Описание: The Balkan crisis of 1875-8 may be considered as a prelude to the 1914-18 War: certainly the grouping of the Powers in 1914 was virtually determined by the interests which existed already in 1875-8. This study of the crisis is based on documents from the British, Austrian, and Serbian archives, the papers of Sir Henry Lanyard and the archives of the Russian Embassy in London.

Описание: Among the various kinds of occultism popular during the Russian Silver Age (1890-1914), modern Theosophy was by far the most intellectually significant.

Описание: This is a new (paperback) edition of the one-volume Africa and the West: A Documentary History from the Slave Trade to Independence (Oryx/Greenwood, 2001, $119.95). This second volume will be divided into two sections: Colonialism and Its Critics and The Contradictions of Post-Colonial Independence. This new edition uses all of the documents in the first edition, taken from both African and European sources, and adds some 20 pages of additional documents tocover the most recent developments. Some documents are the expected types, such as the Natives Land Act from South Africa, Mandela`s `No Easy Walk to Freedom,` and Nkrumah on pan-Africanism; others are more unusual, such as a German school examination for African children. Many of the sources have notpreviously appeared in print, or in books readily available to students. The authors have provided a detailed table of contents in place of impressionistic and often uninformative chapter titles; expanded the bibliography; added a list of websites for African historical resources; and added a few new maps. The book will provide a unique resource both for African history survey courses and for topical courses on imperialism, colonialism, economic history, and East-West relations.
