réf. B9780803277274Paperback / softback. New. In Indian Territory the Civil War is a story best told through shades of gray rather than black and white or heroes and villains. Since neutrality appeared virtually impossible the vast majority of territory residents chose a side doing so for myriad reasons and not necessarily out of affection for either the Union or the Confederacy. Indigenous residents found themselves fighting to protect their unusual dual status as communities distinct from the American citizenry yet legal wards of the federal government. The Civil War and Reconstruction in Indian Territory is a nuanced and authoritative examination of the layers of conflicts both on and off the Civil War battlefield. It examines the military front and the home front; the experiences of the Five Nations and those of the agency tribes in the western portion of the territory; the severe conflicts between Native Americans and the federal government and between Indian nations and their former slaves during and beyond the Reconstruction years; and the concept of memory as viewed through the lenses of Native American oral traditions and the modern evolution of public history. These carefully crafted essays by leading scholars such as Amanda Cobb-Greetham Clarissa Confer Richard B. McCaslin Linda W. Reese and F. Todd Smith will help teachers and students better understand the Civil War Native American history and Oklahoma history. paperback

réf. A9780415871143Paperback / softback. New. How did the Bhagavadgata first become an object of German philosophical and philological inquiry How were its foundational concepts initially interpreted within German intellectual circles and what does this episode in the history of cross-cultural encounter teach us about the status of comparative philosophy today This book addresses these questions through a careful study of the figures who read translated and interpreted the Bhagavadgata around the turn of the nineteenth century in Germany: J.G. Herder F. Majer F. Schlegel A.W. Schlegel W. von Humboldt and G.W.F. Hegel. Methodologically the study attends to the intellectual contexts and prejudices that framed the early reception of the text. But it also delves deeper by investigating the way these frameworks inflected the construction of the Bhagavadgata and its foundational concepts through the scholarly acts of excerpting anthologization and translation. Overall the project contributes to the pluralization of Western philosophy and its history while simultaneously arguing for a continued critical alertness in cross-cultural comparison of philosophical and religious worldviews. paperback

réf. B9780755600984Paperback / softback. New. India's endemic gender-based violence has received increased international scrutiny and provoked waves of domestic protest and activism. In recent years related studies on India and South Asia have proliferated but their analyses often fail to identify why violence flourishes. Unwilling to simply accept patriarchy as the answer Tamsin Bradley presents new research examining how different groups in India conceptualise violence against women revealing beliefs around religion caste and gender that render aggression socially acceptable. She also analyses the role that neoliberalism and its corollary consumerism play in reducing women to commodity objects for barter or exchange. Unpacking varied conservative liberal and neoliberal ideologies active in India today Bradley argues that they can converge unexpectedly to normalise violence against women. Due to these complex and overlapping factors rates of violence against women in India have actually increased despite decades of feminist campaigning. This book will be crucial to those studying Indian gender politics and violence but also presents new data and methodologies which have practical implications for researchers and policymakers worldwide. paperback
