NEW IN PAPERBACK A Revolution in Three Acts
The Radical Vaudeville of Bert Williams, Eva Tanguay, and Julian Eltinge David Hajdu and John Carey Foreword by Michele Wallace
Bert Williams—a Black man forced to perform in blackface who challenged the stereotypes of minstrelsy. Eva Tanguay—an entertainer with the signature song “I Don’t Care” who flouted the rules of propriety to redefine womanhood for the modern age. Julian Eltinge—a female impersonator who entranced and unnerved audiences by embodying the feminine ideal Tanguay rejected. A Revolution in Three Acts explores how these vaudeville stars changed how their audiences thought about what it meant to be American, to be Black, to be a woman or a man. Albert O. Hirschman
An Intellectual Biography Michele Alacevich

Alacevich examines Hirschman’s pioneering work in development studies; his analyses of social change, the history of capitalism, and the workings of democracy; and his activities in the postwar reconstruction of Europe and economic development in Latin America.
