The City-State of Boston A groundbreaking history of early America that shows how Boston built and sustained an indepen- dent city-state in New England before being folded into the United States In the vaunted annals of America’s founding, Boston has long been held up as a “city upon a hill” and the “cradle of liberty” for an independent United States. Wresting this iconic urban center from these mislead- ing clichés, e City-State of Boston highlights Boston’s overlooked past and o ers a pathbreaking new history of early America. Mark Peterson shows how this self-governing Atlantic trading center began as a refuge from Britain’s Stuart monarchs and how—through its bargain with slavery and rati cation of the Con- stitution—it would lose integrity and autonomy as it became incorporated into the greater United States. Peterson explores Boston’s origins in sixteenth-century utopian ideals, its founding and expansion into the hinterland of New England, and the growth of its distinctive political economy, with ties to the West “Mark Peterson’s story of the rise and fall of the Indies and southern Europe.

“A gem of a book. . . . [C]hallenges a ra of assumptions and brims with insight and provocation. Rodgers has always written intellectual history at its very best: learned, searching, and vital.” —Jill Lepore, author of ese Truths: A History of the United States

As a City on a Hill “For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill,” John Winthrop warned at New England’s founding in 1630. More than three centuries later, Ronald Reagan remade the passage into a timeless celebration of American promise. How were these words reinvented as a central statement of American identity and exceptionalism? Daniel Rodgers brings to life the ideas Winthrop’s text carried in its own time and the sharply di erent yearnings that have been attributed to it since. DANIEL T.

“Specht’s wonderful and impressive research covers an enormous territory. Red Meat Republic will reshape historians’ approach to this important topic.” —John Mack Faragher, author of Eternity Street: Violence and Justice in Frontier Los Angeles

Red Meat Republic By the late nineteenth century, Americans rich and poor had come to expect high-quality fresh beef with almost every meal. Beef production in the United States had gone from small-scale, localized operations to a highly centralized industry spanning the country, with cattle bred on ranches in the rural West, slaugh- tered in Chicago, and consumed in the nation’s rapidly growing cities. Red Meat Republic tells the remarkable story of the violent con ict over who would reap the bene ts of this new industry and who would bear its heavy costs.

“[A] short but devastating historiographical counter- blast. . . . [A]n important, proportionate, by turns angry and moving corrective.” —Robert Gordon, Times Literary Supplement

The Italian Executioners In this gripping revisionist history of Italy’s role in the Holocaust, Simon Levis Sullam presents an unforgettable account of how ordinary Italians actively participated in the deportation of Italy’s Jews between 1943 and 1945, when Mussolini’s collaborationist republic was under German occupation. Levis Sullam dismantles the seductive popular myth of italiani brava gente—the “good Italians” who sheltered their Jewish compatriots from harm.  e result is an essential correction to a widespread misconception of the Holocaust in Italy. In collaboration with the Nazis, and with di erent degrees and forms of involvement, the Italians were guilty of genocide.

“A remarkable, erudite, and stylish book on an import- ant and timely subject: the persistent tendency toward irrationalism in human history.”—Kieran Setiya, author of Midlife: A Philosophical Guide

Irrationality It’s a story we can’t stop telling ourselves. Once, hu- mans were benighted by superstition and irrationality, but then the Greeks invented reason. Discovering that reason is the de ning feature of our species, we named ourselves the “rational animal.” But is this  attering story itself rational? In this sweeping account of irrationality from antiquity to today—from the   h - c e n t u r y  murder of Hippasus for revealing the existence of irrational numbers to the rise of Twitter mobs and the election of Donald Trump—Justin Smith says the evidence suggests the opposite. Illumi- nating unreason at a moment when the world appears to have gone mad again, Irrationality is fascinating, provocative, and timely. JUSTIN E. H.

“No Shadow of a Doubt is beautifully and engagingly written and draws on intimate knowledge about every aspect of this grand event.”—Dennis Lehmkuhl, California Institute of Technology

No Shadow of a Doubt In 1919, British scientists led expeditions to Brazil and Africa to test Albert Einstein’s new theory of general relativity in what became the century’s most celebrated scienti c experiment. Today, Einstein’s theory is scienti c fact. Yet the e ort to test it during a solar eclipse on May 29, 1919, has become clouded by myth and skepticism. Could Arthur Eddington and Frank Dyson have gotten the results they claimed?

“Will help historians understand the complex social and ethnic battles of the past two centuries. An amaz- ing book by an original and brilliant historian.” —Antonio Feros, University of Pennsylvania

The Imperial Nation Historians view the late eighteenth and early nine- teenth centuries as a turning point when imperial monarchies collapsed and modern nations emerged. Treating this pivotal moment as a bridge rather than a break, Josep Fradera examines Great Britain, France, Spain, and the United States and asks how the history of monarchical empires shaped these new nations. Fradera pays particular attention to the relations be- tween imperial centers and their sovereign territories and the constant and changing distinctions placed between citizens and subjects. JOSEP M.

Empires of the Weak What accounts for the rise of the state, the creation of the  rst global system, and the dominance of the West?  e conventional answer is that superior technology, tactics, and institutions forged by Darwinian military competition gave Europeans a decisive advantage in war. In contrast, Empires of the Weak argues that Europeans actually had no general military superiority in the early modern era. J. C.

Citizenship, Inequality, and Difference  is book o ers a concise and sweeping overview of citizenship’s complex evolution, from ancient Rome to the present. Political leaders and thinkers still debate, as they did in Republican Rome, whether the presumed equivalence of citizens is compatible with cultural diversity and economic inequality.

Race Is about Politics Racial divisions have returned to the forefront of politics in the United States and European societies, making it more important than ever to understand race and racism. But do we? In this provocative book, acclaimed historian Jean-Frédéric Schaub shows that we don’t—and that we need to rethink the widespread assumption that racism is essentially a modern form of discrimination based on skin color and other visible di erences. Built around notions of identity and otherness, race is above all a political tool that must be understood in the context of its historical origins.

It explores how the moral urgency of the Vietnam War galvanized American artists in unprecedented ways, challenging them to reimagine the purpose and uses of art and compelling them to become politically engaged on other fronts, such as feminism and civil rights.  e book presents an era in which artists strug- gled to synthesize the turbulent times and participated in a process of free and open questioning inherent to American civic life.

25 HISTORY OF SCIENCE

“A very signi cant contribution to the history of the human sciences, statistics, and eugenics.” —Sta an Müller-Wille, coauthor of A Cultural History of Heredity

Genetics in the Madhouse In the early 1800s, a century before there was any con- cept of the gene, physicians in insane asylums began to record causes of madness in their admission books. Almost from the beginning, they pointed to heredity as the most important of these causes. As doctors and state o cials steadily lost faith in the capacity of asy- lum care to stem the terrible increase of insanity, they began emphasizing the need to curb the reproduction of the insane. Genetics in the Madhouse is the untold story of how the collection and sorting of hereditary data in mental hospitals, schools for “feebleminded” children, and prisons gave rise to a new science of human heredity.
