Readings on Race, Racism, and Racial Violence
Edited by Chad Williams,
Kidada E. Williams, and Keisha N. Blain
“A signal contribution, this timely volume provides
the central historical and contemporary contexts for
teachers, students, and the general public seeking to
understand the tragic events in Charleston in 2015.
Building on the possibilities inherent in digital crowdsourcing, Charleston Syllabus inaugurates a new
model of engagement between academia and the
general public around the most pressing issues of our
time.”—Leslie M. Harris, author of In the Shadow of
Slavery: African Americans in New York City, 1626-1863
“Do inflamed emergencies tend to produce innovative
scholarly responses? Even a glancing perusal of this
enlightening and brilliant response to the Charleston
massacre of 2015 leads inexorably to an emphatic
answer: yes! These diligent scholars provide eyeopening historical and contemporary chapters that
shed light on why this tragedy occurred—and what
must be done to ensure that it will not recur.”
—Gerald Horne, author of The Counter-Revolution
of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United
States of America
On June 17, 2015, a white supremacist entered Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, and sat with some of its parishioners during a Wednesday
night Bible study session. An hour later, he began expressing his hatred for African
Americans, and soon after, he shot nine church members dead, the church’s pastor
and a South Carolina state senator, Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney, among them. The ensuing manhunt for the shooter and investigation of his motives revealed his beliefs
in white supremacy and reopened debates about racial conflict, southern identity,
systemic racism, civil rights, and the African American church as an institution.
In the aftermath of the massacre, Professors Chad Williams, Kidada E. Williams,
and Keisha N. Blain sought a way to put the murder—and the subsequent debates
about it in the media—in the context of America’s tumultuous history of race relations and racial violence on a global scale. They created the Charleston Syllabus on
June 19, starting it as a hashtag on Twitter linking to scholarly works on the myriad
of issues related to the murder. The syllabus’s popularity exploded and is already
being used as a key resource in discussions of the event.
Charleston Syllabus is a reader—a collection of new essays and columns published in the wake of the massacre, along with selected excerpts from key existing
scholarly books and general-interest articles. The collection draws from a variety of
disciplines—history, sociology, urban studies, law, critical race theory—and includes
discussion questions and a selected and annotated bibliography for further reading,
drawing from such texts as the Confederate constitution, South Carolina’s secession
declaration, songs, poetry, slave narratives, and literacy texts. As timely as it is necessary, the book will be a valuable resource for understanding the roots of American
systemic racism, white privilege, the uses and abuses of the Confederate flag and its
ideals, the black church as a foundation for civil rights activity and state violence
against such activity, and critical whiteness studies.

The first book to examine the work of Ruth Shellhorn,
modernist landscape architect, and her contribution to
the “Southern California experience”
ruth shellhorn
Kelly Comras
“We are presently living in an age of great
upheavals, change and vitality, an age which is
exhausting with its tensions, noise, frustrations,
rush, and distractions. Much landscape
architecture which is created today reflects this
atmosphere. It is full of ideas, too full, distracting
in its many opposing lines, gimmicks, accents,
spot planting, angular patterns, countless
different elements, and garish colors. Many of
the designs are clever, and good from a design
standpoint, but exhausting. To meet a clever,
witty, sparkling individual is a stimulating
experience, but to be with that person constantly,
leaves no peace.”—Ruth Shellhorn, 1961
“If she specified plants to be spaced six inches
apart, she expected the contractor to use a sixinch ruler to make sure he got it right. If he didn’t
get it right, she got down on her knees, in a skirt,
and showed him how to do the work.”

Shellhorn’s landscaping projects

Masters of Modern Landscape Design
A Bruce and Georgia McEver Fund for
the Arts and Environment Publication
6 | landscape design
In a career spanning nearly sixty years, Ruth Shellhorn (1909–2006) helped shape
Southern California’s iconic modernist aesthetic. This is the first full-length treatment of Shellhorn, who created close to four hundred landscape designs, collaborated with some of the region’s most celebrated architects, and left her mark on a
wide array of places, including college campuses and Disneyland’s Main Street.
Kelly Comras tells the story of Shellhorn’s life and career before focusing on
twelve projects that explore her approach to design and aesthetic philosophy in
greater detail. The book’s project studies include designs for Bullock’s department stores and Fashion Square shopping centers; school campuses, including a
multiyear master plan for the University of California at Riverside; a major Los
Angeles County coastal planning project; the western headquarters for Prudential Insurance; residential estates and gardens; and her collaboration on the
original plan for Disneyland.
Shellhorn received formal training at Oregon State and Cornell Universities
and was influenced by such contemporaries as Florence Yoch, Beatrix Farrand,
Welton Becket, and Ralph Dalton Cornell. As president of the Southern California chapter of ASLA, she became a champion of her profession, working tirelessly to achieve state licensure for landscape architects. In her own practice, she
collaborated closely with architects to address landscape concerns at the earliest
stages of building design, retained long-term control over the maintenance of
completed projects, and considered the importance of the region’s natural environment at a time of intense development throughout Southern California.
Shellhorn set a standard of creativity, productivity, and respect for the native
landscape that defused gender stereotypes—and earned her the admiration of
landscape designers then and now.

masters of modern landscape design
The Library of American Landscape History (LALH) is dedicated to expanding the general
public’s understanding of North American landscape design history and those who have shaped
it. In partnership with the University of Georgia Press, LALH is launching a series of accessibly
written, highly illustrated books that illuminate the modern through the careers of pioneering
landscape architects who transformed the profession.
Each book begins with a biographical essay on the early life, education, design principles, and
legacy of the featured landscape architect. This context is followed by analyses of a selection of
ten to fifteen projects representing significant contributions to the field. As a series, these books
document the birth of the modern in the profession and the extent to which contemporary practice is indebted to the masters of modern landscape design.
Individual books will be written by authorities in the field and aimed at a wide audience,
including interested general readers and students in addition to architects, landscape
architects, interior designers, gardeners, historians, and preservationists.

The first biography of Harry Crews, writer of the
“Dirty South” and wildman extraordinaire
blood, bone, and marrow
A Biography of Harry Crews
Ted Geltner
Foreword by Michael Connelly
“Harry Crews was a uniquely gifted and haunted
storyteller. Novelist, journalist, memoirist—he
made each form his own in a way no one else
had before or since. The pages that follow in this
absorbing biography detail this and reach into the
guts of the experiences that formed him and gave
him a voice that was sad, brutal, and funny. Harry
said that when it came to writing the truth about
himself—or anything for that matter—he was not
as interested in facts as he was in memory and
belief.”—Michael Connelly, from the foreword
In 2010, Ted Geltner drove to Gainesville, Florida, to pay a visit to Harry Crews
and ask the legendary author if he would be willing to be the subject of a literary
biography. His health rapidly deteriorating, Crews told Geltner he was on board
and would even sit for interviews and tell his stories one last time. “Ask me anything you want, bud,” Crews said. “But you’d better do it quick.”
The result is Blood, Bone, and Marrow, the first full-length biography about one
of the most unlikely figures in 20th Century American literature, a writer who
emerged from a dirt-poor South Georgia tenant farm and went on to create a singularly unique voice of fiction. With books such as Scar Lover, Body, and Naked
in Garden Hills Crews opened a new window into southern life, focusing his lens
on the poor and disenfranchised, the people who skinned the hogs and tended
the fields, the “grits,” as Crews affectionately called his characters and himself.
He lived by a code of his own design, flouting authority and baring his soul, and
the stories of his whiskey-and-blood soaked lifestyle created a myth to match any
of his fictional creations. His outlaw life, his distinctive voice and the context in
which Harry Crews lived combine to form the elements for a singularly compelling narrative about an underappreciated literary treasure.
ted geltner is an associate professor of journalism at Valdosta
State University, adviser to the campus newspaper, and author of
Last King of the Sports Page: The Life and Career of Jim Murray. He
worked for seventeen years as a writer and editor at a number of
newspapers, including the Gainesville Sun, the Scranton TimesTribune, and the Ocala Star-Banner.

Essays and reflections on the poetry of the
last twenty-five years
what persists
Selected Essays on Poetry from
The Georgia Review, 1988–2014
Judith Kitchen
“Judith Kitchen refused to suffer the trendy, the
power-mongered, the almost-poem, and the cant
(and simply the can’t) that permeate the poetry
world. Of her own criticism she said at one point,
‘Does this make me sound like [a] curmudgeon?
Partly . . . but it also makes me . . . the reader
in search of something subtle, even magical.’
For twenty-six years—for a generation—Judith
introduced us to, and defended, and parsed, that
magic, teaching us to see it for ourselves and
holding its practitioners to the highest standards.
Her essays are supple, richly textured (and often
movingly autobiographical) prose; her critical
heart is equally generous and demanding;
her mind is quirky, opinionated, candid, and
honeycombed with the love and lore of the art
she chose to showcase. Seemingly without trying
(but of course that was part of her magic) she
became my generation’s most eloquent and
necessary exponent of American poetry.”
—Albert Goldbarth
What Persists contains eighteen essays that were published in The Georgia Review
over the past twenty-five years. Coming at poetry from every possible angle, Judith
Kitchen discusses work by older and younger American poets, many of whom were
not yet part of the contemporary canon. They reveal a cultural history from the dismantling of the Berlin Wall, through 9/11 and the Iraq War, and move into today’s
political climate. They chronicle personal interests while they also make note of
what was happening in contemporary poetry. The selections also reveal changes in
taste, both in content and in the use of craft. Over time, they become a comprehensive overview of the contemporary literary scene.
At its best, What Persists shows what a wide range of poetry is being written—by
women, men, poets who celebrate their ethnicity, poets who show a fierce individualism, poets whose careers have soared, promising poets whose work has all but
disappeared. Cumulatively, the essays reflect a larger context and trace the trends
and inclinations of contemporary poetry.

“Historians have paid too little attention to Franklin
Roosevelt’s loving but complicated relationship with
the state of Georgia. With A President in Our Midst,

collection of stories, eyewitness recollections, and
photographs to fill that gap. It’s a wonderful addition

of The Man He Became: How FDR Defied Polio to Win
the Presidency
“Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, a scion of New
York social aristocracy, a son of Harvard, and the
very model of the North’s elite, why would this man
fall in love with the people of Georgia, and especially
the poor farmer? It is a great mystery, but one that
transformed Roosevelt himself. In Georgia life came
back to a polio-stricken FDR, and there he breathed
his last breath.”—Jamil S. Zainaldin, President,

Franklin Delano Roosevelt visited Georgia forty-one times between 1924 and
1945. This rich gathering of photographs and remembrances documents the
vital role of Georgia’s people and places in FDR’s rise from his position as a despairing politician daunted by disease to his role as a revered leader who guided
the country through its worst depression and a world war.
A native New Yorker, FDR called Georgia his “other state.” Seeking relief from
the devastating effects of polio, he was first drawn there by the reputed healing powers of the waters at Warm Springs. FDR immediately took to Georgia,
and the attraction was mutual. Nearly two hundred photos show him working
and convalescing at the Little White House, addressing crowds, sparring with
reporters, visiting fellow polio patients, and touring the countryside. Quotes by
Georgians from a variety of backgrounds hint at the countless lives he touched
during his time in the state.
In Georgia, away from the limelight, FDR became skilled at projecting strength
while masking polio’s symptoms. Georgia was also his social laboratory, where
he floated new ideas to the press and populace and tested economic recovery
projects that were later rolled out nationally. Most important, FDR learned to
love and respect common Americans—beginning with the farmers, teachers,
maids, railroad workers, and others he met in Georgia.

Inside the nightmare world and personalities of
the Balkan wars of the 1990s by a diplomat with
unparalleled access
conversations with milošević
Ivor Roberts
“This is not only a truly valuable addition to the
literature on the breakup of Yugoslavia, it is also
an incredibly interesting read. Sir Ivor Roberts was
one of the few Western officials with sustained
close-up interaction with Milošević, as well as
with other leading Serbian and international
personalities involved at the time. It is a
fascinating account of Roberts’s time in Belgrade,
full of anecdotes and character portraits.”
—James Ker-Lindsay, Eurobank Senior Research
Fellow on the Politics of Southeast Europe,
London School of Economics
“This intriguing and informative book will serve
not only as an explanation of why Yugoslavia
disintegrated, and why it did so with such
violence, but it will also open areas of debate
on those processes which will be of interest and
value to historians, as well as students of politics
and international relations.”—Richard Crampton,
Emeritus Professor of East European History, St.
Edmunds Hall, University of Oxford
Conversations with Milošević is a firsthand portrayal of the so-called Butcher of the
Balkans, the Serbian president whose ambitions sparked the Bosnian conflict. At its
heart the book is a portrait of an autocrat who rode the tiger of nationalism to serve
his own ends and to promote those who furthered his agenda. The architect of ethnic
cleansing in modern Europe, Slobodan Milošević created and sponsored two Frankenstein’s monsters, Ratko Mladić and Radovan Karadžić, who were also indicted
for war crimes.
Through these personalities, diplomat and political advisor Ivor Roberts analyzes
the unfolding of the Kosovo conflict, which directly sowed the seeds of radicalization
in Europe today. He contends that this conflict later provided a false template for the
Bush/Blair administrations’ illegal invasion of Iraq: regime change under the guise of
a humanitarian war. He further investigates how international recognition of Kosovo
in the years after the conflict in breach of United Nations Security Council resolutions
set a disastrous precedent for the Russian annexation of Crimea.

An award-winning essayist explores the
lives of some of America’s most interesting
and obscure women
ladies night at the dreamland
Sonja Livingston
“A vibrant and textured creation of women
throughout history, some of them famous, others
notable for the bravery of their more private lives.
Line by line, the writing sings. What a marvelous
collection of essays. What a glorious celebration.”
—Lee Martin, author of The Bright Forever
“A swirling, wise dream of a book, filled with
gorgeous writing and a poignant crowd of
characters, rescued from the stream of history
with ardent insight.”—Harriet Scott Chessman,
author of The Beauty of Ordinary Things
At the Dreamland, women and girls flicker from the shadows to take their proper
place in the spotlight. In this lyrical collection, Sonja Livingston weaves together
strands of research and imagination to conjure figures from history, literature,
legend, and personal memory. The result is a series of essays that highlight lives
as varied, troubled, and spirited as America itself.
Harnessing the power of language, Livingston breathes life into subjects who
lived extraordinary lives—as rule-breakers, victims, or those whose differences
made them cultural curiosities—bringing together those who slipped through the
world largely unseen with those whose images were fleeting or faulty so that they,
too, remained relatively obscure. Included are Alice Mitchell, a Memphis society
girl who murdered her female lover in 1892; Maria Spelterini, who crossed
Niagara Falls on a tightrope in 1876; May Fielding, a “white slave girl” buried in
a Victorian cemetery; Valaida Snow, a Harlem Renaissance trumpeter; a child

A rich collection of writing by women from the
Dominican Republic and its diaspora
daring to write
Contemporary Narratives by Dominican Women
Edited by Erika M. Martínez
Foreword by Julia Alvarez
“Be prepared for a feast, and then, as with all such
blessings of plenty, share it: tell others about this
book, put it on your syllabi, on the shelves of your
bookstores and libraries. Nourish yourself and
others with the rich and savory sancocho of the
work collected here. As we Dominicans say when
a visitor arrives at mealtime, ¡A buen tiempo!
Readers, you have indeed come at a good time.”
—Julia Alvarez, from the foreword
“Daring to Write gathers in one volume and for the
first time Dominican women writing across genres
and against gender norms and borders of all kinds.
The result is a moving and imaginative critique
of how gender, race, and class intersect in the
daily lives of women in the Dominican Republic
and in the diaspora. This book is an important
contribution to women’s studies and Latino/a
studies.”—Daisy Hernández, coeditor of Colonize
This! Young Women of Color on Today’s Feminism
With this new Latino literary collection Erika M. Martínez has brought together
twenty-four engaging narratives written by Dominican women and women of
Dominican descent living in the United States. The first volume of its kind, Daring to Write’s insightful works offer readers a wide array of content that touches
on a range of topics: migration, history, religion, race, class, gender, and sexuality.
The result is a moving and imaginative critique of how these factors intersect and
affect the daily lives of these Latina women.
The volume opens with a foreword by Julia Alvarez and includes short stories,
novel excerpts, memoirs, and personal essays and features work by established
writers such as Angie Cruz and Nelly Rosario, alongside works by emerging writers. Narratives originally written in Spanish appear in English for the first time,
translated by Achy Obejas. An important contribution to Latino/a studies, these
writings will introduce readers to a new collection of rich literature.

New Hampshire and is a staff member of their Invitational Summer Writing Institute. She has contributed to various anthologies, including Wise Latinas: Writers on Higher Education and

An noted nature writer asks us to reengage
with the natural world through sound
listening to the savage
River Notes and Half-Heard Melodies
Barbara Hurd
“As with few other nature writers—a small
handful of the singing poets, like Mary Oliver and
W. S. Merwin—one enters the brilliant desert,
blue mountain, what-have-you—with verve and
hunger, when Barbara Hurd is the guide.”
—Rick Bass
“Barbara Hurd stalks the wisdom that comes
from deep and attentive listening. Whether she’s
engaging in rousing conversation with Thoreau or
working to hear past the commonplace definition
of musical harmony and into complex registers
of perception, her drive is always to ‘stitch bits
of evidence together into some narrative whole
that might enlarge the picture, make the drama
more true.’ Part lyrical field guide, part writer’s
journal, these generous, meditative essays court
‘finer gradations, clearer distinctions, and better
discernment.’”—Lia Purpura, author of
Rough Likeness
Barbara Hurd’s Listening to the Savage weaves rich explorations of science, history, mythology, literature, and music. The listening of the book delineates and
champions a kind of attentiveness to what is not easily heard and is written in
language that is as precise as it is poetic, providing original ways of engagement
in the natural world.
As in Hurd’s other books, the previously unknown or the barely known become
less mysterious but still retain the quality of mystery. The book presumes that
nature is a mix of the chaotic and the wondrous. It addresses worry and advocacy—worry about our carelessness that can destroy the balance of that mix and a
cry for us to pay more attention to humanity’s relationship to natural history.
Listen, be alert, it says without hectoring. Rivers, ferns, streams, birds all have
a life that is delicate and worth preserving. Barbara Hurd is one of our finest
environmental writers, and this book will please the choir and persuade those on
the ambivalent edge.

A personal narrative about the arrival
and flourishing of the American coyote
in the Southeast
coyote settles the south
John Lane
“I first realized what a talent John Lane is when I
read his book on the Chattooga. He is a dynamic
writer I’ve come to respect.”—Pat Conroy, author
of The Death of Santini: The Story of a Father and
His Son
“John Lane takes readers into the heart of nature
as well as into the nature of the heart, and he
writes with wonder, wisdom, and profound
attentiveness.”—Ron Rash, author of Serena
One night, poet and environmental writer John Lane tuned in to a sound from
behind his house that he had never heard before: the nearby eerie and captivating
howls of coyote. Since this was Spartanburg, South Carolina, and not Missoula,
Montana, Lane set out to discover all he could about his new and unexpected
neighbors.
Coyote Settles the South is the story of his journey through the Southeast, where
he visits coyote territories: swamps, nature preserves, old farm fields, suburbs, a
tannery, and even city streets. On his travels he meets, interrogates, and observes
those who interact with the animals—trappers, wildlife researchers, hunters,
rattled pet owners, and even one devoted coyote hugger. Along the way, he encounters sensible, yet sometimes perplexing, insight concerning the migration into the
Southeast of the American coyote, an animal that, in the end, surprises him with its
intelligence, resilience, and amazing adaptability.

The history, nature, and beauty
of a jewel of the Georgia coast
island passages
An Illustrated History of Jekyll Island, Georgia
Jingle Davis
Photographs by Benjamin Galland
“This is a winner of a book that every visitor to the
Georgia coast, and every resident, will want to
own. It is well researched and well written, and the
photographs are knockouts. Jingle Davis gives us
prime examples of the good and bad in Georgia’s
past as she deftly shows how Jekyll Island fits into
the history of the Golden Isles.”—Jerald T. Milanich,
author of Laboring in the Fields of the Lord: Spanish
Missions and Southeastern Indians
“In her new book, Island Passages, Jingle Davis
provides a sweeping overview of the history and
natural environment of Jekyll Island. Written
with a reporter’s flair and lavishly illustrated with
photographs by Benjamin Galland, this volume is
one that lovers of Jekyll Island and coastal Georgia
will want to add to their libraries.”
—June Hall McCash, author of The Jekyll Island
Cottage Colony and Jekyll Island’s Early Years and
coauthor of The Jekyll Island Club
Although it is among the smallest of Georgia’s Golden Isles, Jekyll Island boasts
a depth of history rivaling that of its larger neighbors. The island embraces two
National Historic Landmarks, a listing reserved for the nation’s most significant
treasures. More than fifty archaeological sites have been excavated on Jekyll; others remain unexplored, including an Indian burial mound discovered recently on
the grounds of a beachfront motel.
Written in a lively, accessible style by Jingle Davis and lavishly illustrated with
photographs by Benjamin Galland, Island Passages is a solid work of public history
that presents a carefully researched document of Jekyll Island, Georgia, from its
geologic beginning as a shifting sand spit to its present-day ownership by the state
of Georgia.
While many books have been published about Jekyll, most focus on specific eras
or episodes of island history—such as the Jekyll Island Club, the landing of the slave
ship Wanderer, and the DuBignon family dynasty. Davis and Galland’s book makes
an important contribution to the island’s literature because it synthesizes all these
aspects into a comprehensive and beautifully executed history that will appeal to
coastal and island history aficionados and the general reader alike.

Georgia River Network Guidebooks
A Wormsloe Foundation Nature Book
Published in cooperation with the
Broad River Watershed Association
The Broad River is among the last free-flowing rivers in Georgia and perhaps the
state’s most wild. The Broad River User’s Guide traces the unique characteristics of
the full 60 miles of the river and the 110 miles of its three forks (South, Middle, and
North) before the main river’s convergence with the Savannah River.
In doing so, the guide outlines the river’s cultural and natural history, telling the
story of humans’ relationship to the river from precolonial days to the present.
Though the mainstem of the Broad is one of the few Georgia rivers to escape dams,
it was one of Georgia’s first inland river valleys to be explored and settled. Along its
course are rare species like shoals spider lilies and the Bartram’s bass, not to mention some of the most popular whitewater paddling in North Georgia.
With this handbook, river explorers will find all the information needed to embark on a Broad River journey, including detailed maps, put in/take out suggestions,
fishing and camping locations, mile-by-mile points of interest, and an illustrated
natural history guide to help identify animals and plants commonly seen in and
around the river.

Visually stunning paintings of the dynamic
natural environments that make—and
continually remake—an island
the wild treasury of nature
A Portrait of Little St. Simons Island
Paintings by Philip Juras
Foreword by Wendy Paulson
Contributions by Kevin Grogan,
Dorinda G. Dallmeyer, and Janice Simon
“I look with astonishment at what Philip Juras has
accomplished in these paintings. . . . My hope, like
Philip’s, is that anyone who is moved by his paintings will
gain a fresh, if not brand new, appreciation for the allure
of southeastern coastal landscapes. Even more, I hope
that they will be inspired to join efforts to preserve and
steward those places for ongoing generations.”
—Wendy Paulson, from the foreword
“Juras invites the viewer to inhabit without distractions of
human presence, activity, or metaphor, a singular place
of ecological significance. His Little St. Simons portrait
preserves in paint an environment that will inevitably
alter over time but one hopes will maintain, through
careful stewardship, its essential ecological integrity.”
—Janice Simon, from the book
The fifty-two paintings gathered here reveal as never before the wild beauty of
Little St. Simons, an undeveloped barrier island on the Georgia coast. In showing
us the island’s marshes and tidal creeks, shrublands and forests, and dunes and
beaches, artist Philip Juras helps us understand the natural and historical forces
continually at work on this unique place.
The Wild Treasury of Nature continues Juras’s exploration of the presettlement
wilderness of the American South as the earliest naturalists would have encountered it. Strikingly composed and executed, Juras’s island paintings are based on
extensive research and many hours spent at the sites he documents. From the
contours of a pristine landscape down to the shape and color of its smallest plant,
each scene is a historically and ecologically credible rendering of a place that has
remained miraculously unspoiled.
The writings that accompany Juras’s paintings describe the natural history and
unique cultural past of Little St. Simons in particular and the southern barrier
islands in general, place the artwork within the American landscape painting tradition, and underscore the importance of vigilant stewardship for the island and
the few remaining American places like it.
philip juras, a native of Augusta, Georgia, received a BFA in
drawing and painting and a master’s degree in landscape architecture from the University of Georgia.

“Sullivan is an outstanding example of
a ‘Morehouse man’ who has made a

legacy will entertain and inspire.”
—Library Journal
In Breaking Ground, Louis W. Sullivan, MD,
recounts his extraordinary life, including his childhood in Jim Crow south Georgia and continuing
through his trailblazing endeavors training to
become a physician in an almost entirely white
environment in the Northeast. He was the founding dean and president of Morehouse School of
Medicine in Atlanta and served as secretary of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in
President George H. W. Bush’s administration. Sullivan’s life—from Morehouse to the White House
and his ongoing work with medical students in
South Africa—is the embodiment of the hopes and
progress that the civil rights movement fought to
achieve. His story should inspire future generations—of all backgrounds—to aspire to great things.

“In this smart and meticulously researched
biography, Glenn T. Eskew ac-cent-tchu-ates
another of Mercer’s roles: architect of popular music during the late 1940s and the ’50s,

“Eskew does not merely compile researched

as a complex character. . . . A feat of superb

John Herndon “Johnny” Mercer (1909–76)
remained in the forefront of American entertainment from the 1930s through the 1960s, writing
over fifteen-hundred songs, collaborating with all
the great popular composers and jazz musicians of
his day, working in Hollywood and on Broadway,
and cofounding Capitol Records. Mercer’s lyrics—originally sung by Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday,
Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony
Bennett, and Lena Horne and today by scores of
others—form a canonical chapter in the Great
American Songbook. Glenn T. Eskew’s biography
improves on earlier popular treatments of the
Georgia–born songwriter to produce a sophisticated, insightful, evenhanded examination of
one of America’s most popular and successful
chart-toppers.

(1880–1924) had never been fully told until the
appearance of this biography.
From relatively modest beginnings, R. J. launched
the hugely profitable R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. His marriage in 1905 to Katharine Smith, a
dynamic woman thirty years his junior, marked the
beginning of a unique and influential partnership.
Katharine and R. J. Reynolds reveals the broad economic, social, cultural, and political changes that
were the backdrop to the Reynoldses’ lives.

Stan Ulanski
Comprising sailfish, marlin, spearfish, and
swordfish, billfish are noted for their speed,
size, and acrobatic jumps. This is a natural
and cultural history of billfish and those
who have formed bonds with them—relationships forged by anglers, biologists,
charter-boat captains, and conservationists through their pursuit, study, and
protection of these species.
“Ulanski’s book provides the most
comprehensive, easy-to-read text I have
seen on the evolution of billfish, their
oceanic habitat, and the sport of billfishing.
Nothing escapes his notice.”—Ellen M. Peel,
President, The Billfish Foundation
“Ulanski writes with both a scientific and
an angler’s perspective. . . . A worthwhile
choice for both anglers and students of
these majestic fish.”—Library Journal

sudden music
Improvisation, Sound, Nature
David Rothenberg
Weaving memoir, travelogue, and philosophical reflection, Sudden Music presents
a musical way of knowing that can closely
engage us with the world and open us to
its spontaneity. Linking improvisations
in nature, composition, and instrumentation, Rothenberg touches on a wide range
of music traditions, from Rob Nachman’s
stories to John Cage’s aleatory.* Writing
not as a critic but as a practicing musician,
Rothenberg draws on his own extensive
travels to Scandinavia, India, and Nepal
to describe from close observation the
improvisational traditions that inform and
inspire his own art.
*Each book includes a link to a dedicated
site where musical compositions referenced
can be streamed.
“May be the best music lesson I’ve ever had.”

one would a free jazz performance: with
openness and a lack of preconception.

The Natural and Human
History of Robinson Forest and
the Fight for Its Future
Erik Reece and James J. Krupa
Foreword by Wendell Berry
Robinson Forest in eastern Kentucky
is one of our most important natural
landscapes—and one of the most threatened. Covering fourteen thousand acres of
some of the most diverse forest region in
temperate North America, it is a haven of
biological richness within an everexpanding desert created by mountaintop
removal mining. Written by two people
with deep knowledge of Robinson Forest,
The Embattled Wilderness engagingly portrays this singular place as it persuasively
appeals for its protection.
“Offers an antidote for despair, a bit of hope amid
the heartbreak. Despite the odds, and for now,
Robinson Forest remains.”—Southern Spaces
“Readers will fall in love with Robinson Forest.
. . . A valuable work on the importance of
resource conservation.”—Choice

This is the first full critical biography of
Clarence Major, who is an award-winning
painter, fiction writer, and poet—as well
as an essayist, editor, anthologist, lexicographer, and memoirist. Given the full
cooperation of his subject, Keith E. Byerman traces Major’s life and career from his
complex family history in Georgia through
his encounters with important literary
and artistic figures in Chicago and New
York to his present status as a respected
writer, artist, teacher, and scholar living in
California.
This is the first modern biography of
Scots-Irish immigrant James McHenry
(1753–1816), who is best known for his
service as secretary of war—a tenure
that began under Washington and ended,
controversially, under Adams. Delving into
the misperceptions that ended McHenry’s
public career and obscured him to history,
Karen Robbins reveals a man who, surrounded by important events, reflected
the larger themes of his time.

Geographies of Justice and Social Transformation
Austin, Texas, is often depicted as one of the past half century’s great urban success
stories—a place that has grown enormously through “creative class” strategies emphasizing tolerance and environmental consciousness. In Shadows of a Sunbelt City,
Eliot Tretter reinterprets this familiar story by exploring the racial and environmental
underpinnings of the postindustrial knowledge economy. He is particularly attentive
to how the University of Texas—working with federal, municipal, and private-sector
partners and acquiring the power of eminent domain—expanded its power and physical footprint. He draws attention to how the university’s real estate endeavors shaped
the local economy and how the expansion and upgrading of the main campus occurred
almost entirely at the expense of more modestly resourced communities of color who
lived in its path.
This book challenges Austin’s reputation as a bastion of progressive and liberal
values, notably with respect to its approach to new urbanism and issues of ecological
sustainability. Tretter’s insistence on documenting and interrogating the “shadows”
of this important Sunbelt city should provoke fresh conversations about how urban
policy has contributed to Austin’s economy, the way it has developed and changed
over time, and for whom it works and why. Joining a growing critical literature about
universities’ effect on urban environments, this book will be of interest to students at
all levels in urban history, political science, economic and political geography, public
administration, urban and regional planning, and critical legal studies.

Investigating and addressing the challenges of equity and

beyond the kale
Urban Agriculture and Social
Justice Activism in New York City
Kristin Reynolds and Nevin Cohen
“Challenging the increasingly mainstream view
of urban agriculture as an extension of the new
food movement that consists of young, middleclass white ‘homesteaders’ and ‘pioneers,’
Nevin Cohen and Kristin Reynolds identify how
communities of color have their own rich history
and contemporary forms of an urban agriculture,
which are directly linked to a deeper desire to
bring about community change and social justice.
The authors do more than provide an account of
this alternative view of urban agriculture; rather,
they critically yet constructively engage the
movement while trying to energize its efforts to
achieve food system change and environmental,
economic, and social justice.”—Robert Gottlieb,

Geographies of Justice and Social Transformation
28 | geography / agriculture
Urban agriculture is increasingly considered an important part of creating just and
sustainable cities. Yet the benefits that many people attribute to urban agriculture—
fresh food, green space, educational opportunities—can mask structural inequities,
thereby making political transformation harder to achieve. Realizing social and environmental justice requires moving beyond food production to address deeper issues
such as structural racism, gender inequity, and economic disparities. Beyond the Kale
argues that urban agricultural projects focused explicitly on dismantling oppressive
systems have the greatest potential to achieve substantive social change.
Through in-depth interviews and public forums with some of New York City’s most
prominent urban agriculture activists and supporters, Kristin Reynolds and Nevin
Cohen illustrate how some urban farmers and gardeners not only grow healthy food
for their communities but also use their activities and spaces to disrupt the dynamics
of power and privilege that perpetuate inequity. Addressing a significant gap in the
urban agriculture literature, Beyond the Kale prioritizes the voices of people of color
and women—activists and leaders whose strategies have often been underrepresented
within the urban agriculture movement—and it examines the roles of scholarship in
advancing social justice initiatives.

Tracing the revolutionary shift from small- to
industrial-scale poultry farming in the South
the takeover
Chicken Farming and the Roots
of American Agribusiness
Monica R. Gisolfi
Foreword by Paul S. Sutter
“The Takeover tells us the story of a revolutionary
transformation in agriculture’s business model
that drove tens of thousands of farmers off the
land and rendered others dependent on large
agribusiness firms. It is a complicated story, and
Gisolfi tells it well. She has put a human face
on what, in the hands of another writer, would
essentially be a business and institutional
history. The Takeover offers poignant testimony of
how independent landowners became, in essence,
sharecroppers and shows the impact of that
metamorphosis on them and their families.”
—Melissa Walker, author of Southern Farmers and
Their Stories: Memory and Meaning in Oral History
Economists have described the upcountry Georgia poultry industry as the quintessential agribusiness. Following a trajectory from Reconstruction through the Great
Depression to the present day, Monica R. Gisolfi shows how the poultry farming model
of semivertical integration perfected a number of practices that had first underpinned
the cotton-growing crop-lien system, ultimately transforming the poultry industry
in ways that drove tens of thousands of farmers off the land and rendered those who
remained dependent on large agribusiness firms.
Gisolfi argues that the inequalities inherent in the structure of modern poultry farming have led to steep human and environmental costs. Agribusiness firms—many of
them descended from the cotton-era South’s furnishing merchants—brought farmers
into a system of feed-conversion contracts that placed all production decisions in the
hands of the poultry corporations but at least half of the capital risks on the farmers.
Along the way, the federal government aided and abetted—sometimes unwittingly—
the consolidation of power by poultry firms through direct and indirect subsidies and
favorable policies. Drawing on USDA files, oral history, congressional records, and
poultry publications, Gisolfi puts a local face on one of the twentieth century’s silent
agribusiness revolutions.

keywords for southern studies
Edited by Scott Romine and Jennifer Rae Greeson
In Keywords for Southern Studies, editors Scott Romine and Jennifer Rae Greeson
have compiled an eclectic collection of new essays that address the fluidity of southern studies by adopting a transnational, interdisciplinary focus. The essays are structured around critical terms pertinent both to the field and to modern life in general.
The nonbinary, nontraditional approach of Keywords unmasks and refutes
standard binary thinking—First World/Third World, self/other, for instance—that
postcolonial studies revealed as a flawed rhetorical structure for analyzing empire.
Instead, Keywords promotes a holistic way of thinking that begins with southern
studies but extends beyond.

A reading of the body as a site of
symbolic meaning in the works of
Eudora Welty
eudora welty’s fiction
and photography
The Body of the Other Woman
Harriet Pollack
Drawing on the context in which the protection of the white female body is
symbolically linked with guarding the U.S. southern body politic, Harriet Pollack traces a pattern in Eudora Welty’s fiction in which a sheltered middle-class
daughter is disturbed or delighted by an other-class woman who takes pleasure
in “making a spectacle” of her corporeal self.
Welty herself seeks a parallel self-exposure both through these stories that
pair protected girls with at-risk flashers and through her photography’s innovating representations of the black female body. Welty’s escape from sheltering
continues when, after finding herself in love with a man unwilling to acknowledge his homosexuality and so sharing the silence of his closet, she varies the
plot of the other woman in a series of midcareer fictions.
Additionally, Pollack addresses several critical controversies spawned by
Welty’s handling of other women’s bodies. These concern the comic woman
writer’s relationship to issues of class and feminism, her puzzled-over and
sometimes joyful rape plots, and her handling of race in fictions written when
her region was immersed in its Jim Crow regulation of the black body. Two special features of the book are its significant reading of sixty-two visual images and
its extensive work with Welty’s unpublished manuscripts, in particular those
begun during the turmoil of the civil rights struggle in the 1960s and continuing
through the 1980s.
harriet pollack is professor of English at Bucknell University. She is an editor and coeditor of four collections: Eudora
Welty, Whiteness, and Race (Georgia), Emmett Till in Literary

More life-and-times histories of women
from Virginia
virginia women
Their Lives and Times—Volume 2
Edited by Cynthia A. Kierner
and Sandra Gioia Treadway
This second of two volumes continues the exploration of the history of Virginia
women through the lives of exemplary and remarkable individuals. Seventeen essays written by established and emerging scholars recover the stories and voices of a
diverse group of women, from the transition from slavery to freedom in the period following the Civil War through the struggle to secure rights for gay and lesbian women
in the late twentieth century. 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 well-known women—such as Ellen Glasgow and
Patsy Cline—from a new perspective. Others introduce readers to historical figures
who are less familiar: freedmen schoolteacher Caroline Putnam; reformer Orra Gray
Langhorne; Sadie Heath Cabaniss, the founder of professional nursing in Virginia; and
Marie Kimball, an early preservationist. Essays on cotton textile workers in the late
nineteenth century and home demonstration agents in the early twentieth examine
women’s collective experiences in these important areas. Altogether, the essays in
this collection offer readers an engaging and personal window into the experiences of
women in the Old Dominion.

New insights into the everyday lives of
independent southern women
stepping lively in place
The Not-Married, Free Women of
Civil-War-Era Natchez, Mississippi
Joyce Linda Broussard
Enlivened with profiles and vignettes of some of the remarkable people whose
histories inform this study, Stepping Lively in Place shows how single, free women
navigated life in a busy slave-encrusted river-port town before, during, and after the
Civil War. It examines how single women in one city (including prostitutes, entrepreneurs, and elite plantation ladies) coped with life unencumbered, or unprotected,
by husbands. The book pays close attention to the laws affecting southern gender
and sociocultural traditions, focusing especially on how the town’s single women
maneuvered adroitly but guardedly within the legal arena in which they lived.
Joyce Linda Broussard looks at all types of single women—black and white,
law-abiding and criminal—including spinsters, widows, divorcees, and abandoned women. She demonstrates the nuanced degrees to which these women
understood that the legal, cultural, and social traditions of their place and time
could alternately constrain or empower them, often achieving thereby a considerable amount of independence as women. Before the Civil War, says Broussard,
the town’s patriarchal community tolerated (often reluctantly) even the most
independent-minded (and often disorderly) single women—as long as their behavior left unchallenged the institutions of white male mastery, slavery, and marriage. She explores the impact of the Civil War and Reconstruction on the town’s
single women, especially when thousands of formerly enslaved women and new
widows swelled their ranks. With slavery dead and male authority undermined,
Broussard demonstrates how the not-married women of postbellum Natchez
confronted a world turned inside out with a determinedly resolute dexterity.

The common bonds of civil rights activism
between African Americans and Latino/as
civil rights and beyond
African American and Latino/a Activism in
the Twentieth-Century United States
Edited by Brian D. Behnken
Civil Rights and Beyond examines the dynamic relationships between African
American and Latino/a activists in the United States from the 1930s to the present day. Building on recent scholarship that explores black–Latino/a relations in
the United States, this book pushes the timeframe for the study of interactions
between blacks and a variety of Latino/a groups beyond the standard chronology of
the civil rights era. As such, the book merges a host of community histories—each
with their own distinct historical experiences and activisms—to explore group dynamics, differing strategies and activist moments, and the broader quests of these
communities for rights and social justice.
This book is framed around the concept of “activism,” which most fully encompasses the relationships that blacks and Latinos have enjoyed throughout
the twentieth century. Wide ranging and pioneering, Civil Rights and Beyond
explores black and Latino/a activism from California to Florida, Chicago to
Bakersfield—and a host of other communities and cities—to demonstrate the
complicated nature of African American–Latino/a activism in the twentiethcentury United States.

The crucial and active role of free African
American communities in the development
of antebellum politics
the politics of black citizenship
Free African Americans in the
Mid-Atlantic Borderland, 1817–1863
Andrew K. Diemer
Considering Baltimore and Philadelphia as part of a larger, Mid-Atlantic borderland, The Politics of Black Citizenship shows that the antebellum effort to secure
the rights of American citizenship was central to black politics—it was an effort
that sought to exploit the ambiguities of citizenship and negotiate the complex
national, state, and local politics in which that concept was determined.
In the early nineteenth century, Baltimore and Philadelphia contained the
largest two free black populations in the country, separated by a mere hundred
miles. The counties that lie between them also contained large and vibrant free
black populations in this period. In 1780, Pennsylvania had begun the process
of outlawing slavery, while Maryland would cling desperately to the institution
until the Civil War, and so these were also cities separated by the legal boundary
between freedom and slavery. Despite the fact that slavery thrived in parts of the
state of Maryland, in Baltimore the free black population outnumbered the enslaved so that on the eve of the Civil War there were ten times as many free blacks
in the city of Baltimore as there were slaves.
While free blacks in both cities found that their legal rights were tenuous,
African Americans could not ignore the possible protections the law afforded
them. While they employed diverse tactics in defense of their liberties (for
example, physical violence and the building of autonomous black institutions),
African Americans recognized the importance of public policy and of the political
struggles that helped to shape it.

Essays that explore the expanded canon
of Civil War literature
literary cultures of the civil war
Edited by Timothy Sweet
Addressing texts produced by writers who lived through the Civil War and wrote
about it before the end of Reconstruction, this collection explores the literary cultures of that unsettled moment when memory of the war had yet to be overwritten by later impulses of reunion, reconciliation, or Lost Cause revisionism. The
Civil War reshaped existing literary cultures or enabled new ones. Ensembles
of discourses, conventions, and practices, these cultures offered fresh ways of
engaging a host of givens about American character and values that the war called
into question.
The volume’s contributors look at how literary cultures of the 1860s and
1870s engaged concepts of nation, violence, liberty, citizenship, community, and
identity. At the same time, the essayists analyze the cultures themselves, which
included Euroamerican and African American vernacular oral, manuscript (journals and letters), and print (newspapers, magazines, or books) cultures; overlapping discourses of politics, protest, domesticity, and sentiment; unsettled literary
nationalism and emergent literary regionalism; and vernacular and elite aesthetic
traditions.
These essays point to the variety of literary voices that were speaking out in the
war’s immediate aftermath and help us understand what those voices were saying
and how it was received.

How the pre-Civil War black press defined the
fight for freedom among African Americans
the black newspaper
and the chosen nation
Benjamin Fagan
The Black Newspaper and the Chosen Nation shows how antebellum African
Americans used the newspaper as a means for translating their belief in black
“chosenness” into plans and programs for black liberation. During the decades
leading up to the Civil War, the idea that God had marked black Americans as his
chosen people on earth became a central article of faith in northern black communities, with black newspaper editors articulating it in their journals.
Benjamin Fagan shows how the early black press helped shape the relationship between black chosenness and the struggles for black freedom and equality
in America, in the process transforming the very notion of a chosen American
nation. Exploring how cultures of print helped antebellum black Americans apply
their faith to struggles grand and small, The Black Newspaper and the Chosen Nation uses the vast and neglected archive of the early black press to shed new light
on many of the central figures and questions of African American studies.

The shadow of Edgar Allan Poe in
the work of Jorge Luis Borges
borges’s poe
The Influence and Reinvention of
Edgar Allen Poe in Spanish America
Emron Esplin
Edgar Allan Poe’s image and import shifted during the twentieth century, and
this shift is clearly connected to the work of three writers from the Río de la Plata
region of South America—Uruguayan Horacio Quiroga and Argentines Jorge Luis
Borges and Julio Cortázar. In Borges’s Poe, Emron Esplin focuses on the second
author in this trio and argues that Borges, through a sustained and complex literary relationship with Poe’s works, served as the primary catalyst that changed
Poe’s image throughout Spanish America from a poet-prophet to a timeless fiction writer.
Most scholarship that couples Poe and Borges focuses primarily on each
writer’s detective stories, refers only occasionally to their critical writings and
the remainder of their fiction, and deemphasizes the cultural context in which
Borges interprets Poe. In this book, Esplin explores Borges’s and Poe’s published
works and several previously untapped archival resources to reveal an even more
complex literary relationship between the two writers. Emphasizing the spatial
and temporal context in which Borges interprets Poe—the Río de la Plata region
from the 1920s through the 1980s—Borges’s Poe underlines Poe’s continual presence in Borges’s literary corpus. More important, it demonstrates how Borges’s
literary criticism, his Poe translations, and his own fiction create a disparate Poe
who serves as a precursor to Borges’s own detective and fantastic stories and as
an inspiration to the so-called Latin American Boom.
Seen through this more expansive context, Borges’s Poe shows that literary
influence runs both ways since Poe’s writings visibly affect Borges the poet, story
writer, essayist, and thinker while Borges’s analyses and translations of Poe’s
work and his responses to Poe’s texts in his own fiction forever change how readers of Poe return to his literary corpus.

How racial and ethnic populations in America
influenced notions of sovereignty throughout
the nineteenth century
divided sovereignties
Race, Nationhood, and Citizenship in
Nineteenth-Century America
Rochelle Raineri Zuck
In eighteenth- and nineteenth-century debates about the constructions of
American nationhood and national citizenship, the frequently invoked concept
of divided sovereignty signified the division of power between state and federal
authorities and/or the possibility of one nation residing within the geopolitical
boundaries of another. Political and social realities of the nineteenth century—
such as immigration, slavery, westward expansion, Indigenous treaties, and
financial panics—amplified anxieties about threats to national/state sovereignty.
Rochelle Raineri Zuck argues that, in the decades between the ratification of
the Constitution and the publication of Sutton Griggs’s novel Imperium in Imperio in 1899, four populations were most often referred to as racial and ethnic nations within the nation: the Cherokees, African Americans, Irish Americans, and
Chinese immigrants. Writers and orators from these groups engaged the concept
of divided sovereignty to assert alternative visions of sovereignty and collective allegiance (not just ethnic or racial identity), to gain political traction, and
to complicate existing formations of nationhood and citizenship. Their stories
intersected with issues that dominated nineteenth-century public argument and
contributed to the Civil War.
In five chapters focused on these groups, Zuck reveals how constructions of
sovereignty shed light on a host of concerns including regional and sectional tensions; territorial expansion and jurisdiction; economic uncertainty; racial, ethnic,
and religious differences; international relations; immigration; and arguments
about personhood, citizenship, and nationhood.

An insightful examination on the debates
surrounding the right of the people to propose
changes to the U.S. Constitution
conventional wisdom
The Alternate Article V Mechanism for Proposing
Amendments to the U.S. Constitution
John R. Vile
Article V of the Constitution allows two-thirds majorities of both houses of Congress
to propose amendments to the document and a three-fourths majority of the states
to ratify them. Scholars and frustrated advocates of constitutional change have often
criticized this process for being too difficult. Despite this, state legislatures have yet
to use the other primary method that Article V outlines for proposing amendments: it
permits two-thirds of the state legislatures to petition Congress to call a convention to
propose amendments that, like those proposed by Congress, must be ratified by threefourths of the states.
In this book, John R. Vile surveys more than two centuries of scholarship on
Article V and concludes that the weight of the evidence (including a much-overlooked
Federalist essay) indicates that states and Congress have the legal right to limit the
scope of such conventions to a single subject and that political considerations would
make a runaway convention unlikely. Charting a prudent course between those who
fail to differentiate revolutionary change from constitutional change, those who fear
ever using the Article V convention mechanism that the Framers clearly envisioned,
and those who would vest total control of the convention in Congress, the states, or the
convention itself, Vile’s work will enhance modern debates on the subject.

The case for more replication studies,

and new ideas
new explorations into
international relations
Democracy, Foreign Investment, Terrorism, and Conflict
Seung-Whan Choi
This book addresses a range of issues surrounding the search for scientific truths in
the study of international conflict and international political economy. Unlike empirical studies in other disciplines, says Seung-Whan Choi, many political studies seem
more competent at presenting theoretical conjecture and hypotheses than they are at
performing rigorous empirical analyses. When we study global issues like democratic
institutions, flows of foreign direct investment, international terrorism, civil wars, and
international conflict, we often uncritically adopt established theoretical frameworks
and research designs. The natural assumption is that well-known and widely cited
studies, once ingrained within the tradition of the discipline, should not be challenged
or refuted.
However, do such noted research areas reflect scientific truth? Choi looks closely at
ten widely cited empirical studies that represent well-known research programs in
international relations. His discussions address such statistical and theoretical issues
as endogeneity bias, model specification error, fixed effects, theoretical predictability,
outliers, normality of regression residuals, and choice of estimation techniques. In
addition, scientific progress made by remarkable discoveries usually results from
finding a new way of thinking about long-held scientific truths, therefore Choi also
demonstrates how one may search for novel ideas at minimal cost by developing new
research designs with original data.
Here is a valuable resource for students, scholars, and policy makers who want to
quickly grasp the evolutionary pattern of scientific research on democracy, foreign
investment, terrorism, and conflict; build their research designs and choose appropriate statistical techniques; and identify their own agendas for the production of cuttingedge research.

New insights on the use of cyber
technology in warfare
the decision to attack
Military and Intelligence Cyber Decision-Making
Aaron Franklin Brantly
discussed:
• The Key Concepts of Cyber
• The Motivation and Utility for Covert Action
• Digital Power
• Anonymity and Attribution in Cyberspace
• Cyber and Conventional Operations:
The Dynamics of Conflict
• Defining the Role of Intelligence in Cyberspace
• How actors decide to use cyber—a rational
choice approach
• Cognitive Processes and Decision-Making
in Cyberspace
• Finding meaning in the expected utility of
international cyber conflict
The debate over cyber technology has resulted in new considerations for national
security operations. States find themselves in an increasingly interconnected
world with a diverse threat spectrum and little understanding of how decisions
are made within this amorphous domain.
With The Decision to Attack, Aaron Franklin Brantly investigates how states
decide to employ cyber in military and intelligence operations against other
states and how rational those decisions are. In his examination, Brantly contextualizes broader cyber decision-making processes into a systematic expected
utility–rational choice approach to provide a mathematical understanding of
the use of cyber weapons at the state level.

targeting discretion
A Guide for Command Staff, Frontline Officers, and Students
Casey LaFrance
“LaFrance’s target model of discretion explains
and visually displays the intensity levels of nine
potential influences on street-level bureaucrats’
decision-making behavior. This excellent model
helps researchers predict how street-level
bureaucrats will react in any given situation or
organization.”—Richard R. Johnson, PhD, criminal
justice professor at the University of Toledo
“Having experience in both frontline police
work and management in a small department, I
regularly see the variation in mission priorities
between ‘the brass’ and the line officer, as well
as the struggle to reconcile those differences.
LaFrance’s work has helped demystify the
communication disconnect that leads to that
disparity and has been a valuable tool in bringing
each view closer in line with the other.”
—Israel D. Segers, assistant chief of Alto,
Georgia’s police department
Since the 1970s, frontline officers and police command staff have been trained to view
discretion as a “doughnut hole.” Unfortunately, this model is becoming stale in an era
of complex relationships, fuzzy boundaries, and multiple accountability considerations. In this book, Casey LaFrance builds off of his work on police discretion to present a fresh alternative theoretical framework for discussing discretion and improving
communication about it in law enforcement agencies. Rather than being bound by a
single ring of constraint, the target model envisions discretionary decision-making
as the product of multiple variables that deserve unique consideration. Moreover, the
model provides a visual and practical method of articulating each of the factors that
limit or influence discretion while affording scholars and practitioners the ability to
compare and contrast the priority levels that officers and command staff attach to
each factor.
Practicing police managers and trainers will find that the book provides case examples from process consultation and organization development interventions, along
with a step-by-step guide and other resources (glossary, sample scenarios, strategicplanning guides) that law enforcement agencies can use to employ the target model
in a host of training activities. Scholars interested in the topic of police discretion will
appreciate the variety of qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches used
to explore the puzzle of discretion, the author’s intriguing findings, and the potential
for future research rooted in this framework.
