Sinopsis

In "Salem Witchcraft, Volumes I and II," Charles Wentworth Upham meticulously chronicles the infamous Salem witch trials of 1692, offering a detailed examination of the socio-political and religious factors that fueled this historical calamity. Upham employs a scholarly prose that combines narrative storytelling with rigorous historiographical analysis, revealing the complexities and tragedies intertwined with the witchcraft accusations. His work remains a pivotal study in American history, reflecting the pervasive fears and superstitions that can lead societies to moral panic and injustice, thus encapsulating the broader Puritanical context of early New England society. Charles Wentworth Upham was a prominent historian, politician, and clergyman, with deep roots in New England culture. His passion for understanding the interplay of religion, law, and social dynamics in colonial America can be traced to both his educational background and his personal ties to the region. Upham's dedication to uncovering the truth behind historical events was reflected in his extensive research, and he sought to provide a detailed account that would serve as both a warning and a source of understanding for future generations. Upham's "Salem Witchcraft" is highly recommended for scholars, students, and anyone captivated by the intricacies of human behavior during crises. This monumental work not only sheds light on a dark chapter of American history but also serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of hysteria and the fragility of justice in society.

    History's Babel - Scholarship...

    From the late nineteenth century until World War II, competing spheres of professional identity and practice redrew the field of history, establishing fundamental differences between the roles of university historians, archivists, staff at historical societies, history teachers, and others. In History’s Babel, Robert B. Townsend takes us from the beginning of this professional shift—when the work of history included not just original research, but also teaching and the gathering of historical materials—to a state of microprofessionalization that continues to define the field today. Drawing on extensive research among the records of the American Historical Association and a multitude of other sources, Townsend traces the slow fragmentation of the field from 1880 to the divisions of the 1940s manifest today in the diverse professions of academia, teaching, and public history. By revealing how the founders of the contemporary historical enterprise envisioned the future of the discipline, he offers insight into our own historical moment and the way the discipline has adapted and changed over time. Townsend’s work will be of interest not only to historians but to all who care about how the professions of history emerged, how they might go forward, and the public role they still can play.

    Meet the hostesses who have shaped cocktail history, and learn how to make the drinks they loved. 
     
     
     
    Throughout American history, women have helped propel what we know as classic cocktails—the Martini, the Manhattan, the Old-Fashioned, and more—into popular culture. But, often excluded from private clubs, women exercised this influence from the home, in their cocktail parlors. In The Cocktail Parlor, Dr. Nicola Nice, sociologist and spirits entrepreneur, gives women their long-overdue spotlight in cocktail history and shows how they still impact cocktail culture today. 
     
     
     
    Journeying through the decades, this book profiles a diverse array of influential hostesses. With each historic era comes iconic recipes, featuring a total of forty main cocktails and more than 100 variations that listeners can make at home. Whether its happy hour punch a la Martha Washington or a Harlem Renaissance-inspired Green Skirt, listeners will find that many of the ingredients and drinks they're familiar with today wouldn't be here without the hostesses who served them first.

    Why did independent Singapore celebrate two hundred years of its founding as a British colony in 2019? What does Merdeka mean for Singaporeans? And what are the possibilities of doing decolonial history in Singapore? Raffles Renounced: Towards a Merdeka History presents essays by historians, literary scholars and artists which grapple with these questions. The volume also reproduces some of the source material used in the play Merdeka / 獨立 / சுதந்திரம் (Wild Rice, 2019). Taken together, the book shows how the contradictions of independent nationhood haunt Singaporeans' collective and personal stories about Merdeka. It points to the need for a Merdeka history: an open and fearless culture of historical reckoning that not only untangles us from colonial narratives, but proposes emancipatory possibilities.
