Economics

From the book: With fascinating stories of money men, from Alexander Hamilton to Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke, and deft explanations of the ins and outs of monetary policy, Greenback Planet clarifies why the dollar rules the world—and why that should frighten us all

Greenback Planet

How the Dollar Conquered the World and Threatened Civilization as We Know It B y H . W. B r a n d s

H . W. B RANDS Austin, Texas Brands is the Dickson Allen Anderson Centennial Professor of History at the University of Texas at Austin. He writes on American history and politics, with books including Traitor to His Class: The Privileged Life and Radical Presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson, The Age of Gold, The First American: The Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin, and T.R. Several of his books have been best sellers; Traitor to His Class and The First American were finalists for the Pulitzer Prize. Brands lectures frequently on historical and current events and appears on national and international television and radio programs.

The world runs on the U.S. dollar. From Washington to Beijing, governments, businesses, and individuals rely on the dollar to conduct commerce and invest profitably and safely—even after the global financial meltdown in 2008 revealed the potentially catastrophic cost of the dollar’s hegemony. But how did the greenback achieve this planetary dominance a mere century and a half after President Lincoln issued the first currency backed only by the credit—and credibility—of the federal government? In Greenback Planet, acclaimed historian H. W. Brands charts the dollar’s astonishing rise to become the world’s principal currency. Telling the story with the verve of a novelist, he recounts key episodes in U.S. monetary history, from the Civil War debate over fiat money (greenbacks) to the recent worldwide financial crisis. Brands explores the dollar’s changing relations to gold and silver and to other currencies and cogently explains how America’s economic might made the dollar the fundamental standard of value in world finance. He vividly describes the 1869 Black Friday attempt to corner the gold market, banker J. P. Morgan’s bailout of the U.S. treasury, the creation of the Federal Reserve, and President Franklin Roosevelt’s handling of the bank panic of 1933. Brands shows how lessons learned (and not learned) in the Great Depression have influenced subsequent U.S. monetary policy, and how the dollar’s dominance helped transform economies in countries ranging from Germany and Japan after World War II to Russia and China today. He concludes with a sobering dissection of the 2008 world financial debacle, which exposed the power—and the enormous risks—of the dollar’s worldwide reign.

“The financial panics of the early nineteenth century in America were local affairs, confined to a modest number of firms and affecting comparatively few people. The panics of the late nineteenth century had national effects, with some transatlantic connections via the gold standard, yet most of the world hardly noticed. In the modern era—the era of the dollar—the world couldn’t help noticing. The panic of 1929 helped trigger the global crisis of the 1930s. Not by accident did the nations of the world, gathered in London in 1933, listen for Franklin Roosevelt to declare the value of the dollar and thereby decree their fate. Richard Nixon’s closing of the gold window in 1971 rocked financial markets from London to Tokyo and Buenos Aires to Bombay. The dot-com bubble of the late 1990s burst in Silicon Valley but blew out lights in Bangalore and Mumbai (Bombay’s new name), Shanghai and Taipei, Seoul and Sydney. And then things got really hairy. The first years of the new century witnessed risk-taking on a scale never experienced be— H . W. B r a n d s fore and hardly ever imagined.”

Praise for H. W. Brands: “Brands [is] on the path to becoming the preeminent popular historian of his generation. . . . There is no denying [his] talent for clear, cogent, and uncluttered prose.” — C h i c a g o T r i bu n e

Essays

The first collection of its kind in scope and ambition, this volume brings together the most prominent western writers of the current generation to create new visions of the American West—“the West that is still becoming”

West of 98

Living and Writing the New American West E d i t e d b y L y n n S t e g n e r a n d Ru s s e l l R o w l a n d

LYNN STEGNER Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Greensboro, Vermont Stegner is the author of four works of fiction, three of them novels—Because a Fire Was in My Head (which won the Faulkner Award for Best Novel and was a Literary Ventures Selection, a Book Sense Pick, and a New York Times Editors’ Choice), Undertow, and Fata Morgana—and the novella triptych Pipers at the Gates of Dawn (Faulkner Society Gold Medal in the novella category).

RUSSELL RO WLAND Billings, Montana Rowland has published two novels: In Open Spaces, which earned a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly and made the San Francisco Chronicle’s Bestseller List, and The Watershed Years, which was a finalist for the High Plains Book Award for fiction.

What does it mean to be a westerner? With all the mythology that has grown up about the American West, is it even possible to describe “how it was, how it is, here, in the West—just that,” in the words of Lynn Stegner? Starting with that challenge, Stegner and Russell Rowland invited several dozen members of the western literary tribe to write about living in the West and being a western writer in particular. West of 98 gathers sixty-six literary testimonies, in essays and poetry, from a stellar collection of writers who represent every state west of the 98th parallel—a kind of Greek chorus of the most prominent voices in western literature today, who seek to “characterize the West as each of us grew to know it, and, equally important, the West that is still becoming.” In West of 98, western writers speak to the ways in which the West imprints itself on the people who live there, as well as how the people of the West create the personality of the region. The writers explore the western landscape—how it has been revered and abused across centuries—and the inescapable limitations its aridity puts on all dreams of conquest and development. They dismantle the boosterism of manifest destiny and the cowboy and mountain man ethos of every-manfor-himself, and show instead how we must create new narratives of cooperation if we are to survive in this spare and beautiful country. The writers seek to define the essence of both actual and metaphoric wilderness as they journey toward a West that might honestly be called home. A collective declaration not of our independence but of our interdependence with the land and with each other, West of 98 opens up a whole new panorama of the western experience.

“I would be converted to a religion of grass. Sleep the winter away and rise headlong each spring. Sink deep roots. Conserve water. Respect and nourish your neighbors and never let trees gain the upper hand. Such are the tenets and dogmas. As for the practice— grow lush in order to be devoured or caressed, stiffen in sweet elegance, invent startling seeds—those also make sense. Bow beneath the arm of fire. Connect underground. Provide. Provide. Be lovely and do no harm.”

“If the mountains were actually ennobling I would have noticed it by now. Everyone who can read comics is aware of the truly indigenous people of the West. We came much later, led by the US Cavalry and the railroads. As the cranky old lady at the grocer’s said, ‘The West wasn’t settled by nice people.’”

Douglas Unger “In Las Vegas, people rarely stay in one place very long. And a high percentage of people living here are not the same people who were here ten years ago—a recent local survey claims almost half the population intend one day to move somewhere else. There are few storied landmarks or historical buildings—ones that might have been considered so, like The Sands, The Dunes, the old Desert Inn, the Moulin Rouge, all of ‘Rat Pack’ showbiz fame, were routinely imploded in spectacular nighttime shows to make way for whatever came next. To a degree more extreme than in other Western cities, people keep moving in and moving out in a continual restless transience. Las Vegas is a city of second chances. Losers are welcome here. And America sorely needs such a place. The untold truth of this country is that, for every success story, it’s possible to find fivefold testimonies of people who have failed.”

Kent Meyers “So much has been written about the American West as a place where vision enlarges. The pronghorn’s eye, reputedly as good as a man’s with eight-power binoculars, is a kind of biological metaphor for this. On a shortgrass prairie, good eyesight and straightforward speed are the simplest ways to survive.”

David Masumoto “The West is about dirt. Good dirt. Rich dirt. Thick dirt. Lots of dirt. Dirt defines me. I write dirty stories. My people came from places where dirt was used up, the land was too crowded, or there wasn’t enough. My grandfathers emigrated from rural Japan; they were second sons from small, struggling farms, and the property would not be passed on to them. So they searched for new dirt and found it in America’s West. My home lies in the fertile Central Valley of California, a vast ancient lakebed fifty miles wide and hundreds of miles long. We work a small, eighty-acre organic farm south of Fresno.”

Denise Chávez “My work explores the multiple cultural dichotomies of life on La Frontera, saddled with its sad misconceptions, grand illusions, harsh realities, as well as its fierce beauty and surprising mercies. As a border writer, I continue to explore the wonderful living hybrids of our frontera world. And in that world we go back and forth and back and forth, now carrying a chicken, now a plank of wood, now a story. I grew up with border families with the names of Tashiro, Luján, Nakayama, Fielder, Chávez, Boyer, Salopek, Triviz, Barncastle, Stern, Po, Frietze, and Paco Wong, may he rest in peace, this Chinese Mexicano, patriarch of Chinese food in Juárez. My list could go on and on.”

Walter Kirn “Mostly, it comes at us from the southwest, from the general direction of Yellowstone Park, and once the battering begins, it doesn’t let up for days, sometimes weeks. When it starts it feels like normal wind, like ordinary rushing air, and people in town respond accordingly, removing laundry from clotheslines, shutting windows, and taking care to hold their car doors firmly when they open them in the grocery store park-

ing lot so that the gusts don’t catch them and bend them backward past the mechanical limits of their hinges. It’s potent when it hits Livingston, this wind—forty miles per hour isn’t unusual, and sometimes it’s closer to sixty, or even seventy—but to say that it ‘gusts’ is inaccurate, actually, because it’s incessant, vast, and deafening; the equivalent of a roaring wall of water unleashed by a catastrophic dam break.”

Dan O’Brien “It is early in the morning of November 5, 2008. Yesterday at this time I was driving to my polling place to vote in what the entire world has called a historic election. The trip took me about an hour each way and cost me about fifteen bucks. Most of the road is gravel and I had to be careful not to hit a deer because the nights have begun to freeze, the pastures have turned brown,

and the only green grass is in the road ditches where moisture has collected over the summer. The deer pile into those ditches this time of year, trying their best to lay on an extra layer of fat before the really cold days begin.”

From the introduction: “Unavoidably, many of the pieces in this volume talk about change, about newness, which, after all, is nothing new. What is new is the rate of change. The American West was opened and settled in a single century. Another century saw the region stippled in, with 80 percent living in urban centers and the rest dotting the empty geography between. Two hundred years of industrialization and exponential population growth can’t be ignored and, beat for beat, simply can’t be adapted to fast enough. And I don’t mean just ecological adaptation, I mean emotional, psychological. . . . We are not only subject to the forces of Nature, we have become one of its phenomena, like volcanic activity or climate warming, which is actively, measurably, changing the planet, but with the added element of consciousness. The West is our home field, and each of us — Ly n n S t e g n e r has a dog in this fight.” U 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 1 1

From Uncertain to Blue P h o t o g r a ph s b y K e i t h C a r t e r Introd uction by Horton Foote

This superb re-envisioning of Keith Carter’s highly acclaimed first book presents classic images of small-town life in a completely redesigned volume that also offers insight into Carter’s creative process through a new essay, contact sheets, and an amplified travel journal

“In the beginning, there was no real plan, just a road trip that became a journey.” In the years 1986 and 1987, Keith Carter and his wife, Patricia, visited one hundred small Texas towns with intriguing names like Diddy Waw Diddy, Elysian Fields, and Poetry. He says, “I tried to make my working method simple and practical: one town, one photograph. I would take several rolls of film but select only one image to represent that dot on my now-tattered map. The titles of the photographs are the actual names of the small towns. . . .” Carter created a body of work that evoked the essence of small-town life for many people, including renowned playwright and fellow Texan, Horton Foote. In 1988, Carter published his one town/one picture collection in From Uncertain to Blue, a landmark book that won acclaim both nationally and internationally for the artistry, timelessness, and universal appeal of its images—and established Carter as one of America’s most promising fine art photographers.

Now a quarter century after the book’s publication, From Uncertain to Blue has been completely re-envisioned and includes a new essay in which Carter describes how the search for photographic subjects in small towns gradually evolved into his first significant work as an artist. He also offers additional insight into his creative process by including some of his original contact sheets. And Patricia Carter gives her own perspective on their journey in her amplified notes about many of the places they visited as they discovered the world of possibilities from Uncertain to Blue.

“When we arrived at a stained ink spot off the map, it was often so small there appeared to be nothing there—at least at first glance. I was at a loss in the beginning. I made no photographs in the first few towns. I enjoyed driving around, but I felt there was not much photographic material. . . . But slowly I began photographing that ‘nothing.’ I made pictures of dogs, trucks, car tires, skulls, bee hives, pool tables—I worked with what I had, and slowly what I had became what I wanted to see. I was beguiled by the quirkiness and majesty of ordinary people in ordinary places. I still am. . . . In the adventurous spirit of our rambling the images began to meander on their own. They were just ordinary pictures. Nothing was sacred, but I was learning to never underestimate the power ordinary things, or people, carry with them, particularly when fixed in a photograph.” —Keith Carter U 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 1 1

This richly illustrated volume explores the work of a pivotal figure in Mexican photography who influenced generations of viewers and photographers, including Manuel Álvarez Bravo, by creating an enduring visual iconography of the essence of Mexico

Timeless Mexico

The Photographs of Hugo Brehme B y Su s a n T o o m e y F r o s t For ew o rd by S te ll a de S á Reg o Hugo Brehme created an idyllic vision of Mexico that influenced photography, film, and literature for a hundred years. His beautifully composed, timeless images of lo mexicano—cacti and pyramids, Indian children and marketplaces, colonial buildings and snow-capped volcanoes and peaks—were widely distributed and acclaimed both in Mexico and internationally. Noted critic Olivier Debroise characterized Brehme as “both the first modern photographer of Mexico and the last representative of its old guard and of a certain nineteenth-century vision.” Working in Mexico from 1905 until his death in 1954, he was an early mentor to Mexico’s most famous photographer, Manuel Álvarez Bravo, and a significant influence on Golden Age filmmakers Gabriel Figueroa and Emilio “El Indio” Fernández. Brehme-esque imagery even appears in the work of American filmmaker John Ford and Russian filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein. Timeless Mexico presents an outstanding selection of Hugo Brehme’s photographs, ranging from imagery of the Mexican Revolution to scenic landscapes, colonial architecture, and the everyday life of indigenous peoples. Susan Toomey Frost, who has collected Brehme’s photography for many years, provides an illuminating introduction to his life and work. She also describes his practice of printing and distributing his photographs as collectible postcards—a practice that, together with publication in countless books, magazines, and tourist brochures, gave Brehme’s work the wide circula-

tion that made his images of Mexico iconic. Art historian Stella de Sá Rego authoritatively discusses Brehme’s place in the history of Mexican photography, especially within Pictorialism, as she reveals how a man from Eisenach, Germany, came to create an enduring visual mythology of the essence of Mexico.

Cooking, Politics

In this delicious memoir, Molly Ivins’s longtime friend and fellow cook Ellen Sweets offers an intimate, fascinating portrait of the private Molly behind the “professional Texan” through stories of the fabulous meals she prepared for friends and family, along with thirty-five recipes

You probably knew Molly Ivins as an unabashed civil libertarian who used her rapier wit and good ole Texas horse sense to excoriate political figures she deemed unworthy of our trust and respect. But did you also know that Molly was one helluva cook? And we’re not just talking chili and chicken-fried steak, either. Molly Ivins honed her culinary skills on visits to France—often returning with perfected techniques for saumon en papillote or delectable clafouti aux cerises. Friends who had the privilege of sharing Molly’s table got not only a heaping helping of her insights into the political shenanigans of the day, but also a mouth-watering meal, prepared from scratch with the finest ingredients and assembled with the same meticulous attention to detail that Molly devoted to skewering a political recalcitrant. In Stirring It Up with Molly Ivins, her longtime friend and frequent sous-chef Ellen Sweets takes us into the kitchen with Molly and introduces us to the private woman behind the public figure. She serves up favorite stories about Ivins as she recalls the fabulous meals they shared, complete with recipes for thirty-five of Molly’s signature dishes. These stories reveal a woman who was even more fascinating and complex than the “professional Texan” she enjoyed playing in public. Friends who ate with Molly knew a cultured woman with a surprising range of interests. They also came to revere the courageous woman who refused to let cancer stop her from doing what she wanted, when she wanted. This is the Molly you’ll be delighted to meet in Stirring It Up with Molly Ivins.

“I admit that I had misgivings about a book about cooking with Molly Ivins. It seemed that it was neither fish nor fowl, neither a cookbook nor a memoir. Yet the more I thought about it, the more the idea of a culinary memoir appealed to me. Here’s why: Because she was a performer (she described herself as a professional Texan), Molly Ivins was a difficult person to know. Too often, even among large groups of friends, she was ‘in character’ or ‘in voice.’ . . . Yet there was much more to Molly than the public persona, as interesting and entertaining as it was. She was polyglot fluent, speaking Texan, Smith College English, and French. She was complex. She read broadly and deeply. She was loyal to a fault, often hiring a larger entourage of unemployed friends than did Elvis. She was an ardent Elvis fan and loved Jerry Lee Lewis enough to buy a piano she never learned to play in hopes of someday mastering ‘Great Balls of Fire.’ It was in the kitchen and at the table with small groups of friends that Molly disarmed. It is Molly disarmed who Ellen Sweets introduces — L o u Dub o s e to readers.”

Or you can skip the cheese and drizzle the eggs with a bit of white truffle oil; Molly was quite possibly the only person I knew at the time who kept white truffle oil in the fridge. No, she was the only person I knew who kept it at all. This breakfast merits a mimosa. Cut the recipe in half for two; otherwise it serves 6 French diners or 4 Texans. Ingredients 12 large eggs ∏ cup cream (not milk, not half and half, not 2 percent, not skim) 6 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into little cubes and divided Sea salt and freshly ground pepper 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives 2 teaspoons white truffle oil 12 slices from a loaf of brioche, toasted Directions • In a bowl, whisk eggs and cream. • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large stainless-steel bowl over a stockpot with about 2 quarts of boiling water. • Add eggs and cook over low heat, gently stirring with a silicon spatula and scraping the bottom of the bowl until eggs begin to set, about 5 minutes. • Add the remaining butter, a little chunk at a time, all the while stirring and scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl, until the eggs are thick and cooked through but still soft, about 5 more minutes. • Season with salt and pepper; transfer to plates. Drizzle with truffle oil, sprinkle with the chives, and serve at once with the brioche.

JAMES T H OMAS Yellow Springs, Ohio Thomas coedited (with Denise Thomas) the first five volumes of Best of the West: New Stories from the Wide Side of the Missouri. He has taught fiction at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.

D. SET H H ORTON Richmond, Virginia Horton, who holds an MFA in creative writing from the University of Arizona, was fiction editor of the Sonora Review. He previously edited the collection New Stories from the Southwest.

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 D. Seth Horton revived the series in 2009. The Best of the West 2011: New Stories from the Wide Side of the Missouri is the latest volume in what has become one of the nation’s most important anthologies. Editors Horton and Thomas have chosen twenty stories by writers including Rick Bass, T. C. Boyle, Ron Carlson, Philipp Meyer, Dagoberto Gilb, Yiyun Li, Antonya Nelson, and Sam Shepard. Subjects vary from an Idaho family that breeds lions and tigers with disastrous results, to a Mormon veteran whose mind is taken over by a nineteenth-century consciousness, to a Texas boy who spends an afternoon with Bonnie and Clyde shortly before their deaths. Taken together, these stories suggest that the West has become one of the most exciting and diverse literary regions in the twenty-first century.

Artist’s Monographs, Art History

Gael Stack A r t w o r k b y G a e l S t a ck Essays by Raph ael Rubinstein and Al ison d e L ima Greene Foreword by Rackstraw Downes

Lavishly illustrated with color plates, Gael Stack is the first retrospective monograph on the art of one of America’s most accomplished contemporary painters, whose work charts the uncertain territories of memory An artist whose work evokes both memory and the “gaps, sinkholes, and other chasms” found in our experiences, Gael Stack is one of the most accomplished American painters working today. Her large canvases and smaller drawings use fragments of words and images, often layered over one another like a palimpsest, to create a visual language that explores the past’s implacable hold on the present, with what is unknown and unspoken occasionally poking through. Serendipitous elements of graciousness and optimism also distinguish her recent work. Gael Stack is the first retrospective monograph on the artist’s career, which has spanned four decades. It features a catalog of some one hundred works reproduced in full-color, full-page plates. Accompanying the images are essays by Raphael Rubinstein and Alison de Lima Greene, who discuss Stack’s work in the context of world art. Rubinstein likens her paintings to Freud’s “mystic writing-pad,” a surface layer that can be endlessly written upon, erased, and refilled, while the underlying tablet retains traces of all that has been writ-

Haiti, Slavery, Child Abuse

From the author of Restavec: From Haitian Slave Child to Middle-Class American, which has sold more than 25,000 copies, comes a searing memoir that puts a human face on the issue of child slavery and sounds a call to end it through advocacy and education

My Stone of Hope

J EAN-RO B ERT C ADET Cincinnati, Ohio Cadet is addressing the restavek issue with the Haitian government and prominent citizens to affect change within Haiti. He has addressed the United Nations, the International Labor Organization, and the U.S. Congress, and has also appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show. He founded the Jean R. Cadet Restavek Organization to bring an end to child slavery in Haiti through increased global awareness of the issue while also providing immediate relief to children trapped in the restavek system.

There are 27 million slaves living in the world today— more than at any time in history. Three hundred thousand of them are impoverished children in Haiti, who “stay with” families as unpaid and uneducated domestic workers, subject to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. This practice, known locally as restavek (“staying with”), is so widespread that one in ten Haitian children is caught up in this form of slavery. Jean-Robert Cadet was a restavek in Haiti from the late 1950s until the early 1970s. He told the harrowing story of his youth in Restavec: From Haitian Slave Child to Middle-Class American—a landmark book that exposed ongoing child slavery in Haiti. Now in My Stone of Hope, Cadet continues his story from his early attempts to adjust to freedom in American society to his current life mission of eliminating child slavery through advocacy and education. As he recounts his own struggles to surmount the psychological wounds of slavery, Cadet puts a human face on the suffering that hundreds of thousands of Haitians still endure daily. He also builds a convincing case that child slavery is not just one among many problems that Haiti faces as the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation. Rather, he argues that the systematic abuse of so many of its children is Haiti’s fundamental problem, because it creates damaged adults who seem incapable of governing the country justly or managing its economy productively. For everyone concerned about the fate of Haiti, the welfare of children, and the freedom of people around the globe, My Stone of Hope sounds an irresistible call to action.

Author speaks to an eight-year-old going to fetch water with a five-gallon bucket.

From the book: “I do not exaggerate in asserting that the restavek system is destroying Haiti’s future and severely limiting the country’s potential for development and growth, even its economic well-being. Often, restaveks grow up to be adults who see no value in other people’s lives because their own lives were never valued. They were given nothing, and they have little or nothing to give back, individually, relationally, or in the context of society. . . . Child slavery perpetuates poverty, illiteracy, and crime. I believe that, as a nation-state, Haiti is severely ill. Every segment of its society is desensitized to the plight of children in restavek situations.” —Jean-Robert Cadet

The University of Texas Press proudly launches a major new series

The Discovering America series continues in the spring of 2012 with these two books:

Discovering America

Colonel Sanders A Life by josh ozersky

mark crispin miller, series editor

In Colonel Sanders: A Life, Josh Ozersky delves into the rags-to-riches tale of the eccentric wanderer who built an empire based improbably on chicken (long known as a poor folks’ food) and who then ended up, uncomfortably, as a mere symbol for the corporation that bought him out.

This series begins with a startling premise—that even now, 235 years since its founding, America remains a largely undiscovered country with much of its amazing story yet to be told. In these books, some of America’s foremost historians and cultural critics will bring to light episodes in our nation’s history that have never been explored. They’ll offer fresh takes on events and people we thought we knew well and draw unexpected connections that will deepen our understanding of our national character.

Future books include:

MARK C RISPIN MILLER New York, New York Miller is Professor of Media Ecology at NYU’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. An expert on modern propaganda, history and tactics of advertising, American film, and media ownership, he is the author of Boxed In: The Culture of TV; Seeing Through Movies (editor); Mad Scientists: The Secret History of Modern Propaganda; Spectacle: Operation Desert Storm and the Triumph of Illusion; and The Bush Dyslexicon. His newest book is Cruel and Unusual: Bush/Cheney’s New World Order.

Larzer Ziff ’s The All-American Boy, the history of an ideal type once represented by such figures as George Washington, Abe Lincoln, and Tom Sawyer—a type immensely popular before the rise of adolescent heroes like James Dean and Holden Caulfield; Stephen Cox’s American Christianity: The Continuing Revolution, which brilliantly demolishes the stubborn myth—sustained by liberals and conservatives alike—that there has ever been a stable and enduring “old-time religion” in the history of the United States; and John Prados’s CIA’s Real Family Jewels, filled with fascinating stories of temptation and deceit from the Cold War to the War on Terror. These books will be followed by Michael Kackman’s dual history of Hopalong Cassidy and the Cisco Kid and Paul Youngquist’s portrait of Sun Ra.

Addiction and Recovery, Border Studies, Anthropology

From the sweaty summer days of a junky’s nightmare to the bittersweet success of true surrender and emergence into a new way of life, Border Junkies paints a searing, first-hand portrait of addiction, poverty, and recovery on the U.S.-Mexico border

Border Junkies

From the book: “I don’t remember the first person that I asked for money on the street, but it was on Avenida Juárez near the bridge. I had never begged for money, never asked anyone for anything on the street. I had always been a workingman; I had worked since I was seventeen years old and had always paid my own rent and been self-sufficient. I had sunk to a new bottom. Of all of the lows that life can offer, being reduced to begging on the street is one of the lowest. That afternoon, I realized that even if I were sick and dying on the sidewalk, people would just step over me and keep going. On the streets of Juárez, those who got too down-and-out stayed down-and-out. The only way I was going to survive was to struggle through and do whatever it took to scramble up enough money to maintain my habit. I knew that if I didn’t act fast, I would soon be sick again. And this time, the world would walk over me, not caring whether I lived or died. Juárez is like that. If you fell off into the gutter and reached up for help, most people would walk past you without a second thought. I knew this to be true because I wasn’t —Scott Comar the only desperate mendicant out there on the streets.”

Addiction and Survival on the Streets of Juárez and El Paso By Scott Comar Int ro d u c tio n by H o war d Cam p b el l SCOTT COMAR El Paso, Texas Comar has held a variety of jobs, including construction laborer, furniture mover, and long distance truck driver. After recovering from addiction, he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Texas at El Paso, where he is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in borderlands history.

The drug war that has turned Juárez, Mexico, into a killing field that has claimed more than 7,000 lives since 2008 captures headlines almost daily. But few accounts go all the way down to the streets to investigate the lives of individual drug users. One of those users, Scott Comar, survived years of heroin addiction and failed attempts at detox and finally cleaned up in 2003. Now a graduate student at the University of Texas at El Paso in the history department’s borderlands doctoral program, Comar has written Border Junkies, a searingly honest account of his spiraling descent into heroin addiction, surrender, change, and recovery on the U.S.-Mexico border. Border Junkies is the first book ever written about the lifestyle of active addiction on the streets of Juárez. Comar vividly describes living between the disparate Mexican and American cultures and among the fellow junkies, drug dealers, hookers, coyote smugglers, thieves, and killers who were his friends and neighbors in addiction—and the social workers, missionaries, shelter workers, and doctors who tried to help him escape. With the perspective of his anthropological training, he shows how homelessness, poverty, and addiction all fuel the use of narcotics and the rise in their consumption on the streets of Juárez and contribute to the societal decay of this Mexican urban landscape. Comar also offers significant insights into the U.S.-Mexico borderland’s underground and peripheral economy and the ways in which the region’s inhabitants adapt to the local economic terrain.

Ornithology, Conservation, Environmental History

Sounding an alarm over the potential extinction of many albatross species, this book encourages individuals, environmental groups, fishery oversight bodies, and governments to create sustainable management practices for whole ocean ecosystems

The Albatross and the Fish Linked Lives in the Open Seas

B y R o b i n W. D o u g h t y a n d V i r g i n i a C a r m i c h a e l Foreword by H. R . H. Prince of Wal es Introd uction by Joh n C roxal l Breeding on remote ocean islands and spending much of its life foraging for food across vast stretches of seemingly empty seas, the albatross remains a legend for most people. And yet, humans are threatening the albatross family to such an extent that it is currently the most threatened bird group in the world. In this extensively researched, highly readable book, Robin W. Doughty and Virginia Carmichael sound an alarm over the potentially catastrophic extinction process that has gone largely unremarked by governments and fishing interests around the globe. Doughty and Carmichael authoritatively establish that the albatross’s fate is linked to the fate of two of the highest-value table fish, Bluefin Tuna and Patagonian Toothfish, which are threatened by unregulated commercial harvesting. The authors tell us that commercial fishing techniques are annually killing tens of thousands of albatrosses. And the authors explain how the breeding biology of albatrosses makes them unable to replenish their numbers at the rate they are being depleted. Doughty and Carmichael set the albatross’s fate in the larger context of threats facing the ocean commons, ranging from industrial overfishing to our habit of dumping chemicals, solid waste, and plastic trash into the open seas. They also highlight the efforts of dedicated individuals, environmental groups, fishery management bodies, and governments who are working for seabird and fish conservation and demonstrate that these efforts can lead to sustainable solutions for the iconic seabirds and the entire ocean ecosystem.

It is based in part on the research findings of scientists studying at Las Cuevas Research Station in the Chiquibul Forest. The book is unique in demystifying many of the big scientific debates related to rainforests. These include “Why are tropical forests so diverse?”; “How do flora and fauna evolve?”; and “How do species interact?” By focusing on the ecotourism paradise of Belize, this book illustrates how science has solved some of the riddles that once perplexed the likes of Charles Darwin, and also shows how it can assist us in managing our planet and forest resources wisely in the future.

From the book: “I think every adoptive mother probably has some kind of internal dialogue with the other mother. In our case, this imagined relationship has been magnified as Nelson has gradually revealed to me his singular focus on this missing mother. I have felt a similar need to fill an empty space for myself, to explore through the power of a reconstructed voice how Mila might have come to make the decisions she did. While . . . I have learned about Mila from her family, neither her true motivations nor what actually happened to her in Honduras can be verified. I have to go out on the thin ice of my imagination, but my attempt to know her and honor her mirrors my son’s desire, for she will always be a part of him that is missing —Margaret E. Ward and that he misses.”

International Adoption, Latin American Studies

While adding an engrossing new chapter to the story of the Salvadoran civil war and its long aftermath, Missing Mila, Finding Family deepens our understanding of the issues involved in international adoptions and the desire of birth families to find their disappeared sons and daughters

Layers of red tape dissolved as the American Embassy there smoothed the way for the adoption. Within a few weeks, Margaret Ward and Thomas de Witt were the parents of a toddler they named Nelson—an adorable boy whose prior life seemed as mysterious as the fact that government officials in two countries had inexplicably expedited his adoption. In Missing Mila, Finding Family, Margaret Ward tells the poignant and compelling story of this international adoption and the astonishing revelations that emerged when Nelson’s birth family finally relocated him in 1997. After recounting their early years together, during which she and Tom welcomed the birth of a second son, Derek, and created a family with both boys, Ward vividly recalls the upheaval that occurred when members of Nelson’s birth family contacted them and sought a reunion with the boy they knew as Roberto. She describes how their sense of family expanded to include Nelson’s Central American relatives, who helped her piece together the lives of her son’s birth parents and their clandestine activities as guerrillas in El Salvador’s civil war. In particular, Ward develops an internal dialogue with Nelson’s deceased mother Mila, an elusive figure whose life and motivations she tries to understand.

This fascinating account examines how Abraham Zapruder’s accidental footage of the Kennedy assassination has been transformed from documentary evidence to an aesthetic and cultural lodestone

Zaprudered

The Kennedy Assassination Film in Visual Culture By Ø y v i n d Våg n e s

As the fiftieth anniversary of the Kennedy assassination approaches, the traumatic aspects of the tragedy continue to haunt our perceptions of the 1960s. One reason for this lies in the home movie of the incident filmed by Abraham Zapruder, a bystander who became one of the twentieth century’s most important accidental documentarians. The first book devoted exclusively to the topic, Zaprudered traces the journey of the film and its effect on the world’s collective imagination. Providing insightful perspective as an observer of American culture, Norwegian media studies scholar Øyvind Vågnes begins by analyzing three narratives that are projections of Zapruder’s images: performance group Ant Farm’s video The Eternal Frame, Don DeLillo’s novel Underworld, and an episode from Seinfeld. Subsequent topics he investigates include Dealey Plaza’s Sixth Floor Museum, Zoran Naskovski’s installation Death in Dallas, assassin video games, and other artifacts of the ways in which the footage has made a lasting impact on popular culture and the historical imagination. Vågnes also explores the role of other accidental documentarians, such as those who captured scenes of 9/11. Zapruder’s footage has never yielded a conclusive account of what happened in Dealey Plaza. Zaprudered thoroughly examines both this historical enigma and its indelible afterimages in our collective imagination.

Super Black places the appearance of black superheroes alongside broad and sweeping cultural trends in American politics and pop culture, which reveals how black superheroes are not disposable pop products, but rather a fascinating racial phenomenon through which futuristic expressions and fantastic visions of black racial identity and symbolic political meaning are presented. Adilifu Nama sees the value—and finds new avenues for exploring racial identity—in black superheroes who are often dismissed as sidekicks, imitators of established white heroes, or are accused of having no role outside of blaxploitation film contexts. Nama examines seminal black comic book superheroes such as Black Panther, Black Lightning, Storm, Luke Cage, Blade, the Falcon, Nubia, and others, some of whom also appear on the small and large screens, as well as how the imaginary black superhero has come to life in the image of President Barack Obama. Super Black explores how black superheroes are a powerful source of racial meaning, narrative, and imagination in American society that express a myriad of racial assumptions, political perspectives, and fantastic (re)imaginings of black identity. The book also demonstrates how these figures overtly represent or implicitly signify social discourse and accepted wisdom concerning notions of racial reciprocity, equality, forgiveness, and ultimately, racial justice.

World of Fear, Cinema of Terror Horror films have exploded in popularity since the tragic events of September 11, 2001, many of them breaking box-office records and generating broad public discourse. These films have attracted A-list talent and earned award nods, while at the same time becoming darker, more disturbing, and increasingly apocalyptic. Why has horror suddenly become more popular, and what does this say about us? What do specific horror films and trends convey about American society in the wake of events so horrific that many pundits initially predicted the death of the genre? How could American audiences, after tasting real horror, want to consume images of violence on screen? Horror after 9/11 represents the first major exploration of the horror genre through the lens of 9/11 and the subsequent transformation of American and global society. Films discussed include the Twilight saga; the Saw series; Hostel; Cloverfield; 28 Days Later; remakes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn of the Dead, and The Hills Have Eyes; and many more. The contributors analyze recent trends in the horror genre, including the rise of ‘torture porn,’ the big-budget remakes of classic horror films, the reinvention of traditional monsters such as vampires and zombies, and a new awareness of visual technologies as sites of horror in themselves. The essays examine the allegorical role that the horror film has held in the last ten years, and the ways that it has been translating and reinterpreting the discourses and images of terror into its own cinematic language.

American Film Cycles

Reframing Genres, Screening Social Problems, and Defining Subcultures By Amanda Ann Klein

Her research and teaching interests include postcolonial literature and film; globalization, diaspora, and cultural production; gender and sexuality; cinema in South Asia; and the state and the entertainment industry.

India produces an impressive number of films each year in a variety of languages. Here, Monika Mehta breaks new ground by analyzing Hindi films and exploring the censorship of gender and heterosexuality in Bombay cinema. She studies how film censorship on various levels makes the female body and female sexuality pivotal in constructing national identity, not just through the films themselves but also through the heated debates that occur in newspapers and other periodicals. The standard claim is that the state dictates censorship and various prohibitions, but Mehta explores how relationships among the state, the film industry, and the public illuminate censorship’s role in identity formation, while also examining how desire, profits, and corruption are generated through the act of censoring. Committed to extending a feminist critique of mass culture in the global south, Mehta situates the story of censorship in a broad social context and traces the intriguing ways in which the heated debates on sexuality in Bombay cinema actually produce the very forms of sexuality they claim to regulate. She imagines afresh the theoretical field of censorship by combining textual analysis, archival research, and qualitative fieldwork. Her analysis reveals how central concepts of film studies, such as stardom, spectacle, genre, and sound, are employed and (re)configured within the ambit of state censorship, thereby expanding the scope of their application and impact.

A series of movies that share images, characters, settings, plots, or themes, film cycles have been an industrial strategy since the beginning of cinema. While some have viewed them as “subgenres,” mini-genres, or nascent film genres, Amanda Ann Klein argues that film cycles are an entity in their own right and a subject worthy of their own study. She posits that film cycles retain the marks of their historical, economic, and generic contexts and therefore can reveal much about the state of contemporary politics, prevalent social ideologies, aesthetic trends, popular desires, and anxieties. American Film Cycles presents a series of case studies of successful film cycles, including the melodramatic gangster films of the 1920s, the 1930s Dead End Kids cycle, the 1950s juvenile delinquent teenpic cycle, and the 1990s ghetto action cycle. Klein situates these films in several historical trajectories—the Progressive movement of the 1910s and 1920s, the beginnings of America’s involvement in World War II, the “birth” of the teenager in the 1950s, and the drug and gangbanger crises of the early 1990s. She shows how filmmakers, audiences, film reviewers, advertisements, and cultural discourses interact with and have an impact on the film texts. Her findings illustrate the utility of the film cycle in broadening our understanding of established film genres, articulating and building upon beliefs about contemporary social problems, shaping and disseminating deviant subcultures, and exploiting and reflecting upon racial and political upheaval.

Around the globe, people leave their homes to better themselves, to satisfy needs, and to care for their families. They also migrate to escape undesirable conditions, ranging from a lack of economic opportunities to violent conflicts at home or in the community. Most studies of migration have analyzed the topic at either the macro level of national and global economic and political forces, or the micro level of the psychology of individual migrants. Few studies have examined the “culture of migration”—that is, the cultural beliefs and social patterns that influence people to move. Cultures of Migration combines anthropological and geographical sensibilities, as well as sociological and economic models, to explore the household-level decision-making process that prompts migration. The authors draw their examples not only from their previous studies of Mexican Oaxacans and Turkish Kurds but also from migrants from Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, the Pacific, and many parts of Asia. They examine social, economic, and political factors that can induce a household to decide to send members abroad, along with the cultural beliefs and traditions that can limit migration. The authors look at both transnational and internal migrations, and at shorterand longer-term stays in the receiving location. They also consider the effect that migration has on those who remain behind. The authors’ “culture of migration” model adds an important new dimension to our understanding of the cultural beliefs and social patterns associated with migration and will help specialists better respond to increasing human mobility.

In the midst of global recession, angry citizens and media pundits often offer simplistic theories about how bad decisions lead to crises. Many economists, however, base their analyses on rational choice theory, which assumes that decisions are made by wellinformed, intelligent people who weigh risks, costs, and benefits. Taking a more realistic approach, the field of anthropology carefully looks at the underlying causes of choices at different times and places. Using case studies of choices by farmers, artisans, and bureaucrats drawn from Michael Chibnik’s research in Mexico, Peru, Belize, and the United States, Anthropology, Economics, and Choice presents a clear-eyed perspective on human actions and their economic consequences. Five key issues are explored in-depth: choices between paid and unpaid work; ways people deal with risk and uncertainty; how individuals decide whether to cooperate; the extent to which households can be regarded as decision-making units; and the “tragedy of the commons,” the theory that social chaos may result from unrestricted access to commonly owned property. Both an accessible primer and an innovative exploration of economic anthropology, this interdisciplinary work brings fresh insight to a timely topic.

This groundbreaking study of gestational imagery on ancient Olmec monuments and objects brings to light Mesoamerica’s earliest creation narrative and traces its evolution into one of the enduring themes of Mesoamerican ritual life and art

Reconsidering Olmec Visual Culture The Unborn, Women, and Creation B y C a r o ly n E . Tat e Recently, scholars of Olmec visual culture have identified symbols for umbilical cords, bundles, and cave-wombs, as well as a significant number of women portrayed on monuments and as figurines. In this groundbreaking study, Carolyn Tate demonstrates that these subjects were part of a major emphasis on gestational imagery in Formative Period Mesoamerica. In Reconsidering Olmec Visual Culture, she identifies the presence of women, human embryos, and fetuses in monuments and portable objects dating from 1400 to 400 BC and originating throughout much of Mesoamerica. This highly original study sheds new light on the prominent roles that women and gestational beings played in Early Formative societies, revealing female shamanic practices, the generative concepts that motivated caching and bundling, and the expression of feminine knowledge in the 260-day cycle and related divinatory and ritual activities. Reconsidering Olmec Visual Culture is the first study that situates the unique hollow babies of Formative Mesoamerica within the context of prominent females and the prevalent imagery of gestation and birth. It is also the first major art historical study of La Venta and the first to identify Mesoamerica’s earliest creation narrative. It provides a more nuanced understanding of how later societies either rejected certain Formative Period visual forms, rituals, social roles, and concepts or adopted and transformed them into the enduring themes of Mesoamerican symbol systems.

Folio 46r from Codex Telleriano-Remensis was created in the sixteenth century under the supervision of Spanish missionaries in central Mexico. As an artifact of seismic cultural and political shifts, the manuscript painting is a singular document of indigenous response to Spanish conquest. Examining the ways in which the folio’s tlacuilo (indigenous painter/writer) creates a pictorial vocabulary, this book embraces the place “outside” history from which this rich document emerged. Applying contemporary intellectual perspectives, including aspects of gender, modernity, nation, and visual representation itself, José Rabasa reveals new perspectives on colonial order. Folio 46r becomes a metaphor for reading the totality of the codex and for reflecting on the postcolonial theoretical issues now brought to bear on the past. Ambitious and innovative, Tell Me the Story of How I Conquered You embraces the performative force of the native scribe while acknowledging the ineffable traits of 46r—traits that remain untenably foreign to the modern excavator/scholar. Posing provocative questions about the unspoken dialogues between evangelizing friars and their spiritual conquests, this book offers a theoretic-political experiment on the possibility of learning from the tlacuilo ways of seeing the world that dislocate the predominance of the West.

Archaeology, Latin American Studies, Colonial History

This fascinating, deeply human narrative of colonialism and capitalism captures the history of a New World winery in the desert mountains of southern Peru

Vintage Moquegua

History, Wine, and Archaeology on a Colonial Peruvian Periphery By Prudence M. Rice The microhistory of the wine industry in colonial Moquegua, Peru, during the colonial period stretches from the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries, yielding a wealth of information about a broad range of fields, including early modern industry and labor, viniculture practices, the cultural symbolism of alcohol consumption, and the social history of an indigenous population. Uniting these perspectives, Vintage Moquegua draws on a trove of field research from more than 130 wineries in the Moquegua Valley. As Prudence Rice walked the remnants of wine haciendas and interviewed Peruvians about preservation, she saw that numerous colonial structures were being razed for development, making her documentary work all the more crucial. Lying far from imperial centers in pre-Hispanic and colonial times, the area was a nearly forgotten administrative periphery on an agricultural frontier. Spain was unable to supply the Peruvian viceroyalty with sufficient wine for religious and secular purposes, leading colonists to import and plant grapevines. The viniculture that flourished produced millions of liters, most of it distilled into pisco brandy. Summarizing archaeological data and interpreting it through a variety of frameworks, the author has created a three-hundred-year story that speaks to a lost world and its inhabitants.

Huichol Indian yarn paintings are one of the world’s great indigenous arts, sold around the world and advertised as authentic records of dreams and visions of the shamans. Using glowing colored yarns, the Huichol Indians of Mexico paint the mystical symbols of their culture—the hallucinogenic peyote cactus, the blue deer-spirit who appears to the shamans as they croon their songs around the fire in all-night ceremonies deep in the Sierra Madre mountains, and the pilgrimages to sacred sites, high in the central Mexican desert of Wirikuta. Hope MacLean provides the first comprehensive study of Huichol yarn paintings, from their origins as sacred offerings to their transformation into commercial art. Drawing on twenty years of ethnographic fieldwork, she interviews Huichol artists who have innovated important themes and styles. She compares the artists’ views with those of art dealers and government officials to show how yarn painters respond to market influences while still keeping their religious beliefs. Most innovative is her exploration of what it means to say a tourist art is based on dreams and visions of the shamans. She explains what visionary experience means in Huichol culture and discusses the influence of the hallucinogenic peyote cactus on the Huichol’s remarkable use of color. She uncovers a deep structure of visionary experience, rooted in Huichol concepts of soul-energy, and shows how this remarkable conception may be linked to visionary experiences as described by other Uto-Aztecan and Meso-American cultures.

HO PE MA CLEAN Ottawa, Ontario, Canada MacLean is an anthropologist and fiber artist who currently teaches at the University of Ottawa. She has done ongoing fieldwork with Huichol artists and shamans since her first meeting with Guadalupe de la Cruz Ríos in 1988. She curated an exhibition of Huichol art at the Mississippi Textile Museum, and is the author of Yarn Paintings of the Huichol.

Sensational headlines have publicized the drug trafficking, brutal violence, and other organized crime elements associated with Central America’s mara gangs, but there have been few cleareyed analyses of the history, hierarchies, and future of the mara phenomenon. The first book to look specifically at the Central American gang problem by drawing on the perspectives of researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds, Maras: Gang Violence and Security in Central America provides much-needed insight. These essays trace the development of the gangs, from “Mara Salvatrucha” to “M-18,” in Los Angeles and their spread to El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua as the result of members’ deportation to Central America; there, they account for high homicide rates and threaten the democratic stability of the region. With expertise in areas ranging from political science to law enforcement and human rights, the contributors also explore the spread of mara violence in the United States. Their findings comprise a complete documentation that spans sexualized violence, case studies of individual gangs, economic factors, varied responses to gang violence, the use of intelligence gathering, the limits of state power, and the role of policy makers. Raising crucial questions for a wide readership, these essays are sure to spark productive international dialogues.

Literary Criticism, Latin American Literature, Cultural Studies

A compelling study of the writers who used the genre of crónica—combining literary aestheticism with journalistic form—to capture seismic political and sociological shifts in the 1920s and 1930s

Urban Chroniclers in Modern Latin America The Shared Intimacy of Everyday Life By Viviane Mahieux An unstructured genre that blends high aesthetic standards with nonfiction commentary, the journalistic crónica, or chronicle, has played a vital role in Latin American urban life since the nineteenth century. Drawing on extensive archival research, Viviane Mahieux delivers new testimony on how chroniclers engaged with modernity in Mexico City, Buenos Aires, and São Paulo during the 1920s and 1930s, a time when avant-garde movements transformed writers’ and readers’ conceptions of literature. Urban Chroniclers in Modern Latin America: The Shared Intimacy of Everyday Life examines the work of extraordinary raconteurs Salvador Novo, Cube Bonifant, Roberto Arlt, Alfonsina Storni, and Mário de Andrade, restoring the original newspaper contexts in which their articles first emerged. Each of these writers guided their readers through a constantly changing cityscape and advised them on matters of cultural taste, using their ties to journalism and their participation in urban practice to share accessible wisdom and establish their role as intellectual arbiters. The intimate ties they developed with their audience fostered a permeable concept of literature that would pave the way for overtly politically engaged chroniclers of the 1960s and 1970s. Providing comparative analysis as well as reflection on the evolution of this important genre, Urban Chroniclers in Modern Latin America is the first systematic study of the Latin American writers who forged a new reading public in the early twentieth century.

None has explored those conflicts and struggles in-depth through an individual woman’s life story. The Journey of a TzotzilMaya Woman of Chiapas, Mexico now offers that perspective in one woman’s own words. Anthropologist Christine Eber met “Antonia” in 1986 and has followed her life’s journey ever since. In this book, they recount Antonia’s life story and also reflect on challenges and rewards they have experienced in working together, offering insight into the role of friendship in anthropological research, as well as into the transnational movement of solidarity with the indigenous people of Chiapas that began with the Zapatista uprising. Antonia was born in 1962 in San Pedro Chenalhó, a Tzotzil-Maya township in highland Chiapas. Her story begins with memories of childhood and progresses to young adulthood, when Antonia began working with women in her community to form weaving cooperatives while also becoming involved in the Word of God, the progressive Catholic movement known elsewhere as Liberation Theology. In 1994, as a wife and mother of six children, she joined a support base for the Zapatista Army of National Liberation. Recounting her experiences in these three interwoven movements, Antonia offers a vivid and nuanced picture of working for social justice while trying to remain true to her people’s traditions.

Why are many readers drawn to stories that texture ethnic experiences and identities other than their own? How do authors such as Salman Rushdie and Maxine Hong Kingston, or filmmakers in Bollywood or Mexico City produce complex fiction that satisfies audiences worldwide? In Analyzing World Fiction, fifteen renowned luminaries use tools of narratology and insights from cognitive science and neurobiology to provide answers to these questions and more. With essays ranging from James Phelan’s “Voice, Politics, and Judgments in Their Eyes Were Watching God” and Hilary Dannenberg’s “Narrating Multiculturalism in British Media: Voice and Cultural Identity in Television” to Ellen McCracken’s exploration of paratextual strategies in Chicana literature, this expansive collection turns the tide on approaches to postcolonial and multicultural phenomena that tend to compress author and narrator, text and real life. Striving to celebrate the art of fiction, the voices in this anthology explore the “ingredients” that make for powerful, universally intriguing, deeply human story-weaving. Systematically synthesizing the tools of narrative theory along with findings from the brain sciences to analyze multicultural and postcolonial film, literature, and television, the contributors pioneer new techniques for appreciating all facets of the wonder of storytelling.

This volume in the Institute of Classical Archaeology’s series on rural settlements in the countryside (chora) of Metaponto presents the excavation of the Late Roman farmhouse at San Biagio. Located near the site of an earlier Greek sanctuary, this modest but well-appointed structure was an unexpected find from a period generally marked by large landholdings and monumental villas. Description of earlier periods of occupation (Neolithic and Greek) is followed by a detailed discussion of the farmhouse itself and its historical and socioeconomic context. The catalogs and analyses of finds include impressive deposits of coins from the late third and early fourth centuries AD. Use of virtual reality CAD software has yielded a deeper understanding of the architectural structure and its reconstruction. A remarkable feature is the small bath complex, with its examples of window glass. This study reveals the existence of a small but viable rural social and economic entity and alternative to the traditional image of crisis and decline during the Late Imperial period.

Rhetoric

Demosthenes, Speeches 1–17 T ra n s l at e d by J e r e m y T r e v e t t This is the fourteenth volume in the Oratory of Classical Greece. This series presents all of the surviving speeches from the late fifth and fourth centuries bc in new translations prepared by classical scholars who are at the forefront of the discipline. These translations are especially designed for the needs and interests of today’s undergraduates, Greekless scholars in other disciplines, and the general public. Classical oratory is an invaluable resource for the study of ancient Greek life and culture. The speeches offer evidence on Greek moral views, social and economic conditions, political and social ideology, law and legal procedure, and other aspects of Athenian culture that have recently been attracting particular interest: women and family life, slavery, and religion, to name just a few. This volume contains translations of all the surviving deliberative speeches of Demosthenes (plus two that are almost certainly not his, although they have been passed down as part of his corpus), as well as the text of a letter from Philip of Macedon to the Athenians. All of the speeches were purportedly written to be delivered to the Athenian assembly and are in fact almost the only examples in Attic oratory of the genre of deliberative oratory. In the Olynthiac and Philippic speeches, Demosthenes identifies the Macedonian king Philip as a major threat to Athens and urges direct action against him. The Philippic speeches later inspired the Roman orator Cicero in his own attacks against Mark Antony, and became one of Demosthenes’ claims to fame throughout history.

Colonialism and Christianity in Mandate Palestine

Jamal and Rania Daniel Series in Contemporary History, Politics, Culture, and Religion of the Levant

Drawing on a rich base of British archival materials, Arabic periodicals, and secondary sources, Colonialism and Christianity in Mandate Palestine brings to light the ways in which the British colonial state in Palestine exacerbated sectarianism. By transforming Muslim, Christian, and Jewish religious identities into legal categories, Laura Robson argues, the British ultimately marginalized Christian communities in Palestine. Robson explores the turning points that developed as a result of such policies, many of which led to permanent changes in the region’s political landscapes. Cases include the British refusal to support Arab Christian leadership within Greek-controlled Orthodox churches, attempts to avert involvement from French or Vatican-related groups by sidelining Latin and Eastern Rite Catholics, and interfering with Arab Christians’ efforts to cooperate with Muslims in objecting to Zionist expansion. Challenging the widespread but mistaken notion that violent sectarianism was endemic to Palestine, Colonialism and Christianity in Mandate Palestine shows that it was intentionally stoked in the wake of British rule beginning in 1917, with catastrophic effects well into the twentyfirst century.

Arab Nationalism and Liberal Education Since the American University of Beirut opened its doors in 1866, the campus has stood at the intersection of a rapidly changing American educational project for the Middle East and an ongoing student quest for Arab national identity and empowerment. Betty S. Anderson provides a unique and comprehensive analysis of how the school shifted from a missionary institution providing a curriculum in Arabic to one offering an English-language American liberal education extolling freedom of speech and analytical discovery. Anderson discusses how generations of students demanded that they be considered legitimate voices of authority over their own education; increasingly, these students sought to introduce into their classrooms the real-life political issues raging in the Arab world. The Darwin Affair of 1882, the introduction of coeducation in the 1920s, the Arab nationalist protests of the late 1940s and early 1950s, and the even larger protests of the 1970s all challenged the Americans and Arabs to fashion an educational program relevant to a student body constantly bombarded with political and social change. Anderson reveals that the two groups chose to develop a program that combined American goals for liberal education with an Arab student demand that the educational experience remain relevant to their lives outside the school’s walls. As a result, in eras of both cooperation and conflict, the American leaders and the students at the school have made this American institution of the Arab world and of Beirut.

The Concept of Evil in Early Iran

S. K. MENDOZA FORREST Danville, Kentucky Forrest is Assistant Professor of Religion at Centre College in Kentucky.

Early Iranians believed evil had to have a source outside of God, which led to the concept of an entity as powerful and utterly evil as God is potent and good. These two forces, good and evil, which have always vied for superiority, needed helpers in this struggle. According to the Zoroastrians, every entity had to take sides, from the cosmic level to the microcosmic self. One of the results of this battle was that certain humans were thought to side with evil. Who were these allies of that great Evil Spirit? Women were inordinately singled out. Male healers were forbidden to deal with female health disorders because of the fear of the polluting power of feminine blood. Female healers, midwives, and shamans were among those who were accused of collaborating with the Evil Spirit, because they healed women. Men who worked to prepare the dead were also suspected of secret evil. Evil even showed up as animals such as frogs, snakes, and bugs of all sorts, which scuttled to the command of their wicked masters. This first comprehensive study of the concept of evil in early Iran uncovers details of the Iranian struggle against witchcraft, sorcery, and other “evils,” beginning with their earliest texts.

E d i t e d by Ka r i n va n N i e u w k e r k From “green” pop and “clean” cinema to halal songs, Islamic soaps, Muslim rap, Islamist fantasy serials, and Suficized music, the performing arts have become popular and potent avenues for Islamic piety movements, politically engaged Islamists, Islamic states, and moderate believers to propagate their religio-ethical beliefs. Muslim Rap, Halal Soaps, and Revolutionary Theater is the first book that explores this vital intersection between artistic production and Islamic discourse in the Muslim world. The contributors to this volume investigate the historical and structural conditions that impede or facilitate the emergence of a “post-Islamist” cultural sphere. They discuss the development of religious sensibilities among audiences, which increasingly include the well-to-do and the educated young, as well as the emergence of a local and global religious market. At the heart of these essays is an examination of the intersection between cultural politics, performing art, and religion, addressing such questions as where, how, and why pop culture and performing arts have been turned into a religious mission, and whether it is possible to develop a new Islamic aesthetic that is balanced with religious sensibilities. As we read about young Muslims and their quest for a “cool Islam” in music, their struggle to quell their stigmatized status, or the collision of morals and the marketplace in the arts, a vivid, varied new perspective on Muslim culture emerges.

Lone Stars III

A Legacy of Texas Quilts, 1986–2011 B y K a r o l i n e Pat t e r s o n B r e s e n h a n and Nancy O’Bryant Puentes

Completing a landmark documentation of 175 years of Texas quilt history they began in Lone Stars I and II, Texas’s leading quilt experts present two hundred traditional and art quilts that represent “the best of the best” quilts being made in Texas today From frontier times in the Republic of Texas until today, Texans have been making gorgeous quilts. Karoline Patterson Bresenhan and Nancy O’Bryant Puentes documented the first 150 years of the state’s rich heritage of quilt art in Lone Stars: A Legacy of Texas Quilts, 1836–1936 and Lone Stars II: A Legacy of Texas Quilts, 1936– 1986. Now in Lone Stars III, they bring the Texas quilt story into the twenty-first century, presenting two hundred traditional and art quilts that represent “the best of the best” quilts created since 1986. The quilts in Lone Stars III display the explosion of creativity that has transformed quilting over the last quarter century. Some of the quilts tell stories, create landscapes, record events, and memorialize people. Others present abstract designs that celebrate form and color.

Mission: Impossible?, Kumiko Abe Frydell, 2008

Their makers have embraced machine quilting, as well as hand sewing, and they often embellish their quilts with buttons, beads, lace, ribbon, and even more exotic items. Each quilt is pictured in its entirely, and some entries also include photographs of quilt details. The accompanying text describes the quilt’s creation, its maker, and its physical details. With 16.3 million American quilters who spend $3.6 billion annually on their pastime, the quilting community has truly become a force to reckon with both artistically and socially. Lone Stars III is the perfect introduction to this world of creativity.

History

Illustrated with superb images by renowned Texas photographer Laurence Parent, this history of the Texas State Cemetery tells the story of Texas through the lives of notable Texans, from Stephen F. Austin to Barbara Jordan, who are buried in this hallowed ground

Texas State Cemetery By Jason Walker and Will Erwin, with Helen Thompson Ph otog raph s by L aurence Parent Epil og ue by Governor Rick Perry Those who fought great battles, negotiated historic treaties, and wrote the laws that brought Texas into being lie at rest in the Texas State Cemetery in Austin. So do a host of writers and educators, astronauts and athletes, Texas Rangers and elected officials. Even some rogues and scoundrels have a resting place at the State Cemetery. Texas is the only state with a cemetery dedicated to its heroes and public officials, and all of the State Cemeteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honored dead helped make Texas what it is today. This book tells the stories of the Texas State Cemetery and of many noteworthy Texans who are buried in its peaceful lawns and hillsides. It opens with a history of the Cemetery, which was established in 1851 upon the death of Edward Burleson, commander of troops at the Battle of San Jacinto and Vice President of the Republic of Texas. Subsequent chapters provide short biographies of notable Texans buried in the Cemetery from the following eras and groups: the Republic of Texas and the Civil War, public officials, cultural figures, educators, and Texas Rangers. Each chapter is introduced by a prominent person who will someday lie at rest in the Texas State Cemetery, and an epilogue by Governor Rick Perry concludes the text. Magnificent color photographs by Laurence Parent, as well as historical photographs, offer an evocative visual tour of the Texas State Cemetery and its monuments.

Memoir

Pioneering surgeon Dr. Denton Cooley recalls his extraordinary career and achievements, which include performing the first successful heart transplant in the United States and the first clinical implantation of a totally artificial heart in a human being

100,000 Hearts A Surgeon’s Memoir

B y D e n t o n A . C o o l e y, m . d .

DENTON A. COOLEY, M .D . Houston, Texas Dr. Cooley is a world-renowned surgeon and founder of the Texas Heart Institute. Distributed for the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin

rel ease dat e | ja nua ry 6 x 9 inches, 300 pages, 30 b&w photos

Pioneering surgeon Dr. Denton Cooley performed his first human heart transplant in 1968 and astounded the world in 1969 when he was the first surgeon to successfully implant a totally artificial heart in a human being. Over the course of his career, Cooley and his associates have performed thousands of open heart operations and have been forerunners in implementing new surgical procedures. Of all his achievements, however, Cooley is most proud of the Texas Heart Institute, which he founded in 1962 with a mission to use education, research, and improved patient care to decrease the devastating effects of cardiovascular disease. In his new memoir, 100,000 Hearts, Cooley tells about his childhood in Houston and his experiences as a basketball scholarship recipient at the University of Texas. After medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston and Johns Hopkins, Cooley served in the Army Medical Corps. While at Johns Hopkins, Cooley assisted in a groundbreaking operation to correct an infant’s congenital heart defect, which inspired him to specialize in heart surgery. Cooley’s detailed descriptions of what it was like to be in the operating room at crucial points in medical history offer a fascinating perspective on how far medical science has progressed in just a few decades. Dr. Denton Cooley and the Texas Heart Institute are responsible for much of that progress.

Criminal Justice, History

The shocking story of the black inmate who was acquitted after killing two high-ranking prison guards in a case that publicized the horrors of Texas’s “plantation-style” prison system

In April 1981, two white Texas prison officials died at the hands of a black inmate at the Ellis prison farm near Huntsville. Warden Wallace Pack and farm manager Billy Moore were the highestranking Texas prison officials ever to die in the line of duty. The warden was drowned face down in a ditch. The farm manager was shot once in the head with the warden’s gun. The man who admitted to killing them, a burglar and robber named Eroy Brown, surrendered meekly, claiming self-defense. In any other era of Texas prison history, Brown’s fate would have seemed certain: execution. But in 1980, federal judge William Wayne Justice had issued a sweeping civil rights ruling in which he found that prison officials had systematically and often brutally violated the rights of Texas inmates. In the light of that landmark prison civil rights case, Ruiz v. Estelle, Brown had a chance of being believed. The Trials of Eroy Brown, the first book devoted to Brown’s astonishing defense, is based on trial documents, exhibits, and journalistic accounts of Brown’s three trials, which ended in his acquittal. Michael Berryhill presents Brown’s story in his own words, set against the backdrop of the chilling plantation mentality of Texas prisons. Brown’s attorneys—Craig Washington, Bill Habern, and Tim Sloan—undertook heroic strategies to defend him, even when the state refused to pay their fees. The Trials of Eroy Brown tells a landmark story of prison civil rights and the collapse of Jim Crow justice in Texas. U 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 1 1

“If ever there was a dead man, it was Eroy Brown, a black convict who killed two white prison guards. The story of [Craig] Washington’s successful three-trial defense of Brown should be a book and a movie. This one is going to live as a Gettysburg in legal history.” — M o l ly I v i n s U 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 1 1

Native American Studies, Anthropology, Archaeology

Examining the complex interactions of numerous distinct groups of native peoples over a 400-year period, this book presents an entirely new archaeological conceptualization of Texas that links prehistory and history into a single continuum

Land of the Tejas

Native American Identity and Interaction in Texas, A.D. 1300 to 1700 By John Wesley Arnn iii Combining archaeological, historical, ethnographic, and environmental data, Land of the Tejas represents a sweeping, interdisciplinary look at Texas during the late prehistoric and early historic periods. Through this revolutionary approach, John Arnn reconstructs Native identity and social structures among both mobile foragers and sedentary agriculturalists. Providing a new methodology for studying such populations, Arnn describes a complex, vast, exotic region marked by sociocultural and geographical complexity, tracing numerous distinct peoples over multiple centuries. Drawing heavily on a detailed analysis of Toyah (a Late Prehistoric II material culture), as well as early European documentary records, an investigation of the regional environment, and comparisons of these data with similar regions around the world, Land of the Tejas examines a full scope of previously overlooked details. From the enigmatic Jumano Indian leader Juan Sabata to Spanish friar Casanas’s 1691 account of the vast Native American Tejas alliance, Arnn’s study shines new light on Texas’s poorly understood past and debunks long-held misconceptions of prehistory and history while proposing a provocative new approach to the process by which we attempt to reconstruct the history of humanity.

JOHN Wesley ARNN i i i Austin, Texas Arnn holds a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Kentucky. He has conducted numerous archaeological investigations in North America, South America, and Central America.

In the tumultuous years following the Civil War, violence and lawlessness plagued the state of Texas, often overwhelming the ability of local law enforcement to maintain order. In response, Reconstruction-era governor Edmund J. Davis created a statewide police force that could be mobilized whenever and wherever local authorities were unable or unwilling to control lawlessness. During its three years (1870–1873) of existence, however, the Texas State Police was reviled as an arm of the Radical Republican party and widely condemned for being oppressive, arrogant, staffed with criminals and African Americans, and expensive to maintain, as well as for enforcing the new and unpopular laws that protected the rights of freed slaves. Drawing extensively on the wealth of previously untouched records in the Texas State Archives, as well as other contemporary sources, Barry A. Crouch and Donaly E. Brice here offer the first major objective assessment of the Texas State Police and its role in maintaining law and order in Reconstruction Texas. Examining the activities of the force throughout its tenure and across the state, the authors find that the Texas State Police actually did much to solve the problem of violence in a largely lawless state. While acknowledging that much of the criticism the agency received was merited, the authors make a convincing case that the state police performed many of the same duties that the Texas Rangers later assumed and fulfilled the same need for a mobile, statewide law enforcement agency.

Studies in Latin American Popular Culture

Studies in Latin American Popular Culture, an annual interdisciplinary journal, publishes articles, review essays, and interviews on diverse aspects of popular culture in Latin America. Since its inception in 1982, the journal has defined popular culture broadly as “some aspect of culture which is accepted by or consumed by significant numbers of people.” This definition has had one caveat: it does not normally include what is frequently called folk culture or folklore.
