SUMMARY:The Politics of Rights and The 1911 Revolution in China\, a talk by Xiaowei Zheng
DESCRIPTION:The Workshop Theoretical Perspectives on War\, Political Violence\, Nationalism\, and the State (His 291) is pleased to present Xiaowei Zheng\, Associate Professor of History and East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies at UCSB\, who will speak about her forthcoming book with Stanford University Press\, The Politics of Rights and the 1911 Revolution in China.  The appointment is Friday May 19th from 3:00 to 4:30 pm\, in HSSB 3001E. \nProfessor Zheng’s presentation will focus on her books’ introduction and conclusions\, which can downloaded from the following links:  Zheng Introduction_coded_ED Feb 3 2017\, Zheng Conclusion_coded_ED Feb 3 2017 \nChina’s 1911 Revolution was a momentous political transformation. Its leaders\, however\, were not rebellious troublemakers on the periphery of imperial order. On the contrary\, they were a powerful political and economic elite deeply entrenched in local society and well-respected both for their imperially sanctioned cultural credentials and for their mastery of new ideas. The revolution they spearheaded produced a new\, democratic political culture that enshrined national sovereignty\, constitutionalism\, and the rights of the people as indisputable principles. Based upon previously untapped Qing and Republican sources\, The Politics of Rights and the 1911 Revolution in China is a nuanced and colorful chronicle of the revolution as it occurred in local and regional areas. Xiaowei Zheng explores the ideas that motivated the revolution\, the popularization of those ideas\, and their animating impact on the Chinese people at large. The focus of the book is not on the success or failure of the revolution\, but rather on the transformative effect that revolution has on people and what they learn from it. \nFor questions about this event please contact Prof. Cecilia Méndez at mendez@history.ucsb.edu.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Isabella Gabrovsky on "Rethinking Britain" and Mario Tumen on "Decolonization of Taxation in Peru"
DESCRIPTION:The Workshop on Theoretical Perspectives on War\, Political Violence\, Nationalism and the State (History 291)  is pleased to invite you to its final open presentation and discussion this Friday May 26 from 3:00 to 5:30 pm  in HSSB 4020.  Two graduate students\, Isabella Gabrovsky and Mario Tumen\, will be presenting their work in progress on Britain and Peru. Please\, join the conversation. Their papers can be downloaded from the links below.  Everybody is welcome! \n“Rethinking Britain: An English identity Crisis in the Era of Devolution.” \nBy Isabella Gabrovsky. PhD student\, Political Science Department\, UCSB. \nThis paper (Gabrovsky Rethinking Britain rev) seeks to explore the rise of nationalist movements in the UK\, how they differfrom the global rise of the far-right\, and what changes in Westminster we might expect as a result. While the leftist Scottish National Party surged to become the second largest party in the UK\, there has been a rise of right-wing nationalist groups in England such as the UK Independence Party. Analysis of historical context will shed light on how these two diametrically opposed political ideologies expanded simultaneously. This is seen in the psephological maps of the 2015 General Election and the Brexit referendum. The current political climate in the UK\, where two separate nationalist movements are in power\, is unprecedented and more importantly\, unsustainable. The policies that arise during this time will determine not only what role the UK will play on a global stage\, but also\, if the UK will exist as a unitary state in the near future. There is a significant gap in the current political literature deconstructing the motivations behind these nationalist movements. This paper will address that void\, asses the potential political ramifications\, and provide possible policy prescriptions. Isabella Gabrovsky currently is a PhD student at UCSB in the Political Science department. She has previously worked in the Scottish Parliament. \n  \n“Decolonization of Taxation: Indigenous Peasants and the Civil War of 1895 in Peru” \nBy Mario Tumen. PhD student\, History Department\, UCSB \nBy looking at the civil war\, or the “Revolution of 1895” as it happened in the department of Ancash\, Peru\, this essay ( Tumen\, Decolonization of Taxation) analyzes the role indigenous peasants played in the abolition of the contribución personal\, a tax they had paid since colonial times. Through war\, they exercised their citizenship and influenced the distribution of power within the state. Yet\, the largest peasant insurrection of the nineteenth century\, the Atusparia Rebellion\, had shaken social order in the department ten years before. I argue that resilient efforts to abolish the contribución personal in 8 Ancash date back to 1885 and continued in the period leading up to Revolution of 1895. \nEverybody is welcome\, please spread the word! \n* * Coffee will be served. \nFor questions or comments\, please contact prof. Cecilia Méndez at mendez@history.ucsb.edu
