BEYOND CORN AND CAUCUSES Iowa and the American Cultural Imagination Anna Thompson Hajdik Beyond Corn and Caucuses is an interdisciplinary exploration of Iowa's modern history and identity through visual culture that offers fresh insights into a state that has too often been stereotyped as flat, bland, and homogeneous.
JUNE 240 pages | 6 x 9 in. | 37 color illus., 15 b&w photos PB: 978-0-253-07842-1 | $30 (SDT) | £23 HC: 978-0-253-07841-4 | $85 (LB) | £66 Also available as an e-book
“ This book challenges an overly simplistic image of Iowa and places Iowa and the Midwest at the center of a national conversation about American identity and politics. . . . Hajdik convincingly argues we cannot understand the deep fissures and fundamental realities of our collective identity without reference to Iowa."
Combining art history, American studies, politics, film studies, and tourism studies, author Anna Thompson Hajdik tells new stories about the state and makes connections between past and present, the regional and the national, and myth and reality. Through six case studies focused on a different depiction of the state, Hajdik unravels how the image of Iowa has morphed over time into a totemic symbol of the nation's character. From films like Field of Dreams and The Music Man to vibrant public art and coverage of the Iowa caucuses, Beyond Corn and Caucuses asks readers to consider how the intersection of regional and national identity has taken root in a place like Iowa and how its visual culture can play a significant role in shaping collective public memory. More than just a chronological history of Iowa, Beyond Corn and Caucuses reclaims and elevates the history and culture of the American Midwest.
ANNA THOMPSON HAJDIK is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Literature, Writing, and Film at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
HEARTLAND HISTORY
Jon K. Lauck, editor
THE AMERICAN MIDWEST AND THE IDEA OF REGIONALISM Michael C. Steiner The American Midwest and the Idea of Regionalism traces the birth, rise, and evolution of regional thought in the American Midwest from the concept's emergence in the 1890s to its national and global implications in the early twenty-first century. In three parts, author Michael C. Steiner describes how the idea of regionalism arose from the American Midwest, drawing connections between and across many of the cultural movements and actors of US history. First, Steiner outlines how the Middle West, as a constellation of Native and settler cultures, gave rise to the nation's first regional thought. He then focuses on the lives and theories of the most significant contributors to this philosophy—John Wesley Powell, Jane Addams, Frederick Jackson Turner, and Hamlin Garland—before examining its evolution in the first half of the twentieth century with the influence of Black intellectuals and artists, from Langston Hughes and Gordon Parks to Margaret Walker and Richard Wright. Following their enduring impact through works of the latter part of the century, Steiner completes his survey with the wide-ranging works of Gwendolyn Brooks, Nelson Algren, and Meridel Le Sueur. Finally, he considers how regionalism has expanded and evolved as a "forever agenda" into our current era. A deep dive into the rich patchwork of racial, ethnic, and radical cultures that is the Midwest, The American Midwest and the Idea of Regionalism is a creative intellectual history that will appeal to a wide range of readers.
MICHAEL C. STEINER is Professor Emeritus of American Studies at California State University, Fullerton. He has received the 2027 MidAmerica Award from the Society for the Study of Midwestern Literature for distinguished contributions to the study of Midwestern literature.

CENSORING THE CITY
PATHS TO POSSESSION
Chicago, Morality, and the Politics of Cinema, 1895–1920
Transportation Infrastructure and American Expansion Through Native Land
Gerald R. Butters, Jr. Censoring the City explores the intimate ties between motion picture censorship in Chicago and political power during the Progressive Era, beginning with the earliest attempts to control penny arcades and peep shows in the mid-1890s.

“ A thoroughly researched and utterly fascinating book [that] will undoubtedly change the way that film history is taught and understood.” —Racquel Gates, author of Double Negative: The Black Image and Popular Culture
While the Chicago Police Department oversaw motion picture censorship from its origins, they were never truly in control of it; rather, various social and religious organizations in the city pressured Democratic and Republican mayors to censor materials they thought were offensive. These Progressive reformers, many of whom were women, believed that motion pictures and the theaters that exhibited them needed censorship to protect children from becoming criminals or morally loose—but there was also a nativist quality to these attempts, and racial, ethnic, and religious characterizations, as well as a push for neutrality during World War I, further challenged the boundaries of what would be accepted on screen. “Obscenity” and “immorality” proved difficult for the censorship board to define, however, and theater owners, distributors, and movie studios consistently contested censorship of their entertainment by the government. Black Chicagoans demonstrated real agency during this era as well, both as members of the Chicago Censor Board and as activists, self-censoring racial imagery. Offering the first comprehensive history of motion picture censorship in turn-of-the-century Chicago, Censoring the City illustrates how motion picture content and the theaters that exhibited them were directly connected to municipal politics, which the city’s mayors ignored at their own political peril.

James R. Stocker Paths to Possession explores the history of America's western expansion through the lens of transportation infrastructure from the beginning of European settlement in North America through the Early American Republic era. In this wide-ranging survey of emerging transportation systems based on roads, water, and rail, author James R. Stocker demonstrates how they transformed spaces already inhabited by Indigenous communities into American territory. These routes shaped travel and trade, facilitating the expansion of colonial power, the projection of military force, and the acquisition of wealth through land speculation and economic development. Transportation corridors benefited European settlers, but Indigenous communities also leveraged their control over these routes to co-opt and resist the settlers' advancement. Featuring seventeen original maps, Paths to Possession provides a new interpretation of the rise of American power grounded in material factors and sheds new light on the history of western expansion and the dispossession of Indigenous peoples.

STRUCTURAL MEDIA CAPTURE A Framework for Journalism, Politics, and Platform Power in the Global South Bouziane Zaid Structural Media Capture challenges the ways we think about media freedom around the world. Media systems have long been judged against a liberal Western model of a free press. Countries are ranked, compared, and labeled based on how closely they resemble this ideal. But what if this framework misses deeper forces shaping how media actually operates?
FEBRUARY 230 pages | 6 x 9 in. PB: 978-0-253-07752-3 | $38 (SDT) | £30 HC: 978-0-253-07751-6 | $90 (LB) | £70 Also available as an e-book
“ Zaid's context-specific approach offers a more viable approach to designing policy interventions, because it understands threats to media freedom emerging from particular conditions, which include specific contextual dynamics as well as the new digital environment and its attendant power structures and processes."
Bouziane Zaid argues that the complexities and constraints of media systems, especially those in the Global South, fail to be captured through a simple free-versus-not-free lens. Instead of focusing only on censorship or press laws, Zaid explores how journalism is shaped by long-term political histories, economic structures, state-media relationships, and the growing power of global digital platforms. Structural Media Capture shifts the focus from abstract ideals to the structural conditions that shape media autonomy over time. It shows how journalism has been shaped by state structures and ownership patterns as well as regulatory frameworks and is increasingly driven by the invisible logics of digital platforms. In contemporary media systems, influence is rarely sudden or absolute. It is embedded in the conditions that determine what media organizations can afford to produce, how they reach audiences, and what becomes sustainable over time. Drawing on Morocco as a case study and speaking to wider global realities, Structural Media Capture reframes and de-westernizes the study of media systems. It moves beyond imported models and offers a grounded framework for understanding how media operates and how meaningful reform must be designed within these structural conditions.
CLOWN CULTURE Comedy and Horror from Farce to Film Adam Geczy Clown Culture takes a serious look at the phenomenon of clowns in media across history from antiquity to contemporary film, comics, and popular culture. Clowns may delight, but they also horrify. To what extent are they embodied extensions of ourselves? More than just slapstick comedy, the clown serves as an avatar to help us make sense of our everyday lives. In this multidisciplinary study, Adam Geczy combines anthropology, psychology, material culture, literature, film, and art to understand clowns in relation to power, imagination, and affective excess. By diving into the history and psychology of clowns, Geczy demonstrates that clowns, buffoons, and fools are an essential alias to the so-called well-adjusted individual. The figure acts as a proxy, an archetype of role-play in which the audience, as socialized beings, navigate and negotiate their relationship with others while dealing with a fragmented self-image and curtailed (and sometimes unruly) desires. From ancient dolls, Shakespearean fools, and Charlie Chaplin to Poltergeist, the Terrifier franchise, and the tragicomic television series Baskets, Clown Culture demonstrates the important roles clowns can take as we try to fit in as messy, desire-driven individuals.
ADAM GECZY is an artist and writer who teaches at the University of Sydney.

THE MANY MANIFESTATIONS OF FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA'S THE GODFATHER SERIES edited by Ryan Calabretta-Sajder and Alan J. Gravano The Many Manifestations of Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather Series explores how The Godfather has shaped the way the world understands Sicily, Italy, and Italian American life and how those places and people have pushed back.

“ This volume reveals how valuable The Godfather— including Puzo's novel, Coppola's three-film trilogy, Coppola's Coda, and other ancillary texts—is. . . . As the editors acknowledge, there is a wealth of material on The Godfather, and yet I still found many of the essays to offer novel approaches to the text." —Jonathan J. Cavallero, author of Hollywood's Italian American Filmmakers: Capra, Scorsese, Savoca, Coppola, and Tarantino
Drawing on new research and on-site fieldwork in Sicily, the contributors to this volume explore, illustrate, and reveal how the Godfather films were made, how they circulate across countries and cultures, and how audiences have adopted, parodied, and integrated the Corleone story into everyday life. Touching on topics such as fandom, tourism, language, food, music, and visual style, these essays demonstrate how The Godfather has become far more than a set of movies: It has become a shared global myth. But myths can distort as much as they illuminate, and this volume investigates what versions of Italy and Sicily the trilogy puts on screen, how accurate or misleading those images are, and what they mean for the Italians, Sicilians, and Italian Americans who live in their shadow. A fresh, international perspective on a classic saga, The Many Manifestations of Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather Series is an essential volume for anyone who has ever wondered why The Godfather still matters, and to whom.

FLICKERS OF DOUBT
OPEN ACCESS
Music in Reticent/Ambiguous Cinema James Wierzbicki Flickers of Doubt explores the role that music plays in films whose storytelling is far from straightforward. Compared to the classical style of cinema that weaves verbal, visual, and sonic information together to produce a perfectly coherent narrative, the cinema studied here generates an aura of uncertainty—it is a cinema characterized as much by reticence as by ambiguity. After introducing key musical signals of ambiguity in film, author James Wierzbicki gives a close look and listen to celebrated works of uncertain cinema, from early surrealist efforts by Luis Buñuel and Jean Cocteau to the postwar art cinema of Jean-Luc Godard and Ingmar Bergman and from the cinematic dreams of David Lynch and Andrei Tarkovsky to the fraught and unsettling narratives by Yorgos Lanthimos and Lars von Trier. Rather than simply telling readers how music functions in this mode of cinema, Flickers of Doubt instead offers a framework for thinking about sonicity in such films, demonstrating the myriad ways that both music and the absence thereof can obscure a narrative's meaning. In keeping with its title, Flickers of Doubt ultimately offers more questions than answers, inviting readers to work out for themselves the significance of music in these evocative films while at the same time reminding them that they are not alone if their efforts prove inconclusive.
JAMES WIERZBICKI is a retired Associate Professor of Musicology at the University of Sydney. He is author most recently of When Music Mattered: American Music in the Sixties; Terrence Malick: Sonic Style; and Music in the Age of Anxiety: American Music in the Fifties.

THE BAROQUE TROMBONE An Illustrated History Stewart Carter The Baroque Trombone traces the development of the instrument from the early seventeenth century, when it was widely used throughout Europe, to the middle of the eighteenth century, by which time it was hardly known outside of German-speaking regions.
JUNE 304 pages | 7 x 10 in. | 83 b&w photos, 56 printed music items HC: 978-0-253-07809-4 | $60 (LB) | £47
Author Stewart Carter explores the evolution of the role this storied instrument has played in a variety of performance contexts, which once included churches, towns, and royal courts, as well as how social roles and practices for the trombone varied from one country to another. The Baroque Trombone also traces how the instrument's physical characteristics have changed over time, with more than sixty images that reveal the instrument's different forms, its constituent parts, and how they affect the way the baroque trombone was played. Featuring over twenty musical examples that illustrate the breadth and highlights of the instrument's repertory, from ensembles to solos, with excerpts from works by Claudio Monteverdi, Heinrich Schütz, Dieterich Buxtehude, George Frederick Handel, and Johann Sebastian Bach, The Baroque Trombone is a fitting tribute to this expressive instrument.
Also available as an e-book
“ An invaluable, important, and original contribution to scholarship and likely to be a definitive source for the understanding of the trombone in this period of music history . . . [and] it will be a standard reference and source book for musicologists, cultural historians, and performers." —Trevor Herbert, author of The Trombone

OPEN ACCESS
The Birth of the Mounted Band Bruce P. Gleason Cavalry Trumpeters and Kettledrummers is the first history of how horse-mounted musicians shaped military ceremony, communication, and culture from the Middle Ages into the 20th century. Blending musicology, military history, and cultural studies, author Bruce P. Gleason draws on archival sources, visual materials, and military records from across Europe and beyond to trace how these mounted musicians evolved from military signalers to symbols of prestige, discipline, and power. Beginning with the use of trumpeters and kettledrummers in Middle Eastern armies during the Crusades, Gleason details how these traditions entered European military practice through intercultural encounters and exchange, eventually expanding to include other instruments and resulting in fanfare ensembles of trumpets and horns, mounted brass ensembles, and larger mounted bands that combined woodwinds, brass, and percussion. Gleason examines their operational roles, ceremonial functions, and influence on both military and civilian musical traditions. Richly illustrated and grounded in meticulous research, Cavalry Trumpeters and Kettledrummers tells the story of how mounted military music became one of the most striking and enduring traditions in Western culture, revealing a world where music, ceremony, and warfare were deeply connected.
BRUCE P. GLEASON is Professor of Music History and Music Education and Chair of the Department of Music, Film & Creative Enterprise at the University of St. Thomas.

“ The significance of this analysis goes beyond the scope of a case study . . . [allowing] the author to inquire about the transformative power of music practices." —Juan Fernando Velásquez Ospina, author of Los ecos de la villa: la música en los periódicos y revistas de Medellín (1886–1903)
Drums of Libertad explores this process of community building, bringing together bullerengue, hip-hop, and traditional song-games to demonstrate how they facilitate social cohesion, cooperation, and the construction of a strong Afro-Colombian identity. Author Juan Sebastián Rojas E. presents a novel methodology by posing critical debates around the roles of art, culture, and applied scholarship in peacebuilding efforts. Embracing a collaborative research agenda, Rojas E. illuminates the lifeways and experiences of individual artists and activists in Caribbean Colombia and, at the same time, explores local revivals of Afro-diasporic music practices as peacebuilding initiatives through the lens of grassroots leadership. A vibrant contribution to the development of South American ethnomusicology, Drums of Libertad shows us how local musical cultures, the social networks of community leaders, and the creative resilience of socially engaged musicians interact to spark the reconstruction of communal ties through affect and empathy.

ACTIVIST ENCOUNTERS IN FOLKLORE AND ETHNOMUSICOLOGY
SONGBOOK FOR A REVOLUTION The Nuovo Canzoniere Italiano, Popular Culture, and the Left in 1960s Italy Rachel E. Love Songbook for a Revolution tells the story of how songs and performance became effective political tools in Italy through a critical history of a radical folk music collective in 1962 Milan, the Nuovo Canzoniere Italiano (NCI) or "New Italian Songbook." Leftist intellectuals, young songwriters, and working-class musicians who made up the NCI used field research, live performance, and recorded albums to amplify marginalized voices and put to music an alternative vision of Italian culture and politics. With extensive archival and multimedia research, author Rachel E. Love shows how the NCI innovated the use of folk songs to create a new activist culture and, in the process, tap into the revolutionary energies of this remarkable historical moment. Love traces the political tensions of this musical world: the embrace of working-class voices as political expression alongside the marketing of protest music within the wider music industry, the complex adaptation of US influences, and the group's role within the rise and fall of the Italian new left. Featuring original oral history interviews with eight former NCI members, Love also examines their intertwining memories of personal loss and the grief of revolutionary dreams deferred. Readers will learn how the stories of song and protest pioneered by the NCI became the soundtrack of an intense and transformative period of Italian history. A provocative exploration of the relationship between folk music and dissent, Songbook for a Revolution illustrates how an innovative group of singers and researchers catalyzed a musical counterculture to challenge party politics, raise the stakes for artists, and provide a platform for the cultural expressions of ordinary people.

BASKETS AND THE BURDENS THEY BEAR Craft in Changing Communities Jon Kay Baskets and the Burdens They Bear explores how a seemingly simple woven object can sustain community resilience and personal well-being. Once common household tools, baskets carry family stories and memories while allowing makers to express identity and find purpose and meaning in their lives.

“ Yes, this is about Indiana basketry. Yet there is appeal for many audiences as Kay touches on universal themes of cultural preservation, generational communications, the tension between 'traditional' and 'contemporary' creative designations, and integration of ethnic communities into new situations."
Tracing the lives of individual makers across Indiana from the 1800s to the present, author Jon Kay demonstrates that baskets and other traditional arts are not obsolete objects but time-tested and community-proven strategies for navigating life's challenges. While some may no longer need baskets for their modern lives, everyone still needs the work that basketry once provided—fostering social and intergenerational reciprocity, strengthening personal and community well-being, and cultivating a sense of mastery and satisfaction. Kay remembers the dozens of basket makers he has researched, documented, and worked with over the course of his life as a folklorist, including a Miami artist's revitalization of elm bark basketry, the hidden history of Brown County's oak rod baskets, the traditional knowledge of Mennonite basket making, and the work done by two refugees in Indianapolis who repurpose plastic strapping to recreate baskets they learned to make as boys in Burma. From essential farm tools to symbols of a romanticized pioneer past, avenues to develop individual artistry, and sustainable projects that look toward the future, these everyday creative practices forge intergenerational connections, foster personal resilience, and sustain community wellbeing. Featuring a local study with a universal message, Baskets and the Burdens They Bear reveals the true burden baskets and other everyday expressive acts carry: their enduring ability to connect people to one another and to the places where they make their home.
JON KAY is Associate Professor of Folklore and Ethnomusicology and Director of Traditional Arts Indiana at Indiana University Bloomington.

THE ORACLE AND THE TEMPLE
OPEN ACCESS
From Medieval Geomancy to the Ifa Church (Nigeria, Benin) Erwan Dianteill How does an oracle become a church? In Nigeria in the early 1930s, the African Church of Ifa was founded by Adebanjo Olorunfunmi Osiga, who combined the doctrinal, moral, and ritual foundations of Anglican Christianity, which he converted to in his youth, with precolonial Yoruba beliefs and the medieval practice of divination through geomancy to create a new form of worship. The Oracle and the Temple traces the unexpected journey of these ideas and practices across centuries and continents. Drawing on years of fieldwork in Benin and a remarkable collection of primary sources (including eight by Osiga), author Erwan Dianteill reveals how a system of divination became a structured religion with its own clergy, liturgy, and moral code. In addition to Sunday services in a temple, diviners claiming to speak for the god of Destiny (Fa or Ifa) deliver oracles to guide the faithful in their private lives. These practices, while combining to form a whole religion, remain distinct in terms of time and space, with temple and oracle functioning parallel to each other. Rigorous yet accessible, The Oracle and the Temple illustrates how African diviners engaged with Christianity, writing, and institutions to transform inherited practices without abandoning their cosmological foundations. The result is a compelling account of religious creativity, where tradition is not preserved without change, but reworked into new, enduring forms.
ERWAN DIANTEILL is a French anthropologist and Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Paris Cité University. He is author of three books in French.

“ The truth is, contemporary decolonial theory needs this book. The Fool and the Scoundrels finds that rare pearl in murky academic waters: a way forward. . . . While it specifically treats the question of republicanism in political theory, this is essentially a book about living together meaningfully in the twentyfirst century."
Against both these failures, author Santiago CastroGómez advances the idea of transmodern republicanism, a philosophical and political alternative grounded in a shared condition of human vulnerability. Rather than abandoning universality or reaffirming Eurocentric narratives, this book proposes a reconfiguration of the common as a historically entangled and transcultural field shaped by colonial encounters, conflict, and interdependence. Castro-Gómez combines genealogy, political theory, and critical dialogue with contemporary feminist philosophy to challenge dominant accounts of modernity and republicanism, recovering neglected archives and proposing a new way of conceptualizing politics as the collective responsibility of sustaining life under conditions of fragility and exposure. Reframing modernity and republicanism, The Fool and the Scoundrels grounds politics in shared vulnerability, offering a transmodern vision of the common with major implications for decolonial, neoliberal, and global justice debates.

DECOLONIAL AESTHETICS Latin American and Caribbean Cartographies of Resistance Miguel Gualdrón Ramírez Decolonial Aesthetics is the first book-length treatment of the idea of a decolonial aesthetics from a philosophical perspective. It offers a taxonomy of Latin American and Caribbean theories and practices of resistance, advocating for a materialist turn that both criticizes the coloniality of the aesthetic realm and also aims at a creative fostering and protection of the aesthetic relationality of those who are already resisting, mobilizing, and creating sense. Drawing from a myriad of regions, languages, and cultures, author Miguel Gualdrón Ramírez analyzes the aesthetic theories and practices of a variety of Latin American and Caribbean artists, philosophers, and activists, illuminating the cultural and everyday practices of people in the Americas to illustrate the work of coloniality and resistance to its implementation. By situating the decolonial work at the level of aesthetics, this book enables an understanding of the enduring legacy of colonialism that is often overlooked, opens new paths for resistance and transformation, creates dialogue between traditions, and makes a call for their coalition and interconnection. A disruption to traditional, Western aesthetic categories and hierarchies, Decolonial Aesthetics offers an alternative approach to the intellectual history of aesthetic thought, one that is inseparable from political, historical, and cultural considerations and practices.

REFUGEES WITHOUT REFUGE
REIMAGINING CHINA
Migration as Escape When Asylum and Protection Fail
Youth Culture and the Search for Identity in a Post-Pandemic Era

Refugees Without Refuge explores what it means to be a refugee without asylum or protection in the Horn of Africa, from the perspectives of people on the move and the people who help them escape. Many refugees today escape home by migrating abroad—leaving without passports, visas, or protection from deportation or criminalization. They are refugees without refuge.

Through an "ethnofictional" intergenerational migration story told in comic form as well as extensive ethnographic, historical, and policy research, Refugees Without Refuge provides a unique case study of Oromo Ethiopians as they travel eastward—often invisibly on remote trails and at night to avoid detection—through the harsh deserts and mountain ranges of Djibouti and on boats to cross the Red Sea, with dreams of work and a new life in the Middle East. Intertwining evocative artwork, storytelling, and scholarship, Refugees Without Refuge demands we look anew at the courage and creativity of refugees and critically assess the tactics and missions of the international humanitarian organizations and governments who purport to assist and protect them.

Reimagining China explores the lives and cultural imaginations of China's millennials and Generation Z, those born from the mid-1980s to the turn of the millennium amid unprecedented social transformations in both China and the world. Through their aspirations, disillusionment, resistance, and resilience, this book reveals how young Chinese are reimagining both themselves and a rapidly changing nation. This timely study is grounded in six years of fieldwork, dozens of focus group discussions, and intensive interviews and is informed by European youth studies and the British Cultural Studies tradition. Author Wendy Su identifies and investigates five key themes that define contemporary Chinese youth cultures and subcultures in a post-pandemic era: youth popular nationalism, youth idealism, lying flat-ism and nonviolent resistance, fan culture, and global imagination through the reception of Western and Eastern screen culture. These thematic focal points capture the diverse and often contradictory responses of Chinese youth to the rapidly shifting sociopolitical landscape. Additionally, Su critically examines the evolving relationship between the state and youth, paying particular attention to how young people navigate and negotiate the dual forces shaping their cultural expressions and identities, namely, state authority and market capitalism. By focusing on the cultural practices, experiences, and expressions of young Chinese people, Reimagining China explores the search for collective identity amid conflicting discourses of national and global development and suggests the contours of a viable, pluralistic modernity rooted in shared Asian values and post-Western global imaginaries.

CLIMATE JUSTICE IN THE CITY Power, Inequality, and the Mobilization for Change edited by Gustavo A. García López, Prakash Kashwan, and Lauren M. MacLean

Climate Justice in the City spotlights the fight for climate justice mobilizing from the ground up in cities of the Global South, centering community environmental activism and local movements. With contributions from practitioners, artists, and scholars in environmental science, geography, economics, political science, art history, architecture, and sustainable design, this edited volume examines people's basic life needs and livelihoods where the climate crisis is most keenly experienced: from water scarcity to electricity outages, from shrinking greenspaces to constraints on mobility, from heat islands to faulty building design. Its essays focus on major Global South cities, such as Accra, Delhi, Cairo, Beijing, and Buenos Aires, as well as pockets of the "South" in the North, such as New York City. These cities are marked by sharp inequalities in the social and environmental impacts of uneven urban development, which are aggravated by the climate crisis. Yet these cities also house initiatives at the forefront of climate-just solutions.

Offering an in-depth, accessible, and comparative analysis that draws on extended engagements with a diverse group of activists and scholars, Climate Justice in the City is a call to action for all, highlighting not only structural inequalities but also the solutions and community-based initiatives being mobilized from the ground up.

IDENTITY AND CONFLICT IN THE SAHEL Narratives on Tuareg and Fulani edited by Adib Bencherif and Abdoulaye Kane The Sahel has become one of the world's most closely watched regions, yet its peoples are often portrayed through simplified narratives of violence, extremism, and instability. Identity and Conflict in the Sahel offers a different perspective by exploring how identities, memories, and political claims are narrated, contested, and transformed among two of the region's most prominent communities: the Fulani and the Tuareg. Bringing together leading scholars from anthropology, political science, history, and sociology, this volume examines how community leaders, activists, religious figures, artists, and diaspora networks shape stories about belonging, marginalization, justice, and conflict. From social media campaigns and political mobilization to oral traditions, music, and historical memory, the contributors show how narratives influence both local realities and international understandings of the Sahel. Instead of reducing the Tuareg, Fulani, and other Sahel ethnic groups to "questions" or "problems" for the state, the contributors in this volume reveal the diversity and internal debates within Fulani and Tuareg societies, highlighting questions of status, race, gender, religion, and power. They also demonstrate how competing narratives can fuel polarization but also create opportunities for dialogue and coexistence. At a time when the Sahel faces overlapping political, security, ecological, and social crises, Identity and Conflict in the Sahel provides a nuanced and timely exploration of how communities make sense of a rapidly changing world—and how storytelling itself has become a key arena of power in the region.

SOVEREIGNTY AND SAINTHOOD 'Umar Tall, Islamic Epistemology, and Political Imagination in West Africa, 1800–1864 Amir Syed Through his transmission of new Islamic ritual practices and ideas on sainthood and sovereignty, the Sufi scholar 'Umar Fūtī Tall built an expansive community of followers in precolonial West Africa and ultimately established an independent polity that was likely larger than the state of California. While 'Umar Tall has drawn significant scholarly attention, historians have largely focused on his political and military activities and, in doing so, have failed to account for how he performed a new articulation of authority that combined his personas as a scholar, saint, and sovereign.

“ Syed offers for the first time a detailed close reading of 'Umar Tall's writings and reconstructs his career to bring to the fore this multidimensional aspect of his life and thought . . . contribut[ing] to our understanding of how Islamic scholars engaged in political rule while explicitly conceptualizing authority at the intersection of religion, spirituality, and power in 19th-century Islamic Africa." —Zekeria Ahmed Salem, author of Prêcher dans le désert. Islam Politique et Changement Social
22 | AFRICAN STUDIES
Sovereignty and Sainthood addresses this gap, challenging modern secular narratives on the relationship between religion and politics as well as teleological approaches to 'Umar Tall that understand him only as a traditional king or a state builder. Amir Syed carefully engages with a wide range of Arabic source material, including 'Umar Tall's own writings, to uncover the theological basis of his political practices and links them to Muslim understandings of divine sovereignty. By tracing and investigating the multiple layers of 'Umar Tall's authority while contextualizing how his influence shifted over time, Syed demonstrates how his role as a ruler was consistent with his role as a scholar, both roles being otherworldly oriented. Providing an unprecedented look at the life of a spiritual and military leader, Sovereignty and Sainthood provides a new lens for understanding the relationship between Islam and politics in West Africa.

THE HOUSE OF GOD AND THE TOMB OF THE PROPHET Ottoman Images of Mecca and Medina Sabİha Göloğlu Known as the Haramayn, the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina were centers of knowledge and image production for the Ottoman Empire as well as crucial nodes for the movement of people and objects. Ottoman images of these two cities and of their most sacred monuments captured shared histories and experiences, described pilgrimage rites to future travelers, indicated the direction of prayer toward Mecca, guided those who prayed for divine aid, and more. The House of God and the Tomb of the Prophet explores the many representations of the Haramayn produced in and circulated across Ottoman lands from the sixteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Author Sabiha Göloğlu examines an extensive variety of media and artifacts, from the visual (paintings, prints, and photographs) to the material (ceramics, prayer rugs, and qibla compasses) and the textual (Qur'anic verses, invocations, and poems in Arabic, Persian, and Ottoman Turkish)—all while highlighting their setting, production, function, and circulation. She also explores how these images were mobilized across different regions, periods, and media, enabling virtual pilgrimages, innovative drawing techniques, and multisensory engagement. With more than 150 color photographs paired with multifaceted examinations of Haramayn depictions, The House of God and the Tomb of the Prophet uncovers how and why Ottoman Muslims created, contemplated, and carried images of Mecca and Medina with them throughout the empire.

THE ILLIBERAL PACT
A CONTINENT APART
Civil Society and the New Authoritarianism in Turkey
Europe in Israeli Public Culture
Zeynep Atalay The Illiberal Pact examines the partnership between Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) and Islamic civil society in Turkey over the last two decades. Since taking office in 2002, the AKP has turned Islamic charities and NGOs into extensions of the state, and this alliance has consolidated Turkey’s current neoauthoritarian regime and its conservative ideology, reflecting a growing global trend of illiberal actors weaponizing civil society to erode democratic norms.

“ The Illiberal Pact demonstrates the ways in which authoritarian governments co-opt and govern through civil society organizations and hence provides a corrective to scholarship which assumes that civil society is always a democratizing force.”
Drawing on interviews, document analysis, and textual data, author Zeynep Atalay presents a new conceptual framework—mutual constitution—to account for the overlap of illiberal governments and civil society actors as they fortify nondemocratic regimes in Turkey and elsewhere. As these organizations have worked in close collaboration with the AKP, they have bolstered the government’s operational capacity, streamlined policy implementation, and mobilized grassroots support. This coordination also includes economic neoliberalization, welfare management, social policies focusing on women and families, and foreign policy endeavors targeted across the “Islamic world.” With roots in religious conservatism, cultural traditionalism, and patriarchal gender norms, the ideological commitments of Islamic civil society have pushed Turkey toward normalizing illiberal claims, particularly in opposition to gender equality and LGBTQ+ rights. Blending sociology and political theory, The Illiberal Pact challenges prevailing assumptions about civil society as a progressive force and spotlights the growing significance of illiberal civil society actors in politics.
Daniel Mahla A Continent Apart explores how Israelis imagined Europe during the second half of the twentieth century. Israel's diplomatic and economic ties with Europe have been well documented, but far less attention has been paid to how it has been perceived, debated, and reframed by the Israeli public. Drawing on newspapers, popular media, travel literature, and cultural events, author Daniel Mahla uncovers the multiple and often conflicting meanings Israelis have assigned to this elusive construct—as historical wound, geopolitical actor, cultural model, and moral mirror. From media representations of Europe's ideological fault lines to international sports controversies, the Eurovision Song Contest, and tourism, Mahla illuminates how Israelis encountered Europe not as a distant abstraction but rather as a lived and emotionally charged experience. Rather than treating Europe as a fixed geographic or institutional entity, this book approaches it as a symbolic field: an imagined space shaped through Israeli struggles over identity, belonging, and modernity. Bringing political discourse into conversation with popular culture, A Continent Apart offers a new perspective on the relationship between Israel and Europe—a deep struggle over contested meanings and national orientation.

FROM VISION TO REALITY Imagining the Future of the Arabs in the Jewish State Itamar Radai From Vision to Reality traces how Zionist leaders imagined the place of Palestinian Arabs in a future Jewish state and how those ideas were tested in the turbulent years before and during 1948.

Drawing on a plethora of archival sources, author Itamar Radai follows the work of the Emergency Committee that planned Israel's governing apparatus in 1947–48, showing that its members assumed a large Arab minority would remain and debated how to secure equal rights, political participation, and social services for Arab citizens. Moving back in time, Radai reconstructs David Ben-Gurion's views on the Palestinian Arabs from his arrival in Palestine in 1906 through the 1930s, using his speeches, writings, and meetings with Palestinian Arab leaders to illuminate his evolution from relatively moderate to more hardline positions. He then examines wider Zionist thinking in the eras of the Peel Commission (1937), the UN partition plan (1947), and the eruption of civil war in Palestine (1947–1948). An accessible intervention in major scholarly disputes, From Vision to Reality makes cutting-edge archival research a compelling read for journalists, policymakers, and any readers interested in Israel and Palestine.

WITNESSING POSITIONS Jews, Memories, and Minorities in Contemporary Germany Irit Dekel Highly visible, majority-led public discussions over Holocaust memory, antisemitism, and migration in Germany are often about minorities, whose actual social presence, perspectives, and voices remain missing. Majority society often delineates the terms of minority inclusion, assigning these groups narrowly defined social roles without their input. Witnessing Positions addresses this omission and examines these debates as sites in which belonging is negotiated and contested. In two parts, author Irit Dekel analyzes how Jews and other minoritized groups respond to such positioning by forging forms of social presence through acts of witnessing—both to one another and to the majority society in which they live. First, Dekel investigates Germany's memory culture and its tendency to separate Jews from other minority groups, revealing how majority society stages memory work as a self-reflective project centered on its Others. She then turns to minority-led interventions, examining spaces of appearance in which Jews, migrants, and other others engage in memory work themselves, observing majority society and one another as equal co-witnesses. Witnessing Positions offers a new framework for analyzing minority voices, performance, and appearance, and in doing so, it contributes to renewed debates on witnessing after the Holocaust while advancing broader discussions of belonging, memory, and public agency.

LOVE OF THE SHEKHINAH Mysticism and Poetics in Tiqqunei haZohar Biti Roi translated by Jeff Amshalem Composed in the fourteenth century, Tiqqunei ha-Zohar is one of the most influential texts in the Kabbalah. Its idiosyncratic phrases and expressions permeate Jewish liturgy, halakhic discourses, and daily customs and rituals. Its fundamental teachings have echoed through all types of kabbalistic thought across the centuries, from the grand confraternities in sixteenth-century Safed to Hasidic masters active in the nineteenth century. However, despite its overwhelming influence, Tiqqunei ha-Zohar was largely considered inferior to the main body of kabbalistic literature.

Love of the Shekhinah introduces English-speaking readers to this composition, offering a comprehensive reading of Tiqqunei ha-Zohar as a fundamental text in the development of Jewish mysticism. Combining established philological and historical approaches with gender studies, psychoanalysis, and anthropology, Biti Roi guides readers through the text, analyzing the central relationship between its author and the divine Shekhinah, unravelling his unique poetic style, and uncovering a theory of social protest. Contrary to claims that the divine feminine figure is always subordinate to the male and the characterization of kabbalistic thought as phallocentric, Roi argues that, rather than serving as an appendage to a male system, the feminine figure of the Shekhinah stands at the center of religious worship, encompassing everything. An important contribution to the scholarship of Jewish mysticism, Love of the Shekhinah offers an interpretive key to a fundamental work of kabbalistic literature.
BITI ROI is a research fellow of the Kogod Research Center of Contemporary Jewish Thought at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem. She is also a lecturer in the Department of Jewish Thought at the Hebrew University and the Schechter Institute in Jerusalem, where she teaches kabbalah and Hasidism. This book, in its original Hebrew publication, was awarded the Matanel World Union of Jewish Studies Prize for the best book in Jewish Studies.

THE RETURN TO SEPHARAD AND THE SHADOW OF ALANDALUS Arabic, Hebrew, and the Making of Modern Sephardic Culture Yuval Evri The Return to Sepharad and the Shadow of al-Andalus examines the contested formation of Sephardi identity in modern Israel and Palestine through the intellectual and cultural history of Sephardi Jews during the late Ottoman and British Mandate periods. Focusing on a network of Sephardi intellectuals, translators, educators, and writers, this book explores how these figures navigated the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the rise of Zionism and Arab nationalism, and the growing divisions between Jews and Arabs as well as between Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews. Author Yuval Evri draws on a wide range of interdisciplinary sources to trace the Sephardi experience over the last 150 years and offers a new conceptual framework for understanding "Sephardi" not as a fixed identity but rather as a contested and evolving category shaped through debates over language, nationalism, colonialism, and Jewish-Arab relations. By repositioning their intellectual history from the margins to the center of modern Jewish and Middle Eastern studies, Evri explores attempts to revive the shared cultural legacy of Sepharad and al-Andalus as a framework for reimagining Jewish-Arab relations and challenging emerging national and ethnic boundaries.

Henry Miller
introduction by Tom Thompson illustrated by Garry Shead
This first draft of Capricorn, never published before in English, is Henry Miller's response to his chaotic years with June, rumination on his first wife Beatrice, and his reaction to the still-birth of his child with Anaïs Nin in 1934. This version of the Tropic of Capricorn was Miller's attempt to show the struggle to make art in a wave of free association, through the world of sex and desire, in a lust for the extraordinary. It's a gasping, ranting poem to Her, whether it be June, Anaïs, or the place be Paris: Her lethargy, her dream-like quality, her somnolescence that statue falling asleep I had entered on a new life and nothing would deter me.

Henry Miller introduction by Tom Thompson illustrated by Garry Shead Henry Miller’s Nexus was censored fifty years ago, while Miller and his publishers fought for freedom of speech. Nexus II was never published and relooks at his first trip to Paris and Europe in 1928, a world on the edge of the Great Depression. “That night I didn’t sleep a wink. It wasn’t the bedbugs that kept me awake, it was Europe, the horror and misery, which penetrated it through and through.” This volume, Paris 1928, collates these unpublished memoirs as Henry Miller wished, showing his troubled relationship with June, what might be in store for him in Paris, and his life in New York, when alone in the hot summer of 1927. This first English edition, illustrated with drawings by Garry Shead, offers up a reprise of Miller’s views on Europe on the brink of great changes, counterpointed by his own personal sexual revelry and freedom of choice.
NOVEMBER 2026 TOM THOMPSON is an Australian publisher and literary agent. He researched and prepared the sale of Miller’s Paris Notebooks and has prepared an unpublished draft of Tropic of Capricorn for publication with John Libbey.

“ Wild Boys moves at a wild episodic pace that will leave readers breathless, in awe of Ciresi's expert craft. . . . Reading is like eavesdropping—a documentary of a real family unraveling through no fault of its own, a kind of American dream turned upside-down, yet ultimately the story of life-altering epiphany. It's Rita Ciresi doing what only she can do.”
Wild Boys is the wonderful, witty, sometimes rowdy and irreverent coming-of-age story of Christian and Jordan Wild, twin brothers growing up on the campus of the elite girls' school where their father serves as headmaster. The story focuses on their teen years, when their parents' interest in having a third child touches off new anxieties. Christian, the more reserved of the two, narrates the main events of their complex—loving, conspiratorial, inevitably rivalrous—relationship. They are, at times, as unconstrained as any other teens, and the troubles they find lay bare the Wild family's startling yet relatable vulnerabilities, driving Christian himself almost to the breaking point. This story hits us with the force of revelation, showing what matters most in the unpredictable drama of life. RITA CIRESI is author of numerous novels, short story collections, and flash fiction collections. Her awards include the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction, Barnes and Noble Discover New Writers Series, Pirate's Alley Faulkner Prize for the Novel, and the Jeanne Leiby Chapbook Contest. She has been in residence at the American Academy in Rome, Hawthornden International Writers' Retreat, Sozopol Fiction Seminars, Martha's Vineyard Writers Residency, Virginia Center for the Arts, Atlantic Center for the Arts, Santa Fe Art Institute, and Helene Wurlitzer Foundation.

DANCING IN THEIR DEAD MOTHER'S DRESSES Stories Doug Ramspeck "This is the universe of everything," says the narrator of "Balloons," the first story in this lyrical and luminous collection. The protagonist is nine-year-old Sophia, who also answers to "Come here" and "Quiet," and whose mother has died, leaving her with a distant father and a dog named Ketchup. Sophia is grieving, growing up, and listening to the secrets of the whispering creek. Her world is small, but her imagination is vast: Together they form her universe of everything. Doug Ramspeck's story collection, Dancing in Their Dead Mother's Dresses, is its own universe of everything. The stories feel set as much in the characters' imaginations as they are set in the Midwest. But the external surroundings of muddy Midwestern rivers, train bridges, and winter lakes are not just backdrops; they are sources of metaphors that help the characters make meaning of their often unsettling realities: dead mothers, absent fathers, sick siblings, inscrutable friends, intriguing neighbors, and unhappy wives.
DOUG RAMSPECK is author of ten collections of poetry, two collections of short stories, and a novella. Individual stories have appeared in journals that include The Southern Review, Iowa Review, and The Georgia Review. His short story "Balloon" was listed as a Distinguished Story in The Best American Short Stories (2019). He is a three-time recipient of an Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award, twice for poetry and once for fiction. He and his wife live on a mountain in Black Mountain, North Carolina, with bears as neighbors.

“ Doug Ramspeck has written a story collection of arresting beauty and insight. Rarely does a book hold me so firmly in its thrall, but Dancing in Their Dead Mother's Dresses did from its first page to its last. The writing is masterful, and the characters—the women and men grappling with loss, the lonely teenagers, the motherless little girls— are indelible. I loved these stories." —Christine Sneed, author of The Virginity of Famous Men and Please Be Advised: A Novel in Memos

GOD STARS Essays Cherie Nelson Senie
A Novel
Cherie Nelson Senie's debut essay collection investigates the difficult process of redefining one's faith. The death of a close friend, the complexities of language and of romantic relationships, and the expectations directed toward women within a patriarchal religious structure begin to challenge Nelson Senie's faith. All the places she once found stability—the Bible, an old maroon dictionary, the night sky—begin to crumble. In part an investigation into how this evolution occurred, God Stars is equally concerned with living in the nascent uncertainty. This constellation of formally varied essays creates a deeply personal map for a new kind of faith—one that is not scared to risk in order to gain something more.
Lance Tukell While many queer adolescents flee religious fundamentalism, fifteen-year-old Herschel runs toward it. Coming of age in the 1970s, he leaves his homophobic New Jersey hometown to join Brooklyn's ultra-Orthodox Hasidic community in the hope that faith might change his sexuality. But instead of finding transformation, he is driven into a double life shaped by failed arranged marriages, conversion therapy, and rejection by both religious and gay communities for refusing full conformity. Drawing on the author's own experience, this novel explores what communities demand in exchange for inclusion—and what a closeted teenager is willing to sacrifice. Herschel's journey toward self-acceptance and hard-won liberation from the demands of both religious and secular orthodoxies speaks to the enduring conflict between belonging and authenticity.
“ A haunting, lyrical, and unflinchingly raw exploration of faith, queerness, and the search for self. These pages chart a thrilling emotional terrain of psychological euphoria and quiet devastation that grips the reader from the first page to the last. . . . This is a stunning literary achievement, one that will make you gasp, ache, laugh, and ultimately see more clearly. Five stars for an unforgettable masterpiece!"

ON SERIOUS EARTH
Eve Poems
Poetry & Transcendence
edited by Nomi Stone and Luke Hankins
Daniel Tobin
The recent and contemporary poems about the biblical figure Eve gathered in this anthology refuse given narratives. Here, poets of diverse backgrounds and traditions conjure a heterogeneous concert of Eves to reckon with desire, blame, power, gender, the body, race, politics, religion, knowledge, violence, and time. In these poems, Eve loves, grieves, rages, and proves a perennially relevant figure in our contemporary mythos.
Celebrated poet Daniel Tobin takes on the largest questions of the meaning and durability of language turned to art. In the aftermath of Postmodernism, is there any lasting reason to believe that the timeless might inform our art? And if so, are we able to make value judgments about what among the productions of time most deserves to endure? Tobin finds guiding lights in a wide range of thinkers and poets, including Simone Weil, David Bentley Hart, Marilynne Robinson, Agha Shahid Ali, R. S. Thomas, Gwendolyn Brooks, B. H. Fairchild, and Natasha Trethewey.
“ This anthology features some famous names such as Lucille Clifton, Rita Dove, Ada Limón, and Toni Morrison, and their work is exemplary. It's the lesser known but remarkably talented poets, however, who repeatedly caught my eye." —Brian Volck, in Close Reading

If you don't know Melville's letters to Hawthorne, you don't know Melville. These letters are full of passion, humor, doubt, and spiritual yearning, and offer an intimate view of Melville's personality. This correspondence has been out of print for decades, and even when it was in print it appeared in scholarly volumes of Melville's complete correspondence, aimed at the academy. The Divine Magnet provides the general literary public as well as the college classroom with a reliable and beautifully produced volume of Melville's letters to Hawthorne, along with supplemental material, highlighting the relationship between these luminaries of American letters.
“ The 10 letters collected in this volume, all written between 1851 and 1852, chronicle, albeit one-sidedly, one of the most consequential relationships in American letters." —Publishers Weekly

Mann opens her collection with a close reading of the word "dyke," from her personal history with the word to the reclamation that ends with hope and possibility. From there, the ebb and flow of writing matches the healing waters that Mann searches for in "Good and Clean and Fine," by stating clearly, "We're meant for bigger things." Dyke Delusions explores the liminal space between childhood and adulthood, whether it's Mann understanding her queerness as a camp counselor in "Camp Out" or finally finding love and living the life she deserves in "Great Escape." Told in Mann's pitch-perfect observations and signature humor, Dyke Delusions is a collection filled with desire, yearning, and a search for more. Every essay connects to something bigger than us, emphasizing the importance of being honest with ourselves and with each other. The message behind Dyke Delusions is essential: We need to be talking and sharing more.

Matt Lydon Join Joanie, Diane, and Bette on a slow-paced, arthritic thrill ride of geriatric proportions.
Simple and elegant, there is nothing more perfect than a Helium atom.
A weekly diner breakfast quickly escalates into three old ladies out on the lam with a gun, stolen cash, and a hostage. And don't even get Joanie started on her sciatic nerve. With the Ocean City PD slowly closing in, the ladies' relationships and personal histories will be tested. Because youth and beauty may come and go, but some people you just can't shake.
The same can't be said for the rest of the world. Jemma and Trak are stuck on opposite sides of a planet dead set on destroying itself. And while they've kept their relationship safe from the chaos around them, living in a virtual world Trak created, even that can't stay forever. So perhaps it's worth giving up the life they have to try and find something as real and perfect as an atom of Helium. 74 pages | 4.188 x 6.375 in. PB: 978-1-7337360-5-3 $11.99 (AC) | £9
