Sexual revolution in Bolshevik Russia
by Gregory Carleton
(
Book
)
1 edition published in 2005 in English and held by 69 libraries worldwide "Sexual Revolution in Bolshevik Russia offers a comprehensive literary and cultural history of sex and society in the Soviet Union during the 1920s. The Bolshevik Revolution promised a total transformation of Russian society, down to its most intimate details. But in the years immediately following 1917, it was by no means clear how this would come about. Sex and sexuality became a crucial battleground for debates about the Soviet future, and literature emerged as a primary domain through which sex could be imagined and discussed." "Drawing on an uncommonly varied body of sources, including novels, journals, diaries, sociological research, public health brochures, surveys, and party documents - many examined here for the first time in English - Gregory Carleton reveals the dramatic, bizarre, and intriguing ways the sexual revolution was discussed and represented. Amidst this chaos, he discerns a historical process of codification and reaction, leading ultimately to the quelling of debate in the 1930s through the harsh dictates of Stalinism."--Jacket.

Slave emancipation in Cuba the transition to free labor, 1860-1899
by Rebecca J Scott
(
Book
)
1 edition published in 2000 in English and held by 13 libraries worldwide "Slave Emancipation in Cuba is the classic study of the end of slavery in Cuba. Rebecca J. Scott explores the dynamics of Cuban emancipation, arguing that slavery was not simply abolished by the metropolitan power of Spain or abandoned because of economic contradictions. Rather, slave emancipation was a prolonged, gradual and conflictive process unfolding through a series of social, legal, and economic transformations." "Scott demonstrates that slaves themselves helped to accelerate the elimination of slavery. Through flight, participation in nationalist insurgency, legal action, and self-purchase, slaves were able to force the issue, helping to dismantle slavery piece by piece. With emancipation, former slaves faced transformed, but still very limited, economic options. By the end of the nineteenth-century, some chose to join a new and ultimately successful rebellion against Spanish power." "In a new afterword, prepared for this edition, the author reflects on the complexities of postemancipation society, and on recent developments in historical methodology that make it possible to address these questions in new ways."--BOOK JACKET.

Societies after slavery a select annotated bibliography of printed sources on Cuba, Brazil, British colonial Africa, South Africa, and the British West Indies
(
Book
)
1 edition published in 2002 in English and held by 12 libraries worldwide "Societies after Slavery is the definitive resource for scholars and students engaged in research on postemancipation societies in the Americas and Africa. Providing thousands of entries and scholarly annotations, the bibliography covers a span of emancipations from the British West Indies in the 1830s to Sierra Leone in 1927." "To aid researchers conducting comparative studies, the editors - leading figures in slavery and postemancipation research - have identified and annotated primary and secondary sources that can be readily found in major research libraries or accessed from any university or public library participating in a research consortium. The bibliography is arranged geographically - the British West Indies, British Colonial Africa, South Africa, Cuba, and Brazil - and includes sources such as parliamentary and congressional hearings and inquiries, reports of governmental and international agencies, missionary records, published census reports, correspondence published in the context of contemporary debates, personal memoirs, surveys, autobiographies, early sociological and ethnographic studies, and transcriptions of oral interviews." "Societies after Slavery also features many new documentary sources for use in teaching courses such as the comparative history of slavery and emancipation, and is particularly useful for professors undertaking the challenge of an Atlantic Studies or other systematic approach to the history of Europe, Africa, and the Americas."--BOOK JACKET.
Piety, power, and politics religion and nation formation in Guatemala, 1821-1871
by Douglass Sullivan-González
(
Book
)
1 edition published in 1998 in English and held by 12 libraries worldwide "Douglass Sullivan-Gonzalez examines the influence of religion on the development of nationalism in Guatemala during the period 1821-1871, focusing on the relationship between Rafael Carrera and the Guatemalan Catholic Church. He illustrates the peculiar and fascinating blend of religious fervor, popular power, and caudillo politics that inspired a multiethnic and multiclass alliance to defend the Guatemalan nation in the mid-nineteenth century." "Sullivan-Gonzalez shows that religious discourse and ritual were crucial to the successful construction and defense of independent Guatemala. Sermons commemorating independence from Spain developed a covenantal theology that affirmed divine protection if the Guatemalan people embraced Catholicism. Sullivan-Gonzalez examines the extent to which this religious and nationalist discourse was popularly appropriated." "Though populist and antidemocratic, the historic legacy of the Carrera years is the Guatemalan nation. Sullivan-Gonzalez details how theological discourse, popular claims emerging from mestizo and Indian communities, and the caudillo's ability to finesse his enemies enabled Carrera to bring together divergent and contradictory interests to bind many nations into one."--BOOK JACKET.
