The article reviews the book "Revolution on Paper: Mexican Prints 1910-1960," by Dawn Adès and Alison McClean and edited by Mark McDonald.

Wang Yanhong (zi Cihui , 1593-1642) was active in the last decades of the Ming. Because of his particular interest in representing erotic and amorous experiences with women in rich and sensual detail, his poetry was controversial and condemned by those who upheld a Confucian poetics in which poetry was meant to express the poet's moral intentions and social criticism. This paper is the first attempt to translate Wang's poems into English and to closely examine them in the contexts of Chinese poetic tradition and late Ming literati culture. I argue that his 'decadent' aestheticization of his amorous and emotional experiences with women was related to his identity as a 'loser' who failed in the civil service examinations but sought in writing poetry an alternative path of self-realization. His poetics served to fulfill his ambition to become a poet of extraordinary creativity and aestheticism, even as it reveals his sense of self as an 'invalid' member of his society.

This article reviews a book edited by Olev Liivik and Hiljar Tammela comprising ten articles -- all based on papers presented at a 2009 conference held at the Estonian History Museum -- that examine the mass deportation of Estonian citizens by Soviet troops in March 1945. Based on recently discovered archival documents and the latest research, the authors discuss all facets of the mass deportation of some 20,000 Estonians, three-quarters of whom were women and children. Topics include the Estonian Communist Party's cooperation in the event, subsequent emotional problems of males due to guilt, Soviet planning of and preparations for the event, and transportation in cattle cars to two of the deportation camps in Siberia.

In this review of "Diffuziia evropeiskikh innovatsii v Rossiiskoi imperii: Materialy vserossiiskoi nauchnoi konferentsii, Ekaterinburg, 10-11 noiabria 2009g." (The diffusion of European innovation in the Russian Empire: Papers from the All-Russian Research Conference in Ekaterinburg, November 10-11, 2009. Ed. E.V. Alekseev), Aleksandr Kamenskii explains that the term "diffusionism," originating with the German ethnologist Fritz Graebner, is used by the different authors in the collection to refer to various manifestations of influence from one culture to another. As Kamenskii points out, the presenters at the Ekaterinburg conference used a variety of approaches to the question of how Western culture has informed socio-cultural developments in Russia, and the result is a lack of coherence, an overly broad scope of analysis, inconsistent use of terminology, and even fundamental disagreements on methodology and essential questions from one essay to the next. Kamenskii also takes issue with a number of facts and assertions appearing in several of the essays. [ABSTRACT FROM CONTRIBUTOR]
