Who are you going to believe, the 66 RELIGION dictator asks, me or your lying eyes? With the rising tides of nationalism, populism, and, yes, fascism, this is an unfortunately 68 SCIENCE necessary book. 69 BACKLIST HIGHLIGHTS 73 SALES INFO Of course, climate change and its effects make headlines nearly 75 INDEX OF AUTHORS AND every day.

McCoy Popular culture is rife with movies, books, and television shows that address our collective curiosity about what the world was like long ago. From historical dramas to science fiction tales of time travel, audiences love stories that reimagine the world before our time. But what if there were a field that, through the advancements in technology, could bring us closer to the past than ever before? Written by a preeminent expert in geospatial archaeology, Maps for Time Travelers is a guide to how technology is revolutionizing the way archaeologists study and reconstruct humanity’s distant past. From satellite imagery to 3D modeling, today archaeologists are answering questions about human history that previously could only be imagined. As archaeologists create a better and more complete picture of the past, they sometimes find that truth is stranger than fiction. “An eye-opening and engaging look at the science and technology of modern archaeology.” —Ryan North, author of How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler “It is hard to imagine a more compelling use of geospatial technology than in revealing the human past, and in making it possible to see the world as it used to be. This book tells the story of maps in archaeology in a fresh, inspiring, and lively way, helping to make a complex technology understandable to the general reader.” —Michael Frank Goodchild, Emeritus Professor of Geography, University of California, Santa Barbara A guide to how technology is revolutionizing the way archaeologists “McCoy is a splendid guide to archaeology’s use of geospatial technologies to discover and interpret the past. He is curious, knowledgeable, approachable, and study and reconstruct humanity’s engaging. This book is an excellent introduction to an important subject.

Throughout the twentieth century, many supporters of fascist ideologies regarded political lies as truth incarnated in their leader. From Hitler to Mussolini, fascist leaders capitalized on lies as the basis of their power and popular sovereignty. This history continues to the present, when lies again seem to be replacing empirical truth. Now that actual news is presented as “fake news” and false news becomes government policy, A Brief History of Fascist Lies urges us to remember that the current talk of “post-truth” has a long political and intellectual lineage that we cannot ignore. “There is no better book on fascism’s complex and vexed relationship with truth.” —Jason Stanley, author of How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them Praise for Federico Finchelstein’s previous book, From Fascism to Populism in History “But is Trump fascist? A proto-fascist? Fascist-curious? In his thoughtful new book . Federico Finchelstein concedes that Trump’s campaign ‘had clear fascist and racist undertones,’ and he cites the ‘fascist pedigree’ of Trump’s ‘America first’ slogan.” A very short introduction to fascist lies —Washington Post from Mussolini to Donald Trump. “A timely and commendable analysis.” —The Quarterly Review MAY History/World 138 pp. 5 1/2 x 8 1/4 Federico Finchelstein is Professor of History at the New School for Social Research WORLD and Eugene Lang College in New York City.

Since I started researching fascism, some two decades ago, I have been intrigued about how and why fascists lied so much. I have presented on this topic, especially in Italy, the place where fascism was born, as well as in the United States. And now that lies are back in power on a global scale, I thought it was especially important to write a book on this. What do you want your readers to understand about the history of fascist lies? I want readers to explore the ways in which past and present are connected in terms of the history of fascists lying. In the past, racist lies led to extreme political violence. This is now more than ever a key lesson of the history of fascism. If we want to understand our troublesome present, we need to pay attention to the history of fascist ideologues and to how and why their rhetoric led to the Holocaust, war, and destruction. We need history to remind us how so much violence and racism happened in such a short period. How did the Nazis and other fascists come to power and murder millions of people? They did so by spreading ideological lies. Fascist political power was greatly derived from the cooptation of truth and the immense promulgation of lies. But how does this relate to the present? Today we’re seeing an emergent wave of new right-wing populist leaders throughout the world. And much like fascist leaders of the past, they derive a great deal of their political power from questioning reality, endorsing myth, encouraging rage and paranoia, and promoting lies. Some people are describing this moment as “post-truth” and President Trump frequently accuses the media of lying, despite his own penchant for making false statements.

  • Landscaping Hispaniola Moreau De Saint-Méry's
    New West Indian Guide Vol. 85, no. 3-4 (2011), pp. 169-190 URL: http://www.kitlv-journals.nl/index.php/nwig/index URN:NBN:NL:UI:10-1-101703 Copyright: content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License ISSN: 0028-9930 MARIA CRISTINA FUMAGALLI LANDSCAPING HISPANIOLA MOREAU DE SAINT-MÉRY’S BORDER POLITICS A few days after the Haitian earthquake of January 12, 2010, Sonia Marmolejos, a young Dominican woman who was in the Darío Contreras Hospital of Santo Domingo with her newborn daughter, decided to breastfeed three Haitian children who had been admitted there after the disaster. They were wounded, hungry, and dehydrated, so Sonia Marmolejos acted on impulse and she did not expect to receive any special recognition for her generous gesture. The government of the Dominican Republic capitalized on this story, defined Sonia Marmolejos as a heroine, and used her actions as a metaphor to illustrate the charitable response of the country toward neighboring Haiti. Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the island of Hispaniola and a history of colonialism which, however, has conjugated itself in very differ- ent ways. Officially under Spanish rule since 1493, the island was mostly left unpopulated for three-quarters of a century. In 1625 the French started to occupy parts of it (mainly in the north) and until the official recognition of the French colony of Saint-Domingue in 1777, they constantly pushed for- ward their unofficial borders, while the Spanish carried out punitive raids to eradicate the French presence. On the Spanish side, the economy was mainly livestock-based but the French developed an impressive network of planta- tions which relied on the constant import of enslaved labor from Africa.

  • Embodying Disobedience, Crafting Affinities
    Southeastern Women’s Studies Association Conference Embodying Disobedience, Crafting Affi nities March 26-28, 2020 Department of Women’s & Gender Studies University of South Florida Welcome to SEWSA 2020! Welcome to SEWSA 2020: “Embodying Disobedience, Crafting Affi nities,” organized and hosted by the Department of Women’s & Gender Studies of the University of South Florida Tampa campus, and held on the beautiful, waterfront USF St. Petersburg campus. With over 230 presenters, more than 300 attendees, and a long list of exhibitors and supporters, this year’s conference is one of the biggest ever. We believe this increase in size and interest is indicative of the value that the fi elds of women’s studies, gender studies, race studies, LGBTQ+ and queer studies, and all the other fi elds of inquiry and activism represented at SEWSA 2020 hold in the national, regional, and transnational landscapes in these historic moments -- and our conference theme refl ects this. With the theme “Embodying Disobedience, Crafting Affi nities” we wish to approach embodiment and diverse lived experiences as the lifeblood of resistant politics and the livelihood of building alliances across our many differences. As 2020 marks the 59th quadrennial presidential election, the centennial of the 19th Amendment, and the fi ftieth anniversary of the fi rst women’s studies program, we want to remember the ways in which women’s studies has linked theory to practice, not only to transform the present but also to know the past differently and to imagine and create a world beyond it. We are especially delighted to welcome two amazing speakers: Loretta Ross will speak on Calling in for Reproductive Justice, discussing the future of the reproductive justice movement, and how to use calling-in strategies to strengthen our activism and scholarship.

CABÁN ABSTRACT Over the last three decades Latino studies scholarship has gained increased academic acceptance. However, many administrators continue to doubt the wisdom of sustaining autonomous Latino studies departments, and are devising alternative approaches for incorporating Latino-based knowledge into the university’s mission. This article discusses the academy’s response to the emergence of Latino studies and explores a range of consequences for the field of two institu- tional arrangements that universities appear to privilege: the horizontal fusion with Latin American Studies, and a vertical absorp- tion into centers for the study of race and ethnic or absorption into American studies.
