A New History of the American Revolution

The 400-Year Fight to End Slavery in the Americas

The Great Resistance

The Hunger Games

Sunrise on the Reaping, the fifth book in the series, willrevisit the world of Panem twenty-four years before the eventsof The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the reaping of theFiftieth Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell.

Sunrise on the Reaping

When the young Tunisian street vendor, Muhammad Bou Azizi, set himself alight in December 2010, he ignited a movement that in three weeks toppled the twenty-three year old dictatorship of President Ben Ali. Tunisia's 2011 uprising took experts by surprise. Few in the West looked to Tunisia's history of dissent and rebellion as a way to understand the present moment. However, in the country itself, headlines read "2011 revives the memory of 1864". 
 
This is the first work in English to address the significance of Tunisia's 1864 rebellion for understanding Tunisia's 2011 experience, and its reverberation across the Arab world. Using a variety of sources - from state archives and scholarly monographs, to poetry festivals, theater productions, radio and TV programs - the book reveals a documented history of political manipulation and popular resistance to it. Power and Protest in Tunisia traces the battle for the memory of the original anti-tax, anti-centre rebellion of 1864 that brought Tunisia's tribes into a fragile but year-long alliance with coastal town populations. It uniquely places the recent revolution in the context of past social struggles emerging from the same interior regions. 
 
The book demonstrates how and why various regimes used the 1864 revolt to justify political agendas across the longue durée, from the liberal 'reform' era of the beys (Ottoman provincial governors) to the postcolonial present. Successive regimes have used this history to instill fear and suppress dissent, but this book shows that popular memory has preserved the event as a powerful symbolic example of collective mobilization against injustice and corruption-one that nearly toppled a dynasty.

Remembering Revolution, Rebellion and Collective Dissent, 1864 -2011

Power and Protest in Tunisia

This book is the first selected collection of Emmeline Pankhurst's letters, and offers new insights into her political career, transnational social networks and family relationships.

Emmeline Pankhurst, the leader of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), was one of the most influential women of the 20th century. Charismatic, determined and a powerful orator, she was very much an activist who considered herself incompetent with a pen. Yet this selected collection of 150 letters compiled and carefully contextualised by leading gender historian June Purvis reveals a woman who could write well and vividly.

The letters focus on Emmeline's suffragette years, but they also provide glimpses into the First World War and the Women's Party, of which she was co-founder and co-leader together with her daughter Christabel. Collectively, they offer new insights into her political career, transnational social networks and family relationships. For example, she corresponded with socialist figures such as Philip Snowden and Sam Robinson; with suffragettes such as Caroline Phillips and Elizabeth Robins; with well-known liberals such as C. P. Scott, editor of The Manchester Guardian; with admirers such as Alice Morgan Wright and Alva Belmont; with male symphathisers such as Henry Harben and Hugh Franklin; and with her own family members.

This first collection of Emmeline Pankhurst's letters, some of them made available to the public for the first time, will be essential reading for academics and students interested in the history of the suffragette movement and modern British political history.

The Selected Letters of Emmeline Pankhurst

Bloomsbury Handbooks

Through 30 interpretative essays, The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Russian Revolution sees an international team of leading scholars comprehensively examine Russia's revolutionary years. In the wake of the 2017 centenary, this handbook is the first reference point for anyone wishing to learn more about the changes which took place in Russia between 1917 and 1921 and subsequently the 20th century. Split into six sections covering political crises, politicians and parties, social groups, identities, regions and peoples, and civil war, the volume covers the collapse of Tsarism and the February Revolution, the emergence of the Provisional Government, and major historical figures such as Lenin, Kerensky and the Socialist Revolutionary leader Viktor Chernov. It also explores the events surrounding the Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1917, the first year of Soviet Government until the Bolshevik dictatorship was established, and the impact on Russia of the subsequent civil war. The focus is broader than these issues of high politics, however, since this handbook also considers events in the provinces as well as revolutionary Petrograd, and examines the social impact of the revolution in terms of class, gender, age and culture.

The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Russian Revolution

A new account of the relevance of Hegel’s ideas for today’s world, countering the postwar anti-Hegel "insurgency" G.W.F. Hegel was widely seen as the greatest philosopher of his age. Ever since, his work has shaped debates about issues as varied as religion, aesthetics and metaphysics. His most lasting contribution was his vision of history and politics. In Hegel’s World Revolutions, Richard Bourke returns to Hegel’s original arguments, clarifying their true import and illuminating their relevance to contemporary society. Bourke shows that central to Hegel’s thought was his anatomy of the modern world. On the one hand he claimed that modernity was a deliverance from subjection, but on the other he saw it as having unleashed the spirit of critical reflection. Bourke explores this predicament in terms of a series of world revolutions that Hegel believed had ushered in the rise of civil society and the emergence of the constitutional state. Bourke interprets Hegel’s thought, with particular reference to his philosophy of history, placing it in the context of his own time. He then recounts the reception of Hegel’s political ideas, largely over the course of the twentieth century. Countering the postwar revolt against Hegel, Bourke argues that his disparagement by major philosophers has impoverished our approach to history and politics alike. Challenging the condescension of leading thinkers—from Heidegger and Popper to Lévi-Strauss and Foucault—the book revises prevailing views of the relationship between historical ideas and present circumstances.

A Sunday Times, Times Literary Supplement, and The Times Book of the Year'Robert Darnton is one of the world's greatest historians, and this is an exceptional book: a huge social and cultural portrait of Paris in the build-up to the French Revolution' Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times, Books of the Year When a Parisian crowd stormed the Bastille in July 1789, it triggered an event of global consequence: the overthrow of the monarchy and the birth of a new society. Most historians account for the French Revolution by viewing it as the outcome of underlying conditions such as a faltering economy, class conflict or Enlightenment ideology. Without denying any of these, Robert Darnton offers a different explanation: what Parisians themselves, those at the centre of the Revolution, thought was happening at the time and how it guided their actions. To understand the rise of what he calls 'the revolutionary temper', Darnton draws on a lifetime's study of pamphlets, books, underground newsletters, songs and public performances, exploring Paris as an information society not unlike our own. Its news circuits were centred in cafes and market-places, on park benches, and under the Palais-Royal's Tree of Cracow, a favourite gathering-place for gossips. He shows how the events of forty years - from disastrous treaties, official corruption and royal scandal to thrilling hot-air balloon ascents and a new conception of the nation - all entered the collective consciousness of ordinary Parisians. As news and opinion travelled across this profoundly unequal society, public trust in royal authority eroded, its legitimacy was undermined, and the social order unravelled. Much of Robert Darnton's work has explained the hidden dynamics of history, never more so than in this exceptional book. It is a riveting narrative, but it adds a new dimension, the perceptions of contemporary Parisians, which allows us to see these momentous decades afresh.

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.
