7).It might be appropriate to acknowledge up front that this book covers a fair amount of territory, however provocatively, which might remain on the fringes of interest for the core readership of a journal in humor studies.Clowns and clowning would, of course, represent a natural connection to the field, and circus as one of their home habitats might well be of general interest.The book, however, winds its way through a much broader argument tha…
Judith Yaross Lee and John Bird
Seeing Mad: Essays on Mad Magazine's Humor and Legacy is a hefty book, with twenty-one essays, plus introductory and supplemental entries.For those who either grew up under Mad's vaguely improper comic spell or have interest in its historical contribution to American humor during the latter twentieth century and after, the volume affords an illuminating deepest of dives into a recognizable lineage of parody, satire, and humor over the past seven …
Between Reform and Revolution
The powerful impact of Socialism and Communism on modern German history is the theme which is explored by the contributors to this volume. Whereas previous investigations have tended to focus on political, intellectual and biographical aspects, this book captures, for the first time, the methodological and thematic diversity and richness of current work on the history of the German working class and the political movements that emerged from it. B…
The Ever-Present Other
The Ernest Gellner Nationalism Lecture
The USSR played a key role in the establishment of the post‐World War II human rights system despite its repressive and even murderous domestic record. It forged an alliance with the countries of the Global South in support of decolonization, self‐determination, and social and economic rights, policies opposed by liberal states like the United States, Great Britain, and France. These positions were deeply rooted in the socialist tradition. Moreov…
A World Divided
Weimar Germany
'Weimar Germany' explores the great political and cultural innovations in Germany after World War I. Germans forged democratic institutions and the country's great talents developed new forms of expression that reflected modern, mass society.
The Palgrave Handbook of Contemporary Irish Theatre and Performance
During the 2016 centenary celebrations of the Easter Rising, one of the best-known images of the rebellion was the face of Seán Foster. His image appeared in numerous online articles; on RTÉ television over Easter weekend itself; and on a commemorative postal stamp [...]
Genocide and Global and/or World History
Soon after Raphael Lemkin coined the term “genocide” in Axis Rule in Occupied Europe in 1944, he began working on a world history of genocide to popularize his neologism.1 Correspondence with fundi

Self-Determination
NO PHRASE HAS HAD GREATER political resonance in the last one hundred years than "self-determination."No concept is as murky as self-determination.Even legal scholars, from whom one hopes to find some precision, throw up their hands in confusion and dismay."No one is very clear as to what it [the right of self-determination] means," writes James Crawford. 1 Others are even more scathing: "Juridically, the notion of a legal 'right' of self-determi…
Manus I. Midlarsky. Origins of Political Extremism
Manus I. Midlarsky tackles a most difficult issue: how to understand political extremism across widely varying forms, geographies, and chronologies. He is on the hunt for an overarching thesis that enables us to understand communism, fascism, Islamic radicalism, and extreme nationalism. Midlarsky is a political scientist with a difference (these days): he takes history seriously and quickly dispenses with the idea that cross-national studies will…
Samuel Moyn and the new history of human rights
Human rights is suddenly a booming field for historians. Political theorists, international relations specialists and legal scholars for years have explored the intellectual and political concept of human rights with acuity. But not historians. Legions of histories cover rights struggles in particular settings. Intellectual histories abound that locate the origins of rights in Ancient Greece, Renaissance Florence or 17th-century Britain or, perha…

Weimar Germany and its Histories
Years later, after the catastrophes of the Third Reich and World War II, Arnold Zweig remembered how he had returned home from another disaster, World War I. “With what hopes had we come back from the war!” he wrote. Zweig recalled not just the catastrophe of total war, but also the élan of revolution. Like a demon, he threw himself into politics, then into his writing. “I have big works, wild works, great well-formed, monumental works in my head…

Still Two Trains Passing in the Night? Labor and Gender in German Historiography
The separation of labor and gender continues in German historiography. Major new studies in labor history still manage to ignore the category of gender. Partly this is a result of a well-entrenched academic culture. But this trend is also related to the collapse of the German Democratic Republic. The issue of Vergangenheitsbewältigung (coming to terms with the past), while certainly of great importance, has so dominated German intellectual life t…
On Certainties and Ambivalencies
Eric D. Weitz argues that the Soviet Union promoted the development of national institutions and consciousness and explicidy rejected the ideology of race. Yet traces of racial politics crept into Soviet nationalities policies, especially between 1937 and 1953. In the Stalin period particular populations were endowed with immutable traits that every member of the group possessed and that were passed from one generation to the next. Recent scholar…

Reflections on the Origins of the 'Third Period
The Sixth Congress of the Communist International met in Moscow in the summer of 1928. In his opening presentation, Nikolai Bukharin depicted a capitalist world entering a new period of crisis. He noted signs of great economic progress - significant technological advances, the growing concentration of production, a general increase in national incomes. But alongside these advances existed high levels of structural unemployment, an intensified exp…

Rosa Luxemburg Belongs to Us!” German Communism and the Luxemburg Legacy
Rosa Luxemburg's commitment to democratic politics stands as her most pronounced intellectual legacy. Her rhetoric, rarely mundane, becomes especially compelling and powerful when she invokes the creative potential of human beings to order their own affairs, the lifeblood of society pulsing through the actions of ordinary people. Especially her famed writings on the Russian Revolution have served as the intellectual wellsprings for an alternative…

The Realms of Identities
At the very end of Giuseppe di Lampedusa's The Leopard the priests come and remove the relics preserved and protected by the Prince of Salina's aged daughters, virtually the last survivors of the family. Nothing is left of the fabled world of the Sicilian aristocrats. Even the material and symbolic artifacts of their eminence—the religious relics they guarded and the palace over which they presided—have turned into rubble or taken on the musty ai…
