George Rawlinson

Sinopsis

In "The Kings of Israel and Judah," George Rawlinson meticulously charts the history of the ancient Israelite monarchs, intertwining political, social, and religious elements to illuminate the complexities of their reigns. Employing a narrative style that combines rigorous scholarship with accessible prose, Rawlinson draws from biblical texts, archaeological findings, and historical sources, placing these rulers within the broader context of Near Eastern history. His examination extends beyond mere chronology, delving into the cultural and theological implications of each king's rule, thereby offering readers a comprehensive understanding of the period's dynamics. George Rawlinson, a prominent 19th-century historian and a key figure in the study of ancient civilizations, was well-equipped to undertake this ambitious project. His background in classical scholarship, combined with his fascination for biblical history, propelled him to explore the intricacies of Israelite and Judean history, reflecting the Victorian era'Äôs burgeoning interest in biblical archaeology and history. His scholarly credentials are complemented by a contextual appreciation of how religion shaped governance in ancient Israel. Ideal for both historians and general readers, "The Kings of Israel and Judah" provides a captivating lens through which to understand a pivotal era in biblical history. Rawlinson's ability to synthesize narrative and analysis makes this work not just informative but essential for anyone interested in the historical foundations of Western civilization.

Natives against Nativism -...

Olivia C. Harrison

For the past fifty years, the Palestinian question has served as a rallying cry in the struggle for migrant rights in postcolonial France, from the immigrant labor associations of the 1970s and Beur movements of the 1980s to the militant decolonial groups of the 2000s. In Natives against Nativism, Olivia C. Harrison explores the intersection of anticolonial solidarity and antiracist activism from the 1970s to the present. 
 
 
 
Natives against Nativism analyzes a wide range of texts—novels, memoirs, plays, films, and militant archives—that mobilize the twin figures of the Palestinian and the American Indian in a crossed critique of Eurocolonial modernity. Harrison argues that anticolonial solidarity with Palestinians and Indigenous Americans has been instrumental in developing a sophisticated critique of racism across imperial formations—in this case, France, the United States, and Israel. 
 
 
 
Serving as the first relational study of antiracism in France, Natives against Nativism observes how claims to indigeneity have been deployed in multiple directions, both in the ongoing struggle for migrant rights and racial justice, and in white nativist claims in France today.

A Russian on Commando - The Boer...

Boris Gorelik

In January 1900, galvanised by the daring of the Boers in taking on imperial Britain, the young Russian officer Yevgeny Avgustus set off for the Transvaal to fight in the Anglo-Boer War. Like most of the foreign volunteers who flocked to the Boer cause, he ended up on the Natal front.
Avgustus and his companions joined the Krugersdorp Commando, and their experiences in the field are portrayed in vivid detail. The central part of this gripping account covers the Battle of the Tugela Heights in February 1900 and the Boers' subsequent
retreat. The immediacy of Avgustus's writing captures his trepidation and excitement as he approaches the battlefield for the first time, as well as his experience of life on commando.
The keen eye of this foreign volunteer brings to life a turning point in South African history. Avgustus is a gifted writer, and his narrative offers both acute observation and thoughtful
introspection.
A gripping portrayal of human frailty and courage in the face of mortal danger, A Russian on Commando highlights both the strange attraction and the absurdities of war.

The Wari Empire - Pre-Incan...

Rolf Hedger

The Wari Empire emerged as one of the most influential pre-Incan civilizations in the Andean region, setting the foundation for future Andean states, including the Inca. Its origins can be traced back to the highlands of present-day Peru, where early societies laid the groundwork for its rise. The unique combination of environmental adaptation, cultural influences, and political innovation allowed the Wari to establish a powerful state that would dominate much of the central Andes for centuries.
Before the Wari civilization took shape, the Andean region was home to various cultures that contributed to its development. Among these, the Chavín culture, which thrived from around 900 to 200 BCE, played a crucial role in spreading religious and artistic traditions that later influenced Wari art and iconography. The Nazca civilization, known for its intricate geoglyphs and advanced irrigation techniques, also left an imprint on Wari agricultural and engineering practices. However, it was the lesser-known Huarpa culture of the Ayacucho Valley that provided the most direct influence on early Wari society. The Huarpa people developed small-scale irrigation systems, terraced farming, and distinct ceramic styles, all of which became defining features of Wari civilization.
Sometime between 500 and 600 CE, the Wari began to expand beyond their heartland in the Ayacucho region. This expansion was driven by both environmental necessity and strategic ambition. The high-altitude valleys of the central Andes provided fertile land for agriculture, but they were also subject to fluctuating climatic conditions. To mitigate these challenges, Wari elites developed large-scale irrigation systems and storage facilities, ensuring food security for growing populations. This ability to manage resources effectively gave them an advantage over neighboring groups, allowing them to assert dominance through both diplomacy and military conquest.
