With images ranging from street photography in Harlem to a commemoration of the 1963 Birmingham church bombing, this volume offers a forty-year career retrospective of the award-winning photographer Dawoud Bey

Dawoud Bey Seeing Deeply

Recipient .of .a .2017 .M acArthur .Foundation .“genius .grant,” . Dawoud Bey has created a body of photography that masterfully portrays the contemporary American experience on its own terms and in all of its diversity. Dawoud Bey: Seeing Deeply offers a forty-year retrospective of the celebrated photographer’s work, from his early street photography in Harlem to his current images of Harlem gentrification. Photographs from all of Bey’s major projects are presented in chronological sequence, allowing viewers to see how the collective body of portraits and recent landscapes create an unparalleled historical representation of various communities in the United States. Leading curators, critics, and scholars—Sarah Lewis, Deborah Willis, David Travis, Hilton Als, Jacqueline Terrassa, Rebecca Walker, Maurice Berger, and Leigh Raiford—introduce each series of images. Revealing Bey as the natural heir of such renowned photographers as Roy DeCarava, Walker Evans, Gordon Parks, and James Van Der Zee, Dawoud Bey: Seeing Deeply demonstrates how one man’s search for community can produce a stunning portrait of our common humanity.

“This is a magnificent achievement. Dawoud Bey is a modern master.” — H e n r y l o U i s g at e s , J r .

“Dawoud Bey: Seeing Deeply is a timeless masterpiece for the ages. With its sincerity, concern, and attention to communities and lives lost, displaced, or erased, it is a documentary record for US history. I’ve never seen a book of this depth and magnitude about the intentions and thoughts of an artist’s own life and work.” — L a T o y a Ru b y F r a z i e r

“This book is a gold mine . . . a gift of a well-measured life. Throughout these pages, Bey graciously allows us to walk through his mind as he tussles with one of the great questions in photography: how best to describe a people at a particular historical moment? As both participant and observer, he delivers the answers!” — C a r r i e M a e W e e m s 8

In . a . career . spanning . more . than . twenty . years, . Jessica . Hopper has earned acclaim as a provocative, fearless writer on topics ranging from the male myopia of emo music to R. Kelly’s sordid past. Now the feminist critic takes us behind the page, transporting us to a chapter of her own life when she thrived in Chicago’s DIY underground. Written as a series of taut, mesmerizing, often hilarious scenes, Night Moves captures the fierce friendships and small moments that form us all. Drawing on her personal journals, Hopper chronicles her time as a DJ, living in decrepit punk houses, biking to bad loft parties with her friends, exploring Chicago deep into the night. And, along the way, she creates an homage to vibrant corners of the city that have been muted by sleek development. A book birthed in the amber glow of Chicago streetlamps, Night Moves is about a unique sliver of time in cultural history—and how a raw, rebellious writer found her voice.

“Jessica Hopper’s Night Moves reads like a diary— immediate and urgent. Hopper and her friends prowl the streets of Chicago on bicycles, always moving, surrounded by both the city and a cocoon of occupied affection. It’s full of music and pets and friendship and made me feel as if the heating bills in Chicago would be worth it, if one could have this sort of busy, free life. The book exists in that space between fact and fiction, between novel and memoir—but I knew right away that e M M a s t raU b every word was true.” best-selling author of Modern Lovers

From the book March 31, 2004 Banging like g. gordon Liddy JR spent his thirtieth birthday with me this week, despite the fact that he works SEVEN DAYS A WEEK (you wanna see shitty job market, whiny freelancer? Come to Chicago and see all the best writers I know restocking hangers in the Juniors Department at H&M, tooth-and-nailing for a way out—no shit) and currently spends his evenings reading Moby Dick. He hung out, let me steal his cigarettes and gossip about my dumb life, and said, “You know, when NASA wants to send something to Mars, they have to shoot it around the moon. Right now, you’re sling-shotting around the moon.” And then took a drag of his Marb lite and flipped to ESPN2 for highlights.

May 05, 2005 BACK TO THE BOOGIE I could write about Los Angeles. I could tell you about the desert at night. I could tell you what it is like to hang out with people whom you thought for years you would see next at their funeral. But it’s a story for another time. I have been back in the Chi-Boogie since 1 a.m. Wednesday, and I have already taken a vow not to leave the Central Time Zone again for weeks, in trembling ode to—or rather, out of commitment to—Chicago and the Midwestern states, so sturdy and dirty and loving you back. The big lilac bushes in front of the house are blooming, almost obscuring all the supermarket circulars and take-out menus and metallic chip bags stuck in their branchy bottoms. The yard is a fantasia of schoolkid trash and perennials and weeds, with four shitty, rusted-up, and basketed Schwinns chained to the stoop as sentries. I love Chicago as is, burnished perfect from years of disrepair. It makes me want to press my face to the rails of the Green Line L tracks and pledge allegiance to the long concrete meadows of Lake Street.

“A vivid collection of snapshots. Hopper takes us along on every steamy summer bike ride, to every jukebox and rock show and dive bar in her wild, sweet young life.” —Lizzy Goodman author of Meet Me in the Bathroom: Rebirth and Rock and Roll in New York City 2001–2011

“In Night Moves, Jessica Hopper opens the window to a past that might have been my past, or your past, or the past of someone you know. It is a book of poems, it is a memoir, it is a living journal, all at once. This is the best writing—personal, but with two arms held wide open to invite you in. Night Moves is a book teeming with generosity. It gives and gives and asks only for an eager imagination in return.” — H a n i f A b d u r raq i b author of They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us

“Beautiful, impressionistic dispatches from a Chicago that no longer exists… Hopper is a significant American cultural voice.” —Bob Mehr author of the New York Times bestseller Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements

With .a n .iconic .s ound .t hat .t ranscends .c ountry, .p op, .rock, . and blues, Rosanne Cash’s voice and vision have captured American life for generations of fans. Over the same time span, internationally acclaimed artist Dan Rizzie has wowed collectors with his evocative paintings, prints, and collages. Now, in a book that is as unique as their artistry, Cash and her longtime friend Rizzie have teamed up to create an extraordinary hybrid. Blending images created by Rizzie with strands of lyrics from a variety of Cash’s songs (including new material from her latest album, She Remembers Everything, as well as her beloved classics), Bird on a Blade is a mosaic designed to inspire the imagination and soothe the heart. Oscillating between periods of growth and times of darkness, Bird on a Blade reflects on life’s mysteries. Powerful lines from songs such as “God Is in the Roses” from the 2006 album Black Cadillac evoke themes of mourning, alongside meditations on solitude. By turns, a verse of “Fire of the Newly Alive” from the 1993 album The Wheel celebrates passion and renewal. Working together, Cash and Rizzie selected some of his most vibrant paintings, collages, and drawings to complement the words, using geometric patterns, ornaments, and lush glimpses of nature, including Rizzie’s signature bird imagery. The work of a harmonious duet, the fifty pairings in Cash and Rizzie’s Bird on a Blade exude inspiration from cover to cover.

Beyoncé in Formation Remixing Black Feminism

by oMise’eke nata sHa t insle y

oM ise ’ e k e n atasH a tins le y Austin, .Te x a s Tinsley is an associate professor of African and African Diaspora Studies and Associate Director of the Center for Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, where she teaches the popular course Beyoncé Feminism, Rihanna Womanism.

Making .headlines .when .it .was .launched .in .2015, .Omise’eke . Natasha Tinsley’s undergraduate course “Beyoncé Feminism, Rihanna Womanism” has inspired students from all walks of life. In Beyoncé in Formation, Tinsley now takes her rich observations beyond the classroom, using the blockbuster album and video Lemonade as a soundtrack for vital next-millennium narratives. Woven with candid observations about her life as a feminist scholar of African studies and a cisgender femme married to a trans spouse, Tinsley’s “Femme-onade” mixtape explores myriad facets of black women’s sexuality and gender. Turning to Beyoncé’s “Don’t Hurt Yourself,” Tinsley assesses black feminist critiques of marriage and then considers the models of motherhood offered in “Daddy Lessons,” interspersing these passages with memories from Tinsley’s multiracial family history. Her chapters on nontraditional bonds culminate in a discussion of contemporary LGBT politics through the lens of the internet-breaking video “Formation,” underscoring why Beyoncé’s black femme-inism isn’t only for ciswomen. From pleasure politics and the struggle for black women’s reproductive justice to the subtext of blues and country music traditions, the landscape in this tour is populated by activists and artists (including Loretta Lynn) and infused with vibrant interpretations of Queen Bey’s provocative, peerless imagery and lyrics. In the tradition of Roxanne Gay’s Bad Feminist and Jill Lepore’s bestselling cultural histories, Beyoncé in Formation is the work of a daring intellectual who is poised to spark a new conversation about freedom and identity in America.

From the book In the last seven years I’ve pushed myself out of my comfort zone in ways I never imagined: out of my relationship comfort zone by getting married, out of my geographic comfort zone by moving to Texas, out of my professional comfort zone by teaching and writing as a Beyoncé femme-inist. So here’s my invitation to you as you read this: step out of your comfort zone, too. Experiment with a way to remix your tried-and-true readerly practices. Sing the lyrics as you read them, try on a new shade of lipstick that matches the text (especially you, gentlemen), call your mother to ask a question about your grandparents, look up a reference that makes no sense to you, put aside your judgment about what counts as “serious,” start a new hashtag, take this book to a protest, let your lover give you a foot rub while you thumb chapter three. Why not? For the space of these pages, enter into the world of a Texas Bama femme: someone who lives between very real places in the South and the boundless territory of the black feminist imagination, someone who performs her womanness very diligently and very irreverently, someone whose life is nothing like Beyoncé’s and everything like her complicated fantasy of blackness, womanness, and desire.

When .Stoner .was .published .in .1965, .the .novel .sold .only .a . couple of thousand copies before disappearing with hardly a trace. Yet John Williams’s quietly powerful tale of a Midwestern college professor, William Stoner, whose life becomes a parable of solitude and anguish eventually found an admiring audience in America and especially in Europe. The New York Times called Stoner “a perfect novel,” and a host of writers and critics, including Colum McCann, Julian Barnes, Bret Easton Ellis, Ian McEwan, Emma Straub, Ruth Rendell, C. P. Snow, and Irving Howe, praised its artistry. The New Yorker deemed it “a masterly portrait of a truly virtuous and dedicated man.” The Man Who Wrote the Perfect Novel traces the life of Stoner’s author, John Williams. Acclaimed biographer Charles J. Shields follows the whole arc of Williams’s life, which in many ways paralleled that of his titular character, from their shared working-class backgrounds to their undistinguished careers in the halls of academia. Shields masterfully recounts Williams’s development as an author, whose other works include the novels Butcher’s Crossing and Augustus (for the latter, Williams shared the 1972 National Book Award). Shields also reveals the astonishing afterlife of Stoner, which garnered new fans with each American reissue, and then became a bestseller all over Europe after Dutch publisher Lebowski brought out a translation in 2013. Since then, Stoner has been published in twenty-one countries and has sold over a million copies. 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 8

John Williams in the mid-1950s.

“The Man Who Wrote the Perfect Novel is an expert uncovering of an American master who deserves the larger audience this biography will help give him. With his characteristic insight into the ligatures between life and art, and in his own enviable prose, Shields brings Williams into full-color relief. This is a major accomplishment by a major biographer, a gift for which Williams’s admirers will be most grateful.” — W i l l i a m G i ra l d i author of Hold the Dark and The Hero’s Body

“A masterful depiction of the generation of burnt-out alcoholic American writers who survived WWII. Shields comes about as close as humanly possible to recreating the crucible of chance, devotion, genius, and circumstance that produced ‘the greatest novel you have never read.’ His brisk, fluent biography will change this.” J .

Acclaimed .by .critics .as .a .second .F . .Scott .Fitzgerald, .Billy Lee Brammer was once one of the most engaging young novelists in America. “Brammer’s is a new and major talent, big in scope, big in its promise of even better things to come,” wrote A. C. Spectorsky, a former staffer at the New Yorker. When he published his first and only novel, The Gay Place, in 1961, literary luminaries such as David Halberstam, Willie Morris, and Gore Vidal hailed his debut. Morris deemed it “the best novel about American politics in our time.” Halberstam called it “a classic . . . [a] stunning, original, intensely human novel inspired by Lyndon Johnson. . . . It will be read a hundred years from now.” More recently, James Fallows, Gary Fisketjon, and Christopher Lehmann have affirmed The Gay Place’s continuing relevance, with Lehmann asserting that it is “the one truly great modern American political novel.” Leaving the Gay Place tells a sweeping story of American popular culture and politics through the life and work of a writer who tragically exemplifies the highs and lows of the country at mid-century. Tracy Daugherty follows Brammer from the halls of power in Washington, DC, where he worked for Senate majority leader Johnson, to rock-and-roll venues where he tripped out with Janis Joplin, and ultimately to back alleys of self-indulgence and self-destruction. Constantly driven to experiment with new ways of being and creating— often fueled by psychedelics—Brammer became a cult figure for an America on the cusp of monumental change, as the counterculture percolated through the Eisenhower years and burst out in the sixties. In Daugherty’s masterful recounting, Brammer’s story is a quintessential American story, and Billy Lee is our wayward American son. 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 8

The Last Love Song: A Biography of Joan Didion

“It is rare to find a biographer so temperamentally, intellectually, and even stylistically matched with his subject as Tracy Daugherty, author of well-received biographies of Donald Barthelme and Joseph Heller, is matched with Joan Didion. . . . We feel that we are reading about Didion in precisely Didion’s terms . . . It is warmly generous, laced with the ironic humor Didion — J o y C e C a r o l o at e s and Dunne famously cultivated.”

New York Review of Books

“Tracy Daugherty gives us a meticulously researched biography of Didion that functions as both an exploration of late 20th-century American cultural values, as well as an incredible insight into the life of an extremely talented woman of letters.” — J . P. o ’ M a l l e y

Showcasing a century of iconic movie posters by the medium’s top designers, this lavishly illustrated book charts the international history of the poster and how it has lured audiences to cinemas across the globe

Selling the Movie

The Art of the Film Poster b y i a n H ay d n sMi t H As .long .as .there .have .been .movies, .there .have .been .posters . selling films to audiences. Posters came into existence just decades before the inception of film, and as movies became a universal medium of entertainment, posters likewise became a ubiquitous form of advertising. At first, movie posters suggested a film’s theme, from adventure and romance to thrills and spine-tingling horror. Then, with the ascendancy of the film star, posters began to sell icons and lifestyles, nowhere more so than in Hollywood. But every country producing films used posters to sell their product. Selling the Movie: The Art of the Film Poster charts the history of the movie poster from both a creative and a commercial perspective. It includes sections focusing on poster artists, the development of styles, the influence of politics and ideology, and how commerce played a role in the fi lm poster’s development. The book is richly illustrated with poster art from many countries and all eras of fi lmmaking. From creating the brand of Charlie Chaplin’s tramp and marketing the elusive mystique of Greta Garbo, to the history of the blockbuster, the changing nature of graphic design by the decade, and the role of the poster in the digital age, Selling the Movie is an entertaining and enthralling journey through cinema, art, and the business of attracting audiences to the box office.

Fiction in Translation

With nods to Miguel de Cervantes and Marcel Schwob, this award-winning novel by one of Latin America’s leading contemporary writers presents an allegorical noir history of Mexico’s vision of the United States

The Enlightened Army b y dav id t o s C a n a Tr a nsl ated by Dav id Willi a m Foster Ignacio .Matus .is .a .public .school .history .teacher .in .Monterrey, Mexico, who gets fired because of his patriotic rantings about Mexico’s repeated humiliations by the United States. Not only did Mexico’s northern neighbor steal a large swath of the country in the Mexican-American War, according to Matus, it also denied him Olympic glory. Excluded from the 1924 Olympics, Matus ran his own parallel marathon and beat the time of the American who officially won the bronze medal. After spending decades attempting to vindicate his supposed triumph and claim the medal, an even bigger vindication beckons Matus—he will reconquer Texas for Mexico! Recruiting an army of intellectually disabled children (“los iluminados,” the enlightened ones), Matus sets off on a quest as worthy of Don Quixote as it is doomed. David Toscana is one of Latin America’s leading contemporary writers, and his books have won several prestigious awards, including the Casa de las Américas Prize for The Enlightened Army. The novel’s treatment of the troubled relations between Mexico and the United States makes it highly topical at a time when immigration and border walls capture headlines, while its lyrical writing and humorous take on the absurdities of everyday life offer timeless pleasures.

dav id t os C a na Me x ico .a nd .Pol a nd A native of Mexico, Toscana is the author of several novels, three of which have been translated into English—Tula Station, Our Lady of the Circus, and The Last Reader. The Enlightened Army and The Last Reader were both shortlisted for Latin America’s most important literary award, the Rómulo Gallegos International Novel Prize. He received the 2017 Xavier Villaurrutia Award for Writers, one of the most distinguished literary prizes in Mexico, for his novel Olegaroy.

Photojournalism and Documentary, Latin American Anthropology

Reminiscent of the work of James Agee and Walker Evans, John Berger and Jean Mohr, this volume presents a searing photo documentary of life in a Brazilian village by the Vera List Prize winning artist and activist Maria Thereza Alves

Recipes for Survival b y M a r i a t H e r e z a a lv e s For e wor d by Mich a el Taussig

Maria t H ereza alv e s Ber lin, .Ger m a n y Alves is a Brazilian-born artist descended from the country’s indigenous, African, and European peoples. She is best known for her award-winning work Seeds of Change (2004–2018), which links ecology and colonial history. One of the founders of Brazil’s Green Party in São Paulo, Alves received the 2016–2018 Vera List Center Prize for Art and Politics, awarded to artists who take great risks to advance social justice in profound and visionary ways.

rel ease dat e | no ve m b e r 9 x 10 inches, 256 pages, 75 duotone photos

In .1983, .when .acclaimed .Brazilian .artist .Maria .Thereza . Alves was an art student at Cooper Union in the United States, she returned to her native country to document the backlands of Brazil, where her family is from. Working with the local people in a collaborative process that has become the hallmark of her mature work, Alves photographed their daily lives and interviewed them to gather the facts that they wanted the world to know about them. Unlike documentation created by outsiders, which tends to objectify Brazil’s indigenous and rural people, Alves’s work presents her subjects as active agents who are critically engaged with history. Recipes for Survival opens with evocative, caption-less blackand-white photographs, most of them portraits that compel viewers to acknowledge the humanity of people without reducing them to types or labels. Following the images are texts in which the villagers matter-of-factly describe the grinding poverty and despair that is their everyday life—incessant labor for paltry wages, relations between men and women that often devolve into abuse, and the hopelessness of being always at the mercy of uncontrollable outside forces, from crop-destroying weather to exploitative employers and government officials. Though not overtly political, the book powerfully reveals how the Brazilian state shapes the lives of its most vulnerable citizens. Giving a voice to those who have been silenced, Recipes for Survival is, in Alves’s words, “about we who are the nonhistory of Brazil.”

“Was there ever a book like this that says so much about the world in so few words? It is almost frightening, this shock treatment. . . . Dostoyevsky comes to mind—the grain and the pathos—as does Primo Levi’s account of Auschwitz; James Agee and Walker Evans’s classic, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men; and John Berger’s work with photographer Jean Mohr. . . . But above all, it is the integrity created by the flicker of life in the almighty darkness where art and documentary coalesce.

“These photographs are extraordinary. They trace a direct connection with Alves’s subjects that is rare and impossible to fake.

“This is a very powerful and beautiful depiction of life under the weight of poverty and histories of slavery, colonialism, and exploitation capitalism in Brazil. It is profoundly moving.”

Now available in English, this internationally acclaimed graphic novel biography of iconic artist Frida Kahlo recounts her life’s journey in a first-person story illustrated with striking reimaginings of her famous paintings

Frida Kahlo

An Illustrated Life by MarÍa Hesse Tr a nsl at ed by Ach y Obe ja s One .of .the .most .important .artists .of .the .twentieth .century and an icon of courageous womanhood, Frida Kahlo lives on in the public imagination, where her popularity shows no signs of waning. She is renowned for both her paintings and her personal story, which were equally filled with pain and anguish, celebration and life. Thousands of words, including her own, have been written about Kahlo, but only one previous biography has recorded her fascinating, difficult life. Frida Kahlo by María Hesse offers a highly unique way of getting to know the artist by presenting her life in graphic novel form, with striking illustrations that reimagine many of Kahlo’s famous paintings. Originally published in Spanish in 2016, Frida Kahlo has already found an enthusiastic audience in the Spanish-speaking world, with some 20,000 copies sold in just a few months. This translation introduces English-language readers to Kahlo’s life, from her childhood and the traumatic accident that would change her life and her artwork to her complicated love for Diego Rivera and the fierce determination that drove her to become a major artist in her own right. María Hesse tells the story in a first-person narrative, which captures both the depths of Frida’s suffering and her passion for art and life.

This extensively illustrated, bilingual English-Portuguese volume traces the physical development of Brazil’s largest city and presents a blueprint for transforming its aging industrial areas into mixed-use affordable housing districts

A Graphic Biography

Uma Biiografia Gráfica

São Paulo

A Graphic Biography by feliPe Correa While .the .history .of .São .Paulo .dates .back .more .than .450 . years, most of its growth took place after World War II as the city’s major economic engine shifted from agriculture to industry. Today, as São Paulo evolves into a service economy hub, Felipe Correa argues, the city must carefully examine how to better integrate its extensive inner city post-industrial land into contemporary urban uses. In São Paulo: A Graphic Biography, Correa presents a comprehensive portrait of Brazil’s largest city, narrating its fast-paced growth through archival material, photography, original drawings, and text. Additional essays from scholars in fields such as landscape architecture, ecology, governance, and public health offer a series of interdisciplinary perspectives on the city’s history and development. Beyond presenting the first history of Paulista urban form and carefully detailing the formative processes that gave shape to this manufacturing capital, São Paulo shows how the city can transform its post-industrial lands into a series of inner city mixed-use affordable housing districts. By reorienting how we think about these spaces, the volume offers a compelling vision of a much-needed urban restructuring that can help alleviate the extreme socioeconomic divide between city center and periphery. This twenty-first century urban blueprint thus constitutes an impressive work of research and presents a unique perspective on how cities can imagine their future.

The Book of Merlyn

The Conclusion to The Once and Future King b y t. H . W H i t e For e wor d by Gr eg ory M agu ir e Prol ogu e by S y lv i a Tow nsen d Wa r n er Il lust r at ions by Tr e vor St u bl e y This . magical . account . of . King . Arthur’s . last . night . on . earth, rediscovered in a collection of T. H. White’s papers at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin, spent twenty-six weeks on the New York Times bestseller list following its publication in 1977. While preparing for his final, fatal battle with his bastard son, Mordred, Arthur returns to the Animal Council with Merlyn, where the deliberations center on ways to abolish war. More self-revealing than any other of White’s books, Merlyn shows his mind at work as he agonized over whether to join the fight against Nazi Germany while penning the epic that would become The Once and Future King. The Book of Merlyn has been cited as a major influence by such illustrious writers as Kazuo Ishiguro, J. K. Rowling, Helen Macdonald, Neil Gaiman, and Lev Grossman.

Fiction

Gregory Maguire fro m t he fo r e wo rd:

It was well after the publication of my own novel, Wicked, that someone pointed out to me (I think it was my mother) how much I had learned from White’s Arthurian cycle. As soon as she said so, I smacked my forehead with the heel of my hand. Of course. I had emulated White’s temerity in taking a well-known story—in my instance, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz—and I had dared to try to tell it again for a new generation, as if it had never been told before.

“Such a small thing, The Book of Merlyn, to hold so much. Joyful and despairing, heartbreaking, yet full of hope. As wonderful and fearful to read today as it was when I first found it in 1978. And the world has as much need of it today as it did then—more, perhaps. But will the world be ready to listen?”

Dubbed .a .“poet .of .the .ordinary” .by .the .Los Angeles Times, . photographer Keith Carter came of age during the turbulent ’60s and ’70s, developing a singular, haunting style that captures both the grit and the glory of the human spirit. Showcasing a broad array of his work—which has been shown in more than one hundred solo exhibitions in thirteen countries—Keith Carter: Fifty Years spans delicate, century-old processes as well as digital-age techniques to yield an enduring vision of the world around us. The interlaced images in Keith Carter: Fifty Years feature contrasts of natural light and darkness as we explore country roads and watering holes, woodlands and neighborhoods, and the varied creatures that inhabit them. The human form—depleted or energized, solitary or with a beloved partner—becomes a meditation on aging and loss, which have affected Carter profoundly in recent years. He lost most of the sight in his left eye after treatment for ocular melanoma. His mother succumbed to Alzheimer’s, and his wife of almost forty years lost her life. Yet these losses have spurred in him a sense of discovery, not despair. Rather than arranging the works chronologically, Carter chose to group them by correlations, echoing the kaleidoscopic effect of memory. The result is mesmerizing: each artifact draws us into an experience of intensity and wonder, enduring long after the page is turned.

In this engrossing conclusion to The Devil’s Backbone and The Devil’s Sinkhole, the young man Papa and his cowboy amigo Calley Pearsall encounter relentless enemies and supernatural helpers as their escapades drive them toward the Devil’s Fork

The Devil’s Fork by bill Wit tliff Il lust r at ed by Edwa r d Ca r e y The Devil’s Fork . opens . with . the . boy . Papa . exclaiming, . “They was gonna hang my o’Amigo Calley Pearsall out there in front a’the Alamo down in San Antoneya come Saturday Noon and if I was gonna stop it I better Light a Shuck and Get on with it. And I mean Right Now.” And so Papa and his sweetheart Annie Oster set off to rescue Calley, thereby launching themselves into another series of hair-raising adventures. The Devil’s Fork concludes the enthralling journey through wild and woolly Central Texas in the 1880s that began in The Devil’s Backbone and The Devil’s Sinkhole. Papa springs Calley from jail, but their troubles are far from over. Framed for murder, the two amigos have to flee for their lives. Joining their flight this time is o’Johnny, the evil Sheriff Pugh’s disabled little brother, who has uncanny abilities. Escaping danger for a while, Papa and Calley try to start a new life as horse traders, only to find themselves branded as horse thieves when o’Johnny and a mysterious white ghost horse begin rescuing abused horses from their masters. Can Papa and Calley escape the noose and save all the horses that Johnny and the White Horse liberate? Or will their own hot tempers send them down the Devil’s Fork, from which no one ever returns? Proving himself a master storyteller once again, Bill Wittliff spins a yarn as engrossing as the stories his own Papa told him long ago, stories that inspired The Devil’s Backbone, The Devil’s Sinkhole, and The Devil’s Fork.

“A ribald, streetwise, outrageously inventive speculative fiction that hammers at the chaos and dysfunction of Egyptian life while testifying to the —Wall street JoUrnal vitality of its counterculture.” “Naji, alongside Mohammad Rabie, Basma Abdel Aziz, and Nael Eltoukhy, is part of a young school of post-revolutionary literature in Egypt, a generation that has embraced the nightmare of history with grim cynicism. . . . Underlying Naji’s genre-defying fantasy is a jeu d’esprit about life in modern Cairo. . . . [the novel] expresses a generation’s spirit of rebellion and iconoclasm.” — t i M e s l i t e r a r y s U P P l e M e n t “Alan Moore meets Nahgib Mafouz in this exuberant, subversive novel by Egyptian writer Naji . . . the rebellion that bursts forth from this book, parts of which are told in graphic form, lies in its subtle pokes at pious Islam, its marveling at the hidden powers of generations of suppressed Egyptian women, and its sometimes-cynical view of an ancient nation trying to remake itself. . . . A fly-on-the-wall view of an Egypt few outsiders know and one that, in its insistence on unveiled expression, offers hope for a more democratic future.” —kirkUs

“The book is an experiment, wild and weird, full of non sequiturs and oddball imagery. (The text is interspersed with surreal comics by Ayman Al Zorkany.)

“Dyer has cracked open a window on Winogrand that’s always been there but never been opened.” — J e f f r e y F r a e n k e l Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco

“Geoff Dyer has created a kind of Rosetta Stone, the key to deciphering Winogrand . . . how Winogrand becomes Winogrand. This book is a revelatory pleasure from beginning to end, a lesson in the pleasure of seeing. It is —Alex Harris a smart book, but it’s a wise book, too.”

Duke University, coeditor of Arrivals and Departures: The Airport Photographs of Garry Winogrand

“This handsome collection amounts to an extensive tour of Winogrand’s photographs conducted by a savvy, observant, and highly entertaining guide. No longer still, Winogrand’s images are animated here by the turns and jumps of Geoff Dyer’s lively commentary.” — B i l ly C o l l i n s former Poet Laureate of the United States

“I can’t think of any other book quite like this one: an entirely new, and quite unfamiliar, take on Winogrand and a welcome addition to the work on this iconic photographer. I found the book to be a terrifically good read, as well as a refreshing and innovative take on an artist whose work I thought I knew well.” —Corey Keller

One .of .the .country’s .most .picturesque .cities .and .conveniently located just a few hours’ drive from Hollywood, San Francisco became the most frequently and extensively filmed American city beyond the production hubs of Los Angeles and New York in the three decades after World War II. During those years, the cinematic image of the city morphed from the dreamy beauty of Vertigo to the nightmarish wasteland of Dirty Harry, although San Francisco itself experienced no such decline. This intriguing disconnect gives impetus to Hollywood in San Francisco, the most comprehensive study to date of Hollywood’s move from studio to location production in the postwar era. In this thirty-year history of feature filmmaking in San Francisco, Joshua Gleich tracks a sea change in Hollywood production practices, as location shooting overtook studio-based filming as the dominant production method by the early 1970s. He shows how this transformation intersected with a precipitous decline in public perceptions of the American city, to which filmmakers responded by developing a stark, realist aesthetic that suited America’s growing urban pessimism and superseded a fidelity to local realities. Analyzing major films set in San Francisco, ranging from Dark Passage and Vertigo to The Conversation, The Towering Inferno, and Bullitt, as well as the TV show The Streets of San Francisco, Gleich demonstrates that the city is a physical environment used to stage urban fantasies that reveal far more about Hollywood filmmaking and American culture than they do about San Francisco.

The .broadcasting .industry’s .trade .association, .the .National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), sought to sanitize television content via its self-regulatory document, the Television Code. The Code covered everything from the stories, images, and sounds of TV programs (no profanity, illicit sex and drinking, negative portrayals of family life and law enforcement officials, or irreverence for God and religion) to the allowable number of commercial minutes per hour of programming. It mandated that broadcasters make time for religious programming and discouraged them from charging for it. And it called for tasteful and accurate coverage of news, public events, and controversial issues. Using archival documents from the Federal Communications Commission, NBC, the NAB, and a television reformer, Senator William Benton, this book explores the run-up to the adoption of the 1952 Television Code from the perspectives of the government, TV viewers, local broadcasters, national networks, and the industry’s trade association. Deborah L. Jaramillo analyzes the competing motives and agendas of each of these groups as she builds a convincing case that the NAB actually developed the Television Code to protect commercial television from reformers who wanted more educational programming, as well as from advocates of subscription television, an alternative distribution model. By agreeing to selfcensor content that viewers, local stations, and politicians found objectionable, Jaramillo concludes, the NAB helped to ensure that commercial broadcast television would remain the dominant model for decades to come.

Comics

Challenging common critical practices and offering new interpretations of canonical texts by Marjane Satrapi, Alan Moore, Kyle Baker, Chris Ware, and others, this volume offers the first major critique of the field of comics studies

Breaking the Frames

Populism and Prestige in Comics Studies by MarC singer Comics .s tudies .h as .r eached .a .c rossroads . .Graphic .novels . have never received more attention and legitimation from scholars, but new canons and new critical discourses have created tensions within a field built on the populist rhetoric of cultural studies. As a result, comics studies has begun to cleave into distinct camps— based primarily in cultural or literary studies—that attempt to dictate the boundaries of the discipline or else resist disciplinarity itself. The consequence is a growing disconnect in the ways that comics scholars talk to each other—or, more frequently, do not talk to each other or even acknowledge each other’s work. Breaking the Frames: Populism and Prestige in Comics Studies surveys the current state of comics scholarship, interrogating its dominant schools, questioning their mutual estrangement, and challenging their propensity to champion the comics they study. Marc Singer advocates for greater disciplinary diversity and methodological rigor in comics studies, making the case for a field that can embrace more critical and oppositional perspectives. Working through extended readings of some of the most acclaimed comics creators—including Marjane Satrapi, Alan Moore, Kyle Baker, and Chris Ware—Singer demonstrates how comics studies can break out of the celebratory frameworks and restrictive canons that currently define the field to produce new scholarship that expands our understanding of comics and their critics.

The .Fetishists, .originally .published .in .Arabic .as .Al Majus, is considered the masterpiece of Ibrahim al-Koni, one of the most prolific and important writers in Arabic today. In The Fetishists, Al Koni explores what happens when a writer asks the novel to speak of and for the Saharan desert, when rival cultures clash, and when communities seek to build a utopia on Earth as individuals struggle between a desire for material well-being (represented by gold dust) and a need for spiritual meaning. As the story opens, Sultan Oragh of Timbuktu, who has already lost most of his power to Fetishist Bambara leaders of the forestlands, fears he will lose his only daughter, Tenere, as a human sacrifice to their god Amnay. The sultan sends Tenere to seek refuge with fellow Tuareg nomads in the plain. But even in their traditional, nomadic community, a competition rages between jihadi militant Islam; moderate Anhi Islam, which is the ancient Tuareg Law; and the cults of gold dust and of traditional African folk religions. In this epic novel of the Saharan desert, Al-Koni blends Tuareg folklore and history with intense, fond descriptions of daily life in the desert, creating a mirror for life anywhere. Through its tragic rendering of a clash between the Tuareg and traditional African civilizations, the novel profoundly probes the contradictions of the human soul as it takes the reader on a unique spiritual adventure inside the Tuareg world.

This vivid and lyrical collection introduces English-language readers for the first time to one of the most acclaimed Iranian poets of her generation

Poems by ROJA CHAMANKAR | Translated by Blake Atwood

Dying in a Mother Tongue by roJa CHaMankar Tr a nsl at ed by Bl a k e At wood This . collection . of . poetry . by . the . celebrated . southern . Iranian poet and filmmaker Roja Chamankar (b. 1981) introduces English-speaking readers to one of the most accomplished and wellloved poets of her generation. Chamankar’s work blends surrealism and the southern coastal landscape of the poet’s upbringing with everyday experiences in rapidly urbanizing Tehran. While locating herself in the modernist tradition of Iranian poets like Forugh Farrokhzad and Ahmad Shamlu through form and imagery, Chamankar infuses this tradition with concerns unique to a generation that grew up in post-revolutionary Iran and endured the effects of the Iran-Iraq war. Seascapes, love and eroticism, the disconnection of modern life, and myths and fairytales figure prominently in these vivid, lyrical poems. In the rich miniature worlds of Chamankar’s poetry, readers become privy to a range of experiences, from desire and pain to rage and humor. Sometimes abstract, other times surreal—Chamankar’s unique poetic voice, like the sea she returns to again and again, combines and sweeps these experiences to shore with assurance, strength, and beauty.

r oJa C H a Ma nka r Austin, .Te x a s Chamankar has published nine volumes of poetry in Persian, cowritten three books for children, and translated a collection of poems by Henri Meschonic from French into Persian. Her works have been translated into half a dozen languages, and she has won a number of national and international awards for her poetry, including the prestigious Nikos Gatsos Prize.

Islam, Gender and Sexuality

This inviting book presents a simplified version of Believing Women in Islam: Unreading Patriarchal Interpretations of the Qur’an that will help general readers and students understand its argument for women’s equality

Believing Women in Islam: A Brief Introduction b y a sM a ba r l a s a nd dav id r a eb U r n f inn Is . women’s . inequality . supported . by . the . Qur’an? . Do . men . have the exclusive right to interpret Islam’s holy scripture? In her best-selling book Believing Women in Islam: Unreading Patriarchal Interpretations of the Qur’an, Asma Barlas argues that, far from supporting male privilege, the Qur’an actually encourages the full equality of women and men. She explains why a handful of verses have been interpreted to favor men and shows how these same verses can be read in an egalitarian way that is fully supported by the text itself and compatible with the Qur’an’s message that it is complete and self-consistent. Believing Women in Islam: A Brief Introduction presents the arguments of Believing Women in a simplified way that will be accessible and inviting to general readers and undergraduate students. The authors focus primarily on the Qur’an’s teachings about women and patriarchy. They show how traditional teachings about women’s inferiority are not supported by the Qur’an but were products of patriarchal societies that used it to justify their existing religious and social structures. The authors’ hope is that by understanding how patriarchal traditionalists have come to exercise so much authority in today’s Islam, as well as by rereading some of the Qur’an’s most controversial verses, adherents of the faith will learn to question patriarchal dogma and see that an egalitarian reading of the Qur’an is equally possible and, for myriad reasons, more plausible.

The . Iranian . revolution . of . 1978–1979 . uprooted . and . globally dispersed an enormous number of Iranians from all walks of life. Bitter political relations between Iran and the West have since caused those immigrants to be stigmatized, marginalized, and politicized, which, in turn, has discredited and distorted Iranian migrants’ social identity; subjected them to various subtle and overt forms of prejudice, discrimination, and social injustice; and pushed them to the edges of their host societies. The Iranian Diaspora presents the first global overview of Iranian migrants’ experiences since the revolution, highlighting the similarities and differences in their experiences of adjustment and integration in North America, Europe, Australia, and the Middle East. Written by leading scholars of the Iranian diaspora, the original essays in this volume seek to understand and describe how Iranians in diaspora (re)define and maintain their ethno-national identity and (re)construct and preserve Iranian culture. They also explore the integration challenges the Iranian immigrants experience in a very negative context of reception. Combining theory and case studies, as well as a variety of methodological strategies and disciplinary perspectives, the essays offer needed insights into some of the most urgent and consequential issues and problem areas of immigration studies, including national, ethnic, and racial identity construction; dual citizenship and nationality maintenance; familial and religious transformation; politics of citizenship; and the link between politics and the integration of immigrants, particularly Muslim immigrants.

Islam

With empirical case studies from Western and Central Europe, the United States, Canada, and the Middle East, this anthology opens a new field of study by exploring people’s rationales for leaving, as well as converting to, Islam

Moving In and Out of Islam edi t ed by k a rin va n nieU W kerk Embracing .a .new .religion, .or .leaving .one’s .faith, .usually . constitutes a significant milestone in a person’s life. While a number of scholars have examined the reasons why people convert to Islam, few have investigated why people leave the faith and what the consequences are for doing so. Taking a holistic approach to conversion and deconversion, Moving In and Out of Islam explores the experiences of people who have come into the faith along with those who have chosen to leave it—including some individuals who have both moved into and out of Islam over the course of their lives. Sixteen empirical case studies trace the processes of moving in or out of Islam in Western and Central Europe, the United States, Canada, and the Middle East. Going beyond fixed notions of conversion or apostasy, the contributors focus on the ambiguity, doubts, and nonlinear trajectories of both moving in and out of Islam. They show how people shifting in either direction have to learn or unlearn habits and change their styles of clothing, dietary restrictions, and ways of interacting with their communities. They also look at how communities react to both converts to the religion and converts out of it, including controversies over the death penalty for apostates. The contributors also cover the political aspects of conversion, including debates on radicalization in the era of the “war on terror” and the role of moderate Islam in conversions.

Cairo .is .a .city .obsessed .with .honor .and .respectability— and love affairs. Sara, a working-class woman, has an affair with a married man and becomes pregnant, only to be abandoned by him; Ayah and Zeid, a respectably engaged couple, argue over whether Ayah’s friend is a prostitute or a virgin; Malak, a European belly dancer who sometimes gets paid for sex, wants to be loved by a man who won’t treat her like a whore just because she’s a dancer; and Alia, a Christian banker who left her abusive husband, is the mistress of a wealthy Muslim man, Haroun, who encourages business by hosting risqué parties for other men and their mistresses. Set in transnational Cairo over two decades, Love, Sex, and Desire in Modern Egypt is an ethnography that explores female respectability and male honor and Western theories and fantasies about Arab society. L. L. Wynn uses stories of love affairs to interrogate three areas of classic anthropological theory: mimesis, kinship, and gift. She develops a broad picture of how individuals love and desire within a cultural and political system that structures the possibilities of, and penalties for, going against sexual and gender norms. Wynn demonstrates that love is at once a moral horizon, an attribute that “naturally” inheres in particular social relations, a social phenomenon strengthened through cultural concepts of gift and kinship, and an emotion deeply felt and desired by individuals.

Sicily . has . been . the . fulcrum . of . the . Mediterranean . throughout history. The island’s central geographical position and its status as ancient Rome’s first overseas province make it key to understanding the development of the Roman Empire. Yet Sicily’s crucial role in the empire has been largely overlooked by scholars of classical antiquity, apart from a small number of specialists in its archaeology and material culture. Urbanism and Empire in Roman Sicily offers the first comprehensive English-language overview of the history and archaeology of Roman Sicily since R. J. A. Wilson’s Sicily under the Roman Empire (1990). Laura Pfuntner traces the development of cities and settlement networks in Sicily in order to understand the island’s political, economic, social, and cultural role in Rome’s evolving Mediterranean hegemony. She identifies and examines three main processes traceable in the archaeological record of settlement in Roman Sicily: urban disintegration, urban adaptation, and the development of alternatives to urban settlement. By expanding the scope of research on Roman Sicily beyond the bounds of the island itself, through comparative analysis of the settlement landscapes of Greece and southern Italy, and by utilizing exciting evidence from recent excavations and surveys, Pfuntner establishes a new empirical foundation for research on Roman Sicily and demonstrates the necessity of including Sicily in broader historical and archaeological studies of the Roman Empire.

Some .sixty .years .after .the .Spanish .conquest .of .Mexico, . a group of Nahua intellectuals in Mexico City set about compiling an extensive book of miscellanea, which was recorded in pictorial form with alphabetic texts in Nahuatl clarifying some imagery or adding new information altogether. This manuscript, known as the Codex Mexicanus, includes records pertaining to the Aztec and Christian calendars, European medical astrology, a genealogy of the Tenochca royal house, and an annals history of pre-conquest Tenochtitlan and early colonial Mexico City, among other topics. Though filled with intriguing information, the Mexicanus has long defied a comprehensive scholarly analysis, surely due to its disparate contents. In this pathfinding volume, Lori Boornazian Diel presents the first thorough study of the entire Codex Mexicanus that considers its varied contents in a holistic manner. She provides an authoritative reading of the Mexicanus’s contents and explains what its creation and use reveal about native reactions to and negotiations of colonial rule in Mexico City. Diel makes sense of the codex by revealing how its miscellaneous contents find counterparts in Spanish books called Reportorios de los tiempos. Based on the medieval almanac tradition, Reportorios contain vast assortments of information related to the issue of time, as does the Mexicanus. Diel masterfully demonstrates that, just as Reportorios were used as guides to living in early modern Spain, likewise the Codex Mexicanus provided its Nahua audience a guide to living in colonial New Spain.

Art and Visual Studies, Pre-Columbian Art History

Offering the first extended comparison of three closely related painted manuscripts from colonial Mexico, this book reveals how differences in their materials and composition show the evolution of the native pictorial tradition

Portraying the Aztec Past

The Codices Boturini, Azcatitlan, and Aubin b y a n g el a Her r en r a Jag o Pa l a n During . the . period . of . Aztec . expansion . and . empire . (ca . . 1325–1525), scribes of high social standing used a pictographic writing system to paint hundreds of manuscripts detailing myriad aspects of life, including historical, calendric, and religious information. Following the Spanish conquest, native and mestizo tlacuiloque (artist-scribes) of the sixteenth century continued to use pre-Hispanic pictorial writing systems to record information about native culture. Three of these manuscripts—Codex Boturini, Codex Azcatitlan, and Codex Aubin—document the origin and migration of the Mexica people, one of several indigenous groups often collectively referred to as “Aztec.” In Portraying the Aztec Past, Angela Herren Rajagopalan offers a thorough study of these closely linked manuscripts, articulating their narrative and formal connections and examining differences in format, style, and communicative strategies. Through analyses that focus on the materials, stylistic traits, facture, and narrative qualities of the codices, she places these annals in their historical and social contexts. Her work adds to our understanding of the production and function of these manuscripts and explores how Mexica identity is presented and framed after the conquest.

Between .1980 .and .1994, .Peru .endured .a .bloody .internal . armed conflict, with some 69,000 people killed in clashes involving two insurgent movements, state forces, and local armed groups. In 2003, a government-sponsored “Truth and Reconciliation Committee” reported that the conflict lasted longer, affected broader swaths of the national territory, and inflicted higher costs, in both human and economic terms, than did any other conflict in Peru’s history. Of those killed, 75 percent were speakers of an indigenous language, and almost 40 percent were among the poorest and most rural members of Peruvian society. These unequal impacts of the violence on the Peruvian people revealed deep and historical disparities within the country. This collection of original essays by leading international experts on Peruvian politics, society, and institutions explores the political and institutional consequences of Peru’s internal armed conflict in the long 1980s. The essays are grouped into sections that cover the conflict itself in historical, comparative, and theoretical perspectives; its consequences for Peru’s political institutions; its effects on political parties across the ideological spectrum; and its impact on public opinion and civil society. This research provides the first systematic and nuanced investigation of the extent to which recent and contemporary Peruvian politics, civil society, and institutions have been shaped by the country’s 1980s violence.

Anthropology, History

Through the career of a charismatic indigenous leader, this book chronicles the struggles surrounding indigenous slavery in Peruvian Amazonia from the collapse of the rubber economy to the beginnings of mass colonization in the region

Slavery and Utopia

The Wars and Dreams of an Amazonian World Transformer by fernando santos-granero In .the .first .half .of .the .twentieth .century, .a .charismatic Peruvian Amazonian indigenous chief, José Carlos Amaringo Chico, played a key role in leading his people, the Ashaninka, through the chaos generated by the collapse of the rubber economy in 1910 and the subsequent pressures of colonists, missionaries, and government officials to assimilate them into the national society. Slavery and Utopia reconstructs the life and political trajectory of this leader whom the people called Tasorentsi, the name the Ashaninka give to the world-transforming gods and divine emissaries that come to this earth to aid the Ashaninka in times of crisis. Fernando Santos-Granero follows Tasorentsi’s transformations as he evolved from being a debt-peon and quasi-slave to being a slave raider; inspirer of an Ashaninka movement against white-mestizo rubber extractors and slave traffickers; paramount chief of a multiethnic, anti-colonial, and anti-slavery uprising; and enthusiastic preacher of an indigenized version of Seventh-Day Adventist doctrine, whose world-transforming message and personal influence extended well beyond Peru’s frontiers. Santos-Granero presents an in-depth analysis of chief Tasorentsi’s political discourse and actions. He demonstrates that the chief never forsook his millenarian beliefs, anti-slavery discourse, or efforts to liberate his people from white-mestizo oppression. Slavery and Utopia thus convincingly refutes those who claim that the Ashaninka proclivity to messianism is an anthropological invention. 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 8

Recently, .many .critics .have .questioned .the .idea .of .universal citizenship by pointing to the racial, class, and gendered exclusions on which the notion of universality rests. Rather than jettison the idea of universal citizenship, however, R. Andrés Guzmán builds on these critiques to reaffirm it especially within the fields of Latina/o and ethnic studies. Beyond conceptualizing citizenship as an outcome of recognition and admittance by the nation-state—in a negotiation for the right to have rights—he asserts that, insofar as universal citizenship entails a forceful entrance into the political from the latter’s foundational exclusions, it emerges at the limits of legality and illegality via a process that exceeds identitarian capture. Drawing on Lacanian psychoanalysis and philosopher Alain Badiou’s notion of “generic politics,” Guzmán advances his argument through close analyses of various literary, cultural, and legal texts that foreground contention over the limits of political belonging. These include the French Revolution, responses to Arizona’s H.B. 2281, the 2006 immigrant rights protests in the United States, the writings of Oscar “Zeta” Acosta, Frantz Fanon’s account of Algeria’s anticolonial struggles, and more. In each case, Guzmán traces the advent of the “citizen” as a collective subject, an identity made up of anyone who seeks to radically transform the organizational coordinates of the place in which she or he lives.

In No Alternative, Rosalynn A. Vega uses ethnographic accounts of natural birth practices in Mexico to complicate these narratives about new midwifery and illuminate larger questions of female empowerment, citizenship, and the commodification of indigenous culture, by showing how alternative birth actually reinscribes traditional racial and gender hierarchies. Vega contrasts the vastly different birthing experiences of upperclass and indigenous Mexican women. Upper-class women often travel to birthing centers to be delivered by professional midwives whose methods are adopted from and represented as indigenous culture, while indigenous women from those same cultures are often forced by lack of resources to use government hospitals regardless of their preferred birthing method. Vega demonstrates that women’s empowerment, having a “choice,” is a privilege of those capable of paying for private medical services—albeit a dubious privilege, as it puts the burden of correctly producing future members of society on women’s shoulders. Vega’s research thus also reveals the limits of citizenship in a neoliberal world, as indigeneity becomes an object of consumption within a transnational racialized economy.

Art and Visual Studies, History

Examining artistic production in solidarity movements throughout the Cold War era, this multidisciplinary anthology reveals the tremendous role that art and performance have played in the quest for social justice in the Americas

The Art of Solidarity

Visual and Performative Politics in Cold War Latin America edited by JessiCa stites Mor and Maria del CarMen sUesCUn Poz as

J es siC a st i t es Mor K elow na, .British .Columbi a Stites Mor is an associate professor of history at the University of British Columbia and serves as the editor-in-chief of the Canadian Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies.

Maria del C arMen sUesC U n P ozas St . .Cath a r ines, .On ta r io Suescun Pozas is an associate professor of history at Brock University. She is a former president of the Canadian Association for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, founding director of Seedling for Change in Society and Environment, and cofounder of the Seedling for Change Press.

The .Cold .War .claimed .many .lives .and .inďŹ&#x201A; . icted .tremendous . psychological pain throughout the Americas. The extreme polarization that resulted from pitting capitalism against communism held most of the creative and productive energy of the twentieth century captive. Many artists responded to Cold War struggles by engaging in activist art practice, using creative expression to mobilize social change. The Art of Solidarity examines how these creative practices in the arts and culture contributed to transnational solidarity campaigns that connected people across the Americas from the early twentieth century through the Cold War and its immediate aftermath. This collection of original essays is divided into four chronological sections: cultural and artistic production in the preâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Cold War era that set the stage for transnational solidarity organizing; early artistic responses to the rise of Cold War polarization and state repression; the centrality of cultural and artistic production in social movements of solidarity; and solidarity activism beyond movements. Essay topics range widely across regions and social groups, from the work of lesbian activists in Mexico City in the late 1970s and 1980s, to the exchanges and transmissions of folk-music practices from Cuba to the United States, to the uses of Chilean arpilleras to oppose and protest the military dictatorship. While previous studies have focused on politically engaged artists or examined how artist communities have created solidarity movements, this book is one of the first to merge both perspectives.

Needed .at .one .moment, .scorned .at .others, .Mexican .agricultural workers have moved back and forth across the USâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Mexico border for the past century. In South Texas, Anglo growersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dreams of creating a modern agricultural empire depended on continuous access to Mexican workers. While this access was officially regulated by immigration laws and policy promulgated in Washington, DC, in practice the migration of Mexican labor involved daily, on-theground negotiations among growers, workers, and the US Border Patrol. In a very real sense, these groups set the parameters of border enforcement policy. Managed Migrations examines the relationship between immigration laws and policy and the agricultural labor relations of growers and workers in South Texas and El Paso during the 1940s and 1950s. Cristina Salinas argues that immigration law was mainly enacted not in embassies or the halls of Congress but on the ground, as a result of daily decisions by the Border Patrol that growers and workers negotiated and contested. She describes how the INS devised techniques to facilitate high-volume yearly deportations and shows how the agency used these enforcement practices to manage the seasonal agricultural labor migration across the border. Her pioneering research reveals the great extent to which immigration policy was made at the local level, as well as the agency of Mexican farmworkers who managed to maintain their mobility and kinship networks despite the constraints of grower paternalism and enforcement actions by the Border Patrol.

Food Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, Latin American Studies

Analyzing international data regarding food production and social inequality, especially in the NAFTA region, this book convincingly argues that neoliberal regimes, not individuals, have created the global obesity epidemic

The Neoliberal Diet

Healthy Profits, Unhealthy People by gerardo otero Why .are .people .getting .fatter .in .the .United .States .and . beyond? Mainstream explanations argue that people simply eat too much “energy-dense” food while exercising too little. By swapping the chips and sodas for fruits and vegetables and exercising more, the problem would be solved. By contrast, The Neoliberal Diet argues that increased obesity does not result merely from individual food and lifestyle choices. Since the 1980s, the neoliberal turn in policy and practice has promoted trade liberalization and retrenchment of the welfare regime, along with continued agricultural subsidies in rich countries. Neoliberal regulation has enabled agribusiness multinationals to thrive by selling highly processed foods loaded with refined flour and sugars—a diet that originated in the United States—as well as meat. Drawing on extensive empirical data, Gerardo Otero identifies the socioeconomic and political forces that created this diet, which has been exported around the globe, often at the expense of people’s health. Otero shows how state-level actions, particularly subsidies for big farms and agribusiness, have ensured the dominance of processed foods and made healthful fresh foods inaccessible to many. Comparing agrifood performance across several nations, including the NAFTA region, and correlating food access to class inequality, he convincingly demonstrates the structural character of food production and the effect of inequality on individual food choices. Resolving the global obesity crisis, Otero concludes, lies not in blaming individuals but in creating state-level programs to reduce inequality and make healthier food accessible to all.

Photography, Nature and Environment

Stunning aerial photographs taken during a 3,822 mile-circumnavigation of Texas offer fresh views of the beauty and diversity of the state’s natural and human landscapes

A Mile above Texas b y Jay b. saU Ceda On .the .ground, .Texas .is .a .vast .patchwork .of .natural .and . human landscapes—wide open spaces contrasting with sprawling cities; the watery worlds of rivers, lakes, and coastlines giving way to the arid vistas of plains and deserts. From the air, though, Texas takes on a wholeness that unites the landscapes that people manufacture with the land that nature still sculpts. This is the Texas that Jay B. Sauceda portrays in A Mile above Texas, a book of stunning aerial photographs that document the entire perimeter of the state. Sauceda ﬂew 3,822 miles, over five days in 2015, in a single-engine Cessna. He shot more than 44,000 photos from the plane, via handheld cameras and GoPros attached to the wings. This book presents the very best of those photographs in sections that cover each leg of the trip: Victoria to Marshall, Marshall to Dalhart, Dalhart to El Paso, El Paso to Marfa, and Marfa to Mustang Beach. With fresh views of Texas’s beaches and rivers, woodlands and deserts, cities and farms, A Mile above Texas offers an encompassing view of the state that perhaps only flyers and migratory birds have enjoyed before now.

“Jay B. Sauceda is creating a new kind of literature for the state, a visual literature that is as significant and powerful as John Graves’s Goodbye to a River, Robert Caro’s The Path to Power, Edna Ferber’s Giant, or T. R. Fehrenbach’s Lone Star. His compositions accomplish what all great work does—offering a new way of seeing things so familiar that we have stopped seeing them.”

The . neighborhoods . of . Fifth . Ward, . Fourth . Ward, . Third . Ward, and the Southside of Houston, Texas, gave birth to Houston rap, a vibrant music scene that has produced globally recognized artists such as Geto Boys, DJ Screw, Pimp C and Bun B of UGK, Fat Pat, Big Moe, Z-Ro, Lil’ Troy, and Paul Wall. Lance Scott Walker and photographer Peter Beste spent a decade documenting Houston’s scene, interviewing and photographing the people—rappers, DJs, producers, promoters, record label owners—and places that give rap music from the Bayou City its distinctive character. Their collaboration produced the books Houston Rap and Houston Rap Tapes. This second edition of Houston Rap Tapes amplifies the city’s hip-hop history through new interviews with Scarface, Slim Thug, Lez Moné, B L A C K I E, Lil’ Keke, and Sire Jukebox of the original Ghetto Boys. Walker groups the interviews into sections that track the different eras and movements in Houston rap, with new photographs and album art that reveal the evolution of the scene from the 1970s to today’s hip-hop generation. The interviews range from the specifics of making music to the passions, regrets, memories, and hopes that give it life. While offering a view from some of Houston’s most marginalized areas, these intimate conversations lay out universal struggles and feelings. As Willie D of Geto Boys writes in the foreword, “Houston Rap Tapes flows more like a bunch of fellows who haven’t seen each other for ages, hanging out on the block reminiscing, rather than a calculated literary guide to Houston’s history.”

There wasn’t a lot of rap records out of Houston at all, and maybe just a tape at the time if I can remember correctly. And I knew—because I had been to New York back and forth, and L.A. and everywhere else—that they needed to battle against each other to get somewhere. They need to get better. You know, that was not the focus here. We were just the buyers at the time. We were just the buyers of the music. We weren’t the focus, and the only way to make us the focus was for the guys to practice, just like you would practice playing basketball or anything else every day, to get better. And so I said, “You know, if they battle each other, then before you knew it, people would be comin’ from Louisiana, Oklahoma,” their cousins would be comin’ from L.A. and New York to visit their cousins in Houston, and they’d jump in there because they just thought . . . they were from New York, and wore the right clothes, and they could rap! But the people in Houston were already so hip to the game that they could care less! They could care less what you looked like. It was just—could you rap or not? —DJ Steve Fournier 100

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 8

I can remember when there wasn’t a scene, when people laughed at us. People thought we was country. People said all we did down here was ride horses, rope cows and all that, nobody down here had no rap skills. You know, I had to battle cats on the East Coast just to prove that Houston had rap skills. So it’s a good thing depending on what that attention is centered around. We don’t wanna glorify no nonsense. A lot of cats, new cats that get in the game, they don’t understand that. They come in, they glorify a buncha drugs and a buncha nonsense that’s really not representative of what the game is about or what it was about in the beginning. Because in the ’90s, everybody that you see that’s a part of this deal that we’re doing here right now, we focused on skills. We was known for that. I traveled, and I knew the things that attracted people to this city, to the — K- R i n o artists in this city, and it was talent and skills.

Throughout .his .career .as .an .industrialist, .educator, .visionary supporter of new technologies, advocate for worldwide economic development, and philanthropist, George Kozmetsky promoted constructive interactions among the worlds of academia, government, and private-sector business. He personified these interactions as a founder of Teledyne, a dean of the business school at the University of Texas at Austin, an academic researcher at the university’s IC2 Institute, a promoter of new technologies, and a consultant to entrepreneurs and government agencies. In this comprehensive biography, Monty Jones details all aspects of Kozmetsky’s life, from his childhood as the son of Russian immigrants, to his service in World War II, to his accomplishments in technology, education, and business. While Kozmetsky is most widely known for taking early steps to propel the business school at the University of Texas at Austin toward its current position as an internationally prominent institution and for playing a central role in the economic transformation of Austin from a sleepy college town to its present-day status as a center of high-technology research, development, and manufacturing, Jones also details Kozmetsky’s technology career, influence, and philosophy. Kozmetsky embodied the concept of “civic entrepreneurship,” which involves a merging of business acumen, a deep commitment to social responsibility, and visionary leadership for a community’s economic development.
