Bioethics/Biological Sciences

Brutes or Angels Human Possibility in the Age of Biotechnology James T. Bradley A guide to the rapidly progressing Age of Biotechnology, Brutes or Angels provides basic information on a wide array of new technologies in the life sciences, along with the ethical issues raised by each. With stem cell research, Dolly the cloned sheep, in vitro fertilization, age retardation, and pharmaceutical mind enhancement, humankind is now faced with decisions that it has never before had to consider. The thoughtfulness, or lack of it, that we bring to those decisions will largely determine the future character of the living world. Brutes or Angels will facilitate informed choice making about the personal use of biotechnologies and the formulation of public policies governing their development and use. Ten biotechnologies that impact humans are considered: stem cell research, embryo selection, human genomics, gene therapies, human reproductive cloning, age retardation, cognition enhancement, the engineering of nonhuman organisms, nanobiology, and synthetic biology. With deft and assured use of metaphors, analogies, diagrams, and photographs, James T. Bradley introduces important biological principles and the basic procedures used in biotechnology. Various ethical issues— personhood, personal identity, privacy, ethnic discrimination, distributive justice, authenticity and human nature, and the significance of mortality in the human life cycle—are presented in a clear and unbiased manner. Personal reflection and group dialogue are encouraged by questions at the end of each chapter, making this book not only a general guide to better informed and nuanced thinking on these complex and challenging topics, but also an appropriate text for bioethics courses in university science departments and for adult education classes. Standing at the beginning of the twenty-first century, with burgeoning abilities to enhance and even create life in ways unimaginable just a few decades ago, humans have an awesome responsibility to themselves and other species. Brutes or Angels invites us to engage each other in meaningful dialogue by listening, gathering information, formulating thoughtful views, and remaining open to new knowledge and ethical argumentation. James T. Bradley is the former director of the Human Odyssey Program and W. Kelly Mosley Professor of Science and Humanities emeritus at Auburn University, where he taught in the Department of Biological Sciences. Winner of the 2002 Academic Freedom Award of the Auburn Chapter of the American Association of University Professors, Bradley is author or coauthor of numerous short papers published in journals such as Nature, Zygon, Journal of Experimental Zoology, and Cell and Tissue Research. In addition, he has published a laboratory manual in cell biology and edited the first two volumes of The Human Odyssey: Readings from Original Sources.

Wagner, president of Emory University and vice-chair of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues “An exceptionally stimulating work on human genomics, especially for nontechnical audiences, including college students. The discussion of pharmacogenomics—a subject not generally addressed in college textbooks—is both seminal and informative. This book is a valuable contribution to the scientific literature on human biodiversity, human genomics, and genomic medicine.” — Alondra Oubré, medical anthropologist and author of Instinct and Revelation: Reflections on the Origins of Numinous Perception “Brutes or Angels by James T. Bradley is a whirlwind tour of some of the most promising areas of biotechnology research in terms of improving the human condition, but also the most fraught with moral and ethical dilemmas. The book is written for a lay audience and tries, successfully I think, to discuss not only what we are capable of doing in the field of biotechnology, but whether or not we should be doing it. Brutes or Angels should be required reading for educators, politicians, clergy, or anyone in a position to influence the general public’s attitudes on the subject of biotechnology.” — Christopher Gregg, associate rector of the Science Residential College and instructor in the Introductory Biology Program in the College of Science at Louisiana State University

When Colleges Sang The Story of Singing in American College Life J. Lloyd Winstead When Colleges Sang is an illustrated history of the rich culture of college singing from the earliest days of the American republic to the present. Before fraternity songs, alma maters, and the rahs of college fight songs became commonplace, students sang. Students in the earliest American colleges created their own literary melodies that they shared with their classmates. As J. Lloyd Winstead documents in When Colleges Sang, college singing expanded in conjunction with the growth of the nation and the American higher education system.

may 6 x 9 / 304 pages / 45 B&W illustrations ISBN: 978-0-8173-1790-4 / $34.95t cloth ISBN: 978-0-8173-8665-8 / $34.95 ebook “J. Lloyd Winstead’s When Colleges Sang demonstrates tremendous originality and merit. I have little doubt that this work will immediately become the standard bearer in the scholarship of campus song and thereby campus life. Two important strengths of the book involve the depth and breadth of the scholarship used by the author as well as the use of varied examples from multiple institutions to advance the analysis.” — Amy Wells Dolan, associate dean of the School of Education and associate professor of leadership and counselor education at the University of Mississippi “When Colleges Sang is an original, significant contribution to the literature on the history of higher education writ large. The archival research is thorough and often involves tracking down and analyzing documents heretofore unexamined and/ or underappreciated. This book continually brings new episodes, variations, events, and interpretations that make one rethink the whole conceptualization of campus life.”

While it was often simply an entertaining pastime, singing had other subtle and not-so-subtle effects. Singing indoctrinated students into the life of formal and informal student organizations as well as encouraged them to conform to college rituals and celebrations. University faculty used songs to reinforce the religious practices and ceremonial observances that their universities supported. Students used singing for more social purposes: students sang to praise their peer’s achievements (and underachievements), mock the faculty, and provide humor. In extreme circumstances, they sang to intimidate classmates and faculty, and to defy college authorities. Singing was, and is, an intrinsic part of campus culture. When Colleges Sang explores the dynamics that inspired collegiate singing and the development of singing traditions from the earliest days of the American college. Winstead explores this tradition’s tenuous beginnings in the Puritan era and follows its progress into the present. Using historical documents provided by various universities, When Colleges Sang follows the unique applications and influences of song that persist in various forms. This original and significant contribution to the literature of higher education sheds light on how college singing traditions have evolved through the generations and have continued to remain culturally relevant even today. J. Lloyd Winstead is associate director of the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts at the University of Georgia.

alabama / civil rights

Opening the Doors The Desegregation of the University of Alabama and the Fight for Civil Rights in Tuscaloosa B. J. Hollars Opening the Doors is a wide-ranging account of the University of Alabama’s 1956 and 1963 desegregation attempts, as well as the little-known story of Tuscaloosa, Alabama’s, own civil rights movement. Whereas E. Culpepper Clark’s The Schoolhouse Door remains the standard history of the University of Alabama’s desegregation, in Opening the Doors B. J. Hollars focuses on Tuscaloosa’s purposeful divide between “town” and “gown,” providing a new contextual framework for this landmark period in civil rights history. The image of George Wallace’s stand in the schoolhouse door has long burned in American consciousness; however, just as interesting are the circumstances that led him there in the first place, a process that proved successful due to the concerted efforts of dedicated student leaders, a progressive university president, a steadfast administration, and secret negotiations between the US Justice Department, the White House, and Alabama’s stubborn governor. In the months directly following Governor Wallace’s infamous stand, Tuscaloosa became home to a leader of a very different kind: twentyeight-year-old African American reverend T. Y. Rogers, an up-and-comer in the civil rights movement, as well as the protégé of Martin Luther King Jr. After taking a post at Tuscaloosa’s First African Baptist Church, Rogers began laying the groundwork for the city’s own civil rights movement. In the summer of 1964, the struggle for equality in Tuscaloosa resulted in the integration of the city’s public facilities, a march on the county courthouse, a bloody battle between police and protesters, confrontations with the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, a bus boycott, and the nearaccidental lynching of movie star Jack Palance. Relying heavily on new firsthand accounts and personal interviews, newspapers, previously classified documents, and archival research, Hollars’s in-depth reporting reveals the courage and conviction of a town, its university, and the people who call it home. B. J. Hollars is an assistant professor of creative writing at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire and the author of Thirteen Loops: Race, Violence, and the Last Lynching in America.

Hollars has the ability to always keep readers anticipating what will happen next. No other account gives a better background on this topic.” —Linda R. Beito, coauthor of Black Maverick: T. R. M. Howard’s Fight for Civil Rights and Economic Power “This is a serious, high-minded, thoroughly researched piece of work by a very capable writer. The most important contribution of this book is to place the nationally symbolic story of the University of Alabama’s desegregation in the same context with the intense local struggle for civil rights that was taking place concurrently in Tuscaloosa, which is almost entirely overlooked in civil rights literature. Hollars’s book goes a long way toward addressing that oversight and thus tells a story that most readers will find unfamiliar, yet intriguing.” — Frye Gaillard, author of Cradle of Freedom: Alabama and the Movement that Changed America and Alabama’s Civil Rights Trail: An Illustrated Guide to the Cradle of Freedom “B. J. Hollars has written an important, fascinating, and timely book about the desegregation era.” — Winston Groom, author of Shiloh, 1862; The Crimson Tide: The Official Illustrated History of Alabama Football, National Championship Edition; Vicksburg, 1863; and Forrest Gump

The Pet Thief Kassten Alonso

The Pet Thief is a dystopian fable of science, rebellion, humankind’s inhumanity, and the struggle for identity and survival in a post-human world. When scientists, the government, and venture capitalists conspire to hybridize humans with animals—cats, specifically—for organ harvesting, drug testing, and military applications, the experiment is an irredeemable failure, producing humanlike beings with uncanny abilities who are nonetheless fundamentally defective. Oboy and his mentor/tormentor Freda are two wayward hybrids, “cat people,” who have escaped with others to the depths of a rundown European city being leveled for reconstruction. They are members of a street gang led by an ominous leader called Swan.

Kassten Alonso frack’s the mother tongue. This book is one mean meaning.”

Oboy is unable to think or speak except in mimicry, but he is a physical savant, which serves Freda’s mission. Enraged at what has been done to her, Freda wants to “rescue” every pet she can. When Oboy returns with a human baby after his first solo outing, their world and the truths of their existence come unraveled. Kassten Alonso’s first novel Core: A Romance was an Oregon Book Awards finalist in 2005. He has previously published in the Portland Mercury, Portland Monthly, and the Oregonian, and was a contributor to Citadel of the Spirit: Oregon’s Sesquicentennial Anthology, A Merging of Past and Present Oregon Voices and Stories. He lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife, author Monica Drake, and daughter, Mavis.

They Dragged Them Through the Streets: A Novel Hilary Plum

Hilary Plum’s grave and elegant novel They Dragged Them Through the Streets is a bold meditation on human suffering and the sorrowful challenges of men and women striving for collective change. A veteran of the US war in Iraq commits suicide, and his brother joins with four friends in search of ways to protest the war. Together they undertake a series of small-scale bombings until an explosion claims one of their own. This is an elegy for those two deaths and the war itself. In They Dragged Them Through the Streets Hilary Plum gives form to the anger and troubled idealism of the American home front’s experience of today’s wars. Moving freely in time among multiple narrators who are seldom named or clearly identified, They Dragged Them Through the Streets highlights the trauma of being unable to hold on to what matters in life, to find a way to alter or influence what cannot be controlled. Poverty, madness, despair, the deep bonds and boundaries of friendship, love, family, national politics, the obsession with war, addiction, idealism, nostalgia, grief—these all have a place in Plum’s reckoning. This is an innovative work in the great tradition of war literature and a singular chronicle of one generation’s conflicts. Hilary Plum is from New England and now lives in central Pennsylvania. This is her first novel.

But we need to be reminded of our reality largely filled with wars. And we wait. And this novel does it. I read it as if in one breath, grateful on behalf of the millions who could identify with it. It took a woman with a conscience who’s also a ‘woman of words’ such as Hilary Plum to create a bunch of people scarred by the war (in Iraq), to speak on behalf of the living and of the dead, as Literature must. She does more than combat silence, she conveys the sense that each of us is history (even if a history of lies), that we are American history. And her novel makes it clear that the great American silence is at the root of the great American melancholy.” — Etel Adnan, Master of the Eclipse “In the cool and graceful prose of They Dragged Them Through the Streets, Hilary Plum traces the fault lines of paradox and contradiction her cast of young activists are driven by as they attempt to make sense of and respond to the official violence of the era. This courageous novel addresses the anxieties of our age.” — Stanley Crawford, Petroleum Man: A Novel

When Winning Was Everything Alabama Football Players in World War II Delbert Reed Foreword by Paul W. Bryant Jr.

Distributed for the Paul W. Bryant Museum The personal war stories of many of the Crimson Tide football players who participated in the Good War are told in When Winning Was Everything, a tribute to all the players who earned our enduring admiration not only on the football field but also in wartime.

“Fight! Keep on fighting! A man that won’t be defeated can’t be defeated.” —Wallace Wade

More than three hundred former University of Alabama football players and coaches saw military duty during World War II, and many of them played heroic leading roles in the bitter fight against Axis aggression. Their stories are given compelling life by Delbert Reed in When Winning Was Everything: Alabama Football Players in World War II. Alabama football players, like millions of other young men in America, rushed to join the fight soon after the Japanese bombed the US Navy’s Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941. Six Crimson Tide players joined the Marines at halftime during one Alabama football game. Two others—Paul “Bear” Bryant and George Zivich—literally pushed their way to the front of the line to join up. Former University of Alabama football players served on every front and in almost every major battle of World War II. They were privates and colonels, pilots and foot soldiers. They served on submarines and carriers, flew bombers and led pack mules through thick Asian jungles. They were frontline Marines and training instructors and everything in between. They helped make up America’s fighting team in wartime, and, as Delbert Reed shows, their victory was far greater than any Rose Bowl win. Delbert Reed, writer in residence at the Paul Bryant Museum at the University of Alabama for more than three years, is an award-winning journalist and author. He is the author of Paul “Bear” Bryant: What Made Him a Winner.

Mosquitoes of the Southeastern United States Nathan D. Burkett-Cadena

Mosquitoes of the Southeastern United States is a full-color, highly illustrated guide to the sixty-four known species of mosquitoes in eleven genera that populate the South—from the Gulf Coastal states to the Carolinas. In addition to detailed and fully illustrated identification keys for both larvae and adults, Mosquitoes of the Southeastern United States includes information on the mosquitoes’ lifecycles, interaction with humans, and biological diversity in the Southeast. This area of the country has a rich mosquito fauna with diverse species ranging from the tiny pitcherplant mosquito to the brilliantly colored cannibal mosquito. Close-up photographs of live adults showcase their widely varied and beautiful bodies while remarkable images made with the aid of a microaquarium reveal the differences in larval stages of the subjects. For each species described, Nathan D. Burkett-Cadena provides distribution maps, habitat associations of the larvae and adults, range of animals fed upon, and diseases spread by the mosquitoes. may 8.75 x 11.5 / 208 pages / 557 illustrations, including 182 color photographs and 70 maps ISBN: 978-0-8173-1781-2 / $54.95s cloth ISBN: 978-0-8173-8648-1 / $54.95 ebook “When all of the segments of this book are put together—lengthy discussions, illustrated keys, and color plates—it offers an excellent manual for the identification of mosquitoes and a study of the biological elements helpful to mosquito-control agencies. Those responsible for providing vector control will be better able to understand the details of mosquitoes and their biology by using this book. Also, instructors of medical entomology will be able to use this manual to teach the segment on Culicidae.” — Richard F. Darsie Jr., coauthor of Identification and Geographical Distribution of the Mosquitoes of North America, North of Mexico

This book’s usefulness to mosquito control programs in the Southeast and beyond cannot be overstated. Not only native species, but also new species introduced from exotic locales must be properly identified in order to know how best to eradicate or control them. This volume will be valuable to medical and public health specialists working on mosquito-borne diseases, such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile virus, and filariasis. Mosquitoes of the Southeastern United States is the first guide to integrate full-color photography, illustrated keys, and current information on the biology of mosquitoes into one definitive resource. Nathan D. Burkett-Cadena is a research entomologist in the Department of Global Health at the University of South Florida. He has published fifteen professional papers in scientific journals and one book chapter, “Morphological Adaptations of Parasitic Arthropods,” in the second edition of Medical and Veterinary Entomology.

“The photos in Mosquitoes of the Southeastern United States are wonderful and unmatched for many of the species. The addition of information on each species provides valuable species-specific characteristics that may not be available in some of the programs and certainly not in the textbooks for environmental health personnel. This book fills a long-needed gap in our knowledge of the mosquitoes of Alabama. Adding those in Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee enhances the desirability for mosquito-control specialists to own and use the book. Gaining every tidbit of knowledge adds to understanding these very fascinating and important insects.” — Bruce Harrison, medical entomologist/taxonomist at the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources

From a Love of History The A. S. Williams III Americana Collection at the University of Alabama Stephen M. Rowe Foreword by Wayne Flynt

Published in Cooperation with the University Libraries, The University of Alabama A handsome, richly illustrated guide to the A. S. Williams III Americana Collection at the University of Alabama, From a Love of History introduces one of the most important archives of southern history and literature ever gathered in one place. A. S. Williams III, of Birmingham, Alabama, is an insurance executive and bibliophile who over some forty years assembled a rich collection of Americana that is exceptional in size and scope, many parts of it rare and unstudied by scholars. The A. S. Williams III Americana Collection, housed at the Gorgas Library at the University of Alabama since 2010, includes some twenty thousand volumes and pamphlets published between the late seventeenth century and early twenty-first century. These pertain to the US presidencies and the history and culture of the South. The Civil War is particularly well represented by some six thousand published volumes.. Portions of the collection contain archival materials ranging from nineteenth-century letters, diaries, and newspapers to business records and a wide variety of documents recording the American experience of both the famous and the unknown from the mid-eighteenth century to the Great Depression. Particularly noteworthy are some fifteen thousand photographs of the South taken between the 1850s and the mid-1930s. Smaller collections include early southern maps; the African American experience in the South, with emphasis on materials relating to historically black educational institutions; the financial history of the United States from pre-Revolutionary times to the founding of the Bank of the United States; and some volumes of southern fiction ranging from well-known literary landmarks to obscure works by lesser-known and unstudied writers.

july 9 x 12 / 192 pages / 300 illustrations isbn: 978-0-8173-1816-1 / $49.95s cloth

“This book will take its place with the others I love, telling the story of a journey of discovery and describing what was found. It is unique in its obsession with topics (early American political and national history), a region of the country (the South, black and white, centered in the Civil War, the region’s most important event), and a state (everything pertaining to Alabama). This book, skillfully shaped around these themes, becomes not only the window to a curious collector, but also to a monumental collection, itself a primary document in the history of a people. And the artifacts themselves described in this book will tease, seduce, tempt, and finally obsess others as it did the collection’s founder and me.” — From the foreword by Wayne Flynt

From a Love of History, written by Stephen M. Rowe, the longtime curator of Williams’s private collection, organizes the vast range of materials into ten chapters, paralleling the organization of the collection itself. Following a general overview of the collection’s genesis in Williams’s passion for history, the chapters each contain a short introduction and a beautifully designed sampling of the materials in the collection accompanied by full and compelling captions. Stephen M. Rowe is archivist and curator of the Eufaula Athenaeum, Eufaula, Alabama. A native of Richmond, Virginia, and a graduate of North Carolina State University at Raleigh, he was an assistant archivist at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation from 1974 to 1977. Since 1983 he has worked as an antiquarian bookseller and appraiser.

Diamonds in the Rough A History of Alabama’s Cahaba Coal Field James Sanders Day

Diamonds in the Rough reconstructs the historical moment that defined the Cahaba Coal Field, a mineral-rich area that stretches across sixty-seven miles and four counties of central Alabama. Combining existing written sources with oral accounts and personal recollections, James Sanders Day’s Diamonds in the Rough describes the numerous coal operations in this region—later overshadowed by the rise of the Birmingham district and the larger Warrior Field to the north. Many of the capitalists are the same: Truman H. Aldrich, Henry F. DeBardeleben, and James W. Sloss, among others; however, the plethora of small independent enterprises, properties of the coal itself, and technological considerations distinguish the Cahaba from other Alabama coal fields. Relatively short-lived, the Cahaba coal-mining operation spanned from discovery in the 1840s through development, boom, and finally bust in the mid-1950s. june 6 x 9 / 300 pages / 27 b&w illustrations, including 2 maps / 2 tables ISBN: 978-0-8173-1794-2 / $49.95s cloth ISBN: 978-0-8173-8674-0 / $49.95 ebook “Day’s discovery of massive documentation of the earliest geological and economic development of the antebellum Bibb-Shelby County coal industry is a remarkable accomplishment. More important, he has mastered the complex financial and social structures, which are essential for any understanding of the subject. His work on I. T. Tichenor and the complicated coal baron rivalries and alliances of the Reconstruction era are no less important. Day writes as an honest broker, presenting both sides of the complicated management-labor divide without the special pleading either way that accompanies far too much labor history in Alabama. . . . This is rich social, economic, and labor history at its best.” — Wayne Flynt, author of Poor but Proud: Alabama’s Poor Whites and Keeping the Faith: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives “While concentrating on the Cahaba Coal Field, Diamonds in the Rough focuses on mining practices and labor problems throughout the coal industry in the Birmingham district from the mid-1800s to the 1970s. Not only is Day’s book an appealing account, it is an excellent reference and adds to the collective knowledge of the mining industry at a place where it originated just prior to the Civil War. It belongs on the bookshelves of all who love to explore Alabama’s industrial beginnings.”

Day considers the chronological discovery, mapping, mining, and marketing of the field’s coal as well as the issues of convict leasing, town development, welfare capitalism, and unionism, weaving it all into a rich tapestry. At the heart of the story are the diverse people who lived and worked in the district—whether operator or miner, management or labor, union or nonunion, white or black, immigrant or native—who left a legacy for posterity now captured in Diamonds in the Rough. Largely obscured today by pine trees and kudzu, the mining districts of the Cahaba Coal Field forever influenced the lives of countless individuals and families, and ultimately contributed to the whole fabric of the state of Alabama. “Diamonds in the Rough will serve as an excellent addition to the literature on southern industrialization. Day has done a great deal of research that he has worked into an accessible, thorough, and very clear history of the Cahaba coal field.” — Sean Patrick Adams, author of Old Dominion, Industrial Commonwealth: Coal, Politics, and Economy in Antebellum America James Sanders Day is an assistant vice president for academic affairs and an associate professor of history at the University of Montevallo.

Southern History / Political Science

The Irony of the Solid South Democrats, Republicans, and Race, 1865–1944 Glenn Feldman

The Irony of the Solid South examines how the South became the “Solid South” for the Democratic Party and how that solidarity began to crack with the advent of American involvement in World War II. Relying on a sophisticated analysis of secondary research—as well as a wealth of deep research in primary sources such as letters, diaries, interviews, court cases, newspapers, and other archival materials—Glenn Feldman argues in The Irony of the Solid South that the history of the solid Democratic South is actually marked by several ironies that involve a concern with the fundamental nature of southern society and culture and the central place that race and allied types of cultural conservatism have played in ensuring regional distinctiveness and continuity across time and various partisan labels. Along the way, this account has much to say about the quality and nature of the New Deal in Dixie, and about southern liberalism and its fatal shortcomings. Feldman focuses primarily on Alabama and race but also considers at length circumstances in the other southern states as well as insights into the uses of emotional issues other than race that have been used time and again to distract whites from their economic and material interests. Feldman explains how conservative political forces (Bourbon Democrats, Dixiecrats, George Wallace, independents, and eventually the modern GOP) ingeniously fused white supremacy with economic conservatism based on the common glue of animus to the federal government. A second great melding is exposed, one that joined economic fundamentalism to the religious kind along the shared axis of antidemocratic impulses. Feldman’s study has much to say about southern and American conservatism, the enduring power of cultural and emotional issues, and the modern South’s path to becoming solidly Republican. Glenn Feldman is a professor in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and author of Politics, Society, and the Klan in Alabama, 1915–1949.

It reflects deep research and a well-wrought argument for the primacy of race that is a powerful challenge to that new historiography that runs the danger of becoming as ‘orthodox’ as earlier arguments for the primacy of race in twentieth-century politics. It is an impressive marshaling of powerful evidence for an argument that will challenge much of the current historical literature.” — Dan T.

Migration and Immigration/Literary Criticism/African American Studies

Race and Displacement Nation, Migration, and Identity in the Twenty-First Century Edited by Maha Marouan and Merinda Simmons Foreword by Houston A. Baker Jr. Afterword by Trudier Harris

Race and Displacement captures a timely set of discussions about the roles of race in displacement, forced migrations, nation and nationhood, and the way continuous movements of people challenge fixed racial definitions.

august 6 x 9 inches / 248 pages / 2 B&W illustrations ISBN: 978-0-8173-1801-7 / $44.95s cloth ISBN: 978-0-8173-8679-5 / $44.95 ebook “The editors have collected essays that allow for a highly nuanced exploration of race in a way that has not been seen or explored previously. This is well researched and elegantly presented.” — Lovalerie King, author of Race, Theft, and Ethics: Property Matters in African American Literature Contributors

Regina N. Barnett / Philip D. Beidler / Walter Bosse / Ashon T. Crawley / Matthew Dischinger / Melanie Fritsh / Jonathan Glover / Delia Hagen / Deborah Katz / Kathrin Kottemann / Abigail G. H. Manzella / Yumi Pak / Cassander L. Smith / Lauren Vedal

The multifaceted approach of the essays in Race and Displacement allows for nuanced discussions of race and displacement in expansive ways, exploring those issues in transnational and global terms. The contributors not only raise questions about race and displacement as signifying tropes and lived experiences, they also offer compelling approaches to conversations about race, displacement, and migration both inside and outside the academy. Taken together, these essays become a case study in dialogues across disciplines, providing insight from scholars in diaspora studies, postcolonial studies, literary theory, race theory, gender studies, and migration studies. The contributors to this volume use a variety of analytical and disciplinary methodologies to track multiple articulations of how race is encountered and defined. The book is divided by editors Maha Marouan and Merinda Simmons into four sections: “Race and Nation” considers the relationships between race and corporality in transnational histories of migration using literary and oral narratives. Essays in “Race and Place” explore the ways spatial mobility in the twentieth century influences and transforms notions of racial and cultural identity. Essays in “Race and Nationality” address race and its configuration in national policy, such as racial labeling, federal regulations, and immigration law. In the last section, “Race and the Imagination,” contributors explore the role imaginative projections play in shaping understandings of race. Together, these essays tackle the question of how we might productively engage race and place in new sociopolitical contexts. Tracing the roles of “race” from the corporeal and material to the imaginative, the essays chart new ways that concepts of origin, region, migration, displacement, and diasporic memory create understandings of race in literature, social performance, and national policy. Maha Marouan is an assistant professor in the Gender and Race Studies Department and the director of the African American Studies Program at the University of Alabama. Merinda Simmons is an assistant professor in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Alabama. Her current research examines Afro-Caribbean and African American women’s migration narratives in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Literary Criticism/African American Studies/Music

Jazz in the Time of the Novel The Temporal Politics of American Race and Culture Bruce Barnhart Winner of the Elizabeth Agee Prize in American Literature Jazz in the Time of the Novel argues that a culture’s understanding of the concept of time plays a central role in its economic, social, and aesthetic affairs and that a culture arrives at its conception of time through its artistic practices. Bruce Barnhart, in Jazz in the Time of the Novel, shows that American culture of the first three decades of the twentieth century was shaped by the kindred rhythms and movements of two particular art forms: jazz and fiction. At the beginning of the twentieth century, widespread changes in America’s social, demographic, and economic norms threatened longstanding faith in a unified and inevitable movement towards a better future. As Barnhart shows, both jazz and novels of the period address these temporal uncertainties, inserting themselves into arguments about the proper unfolding of an affirmative American future. Barnhart proposes that these two aesthetic forms can be viewed as coparticipants in an ongoing discussion about the way in which the future should be imagined and experienced—a discussion symptomatic of the broader exchanges taking place within the many trajectories comprising early twentieth-century American culture.

In addition to the details of specific musical and literary works, Jazz in the Time of the Novel offers careful consideration as to how these works impact their social context.

literary criticism / women’s studies

Playing House in the American West Western Women’s Life Narratives, 1839–1987 Cathryn Halverson Examining an eclectic group of western women’s autobiographical texts—canonical and otherwise—Playing House in the American West argues for a distinct regional literary tradition characterized by strategic representations of unconventional domestic life. The controlling metaphor Cathryn Halverson uses in her engrossing study is “playing house.” From Caroline Kirkland and Laura Ingalls Wilder to Willa Cather and Marilynne Robinson, from the mid-nineteenth to the late-twentieth centuries, western authors have persistently embraced wayward or eccentric housekeeping to prove a woman’s difference from western neighbors and eastern readers alike.

august 6 x 9 inches / 256 pages / 11 B&W illustrations ISBN: 978-0-8173-1803-1 / $44.95s cloth ISBN: 978-0-8173-8686-3 / $44.95 ebook “Playing House in the American West makes a worthwhile contribution to scholarly work in western American literature and in women’s autobiographical writing. The book’s key contribution to this field is a new lens—the idea of playing house—through which to view women’s fictional and nonfictional accounts of home space and domestic activity.” — Kathleen A. Boardman, coeditor of Western Subjects: Autobiographical Writing in the North American West

| spring 2013

The readings in Playing House in the American West investigate the surprising textual ends to which westerners turn the familiar terrain of the home: evaluating community; arguing for different conceptions of race and class; and perhaps most especially, resisting traditional gender roles. Western women writers, Halverson argues, render the home as a stage for autonomy, resistance, and imagination rather than as a site of sacrifice and obligation. The western women examined in Playing House in the American West are promoted and read as representatives of a region, as insiders offering views of distant and intriguing ways of life, even as they conceive of themselves as outsiders. By playing with domestic conventions, they recast the region they describe, portraying the West as a place that fosters female agency, individuality, and subjectivity. Cathryn Halverson is the author of Maverick Autobiographies: Women Writers and the American West, 1900–1936. She has published articles in Western American Literature, College Literature, a/b: Auto/Biography Studies, Rocky Mountain Review of Language and Literature, Children’s Literature in Education, American Studies, and American Indian Culture and Research Journal. She teaches at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Literary Criticism / Music

Sounding Real Musicality and American Fiction at the Turn of the Twentieth Century Cristina L. Ruotolo Examining American realist fiction as it was informed and shaped by the music of the period, Sounding Real sheds new light on the profound musical and cultural changes at the turn of the twentieth century. Sounding Real by Cristina L. Ruotolo examines landmark changes in American musical standards and tastes in the late-nineteenth and earlytwentieth centuries and the way they are reflected in American literature of the period. Whereas other interdisciplinary approaches to music and literature often focus on more recent popular music and black music that began with blues and jazz, Ruotolo addresses the literary response to the music that occurred in the decades before the Jazz Age. By bringing together canonical and lesser-known works by authors like Theodore Dreiser, Kate Chopin, Harold Fredric, James Weldon Johnson, Willa Cather, and Gertrude Atherton, Ruotolo argues that new, emerging musical forms were breaking free from nineteenth-century constraints, and that the elemental authenticity or realness that this new music articulated sparked both interest and anxiety in literature: What are the effects of an emancipated musicality on self and society? How can literature dramatize musical encounters between people otherwise segregated by class, race, ethnicity, or gender?

By examining the influence of an increasingly aggressive and progressive musical marketplace on the realm of literature, Sounding Real depicts a dynamic dialogue between two art forms that itself leads to a broader discussion of how art speaks to society.

“Sounding Real is a remarkable book, a pleasure to read, written in engaging prose, by someone who is professionally trained in both music and literature, and hence commands the material and the methodology of both fields—something that happens all too rarely in similar books.”

Cristina L. Ruotolo is an associate professor of humanities at San Francisco State University, where she also directs the American studies program. She has worked as a professional violinist and holds a masters degree in music from the New England Conservatory of Music.

Literary Criticism / American Studies

Fighting Words Polemics and Social Change in Literary Naturalism Ira Wells Fighting Words offers an entirely new understanding of what literary naturalism is and why it matters. Ira Wells, countering the standard narrative of literary naturalism’s much-touted concern with environmental and philosophical determinism, draws attention to the polemical essence of the genre and demonstrates how literary naturalists engaged instead with explosive political and cultural issues that remain fervently debated today. Naturalist writers, Wells argues in Fighting Words, are united less by a coherent philosophy than by an attitude, a posture of aggressive controversy, which happens to cluster loosely around particular social issues. To an extent not yet appreciated, literary naturalists took controversial—and frequently contrarian—positions on a wide range of literary, political, and social issues.

L. Mencken’s notion of using words to ‘fight.’ It is impressive.” — Jeanne Campbell Reesman, author of Jack London’s Racial Lives: A Critical Biography and Speaking the Other Self: American Women Writers

Frank Norris, for instance, famously declared the innate inferiority of female novelists and frequently wrote about literature in tones suggestive of racial warfare. Theodore Dreiser once advocated, with deadly earnestness, a program of state-run infanticide for disabled or unwanted children. Richard Wright praised the Stalin-Hitler agreement of 1939 as “a great step toward peace.” While many of their arguments were irascible, attention-seeking, and self-consciously inflammatory, the combative spirit that fueled these outbursts remains central to the canonical texts of the movement. Wells considers Frank Norris’s The Octopus in light of the emerging discourses of environmentalism and ecological despoliation, and examines the issue of abortion in Theodore Dreiser’s An American Tragedy. A chapter on Richard Wright’s Native Son takes issue with traditional humanistic readings of its protagonist by analyzing the disturbing relationship between terrorism and lynching as a crime and punishment that resists formal incorporation into the law. By highlighting the contentious rhetoric that infuses the canonical texts of literary naturalism, Fighting Words opens up a wide-ranging and interdisciplinary interrogation of racial, sexual, and environmental polemics in American culture. Ira Wells is an assistant professor in the Department of English and Drama at the University of Toronto, Mississauga. He has published refereed articles in American Quarterly, University of Toronto Quarterly, and Popular Music and Society.

Poetics / Literary Criticism

Stubborn Poetries Poetic Facticity and the Avant-Garde Peter Quartermain

Stubborn Poetries is a study of poets whose work, because of its difficulty, apparent obduracy, or simple resistance to conventional explication, remains more-or-less firmly outside the canon. The focus of the essays in Stubborn Poetries by Peter Quartermain is on nonmainstream poets--often unknown, unstudied, and neglected writers whose work bucks preconceived notions of what constitutes the avant-garde. “Canonical Strategies and the Question of Authority: T. S. Eliot and William Carlos Williams” opens the collection and sounds a central theme: Quartermain argues that Williams, especially in his early work, sought noncanonical status, in contrast to Eliot, who rapidly identified his work with a literary and critical establishment. As is well known, Eliot attracted early critical and academic attention; Williams did not. Williams’s insistence that the personal and individual constituted his sole authority is echoed again and again in the work of the writers examined in the subsequent essays. In considering the question “What makes the poems the way they are?” most of the essays offer close readings (etymological, social, linguistic, and even political) of linguistically innovative twentieth-century poets. Linguistic innovation, as Marjorie Perloff and many other critics have shown, shows no reverence for national boundaries; two of the poets discussed are British (Basil Bunting and Richard Caddel) and two Canadian (Robin Blaser and Steve McCaffery). The last four essays in the book consider more general topics: the shape and nature of the book, the nature of poetic fact, the performance of the poem (is it possible to read a poem aloud well?), and--closing the book--an excursus (via the Greek myth of Io and the typography of Geofroy Tory) on the alphabet. Peter Quartermain taught contemporary poetry and poetics at the University of British Columbia for over thirty years, retiring in 1999. He is the author of Disjunctive Poetics: From Gertrude Stein and Louis Zukofsky to Susan Howe and Basil Bunting: Poet of the North. With Rachel Blau DuPlessis, he is coeditor of The Objectivist Nexus: Essays in Cultural Poetics. Modern and Contemporary Poetics Charles Bernstein and Hank Lazer, series editors

Frank Norris Remembered Edited by Jesse S. Crisler and Joseph R. McElrath Jr.

Frank Norris Remembered is a collection of reminiscences by Norris’s contemporaries, friends, and family that illuminate the life of one of America’s most popular novelists. Considering his undergraduate education spent studying art at Académie Julian in Paris and creative writing at Harvard and his journalism career reporting from the far reaches of South Africa and Cuba, it is difficult to fathom how Frank Norris also found time to compose seven novels during the course of his brief life. But despite his adventures abroad, Norris turned out novels at a dizzying pace. He published Moran of the Lady Letty in 1888, McTeague early in 1899, Blix later that year, A Man’s Woman in February 1900, and The Octopus, the first in his ultimately unfinished “Epic of the Wheat” trilogy, in 1901. By informing his novels with his own experiences abroad, Norris composed works that were politically charged and culturally relevant and that made considerable contributions to the character of American literature in the twentieth century. june 6 x 9 / 272 pages / 4 b&w illustrations ISBN: 978-0-8173-1795-9 / $44.95s cloth ISBN: 978-0-8173-8672-6 / $44.95 ebook “This book is a valuable contribution to Frank Norris studies and to the nature and study of biographical research and work. Many areas of Norris’s life were shadowy. In this book we get many of those shadows cleared away to get a portrait of Norris as much more of a human being and writer than has previously been the case.” — Benjamin F. Fisher, author of Poe in His Own Time: A Biographical Chronicle of His Life, Drawn from Recollections, Interviews, and Memoirs by Family, Friends, and Associates “When I get one of Those Letters, or face another review that accuses me of being a vulgar lowbrow—which to some extent I am—I take comfort from the words of turn-of-the-century social realist Frank Norris, whose novels include The Octopus, The Pit, and McTeague, an authentically great book. Norris wrote about working-class guys on ranches, in city laboring jobs, in factories. McTeague, the main character of Norris’s finest work, is an unschooled dentist. Norris’s books provoked a good deal of public outrage, to which Norris responded coolly and disdainfully: ‘What do I care for their opinions? I never truckled. I told them the truth.’”

Frank Norris died at the age of thirty-two in 1902 from peritonitis resulting from a burst appendix, leaving behind a wife, a daughter, and an unfinished series of novels (two of which, The Pit and Vandover and the Brute, were published posthumously). The aim of Frank Norris Remembered, edited by Jesse S. Crisler and Joseph R. McElrath Jr., is to re-create the short, spectacular life of this American author through the eyes of those who knew him best. The fifty reminiscences included in this book feature the voices of Frank N. Doubleday; William Dean Howells; Hamlin Garland; Norris’s wife, Jeannette; and many others who were lucky enough to form a relationship with this vital twentieth-century American author, artist, and adventurer. Jesse S. Crisler and Joseph R. McElrath Jr. are the coauthors of Frank Norris: A Life and the coeditors of An Exemplary Citizen: Letters of Charles W. Chesnutt, 1906–1932 and Charles W.

Cultural Anthropology / Environmental Studies

Cultural Forests of the Amazon A Historical Ecology of People and Their Landscapes William Balée Cultural Forests of the Amazon is a comprehensive and diverse account of how indigenous people transformed landscapes and managed resources in the most extensive region of tropical forests in the world. Until recently, most scholars and scientists, as well as the general public, thought indigenous people had a minimal impact on Amazon forests, once considered to be total wildernesses. William Balée’s research, conducted over a span of three decades, shows a more complicated truth. In Cultural Forests of the Amazon, he argues that indigenous people, past and present, have time and time again profoundly transformed nature into culture. Moreover, they have done so using their traditional knowledge and technology developed over thousands of years. Balée demonstrates the inestimable value of indigenous knowledge in providing guideposts for a potentially less destructive future of environments and biota in the Amazon. He shows that we can no longer think about species and landscape diversity in any tropical forest without taking into account the intricacies of human history and the impact of all forms of knowledge and technology. Balée describes the development of his historical ecology approach in Amazonia, along with important material on little-known forest dwellers and their habitats, current thinking in Amazonian historical ecology, and a narrative of his own dialogue with the Amazon and its people. William Balée, a world-renowned expert on the cultural and historical ecology of the Amazon basin, is the author of Footprints of the Forest: Ka’apor Ethnobotany—The Historical Ecology of Plant Utilization by an Amazonian People.

From Princess to Chief Life with the Waccamaw Siouan Indians of North Carolina Priscilla Freeman Jacobs and Patricia Barker Lerch A collaborative life history of Priscilla Freeman Jacobs, From Princess to Chief tells the story of the first female chief (from 1986 to 2005) of the state-recognized Waccamaw Siouan Indian Tribe of North Carolina. In From Princess to Chief, Priscilla Freeman Jacobs and Patricia Barker Lerch detail Jacobs’s birth and childhood, coming of age, education, young adulthood, marriage and family, Indian activism, and spiritual life. Jacobs is descended from a family of Indian leaders whose activism dates back to the early twentieth century. Her ancestors pressured the local county and state governments to fund their Indian schools, led the drive for the Waccamaw Sioux to be recognized as Indians in state and federal legislation, and finally succeeded in opening the long-awaited Indian schools in the 1930s. Jacobs’s lasting legacies to her community include the many initiatives on which she collaborated with her father, Clifton Freeman, including the acquisition of common land for the tribe, initiation of a tribal board of directors, incorporation of a development association, and the establishment of a day care and many other social and educational programs. In the 1970s Jacobs served on the North Carolina Commission of Indian Affairs and was active in the Coalition of Eastern Native Americans. Introducing the powwow as a way for young people to learn about the traditions of Indian people throughout the state of North Carolina, Jacobs taught many children how to dance and wear Indian regalia with pride and dignity. Throughout her life, Priscilla Jacobs has worked hard to preserve the traditional customs of her people and to teach others about the folk culture that shaped and molded her as a person. Told from the point of view of an eyewitness to the community’s effort to win federal recognition in 1950 and their lives since, From Princess to Chief helps preserve the story of Jacobs’s Indian community.

Technology and Culture in Twentieth-Century Mexico Edited by Araceli Tinajero and J. Brian Freeman

Technology and Culture in Twentieth-Century Mexico offers a novel approach to Mexican studies by considering the complex relationship between technology, politics, society, and culture. While it is widely accepted by scholars that substantial changes in technology occurred in Mexico during the last century, very little has been written on these issues, perhaps because of a propensity to associate Mexico with tradition and folklore rather than technology, progress, and modernity.

This diverse collection of chapters—written by historians, literary scholars, social scientists, and cultural critics—tells this long-neglected story of technological change. Contributors examine themes ranging from the introduction of new forms of travel (automobiles, buses, trains, and subways) to innovations in media (radio, film, and the Internet) to the relationships between technology, literature, art, and architecture. Technology and Culture in Twentieth-Century Mexico, edited by Araceli Tinajero and J. Brian Freeman, illustrates the invention, use, and adaptation of technology, as well as the diverse ways that technology itself is both shaped by and shapes culture. This interdisciplinary book points to new directions in the study of Mexico and makes an important contribution to Latin American Studies and the history of technology. Araceli Tinajero is an associate professor at the Graduate Center, City University of New York and the cofounder of the Mexico Study Group at the Bildner Center for Western Hemisphere Studies. She is the author of Orientalismo en el modernismo hispanoamericano, El lector de tabaquería: Historia de una tradición cubana (El lector: A History of the Cigar Factory Reader), and the editor of Cultura y letras cubanas en el siglo XXI. J. Brian Freeman is a visiting researcher at the Centro de Investigacones Interdisciplinarias en Ciencias y Humanidades, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). His work has been published in various journals, including Studies in Latin American Popular Culture and the Journal of Latino–Latin American Studies. He is currently working on a book on the history of the automobile in twentieth-century Mexico.

Aymara Indian Perspectives on Development in the Andes Amy Eisenberg

Aymara Indian Perspectives on Development in the Andes explores the relationship between indigenous people, the management of natural resources, and the development process in a modernizing region of Chile. Aymara Indians are indigenous people living in the Andes Mountains near the Atacama Desert, one of the most arid regions of the world. Amy Eisenberg bases Aymara Indian Perspectives on Development in the Andes on a framework of collaborative research and a detailed understanding of issues from the native point of view. For Andean people, economic, spiritual, and social life are inextricably tied to land and water. The Aymara of Chile comprise a small, geographically isolated minority of the northern border Region XV, Arica y Parinacota, who are struggling to maintain their sustainable and traditional systems of irrigation water distribution, agriculture, and pastoralism in the Atacama Desert. Eisenberg explores the ethnoecological dimensions of the conflict between rapid economic growth and a sensitive cultural and natural resource base. This book is based on a framework of collaborative research and a detailed understanding of issues from the native point of view, and the author conducted ethnographic interviews with Aymara people in more than sixteen Andean villages. Eisenberg uses a multidisciplinary approach drawing upon botany, archaeology, and history to present the Aymara worldview and the struggle to maintain sustainable traditional systems of irrigation, agriculture, and pastoralism. The Aymara Indians face three major impediments: the paving of Chile Highway 11, the diversion of Altiplano waters of the Río Lauca for hydroelectricity and irrigation, and Chilean national park policies regarding their communities and natural resources. Ethnographic interviews with Aymara people reveal the cultural and environmental dimensions of the larger conflict between rapid economic growth and a sensitive cultural and natural resource base. The book also contains vivid photographic details of fieldwork, local people, and the environment by photographer John Amato.

She has also found a balance between scholarship and a lyrical writing style that tells a story that reflects a thematic metaphor of Aymara worldview that is engaging, coherent, and will retain the reader’s interest.” — Leslie E.

“ Well, my Dear, I am home by my lone self to night except the children, and they are all a sleep and know not what trouble is. You cant imagine how I feel. It is so lonsome. If you could be with me to night, how diferent I would feel but that can not be. I have been at work on the door to night, trying to fix it so I could bar it up, and I got it fixt so I could fasten it. I have been propping it up until I got tired of it, and I was afraid to lie down at night with the door open.” — From a letter written by Emily Beck Moxley

Rhetoric and the Republic Politics, Civic Discourse, and Education in Early America Mark Garrett Longaker

Winner of the James A. Winans–Herbert A. Wichelns Memorial Award for Distinguished Scholarship in Rhetoric and Public Address Longaker’s book is clearly an important contribution to our understanding of the rhetorical education of the republican era.

“ Stephen Tomlinson’s fascinating and very well-written study focuses on the evolution of phrenological ideas among leading thinkers and reformers in Europe and the United States and explores the impact of these ideas on a number of specific reforms, including public schooling and the care of the disabled. The author’s overarching argument is that while phrenology promised social progress—and helped propel a number of influential reforms—the doctrine also led in certain unhappy directions, such as racist theory and eugenics.” — Steven Mintz, author of Moralists and Modernizers: America’s Pre–Civil War Reformers

Laboring to Play Home Entertainment and the Spectacle of Middle-Class Cultural Life, 1850–1920 Melanie Dawson

“ The book’s central thesis is interesting, and Dawson carefully and conscientiously explores the cultural and literary landscape of her subject. The scholarship is impressive. . . . Overall, the book is meticulously researched, and Dawson’s careful examination of . . . primary historical sources . . . should be especially interesting to scholars interested in interdisciplinary approaches to American culture. For literary scholars, the book’s strength lies in its interplay of associations and in the way in which the author moves easily between historical descriptions of cultural phenomena and literary analysis. This interplay of associations allows Dawson to re-read sections of familiar texts in new ways. . . . Laboring to Play does an admirable job of helping us to better understand the goals, fears, and concerns of nineteenth-century middle-class American society, and opens up new areas for exploration and discussion of the literary texts that reflect this era.” —American Literary Realism

Walt Whitman and NineteenthCentury Women Reformers Sherry Ceniza

Winner of the Elizabeth Agee Prize “ Ceniza’s study provides the fullest account yet of Whitman’s relation to the American feminists of midcentury. . . . Ceniza’s book deals with . . . questions from a feminist position that clearly admires Whitman profoundly. She has made excellent use of archival material, uncovering a wealth of private or little-known comments on Whitman’s work by leading American feminists of the mid–nineteenth century. Ultimately a study in social history, Ceniza’s work will enable a significant reappraisal of Whitman and ‘the woman question.’” —American Literature

Crossing the River Shalom Eilati Translated by Vern Lenz

“ The book artfully weaves together the story of a young boy with the self-reflection of his older self, the writer. . . . Eilati ruminates on what it means to look back, even as he strives to go forward.” —Jewish News of Greater Phoenix “ Against the backdrop of Lithuania’s occupation—first by the Red Army, next by the Germans, and then again by the Russians—this is a story reflected through the prism of a child, Shalom Eilati. His story starts in the occupied Kovno Ghetto and ends with his flight across the Soviet border, through Poland and Germany and finally, his arrival in Palestine. The adult survivor also takes stock of his present life. Throughout the memoir, Eilati attempts to reconcile his present life as a husband, father, scientist, and writer, with the images, feelings, and thoughts from the past.” june 6.125 x 9.25 / 312 pages / 16 b&w illustrations, including 2 maps ISBN: 978-0-8173-5758-0 / $29.95S paper ISBN: 978-0-8173-8682-5 / $29.95 ebook ISBN: 978-0-8173-1631-0 / $39.95t cloth

A Florida Fiddler The Life and Times of Richard Seaman Gregory Hansen

“ Hansen provides a thoughtful, multi-faceted portrait of the life and repertoire of fiddler, storyteller, and retired railroad worker Richard Seaman. . . . [He] crafts his text as a series of closely observed vignettes and character aspects to unfold the story and the significance of a long, rich, and deeply situated life.” —Journal of Folklore Research “ This work is a good primer for readers interested in performance studies under the umbrella of public folklore. Too often, public folklore work is accused of being under-analyzed and untheoretical, but Gregory Hansen’s A Florida Fiddler, straightforward in its delivery, does an excellent job of weaving his fieldwork in with theoretical approaches, from sociolinguistics to performance theory to tale-typing. . . .

We Are All Americans, Pure and Simple Theodore Roosevelt and the Myth of Americanism Leroy G. Dorsey

“ We Are All Americans, Pure and Simple: Theodore Roosevelt and the Myth of Americanism examines how Theodore Roosevelt defined American identity and its implication for racial relations. . . . Dorsey convincingly argues that even if Roosevelt gained politically from enfranchising minority populations, and even if his rhetoric was frequently harsh, ‘Roosevelt did negotiate civic and racial/ethnic traits into one American identity’ (139). Given the existing tensions regarding immigration in the United States, We Are All Americans, Pure and Simple has a lot to offer us in our conversations about nationalism and identity.” —Rhetoric and Public Affairs “With his We Are All Americans, Pure and Simple, Dorsey has made a true contribution, both to cultural studies and to the voluminous literature on Theodore Roosevelt.”

“ In this edition of Mallory’s journal the editors have limited their intrusion on the text, identifying interventions in square brackets and making a few silent corrections of the author’s accidental errors. Their numbered notes, which represent one-quarter of the volume, identify and explain not only persons, places, and events but also farming techniques and tools, as well as varieties of plants and insect pests mentioned in the text. Information in the notes is drawn from census, church, court, and military records; contemporary newspapers; and secondary sources. A detailed index facilitates reference on subjects ranging from agriculture to genealogy to religion. . . . Thanks to this edition of his journal by Grady McWhiney, the late Warner O. Moore Jr., and Robert F. Pace, we can see the variety of farmer-planters of the mid-nineteenth century South. And we can trace their perceptions from the antebellum frontier era through the Civil War and Reconstruction.” —Florida Historical Quarterly
