    The first English translation of a Kalmyk epic nearly lost to history. This is the first English translation of Jangar, the heroic epic of the Kalmyk nomads, who are the Western Mongols of Genghis Khan’s medieval empire in Europe. Today, Kalmykia is situated in the territory that was once the Golden Horde, founded by the son of Genghis Khan, Juchi. Although their famed khanates and cities have long since disappeared under the sands of the Great Eurasian Steppe, the Kalmyks have witnessed, memorized, and orally transmitted some of the most transformative developments, both victorious and tragic, in the history of civilizations. A tribute to the protectors of the mythical country Bumba, Jangar reflects the hopes and aspirations of the Kalmyk people as well as their centuries-long struggle for their cultural existence. This new English translation is more than a tribute to the artistic creativity and imagination of the Kalmykian people—it is also an important step in their struggle for cultural survival. It was only after centuries of oral transmission that the songs and stories surrounding Jangar were written down. When the first translation, into Russian, finally appeared, Stalin had the entire Kalmyk population deported to Siberia and ordered that their national literature be eliminated from the published world. This Soviet repression has had enormous consequences for world literature, silencing nomadic voices and keeping hidden their distinctive contributions. Making Jangar available in English is a landmark event, bringing a lost classic to the world’s attention and restoring the voices of an almost-erased tradition at the heart of the history of Eurasia

    This paper uses a new dataset on the universe of Canadian imports and tariffs between 1924 and 1936, disaggregated into 1697 goods originating in 112 countries, to analyse the impact on Canadian imports of interwar Canadian trade policy, including the 1932 Ottawa trade agreements. Rather than use a dummy variable approach, we compute the impact of individual tariffs which varied substantially across goods, trade partners, and time. We develop a novel method of controlling for multilateral resistances in the context of a one-country dataset, and perform a variety of counterfactual exercises to determine the impact of tariffs on trade flows. The overall impact of post-1929 tariff shifts, including the 1932 agreements, was relatively small, reflecting the fact that Canadian trade policy was already highly protectionist: trade agreements can have heterogenous effects on participants because the shocks involved are different. Compared with a free trade counterfactual, the impact of the overall structure of protection on the level and composition of trade was large.

    Daniel is a book concerned about living in and under imperial rule, whether it be following Daniel’s exploits in court tales or envisioning the end of empire in dreams. At the same time, Daniel is also about bodies—human and animal, divine and earthly, real and imagined. The variety of bodies mirrors what Cary Wolfe dubs a “species grid” (Wolfe and Elmer, 2003), which categorizes bodies from the fully realized subject of the “humanized human” to the “animalized human” and the “humanized animal” and, finally, the objectified “animalized animal.” This article uses and adapts this grid to chart the power of animals, humans, and the divine in Daniel. The result is that we can see more clearly how Daniel transitioned from an earlier Deuteronomistic theology that understood humans as the cause of divine reward and punishment to an apocalyptic worldview that removed power from human hands entirely.

    Scholars have widely recognized the colonial setting of the Book of Jonah, which includes the ambiguity of speaking of an Assyrian Empire that is long gone. The imperial setting of this book, moreover, has led interpreters to speak from their own place. For instance, in his postcolonial reading of Jonah, Chesung Justin Ryu reads Jonah in terms of his South Korean context, which continues to harbor deep wounds from being colonized by Japan. The harm done by colonizers long gone can thus be said to extend over many generations, as future generations inevitably have to deal with the effects of colonialism. In conversation with contemporary literary trauma theory, I consider this intersection of trauma and colonialism associated with the Book of Jonah and, furthermore, explore the way in which literature, and specifically narratives, may offer a safe space for working through trauma—one could say to face the colonizer, both real and imagined. Read in this way, the Book of Jonah may be viewed as a symbolic trauma narrative that is shaped by its imperial context but also in distinctive ways seeks to come to terms with the trauma wrought by a succession of empires.

    A history of three transnational political projects designed to overcome the inequities of imperialismAfter the dissolution of empires, was the nation-state the only way to unite people politically, culturally, and economically? In Post-Imperial Possibilities, historians Jane Burbank and Frederick Cooper examine three large-scale, transcontinental projects aimed at bringing together peoples of different regions to mitigate imperial legacies of inequality. Eurasia, Eurafrica, and Afroasia-in theory if not in practice-offered alternative routes out of empire.The theory of Eurasianism was developed after the collapse of imperial Russia by exiled intellectuals alienated by both Western imperialism and communism. Eurafrica began as a design for collaborative European exploitation of Africa but was transformed in the 1940s and 1950s into a project to include France's African territories in plans for European integration. The Afroasian movement wanted to replace the vertical relationship of colonizer and colonized with a horizontal relationship among former colonial territories that could challenge both the communist and capitalist worlds.Both Eurafrica and Afroasia floundered, victims of old and new vested interests. But Eurasia revived in the 1990s, when Russian intellectuals turned the theory's attack on Western hegemony into a recipe for the restoration of Russian imperial power. While both the system of purportedly sovereign states and the concentrated might of large economic and political institutions continue to frustrate projects to overcome inequities in welfare and power, Burbank and Cooper's study of political imagination explores wide-ranging concepts of social affiliation and obligation that emerged after empire and the reasons for their unlike destinies
