NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENTS
German Historians and the Bombing of German Cities
The Contested Air War
By Bas von Benda-Beckmann
 
As one of the major symbols of German suffering, the Allied bombing left a strong imprint on German society. Bas von Benda-Beckmann explores how German historical accounts reflected debates on postwar identity and looks at whether the history of the air war forms a counternarrative against the idea of German collective guilt. Provocative and unflinching, this study offers a valuable contribution to German historiography.

             Look inside!
German Historians and the Bombing of German Cities is part of the series NIOD Studies on War, Holocaust, and Genocide.

Tocqueville, Jansenism, and the Necessity of the Political in a Democratic Age
Building a Republic for the Moderns
By David Selby

This engaging work exploring the influence of Jansenism on Alexis de Tocqueville’s life and works is the most comprehensive treatment of the subject to date. Moving from the historical sociology of Jansenism in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century France to contemporary debates over the right to education, the role of religion in democracy and the nature of political freedom, Selby makes Tocqueville fully relevant to the present.
Tocqueville, Jansenism, and the Necessity of the Political in a Democratic Age is published in the series Intellectual and Political History

People under Power
Early Jewish and Christian Responses to the Roman Empire
Edited by Michael Labahn and Outi Lehtipuu

This volume presents a batch of incisive new essays on the relationship between Roman imperial power and ideology and Christian and Jewish life and thought within the empire. Employing diverse methodologies such as historical, rhetorical, and postcolonial criticism, and social historical studies, the contributors offer fresh perspectives on a question that is crucial for our understanding not only of the late Roman Empire, but also of the growth and change of Christianity and Judaism in the imperial period.

             Look inside!
People under Power is published in the series Early Christianity in the Roman World.
