A groundbreaking history of racismRacisms is the first comprehensive history of racism from the Crusades to the twentieth century Demonstrating that there is not one continuous tradition of racism Francisco Bethencourt shows that racism preceded any theories of race and must be viewed within the prism and context of social hierarchies and local conditions In this richly illustrated book Bethencourt argues that in its various aspects all racism has been triggered by political projects monopolizing specific economic and social resourcesRacisms focuses on the Western world but opens comparative views on ethnic discrimination and segregation in Asia and Africa Bethencourt looks at different forms of racism and explores instances of enslavement forced migration and ethnic cleansing while analyzing how practices of discrimination and segregation were defendedThis is a major interdisciplinary work that moves away from ideas of linear or innate racism and recasts our understanding of interethnic relations.

But in the twentieth century a rapid acceleration took place: a new machine music came into existence, electronic musical instruments appeared, and composers sometimes seemed more like sound technicians than musicians. In this book Hans-Joachim Braun and his co-authors offer a wide-ranging and fascinating look at the relationship of technology and modern music. Topics range from the role of Yamaha in Japan\'s musical development to the social construction of the synthesizer from the player piano as precursor of computer music to the musical role of airplanes and locomotives from the growth of one independent recording studio (from Polka to Punk) to the origins of the 45–RPM record. Other chapters consider violin vibrato and the phonograph, Jimi Hendrix, and the aesthetic challenge of soundsampling. The book concludes with a look at the current situation, and perspectives for its future in electronic music.Contributors: Barbara Barthelmes, Karin Bijsterveld, Hans-Joachim Braun, Martha Brech, Hugh Davies, Bernd Enders, Geoffrey Hindley, Jüergen Hocker, Mark Katz, Tatsuya Kobayashi, James P.

With its wealth of little-known historical data, this book chronicles the classic pattern of gold and silver rushes and emphasizes the differences between Nevada\'s two mining boom periods--the Comstock Lode of the 19th century and the latter-day boom period of the 20th century. The history of the twentieth century is most often told through its world wars, the rise and fall of communism, or its economic upheavals. In his startling new book, J. R. McNeill gives us our first general account of what may prove to be the most significant dimension of the twentieth century: its environmental history. To a degree unprecedented in human history, we have refashioned the earth\'s air, water, and soil, and the biosphere of which we are a part. Based on exhaustive research, McNeill\'s story—a compelling blend of anecdotes, data, and shrewd analysis—never preaches: it is our definitive account.
