"Colony,"--or "Free State"? "Dependence,"--or "Just Connection"? "Empire,"--or "Union"? Navigating the Colonial Dilemma: Independence or Connection?【電子書籍】[ Alpheus Henry Snow ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "Colony, or Free State? Dependence, or Just Connection? Empire, or Union?", Alpheus Henry Snow intricately navigates the complex socio-political landscapes of colonialism and independence. Written during a critical period of heightened nationalism and imperial scrutiny, Snow employs a nuanced literary style that blends analytical rigor with evocative prose, establishing a compelling narrative that prompts readers to grapple with the intricacies of governance, autonomy, and identity. The text serves as a reflective commentary on the paradoxes inherent in colonial relationships and the struggle for self-definition through its potent rhetorical questions, urging contemplation on what true independence means in the face of political domination. Alpheus Henry Snow, a keen observer of the shifting currents of his time, was deeply informed by his experiences and scholarly pursuits in political theory and colonial studies. His background enabled him to critically engage with contemporary ideologies, extracting relevant insights that resonate through the ages. Snow's work reflects a synthesis of his personal convictions and a broader intellectual dialogue about the nature of statehood and the human condition. This book is highly recommended for scholars, students, and general readers interested in post-colonial studies, political philosophy, and the historical nuances of nationhood. Snow'??s thought-provoking explorations invite a reexamination of frameworks for understanding power dynamics and identity, making it a vital addition to any library dedicated to the complexities of modern governance.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	150円
THE GREAT WAR COLLECTION ? The Battle of Jutland, The Battle of the Somme & Nelson's History of the War (9 Books in One Volume) British Empire at War: WWI【電子書籍】[ John Buchan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This carefully crafted ebook: "THE GREAT WAR COLLECTION ? The Battle of Jutland, The Battle of the Somme & Nelson's History of the War (9 Books in One Volume)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. John Buchan (1875-1940) was a Scottish novelist, historian and also served as Canada's Governor General. With the outbreak of the First World War, Buchan worked as a correspondent in France for The Times. Content: Days to Remember: The British Empire in the Great War The Battle of Jutland The Battle of the Somme, First Phase The Battle of the Somme, Second Phase Nelson's History of the War (Volumes I?V) "The definite history of this war is not now to be written, or for many a day. Still it may be possible to disentangle from this struggle of armed nations over hundreds of miles some explicit narrative which may help all of us who are hungering for help and guidance. At present we do not authentically know even the subtle causes which produced this convulsion over half the world. What is on the surface is clear enough, but it is what is under the surface that matters. I am reluctant to believe in a diabolical and cold-blooded scheme to bring about war at this time; at least, this does not seem to be proved. We must, then, I think, suspend our judgment as to the real causes of war till time and documents give us the clue. Perhaps the pregnant word "mobilization" may explain much. Meanwhile we can only conjecture by the light of a few facts..."

The Invention of Prehistory Empire, Violence, and Our Obsession with Human Origins【電子書籍】[ Stefanos Geroulanos ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Winner of the Phi Beta Kappa Ralph Waldo Emerson Award＜/p＞＜p＞“[A]n incisive and captivating reassessment of prehistory . . . In lucid prose, Geroulanos unspools an enthralling and detailed history of the development of modern natural science. It’s a must-read.” ー＜em＞Publishers Weekly,＜/em＞ starred review＜/p＞＜p＞“An astute, powerfully rendered history of humanity.” ー＜em＞Kirkus Reviews＜/em＞, starred review＜/p＞＜p＞An eminent historian tells the story of how we came to obsess over the origins of humanityーand how, for three centuries, ideas of prehistory have been used to justify devastating violence against others.＜/p＞＜p＞Books about the origins of humanity dominate bestseller lists, while national newspapers present breathless accounts of new archaeological findings and speculate about what those findings tell us about our earliest ancestors. We are obsessed with prehistoryーand, in this respect, our current era is no different from any other in the last three hundred years. In this coruscating work, acclaimed historian Stefanos Geroulanos demonstrates how claims about the earliest humans not only shaped Western intellectual culture, but gave rise to our modern world.＜/p＞＜p＞The very idea that there was a human past before recorded history only emerged with the Enlightenment, when European thinkers began to reject faith-based notions of humanity and history in favor of supposedly more empirical ideas about the world. From the “state of nature” and Romantic notions of virtuous German barbarians to theories about Neanderthals, killer apes, and a matriarchal paradise where women ruled, Geroulanos captures the sheer variety and strangeness of the ideas that animated many of the major thinkers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, including Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Charles Darwin, and Karl Marx. Yet as Geroulanos shows, such ideas became, for the most part, the ideological foundations of repressive regimes and globe-spanning empires. Deeming other peoples “savages” allowed for guilt-free violence against them; notions of “killer apes” who were our evolutionary predecessors made war seem natural. The emergence of modern science only accelerated the West’s imperialism. The Nazi obsession with race was rooted in archaeological claims about prehistoric IndoGermans; the idea that colonialized peoples could be “bombed back to the Stone Age” was made possible by the technology of flight and the anthropological idea that civilization advanced in stages.＜/p＞＜p＞As Geroulanos argues, accounts of prehistory tell us more about the moment when they are proposed than about the deep pastーand if we hope to start improving our future, we would be better off setting aside the search for how it all started. A necessary, timely, indelible account of how the quest for understanding the origins of humanity became the handmaiden of war and empire, ＜em＞The Invention of Prehistory＜/em＞ will forever change how we think about the deep past.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,519円

The Last Empire The Final Days of the Soviet Union【電子書籍】[ Serhii Plokhy ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞The ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ bestselling author of ＜em＞The Gates of Europe＜/em＞ offers “a stirring account of an extraordinary moment” in Russian history (＜em＞Wall Street Journal＜/em＞)＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞On Christmas Day, 1991, President George H. W. Bush addressed the nation to declare an American victory in the Cold War: earlier that day Mikhail Gorbachev had resigned as the first and last Soviet president. The enshrining of that narrative, one in which the end of the Cold War was linked to the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the triumph of democratic values over communism, took center stage in American public discourse immediately after Bush's speech and has persisted for decades -- with disastrous consequences for American standing in the world.＜/p＞＜p＞As prize-winning historian Serhii Plokhy reveals in ＜em＞The Last Empire＜/em＞, the collapse of the Soviet Union was anything but the handiwork of the United States. Bush, in fact, was firmly committed to supporting Gorbachev as he attempted to hold together the USSR in the face of growing independence movements in its republics. Drawing on recently declassified documents and original interviews with key participants, Plokhy presents a bold new interpretation of the Soviet Union's final months, providing invaluable insight into the origins of the current Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the outset of the most dangerous crisis in East-West relations since the end of the Cold War.＜/p＞＜p＞＜strong＞Winner of the Lionel Gelber Prize＜br /＞ Winner of the Pushkin House Russian Book Prize＜br /＞ Choice Outstanding Academic Title＜br /＞ BBC History Magazine Best History Book of the Year＜/strong＞＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,255円

Bismarck And The German Empire【電子書籍】[ Dr. Erich Eyck ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞FOR MOST people Bismarck is the man of "blood and iron"; he coined the phrase himself and he lived up to it.

The Rise of the Russian Empire An Epic Tale of Imperial Expansion and Political Intrigue in Russia【電子書籍】[ Saki ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "The Rise of the Russian Empire," Saki employs a satirical and incisive literary style to explore the complex socio-political landscape of early Russian history. The text unfolds with a series of sharp observations and whimsical narratives that highlight the contradictions of imperial ambition, presenting a vivid tableau of the cultural and political forces that shaped a nation. Saki'??s wit and dark humor serve to underscore themes of power, ambition, and folly, rooting the exploration in the historical context of burgeoning nationalism and the intricate web of European politics during the 18th and 19th centuries. H.H. Munro, known by his pen name Saki, was deeply influenced by his upbringing in a politically charged environment in late Victorian England, where debates about imperialism, identity, and culture dominated intellectual discourse. This background imbued him with a keen sense of irony and a unique perspective on the absurdities of human nature, inspiring him to illuminate both the triumphs and tragedies of empires, particularly Russia'??s complex journey towards power and influence. Readers are encouraged to delve into this captivating work that offers not only a historical account but also a rich commentary on the human condition. "The Rise of the Russian Empire" is essential for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the paradoxes of empire and the nuanced interplay between history and narrative, all conveyed through Saki's masterful prose.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	150円

Britannia's Zealots, Volume I Tradition, Empire and the Forging of the Conservative Right【電子書籍】[ Dr. N.C. Fleming ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞Britannia's Zealots, Volume I＜/em＞ opens the first longitudinal study to examine the Conservative Right from the late-19th century to the present day. British Conservatism has always contained a significant section fundamentally opposed to progressive reform. A permanent minority in Parliament, dissident right-wing Conservatives nevertheless had allies in the press and sympathy among grassroots party members enabling them to create crises in the media and at party meetings.＜/p＞＜p＞N.C. Fleming charts the evolution of reactionary politics from its preoccupation with the Protestant constitution to its fixation with the prestige and strength of Britain's global empire. He examines the overlooked ways in which Conservative Right parliamentarians shaped their party's policies and propaganda, in and out of office, and their relationships with the press and ordinary activists. He seeks to demonstrate that this influence could be circumscribing, and on occasion highly disruptive, with consequences which remain relevant for today's Conservative party. ＜em＞Britannia's Zealots, Volume I＜/em＞ will be of great interest to academics and students of British history, right-wing politics, imperialism, and 20th-century history.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	5,955円
Race for Empire Koreans as Japanese and Japanese as Americans during World War II【電子書籍】[ Takashi Fujitani ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞Race for Empire＜/em＞ offers a profound and challenging reinterpretation of nationalism, racism, and wartime mobilization during the Asia-Pacific war. In parallel case studiesーof Japanese Americans mobilized to serve in the United States Army and of Koreans recruited or drafted into the Japanese militaryーT. Fujitani examines the U.S. and Japanese empires as they struggled to manage racialized populations while waging total war. Fujitani probes governmental policies and analyzes representations of these soldiersーon film, in literature, and in archival documentsーto reveal how characteristics of racism, nationalism, capitalism, gender politics, and the family changed on both sides. He demonstrates that the United States and Japan became increasingly alike over the course of the war, perhaps most tellingly in their common attempts to disavow racism even as they reproduced it in new ways and forms.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	11,276円

Cuisine and Empire Cooking in World History【電子書籍】[ Rachel Laudan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Rachel Laudan tells the remarkable story of the rise and fall of the world’s great cuisinesーfrom the mastery of grain cooking some twenty thousand years ago, to the presentーin this superbly researched book. Probing beneath the apparent confusion of dozens of cuisines to reveal the underlying simplicity of the culinary family tree, she shows how periodic seismic shifts in "culinary philosophy"ーbeliefs about health, the economy, politics, society and the godsーprompted the construction of new cuisines, a handful of which, chosen as the cuisines of empires, came to dominate the globe.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞Cuisine and Empire＜/em＞ shows how merchants, missionaries, and the military took cuisines over mountains, oceans, deserts, and across political frontiers. Laudan’s innovative narrative treats cuisine, like language, clothing, or architecture, as something constructed by humans. By emphasizing how cooking turns farm products into food and by taking the globe rather than the nation as the stage, she challenges the agrarian, romantic, and nationalistic myths that underlie the contemporary food movement.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,973円
