From the book

In this beautifully written memoir, the author of the popular China Bayles mystery series meditates on what it means to be married—to a person and a place—while also needing to be alone and experience silence and solitude

“Over the years, I’ve walked every inch of Meadow Knoll, the open fields and the densest cedar brakes, rooting myself in this place, grounding myself in its seasonal changes: the too-short springs; the too-long, too-hot summers; the glorious autumns and mild gray winters. . . . I think with a kind of awe that no human being has ever made a permanent home on this particular spot on the globe—Bill and I are the first. But that doesn’t mean that this place has no history, or that the land has not been used and changed by humans.

Its unimaginably long past is written in layers of limestone rock, in tree rings, in the arrow points chipped by Indians passing through, in rusty cowbells and the marks of wagon wheels on rock. Everything has a tongue. Everything speaks. To hear it, I have to be patient, and still, and silent.”

Together, Alone

A Memoir of Marriage and Place B y Su s a n W i t t i g A l b e r t

SUSAN WITTIG ALB ERT Bertram, Texas Susan Wittig Albert is the author of popular mysteries, including the acclaimed China Bayles series; books for young adults; and books for women on life-writing and work. A graduate of the University of Illinois (Urbana) and the University of California at Berkeley, she is a former university English professor and administrator. In 1997, she founded the Story Circle Network, a nonprofit organization for women who want to write about their lives.

Southwestern Writers Collection Series The Wittliff Collections at Texas State University–San Marcos Steven L. Davis, Editor

What does it mean to belong to a place, to be truly rooted and grounded in the place you call home? How do you commit to a marriage, to a full partnership with another person, and still maintain your own separate identity? These questions have been central to Susan Wittig Albert’s life, and in this beautifully written memoir, she movingly describes how she has experienced place, marriage, and aloneness while creating a home in the Texas Hill Country with her husband and writing partner, Bill Albert.

Together, Alone opens in 1985, as Albert leaves a successful, if rootless, career as a university administrator and begins a new life as a freelance writer, wife, and homesteader on a patch of rural land northwest of Austin. She vividly describes the work of creating a home at Meadow Knoll, a place in which she and Bill raised their own food and animals, while working together and separately on writing projects. Once her sense of home and partnership was firmly established, Albert recalls how she had to find its counterbalance—a place where she could be alone and explore those parts of the self that only emerge in solitude. For her, this place was Lebh Shomea, a silent monastic retreat. In writing about her time at Lebh Shomea, Albert reveals the deep satisfaction she finds in belonging to a community of people who have chosen to be apart and experience silence and solitude.

Fireflies

Photographs of Children

By Keith Carter

A superb collection of previously unpublished portraits of children and a selection of iconic images from Keith Carter’s books Mojo, Heaven of Animals, Holding Venus, and The Blue Man In Fireflies, Keith Carter presents a magical gallery of photographs of children and the world they inhabit. The collection includes both new work and iconic images such as “Fireflies,” “The Waltz,” “Chicken Feathers,” “Megan’s New Shoes,” and “Angel” selected from all of Carter’s rare and out-of-print books. When making these images, Carter often asked the children, “do you have something you would like to be photographed with?” This creative collaboration between photographer and subject has produced images that conjure up stories, dreams, and imaginary worlds. Complementing the photographs is an essay in which Carter poetically traces the wellsprings of his interest in photographing children to his own childhood experiences in Beaumont, Texas. As he recalls days spent exploring in the woods and creeks, it becomes clear that his art flows from a deep reservoir of sights and sounds imprinted in early childhood.

A lyrical meditation on the joys, wonders, and anxieties of childhood, Fireflies brings us back to the small truths that are often pushed aside or forgotten when we become adults.

“Some days I think of myself as the Flannery O’Connor of children’s photography. My pictures occasionally tend toward the dark or solitary side. In my world of truths and half-truths, the inhabitants might be amiss or have fallen from grace, but my children inhabit a peaceable kingdom where everything that falls deserves a chance to be restored.

My children are beautiful, intelligent, sometimes sad, pensive, devastatingly perceptive, complex, occasionally humorous, always creative, —Keith Carter and often inscrutable.”

KEITH C ARTER Beaumont, Texas Carter holds the endowed Walles Chair of Visual and Performing Arts at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, and is the recipient of a 2009 Texas Medal of Arts Award and the Lange-Taylor Prize from the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. He is the author of ten previous books, including A Certain Alchemy, Holding Venus, Keith Carter Photographs: Twenty-Five Years, Heaven of Animals, Mojo, The Blue Man, and From Uncertain to Blue.

Sports, Women’s Studies

As dramatically intense as the Clint Eastwood film Million Dollar Baby, this compelling biography chronicles Anissa “The Assassin” Zama­ rron’s victory over mental illness to become a two-time world champion in women’s boxing

Boxing Shadows B y W. K . S t r a t t o n , w i t h A n i s s a “ T h e A s s a s s i n ” Z a m a r r o n

W. K. STRATTON Round Rock, Texas Stratton is a freelance writer whose previous books are Chasing the Rodeo: On Wild Rides and Big Dreams, Broken Hearts and Broken Bones, and One Man’s Search for the West; Splendor in the Short Grass: The Grover Lewis Reader (co-edited with Jan Reid); and Backyard Brawl: Inside the Blood Feud Between Texas and Texas A&M. His journalism has appeared in Sports Illustrated, GQ, and Outside.

Reaching the top in any sport requires a long, hard climb.

But when you start with the baggage of years of family dysfunction and incarceration in a hellish mental hospital, the climb is especially steep. Yet even with such weights to carry, Anissa Zamarron won not one, but two, world championships in women’s boxing. Her story, as dramatically intense as the Clint Eastwood film Million Dollar Baby, is one of tremendous courage and determination to overcome the odds against her as a Latina and as a woman working through mental illness and addiction—a fight in which Zamarron has been as powerful and successful as she has been in the boxing ring.

In this compelling biography, acclaimed author W. K. “Kip” Stratton collaborates with Zamarron to tell the story of her unlikely rise to the pinnacle of women’s boxing. With searing honesty, Zamarron describes how the chaotic breakup of her childhood family caused her to develop “demons” that drove her to aggressive behavior in school, an addiction to self-destructive habits, including cutting, and eventually to a corrupt for-profit mental hospital in which she spent eighteen months tied to a bed. She explains how boxing became her salvation as an adult; she learned how to turn her anger and aggression into motivation to train hard and excel at her sport, not only becoming the first woman to fight as a professional in a sanctioned fight in New York, but also fighting more ten-round fights than any other woman in history.

A gripping account of Zamarron’s 2005 upset win over Maribel Zurita to claim her second world championship caps the book.

From the book

Anissa “ Th e A s sa s s i n ” Z am ar ron Austin, Texas Zamarron is a two-time world champion flyweight boxer whose professional career spanned 1995–2007. In the course of more than thirty pro fights, she was never knocked out. Her goal in telling her story is to persuade other women, especially Latinas, that “you don’t have to feel limited in your choices.

You can achieve.”

“In boxing, we say that a world championship fight doesn’t really start until the fourth round. A championship fight is not just another fight. It’s all nerves and willpower, and you just don’t know how things are going to turn out during those early rounds. But one thing you do know is that what matters is how you finish up. The judges base a lot on who finishes the strongest, who is ‘there’ at the end of the fight. I’ve been told that I’ve fought more ten-round fights—in women’s boxing, title fights last ten rounds—than any woman in history. I don’t know how you prove that, but I can say I don’t know of any woman who has fought more than I have. I’ve been in enough of them to know that what matters in terms of the decision is which boxer can take the fight all the way through to the end. And who is going to be able to take it all the way through begins to show in the fourth round.”

Houndstooth Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe from Neko Case I can’t stand a “puffy cake” cookie. I spent a year of my life perfecting the cookie of my dreams and am happy to share the recipe with you! Keep in mind that you may have to tweak the recipe a bit to suit your altitude and depending on whether you use a gas or electric oven. When I developed this recipe I was using a gas oven at about four thousand feet. I also have to say that the electric mixer is essential.

2 1⁄4 c. flour ½ tsp. baking soda ½ heaping tsp. salt 2 sticks of butter (softened to room temperature) 1 c. light brown sugar ½ c. sugar 3 T. malt (the secret ingredient!)

3 tsp. vanilla extract 2 eggs (at room temperature) ½ to 1 bag of Ghirardelli or Guittard Chocolate Chips Set your oven at exactly 350° and line your cookie pans with parchment paper. (You can reuse the same parchment up to 5 or 6 times.)

OK, here we go, this will sound drawn out, but every detail counts.

way with the butter-sugar-malt blend. Not overmixing is what makes these cookies chewy and not cakelike.

Add chocolate chips and stir with a wooden spoon.

Whisk together dry ingredients of flour, baking soda, and salt.

Now, take a regular dinner spoon and drop 12 lumps on the cookie sheet. Bake anywhere from 9 to 12 minutes, depending on how light you like the bottoms of your cookies (and depending on your specific oven and altitude).

Separately, in mixer bowl, combine butter (After much trial, I have decided that Land O Lakes Salted Butter is the best, but salted organic butter is great too. This is the key to the flavor of the cookies.), sugars, and malt together until kinda fluffy. Whip it, baby! Then, on low-speed add vanilla and eggs, and then immediately add the previously combined dry ingredients—in two segments so the eggs don’t get overmixed. I’d say add the dry ingredients even before the eggs have mixed in all the

Use a thin metal spatula when you remove the cookies from the cookie sheet because they will be very soft. They may actually seem undercooked, but fear not! When you transfer them to a cooling rack, they actually keep cooking themselves! It’s called “carry-over cooking.” (I heard that on Emeril. Busted!) They become a little flatter as they cool, too. Their chewiness becomes apparent the next day. I think it’s the malt that binds to the other sugars and helps them caramelize, hence, chewy!

No Depression first appeared during the fall of 1995 as a 32-page quarterly magazine. Ten years later it had become a 180-page glossy bimonthly. Along the way it became one of the most prominent publications to cover American roots music, starting from the intersection of country and rock ’n’ roll and tracing the links to bluegrass, folk, blues, gospel, soul, jazz, indie rock, Cajun, conjunto, and beyond.

No Depression grew to be acknowledged as one of the finest music magazines ever published, was compared often to the 1960s origins of Rolling Stone or the 1970s heyday of Creem, and received awards from the Utne Reader, ASCAP, and the International Country Music Conference. It was cited by the Chicago Tribune in 2004 as one of the nation’s Top 20 magazines in any category.

For most of its thirteen-year history as a beloved and decorated music magazine, No Depression sought to be an instrument of change: to draw attention to the deep well of American musical traditions; to shine a light on performers whose gifts far exceed the size of their audiences or their pocketbooks; and to provide a safe harbor for the best long-form writing about music on the newsstand.

These traditions continue through No Depression’s now semiannual series of bookazines. The inaugural bookazine, numbered ND #76 so as to make explicit the continuity between No Depression’s original and new formats, focused on the next generation of emerging roots music performers. ND #78, due out the fall of 2009, will focus on prominent families in American roots music, kinfolk who have stretched their artistic influence across generations. This will include in-depth pieces about bedrock clans of country music—the Carters and the Cashes—and folk music—the Guthries and the Seegers; profiles of country mavericks Steve and Justin Townes Earle and of jazz great Charlie Haden and his musically adventurous children; plus a more “metaphorical family” piece on the artistic “sons” of bluesman Rev. Gary Davis.

The magazine’s cofounders and coeditors, Grant Alden and Peter Blackstock, continue to guide the bookazine. The magazine’s senior writers and contributors remain on board to shape the tone and voice of the bookazine, and its distinctive graphic design imprint continues in the hands of ND art director Grant Alden.

Best of the West: New Stories from the Wide Side of the Missouri, an annual anthology of exceptional short fiction rooted in the western United States, debuted in 1988 and continued publication until 1992. Recognizing that the west remains rewarding territory for literary explorations, James Thomas and Seth Horton are now reviving the series in Best of the West 2009.

Thomas and Horton combed some 250 literary journals and magazines to gather these eighteen stories published since the fall of 2007. They come from both emerging and established writers, including Lee K. Abbott, Louise Erdrich, Dagoberto Gilb, Antonya Nelson, Joyce Carol Oates, and Annie Proulx. Like Bass, the editors believe “the western short story” inhabits a wide territory; the subjects in this collection range from illegal immigrants tending illegal crops in California’s national forests, to mismatched Mormon missionaries on the conversion trail in Nevada, to a Native American college student exploring her sexuality, to Papa Hemingway’s meditations as he loads the shotgun in his Idaho cabin. As these stories make clear, the west continues to shape our literary landscape. Thomas and Horton have preserved the best of that work in this vital anthology.

Finney Dagoberto Gilb Lucrecia Guerrero Antonya Nelson Joyce Carol Oates Annie Proulx Aurelie Sheehan Stephen Tuttle Urban Waite Don Waters Mitch Wieland “A Western short story, in its form and essence, seems to be a work in progress, one which, if I were to place my bets, will continue to be sculpted by the extremes of geography and by immigration: by a ceaseless procession of strangers riding into town, even as other strangers—often magnificent strangers—are going rapidly extinct. Future Western short stories will also continue to be shaped by the yet undefinable, and probably always undefinable, thing—a certain largeness of spirit. The best and strongest of these stories shimmer with that thing, which, though invisible, somehow still makes itself known powerfully.”

Since the beginning of television, Westerns have been playing on the small screen. From the mid-1950s until the early 1960s, they were one of TV’s most popular genres, with millions of viewers tuning in to such popular shows as Rawhide, Gunsmoke, and Disney’s Davy Crockett. Though the cultural revolution of the later “This volume enshrines 1960s contributed to the demise and preserves the of traditional Western programs, the Western never actually disap- essence of what the TV peared from TV. Instead, it took Western has always on new forms, such as the highly popular Lonesome Dove and been all about.”

Brode opens the encyclopedia with a fascinating history of the TV Western that traces its roots in B Western movies, while also showing how TV Westerns developed their own unique storytelling conventions.

Trinity Words by Charles Bowden P h o t o g r a p h s b y M i c h a e l P. B e r m a n

Completing a trilogy that includes Inferno and Exodus/Éxodo, Trinity is Charles Bowden’s impassioned manifesto on the human folly of trying to control and domesticate the Southwestern desert The Southwestern desert—that tumultuous “zone claimed by two nations, and controlled by no one”—is Charles Bowden’s home and enduring passion. In acclaimed books ranging from A Shadow in the City: Confessions of an Undercover Drug Warrior and Down by the River: Drugs, Money, Murder, and Family to Inferno and Exodus/Éxodo, Bowden has written eloquently about issues that plague the border region—the smuggling of drugs and people and the violence that accompanies it, the rape of the environment and the greed that drives it. Completing a trilogy that includes Inferno and Exodus/ Éxodo, Bowden looks back in Trinity across centuries of human history in the border region to offer his most encompassing and damning indictment of “the murder of the earth all around me.”

Sparing no one, Bowden recounts how everyone who has laid claim to the Southwestern desert—Native Americans, Spain, Mexico, and the United States—has attempted to control and domesticate this ecologically fragile region, often with devastating consequences. He reserves special scorn for the U.S. government, whose attempts at control have provoked consequences ranging from the massive land grab of the Mexican War in the nineteenth century, Footsteps.

The other volumes in Charles Bowden’s trilogy about the Southwestern desert

Inferno to the nuclear fallout of the first atomic bomb test in the twentieth century, to the police state that is currently growing up around attempts to seal the border and fight terrorism. Providing a stunning visual counterpoint to Bowden’s words, Michael Berman’s photographs of the desert reveal both its harsh beauty and the scars it bears after centuries of human abuse.

Bowden’s clearest warning yet about the perils facing the desert he calls home, Trinity confirms that, in his words, “the [border] zone is a laboratory where the delusions of life—economic, religious, military, foreign policy, biological, and agricultural—can be tested. This time the edge is the center, this time the edge is the face of the future.”

“We have not failed to keep some bargain with the spirits of the earth because we never made a deal. We have thrived on delusion. The land could hardly fail us since we took the land for granted, a commodity, a thing to be used and bartered and butchered and savored. We have at times flung up notions to deny this fact, we have talked about conservation and ecology and the beauties of nature, we have created temporary reserves—for surely, no one living at this moment doubts that our parks and refuges are but holding tanks for resources that will eventually be swallowed by our endless and defiant needs. Now the energy wanes, the waters recede, the temperatures rise, the trees die, the ground grows parched and hard, the wind is up and in our face. We wander lonely in the McMansions on the hill and yet out there, out on the ground where we hardly go, unless atop a bulldozer, life persists and will persist and we only get to make one more decision: do we want to be part of life? Or death?”

New work that mirrors the anxieties and absurdities of the post-9/11 world by acclaimed American artist Julie Speed

Speed

Art, 2003–2009 A r t w o r k a n d E s s a y b y J u l i e Sp e e d Fiction by A. M. Homes Essay by El iz abeth Ferrer American artist Julie Speed has attracted an enthusiastic following for her paintings, collages, constructions, and drawings that use a skewed form of realism to open vistas into psychologically complete, yet contradictory worlds vacillating between the ominous and the hilarious. Painted or crafted with the meticulous attention to detail of an Old Master, Speed’s works show an ultramodern awareness through sly references to current events, enigmatic elements that introduce unresolved and unresolvable threats and anxieties, and an ironic, even black, sense of humor.

This book presents work created by Julie Speed since 2003. In series such as The Murder of Kasimir Malevich, Bible Studies, and Still Life with Suicide Bomber, Speed refers to “real things—whether to events in her own life or to those taking place in some distant part of the world— but filtered through a mind that is unusually keen and imaginative, and that is preAbove: Woman with Dogs Opposite: Ad Referendum, Variation IX occupied by a desire to make (Jellyfish) sense of the absurdities that

JULIE SPEED Marfa, Texas Born in Chicago and raised mostly on the East Coast, Speed dropped out of art school early. After a period of travel and intermittent employment (as a house painter, horse trainer, waitress, stock girl, farmworker, etc.), she landed in Austin in 1978. Since then she has devoted herself full-time to working in her studio and teaching herself to paint. In her words, “I keep hours just like a real job, only longer, and in my spare time I read books, drink tequila, garden, and drive around West Texas.” In 2006 she decided that just driving around West Texas wasn’t enough, so she moved from Austin to Marfa, where she has a studio downtown.

permeate the contemporary condition,” according to Elizabeth Ferrer. Joining Speed in a creative collaboration of artist and writer is acclaimed author A. M. Homes. Her short story “Do You Hear What I Hear?”, written in response to Speed’s recent work, shows a similar affinity for the anomalous in telling the story of a mysterious phone call being investigated by the Phenomena Police. Completing the volume is an essay by art historian Elizabeth Ferrer, who provides both philosophical and art historical context for Speed’s self-taught painting style, and an artist’s statement by Speed, who describes her creative process and the complex ways in which representation and geometric abstraction interact in the composition of her work.

CARROL L. HENDERSON Blaine, Minnesota

The must-have guide to more than three hundred birds that visitors are most likely to see in Costa Rica, including unique or endemic species of high interest, illustrated with striking color photographs taken in the wild At the biological crossroads of the Americas, Costa Rica hosts an astonishing array of plants and animals—over half a million species! Ecotourists, birders, and biologists come from around the world, drawn by the likelihood of seeing more than three or four hundred species of birds and other animals during even a short stay. To help all of these visitors, as well as local residents, identify and enjoy the wildlife of Costa Rica, Carrol Henderson published Field Guide to the Wildlife of Costa Rica in 2002, and it became the instant and indispensable guide.

Now Henderson has created a Bay-headed Tanager dedicated field guide to the birds that

travelers are most likely to see, as well as to the unique or endemic species that are of high interest to birders. Birds of Costa Rica covers 310 birds—an increase of 124 species—with fascinating accounts of the birds’ natural history, identification, and behavior gleaned from Henderson’s forty years of traveling and birding in Costa Rica. All of the accounts include beautiful photographs of the birds, most of which were taken in the wild by Henderson. There are new updated distribution maps and a detailed appendix that identifies many of the country’s best bird-watching locations and lodges, including contact information for trip planning purposes.

The Seasons of the Robin

By Don Grussing

DON GR U SSING Minnetonka, Minnesota Grussing has been an avid outdoors enthusiast since childhood and has maintained bluebird and wood duck trails for most of his adult life. He has published articles on birds in regional and national magazines, including National Wildlife and Field & Stream, and also selfpublished the book, How to Control House Sparrows.

Mildred Wyatt-Wold Series in Ornithology

In a small nest in a large oak tree, the drama begins. A young American Robin breaks open his shell and emerges into a world that will provide the warmth of sunny days and the life-threatening chill of cold, rainy nights; the satisfaction of a full crop and the danger of sudden predator attacks; and the chance to mature into an adult robin who’ll begin the cycle of life all over again come next spring.

In The Seasons of the Robin, Don Grussing tells the uncommon life story of one of the most common birds, the North American Robin. Written as fiction to capture the high drama that goes on unnoticed right outside our windows, the book follows a young male robin through the first year of life. From his perspective, we experience many common episodes of a bird’s life—struggling to get out of the egg; awkwardly attempting to master flight; learning to avoid predators; migrating for the first time; returning home; establishing a territory; finding a mate; and beginning the cycle again. This creative approach of presenting natural history through a fictional, yet factually based, story allows us to experience the spine-tingling, nerve-wracking, adrenaline-flowing excitement that is so much a part of the life of every wild thing. As Don Grussing concludes in his preface, “Once you experience the world through a robin’s eyes, I hope you’ll look at every wild thing with new appreciation and respect for what they accomplish by living.”

After years of attacking from the margins, L U IS C AMNITZER is now, ironically, a bona fide “international artist,” whose work has appeared in the Venice Biennial, Documenta 11, the Whitney Biennial, and several Havana Biennials. A professor emeritus at SUNY College at Old Westbury, Camnitzer presently is the pedagogical curator for the Iberé Camargo Foundation in Brazil. He is the author of several books, including Conceptualism in Latin American Art: Didactics of Liberation. He lives in Great Neck, New York.

RACH EL WEISS is Professor of Arts Administration and Policy at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is the author of several books, including To Build the Sky: To and From Utopia in the New Cuban Art.

Artist, educator, curator, and critic Luis Camnitzer has been writing about contemporary art ever since he left his native Uruguay in 1964 for a fellowship in New York City. As a transplant from the “periphery” to the “center,” Camnitzer has had to confront fundamental questions about making art in the Americas, asking himself and others: What is “Latin American art”? How does it relate (if it does) to art created in the centers of New York and Europe? What is the role of the artist in exile? Writing about issues of such personal, cultural, and indeed political import has long been an integral part of Camnitzer’s artistic project, a way of developing an idiosyncratic art history in which to work out his own place in the picture.

This volume gathers Camnitzer’s most thought-provoking essays—“texts written to make something happen,” in the words of volume editor Rachel Weiss. They elaborate themes that appear persistently throughout Camnitzer’s work: art world systems versus an art of commitment; artistic genealogies and how they are consecrated; and, most insistently, the possibilities for artistic agency. The theme of “translation” informs the texts in the first part of the book, with Camnitzer asking such questions as “What is Latin America, and who asks the question? Who is the artist, there and here?” The texts in the second section are more historically than geographically oriented, exploring little-known moments, works, and events that compose the legacy that Camnitzer draws on and offers to his readers.

From its inception in the 1960s to its present form, contemporary Mexican American or Chicano art has developed as an art of identity, asserting the uniqueness of Chicanos and their dual Mexican and U.S. American cultural backgrounds. Because it emerged as a social phenomenon, however, many people outside the Chicano community have perceived Chicano art as merely protest art or social commentary, and Mexican American artists have been largely ignored in mainstream museums and absent in art history texts on American art. Yet more than ever before, Chicano art is diverse in medium, style, technique, and content—the cutting edge of a bold attempt to redefine and advance the American experience through new ideas of who we are as Americans and what American art is.

Contemporary Chican@ Art is a general introduction and guide to one of the most exciting and meaningful expressions in contemporary American art.

Intended for the casual reader as well as for art history scholars and students, the book provides an overview of work created from the 1960s to the present. George Nora Chapa Mendoza, Campesino, 1987 Vargas follows the dramatic evoU n i v e r s i t y o f T e x a s P r e s s | fa l l 2 0 0 9

lution of Chicano art within the broader context of American cultural history. He shows that while identity politics was and still is a prevailing force in Chicano expression, Chicano art has undergone a remarkable transformation, shifting from a strict Chicano perspective to a more universal one, while still remaining a people’s art. In the concluding chapter, Vargas takes an in-depth look at selected Chicano artists who share their thoughts about the Chicano artistic enterprise and their own work.

Between the ninth and seventh centuries BC, the small kingdom of Assyria in northern Iraq expanded to dominate the region from Egypt to Iran. The power of the Assyrian kings was reflected in a series of magnificent palaces in which the walls of principal rooms and courtyards were lined with huge panels of alabaster carved with images of the monarch as priest, victorious warrior, and hunter. These sculptures constitute some of the most impressive witnesses of the ancient Middle East, and this book serves as a superb visual introduction to what are undoubtedly some of the greatest carvings from the ancient world.

The book showcases a series of specially taken photographs of the British Museum’s unrivaled collection of Assyrian sculptures. The images capture the majesty of the Assyrian king, as well as his magnificent court and its protecting divinities. An introduction sets the sculptures in their cultural and art historical context. A brief history of Assyria and the royal palaces is followed by an overview of the subject matter and meaning of the sculptures together with a discussion of their relationship with the artistic traditions of ancient Iraq and the wider region. There is also an exploration of the sculptures as the earliest examples of complex narrative art that developed from summary or symbolic scenes of royal achievements into images with multilayered meanings that occupied entire rooms and captured the raw emotion and energy of animals and humans with remarkable vitality.

An associate justice on the renowned Warren Court whose landmark ruling in Brown v. Board of Education overturned racial segregation in schools and other public facilities, Tom C. Clark was a crusader for justice throughout his long legal career. Among many tributes Clark received, Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger opined that “no man in the past thirty years has contributed more to the improvement of justice than Tom Clark.”

Supreme Court Justice Tom C. Clark is the first biography of this important American jurist. Written by his daughter, Mimi Clark Gronlund, and based on interviews with many of Clark’s judicial associates, friends, and family, as well as archival research, it offers a well-rounded portrait of a lawyer and judge who dealt with issues that remain in contention today—civil rights, the rights of the accused, school prayer, and censorship/pornography, among them. Gronlund explores the factors in her father’s upbringing and education that helped form his judicial philosophy, then describes how that philosophy shaped his decisions on key issues and cases, including the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, the investigation of war fraud, the Truman administration’s loyalty program (an anti-communist effort), the Brown decision, Mapp v. Ohio (protections against unreasonable search and seizure), and Abington v. Schempp (which overturned a state law that required reading from the Bible each day in public schools).

Edna Ferber’s Hollywood reveals one of the most influential artistic relationships of the twentieth century—the four-decade partnership between historical novelist Edna Ferber and the Hollywood studios. Ferber was one of America’s most controversial popular historians, a writer whose uniquely feminist, multiracial view of the national past deliberately clashed with traditional narratives of white masculine power. Hollywood paid premium sums to adapt her novels, creating some of the most memorable films of the studio era— among them Show Boat, Cimarron, and Giant. Her historical fiction resonated with Hollywood’s interest in prestigious historical filmmaking aimed principally, but not exclusively, at female audiences.

In Edna Ferber’s Hollywood, J. E. Smyth explores the research, writing, marketing, reception, and production histories of Hollywood’s Ferber franchise. Smyth tracks Ferber’s working relationships with Samuel Goldwyn, Leland Hayward, George Stevens, and James Dean; her landmark contract negotiations with Warner Bros.; and the controversies surrounding Giant’s critique of Jim-Crow Texas.

But Edna Ferber’s Hollywood is also the study of the historical vision of an American outsider—a woman, a Jew, a novelist with few literary pretensions, an unashamed middlebrow who challenged the prescribed boundaries among gender, race, history, and fiction. In a masterful film and literary history, Smyth explores how Ferber’s work helped shape Hollywood’s attitude toward the American past.

American Fictions of Gender, Race, and History Foreword by Th omas Sch atz

With a cast ranging from Pancho Villa to Dolores del Río and Tina Modotti, Constructing the Image of the Mexican Revolution demonstrates the crucial role played by Mexican and foreign visual artists in revolutionizing Mexico’s twentieth-century national iconography. Investigating the convergence of cinema, photography, painting, and other graphic arts in this process, Zuzana Pick illuminates how the Mexican Revolution’s timeline (1910–1917) corresponds with the emergence of media culture and modernity.

Drawing on twelve foundational films from Que Viva Mexico!

(1931–1932) to And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself (2003), Pick proposes that cinematic images reflect the image repertoire produced during the revolution, often playing on existing nationalist themes or on folkloric motifs designed for export. Ultimately illustrating the ways in which modernism reinvented existing signifiers of national identity, Constructing the Image of the Mexican Revolution unites historicity, aesthetics, and narrative to enrich our understanding of Mexicanidad.

A struggle between narcissistic and masochistic modes of manhood defined Hollywood masculinity in the period between the presidencies of George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush. David Greven’s contention is that a profound shift in representation occurred during the early 1990s when Hollywood was transformed by an explosion of films that foregrounded non-normative gendered identity and sexualities. In the years that have followed, popular cinema has either emulated or evaded the representational strategies of this era, especially in terms of gender and sexuality.

One major focus of this study is that, in a great deal of the criticism in both the fields of film theory and queer theory, masochism has been positively cast as a form of male sexuality that resists the structures of normative power, while narcissism has been negatively cast as either a regressive sexuality or the bastion of white male privilege. Greven argues that narcissism is a potentially radical mode of male sexuality that can defy normative codes and categories of gender, whereas masochism, far from being radical, has emerged as the default mode of a traditional normative masculinity. This study combines approaches from a variety of disciplines—psychoanalysis, queer theory, American studies, men’s studies, and film theory—as it offers fresh readings of several important films of the past twenty years, including Casualties of War, The Silence of the Lambs, Fight Club, The Passion of the Christ, Auto Focus, and Brokeback Mountain.

Art and technology have been converging rapidly in the past few years; an important example of this convergence is the alliance of neuroscience with aesthetics, which has produced the new field of neuroaesthetics.

Irving Massey examines this alliance, in large part to allay the fears of artists and audiences alike that brain science may “explain away” the arts. The first part of the book shows how neuroscience can “The power of Massey’s enhance our understanding of certain features of art. The sec- own imagination, and ond part of the book illustrates a his vivid writing, make humanistic approach to the arts; it is written entirely without re- this book a delight.” course to neuroscience, in order —Oliver Sacks to show the differences in methodology between the two approaches. The humanistic style is marked particularly by immersion in the individual work and by evaluation, rather than by detachment in the search for generalizations. In the final section Massey argues that, despite these differences, once the reality of imagination is accepted neuroscience can be seen as the collaborator, not the inquisitor, of the arts.

She worked as a radio and TV journalist and also as a press assistant in government ministries and in the prime minister’s office. In 1992 she left journalism to dedicate herself to writing.

The novella and eight short stories that constitute Year of the Elephant—an allusion to a battle described in the Qur’an—serve as an eloquent representation of life in the wake of Morocco’s successful struggle for independence from French occupation. In the titular novella the protagonist, Zahra, has just returned to her hometown after being divorced by her husband for being too traditional and unable to keep up with his modern way of life. Having devoted herself, alongside her husband, to the creation of an independent Morocco, she had expected to share the fruits of independence with him, but instead she finds herself cast out into a strange world. As Zahra struggles to find a place for herself in this new Morocco, her efforts reflect Moroccan society’s attempt as a whole to chart a path in the conflict between tradition and modernism.

When published in English in 1989, Year of the Elephant was the first novel by a Moroccan woman to be translated from Arabic into English. In the years since, it has become popular with readers for the unique picture it provides of Moroccan life and North African Islamic culture. This revised edition includes an introduction, which looks at the impact of the English translation since its original publication, and a study guide.

From the late nineteenth century onward, men and women throughout the Middle East discussed, debated, and negotiated the roles of young girls and women in producing modern nations. In Palestine, girls’ education was pivotal to discussions about motherhood.

Their education was seen as having the potential to transform the family so that it could meet both modern and nationalist expectations.

Ela Greenberg offers the first study to examine the education of Muslim girls in Palestine from the end of the Ottoman administration through the British colonial rule. Relying upon extensive archival sources, official reports, the Palestinian Arabic press, and interviews, she describes the changes that took place in girls’ education during this time. Greenberg describes how local Muslims, often portrayed as indifferent to girls’ education, actually responded to the inadequacies of existing government education by sending their daughters to missionary schools despite religious tensions, or by creating their own private nationalist institutions.

Greenberg shows that members of all socioeconomic classes understood the triad of girls’ education, modernity, and the nationalist struggle, as educated girls would become the “mothers of tomorrow” who would raise nationalist and modern children. While this was the aim of the various schools in Palestine, not all educated Muslim girls followed this path, as some used their education, even if it was elementary at best, to become teachers, nurses, and activists in women’s organizations.

Embarking on a unique study of Roman criminal law, Judy Gaughan has developed a novel understanding of the nature of social and political power dynamics in republican government. Revealing the significant relationship between political power and attitudes toward homicide in the Roman republic, Murder Was Not a Crime describes a legal system through which families (rather than the government) were given the power to mete out punishment for murder.

With implications that could modify the most fundamental beliefs about the Roman republic, Gaughan’s research maintains that Roman criminal law did not contain a specific enactment against murder, although it had done so prior to the overthrow of the monarchy.

While kings felt an imperative to hold monopoly over the power to kill, Gaughan argues, the republic phase ushered in a form of decentralized government that did not see itself as vulnerable to challenge by an act of murder. And the power possessed by individual families ensured that the government would not attain the responsibility for punishing homicidal violence.

Drawing on surviving Roman laws and literary sources, Murder Was Not a Crime also explores the dictator Sulla’s “murder law,” arguing that it lacked any government concept of murder and was instead simply a collection of earlier statutes repressing poisoning, arson, and the carrying of weapons. Reinterpreting a spectrum of scenarios, Gaughan makes new distinctions between the paternal head of household and his power over life and death, versus the power of consuls and praetors to command and kill.

T r a n s l a t e d , w i t h I n t r o du c t i o n a n d N o t e s , b y P e t e r G r e e n Only one surviving source provides a continuous narrative of Greek history from Xerxes’ invasion to the Wars of the Successors following the death of Alexander the Great—the Bibliotheke, or “Library,” produced by Sicilian historian Diodorus Siculus (ca. 90–30 BCE).

Yet generations of scholars have disdained Diodorus as a spectacularly unintelligent copyist who only reproduced, and often mangled, the works of earlier historians. Arguing for a thorough critical reappraisal of Diodorus as a minor but far from idiotic historian himself, Peter Green published Diodorus Siculus, Books 11–12.37.1, a fresh translation, with extensive commentary, of the portion of Diodorus’s history dealing with the period 480–431 BCE, the so-called “Golden Age” of Athens.

This is the only recent modern English translation of the Bibliotheke in existence. In the present volume—the first of two covering Diodorus’s text up to the death of Alexander—Green expands his translation of Diodorus up to Athens’ defeat after the Peloponnesian War. In contrast to the full scholarly apparatus in his earlier volume (the translation of which is incorporated) the present volume’s purpose is to give students, teachers, and general readers an accessible version of Diodorus’s history. Its introduction and notes are especially designed for this audience and provide an up-to-date overview of fifth-century Greece during the years that saw the unparalleled flowering of drama, architecture, philosophy, historiography, and the visual arts for which Greece still remains famous.

From 1974 to the present, the Institute of Classical Archaeology at the University of Texas at Austin has carried out archaeological excavations in the ancient territory (chora) of Metaponto, now located in the modern province of Basilicata on the southern coast of Italy. This wide-ranging investigation, which covers a number of sites and a time period ranging from prehistory to the Roman Empire, has unearthed a wealth of new information about the ancient rural economy in southern Italy. These discoveries will be published in a multi-volume series titled The Chora of Metaponto. This volume on archaeozoology—the study of animal remains from archaeological sites—is the second in the series, following The Chora of Metaponto: The Necropoleis (1998).

Archaeozoology at Pantanello and Five Other Sites describes the animal remains found throughout Metaponto and discusses what they reveal about ancient practices of hunting and herding, domestication and importation of new breeds, people’s attitudes toward animals, and what animal remains indicate about past environments. A chapter devoted to bird bones, which are a relatively rare find because of their fragility, provides high quality information on the environment and methods of fowling, as well as on the beliefs and symbolism associated with birds. The final chapter covers tools—some simple, others sophisticated and richly decorated—made from animal bones.

Zionism, Israeli History, Middle Eastern Studies

A stirring portrait of daily life and political dilemmas in 1920s Palestine, during the first decade of British rule in the region

Exiled in the Homeland

Zionism and the Return to Mandate Palestine

By Donna Robinson Divine

A specialist in Middle East politics,

DONNA RO B INSON D IVINE is Morningstar Family Professor of Jewish Studies and Professor of Government at Smith College. Her previous books include Politics and Society in Ottoman Palestine, and she recently served as co-editor of Postcolonial Theory and the Arab-Israel Conflict. She lives in Connecticut.

Jewish History, Life, and Culture

Offering a new perspective on Zionism, Exiled in the Homeland draws on memoirs, newspaper accounts, and archival material to examine closely the lives of the men and women who immigrated to Palestine in the early twentieth century. Rather than reducing these historic settlements to a single, unified theme, Donna Robinson Divine’s research reveals an extraordinary spectrum of motivations and experiences among these populations.

Though British rule and the yearning for a Jewish national home contributed to a foundation of solidarity, Exiled in the Homeland presents the many ways in which the message of emigration settled into the consciousness of the settlers. Considering the benefits and costs of their Zionist commitments, Divine explores a variety of motivations and outcomes, ranging from those newly arrived immigrants who harnessed their ambition for the goal of radical transformation to those who simply dreamed of living a better life. Also capturing the day-to-day experiences in families that faced scarce resources, as well as the British policies that shaped a variety of personal decisions on the part of the newcomers, Exiled in the Homeland provides new keys to understanding this pivotal chapter in Jewish history.

Anthropology, Latin American Studies

A unique ethnography of the Eastern European Jews who settled northeast of Buenos Aires in the nineteenth century and left a diverse immigrant legacy in their wake

The Invention of the Jewish Gaucho Villa Clara and the Construction of Argentine Identity B y J ud i t h N o e m í F r e i d e n b e r g By the mid-twentieth century, Eastern European Jews had become one of Argentina’s largest minorities. Some represented a wave of immigration begun two generations before; many settled in the province of Entre Ríos and founded an agricultural colony. Taking its title from the resulting hybrid of acculturation, The Invention of the Jewish Gaucho examines the lives of these settlers, who represented a merger between native cowboy identities and homeland memories.

The arrival of these immigrants in what would be the village of Villa Clara coincided with the nation’s new sense of liberated nationhood. In a meticulous rendition of Villa Clara’s social history, Judith Freidenberg interweaves ethnographic and historical information to understand the saga of European immigrants drawn by Argentine open-door policies in the nineteenth century and its impact on the current transformation of immigration into multicultural discourses in the twenty-first century. Using Villa Clara as a case study, Freidenberg demonstrates the broad power of political processes in the construction of ethnic, class, and national identities. The Invention of the Jewish Gaucho draws on life histories, archives, material culture, and performances of heritage to enhance our understanding of a singular population—and to transform our approach to social memory itself.

Race, Class, and Gender in U.S. Adoption Practice

Kuna Culture from Inside and Out

By Christine Ward Gailey

The Kuna of Panama, today one of the best known indigenous peoples of Latin America, moved over the course of the twentieth century from orality and isolation towards literacy and an active engagement with the nation and the world. Recognizing the fascination their culture has held for many outsiders, Kuna intellectuals and villagers have collaborated actively with foreign anthropologists to counter anti-Indian prejudice with positive accounts of their people, thus becoming the agents as well as subjects of ethnography. One team of chiefs and secretaries, in particular, independently produced a series of historical and cultural texts, later published in Sweden, that today still constitute the foundation of Kuna ethnography.

As a study of the political uses of literacy, of western representation and indigenous counter-representation, and of the ambivalent inter-cultural dialogue at the heart of ethnography, Chiefs, Scribes, and Ethnographers addresses key issues in contemporary anthropology. It is the story of an extended ethnographic encounter, one involving hundreds of active participants on both sides and continuing today.

By James Howe

Most Americans assume that shared genes or blood relationships provide the strongest basis for family. What can adoption tell us about this widespread belief and American kinship in general?

Blue-Ribbon Babies and Labors of Love examines the ways class, gender, and race shape public and private adoption in the United States.

Christine Ward Gailey analyzes the controversies surrounding international, public, and transracial adoption, and how the political and economic dynamics that shape adoption policies and practices affect the lives of people in the adoption nexus: adopters, adoptees, birth parents, and agents within and across borders. Interviews with white and African-American adopters, adoption social workers, and adoption lawyers, combined with her long-term participant-observation in adoptive communities, inform her analysis of how adopters’ beliefs parallel or diverge from the dominant assumptions about kinship and family. Gailey demonstrates that the ways adoptive parents speak about their children vary across hierarchies of race, class, and gender. She shows that adopters’ notions about their children’s backgrounds and early experiences, as well as their own “family values,” influence child rearing practices. Her extensive interviews with 131 adopters reveal profoundly different practices of kinship in the United States today.

In perhaps as few as one hundred years, the Inka Empire became the largest state ever formed by a native people anywhere in the Americas, dominating the western coast of South America by the early sixteenth century. Because the Inkas had no system of writing, it was left to Spanish and semi-indigenous authors to record the details of the religious rituals that the Inkas believed were vital for consolidating their conquests. Synthesizing these arresting accounts that span three centuries, Thomas Besom presents a wealth of descriptive data on the Inka practices of human sacrifice and mountain worship, supplemented by archaeological evidence.

Of Summits and Sacrifice offers insight into the symbolic connections between landscape and life that underlay Inka religious beliefs.

In vivid prose, Besom links significant details, ranging from the reasons for cyclical sacrificial rites to the varieties of mountain deities, producing a uniquely powerful cultural history.

Foreword by F. Kent Reil ly III Introd uction by Joh n M. D. Poh l In the pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican world, histories and collections of ritual knowledge were often presented in the form of painted and folded books now known as codices, and the knowledge itself was encoded into pictographs. Eight codices have survived from the Mixtec peoples of ancient Oaxaca, Mexico; a part of one of them, the Codex Zouche-Nuttall, is the subject of this book. As a group, the Mixtec codices contain the longest detailed histories and royal genealogies known for any indigenous people in the western hemisphere.

The Codex Zouche-Nuttall offers a unique window into how the Mixtecs themselves viewed their social and political cosmos without the bias of western European interpretation. At the same time, however, the complex calendrical information recorded in the Zouche-Nuttall has made it resistant to historical, chronological analysis, thereby rendering its narrative obscure.

In this pathfinding work, Robert Lloyd Williams presents a methodology for reading the Codex Zouche-Nuttall that unlocks its essentially linear historical chronology. Recognizing that the codex is a combination of history in the European sense and the timelessness of myth in the Native American sense, he brings to vivid life the history of Lord Eight Wind of Suchixtlan (AD 935–1027), a ruler with the attributes of both man and deity, as well as other Oaxacan heroes.

A remarkable examination of U.S. citizens, particularly retirees, who migrate to Mexican towns such as San Miguel de Allende and reverse the conventional wisdom about immigration and identity

The Other Side of the Fence American Migrants in Mexico

By Sheila Croucher

Author of Imagining Miami and Globalization and Belonging, SHEILA CROU CHER is the Paul Rejai Professor of Political Science and American Studies at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

A growing number of Americans, many of them retirees, are migrating to Mexico’s beach resorts, border towns, and picturesque heartland. While considerable attention has been paid to Mexicans who immigrate to the U.S., the reverse scenario receives little scrutiny.

Shifting the traditional lens of North American migration, The Other Side of the Fence takes a fascinating look at a demographic trend that presents significant implications for the United States and Mexico.

The first in-depth account of this trend, Sheila Croucher’s study describes the cultural, economic, and political lives of these migrants of privilege. Focusing primarily on two towns, San Miguel de Allende in the mountains and Ajijic along the shores of Lake Chapala, Croucher depicts the surprising similarities between immigrant populations on both sides of the border. Few Americans living in Mexico are fluent in the language of their new land, and most continue to practice the culture and celebrate the national holidays of their homeland, maintaining close political, economic, and social ties to the United States while making political demands on Mexico, where they reside.

Accessible, timely, and brimming with eye-opening, often ironic, findings, The Other Side of the Fence brings an important perspective to borderlands debates.

Mexico is famous for spectacular fiestas that embody its heart and soul. An expression of the cult of the saint, patron saint fiestas are the centerpiece of Mexican popular religion and of great importance to the lives and cultures of people and communities. These fiestas have their own language, objects, belief systems, and practices.

They link Mexico’s past and present, its indigenous and European populations, and its local and global relations.

This work provides a comprehensive study of two intimately linked patron saint fiestas in the state of Guanajuato, near San Miguel de Allende—the fiesta of the village of Cruz del Palmar and that of the town of San Luis de la Paz. These two fiestas are related to one another in very special ways involving both religious practices and their respective pre-Hispanic origins.

A mixture of secular and sacred, patron saint fiestas are multi-day affairs that include many events, ritual specialists, and performers, with the participation of the entire community. Fiestas take place in order to honor the saints, and they are the occasion for religious ceremonies, processions, musical performances, dances, and dance dramas. They feature spectacular costumes, enormous puppets, masked and cross-dressed individuals, dazzling fireworks, rodeos, food stands, competitions, and public dances. By encompassing all of these events and performances, this work displays the essence of Mexico, a lens through which this country’s complex history, religion, ethnic mix, traditions, and magic can be viewed.

The practice of reading aloud has a long history, and the tradition still survives in Cuba as a hard-won right deeply embedded in cigar factory workers’ culture. In El Lector, Araceli Tinajero deftly traces the evolution of the reader from nineteenth-century Cuba to the present and its eventual dissemination to Tampa, Key West, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. In interviews with present-day and retired readers, she records testimonies that otherwise would have been lost forever, creating a valuable archive for future historians.

Through a close examination of journals, newspapers, and personal interviews, Tinajero relates how the reading was organized, how the readers and readings were selected, and how the process affected the relationship between workers and factory owners. Because of the reader, cigar factory workers were far more cultured “El Lector will find a and in touch with the political broad and appreciacurrents of the day than other workers. But it was not only the tive audience and will reading material, which provid- become a landmark ed political and literary information that yielded self-education, in the study of Cuban that influenced the workers; the and Latin American act of being read to increased the discipline and timing of the arti- cultures.”

Why are so many people attracted to narrative fiction?

How do authors in this genre reframe experiences, people, and environments anchored to the real world without duplicating “real life”?

In which ways does fiction differ from reality? What might fictional narrative and reality have in common—if anything?

By analyzing novels such as Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things, Amitav Ghosh’s The Glass Palace, Zadie Smith’s White Teeth, and Hari Kunzru’s The Impressionist, along with selected Latino comic books and short fiction, this book explores the peculiarities of the production and reception of postcolonial and Latino borderland fiction. Frederick Luis Aldama uses tools from disciplines such as film studies and cognitive science that allow the reader to establish how a fictional narrative is built, how it functions, and how it defines the boundaries of concepts that appear susceptible to limitless interpretations.

Aldama emphasizes how postcolonial and Latino borderland narrative fiction authors and artists use narrative devices to create their aesthetic blueprints in ways that loosely guide their readers’ imagination and emotion. In A User’s Guide to Postcolonial and Latino Borderland Fiction, he argues that the study of ethnic-identified narrative fiction must acknowledge both its active engagement with world narrative fictional genres, storytelling modes, and techniques, as well as the way such fictions work to move their audiences.

B y Emm a P é r e z This literary adventure takes place in nineteenth-century Texas and follows the story of a Chicana lesbian cowgirl after the fall of the Alamo. Micaela Campos, the central character, witnesses the violence against Mexicans, African Americans, and indigenous peoples after the infamous battles of the Alamo and of San Jacinto, both in 1836. Resisting an easy opposition between good versus evil and brown versus white characters, the novel also features Micaela’s Mexican-Anglo cousin who assists and hinders her progress. Micaela’s travels give us a new portrayal of the American West, populated by people of mixed races who are vexed by the collision of cultures and politics. Ultimately, Micaela’s journey and her romance with a black/ American Indian woman teach her that there are no easy solutions to the injustices that birthed the Texas Republic.

This novel is an intervention in queer history and fiction with its love story between two women of color in mid-nineteenth-century Texas. Pérez also shows how a colonial past still haunts our nation’s imagination. The battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto offered freedom and liberty to Texans, but what is often erased from the story is that common people who were Mexican, Indian, and Black did not necessarily benefit from the influx of so many Anglo immigrants to Texas. The social themes and identity issues that Pérez explores— political climate, debates over immigration, and historical revision of the American West—are current today.

Although popularly conceived as a relatively recent phenomenon, patterns of immigrant smuggling and undocumented entry across American land borders first emerged in the late nineteenth century. Ingenious smugglers and immigrants, long and remote boundary lines, and strong push-and-pull factors created porous borders then, much as they do now.

Historian Patrick Ettinger offers the first comprehensive historical study of evolving border enforcement efforts on American land borders at the turn of the twentieth century. He traces the origins of widespread immigrant smuggling and illicit entry on the northern and southern United States borders at a time when English, Irish, Chinese, Italian, Russian, Lebanese, Japanese, Greek, and, later, Mexican migrants created various “backdoors” into the United States.

No other work looks so closely at the sweeping, if often ineffectual, innovations in federal border enforcement practices designed to stem these flows.

From upstate Maine to Puget Sound, from San Diego to the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, federal officials struggled to adapt national immigration policies to challenging local conditions, all the while battling wits with resourceful smugglers and determined immigrants. In effect, the period saw the simultaneous “drawing” and “erasing” of the official border, and its gradual articulation and elaboration in the midst of consistently successful efforts to undermine it.

The Texas Centennial and the Emergence of Mexican American Literature The Texas Centennial of 1936, commemorated by statewide celebrations of independence from Mexico, proved to be a powerful catalyst for the formation of a distinctly Mexican American identity.

Confronted by a media frenzy that vilified “Meskins” as the antithesis of Texan liberty, Mexican Americans created literary responses that critiqued these racialized representations while forging a new bilingual, bicultural community within the United States. The development of a modern Tejana identity, controversies surrounding bicultural nationalism, and other conflictual aspects of the transformation from mexicano to Mexican American are explored in this study.

Capturing this fascinating aesthetic and political rebirth, Border Renaissance presents innovative readings of important novels by María Elena Zamora O’Shea, Américo Paredes, and Jovita González. In addition, the previously overlooked literary texts by members of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) are given their first detailed consideration in this compelling work of intellectual and literary history.

Drawing on extensive archival research in the English and Spanish languages, John Morán González revisits the 1930s as a crucial decade for the vibrant Mexican American reclamation of Texas history. Border Renaissance pays tribute to this vital turning point in the Mexican American struggle for civil rights.

In this groundbreaking study based on archival research about Chicana and Chicano prisoners—known as Pintas and Pintos— as well as fresh interpretations of works by renowned Pinta and Pinto authors and activists, B. V. Olguín provides crucial insights into the central roles that incarceration and the incarcerated have played in the evolution of Chicana/o history, cultural paradigms, and oppositional political praxis.

This is the first text on prisoners in general, and Chicana/o and Latina/o prisoners in particular, that provides a range of case studies from the nineteenth century to the present. Case studies on the first nineteenth-century Chicana prisoner in San Quentin State Prison, Modesta Avila; renowned late-twentieth-century Chicano poets Raúl Salinas, Ricardo Sánchez, and Jimmy Santiago Baca; lesser-known Chicana pinta and author Judy Lucero; and infamous Chicano drug baron and social bandit Fred Gómez Carrasco are aligned with themes from popular culture such as prisoner tattoo art and handkerchief art, Hollywood Chicana/o gangxploitation and the prisoner film American Me, and prisoner education projects.

Olguín provides a refreshing critical interrogation of Chicana/o subaltern agency, which too often is celebrated as unambiguously resistant and oppositional. As such, this study challenges long-held presumptions about Chicana/o cultures of resistance and proposes important explorations of the complex and contradictory relationship between Chicana/o agency and ideology.

Latina/o Studies, Civil Rights

The first fully comprehensive study of the origins of the League of United Latin-American Citizens (LULAC) and its precursors, incorporating race, class, gender, and citizenship to create bold new understandings of a pivotal period of activism

No Mexicans, Women, or Dogs Allowed The Rise of the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement

By Cynthia E. Orozco Founded by Mexican American men in 1929, the League of United Latin-American Citizens (LULAC) has usually been judged according to Chicano nationalist standards of the late 1960s and 1970s. Drawing on extensive archival research, including the personal papers of Alonso S. Perales and Adela Sloss-Vento, No Mexicans, Women, or Dogs Allowed presents the history of LULAC in a new light, restoring its early twentieth-century context.

Cynthia E. Orozco also provides evidence that perceptions of LULAC as a petite bourgeoisie, assimilationist, conservative, antiMexican, anti-working class organization belie the realities of the group’s early activism. Supplemented by oral history, this sweeping study probes LULAC’s predecessors, such as the Order Sons of America, blending historiography and cultural studies. Against a backdrop of the Mexican Revolution, World War I, gender discrimination, and racial segregation, No Mexicans, Women, or Dogs Allowed recasts LULAC at the forefront of civil rights movements in America.

Located in the southern San Luis Valley of Colorado, the remote and relatively unknown town of Antonito is home to an overwhelmingly Hispanic population struggling not only to exist in an economically depressed and politically marginalized area, but also to preserve their culture and their lifeways. Between 1996 and 2006, anthropologist Carole Counihan collected food-centered life histories from nineteen Mexicanas—Hispanic American women—who had long-standing roots in the Upper Rio Grande region. The interviews in this groundbreaking study focused on southern Colorado Hispanic foodways—beliefs and behaviors surrounding food production, distribution, preparation, and consumption.

In this book, Counihan features extensive excerpts from these interviews to give voice to the women of Antonito. Three lines of inquiry are framed: feminist ethnography, Latino cultural citizenship, and Chicano environmentalism. Counihan documents how Antonito’s Mexicanas establish a sense of place and belonging through their knowledge of land and water and use this knowledge to sustain their families and communities. Women play an important role by gardening, canning, and drying vegetables; earning money to buy food; cooking; and feeding family, friends, and neighbors on ordinary and festive occasions. They use food to solder or break relationships and to express contrasting feelings of harmony and generosity, or enmity and envy. The interviews reveal that these Mexicanas are resourceful providers whose food work contributes to cultural survival.

Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez’s edited volume Mexican Americans & World War II brought pivotal stories from the shadows, contributing to the growing acknowledgment of Mexican American patriotism as a meaningful force within the Greatest Generation. In this latest anthology, Rivas-Rodríguez and historian Emilio Zamora team up with scholars from various disciplines to add new insights. Beyond the Latino World War II Hero focuses on home-front issues and government relations, delving into new arenas of research and incorporating stirring oral histories.

These recollections highlight realities such as post-traumatic stress disorder and its effects on veterans’ families, as well as Mexican American women of this era, whose fighting spirit inspired their daughters to participate in Chicana/o activism of the 1960s and 1970s. Other topics include the importance of radio as a powerful medium during the war and postwar periods, the participation of Mexican nationals in World War II, and intergovernmental negotiations involving Mexico and Puerto Rico. Addressing the complexity of the Latino war experience, such as the tandem between the frontline and the disruption of the agricultural migrant stream on the home front, the authors and contributors unite diverse perspectives to harness the rich resources of an invaluable oral history.

M AGGIE RIVAS-RODRíGUEZ is Associate Professor of Journalism at the University of Texas at Austin and in 1999 founded the U.S. Latino & Latina World War II Oral History Project. The project has interviewed over 650 men and women of the WWII generation and has multiple components, including a photographic exhibit, a play, three books, and educational material.

Thousands of people die in drug-related deaths every year in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, adjacent to El Paso, Texas. Juárez has become the most violent city in the Mexican drug war. Much of the cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamine consumed in the United States is imported across the Mexican border, making El Paso/Juárez one of the major drug-trafficking venues in the world.

In this anthropological study of drug trafficking and anti-drug law enforcement efforts on the U.S.-Mexico border, Howard Campbell uses an ethnographic perspective to chronicle the recent Mexican drug war, focusing especially on people and events in the El Paso/ Juárez area. It is the first social science study of the violent drug war that is tearing Mexico apart.

Based on deep access to the drug-smuggling world, this study presents the drug war through the eyes and lives of direct participants. Half of the book consists of oral histories from drug traffickers, and the other half from law enforcement officials. There is much journalistic coverage of the drug war, but very seldom are the lived experiences of traffickers and “narcs” presented in such vivid detail. In addition to providing an up-close, personal view of the drug-trafficking world, Campbell explains and analyzes the functioning of drug cartels, the corruption that facilitates drug trafficking, the strategies of smugglers and anti-narcotics officials, and the perilous culture of drug trafficking that Campbell refers to as the “Drug War Zone.”

Ed i t e d b y F r a n k l i n R o s e m o n t a n d R o b i n D . G . K e l l e y Surrealism as a movement has always resisted the efforts of critics to confine it to any static definition—surrealists themselves have always preferred to speak of it in terms of dynamics, dialectics, goals, and struggles. Accordingly, surrealist groups have always encouraged and exemplified the widest diversity—from its start the movement was emphatically opposed to racism and colonialism, and it embraced thinkers from every race and nation.

Yet in the vast critical literature on surrealism, all but a few black poets have been invisible. Academic histories and anthologies typically, but very wrongly, persist in conveying surrealism as an all-white movement, like other “artistic schools” of European origin. In glaring contrast, the many publications of the international surrealist movement have regularly featured texts and reproductions of works by comrades from Martinique, Haiti, Cuba, Puerto Rico, South America, the United States, and other lands. Some of these publications are readily available to researchers; others are not, and a few fall outside academia’s narrow definition of surrealism.

This collection is the first to document the extensive participation of people of African descent in the international surrealist movement over the past seventy-five years. Editors Franklin Rosemont and Robin D. G. Kelley aim to introduce readers to the black, brown, and beige surrealists of the world—to provide sketches of their overlooked lives and deeds as well as their important place in history, especially the history of surrealism.

Biography

Taking a fresh look at a landmark Texas writer who hasn’t been the subject of a biography since Lon Tinkle’s 1978 An American Original, this book reveals J. Frank Dobie as a “free-range thinker” who fought for liberal political causes

The first Texas-based writer to gain national attention, J. Frank Dobie proved that authentic writing springs easily from the native soil of Texas and the Southwest. In best-selling books such as Tales of Old-Time Texas, Coronado’s Children, and The Longhorns, Dobie captured the Southwest’s folk history, which was quickly disappearing as the United States became ever more urbanized and industrial. Renowned as “Mr. Texas,” Dobie paradoxically has almost disappeared from view—a casualty of changing tastes in literature and shifts in social and political attitudes since the 1960s.

In this lively biography, Steven L. Davis takes a fresh look at a J. Frank Dobie whose “liberated mind” set him on an intellectual journey that culminated in Dobie becoming a political liberal who fought for labor, free speech, and civil rights well before these causes became acceptable to most Anglo Texans. Tracing the full arc of Dobie’s life (1888–1964), Davis shows how Dobie’s insistence on “free-range thinking” led him to such radical actions as calling for the complete integration of the University of Texas during the 1940s, as well as taking on governors, senators, and the FBI (which secretly investigated him) as Texas’s leading dissenter during the McCarthy era.

ENGELHAR DT Austin, Texas Elizabeth Engelhardt, Associate Professor of American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, writes and studies food, gender, race, and class in the southern United States. She and eleven of her graduate students set out to study the life and culture of barbecue in Central Texas. They’re a diverse group that includes native Texans, people from other barbecue strongholds of the U.S. South, a Chicagoan, and even a couple of northeasterners. They all share a passion for listening to stories, debating and trying to understand American cultures, and eating lots of barbecue.

It’s no overstatement to say that the state of Texas is a republic of barbecue. Whether it’s brisket, sausage, ribs, or chicken, barbecue feeds friends while they catch up, soothes tensions at political events, fuels community festivals, sustains workers of all classes, celebrates brides and grooms, and even supports churches. Recognizing just how central barbecue is to Texas’s cultural life, Elizabeth Engelhardt and a team of eleven graduate students from the University of Texas at Austin set out to discover and describe what barbecue has meant to Texans ever since they first smoked a beef brisket.

Republic of Barbecue presents a fascinating, multifaceted portrait of Joe Sullivan, House Park Barbecue, Austin, Texas the world of barbecue in Central Texas. The authors look at everything from legendary barbecue joints in places such as Taylor and Lockhart to feedlots, ultra-modern sausage factories, and sustainable forests growing hardwoods for barbecue pits.

JOE SULLIvAN House Park Bar-B-Que, Austin, Texas

I WAS BORN juS t up th e hIll.

I ate here a few times as a kid, but not many, because we didn’t have much money. I always liked this place; I thought it had a little magic. When I went to work for a chip company, this was the first stop we went to. We came through the back door, and I smelled that smell again, and I knew that some day I’d have this place or another one. And sure enough. It’s easy for me to remember because there was a hundred-year flood, Memorial Day of '81, and that was my very first day.

I’ve been told that first this was a restaurant old German people had that sold goulash and soups and stews and also ice. This was a good place to buy a five-cent bag of ice. They said it must have weighed forty pounds, but it was a nickel. But in 1943 it changed hands, and it opened as House Park Bar-B-Que, and it’s been that way ever since. The pit that’s in that back room there is the same pit that they’ve been using since 1943. And I’ve been using it for twenty-six years. It’s seasoned real good; it cooks like a champ. You might say it does all the work, and I get all the credit, and that’s fine with me.

It’s a big brick pit. It’s about eighteen feet long and four and a half feet wide, and we put the fire at the very front, in the firebox at the start of the pit. It takes up about three feet, so the next fifteen we can put our meat on.

It has metal doors that have counterweights to help you lift them up. And the smoke has to travel all the way from the front at the fire, all the way out the back, and then out the smokestack, so it really covers that meat up and cooks it real good. It builds up that magic I’m talking about, that smell. If we’re closed for Christmas holiday for two weeks, you walk back there, you still smell it. We don’t put anything in that pit but wood. We use oak wood, and we use a little bit of dry mesquite, but it’s got to be cut and dried for about a year before I’ll burn it. You could put anything on there, and it will cook and taste wonderful, without any extra. I don’t season the meat at all.

I don’t put salt, no pepper, no spices, no rubs, no nothing. And I don’t know many people that do it that way, but we do, and it works pretty good. I finally learned that you’re not supposed to hear barbecue cooking. If you can hear

We use post oak. It’s a good, hard wood. It gives meat a good flavor, and it’s something we started with and have always stayed with. If you change the wood, you’re going to change the flavor of the meat. . . . Depending on the size of the brisket, it takes about four to six hours on average to cook. We try not to overcook the meat, but still keep it good and juicy—not tough. We start cooking on weekdays between four and four thirty a.m. . . . We strive for everything we serve just to be consistent. I tell you, it’s hard to do.

pit masters and proprietors, who share the secrets of barbecue in their own words. Like side dishes to the first-person stories, short essays by the authors explore a myriad of barbecue’s themes—food history, manliness and meat, technology, nostalgia, civil rights, small-town Texas identity, barbecue’s connection to music, favorite drinks such as Big Red, Dr Pepper, Shiner Bock, and Lone Star beer—to mention only a few. An ode to Texas barbecue in films, a celebration of sports and barbecue, and a pie chart of the desserts that accompany brisket all find homes in the sidebars of the book, while photographic portraits of people and places bring readers face-to-face with the culture of barbecue.

I learned to barbecue around 1958. I had just moved to Austin. My brother was about eight years older than me, and he hung around some guys that was even a little older than him. And every weekend, these guys would go out and barbecue in the backyard, and, man, they could barbecue so good.

I wished I could barbecue as good as they could now; I still can’t. But I hung around them enough to learn how to barbecue well enough to start my own business. That’s the way I learned how to cook—backyard.

The best advertisement we can have is that smoke floating across the highway.

It’s kind of hard to pass by the barbecue pit here without smelling the aroma and seeing the long lines.

A Ford F-150 King Ranch edition truck weighs about 5,280 pounds.

Conclus i on: Brisket equal to the weight of 545 Ford F-150 King Ranch edition pickups.

hardcover

Coleslaw

Ca lcu lati on: An Olympic-size swimming pool holds 648,000

gallons, which is 82,944,000 ounces. Going back to our 8,640,000 meals a year, let’s say that 7,000,000 of those meals include an 8-ounce cup of coleslaw. So, then, 56,000,000 ounces of coleslaw are consumed each year.

Conclus i on: The coleslaw consumed by Central Texas barbecue eaters in one year could fill an Olympic-size swimming pool about two-thirds full.

Cords of wood

Ca lcu lati on: A tree man estimates he could cut 30,000 acres in

his career. If that tree man supplies one-third of our 80 restaurants with wood, during a woodcutting career lasting around 35 years, then it would take 90,000 acres to supply all the restaurants for 35 years.

That gives us about 2,570 acres to fuel a year of barbecue. A football field is roughly equivalent to 1.3 acres.

Conclus i on: (Enough trees to cover 1,977 Texas football fields.) Or, if Ronnie Vinikoff ’s sustainable forestry catches on, a single football field, replanted and cut over and over.

Photography, Nature, Environmental Studies

Acclaimed photographer Laurence Parent and former Texas Parks & Wildlife editor David Baxter create a masterful portrait of one of the world’s most beautiful, ecologically diverse, and increasingly endangered rivers

Big River, Rio Grande B y L a u r e n c e Pa r e n t a n d D a v i d B a x t e r Foreword by And rew Sansom LAURENCE PARENT Wimberley, Texas Parent is the author of thirty-seven books, including Big Bend National Park, Texas Coast, Texas Mountains (all co-authored by Joe Nick Patoski), and Official Guide to Texas State Parks and Historic Sites. A full-time freelance photographer and writer specializing in landscape, travel, and nature subjects, Parent has published in Men’s Journal, Outside, Backpacker, Sierra, Natural History, National Parks, Newsweek, Arizona Highways, Travel & Leisure, the New York Times, Texas Highways, Texas Monthly, Texas Parks & Wildlife, and New Mexico Magazine.

DAVID B AXTER Austin, Texas Baxter is the former editor of Texas Parks & Wildlife. He retired in 1998 after a twenty-seven-year career with the magazine and currently serves as consulting editor for Texas Wildlife Association publications.

He also edited the book A Sportsman’s Guide to Texas.

Many people know the Rio Grande as a recreational river— a place for float trips through the canyons of Big Bend; for fishing at Lakes Amistad and Falcon; for archaeological study of ancient pictographs at the river’s confluence with the Pecos; or for hiking the river in New Mexico and Colorado. Yet these pleasant interludes on the Rio Grande in its more scenic stretches are only part of its story. The other parts include controversies over water rights and water quality, terrorism threats both real and imagined, and the smuggling of drugs and humans across the international border. In Big River, Rio Grande, acclaimed photographer Laurence Parent teams up with former Texas Parks & Wildlife editor David Baxter to create an expansive portrait of this magnificent river that highlights both its timeless beauty and its current challenges.

Laurence Parent’s photographs capture many of the most dramatic and lovely stretches of the Rio Grande from its mouth at the Gulf of Mexico to its headwaters 1,896 miles northwest in Colorado. He includes striking scenes of the canyons and Sierra del Carmen Mountains of the Big Bend in Texas and Mexico, of the Conchos River in Mexico, of the Carson and Santa Fe National Forests in New Mexico, and of the Rio Grande National Forest and San Juan Mountains in Colorado, to mention only a few places. David Baxter tells a contemporary story of the river through the voices of people who are working passionately for its survival—ranchers and other citizen activists, water rights attorneys and water managers, scientists who study endangered fish species, government and law enforcement officials, and river outfitters.

Architecture, Urban Studies, History

This fascinating look at what has been lost—and what might have been built—in Houston sounds a call to preserve Houston’s built heritage before more architectural treasures are lost forever

Houston Lost and Unbuilt

By Steven R. Strom

STEVEN R . STRO M Playa del Rey, California Strom is a communications specialist for the Aerospace Corporation in Los Angeles, California. He holds an M.A. in American history from Boston College. Strom headed the Architectural Archive at the Houston Metropolitan Research Center (HMRC) for nine years and later served as Director of HMRC. He has published numerous articles on architecture, space, and Houston history, as well as the book International Launch Site Guide. Houston Lost and Unbuilt grows out of award-winning articles he originally published in Cite: The Architecture and Design Review of Houston.

Driven by an almost fanatical desire for whatever is new, “modern,” and likely to make money, Houston is constantly in the process of remaking itself. Few structures remain from the nineteenth century, and even much of the twentieth-century built environment has fallen before the wrecking ball of “progress.” Indeed, the demolition of older buildings in Houston can be compared to the destruction of cityscapes such as Berlin, Warsaw, and Tokyo in World War II. But because this wholesale restructuring of Houston’s built environment has happened in peacetime, historically minded people have only recently sounded an alarm over what is being lost and the toll this destruction is taking on Houstonians’ sense of place.

Houston Lost and Unbuilt presents an extensive catalogue of twentieth-century public and commercial buildings that have been lost forever, as well as an intriguing selection of buildings that never made it off the drawing board. The lost buildings (or lost interiors of buildings) span a wide range, from civic gathering places such as the Houston Municipal Auditorium and the Astrodome to commercial enterprises such as the Foley Brothers, Sears Roebuck, and Sakowitz department stores to “Theatre Row” downtown to neighborhoods such as Fourth Ward/Freedmen’s Town. Steven Strom’s introductions and photo captions describe each significant building’s contribution to the civic life of Houston. The “unbuilt” section of the book includes numerous previously unpublished architectural renderings of proposed projects such as a multi-building city center, monorail, and people mover system, all which reflect Houston’s fascination with the future and optimism that technology will solve all of the city’s problems.

Decades after the U.S. Supreme Court and certain governmental actions struck down racial segregation in the larger society, American prison administrators still boldly adhered to discriminatory practices. Not until 1975 did legislation prohibit racial segregation and discrimination in Texas prisons. However, vestiges of this practice endured behind prison walls. Charting the transformation from segregation to desegregation in Texas prisons—which resulted in Texas prisons becoming one of the most desegregated places in America—First Available Cell chronicles the pivotal steps in the process, including prison director George J. Beto’s 1965 decision to allow inmates of different races to co-exist in the same prison setting, defying Southern norms.

The authors also clarify the significant impetus for change that emerged in 1972, when a Texas inmate filed a lawsuit alleging racial segregation and discrimination in the Texas Department of Corrections. Perhaps surprisingly, a multiracial group of prisoners sided with the TDC, fearing that desegregated housing would unleash racial violence. Members of the security staff also feared and predicted severe racial violence. Nearly two decades after the 1972 lawsuit, one vestige of segregation remained in place: the double cell. Revealing the aftermath of racial desegregation within that 9 x 5 foot space, First Available Cell tells the story of one of the greatest social experiments with racial desegregation in American history.

Modern Texas, like Mexico, traces its beginning to sixteenthcentury encounters between Europeans and Indians who contested control over a vast land. Unlike Mexico, however, Texas eventually received the stamp of Anglo-American culture, so that Spanish contributions to present-day Texas tend to be obscured or even unknown.

The first edition of Spanish Texas, 1519–1821 (1992) sought to emphasize the significance of the Spanish period in Texas history. Beginning with information on the land and its inhabitants before the arrival of Europeans, the original volume covered major people and events from early exploration to the end of the colonial era.

This new edition of Spanish Texas has been extensively revised and expanded to include a wealth of discoveries about Texas history since 1990. The opening chapter on Texas Indians reveals their high degree of independence from European influence and extended control over their own lives. Other chapters incorporate new information on La Salle’s Garcitas Creek colony and French influences in Texas, the destruction of the San Sabá mission and the Spanish punitive expedition to the Red River in the late 1750s, and eighteenth-century Bourbon reforms in the Americas. Drawing on their own and others’ research, the authors also provide more inclusive coverage of the role of women of various ethnicities in Spanish Texas and of the legal rights of women on the Texas frontier, demonstrating that whether European or Indian, elite or commoner, slave owner or slave, women enjoyed legal protections not heretofore fully appreciated.
