Histories of the Modern Nations

This latest addition to the Histories of the Modern Nations series explores the complex and diverse history of the United States from the nation's precolonial origins to the present day. Supported by the most up-to-date historiography, this book highlights America's diverse populations and the myriad struggles over time that many, including millions of Indigenous peoples and African Americans, have historically faced in a country where freedom and opportunity have been promised, but not always delivered, to all Americans. From before the time of Christopher Columbus to the presidency of Donald J. Trump, the author introduces readers to the people, events, and ideas that have for more than two centuries shaped the story of America both at home and abroad.

The History of the United States

The remarkable story of one of humankind's most far-reaching, dynamic and brutal experimentsThis superb book begins in 1511 with the shipwreck of two Spanish sailors in Yucatán. Only ten years later an army of European adventurers and indigenous rebels seized the island city of Tenochtitlán, seat of one of the world's great empires. The capture of the future Mexico City marked the collision of two long-separated worlds, radically different in everything from biota to urban planning. Spaniards discovered tomatoes, chocolate, and the most sophisticated city they had ever seen. Mexicans discovered horses, wheels, and lethal germs. Gillingham chronicles the cataclysmic century of disease, brought from afar, that killed a majority of the indigenous population and led to a startling recombination of cultures. The industrial mining of Mexico's silver transformed the wealth and trade of the world. Mexico's independence from Spain went on to bring a calamitous war with the United States, one of the first great social revolutions and a one-party government that, whatever its shortcomings, brought peace for Mexicans throughout many of the global horrors of the twentieth century before the country itself collapsed into violence in the 2000s. A pleasure to read, Mexico: A History uses the latest research to dazzling effect, showing how often Mexico has been a dynamic and vital shaper of world affairs.

This open access book establishes an interpretative framework by means of a functionalist-originalist reading of EU law and comparative federalism, in particular US constitutional law. 

The EU is undergoing one of the most profound structural crises of its history, relating to the rule of law and fundamental rights. The author conceptualises the existential question in terms of ontology, constitutional legitimacy, doctrine and institutional process. By providing the first conceptual methodology (based on comparative federalism and focusing on law and rights) the book develops proposals which can be used to address the EU's current constitutional challenges.

A Comparative Perspective

The Diagonality Problem of the EU Rule of Law

George Downing came of age as a Puritan pioneer in colonial Massachusetts, before crossing the Atlantic to sign up for the English Civil War. He fast became Oliver Cromwell's chief of military intelligence and was later a diplomat and an MP. However, Downing spectacularly switched sides, shamelessly betraying his friends. He prospered under Charles II, yet he remains one of the most elusive figures of his age. In Turncoat he emerges as the extraordinary - if troubling - anti-hero of his own life story. Judged by contemporaries to be 'a fearful gentleman' and a 'perfidious rogue', Downing was a double-dealer who bribed and blackmailed his way to diplomatic success across Europe; and, when it was expedient, betrayed friends to horrifically violent deaths. He pioneered the practice of judicial kidnapping known today as 'extraordinary rendition', was a booster of the Atlantic slave trade and had a hand in starting two major wars. Always at the centre of events, Downing engaged with the most illustrious men and women of his times. His patrons were Oliver Cromwell and King Charles II. Samuel Pepys was his clerk; John Milton prepared his letters and dispatches. William of Orange was godfather to his son; his next-door neighbour was Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia; and when Downing finally built his street, his surveyor was Sir Christopher Wren. Turncoat follows George Downing from the asceticism of Puritan New England, across English battlefields, through courts, chancelleries and parliaments, to the fleshpots of Restoration London, where he would spend his final years in unrestrained indulgence as one of the richest men in the kingdom.

War, Culture and Society

It is surprising that scholars of Civil War memory have paid relatively little attention to the function of nostalgia within the Lost Cause movement created by white southern political, military, and civilian elites to explain Confederate defeat. This innovative study addresses this oversight by examining the emotional charge and political power of white southern nostalgia for an imagined past. This study also explores how counter-voices, black and white, articulated an alternative historical narrative to undermine the lost cause and its central themes in an era of growing racism and white supremacy. Taking as its thematic starting point the Confederacy's defeat in 1865, the book builds on the idea that memories are produced out of historical experience by showing how their recall by individuals and groups plays an important role in the construction of the past. 
 
Using diaries, letters, reminiscences, magazines, fiction, and film, The Lost Cause of the Confederacy and American Civil War Memory illustrates how the Lost Cause shaped regional identity and distinctiveness in the decades following the Civil War as well as how critics confronted and challenged its rituals and rhetoric in cultural representations. As controversy over the removal of Confederate monuments has shown, disputes over the southern past, and how it should be remembered, still resonate today.
