This groundbreaking and thought-provoking book puts the care experience at the centre of education history. Engaging and accessible, Critical Histories in Care and Education provides historical insight to the growing field of care studies. It reveals how nineteenth century assumptions and prejudices about care-experienced pupils helped shape education policy and continue to do so today.Drawing together original archive research with critical theory and written by an academic researcher and writer who is a foster carer herself, the book challenges some of the key myths and stereotypes involving the care experience and shines an illuminating light on their origins. Aimed primarily at undergraduate and postgraduate students in education, this book identifies discursive threads and provides fresh insights through a critical retelling of the history of the care system. In combining the histories of care and education, it challenges some taken-for-granted assumptions about both. Throughout the book students are invited to critically examine relationships between gender, class, care and work, and how they continue to impact on the role today.The book is a vital resource for anyone involved in studying childhood, education, welfare and care, and will appeal to anyone wanting to broaden their knowledge and critical understanding of this complex topic.

This book takes a thematic approach to questions of how to define emotion and loneliness, breaking down loneliness into a range of different dimensions - estrangement, longing, homesickness, isolation - and considers how these phenomena appear across a range of global contexts.Loneliness is a topic of current concern, a downside of the anomie of the modern condition. Yet, emotions and experiences that share some of the features of loneliness can be found in cultures from the ancient world onwards. The book engages with discussions about what loneliness might encompass and how different societies and people have experienced it, raising key questions including where we place the boundaries of emotion, what makes particular emotions distinctive and cultural (or conversely universal), and how we might engage in comparative work across languages and cultures.Loneliness in World History provides an introduction to an important contemporary emotion across cultures and time, and it is particularly suited for undergraduate students and those new to the field of the history of emotions.

Grappling with Monuments of Oppression provides a timely analysis of the diverse approaches being used around the world to confront colonial and imperial monuments and to promote social equity.Presenting 12 interdisciplinary, international case studies, this volume explores the ways in which the materiality of social domination can be combated. With contributions from activists, scholars, artists, and policymakers, the book envisions the theme of restorative justice in heritage and archaeology as encompassing initiatives for the reconciliation of past societal transgressions using processes that are multivocal, dialogic, historically informed, community based, negotiated, and transformative. Arguing that monuments to historical figures who engaged in oppressive regimes provide rich opportunities for dialog and negotiation, chapters within the book demonstrate that, by confronting these monuments, citizens can envision new ways to address the context and significance of the figures they memorialize and the many people who were targets of their oppression. Contributors to the book also provide a toolkit of methods and strategies for addressing the continuing structures of social domination.Grappling with Monuments of Oppression will be essential reading for academics and students working in heritage studies, archaeology, anthropology, material culture studies, landscape analysis, and museum studies. It will also be of great interest to practitioners and activists around the world.

Gozzi, Gustavo (ed.), The Islamic World and the Mediterranean: From Colonial Legacy to Political and Cultural Interdependence. 182 pp. 2025:1 (Routledge, UK) <735-604>

This collection investigates the conflictual relationship between the Islamic world and Western civilization, looking at its history as key to understanding its present. The historical narrative starts from the controversial encounter that took place at the close of the 18th century, the effort being to improve our understanding of that engagement and its current implications, focusing in particular on how it has affected law, philosophy, and religion. The subsequent age of 19th-century colonialism is analysed with a view to understanding the currents of mutual influence that throughout that era ran between Islam and the Western world, looking at the law and the institutions, as well as at different strains in the culture. This discussion provides the backdrop against which the book turns a critical eye on current Euro-Mediterranean relations, highlighting the need to move beyond the conditionality principle that has traditionally been a cornerstone of European policy toward Arab Muslim peoples and to set this relationship on a new foundation, one that recognizes the interdependency between these two areas, making it possible to open up a Mediterranean space of mutual recognition among all its peoples. The book will be of interest to researchers and academics working in the areas of Legal and Political History, Comparative Law, Legal Philosophy, Law and Religion, and Islamic Studies.
