Time is the backdrop of historical inquiry, yet it is much more
than a featureless setting for events. Different temporalities
interact dynamically; sometimes they coexist tensely, sometimes
they clash violently. In this innovative volume, editors Dan
Edelstein, Stefanos Geroulanos, and Natasha Wheatley bring together
essays that challenge how we interpret history by focusing on the
nexus of two concepts-- "power" and "time"--as they manifest in a
wide variety of case studies. Analyzing history, culture, politics,
technology, law, art, and science, this engaging book shows how
"temporal regimes" are constituted through the shaping of power in
historically specific ways. Power and Time includes seventeen
essays on a wide variety of subjects: human rights; sovereignty;
Islamic, European, and Indian history; slavery; capitalism;
revolution; the Supreme Court; and even the Manson Family. Power
and Time will be an agenda-setting volume, highlighting the work of
some of the world's most respected and innovative contemporary
historians and posing fundamental questions for the craft of
history.
