The Cambridge Companion to Gandhi
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2011
Even today, six decades after his assassination in January 1948, Mahatma Gandhi is still revered as the father of the Indian nation. His intellectual and moral legacy, and the example of his life and politics, serve as an inspiration to human rights and peace movements, political activists and students. This book, comprised of essays by renowned experts in the fields of Indian history and philosophy, traces Gandhi's extraordinary story. The first part of the book explores his transformation from a small-town lawyer during his early life in South Africa into a skilled political activist and leader of civil resistance in India. The second part is devoted to Gandhi's key writings and his thinking on a broad range of topics, including religion, conflict, politics and social relations. The final part reflects on Gandhi's image and on his legacy in India, the West, and beyond. (Da sito Cambridge University Press)

The Oxford Handbook of Genocide Studies
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2010
Genocide has scarred human societies since Antiquity. In the modern era, genocide has been a global phenomenon: from massacres in colonial America, Africa, and Australia to the Holocaust of European Jewry and mass death in Maoist China. In recent years, the discipline of 'genocide studies' has developed to offer analysis and comprehension.
The Oxford Handbook of Genocide Studies is the first book to subject both genocide and the young discipline it has spawned to systematic, in-depth investigation. Thirty-four renowned experts study genocide through the ages by taking regional, thematic, and disciplinary-specific approaches. Chapters examine secessionist and political genocides in modern Asia. Others treat the violent dynamics of European colonialism in Africa, the complex ethnic geography of the Great Lakes region, and the structural instability of the continent's northern horn. South and North America receive detailed coverage, as do the Ottoman Empire, Nazi-occupied Europe, and post-communist Eastern Europe. Sustained attention is paid to themes like gender, memory, the state, culture, ethnic cleansing, military intervention, the United Nations, and prosecutions.
The work is multi-disciplinary, featuring the work of historians, anthropologists, lawyers, political scientists, sociologists, and philosophers.
Uniquely combining empirical reconstruction and conceptual analysis, this Handbook presents and analyses regions of genocide and the entire field of 'genocide studies' in one substantial volume.

The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Studies
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013
The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Studies provides a comprehensive overview of the latest scholarship in postcolonial studies, while also considering possible future developments in the field. Original chapters written by a worldwide team of contritbuors are organised into five cross-referenced sections, 'The Imperial Past', 'The Colonial Present', 'Theory and Practice', 'Across the Disciplines', and 'Across the World'. The chapters offer both country-specific and comparative approaches to current issues, offering a wide range of new and interesting perspectives. The Handbook reflects the increasingly multidisciplinary nature of postcolonial studies and reiterates its continuing relevance to the study of both the colonial past—in its multiple manifestations— and the contemporary globalized world. Taken together, these essays, the dialogues they pursue, and the editorial comments that surround them constitute nothing less than a blueprint for the future of a much-contested but intellectually vibrant and politically engaged field.

The Oxford Handbook of Slavery in the Americas
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2010
The Oxford Handbook of Slavery in the Americas offers penetrating, original, and authoritative essays on the history and historiography of the institution of slavery in the New World. With essays on colonial and antebellum America, Brazil, the Caribbean, the Indies, and South America, the Handbook has impressive geographic and temporal coverage. It also includes a generous range of thematic essays on comparative slavery, the economics of slavery, historical methodology in the field, slavery and the law, for instance.
While obviously indebted to the foundational works of the 1960s and 1970s, current writing on the history of slavery and forms of unfree labor in the Americas has taken decidedly original, new, often ingenious turns. A younger generation of scholars has shown a healthy respect for that tradition while posing new, often interdisciplinary, and theoretically informed questions, considering, for example, the nature and definition of slave resistance in the Americas, evolving meanings of gender and race under slavery, the complicated nature of class formation in unfree societies, the elaboration of proslavery and antislavery ideologies, the origins and subsequent elaboration of race-based slavery, and mechanisms of emancipation.
Written by an international team including some of the field's most eminent historians and the most innovative younger scholars working today, The Oxford Handbook of Slavery in the Americas seeks to explain the enduring importance of the earlier historiography, identify current trends and developments, and offer suggestive but informed commentary on future developments in the field for a global scholarly audience.

The Oxford Handbook of the American Revolution
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2013
The Oxford Handbook of the American Revolution introduces scholars, students and generally interested readers to the formative event in American history. In thirty-three individual essays, by thirty-three authorities on the Revolution, the Handbook provides readers with in-depth analysis of the Revolution's many sides, ranging from the military and diplomatic to the social and political; from the economic and financial, to the cultural and legal. Its cast of characters ranges far, including ordinary farmers and artisans, men and women, free and enslaved African Americans, Indians, and British and American statesmen and military leaders. Its geographic scope is equally broad. The Handbook offers readers an American Revolution whose geo-political and military impact ranged from the West Indies to the Mississippi Valley; from the British Isles to New England and from Nova Scotia to Florida. The American Revolution of the Handbook is, simply put, an event that far transcended the boundaries of what was to become the United States.
In addition to a breadth of subject matter, the Handbook offers a broad range of interpretive and methodological approaches. Its authors include social historians, historians of politics and institutions, cultural historians, historians of diplomacy, imperial historians, ethnohistorians, and historians of gender and sexuality. Instead of privileging a single or even several interpretive perspectives, the Handbook attempts to capture the full scope of current revolutionary-era scholarship. Nothing comparable has been published in decades.

The Oxford Handbook of the Atlantic World : 1450-1850
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2011
The essays in this volume provide a comprehensive overview of Atlantic history from c.1450 to c.1850, offering a wide-ranging and authoritative account of the movement of people, plants, pathogens, products, and cultural practices-to mention some of the key agents—around and within the Atlantic basin. As a result of these movements, new peoples, economies, societies, polities, and cultures arose in the lands and islands touched by the Atlantic Ocean, while others were destroyed.
The team of scholars in this volume seek to describe, explain, and, occasionally, challenge conventional wisdom concerning these path-breaking developments. They demonstrate connections, explore contrasts, and probe themes. During the four centuries encompassed by this collection, pan-Atlantic webs of association emerged that progressively linked people, objects, and beliefs across and within the region. Events in one corner of the Atlantic world had effects, reverberations thousands of miles away. The great virtue of thinking in Atlantic terms is that it encourages broad perspectives, unexpected comparisons, trans-national orientations, and expanded horizons; the parochialism that characterizes so much history writing and instruction today, as in the past, has a chance of being overcome.

The Oxford Handbook of the Cold War
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2013
The Oxford Handbook of the Cold War offers a broad reassessment of the period war based on new conceptual frameworks developed in the field of international history. Nearing the 25th anniversary of its end, the cold war now emerges as a distinct period in twentieth-century history, yet one which should be evaluated within the broader context of global political, economic, social, and cultural developments.
The editors have brought together leading scholars in cold war history to offer a new assessment of the state of the field and identify fundamental questions for future research. The individual chapters in this volume evaluate both the extent and the limits of the cold war's reach in world history. They call into question orthodox ways of ordering the chronology of the cold war and also present new insights into the global dimension of the conflict.
Even though each essay offers a unique perspective, together they show the interconnectedness between cold war and national and transnational developments, including long-standing conflicts that preceded the cold war and persisted after its end, or global transformations in areas such as human rights or economic and cultural globalization. Because of its broad mandate, the volume is structured not along conventional chronological lines, but thematically, offering essays on conceptual frameworks, regional perspectives, cold war instruments and cold war challenges. The result is a rich and diverse accounting of the ways in which the cold war should be positioned within the broader context of world history.

The Oxford Handbook of Witchcraft in Early Modern Europe and Colonial America
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2013
The essays in this Handbook, written by leading scholars working in the rapidly developing field of witchcraft studies, explore the historical literature regarding witch beliefs and witch trials in Europe and colonial America between the early fifteenth and early eighteenth centuries. During these years witches were thought to be evil people who used magical power to inflict physical harm or misfortune on their neighbours. Witches were also believed to have made pacts with the devil and sometimes to have worshipped him at nocturnal assemblies known as sabbaths. These beliefs provided the basis for defining witchcraft as a secular and ecclesiastical crime and prosecuting tens of thousands of women and men for this offence. The trials resulted in as many as fifty thousand executions.
These essays study the rise and fall of witchcraft prosecutions in the various kingdoms and territories of Europe and in English, Spanish, and Portuguese colonies in the Americas. They also relate these prosecutions to the Catholic and Protestant reformations, the introduction of new forms of criminal procedure, medical and scientific thought, the process of state-building, profound social and economic change, early modern patterns of gender relations, and the wave of demonic possessions that occurred in Europe at the same time. The essays survey the current state of knowledge in the field, explore the academic controversies that have arisen regarding witch beliefs and witch trials, propose new ways of studying the subject, and identify areas for future research.

The Oxford Handbook of World History
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2011
The Oxford Handbook of World History presents thirty-three essays by leading historians in their respective fields. The chapters address the most important issues explored by contemporary world historians. These broadly fall into four categories: conceptions of the global past, themes in world history, processes of world history, regions in world history.
Those chapters on conceptions deal with issues of space and time as treated in the field of world history as well as questions of method, epistemology, the historiography of the area, and globalization as viewed from historical perspective.
Themes present in the book include the natural environment, agriculture, pastoral nomadism, science, technology, state formation, gender, and religion. Chapters dealing with large-scale processes review current thinking on some of the most influential developments of the global past, including mass migrations, cross-cultural trade, biological diffusions, imperial expansion, industrialization, and cultural and religious exchanges. And finally, a set of chapters explores the distinctive historical development within the world's major regions, while also situating individual regions in the larger global context.

Breve storia della Russia: dalle origini a Putin
Torino: Einaudi, 2013.
"Breve storia della Russia" ricostruisce non solo la storia politica ma anche gli sviluppi nel campo della letteratura, dell'arte e della scienza della Russia; ritrae cosí protagonisti di grandezza assoluta - Tolstoj, Cechov e Mendeleev, per esempio - nei loro contesti storici e istituzionali. Benché la Rivoluzione del 1917, il successivo sistema sovietico e la guerra fredda siano stati momenti cruciali della storia russa e mondiale, merito specifico dell'autore è di presentare anche le epoche precedenti in tutta la loro complessità e ricchezza storica e culturale.

Breve storia dell'Africa
Torino: Einaudi, 2010.
Questo libro ripercorre la storia dell'Africa dalla preistoria a oggi ricostruendo forme di organizzazione sociale, formazioni politiche e regni, culture e sistemi di credenza, scambi e aggregazioni che hanno caratterizzato per secoli la vita delle popolazioni africane fino all'avvento dello schiavismo, gli sconvolgimenti politici, economici, territoriali e antropologici prodotti dalle potenze coloniali, la decolonizzazione, le guerre per l'indipendenza, la nascita dei nuovi stati e i differenti sistemi economici che ne sono sorti. Ne risulta un quadro d'insieme che tiene unite sia la prospettiva diacronica, interrogando gli stessi problemi in epoche e contesti estremamente diversi, sia la prospettiva sincronica, delineando un'introduzione chiara e approfondita a uno dei contesti salienti della nostra storia attuale.

Gelvin James L.
Il conflitto israelo-palestinese: cent'anni di guerra
Torino: Einaudi, 2007.
Il conflitto tra israeliani e palestinesi, e rispettivi progenitori, dura da oltre cent'anni. James Gelvin ne offre una ricostruzione storica completa e aggiornata al 2006, partendo dalla metà dell'Ottocento, quando gli abitanti della Palestina ottomana e gli ebrei dell'Europa orientale cominciarono a definirsi come «comunità nazionali» e in breve diedero origine a due movimenti nazionalisti contrapposti, che rivendicano ancora oggi la proprietà di una stessa terra. Dalla nascita dello Stato d'Israele in poi, il susseguirsi di guerre, sommosse, occupazioni e attentati che hanno insanguinato quei territori ha polarizzato l'attenzione internazionale, conferendo alla vicenda un'impronta di unicità. [...] Gelvin analizza con grande chiarezza ed equilibrio le interazioni tra le due comunità che si contendono la Palestina: i reciproci miti nazionali, le logiche interne che hanno innescato il conflitto, le condizioni storiche e le pressioni esterne che ne hanno influenzato lo svolgimento, il coinvolgimento degli Stati arabi e delle altre potenze straniere, i negoziati di pace, fino al recente «disimpegno» da Gaza, in uno scenario da incubo di cui è difficile immaginare la fine.

I Mongoli: espansione, imperi, eredità
Torino: Einaudi, 2012.
L'ascesa dei Mongoli nel XIII secolo cambiò radicalmente il corso della storia in Asia e in Europa. Si trattò di un'epoca di frattura radicale con il passato, con l'introduzione di società nuove che precedettero la cosiddetta età moderna. Questo volume, realizzato da due studiosi delle due maggiori aree asiatiche coinvolte - il mondo islamico e l'Estremo Oriente - propone un quadro complessivo di quella civiltà dal XII al XV secolo, permettendo di comprendere l'evoluzione di società disparate - quelle mongola, cinese, tibetana, coreana, persiana, turca, araba - e non ultima quella europea, che fu intrinsecamente legata al mondo mongolo ricavando benefici commerciali, alleanze militari e influenze culturali. Oltre agli aspetti cruenti che caratterizzarono soprattutto l'ascesa e l'affermazione dei Mongoli e delle dinastie sorte dopo la morte di Chinggis Qa'an - i regni degli Yuan, gli Ilkhanidi, i Chagataici e l'Orda d'oro, - il volume fornisce un quadro delle società e delle economie che ne scaturirono, fino a trattare la storia di quelle dinastie che nel XIV secolo raccolsero l'eredità mongola pur non essendo piú legate direttamente alla figura del fondatore: è il caso soprattutto dell'impero di Tamerlano, di quello Ming in Cina e dell'Impero ottomano, che costituiscono l'esempio piú eclatante della sopravvivenza di quel retaggio.

Bayly Christopher A.
La nascita del mondo moderno
Torino: Einaudi, 2009.
Ben prima dell'inizio canonico della globalizzazione, fondamentali tendenze storiche rivelano l'interdipendenza dei cambiamenti politici e sociali a livello planetario. Eventi mondiali come le rivoluzioni europee del 1789 e del 1848 si riverberarono all'esterno mescolandosi con le convulsioni che si producevano all'interno di altre società. Dall'altro lato, eventi esterni all'emergente «nocciolo» europeo e americano dell'economia industriale contribuirono a plasmarne le ideologie forgiando nuovi conflitti politici e sociali. Nel corso di tali processi, anche le forme dell'agire umano si adattarono reciprocamente finendo con l'assomigliarsi dappertutto nel mondo.
Attingendo a una mole sterminata di conoscenze, Bayly ripercorre il sorgere di uniformità globali nello Stato, nella religione, nelle arti, nei rapporti di genere, nelle ideologie politiche e nella vita economica nel corso del XIX secolo.
Il quadro che si disegna è una «world history» che si sottrae a qualunque visione unidirezionale, che accetta di essere decentrata e segnata dalla discontinuità, dalle rotture non preannunciate e insieme dal permanere di antiche forme di dominio. (Da sito Einaudi)

Preistoria: l'alba della mente umana
Torino: Einaudi, 2011.
Renfrew ripercorre qui le tracce dello sviluppo della mente umana, sottolineando i cambiamenti cruciali verificatisi 10 000 anni fa che portarono allo sviluppo di società complesse in varie aree geografiche: e alle prime città. La chiave per decifrare tale processo evolutivo risiede nel nostro DNA rimasto sostanzialmente inalterato per 200 000 anni, ma anche nelle affascinanti conquiste della nostra mente. L'approccio dell'archeologia cognitiva vivamente ed efficacemente caldeggiato dall'autore consente di delucidare perché il mondo umano cambiò cosí radicalmente negli ultimi 10 000 anni.

Non solo la vita politica dunque, ma anche il ruolo, attivo o passivo, delle donne e dei bambini, degli intellettuali e degli scienziati, dei giornalisti e dei cineasti. L'edizione italiana integra ampiamente l'edizione originale francese con contributi di autori italiani dedicati al nostro punto di vista sulla guerra, attraverso voci che mettono l'accento sulla specificità della nostra nazione: il repentino ingresso nel conflitto; la guerra in alta montagna; i collegamenti tra esperienza di guerra e sviluppo del fenomeno fascista; la vicenda altoatesina di appartenenze multiple e memorie conflittuali; l'impatto dell'esperienza delle trincee.

La prima guerra mondiale
Torino: Einaudi, 2007.
La Grande guerra continua a occupare un posto di primissimo piano tanto dal punto di vista della storiografia quanto da quello della memoria collettiva. Essa fu la prima manifestazione sistematica della combinazione tra tecnologia e produzione di morte, la prima espressione di una mobilitazione totale delle masse, fu, in breve, la prima rivelazione compiuta e folgorante della modernità, della sua natura, dei suoi dilemmi e dei suoi rischi. L¿ambizione di quest¿opera è di fondere sensibilità e interessi propri della storiografia tradizionale piú attenta all¿oggettività dei processi, alle dimensioni diplomatiche, politiche, militari, ma anche economiche e sociali dell¿evento, con i nuovi orizzonti aperti da una storia che si suole definire culturale e che riporta in primo piano le dimensioni della soggettività, dell¿esperienza vissuta, dell¿immaginario e della memoria anche grazie all¿uso di fonti mai prima esplorate (non solo scritti dunque, ma anche immagini e oggetti destinati a integrare la riflessione del lettore).
L'edizione italiana integra ampiamente l¿edizione originale francese con contributi di autori italiani dedicati al nostro punto di vista sulla guerra, attraverso voci che mettono l¿accento sulla specificità della nostra nazione: il repentino ingresso nel conflitto; la guerra in alta montagna; i collegamenti tra esperienza di guerra e sviluppo del fenomeno fascista; la vicenda altoatesina di appartenenze multiple e memorie conflittuali; l¿impatto dell'esperienza delle trincee.

Conte Francis
Gli Slavi: le civiltà dell'Europa centrale e orientale
Torino: Einaudi, 2006.
Francis Conte risale alle origini di quei popoli che si addensarono nelle pianure dell'Europa orientale e ne studia nelle diverse epoche le grandi correnti degli scambi e dei traffici commerciali, i metodi di lavoro e gli stili di vita, le strutture sociali, le grandi tendenze spirituali.
Dalle civiltà precristiane agli incontri con Roma e Bisanzio, fino alle politiche dell'impero austroungarico e dell'Unione Sovietica, l'autore individua una «specificità» slava attraverso una ricostruzione storica analitica e insieme narrata che necessariamente chiama come testimoni cronisti e viaggiatori e, ancora, studiosi di arte e di letteratura, etnografi e sociologi, economisti e archeologi.

Storia della guerra in Vietnam: la tragedia in Asia e la fine del sogno americano
Torino: Einaudi, 2008.
Questo libro intende fornire un quadro completo e accessibile delle origini, sviluppi, esiti e conseguenze del piú lungo conflitto militare del XX secolo. Rispetto all'abbondante letteratura sull'argomento, per lo piú incentrata sugli aspetti militari e strategici del fenomeno, l'autore ricostruisce, in una sintesi chiara e rigorosa, le cause remote e lo sfondo generale del conflitto (lo scenario della colonizzazione e decolonizzazione dell'intera Indocina sotto il dominio francese, lo scacchiere politico del Sud-est asiatico a fronte del consolidamento dei regimi comunisti, le conseguenze per gli Stati Uniti della guerra di Corea e della guerra fredda, i problemi e i conflitti interni al paese, le contraddizioni economico-sociali) inserendo in tale quadro complesso le principali fasi politico-militari dell'escalation della guerra nella regione. Frey dà inoltre grande rilievo alle vicende interne degli Usa legate alla guerra e ai loro effetti sul lungo periodo: il movimento pacifista e le lotte studentesche, lo sviluppo della controcultura, la loro influenza sulla pubblica opinione, i diversi orientamenti nello stato maggiore americano e le conseguenze di tutto ciò sullo svolgimento della guerra e i suoi esiti.

Adottando un taglio critico sempre attento alla cultura delle identità regionali indiane, questo libro ci offre un suggestivo affresco storico, economico e spirituale di quell'area del pianeta che si estende dall'Oceano Indiano alle catene dell'Himalaya, dal Pakistan al Bangladesh allo Sri Lanka, in un arco temporale di quasi 5000 anni, dai primi coltivatori preistorici ai conflitti delle Tigri Tamil fino alla migrazione oltreoceano delle popolazioni asiatiche di oggi. Accessibile ma mai convenzionale, il libro ricostruisce le complesse vicende politiche e differenze religiose che caratterizzano la storia dell'India e dell'Asia meridionale e costituisce un indispensabile strumento per storici, lettori generali e appassionati di viaggio.

Brill's encyclopedia of Hinduism
Leiden: Brill, 2009- .
Brill’s Encyclopedia of Hinduism is part of the Handbook of Oriental Studies, Section 2: South Asia (HO2), which publishes scholarly reference works, bibliographies, and research tools pertaining to the political, economic, social, linguistic, and religious history of the Indian subcontinent.
The five-volume Brill’s Encyclopedia of Hinduism -with first volume published in 2009 and to be completed in 2013 with Vol. 5- is a thematic encyclopedia, presenting the latest research on all the main aspects of the Hindu traditions in original essays written by the world’s foremost scholars on Hinduism. The Encyclopedia explicitly adopts an interdisciplinary and pluralistic approach, and in it, the term “Hinduism” is used critically in the knowledge that most of the traditions that today make up Hinduism are much older than the term itself. The Encyclopedia aims at a balanced and even-handed view of Hinduism, recognizing the tensions inherent in the academic examination of Hinduism. It emphasizes that Hinduism is a conglomerate of regional religious traditions and at the same time a global world religion. Hinduism is also both an ancient historical tradition and a living tradition flourishing in the contemporary world. It is an oral tradition, yet one with a huge number of sacred texts at its basis. Hinduism is both a religious identity and an object of academic scholarship.
Illustrated with maps and photographs, Brill’s Encyclopedia presents the learned philosophical and theological traditions of Hinduism as well as its many folk traditions. Covering the spread of Hinduism over the last two hundred years to all the continents as well as the interaction of Hinduism with other religions, it also portrays the various responses of Hindu traditions to a number of contemporary issues of great relevance today, such as feminism, human rights, egalitarianism, bioethics, and so on.
