Konadu attempts to present a different perspective on the lives and experiences of Africans in the fifteenth and sixteenth-century by demonstrating how these “ordinary” women resisted European power and defied white male agents of empire. Rather than focusing on elite African women who derived influence from marriages and commercial contact with Europeans, as <strong>[End Page 167]</strong> many scholars have done in recent years, the book centers on three women who would seem to exercise little agency in their lives, embedded in the emerging Portuguese African empire. Konadu provides detailed narratives about each of these women’s lives, discussing each in turn, and offers insights into their different experiences of enslavement, intimate dealings with white officials, and relationships with other Africans, particularly women. He is primarily concerned with identifying elements of defiance in their actions. The text does not linger on these women’s experiences of slavery or sexual violence, although those are certainly part of the narrative, but instead Konadu emphasizes how the women’s lives were consistently colored by the tensions that existed between Portuguese newcomers and their African neighbors.</p> <p>Portuguese officials repeatedly sought to convert and subjugate these women but Graça, Mónica, and Adwoa all maintained lives outside of the Portuguese fortress on the Mina (Gold) Coast, São Jorge da Mina. One of Konadu’s primary assertions is about the limits of conversion. Despite agreeing to convert to Christianity, these women continued to engage in African spiritual practices that provided them with a life outside of the European-dominated fortress and offered spiritual powers beyond the reach of European and African males. The women actively defied Portuguese imperialism and Portuguese attempts to cultivate their religious control over Africans. By rejecting Catholic teachings that forbade the worship of non-Christian gods and material items, these women were actively working against Portuguese global domination.</p> <p>The most exciting part of Konadu’s project is his use of overlooked sources to center this topic on African","PeriodicalId":17466,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World History","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140001399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2022. xiii + 431 pp. ISBN 978-1-108-47922-6. $120.00 (hardcover). &lt;p&gt;Elizabeth Elbourne’s &lt;em&gt;Empire, Kinship and Violence&lt;/em&gt; is a pathbreaking new study that helps us to think about colonialism and the British &lt;strong&gt;[End Page 169]&lt;/strong&gt; Empire in North America, Australasia, and in sub-Saharan Africa. By exploring issues such as violence and settler colonialism through the experience of three families, the book provides an insightful new perspective. &lt;em&gt;Empire, Kinship and Violence&lt;/em&gt; expands on some of the themes and connections explored in Elbourne’s first book—&lt;em&gt;Blood Ground: Colonialism, Missions, and the Contest for Christianity in the Cape Colony and Britain, 1799&lt;/em&gt;–&lt;em&gt;1853&lt;/em&gt;. This book, alongside publications by Alan Lester, Zoe Laidlaw, and several others have deepened our understanding of the global as well as trans-colonial nature and connections of the British Empire in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The book is structured into three parts—each dedicated to the story of one extended family. Part I takes place in North America and centers around the Brant family—an influential Haudenosaunee (Iroquois/Six Nations) family that played a leading role in the Kanien kehá ka (Mohawk) nation. Part II follows the Bannisters, a minor English “gentry family in financial peril” (p. 9). Members of the Bannister family pursued colonial activities in Upper Canada, New South Wales, Van Diemen’s Land, Victoria, Western Australia, southern and western Africa, and were tied into the networks of the British Empire. The analysis in part three focuses on Britain, the Cape Colony, and western Africa. These chapters center on the Buxtons, an affluent, influential, and well-connected English noble family. Members of this family were active in “networks of humanitarian lobbying,” especially in the abolitionist cause and they also saw themselves as advocates for Indigenous rights (p. 307). But as Elbourne argues, through their activism, they were also advancing the colonizing agenda of the British Empire.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Empire, Kinship and Violence&lt;/em&gt; is a nuanced and detailed study. Elbourne provides us a glimpse into the violence, global connections, paradoxes of imperial liberalism, gender, power, family networks and dynamics, Indigenous capacities to deal with white settlers and administrators, enslavement, abolition, as well as struggles fo","PeriodicalId":17466,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World History","volume":"144 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140001343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2023. xiii + 253 pp. ISBN 978-1-108-48954-6. $39.99 (hardcover). &lt;p&gt;In this timely and significant book, Cindy Ermus examines the political and diplomatic effects of an epidemic of plague that struck Marseilles in 1720. Over the next two-and-a-half years the plague spread through Provence and into Languedoc, eventually killing some 100,000 people. It did not spread beyond southern France, but fear of it spread across Europe. Fear of the plague, and attempts to control its spread, affected diplomacy, politics, and trade, and (in Ermus’ main thesis) encouraged European governments to centralize and extend their powers in the name of public health.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ermus’ book is less a traditional history of medicine than a study in politics and disaster management. Although she does discuss the origin, &lt;strong&gt;[End Page 165]&lt;/strong&gt; symptoms, and treatment of the plague in Provence, her major interests are broader. She argues that the plague in Provence was the “first modern disaster,” and points to the ways that national governments sought to use and increase their powers during the epidemic. She casts a wide net in this book, looking far beyond Provence (or even France) to see how European nations dealt with fear of the plague and questions of public health during this epidemic.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The book begins with a chapter on the origin of the plague in Provence, and efforts to manage the crisis in the region. This chapter is followed by chapters on responses to the plague in Italy, England, Spain, and the French and Spanish colonies in the Caribbean.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ermus demonstrates throughout that political leaders sought to use tried-and-true methods of preventing plague from spreading. They quarantined ships, searched cargos, restricted travel across borders, required health certificates to travel, and strengthened or created public health agencies. In addition, however, eighteenth century governments took advantage of the crisis to enhance centralized power and achieve other diplomatic and economic goals.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In Italy, for example, a genuine fear of plague soon combined with traditional trade rivalries among the Italian ports. These fears were heightened as it became apparent that local French leaders had attempted to downplay the severity of the outbreak. As the Italian cities imposed quarantines or forbade entry to potentially affected ships, any city that was perceived as not doing enough to prevent the spread of plague might find itself cut off from trade alt","PeriodicalId":17466,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World History","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140001716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indianapolis: Hackett, 2022. xliv + 179 pp. ISBN 978-1-64792-049-4. $18.00 (paper). &lt;p&gt;Mohamed Adhikari rightly points out that settler genocides are often overlooked in comparison to the wider known mass-killings of the Holocaust and the genocide of the Tutsis in Rwanda. This book examines four settler genocides in the context of Western expansion across the world from approximately 1400 until the early twentieth century. The cases include the genocide of the Canary Islanders in the fifteenth century, the genocide of California’s Indigenous peoples during the Gold Rush from 1848 to 1870, the destruction of Aboriginal societies in Queensland in Australia during the second half of the nineteenth century, and the genocide of the Hereros of Southwestern Africa in the early twentieth century. The author has previously published on the genocide of the San people of South Africa. &lt;em&gt;Destroying to Replace&lt;/em&gt;, part of a series aimed at undergraduate students, contains a preface, a series editor’s foreword, an introduction, a detailed examination of the four case studies, and a conclusion highlighting several themes common to each case study. Each chapter of the four cases ends with a selection of primary sources to encourage discussion.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The introduction contains a succinct overview of the concepts of genocide and settler colonialism. The author emphasizes the influential role of the Polish-Jewish legal scholar Raphael Lemkin in developing the concept while in exile in the United States during the Second &lt;strong&gt;[End Page 172]&lt;/strong&gt; World War. As part of negotiations at the United Nations (UN), Lemkin’s original expansive definition was revised as the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide by the international body in December 1948. Although many scholars have used the UN definition, Adhikari argues that it is useful in international law but not in academia. The author settles on his own, which is the “intentional physical destruction of a social group or the intentional annihilation of such a significant part of the social relationships that constitute its communal life, that it is no longer able to reproduce itself biologically or culturally” (p. xxxii). Next, Adhikari discusses settler colonialism. Unlike resource exploitation colonies where violence committed against the Indigenous populations is relatively limited, Adhikari argues that in settler colonies, “where the expropriation of Indigenous land is central to the colonial project, violence is likely to be more intense” (pp. xxxiv–xxxv)","PeriodicalId":17466,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World History","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140001620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first is that of a Yugoslavia balancing between the superpowers while the second extends the image into the realm of ideology. But set within the language of International Relations, from the Tito-Stalin split of 1948 until the waning hours of the Cold War, Yugoslavia was a regional power that sought, and was to a degree successful, in cultivating a realm of strategic ambiguity between competing world hegemons. Therefore, this article seeks to show how a distinct strategy of self-determination on the part of the Yugoslav leadership broadens this history into something global.
