Women's University Narratives 1890-1945 Part II

The years 1890-1945 saw an unprecedented outpouring of fiction focused on British university life much of it reflecting the drastic change that had swept through the higher education system in the late nineteenth century. Among these narratives a significant subgroup focused on the lives of women students newly admitted to the structures of higher education system their presence still stridently and sometimes even violently opposed especially at Oxbridge. These novels and short stories collected here largely unknown today were widely discussed and debated in the public sphere during the early twentieth century contributing not only to the formation of public knowledge and opinion about education through cultural figures like the ‘Girton Girl’ or the ‘undergraduette ’ but also sparking debate about many wider social and cultural issues from the place of the women writer in the literary scene to the emergence of new discourses around psychology and the body. The majority have not been reprinted since their original publication and until now have been rarely available to scholars. The publication of Women’s University Narratives 1890-1945 therefore provides a major new resource for scholarship in many areas including women’s studies educational history and literary and cultural modernism. | Women's University Narratives 1890-1945 Part II

Routledge Library Editions: Early Western Responses to Soviet Russia

Originally published between 1927 and 1933 the 15 volumes in this set cover the whole ground of the Revolution the early history of Bolshevism and the state of Russia in the late 1920s and early 1930s. They present a broad panorama in which real problems are set against an historical background examining life under Bolshevism discussing the limitations in practice of Bolshevist politics the reality of the Soviet elections of the early 1920s and the growing influence of the Communist Party. Many of the books focus on aspects which the authors feel are of particular significance to Western readers and many such as the volume covering the Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1919 show what many people in Western Europe were unaware of at the time: namely that one of the main prinicples behind the Bolshevist system was brutal force. Some of the volumes cover the Five-Year Plan in relation to industry agriculture labour banking and the budget but legal political and sociological aspects of the country are also covered. Importantly the direction US foreign policy should take in relation to Russia is also discussed – something which clearly has an enduring relevance today some 70 years after these books were first published. | Routledge Library Editions: Early Western Responses to Soviet Russia

Indigenous Peoples and the Law

Despite the fact that the appropriation of land and resources of the so-called New World necessarily involved the dispossession and exploitation (and sometimes genocide) of the original inhabitants of colonized nations it was not until the late twentieth century that Indigenous Peoples attained any meaningful degree of legal recognition in both national and international spheres. Until then Indigenous Peoples (also known as ‘First Nations’ and ‘First Peoples’) were routinely denied any form of juridical identity. Research in and around Indigenous Peoples and the Law is now very wide-ranging and flourishes as never before. But much of the relevant literature remains inaccessible or is highly specialized and compartmentalized so that it is difficult for many of those who are interested in the subject to obtain an informed balanced and comprehensive overview. This new four-volume collection meets the need for an authoritative anthology to make sense of the subject’s vast and dispersed literature and the continuing explosion in research output. Drawing on a wide variety of materials from a broad range of disciplines and theoretical approaches the collection gathers canonical and cutting-edge major works in a ‘one-stop’ resource to enable users to understand how the law Indigenous Peoples encounter has been transformed from an oppressive rights-denying system to a site of contestation and for the articulation of claims. The collection includes a full index and is supplemented by introductions to each volume newly written by the editors which place the gathered materials in their historical and intellectual context. Indigenous Peoples and the Law is an essential reference work which will be valued as a vital resource by students scholars policy-makers and practitioners.
