Book Description
A richly texture portrait of ten generations of Anglo-Saxon strivers compelled by necessity and nurturance to be community builders. Spanning nearly the entirety of American history and touching on nearly every geographical section of the country, The Severances describes in remarkable detail how each successive generation of a family whose arrival on these shores predated America's founding met the challenges of its time and place, built on the sacrifices and gains of forebears, chose to enjoy mounting success, implanted family traditions and beliefs, and endeavored to give something back to society. Inheritors of their Puritan ancestors' ambition of creating a model żcity upon a hill,ż the Cleveland branch of the family assembled one of 19th-century America's impressive fortunes and made their name locally synonymous with outsized philanthropic gestures, most notably the Depression-era gift to the people of Cleveland of Severance Hall, the magnificent home of The Cleveland Orchestra.

Book Description
The "Maratha period" of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when an independent Maratha state successfully resisted the Mughals, is a defining era in the history of the region of Maharashtra in western India. In this book, Prachi Deshpande considers the importance of this period for a variety of political projects including anticolonial/Hindu nationalism and the non-Brahman movement, as well as popular debates throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries concerning the meaning of tradition, culture, and the experience of colonialism and modernity. Sampling from a rich body of literary and cultural sources, Deshpande highlights shifts in history writing in early modern and modern India and the deep connections between historical and literary narratives. She traces the reproduction of the Maratha period in various genres and public arenas, its incorporation into regional political symbolism, and its centrality to the making of a modern Marathi regional consciousness. She also shows how historical memory provided a space for Indians to negotiate among their national, religious, and regional identities, pointing to history's deeper potential in shaping politics within thoroughly diverse societies. A truly unique study, Creative Pasts examines the practices of historiography and popular memory within a particular colonial context, and illuminates the impact of colonialism on colonized societies and cultures. Furthermore, it shows how modern history and historical memory are jointly created through the interplay of cultural activities, power structures, and political rhetoric.
