"The Romantic myth of Bohemia originates in the early nineteenth century as a way of describing the new economic and cultural conditions artists and writers faced as the system of aristocratic patronage collapsed in the wake of republican revolution. This book analyses the bohemian myth likening the artist's vagabond career to the "gypsy" life by discussing its various fictional manifestations; its historical presence in different bohemian communities; its political implications as a counter to the ascendancy of a bourgeois, commercial class; and its role in the development of both modern art and popular culture. It concludes by discussing the legacy of the bohemian myth today, arguing that the political and cultural conditions that originated that myth no longer obtain, rendering the idea of "contemporary Bohemia" problematic"--

Asian Smallholders in Comparative Perspective provides the first multicountry, inter-disciplinary analysis of the single most important social and economic formation in the Asian countryside: the smallholder. Based on ten core country chapters, the volume describes and explains the persistence, transformations, functioning and future of the smallholder and smallholdings across East and Southeast Asia. As well as providing a source book for scholars working on agrarian change in the region, it also engages with a number of key current areas of debate, including: the nature and direction of the agrarian transition in Asia, and its distinctiveness vis à vis transitions in the global North; the persistence of the smallholder notwithstanding deep and rapid structural change; and the question of the efficiency and productivity of smallholder-based farming set against concerns over global and national food security.

Метою цієї статті є дослідження розвитку козакознавчих студій у Миколаєві та Херсоні наприкінці ХІХ – на початку ХХ ст. Дослідження козацької історії у загалом провінційних за своїм економічним та культурним потенціалом, порівняно з Одесою, Миколаєві та Херсоні були одним з основних (поряд з антикознавством (Ольвія, скіфські кургани), дослідження історії цих міст з кінця ХVIII – у ХІХ ст.) струменем місцевої історіографії, що дозволяв їй привертати увагу представників інших центрів, бути активними учасниками історіографічного процесу на півдні України, а іноді і ширше. Важливим чинником розвитку козакознавства був інтерес до цієї теми з боку аматорів історії, що, розуміючи історичне значення документальних та археологічних артефактів допомагали історикам опрацьовувати та зберігати ці джерела. ; Целью этой статьи является исследование развития козакознавчих исследований в Николаеве и Херсоне в конце XIX – начале ХХ в. Исследование казацкой истории в целом провинциальных по своему экономическому и культурным потенциалом по сравнению с Одессой, Николаеве и Херсоне были одним из основных (наряду с антиковедении (Ольвия, скифские курганы), исследование истории этих городов с конца XVIII – XIX в. – основа местной историографии, позволяла ей привлекать внимание представителей других центров, быть активными участниками историографического процесса на юге Украины, а иногда и шире. Важным фактором развития казаковедения был интерес к этой теме со стороны любителей истории, которые, понимая историческое значение документальных и археологических артефактов помогали историкам обрабатывать и хранить эти источники. ; The main center of historical research in the territory of Southern Ukraine in the XIX and XX centuries. Odesa was the largest socio-economic and cultural center in the region. Therefore, most historiographers mainly studied how the historiography developed at the Novorossiysky University, leading Odesa societies. But important historiographic phenomena were also in other southern Ukrainian centers. The development of historiography in the territory between the Bug and the Dnieper, the main cities of these lands, Kherson and Mykolayiv should be studied better. Although these territories are known to have been one of the historical centers for the development of the Ukrainian Cossacks, in particular Kamyanska and Oleshkivska Sich, and the Bug Cossack Army.The purpose of this article is to study the history of the Cossacks in these centers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, to trace their connections, and to accept their views. The relevance of this approach is evidenced by the availability of articles on the study of the Cossacks in certain regional branches of historical science. Some aspects have already attracted the attention of researchers whose works are taken into account as a historiographic basis of this article. The source-documentary base of our article is, first of all, the works of Mykolayiv and Kherson cossacks, newspaper publications, memoirs.The first history of the Cossacks in Mykolayiv was studied by M. Kiryakov, in Kherson - O. Rusov. Both paid attention to the fact that the Cossacks carried out military and maritime campaigns, and the Kherson author made an important accent on the fact that historians should pay much attention to the Turkish and Tatar historical sources. In the 1890s in Mykolayiv studied the history of the Ukrainian Cossacks, a student of V. B. Antonovich P. A. Ivanov In the magazine «Kievskaya starina» in 1891 year. P. A. Ivanov published documents from the archives of the Nicholas Military Governor's Office on the resettlement of Cossacks to Taman.A great contribution to the collection and research of the Cossack heritage was made by the employees of the Natural History-Historical (Historical-Archaeological) Museum S.I. Gaiduchenko F. T. Kaminsky In the work "History of Ukraine-Rus", the head of the Ukrainian society "Prosvita" Mykolayiv M. M. Arkas paid much attention to the history of the Ukrainian Cossacks. He accepted the populist version that the Cossacks emerged from the fugitives who escaped the Polish order, in the hope of starting a new life, free and equal. He described the Ukrainian people who went to the Cossacks as vicarious people, conquerors who attacked and robbed Tatars, Turks, Muscovites, Poles, Lithuanians and their own, Ukrainian, Masters. The device of Zaporozhian Sich reminded the author of West European knight orders. M. M. Arkas believed the uprising of 1648 was popular. Separate section M. M. Arkas devoted to the last years of Sich's existence and its liquidation. The description of the liquidation of the Sich draws attention to the sharp opposition between Russians and Zaporozhians. The historian paid much attention to the fate of the Cossacks after the liquidation, until the Crimean War. Many images of the Cossacks were in the illustrations to the book. Reviewers of the book М. М. Arkas basically believed that he well described the history of the Cossacks.Chief historian in Kherson in the late ХІХ nineteenth and early ХХ centuries. was a student of V. B. Antonovych Viktor Ivanovych Goshkevych, founder and director of the Kherson Museum. In 1903 year the researcher published a book on treasures and the search for treasures in the Kherson region. In the book, in an interesting way, he combined stories about the findings of Cossack subjects and legends about the Cossack treasures. In the department of history of the Cossacks V.I. Goshkevych conducted excursions in the Ukrainian language. The museum was constantly replenished with items from the history of the Cossacks. V. I. Goshkevych conducted excavations on the territories of Kamenska, Oleshkivska and Chortomlytskaya Sich.It is concluded that the research of Cossack history in Mykolayiv and Kherson was one of the main directions of local historiography. This allowed local historians to draw attention to their research by representatives of other centers, to be active participants in the historiographical process in the south of Ukraine, and sometimes also outside its borders. An important factor in the development of Cossack was the interest in this topic from the side of the lovers of history. They understood the historical significance of documentary and archaeological artifacts that helped historians, first of all, V. I. Goshkevych, to process and store these sources.

Contested Terrain provides a cutting-edge, comprehensive and innovative approach to critically analysing the multidimensional and contested nature of security narratives, justified by different ideological, political, cultural and economic rationales. This is important in a complex and ever-changing situation involving a dynamic interplay between local, regional and global factors. Security narratives are constructed in multiple ways and are used to frame our responses to the challenges and threats to our sense of safety, wellbeing, identity and survival but how the narratives are constructed is a matter of intellectual and political contestation. Using three case studies from the Pacific (Fiji, Tonga and Solomon Islands), Contested Terrain shows the different security challenges facing each country, which result from their unique historical, political and socio-cultural circumstances. Contrary to the view that the Pacific is a generic entity with common security issues, this book argues for more localised and nuanced approaches to security framing and analysis.

If "all politics is local," then no tax issue is more political than the property tax. This explains the battles that are being fought countrywide over the exemption enjoyed by nonprofit organizations. Property taxes fall on local populations, while the benefits of a charity's activities can be spread more broadly. And as property-owning charities such as hospitals, universities, and cultural institutions have transformed themselves into big businesses, the exemption has come to be viewed as a subsidy granted by government. Recently, opposition from revenue-starved local governments has mounted, in the form of frontal attacks on the charity exemption and demands for payments in lieu of taxes. This collection of essays seeks to put the debate in larger context. The editors have brought together authors from a range of disciplines to explore what we know about the property tax exemption. They offer a variety of perspectives--legal, economic, political, historical, and municipal-administration--on this very contentious issue.

Tunisia was the last surviving democracy to emerge from the Arab Spring, and had recently enacted legislation to combat racial discrimination. But President Kais Saied, since coming to power in a 2019 election, has returned the country to authoritarian rule. He has also rolled back progress on race relations, scapegoating sub-Saharan African migrants for Tunisia's economic troubles. The failure of previous governments to root out corruption and consolidate the democratic transition with a new socioeconomic pact opened the way for a return to dictatorship.

Essays challenging conventional understandings of the slave economy of the nineteenth century. The essays presented in New Frontiers of Slavery represent new analytical and interpretive approaches to the crisis of Atlantic slavery during the nineteenth century. By treating slavery within the framework of the modern world economy, they call attention to new zones of slave production that were formed as part of processes of global economic and political restructuring. Chapters by a group of international historians, economists, and sociologists examine both the global dynamics of the new slavery, and various aspects of economy-society and master-slave relations in the new zones. They emphasize the ways in which certain slave regimes, particularly in Cuba and Brazil, were formed as specific local responses to global processes, industrialization, urbanization, market integration, the formation of national states, and the emergence of liberal ideologies and institutions. These essays thus challenge conventional understandings of slavery, which often regard it as incompatible with modernity. Dale W. Tomich is Deputy Director of the Fernand Braudel Center for the Study of Economies, Historical Systems, and Civilizations, and Professor of Sociology and History at Binghamton University, State University of New York. He is the author of Through the Prism of Slavery: Labor, Capital, and World Economy .

Muslim enclaves within non-Islamic polities are commonly believed to have been beleaguered communities undergoing relentless cultural and religious decline. Cut off from the Islamic world, these Muslim groups, it is assumed, passively yielded to political, social, and economic forces of assimilation and acculturation before finally accepting Christian dogma. Kathryn A. Miller radically reconceptualizes what she calls the exclave experience of medieval Muslim minorities. By focusing on the legal scholars (faqihs) of fifteenth-century Aragonese Muslim communities and translating little-known an

Point of Sale offers the first significant attempt to center media retail as a vital component in the study of popular culture. It brings together fifteen essays by top media scholars with their fingers on the pulse of both the changes that foreground retail in a digital age and the history that has made retail a fundamental part of the culture industries. The book reveals why retail matters as a site of transactional significance to industries as well as a crucial locus of meaning and interactional participation for consumers. In addition to examining how industries connect books, DVDs, video games, lifestyle products, toys, and more to consumers, it also interrogates the changes in media circulation driven by the collision of digital platforms with existing retail institutions. By grappling with the contexts in which we buy media, Point of Sale uncovers the underlying tensions that define the contemporary culture industries

Whilst Soviet communism and its relationship with modernity has been widely studied to date, the agrarian experiment in Eastern Europe has been relegated to the margins of historical analysis. In this comparative study, Alex Toshkov uncovers the history of agrarianism after the First World War and explores its place as an alternative modernity to liberal democracy and capitalism. Drawing on a wealth of archival material, this book explores the transnational connections between the paradigmatic cases of Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, as well as the International Agrarian Bureau in Prague, teasing out contradictions, hidden records and silenced interpretations of agrarianism. In addition, it uses a microhistorical approach to present an innovative theoretical framework which adds to our understanding of nationalism, political corruption, and alterity and the subaltern. This fascinating study restores interwar agrarianism to its rightful place as one of the most original and significant political currents in 20th-century Europe

Civilized Women is concerned with the intersection of cultural constructions of gender and other systems of ranking among the Glebo people of Cape Palmas, in southeastern Liberia. Like other Liberians, the Glebo people make a social distinction between western-educated wage-earners, or "civilized people," and traditional subsistence agriculturists, or "natives." The civilized-native dichotomy splits the Glebo community and Liberian society in general, in contrast to other West African nations, where ethnicity or regionalism provides important markers of personal identity.Through a close analysis of the local history of male labor migration, contact with African-American settlers, and the influence of Protestant Episcopal missionaries, Mary H. Moran shows how the Glebo have incorporated the civilized/native dichotomy into other systems of prestige allocation based on gender and age, capturing the poignant nature of "civilized" and traditional roles for women

The growing role of education in the modern world is explained by global trends in economic and social development, which the state should take into account when forming its educational policy, especially in the context of creating a common European educational space. Therefore, a comparative analysis of educational policy in Russia and in Western European countries is very relevant, given the processes of formation and development of educational policy in the Western European tradition, as well as the peculiarities of Russian educational policy at the present stage.
