Freedom Round the Globe

A New History of the American Revolution

As powerfully intimate as it is politically incendiary' VOGUE 'Private Revolutions could be a Netflix series, for family, violence and romance abound' IRISH TIMES 'A portrait of China through four women who refused to accept the life laid out for them. Incredible' SUNDAY TIMES 'A revelatory, moving and tender tale of hopes, fears and change' PETER FRANKOPAN *A Sunday Times, Observer &amp; BBC Highlight for 2024* This is a book about the coming of age of four women born in China in the 1980s and 1990s, in a society about to change beyond recognition. It is about Leiya, who wants to escape the fate of the women in her village. Still underage, she bluffs her way on to the factory floor. It is about June, who at fifteen sets what her family thinks is an impossible goal: to attend university rather than raise pigs. It is about Siyue, ranked second-to-bottom of her English class, who decides to prove her teachers wrong. And it is about Sam, who becomes convinced that the only way to change her country is to become an activist - even as the authorities slowly take her peers from the streets. With unprecedented access to the lives, hopes, homes, dreams and diaries of four ordinary women over a period of six years, Private Revolutions gives a voice to those whose stories go untold. At a time of rising state censorship and suppression, it unearths the identity of modern Chinese society - and, through the telling, something of our own.

Private Revolutions

The Writer's Lot explores the working lives of eighteenth-century French authors-celebrities and unknowns-at a time when their example, if not often their ideas, changed the course of history. Taking the measure of "literary France" as a whole, Robert Darnton offers rare insight into the social ferment of the Age of Revolution.

Elements in Gender and Politics

The Bloomsbury History of Modern Russia Series

Charlotte Alston's important new study explores the relationship between Russian anti-state activists and western publics, intellectuals and governments, from 1848 to the present.

Russian activists and writers were important agents in shaping western engagement with Russia in the 19th and 20th centuries and this book analyses and traces their involvement. From the 1890s Russian revolutionaries and western sympathisers and the 1920s opponents of the early Soviet regime, through to the 1960s and 1970s dissident literature, smuggled out of the Soviet Union and published abroad to shape western understandings of the Soviet system, Alston investigates the ways in which anti-state polemics shaped and sometimes challenged western understandings of Russia. It also goes on to explore the opportunities and limitations afforded by the western space in which such activists operated.

Beginning in the tsarist era, and moving from the early revolutionary and Stalinist regimes through to the thaw, glasnost and the 'new Russia', Dissidents, Émigrés and Revolutionaries in Russia deals with Russian dissenters and Russian authorities of many political stripes in what is a vital text for all students and scholars of modern Russian history.

A multifaceted history of Black resistance during the War of IndependenceThe American Revolution brought about violent and unpredictable social changes throughout the new nation, particularly in the South. Sylvia Frey reveals how slave resistance gave rise to a Black liberation movement that was central to the revolutionary struggle in the southern colonies, and how Black resistance persisted after the war as a struggle for cultural power that manifested itself in the establishment of separate Black churches with distinctive ritual patterns and moral values. She examines how white Southerners responded to Black resistance amid their own fight for independence from the British, and how they reacted to new movements by African Americans in the postwar period. With an incisive foreword by Manisha Sinha, Water from the Rock shows how the upheavals of war created opportunities for a quiet revolution that laid the foundations for the modern civil rights movement in America.

A History of France in 21 Women

In April 2019, following over six months of persistent youth-led protests, Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir was successfully deposed, bringing an end to three decades of authoritarian rule in Sudan.In this illuminating volume, Khalid Mustafa Medani examines the political and socioeconomic factors that led to the revolution and diagnoses the challenges that remain for the consolidation of democracy. He explores the role of political economy in the popular uprising and discusses some oft-neglected factors in the analysis of popular protests in Africa and the Middle East. These include the relationship between geopolitics and grassroots activism in democratisation; the role of social media and diasporic activism in helping to shape and sustain local networks of resistance; and new dynamics of mobilisation, which have seen the emergence of youth and women in particular as central actors in the protests.Based on many years of research, Revolutionary Sudan shines light on the ways in which Sudan''s revolution holds important lessons for popular uprisings in the region and beyond.

Object Lessons

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.

Our ability to make a fist is what distinguishes humans from every other species, including primates. The fist played a crucial role in the birth of language and appears in nearly every form of nonverbal communication, particularly haptics and kinesiology. We use our fist to protest oppression, give pleasure, knock on doors, give daps, and (inaccurately) measure our hearts-yet we see them as a sign of someone on the edge. 

This book asks what happens when we lean over the edge of what a fist can do and symbolize. Fist uses historical moments and artifacts, primary interviews, and personal narratives to explore the fist's polysemous and divisive nature. Fist examines knuckle tattoos, the Black Power salute, Obama's fist bumps, the Fig, and fisting, the last sexual taboo. Fist uncovers what flexing our knuckles says, not just about us, but the world in which we live.

Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
