader with basic knowledge of the continuity and discontinuity between the Mao and Deng eras. Readers are provided with some important clues for thinking about how Maoist China could have contributed to or alternatively prevented today's economic development. The topics addressed here include a brief overview of economic development under Mao, significant differences between Mao and Deng economics, and socialist transformations during the early Mao era. These include collectivization as well as communization and the effects on agricultural productivity; water supply construction drives utilizing a vast amount of rural surplus labor; rural finance; the effects on national savings, and the development of heavy and light industry. Also considered are the effects on the socialist industrialization, rural small-scale industries during the Cultural Revolution and their aftermath, and the realities of social life in a Third-front construction site promoted by Mao's military strategy in the 1960s. This book is highly recommended to readers who are interested in contemporary China's economy, particularly to scholars and students. The volume gives new insight into the background or preconditions that made possible historically rare miracles of the Chinese economy after Mao

Ein Blick auf deren koloniale Vorgeschichte gibt neue Antworten auf das rätselhafte Motiv britischer Flächenbombardierungen deutscher Städte 1945. In den letzten Monaten des Zweiten Weltkrieges entwarfen die Spitzen der britischen Luftwaffe mit Unterstützung Winston Churchills einen lange rätselhaft gebliebenen Operationsplan. Im Zuge der "Operation Thunderclap" flogen britische Bomberformationen konzentrierte Attacken gegen noch unzerstörte Innenstädte und Wohngebiete. Städte wie Dresden, Pforzheim oder Würzburg fielen in Schutt und Asche, Zehntausende fanden den Tod. Weshalb wurden die Flächenbombardements bis zuletzt dramatisch gesteigert? Lukas Willmy gibt neue, archivalisch abgesicherte Antworten auf dieses lange ungelöste Rätsel des Zweiten Weltkrieges. Angelehnt an die Erfahrungen der britischen Royal Air Force als fliegende "Imperialgendarmerie" in den Kolonien rekonstruiert er die Logik kolonialer "Strafbombardierungen", die bereits im britischen Weltreich durchgeführt wurden und die für den britischen Bombenkrieg gegen Deutschland als Vorbild dienten. Den Deutschen sollte eine einschüchternde Lektion erteilt werden: Spektakuläre Brandangriffe sollten für Masseneinschüchterung sorgen und so einer abermaligen Aggression Deutschlands vorbeugen. Damit ordnet er dieses Geschehen der letzten Kriegsmonate militärhistorisch in einen neuen Kontext ein. (Verlagstext)

Now that's what I call a history of the 1980s is a political and cultural History of Britain in the long 1980s in ten objects or moments. Neither a top down history, nor nostalgic celebration, it reframes the decade around local, national, and global politics of gender, race, age and sexuality

Which everyday practices allowed women to sustain and fulfill individuality and agency under dictatorial rule? This book adds to a rich scholarship on the history of late Francoism and the transition to democracy in Modern Spain through the lens of oral history and life writing. Aurora Morcillo tells the stories of anonymous individuals from both student and working class backgrounds - crucial sites of active resistance against the dictatorship at the time - and provides an interdisciplinary feminist analysis of the inevitable modernization of Spain in the 1960s and 1970s. This study uncovers a Deleuzian rendition of historical unfolding/becoming rather than simply being a collection of oral histories: a historical narration which proposes to be a creative historical ontology.

This text is about a region on the fringes of empire, which neither tsarist Russia, nor the Soviet Union, nor in fact the Russian Federation, ever really managed to control. Starting with the nineteenth century, it analyzes the state's various strategies to establish its rule over populations highly resilient to change imposed from outside, who frequently resorted to arms to resist interference in their religious practices and beliefs, traditional customs, and ways of life

Gleichgültig war Amerika den Deutschen nie. Die USA galten als Inbegriff des "wohlwollenden Hegemons" und waren Aufhänger von zahlreichen Feindbildern. Sie wurden als kulturelle Fremdlinge bewundert oder verdammt. Aber leidenschaftslos oder statisch waren die deutschen Perspektiven kaum.Historiker, Politikwissenschaftler, Amerikanisten, Sozial- und Literaturwissenschaftler zeigen in diesem Band, dass die USA oft zugleich Freund, Feind und fremd waren. Austausch, Anpassung und Ablehnung existierten in Deutschland nicht selten nebeneinander. Die versammelten Blicke auf die USA reichen von romantischen Amerikabildern der Nachkriegszeit über Amerikanisierung und Antiamerikanismus der 1970er- und 1980er-Jahre bis hin zu den Anschlägen vom 11. September 2001 und die jüngste Vergangenheit.Mit Beiträge von Alex Alvarez, Volker Benkert, Franz Eder, Moritz Fink, Axel Fischer, Christer S. Garrett , Katharina Gerund, Konrad H.
