"This book analyses the interface between medicine and colonial society through the lens of gender. Based on hitherto unused primary sources the work traces how since almost the beginning of the nineteenth century the growth of hospital medicine in Bengal created a space, albeit small, for providing Western health care to female patients. It observes that, unlike in the colonial setup, before the advent of hospital medicine women were treated mostly by female practitioners of indigenous therapies who had commendable skill as practitioners. The book also explores the linkages of growth of medical education for women and the role of the Indian reformers as well as British administrators in this process. The manuscript tackles several crucial questions including those of racial discrimination, reproductive health practices, sexual health, famines and mortality, and the role of womens agencies and other organizations in popularizing Western medicine and health care. Thus this work, explores the different processes which contributed towards the shaping of the discursive domain of medicine with a bearing on womens health as well as highlights different dimensions of empirical developments. In the process it enriches our understanding of colonialism, gender, and politics of medicine in the nineteenth and twentieth century in a novel way."

"The late 19th to early 20th century was a period of great transformation in Koreanliterature. However, change was also accompanied by continuity, with works thatinherited or utilized the styles of pre-modern periods existing alongside works ofa new stylistic form. This was the situation for &ldquoself-narrative&rdquo works which lookedback upon, recorded and evaluated the meaning of a person&rsquos life. Prior to themodern period, works that took the writer&rsquos own life as the subject matter were rarein traditional East Asian literature as the European tradition of writing confessionswas absent. As a result, the autobiography, in the European sense, did not exist.Nevertheless, self-narrative works which took on the forms of other pre-existingliterary genres can be observed. Examples of self-narrative works which utilizedtraditional literary forms can also be found in the Korean literature of the late 19th toearly 20th century. These works differ from European autobiographies in terms theirobjectivity and style their characteristic features are the way in which the historicalcircumstances of the time, which are not harmonious, are reflected and how thetransformation of the social group, rather than the individual, is emphasized. On theother hand, self-narrative works which adopted new literary styles from Europe orJapan also began to appear, produced by individuals who had become familiar withthe Christian tradition or who had studied abroad. Examples of this can be foundin the works of An Jungg?n, Jang ?ngjin and Yi Kwangsu which demonstrate theadoption of new techniques that allow confessions or the disclosure of the writer&rsquosinner side. These new forms of self-narrative cannot be regarded, in terms of theircontent and theme, as representing a development but their unique significancecannot be denied as well."

Salah satu tokoh utama yang ikut merintis hubungan bagi universitas-universitas di Rusia dengan dunia Arab adalah Shaykh Muḥammad Ayyād al-Ṭanṭawy, seorang ulama al-Azhar yang kemudian pindah dan menetap di Rusia pada tahun 1840.

"Legalist Empire explores the intimate connections between international law and empire in the United States from 1898 to 1919. Though many histories treat Woodrow Wilsons plans for the League of Nations as the beginning of Americas substantive engagement with international law, this book demonstrates the broad influence of legal concepts and expertise in the years before World War I. It follows such lawyers as Elihu Root, John Bassett Moore, James Brown Scott, and Robert Lansing as they created an American profession of international law, promoted the creation of international courts, represented corporations with business overseas, and served as high-ranking policymakers in Washington. A widespread belief in the inevitable progress of civilization simultaneously justified American empire and underwrote the claim that international adjudication could bring world peace. Legalist Empire shows how international lawyers justified the conquest of the Philippines, the taking of Panama, and interventions throughout the Caribbean, and also explains why the law of neutrality helped lead the United States into World War I. The book also offers a new history of the origins of the American international law profession. Research in the papers and publications of lawyers and their organizations shows how political, ideological, and cultural assumptions shaped the emerging profession. A conclusion tracing developments to the present further emphasizes that rather than being antagonists, empire and the international rule of law have frequently reinforced each other in American history."
