  • Summary

    In the novel Zameen (Land), the Pakistani writer Khadija Mastur tells the story of Sajida, a young woman who has fled to Pakistan around the time of Partition with her ailing father. The fate of her mother is unclear, however, floating in silence above the disordered surface of life in one of Pakistan's refugee camps. The transit camp in Zameen is an inherently unstable space. For Sajida, its offer of refuge is closely hewn to the trauma of what has just been witnessed and the unceasing anticipation of an uncertain future.

    One day, Sajida learns that her father has died, leaving her to face the future alone. A young man who is unrelated but close in age approaches her and entreats her: “Baji (sister) come with me. I’ve got a mother. We have a small house and I have no sister. I’ll help you, I’ll….” At this point the man is cut off by the matron of the camp gulley, whose interjecting presence reminds us that the very possibility of such an open encounter between a man and woman is itself a sign of crisis and loss. “Eh Boy! Use your head (aql) when you speak. If a young girl will leave with you, what will the world (duniya) say to that?” One cannot help but feel that the matron is sensing an opportunity for herself. We feel Sajida's world getting darker. The boy responds, “Aunty, this is not the world. This is Pakistan and this is my baji, baji!” (Mastur 1983: 1–10, emphasis mine).

    To state that Pakistan is “not the world” and that “you are my sister” is to call emancipated nationality into being in the encounter with catastrophe, through and against which both assume a certain kind of transcendent force. Such immanent or “minor” enactments of Pakistani nationalism are shot through with the force of radical immanence, yielding a structure of feeling that locates national freedom in the subjective imperative to respond and survive. Countering the “world-destroying” effects of Partition (V. Das 2006), embodied in the skepticism of the camp matron, the young man's reply to her takes the form of a series of indexical statements: “this is not the world” … “this is Pakistan” … “she is my sister.”

  • This is the first systematic collection of the remains of the lost Greek chronicles from the period AD 350–650 and provides an edition and translation of and commentary on the fragments. Introducing neglected authors and proposing new interpretations, it reveals the diversity of the genre and revises traditional views about its development, nuancing in particular the role usually attributed to Eusebius of Caesarea. It shows how the writing of chronicles was deeply entangled in controversies about exegesis and liturgy, especially the dates of Christmas and Easter. Drawing from Latin, Armenian, Syriac and Arabic sources besides Greek ones, the book also studies how chronographic material travelled across linguistic and cultural boundaries. In this way, it sheds a profoundly new light on historiography in transition from Antiquity to the Middle Ages.

  • The practice of surgery has been revolutionized since the introduction of video-assisted endoscopy. Minimally invasive procedures are now available for almost all severe gynecologic diseases and conditions and innovations such as the use of video-assisted and robotic-assisted hysteroscopy and vaginoscopy make this one of the most dynamic and technically demanding specialties. The new edition of this authoritative textbook covers the full spectrum of laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures used in gynecologic surgery. Containing descriptions of new techniques such as fetoscopic surgery and practical advice on how to set up the operating theater, the avoidance and management of complications will be stressed throughout. Over 700 high-quality images and accompanying videos are included in the book, illustrating the concepts covered and helping readers incorporate information.

Race and the Law in the United States
  • A Contemporary Perspective
  • Michelle D. Deardorff
  • Coming soon

  • This text explores how the legal history and judicial decisions of the United States contribute to the dynamic societal debates Americans are having around race today. It pairs historical cases and primary sources with contextual commentary, to ensure students comprehend how decisions from the past deeply impact the laws they have inherited as well as shaping contemporary issues and political movements. This framework also highlights the distinctive characteristics of the various time periods, and how they connect to other eras, so students fully appreciate the events and environments that influenced each case. Written in an accessible and engaging style, it avoids the traditional focus of many caselaw books and instead promotes a sound understanding of the legal concepts and dynamics that inform current discussions of racial identities, challenging the usual development of doctrinal law and court decisions defining race. An Instructor Manual is available online, with additional teaching resources and assessment materials for each chapter, to foster meaningful class discussions about future choices and how to pursue a more equal nation.

Ways of Seeing International Organisations
  • New Perspectives for International Institutional Law

  • For decades, the field of scholarship that studies the law and practice of international organisations -also known as 'international institutional law'- has been marked by an intellectual quietism. Most of the scholarship tends to focus narrowly on providing 'legal' answers to 'legal' questions. For that reason, perspectives rarely engage with the insights of critical traditions of legal thought (for instance, feminist, postcolonial, or political economy-oriented perspectives) or with interdisciplinary contributions produced outside the field. Ways of Seeing International Organisations challenges the narrow gaze of the field by bringing together authors across multiple disciplines to reflect on the need for 'new' perspectives in international institutional law. Highlighting the limits of mainstream approaches, the authors instead interrogate international organisations as pivots in processes of world-making. To achieve this, the volume is organised around four fundamental themes: expertise; structure; performance; and capital. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Nietzsche on the Methods and Aims of Philosophy
  • The Seal of Liberation
  • Allison Merrick

  • We are, says Nietzsche, often unknown to ourselves. Most recent studies of Nietzsche's works focus on our reactions to conditions of self-estrangement, particularly nihilistic despair or decadence. Allison Merrick takes a different approach, focusing on what she argues is Nietzsche's greatest contribution to philosophical thought, the method of genealogy. Commonly interpreted as vindicatory, subversive, and problematising, Merrick argues that Nietzsche's genealogical method possess a liberatory potential. Nietzsche's analysis reveals how our motivations and our feelings, our reflective thoughts and our judgments, are shaped by evaluative 'templates' of which we are often unaware and how these templates can be revealed, articulated, and overcome. By uncovering and challenging these hidden frameworks, Nietzsche's genealogical approach aims to render us less obscure to ourselves, to liberate us from value systems that no longer serve our interests, and to demonstrate how we might become less prone to guilt and shame.

  • China's war against Japan was, at its heart, a struggle for food. As the Nationalists, Chinese Communist Party, and Japanese vied for a dwindling pool of sustenance, grain emerged as the lynchpin of their strategies for a long-term war effort. In the first in-depth examination of how the Nationalists fed their armies, Jennifer Yip demonstrates how the Chinese government relied on mass civilian mobilization to carry out all stages of provisioning, from procurement to transportation and storage. The intensive use of civilian labor and assets–a distinctly preindustrial resource base– shaped China's own conception of its total war effort, and distinguished China's experience as unique mong World War Two combatants. Yip challenges the predominant image of World War II as one of technological prowess, and the tendency to conflate total war with industrialized warfare. Ultimately, China sustained total war against the odds with premodern means: by ruthlessly extracting civilian resources.
