This book was released on 2007-10-31 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The VOC (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie, the Dutch East India Company) was the largest of the early modern European trading companies operating in Asia. Its operations produced not only warehouses packed with spices, coffee, tea, textiles, porcelain and silk, but also shiploads of documents. Data on political, economic, cultural, religious, and social conditions spread over an enormous area circulated between the VOC establishments, the administrative centre of the trade in Batavia, now the city of Jakarta, and the Board of Directors in the Netherlands. The co-operation between the National Archives of Indonesia and the Netherlands resulted in this extensive catalogue of fifteen archives of VOC institutions in Jakarta. The VOC records are included in UNESCO ́s Memory of the World Register.

Download or read book The Wilsonian Moment written by Erez Manela and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-23 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, while key decisions were debated by the victorious Allied powers, a multitude of smaller nations and colonies held their breath, waiting to see how their fates would be decided. President Woodrow Wilson, in his Fourteen Points, had called for "a free, open-minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims," giving equal weight would be given to the opinions of the colonized peoples and the colonial powers. Among those nations now paying close attention to Wilson's words and actions were the budding nationalist leaders of four disparate non-Western societies--Egypt, India, China, and Korea. That spring, Wilson's words would help ignite political upheavals in all four of these countries. This book is the first to place the 1919 Revolution in Egypt, the Rowlatt Satyagraha in India, the May Fourth movement in China, and the March First uprising in Korea in the context of a broader "Wilsonian moment" that challenged the existing international order. Using primary source material from America, Europe, and Asia, historian Erez Manela tells the story of how emerging nationalist movements appropriated Wilsonian language and adapted it to their own local culture and politics as they launched into action on the international stage. The rapid disintegration of the Wilsonian promise left a legacy of disillusionment and facilitated the spread of revisionist ideologies and movements in these societies; future leaders of Third World liberation movements--Mao Zedong, Ho Chi Minh, and Jawaharlal Nehru, among others--were profoundly shaped by their experiences at the time. The importance of the Paris Peace Conference and Wilson's influence on international affairs far from the battlefields of Europe cannot be underestimated. Now, for the first time, we can clearly see just how the events played out at Versailles sparked a wave of nationalism that is still resonating globally today.
Download or read book India s Historical Demography written by Tim Dyson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When this book was originally published in 1989 here had been virtually no studies of the country’s historical demography. This volume was significant for 3 reasons: it contributed greatly to the knowledge of India’s population history; it had major implications for the work of social and economic historians of India; and lastly the Indian context provides an excellent laboratory in which to investigate certain large-scale demographic phenomena – among others the experience of bubonic plague, influenza, cholera and famine.

There Is Virtually No Comprehensive Work On The Crucial Problem Of 19Th Century Indian Opium Production And Trade. Amar Farooqui`S Work Goes A Long Way Towards Filling The Gap In Our Knowledge Of That Branch Of Opium Production Which Was A Product Of Indian Initiative-Malwa Opium. In The Process He Outlines An Innovative Thesis On Business Communities Of Western India And The Origins Of The Indian Capitalist Class.

The Political Economy Of Malwa In The Late Maratha/Early Colonial Period Is A Neglected Area Of Historical Research. The Sindia And Holkar States Have Been Examined In Some Detail In This Work. The Author Has Placed His Study In The Context Of The Debate On The Nature Of Economy, Society, And The State In Late Pre-Colonial India. The Book Explores Various Aspects Of The International Trade In Opium Which Will Be Useful For A Better Understanding Of The History Of Modern South-East Asia And Of Colonialism In General.
