Summary

Census History unveils the profound impact of population data collection on societies, demonstrating how counting people has shaped governance, taxation, and social policies across civilizations. From ancient tallies used for taxation and military conscription to modern statistical analyses, the book traces the evolution of the census. Intriguingly, census data is not merely a neutral reflection of demographics; it actively shapes political landscapes, influencing electoral apportionment and resource allocation. 

 
The book progresses historically, examining early census efforts before exploring the development of modern methods in England, France, and the United States. It then analyzes the political ramifications, such as gerrymandering, and the societal impact on healthcare, education, and housing.

 
By challenging the unquestioned authority of official statistics, Census History encourages a critical examination of how population data is collected, interpreted, and utilized, making it a valuable resource for understanding the intersection of data, governance, and society.

    In How to Lose the Hounds Celeste Winston explores marronage—the practice of flight from and placemaking beyond slavery—as a guide to police abolition. She examines historically Black maroon communities in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, that have been subjected to violent excesses of police power from slavery until the present day. Tracing the long and ongoing historical geography of Black freedom struggles in the face of anti-Black police violence in these communities, Winston shows how marronage provides critical lessons for reimagining public safety and community well-being. These freedom struggles take place in what Winston calls maroon geographies—sites of flight from slavery and the spaces of freedom produced in multigenerational Black communities. Maroon geographies constitute part of a Black placemaking tradition that asserts life-affirming forms of community. Winston contends that maroon geographies operate as a central method of Black flight, holding ground, and constructing places of freedom in ways that imagine and plan a world beyond policing.

    The Nazi regime of Germany during World War II is known for its atrocities, including the systematic persecution and extermination of millions of Jews and other minorities. However, the unethical medical experiments conducted by Nazi doctors on prisoners are less widely known, which were rooted in the ideology of Darwinism and racial purification. These experiments involved subjecting prisoners to brutal and often deadly procedures in the name of scientific advancement and the supposed improvement of the Aryan race. The ethical implications of these experiments and how pseudoscientific theories of racial superiority justified them continue to raise important questions about the role of science and medicine in society and the need for ethical guidelines and oversight in research. This paper explores the ethical dilemmas presented by the Nazi medical experiments, the relationship between Darwinism and racial purification, and the ongoing implications of these issues for contemporary society.

    The devastating events of World War II, particularly the Holocaust, left an indelible mark on the history of humanity. This chapter sets the stage for understanding the roots of hatred that led to one of the most horrific genocides in human history, and the role of ordinary people in shaping the course of events during the war. The Holocaust was not just an isolated act of mass murder; it was the culmination of a complex set of political, social, and cultural factors that had been brewing for decades. To grasp the magnitude of the atrocities, we must first look at the deep-seated prejudices and ideologies that laid the groundwork for such violence. 
      
    The roots of hatred can be traced back to centuries of anti-Semitism in Europe. Jews, along with other minority groups, had long been scapegoated for various societal issues. This animosity intensified during times of political and economic upheaval, particularly in post-World War I Europe, where the Treaty of Versailles created a climate of resentment and instability. The rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party capitalized on this frustration, offering a vision of a united and racially pure Germany. This vision, however, was built on a foundation of hate, exclusion, and dehumanization. 
      
    Nazi ideology emphasized the superiority of the "Aryan" race and portrayed Jews, Romani people, disabled individuals, and others as inferior and dangerous. Propaganda played a critical role in spreading these ideas, as the Nazi regime sought to indoctrinate the German public through media, education, and political rallies. Hitler's vision for Germany was one in which racial purity was paramount, and the systematic exclusion of those deemed undesirable was essential to achieving this goal.
