Originally published in 1965. In A Baronial Family in Medieval England: The Clares, 1217–1314, Michael Altschul studies the Clare family during the thirteenth century. The Clares spearheaded the struggle to enforce Magna Carta in the Barons' War. Historians prior to Altschul tended to neglect the Clares' history given the scattered nature of the archives documenting their time as a politically influential and powerful family. This book unfolds chronologically, outlining the Clares' rise to preeminence and describing how they administered their estates and income.

Colonial scholars have taken immense pleasure in portraying Africans as possessed by spirits but as lacking possession and ownership of their resources, including land. Erroneously deemed to be thoroughly spiritually possessed but lacking senses of material possession and ownership of resources, Africans have been consistently dispossessed and displaced from the era of enslavement, through colonialism, to the neocolonial era. Delving into the historiography of dispossession and displacement on the continent of Africa, and in particular in Zimbabwe, this book also tackles contemporary forms of dispossession and displacement manifesting in the ongoing transnational corporations land grabs in Africa, wherein African peasants continue to be dispossessed and displaced. Focusing on the topical issues around dispossession and repossession of land, and the attendant displacements in contemporary Zimbabwe, the book theorises displacements from a decolonial Pan-Africanist perspective and it also unpacks various forms of displacements -- corporeal, noncorporeal, cognitive, spiritual, genealogical and linguistic displacements, among others. The book is an excellent read for scholars from a variety of disciplines such as Geography, Sociology, Social Anthropology, History, Linguistics, Development Studies, Science and technology Studies, Jurisprudence and Social Theory, Law and Philosophy. The book also offers intellectual grit for policy makers and implementers, civil society organisations including activists as well as thinkers interested in decolonisation and transformation.

Land settlement schemes, sponsored by national governments and businesses, such as the Ford Corporation and the Hudson’s Bay Company, took place in locations as diverse as the Canadian Prairies, the Dutch polders, and the Amazonian rainforests. This novel contribution evaluates a diverse range of these initiatives.By 1900, any land that remained available for agricultural settlement was often far from the settlers’ homes and located in challenging physical environments. Over the course of the twentieth century, governments, corporations and frequently desperate individuals sought out new places to settle across the globe from Alberta to Papua New Guinea. This book offers vivid reports of the difficulties faced by many of these settlers, including the experiences of East European Jewish refugees, New Zealand soldier settlers and urban families from Yorkshire.This book considers how and why these settlement schemes succeeded, found other pathways to sustainability or succumbed to failure and even oblivion. In doing so, the book indicates pathways for the achievement of more economically, socially and environmentally sustainable forms of human settlement in marginal areas. This engaging collection will be of interest to individuals in the fields of historical geography, environmental history and development studies.

Centré sur les structures féodales rurales, le livre vise à répondre à travers une comparaison internationale à l’échelle du Vieux Continent à quelques grandes questions : – En dépit de l’extrême diversification des formes de la seigneurie, n’y a-t-il pas sur les traits majeurs une certaine uniformité dans toute l’Europe ? – Ne faut-il pas, pour comprendre les ressemblances et différences, faire intervenir dans le jeu paysans-seigneurs trois autres acteurs, l’un direct la noblesse, les deux autres externes : l’État et la ville ? Du même coup, si l’ouvrage de Guy Lemarchand se veut essentiellement un livre d’histoire sociale, il ne peut se couper de l’énoncé de certaines grandes données économiques et démographiques dont le poids effectif doit être discuté. De là toute une série de questions supplémentaires : – La grande question du « pourquoi la liberté paysanne à l’Ouest, le servage à l’Est ? », peut-elle être résolue en s’en tenant à l’histoire nationale de chaque État ? Pourquoi seulement « une féodalité naissante au Sud-Est » ? – Quelles sont les raisons de la vague d’abolition de la féodalité qui parcourt l’Europe de 1760 à 1860 et quelle est la validité du couple théorique « révolution par le bas » et « révolution par le haut » ? Quel est alors le rôle de la Révolution française et du grand Empire napoléonien dans l’évolution européenne ? Au simple énoncé de ces interrogations, on comprendra toute l’ambition de l’ouvrage de Guy Lemarchand.

La Bretagne ducale illustre l'ambiguïté d'une grande principauté, quasi rivale du royaume, et d'un prince qui se voudrait roi et qui s'arroge maint attribut de la souveraineté. Mais ailleurs, de I'Empire germanique à la péninsule ibérique, des principautés françaises au Milanais, surgissent des questions autour du thème fondamental du pouvoir, de ses fins et de ses moyens. Idéologie, hommes et finances, lignage, pays et peuple, image que veut donner le prince par ses tenues et ses résidences, rapports avec ses sujets, ses villes, sa noblesse et ses clercs, tels sont quelques-uns des points de vue que l'on trouvera présentés dans cet ouvrage. S'il n'est d'histoire que d'histoire de l'homme, dans sa chair comme dans ses comportements, le thème du prince et de son pouvoir dépasse de loin la sécheresse toute descriptive d'une histoire institutionnelle, pour devenir celle d'un homme mû tout entier par une ambition qu'il se doit de satisfaire au sein d'un « pays » et d'un peuple, qui lui en accordent ou non les moyens. Dépourvu de tout signe sacré et de tout attribut de souveraineté, le prince médiéval est le plus souvent étranger à la genèse monarchique de l'État moderne.
