Jared Poley. The Devil’s Riches
It is an ambitious project to try to describe the history of something like “greed” from the fifteenth to the twentieth century in a book of two hundred pages. Although Jared Poley’s The Devil’s Riches: A Modern History of Greed reduces the scope of the attempt by focusing almost exclusively on writings by prominent Western European intellectuals, it is still a daunting undertaking. In some ways the attempt is successful in achieving its stated g…
Kris Manjapra. Age of Entanglement
For some time now, it has been apparent that the emergence of global history implies a demand that historians in longer-established fields go about their business differently. Much of the attention that has been paid to this demand could fairly be called lip service. Recently, however, that has changed. In Age of Entanglement: German and Indian Intellectuals across Empire, Kris Manjapra, an intellectual historian, takes as his subject the interch…
Contexts of Colonialism
The contributions to the collection under review offer a wide range of treatments of ways in which German colonialism intersected with aspects of domestic German culture and politics, with particular attention to the larger global setting in which the German colonial empire existed between 1884 and 1918-or was remembered up to 1945. The review situates and critiques the contributions in interpretive contexts based on general suggestions by one of…

The Economic Value of British Colonial Empire in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
The Economic Value of British Colonial Empire in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
This article reviews recent research on aspects of the long‐standing debate among historians over the question of whether or not, on the whole, colonial expansion before 1800 contributed substantially to British economic development and industrialization. After narrowing the meaning of “colonial” to focus on coercion as its defining characteristic, we conclude that analyses based on the standard quantitative measures of economic development have …
Consumption and the Making of Respectability, 1600-1800
Tying together of several distinct cultural patterns during this century to create a culture of respectability and its impact on popular culture, trade, politics, social dynamics, and literature, this original and thoughtful work provides a comprehensive and much-needed understanding of the origins of modern consumption and all of its cultural impl
Beyond The Bridge on the River Kwai
Japan's war in Asia and the Pacific would have ground to a halt long before 1945 without the labor of millions of foreign workers, most of them mobilized against their will. For example, production of coal (then Japan's primary energy source) depended in large part on coerced labor from Korea, a Japanese colony from 1910 to 1945. Throughout Japan's wartime empire, at least fifteen million Asians were put to work, often under brutally exploitative…
La Quete de la Race. Une Anthropologie du Nazisme
The 1932 Asō Coal Strike
The 20-day-long Korean strike against the Asō coal mines in 1932 was the only sustained strike by a large number of Korean miners in prewar Japan and the largest strike of the year in Chikuhō, Japan's most important coal field. The 400 strikers demonstrated courage and cohesion but won at best a partial victory that left most of them without jobs. This article draws on union documents and a contemporary report by the Kyōchōkai, a semiprivate orga…

Politics and the Sciences of Culture in Germany 1840-1920
This book traces the roots of German imperialist ideology by examining the German cultural sciences of the 19th century, a group of academic disciplines, such as anthropology, demography, cultural history, and psychology, that blossomed in the nineteenth century and took culture as their primary object of study. Smith analyses the political implications of the patterns of thinking that emerged in the cultural sciences, tracing for example, the ev…

The Function of Commercial Centers in the Modernization of European Capitalism
During Amsterdam's development as the commercial center of Europe in the seventeenth century, an informal “information exchange” appeared among the economic and political institutions of the city. Informational economies of the types discussed by Stigler, North, and Pred led to the emergence of Amsterdam as the focal point of information flows throughout Europe. They also encouraged a high level of innovation within all functional areas of Amster…

The Ideology of German Colonialism, 1840-1906
Legislative Behavior in the German Reichstag, 1898–1906
One of the many issues currently under dispute by historians of Wilhelmine Germany is the question of “parliamentarization”: was the German political system, or was it not, evolving into a parliamentary democracy in the years before 1914? The answers to this and related questions have important implications for explaining modern German history

The social and political origins of German diffusionist ethnology
Diffusionism, an ethnological theory particularly dominant in Germany in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, can be shown to have had roots in the politics and major trends of social development of nineteenth-century Germany as well as in a variety of intellectual tendencies. In particular, it is argued that several important features of diffusionism, especially the concepts of Lebensraum, of “colonization” as a natural process, an…
