Volume 113, Number 2. The April issue contains two articles, a review essay, and an AHR Forum. The articles are both variations on a prevalent theme in our pages, transnational history with an imperial accent; the review essay surveys recent literature on European popular politics in the post–World War II era; and the Forum offers an exchange about a recent book dealing with the past and future of the practice of history. Six featured reviews are followed by our extensive book review section.
 
 
AHR 113.2
Cover Illustration: This march with puppets, which took place in Rostock, Germany, in June 2007, was held to protest the Group of Eight (G8) Summit, under way in the nearby city of Heiligendamm. The colorful scene was intended to attract attention to the concerns of the protesters, including environmental and trade issues. While such political demonstrations clearly took place outside as well as within Europe, the Rostock march is representative of informal political protest as it developed in Europe throughout the postwar era. In “What’s Left? Popular Political Participation in Postwar Europe,” Belinda Davis claims that these patterns of popular protest should be better written into the political history of that continent, and that such activity was, over time, critical to the ascendancy of particular “European values.” She notes at the same time that the particularities of postwar European history generated political responses, informally as well as formally, that often represented an uneasy fit with conventional modernist political terminology.
