and prices in the grain markets. Instead, the author seems content to point out how, in the first half of the sixteenth century, this type of insurgency increased in frequency and intensity compared to his previous late medieval survey. The arithmetic balance between convergences and differences from late medieval popular protests seems to favour the former (p. 177). Cities continued to be the main site of revolts, and their leaders continued to be from popular or at least nonaristocratic backgrounds. The goal of most of the protests was not religious but political: to obtain a hearing or even representation in order to influence the financial, economic, and management decisions of the city, with particular regard to the hegemonic role of the nobility, the management of taxes, and food resources. This was sometimes at the cost of invoking the intervention of foreign powers and the enemy. Women and the merchant class played a new and more important role there, and protests were more keenly felt and conducted with greater awareness and strategic capacity. Compared to the premodern model of popular protest drawn by academics, according to which popular uprisings before the nineteenth century were almost always caused by subsistence crises, had leaders who came from the upper classes, and resulted exclusively in failure, Cohn identifies a significantly higher degree of political awareness, strategic autonomy, and success. The author’s final chapter is likely to be the one most debated; it is one with which I substantially agree. The underlying instance of the popular protests in the halfcentury of the Italian wars reveals a perhaps only barely conscious demand for the enlargement of power, through which they revived “the ideals and democratic practices of the communal period”. The growth of aristocratic regimes in this period nullified any possibility of realizing such ideals, yet the ideas of broader political representativeness and the morality of social and political equality, thanks in part to these protests, continued to work their way deep into European societies. They were not an invention of the nineteenth century, and its antecedents should not be sought solely in the age of revolutions.

above all the role that, through personal and political relationships, the ICW inherited from the AFUW and its idea of women’s rights, especially at the level of couples and families. On the other hand, the chapter demonstrates how, from 1960 onwards, the WIDF was increasingly oriented towards emphasizing the claims of African women, mostly throughWomen of the Whole World, which hosted articles by African activists about daily life, family responsibilities, and militancy, as exemplified in the case of Sira Diop (p. 265). The author also stresses the commitment of African women at the transnational level, in the African–Asian women’s conference (Cairo, December 1960), and in the construction of the pan-African women’s union, renamed the Pan-African Women’s Organization (PAWO) in 1974. This book is of great value for historians on women’s movements across national borders and will inspire scholars to study the Cold War period and anti-colonialism from the perspective of French and African women’s politics. The balance between the individual trajectories of women and the collective histories of groups and associations also stands out, offering avenues for research into the points of contact and ambivalence in the political biographies of individual activists and in collective groups. What is missing, in my opinion, is also the main innovation in the field of research on women’s activism. The author does not contextualize the politics of women’s groups in the political landscape of existing parties. The lack of contextualization does not mean ignorance of political parties on the part of the author; for instance, the documentary references also cover the PCF (Archives départementales de la Seine-Saint-Denis, Bobigny) and the RDA (Archives nationales du Sénégal). However, the starting point of the research seems not to be the derivation or the more or less strong connection of women’s groups with existing political parties, but the relationship between forms of women’s activism in a context of colonialism and anti-colonialism. This approach allows for a transnational perspective – in line with the postcolonial, decolonial, and Afro-feminist literature of recent decades – not only because the author studies more than one national context, but also because she does not confine individual biographies or group histories within the interpretation of a national case nor, indeed, within the context of the link to a political party.

Abstract Histories of feminism in the past three decades have focused on the debate between equal rights and separate spheres, but have been less attentive to the many strands of socialist feminisms, which sought to build bridges between the women's movement and other social movements for freedom, equality and justice. Dorothy Sue Cobble addresses this gap, exploring the lives and works of social democratic women activists in relation to the equal rights versus separate rights debate. Reflecting the “global turn”, Cobble explores many transnational connections. Picking up on these two themes – socialist feminism and global networks – I focus on the South Asian case.

one characterize this post-postcolonial period? The author barely touches upon this vast question in the conclusion, though admittedly doing so was certainly not the main purpose of the book. Second-Generation Liberation Wars will be of interest to comparativists studying post-colonial conflicts, but also to scholars interested in successor states, international relations, and the meaning of liberation politics in the Global South. However, experts working on Southern Sudan and Iraq will find no new historical elements: the book relies mostly on well-known secondary sources, something the author is transparent about in the introduction. Methodologically, the research demonstrates how relevant in-depth case studies are in comparative politics and how in-depth inductive research can generate valid generalizations. To that extent it is surprising to read that the author insists the book is not a comparative project.
