{"product_id":"power-and-time-dan-edelstein-9780226481623","title":"Power and Time: Temporalities in Conflict and the Making of History","description":"Time is the backdrop of historical inquiry, yet it is much more than a featureless setting for events. Different temporalities interact dynamically; sometimes they coexist tensely, sometimes they clash violently. In this innovative volume, editors Dan Edelstein, Stefanos Geroulanos, and Natasha Wheatley challenge how we interpret history by focusing on the nexus of two concepts--\"power\" and \"time\"--as they manifest in a wide variety of case studies. Analyzing history, culture, politics, technology, law, art, and science, this engaging book shows how power is constituted through the shaping of temporal regimes in historically specific ways. \u003ci\u003ePower and Time\u003c\/i\u003e includes seventeen essays on human rights; sovereignty; Islamic, European, Chinese, and Indian history; slavery; capitalism; revolution; the Supreme Court; the Anthropocene; and even the Manson Family. \u003ci\u003ePower and Time \u003c\/i\u003ewill be an agenda-setting volume, highlighting the work of some of the world's most respected and original contemporary historians and posing fundamental questions for the craft of history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Edelstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022648162X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226481623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.30d","brand":"Dan Edelstein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983604121855,"sku":"9780226481623","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_33aca5ac-d3ea-4f4e-a33a-d1bade7d8e72.jpg?v=1683267637","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/power-and-time-dan-edelstein-9780226481623","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
