MacMullen, Ramsay - Changes in the Roman Empire : Essays in the Ordinary

Princeton, Princeton University Press, (1990). orig.cloth, dustwrapper.. 24x15cm, xiv,399 pp.. ISBN: 0691036012. Minor rubbing. VG. ¶ Written by one of the foremost historians of the Roman Empire, this collection of both new and previously published essays forms a colorful picture of daily life in the Mediterranean world between A.D. 50 and 450. Here, for example, the author applies statistical analysis to broad groups of people on matters ranging from justice through medicine to language. In so doing he is able to substantiate general statements about routines in ordinary people's behavior and to detect within these routines the very changes that constitute history. Such analysis also shows how this era benefits from the same historiographical approaches that have so successfully elucidated sociocultural phenomena in other periods.Drawing from statistical analysis and many other historical approaches, these essays on popular mores in the Roman Empire cover such topics as language and art, acculturation, thought and religion, sex and gender, cruelty and slavery, and aspects of class and power relations. The author introduces the collection with several essays on historical method, as it pertains to the richness of documentation and variety to be found in the region and period chosen" - publisher's description.

Hitchcock, Michael (ed.), King, Victor T. (ed.). - Images of Malay-Indonesian Identity.

Kuala Lumpur/ Oxford etc., Oxford University Press, 1997, 1st ed., XVI,(2),282 pag., b/w photogr. illustrations on plates, hardcover with dustjacket. = South-East Asian Social Science Monographs. The term \'Indonesia\' was coined for the Malay Archipelago by Europeans in the 19th century. A hundred years later this name was taken on by the former Dutch East Indies on independence, when the inhabitants of the archipelago had nationhood thrust on them. The contributors to this book chart how the various identities of different parts of the new nation jostled in an attempt to forge a new Indonesian identity where, even though Malays were an overwhelming majority in the country, common characteristics were often far from clear cut. Dustjacket a bit edgeworn.

Browning, Christopher R. - Remembering Survival : Inside a Nazi Slave Labor Camp

Norton & Company, 2010. Hard Cover with dustwrappers. 373 pp. Wrappers very slightly worn at top. Good copy. With 10 photos l A remarkable story of survival for almost three hundred Jews who live to recount the brutalities of a Nazi work camp.In 1972 the Hamburg State Court acquitted Walter Becker, the German chief of police in the Polish city of Starachowice, of war crimes committed against Jews. Thirty years before, Becker had been responsible for liquidating the nearby Jewish ghetto, sending nearly 4,000 Jews to their deaths at Treblinka and 1,600 to slave-labor factories. The shocking acquittal, delivered despite the incriminating eyewitness testimony of survivors, drives this author’s inquiry. Drawing on the rich testimony of survivors of the Starachowice slave-labor camps, Christopher R. Browning examines the experiences and survival strategies of the Jewish prisoners and the policies and personnel of the Nazi guard. From the killings in the market square in 1942 through the succession of brutal camp regimes, there are stories of heroism, of corruption and retribution, of desperate choices forced on husbands and wives, parents and children. In the end, the ties of family and neighbor are the sinews of survival.

MACMULLEN, RAMSAY - Christianity and Paganism in the Fourth to Eighth Centuries

New Haven, Yale University Press, 1999. 282 pp. Handwritten name on halftitle, else clean and fine. Paperback. The slaughter of animals for religious feasts, the tinkling of bells to ward off evil during holy rites, the custom of dancing in religious services-these and many other pagan practices persisted in the Christian church for hundreds of years after Constantine proclaimed Christianity the one official religion of Rome. In this book, Ramsay MacMullen investigates the transition from paganism to Christianity between the fourth and eighth centuries. He reassesses the triumph of Christianity, contending that it was neither tidy nor quick, and he shows that the two religious systems were both vital during an interactive period that lasted far longer than historians have previously believed. MacMullen explores the influences of paganism and Christianity upon each other. In a rich discussion of the different strengths of the two systems, he demonstrates that pagan beliefs were not eclipsed or displaced by Christianity but persisted or were transformed. The victory of the Christian church, he explains, was one not of obliteration but of widening embrace and assimilation. This fascinating book also includes new material on the Christian persecution of pagans over the centuries through methods that ranged from fines to crucifixion; the mixture of motives in conversion; the stubbornness of pagan resistance; the difficulty of satisfying the demands and expectations of new converts; and the degree of assimilation of Christianity to paganism.
