The Gates of the Alamo, the sweeping Texas history Big Wonderful Thing, and decades of incisive journalism, Stephen Harrigan is an adept writer skilled in crafting memorable characters. From this singular voice now comes a collection of essays tackling the most personal, and yet most expansive, themes of all: identity, memory, and time itself.

An Anchor in the Sea of Time unfolds as individual stories but also relates a larger narrative about the development and distortions of history. In one essay, a painting on his grandparents’ wall is seared in Harrigan’s young mind. In another, a group trip to Vietnam stirs up a sobering confrontation with class privilege among Americans who fought there and others, like Harrigan, who did their best not to. The award-winning essay “Off Course” reflects on the father Harrigan never met. And Harrigan’s reporting about the Karankawas, an Indigenous group from the Texas coast once thought to be extinct, takes readers deep into the recesses of collective forgetting and offers glimpses of the possibility of recovery. A vivid encounter with lost selves, vanished worlds, and futures yet unrealized, An Anchor in the Sea of Time is perhaps the most personal book yet from this beloved writer.

From An Anchor in the Sea of Time

I never saw my father, and he never saw me. He died when the Air Force plane he was piloting crashed into a mountain in the North Cascades near Seattle in April 1948, six months before I was born. I have no memory of him, of course, but I’ve occasionally asked myself: Do I carry around a memory of something? I’m sixty-seven now and haven’t had the feeling for many years, but I remember it vividly from my childhood: a sense of horror, accompanied by something unseen but still insistently visual, a slow-swirling mass of movement like the inside of a lava lamp, but colorless—a solemn gray sludge.

It’s possible that prenatal memories exist, and if so, perhaps this is one. It might date to the moment my mother was informed of her husband’s death and her body and mine were suddenly flooded with thick dread. It might have originated several months later when, still pregnant with me, she was almost electrocuted when lightning struck an outside water pipe as she was washing clothes in the basement of her parents’ Oklahoma City home. Or it might be nothing, just some lingering precognitive sense that has mostly faded away.

m uch of W hat W e understand as modern a merican political conservatism was born in West Texas, where today it predominates. How did the people of such a vast region—larger than New England and encompassing big cities like Lubbock and Amarillo, as well as tiny towns from Anson to Dalhart—develop such a uniform political culture? And why and how did it go national?

Jeff Roche finds answers in the history of what he calls cowboy conservatism. Political power players matter in this story, but so do football coaches, newspaper editors, and a breakfast cereal tycoon who founded a capitalist utopia. The Conservative Frontier follows these and other figures as they promoted an ideology grounded in the entrepreneurial and proto-libertarian attitudes of nineteenth-century Texas ranchers, including a fierce devotion to both individualism and small-town notions of community responsibility. This political sensibility was in turn popularized by its association with the mythology and iconography of the cowboy as imagined in twentieth-century mass media. By the 1970s and the rise of Ronald Reagan, Roche shows, it was clear that the cowboy conservatism of West Texas had set the stage for the emergence of the New Right—the more professionalized and tech-savvy operation that dominated national conservative politics for the next quarter century.

From The Conservative Frontier

Before the Oakland Raiders of the 1970s there were the West Texas State Buffaloes of the 1960s: a football team made up of miscreants, philosophers, hellraisers, misfits, maniacs, good ol’ boys, street kids, rebels, and way-out-there castoffs. These were players who cut down campus trees for kicks and who held footraces along the roofs of cars lined up in front of nightclubs. These were teams that produced fifty-nine professional football players in eleven years, including NFL stars Eugene “Mercury” Morris, Duane Thomas, and Jerry Logan, and some of the biggest superstars in professional wrestling— Terry Funk, Dory Funk Jr., Bruiser Brody, Stan Hansen, Dusty Rhodes. Teams that week after week rolled up the most impressive offensive numbers in football—400 and 500 yards a game. Teams no big program would schedule because they feared getting beat at home by a no-name team from a nowhere school. Teams whose assistant coaches spent months on the road scouring for talent that everyone else had missed, neglected, or feared. The most racially integrated football teams in the South. . . . Teams coached by Joe Kerbel—brilliant, self-aware, fearless, fair, and perhaps the most explosively volatile coach in the history of sport. And teams that brought civil rights protest to West Texas.

Harrington founded the Texas Civil Rights Project and served as its director from 1990 to 2015. Previously, he led the South Texas Project, served as the Texas Civil Liberties Union’s lawyer, taught at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law, and was César Chávez’s Texas attorney.

Jim h arrington arrived in s outh t exas in 1973, ready to file class action lawsuits and “save the world.” Over the following fifty years, he built one of Texas’s key civil rights organizations and played an essential role in many of its greatest victories.

Harrington takes readers on his journey from a Midwest seminary to a United Farm Workers office in the Rio Grande Valley and on to founding the Texas Civil Rights Project. He fought for the rights of a wide range of Texans, bringing justice to victims of police brutality, injured farmworkers, silenced students, and people with disabilities excluded from full participation in society, building a movement for social justice, and a family, along the way. These major gains were tempered by heartbreaking losses, and Harrington recounts the difficult work of persevering in the face of injustice.

Framed by a foreword from Judge Lora Livingston and an afterword by Congressman Greg Casar, The Texas Civil Rights Project is at once a history of the struggle for equality over the last fifty years, a celebration of the individuals and grassroots organizations who fought hard to improve the lives of others, and a memoir of a singular force who pushed the Texas justice system to live up to its ideals.

From the foreword by Judge Livingston to The Texas Civil Rights Project

In Texas, the name Jim Harrington is synonymous with justice. Justice for immigrants, justice for those who are differently abled, justice for all who are entitled to vote, justice for those who encounter the police, justice for those imprisoned, justice for farmworkers, justice for, well, all. Period.

The Texas Civil Rights Project (TCRP), a Texas institution, is also synonymous with the name Jim Harrington. In this book, Jim’s recollections of the TCRP’s founding, he recounts its humble beginnings, major successes, and everything in between.

This is as much a piece of legal scholarship as it is a memoir. It’s as much a series of case studies of legal victories as it is a how-to manual on civil rights litigation in Texas. It is academic, poignant, funny, and full of important lessons in the pursuit of justice for everyone possible. One might say it’s a primer for those interested in civil and human rights and blending legal support activism and community activism to further those rights.

Like the justice system we strive for, this book is for everyone. For students of the law, legal enthusiasts, community organizers, those looking for a lesson in professionalism, readers who love a good yarn as well as a little political intrigue. Jim recounts the highs and lows of his own and the TCRP’s fights for justice, the struggle to keep the doors of a small but mighty civil rights law firm open, the stories of the men and women they fought for. And he does not leave out the stories of the men and women who fought alongside him in the battle for justice.

The owners didn’t expect their barbecue to be crowned the best in the state by Texas Monthly, yet they earned that honor in 2021. What separates Goldee’s from other joints is their pitmasters’ attention to craft and an inclusive attitude toward sharing their work. They understand that the secret ingredient in barbecue is not a particular spice in the rub, but hours of paying attention to fire and meat.

Goldee’s Bar-B-Q shows you how to make classics such as brisket, ribs, sausages, beans, coleslaw, potato salad, and banana pudding. Goldee’s pitmasters share how to trim, season, and smoke meat, as well as tips for managing a fire and monitoring temperature, which are key to elevating your barbecue. Goldee’s Bar-B-Q also captures the heart of the restaurant, the story of best friends coming together to make a place where they could share their love of cooking.

i n 2020, guitar expert John s tubbings released a limited-edition book on the American acoustic guitar that sold out in days. Now, The Devil Is in It returns with additional research and subject matter for a new generation of readers. Stubbings traveled the country and met with guitar makers, players, collectors, and historians to unravel the long and rich history of the acoustic guitar, its evolution, and the music it has made over the last hundred years.

Starting with the eighteenth-century European classical guitar, luthiers altered the instrument, changing the way musicians played them and in turn the music they made. This slow but steady transformation created the iconic American flat-top that became influential across genres and rooted itself in cultural significance. The guitar developed from an obscure instrument into a superstar of the musical world: rivaling, then overshadowing, its competition. Tied to artists from Gillian Welch and Tracy Chapman to Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, the acoustic guitar maintains its eminence in American music and culture. The Devil Is in It is the story of an alluring instrument that shaped the music of the twentieth century.

From The Devil Is in It

Gillian Welch was playing Carter Family and Woody Guthrie songs on acoustic guitar when she was just eight. Her adoptive parents were professional performers and composers for TV, so music was nurtured in the child. While her musical partner Dave Rawlings had developed his prowess on guitar in rock and country bands, things changed after he met Welch, who was a fellow student at Boston’s Berklee College of Music in the late ’80s. Rawlings’s unique style of bluegrass flat-picking soon ascended into the echelon of roots acoustic guitar playing populated only by the likes of Maybelle Carter, Chet Atkins, and Lester Flat. . . . With echoes of ’20s country blues, ’40s hillbilly music, and ’50s rock ’n’ roll sitting alongside the ’60s jazz influences of Wes Montgomery’s octave playing, Rawlings creates acoustic guitar solos using individual notes and musical intervals that shouldn’t make sense but do. Rawlings refers to the often-dissonant notes he favors most as “the ghostly ones.” To find and play them, he uses a small-bodied archtop guitar not dissimilar from Maybelle Carter’s, although unlike her top-of-the-range Gibson L-5, his Epiphone Olympic was a budget model when it was produced in 1935. But, like Maybelle’s archtop, his ’35 Epiphone, although made largely from plywood, albeit with a solid carved top, has a sonic punch that works perfectly when played in a group setting into a single microphone.

p arliament- f unkadelic is perhaps the greatest funk band ever assembled. Yet at the time of the group’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, none of the women who helped create the sound and performed in P-Funk were invited to the ceremony and their contributions have been largely overlooked. Mothership Connected tells the story of Mallia Franklin, Lynn Mabry, Dawn Silva, Debbie Wright, and Shirley Hayden, all of whom were instrumental in making Parliament-Funkadelic, as well as the spin-off groups Parlet and The Brides of Funkenstein, into the legends they are today. Assembled by Seth Neblett, son of the “Queen of Funk” Mallia Franklin, and filled with the voices of funk icons George Clinton, Sly Stone, Bootsy Collins, and the women themselves, this oral history makes clear why these “architects” at the “core” of P-Funk were both essential— and erased. From Franklin introducing Bootsy Collins to Clinton, to The Brides’ top-10 hit “Disco to Go,” to the drugs that helped destroy the group, this book reveals the hidden lives and uncomfortable truths of life in P-Funk. More than sex, drugs, and rock and roll, Mothership Connected is about Black women navigating a tumultuous era and industry to become musical pioneers. Now, after decades in the shadows, these genre-defining women are finally telling their story.

From Mothership Connected

mallia franklin : I stepped back into performing when Seth was a few months old. One show was at the Sepia Theatre in 1971 in Toledo, Ohio. The headliner was a singer named Gloria Taylor. . . . A young William “Bootsy” Collins played behind her with the band, the House Guests. . . . They were funky, fresh. . . . I kept being drawn to this guy Bootsy, thumping his bass and playing tambourine with his foot, never missing a beat in the background. I was saying to myself, “Wow! George needs to see and hear this because Bootsy and these guys need to be on the front burner, burning down the house, not on the back burner, just simmering.” I knew George was just the crazy guy who would see my vision for Bootsy.

After the show was over, I introduced myself to them. We all hung out that night and discussed our ambitions of breaking into the record business. Bootsy said, “At this point, we’re just trying to keep a steady gig.”

I said, “ Y’all remind me of Funkadelic. Do you know who they are? Have you ever met George Clinton?”

Bootsy responded, “No. Who’s that?”

I said, “I know G eorge. I can hook that up for you if you want to meet him. I think you should meet him.”

A couple of weeks later, with my newborn son, Seth, lying in the passenger’s seat, I hit I-75 in my parents’ station wagon and drove to Cincinnati, Ohio. The House Guests put their instruments in the back and piled into the car, and I brought them back to Detroit with me. Like P-Funk, the House Guests and I became family, and like George and Liz, the House Guests moved in with me.

t exas has al W a ys teemed W ith music and counterculture. When punk came to the state in 1978, it flourished in San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, and, especially, Austin. Punk and post-punk musicians, including nationally acclaimed bands the Butthole Surfers, the Big Boys, the Dicks, and Daniel Johnston, influenced local culture before slashing into the American musical psyche. (See Kurt Cobain sporting Johnston’s “Hi, How are you?” T-shirt.) Someday All the Adults Will Die! is an oral history of punk in Texas, from its rise in the late 1970s, through its strong anti-racist, feminist, and queer peak, to its dissolution in the late 1980s.

Now a seasoned music journalist, Blashill experienced the zenith of Texas punk as a teenager, and he captures its intensity in words and pictures. Someday All the Adults Will Die! is rife with electrifying images and firsthand tales of what made this scene such a storm of pleasures and terrors, uncompromising artists, and wild performances. It is a dynamic portrait of an untamed, all-out musical era.

From Someday All the Adults Will Die!

alice berry ( member , texas blondes , and fan ) : I didn’t feel like I was a gal in the scene. I just felt like I was a person in the scene. I did not feel sexism. I did not feel misogyny. I didn’t feel any difference. You were encouraged to go out there and do it and explore all the things that you wanted to do. And I just so appreciated that fact. I loved the Big Boys / Dicks Live at Raul’s record, and Biscuit signed my copy with “Welcome to weird world. Start your own band.”

maria cotera ( fan and friend ) : If you look at the intersection of race and gender, that’s where you can often see what the actual values [of a scene] are, and I will say that all of the punk rock goddesses in our scene were typically beautiful white women. That’s the undercurrent; that’s what you don’t see when you hear people calling someone “spic” or the N-word . . . but when you come down to it and ask, “Who are the people who are most valued?” and you look at aesthetics and sexuality and sexuality, that’s when scenes expose themselves in interesting ways.

steve collier ( big boys , doctors ’ mob ) : A lot of people at Raul’s and Duke’s were coming from little places in Texas where you couldn’t be gay or do some crazy art band. Austin is this liberal oasis in the middle of Texas where you could do that. Biscuit was from Gladewater, Texas, some little place. He could never have been Biscuit where he lived. He had to move to Austin to be Biscuit.

Once, he and I were driving by Hyde Park Baptist Church. He had on a homemade Biscuit shirt with a bunch of holes in it. Our hair was all waxed up. We were in his ’58 Chevy boat car. And crossing the street in front of us were all these church ladies with bouffant hairdos. One of them looks at Biscuit, and points him out to the others, and they were just laughing and shaking their heads.

So Biscuit leans out the window and yells, “I see your bra!”

They were mortified. I think Biscuit was always at war with the old Texas, small-town people. But he was one of them.

g asteroid fungi, unlike the ma J ority of mushrooms that produce spores externally, are unusual fungi that produce spores within their fruitbodies. This book is the first colorillustrated reference guide for this unique group of fungi in North America.

Providing information for the identification of more than one hundred species, the book includes keys based on macroscopic features, detailed species descriptions with both common and scientific names, accurate and beautiful color images, and key identification features. It also contains useful information about the biology of gasteroid fungi, current taxonomy, and mechanisms of spore dispersal. A much-needed volume from mycologists Alan and Arleen Bessette, William Roody, and Dianna Smith, it is essential for all fungi enthusiasts, from mushroom hunting hobbyists to professional mycologists.

i n 1910, the m éliès s tar f ilm c ompany of m anhattan set up a moving-picture studio outside San Antonio, the first in Texas. Determined to make the most authentic Westerns possible, the company filmed there for a little over a year. In that brief time, it created more than seventy single-reel films, leaving a lasting mark on moviemaking.

Film historians Kathryn Fuller-Seeley and Frank Thompson return to a moment when on-location filmmaking was emerging as an art form. We meet producer Gaston Méliès, older brother of early-cinema legend Georges Méliès, and his cast and crew of young innovators, old hands, and genuine cowboys—like seventeen-year-old Edith Storey, the tomboy star who helped to ignite modern celebrity culture, and Francis Ford, who learned the art of film directing on the job and mentored his younger brother, Hollywood legend John Ford. The First Movie Studio in Texas traces the company’s trials and accomplishments, its influence on the depiction of race and gender in Western filmmaking, its surviving works, and its crowning achievement: The Immortal Alamo (1911), the earliest cinematic depiction of that famous battle. Finally recovered from the shadows, the forgotten Méliès brother proves to be one of the key founders of the Western myth on screen.

From The First Movie Studio in Texas

How did French manufacturing executive Gaston Méliès come to be an American film producer in an unpredictable and precarious young industry? His story has long been considered a footnote to filmmaking that was hardly worth remembering.

Historians used to tell the story of early cinema in broad strokes, focusing on the firsts and the most influential, on technical innovations and artistic landmarks— the big, important industry-changing milestones. They viewed film history as a train, moving ever forward in a straight line on its track, each stop along the way marking major achievements, significant creators, and little else.

But film history—indeed, any kind of history—is neither a train nor a straight line, but rather a complex mosaic of the epic and the modest, of filmmakers whose names have endured through the years and of others whose fame, if indeed they were ever famous, did not survive beyond their careers. Much of what we now know of the cinema’s past is partly based on the quality and, perhaps, the lasting impact of the films we consider to be important. But even the greatest, most singular films didn’t appear out of nowhere. Each one contains within it traces of an infinite variety of sources, inspirations, and traditions—an aesthetic gene pool.

William m uldoon W as a reno W ned athlete W hose prowess, savvy, and chicanery across his six-decade career led him to wealth, cultural importance, and political power. Muldoon, the child of poor Irish immigrants, began wrestling in the 1870s and quickly became one of the most famous athletes of the post-Civil War era. He started acting and modeling as his popularity grew, making him one of the first sports stars to achieve crossover success. After a triumphant stint rehabilitating fallen boxing heavyweight champion John L. Sullivan in 1889, he retired from the ring and began a new career as a fitness impresario, founding an elite gymnasium and remaking himself as a health authority in the press. He became a trainer to the rich, famous, and politically powerful, which led to his appointment as chair of the New York State Athletic Commission in the 1920s. From this position, Muldoon exerted his influence over the rules of boxing and wrestling and weaponized his power to maintain segregation in sport.

The Last Gladiator is a deep, insightful dive into Muldoon’s life and impact, demonstrating the significance of this oftencontroversial figure in the development of American sports, professional wrestling, and physical and popular culture.

A richly detailed history of daily life for colonial

Spanish soldiers surviving on the eighteenth-century Texas Gulf Coast

Wrangling Pelicans Military Life in Texas Presidios

BY TIM SEITER

i n 1775, s panish k ing c arlos iii ordered the capture of American pelicans for his wildlife park in Madrid. The command went to the only Spanish fort on the Texas coast—Presidio Nuestra Señora de Loreto de la Bahía in present-day Goliad. But the overworked soldiers stationed at the fort had little interest in indulging a king an ocean away. Their days were consumed with guarding their community against powerful Indigenous peoples and managing the demands of frontier life. The royal order went ignored.

Wrangling Pelicans brings to life the world of Presidio La Bahía’s Hispano soldiers, whose duties ranged from heated warfare to high-stakes diplomacy, while their leisure pursuits included courtship, card playing, and cockfighting. It highlights the lives of presidio women and reveals the ways the Spanish legal system was used by and against the soldiers as they continually negotiated their roles within the empire and their community. Although they were agents of the Spanish crown, soldiers at times defied their king and even their captain as they found ways to assert their autonomy. Offering a fresh perspective on colonial Texas, Wrangling Pelicans recreates the complexities of life at the empire’s edge, where survival mattered more than royal decrees.

With the films Election , About Schmidt , Sideways , Nebraska, and The Holdovers, Alexander Payne has carved out an unusual role in American cinema as a bankable auteur. There is something about Payne’s neurotics and searchers, his working stiffs and disillusioned idealists—something funny, moving, and filled with insight.

Jason Sperb dissects Payne’s oeuvre, focusing on the director’s penchant for travel narratives. Payne’s films usually center on male protagonists discontent with the emotional and material realities of the day-to-day and seeking satisfaction in some literal or metaphorical elsewhere. But their attempts to escape wind up perpetuating, rather than alleviating, the imbalance between labor and leisure that structures modern life. In this sense, Sperb argues, Payne’s characters are akin to tourists, searching for fleeting glimpses of the fulfillment they dream about. Examining themes of masculinity, nostalgia, whiteness, and class, The Stranger from Omaha is the first auteur study devoted to Payne’s delicately balanced cinematic world. An outsider even in his own heartland, Payne proves to be an artist working at a clarifying remove—a witness to the American condition, observing from just enough distance.

An analysis of how post-9/11 war movies changed from following soldiers on specific missions to chronicling war as a day-to-day occupation

Mission Unaccomplished American War Films in the Twenty-First Century

BY ALAN NADEL

i n 2003, the u nited s tates began a W ar in i ra Q W ithout a mission. Instead of fighting to restore peace—the traditional objective of warfare—service members faced the grim reality that there was no goal. Lacking even certainty as to who was the enemy, soldiers discovered that their task was simply to survive.

Mission Unaccomplished explores how Hollywood grasped the experience of Iraq from the perspective of US soldiers, reinventing the war film in the process. Historically, films such as Saving Private Ryan valorized the goals of war by chronicling missions that unambiguously contribute to the defeat of the enemy and the restoration of peace. But in The Hurt Locker, American Sniper, Green Zone, and other recent dramas, soldiers just try to outlast the chaos. Dramatizing the aimlessness of the war, events occur in random order, and soldiers have no sense of how their actions contribute to victory or peace. Looking to recent World War II movies such as Dunkirk and Hacksaw Ridge, which use this same cinematic vocabulary to position soldiering as merely a deadly job to be endured, Alan Nadel argues that the disillusionment of Iraq has influenced cinema broadly, inspiring a newly critical war film genre.

Cinema’s Original Sin

D. W. Griffith, American Racism, and the Rise of Film Culture

PAUL MCEWAN

“Cinema’s Original Sin is expansive, particularly for students who think of racism and the cinema solely in terms of representational strategies. Once it becomes clear that the issue is structural, adjusting representational strategies appears an insufficient solution to the issues that led— and in some instances continue to lead—to Griffith’s defense.”

—FILM QUARTERLY

“Alongside the history McEwan keeps track of how film criticism might contribute to and ameliorate the contours of white supremacy—film criticism that includes his book and now this little review.”

—CHOICE

“Cinema’s Original Sin is a fascinating, authoritative, and essential text for anyone interested in film history, the history of racism and its ongoing echoes, or examining the history of ongoing social conversations from the public, press, and academia. . . . The Birth of a Nation is not a masterpiece. It’s well-executed propaganda.”

An examination of male screen sex appeal and the ways that race, ethnicity, and national origin combine with performance tools and film and television style to aid or inhibit actors’ circulation on an increasingly global stage

Cosmosexuals

Screen Acting, Stardom, and Male Sex Appeal

BY MARK GALLAGHER

s ex appeal is complicated, especially for screen actors. Looking good is not enough. Charisma and charm have to register when the camera rolls. And sexiness has to travel. Today’s heartthrobs are expected to raise temperatures all around the world.

Cosmosexuals theorizes male sex appeal as a form of capital in an age of international stardom. Screen scholar Mark Gallagher assembles a diverse cast—Idris Elba, Pedro Pascal, Simu Liu, Ryan Gosling, and more—analyzing how each actor uses his appearance, voice, and movement to perform in ways that viewers across cultural divides register as sexually appealing. Cosmosexuals also explores the intersection of global sex appeal and exoticism in historical and contemporary contexts—from the malleable racial identities of Omar Sharif and Conrad Veidt to Mads Mikkelsen’s “accented whiteness”—and assesses the barriers that confine nonwhite actors, in spite of their talent or celebrity. Far more than handsome faces and chiseled abs, male sex symbols emerge as laborers subject to disciplinary regimes steeped in patriarchy, racism, and structural inequity. As such, they have much to tell us about the economies of taste at work in the construction of screen masculinity and the terms of human desire.

a s a form of visual art, comic books rely on a distinct and eye-catching aesthetic. This is especially true of the iconic comics, graphic novels, and illustrations of the 1960s and 1970s. The Look of the 1960s explores the sources of inspiration that influenced the world of comics, beginning with the wellknown French comics series Barbarella

Noted comics scholars Jan Baetens and Hugo Frey analyze the impacts of the often-provocative images featured in the comics of the 1960s, which pushed back against French censorship in a politically tense time, and detail how women resisted their objectification in the comic book industry. Barbarella left its mark on the world and gained international attention, inspiring a movie adaptation and changing the look and content of other popular comics. The “Pulp Pop” movement remains relevant today, continuing to influence the art and political world. With new information about artists and an astute analysis of sociopolitical influence, The Look of the 1960s offers deep insights for comics fans all over the world.

From The Look of the 1960s

Barbarella was therefore a weapon against censorship and it was a fight that [creator Jean-Claude] Forest did not engage in single-handedly. . . . It was about ideas of free speech and libertarianism, and it was also about the status of comics in French society, the defense of the idea of new works for adults, and the legitimacy of adults to love comics in general—including American ones. In a field that sometimes has seen disagreements over history . . . all the activists coalesce on this point: Barbarella was key to the freedom of all comics work in Paris in 1964. For instance, writing in his memoirs, [noted French comics creator Philippe] Druillet pinpoints the importance of the work and gestures to this context when he describes Barbarella as “the bomb,” the work that changed every aspect about the field.

The

most comprehensive anthology of primary sources

on Sri Lanka’s links with the Islamic world ever assembled in English

Serendipitous Translations

A Sourcebook on Sri Lanka in the Islamic Indian Ocean

EDITED BY NILE GREEN

s ri l anka is an underappreciated focal point of global history. Known to Persian and Arab traders as Serendib, the island has long been a site of intensive cultural and material exchange, as well as a holy place—Islamic tradition holds that the biblical Adam arrived there after his expulsion from Eden. Assembling centuries of texts, this volume presents an array of sources from the Indian Ocean.

Serendipitous Translations gathers travelogues, literary works, commercial records, inscriptions, religious tracts, pilgrim manuals, and more—an unprecedented range of Muslim voices from Sri Lanka between the 1200s and 1990s. These works vividly document medieval pilgrimages, maritime mystics, diplomatic encounters, colonial-era commerce, and the bustling everyday affairs of a cosmopolitan Asian nexus. Expert translations bring Arabic, Malay, Turkish, Urdu, Dhivehi, Sinhala, Arabu-Tamil, and Tamil texts to readers of English for the first time. Editor Nile Green situates these texts in their Indian Ocean contexts by introducing the broad sweep of Sri Lanka’s story. An invaluable collection, Serendipitous Translations is the most comprehensive anthology of primary sources ever assembled on Sri Lanka’s thousand-year links to the Muslim world.

e xtractivism—exploiting the earth for resources— has long driven racial capitalism and colonialism. And yet, how does extractivism operate in a world where ecological and humanitarian sensibilities are unprecedentedly widespread? Eray Çaylı argues it does so by mobilizing these sensibilities in new ways. Extractivism is no longer only about moving the earth—displacing peoples, fossils, minerals, and waters—but also leaving those who witness this violent displacement sentimentally moved.

Earthmoving conceptualizes this duality. Derived from Çaylı’s years-long work in Northern Kurdistan, home to the world’s largest stateless nation—rendered stateless by colonial policies since the nineteenth century—Earthmoving focuses on the 2010s, a decade that began with peace talks between Turkey and the Kurdish liberation movement but ended with war. The decade saw extractivism intensify in the region and images of its harm proliferate across art and media. Together with contemporary artists, Çaylı shows that images challenge extractivism both by making its harm visible and fostering self-reflexive and reciprocal collaboration that breaks with its valuation of the colonized and the racialized only in quantifiable and marketable terms.

A revision of the history of modern sports in late Ottoman Istanbul, showing how Muslims, Christians, and Jews created a shared sports culture that was simultaneously global, imperial, and local

The Ottoman World of Sports Refashioning Bodies, Men, and Communities in Late Imperial Istanbul

BY MURAT C YILDIZ

t he history of sports in t urkey is deeply contested. Over the decades, journalists, pundits, non-professional historians, and everyday people have offered competing narratives about the origins of modern sports in the late Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman World of Sports tells the story of how Istanbul’s Muslims, Christians, and Jews—gymnastics teachers, football coaches, weightlifters, journalists, athletes, and fans—created a gendered and class-stratified civic project that promoted physical fitness as a source of fun, beauty, and moral education. Influenced by the emerging global vogue for organized sports, all boys from the expanding middle class of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century imperial capital were expected to exercise and compete on the playing field in order to develop into moral men. Yet even as the embrace of modern physical culture transcended ethno-religious divisions, it did not erase them. Drawing on a wide range of archival research in multiple languages, historian Murat Yıldız shows that sportsmen created new communal boundaries in team affiliations, fandom, and sports media. Adeptly reconstructing Istanbul’s imperial culture as it was experienced more than a century ago, The Ottoman World of Sports recovers a lived imperial culture whose defining features were shaped by its multiethnic, multireligious, and multilingual sportsmen.

The Egyptian Labor Corps

Race, Space, and Place in the First World War

KYLE J ANDERSON

“Anderson offers a multifaceted history of the half a million Egyptian logistical laborers involved in the Allied war effort during World War I. . . . The Egyptian Labor Corps is a timely example of the productive avenues that open when race and racialized experience are incorporated into once-familiar narratives.”

—INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MIDDLE EAST STUDIES

“For scholars with an interest in World War I, labor history, or the multifaceted impacts of colonialism and war, The Egyptian Labor Corps comes highly recommended. Its rich portrayal of the laborers’ experiences will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on readers, furthering our understanding of the often-unseen actors who played vital roles during this significant historical period.”

—HISTORY: REVIEWS OF NEW BOOKS

“This is an attractive, informative and well-researched account. . . . Anderson has successfully provided an innovative interpretation of a critical period when Egyptians were seeking to imagine a post-Ottoman and postcolonial future for their country that sheds important light on the nature and legacy of British imperial practices.”

Acting Egyptian Theater, Identity, and Political Culture in Cairo, 1869–1930

CARMEN M K GITRE

“[An] excellent recent book . . . a lively study of the role of theater in staging cultural debates over what it meant to be Egyptian and modern, from 1869 (when both the Khedivial Opera House and the Suez Canal opened) until 1930. . . . Acting Egyptian engages with the academic literature on Egypt and will appeal to historians and Arabic literature specialists.”

—MIDDLE EAST JOURNAL

“Acting Egyptian offers a rigorously researched scholarly publication while avoiding the stuffiness of (some) academic writing. . . . Theatre, history, and other humanities scholars interested in performance traditions and identity politics [in] the Middle East and North Africa will find Acting Egyptian especially worthwhile.”

—AL JADID

“This book is an important addition . . . that seeks to elucidate the ‘full range’ of Egyptian voices. . . . Gitre’s concise writing and the scope of her engagement with the extant historiography in framing her intriguing case studies makes Acting Egyptian an innovative introductory text to the formation of Egyptian national identity.”

s harron h ass’s a W ard - W inning poetry is distinctive for its ability to capture ephemeral moments in time, and Music of the Wide Lane evokes epic figures from Greek philosophy, the Hebrew Bible, and poetry. Her inspirations include Sophocles, Aristotle, the medieval Iberian Hebrew poet Yehuda Halevi, Emily Dickinson, and Wallace Stevens. Hass masterfully alters time and expression, lending an impression of perpetual change, as the past, present, and future intermingle.

Music of the Wide Lane explores homoerotic relationships, tense mother-daughter bonds, and the concept of light as a metaphor for truth and goodness. This remarkable fifth collection of Hass’s work includes an extended elegy for a dying father and two major poems from her previous work, and invites readers to expand their understanding of and appreciation for Hebrew-language poetry.

The secret life of a Palestinian Communist activist during the rise of World War II

Memoirs of a Palestinian Communist The Secret Life of Najiti Sidqi

BY NAJATI SIDQI

TRANSLATED BY ANAS FARHAN, GIDEON GORDON, AND MARGARET LITVIN

i n the public eye, n a J a ti s id Q i W as kno W n as a J ournalist and writer, a translator of Russian classics, and an outspoken opponent of Nazism. However, Sidqi concealed a critical component of his life from the world and his family. He was an underground activist for the Palestinian Communist Party, a risky and influential pursuit that led him to British-ruled courts, prison cells, Nazi Germany, Stalin’s Moscow, devastated interwar Paris, and Civil War Spain. Throughout his journey, Sidqi continued to write, even as he faced fascism, intense surveillance, active war zones, the death of friends, and exile.

Memoirs of a Palestinian Communist brings to light the incredible life and work of Sidqi. Translated from Arabic for the first time, it is a riveting firsthand account of an often-overlooked aspect of the history of the global left.

b ringing uncertainty, fear, and change, the covid -19 pandemic shook the world, altered people’s lives, and sparked a wave of introspection. Underserved communities—people of color, women, and queer people among them—were affected the most, and their experiences, in turn, reflected hope and opportunities to reinvent themselves individually and collectively. Drawing on Gloria Anzaldúa’s use of nepantla—the Náhuatl word meaning “in-between space,” the en medio and a liminal space between worlds imbued with change—this collection addresses the hurdles feminist scholars of color faced during the pandemic years.

Dispatches from classrooms and quarantined homes from all over the world and introspective essays on disability, mutual aid, and borders are included. These pieces serve as a record, capturing an ephemeral time already being lost to memory. World Making in Nepantla is an honest and intimate recording of finding strength during an era that forever changed the modern world.

The history of the Chicana por mi Raza Digital Memory Collective, an archive dedicated to preserving Chicana feminist knowledge of the 1970s and memory work

Fleshing the Archive An Intimate Genealogy of Chicana Knowledge Praxis

BY MARÍA EUGENIA COTERA

t he late 1960s and early 1970s W itnessed an explosion of publishing by Chicana activists as they took part in the Movimiento against oppression of ethnic Mexicans in the United States. Today, thousands of these documents, including written works and oral histories, have been assembled by the Chicana por mi Raza Digital Memory Collective. Drawing on these unique resources, Fleshing the Archive traces the innovative Chicana knowledge projects of the Movimiento years.

Seeking to think with the past rather than about it, María Cotera explores transgressive sites and discourses of Chicana knowledge, from poems and essays to newspapers, bibliographies, and testimonies. Often published independently and distributed by readers themselves, these works embodied a praxis of feminist and queer consciousness-raising. Observing the startling convergences between Chicana praxis of the 1970s and digital knowledge production in the present, Cotera argues that the Chicana archive enables transformative moments of recognition across time that unsettle supposedly objective accounts of history. The materials preserved by Chicana por mi Raza offer Chicana scholars a model of teaching and learning liberated from a corporate academy that is increasingly hostile to intellectual inquiry.

Cotera is an associate professor in the Mexican American and Latina/o Studies Department at the University of Texas at Austin. Her first book, Native Speakers, received the Gloria E.

a mong p uerto r ican converts to i slam, marginalization is a fact of daily life. Their “authenticity” is questioned by other Muslims and by fellow Borícua on the island and in the United States. At the same time, they exist under the shadow of US colonization and as Muslims in the context of American empire. To be a Puerto Rican Muslim, then, is to negotiate identity at numerous intersections of diversity and difference.

Drawing on years of ethnographic research and more than a hundred interviews conducted in Puerto Rico, New York, Florida, Texas, New Jersey, and online, Ken Chitwood tells the story of Puerto Rican Muslims as they construct a shared sense of peoplehood through everyday practices. Borícua Muslims thus provides a study of cosmopolitanism not as a political ideal but as a mundane social reality—a reality that complicates scholarly and public conversations about race, ethnicity, and religion in the Americas. Expanding the geography of global Islam and recasting the relationship between religion and Puerto Rican culture, Borícua Muslims is an insightful reckoning with the manifold entanglements of identity amid late-modern globalization.

A personal, provocative, and boundarybreaking volume on the power relations that racialized, gendered, and sexualized researchers grapple with while conducting activist research

Fugitive Anthropology Embodying Activist Research

EDITED BY SHANYA CORDIS, MAYA J BERRY, CLAUDIA CHÁVEZ ARGÜELLES, SARAH IHMOUD, AND R ELIZABETH VELÁSQUEZ ESTRADA

Fugitive Anthropology is a transnational, intergenerational engagement that extends feminist theory, activist research methodologies, and the discipline of anthropology in new directions. Contributors examine the tensions that arise from conducting politically engaged, collaborative research alongside communities in struggle, in particular theorizing from the experiences of racialized women, queer, trans, and gender nonconforming researchers across distinct geographies. Essays contend with the matrices of colonial, imperial, and patriarchal violence that afflict the researchers and communities with which they seek political alignment.

Articulating an ethnographic practice grounded in Black and Indigenous political struggles and committed to collective liberation, the volume reflects on what it means to navigate violent relations of power, systemic inequities, and current onslaughts shaping field research and US academia.

An approachable ethnography of how grasshoppers are harvested, sold, and consumed in Oaxaca

Eating Grasshoppers Chapulines and the Women Who Sell Them

BY JEFFREY H COHEN

c hapulines (toasted grasshoppers) are not a delicacy in Oaxaca. They are just food—good food—and a protein-rich seasonal snack that is the product of a long-standing industry based overwhelmingly on the labor of women. Jeffrey Cohen has interviewed dozens of these chapulineras, who harvest insects from corn and alfalfa fields, prepare them, and sell them in urban and rural marketplaces. An accessible ethnography, Eating Grasshoppers tells their story alongside the broader history of chapulines.

For tourists, chapulines are an experience—a gateway to the “real” Oaxaca. For locals, they are ordinary fare, but also a reminder of Indigenous stability and rural survival. In a sense, eating chapulines is a declaration of independence from a government that has condemned eating insects as backward. Yet, while chapulines are a generations-old favorite, eating them is not an act of preservation. Cohen shows that the business of this allegedly traditional food is thoroughly modern and ever evolving, with entrepreneurial chapulineras responding nimbly to complex and dynamic markets. From alfalfa fields to online markets, Eating Grasshoppers takes readers inside one of the world’s most fascinating food cultures.

As members of lay societies of worshippers called confraternities, subalterns were Lima’s key promoters of religious art, surpassing the colonial hierarchy.

Ximena Gómez argues that, by commissioning and exhibiting sacred images—in chapels and urban processions, adorned with clothing and accessories—Indigenous and Black confraternities created Lima’s visual culture. In one case study, the Indigenous confraternity of the Virgin of Copacabana invisibly transforms a sculpture into an object that reflected its multiethnic Andean caretakers. Another case study, that of the confraternity of the Virgin of the Antigua, finds Black worshippers initially united in their interpretation of a Spanish image and later fracturing when some of its members applied a West African interpretive lens. Taking advantage of Lima’s rich documentary record, In the Hands of Devotees centers the ritual practices of Black and Indigenous people and opens possibilities for incorporating subalterns into the history of Lima’s art when limited extant visual evidence has survived.

From In the Hands of Devotees

The glaring omission of Black and Indigenous people from Lima’s art history is attributable in part to the reality that little visual and material culture related to these colonial populations survives, leaving us to work with biased representations. . . . The racist legacies of the colonial world did not prioritize or facilitate the preservation of the cultural heritage of these Limeños, and the earthquakes that periodically hit the coastal capital have destroyed significant material and archival sources. Because we, as art historians, depend so heavily on extant objects in order to construct knowledge, Lima’s Indigenous and Black colonial residents are particularly elusive. This absence poses a methodological challenge for the discipline: How can we write object-based histories for subaltern colonial subjects who have been purposefully excluded—through erasure, destruction, or suppression—from the visual record?

Employing a wide range of evidence from archives, as well as some surviving paintings and polychrome sculptures, I demonstrate that Indigenous and Black people in colonial Lima were active patrons, defined the city’s visual culture through religious and social engagement with their objects, and applied their own cultural lenses in their use of sacred images and ritual objects. In so doing, this book not only contributes to the history of colonial Latin American art but also seeks to push against the colonial boundaries of the discipline of art history.

i nka visual culture is unusual in its tendency toward abstraction. Public stonework, vessels used at state feasts, garments worn by the imperial elite—these objects announcing status and power are adorned with geometric designs that refuse figuration. After searching in vain for hidden referents, many scholars have resigned themselves to the unsatisfying conclusion that the designs are merely decorative.

Inside Abstraction develops a novel interpretation. Eminent art historian Carolyn Dean proposes that Inka geometries are neither ornamental nor coded depictions of other objects. Rather, Dean shows that in the Andean world, the designs were functionally self-aware, possessing perspectives of their own, quite literally looking back at and addressing viewers directly. Further, Dean contends that these agent-abstractions were teachers, conveying particular messages concerning social hierarchy: the relations among geometries and colors instructed viewers as to their own proper social relations. Inka designs thereby served imperial aims by wordlessly communicating the state’s values and demands for submission. Extensively illustrated and rigorously argued, Inside Abstraction is a dramatic step forward in our understanding of Inka art and political order.

As the Gods Kill Morality

and Social Violence among the Precolonial Maya

BY ANDREW K SCHERER

As the Gods Kill delivers ne W insights into W arf are, weaponry, violence, and human sacrifice among the ancient Maya. While attending to the particularity of a singular historical context, anthropologist and archaeologist Andrew Scherer also suggests that Maya practices have something to tell us about human propensities toward violence more broadly.

Focusing on moral frameworks surrounding deliberate injury and killing, Scherer examines Maya justifications of violence— in particular the obligations to one another, to ancestors, and to the gods that made violence not only permissible but necessary. The analysis isolates key themes underpinning the morality of violence—including justice, vengeance, payment, and costumbre (ritual)—and explores the ethics of violent agents, including warriors, ritual specialists, and the gods. Finally, Scherer addresses motivations for warfare, including the acquisition of spoils, tribute, captives, and slaves. An interdisciplinary case study of morality in an ancient society, As the Gods Kill synthesizes scholarship on an important dimension of precolonial American culture while taking stock of its implications for the social sciences at large.

A study of the Christ of Ixmiquilpan, a historically beloved religious icon from sixteenth-century Mexico, and its evolving cultural importance

Miraculous Celebrity The Christ of Ixmiquilpan and Colonial Piety in Mexico City

BY DEREK S BURDETTE

t he life-sized crucifix kno W n as the c hrist of Ixmiquilpan (also the Señor de Santa Teresa) was one of the most important artworks in colonial Mexico. The statue began as an ordinary devotional image, but in 1621 devotees witnessed it undergo a miraculous renovation that gave it a supernatural beauty. Over the next two and half centuries, its perceived power increased until it was surpassed in importance only by the Virgin of Guadalupe. Despite its historical significance, the Christ of Ixmiquilpan’s history has yet to be fully told.

Derek Burdette brings the miraculous crucifix out of the shadows and explores its instrumental role in shaping the devotional culture of New Spain. Following the arc of the statue’s life, he chronicles the story of the statue’s creation, miraculous renovation, and subsequent veneration at the heart of Mexico City. He also reveals how colonial politics were woven into the statue’s life from the very start. Reconstructing the history of a key artwork, Miraculous Celebrity sheds new light on the intersection of art, faith, and politics in the Spanish colonial world.

c oncrete art and poetry burst onto b razil’s cultural stage in the 1950s, while the country was embarking on a dizzying period of modernization. Bringing together key poets and visual artists alongside less recognized figures, Nathaniel Wolfson shows that concretism was hardly socially inert, as pundits have suggested. Rather, it presciently grappled with an emerging information age that would soon reorganize human relations globally.

Concrete Encoded describes a nascent cybernetic imaginary. While concretism has long been considered Brazil’s most global aesthetic movement, Wolfson traces new circles of international theorists and practitioners involved in critical technological thought. Wolfson argues that concrete poetry is the quintessential literary genre of the early information age. He shows that Brazilian poets, artists, and designers contested the military dictatorship’s technological authoritarianism and informationgathering operations. Vigorous experimentalists, their attention to form and semantics unveiled both the creative and nefarious possibilities of algorithmic writing. A highly original and daring work, Concrete Encoded reckons with aesthetic responses from Brazil to an advancing capitalist and digital era.

An exploration of the political thriller genre and its context in Latin American politics and entertainment

Precarious Secrets A History of the Latin American Political Thriller

BY FABRICIO TOCCO

f or the p ast five decades, a distinctive type of political thriller has been steadily developing in Latin America. Precarious Secrets is a panoramic overview of the genre in the hands of renowned writers and filmmakers from Argentina, Mexico, Chile, and Brazil, as well as lesser-known Uruguayan and Paraguayan artists for whom the style has been a vehicle for pungent narratives shot through with menace and conspiracy.

Fabricio Tocco explores the genre’s unique role in Latin American entertainment and activism. Precarious Secrets traces the evolution of the Latin American political thriller from its emergence in the 1970s, through the silence imposed by dictatorships and the genre’s resurgence after the Cold War. The political thriller has dramatized the region’s turbulent past, through assassinations, coups, mass killings, revolutions and the search for desaparecidos by human rights organizations. In the process, Tocco isolates the Latin American political thriller’s particular grammar of secrecy. In the Hollywood thriller, revealing secrets involves high stakes and transformative consequences. In Latin American political thrillers, by contrast, secrets produce only more precarity—moral ambiguity as unsettling as it is unshakeable.

He has had a lengthy and varied career with National Geographic and other major magazines, traveling around the world to tell visual stories.

Kashi’s archive, now housed at the Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin, contains many of his personal memories and the experiences attached to the creation of those images. More than a simple repository of images, the archive is a growing, thriving, and continually evolving organism, a living library with immense value.

Through his photography, Kashi has had an intimate, frontrow seat to witness and record major events in history. His work has been a passport to worlds unseen, unveiling issues that need illumination, documenting history in the making, and capturing the human experience and the many awe-inspiring places in our fragile world. A Period in Time is a testimony to some of Kashi’s most memorable stories—people he has been privileged to observe and learn from and the places and narratives that have shaped his life, all captured one moment at a time.

What does it mean to “revitalize” an indigenous language when approximately 6,700 of the nearly 7,000 left in the world need protection? Where to begin? Each language offers a sense of history, identity, and belonging within society to the people actively using it. The Word Tree begins by hearing directly from those still communicating in some of these less dominant languages, from Achi’es to Zapotec, and offers the metaphor of a tree whose political roots sustain the trunk of education that will bear the fruit of learning languages anew. Whether describing the tension between indigenous and state-recognized languages; the process of linguistics displacement resulting from migration; or the value of locally focused efforts in a cultural cooperative, these nine essays offer fresh and useful perspectives.

The Word Tree is the result of a collaboration between the National Autonomous University of Mexico and the University of Texas at Austin. Gathering diverse concerns, experiences, explorations, proposals, and perspectives on the revitalization of some of the continent’s most imperiled indigenous languages, the contributors aim to introduce their struggle for existence to a modern world. From south to north, the Quecha or Runasimi, Maya, Zapotec or Diidxaza, Chatino, Mephaa or Tlapaneco, Miteco, Mixe or Auukj, and Nahuatl languages exist in all their vast complexities and contexts. At its most fundamental level, this book is a call to develop alternative paths for human existence in which caring for one another is the consensus.

From The Word Tree

The sustenance of our way of life is our language, our territory, and being runa. The linguistic aspect is not a separate field, but rather interconnected with the political and territorial aspects; therefore, it is indispensable to connect the use of language with the political and territorial defense of indigenousness. In this regard, Yásnaya Elena Aguilar Gil states that language is not only a cognitive system, but part of the territory—especially cognitive territory. We concur with this Mixe author: we struggle for languages, but also for the autonomy and sovereignty of indigenous territories. In the present case, nation-states must respect the territory of the Quechua people.

Language is culture, art, or, as it tends to be considered, the “wealth” of nation-states in addition to the living territory of entire peoples like the Quechua, which ought to be made visible and audible. Quechua constitutes a living language and, therefore, its visibility ought to be based on a space of resurgence. Our language has existed since before the creation of Peru, and is used in people’s everyday lives. The attempt at erasure spearheaded by the Peruvian nation-state does not mean Quechua is no longer used. Indeed, we would like to have written this essay in Quechua but, out of deference to the diversity of our readership, we chose not to.

o ne of the most pivotal chapters in a merican history was captured on film by a twenty-five-year-old photographer named James “Spider” Martin. Throughout March 1965, Martin documented the voting rights protests in Selma, Alabama, from “Bloody Sunday” to the final march to Montgomery. His photos, widely shared by the news media, brought the violent treatment of peaceful protesters to the attention of the nation and led to support for civil rights legislation. In honor of the sixtieth anniversary of the events that inspired the Voting Rights Act, this collection of newly restored photographs is a reminder of the impact of those courageous acts. Selma Is Now serves as the catalog for an exhibition of Spider Martin’s work that premiered at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts in February 2025.

Spider Martin’s photographic archive, housed at the University of Texas’s Briscoe Center for American History, serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery exhibited by those who marched in 1965. His photographs give an insider’s perspective on the chaos resulting from the Alabama state troopers’ vicious attack on peaceful protesters, and they reveal much about the relationship between the news media, the police, and the protesters. In revisiting this history, we can recognize the critical importance of these events to our democracy, both then and now.

Post-medical school Naythons worked forty-eight-hour emergency room shifts in rural California, which gave him freedom to explore the world of photojournalism as a freelancer, eventually joining Time. He was on one of the last helicopters out of Saigon the morning the city fell, and on the first helicopter into the horror of Jonestown. He covered the Yom Kippur War, the Nicaraguan revolution, and the United States invasion of Grenada, among other stories.

After photographing the exodus of skeletal Cambodian refugees into Thailand in 1979, Naythons laid down his cameras and returned to his first calling. He founded International Medical Teams, which brought American physicians, nurses, and paramedics across the Thai border into Cambodia.

Many of the images in this book bear witness to the aftermath of wars and natural disasters. Yet amid the darkness, his photographs also illuminate luminous moments of life, joy, and hope. “Cameras peer through darkness,” Naythons reflected. “I’ve used mine to shed light in dark places.”
