This sale is up first because it ends on December 8 - Johns Hopkins University Press is 40% with code HHOL24.

A crossroads of commerce, and culture, the Mediterranean world was a place where identities could be explored, remade, challenged. Even by women, during a period where mobility and self-definition were regarded as male prerogatives. _Renegade Women_ by Eric Dursteler tells three stories of women who crossed boundaries, illuminating the complexities of a world too often seen as rigid and tidy.

Next up is the University of Missouri Press, where you get 40% through December 15 with code Holiday24.

Showing yet again why the #Midwest matters.

As @jmccyoung reports, The Jewish Publication Society (distributed by the University of Nebraska Press) is holding their annual #Hannukah sale (40% off) through January 3, 2025 (for US and Canadian orders only) with code 6CH24.

Many great books for those interested in #religion and #Judaism, including books for children.

For those interested in those things + #history, I draw your attention to _The Life of Glückel of Hameln_, a memoir written by a Jewish woman who was a wife, mother, merchant, and prominent member in the Jewish community of seventeenth-century Hamburg. In her autobiography, Glueckel intersperses reflections on her family's strategies, difficulties, and relationships with stories of intolerance, betrayal, and love.

Duke University Press sets itself apart in many ways, including its end-of-year sale. Yes, it's a Fall 🍁 Sale!

40% off most books (super new and forthcoming excluded) with code FALL24 through December 13. (Which according to the solar year, is still Fall, I guess.)

Duke University has extensive lists in #LatinAmerican and European Studies (many interesting titles on #French #history and #CulturalStudies, plus #migration).

My choice is Jennifer Morgan's _Reckoning with Slavery: Gender, Kinship, and Capitalism in the Early Black Atlantic_. Winner of the Frederick Douglass Book Prize and the Prize in Women's/Gender History from the Organization of American Historians.

Documenting how #slavery in the #AtlanticWorld required both the recognition and the denial of the human-ness of the enslaved, Morgan shows how #capitalism emerged in this "unholy alliance" of quantifying value with classifying difference.
