lens of war Exploring Iconic Photographs of the Civil War Edited by J. Matthew Gallman and Gary W. Gallagher hardcover, $23.07 978-0-8203-4810-0 ebook available available april 2015
Historians reflect on photographs from the Civil War “These Civil War writers, experts and teachers each explain their reasons for choosing a photo; often, it harkens back to seeing it as a child and using that experience as a launching point for a career. The essays freely challenge the ethics of war photography; one asks, ‘When is it not all right to take an image of something?’ When must we leave death alone? Pictures are natural entrees into imagination, but we must understand the difference between history and memory. . . A brilliant starting point for truly understanding the Civil War.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “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

alone atop the hill The Autobiography of Alice Dunnigan, Pioneer of the National Black Press Written by Alice Dunnigan Edited by Carol McCabe Booker Foreword by Simeon Booker hardcover, $18.87 978-0-8203-4798-1 ebook available
The powerful life and times of the first black woman to break into the national press corps in Washington, D.C. “Dunnigan’s indelible self-portrait affirms that while the media landscape has changed, along with some social attitudes and practices, discrimination is far from vanquished, and we still need dedicated and brave journalists to serve as clarion investigators, witnesses, and voices of conscience.”—Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review) “Thanks to Carol Booker for bringing to light this marvelously documented life of Alice Dunnigan . . . 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 . . . 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

The Evolution of Urban Food Culture in the Jim Crow South Angela Jill Cooley paper, $17.47 978-0-8203-4759-2 ebook available available may 2015
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 The Edible South: The Power of Food and the Making of an American Region

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

empty sleeves Amputation in the Civil War South Brian Craig Miller paper, $20.97 978-0-8203-4332-7 ebook available
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. 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 paper, $23.07 978-0-8203-4839-1 ebook available available august 2015
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 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. “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

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. 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.

The people, the songs, the places, all come to life in these pages.”—Bill Anderson, singer, songwriter, and Grand Ole Opry star “To say Hemphill is writing about country music is like saying Hemingway wrote about boxers and fisherman. What Hemphill writes about is America, and he has done it here with the incisive feel and the fine sure language and that very special knack of keeping his subject alive in print that so many of us strive for but so few of us achieve. A damned fine reading experience.” —Joe McGinnis, Life magazine

Women Apparel Workers in the U.S. South, 1930–2000 Michelle Haberland paper, $18.87 978-0-8203-4742-4 ebook available
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. This book 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.

The Narrative of Harry Hudson Edited by Randall L. Patton Foreword by Gavin Wright hardcover, $31.47 978-0-8203-4800-1 ebook available available july 2015
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 corporate 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. 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.

slavery, childhood, and abolition in jamaica, 1788–1838 Colleen A. Vasconcellos paper, $17.47 978-0-8203-4805-6 ebook available available may 2015
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 “Slavery, Childhood, and Abolition in Jamaica adds considerably to our understanding of how amelioration altered the actions of slave owners in fundamental ways. Vasconcellos has a number of fresh ideas on the significance of childhood as a political and, to an extent, a social issue in the transition from slavery to freedom in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Jamaica.”—Trevor Burnard, author of Creole Gentlemen: The Maryland Elite, 1691-1776

Restoring the Character Sketches by William Pierce of Georgia of the Delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 John R. Vile hardcover, $31.47 978-0-8203-4772-1 available june 2015
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.

Southern Women: Their Lives and Times
Virginia Women is the first of two volumes exploring the history of Virginia women through the lives of exemplary and remarkable individuals. Some essays examine the lives of well-known 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.
This is the second of two volumes that together explore the diverse and changing patterns of North Carolina women’s lives. These women included Gertrude Weil who fought tirelessly for the Nineteenth Amendment and founded the state chapter of the League of Women Voters once the amendment was ratified in 1920. Guion Griffis Johnson turned to volunteer work in the postwar years, becoming one of the state’s most prominent female civic leaders. 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.

Behrend shows how freedpeople set up a political system rooted in egalitarian values wherein local communities rather than powerful individuals held power and ordinary people exercised unprecedented influence in governance. In so doing, he invites us to reconsider not only our understanding of Reconstruction but also the nature and origins of democracy more broadly.
