Racisms - From the Crusades to the Twentieth Century - Bok av Francisco Bethencourt - Häftad

Racisms is the first comprehensive history of racism, from the Crusades to the twentieth century.

Gawkers - Art and Audience in Late Nineteenth-Century France - Bok av Bridget Alsdorf - Inbunden

Gawkers - Art and Audience in Late Nineteenth-Century France - Bok av Bridget Alsdorf - Inbunden

\Gawkers explores how artists and writers in late nineteenth-century Paris represented the seductions, horrors, and banalities of street life through the eyes of curious viewers known as badauds. In contrast to the singular and aloof bourgeois flãaneur, badauds were passive, collective, instinctive, and highly impressionable. Above all, they were visual, captivated by the sights of everyday life. Beautifully illustrated and drawing on a wealth of new research, Gawkers excavates badauds as a subject..

Agents of Reform - Child Labor and the Origins of the Welfare State - Bok av Elisabeth Anderson - Häftad

The Jewish Century, New Edition - Bok av Yuri Slezkine - Häftad

The Jewish Century, New Edition - Bok av Yuri Slezkine - Häftad

Slezkine argues that the Jews were, in effect, among the world's first free agents. They traditionally belonged to a social and anthropological category known as \service nomads,\ an outsider group specializing in the delivery of goods and services. Their role, Slezkine argues, was part of a broader division of human labor between what he calls Mercurians-entrepreneurial minorities--and Apollonians--food-producing majorities. Since the dawning of the Modern Age, Mercurians have taken center stage...
