History Collection Guidelines Guidelines Lc Classes D-Dx I HISTORY COLLECTION GUIDELINES GUIDELINES LC CLASSES D-DX I. Purpose and Program Description A. Library’s Collection Development Objectives The primary purpose of the collection is to support teaching and research studies at the B.A. level in History. The library also seeks to support Master’s level coursework in this area for the MLA. The interdisciplinary nature of fine arts and art history requires that students and faculty consult related collections in the library. B. Curricular Program Description Courses are offered in Asian history, American history, and world history, with particular focuses upon Latin America and Religious history. C. New and Expanding Areas of Interest 1. Religious History 2. Holocaust D. Areas of Specialization 1. African History 2. American History 3. Ancient & Medieval History 4. Chinese History 5. Latin American History 6. Religious History 7. Western Civilization 8. World History E. Overlap with Other Academic Disciplines and Library Collections English, Philosophy, Education (Elementary and Secondary art education), Economics, Sociology, World Languages and Cultures. II. General Selection Guidelines A. Languages: English is the primary language collected. Works in other languages may be acquired selectively and usually in English translation. B. Chronological Coverage: Emphasis is upon current materials, but no period is excluded from consideration for the collection. C. Geographical Coverage: Primary emphasis is upon art history generally, with special focus upon art in the non-western world, as well as graphic design elements from around the world. D. Types of Materials: Includes encyclopedias, handbooks, directories, dictionaries, exhibit guides and catalogs, periodicals, bibliographies, biographies, illustrated works, monographs, and journals. E. Imprint Date: Current-imprint publications receive priority. Selective retrospective publications are purchased in available formats as funding permits. F. Physical Format: Hardback, paperback, serials, audiovisuals and computer software are collected. Electronic format materials are collected selectively. G. Treatment of Subject: Scholarly materials are the primary emphasis for the collection. H. Place of Publication: Primarily the United States. Imprints from other countries will be considered, however, primary emphasis will be placed on English language publications. I. Acquisition Plans Affecting English / English Literature: 1.) Standing Orders: Due to budget reductions in the mid-1990s, all standing orders in all fields were cancelled. 2.) Approval Plans: None. J. Major Assessment / Selection Tools: Books for College Libraries; MLA; Sheehy, Eugene P. Guide to Reference Books; Katz, Bill Magazines for College Libraries; Choice Magazine; Booklist; GOBI New Title Announcement Slips. Assessments are conducted doing a comparison of the library holdings with those of the following peer institutions: Austin Peay State University (TPA), Columbus State University (GCO), Jacksonville State University (AJB), McNeese State University (LHA), University of Houston-Clear Lake, University of Louisiana-Monroe (LNE), University of North Alabama (ANO). K. Weeding / Replacement: A major weeding was conducted in 2011 to remove damaged, superseded, out of date items, and those items which did not reflect the institutional curriculum. Following this, weeding has been kept to a minimum except to replace superseded, updated or damaged items. For damaged items, efforts will be made to replace those materials. Discussions between the library liaison for the area and the department will take place to determine if an electronic copy of the title will be an acceptable replacement. L.

Eric By Berman with Louisa N. Lombard report on the volume, origins, and distribution of small arms in any African state. But it goes beyond the focus on small arms. It also provides a much-needed backdrop to the complicated political convulsions that have transformed CAR into a regional tinderbox. There is no better source for anyone interested in putting the ongoing crisis in its proper context.’ —Dr René Lemarchand Emeritus Professor, University of Florida and author of The Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa ’The Central African Republic, surrounded by warring parties in Sudan, Chad, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, lies on the fault line between the international community’s commitment to disarmament and the tendency for African conflicts to draw in their neighbours. The Central African Republic and Small Arms unlocks the secrets of the breakdown of state capacity in a little-known but pivotal state in the heart of Africa. It also offers important new insight to options for policy-makers and concerned organizations to promote peace in complex situations.’ —Professor William Reno Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Political Science, Northwestern University Photo: A mutineer during the military unrest of May 1996.

Page: The Swiss and the Romanovs The Swiss and the Romanovs by Dwight Page For centuries, the Swiss people and government have sup- ported the cultural, intellectual, and economic objectives of the Rus- sian people and the Russian government. Especially during the Impe- rial Era of Russian history (1682-1917), the assistance provided to the ruling house of Russia by Swiss nationals was indispensable and of vital importance in helping the Russian royal house to achieve its cultural, political, pedagogical, and ecclesiastical goals.1 The Petrine Period (1682-1725) Contacts of some con- sequence between the Swiss and the House of Romanov started as early as the seven- teenth century, when a twenty- year-old Swiss soldier François Lefort came to Moscow in 1675 to serve the Romanov Dynasty, and soon reached a position of prominence. Although Czar 1 The Romanov Dynasty began to rule Russia in 1613 when, shortly after the Time of Troubles, Michael Romanov was accepted as the new Tsar by the boyars in Kostroma, at the Ipatieff Monastery.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early M
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 © Copyright by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia by Sara Victoria Torres Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Christine Chism, Co-chair Professor Lowell Gallagher, Co-chair My dissertation, “Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia,” traces the legacy of dynastic internationalism in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and early-seventeenth centuries. I argue that the situated tactics of courtly literature use genealogical and geographical paradigms to redefine national sovereignty. Before the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, before the divorce trials of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon in the 1530s, a rich and complex network of dynastic, economic, and political alliances existed between medieval England and the Iberian kingdoms. The marriages of John of Gaunt’s two daughters to the Castilian and Portuguese kings created a legacy of Anglo-Iberian cultural exchange ii that is evident in the literature and manuscript culture of both England and Iberia. Because England, Castile, and Portugal all saw the rise of new dynastic lines at the end of the fourteenth century, the subsequent literature produced at their courts is preoccupied with issues of genealogy, just rule, and political consent. Dynastic foundation narratives compensate for the uncertainties of succession by evoking the longue durée of national histories—of Trojan diaspora narratives, of Roman rule, of apostolic foundation—and situating them within universalizing historical modes.

  • Nelson Novoa, James W., Being the Nação in the Eternal City. New Christian Lives in Sixteenth-Century Rome
    Nelson Novoa, James W., Being the Nação in the Eternal City. New Christian Lives in Sixteenth-Century Rome. Portuguese Studies Review Monograph Series, vol. 2. Peterborough: Baywolf Press, 343 pp., 2014. ISBN: 9780921437529. Antonio J. Díaz Rodríguez1 Once again, the study of the world of conversos in early modern Iberia has demonstrated its enormous potential. With this book, Professor James W. Nelson Novoa, currently undertaking research at the University of Ottawa, fills a number of gaps in the historiography. First, because up to now there has been a notable lack of studies centered specifically on the New Christian Portuguese community in sixteenth-century Rome. Secondly, because his analysis goes far beyond questions of ethnicity and religion. All too often, the study of judeoconversos both in and beyond the Iberian Peninsula has relied over-heavily on Inquisition sources. Clearly, this documentation is fundamental, but it still remains only partial. This has meant that attention has been focused on only a small segment of this minority. In some cases, this has happened through convenience, and, in other cases, as a result of a particular—and, I believe, excessively reductionist— historiographical perspective, though I shall not comment further on that here. We might say that we have not been able to see the judeoconversos for the Judaizers. Fortunately, things have moved on in terms of the historiography of this minority population of the Iberian Peninsula. James Nelson’s book constitutes a welcome step forward in the study of Portuguese conversos who chose to live in Rome either temporarily or permanently, in diverse situations, and for varied reasons.
