THE HOUSE ON G STREET A Cuban Family Saga

Lisandro Pérez

The unforgettable story of a family swept into history by the Cuban Revolution

In The House on G Street, award-winning author Lisandro Pérez tells Cuba’s story through the lens of a single family: his own. It culminates with an unforgettable portrait of a childhood spent in a world that was giving way to another one. The House on G Street is a unique depiction of one of the most consequential events of the twentieth century, told through generations of ancestors whose lives were shaped by dramatic historical forces.

Pérez disentangles the complex history by following his family’s thread, imbuing political events with personal meaning. Their story begins with emigration to Cuba and follows the waning years of the colony. The end of Spanish rule gives way to pervasive American influence, and Perez’s family turned to New York as they adapted to the realities of a new republic with compromised sovereignty. His family learned to navigate the uneasy relationship between the United States and Cuba, a relationship that was destined to end in dramatic fashion. More than sixty years later, the Cuban Revolution resists receding into the past, sparking continued discussion, debate, and reinterpretation. There is a great deal that is known about the broad historical conditions that inexorably pushed Cuba towards revolution, but much less is known about the people who lived that dramatic history.

It is a story that, if not recovered and told, will be lost, for Pérez’s ancestors lived in a world that no longer exists, swept away by a tide of revolutionary change. The House on G Street follows a family whose lives mirror the history of a nation. The result is a compelling blend of memoir and in-depth historical research, a remarkable new view of the path to revolution as seen from the first person.

THE PEER EFFECT

How Your Peers Shape Who You Are and Who You Will Become

Syed Ali and Margaret M. Chin

How the power of peers and peer culture shapes individual behavior and future success

For decades, parents across America have asked their kids, “If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?” The answer is, “Duh, yes.” Peers, as parents well know, have a tremendous impact on who their kids are and what they will become. And even while they insist otherwise, parents know that they’re largely powerless to change this. But the effect of peers is not just a story about kids; peers can also affect adult behavior—they affect what we do and who we are well into old age. Noted sociologists Syed Ali and Margaret M. Chin call this “the peer effect.” In their book, they take readers on a tour of how our peers, and the peer cultures they create, shape our behavior in schools and the workplace. Through a fascinating and often humorous narrative, they show how peers can influence each other, how highly motivated students can create a culture of influence to achieve success in learning and in admission to elite colleges. They also show the many other ways that peers can influence one another beyond school performance, from hookup culture to school bullying and youth suicide.

Ali and Chin are also interested in the extent to which the peer effect can last. They examine the peer effect in post–high school settings, notably around workplace misconduct, including the steroid culture in baseball and the use of excessive force by the police. The Peer Effect ultimately offers ways to understand the power of peer influence and apply this understanding to resolving issues regarding schools, college graduation rates, workplace culture, and police violence. In the tradition of big idea books like The Tipping Point, The Peer Effect will forever change the way we look at the world of human behavior.

MARTY GLICKMAN The Life of an American Jewish Sports Legend

Jeffrey S. Gurock

For close to half a century after World War II, Marty Glickman was the voice of New York sports. His distinctive style of broadcasting, on television and especially on the radio, garnered for him legions of fans who would not miss his play-by-play accounts. From the 1940s through the 1990s, he was as iconic a sports figure in town as the Yankees’ Mickey Mantle, the Knicks’ Walt Frazier, or the Jets’ Joe Namath.

In Marty Glickman, Jeffrey S. Gurock relays the story of this incredibly influential public figure, showcasing the significance of his life as a twentieth-century American Jew. Much has been written about Glickman’s triumphs as a sportscaster, but Gurock focuses on Glickman’s Judaism as a decisive force in his life. One of the defining experiences of his life was when, as a young track star on the 1936 US Olympic team, he was prevented from participating in the Summer Olympics in Germany, allegedly out of a desire to avoid embarrassing Hitler with the sight of a Jew on the victory stand. Marty Glickman is a story of adversity and triumph, of sports and religion, told within the context of the prejudicial and cultural barriers that were common to thousands, if not millions, of fellow Jews of his generation as they aimed to make it in America.

"Marty Glickman was one of the greatest sportscasters of all time, a true pioneer in the industry. He was instrumental in guiding me in my career, and he was equally generous in providing advice to young sportscasters throughout the country. His is a unique life story, all captured beautifully by Jeffrey Gurock."

HISTORY

BAYARD RUSTIN

A Legacy of Protest and Politics

Edited by Michael G. Long

Celebrates the life and legacy of Bayard Rustin, the civil rights leader behind the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom

While we can all recall images of Martin Luther King Jr. giving his “I Have a Dream” speech in front of a massive crowd at Lincoln Memorial, few of us remember the man who organized this watershed nonviolent protest in eight short weeks: Bayard Rustin.

This was far from Rustin’s first foray into the fight for civil rights. As a world-traveling pacifist, he brought Gandhi’s protest techniques to the forefront of US civil rights demonstrations, helped build the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, led the fight for economic justice, and played a deeply influential role in the life of Dr. King by helping to mold him into an international symbol of nonviolent resistance. Rustin’s legacy touches many areas of contemporary life—from civil resistance to violent uprisings, democracy to socialism, and criminal justice reform to war resistance.

Despite these achievements, Rustin was often relegated to the background. He was silenced, threatened, arrested, beaten, imprisoned, and fired from important leadership positions, largely because he was an openly gay man in a fiercely homophobic era. With expansive, searching, and sometimes critical essays from a range of esteemed writers—including Rustin’s own partner, Walter Naegle—this volume draws a full picture of Bayard Rustin: a gay, pacifist, socialist political radical who changed the course of US history and set a precedent for future civil rights activism, from LGBTQ+ Pride to Black Lives Matter.

AMERICAN PATRIOTS A Short History of Dissent Ralph

Young

A concise history that proves that dissent is patriotic

In American Patriots, historian Ralph Young chronicles the key role dissent has played in shaping the United States. He explains that activists are not protesting against America, but pushing the country to live up to its ideals. As he guides the reader through the history of protest, Young considers how ordinary Americans, from moderates to firebrands, responded to injustice. He highlights the work of organizations like SNCC and ACT UP, and he follows iconic individuals like Ida B. Wells-Barnett and Woody Guthrie, charting the impact of their dissent. Some of these protesters are celebrated heroes of American history, while others are ordinary people, frequently overlooked, whose stories show that change is often accomplished through grassroots activism.

Yet not all dissent is equal. In 2021, thousands of rioters stormed the US Capitol, and Americans on both sides of the aisle watched the destruction with horror. American Patriots contrasts this attack with the long history of American protest, and challenges us to explore our definition of dissent. Does it express a legitimate grievance or a smokescreen for undermining democracy? What are the limits of dissent? Where does dissent end and sedition begin?

In a time when legitimate dissent is framed as unpatriotic, Young reminds us of the dissenters who have shaped our country’s history. American Patriots is a necessary defense of our right to demand better for ourselves, our communities, and our nation.

RALPH YOUNG is Professor of Instruction in History at Temple University. He is the author of Make Art Not War: Political Protest Posters from the Twentieth Century and Dissent in America: The Voices That Shaped a Nation.

THE NEW TRUE CRIME

How the Rise of Serialized Storytelling Is Transforming Innocence

Diana Rickard

How serialized crime shows became an American obsession

With a focus on some of the most popular true crime podcasts and steaming series of the last decade, Diana Rickard provides an in-depth analysis of the ways in which this new media—which allows for bingelistening or watching—makes crime into a public spectacle and conveys ideological messages about punishment to its audience. Entertainment values have always been entwined with crime news reporting. Newsworthy stories, Rickard reminds us, need to involve sex, violence, or a famous person, and contain events that can be framed in terms of individualism and conservative ideologies about crime. Even as these old tropes of innocent victims and deviant bad guys still dominate these docuseries, Rickard also unpacks how the new true crime has been influenced by the innocence movement, a diverse group of organizers and activists, be they journalists, lawyers, formerly incarcerated people, or family members, who now have a place in mainstream consciousness as DNA evidence exonerates the wrongly convicted.

The New True Crime questions the knowability of truth and probes our anxieties about the “real” nature of true crime media. For fans of true crime shows and anyone concerned about justice in America, this book will prove to be essential reading.

NORMPORN

Queer Viewers and the TV That Soothes Us Karen Tongson

An irreverent look at the love-hate relationship between queer viewers and mainstream family TV shows like Gilmore Girls and This Is Us

After personal loss, political upheaval, and the devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us craved a return to business as usual, the mundane, the middlebrow. We turned to TV to find these things. For nearly forty years, network television has produced a constant stream of “cry-along” sentimental-realist dramedies designed to appeal to liberal, heterosexual, white America. But what makes us keep watching, even though these TV series inevitably fail to reflect who we are?

Revisiting soothing network dramedies like Parenthood, Gilmore Girls, This Is Us, and their late80s precursor, thirtysomething, Normporn mines the nuanced pleasures and attraction-repulsion queer viewers experience watching liberal family-centric shows. Karen Tongson reflects on how queer cultural observers work through repeated declarations of a “new normal” and flash lifestyle trends like “normcore,” even as the absurdity, aberrance, and violence of our culture intensifies.

Normporn asks, what are queers to do—what is anyone to do, really—when we are forced to confront the fact of our own normalcy, and our own privilege, inherited or attained? The fantasies, the utopian impulses, and (paradoxically) the unreality of sentimental realist TV drama creates a productive tension that queer spectators in particular take pleasure in, even as—or precisely because—it lulls us into a sense of boredom and stability that we never thought we could want or have.

KAREN TONGSON is Professor of Gender & Sexuality Studies, English, and American Studies & Ethnicity at the University of Southern California. She is the author of Why Karen Carpenter Matters and Relocations: Queer Suburban Imaginaries, as well as coeditor of the Postmillennial Pop book series at NYU Press.

Women, Sports, and the Contradictions of Identity

Michelle J. Manno

Women’s college basketball is big business—top teams bring in millions of dollars in revenue for their schools. Women’s NCAA games are broadcast regularly on sports networks, and many of the top players and coaches are household names. Yet these athletes face immense pressure to be more than successful at their sport. They must also conform to expectations about gender, sexuality, and race—expectations that are often in direct contrast to success in the game. They are not supposed to have muscles that are too big, they are not supposed to be too tough, they are not supposed to be too masculine or “look like men,” and they are not supposed to be queer.

GENDER STUDIES

A former college athlete herself, Michelle J. Manno spent a full season with a highly competitive NCAA Division I women’s basketball program as one of the team’s managers. In vivid detail, she takes us on the court, on the team bus, into the locker room, and to championship games to show the intense dedication that these women give to the game. She found, perhaps unsurprisingly, that these extremely talented women were strictly policed around the presentation of their gender and sexuality, especially the athletes who were Black. Convincingly conforming to conventional expectations of gender and sexuality—from the clothes they wore to the people they dated—was yet another challenge at which they needed to excel. Importantly, Manno also highlights several well-known contemporary professional athletes—Brittney Griner, Serena Williams, Gabby Douglas, and Caster Semenya, among others—to show that fame and performing at the highest levels in sport does not protect women athletes from having to navigate the conflicting and often contradictory expectations of identity.

HISTORY

FREE TIME The History of an Elusive Ideal

Gary S. Cross

The history of leisure time, from the earliest labor rights movements to the work-fromhome era

Free time, one of life’s most precious things, often feels unfulfilling. But why? And how did leisure activities transition from strolling in the park to “doomscrolling” on social media for thirty minutes?

Today, despite the promise of modern industrialization, many people experience both a scarcity of free time and a disappointment in it. Free Time offers a broad historical explanation of why our affluent society does not afford more time away from work and why that time is often unsatisfying. Gary S. Cross explores the cultural, social, economic, and political history of the past 250 years to understand the roots of our conceptions of free time and its use.

Cross touches on leisure of all kinds, from peasant festivals and aristocratic pleasure gardens to amusement parks, movie theaters and organized sports to internet surfing, and even the use of alcohol and drugs. This wide-ranging cultural and social history explores the industrial-era origins of our modern obsession with work and productivity, but also the historical efforts to liberate time from work and cultivate free time for culture. Insightful and informative, this book is sure to help you make sense of your own relationship to free time.

FROM DUST THEY CAME Government Camps and the Religion of Reform in New Deal California

Jonathan H. Ebel

The untold story of the federal government’s Depression-era effort to redeem Dust Bowl refugees in rural California through religion

In the midst of the Great Depression, punished by crippling drought and deepening poverty, hundreds of thousands of families left the Great Plains and the Southwest to look for work in California’s rich agricultural valleys. In response to the scene of destitute white families living in filthy shelters built of cardboard, twigs, and refuse, reform-minded New Deal officials built a series of camps to provide them with shelter and community.

Using the extensive archives of the federal migratory camp system, From Dust They Came tells the story of the religious dynamics in and around migratory farm labor camps in agricultural California established and operated by the Resettlement Administration and the Farm Security Administration. Jonathan H. Ebel makes the case that the camps served as mission sites for the conversion of migrants to more modern ways of living and believing. Though the ideas of virtuous citizenship put forward by the camp administrators were framed as secular, they rested on a foundation of Protestantism. At the same time, many of the migrants were themselves conservative or charismatic Protestants who had other ideas for how their religion intended them to be.

By looking at the camps as missionary spaces, Ebel shows that this New Deal program was animated both by humanitarian concern and by the belief that these poor, white migrants and their religious practices were unfit for life in a modernized, secular world. Innovative and compelling, From Dust They Came is the first book to reveal the braiding of secularism, religion, and modernity through and around the lives of Dust Bowl migrants and New Deal reformers.

FALSE STARTS The Segregated Lives of Preschoolers

Casey Stockstill

An inside look at the racial and class divides between Head Start and private pre-K classrooms for children and their families

The benefits of preschool have been part of our national conversation since the 1960s, when Head Start, a publicly funded preschool program for low-income children, began. In the past two decades, forty-four states have expanded access to preschool, often citing preschool as an anti-poverty policy. Yet, as Casey Stockstill shows, two-thirds of American preschools are segregated—concentrating primarily poor children of color or affluent white children in separate schools. Stockstill argues that, as a result, segregated preschools entrench rather than disrupt inequality.

Stockstill spent two years observing children and teachers at two preschools in Madison, Wisconsin. Stockstill observed one preschool that was 95% white and another that was 95% children of color. She shows that this segregation was more than a background variable or inconvenient image; segregation had an impact on children’s experiences in multiple ways, but especially in the ways they spent their time, the supervision and instruction they received, and the ways they learned and socialized with other children. Stockstill shows that even in high-quality preschools that on paper have similar resources, de facto segregation creates different school experiences for children that ultimately reinforce racial and class inequality.

False Starts suggests that as we continue to invest in preschool as an anti-poverty policy, we need a fuller understanding of how segregated classroom environments impact children's educational outcomes and their ability to thrive.

INSIDE KNOWLEDGE Incarcerated People on the Failures of the American Prison

Doran Larson

A powerful critique of mass incarceration by the people who have experienced it

Inside Knowledge is the first book to examine the American prison system through the eyes of those who are trapped within it. Drawing from the writings collected in the American Prison Writing Archive, Doran Larson deftly illustrates how mass incarceration does less to contain any harm perpetrated by convicted people than to spread and perpetuate harm among their families and communities.

Inside Knowledge makes a powerful argument that America’s prisons not only degrade and debilitate their wards but also defeat the prison’s cardinal missions of rehabilitation, containment, deterrence, and even meaningful retribution.

If prisons are places where convicted people are sent to learn a lesson, then imprisoned people are the ones who know just what American prisons actually teach. At once profound and devastating, Inside Knowledge is an invaluable resource for those interested in addressing mass incarceration in America.

LAW DEMOCRATIZED

A Blueprint for Solving the Justice Crisis

Renee Knake Jefferson

A practical plan for providing legal help to all, regardless of resources

Millions of people in the United States face legal problems without lawyers to help them. Why? How do we educate and inform the public about the law so they can understand when the services of a lawyer are necessary or desirable? When can individuals solve legal problems on their own or with the assistance of a specialist without a traditional law degree? In short, how do we democratize the law?

Law Democratized offers a blueprint to increase legal help for everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. Building on more than a decade of research into innovation in legal services, the book advances a series of recommendations inspired by success stories from around the globe. Renee Knake Jefferson outlines different paths pursued by bar associations, courts, entrepreneurs, law schools, nonprofits, and others, evaluating the promise and pitfalls of each. She analyzes regulatory reforms employed in other nations, along with emerging efforts in a handful of US states.

If the rule of law is the bedrock that American democracy rests upon, then the justice transformed system must be open and user-friendly to all. Law Democratized makes a compelling argument for transforming the American legal landscape through engaged citizenship, ethical innovation, expanded education, and regulatory reform, in order to democratize law and make legal help more accessible.

THE LAW OF PRESIDENTIAL IMPEACHMENT A Guide for the Engaged Citizen Michael J. Gerhardt

A clear and comprehensive overview of presidential impeachment from a leading expert in the field

As a result of Donald Trump’s presidency, impeachment was once again thrust into the spotlight of American political discussion. However, its history goes back to the very founding of the nation, when American colonists, remembering their grievances against their former king, entrenched the process in their new Constitution.

The Law of Presidential Impeachment breaks down both the law and politics of this process, providing a comprehensive, nonpartisan, and up-to-date explanation of the Constitution’s various mechanisms for holding presidents accountable for their misdeeds. Based on a lifetime of scholarly research, as well as unique experience as a witness and consultant in the impeachment trials of Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, Michael J. Gerhardt’s new book takes the reader back to the basics of presidential impeachments. Gerhardt offers new perspectives on the subject, arguing that it cannot be properly understood in a vacuum, but must instead be viewed in the context of its coordination with such other mechanisms as criminal prosecutions, censure, elections, congressional oversight, and the Fourteenth and Twenty-Fifth Amendments.

The Law of Presidential Impeachment will be an invaluable, accessible guide for future generations, giving them a succinct yet remarkably nuanced understanding of this core aspect of our executive branch and overarching governmental system.

GERHARDT is Burton Craige Distinguished Professor of Jurisprudence at the University of North Carolina Law School and author of six books, including The Forgotten Presidents: Their Untold Constitutional Legacy, which The Financial Times selected as one of the best non-fiction books of 2013.

THE VIOLENT UNDERPINNINGS OF AMERICAN LIFE

How Violence Maintains Social Order in the US

Liam Downey

A damning examination of how violence serves to maintain social order and elite power in the United States

The Violent Underpinnings of American Life boldly asserts that violence—far from going against American ideals—is as American as apple pie, central to the country’s social order and the dominance of its most powerful groups. Drawing from extensive research and analysis of key social, political, and cultural events, Liam Downey investigates the myriad ways violence maintains the American way of life. Through compelling case studies, Downey identifies four main ways in which violence produces and maintains the American social hierarchy: the creation of divisions among non-elite social groups; the reinforcement of dominant discourses in multiple social arenas; the aligning of marginalized group identities with dominant institutional practices; and the selective promotion of the interests of specific, non-elite groups.

This is the first book to argue that violence is both a negative, coercive power and a positive, productive one that helps produce not only social order but also consent, discipline, discourse, identity, subjectivity, and embodied knowledge, among other things. The Violent Underpinnings of American Life is an audacious work that argues violence is absolutely central to social life in America, and that Americans cannot effectively fight against the inequalities that surround them without accepting this reality.

THE VARIETIES OF SUICIDAL EXPERIENCE

A New Theory of Suicidal Violence Thomas Joiner

Argues that a range of behaviors such as murder-suicide, terrorism, and mass shootings are better understood as motivated by suicidal impulses than by homicidal ones

Mass shooters often display behaviors that strongly mirror the warning signs for suicide: lives led in isolation, intense personal suffering, disaffection, and struggle. Letters detailing why they did what they did paint pictures of intense misery and loneliness. As this book makes clear, private despair sometimes leads to social violence.

In this groundbreaking work, Thomas Joiner offers a unified theory of suicide, making the case that many acts that appear homicidal are best understood primarily as suicidal. We must recognize that there are several forms of suicidal violence, some of which masquerade as other types of acts, including terrorism and murder. These include suicide-by-cop, suicide terrorism, murder-suicide, and running amok. Though there are obvious differences among these acts, Joiner argues that framing them as stemming from a common ideology of suicide is a crucial step in preventing these atrocities.

By recognizing the desire to die—not to kill—as being at the heart of many of the acts of those who choose to kill their partner, shoot up their school, or terrorize their community, we can offer more effective measures of intervention. At a time when our nation is scrambling for solutions in the fight to end gun violence, this book presents a crucial component in the detection and treatment of unwell individuals.

HISTORY

FORGED IN AMERICA

How Irish-Jewish Encounters Shaped a Nation

Edited by Hasia R. Diner and Miriam Nyhan Grey

Examines how Irish and Jewish Americans defined their place in a complex society

The story of America is the story of the unlikely groups of immigrants brought together by their shared outsider status. Urban American life took much of its shape from the arrival of Irish and Jewish immigrants in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and Forged in America is the story of how Irish America and Jewish America collided, cooperated, and collaborated in the cities where they made their homes, all the while shaping American identity and nationhood as we know it.

Bringing together leading scholars in their fields, this volume sheds light on the underexplored histories of Irish and Jewish collaboration. While mutual antagonism was clearly evident, so too were opportunities for cooperation, as settled Irish immigrants served to model, mentor, and mediate for Jewish newcomers. Together, the chapters in this volume draw fascinating portraits that show mutuality in action and demonstrate its cultural reverberations.

A REVOLUTION IN TYPE

Gender and the Making of the American Yiddish Press

Ayelet Brinn

A fascinating glimpse into the complex and often unexpected ways that women and ideas about women shaped widely read Jewish newspapers

Between the 1880s and 1920s, Yiddish-language newspapers rose from obscurity to become successful institutions integral to American Jewish life. During this period, Yiddish-speaking immigrants came to view newspapers as indispensable parts of their daily lives. For many Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, acclimating to America became inextricably intertwined with becoming a devoted reader of the Yiddish periodical press, as the newspapers and their staffs became a fusion of friends, religious and political authorities, tour guides, matchmakers, and social welfare agencies.

In A Revolution in Type, Ayelet Brinn argues that women were central to the emergence of the Yiddish press as a powerful, influential force in American Jewish culture. Through rhetorical debates about women readers and writers, the producers of the Yiddish press explored how to transform their newspapers to reach a large, diverse audience. The seemingly peripheral status of women’s columns and other newspaper features supposedly aimed at a female audience—but in reality, read with great interest by male and female readers alike—meant that editors and publishers often used these articles as testing grounds for the types of content their newspapers should encompass. Brinn shows that instead of framing issues of gender as marginal, we must view them as central to understanding how the American Yiddish press developed into the influential, complex, and diverse publication field it eventually became.

AIDING IRELAND

The Great Famine and the Rise of Transnational Philanthropy

Anelise Hanson Shrout

Looks at the ways that disparate groups used Irish famine relief in the 1840s to advance their own political agendas

Famine brought ruin to the Irish countryside in the nineteenth century. In response, people around the world and from myriad social, ethnic, and religious backgrounds became involved in Irish famine relief. Aiding Ireland investigates the Irish famine as a foundational moment for normalizing international giving. Anelise Hanson Shrout demonstrates that international philanthropy and aid are never simple, and are always intertwined with politics both at home and abroad.

Follows a group of people exiled from Ireland after a failed rebellion and the role they had in the building of new nations and states

This book is about the Young Irelanders, a group of Irish nationalists in the mid-nineteenth century, who were responsible for a failed rebellion in Ireland during the Great Famine, who once exiled from Ireland, came to play formative roles in the fledgling democracies of Australia, Canada, and the United States. Young Ireland is a vital new perspective in the field of Irish diaspora studies, highlighting the impact the Young Ireland generation had on emerging democracies and international debates, both in spite of and because of their defeat and dispersion.

THE PINK WAVE Women Running for Office After Trump

William W. Parsons and Regina M. Matheson

How and why the election of Donald Trump inspired more women to enter politics

Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election shocked and dismayed many women, and motivated many to run for office at all levels of government. The Pink Wave explores this inspiring phenomenon and its impact on women’s representation. Drawing on national surveys and in-depth interviews of over 900 women, across almost every state, The Pink Wave celebrates the hundreds of trailblazing women creating new political opportunities for representation, now and in the future.

TOXIC LAKE

Environmental Destruction and the Epic Fight to Save Onondaga Lake

Thomas Shevory

The environmental history of “the most polluted lake in America.”

Native Americans have long regarded Onondaga Lake as one of the most sacred spaces in the continent, the place where peace between nations was achieved and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy was created. In the mid-twentieth century, however, it acquired a wholly different reputation as “the most polluted lake in America.” Toxic Lake is an environmental history of this complex ecological system, tracking how it was tarnished, the costly efforts to clean it up, and the controversies those efforts generated.

UNSUSTAINABLE Measurement, Reporting, and the Limits of Corporate Sustainability

Matthew Archer

A behind-the-scenes look at how corporate and financial actors enforce a business-friendly approach to global sustainability

Unsustainable contends with the world of big banks and multinational corporations, where sustainability begins and ends with measuring and reporting. Through this obsession with metrics and indicators, the adage that you can’t manage what you can’t measure transforms into a belief that once you’ve measured social and environmental impacts, the market will simply manage them for you. Through an intersectional lens incorporating Black and Indigenous theories of knowledge, power and value, Matthew Archer offers a vision of sustainability that aims to be more effective and more socially and ecologically just.

OUT OF PLACE

The Lives of Korean Adoptee Immigrants SunAh M Laybourn

How Korean adoptees went from being adoptable orphans to deportable immigrants

Since the early 1950s, over 125,000 Korean children have been adopted in the United States, primarily by white families. Despite being legally adopted, Korean adoptees routinely experience refusals of belonging, whether by state agents, laws, and regulations, in everyday interactions, or even through media portrayals that render them invisible. In Out of Place, SunAh M Laybourn, herself a Korean American adoptee, examines this long-term journey, with a particular focus on the race-making process and the contradictions inherent to the model minority myth.

THE MANUFACTURING OF JOB DISPLACEMENT

How Racial Capitalism Drives Immigrant and Gender Inequality in the Labor Market

The employer-driven push to systematically replace Black workers with unauthorized immigrants

In Manufacturing Job Displacement, Laura López-Sanders argues that the walls of American businesses hide a system of illegal practices and behaviors that lead to racial inequality in the labor market. Drawing on extensive research in South Carolina manufacturing facilities, nearly 300 interviews, and her own experience working at both the “bottom” of the labor market and in mid-level supervisory positions, López-Sanders provides a behind-the-scenes accounting of daily factory life.

THE DIGITAL DEPARTED How We Face Death, Commemorate Life, and Chase Virtual Immortality

Timothy Recuber

A fascinating exploration of the social meaning of digital death

From blogs written by terminally ill authors to online notes left by those considering suicide, technology has become a medium for the dead and the dying to cope with the anxiety of death. The Digital Departed explores the posthumous internet world from the perspective of both the living and the dead. Based on hundreds of blog posts, suicide notes, Twitter hashtags, and videos, Recuber examines the ways we die online, and the digital texts we leave behind. In this thoughtprovoking and uniquely troubling work, Recuber shows that although we might pass away, our digital souls live on, online, in a kind of purgatory of their own.

In the Western world, same-sex male couples are far more likely to have large age gaps than other types of partnerships. Daddies of a Different Kind analyzes the stories of gay and bisexual daddies and asks why younger men are interested in older men for sex and relationships. Tony Silva shows that daddies mentor younger adult men and transmit knowledge intergenerationally, including how to navigate homophobia, access gay communities, and have fulfilling sex.

FOR PLEASURE Race, Experimentalism, and Aesthetics

Rachel Jane Carroll

Argues that aesthetic pleasure plays a key role in both racial practices and struggles against racist domination

For Pleasure proposes that experimental aesthetics shaped race in the twentieth-century United States by creating transformative scenes of pleasure. Rachel Jane Carroll explains how aesthetic pleasure is fundamental to the production and circulation of racial meaning in the United States through a study of experimental work by authors and artists of color. Along the way, we learn what a racist joke has to do with the history of monochrome painting, if beauty has a part to play in social change, and whether whimsy should be taken seriously as a political affect.

Coloring into Existence explores the curious ways that queer and trans of color publications “color outside the lines”—refusing to conform to industry standards, intermixing fiction with nonfiction, and mobilizing alternative modes of production and distribution to create new worlds.

THE FAITHFUL SCIENTIST Experiences of

Anti-Religious Bias in Scientific

Training

Christopher P. Scheitle

Reveals biases within scientific PhD training programs against emerging scientists who embrace a religious faith and the ramifications for science

Science is often viewed as antithetical to religion, and it is true that scientists, particularly those who work at universities, are generally much less religious than the average American adult. So what is it like to be a religious individual pursuing an advanced education and career in science? The Faithful Scientist shows that the core challenge is not contending with contradictions between faith-based beliefs and scientific knowledge. Instead, it is the bias budding scientific practitioners face from their colleagues if they are religious.

CHRISTIAN IMPERIAL FEMINISM

White Protestant Women and the Consecration of Empire

Gale L. Kenny

Illuminates how white American Protestant women embraced a racially specific version of social inclusiveness that centered themselves as the norm

Amidst the global instability of the early twentieth century, white Christian American women embraced the idea of an “empire of Christ” that was racially diverse, but which they believed they were uniquely qualified to manage. This new approach actually prioritized issues like civil rights and racial integration, as well as the uplift of women, though the racially diverse world Christianity it aspired to was still to be rigidly hierarchically ordered, with white women retaining a privileged place as guardians.

A THEOLOGY OF BROTHERHOOD

The Federal Council of Churches and the Problem of Race

Curtis J. Evans

Examines the influence of the Federal Council of Churches’ Department of Race Relations

A Theology of Brotherhood explores how the national umbrella Christian organization, the Federal Council of Churches, acted as a crucial conduit and organizational force for the dissemination of “progressive” views on race in the first half of the twentieth century. Drawing on years of archival research, Curtis J. Evans shows that the Council’s theological approach to race was responsible for meaningful progress in some white Protestant churches on racial issues.

THE ESSENCE OF REALITY

A Defense of Philosophical Sufism

ʿAyn al-Quḍāt

Foreword by Livia Kohn

Translated by Mohammed Rustom

A groundbreaking exposition of Islamic mysticism

The Essence of Reality was written over the course of just three days in 514/1120, by a scholar who was just twenty-four. The text, like its author ʿAyn al-Quḍāt, is remarkable for many reasons, not least of which that it is in all likelihood the earliest philosophical exposition of mysticism in the Islamic intellectual tradition. This important work would go on to exert significant influence on both classical Islamic philosophy and philosophical mysticism.

Written in a terse yet beautiful style, The Essence of Reality consists of one hundred brief chapters interspersed with Qurʾanic verses, prophetic sayings, Sufi maxims, and poetry. In conversation with the work of the philosophers Avicenna and al-Ghazālī, the book takes readers on a philosophical journey, with lucid expositions of questions including the problem of the eternity of the world; the nature of God’s essence and attributes; the concepts of “before” and “after”; and the soul’s relationship to the body. All these discussions are seamlessly tied into ʿAyn al-Quḍāt’s foundational argument—that mystical knowledge lies beyond the realm of the intellect.

An English-only edition.

New in Paperback

"Rustom’s new book is a masterful translation, superb critical edition and comprehensive guide to the thought of one of the most prominent Muslim thinkers,The Essence of Reality is a clear and fluent translation that successfully transfers the literary power of the original text into English." — Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations

ʿAYN AL-QUḌĀT was a philosopher, mystic, and judge who was born in the western Iranian city of Hamadān. He was the student of Aḥmad al-Ghazālī, the brother of the famous Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī. A maverick figure, he was put to death by the Seljuqs at the age of thirty-four, ostensibly on charges of heresy.

IN DEADLY EMBRACE

Arabic Hunting Poems

Ibn al-Muʿtazz

Edited and Translated by James E. Montgomery

A collection of poems about nature and power

To Ibn al-Muʿtazz and his Abbasid contemporaries, the hunt was more than a diversion—it was the theater for their poetic and political endeavors, captured here in fifty-nine Arabic hunting poems, or ṭardiyyāt The poems of In Deadly Embrace describe hunting expeditions with animals trained to hunt, including saluki hounds and birds of prey. Many were composed after these outings, when the hunting party gathered to enjoy the game they caught.

Poetry was central to Abbasid society and served as a method of maintaining networks of patronage and friendship; the poems in this collection reflect these power dynamics and allowed Ibn al-Muʿtazz—prince of the realm and in line for the caliphate—to explore his own relationship to social and political power and to demonstrate his fitness to rule.

Ibn al-Muʿtazz was an influential poet and literary theorist of the “Modernist” school of poetry. In Deadly Embrace merges the Modernists’ new techniques and styles with age-old themes: military prowess and wisdom, fitness to rule and comradeship, the camaraderie of the hunt and the cult of heroic masculinity. Groundbreaking and evocative, the poems paint vivid pictures of hunting scenes while posing deep questions about our attentiveness to the natural world and the relationship of the human to the nonhuman.

THE DIVINE NAMES

A Mystical Theology of the Names of God in the Qurʾan

Afif al-Din al-Tilimsani

Edited and Translated

by Yousef Casewit

A Sufi scholar’s philosophical interpretation of the names of God

The Divine Names is a philosophically sophisticated commentary on the names of God. Penned by the seventh-/thirteenth-century North African scholar and Sufi poet ʿAfīf al-Dīn al-Tilimsānī, The Divine Names expounds upon the one hundred and forty-six names of God that appear in the Qurʾan, including The AllMerciful, The Powerful, The First, and The Last. In his treatment of each divine name, al-Tilimsānī synthesizes and compares the views of three influential earlier authors, al-Bayhaqī, al-Ghazālī, and Ibn Barrajān.

Al-Tilimsānī famously described his two teachers Ibn al-ʿArabī and al-Qūnawī as a “philosophizing mystic” and a “mysticizing philosopher,” respectively. Picking up their mantle, al-Tilimsānī merges mysticism and philosophy, combining the tenets of Akbari Sufism with the technical language of Aristotelian, Neoplatonic, and Avicennan philosophy as he explains his logic in a rigorous and concise way. Unlike Ibn al-ʿArabī, his overarching concern is not to examine the names as correspondences between God and creation, but to demonstrate how the names overlap at every level of cosmic existence. The Divine Names shows how a broad range of competing theological and philosophical interpretations can all contain elements of the truth.

AFIF AL-DIN AL-TILIMSANI was a North African scholar and Sufi poet who studied under the influential Andalusian mystic Ibn al-ʿArabī. He is the author of several commentaries, the most important of which is The Divine Names.

But the context of terrorism and national security concerns charge the question of Arab and Muslim “otherness” in unique ways. Broken helps us articulate the racialization of 'otherness' and nonbelonging in new and important ways." —Natalia Molina, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Best Scholarly Books of 2022

EARL OFARI HUTCHINSON has been a lifelong fighter in the movement for Black Lives. When Earl Ofari wrote The Myth of Black Capitalism, he was just twenty-three, married, and held a degree in psychology from California State College in L.A., where he was active in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and instrumental in setting up one of North America’s first Black student unions. At the time, he had been already published in such publications as The Guardian and Los Angeles Free Press, and had crafted pamphlets for the Radical Education Project.

THE MYTH OF BLACK CAPITALISM

New Edition

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

Deciphers the history of “Black capitalist” rhetoric— and how it serves to enrich a minuscule few at the expense of the many

In his 1970 book The Myth of Black Capitalism, Earl Ofari Hutchinson laid out a rigorous challenge to the presumption that capitalism, in any shape or form, has the potential to rectify the stark injustices endured by Black people in America. Ofari engaged in a diligent historical review of the participation of African Americans in commercial activity in this capitalist country, demonstrating conclusively that the creation of a class of Black capitalists failed to ameliorate the extreme inequity faced by African Americans. Even “Buy Black” campaigns which aimed to “keep resources in the community,” he showed, reinforced a Black bourgeoisie which often enough exploited the Black underclass to increase their own wealth.

In this second edition of Earl Ofari’s pathbreaking book, a Monthly Review Press classic, the author adds a new Introduction which shows both the enduring strength of the ideology of Black capitalism and its continued inability to change the nature of what has always been a racialized system of production and distribution. Ofari reveals “Black capitalism"" for what it really is: a diversion from the struggle for liberation that works at cross purposes with the fight against exploitation, and a fantasy which enriches a minuscule few at the expense of the many. The Myth of Black Capitalism argues definitively that only a direct assault on the oppression of Black people and the capitalist system itself can bring this exploitation to an end.

POLITICAL SCIENCE

THE PROSECUTION OF PROFESSOR CHANDLER DAVIS

McCarthyism, Communism, and the Myth of Academic Freedom

Steve Batterson

Exposes the destruction of academic careers— and the complicity of educational institutions— in McCarthy's America

The Prosecution of Professor Chandler Davis tells the true tale of a mathematician who found himself taking an involuntary break from chalking equations to sit opposite a row of self-righteous anti-Communist congressmen at the height of the McCarthy era. Courageously asserting the First Amendment to confront a system rapidly descending into fascism, Davis testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). He became one of a small number of left wingers who served time for contempt of Congress.

Steve Batterson takes a deep dive into extant archival records generated by the FBI, HUAC, the University of Michigan, and repositories holding the papers of former Supreme Court justices. He examines the plights of six faculty and graduate students—including three future members of the National Academy of Sciences— whose careers were disrupted by the anticommunist actions of a wide range of personnel at the University of Michigan. In the process, Batterson exposes the ways that McCarthy’s righteous emissaries relied on all kinds of institutions in 1950s America—from Hollywood studios to universities—to sabotage the careers of anyone with a trace of “Red.”

STEVE BATTERSON is professor emeritus of mathematics and computer science at Emory University. He received his Ph.D. in mathematics from Northwestern University in 1976, and soon embarked upon research at Emory, the Institute for Advanced Study, Boston University, and the University of California at Berkeley. In the 1990s he wrote a biography of the Fields Medal winner Stephen Smale, followed by two books and several articles on the history of mathematics.

A NEW GLOBAL GEOMETRY?

Socialist Register 2024

Edited by Greg Albo

Scrutinizes possibilities for an equalised global order, in light of recent conflicts between the world’s major powers

The “post-Cold War era is definitively over,” asserted US President Joe Biden as he launched the new National Security Strategy. American leadership, the document declared, would be more necessary than ever to define "the future of the international order,” insisting that the US must marshal its unparalleled economic, military, and diplomatic resources to confront its geopolitical rivals. Socialist Register 2024: A New Global Geometry? takes stock of momentous changes on the horizon: Even if these geopolitical shifts do not spell the end of globalization, how might they alter its historical trajectory?

GREG ALBO is a professor in the Department of Political Science at York University, Toronto.

UNTIL WE FALL Long Distance Life on the Left

Helena Sheehan

Offers vivid first-hand accounts of encounters with fellow socialists following the fall of the Soviet Union

Most westerners glimpsed the breakup of the Soviet Union at a great distance, through a highly distorted lens which equated the expansion of capitalism with the rise of global democracy. But there were those, like Helena Sheehan, who watched more keenly and saw a world turning upside down. In her new autobiographical history from below, Until We Fall, Sheehan shares what she witnessed first-hand and close-up, as hopes were raised by glasnost and perestroika, only to be swept away in the bitter and brutal counterrevolutions that followed.

COMMUNE OR NOTHING!

Venezuela’s Communal Movement and its Socialist Project

Chris Gilbert

A front-row seat to Venezuela’s most innovative socialist project, with important lessons for movements worldwide

Commune or Nothing! Venezuela's Communal Movement and Its Socialist Project opens a window on one of the most ambitious revolutionary projects of our time, as it took shape in a country suffering the cruel consequences of US imperialism. In recent years, repeated coup attempts and U.S. sanctions, combined with falling oil prices, have plunged Venezuela into a series of severe shortages leading to malnutrition, sickness, death, and mass migration. Still, as author

Chris Gilbert shows, the Venezuelan people have not been passive in the face of these attacks. Resisting the pressures of capitalism, a significant segment of the population persists in building socialism with the commune as “its basic cell.”

Titled after the battle cry of this heroic movement, “¡Comuna o Nada!,”  Commune or Nothing! portrays an expanding network of communes pursuing the strategic goal of—not only overcoming the entire capitalist economy—but transcending the state formations upon which the capital system relies. The communal project in Venezuela has proven the viability of its model of all-round human emancipation as an alternative to the increasingly exploitative, destructive, and unsustainable capital system. For this reason,  Commune or Nothing!, like the trailblazing movement it depicts, offers important lessons not only regarding the construction of socialism in Venezuela, but for socialist praxis worldwide.

CHRIS GILBERT is a Professor of Political Studies at the Universidad Bolivariana de Venezuela and creator of Escuela de Cuadros, a Marxist educational television program and podcast. Gilbert is co-author of Venezuela, the Present as Struggle and the Resistencia Comunal book series.

POLITICAL SCIENCE

LUCY R. LIPPARD is a contemporary art historian, curator, writer, and activist. As a critic, Lippard is best known for her study of conceptual art in Six Years: The Dematerialization of the Art Object from 1966 to 1972 and for her writing on feminist art and politically engaged art. She has published more than twenty books, organized some fifty exhibitions, authored numerous articles, and co-founded Heresies: A Journal of Art and Politics, as well as the artist's-book store, Printed Matter. She has helped form numerous political and cultural groups, including the Ad Hoc Women's Art Committee and the Art Workers Coalition. She played a key role in the development of Conceptual Art in New York in the 1960s and 1970s and in the Feminist Art movement. In more recent years she has focused her work on the landscape, culture, and art of the American Southwest, where she moved in the 1990s. Her many honors include the Women’s Caucus for Art Lifetime Achievement Award.

STUFF

Instead of a Memoir

Lucy R. Lippard

Colorfully written and illustrated memoir of the activist art writer Lucy Lippard

This bright and generously illustrated romp through Lippard's years with family, friends, art, and political projects unfolds at a breezy pace. Far beyond a tour of objects in her unpretentious New Mexico home, it is a deliciously fresh autobiography, rich in context and content, inhabited by the remarkable people she has known and loved.

Through anecdotal and often humorous memories, we follow the author through her childhood in New York, Louisiana, Virginia, and Maine, her thirty-five years in New York City, where she organized dozens of exhibitions, authored hundreds of articles, and cofounded Heresies: A Feminist Journal of Art and Politics, the artist's-book center Printed Matter, and activist artists group PAD/D.

Lippard touches on the roles she played in Conceptual Art and the Feminist Art movement in the 1960s through the 1980s. Her accounts of more recent years focus on the art, landscape, culture, and communities of the American Southwest, where she moved in the early 1990s. This “anti-memoir” also mentions Lippard’s twenty-five books, but few of her many honors.

LUCK

Margaret Randall

Fearless

personal essays from a treasured feminist poet and activist

Luck is a collection of essays covering such topics as memory, language, landscape, poetry, anger, sex, food, pandemics, war, violence, feminism, lies, imagination, death, power, identity, and of course luck. Some are full-blown explorations, others brief riffs. Some are prose poetry, others straightforward prose. The author combines scholarly research with personal experience, producing texts both intimate and illuminating. Always attentive to the world around her and the one within, Randall has brought us her most relevant and powerful essays to date.

The book is punctuated by 17 full-page, white-on-black drawings by artist Barbara Byers. The art was inspired by ancient Native petroglyphs and does not illustrate the essays.

“Margaret Randall has an uncanny ability to verbalize the pressing thoughts and questions that often elude us. . . . opening us to possibilities that we might otherwise never encounter, inviting us to come to our own conclusions. Partnering and paralleling Randall’s words are the powerful, evocative drawings of Barbara Byers, the two creating together a work summed up perfectly by the final words of Luck: ‘no metaphor… only untiring passion carrying creativity on its wings.’”

—Susan Sherman, founding editor of IKON Magazine and author of America’s Child

THAT'S A PRETTY THING TO CALL IT Prose

and Poetry by Artists Teaching in Carceral Institutions

Edited by Leigh Sugar

Frank, eye-opening writing by "arts in corrections" educators

Mass incarceration has been at the forefront of United States’ collective consciousness in recent years, and for good reason – this country incarcerates more citizens than any other country in the world, and the system works to maintain oppressive class and race hierarchies amongst its citizens and inhabitants.

This anthology features poetry and prose by artists, writers, and activists who’ve taught workshops in U.S. criminal legal institutions, including acclaimed writers Ellen Bass, Joshua Bennett, Jill McDounough, E. Ethelbert Miller, Idra Novey, Joy Priest, Paisley Rekdal, Christopher Soto, and Michael Torres; the late arts in corrections pioneers Buzz Alexander and Judith Tannenbaum; and Guggenheim Award-winning choreographer Pat Graney.

These educators demonstrate a diverse range of experiences. Among the questions they ask: Does our work support the continuation or deconstruction of a mass incarcerating society? What led me to teach in prison? How do I resist the “savior” or “helper” narrative? A book for anyone seeking to understand the prison industrial complex from a human perspective.

The author is donating all her royalties to Dances for Solidarity, a project that brings arts opportunities to people incarcerated in solitary confinement.

SKYSCRAPER SETTLEMENT

The Many Lives of Christodora House

Joyce Milambiling

The roles that Christodora House has played from 19th-century settlement house to its newest forms

Settlement house workers helped transform the lives of thousands of people despite lack of funding, the influenza epidemic of 1918, economic depressions, and two World Wars. Many of these houses still exist in the original neighborhoods where they confront the problems of today and advocate for their communities.

Christodora House, founded in 1897 as “The Young Women’s Settlement,” played an important role in the life of immigrants and other residents on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. For over 50 years, residents and volunteers at Christodora House provided classes, clubs, recreational activities, and medical and dental clinics for thousands of New Yorkers, and then continued to operate programs out of public housing and other locations for more than two decades.

The building at 143 Avenue B, now housing condominiums, has had a tumultuous history since 1948 but still stands, towering over its tenement neighborhood in the East Village. Christodora Inc. is now a nonprofit foundation with offices in Midtown Manhattan, whose staff works with underserved New Yorkers, including youth in the public school system, carrying on a long, distinguished history of service to the city and country.

JOYCE MILAMBILING is a writer and educator with a PhD in Applied Linguistics, who has enjoyed a long career teaching foreign language and ESL teachers in New York and Iowa. She is a seasoned traveler fascinated by the complexities of history and culture. A member of the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians and the New York Historical Society, her articles have appeared in Academe, English Teaching Forum, and Theory into Practice.

TOWARDS A PRAIRIE ATONEMENT

Trevor Herriot

Afterword by Norman Fleury

Argues for the cause of protecting native grasslands and reconciliation on the Great Plains JULY 15, 2023

Towards a Prairie Atonement addresses the question of our relationship with the land by enlisting the help of a Metis Elder and revisiting the history of one corner of the Great Plains.

This book's lyrical blend of personal narrative, prairie history, imagery, and argument begins with the cause of protecting native grasslands on community pastures. As the narrative unfolds, however, Trevor Herriot, the award-winning author of Grass, Sky, Song and River in a Dry Land, finds himself recruited into the work of reconciliation.

Facing his own responsibility as a descendent of settlers, he connects today's ecological disarray to the legacy of Metis dispossession and the loss of their community lands. With Indigenous and settler people alienated from one another and from the grassland itself, hope and courage are in short supply. This book offers both by proposing an atonement that could again bring people and prairie together.

"Herriot’s writing sweeps across the page with the same breadth of the prairie he loves....By book’s end, Towards a Prairie Atonement becomes an important call to action for increased prairie conservation and more communal land use."

PROTECTING THE PRAIRIES

Lorne Scott and the Politics of Conservation Andrea Olive

A history of land conservation and environmental politics in one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet

Grasslands are among the richest, most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet, and they are crucial in the fight against climate change. Unfortunately, since 1970 Canada has lost more than 40 percent of its grasslands, and less than 15 percent of Saskatchewan’s grasslands exist today. What remains are found alongside highways and ditches. The province has some of the highest CO2 and methane emissions per capita and virtually no environmental regulations. How did we allow the grasslands to become one of the most endangered ecosystems on Earth?

Much like Canada’s universal health care, Saskatchewan is also the birthplace of some of the first provincial and national conservation laws, and home to an unsung and unlikely champion for the environment: a farmer with a twelfth-grade education and a really old van…

In Protecting the Prairies, Andrea Olive provides a history of wildlife and land conservation in Saskatchewan told through the life story of environmentalist, naturalist, farmer, and former Minister of Environment and Resource Management Lorne Scott. This is a book that challenges and inspires us to be stewards of the environment in our own backyards and communities, and above all, to never be complacent when it comes to protecting the natural world.

ANDREA OLIVE is a professor of political science and geography at the University of Toronto, Mississauga. She is originally from Saskatchewan and still migrates there annually to spend time at her summer home in the Aspen Parklands.

KÔKOMINAWAK OTÂCIMOWINIWÂWA (OUR GRANDMOTHERS’ LIVES)

Edited by Freda Ahenakew and H.C. Wolfart

Provides insights into traditional Cree ways of life and the damage done by colonialism

This collection of reminiscences and personal stories tells us about the daily lives of Cree women over the past century: household chores, snaring rabbits, and picking berries, going to school, marriage, bearing and raising children. Seven Cree women share memories about their lives and the history of their people, and provide insights into the traditional teachings of a society where practical and spiritual matters are never far apart.

ERODING A WAY OF LIFE Neoliberalism and the Family Farm

Murray Knuttila

An analysis of how neoliberal policies have radically restructured farming in Western Canada

The establishment of a Western Canadian economy dominated by family farming was part of the government’s postConfederation nation building and industrial development strategy. During this era, Western family farms were established and promoted to serve as a market for Canadian industrial goods and a source of export cash crops, which both played essential roles in the national economy.

In Eroding a Way of Life, Murray Knutilla shows how decades of neoliberal policies, state austerity, deregulation, and privatization have fragmented agrarian communities across Western Canada, a process hastened by the advent of the capitalization of machinery and high-input industrial farming.

MURRAY KNUTTILA is Professor Emeritus at the University of Regina and Brock University. He is the author of several books, including That Man Partridge and Paying for Masculinity. He resides in Regina, Saskatchewan.

BLACK X Liberatory Thought in Azania

Tendayi Sithole

What does it mean to be Black in an anti-Black world?

In Black X: Liberatory Thought in Azania, Tendayi Sithole offers a compelling example of how to engage South Africa differently. Set in the Black point of view as a site of critical reflection, he confronts the question of colonial conquest, social cohesion, and justice. Since South Africa is a name given to the country by its conquerors, not by its indigenous inhabitants, for true liberation, a renaming needs to occur. The concept of Azania holds this emancipatory gesture.

TENDAYI SITHOLE is Professor in the Department of Political Sciences, University of South Africa and Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Pan-African Thought and Conversation, University of Johannesburg.

THESE POTATOES LOOK LIKE HUMANS

The Contested Future of Land, Home and Death in South Africa

Mbuso Nkosi

Uses the 1959 potato boycott in South Africa as a starting point for thinking about the meaning of land and ancestral connection to it

Nkosi argues that the violence against Black farmworkers was not only on the exploitation of cheap labor, but also an anxiety white farmers felt about their settler-colonial appropriation of land. Furthermore, the dispossession of Black people from their land cannot be overcome until there is a recognition of the dead and restless spirits of the land, and a spiritual return to home for Black people’s ancestors. Until such time, the cycles of violence will persist.

GOOD JEW, BAD JEW Racism, Anti-Semitism and the Assault on Meaning

Steven Friedman

Shows how the meaning of anti-Jewish language has been distorted to serve the Israeli state

Good Jew, Bad Jew is a critique by one of South Africa’s foremost political theorists of mainstream understandings of Jewishness. Steven Friedman offers a searing analysis of the weaponization of anti-Semitism in service of political objectives that support the Israeli state and global white supremacy. Looking specifically at the way in which language is used to shape identities, Friedman uses many examples to illustrate how antiSemitism and anti-Semites are increasingly defined as anything and anyone that opposes the interests and policies of the Israeli state.

The use of anti-racist language to defend racial domination distorts not only the meaning of what it is to be Jewish, but sheds light on how all dogmatic nationalisms function. Friedman uses India and South Africa as examples, but the analysis applies across the world too.

Good Jew, Bad Jew does not offer a simplistic binary understanding of Jewishness and the actions of the Israeli state and ideology. It is a detailed, deeply researched and critical work that will appeal to both specialists and general readers looking for a considered view on how language shapes belief systems and how the powerful forces of racism and nationalism – and their opponents – are being misrepresented.

STEVEN FRIEDMAN is Research Professor attached to the Department of Politics in the Humanities Faculty, University of Johannesburg. He is the author of Prisoners of the Past: South African democracy and the legacy of minority rule.

JUANIT

Chris Perez Howard

A novel of identity, belonging and the search for acceptance

Juanit tells the story of a girl of mixed ancestry who, after losing her mother at a young age, is uprooted from her home in Guam and moved to California in the 1960s. There she must navigate both sides of her identity. Confused and longing for acceptance, Juanit struggles to find genuine affection. A series of painful events lead her back to Guam, only to discover that she feels out of place there, too. Met with a new set of challenges, Juanit must grow up quickly. She enters adulthood seeking answers about her identity. She unearths a deeper purpose as she learns her island’s history.

“Among the most popular legends [in Guam] today are depictions of CHamoru experiences and core values during the Spanish period. These were the legend of Putan Dos Amantes, a story about two young CHamoru lovers who chose to die together rather than live in misery, and the story of Sirena, a young and beautiful girl who was transformed into a mermaid as a consequence of her mother's curse. These fictional stories portrayed the lives of a people at a given time in Guam's history. Chris Perez Howard's fictional portrayal of the life of a mestiza … presents a similar depiction, a story about the trial and tribulations and eventual acceptance of a young girl in modern Guam.”

— Antonio “Tony” Palomo, historian and former senator in the Guam Legislature

CHRIS PEREZ HOWARD is the author of Mariquita, the most widely read novel about the CHamoru experience during World War II on Guam. Chris is also a CHamoru rights activist and artist. He believes that his adventurous spirit and endless curiosity are responsible for his unconventional life.

A MARIANAS MOSAIC Signs and Shifts in Contemporary Island Life

Edited by Ajani Burrell and Kimberly Bunts-Anderson

A Marianas Mosaic: Signs and Shifts in Contemporary Island Life features authors in and of the Mariana Islands writing in voices that range from scholarly to poetic about the social, political, and cultural dynamics unfolding across the archipelago. This mosaic of perspectives touches on topics pertinent to contemporary island life including traditional healing, family trauma, sovereignty movements, local clothing brands, multimedia advocacy, spirituality, and more. This collection illuminates the complexity and beauty of the region and provides a deeper understanding of Marianas history and experiences.

“As we embarked on this project, we had two primary goals. One was to meaningfully contribute to the intellectual and cultural mosaic of the Marianas. The other was to do so in a comprehensive fashion. To accomplish the former, we reviewed the existing literature on the region to establish what gaps we might help to fill. While substantial literature on the Marianas exists, and seems to increase in volume every year, much of this literature does not utilize an academic or scholarly approach. Consequently, while this collection is not exclusively a scholarly endeavor, a significant number of the contributions are scholarly in form and approach. Moreover, existing literature that does examine aspects of contemporary life in the Marianas often suffers from a lack of accessibility, whether sequestered behind publisher paywalls or accessible only in physical archives. In compiling these works, we sought to make a broad collection of writings on the Marianas available—in one accessible place— to the people of the Marianas and beyond.”

CHAMORU LEGENDS A Gathering of Stories

CHamoru translations by Maria Ana

Tenorio Rivera

Illustrated retellings of tales from the indigenous people of Guam

CHamoru Legends retells 12 CHamoru legends and features personal reflections from author Teresita Lourdes Perez, unique illustrations of each legend by Guam artists, and versions of the legends in the CHamoru language by Maria Ana Tenorio Rivera. The book includes CHamoru classics like the story of the siblings who created the universe; the two lovers who were pushed to the edge of a cliff because their union was forbidden; and the tale of the son who leapt an island away to escape his jealous father.

CHamoru Legends is the 2020 Independent Publisher Book Awards Bronze Medal recipient for Best Regional Fiction for Australia/New Zealand/Pacific Rim. It is a reversible book featuring the legends in English on one side and in CHamoru on the other. Through multiple layers of interpretation, the book weaves together strips of wisdom and cultural lessons like the leaves used to shape the CHamoru guåfak, or mat, upon which the earliest CHamoru storytellers sat sharing their versions of these timeless tales.

TERESITA LOURDES PEREZ teaches English composition courses at the University of Guam and is the president of the Guambased writing organization, Ta Tuge' Mo'na.

ARCHAEOLOGY ISAW Monographs

The contributions in this volume revolve around a set of interconnected topics in the ancient sciences: medicine, astronomy, astrology, and divination. Several essays present unpublished textual sources or editions of new source material on divination (e.g., dream interpretation, personal astrology, and Sothis divination) and medicine (e.g., dermatology, gynecology, and apotropaic incantations). Other contributions provide new insights into known corpora or texts, such as the Assyro-Babylonian omens, the Hippocratic treatise Places in Man, GrecoEgyptian medical texts, and the vast astronomical corpus of Greco-Roman Egypt. The interdisciplinary milieu in which these essays were generated, under the aegis of the international Scientific Papyri from Ancient Egypt (SciPap) project, means that many of the studies embrace an explicitly and well-researched cross-cultural and comparative approach, revealing similarities in both certain conceptualizations of disease and healing, and astronomical literature and divinatory practice, across the Mediterranean and Near East.

This book will be of interest primarily to specialists in the history of medicine, science, divination, and magic, as well as to papyrologists, Egyptologists, and Assyriologists.
