Star and Key : The Historical Adventure of Mauritius
Many countries have an interesting tale to tell about their origins and evolution.But few are as exciting and adventurous as that of Mauritius— ‘Star and Key’ of the Indian Ocean.A tiny island of volcanos, dodos and lagoons, Mauritius remained untouched by humans until Arab sailors discovered it in the tenth century.Settled by the Portuguese, Dutch, French and then British, it was passed from one empire to another, each recognising its immense strategic importance, yet all struggling fully to control it.From a highly prized colonial chess piece to an independent success story, Mauritius has always been a place with outsized influence.This cultural melting- pot is home to peoples of Indian, Chinese, African and European descent, shaping the country’s vibrant literature, music, language and art—as well as its ethnic tensions, which have always bubbled near the surface.Olivier Hein’s sweeping history uncovers Mauritius’s fascinating yet little-known past, exploring the age of pirates; the horrors of indentured labour; the 1810 Franco-British war; the transformations in economy, landscape and climate during the twenty-first century; and much more.From its geological origins to the present day, this is the story of an island nation quite unlike any other.

Culture and PTSD : Trauma in Global and Historical Perspective
Since the 1970s, understanding of the effects of trauma, including flashbacks and withdrawal, has become widespread in the United States.As a result Americans can now claim that the phrase posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is familiar even if the American Psychiatric Association's criteria for diagnosis are not.As embedded as these ideas now are in the American mindset, however, they are more widely applicable, this volume attempts to show, than is generally recognized.The essays in Culture and PTSD trace how trauma and its effects vary across historical and cultural contexts. Culture and PTSD examines the applicability of PTSD to other cultural contexts and details local responses to trauma and the extent they vary from PTSD as defined in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual.Investigating responses in Peru, Indonesia, Haiti, and Native American communities as well as among combat veterans, domestic abuse victims, and adolescents, contributors attempt to address whether PTSD symptoms are present and, if so, whether they are a salient part of local responses to trauma.Moreover, the authors explore other important aspects of the local presentation and experience of trauma-related disorder, whether the Western concept of PTSD is known to lay members of society, and how the introduction of PTSD shapes local understandings and the course of trauma-related disorders. By attempting to determine whether treatments developed for those suffering PTSD in American and European contexts are effective in global settings of violence or disaster, Culture and PTSD questions the efficacy of international responses that focus on trauma.

What is the difference between historical culture and memory culture?
Historical culture refers to the collective understanding and interpretation of historical events, traditions, and customs within a society. It encompasses the tangible and intangible aspects of a society's past, including artifacts, monuments, and rituals. Memory culture, on the other hand, focuses on the ways in which a society actively engages with and remembers its history. It involves the processes of commemoration, memorialization, and the transmission of historical knowledge through storytelling, education, and public discourse. While historical culture is the broader framework of a society's historical identity, memory culture is the active, dynamic practice of remembering and interpreting that history.

How does historical knowledge relate to the culture of remembrance?
Historical knowledge is essential to the culture of remembrance as it provides the foundation for understanding and interpreting past events. It allows us to accurately remember and honor the experiences of those who came before us. Historical knowledge also helps to shape the narratives and collective memory of a society, influencing how events and individuals are remembered and commemorated. Without a deep understanding of history, the culture of remembrance would lack the context and significance necessary for meaningful reflection and commemoration.

Historical Criminology
This book sets an agenda for the development of historical approaches to criminology.It defines ‘historical criminology’, explores its characteristic strengths and limitations, and considers its potential to enhance, revise and fundamentally challenge dominant modes of thinking about crime and social responses to crime.It considers the following questions: What is historical criminology?What does thinking historically about crime and justice entail? How is historical criminology currently practised? What are the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to historical criminology? How can historical criminology reshape understandings of crime and social responses to crime? How does thinking historically bear upon major theoretical, conceptual and methodological questions in criminological research? What does thinking historically have to offer criminological scholarship more broadly, and the uses of criminology in the public realm?In this book, Churchill, Yeomans and Channing situate ‘historical thinking’ at the heart of historical criminology, reveal the value of historical research to criminology and argue that criminologists across the field have much to gain from engaging in historical thinking in a more regular and sustained way. This book is essential reading for all criminologists, as well as students taking courses on theories, concepts and methods in criminology.

Historical Ontology
With the unusual clarity, distinctive and engaging style, and penetrating insight that have drawn such a wide range of readers to his work, Ian Hacking here offers his reflections on the philosophical uses of history.The focus of this volume, which collects both recent and now-classic essays, is the historical emergence of concepts and objects, through new uses of words and sentences in specific settings, and new patterns or styles of reasoning within those sentences.In its lucid and thoroughgoing look at the historical dimension of concepts, the book is at once a systematic formulation of Hacking’s approach and its relation to other types of intellectual history, and a valuable contribution to philosophical understanding. Hacking opens the volume with an extended meditation on the philosophical significance of history.The importance of Michel Foucault—for the development of this theme, and for Hacking’s own work in intellectual history—emerges in the following chapters, which place Hacking’s classic essays on Foucault within the wider context of general reflections on historical methodology.Against this background, Hacking then develops ideas about how language, styles of reasoning, and “psychological” phenomena figure in the articulation of concepts—and in the very prospect of doing philosophy as historical ontology.

Is the Exodus historical?
The historicity of the Exodus is a topic of debate among scholars and historians. While there is no direct archaeological evidence to confirm the events described in the biblical account of the Exodus, some scholars argue that there may be indirect evidence supporting the possibility of a historical Exodus. For example, some believe that the biblical narrative may contain elements of historical truth, such as the presence of Israelites in ancient Egypt and their eventual departure from the region. However, others argue that the lack of concrete evidence makes it difficult to definitively confirm the historicity of the Exodus. Ultimately, the question of whether the Exodus is historical remains a matter of interpretation and debate.
