    I've Been Here All the While -...

    Perhaps no other symbol has more resonance in African American history than that of "forty acres and a mule"—the lost promise of Black reparations for slavery after the Civil War. In I've Been Here All the While, we meet the Black people who actually received this mythic forty acres, the American settlers who coveted this land, and the Native Americans whose holdings it originated from. 
     
     
     
    In nineteenth-century Indian Territory (modern-day Oklahoma), a story unfolds that ties African American and Native American history tightly together, revealing a western theatre of Civil War and Reconstruction, in which Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole Indians, their Black slaves, and African Americans and whites from the eastern United States fought military and rhetorical battles to lay claim to land that had been taken from others. 
     
     
     
    Through chapters that chart cycles of dispossession, land seizure, and settlement in Indian Territory, Alaina E. Roberts draws on archival research and family history to upend the traditional story of Reconstruction. She connects debates about Black freedom and Native American citizenship to westward expansion onto Native land.

    In 1991, Ioan Culianu was on the precipice of a brilliant academic career. Culianu had fled his native Romania and established himself as a widely admired scholar at just forty-one years old. He was teaching at the University of Chicago Divinity School where he was seen as the heir apparent to his mentor, Mircea Eliade, a fellow Romanian expatriate and the founding father of the field of religious studies, who had died a few years earlier. When Culianu began to receive threatening messages, he asked a colleague to hold onto some papers for safekeeping. A week later someone fired a bullet into the back of his head, killing him instantly. The case was never solved, though the prevailing theory is that Culianu was targeted by the Romanian secret police as a result of critical articles he wrote after the fall of Nicolae Ceausescu. 
     
     
     
    What was in those papers and what connection might they have to Culianu's death? The papers eventually passed into the hands of Bruce Lincoln, and their story is at the heart of this book. The documents were English translations of articles that Eliade wrote in the 1930s, some of which voiced Eliade's support for the Iron Guard. Bruce Lincoln explores what the articles reveal about Eliade's past, his subsequent efforts to conceal that past, his complex relations with Culianu, and the possible motives for Culianu's shocking murder.

    Navalny. Lenin. Pugachev. The Russian rebel—in his epic battle against the Leviathan of the Russian state—has enthralled readers and writers for decades. The rebel's story is almost always a sad one that ends in exile, imprisonment, or martyrdom, leaving but a seed for the future reform of the Leviathan which he or she had taken on.Why do revolts—from the Decembrist uprising to the Snow Revolution that brought Alexei Navalny to the forefront of contemporary Russian politics—seem to end up failing or producing an even worse form of despotism? In reality, the brave words and deeds of dissidents have shaped the course of Russian history more often than we might think. Through the stories of prominent rebels from the time of Ivan the Terrible to the present day, as well as her own experiences reporting on her country's decent into authoritarianism, Russian-American journalist Anna Arutunyan explores how the rebel and the Tsar defined each other through a centuries-long dance of dissent and repression. These characters and their lives not only reveal the true nature of the Russian state, they also offer hope for a future Russian democracy.

    This comprehensive volume brings together five essential topics—Feudalism, Knights and Chivalry, Medieval Education, Medieval Monasticism, and Medieval Medicine—offering a vivid and informative picture of the world between the 5th and 15th centuries. 
    Feudalism unpacks the political and economic system that defined medieval Europe, where land ownership, vassalage, and loyalty structured society and dictated power dynamics. This section reveals how feudal ties affected governance, warfare, and daily life for peasants and nobles alike. 
    Knights and Chivalry delves into the romanticized but complex world of the knight—examining the code of chivalry, the ideals of honor and loyalty, and the brutal realities of medieval warfare and training. It also explores the cultural and symbolic roles knights played in literature and legend. 
    Medieval Education traces the development of learning during the Middle Ages, from cathedral schools to the birth of universities. It examines how knowledge was preserved, transmitted, and expanded by scholars, monks, and philosophers amid religious and political shifts. 
    Medieval Monasticism explores the role of monasteries as spiritual havens and centers of literacy, medicine, and agricultural innovation. Monastic life shaped religious thought, preserved classical texts, and influenced social and economic development across Europe. 
    Medieval Medicine reveals how health and healing were understood in a time when science was interwoven with religion and superstition. This section covers medical practices, key figures, and the influence of classical and Islamic knowledge on medieval health care. 
    Together, these five studies provide a rich understanding of the social fabric and cultural evolution of the medieval world, uncovering the foundations that would influence Europe for centuries.
