Historians reflect on photographs from the Civil War “The pioneering cameramen of the Civil War wrought shocking images that stir and haunt us still. Lens of War is likewise groundbreaking, an album of essays that mines 1860s photographs for new insight into the war and its memory. Images I’ve stared at since boyhood—and others I’d never seen—come into fresh focus through the scholarly yet personal gaze of leading historians. This revelatory and highly readable book will captivate new and longtime students of the Civil War alike.”—Tony Horwitz, author of Confederates in the Attic and Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid That Sparked the Civil War “This book changes the way we see the American Civil War. By looking intently at photographs—some familiar and some rarely seen—these expert interpreters reveal aspects of the war visible in no other way. The elegant essays, like the images they examine, are windows into fascinating lives.”—Edward L. Ayers, President, University of Richmond

Lens of War grew out of an invitation to leading historians of the Civil War to select and reflect upon a single photograph. Each could choose any image and interpret it in personal and scholarly terms. The result is a remarkable set of essays by twenty-seven scholars whose numerous volumes on the Civil War have explored military, cultural, political, African American, women’s, and environmental history. The essays describe a wide array of photographs and present an eclectic approach to the assignment, organized by topic: Leaders, Soldiers, Civilians, Victims, and Places. Readers will rediscover familiar photographs and figures examined in unfamiliar ways, as well as discover little-known photographs
that afford intriguing perspectives. All the images are reproduced with exquisite care. Readers fascinated by the Civil War will want this unique book on their shelves, and lovers of photography will value the images and the creative, evocative reflections offered in these essays.

the cruel country Judith Ortiz Cofer
A writer’s journey deep into the cruel country of bereavement “Judith Ortiz Cofer has done it again: let us into her life and her heart, brilliantly. A must-read for anyone who has lost a parent or straddled two cultures, The Cruel Country is a wise and generous memoir of exile, love, and homecoming.”—Joy Castro, author of Island of Bones “How do we deal with loss? What motivates us to reflect on transience? Judith Ortiz Cofer offers some answers in her marvelous disquisition on pain in this, her best book.”—Ilan Stavans, author of On Borrowed Words and editor of The Norton Anthology of Latino Literature
“I am learning the alchemy of grief—how it must be carefully measured and doled out, inflicted—but I have not yet mastered this art,” writes Judith Ortiz Cofer in The Cruel Country. This richly textured, deeply moving, lyrical memoir centers on Cofer’s return to her native Puerto Rico after her mother has been diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer. Cofer’s work has always drawn strength from her life’s contradictions and dualities, such as the necessities and demands of both English and Spanish, her travels between and within various mainland and island subcultures, and the challenges of being a Latina living in the U.S. South. Interlaced with these far-from-common tensions are dualities we
all share: our lives as both sacred and profane, our negotiation of both child and adult roles, our desires to be the person who belongs and also the person who is different. What we discover in The Cruel Country is how much Cofer has heretofore held back in her vivid and compelling writing. This journey to her mother’s deathbed has released her to tell the truth within the truth. She arrives at her mother’s bedside as a daughter overcome by grief, but she navigates this cruel country as a writer—an acute observer of detail, a relentless and insistent questioner.

alone atop the hill The Autobiography of Alice Dunnigan, Pioneer of the National Black Press Edited by Carol McCabe Booker Foreword by Simeon Booker
The powerful life and times of the first black woman to break into the national press corps in Washington, D.C. “Alone Atop the Hill is a poignant and revealing account of Alice Dunnigan’s life from her childhood in rural poverty to her adulthood in education and journalism. The narrative casts valuable light on the politics of race prior to the emergence of the civil rights movement. From start to finish I was drawn into Dunnigan’s stories, both personal and political.” —Eric Arnesen, professor of history, George Washington University “Thanks to Carol Booker for bringing to light this marvelously documented life of Alice Dunnigan, who shattered racial and gender barriers as chief of the Associated Negro Press Bureau in Washington. In straightforward prose, Dunnigan gives the reader an unflinching look at how she persevered and how the Negro press kept civil rights before the public through the forties and fifties, preparing the way for when white America began to wake up. This is an honest history of the black experience from a woman whose first-person encounters with Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy, too, lift the curtain and inform our understanding of how race played out then at the highest levels of government.” —Eleanor Clift, Daily Beast correspondent and McLaughlin Group panelist
In 1942 Alice Allison Dunnigan, a sharecropper’s daughter from Kentucky, made her way to the nation’s capitol and a career in journalism that eventually led her to the White House. With Alone atop the Hill, Carol McCabe Booker has condensed Dunnigan’s 1974 self-published autobiography to appeal to a general audience and has added scholarly annotations that provide historical context. Dunnigan’s dynamic story reveals her importance to the fields of journalism, women’s history, and the civil rights movement and creates a compelling portrait of a groundbreaking American. Dunnigan recounts her formative years in rural Kentucky as she struggled for a living, telling bluntly and simply what life was like in a Border State in the first half of the twentieth century. Later she takes readers to Washington,
D.C., where we see her rise from a typist during World War II to a reporter. Ultimately she would become the first black female reporter accredited to the White House; to travel with a U.S. president; credentialed by the House and Senate Press Galleries; accredited to the Department of State and the Supreme Court; voted into the White House Newswomen’s Association and the Women’s National Press Club; and recognized as a Washington sports reporter. A contemporary of Helen Thomas and a forerunner of Ethel Payne, Dunnigan traveled with President Truman on his coast-to-coast, whistle-stop tour; was the first reporter to query President Eisenhower about civil rights; and provided front-page coverage for more than one hundred black newspapers of virtu-
ally every race issue before the Congress, the federal courts, and the presidential administration. Here she provides an uninhibited, unembellished, and unvarnished look at the terrain, the players, and the politics in a roughand-tumble national capital struggling to make its way through a nascent, postwar racial revolution.

the curious mister catesby A “Truly Ingenious” Naturalist Explores New Worlds Edited for the Catesby Commemorative Trust by E. Charles Nelson and David J. Elliott
8 x 11 | 456 pp. 238 color paintings, illustrations, photos, and maps cloth, $49.95s usd/$62.50 cad | 978-0-8203-4726-4 A Wormsloe Foundation Nature Book
The most comprehensive study to date of Mark Catesby, his work, and his continuing impact—includes significant new information discovered by the authors “The Curious Mister Catesby is an absorbing blend of early colonial history in the American Southeast and the Bahamas, with the rich fauna and flora the settlers freshly contained. Catesby emerges as one of the first true naturalists of the New World.”—E. O. Wilson, University Professor Emeritus of Entomology, Harvard University “Mark Catesby, the English naturalist and artist, as well as his considerable accomplishments, is given new life in this well-written, multiauthored account. Emphasis is placed on Catesby’s travels in North America that led to his monumental volumes on the flora and fauna of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahamas. The book is an important addition to the library of the history of the natural history of colonial America.”—William D. Anderson Jr., professor of marine biology, Grice Marine Biological Laboratory, College of Charleston In 1712, English naturalist Mark Catesby (1683–1749) crossed the Atlantic to Virginia. After a seven-year stay, he returned to England with paintings of plants and animals he had studied. They sufficiently impressed other naturalists that in 1722 several Fellows of the Royal Society sponsored his return to North America. There Catesby cataloged the flora and fauna of the Carolinas and the Bahamas by gathering seeds and specimens, compiling notes, and making watercolor sketches. Going home to England after five years, he began the twenty-year task of writing, etching, and publishing his monumental The Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands.
Mark Catesby was a man of exceptional courage and determination combined with insatiable curiosity and multiple talents. Nevertheless no portrait of him is known. The international contributors to this volume review Catesby’s biography alongside the historical and scientific significance of his work. Ultimately, this lavishly illustrated volume advances knowledge of Catesby’s explorations, collections, artwork, and publications in order to reassess his importance within the pantheon of early naturalists.

philip juras: the southern frontier Landscapes Inspired by Bartram’s Travels Paintings by Philip Juras With essays by Dorinda G. Dallmeyer, Philip Juras, and Holly Koons McCullough Foreword by Steven High Reflection by Janisse Ray
11 x 9 | 128 pp. 101 color illustrations, 3 b&w illustrations, 1 map paper with flaps, $32.95t usd/$40.95 cad | 978-0-8203-4797-4 Published with the generous support of Mr. and Mrs. Craig Barrow III, The Wormsloe Foundation, and Georgia Sea Grant
Landscapes that offer a glimpse of the Southeast before European settlement “If I could live inside Juras’s paintings, I would. Surrounded by flora and fauna, light and darkness, the weather. Enlightened. In touch with God. Inside God’s hand.”—Janisse Ray, from the book “Works that are grand in scope but intimate in their attention to even a single blade of grass.”—Garden & Gun “Knowing what has been lost, we might be tempted to wallow in nostalgia for the long-gone world Bartram describes. Instead, reading the great gift of Bartram’s words and viewing these landscapes by Philip Juras should heighten our commitment to saving what remains.” —Dorinda G. Dallmeyer, from the book “Philip Juras can see ghosts. Not the wandering spirits of people long gone, but the ancient landscapes of the Southeast—the forests and plains and marshes—as they appeared before civilization changed everything.”—Augusta Chronicle
These stunning reproductions of more than sixty oil paintings by landscape artist Philip Juras offer a glimpse of the pre-European settlement southern wilderness as late eighteenth-century naturalist William Bartram would have experienced it during his famed travels through the region. Juras spent years researching Bartram and revisiting important sites the naturalist wrote about in his celebrated Travels. The paintings combine
direct observation with historical, scientific, and natural history research to depict, and in some cases reimagine, landscapes as they appeared in the 1770s. Juras’s work explores many of the important and imperiled ecosystems that remain in the South today. These little-known, remnant natural communities are further illuminated by essays placing them in the context of Bartram’s legacy and the American landscape
movement. Here is a rare glimpse of the southern frontier before it was irrevocably altered by European settlement.
philip juras, a native of Augusta, Georgia, received a BFA and a master’s degree in landscape architecture from the University of Georgia. He lives in Athens, Georgia.

the southern foodways alliance community cookbook Edited by Sara Roahen and John T. Edge Foreword by Alton Brown
7.5 x 9.5 | 296 pp. 12 figures sprial bound paper, $24.95t usd/$30.95 cad | 978-0-8203-4858-2 Published in association with the Southern Foodways Alliance at the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi
Local recipes from the worldly South “It’s as much Americana as cookbook, an effort to preserve a vanishing part of our culture. Either way, it’s an instant classic.”—Time “The Southern Foodways Alliance Community Cookbook is a tribute to standards of the Southern table as well as a showcase for the delicious handiwork of some notable contemporary chefs.”—Atlanta Journal-Constitution “So why are we excited about yet another Southern cookbook? By sourcing recipes from spiral-bound community cookbooks and then testing and adapting them for modern kitchens, this collection of recipes has the potential to become the standard reference on the topic. Add to that the research power of the Southern Foodways Alliance and its director John T. Edge, and this book could be unstoppable.”—Eater.com
Everybody has one in their collection. You know—those old, spiral- or plastic-toothbound cookbooks sold to support a high school marching band, a church, or the local chapter of the Junior League. These recipe collections reflect, with unimpeachable authenticity, the dishes that define communities: chicken and dumplings, macaroni and cheese, chess pie. When the Southern Foodways Alliance began curating a cookbook, these spiral-bound, sauce-splattered pages served as a model. Now in paperback for the first time and including more than 170 tested recipes, this cookbook is a true reflection of southern foodways and the people, regardless of residence or birthplace, who claim this food as their own. Traditional and adapted, fancy and unapologetically plain, these recipes are
powerful expressions of collective identity. There is something from—and something for—everyone. The recipes and the stories that accompany them came from academics, writers, catfish farmers, ham curers, attorneys, toqued chefs, and people who just like to cook—spiritual southerners of myriad ethnicities, origins, and culinary skill levels. Edited by Sara Roahen and John T. Edge and written collaboratively by Sheri Castle, Timothy C. Davis, April McGreger, Angie Mosier, and Fred Sauceman, the book is divided into chapters that represent the region’s iconic foods: Gravy, Garden Goods, Roots, Greens, Rice, Grist, Yardbird, Pig, The Hook, The Hunt, Put Up, and Cane. Herein you’ll find recipes for pimento cheese, country ham with redeye gravy, tomato pie, oyster
stew, gumbo z’herbes, and apple stack cake. You’ll learn traditional ways of preserving green beans, and you’ll come to love refried black-eyed peas.

to live and dine in dixie The Evolution of Urban Food Culture in the Jim Crow South Angela Jill Cooley
How cultural notions contributed to the racial segregation of cafés and restaurants in the American South “I cannot overstate how useful it is that Cooley is trained both as a cultural historian and as a lawyer. The richness of analysis in To Live and Dine in Dixie comes from the interplay of methodologies from both fields. Few other scholars can bring such research tools to the subject.”—Elizabeth Engelhardt, author of A Mess of Greens: Southern Gender and Southern Food “To Live and Dine in Dixie is an important addition to the canon of southern history and food studies.”—Marcie Cohen Ferris, author of T he Edible South: The Power of Food and the Making of an American Region
This book explores the changing food culture of the urban American South during the Jim Crow era by examining how race, ethnicity, class, and gender contributed to the development and maintenance of racial segregation in public eating places. Focusing primarily on the 1900s to the 1960s, Angela Jill Cooley identifies the cultural differences between activists who saw public eating places like urban lunch counters as sites of political participation and believed access to such spaces a right of citizenship, and white supremacists who interpreted desegregation as a challenge to property rights and advocated local control over racial issues.
Significant legal changes occurred across this period as the federal government sided at first with the white supremacists but later supported the unprecedented progress of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which—among other things—required desegregation of the nation’s restaurants. Because the culture of white supremacy that contributed to racial segregation in public accommodations began in the white southern home, Cooley also explores domestic eating practices in nascent southern cities and reveals how the most private of activities—cooking and dining— became a cause for public concern from the meeting rooms of local women’s clubs to the halls of the U.S. Congress.

sor of history at Minnesota State University, Mankato. She has a PhD from the University of Alabama and a JD from the George Washington University Law School.

marsh mud and mummichogs An Intimate Natural History of Coastal Georgia Evelyn B. Sherr
An invitingly readable guided tour of the flora, fauna, and landscape of the distinctive Georgia coast “Marsh Mud and Mummichogs is a motivating introduction to the natural history of coastal Georgia. It is perhaps the most in-depth yet friendly natural history that I have ever read, and the scope will expand the knowledge and understanding of everyone with an interest in the coast.”—Clay L. Montague, Associate Professor Emeritus of Ecology, University of Florida
“This book,” writes marine biologist Evelyn B. Sherr, “is meant to give others an understanding of the fascinating life of the region, from the smallest creatures in marsh mud and estuarine water, to the mummichogs and multitudes of other animals that find food and shelter in the vast expanses of marsh grass, in the sounds, and along the beaches of the Georgia Isles.” Sherr not only spent years doing research in coastal Georgia, she began her family there. Although Sherr’s career would take her around the world, this special place stuck with her. Here she shares her deep knowledge of the remarkable environment that she, her scientist husband, and their two children explored time and again.
Dr. Sherr is the ideal companion with whom to discover coastal Georgia. She points out its swimming, running, flying, drifting, and wriggling wildlife—and tells how it all exists in balance in a landscape subject to its own daily ebbs and flows, its own seasonal cycles. As we learn about Georgia’s distinctive intertidal salt marshes, subtidal estuaries, and open beaches and dunes, Sherr reveals the creatures that support—and are supported by—these habitats: the microbes in estuarine water and in marsh mud; the zooplankton swarming in the tidal rivers and sounds; and numerous fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
This engaging and curiosity-rousing book blends scientific fact with a timely conservation message and anecdotes of a family’s encounters with nature.
evelyn b. sherr, an emeritus professor
of oceanic and atmospheric sciences at Oregon State University, has published widely in the fields of ocean ecology and biogeochemistry. She was a research scientist at the University of Georgia Marine Institute from 1974 to 1990.

coming to pass Florida’s Coastal Islands in a Gulf of Change Susan Cerulean
A moving, personal look at a fragile landscape “In Coming to Pass, Susan Cerulean shows us the Florida coastal system with passion and insight. But she also has a lovely presence on the page—the kind of which I never tire. It’s easy to see why she so loves that landscape and seascape, because she brings them so alive.”—Jan DeBlieu, author of Wind: How the Flow of Air Has Shaped Life, Myth, and the Land, winner of the John Burroughs Medal for distinguished natural history writing “Sad, hopeful, earthly. Sue Cerulean’s memories of sea and shore touch off a range of emotions. The eloquence of her words enthralls, and we should heed them. They belong to an unassailable voice that has long called for honoring life that gives us ours. Hers is the voice of our time and destiny.” —Jack E. Davis, author of An Everglades Providence: Marjory Stoneman Douglas and the American Environmental Century
Coming to Pass tells the story of a littledeveloped necklace of northern Gulf Coast islands. Both a field guide to a beloved and impermanent Florida landscape and a call for its protection, Susan Cerulean’s memoir chronicles the uniquely beautiful coast as it once was, as it is now, and as it may be as the sea level rises. For decades, Cerulean has kayaked, hiked, and counted birds on and around Dog, the St. Georges, and St. Vincent Islands with family and friends. She has collected scallops, snorkeled over a fallen lighthouse a mile offshore, and cast nets and fishing lines into cyclical runs of mullet and shrimp.
Like most people, she didn’t know how the islands had come to be or understand the large-scale change coming to the coast. With her husband, oceanographer Jeff Chanton, she studied the genesis of the coast and its inextricable link to the Apalachicola River. She interviewed scientists as they tracked and tallied magnificent and dwindling sea turtles, snowy white beach mice, and endangered plants. Illustrated with images from prizewinning nature photographer David Moynahan, Coming to Pass is the culmination of Cerulean’s explorations and a reflection of our spiritual relationship and responsibilities to the world that holds us.
susan cerulean is a writer, naturalist, and
activist based in Tallahassee, Florida. Her nature memoir Tracking Desire: A Journey after Swallow-tailed Kites (Georgia) was named an Editors’ Choice title by Audubon magazine. Her many other books include UnspOILed: Writers Speak for Florida’s Coast, coedited with Janisse Ray and A.

the three governors controversy Skullduggery, Machinations, and the Decline of Georgia’s Progressive Politics Charles S. Bullock III, Scott E. Buchanan, and Ronald Keith Gaddie
A rousing account of a watershed event in American politics “The Three Governors Controversy is a compelling narrative of the widespread notoriety engendered by Georgia’s 1946 election and its aftermath. This history reveals the underlying conflicts of the succession battle by bringing together a careful analysis of the politics of the period with an array of popular and scholarly accounts.” —Timothy J. Crimmins, coauthor of Democracy Restored: A History of the Georgia State Capitol “At last we have a comprehensive analysis of one of the most colorful episodes in the rich annals of southern political history. Bullock, Buchanan, and Gaddie have succeeded not only in telling an oft-told tale from a fresh yet still thoroughly engaging perspective but also in sorting out its various immediate and long-term implications. This book will be essential reading for scholars and simply irresistible to southern politics junkies.”—James C. Cobb, Spalding Distinguished Professor, Department of History, University of Georgia
The death of Georgia governor-elect Eugene Talmadge in late 1946 launched a constitutional crisis that ranks as one of the most unusual political events in U.S. history: the state had three active governors at once, each claiming that he was the true elected official. This is the first full-length examination of that episode, which wasn’t just a crazy quirk of Georgia politics (though it was that) but the decisive battle in a struggle between the state’s progressive and rustic forces that had continued since the onset of the Great Depression. In 1946, rural forces aided by the county unit system, Jim Crow intimidation
of black voters, and the Talmadge machine’s “loyal 100,000” voters united to claim the governorship. In the aftermath, progressive political forces in Georgia would shrink into obscurity for the better part of a generation. In this volume is the story of how the political, governmental, and Jim Crow social institutions not only defeated Georgia’s progressive forces but forestalled their effectiveness for a decade and a half.

empty sleeves Amputation in the Civil War South Brian Craig Miller
How amputation influenced definitions of manhood, allowing dependency to be recognized as part of southern masculinity
The Civil War acted like a battering ram on human beings, shattering both flesh and psyche of thousands of soldiers. Despite popular perception that doctors recklessly erred on the side of amputation, surgeons labored mightily to adjust to the medical quagmire of war. And as Brian Craig Miller shows in Empty Sleeves, the hospital emerged as the first arena where southerners faced the stark reality of what amputation would mean for men and women and their respective positions in southern society after the war. Thus, southern women, through nursing and benevolent care, prepared men for the challenges of returning home defeated and disabled.
Still, amputation was a stark fact for many soldiers. On their return, southern amputees remained dependent on their spouses, peers, and dilapidated state governments to reconstruct their shattered manhood and meet the challenges brought on by their newfound disabilities. It was in this context that Confederate patients based their medical care decisions on how comrades, families, and society would view the empty sleeve. In this highly original and deeply researched work, Miller explores the ramifications of amputation on the Confederacy both during and after the Civil War and sheds light on how dependency and disability reshaped southern society.

eighty-eight years The Long Death of Slavery in the United States, 1777–1865 Patrick Rael
A fresh look at the demise of slavery in the United States and why it took longer here than anywhere else in the Atlantic world “Patrick Rael’s elegant prose wisely tells this narrative from a number of perspectives. Like all smart social historians, Rael understands that power cannot be ignored, and politicians on both sides of the Civil War are given voice in this important work.”—Douglas R. Egerton, author of Year of Meteors: Stephen Douglas, Abraham Lincoln, and the Election that Brought on the Civil War
Why did it take so long to end slavery in the United States, and what did it mean that the nation existed eighty-eight years as a “house divided against itself,” as Abraham Lincoln put it? The decline of slavery throughout the Atlantic world was a protracted affair, says Patrick Rael, but no other nation endured anything like the United States. Here the process took from 1777, when Vermont wrote slavery out of its state constitution, to 1865, when the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery nationwide. Rael immerses readers in the mix of social, geographic, economic, and political factors that shaped this unique American experience. He not only takes a far longer view of
slavery’s demise than do those who date it to the rise of abolitionism in 1831, he also places it in a broader Atlantic context. We see how slavery ended variously by consent or force across time and place and how views on slavery evolved differently between the centers of European power and their colonial peripheries—some of which would become power centers themselves. Rael shows how African Americans played the central role in ending slavery in the United States. Fueled by new Revolutionary ideals of self-rule and universal equality—and on their own or alongside abolitionists—both slaves and free blacks slowly turned Ameri-
can opinion against the slave interests in the South. Secession followed, and then began the national bloodbath that would demand slavery’s complete destruction.
patrick rael is a professor of history at Bowdoin College and one of the general editors of the Race in the Atlantic World, 1700–1900 series. His books include Black Identity and Black Protest in the Antebellum North and African-American Activism before the Civil War: The Freedom Struggle in the Antebellum North. Rael is an Organization of American Historians distinguished lecturer, 2010–2015.

How William and Ellen Craft’s escape from slavery, their activism, and press accounts figured during the antislavery movement of the mid-1800s and Reconstruction “Barbara McCaskill’s new book should be read by everyone interested in the spectacular story of the self-emancipating Crafts—one of antebellum America’s most compelling stories of bondage and of memory. McCaskill brilliantly builds on her edition of the Crafts’ Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom with new details gleaned from meticulous research. Love, Liberation, and Escaping Slavery illuminates McCaskill’s exemplary archival excavations into the lives of Ellen, William, their community of renowned formerly enslaved authors and activists, the whites who obstructed their life’s journeys and those who helped clear their paths, and ultimately, the Crafts’ outstanding progeny.”—Joycelyn Moody, Sue E. Denman Distinguished Chair in American Literature at the University of Texas at San Antonio “Barbara McCaskill demonstrates that the Crafts’ life and famous story reveal a great deal about how transatlantic literature, culture, and history have been managed and misrepresented over the years. This valuable and revealing history is the go-to study for anyone interested in the Crafts.”—John Ernest, author of A Nation within a Nation: Organizing African-American Communities before the Civil War
The spectacular 1848 escape of William and Ellen Craft (1824–1900; 1826–1891) from slavery in Macon, Georgia, is a dramatic story in the annals of American history. Ellen, who could pass for white, disguised herself as a gentleman slaveholder; William accompanied her as his “master’s” devoted slave valet; both traveled openly by train, steamship, and carriage to arrive in free Philadelphia on Christmas Day. In Love, Liberation, and Escaping Slavery, Barbara McCaskill revisits this dual escape and examines the collaborations and partnerships that characterized the Crafts’ activism for the next thirty years: in Boston, where they were on the run again after the passage of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Law; in England;
and in Reconstruction-era Georgia. McCaskill also provides a close reading of the Crafts’ only book, their memoir, Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom, published in 1860. Yet as this study of key moments in the Crafts’ public lives argues, the early print archive—newspapers, periodicals, pamphlets, legal documents—fills gaps in their story by providing insight into how they navigated the challenges of freedom as reformers and educators, and it discloses the transatlantic British and American audiences’ changing reactions to them. By discussing such events as the 1878 court case that placed William’s character and reputation on trial, this book also invites readers to reconsider the Crafts’
triumphal story as one that is messy, unresolved, and bittersweet. An important episode in African American literature, history, and culture, this will be essential reading for teachers and students of the slave narrative genre and the transatlantic antislavery movement and for researchers investigating early American print culture.

sounding the color line Music and Race in the Southern Imagination Erich Nunn
Gauging segregation’s impact on understandings of twentieth-century American music and culture “Sounding the Color Line is an important contribution that adds to our understanding of southern literature, culture, identity studies, and American popular music.”—Barbara Ching, author of Wrong’s What I Do Best: Hard Country Music and Contemporary Culture
Sounding the Color Line explores how competing understandings of the U.S. South in the first decades of the twentieth century have led us to experience musical forms, sounds, and genres in racialized contexts. Yet, though we may speak of white or black music, rock or rap, sounds constantly leak through such barriers. A critical disjuncture exists, then, between actual interracial musical and cultural forms on the one hand and racialized structures of feeling on the other. This is nowhere more apparent than in the South. Like Jim Crow segregation, the separation of musical forms along racial lines has required enormous energy to maintain. How, asks Nunn, did the protocols structur-
ing listeners’ racial associations arise? How have they evolved and been maintained in the face of repeated transgressions of the musical color line? Considering the South as the imagined ground where conflicts of racial and national identities are staged, this book looks at developing ideas concerning folk song and racial and cultural nationalism alongside the competing and sometimes contradictory workings of an emerging culture industry. Drawing on a diverse archive of musical recordings, critical artifacts, and literary texts, Nunn reveals how the musical color line has not only been established and maintained but also repeatedly crossed, fractured, and reformed. This push and pull—between
segregationist cultural logics and music’s disrespect of racially defined boundaries—is an animating force in twentieth-century American popular culture.

sharing the earth An International Environmental Justice Reader Edited by Elizabeth Ammons and Modhumita Roy
Writings from around the world to inspire—and challenge—us to work for positive change
The first of its kind, this anthology of eighty international primary literary texts—poems, short stories, personal essays, testimonials, activist statements, and group-authored visions—illuminates Environmental Justice as a concept and a movement worldwide in a way that is accessible to students, scholars, and general readers. Also included are historical selections that ground contemporary pieces in a continuum of activist concern for the earth and human justice, a much-needed but seldom available perspective.
Arts and humanities are crucial in the ongoing effort to achieve an ecologically sustainable and just world. Works of the human imagination provide analyses, articulations of experience, and positive visions of the future that no amount of statistics, data, charts, or graphs can offer because literature speaks not only to the intellect but also to our emotions. Creative literary work, which records human experience both past and present, has the power to warn, to persuade, and to inspire. Each is critical in the shared struggle for Environmental Justice.
elizabeth ammons is Harriet H. Fay Profes-

modhumita roy is an associate professor of English at Tufts University, where she teaches courses on non-Western women writers and postcolonial theory and fiction. She is the author of many essays on empire, culture, and social justice issues.
contents Eighty selections from a global gathering of viewpoints on contemporary and historical issues Part One: On Whose Shoulders Do We Stand? Eighteen selections of the kinds of works that anticipated and helped prepare the way for Environmental Justice as a concept and movement. Included are works by such thinkers as Lao Tzu, Henry David Thoreau, Rabindranath Tagore, and Jane Addams. Part Two: Speaking Up / Speaking Out Forty-eight selections that reflect the variety and abundance of Environmental Justice concerns around the world. Included are works by such poets, writers, memoirists, and essayists as Janice Mirikitani, Rigoberta Menchú, Marilou Awiakta, Jamaica Kincaid, and Martín Espada. Part Three: A World to Win Fourteen selections of works meant to expose and engage with injustices. Included are works by such activists as Arundhati Roy, Ken Saro Wiwa, and Michael Albert.

A lyrical, intensely personal depiction of the transforming experience of motherhood
“Bush taxi drivers have a sympathetic, if somewhat frazzled, advocate in Chilson. He documents the dreams and frustrations of these men (and a couple of women) and the battles waged by them and their Peugeot 504s against potholes, roadblocks, corruption, bad petrol, devils, and the lack of genuine spare parts.” —Times Literary Supplement
“Through the eyes of a poet, Lia Purpura explores the challenges of the first year of motherhood in a series of lyrical essays. . . . For mothers, bystanders, and armchair dreamers, Purpura offers an insightful itinerary.”—Publishers Weekly
“Chilson’s book, as vivid in places as a nightmare, has all the revelatory power of the early explorers’ narratives, with their shreds of myth and rumor snatched from the borders of terra incognita.” —New York Times Book Review
“Awe is one of many things a reader can gain from reading Increase. Here we are in the hands of an original-thinking Madonna, one who sees honeycombs in the playpen mesh and bathwater as a silver scarf. She reminds us that the miracle of birth is real to someone all the time, and that everyone, even the murderous terrorist on the evening news, started out as somebody’s baby.”—Fourth Genre
In Niger, where access to rail and air travel requires overcoming many obstacles, roads are the nation’s lifeline. For a year in the early 1990s, Peter Chilson traveled this desert country by automobile to experience West African road culture. The road in Africa, says Chilson, is more than a direction or a path to take. Here he uses the road not to reinforce Africa’s worn image of decay and corruption but to reveal how people endure political and economic chaos, poverty, and disease.
peter chilson teaches writing and literature at Washington State University. He is also the author of We Never Knew Exactly Where: Dispatches from the Lost Country of Mali and DisturbanceLoving Species: A Novella and Stories, winner of the Bakeless Fiction Prize and the Maria Thomas Fiction Prize.

the nashville sound Bright Lights and Country Music Paul Hemphill Foreword by Don Cusic
The culture clash in Music City “The best book ever written about country music.”—Chicago Sun-Times “A first-rate book . . . that reads as smoothly and sparklingly as a bluegrass breakdown.”—Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times “All these years later, the Prologue [‘Friday Night at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge’] reads as though it happened last night.”—Country Music magazine “A rich, raw slice of American life.”—Los Angeles Times “It’s the first ‘real’ book written about our music. The people, the songs, the places, all come to life in these pages.”—Bill Anderson, singer, songwriter, and Grand Ole Opry star
While on a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard, journalist and novelist Paul Hemphill wrote of that pivotal moment in the late sixties when traditional defenders of the hillbilly roots of country music were confronted by the new influences and business realities of pop music. The demimonde of the traditional Nashville venues (Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, Robert’s Western World, and the Ryman Auditorium) and first-wave artists (Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubb, and Lefty Frizzell) are shown coming into first contact, if not conflict, with a new wave of pop-influenced and business savvy country performers (Jeannie C. “Harper Valley PTA” Riley, Johnny Ryles, and Glen Campbell) and rock performers (Bob Dylan, Gram Parsons,
the Byrds, and the Grateful Dead) as they took the form well beyond Music City. Originally published in 1970, The Nashville Sound shows the resulting identity crisis as a fascinating, even poignant, moment in country music and entertainment history.
paul hemphill (1936–2009) was born in
Birmingham, Alabama, and attended Auburn and Harvard Universities. In addition to long work as a sportswriter and columnist at the Atlanta Journal, he was the author of several collections of journalism, novels, and memoirs, including, among others, Too Old to Cry (1981), King of the Road (1989), and Leaving Birmingham: Notes of a Native Son (1993).
Hemphill returned to country music in 2005 with Lovesick Blues: The Life of Hank Williams. Hemphill served on the faculties of Emory University, Brenau University, and the University of Georgia, where he taught writing.
don cusic is a historian of country music and a professor of music business at the Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business at Belmont University. His many books include Saved by Song: A History of Gospel and Christian Music and The Cowboy in Country Music: An Historical Survey with Artist Profiles.

The Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction
the invisibles Stories by Hugh Sheehy Winner of the Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction
Stories that illuminate the all-but-silent note of adult loneliness and how we cope with it or, perhaps, just move past it “A little violence goes a long way and the lurking fear at the heart of these stories elevates them beyond the merely promising to reveal a wicked new talent.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Fresh yet deeply knowing . . . In his flawless, fluid, droll, and suspenseful tales of deceptively routine lives, Sheehy dramatizes loneliness, terror, and loss with arresting restraint, focusing on the percussive aftermath of violence. A writer of evocative subtlety and uncanny power . . . Sheehy reveals what’s hidden in plain sight to clarion effect.”—Booklist (starred review) “Left behind, the characters in The Invisibles try to make sense of what remains. . . . You’ll remember them all—Sheehy’s finely crafted genre-bending mash-up of thrillers, fairy tales, realism and children’s stories makes sure of it.” —Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Though Hugh Sheehy’s often tragic, sometimes gruesome stories feature bloodied knives and mysterious disappearances, at the heart of these thoughtful thrillers are finely crafted character studies of people who wrestle with the darker aspects of human nature— grief, violence, loneliness, and the thoughts of crazed minds. Sheehy’s stories shine a spotlight on the bleak fringes of America, giving voice to the invisibles who need it most. A dismal assistant teacher spiking her coffee after school is suddenly locked in a basement with a student who has just witnessed his
father’s murder. A seventeen-year-old girl at a skate rink whose name no one can remember is motherless, friendless, and sure she will be the next to go. The heartbroken victim of a miscarriage dreams of her fetus’s voyage through the earth’s plumbing. The estranged addict son, certain of his innate goodness, loses himself in a blizzard and fails his family again. Sheehy’s characters learn that, however invisible they may feel and whatever their intentions, their actions incur a cost both to themselves and to those around them.
hugh sheehy’s stories have appeared in
such publications as Five Points, Cincinnati Review, Kenyon Review, Glimmer Train, Antioch Review, Crazyhorse, and Copper Nickel. He teaches creative writing and literature at Ramapo College of New Jersey.

A funny, brainy look at love and romance in the information age “A master of her form . . . Levy is skilled at bringing her characters to life, each story searingly made real through her subtlety and fastidious attention to detail.”—Publishers Weekly “Levy’s taut prose, intelligence and emotional acuity penetrate nearly every sentence. Fans of Amy Bloom’s short stories are likely to savor Levy’s work. Readers will likely savor this collection for its intoxicating language and introspection.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Levy’s artful debut story collection finds varied characters—young and old, male and female—confronting the ornery manifestations and delusions of modern love. . . . Levy’s ten engaging stories speak to the sorcery of the heart.”—Booklist
In ten captivating and tender stories, E. J. Levy takes readers through the surprisingly erotic terrain of the intellect, offering a smart and modern take on the age-old theme of love—whether between a man and woman, a man and a man, a woman and a woman, or a mother and a child—drawing readers into tales of passion, adultery, and heartbreak. A Brooklyn woman is thrown out of an ashram for choosing earthly love over enlightenment. A disheartened English professor’s life changes when she goes rock climbing and falls for an outdoorsman. A gay oncologist
attending his sister’s second wedding ponders dark matter in the universe and the ties that bind us. Three psychiatric patients, each convinced that he is Christ, give rise to a love affair in a small Minnesota town. A lesbian student of film learns theories of dramatic action the hard way—by falling for a married male professor. Wittily incorporating theories from physics to film to philosophy, from Rational Choice to Thorstein Veblen’s Theory of the Leisure Class, these stories movingly explore the heart and mind—shooting cupid’s arrow toward a target that may never be reached.
e. j. levy’s work has appeared in the Paris Review, the Missouri Review, Gettysburg Review, the New York Times, and Best American Essays and has received a Pushcart Prize and Nelson Algren Finalist Award among other honors. She is also the author of the memoir Amazons: A Love Story and editor of Tasting Life Twice: Literary Lesbian Fiction by New American Writers, which won the Lambda Literary Award. Levy teaches in the MFA Program at Colorado State University.

from now on New and Selected Poems, 1970–2015 Clarence Major
A new collection of poems from a visionary artist on love, space, power, war, experience, and time praise for clarence major: “Over the years, I have come to believe that Clarence Major is one of the most significant American poets of the past two decades. Educated as a painter . . . from the outset he brought to poetry the understanding of scale, surface, and palette. . . . His work [is] also linguistically innovative. . . . His is a catholic but intellectually and aesthetically rigorous practice.”—Susan Wheeler “I love the stark contrasts. . . . Major is . . . someone with . . . a vivid sense of how narrative and impulse inhabit the visual realm.”—Tracy K. Smith
Clarence Major is a consummate artist whose work in poetry, fiction, and painting has been widely recognized. He has been part of twenty-eight group exhibitions, has had fifteen one-man shows, and has published fourteen collections of poetry and nine works of fiction. Major’s works—and this collection in particular—are distinguished by his poetic sociability and his unblinking but generous and affectionate portraiture. In From Now On, a retrospective of poems from the 1950s to the present—including selections from each of Major’s previous books of poetry as well as a generous selection of new poems—Major creates a vivid gallery of
nimbly drawn characters. Here he establishes a voice that is singular and musical, one that draws witty, moving, and empathetic portraits of African American urban and country dwellers. Ultimately, this collection maintains Major’s intimate, conversational poetry while simultaneously becoming more eclectic, multicultural, and cosmopolitan. Major’s poetry is affable, but it suggests an insistence that we can connect with history and social change through the dynamic lives of the people we encounter daily.
clarence major is a prizewinning poet,
painter, and novelist. He is the author of thirteen previous books of poetry. As a finalist for a National Book Award he won a bronze medal for his book Configurations: New and Selected Poems, 1958–1998. Among other awards he is also the recipient of a National Council on the Arts Award, a New York Cultural Foundation Award, and the Stephen Henderson Poetry Award for Outstanding Achievement, all three for poetry. His poetry has appeared in hundreds of anthologies and periodicals, in English and in foreign languages. He is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of California at Davis.

honest engine Poems by Kyle Dargan
Poetry that grapples with loss and mortality in a radically honest way praise for kyle dargan: “Heralds a fresh voice in American writing, as varied and vibrant as the country Dargan inhabits, critiques, and makes his own.” —Kevin Young, on Bouquet of Hungers “Kyle Dargan has not let contemporary poetics fool him, so don’t let Kyle Dargan fool you. He’s a romantic (small r) with an insatiable desire to construct new meaning in order to heal old experiences.” —Thomas Sayers Ellis, on Logorrhea Dementia “Bears the heft of its personal and cultural histories with linguistic inventiveness, humor, and lyric incandescence.”—Lisa Russ Spaar, on The Listening
In this his fourth collection, award-winning poet Kyle Dargan examines the mechanics of the heart and mind as they are weathered by loss. Following a spate of deaths among family and friends, Dargan chooses to present not color-negative elegies but self-portraits that capture what of these departed figures remains within him. Amid this processing of mortality, it becomes clear that he has arrived at a turning point as a writer and a man.
As the title suggests, Dargan aspires toward an unflinching honesty. These poems do not purport to possess life’s answers or seek to employ language to mask what they do not know. Dargan confesses as a means of reaching out to the nomadic human soul and inviting it to accompany him on a walk toward the unknown.
kyle dargan’s poetry collections include
Logorrhea Dementia: A Self-Diagnosis (Georgia); Bouquet of Hungers (Georgia), which received the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award; and The Listening (Georgia), which was a winner of the Cave Canem Poetry Prize. He is the former managing editor of Callaloo and the founder and current editor of POST NO ILLS magazine. He is an associate professor of literature and creative writing at American University.

retrofitting sprawl Addressing Seventy Years of Failed Urban Form Edited by Emily Talen
New ideas for making sprawl work
These twelve previously unpublished essays present innovative and practical ideas for addressing the harmful effects of sprawl. Sprawl is not only an ongoing focus of specialized magazines like Dwell; indeed, Time magazine has cited “recycling the suburbs” as the second of “Ten Ideas Changing the World Right Now.” While most conversations on sprawl tend to focus on its restriction, this book presents an overview of current thinking on ways to fix, repair, and retrofit existing sprawl. Chapters by planners, geographers, designers, and architects present research grounded in diverse locales including Phoenix, Arizona; Seattle, Washington; Dublin,
Ohio; and the Atlanta, Georgia, and Washington, D.C. metro areas. The authors address head-on the most controversial aspects of sprawl—issues of power and control, justice and equity, and American attitudes about regulating private development. But they also put these issues in practical contexts, bringing in examples of redesign that are already occurring around the country, including the retrofitting of corridors and the repurposing of cul-de-sacs. Whether fixing sprawl requires a “cultural shift” in thinking or a “coordinated effort” by local government, these essays testify that a combination of forethought and creative thinking will be needed.
emily talen is a professor in the School of
Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning and the School of Sustainability at Arizona State University. Her books include City Rules: How Regulations Affect Urban Form and The Charter of the New Urbanism.

the politics of urban water Changing Waterscapes in Amsterdam Kimberley Kinder
How Amsterdam’s waterscapes became a flashpoint for activism and development
Fifty years ago, urban waterfronts were industrial, polluted, and diseased. Today, luxury homes and shops line riverbanks, harbors, and lakes across Europe and North America. The visual drama of physical reconstruction makes this transition look swift and decisive, but reimaging water is a slow process, punctuated by small cultural shifts and informal spatial seizures that change the meaning of wet urban spaces. In The Politics of Urban Water, Kimberley Kinder explores how active residents in Amsterdam deployed their cityscape when rallying around these concerns, turning space into a vehicle for social reform.
While market dynamics certainly contributed to the transformation of Amsterdam’s shorelines, squatters, partiers, artists, historians, environmentalists, tourists, reporters, and government officials also played crucial roles in bringing waterscapes to life. Their interventions pulled water in new directions, connecting it to political discussions about affordable housing, cultural tolerance, climate change, and national identity. Over time, these political valences have become embedded in laws, norms, symbols, markets, and landscapes, bringing rich undercurrents of friction to urban shores. Amsterdam’s
development serves as both an inspiration and a cautionary tale for cities across Europe and North America where rapid new growth creates similar pressures and anxieties.

norm diffusion and hiv/aids governance in putin’s russia and mbeki’s south africa Vlad Kravtsov
How Russia and South Africa groped for governance alternatives to the HIV/AIDS pandemic and have tried to justify their utility ever since
Although adopting global norms often improves domestic systems of governance, domestic obstacles to norm diffusion are frequent. States that decide to reinvent their political authority simultaneously evaluate which current global norms are desirable and to what extent. In this study, Vlad Kravtsov argues that recent debates about the nature of authority in Putin’s Russia and Mbeki’s South Africa have resulted in a set of unique ideas on the cardinal goals of the state. This is the first book to explore how these consensual ideas have shaped health governance and impinged on norm diffusion processes.
Detailed comparisons of HIV/AIDS governance systems in Russia and South Africa illustrate the argument. The Kremlin’s dislike of international recommendations stemmed from the rapidly maturing statism and great power syndrome. Pretoria’s responses to global AIDS norms were consistent with the ideas of the African Renaissance, which highlighted indigenousness, market-based empowerment, and moral leadership in global affairs. This book explains how and why the governments under investigation framed the nature of the epidemic, provided evidence-based prevention services, increased universal access to proven lifesaving medicines, and interacted with other participants in social practice.
vlad kravtsov earned a PhD in political
science from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University in 2011. His work has been published in peerreviewed journals, and he currently serves as coinvestigator on the study Understanding Global Governance in a Globalizing World: International Cooperation in Response to HIV/ AIDS. He is a frequent contributor to the debates about current affairs in the Russian media.

arab spring Negotiating in the Shadow of the Intifadat Edited by I. William Zartman
Analyzing the Arab Spring uprisings in terms of their numerous and ongoing negotiated processes “Zartman’s collection is the work of a grand master at his best. I doubt that anyone else has the intellectual preparation and scope to undertake such a book as this one.”—Allen Keiswetter, Middle East Institute Scholar and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State
Beginning in January 2011, the Arab world exploded in a vibrant demand for dignity, liberty, and achievable purpose in life, rising up against an image and tradition of arrogant, corrupt, unresponsive authoritarian rule. These previously unpublished, countryspecific case studies of the uprisings and their still unfolding political aftermaths identify patterns and courses of negotiation and explain why and how they occur. The contributors argue that in uprisings like the Arab Spring negotiation is “not just a ‘nice’ practice or a diplomatic exercise.” Rather, it is a “dynamically multilevel” process involving individuals, groups, and states with continually shifting priorities—and with the prospect of violence always near. From
that perspective, the essaysits analyze a range of issues and events—including civil disobedience and strikes, mass demonstrations and nonviolent protest, and peaceful negotiation and armed rebellion—and contextualize their findings within previous struggles, both within and outside the Middle East. The Arab countries discussed include Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen. The Arab Spring uprisings are discussed in the context of rebellions in countries like South Africa and Serbia, while the Libyan uprising is also viewed in terms of the negotiations it provoked within NATO. Collectively, the essays analyze the challenges of uprisers and emerging governments in building a new state on the ruins of a liber-
ated state; the negotiations that lead either to sustainable democracy or sectarian violence; and coalition building between former political and military adversaries.

striking beauties Women Apparel Workers in the U.S. South, 1930–2000 Michelle Haberland
A careful examination of the apparel industry’s impact on gender transformation and southern economic development in the twentieth century
Apparel manufacturing in the American South, by virtue of its size, its reliance upon female labor, and its broad geographic scope, is an important but often overlooked industry that connects the disparate concerns of women’s history, southern cultural history, and labor history. In Striking Beauties, Michelle Haberland examines its essential features and the varied experiences of its workers during the industry’s great expansion from the late 1930s through the demise of its southern branch at the end of the twentieth century. The popular conception of the early twentieth-century South as largely agrarian informs many histories of industry and labor
in the United States. But as Haberland demonstrates, the apparel industry became a key part of the southern economy after the Great Depression and a major driver of southern industrialization. The gender and racial composition of the workforce, the growth of trade unions, technology, and capital investment were all powerful forces in apparel’s migration south. Yet those same forces also revealed the tensions caused by racial and gender inequities not only in the region but in the nation at large. Striking Beauties places the struggles of working women for racial and economic justice in the larger context of southern history. The role of women
as the primary consumers of the family placed them in a critical position to influence the success or failure of boycotts, union label programs and ultimately solidarity.

working for equality The Narrative of Harry Hudson Edited by Randall L. Patton Foreword by Gavin Wright
A rare look at the personal costs—and benefits—of black achievement in the postwar corporate world
“When I went to work for Lockheed-Georgia Company in September of 1952 I had no idea that this would end up being my life’s work.” With these words, Harry Hudson, the first African American supervisor at Lockheed Aircraft’s Georgia facility, begins his account of a thirty-six-year career that spanned the postwar civil rights movement and the Cold War. Hudson was not a civil rights activist, yet he knew he was helping to break down racial barriers that had long confined African Americans to lower-skilled, nonsupervisory jobs. His previously unpublished memoir is an inside account of both the racial integration of corporate America and the struggles common to anyone climbing the postwar cor-
porate ladder. At Lockheed-Georgia, Hudson went on to become the first black supervisor to manage an integrated crew and then the first black purchasing agent. There were other “firsts” along the path to these achievements, and Working for Equality is rich in details of Hudson’s work on the assembly line and in the back office. In both circumstances, he contended with being not only a black man but a light-skinned black man as he dealt with production goals, personnel disputes, and other workday challenges. Randall Patton’s introduction places Hudson’s story within the broader struggle of workplace desegregation in America. Although Hudson is frank about his experi-
ences in a predominantly white workforce, Patton notes that he remained “an organization man” who “expressed pride in his contributions to Lockheed [and] the nation’s defense effort.”

natchez country Indians, Colonists, and the Landscapes of Race in French Louisiana George Edward Milne
The Natchez, the French, and the development of racial consciousness among native peoples “Milne’s Natchez Country expertly elucidates the tangled relationships between the self-described red men whose country was ruled by the sun and the incomers who were subjects of the Sun King.”—Karen Ordahl Kupperman, author of The Atlantic in World History
At the dawn of the 1700s the Natchez viewed the first Francophones in the Lower Mississippi Valley as potential inductees to their chiefdom. This mistaken perception lulled them into permitting these outsiders to settle among them. Within two decades conditions in Natchez Country had taken a turn for the worse. The trickle of wayfarers had given way to a torrent of colonists (and their enslaved Africans) who refused to recognize the Natchez’s hierarchy. These newcomers threatened to seize key authority-generating features of Natchez Country: mounds, a plaza, and a temple. This threat inspired these Indians to turn to a recent import—racial categories—to reestablish social order. They
began to call themselves “red men” to reunite their polity and to distance themselves from the “blacks” and “whites” into which their neighbors divided themselves. After refashioning their identity, they launched an attack that destroyed the nearby colonial settlements. Their 1729 assault began a two-year war that resulted in the death or enslavement of most of the Natchez people. In Natchez Country, George Edward Milne provides the most comprehensive history of the Lower Mississippi Valley and the Natchez to date. From La Salle’s first encounter with what would become Louisiana to the ultimate dispersal of the Natchez by the close of the 1730s, Milne also analyzes the ways
in which French attitudes about race and slavery influenced native North American Indians in the vicinity of French colonial settlements on the Mississippi River and how Native Americans in turn adopted and resisted colonial ideology.

slavery, childhood, and abolition in jamaica, 1788–1838 Colleen A. Vasconcellos
New insights into how enslaved children were used, abused, and conceptualized during a pivotal period of African diasporic history “This exploration of the shifting experiences of enslaved children—the most vulnerable section of the plantation population—illuminates the ways in which successive ‘reforms’ impacted their lives. Colleen A. Vasconcellos offers a plantation-level perspective on the reform efforts’ changing repercussions for individual enslaved households. She proceeds from the first questioning of slavery in the mid-eighteenth century, through efforts by individual colonies to legislate reforms, on to the colonial consequences of the ending of the trans-Atlantic trade in enslaved Africans, and finally to the transition from Emancipation to ‘Full Free.’”—James Robertson, Department of History and Archaeology, the University of the West Indies, Mona
This study examines childhood and slavery in Jamaica from the onset of improved conditions for the island’s slaves to the end of all forced or coerced labor throughout the British Caribbean. As Colleen A. Vasconcellos discusses the nature of child development in the plantation complex, she looks at how both colonial Jamaican society and the slave community conceived childhood—and how those ideas changed as the abolitionist movement gained power, the fortunes of planters rose and fell, and the nature of work on Jamaica’s estates evolved from slavery to apprenticeship to free labor.
Vasconcellos explores the experiences of enslaved children through the lenses of family, resistance, race, status, culture, education, and freedom. In the half-century covered by her study, Jamaican planters alternately saw enslaved children as burdens or investments. At the same time, the childhood experience was shaped by the ethnically, linguistically, and culturally diverse slave community. Vasconcellos adds detail and meaning to these tensions by looking, for instance, at enslaved children of color, legally termed mulattos, who had unique ties to both slave and planter families. In addition, she shows how traditions, beliefs, and practices within the slave
community undermined planters’ efforts to ensure a compliant workforce by instilling Christian values in enslaved children. These are just a few of the ways that Vasconcellos reveals an overlooked childhood—one that was often defined by Jamaican planters but always contested and redefined by the slaves themselves.

professor of history at the University of West Georgia. She is coeditor, with Jennifer Hillman Helgren, of Girlhood: A Global History.

Life-and-times histories of women from Tennessee
The second volume of Tennessee Women: Their Lives and Times contains sixteen essays on Tennessee women in the forefront of the political, economic, and cultural history of the state and assesses the national and sometimes international scope of their influence. The essays examine women’s lives in the broad sweep of nineteenth- and twentiethcentury history in Tennessee and reenvision the state’s past by placing them at the center of the historical stage and examining their experiences in relation to significant events. Together, volumes 1 and 2 cover women’s activities from the early 1700s to the late 1900s.
Volume 2 looks at antebellum issues of gender, race, and class; the impact of the Civil War on women’s lives; parades and public celebrations as venues for displaying and challenging gender ideals; female activism on racial and gender issues; the impact of state legislation on marital rights; and the place of women in particular religious organizations. Together these essays reorient our views of women as agents of change in Tennessee history.

virginia women Their Lives and Times—Volume 1 Edited by Cynthia A. Kierner and Sandra Gioia Treadway
Life-and-times histories of women from Virginia
Virginia Women is the first of two volumes exploring the history of Virginia women through the lives of exemplary and remarkable individuals. This collection of seventeen essays, written by established and emerging scholars, recovers the stories and voices of a diverse group of women, from the seventeenth century through the Civil War era. Placing their subjects in their larger historical contexts, the authors show how the experiences of Virginia women varied by race, class, age, and marital status, and also across both space and time.
Some essays examine the lives of wellknown women—such as First Lady Dolley Madison—from a new perspective. Others introduce readers to relatively obscure historical figures: the convicted witch Grace Sherwood; the colonial printer Clementina Rind; Harriet Hemings, the enslaved daughter of Thomas Jefferson. Essays on the frontier heroine Mary Draper Ingles and the Civil War spy Elizabeth Van Lew examine the real women behind the legends. Altogether, the essays in this collection offer readers an engaging and personal window onto the experiences of women in the Old Dominion.

Life-and-times histories of women from North Carolina
By the twentieth century, North Carolina’s progressive streak had strengthened, thanks in part to a growing number of women who engaged in and influenced state and national policies and politics. In 1902, Daisy Denson became the first woman to head the state’s welfare board, and from that position she addressed a number of issues, including child labor and prison reform. Gertrude Weil fought tirelessly for the Nineteenth Amendment, which extended suffrage to women, and founded the state chapter of the League of Women Voters once the amendment was ratified in 1920. Gladys Avery Tillett, an ardent Democrat and supporter of Roosevelt’s New Deal, became a major presence in her party at both the state and national levels. Guion Griffis Johnson turned to volunteer work in the postwar years, becoming one of the state’s most prominent female civic leaders.
Through her excellent education, keen legal mind, and family prominence, Susie Sharp in 1949 became the first woman judge in North Carolina and in 1974 the first woman in the nation to be elected and serve as chief justice of a state supreme court. Throughout her life, the Reverend Dr. Anna Pauline “Pauli” Murray charted a religious, literary, and political path to racial reconciliation on both a national stage and in North Carolina. This is the second of two volumes that together explore the diverse and changing patterns of North Carolina women’s lives. These essays cover the period beginning with women born in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries but who made their greatest contributions to the social, political, cultural, legal, and economic life of the state during the late progressive era through the late twentieth century.

remaking home economics Resourcefulness and Innovation in Changing Times Edited by Sharon Y. Nickols and Gwen Kay
Essays on the history and current state of the family and consumer sciences field
An interdisciplinary effort of scholars from history, women’s studies, and family and consumer sciences, Remaking Home Economics covers the field’s history of opening career opportunities for women and responding to domestic and social issues. Calls to “bring back home economics” miss the point that it never went away, say Sharon Y. Nickols and Gwen Kay—home economics has been remaking itself, in study and practice, for more than a century. These new essays, relevant for a variety of fields—history, women’s studies, STEM, and family and consumer sciences itself—take both current and historical perspectives on defining issues including home economics philosophy, social responsibility, and public outreach; food and clothing; gender and race in career settings; and challenges to the field’s identity and continuity.
Home economics history offers a rich case study for exploring common ground between the broader culture and this highly gendered profession. This volume describes the resourcefulness of past scholars and professionals who negotiated with cultural and institutional constraints to produce their work, as well as the innovations of contemporary practitioners who continue to change the profession, including its name and identity. The widespread urge to reclaim domestic skills, along with a continual need for fresh ways to address obesity, elder abuse, household debt, and other national problems affirms the field’s vitality and relevance. This volume will foster dialogue both inside and outside the academy about the changes that have remade (and are remaking) family and consumer sciences.
sharon y. nickols is dean and professor emerita of family and consumer sciences at the University of Georgia. She received the Nellie Kedzie Jones Lifetime Achievement Award (Board on Human Sciences, Association of Land-Grant Colleges and Universities) for her many years of leadership in the field of human sciences. gwen kay is a professor of history and director of the honors program at the State University of New York at Oswego. She is the author of Dying to Be Beautiful: The Fight for Safe Cosmetics.

Restoring the Character Sketches by William Pierce of Georgia of the Delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 John R. Vile
A fresh look at the famous gathering of short pieces portraying the Founders at work on the Constitution
Of all the written portraits of the delegates who attended the Federal Convention of 1787, few are as complete and compelling as those penned by William Pierce Jr. (1753–89), one of four delegates from Georgia. While at the convention or shortly thereafter, Pierce produced character sketches of fifty-three of the fifty-five delegates. Although widely quoted and cited, the sketches—until now— have never been analyzed or annotated in detail. John R. Vile’s study offers new insights into the workings of the convention and the character and roles of its delegates, as well as Pierce’s little-known life, which included time as an artist. Vile reveals, for example, that the time prior to the establishment of national parties when the framers could have successfully met together in convention may have been a relatively narrow historical window.
Following overviews of events leading to the 1787 convention and of Pierce and his immediate family, several chapters deal specifically with the character sketches. They cover Pierce’s arrangement of the sketches and their subjects, his evaluations of the delegates’ personal qualities and reputations, his assessments of their rhetorical abilities, and his descriptions of their public services, occupations, and miscellaneous matters. Two concluding chapters add further context. One examines a set of somewhat overlapping sketches that Louis Guillaume Otto, the French minister to the United States, penned about members of Congress in 1788. The other looks at writings by Pierce’s son and namesake that also include assessments of various Founding Fathers. Gathering Pierce’s sketches in full, with ample annota-
tions and secondary materials, this is a valuable reference on Pierce’s life, work, and times.
john r. vile is a professor of political science and dean of the University Honors College at Middle Tennessee State University. He is the author of numerous works relative to the U.S. Constitution and to rhetoric, including The Men Who Made the Constitution: Lives of the Delegates to the Constitutional Convention; The Writing and Ratification of the U.S. Constitution: Practical Virtue in Action; The Constitutional Convention of 1787: A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of America’s Founding (2 vols.); and A Companion to the United States Constitution and Its Amendments (now in its fifth edition).

diplomacy in black and white John Adams, Toussaint Louverture, and Their Atlantic World Alliance Ronald Angelo Johnson
The first history of the unlikely diplomatic alliance between the fledgling nations of the United States and Haiti “Ronald Angelo Johnson’s Diplomacy in Black and White offers a new, compelling, and highly readable account of an important episode in the early history of American foreign policy.”—Michael Mandelbaum, author of Democracy’s Good Name: The Rise and Risks of the World’s Most Popular Form of Government “John Adams’s presidency and Saint-Domingue’s revolutionary regime rarely get the attention they deserve in explaining the acquisition of Louisiana and shifts in the slavery debates in the United States. Ronald Angelo Johnson’s carefully argued and persuasive new book gives us an illuminating take on the equal partnership forged between the Adams administration and Toussaint Louverture—a fascinating and original study of diplomacy across the color line.”—Nancy Isenberg, author of Fallen Founder: The Life of Aaron Burr From 1798 to 1801, during the Haitian Revolution, President John Adams and Toussaint Louverture forged diplomatic relations that empowered white Americans to embrace freedom and independence for people of color in Saint-Domingue. The United States supported the Dominguan revolutionaries with economic assistance and arms and munitions; the conflict was also the U.S. Navy’s first military action on behalf of a foreign ally. This cross-cultural cooperation was of immense and strategic importance as it helped to bring forth a new nation: Haiti. Diplomacy in Black and White is the first book on the Adams-Louverture alliance. Historian and former diplomat Ronald
Angelo Johnson details the aspirations of the Americans and Dominguans—two revolutionary peoples—and how they played significant roles in a hostile Atlantic world. Remarkably, leaders of both governments established multiracial relationships amid environments dominated by slavery and racial hierarchy. And though U.S.-Dominguan diplomacy did not end slavery in the United States, it altered Atlantic world discussions of slavery and race well into the twentieth century. Diplomacy in Black and White reflects the capacity of leaders from disparate backgrounds to negotiate political and societal constraints to make lives better for the groups they represent. Adams and Louverture
brought their peoples to the threshold of a lasting transracial relationship. And their shared history reveals the impact of decisions made by powerful people at pivotal moments. But in the end, a permanent alliance failed to emerge, and instead, the two republics born of revolution took divergent paths.
ronald angelo johnson is an assistant professor of history at Texas State University. He has served as a U.S. diplomat at embassies in Gabon and Luxembourg, and he has worked as an analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency. He is also a chaplain in the U.S. Navy Reserve.

bombay in the age of disco Tinaz Pavri
A riveting memoir capturing the metamorphosis of Bombay and its citizens during one of India’s most pivotal moments By the early nineties, the economy of India had taken its first faltering steps toward liberalization, globalization’s reach had found and touched significant swathes of its society, the decades-long postindependence era of Nehru and Gandhi was finally and firmly over, and Bombay had become Mumbai. Bombay in the Age of Disco is a personal and historically powerful memoir, weaving together the experiences and aspirations of a young girl and her family with the dizzying sea of change that swept her city during her childhood and after she left. Tinaz Pavri recalls what Bombay taught her as a child and compares her memories to the changing, globalized nature of her hometown as it is today. This book is an up-close, personal account of India’s changing economy and social structure through the last several decades. Readers will be as enchanted with Pavri’s family, who range from hilarious but well meaning to snarky and aloof, as they will be with the city’s fading yet regenerating charms.
tinaz pavri is a professor and division chair for
social sciences and education in the Department of Political Science at Spelman College. Her professional studies focus on security studies and conflict resolution, national identity, and India’s globalized economy. She is the current president of the Georgia Political Science Association.
