Synopsis

In "The Evolution of an Empire: A Brief Historical Sketch of France," Mary Platt Parmele offers a concise yet comprehensive examination of the multifaceted history of France, deftly weaving together political, social, and cultural threads that have shaped the nation. Written in a clear and engaging prose style characteristic of late 19th-century historical scholarship, Parmele's work is situated within a burgeoning interest in national histories as Europe grappled with its imperialistic impulses and national identities. The book's organization, marked by thematic sections that explore various epochs, provides readers with both an introductory framework and an insightful analysis of France's evolution through revolutions, wars, and cultural shifts. Mary Platt Parmele, an educator and historian of her time, dedicated her career to making history accessible to a broader audience, often focusing on the intersection of societal progress and national narratives. Influenced by her own experiences as a woman navigating a predominantly male scholarly field, Parmele sought to empower her readers through knowledge, illustrating how historical contexts shape contemporary society. Her keen awareness of social dynamics and commitment to education profoundly impacted her narrative choices in this work. This illuminating text is a vital resource for anyone interested in understanding France's complex past and its implications for the present. Parmele's engaging style and thorough research make this book an essential read for students, educators, and history enthusiasts seeking a nuanced perspective on the evolution of one of the world's most influential empires.

    The University of California, Berkeley—widely known as "Cal"—is admired worldwide as a bastion of innovation and a hub for progressive thought. Far less known are the university's roots in plunder, warfare, and the promotion of white supremacy. As Tony Platt shows in The Scandal of Cal, these original sins sit at the center of UC Berkeley's history. Platt looks unflinchingly at the university's desecration of graves and large-scale hoarding of Indigenous remains. He tracks its role in developing the racist pseudoscience of eugenics in the early twentieth century. He sheds light on the school's complicity with the military-industrial complex and its incubation of unprecedented violence through the Manhattan Project. And he underscores its deliberate and continued evasions about its own wrongdoings, which echo in the institution's decision-making up to the present day. This book, above all, illuminates Cal's culpability in some of the cruelest chapters of US history and sounds a clarion call for the university to undertake a thorough and earnest reckoning with its past. It is a must-listen for Cal alumni, students, faculty, and staff, and for anyone concerned with the impact of higher education in the United States and beyond.
