The Other Enlightenment

After Victory
by G. John Ikenberry
The end of the Cold War was a "big bang" reminiscent of earlier moments after major wars, such as the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 and the end of the World Wars in 1919 and 1945. Here John Ikenberry asks the question, what do states that win wars do with their newfound power and how do they use it to build order? In examining the postwar settlements in modern history, he argues that powerful countries do seek to build stable and cooperative relations, but the type of order that emerges hinges on their ability to make commitments and restrain power. The author explains that only with the spread of democracy in the twentieth century and the innovative use of international institutions--both linked to the emergence of the United States as a world power--has order been created that goes beyond balance of power politics to exhibit "constitutional" characteristics. The open character of the American polity and a web of multilateral institutions allow the United States to exercise strategic restraint and establish stable relations among the industrial democracies despite rapid shifts and extreme disparities in power. Blending comparative politics with international relations, and history with theory, AFTER VICTORY will be of interest to anyone concerned with the organization of world order, the role of institutions in world politics, and the lessons of past postwar settlements for today. It also speaks to today's debate over the ability of the United States to lead in an era of unipolar power.

To 'Joy My Freedom
by Tera W. Hunter
This book is a study of the work, family, and community lives of black working-class women in Atlanta and the urban south from 1865-1920. Unlike most of the histories covering this period, Hunter identifies the resistance tactics (striking, quitting, blacklisting) as central to the struggle for freedom.

The Yeats Sisters and The Cuala
LEWIS, Gifford
The Yeats sisters have long been overshadowed by their famous brothers--Jack and William. Nevertheless they themselves made a significant contribution to the cultural life of Ireland through their involvement with the Cuala industries. The 'Cuala', as it was popularly known, was an Irish female craft co-operative on the English Arts and Crafts model, founded and managed by the sisters. Elizabeth ran the printing department with William as editor to the Press, while Lily, who was trained in the Morris workshops, ran the embroidery department. Contrary to appearances, the Yeats sisters were not typical middle-class philanthropists but poor spinsters, thrown onto their own resources, who supported themselves and their family. They funded their self-absorbed and improvident father until his death in New York in 1922. The Yeats children carried through their lives resentments from their painful childhood; the two sisters were incompatible; W. B. 's opinion of his sisters was rather blinkered and patronising. The lives of Elizabeth and Lily deserve separate notice freed from his great shadow and from his disparagement. A very good copy in a very good dustjacket. Dublin: Irish Academic Press, 1994. xiv, 199 pages. Plates. Hardback. . ISBN: 0716525259. ( more information) Offered by Books Ulster (United Kingdom)
