Upends current thinking about how early modern people started to conceptualize human beings in terms of populations. Bloody Numbers is a provocative account of the violent world of the sixteenth and early seventeenth-century South Atlantic slave-trading societies, where traders, officials, notaries, and ship captains began thinking about human bodies as aggregate populations understood through numbers: measurements, averages, and calculations of risk and value assessed through the tabulation of heights, weights, tumors, scars, and other characteristics. Pablo F. Gomez explores how figures within the Spanish, Portuguese, and African slave trades used this model for understanding human bodies to generalize about behavior and disease in ways that foreshadowed the work of modern epidemiologists and public health officials-though they employed their probabilities with the brutal aim of protecting their financial interests rather than caring for enslaved people. The ruthlessness inherent in these practices became ingrained in the modern corporeal mathematics that emerged from the early slave trade and diffused through its vast political, financial, logistical, and intellectual networks. A pathbreaking work, Body Numbers reveals the historical actions that rendered populations quantifiable. In doing so, Gomez shows that confronting these origins is essential to understanding the violent political, legal, economic, and scientific practices that ascribe numbers to our own bodies.

グローバルヒストリーの視点における反人種主義ハンドブック
Holland, Alison / Lee, Christopher (eds.), Routledge Handbook on Antiracism in Global Historical Perspective. 614 pp. 2026:4 (Routledge, UK) <759-785>

This Handbook is the first multidisciplinary anthology of research on antiracism in global historical perspective. It demonstrates the importance of a historical lens for understanding the deep lineages of antiracism and reveals the myriad ways-transracial, transnational, and transhistorical-that antiracism has shaped world history.Drawing on case studies from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, South America and North America from the eighteenth century to the present, this volume situates antiracism in a variety of temporal, geographical and ideological contexts that span the globe. By highlighting the perspectives of racially marginalized individuals and communities, it showcases the distinctiveness and importance of key thinkers, ideas, and methodologies in regional and national contexts. Further, by recovering complex histories, including memories and legacies, of antiracism, this Handbook illustrates how faultlines of race, class, and gender informed internal debates, priorities and outcomes. It emphasizes the creativity and labour of antiracist activism at the local and international levels.The Routledge Handbook of Antiracism in Global Historical Perspective ultimately underscores the diverse genealogies of antiracism and its transnational networks of political solidarity in order to contribute to future research and teaching as well as political praxis in the present. A vital resource for students, teachers and activists alike, it presents a synthesis of some of the best work on antiracism to date by leading scholars, both emerging and internationally recognized, across the humanities and social sciences.

文化的岐路に立つアジアの海洋の歴史とアイデンティティ

Maritime Asia, collectively bordered by the Pacific, Indian and Arctic Ocean, sources Asia's food reserve, goods and ideas yet figures relatively lesser in global cultural production. Asia's 'great highways' and 'wide common' of the sea function as routes for trade and commerce that underpins globalization. Due to unprecedented human trafficking at sea, the ocean has largely become a repository for plastic pollution, waste and effluents. Complex oceanic-ecosystems make it inconceivable for human beings to take stock of the interdependence of seas, earth and atmosphere, 'missing in context' for redressal.

イギリス帝国における人種とリプロダクション　1660～1840年

Explores the intersection of racial thought and reproductive science and policy across the British Empire.In Generating Difference, Andrew Wells traces the entwined histories of race, sex, and reproduction in Britain and its empire during the long eighteenth century. Challenging the assumption that the concept of race evolved in the modern era solely through new forms of biological science, Wells argues that older ideas of lineage, sexual reproduction, and bodily difference remained central to how race was understood, categorized, and enforced well into the nineteenth century. From the pages of Enlightenment science to colonial policy in the Caribbean, South Asia, and the Pacific, Wells shows how reproductive sex served as a primary framework for defining human differences. Concepts of identity were written onto bodies-especially those marked as non-white or non-male-through perceived differences in anatomy, fertility, and sexuality, albeit never unproblematically. Whether in debates about slavery, interracial relationships, embryology, or population policy, the reproductive body became the crucible in which ideas about race and sex were forged and maintained. Offering a global scope beyond the Atlantic, including South Asia and the Pacific, and drawing from a wide range of sources-from satire to scientific treatises-Generating Difference brings the scholarship of race and sexuality into direct and compelling conversation. Wells uncovers how deeply reproduction structured imperial ideologies and how the policing of bodies helped naturalize hierarchy, control, and exclusion. At its core, the book reconsiders what made difference "visible" in a period before the dominance of the idea of racial biology.

Amid rising global inequality, intensifying geopolitical frictions, and the renewed force of colonial logics, this volume offers a critical interrogation of coloniality, decolonial practices, global capitalism, and the technologies of governance that entrench social and environmental injustice.Bringing together leading scholars from across disciplines and regions, the book traverses a wide range of contemporary terrains-from digital governance and platform capitalism to gig economies, migrant labor, and the racialized violence of displacement. Contributors unpack the historical roots and systemic architectures of domination while foregrounding situated efforts of resistance and decolonial praxis.Through incisive analysis and engaged scholarship, the volume challenges the institutional and ideological exclusions that continue to shape our world, offering compelling insights into how decolonisation might be reimagined as both critique and struggle in the twenty-first century.

国家アイデンティティの政治と東アジアの形成－中国と日本からの視点

East Asia is shaped as much by identity-based dynamics as by material forces. This book examines how the evolving state identities of China and Japan have interacted with the regional order and its prospects for both cooperation and conflict. While identity-based dynamics have long been recognised as enduring features by observers of East Asia, conventional accounts often emphasise the absence of a shared identity, persistent historical grievances, and nationalism-fuelled territorial disputes-particularly between China and Japan-as key obstacles to regional cooperation. This volume instead offers a state identity politics approach that moves beyond viewing the 'ghosts of the past' as fixed constraints. It focuses on how domestic actors in both countries construct and mobilise state identities, how domestic politics interact with international relations, and how these identities shape regional order. Through analysis of China's and Japan's evolving approaches to key post-Cold War regional initiatives, the author demonstrates why state identity politics is vital to understanding Sino-Japanese relations and broader regional dynamics in East Asia. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of East Asian politics, Sino-Japanese relations, diplomatic studies, and domestic-international interactions, as well as policymakers engaged in these fields.

南北のディスコース再考－賠償と歴史的不正

ISBN 978-1-032-99123-8 hard ¥46,035.- (税込) GB￡ 155.00

This book challenges the asymmetries in dialogues between the Global South and Global North.The book considers how the literature on reparative politics in itself often perpetuates Western-centric models which risk leading to paternalistic approaches, as well as undermining the agency of thinkers, activists, and victims within the Global South. Encouraging a dialogue between the Global North and South, the book considers questions of affirmative action, collective memory, and alternative frameworks for dialogue on reparations. Authors also explore whether reparative policies should aim solely to repair past wrongs, or to also address ongoing structural inequalities and systemic injustices, including symbolic and affective dimensions.Interdisciplinary by design, this book will be an important read for researchers across the fields of political science, international relations, global studies, and sociology.

平和と紛争におけるインド太平洋のディアスポラ

ISBN 978-1-032-86279-8 hard ¥46,035.- (税込) GB￡ 155.00

Cogan and contributors explore critical political, cultural, and structural challenges facing Indo-Pacific diaspora communities through seven unique contexts, illuminating how these populations confront transnational repression and organizational fragmentation while rebuilding lives abroad.Populations from many countries in the Indo-Pacific region have sought to resettle overseas, fleeing political unrest, ethnic conflict, political persecution and violence, discrimination and marginalization based on religious beliefs, and poor economic conditions. In seeking better opportunities for themselves and their families, severe challenges and obstacles remain. Drawing upon first-hand interviews, this book provides rich insights into the struggles of diaspora groups from Hong Kong, Thailand, Myanmar, India, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Each chapter explores unique cultural, economic, and political barriers faced by these disparate communities, from maintaining identity to confronting surveillance by home governments, while examining how diaspora organizations pursue political change, justice for human rights abuses, and international advocacy. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of International Relations, as well as human rights professionals working with diaspora populations or on issues related to authoritarianism and democratization.

In the face of rapid urbanization and environmental challenges, the developing world stands at a crossroads. Conventional sustainable design, often modelled on Global North precedents, is proving insufficient to address the deep-seated infrastructural and socio-economic complexities of these unique contexts. This book argues for a radical shift from simply minimizing harm to actively healing and restoring our communities and ecosystems through regenerative architecture.Moving beyond theory, this work provides a critical and practical roadmap for applying regenerative principles specifically in the challenging environments of developing nations. We delve into the core of what makes regeneration different, showcasing how it can produce net-positive energy and water systems, enhance biodiversity, foster social equity, and create economic value where it is needed most.The heart of this book lies in its actionable insights and real-world evidence. Through a series of detailed case studies-from innovative adaptive reuse in Ghana and decentralized renewable systems in Rwanda to community-driven projects in South Africa, we demonstrate viable solutions. These are contrasted with lessons from pioneering examples in Sweden, the UK, and Canada, not as blueprints to copy, but as sources of adaptable strategies.A significant focus is given to a deep-dive case study of Nigeria, offering a nuanced examination of its colonial architectural legacy, current urban pressures, and the emergent regenerative strategies that blend vernacular wisdom with modern innovation.This book is more than a reference; it is a call to action. It provides policymakers with frameworks for supportive regulations, offers practitioners design strategies and performance metrics, and equips students and researchers with a comprehensive conceptual foundation. By championing an approach that is both context-sensitive and aspirational, this book serves as an essential guide for anyone committed to building resilient, vibrant, and equitable urban futures in the developing world and beyond.

This volume examines the concept of human dignity from uniquely Asian perspectives. As the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) celebrates its 75th anniversary, human dignity is more consequential than ever, yet it is not understood in the same way in every nation or by every culture. Here, human dignity is approached from a number of distinctive viewpoints: its relation to religious freedom in maturing pluralist democracies, its foundation in ancient Eastern philosophy, its pursuit by liberation movements, and its alignment with Buddhism, Islam, and less familiar Indigenous religions. The authors, from various Asian countries, bring extensive scholarship and experience to bear on the project of expanding the idea of human dignity. They present a range of perspectives, having roots as they do in states with distinct religious and cultural traditions that, following the Second World War, have evolved toward constitutional democracies, as well as states where social and legislative developments related to human dignity have been influenced by more collectivist ideologies. The collection will be of interest to philosophers of law, constitutional and human rights theorists and lawyers, political historians, international law specialists and ethicists, and those interested in interfaith dialogue and multifaith engagement.
