Merry Christmas from the Family

By Robert Earl Keen $16.95 | £10.99 | C$19.50 hardcover ISBN 978-0-292-71266-9

ROB ERT EARL KEEN Bandera, Texas

The Road Goes On Forever and the Music Never Ends contains the lyrics for twenty-four of Keen’s favorite songs, accompanied by oneliners that offer tantalizing hints at the motivations behind the songs (“Corpus Christi Bay” — “True? Yes, unfortunately.”) Accompanying the lyrics is a wealth of material from Keen’s personal archive—newspaper clippings, concert posters, and programs; journal entries and letters that show him in the process of everything from self-improvement (“Do something really nice for my sister”) to raising money to record an album; and photos by and of family, friends, and fans. A very personal, beautifully designed songbook, scrapbook, and photo album, The Road Goes On Forever and the Music Never Ends is the essential book for everyone who loves the music of Robert Earl Keen. Also packaged in the book is a CD with printable sheet music for all twenty-four songs, which come from Keen’s critically acclaimed albums Walking Distance, Gringo Honeymoon, What I Really Mean, A Bigger Piece of Sky, Farm Fresh Onions, Gravitational Forces, and Picnic.

Keen is one of Texas’s iconic singer/ songwriters with sixteen albums spanning the years 1984 to 2008. A dynamic live performer who averages 125–140 days on the road every year, he sells out shows from Maine to Mexico and from Washington, D.C., to Seattle. He has performed on Austin City Limits and Late Night with Conan O’Brien multiple times. His songs have been recorded by the Dixie Chicks, Nanci Griffith, Lyle Lovett, Kelly Willis, George Strait, Gillian Welch, and Johnny Cash and the Highwaymen, among others.

Continuing the proud tradition of No Depression, the definitive, critically acclaimed magazine of American roots music, this is the next installment of No Depression as a bookazine (whatever that is)

No Depression #77 Surveying the Past, Present, and Future of American Music Edited by Grant Alden a n d P e t e r B l a ck s t o ck

GRANT ALDEN Morehead, Kentucky

PETER B LAC K STO C K Mebane, North Carolina Alden and Blackstock (along with Kyla Fairchild) founded No Depression in 1995 in Seattle, Washington, and have been its editors ever since.

For most of its thirteen-year history as a beloved and decorated music magazine, No Depression sought to be an instrument of change: to draw attention to the deep well of American musical traditions; to shine a light on performers whose gifts far exceed the size of their audiences or their pocketbooks; and to provide a safe harbor for the best long-form writing about music on the newsstand. These traditions continue through No Depression’s now semiannual series of bookazines. The inaugural bookazine, numbered ND #76 so as to make explicit the continuity between the magazine and its new format, focused on the next generation of emerging roots music performers. ND #77, due out the spring of 2009, will center around the phrase “instruments of change,” and the various ways in which those words may be interpreted. Early assignments include profiles of mandolinist Chris Thile by Seth Mnookin, bassist Charlie Haden by Jon Weisberger, Tejano accordion legend Esteban Jordan by Joe Nick Patoski, and A-Team bass player Bob Moore by Rich Kienzle, as well as essays on the strange journey of Dock Boggs’ banjo, and an activist’s memory of Phil Ochs. The magazine’s cofounders and coeditors, Grant Alden and Peter Blackstock, continue to guide the bookazine. The magazine’s senior writers and contributors remain on board to shape the tone and voice of the bookazine, and its distinctive graphic design imprint continues in the hands of ND art director Grant Alden.

A Brief History of No Depression No Depression first appeared during the fall of 1995 as a 32-page quarterly magazine. Ten years later it had become a 180-page glossy bimonthly. Along the way it became one of the most prominent publications to cover American roots music, starting from the intersection of country and rock ’n’ roll and tracing the links to bluegrass, folk, blues, gospel, soul, jazz, indie rock, Cajun, conjunto, and beyond. No Depression grew to be acknowledged as one of the finest music magazines ever published, was compared often to the 1960s origins of Rolling Stone or the 1970s heyday of Creem, and received awards from the Utne Reader, ASCAP, and the International Country Music Conference. It was cited by the Chicago Tribune in 2004 as one of the nation’s Top 20 magazines in any category.

Art History

The first full-length monograph on American artist Lance Letscher, whose mysterious, evocative work in collage has garnered international attention

Lance Letscher Collage Artwork by Lance Letscher Introd uction by C h arl es Dee Mitch el l Essay by Brooke Davis And erson An established American artist with a growing international reputation, Lance Letscher transforms found paper into works of art that are mysteriously evocative, often playful, and graphically beautiful. Letscher precisely cuts and recombines scraps of old books and letters, children’s school exercises, recipes, album covers, and other ephemera into motifs that suggest forms abstract and representational. In these collages, which vary from small works on paper to elaborate constructions as large as nine by fourteen feet, Letscher emerges as a skilled colorist and abstractionist who allows blocks of color and fragments of phrases to open up intriguing avenues of memory and association. Lance Letscher: Collage is the first full-length monograph on this important artist. It presents a catalog of 118 works dating from 2001 to 2008, accompanied by essays that explore Letscher’s artistic development and place in contemporary art. Charles Dee Mitchell, a well-known critic and arts writer, recounts the artist’s journey from academically trained improvisational sculptor to creator of collages using found materials. Brooke Davis Anderson traces Letscher’s fruitful connections with prominent Outsider and selftaught artists, including James Castle, Martín Ramírez, Adolf Wölfli, and the quilters of Gee’s Bend.

Fritz Henle In Search of Beauty B y R o y F l uk i n g e r

The catalogue of the first major retrospective exhibition of the life and career of master photographer Fritz Henle staged by the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin in honor of the centennial of Henle’s birth Praised as “the last classic freelance photographer” by photohistorian Helmut Gernsheim and as “a true ‘Old Master’ of the reflex camera” by critic Norman Rothschild, Fritz Henle (1909–1993) was one of the greatest photographers of the mid-twentieth century. Unlike most of his peers who specialized in a particular genre or style of photography, Henle ranged widely and successfully across many genres, including documentary, travel, fashion, commercial, portrait, celebrity, avant-garde, nude, industrial, landscape, and inspirational, to name only a few. He championed the square format photography of the Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera, becoming known later in life as “Mr. Rollei.” A master craftsman renowned for exceptional technique and extraordinary composition, Henle was a prolific artist who published more than twenty books of his work, from This Is Japan (1937) to Casals (1975). Beyond his mastery of the craft, however, Henle was driven by a lifelong urge “to show people beauty.” “I am obsessed,” he said, “by showing them beauty.” Facing page: RCA Building and Chevrolet Grill, New York City. 1937

“Walking Nature Home by Susan J. Tweit offers the reader a constellation of healing stories. Replete with Tweit’s powerful articulations of the human heart and overlaid with the stories of the natural world in all its wonder, this book joins the ranks of the great testimonies of our time.”

Nature Writing, Women’s Studies

A beautifully written, moving memoir about how the diagnosis of a terminal illness led to a perilous journey of self-awareness that not only restored the author’s health but also taught her the healing power of love and of our connection to the natural world

SU SAN J . TWEIT Salida, Colorado Tweit is an award-winning author whose passionate articulation of humans’ relationship with the “community of the land”—nature and the landscapes we love—has earned her accolades that include a Silver Eddie, the Oscar of magazine awards, for “The Last Refuge” in National Parks magazine, and a spot on the Denver Post’s “Colorado Voices” panel— twice. Her eleven books include Colorado Less Traveled, a finalist for the Colorado Book Awards, and The San Luis Valley: Sand Dunes and Sandhill Cranes.

Without a map, navigate by the stars. Susan Tweit began learning this lesson as a young woman diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that was predicted to take her life in two to five years. Offered no clear direction for getting well through conventional medicine, Tweit turned to the natural world that was both her solace and her field of study as a plant ecologist. Drawing intuitive connections between the natural processes and cycles she observed and the functions of her body, Tweit not only learned healthier ways of living but also discovered a great truth— love can heal. In this beautifully written, moving memoir, she describes how love of the natural world, of her husband and family, and of life itself literally transformed and saved her own life. In tracing the arc of her life from young womanhood to middle age, Tweit tells stories about what silence and sagebrush, bird bones and sheep dogs, comets, death, and one crazy Englishman have to teach us about living. She celebrates making healthy choices, the inner voices she learned to hear on days alone in the wilderness, the joys of growing and eating an organic kitchen garden, and the surprising redemption in restoring a once-blighted neighborhood creek. Linking her life lessons to the stories she learned in childhood about the constellations, Tweit shows how qualities such as courage, compassion, and inspiration draw us together and bind us into the community of the land and of all living things.

—Denise Chávez author of A Taco Testimony: Meditations on Family, Food, and Culture

The constellation Orion

From the book “I come from a culture that trusts the logical conclusions of science without question. Science has much to say about the community of the land and the interrelationships that define and sustain that community, as well as about our place in it. Ecology seems to me to be among the most reverential of the sciences. It honors all of life by listening to every voice without exception, giving words to creatures large and small, common and obscure—even those lying broken on the pavement. It chronicles the relationships that tell the great story of life as it flexes

and fluctuates in its eternal dance with change, and the everyday miracle of reincarnation as the molecules from one being cycle through others from birth to death to birth, time and again. It is not the role of ecology to look for miracles or report on matters of heart and spirit. Still, reading between the lines of its data and theories, what shines out of the careful words is the presence of the sacred, demonstrated in the continuing rhythm of life as it makes a place for all of us on this green and animate planet.” — Su s a n J .

Anthologies

An anthology that brings together the very best short stories, excerpts from the acclaimed novels The Magic Wagon and A Fine Dark Line, and previously unpublished tales by multi-awardwinning writer Joe R. Lansdale

Sanctified and Chicken-Fried The Portable Lansdale By Joe R. Lansdale Fo re wo rd by B i l l Cr i de r

J OE R . LANSDALE Nacogdoches, Texas Lansdale is the author of thirty novels, including The Bottoms, Mucho Mojo, A Fine Dark Line, Two-Bear Mambo, and Bad Chili, as well as two hundred shorter works in fiction, nonfiction, essays, and columns. His screenplays, novels, and stories have frequently been optioned by producers and directors such as David Lynch, Ridley Scott, and Adam Friedman. He has written teleplays for Batman: The Animated Series, as well as a multitude of comic book scripts. His novella Bubba Ho-Tep was filmed and starred Ossie Davis and Bruce Campbell, and his short story “Incident On and Off a Mountain Road” was filmed for Showtime.

5_SP09_Trade.indd 24-25

Master of mojo storytelling, spinner of over-the-top yarns of horror, suspense, humor, mystery, science fiction, and even the Old West, Joe R. Lansdale has attracted a wide and enthusiastic following. His genre-defying work has brought him numerous awards, including the Grand Master of Horror from the World Horror Convention, the Edgar Award, the American Horror Award, seven Bram Stoker awards, the British Fantasy Award, Italy’s Grinzane Prize for Literature, as well as Notable Book of the Year recognition twice from the New York Times. Sanctified and ChickenFried is the first “true best of Lansdale” anthology. It brings together a unique mix of well-known short stories and excerpts from his acclaimed novels, along with new and previously unpublished material. In this collection of gothic tales that explore the dark and sometimes darkly humorous side of life and death, you’ll meet traveling preachers with sinister agendas, towns lost to time, teenagers out for a good time who get more than they bargain for, and gangsters and strange goings-on U n i v e r s i t y o f T e x a s P r e s s | Sp r i n g 2 0 0 9

at the end of the world. Out of the blender of Lansdale’s imagination spew tall tales about men and mules, hogs and races, that are, in his words, “the equivalent of Aesop meets Flannery O’Connor on a date with William Faulkner, the events recorded by James M. Cain.” Whether you’re a long-time fan of Joe R. Lansdale or just discovering his work, this anthology brings you the best of a writer whom the New York Times Book Review has praised for having “a folklorist’s eye for telling detail and a front-porch raconteur’s sense of pace.” U n i v e r s i t y o f T e x a s P r e s s | Sp r i n g 2 0 0 9

RO B ERT S . RIDGELY Washington, D.C., and North Sandwich, New Hampshire Ridgely, a leading ornithologist and author of A Guide to the Birds of Panama and The Birds of Ecuador, is Deputy Director of World Land Trust-US. He has served on numerous conservation-related boards, and currently is especially involved with Fundación Jocotoco in Ecuador, of which he is president.

With the publication of the landmark volumes The Birds of South America: The Oscine Passerines and The Birds of South America: The Suboscine Passerines, Robert S. Ridgely and Guy Tudor established themselves as the leading authorities on the songbirds of South America. Reviewers hailed the volumes as the essential reference works for professional ornithologists and avocational birders alike, and they remain the only volumes that provide full scientific coverage of the continent’s passerines. Recognizing the need for a more compact guide that birders can take into the field, Ridgely and Tudor have now extracted and updated the essential identification information from The Birds of South America to create the Field Guide to the Songbirds of South America.

GU Y T U DOR Forest Hills, New York Tudor, a MacArthur Fellow and wellknown bird artist and naturalist, was the principal illustrator of A Guide to the Birds of Venezuela and A Guide to the Birds of Colombia.

Every September, an extraordinary scene takes place in the sky above the Chapman Elementary School. Its chimney is an important nesting habitat for flocks of Vaux’s Swifts (Chaetura vauxi) who stop here on their annual migrations between Canada and Mexico. Like the Congress Avenue Bridge 08 this is a place where the patterns of the natural world in Austin, Texas intersect with the urban. Evolutionary relatives of the hummingbird, swifts are known for their dazzling velocity and ability to snatch insects in flight. So compelling are the swifts’ twilight rituals, that crowds of people gather on the school’s lawn to enjoy each other’s company and learn about the work of the Audubon Society of Portland, which staffs an information table. Sometimes the thousands of swifts dart through the sky as randomly as neutrinos, but then they can spontaneously coordinate into a cyclone swirling in one direction around the chimney’s vortex. A falcon might plunge into the scene, scattering the whole flock into a panic until a defensive squadron forms up to chase the raptor away. The crowd cheers at such moxie. But then the falcon might return and succeed in separating out a lone swift, deftly seizing its prey in mid-flight. The crowd gasps. As the light diminishes, Mt. St. Helens in the distance gains contrast. All of a sudden, streams of birds dive into the chimney, as if a film projector had been thrown into reverse, the smokestack now inhaling instead of exhaling. Once the last of the swifts is safely inside, the families applaud, gather up their picnics, and return home to their own roosts.

The Journey Home

By Dermot Bolger Hailed by Colm Tóibín as “certainly the best Irish novel never released in America,” The Journey Home made its U.S. debut in spring 2008 to critical acclaim from both the New Yorker and the New York Times Book Review.

“The Journey Home seems, at times, like an Irish Rebel Without a Cause: it is, like that 1955 James Dean film, the coming-of-age story of young people who seem to veer helplessly between wanting everything to change—now—and wanting everything to stay the same forever. . . . This is a mournful book, but not a glum one, really: the writer’s love of his agonized characters and his unsettled homeland is unmistakable, and redemptive. . . . Wherever the ‘real’ Ireland is or was or will be, there are great chunks of it, with the smell and texture of Irish earth, in Dermot Bolger’s rich, conflicted, ferociously vital book.” — N e w Y o r k T i m e s B o o k R e v i e w U n i v e r s i t y o f T e x a s P r e s s | Sp r i n g 2 0 0 9

Misplaced Objects Migrating Collections and Recollections in Europe and the Americas B y S i lv i a S p i t t a

From sixteenth-century European Wunderkammern to the veneration of the Virgin of Guadalupe to the Latinization of the United States, this dynamic and innovative book explores how the circulation of objects between Europe and the Americas has profoundly reshaped our understanding of the world “When things move, things change.” Starting from this deceptively simple premise, Silvia Spitta opens a fascinating window onto the profound displacements and transformations that have occurred over the six centuries since material objects and human subjects began circulating between Europe and the Americas. This extended reflection on the dynamics of misplacement starts with the European practice of collecting objects from the Americas into Wunderkammern, literally “cabinets of wonders.” Stripped of all identifying contexts, these exuberant collections, including the famous Real Gabinete de Historia Natural de Madrid, upset European certainties, forcing Facing Page: An Account of Six Disastrous Years in the Library for Animals by Mark Dion, 1992

“When people migrate, things migrate as well, and the saga of this endless migration glitters throughout Misplaced Objects, Silvia Spitta’s brilliant study of the intermingling of New and Old World clutter. In her categorybending analysis, Spitta argues that New World exotica upset European certainties and created new rifts in Western classifications. Her marvelfilled book probes the ways in which the loose and unruly objects gathered during conquest and colonization transformed the jigsaw of modernity into curiosity cabinets, nineteenth-century scientific practices, Barnum’s — Pa t r i c i a Y a e g e r sideshows, and the modern museum.”

a reorganization of knowledge that gave rise to scientific inquiry and to the epistemological shift we call modernity. In contrast, cults such as that of the Virgin of Guadalupe arose out of the reverse migration from Europe to the Americas. The ultimate marker of mestizo identity in Mexico, the Virgin of Guadalupe is now fast crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, and miracles are increasingly being reported. Misplaced Objects then concludes with the more intimate and familial collections and recollections of Cuban and Mexican American artists and writers that are contributing to the Latinization of the United States. Beautifully illustrated and radically interdisciplinary, Misplaced Objects clearly demonstrates that it is not the awed viewer, but rather the misplaced object itself that unsettles our certainties, allowing new meanings to emerge.

Though the field of comic book studies has burgeoned in recent years, Latino characters and creators have received little attention. Putting the spotlight on this vibrant segment, Your Brain on Latino Comics illuminates the world of superheroes Firebird, Vibe, and the new Blue Beetle while also examining the effects on readers who are challenged to envision such worlds. Exploring mainstream companies such as Marvel and DC as well as stars from other publishers, Frederick Aldama provides a new reading of race, ethnicity, and the relatively new storytelling medium of comics themselves. Overview chapters cover the evolution of Latino influences, innovations, and representations of women in comics, demonstrating Latino transcendence of many mainstream techniques. The author then probes the rich and complex ways in which such artists affect the cognitive and emotional responses of readers as they imagine past, present, and future worlds. Twenty-one interviews with Latino comic book and comic strip authors and artists, including Laura Molina, Frank Espinosa, and Rafael Navarro, complete the study, yielding captivating commentary on the current state of the trade, cultural perceptions, and the intentions of creative individuals who shape their readers in powerful ways.

Founded in 1926, the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection at the University of Texas at Austin has become one of the world’s great libraries for the study of Latin America, as well as the largest university library collection of Latin American materials in the United States. Encompassing all parts of the Western Hemisphere that were ever under the sway of the Spanish or Portuguese empires, the Benson Collection documents Latin American history and culture from the first European contacts to the current activities of Latino/as in the United States. Scholars, students, and members of the public from around the world regularly use the multifaceted, multimedia resources of the Benson. This lavishly illustrated volume presents the treasures of the Benson Latin American Collection—books, maps, manuscripts, engravings, art prints, photographs, newspapers, and periodicals dating from around 1500 to the present—to visually explain how the collection has documented the vitality of the New World for research, especially in the social sciences. The materials pictured in the book are organized around four broad themes: the diversity and immensity of the physical landscape, the peopling of the New World, its political and economic evolution, and its cultural development. The concluding chapters explore the functions of the Benson Collection, which gathers materials demonstrating human advancement from indigenous writing to electronic information, while also providing reference and technical services to a worldwide community of researchers.

A Recent History

A History from Antiquity to the Present

By Lawrence R. Samuel

By Phillip C. Naylor

LAWRENC E R . SAM UEL is the founder of Culture Planning LLC, a consultancy for Fortune 500 companies. He is the author of Pledging Allegiance: American Identity and the Bond Drive of World War II; Brought to You By: Postwar Television Advertising and the American Dream; and The End of the Innocence: The 1964–1965 New York World’s Fair. He lives in Miami Beach and New York City.

The future is not a fixed idea but a highly variable one that reflects the values of those who are imagining it. By studying the ways that visionaries imagined the future—particularly that of America— in the past century, much can be learned about the cultural dynamics of the time. In this social history, Lawrence R. Samuel examines the future visions of intellectuals, artists, scientists, businesspeople, and others to tell a chronological story about the history of the future in the past century. He defines six separate eras of future narratives from 1920 to the present day and argues that the milestones reached during these years—especially related to air and space travel, atomic and nuclear weapons, the women’s and civil rights movements, and the advent of biological and genetic engineering—sparked the possibilities of tomorrow in the public’s imagination, and helped make the twentieth century the first century to be significantly more about the future than the past. The idea of the future grew both in volume and importance as it rode the technological wave into the new millennium, and the author tracks the process by which most people, to some degree, have now become futurists as the need to anticipate tomorrow accelerates.

North Africa has been a vital crossroads throughout history, serving as a connection between Africa, Asia, and Europe. Paradoxically, however, the region’s historical significance has been chronically underestimated. In a book that may lead scholars to reimagine the concept of Western civilization, incorporating the role North African peoples played in shaping “the West,” Phillip Naylor describes a locale whose transcultural heritage serves as a crucial hinge, politically, economically, and socially.

Early in its history, anthropology was a visual as well as verbal discipline. But as time passed, visually oriented professionals became a minority among their colleagues, and most anthropologists used written words rather than audiovisual modes as their professional means of communication. Today, however, contemporary electronic and interactive media once more place visual anthropologists and anthropologically oriented artists within the mainstream. Digital media, small-sized and easy-to-use equipment, and the Internet, with its interactive and public forum websites, democratize roles once relegated to highly trained professionals alone. However, having access to a good set of tools does not guarantee accurate and reliable work. Visual anthropology involves much more than media alone. This book presents visual anthropology as a work-in-progress, open to the myriad innovations that the new audiovisual communications technologies bring to the field. It is intended to aid in contextualizing, explaining, and humanizing the storehouse of visual knowledge that university students and general readers now encounter, and to help inform them about how these new media tools can be used for intellectually and socially beneficial purposes. Concentrating on documentary photography and ethnographic film, as well as lesser-known areas of study and presentation including dance, painting, architecture, archaeology, and primate research, the book’s fifteen contributors feature populations living on all of the world’s continents as well as within the United States.

Color is an integral part of human experience, so common as to be overlooked or treated as unimportant. Yet color is both unavoidable and varied. Each culture classifies, understands, and uses it in different and often surprising ways, posing particular challenges to those who study color from long-ago times and places far distant. Veiled Brightness reconstructs what color meant to the ancient Maya, a set of linked peoples and societies who flourished in and around the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico and Central America. By using insights from archaeology, linguistics, art history, and conservation, the book charts over two millennia of color use in a region celebrated for its aesthetic refinement and high degree of craftsmanship. The authors open with a survey of approaches to color perception, looking at Aristotelian color theory, recent discoveries in neurophysiology, and anthropological research on color. Maya color terminology receives new attention here, clarifying not just basic color terms, but also the extensional or associated meanings that enriched ancient Maya perception of color. The materials and technologies of Maya color production are assembled in one place as never before, providing an invaluable reference for future research. From these investigations, the authors demonstrate that Maya use of color changed over time, through a sequence of historical and artistic developments that drove the elaboration of new pigments and coloristic effects. These findings open fresh avenues for investigation of ancient Maya aesthetics and worldview and provide a model for how to study the meaning and making of color in other ancient civilizations.

The Public Sculpture of El Tajín

El Tajín, an ancient Mesoamerican capital in Veracruz, Mexico, has long been admired for its stunning pyramids and ballcourts decorated with extensive sculptural programs. Yet the city’s singularity as the only center in the region with such a wealth of sculpture and fine architecture has hindered attempts to place it more firmly in the context of Mesoamerican history. In Lightning Gods and Feathered Serpents, Rex Koontz undertakes the first extensive treatment of El Tajín’s iconography in over thirty years, allowing us to view its imagery in the broader Mesoamerican context of rising capitals and new elites during a period of fundamental historical transformations. Koontz focuses on three major architectural features—the Pyramid of the Niches/Central Plaza ensemble, the South Ballcourt, and the Mound of the Building Columns complex—and investigates the meanings of their sculpture and how these meanings would have been experienced by specific audiences. Koontz finds that the iconography of El Tajín reveals much about how motifs and elite rites growing out of the Classic period were transmitted to later Mesoamerican peoples as the cultures centered on Teotihuacan and the Maya became the myriad city-states of the Early Postclassic period.

B y F e l i p e Gu a m a n P o m a d e A y a l a Transl ated and ed ited by Rol and Hamilton ROLAND HA M ILTON One of the most fascinating books on pre-Columbian and early colonial Peru was written by a Peruvian Indian named Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala. The First New Chronicle and Good Government covers pre-Inca times, various aspects of Inca culture, the Spanish conquest, and colonial times up to around 1615. Now housed in the Royal Library, Copenhagen, Denmark, and viewable online at www.kb.dk/permalink/2006/poma/info/en/frontpage.htm, the original manuscript has 1,189 pages accompanied by 398 full-page drawings that constitute the most accurate graphic depiction of Inca and colonial Peruvian material culture ever done. Working from the original manuscript and consulting with fellow Quechua- and Spanish-language experts, Roland Hamilton here provides the most complete and authoritative English translation of approximately the first third of The First New Chronicle and Good Government. The sections included in this volume (pages 1–369 of the manuscript) cover the history of Peru from the earliest times and the lives of the Inca rulers and their wives, as well as information about the calendar, idols, sorcerers, burials, songs, palaces, and government officials. One hundred forty-six of Guaman Poma’s detailed illustrations enhance the text.

He lives in West Shokan, New York.

The William and Bettye Nowlin Series in Art, History, and Culture of the Western Hemisphere

Compiled in 1582, Ballads of the Lords of New Spain is one of the two principal sources of Nahuatl song, as well as a poetical window into the mindset of the Aztec people some sixty years after the conquest of Mexico. Presented as a cancionero, or anthology, in the mode of New Spain, the ballads show a reordering—but not an abandonment—of classic Aztec values. In the careful reading of John Bierhorst, the ballads reveal in no uncertain terms the pre-conquest Aztec belief in the warrior’s paradise and in the virtue of sacrifice. This volume contains an exact transcription of the thirty-six Nahuatl song texts, accompanied by authoritative English translations. Bierhorst includes all the numerals (which give interpretive clues) in the Nahuatl texts and also differentiates the text from scribal glosses. His translations are thoroughly annotated to help readers understand the imagery and allusions in the texts. The volume also includes a helpful introduction and a larger essay, “On the Translation of Aztec Poetry,” that discusses many relevant historical and literary issues. In Bierhorst’s expert translation and interpretation, Ballads of the Lords of New Spain emerges as a song of resistance by a conquered people and the recollection of a glorious past.

UT Press, in a collaboration with the University of Texas Libraries, will publish an interactive digital adaptation of the Ballads that will expand the scholarly content beyond what is possible to publish in book form. The Web site, to launch in conjunction with the book in June 2009, includes all of the printed book plus scans of the original codex, a normative transcription, and space to interact with the author and other scholars, as well as art, audio, a map, and other related material. The digital Ballads will be open access, bringing one of the university’s rare holdings to scholars around the world.

By Bárbara Renaud González

EL L IE D . HERNÁNDEZ is Associate Professor of Women’s Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, specializing in gender, sexuality, and globalization.

Chicana Matters Series Deena J. González and Antonia Castañeda, Editors

In recent decades, Chicana/o literary and cultural productions have dramatically shifted from a nationalist movement that emphasized unity to one that openly celebrates diverse experiences. Charting this transformation, Postnationalism in Chicana/o Literature and Culture looks to the late 1970s, during a resurgence of global culture, as a crucial turning point whose reverberations in twentyfirst-century late capitalism have been profound. Arguing for a postnationalism that documents the radical politics and aesthetic processes of the past while embracing contemporary cultural and sociopolitical expressions among Chicana/o peoples, Hernández links the multiple forces at play in these interactions. Reconfiguring text-based analysis, she looks at the comparative development of movements within women’s rights and LGBTQI activist circles. Incorporating economic influences, this unique trajectory leads to a new conception of border studies as well, rethinking the effects of a restructured masculinity as a symbol of national cultural transformation. Ultimately positing that globalization has enhanced the emergence of new Chicana/o identities, Hernández cultivates important new understandings of borderlands identities and postnationalism itself.

The golondrina is a small and undistinguished swallow. But in Spanish, the word has evoked a thousand poems and songs dedicated to the migrant’s departure and hoped-for return. As such, the migrant becomes like the swallow, a dream-seeker whose real home is nowhere, everywhere, and especially in the heart of the person left behind. The swallow in this story is Amada García, a young Mexican woman in a brutal marriage, who makes a heart-wrenching decision—to leave her young daughter behind in Mexico as she escapes to El Norte searching for love, which she believes must reside in the country of freedom. However, she falls in love with the man who brings her to the Texas border, and the memories of those three passionate days forever sustain and define her journey in Texas. She meets and marries Lázaro Mistral, who is on his own journey—to reclaim the land his family lost after the U.S.-Mexican War. Their opposing narratives about love and war become the legacy of their first-born daughter, Lucero, who must reconcile their stories into her struggle to find “home,” as her mother, Amada, finally discovers the country where love beats its infinite wings. Bárbara Renaud González, a native-born Tejana and acclaimed journalist, has written a lyrical story of land, love, and loss, bringing us the first novel of a working-class Tejano family set in the cruelest beauty of the Texas panhandle. Her story exposes the brutality, tragedy, and hope of her homeland and helps to fill a dearth of scholarly and literary works on Mexican and Mexican American women in post–World War II Texas.

Through the lives and works of three women in colonial California, Bárbara O. Reyes examines frontier mission social spaces and their relationship to the creation of gendered colonial relations in the Californias. She explores the function of missions and missionaries in establishing hierarchies of power and in defining gendered spaces and roles, and she looks at the ways that women challenged, and attempted to modify, the construction of those hierarchies, roles, and spaces. Reyes studies the criminal inquiry and depositions of Barbara Gandiaga, an Indian woman charged with conspiracy to murder two priests at her mission; the divorce petition of Eulalia Callis, the first lady of colonial California who petitioned for divorce from her adulterous governor-husband; and the testimonio of Eulalia Pérez, the head housekeeper at Mission San Gabriel who acquired a position of significant authority and responsibility but whose work has not been properly recognized. These three women’s voices seem to reach across time and place, calling for additional, more complex analysis and questions: Could women have agency in the colonial Californias? Did the social structures or colonial processes in place in the frontier setting of New Spain confine or limit them in particular gendered ways? And, were gender dynamics in colonial California explicitly rigid as a result of the imperatives of the goals of colonization?

B y A n a Pat r i c i a R o d r í g u e z In 1899, the United Fruit Company (UFCO) was officially incorporated in Boston, Massachusetts, beginning an era of economic, diplomatic, and military interventions in Central America. This event marked the inception of the struggle for economic, political, and cultural autonomy in Central America as well as an era of homegrown inequities, injustices, and impunities to which Central Americans have responded in creative and critical ways. This juncture also set the conditions for the creation of the Transisthmus—a material, cultural, and symbolic site of vast intersections of people, products, and narratives. Taking 1899 as her point of departure, Ana Patricia Rodríguez offers a comprehensive, comparative, and meticulously researched book covering more than one hundred years, between 1899 and 2007, of modern cultural and literary production and modern empire-building in Central America. She examines narratives of (anti)imperialism, revolution, subalternity, globalization, impunity, transnational migration, and diaspora, as well as other discursive, historical, and material configurations of the region beyond its geophysical and political confines. Focusing in particular on how the material productions and symbolic tropes of cacao, coffee, indigo, bananas, canals, waste, and transmigrant labor have shaped the transisthmian cultural and literary imaginaries, Rodríguez develops new methodological approaches for studying cultural production in Central America and its diasporas.

To understand border enforcement and the shape it has taken, it is imperative to examine a groundbreaking Border Patrol operation begun in 1993 in El Paso, Texas, “Operation Blockade.” The El Paso Border Patrol posted 400 agents directly on the banks of the Rio Grande to deter unauthorized border crossings into the urban areas of El Paso from neighboring Ciudad Juárez. This approach, of “prevention through deterrence,” became the foundation of the 1994 and 2004 National Border Patrol Strategies for the Southern Border. Politically popular overall, it has rendered unauthorized border crossing far less visible in many key urban areas. However, the real effectiveness of the strategy is debatable, at best. Its implementation has also led to a sharp rise in the number of deaths of unauthorized border crossers. Here, Dunn examines the paradigm-changing Operation Blockade and related border enforcement efforts in the El Paso region, as well as the local social and political situation that spawned the approach and has shaped it since. Dunn spotlights the human rights abuses and enforcement excesses inflicted on local Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants as well as the challenges to those abuses. Throughout the book, Dunn filters his research and fieldwork through two competing lenses, human rights versus the rights of national sovereignty and citizenship.

Professor Juan Manuel Barrientos prefers footsteps to footnotes. Fighting a hangover, he manages to keep his appointment to lead a group of students on a walking lecture among the historic buildings of downtown Mexico City. When the students fail to show up, however, he undertakes a solo tour that includes more cantinas than cathedrals. Unable to resist either alcohol itself or the introspection it inspires, Professor Barrientos muddles his personal past with his historic surroundings, setting up an inevitable conclusion in the very center of Mexico City. First published in Mexico in the late 1990s, And Let the Earth Tremble at Its Centers was immediately lauded as a contemporary masterpiece in the long tradition of literary portraits of Mexico City. It is a book worthy of its dramatic title, which is drawn from a line in the Mexican national anthem. Gonzalo Celorio first earned a place among the leading figures of Mexican letters for his scholarship and criticism, and careful readers will recognize a scholar’s attention to accuracy within the novel’s dyspeptic descriptions of Mexico City. The places described are indeed real (this edition includes a map that marks those visited in the story), though a few have since closed or been put to new uses. Dick Gerdes’s elegant translation now preserves them all for a new audience.

Divination and Magic in Modern Puerto Rico In this intimate ethnography, Raquel Romberg seeks to illuminate the performative significance of healing rituals and magic works, their embodied nature, and their effectiveness in transforming the states of participants by focusing on the visible, albeit mostly obscure, ways in which healing and magic rituals proceed. The questions posed by Romberg emerge directly from the particular pragmatics of Puerto Rican brujería (witch-healing), shaped by the eclecticism of its rituals, the heterogeneous char“One of the best works acter of its participants, and the heterodoxy of its moral economy.

In Aztec and colonial Central Mexico, every individual was destined for lifelong placement in a legally defined social stratum or estate. Social mobility became possible after independence from Spain in 1821 and increased after the 1910–1920 Revolution. By 2000, the landed aristocracy that was long Mexico’s ruling class had been replaced by a plutocracy whose wealth derives from manufacturing, commerce, and finance—but rapid growth of the urban lower classes reveals the failure of the Mexican Revolution and subsequent agrarian reform to produce a middle-class majority. These evolutionary changes in Mexico’s class system form the subject of Social Stratification in Central Mexico, 1500–2000, the first long-term, comprehensive overview of social stratification from the eve of the Spanish Conquest to the end of the twentieth century. The book is divided into two parts. Part One concerns the period from the Spanish Conquest of 1521 to the Revolution of 1910. The authors depict the main features of the estate system that existed both before and after the Spanish Conquest, the nature of stratification on the haciendas that dominated the countryside for roughly four centuries, and the importance of race and ethnicity in both the estate system and the class structures that accompanied and followed it. Part Two portrays the class structure of the postrevolutionary period (1920 onward), emphasizing the demise of the landed aristocracy, the formation of new upper and middle classes, the explosive growth of the urban lower classes, and the final phase of the Indian-mestizo transition in the countryside.

Brazilian History, Latin American Studies, Cultural Studies

A fascinating study of how the Roosevelt administration used mass media, including films by such luminaries as John Ford, Walt Disney, and Orson Wells, to promote the American way of life to Brazilians and how Brazilians actively interpreted, negotiated, and reconfigured this effort at cultural seduction

The Seduction of Brazil The Americanization of Brazil during World War II By A n t o n i o P e d r o T o ta Transl ated by L orena B. El l is Foreword by Daniel J. Greenberg Following completion of the U.S. air base in Natal, Brazil, in 1942, U.S. airmen departing for North Africa during World War II communicated with Brazilian mechanics with a thumbs-up before starting their engines. This sign soon replaced the Brazilian tradition of touching the earlobe to indicate agreement, friendship, and all that was positive and good—yet another indication of the Americanization of Brazil under way during this period. In this translation of O Imperialismo Sedutor, Antonio Pedro Tota considers both the Good Neighbor Policy and broader cultural influences to argue against simplistic theories of U.S. cultural imperialism and exploitation. He shows that Brazilians actively interpreted, negotiated, and reconfigured U.S. culture in a process of cultural recombination. The market, he argues, was far more important in determining the nature of this cultural exchange than state-directed propaganda efforts because Brazil already was primed to adopt and disseminate American culture within the framework of its own rapidly expanding market for mass culture. By examining the motives and strategies behind rising U.S. influence and its relationship to a simultaneous process of cultural and political centralization in Brazil, Tota shows that these processes were not contradictory, but rather mutually reinforcing.

Addressing representation and identity in a variety of production styles and genres, including experimental film and documentary, independent and mainstream film, and television drama, Filming Difference poses fundamental questions about the ways in which the art and craft of filmmaking force creative people to confront stereotypes and examine their own identities while representing the complexities of their subjects. Selections range from C. A. Griffith’s “Del Otro Lado: Border Crossings, Disappearing Souls, and Other Transgressions” and Celine Perreñas Shimizu’s “Pain and Pleasure in the Flesh of Machiko Saito’s Experimental Movies” to Christopher Bradley’s “I Saw You Naked: ‘Hard’ Acting in ‘Gay’ Movies,” along with Kevin Sandler’s interview with Paris Barclay, Yuri Makino’s interview with Chris Eyre, and many other perspectives on the implications of film production, writing, producing, and acting. Technical aspects of the craft are considered as well, including how contributors to filmmaking plan and design films and episodic television that feature difference, and how the tools of cinema—such as cinematography and lighting—influence portrayals of gender, race, and sexuality. The struggle between economic pressures and the desire to produce thought-provoking, socially conscious stories forms another core issue raised in Filming Difference. Speaking with critical rigor and creative experience, the contributors to this collection communicate the power of their media. U n i v e r s i t y o f T e x a s P r e s s | Sp r i n g 2 0 0 9

No American dramatist has had more plays adapted than Tennessee Williams, and few modern dramatists have witnessed as much controversy during the adaptation process. His Hollywood legacy, captured in such screen adaptations as A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and Suddenly, Last Summer, reflects the sea change in American culture in the mid-twentieth century. Placing this body of work within relevant contexts ranging from gender and sexuality to censorship, modernism, art cinema, and the Southern Renaissance, Hollywood’s Tennessee draws on rarely examined archival research to recast Williams’s significance. Providing not only cultural context, the authors also bring to light the details of the arduous screenwriting process Williams experienced, with special emphasis on the Production Code Administration—the powerful censorship office that drew high-profile criticism during the 1950s—and Williams’s innovative efforts to bend the code. Going well beyond the scripts themselves, Hollywood’s Tennessee showcases findings culled from poster and billboard art, pressbooks, and other production and advertising material. The result is a sweeping account of how Williams’s adapted plays were crafted, marketed, and received, as well as the lasting implications of this history for commercial filmmakers and their audiences.

Living in 2300 bce, Sumerian high priestess Enheduanna became the first author of historical record by signing her name to a collection of hymns written for forty-two temples throughout the southern half of ancient Mesopotamia, the civilization now known as Sumer. Each of her hymns confirmed to the worshipers in each city the patron deity’s unique character and significance. The collected hymns became part of the literary canon of the remarkable Sumerian culture and were copied by scribes in the temples for hundreds of years after Enheduanna’s death. Betty De Shong Meador offers here the first collection of original translations and analyses of all forty-two hymns. She introduces the volume with discussions of Sumerian history and mythology, as well as with what is known about Enheduanna, thought to be the first high priestess to the moon god Nanna, and daughter of Sargon, founder of one of the first empires in human history.

In Vergil’s Aeneid, the poet implies that those who have been initiated into mystery cults enjoy a blessed situation both in life and after death. This collection of essays brings new insight to the study of mystic cults in the ancient world, particularly those that flourished in Magna Graecia (essentially the area of present-day Southern Italy and Sicily). Implementing a variety of methodologies, the contributors to Mystic Cults in Magna Graecia examine an array of features associated with such “mystery religions” that were concerned with individual salvation through initiation and hidden knowledge rather than civic cults directed toward Olympian deities usually associated with Greek religion. Contributors present contemporary theories of ancient religion, field reports from recent archaeological work, and other frameworks for exploring mystic cults in general and individual deities specifically, with observations about cultural interactions throughout. Topics include Dionysos and Orpheus, the Goddess Cults, Isis in Italy, and Roman Mithras, explored by an international array of scholars including Giulia Sfameni Gasparro (“Aspects of the Cult of Demeter in Magna Graecia”) and Alberto Bernabé (“Imago Inferorum Orphica”).

Now translated from the Arabic, Sa¯mı¯’s diary represents a rare artifact of turbulent change in the Middle East. Written over four years, these ruminations of a young man from Hebron brim with revelations about daily life against a backdrop of tremendous transition. Describing the public and the private, the modern and the traditional, Sa¯mı¯ muses on relationships, his station in life, and other universal experiences while sharing numerous details about a pivotal moment in Palestine’s modern history. Making these never-before-published reflections available in translation, Kimberly Katz also provides illuminating context for Sa¯mı¯’s words, laying out biographical details of Sa¯mı¯, who kept his diary private for close to sixty years. One of a limited number of Palestinian diaries available to English-language readers, the diary of Sa¯mı¯ cAmr bridges significant chasms in our understanding of Middle Eastern, and particularly Palestinian, history.

Between 1890 and 1924, more than two million Jewish immigrants landed on America’s shores. The story of their integration into American society, as they traversed the difficult path between assimilation and retention of a unique cultural identity, is recorded in many works by American Hebrew writers. Red, Black, and Jew illuminates a unique and often overlooked aspect of these literary achievements, charting the ways in which the Native American and African American creative cultures served as a model for works produced within the minority Jewish community. Exploring the paradox of Hebrew literature in the United States, in which separateness, and engagement and acculturation, are equally strong impulses, Stephen Katz presents voluminous examples of a process that could ultimately be considered Americanization. Key components of this process, Katz argues, were poems and works of prose fiction written in a way that evoked Native American forms or African American folk songs and hymns. Such Hebrew writings presented America as a unified society that could assimilate all foreign cultures. At no other time in the history of Jews in diaspora have Hebrew writers considered the fate of other minorities to such a degree. Katz also explores the impact of the creation of the state of Israel on this process, a transformation that led to ambivalence in American Hebrew literature as writers were given a choice between two worlds. Reexamining long-neglected writers across a wide spectrum, Red, Black, and Jew celebrates an important chapter in the history of Hebrew belles lettres.

By Michael Löwy Introd uction by Donal d L aCoss An expanded edition of revered theorist Michael Löwy’s Morning Star: Marxism and Surrealism (previously published in French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and Greek) this masterwork collects the author’s essays on the ways in which surrealism intersected with a variety of revolutionary political approaches, ranging from utopian ideals to Marxism and situationism. Taking its title from André Breton’s essay “Arcane 17,” which casts the star as the searing firebrand of rebellion, Löwy’s provocative work spans many perspectives. These include surrealist artists who were deeply interested in Marxism and anarchism (Breton among them), as well as Marxists who were deeply interested in surrealism (Walter Benjamin in particular). Probing the dialectics of innovation, diversity, continuity, and unity throughout surrealism’s international presence, Morning Star also incorporates analyses of Claude Cahun, Guy Debord, Pierre Naville, José Carlos Mariátegui and others, accompanied by numerous reproductions of surrealist art. An extraordinarily rich collection, Morning Star promises to ignite new dialogues regarding the very nature of dissent.

Texas BBQ P h o t o g r a p h s b y W y a t t M c Sp a d d e n Fo re wo rd by Ji m Harr i s o n Es say by Jo hn M o rt h l an d

Destined to become a classic like Smokestack Lightning and Legends of Texas Barbecue Cookbook, Wyatt McSpadden’s Texas BBQ is the only large format, full-color photographic odyssey into the world of traditional barbecue To Texans, barbecue is elemental. Succulent, savory, perfumed with smoke and spice, it transcends the term “comfort food.” It’s downright heavenly, and it’s also a staff of Texas life. Like a dust storm or a downpour, barbecue is a force of Texas nature, a stalwart tie to the state’s cultural and culinary history. Though the word is often shortened to “BBQ,” the tradition of barbecue stands Texas-tall. Photographer Wyatt McSpadden has spent some twenty years documenting barbecue—specifically, the authentic family-owned cafes that are small-town mainstays. Traveling tens of thousands of miles, McSpadden has crisscrossed the state to visit scores of barbecue purveyors, from fabled sites like Kreuz’s in Lockhart to

“Wyatt McSpadden’s images of the world of Texas barbecue are so strong and evocative that they seem made of heat and smoke and flavor as much as of light and color. He is nothing less than a genius at summoning up the savory world of this most definitive of Lone Star food traditions.” —Colman Andrews

“It is incredibly refreshing to encounter a book of barbecue photographs that does not include neon signs of pigs, Confederate flags, or grinning hillbillies. . . . McSpadden restores some dignity to the field. . . .” —Robb Walsh author of Legends of Texas Barbecue Cookbook

WYATT M CSPADDEN Austin, Texas McSpadden’s photography—which has ranged from shooting ranch roundups and football games to capturing religion, race, medicine, crime, technology, and virtually every other aspect of Texas life—has appeared in scores of publications nationwide, most notably in Texas Monthly, where he is a contributing photographer.

remote spots like the Lazy H Smokehouse in Kirbyville. Color or black-and-white, wide angle or close up, his pictures convey the tradition and charm of barbecue. They allow the viewer to experience each place through all five senses. The shots of cooking meat and spiraling smoke make taste and smell almost tangible. McSpadden also captures the shabby appeal of the joints themselves, from huge, concretefloored dining halls to tiny, un-air-conditioned shacks. Most of all, McSpadden conveys the primal physicality of barbecue—the heat of fire, the heft of meat, the slickness of juices—and also records ubiquitous touches such as ancient scarred carving blocks, torn screen doors and peeling linoleum, and toothpicks in a recycled pepper sauce jar.

“When I first looked at Wyatt McSpadden’s photos I fancied that someone had given the soul of Edward Hopper a camera and sent —Jim Harrison him off to Texas.”

Texas’s King Ranch has become legendary for a long list of innovations, the most enduring of which is the development of the first official cattle breed in the Americas, the Santa Gertrudis. Among those who played a crucial role in the breed’s success were Librado and Alberto “Beto” Maldonado, master showmen of the King Ranch. A true “bull whisperer,” Librado Maldonado developed a method for gentling and training cattle that allowed him and his son Beto to show the Santa Gertrudis to their best advantage at venues ranging from the famous King Ranch auctions to a Chicago television studio to the Dallas–Fort Worth airport. In The Master Showmen of King Ranch, Beto Maldonado recalls an eventful life of training and showing King Ranch Santa Gertrudis. His reminiscences, which span more than seventy years of King Ranch history, combine with quotes from other Maldonado family members, coworkers, and ranch owners to shed light on many aspects of ranch life, including day-to-day work routines, family relations, women’s roles, annual celebrations, and the enduring ties between King Ranch owners and the vaquero families who worked on the ranch through several generations.

Biography, Music, Popular Culture

A book that spans many worlds, Bridger is both the story of one man’s artistic journey in creating a new art form and a revelatory overview of American popular culture since the 1950s

Bridger By Bobby Bridger Renowned for A Ballad of the West, his epic trilogy about the American West from the era of mountain man Jim Bridger to the closing of the frontier, Bobby Bridger has had a career in show business that spans the rockabilly-to-“Music City, USA” era in Nashville, the cosmic cowboy scene in Austin, the flowering of folk music, and even Broadway theater. His multifaceted talents have found expression in singing, acting, writing, painting, and sculpting. In this engrossing account of the personal and artistic journey that led him to create a new American art form, the epic ballad, Bridger touches on almost every major musical, entertainment, and cultural movement of the second half of the twentieth century, with a cast of characters that reads like a “Who’s Who” of American popular culture. Bridger’s story begins in a small town in northeast Louisiana, where he first experienced the twin attractions of painting and music. He recounts his early efforts to become a successful Nashville singersongwriter and his growing awareness that the commercial music business would never support his evolving desire to become a historical balladeer. Bridger recalls how his interest in folk music and folk ballads fired his ambition to tell the story of the American West. He movingly describes how this dream eventually became A Ballad of the West, an epic trilogy about Jim Bridger, the Lakota Sioux, and Buffalo Bill that has taken form in an acclaimed cycle of songs, a one-man show, books, full-cast stage performances, and other media.

“Catnip to women, much admired by men, the Fort Worth native cut a wide swath in his hard-living days. His writing, honed on newspaper deadlines, is direct, ironic, sending off splinters of light. To discover him now is to gain a friend for life, one who will make you laugh, snicker, and sigh even as shadows are falling.” — D a l l a s M o r n i n g N e w s

By H. Joaquin Jackson “Shrake has experienced a lot more of Texas in his 50-year career than most writers could imagine, and his writing has been equally varied, from pounding out police blotters to bringing New Journalism to the pages of Sports Illustrated, from long-form magazine essays to novels (Strange Peaches, Custer’s Brother’s Horse) to feature films, not to mention coauthoring Willie Nelson’s autobiography and the golfers’ bible, Harvey Penick’s Little Red Book. Land of the Permanent Wave brings all these streams together while folding in personal letters and fascinating excerpts from unproduced screenplays. The book reads more like an accidental autobiography than an introduction for the uninitiated, and one suspects that even if he didn’t [intend] that, he wasn’t — Au s t i n C h r o n i c l e exactly trying to get away from it, either.” “Great editors near and far revere Bud, and a foreword written by super Texan Larry L. King convinces that he is one of the best if you don’t already know it. . . . He just happens to be one of the best writers — L i z Sm i t h in America!” New York Post

The extremely varied geography of Texas, ranging from lush piney woods to arid, mountainous deserts, has played a major role in the settlement and development of the state. To gain full perspective on the influence of the land on the people of Texas, you really have to take to the air—and the authors of Historic Texas from the Air have done just that. In this beautiful book, dramatic aerial photography provides a complete panorama of seventy-three historic sites from around the state, showing them in extensive geographic context and revealing details unavailable to a ground-based observer. Each site in Historic Texas from the Air appears in a full-page color photograph, accompanied by a concise description of the site’s history and importance. Contemporary and historical photographs, vintage postcard images, and maps offer further visual information about the sites. The book opens with images of significant natural landforms, such as the Chisos Mountains and the Big Thicket, then shows the development of Texas history through Indian spiritual sites (including Caddo Mounds and Enchanted Rock), relics from the French and Spanish occupation (such as the wreck of the Belle and the Alamo), Anglo forts and methods of communication (including Fort Davis and Salado’s Stagecoach Inn), nineteeth-century settlements and industries (such as Granbury’s courthouse square and Kreische Brewery in La Grange), and significant twentieth-century locales (including Spindletop, the LBJ Ranch, and the Dallas–Fort Worth International Airport). For anyone seeking a visual, vital overview of Texas history, Historic Texas from the Air is the perfect place to begin. U n i v e r s i t y o f T e x a s P r e s s | Sp r i n g 2 0 0 9

Texas has about one hundred twenty native species and subspecies of snakes, fifteen of which are venomous. Since 1950, Texans have turned to the Poisonous Snakes of Texas pamphlet series published by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for help in identifying these snakes and for expert advice on preventing and treating snakebite. Venomous Snakes of Texas, a thoroughly revised and updated edition of Poisonous Snakes, carries on this tradition as a one-stop, all-you-need-to-know guide to Texas’s rattlesnakes, copperheads, cottonmouths, and coral snakes. In this authoritative field guide, you’ll find: • Full-color photographs and a county-by-county distribution map for each species. • Each species’ common and scientific name, description, look-alikes, and a summary sketch of its habitat, behavior, reproduction, venom characteristics, predator-prey relationships, and fossil record. • Up-to-date advice on recognizing venomous snakes and preventing and treating snakebite, both at home and in the field. • A glossary of terms and an extensive bibliography. A special feature of this guide is an expanded treatment of the ecological and evolutionary context in which venomous snakes live, which supports Price’s goal “to lessen the hatred and fear and to increase the understanding, the respect, and even the appreciation with which venomous snakes should be regarded.”

Duchess of Palms

The Power of the Texas Governor

A Memoir

Connally to Bush

By Nadine Eckhardt

By Brian McCall Foreword by Wil l iam P. Hobby, Jr .

NADINE EC KHARDT Austin, Texas Eckhardt has worked in politics and journalism, lobbied, sold real estate, and run restaurants. Now retired, she continues to enjoy life as a writer, mother, and grandmother. Duchess of Palms is her first book.

re l e a s e dat e | m a rc h 5½ x 8½ inches, 152 pages, 40 b&w photos

Child of the Great Depression, teenage “Duchess of Palms” beauty queen, wife of an acclaimed novelist and later of a brilliant U.S. congressman, and ultimately a successful single working woman and mother, Nadine Eckhardt has lived a fascinating life. In this unique, funny, and honest memoir, she recounts her journey from being a “fifties girl” who lived through the men in her life to becoming a woman in her own right, working toward her own goals. Eckhardt’s first marriage to writer Billy Lee Brammer gave her entrée to liberal political and literary circles in Austin and Washington, where she and Brammer both worked for Senator Lyndon B. Johnson. She describes the heady excitement of LBJ’s world—a milieu that Brammer vividly captured in his novel The Gay Place. She next recalls her second marriage to Bob Eckhardt, whom she helped get elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, as well as her growing involvement with the counterculture of social protest, sexual revolution, and drug use. Eckhardt honestly recounts how the changing times changed her perception of herself, recalling that “I didn’t know how to achieve for myself, only for others, and I felt ripped off and empty.” This painful realization opened the door to a new life for Eckhardt. Her memoir concludes with a joyful description of her multifaceted later life as a restaurateur, assistant to Molly Ivins, writer, and center of a wide circle of friends.

George W. Bush called it “the best job in the world,” yet many would argue that the Texas governorship is a weak office. Given few enumerated powers by the Texas Constitution, the governor must build a successful relationship with the state legislature—sometimes led by a powerful lieutenant governor or speaker of the opposing party—to advance his or her policy agenda. Yet despite the limitations on the office and the power of the legislative branch, many governors have had a significant impact on major aspects of Texas’s public life—government, economic development, education, and insurance reform among them. How do Texas governors gain the power to govern effectively? The Power of the Texas Governor takes a fresh look at the state’s chief executives, from John Connally to George W. Bush, to discover how various governors have overcome the institutional limitations of the office. Delving into the governors’ election campaigns and successes and failures in office, Brian McCall makes a convincing case that the strength of a governor’s personality—in particular, his or her highly developed social skills—can translate into real political power. He shows, for example, how governors such as Ann Richards and George W. Bush forged personal relationships with individual legislators to achieve their policy goals. Filled with revealing insights and anecdotes from key players in each administration, The Power of the Texas Governor offers new perspectives on leadership and valuable lessons on the use of power.

An entirely new kind of travel book—boxed sets of cards that guide you to the unique and memorable places that give Austin and Fort Worth their distinctive characters

There aren’t many houses like this: the short list begins with Jefferson’s Monticello and continues through Sir John Soane’s 1812-1813 house in London, and on to Frank Lloyd Wright’s two Taliesins, Philip Johnson’s Glass House and Frank Gehry’s house in Santa Monica, all buildings that carry an importance in the history of architecture that far outweighs their size. —Paul Goldberger, The New York Times

Places—buildings, neighborhoods, landmarks, and cultural and commercial institutions—help define a city’s unique character, its “sense of place.” This is the key concept behind Placenotes, a wholly new type of travel book that features the “one of a kind” places that make a city distinctive. These sets of Placenotes guide you to places where you can experience the authentic culture of Austin and Fort Worth. For visitors, these are the must-see places. For residents, Placenotes offers the perfect opportunity to become deeply acquainted with the places that distinguish their city from all others—an opportunity to invest in the life of the place. Not a conventional travel book, Placenotes is a set of individual cards that describe unique places in the city. The front of each card has a color photograph that captures the spirit of a particular place. The back of the card tells the story of the place, often with commentary by a local expert. It also provides all the practical details you need to plan your visit. A map, index of places, and key to symbols comes in the set. The cards are contained in a sturdy box with a lid that snaps shut with invisible magnets.

Any attempt to grasp the scale of the grasslands that once spanned the American continent, particularly in the great sweep of territory east of the Rocky Mountains, is prone to failure, since the transformation of this ecosystem into farms, ranches, suburbs, and cities has been nearly total. But in the grasslands that remain, we can learn how eons of ecological layering created fantastically deep strata of soil, held in place against tides of powerful wind and water by the countless roots. It was this delicate balance, that when torn and disrupted by the blades of plows and parched by cyclical drought, unleashed the soil into giant dust storms, further damaging countless millions of acres and ruining a generation’s hopes.

When we think of national parks we often imagine primeval forests or dramatic canyons, but the National Grasslands are seventeen fragments of rolling prairies, encompassing nearly four million acres in states from Texas to North Dakota. The LBJ and Caddo Grasslands are the two southernmost, spanning areas north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.

When Robert Cavelier, sieur de La Salle, landed on the Texas coast in 1685, bent on founding a French colony, his enterprise was doomed to failure. Not only was he hundreds of miles from his intended landfall—the mouth of the Mississippi—but his supply ship, Aimable, was wrecked at the mouth of Matagorda Bay, leaving the colonists with scant provisions and little protection against local Indian tribes. In anger and disgust, he struck out at the ship’s captain, Claude Aigron, accusing him of wrecking the vessel purposely and maliciously. Captain Aigron and his crew escaped the doomed colony by returning to France on the warship that had escorted the expedition on its ocean crossing. Soon after reaching France, Aigron found himself defendant in a civil suit filed by two of his officers seeking recompense for lost salary and personal effects, and then imprisoned on order of King Louis XIV while La Salle’s more serious accusations were being investigated. In this book, Robert Weddle meticulously recounts, through court documents, the known history of Aigron and the Aimable, and finds that despite La Salle’s fervent accusations, the facts of the case offer no clear indictment. The court documents, deftly translated by François Lagarde, reveal Captain Aigron’s successful defense and illuminate the circumstances of the wreck with Aigron’s testimony. Much is also revealed about the French legal system and how the sea laws of the period were applied through the French government’s L’Ordonnance de la Marine.
