Historians reflect on photographs
from the Civil War
“The pioneering cameramen of the Civil War wrought shocking images that stir
and haunt us still. Lens of War is likewise groundbreaking, an album of essays that
mines 1860s photographs for new insight into the war and its memory. Images
I’ve stared at since boyhood—and others I’d never seen—come into fresh focus
through the scholarly yet personal gaze of leading historians. This revelatory and
highly readable book will captivate new and longtime students of the Civil War
alike.”—Tony Horwitz, author of Confederates in the Attic and Midnight Rising: John
Brown and the Raid That Sparked the Civil War
“This book changes the way we see the American Civil War. By looking intently
at photographs­—some familiar and some rarely seen—these expert interpreters
reveal aspects of the war visible in no other way. The elegant essays, like the
images they examine, are windows into fascinating lives.”—Edward L. Ayers,
President, University of Richmond

“A family in camp.” Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, reproduction number LC-DIG-cwpd-04324.
Lens of War grew out of an invitation to
leading historians of the Civil War to select
and reflect upon a single photograph. Each
could choose any image and interpret it in
personal and scholarly terms. The result is
a remarkable set of essays by twenty-seven
scholars whose numerous volumes on the
Civil War have explored military, cultural,
political, African American, women’s, and
environmental history.
The essays describe a wide array of photographs and present an eclectic approach to
the assignment, organized by topic: Leaders, Soldiers, Civilians, Victims, and Places.
Readers will rediscover familiar photographs
and figures examined in unfamiliar ways, as
well as discover little-known photographs
that afford intriguing perspectives. All the
images are reproduced with exquisite care.
Readers fascinated by the Civil War will
want this unique book on their shelves, and
lovers of photography will value the images
and the creative, evocative reflections offered
in these essays.

the cruel country
Judith Ortiz Cofer
A writer’s journey deep into the
cruel country of bereavement
“Judith Ortiz Cofer has done it again: let us into her life and her heart,
brilliantly. A must-read for anyone who has lost a parent or straddled two
cultures, The Cruel Country is a wise and generous memoir of exile, love, and
homecoming.”—Joy Castro, author of Island of Bones
“How do we deal with loss? What motivates us to reflect on transience?
Judith Ortiz Cofer offers some answers in her marvelous disquisition on pain
in this, her best book.”—Ilan Stavans, author of On Borrowed Words and editor
of The Norton Anthology of Latino Literature
“I am learning the alchemy of grief—how it
must be carefully measured and doled out,
inflicted—but I have not yet mastered this
art,” writes Judith Ortiz Cofer in The Cruel
Country. This richly textured, deeply moving,
lyrical memoir centers on Cofer’s return to
her native Puerto Rico after her mother has
been diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer.
Cofer’s work has always drawn strength
from her life’s contradictions and dualities,
such as the necessities and demands of both
English and Spanish, her travels between and
within various mainland and island subcultures, and the challenges of being a Latina
living in the U.S. South. Interlaced with these
far-from-common tensions are dualities we
all share: our lives as both sacred and profane,
our negotiation of both child and adult roles,
our desires to be the person who belongs and
also the person who is different.
What we discover in The Cruel Country is
how much Cofer has heretofore held back in
her vivid and compelling writing. This journey to her mother’s deathbed has released her
to tell the truth within the truth. She arrives at
her mother’s bedside as a daughter overcome
by grief, but she navigates this cruel country
as a writer—an acute observer of detail, a
relentless and insistent questioner.

alone atop the hill
The Autobiography of Alice Dunnigan,
Pioneer of the National Black Press
Edited by Carol McCabe Booker
Foreword by Simeon Booker
The powerful life and times of the first black woman to
break into the national press corps in Washington, D.C.
“Alone Atop the Hill is a poignant and revealing account of Alice Dunnigan’s life from her
childhood in rural poverty to her adulthood in education and journalism. The narrative casts
valuable light on the politics of race prior to the emergence of the civil rights movement.
From start to finish I was drawn into Dunnigan’s stories, both personal and political.”
—Eric Arnesen, professor of history, George Washington University
“Thanks to Carol Booker for bringing to light this marvelously documented life of Alice
Dunnigan, who shattered racial and gender barriers as chief of the Associated Negro Press
Bureau in Washington. In straightforward prose, Dunnigan gives the reader an unflinching
look at how she persevered and how the Negro press kept civil rights before the public
through the forties and fifties, preparing the way for when white America began to wake
up. This is an honest history of the black experience from a woman whose first-person
encounters with Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy, too, lift the curtain and
inform our understanding of how race played out then at the highest levels of government.”
—Eleanor Clift, Daily Beast correspondent and McLaughlin Group panelist
In 1942 Alice Allison Dunnigan, a sharecropper’s daughter from Kentucky, made her way to
the nation’s capitol and a career in journalism
that eventually led her to the White House.
With Alone atop the Hill, Carol McCabe Booker
has condensed Dunnigan’s 1974 self-published
autobiography to appeal to a general audience and has added scholarly annotations
that provide historical context. Dunnigan’s
dynamic story reveals her importance to the
fields of journalism, women’s history, and the
civil rights movement and creates a compelling
portrait of a groundbreaking American.
Dunnigan recounts her formative years in
rural Kentucky as she struggled for a living,
telling bluntly and simply what life was like in
a Border State in the first half of the twentieth
century. Later she takes readers to Washington,
D.C., where we see her rise from a typist
during World War II to a reporter. Ultimately
she would become the first black female reporter accredited to the White House; to
travel with a U.S. president; credentialed by
the House and Senate Press Galleries; accredited to the Department of State and the
Supreme Court; voted into the White House
Newswomen’s Association and the Women’s
National Press Club; and recognized as a
Washington sports reporter.
A contemporary of Helen Thomas and a
forerunner of Ethel Payne, Dunnigan traveled
with President Truman on his coast-to-coast,
whistle-stop tour; was the first reporter to
query President Eisenhower about civil rights;
and provided front-page coverage for more
than one hundred black newspapers of virtu-
ally every race issue before the Congress, the
federal courts, and the presidential administration. Here she provides an uninhibited,
unembellished, and unvarnished look at the
terrain, the players, and the politics in a roughand-tumble national capital struggling to
make its way through a nascent, postwar racial
revolution.
carol mccabe booker is a former journalist and Washington, D.C., attorney. She is
coauthor with her husband, journalist Simeon
Booker, of the highly acclaimed history Shocking the Conscience: A Reporter’s Account of the
Civil Rights Movement.

A Wormsloe Foundation Nature Book
The most comprehensive study to date of
Mark Catesby, his work, and his continuing
impact—includes significant new information
discovered by the authors
“The Curious Mister Catesby is an absorbing blend of early colonial history in the
American Southeast and the Bahamas, with the rich fauna and flora the settlers
freshly contained. Catesby emerges as one of the first true naturalists of the New
World.”—E. O. Wilson, University Professor Emeritus of Entomology, Harvard
University
“Mark Catesby, the English naturalist and artist, as well as his considerable
accomplishments, is given new life in this well-written, multiauthored account.
Emphasis is placed on Catesby’s travels in North America that led to his
monumental volumes on the flora and fauna of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahamas.
The book is an important addition to the library of the history of the natural
history of colonial America.”—William D. Anderson Jr., professor of marine
biology, Grice Marine Biological Laboratory, College of Charleston
In 1712, English naturalist Mark Catesby
(1683–1749) crossed the Atlantic to Virginia.
After a seven-year stay, he returned to England with paintings of plants and animals he
had studied. They sufficiently impressed other
naturalists that in 1722 several Fellows of the
Royal Society sponsored his return to North
America. There Catesby cataloged the flora
and fauna of the Carolinas and the Bahamas
by gathering seeds and specimens, compiling
notes, and making watercolor sketches. Going
home to England after five years, he began the
twenty-year task of writing, etching, and publishing his monumental The Natural History
of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands.
Mark Catesby was a man of exceptional
courage and determination combined with
insatiable curiosity and multiple talents.
Nevertheless no portrait of him is known.
The international contributors to this volume
review Catesby’s biography alongside the historical and scientific significance of his work.
Ultimately, this lavishly illustrated volume
advances knowledge of Catesby’s explorations, collections, artwork, and publications
in order to reassess his importance within the
pantheon of early naturalists.

Landscapes Inspired by Bartram’s Travels

Landscapes that offer a glimpse of the
Southeast before European settlement
“If I could live inside Juras’s paintings, I would. Surrounded by flora and
fauna, light and darkness, the weather. Enlightened. In touch with God.
Inside God’s hand.”—Janisse Ray, from the book
“Works that are grand in scope but intimate in their attention to even
a single blade of grass.”—Garden & Gun
“Knowing what has been lost, we might be tempted to wallow in
nostalgia for the long-gone world Bartram describes. Instead, reading
the great gift of Bartram’s words and viewing these landscapes by Philip
Juras should heighten our commitment to saving what remains.”
—Dorinda G. Dallmeyer, from the book
“Philip Juras can see ghosts. Not the wandering spirits of people long
gone, but the ancient landscapes of the Southeast—the forests and
plains and marshes—as they appeared before civilization changed
everything.”—Augusta Chronicle
These stunning reproductions of more than
sixty oil paintings by landscape artist Philip
Juras offer a glimpse of the pre-European
settlement southern wilderness as late
eighteenth-century naturalist William
Bartram would have experienced it during his
famed travels through the region. Juras spent
years researching Bartram and revisiting
important sites the naturalist wrote about in
his celebrated Travels. The paintings combine
direct observation with historical, scientific,
and natural history research to depict, and in
some cases reimagine, landscapes as they appeared in the 1770s.
Juras’s work explores many of the important and imperiled ecosystems that remain in
the South today. These little-known, remnant
natural communities are further illuminated
by essays placing them in the context of Bartram’s legacy and the American landscape
movement. Here is a rare glimpse of the
southern frontier before it was irrevocably
altered by European settlement.
philip juras, a native of Augusta, Georgia,
received a BFA and a master’s degree in landscape architecture from the University
of Georgia. He lives in Athens, Georgia.

Local recipes from the worldly South
“It’s as much Americana as cookbook, an effort to preserve a vanishing
part of our culture. Either way, it’s an instant classic.”—Time
“The Southern Foodways Alliance Community Cookbook is a tribute to standards
of the Southern table as well as a showcase for the delicious handiwork of
some notable contemporary chefs.”—Atlanta Journal-Constitution
“So why are we excited about yet another Southern cookbook? By sourcing
recipes from spiral-bound community cookbooks and then testing and
adapting them for modern kitchens, this collection of recipes has the potential
to become the standard reference on the topic. Add to that the research
power of the Southern Foodways Alliance and its director John T. Edge, and
this book could be unstoppable.”—Eater.com
Everybody has one in their collection. You
know—those old, spiral- or plastic-toothbound cookbooks sold to support a high school
marching band, a church, or the local chapter
of the Junior League. These recipe collections
reflect, with unimpeachable authenticity, the
dishes that define communities: chicken and
dumplings, macaroni and cheese, chess pie.
When the Southern Foodways Alliance began
curating a cookbook, these spiral-bound,
sauce-splattered pages served as a model.
Now in paperback for the first time and
including more than 170 tested recipes,
this cookbook is a true reflection of southern foodways and the people, regardless of
residence or birthplace, who claim this food
as their own. Traditional and adapted, fancy
and unapologetically plain, these recipes are
powerful expressions of collective identity.
There is something from—and something
for—everyone. The recipes and the stories
that accompany them came from academics, writers, catfish farmers, ham curers,
attorneys, toqued chefs, and people who just
like to cook—spiritual southerners of myriad
ethnicities, origins, and culinary skill levels.
Edited by Sara Roahen and John T. Edge
and written collaboratively by Sheri Castle,
Timothy C. Davis, April McGreger, Angie
Mosier, and Fred Sauceman, the book is
divided into chapters that represent the
region’s iconic foods: Gravy, Garden Goods,
Roots, Greens, Rice, Grist, Yardbird, Pig, The
Hook, The Hunt, Put Up, and Cane. Herein
you’ll find recipes for pimento cheese, country ham with redeye gravy, tomato pie, oyster
stew, gumbo z’herbes, and apple stack cake.
You’ll learn traditional ways of preserving
green beans, and you’ll come to love refried
black-eyed peas.

to live and dine in dixie
The Evolution of Urban Food Culture in the Jim Crow South
Angela Jill Cooley
How cultural notions contributed to the
racial segregation of cafés and restaurants
in the American South
“I cannot overstate how useful it is that Cooley is trained both as a cultural historian
and as a lawyer. The richness of analysis in To Live and Dine in Dixie comes from
the interplay of methodologies from both fields. Few other scholars can bring such
research tools to the subject.”—Elizabeth Engelhardt, author of ​A Mess of Greens:
Southern Gender and Southern Food
“To Live and Dine in Dixie is an important addition to the canon of southern history
and food studies.”—Marcie Cohen Ferris, author of T
​ he Edible South: The Power of
Food and the Making of an American Region
This book explores the changing food culture
of the urban American South during the Jim
Crow era by examining how race, ethnicity,
class, and gender contributed to the development and maintenance of racial segregation
in public eating places. Focusing primarily
on the 1900s to the 1960s, Angela Jill Cooley
identifies the cultural differences between
activists who saw public eating places like
urban lunch counters as sites of political
participation and believed access to such
spaces a right of citizenship, and white supremacists who interpreted desegregation as
a challenge to property rights and advocated
local control over racial issues.
Significant legal changes occurred across
this period as the federal government sided
at first with the white supremacists but later
supported the unprecedented progress of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which—among
other things—required desegregation of the
nation’s restaurants. Because the culture of
white supremacy that contributed to racial
segregation in public accommodations began
in the white southern home, Cooley also explores domestic eating practices in nascent
southern cities and reveals how the most
private of activities—cooking and dining—
became a cause for public concern from the
meeting rooms of local women’s clubs to the
halls of the U.S. Congress.
angela jill cooley is an assistant profes-
sor of history at Minnesota State University,

An Intimate Natural History of Coastal Georgia
Evelyn B. Sherr
An invitingly readable guided tour of
the flora, fauna, and landscape of the
distinctive Georgia coast
“Marsh Mud and Mummichogs is a motivating introduction to the natural
history of coastal Georgia. It is perhaps the most in-depth yet friendly natural
history that I have ever read, and the scope will expand the knowledge and
understanding of everyone with an interest in the coast.”—Clay L. Montague,
Associate Professor Emeritus of Ecology, University of Florida
“This book,” writes marine biologist Evelyn
B. Sherr, “is meant to give others an understanding of the fascinating life of the region,
from the smallest creatures in marsh mud
and estuarine water, to the mummichogs and
multitudes of other animals that find food
and shelter in the vast expanses of marsh
grass, in the sounds, and along the beaches of
the Georgia Isles.” Sherr not only spent years
doing research in coastal Georgia, she began
her family there. Although Sherr’s career
would take her around the world, this special
place stuck with her. Here she shares her deep
knowledge of the remarkable environment
that she, her scientist husband, and their two
children explored time and again.
Dr. Sherr is the ideal companion with
whom to discover coastal Georgia. She points
out its swimming, running, flying, drifting, and wriggling wildlife—and tells how it
all exists in balance in a landscape subject
to its own daily ebbs and flows, its own
seasonal cycles. As we learn about Georgia’s
distinctive intertidal salt marshes, subtidal
estuaries, and open beaches and dunes, Sherr
reveals the creatures that support—and are
supported by—these habitats: the microbes
in estuarine water and in marsh mud; the
zooplankton swarming in the tidal rivers and
sounds; and numerous fish, reptiles, birds,
and mammals.
This engaging and curiosity-rousing book
blends scientific fact with a timely conservation message and anecdotes of a family’s
encounters with nature.
evelyn b. sherr, an emeritus professor
of oceanic and atmospheric sciences at
Oregon State University, has published
widely in the fields of ocean ecology and
biogeochemistry. She was a research
scientist at the University of Georgia
Marine Institute from 1974 to 1990.

Florida’s Coastal Islands in a Gulf of Change
Susan Cerulean
A moving, personal look at a fragile landscape
“In Coming to Pass, Susan Cerulean shows us the Florida coastal system with
passion and insight. But she also has a lovely presence on the page—the kind
of which I never tire. It’s easy to see why she so loves that landscape and
seascape, because she brings them so alive.”—Jan DeBlieu, author of Wind:
How the Flow of Air Has Shaped Life, Myth, and the Land, winner of the John
Burroughs Medal for distinguished natural history writing
“Sad, hopeful, earthly. Sue Cerulean’s memories of sea and shore touch off a
range of emotions. The eloquence of her words enthralls, and we should heed
them. They belong to an unassailable voice that has long called for honoring
life that gives us ours. Hers is the voice of our time and destiny.”
—Jack E. Davis, author of An Everglades Providence: Marjory Stoneman Douglas
and the American Environmental Century
Coming to Pass tells the story of a littledeveloped necklace of northern Gulf Coast
islands. Both a field guide to a beloved and
impermanent Florida landscape and a call
for its protection, Susan Cerulean’s memoir
chronicles the uniquely beautiful coast as it
once was, as it is now, and as it may be as the
sea level rises.
For decades, Cerulean has kayaked, hiked,
and counted birds on and around Dog, the St.
Georges, and St. Vincent Islands with family
and friends. She has collected scallops, snorkeled over a fallen lighthouse a mile offshore,
and cast nets and fishing lines into cyclical
runs of mullet and shrimp.
Like most people, she didn’t know how
the islands had come to be or understand the
large-scale change coming to the coast. With

the three governors controversy
Skullduggery, Machinations, and the Decline
of Georgia’s Progressive Politics
Charles S. Bullock III, Scott E. Buchanan,
and Ronald Keith Gaddie
A rousing account of a watershed event
in American politics
“The Three Governors Controversy is a compelling narrative of the widespread notoriety
engendered by Georgia’s 1946 election and its aftermath. This history reveals the
underlying conflicts of the succession battle by bringing together a careful analysis of
the politics of the period with an array of popular and scholarly accounts.”
—Timothy J. Crimmins, coauthor of Democracy Restored: A History of the
Georgia State Capitol
“At last we have a comprehensive analysis of one of the most colorful episodes
in the rich annals of southern political history. Bullock, Buchanan, and Gaddie
have succeeded not only in telling an oft-told tale from a fresh yet still thoroughly
engaging perspective but also in sorting out its various immediate and long-term
implications. This book will be essential reading for scholars and simply irresistible
to southern politics junkies.”—James C. Cobb, Spalding Distinguished Professor,
Department of History, University of Georgia
The death of Georgia governor-elect Eugene
Talmadge in late 1946 launched a constitutional crisis that ranks as one of the most
unusual political events in U.S. history: the
state had three active governors at once, each
claiming that he was the true elected official.
This is the first full-length examination
of that episode, which wasn’t just a crazy
quirk of Georgia politics (though it was that)
but the decisive battle in a struggle between
the state’s progressive and rustic forces that
had continued since the onset of the Great
Depression. In 1946, rural forces aided by the
county unit system, Jim Crow intimidation
of black voters, and the Talmadge machine’s
“loyal 100,000” voters united to claim the
governorship.
In the aftermath, progressive political
forces in Georgia would shrink into obscurity for the better part of a generation. In
this volume is the story of how the political,
governmental, and Jim Crow social institutions not only defeated Georgia’s progressive
forces but forestalled their effectiveness for a
decade and a half.

empty sleeves
Amputation in the Civil War South
Brian Craig Miller
How amputation influenced definitions of
manhood, allowing dependency to be recognized
as part of southern masculinity
The Civil War acted like a battering ram on
human beings, shattering both flesh and
psyche of thousands of soldiers. Despite popular perception that doctors recklessly erred
on the side of amputation, surgeons labored
mightily to adjust to the medical quagmire of
war. And as Brian Craig Miller shows in
Empty Sleeves, the hospital emerged as the
first arena where southerners faced the stark
reality of what amputation would mean for
men and women and their respective positions in southern society after the war. Thus,
southern women, through nursing and benevolent care, prepared men for the challenges of
returning home defeated and disabled.
Still, amputation was a stark fact for
many soldiers. On their return, southern
amputees remained dependent on their
spouses, peers, and dilapidated state governments to reconstruct their shattered manhood and meet the challenges brought on by
their newfound disabilities. It was in this
context that Confederate patients based their
medical care decisions on how comrades,
families, and society would view the empty
sleeve. In this highly original and deeply researched work, Miller explores the ramifications of amputation on the Confederacy both
during and after the Civil War and sheds light
on how dependency and disability reshaped
southern society.
brian craig miller is associate professor
of history at Emporia State University. He is
the forthcoming editor of the journal Civil
War History and the author of John Bell Hood

eighty-eight years
The Long Death of Slavery in the United States, 1777–1865
Patrick Rael
A fresh look at the demise of slavery in the United
States and why it took longer here than anywhere
else in the Atlantic world
“Patrick Rael’s elegant prose wisely tells this narrative from a number of
perspectives. Like all smart social historians, Rael understands that power cannot
be ignored, and politicians on both sides of the Civil War are given voice in this
important work.”—Douglas R. Egerton, author of ​Year of Meteors: Stephen Douglas,
Abraham Lincoln, and the Election that Brought on the Civil War
Why did it take so long to end slavery in the
United States, and what did it mean that the
nation existed eighty-eight years as a “house divided against itself,” as Abraham Lincoln put it?
The decline of slavery throughout the Atlantic
world was a protracted affair, says Patrick Rael,
but no other nation endured anything like the
United States. Here the process took from 1777,
when Vermont wrote slavery out of its state
constitution, to 1865, when the Thirteenth
Amendment abolished slavery nationwide.
Rael immerses readers in the mix of social,
geographic, economic, and political factors
that shaped this unique American experience. He not only takes a far longer view of
slavery’s demise than do those who date it
to the rise of abolitionism in 1831, he also
places it in a broader Atlantic context. We
see how slavery ended variously by consent
or force across time and place and how views
on slavery evolved differently between the
centers of European power and their colonial
peripheries—some of which would become
power centers themselves.
Rael shows how African Americans
played the central role in ending slavery in the
United States. Fueled by new Revolutionary
ideals of self-rule and universal equality—and
on their own or alongside abolitionists—both
slaves and free blacks slowly turned Ameri-
can opinion against the slave interests in the
South. Secession followed, and then began
the national bloodbath that would demand
slavery’s complete destruction.

Black Protest in the Antebellum North and

How William and Ellen Craft’s escape from
slavery, their activism, and press accounts
figured during the antislavery movement of
the mid-1800s and Reconstruction
“Barbara McCaskill’s new book should be read by everyone interested in the spectacular
story of the self-emancipating Crafts—one of antebellum America’s most compelling
stories of bondage and of memory. McCaskill brilliantly builds on her edition of the Crafts’
Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom with new details gleaned from meticulous research.
Love, Liberation, and Escaping Slavery illuminates McCaskill’s exemplary archival excavations
into the lives of Ellen, William, their community of renowned formerly enslaved authors and
activists, the whites who obstructed their life’s journeys and those who helped clear their
paths, and ultimately, the Crafts’ outstanding progeny.”—Joycelyn Moody, Sue E. Denman
Distinguished Chair in American Literature at the University of Texas at San Antonio
“Barbara McCaskill demonstrates that the Crafts’ life and famous story reveal a great
deal about how transatlantic literature, culture, and history have been managed and
misrepresented over the years. This valuable and revealing history is the go-to study for
anyone interested in the Crafts.”—John Ernest, author of A Nation within a Nation: Organizing
African-American Communities before the Civil War
The spectacular 1848 escape of William and
Ellen Craft (1824–1900; 1826–1891) from
slavery in Macon, Georgia, is a dramatic story
in the annals of American history. Ellen, who
could pass for white, disguised herself as a
gentleman slaveholder; William accompanied her as his “master’s” devoted slave valet;
both traveled openly by train, steamship,
and carriage to arrive in free Philadelphia on
Christmas Day. In Love, Liberation, and Escaping Slavery, Barbara McCaskill revisits this
dual escape and examines the collaborations
and partnerships that characterized the Crafts’
activism for the next thirty years: in Boston,
where they were on the run again after the passage of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Law; in England;
and in Reconstruction-era Georgia. McCaskill
also provides a close reading of the Crafts’ only
book, their memoir, Running a Thousand Miles
for Freedom, published in 1860.
Yet as this study of key moments in the
Crafts’ public lives argues, the early print
archive—newspapers, periodicals, pamphlets,
legal documents—fills gaps in their story by
providing insight into how they navigated
the challenges of freedom as reformers and
educators, and it discloses the transatlantic
British and American audiences’ changing
reactions to them. By discussing such events
as the 1878 court case that placed William’s
character and reputation on trial, this book
also invites readers to reconsider the Crafts’
triumphal story as one that is messy, unresolved, and bittersweet. An important episode
in African American literature, history, and
culture, this will be essential reading for
teachers and students of the slave narrative
genre and the transatlantic antislavery movement and for researchers investigating early
American print culture.

of English and codirector of the Civil Rights
Digital Library at the University of Georgia.

The New Southern Studies
sounding the color line
Music and Race in the Southern Imagination
Erich Nunn
Gauging segregation’s impact on
understandings of twentieth-century
American music and culture
“Sounding the Color Line is an important contribution that adds to our
understanding of southern literature, culture, identity studies, and American
popular music.”—Barbara Ching, author of Wrong’s What I Do Best: Hard
Country Music and Contemporary Culture​
Sounding the Color Line explores how competing understandings of the U.S. South in the
first decades of the twentieth century have led
us to experience musical forms, sounds, and
genres in racialized contexts. Yet, though we
may speak of white or black music, rock or rap,
sounds constantly leak through such barriers.
A critical disjuncture exists, then, between
actual interracial musical and cultural forms
on the one hand and racialized structures of
feeling on the other. This is nowhere more
apparent than in the South.
Like Jim Crow segregation, the separation of musical forms along racial lines has
required enormous energy to maintain.
How, asks Nunn, did the protocols structur-
ing listeners’ racial associations arise? How
have they evolved and been maintained in
the face of repeated transgressions of the
musical color line? Considering the South as
the imagined ground where conflicts of racial
and national identities are staged, this book
looks at developing ideas concerning folk song
and racial and cultural nationalism alongside
the competing and sometimes contradictory
workings of an emerging culture industry.
Drawing on a diverse archive of musical
recordings, critical artifacts, and literary texts,
Nunn reveals how the musical color line has
not only been established and maintained
but also repeatedly crossed, fractured, and
reformed. This push and pull—between
segregationist cultural logics and music’s
disrespect of racially defined boundaries—is
an animating force in twentieth-century
American popular culture.

An International Environmental Justice Reader
Edited by Elizabeth Ammons and Modhumita Roy
Writings from around the world to inspire­—and
challenge—us to work for positive change
The first of its kind, this anthology of eighty
international primary literary texts—poems,
short stories, personal essays, testimonials,
activist statements, and group-authored visions—illuminates Environmental Justice as
a concept and a movement worldwide in a way
that is accessible to students, scholars, and
general readers. Also included are historical
selections that ground contemporary pieces
in a continuum of activist concern for the
earth and human justice, a much-needed but
seldom available perspective.
Arts and humanities are crucial in the
ongoing effort to achieve an ecologically sustainable and just world. Works of the human
imagination provide analyses, articulations
of experience, and positive visions of the future that no amount of statistics, data, charts,
or graphs can offer because literature speaks
not only to the intellect but also to our emotions. Creative literary work, which records
human experience both past and present,
has the power to warn, to persuade, and to
inspire. Each is critical in the shared struggle
for Environmental Justice.

Bright Lights and Country Music
Paul Hemphill
Foreword by Don Cusic
The culture clash in Music City
“The best book ever written about country music.”—Chicago Sun-Times
“A first-rate book . . . that reads as smoothly and sparklingly as a bluegrass
breakdown.”—Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times
“All these years later, the Prologue [‘Friday Night at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge’]
reads as though it happened last night.”—Country Music magazine
“A rich, raw slice of American life.”—Los Angeles Times
“It’s the first ‘real’ book written about our music. The people, the songs, the
places, all come to life in these pages.”—Bill Anderson, singer, songwriter, and
Grand Ole Opry star
While on a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard,
journalist and novelist Paul Hemphill wrote of
that pivotal moment in the late sixties when
traditional defenders of the hillbilly roots of
country music were confronted by the new
influences and business realities of pop music.
The demimonde of the traditional Nashville
venues (Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, Robert’s
Western World, and the Ryman Auditorium)
and first-wave artists (Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubb,
and Lefty Frizzell) are shown coming into
first contact, if not conflict, with a new wave
of pop-influenced and business savvy country
performers (Jeannie C. “Harper Valley PTA”
Riley, Johnny Ryles, and Glen Campbell) and
rock performers (Bob Dylan, Gram Parsons,
the Byrds, and the Grateful Dead) as they took
the form well beyond Music City. Originally
published in 1970, The Nashville Sound shows
the resulting identity crisis as a fascinating,
even poignant, moment in country music and
entertainment history.
paul hemphill (1936–2009) was born in
Birmingham, Alabama, and attended Auburn
and Harvard Universities. In addition to long
work as a sportswriter and columnist at the
Atlanta Journal, he was the author of several
collections of journalism, novels, and memoirs, including, among others, Too Old to Cry
(1981), King of the Road (1989), and Leaving
Birmingham: Notes of a Native Son (1993).
Hemphill returned to country music in 2005
with Lovesick Blues: The Life of Hank Williams. Hemphill served on the faculties
of Emory University, Brenau University,
and the University of Georgia, where he
taught writing.
don cusic is a historian of country music
and a professor of music business at the Mike
Curb College of Entertainment and Music
Business at Belmont University. His many

The Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction
the invisibles
Stories by Hugh Sheehy
Winner of the Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction
Stories that illuminate the all-but-silent note of
adult loneliness and how we cope with it or,
perhaps, just move past it
“A little violence goes a long way and the lurking fear at the heart of these stories
elevates them beyond the merely promising to reveal a wicked new talent.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Fresh yet deeply knowing . . . In his flawless, fluid, droll, and suspenseful tales
of deceptively routine lives, Sheehy dramatizes loneliness, terror, and loss with
arresting restraint, focusing on the percussive aftermath of violence. A writer of
evocative subtlety and uncanny power . . . Sheehy reveals what’s hidden in plain
sight to clarion effect.”—Booklist (starred review)
“Left behind, the characters in The Invisibles try to make sense of what remains. . . .
You’ll remember them all—Sheehy’s finely crafted genre-bending mash-up of
thrillers, fairy tales, realism and children’s stories makes sure of it.”
—Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Though Hugh Sheehy’s often tragic, sometimes gruesome stories feature bloodied
knives and mysterious disappearances, at the
heart of these thoughtful thrillers are finely
crafted character studies of people who wrestle with the darker aspects of human nature—
grief, violence, loneliness, and the thoughts
of crazed minds. Sheehy’s stories shine a
spotlight on the bleak fringes of America,
giving voice to the invisibles who need it most.
A dismal assistant teacher spiking her coffee
after school is suddenly locked in a basement
with a student who has just witnessed his
father’s murder. A seventeen-year-old girl at a
skate rink whose name no one can remember
is motherless, friendless, and sure she will be
the next to go. The heartbroken victim of
a miscarriage dreams of her fetus’s voyage
through the earth’s plumbing. The estranged
addict son, certain of his innate goodness,
loses himself in a blizzard and fails his family
again. Sheehy’s characters learn that, however
invisible they may feel and whatever their
intentions, their actions incur a cost both to
themselves and to those around them.
hugh sheehy’s stories have appeared in

The Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction
love, in theory
Ten Stories by E. J. Levy
Winner of the Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction
2014 New Writers Award for Fiction, Great Lakes Colleges Association
2013 Best Indie Books of the Year, Kirkus Reviews
2012 ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year Award (Bronze) for Fiction
2012 Edmund White Debut Fiction Award, Publishing Triangle, Finalist
A funny, brainy look at love and
romance in the information age
“A master of her form . . . Levy is skilled at bringing her characters to life, each story searingly
made real through her subtlety and fastidious attention to detail.”—Publishers Weekly
“Levy’s taut prose, intelligence and emotional acuity penetrate nearly every sentence. Fans
of Amy Bloom’s short stories are likely to savor Levy’s work. Readers will likely savor this
collection for its intoxicating language and introspection.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Levy’s artful debut story collection finds varied characters—young and old, male and
female—confronting the ornery manifestations and delusions of modern love. . . . Levy’s ten
engaging stories speak to the sorcery of the heart.”—Booklist
In ten captivating and tender stories, E. J.
Levy takes readers through the surprisingly
erotic terrain of the intellect, offering a smart
and modern take on the age-old theme of
love—whether between a man and woman,
a man and a man, a woman and a woman, or
a mother and a child—drawing readers into
tales of passion, adultery, and heartbreak. A
Brooklyn woman is thrown out of an ashram
for choosing earthly love over enlightenment.
A disheartened English professor’s life
changes when she goes rock climbing and
falls for an outdoorsman. A gay oncologist
attending his sister’s second wedding ponders
dark matter in the universe and the ties that
bind us. Three psychiatric patients, each
convinced that he is Christ, give rise to a love
affair in a small Minnesota town. A lesbian
student of film learns theories of dramatic
action the hard way—by falling for a married
male professor. Wittily incorporating theories
from physics to film to philosophy, from Rational Choice to Thorstein Veblen’s Theory of the
Leisure Class, these stories movingly explore
the heart and mind—shooting cupid’s arrow
toward a target that may never be reached.
e. j. levy’s work has appeared in the Paris
Review, the Missouri Review, Gettysburg Review, the New York Times, and Best American
Essays and has received a Pushcart Prize and
Nelson Algren Finalist Award among other
honors. She is also the author of the memoir
Amazons: A Love Story and editor of Tasting
Life Twice: Literary Lesbian Fiction by New
American Writers, which won the Lambda
Literary Award. Levy teaches in the MFA
Program at Colorado State University.

New and Selected Poems, 1970–2015
Clarence Major
A new collection of poems from a visionary artist
on love, space, power, war, experience, and time
praise for clarence major:
“Over the years, I have come to believe that Clarence Major is one of the most
significant American poets of the past two decades. Educated as a painter . . .
from the outset he brought to poetry the understanding of scale, surface, and
palette. . . . His work [is] also linguistically innovative. . . . His is a catholic but
intellectually and aesthetically rigorous practice.”—Susan Wheeler
“I love the stark contrasts. . . . Major is . . . someone with . . . a vivid sense of
how narrative and impulse inhabit the visual realm.”—Tracy K. Smith
Clarence Major is a consummate artist
whose work in poetry, fiction, and painting
has been widely recognized. He has been part
of twenty-eight group exhibitions, has had
fifteen one-man shows, and has published
fourteen collections of poetry and nine works
of fiction. Major’s works—and this collection
in particular—are distinguished by his poetic
sociability and his unblinking but generous
and affectionate portraiture.
In From Now On, a retrospective of poems
from the 1950s to the present—including selections from each of Major’s previous books
of poetry as well as a generous selection of
new poems—Major creates a vivid gallery of
nimbly drawn characters. Here he establishes a voice that is singular and musical,
one that draws witty, moving, and empathetic
portraits of African American urban and
country dwellers. Ultimately, this collection
maintains Major’s intimate, conversational
poetry while simultaneously becoming more
eclectic, multicultural, and cosmopolitan.
Major’s poetry is affable, but it suggests an
insistence that we can connect with history
and social change through the dynamic lives
of the people we encounter daily.
clarence major is a prizewinning poet,
painter, and novelist. He is the author of thirteen previous books of poetry. As a finalist for
a National Book Award he won a bronze medal
for his book Configurations: New and Selected
Poems, 1958–1998. Among other awards he
is also the recipient of a National Council on
the Arts Award, a New York Cultural Foundation Award, and the Stephen Henderson
Poetry Award for Outstanding Achievement,
all three for poetry. His poetry has appeared
in hundreds of anthologies and periodicals, in
English and in foreign languages. He is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University
of California at Davis.

honest engine
Poems by Kyle Dargan
Poetry that grapples with loss and mortality in a
radically honest way
praise for kyle dargan:
“Heralds a fresh voice in American writing, as varied and vibrant as
the country Dargan inhabits, critiques, and makes his own.”
—Kevin Young, on Bouquet of Hungers
“Kyle Dargan has not let contemporary poetics fool him, so don’t let Kyle
Dargan fool you. He’s a romantic (small r) with an insatiable desire to
construct new meaning in order to heal old experiences.”
—Thomas Sayers Ellis, on Logorrhea Dementia
“Bears the heft of its personal and cultural histories with linguistic
inventiveness, humor, and lyric incandescence.”—Lisa Russ Spaar,
on The Listening
In this his fourth collection, award-winning
poet Kyle Dargan examines the mechanics
of the heart and mind as they are weathered
by loss. Following a spate of deaths among
family and friends, Dargan chooses to present
not color-negative elegies but self-portraits
that capture what of these departed figures
remains within him. Amid this processing of
mortality, it becomes clear that he has arrived
at a turning point as a writer and a man.
As the title suggests, Dargan aspires
toward an unflinching honesty. These poems
do not purport to possess life’s answers or
seek to employ language to mask what they
do not know. Dargan confesses as a means
of reaching out to the nomadic human soul
and inviting it to accompany him on a walk
toward the unknown.
kyle dargan’s poetry collections include
Logorrhea Dementia: A Self-Diagnosis
(Georgia); Bouquet of Hungers (Georgia),
which received the Hurston/Wright Legacy
Award; and The Listening (Georgia), which
was a winner of the Cave Canem Poetry Prize.
He is the former managing editor of Callaloo and the founder and current editor of
POST NO ILLS magazine. He is an associate
professor of literature and creative writing at
American University.

retrofitting sprawl
Addressing Seventy Years of Failed Urban Form
Edited by Emily Talen
New ideas for making sprawl work
These twelve previously unpublished essays
present innovative and practical ideas for addressing the harmful effects of sprawl. Sprawl
is not only an ongoing focus of specialized
magazines like Dwell; indeed, Time magazine
has cited “recycling the suburbs” as the second of “Ten Ideas Changing the World Right
Now.” While most conversations on sprawl
tend to focus on its restriction, this book presents an overview of current thinking on ways
to fix, repair, and retrofit existing sprawl.
Chapters by planners, geographers,
designers, and architects present research
grounded in diverse locales including Phoenix, Arizona; Seattle, Washington; Dublin,
Ohio; and the Atlanta, Georgia, and Washington, D.C. metro areas. The authors address
head-on the most controversial aspects of
sprawl—issues of power and control, justice
and equity, and American attitudes about
regulating private development. But they also
put these issues in practical contexts, bringing in examples of redesign that are already
occurring around the country, including the
retrofitting of corridors and the repurposing
of cul-de-sacs. Whether fixing sprawl requires
a “cultural shift” in thinking or a “coordinated
effort” by local government, these essays
testify that a combination of forethought and
creative thinking will be needed.
emily talen is a professor in the School of
Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning

State University. Her books include City
Rules: How Regulations Affect Urban Form
and The Charter of the New Urbanism.

the politics of urban water
Changing Waterscapes in Amsterdam
Kimberley Kinder
How Amsterdam’s waterscapes became a
flashpoint for activism and development
Fifty years ago, urban waterfronts were industrial, polluted, and diseased. Today, luxury
homes and shops line riverbanks, harbors,
and lakes across Europe and North America.
The visual drama of physical reconstruction
makes this transition look swift and decisive,
but reimaging water is a slow process, punctuated by small cultural shifts and informal spatial seizures that change the meaning of wet
urban spaces. In The Politics of Urban Water,
Kimberley Kinder explores how active residents in Amsterdam deployed their cityscape
when rallying around these concerns, turning
space into a vehicle for social reform.
While market dynamics certainly contributed to the transformation of Amsterdam’s
shorelines, squatters, partiers, artists, historians, environmentalists, tourists, reporters,
and government officials also played crucial
roles in bringing waterscapes to life. Their
interventions pulled water in new directions, connecting it to political discussions
about affordable housing, cultural tolerance,
climate change, and national identity. Over
time, these political valences have become
embedded in laws, norms, symbols, markets,
and landscapes, bringing rich undercurrents
of friction to urban shores. Amsterdam’s
development serves as both an inspiration
and a cautionary tale for cities across Europe
and North America where rapid new growth
creates similar pressures and anxieties.
kimberley kinder is assistant professor of
urban planning at the University of Michigan.

norm diffusion and hiv/aids
governance in putin’s russia and
mbeki’s south africa
Vlad Kravtsov
How Russia and South Africa groped for
governance alternatives to the HIV/AIDS
pandemic and have tried to justify their
utility ever since
Although adopting global norms often
improves domestic systems of governance,
domestic obstacles to norm diffusion are
frequent. States that decide to reinvent their
political authority simultaneously evaluate
which current global norms are desirable and
to what extent. In this study, Vlad Kravtsov
argues that recent debates about the nature of
authority in Putin’s Russia and Mbeki’s South
Africa have resulted in a set of unique ideas on
the cardinal goals of the state. This is the first
book to explore how these consensual ideas
have shaped health governance and impinged
on norm diffusion processes.
Detailed comparisons of HIV/AIDS governance systems in Russia and South Africa illustrate the argument. The Kremlin’s dislike
of international recommendations stemmed
from the rapidly maturing statism and great
power syndrome. Pretoria’s responses to
global AIDS norms were consistent with
the ideas of the African Renaissance, which
highlighted indigenousness, market-based
empowerment, and moral leadership in
global affairs. This book explains how and
why the governments under investigation
framed the nature of the epidemic, provided evidence-based prevention services,
increased universal access to proven lifesaving medicines, and interacted with other
participants in social practice.
vlad kravtsov earned a PhD in political
science from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University
in 2011. His work has been published in peerreviewed journals, and he currently serves as
coinvestigator on the study Understanding
Global Governance in a Globalizing World: International Cooperation in Response to HIV/
AIDS. He is a frequent contributor to
the debates about current affairs in the Russian media.

arab spring
Negotiating in the Shadow of the Intifadat
Edited by I. William Zartman
Analyzing the Arab Spring uprisings in terms of
their numerous and ongoing negotiated processes
“Zartman’s collection is the work of a grand master at his best. I doubt that
anyone else has the intellectual preparation and scope to undertake such a book
as this one.”—Allen Keiswetter, Middle East Institute Scholar and former Deputy
Assistant Secretary of State
Beginning in January 2011, the Arab world
exploded in a vibrant demand for dignity,
liberty, and achievable purpose in life, rising
up against an image and tradition of arrogant,
corrupt, unresponsive authoritarian rule.
These previously unpublished, countryspecific case studies of the uprisings and their
still unfolding political aftermaths identify
patterns and courses of negotiation and explain why and how they occur.
The contributors argue that in uprisings
like the Arab Spring negotiation is “not just
a ‘nice’ practice or a diplomatic exercise.”
Rather, it is a “dynamically multilevel” process involving individuals, groups, and states
with continually shifting priorities—and with
the prospect of violence always near. From
that perspective, the essaysits analyze a range
of issues and events—including civil disobedience and strikes, mass demonstrations and
nonviolent protest, and peaceful negotiation
and armed rebellion—and contextualize
their findings within previous struggles, both
within and outside the Middle East. The Arab
countries discussed include Algeria, Bahrain,
Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen. The Arab Spring uprisings are discussed
in the context of rebellions in countries like
South Africa and Serbia, while the Libyan
uprising is also viewed in terms of the negotiations it provoked within NATO.
Collectively, the essays analyze the challenges of uprisers and emerging governments
in building a new state on the ruins of a liber-
ated state; the negotiations that lead either to
sustainable democracy or sectarian violence;
and coalition building between former political and military adversaries.

H. Nitze School of Advanced International
Studies, Johns Hopkins University, and

Women Apparel Workers in the U.S. South, 1930–2000
Michelle Haberland
A careful examination of the apparel industry’s
impact on gender transformation and southern
economic development in the twentieth century
Apparel manufacturing in the American
South, by virtue of its size, its reliance upon
female labor, and its broad geographic scope,
is an important but often overlooked industry
that connects the disparate concerns of women’s history, southern cultural history, and
labor history. In Striking Beauties, Michelle
Haberland examines its essential features and
the varied experiences of its workers during
the industry’s great expansion from the late
1930s through the demise of its southern
branch at the end of the twentieth century.
The popular conception of the early
twentieth-century South as largely agrarian
informs many histories of industry and labor
in the United States. But as Haberland demonstrates, the apparel industry became a key
part of the southern economy after the Great
Depression and a major driver of southern
industrialization. The gender and racial
composition of the workforce, the growth of
trade unions, technology, and capital investment were all powerful forces in apparel’s
migration south. Yet those same forces also
revealed the tensions caused by racial and
gender inequities not only in the region
but in the nation at large. Striking Beauties
places the struggles of working women for
racial and economic justice in the larger context of southern history. The role of women
as the primary consumers of the family
placed them in a critical position to influence
the success or failure of boycotts, union label
programs and ultimately solidarity.
michelle haberland is associate professor
of history and director of Women’s and Gender Studies at Georgia Southern University.

working for equality
The Narrative of Harry Hudson
Edited by Randall L. Patton
Foreword by Gavin Wright
A rare look at the personal costs­—and benefits—of
black achievement in the postwar corporate world
“When I went to work for Lockheed-Georgia
Company in September of 1952 I had no idea
that this would end up being my life’s work.”
With these words, Harry Hudson, the first
African American supervisor at Lockheed
Aircraft’s Georgia facility, begins his account of
a thirty-six-year career that spanned the postwar civil rights movement and the Cold War.
Hudson was not a civil rights activist, yet
he knew he was helping to break down racial
barriers that had long confined African
Americans to lower-skilled, nonsupervisory
jobs. His previously unpublished memoir is
an inside account of both the racial integration of corporate America and the struggles
common to anyone climbing the postwar cor-
porate ladder. At Lockheed-Georgia, Hudson
went on to become the first black supervisor
to manage an integrated crew and then the
first black purchasing agent. There were
other “firsts” along the path to these achievements, and Working for Equality is rich in
details of Hudson’s work on the assembly
line and in the back office. In both circumstances, he contended with being not only a
black man but a light-skinned black man as
he dealt with production goals, personnel
disputes, and other workday challenges.
Randall Patton’s introduction places
Hudson’s story within the broader struggle
of workplace desegregation in America.
Although Hudson is frank about his experi-
ences in a predominantly white workforce,
Patton notes that he remained “an organization man” who “expressed pride in his
contributions to Lockheed [and] the nation’s
defense effort.”
harry hudson was the first African
American supervisor at the LockheedGeorgia plant in 1953.

Early American Places
natchez country
Indians, Colonists, and the Landscapes
of Race in French Louisiana
George Edward Milne
The Natchez, the French, and the development of
racial consciousness among native peoples
“Milne’s Natchez Country expertly elucidates the tangled relationships between
the self-described red men whose country was ruled by the sun and the
incomers who were subjects of the Sun King.”—Karen Ordahl Kupperman,
author of The Atlantic in World History
At the dawn of the 1700s the Natchez viewed
the first Francophones in the Lower Mississippi Valley as potential inductees to their
chiefdom. This mistaken perception lulled
them into permitting these outsiders to settle
among them. Within two decades conditions in Natchez Country had taken a turn
for the worse. The trickle of wayfarers had
given way to a torrent of colonists (and their
enslaved Africans) who refused to recognize
the Natchez’s hierarchy. These newcomers
threatened to seize key authority-generating
features of Natchez Country: mounds, a plaza,
and a temple. This threat inspired these
Indians to turn to a recent import—racial
categories—to reestablish social order. They
began to call themselves “red men” to reunite
their polity and to distance themselves from
the “blacks” and “whites” into which their
neighbors divided themselves. After refashioning their identity, they launched an attack
that destroyed the nearby colonial settlements. Their 1729 assault began a two-year
war that resulted in the death or enslavement
of most of the Natchez people.
In Natchez Country, George Edward Milne
provides the most comprehensive history of
the Lower Mississippi Valley and the Natchez to date. From La Salle’s first encounter
with what would become Louisiana to the
ultimate dispersal of the Natchez by the close
of the 1730s, Milne also analyzes the ways
in which French attitudes about race and
slavery influenced native North American
Indians in the vicinity of French colonial
settlements on the Mississippi River and
how Native Americans in turn adopted and
resisted colonial ideology.

slavery, childhood, and abolition
in jamaica, 1788–1838
Colleen A. Vasconcellos
New insights into how enslaved children were used,
abused, and conceptualized during a pivotal period
of African diasporic history
“This exploration of the shifting experiences of enslaved children—the most
vulnerable section of the plantation population—illuminates the ways in which
successive ‘reforms’ impacted their lives. Colleen A. Vasconcellos offers a
plantation-level perspective on the reform efforts’ changing repercussions for
individual enslaved households. She proceeds from the first questioning of slavery
in the mid-eighteenth century, through efforts by individual colonies to legislate
reforms, on to the colonial consequences of the ending of the trans-Atlantic
trade in enslaved Africans, and finally to the transition from Emancipation to ‘Full
Free.’”—James Robertson, Department of History and Archaeology, the University
of the West Indies, Mona
This study examines childhood and slavery in Jamaica from the onset of improved
conditions for the island’s slaves to the end
of all forced or coerced labor throughout the
British Caribbean. As Colleen A. Vasconcellos
discusses the nature of child development in
the plantation complex, she looks at how both
colonial Jamaican society and the slave community conceived childhood—and how those
ideas changed as the abolitionist movement
gained power, the fortunes of planters rose
and fell, and the nature of work on Jamaica’s
estates evolved from slavery to apprenticeship
to free labor.
Vasconcellos explores the experiences of
enslaved children through the lenses of family, resistance, race, status, culture, education,
and freedom. In the half-century covered by
her study, Jamaican planters alternately saw
enslaved children as burdens or investments.
At the same time, the childhood experience
was shaped by the ethnically, linguistically,
and culturally diverse slave community. Vasconcellos adds detail and meaning to these
tensions by looking, for instance, at enslaved
children of color, legally termed mulattos,
who had unique ties to both slave and planter
families. In addition, she shows how traditions, beliefs, and practices within the slave
community undermined planters’ efforts
to ensure a compliant workforce by instilling
Christian values in enslaved children. These
are just a few of the ways that Vasconcellos
reveals an overlooked childhood—one that
was often defined by Jamaican planters but
always contested and redefined by the
slaves themselves.
colleen a. vasconcellos is an associate
professor of history at the University of West
Georgia. She is coeditor, with Jennifer Hillman Helgren, of Girlhood: A Global History.

Their Lives and Times—Volume 2
Edited by Beverly Greene Bond

Life-and-times histories of women from Tennessee
The second volume of Tennessee Women:
Their Lives and Times contains sixteen essays
on Tennessee women in the forefront of the
political, economic, and cultural history of the
state and assesses the national and sometimes international scope of their influence.
The essays examine women’s lives in the
broad sweep of nineteenth- and twentiethcentury history in Tennessee and reenvision
the state’s past by placing them at the center
of the historical stage and examining their
experiences in relation to significant events.
Together, volumes 1 and 2 cover women’s activities from the early 1700s to the late 1900s.
Volume 2 looks at antebellum issues
of gender, race, and class; the impact of
the Civil War on women’s lives; parades and
public celebrations as venues for displaying
and challenging gender ideals; female activism on racial and gender issues; the impact
of state legislation on marital rights; and
the place of women in particular religious
organizations. Together these essays reorient
our views of women as agents of change in
Tennessee history.

Southern Women: Their Lives and Times
virginia women
Their Lives and Times—Volume 1
Edited by Cynthia A. Kierner and Sandra Gioia Treadway
Life-and-times histories of women from Virginia
Virginia Women is the first of two volumes exploring the history of Virginia women through
the lives of exemplary and remarkable individuals. This collection of seventeen essays,
written by established and emerging scholars,
recovers the stories and voices of a diverse
group of women, from the seventeenth century through the Civil War era. Placing their
subjects in their larger historical contexts, the
authors show how the experiences of Virginia
women varied by race, class, age, and marital
status, and also across both space and time.
Some essays examine the lives of wellknown women—such as First Lady Dolley
Madison—from a new perspective. Others introduce readers to relatively obscure
historical figures: the convicted witch Grace
Sherwood; the colonial printer Clementina
Rind; Harriet Hemings, the enslaved daughter of Thomas Jefferson. Essays on the frontier heroine Mary Draper Ingles and the Civil
War spy Elizabeth Van Lew examine the real
women behind the legends. Altogether,
the essays in this collection offer readers
an engaging and personal window onto the
experiences of women in the Old Dominion.

Southern Women: Their Lives and Times
north carolina women
Their Lives and Times—Volume 2
Edited by Michele Gillespie and Sally G. McMillen
Life-and-times histories of women
from North Carolina
By the twentieth century, North Carolina’s
progressive streak had strengthened, thanks
in part to a growing number of women who
engaged in and influenced state and national
policies and politics. In 1902, Daisy Denson
became the first woman to head the state’s
welfare board, and from that position she
addressed a number of issues, including
child labor and prison reform. Gertrude Weil
fought tirelessly for the Nineteenth Amendment, which extended suffrage to women,
and founded the state chapter of the League
of Women Voters once the amendment was
ratified in 1920. Gladys Avery Tillett, an ardent
Democrat and supporter of Roosevelt’s New
Deal, became a major presence in her party
at both the state and national levels. Guion
Griffis Johnson turned to volunteer work in
the postwar years, becoming one of the state’s
most prominent female civic leaders.
Through her excellent education, keen legal
mind, and family prominence, Susie Sharp in
1949 became the first woman judge in North
Carolina and in 1974 the first woman in the
nation to be elected and serve as chief justice
of a state supreme court. Throughout her life,
the Reverend Dr. Anna Pauline “Pauli” Murray
charted a religious, literary, and political path
to racial reconciliation on both a national stage
and in North Carolina.
This is the second of two volumes that
together explore the diverse and changing patterns of North Carolina women’s lives. These
essays cover the period beginning with women
born in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries but who made their greatest contributions to the social, political, cultural, legal, and
economic life of the state during the late progressive era through the late twentieth century.

remaking home economics
Resourcefulness and Innovation in Changing Times
Edited by Sharon Y. Nickols and Gwen Kay
Essays on the history and current state of the
family and consumer sciences field
An interdisciplinary effort of scholars from
history, women’s studies, and family and
consumer sciences, Remaking Home Economics covers the field’s history of opening career
opportunities for women and responding to
domestic and social issues. Calls to “bring
back home economics” miss the point that it
never went away, say Sharon Y. Nickols and
Gwen Kay—home economics has been remaking itself, in study and practice, for more than
a century. These new essays, relevant for a
variety of fields—history, women’s studies,
STEM, and family and consumer sciences
itself—take both current and historical perspectives on defining issues including home
economics philosophy, social responsibility,
and public outreach; food and clothing; gender
and race in career settings; and challenges to
the field’s identity and continuity.
Home economics history offers a rich
case study for exploring common ground
between the broader culture and this highly
gendered profession. This volume describes
the resourcefulness of past scholars and
professionals who negotiated with cultural
and institutional constraints to produce their
work, as well as the innovations of contemporary practitioners who continue to change the
profession, including its name and identity.
The widespread urge to reclaim domestic skills, along with a continual need for
fresh ways to address obesity, elder abuse,
household debt, and other national problems
affirms the field’s vitality and relevance. This
volume will foster dialogue both inside and
outside the academy about the changes that
have remade (and are remaking) family and
consumer sciences.
sharon y. nickols is dean and professor
emerita of family and consumer sciences at
the University of Georgia. She received the
Nellie Kedzie Jones Lifetime Achievement
Award (Board on Human Sciences, Association of Land-Grant Colleges and Universities)

Restoring the Character Sketches by
William Pierce of Georgia of the Delegates
to the Constitutional Convention of 1787
John R. Vile
A fresh look at the famous gathering of short pieces
portraying the Founders at work on the Constitution
Of all the written portraits of the delegates
who attended the Federal Convention of 1787,
few are as complete and compelling as those
penned by William Pierce Jr. (1753–89),
one of four delegates from Georgia. While at
the convention or shortly thereafter, Pierce
produced character sketches of fifty-three
of the fifty-five delegates. Although widely
quoted and cited, the sketches—until now—
have never been analyzed or annotated in
detail. John R. Vile’s study offers new insights
into the workings of the convention and the
character and roles of its delegates, as well as
Pierce’s little-known life, which included time
as an artist. Vile reveals, for example, that the
time prior to the establishment of national
parties when the framers could have successfully met together in convention may have
been a relatively narrow historical window.
Following overviews of events leading to
the 1787 convention and of Pierce and his
immediate family, several chapters deal specifically with the character sketches. They
cover Pierce’s arrangement of the sketches
and their subjects, his evaluations of the
delegates’ personal qualities and reputations,
his assessments of their rhetorical abilities,
and his descriptions of their public services,
occupations, and miscellaneous matters.
Two concluding chapters add further context. One examines a set of somewhat overlapping sketches that Louis Guillaume Otto,
the French minister to the United States,
penned about members of Congress in 1788.
The other looks at writings by Pierce’s son
and namesake that also include assessments
of various Founding Fathers. Gathering
Pierce’s sketches in full, with ample annota-
tions and secondary materials, this is a
valuable reference on Pierce’s life, work,
and times.

diplomacy in black and white
John Adams, Toussaint Louverture, and
Their Atlantic World Alliance
Ronald Angelo Johnson
The first history of the unlikely diplomatic
alliance between the fledgling nations of the
United States and Haiti
“Ronald Angelo Johnson’s Diplomacy in Black and White offers a new, compelling, and
highly readable account of an important episode in the early history of American foreign
policy.”—Michael Mandelbaum, author of Democracy’s Good Name: The Rise and Risks of
the World’s Most Popular Form of Government
“John Adams’s presidency and Saint-Domingue’s revolutionary regime rarely get the
attention they deserve in explaining the acquisition of Louisiana and shifts in the slavery
debates in the United States. Ronald Angelo Johnson’s carefully argued and persuasive
new book gives us an illuminating take on the equal partnership forged between the
Adams administration and Toussaint Louverture—a fascinating and original study of
diplomacy across the color line.”—Nancy Isenberg, author of Fallen Founder: The Life
of Aaron Burr
From 1798 to 1801, during the Haitian Revolution, President John Adams and Toussaint
Louverture forged diplomatic relations that
empowered white Americans to embrace
freedom and independence for people of color
in Saint-Domingue. The United States supported the Dominguan revolutionaries with
economic assistance and arms and munitions; the conflict was also the U.S. Navy’s first
military action on behalf of a foreign ally. This
cross-cultural cooperation was of immense
and strategic importance as it helped to bring
forth a new nation: Haiti.
Diplomacy in Black and White is the first
book on the Adams-Louverture alliance.
Historian and former diplomat Ronald
Angelo Johnson details the aspirations of the
Americans and Dominguans—two revolutionary peoples—and how they played significant
roles in a hostile Atlantic world. Remarkably,
leaders of both governments established
multiracial relationships amid environments
dominated by slavery and racial hierarchy.
And though U.S.-Dominguan diplomacy did
not end slavery in the United States, it altered
Atlantic world discussions of slavery and race
well into the twentieth century.
Diplomacy in Black and White reflects the
capacity of leaders from disparate backgrounds to negotiate political and societal
constraints to make lives better for the groups
they represent. Adams and Louverture
brought their peoples to the threshold of a lasting transracial relationship. And their shared
history reveals the impact of decisions made
by powerful people at pivotal moments. But in
the end, a permanent alliance failed to emerge,
and instead, the two republics born of revolution took divergent paths.
ronald angelo johnson is an assistant professor of history at Texas State University. He
has served as a U.S. diplomat at embassies in
Gabon and Luxembourg, and he has worked as
an analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency.
He is also a chaplain in the U.S. Navy Reserve.

bombay in the age of disco
Tinaz Pavri
A riveting memoir capturing the
metamorphosis of Bombay and its
citizens during one of India’s most
pivotal moments
By the early nineties, the economy of India had taken its
first faltering steps toward liberalization, globalization’s
reach had found and touched significant swathes of its
society, the decades-long postindependence era of Nehru
and Gandhi was finally and firmly over, and Bombay had
become Mumbai. Bombay in the Age of Disco is a personal
and historically powerful memoir, weaving together
the experiences and aspirations of a young girl and her
family with the dizzying sea of change that swept her city
during her childhood and after she left.
Tinaz Pavri recalls what Bombay taught her as a child
and compares her memories to the changing, globalized
nature of her hometown as it is today. This book is an
up-close, personal account of India’s changing economy
and social structure through the last several decades.
Readers will be as enchanted with Pavri’s family, who
range from hilarious but well meaning to snarky and
aloof, as they will be with the city’s fading yet regenerating charms.
tinaz pavri is a professor and division chair for
social sciences and education in the Department of
Political Science at Spelman College. Her professional
studies focus on security studies and conflict resolution,
national identity, and India’s globalized economy.
She is the current president of the Georgia Political
Science Association.
