Developing Industrial and Mining Heritage Sites offers a
multifaceted examination of the challenges and opportunities in the
development of industrial & mining heritage. It does so through
the case study of Lavrion, Turkey, by examining the historical
process of this former mining site which has turned intoa site of

monuments which could be considered the industrial & mining
heritage of Lavrion, the restoration, and rehabilitation of the
mine buildings, and describes the activities succeeded through the
management of a university and through the provided finance on an
abandoned mining site. The book also highlights the challenges
experienced from the restoration of an abandoned mine site until it
turned into an industrial & mining heritage. This book will be
of interest to researchers in the fields of industrial heritage
& tourism, urban conservation, mining history, post mining,
archaeology, archaeometallurgy, geology and mineralogy, as well as
policy makers and industry professionals.
A revealing look at U.S. imperialism through the lens of visual
culture and portraiture In 1898, the United States seized
territories overseas, ushering in an era of expansion that was at
odds with the nation’s founding promise of freedom and democracy
for all. This book draws on portraiture and visual culture to
provide fresh perspectives on this crucial yet underappreciated
period in history. Taína Caragol and Kate Clarke Lemay tell the
story of 1898 by bringing together portraits of U.S. figures who
favored overseas expansion, such as William McKinley and Theodore
Roosevelt, with those of leading figures who resisted colonization,
including Eugenio María de Hostos of Puerto Rico; José Martí of
Cuba; Felipe Agoncillo of the Philippines; Padre Jose Bernardo
Palomo of Guam; and Queen Lili‘uokalani of Hawai‘i. Throughout
the book, Caragol and Lemay also look at landscapes, naval scenes,
and ephemera. They consider works of art by important period
artists Winslow Homer and Armando Menocal as well as contemporary
artists such as Maia Cruz Palileo, Stephanie Syjuco, and Miguel
Luciano. Paul A. Kramer’s essay addresses the role of the
Smithsonian Institution in supporting imperialism, and texts by
Jorge Duany, Theodore S. Gonzalves, Kristin L. Hoganson, Healoha
Johnston, and Neil Weare offer critical perspectives by experts
with close personal or scholarly relations to the island regions.
Beautifully illustrated, 1898: Visual Culture and U.S. Imperialism
in the Caribbean and the Pacific challenges us to reconsider the
Spanish-American War, the Philippine-American War, and the
annexation of Hawai‘i while shedding needed light on the lasting
impacts of U.S. imperialism. Published in association with the

Since it achieved independence in 1957, the West African state of
Ghana has become the torchbearer of African liberation, as well as
a laboratory for the study of endemic problems facing the African
continent. In terms of democratic consolidation, the country holds
a unique position on the continent as beacon of stability and
democracy. Politics, Governance, and Development in Ghana takes
critical stock of the landmark themes that have dominated its
history since independence. The contributors address issues such as
citizenship, civil society, the military, politicians, chiefs,
transnational actors, the public sector and policies, the executive
branch, decentralization, the economy, electoral politics, natural
resources, and relations with Asia and the diaspora. These themes
support “mobilizing for Ghana’s future,” which is the theme
for the diamond jubilee celebration of Ghana’s independence.
Edited by Joseph R.A. Ayee, this book will deepen the literature on
studies on Ghana especially in the areas of politics, governance,
economy and development; serve as a resource for academics,
students, practitioners; and commemorate the diamond jubilee
celebration of Ghana’s independence.

Hiding the Guillotine examines the question of state involvement in
violence by tracing the evolution of public executions in France.
Why did the state move executions from the bloody and public stage
of the guillotine to behind prison doors? In a fascinating
exploration of a grim subject, Emmanuel Taïeb exposes the rituals
and theatrical form of the death penalty and tells us who watched,
who participated in, and who criticized (and ultimately brought an
end to) a spectacle that the state called "punishment." France's
abolition of the death penalty in 1981 has long overshadowed its
suppression of public executions over forty years earlier. Since
the Revolution, executions attracted tens of thousands of curious
onlookers. But, gradually, there was a shift in attitude and the
public no longer saw this as a civilized pastime. Why? Combining
material from legal archives, police files, an executioner's
notebooks, newspaper clippings, and documents relating to 566
executions, Hiding the Guillotine answers this question. Taïeb
demonstrates the ways in which the media was at the vanguard of
putting an end to the publicity surrounding the death penalty. The
press had ample reason to be critical: cities were increasingly
being used for leisure activity and prisons for those accused of
criminal activity. The agitation surrounding each execution,
coupled with a growing identification with the condemned, would
blur these boundaries. Ranked among the top hundred history books
by the website, Café du Web Historizo, Hiding the Guillotine has
much to impart to students of legal history, human rights, and
criminology, as well as to American historians.
