The First World War was an epic event of huge proportions that
lasted over four years and involved the armies of more than twenty
nations, resulting in 30 million casualties, including more than 8
million killed. Set against the backdrop of this massive carnage,
The Search for Negotiated Peace is the gripping story of the events
that moved high profile American and European citizens,
particularly women, into the international peace movement. This
small, transatlantic network put forth proposals for changing the
international system of negotiation. They supported
non-annexationist war aims and attempted to discredit nations'
secret diplomacy, militarism and narrowly nationalistic practices.
Instead, they wanted to develop a 'new diplomacy.' David Patterson
skillfully develops the interactions of many of the notable leaders
of the movement, including Jane Addams, Aletta Jacobs, and Rosika
Schwimmer, into an absorbing narrative that brings together the
various strands of women's history, international diplomatic
history, and peace history for the first time. The Search for
Negotiated Peace is an essential read for anyone interested in the
social history of World War I and the foundations of citizen
activism today.
Deciphering the New Antisemitism addresses the increasing
prevalence of antisemitism on a global scale. Antisemitism takes on
various forms in all parts of the world, and the essays in this
wide-ranging volume deal with many of them: European antisemitism,
antisemitism and Islamophobia, antisemitism and anti-Zionism, and
efforts to demonize and delegitimize Israel. Contributors are an
international group of scholars who clarify the cultural,
intellectual, political, and religious conditions that give rise to
antisemitic words and deeds. These landmark essays are noteworthy
for their timeliness and ability to grapple effectively with the
serious issues at hand.
