A critical examination of the character of technology and its impacts

not so fast

Thinking Twice about Technology Doug Hill

“It’s crucial—even as we sink ever deeper into our mediated world—that we pay attention to the technology engulfing us. This book helps draw the baseline that we’re leaving behind and perhaps will slow down the flight from reality.”—Bill McKibben “This book is the most comprehensive, provocative, and entertaining review of technological thought, expression, impact, and controversy that I have yet seen.”—Jerry Mander “Anyone interested in the future of the human project will benefit hugely from Doug Hill’s lucid performance.”—James Howard Kunstler

There’s a well-known story about an older fish who swims by two younger fish and asks, “How’s the water?” The younger fish are puzzled. “What’s water?” they ask.

Many of us today might ask a similar question: What’s technology? Technology defines the world we live in, yet we’re so immersed in it, so encompassed by it, that we mostly take it for granted. Seldom, if ever, do we stop to ask what technology is.

Failing to ask that question, we fail to perceive all the ways it might be shaping us.

Usually when we hear the word “technology,” we automatically think of digital devices and their myriad applications. As revolutionary as smartphones, online shopping, and social networks may seem, however, they fit into long-standing, deeply entrenched patterns of technological thought as well as practice. Generations of skeptics have questioned how well served we are by those patterns of thought and practice, even as generations of enthusiasts have promised that the latest innovations will deliver us, soon, to Paradise. We’re not there yet, but the cyber utopians of Silicon Valley keep telling us it’s right around the corner.

What is technology, and how is it shaping us? In search of answers to those crucial questions, Not So Fast draws on the insights of dozens of scholars and artists who have thought deeply about the meanings of machines. The book explores such dynamics as technological drift, technological momentum, technological disequilibrium, and technological autonomy to help us understand the interconnected, interwoven, and interdependent phenomena of our technological world. In the course of that exploration, Doug Hill poses penetrating questions of his own, among them: Do we have as much control over our machines as we think? And who can we rely on to guide the technological forces that will determine the future of the planet?

A body of work from one of the South’s most influential writers

a lillian smith reader

Edited by Margaret Rose Gladney and Lisa Hodgens

“The American people now confront a variety of difficult problems, many of which were thought to have been ‘solved’ decades ago: discrimination based on race, sexual identity, and economic or social status; seemingly unending, escalating wars and ‘rumors of war’; and episodes of unspeakable human brutality not only in the United States but throughout the world. Lillian Smith thought and wrote, often eloquently, about such problems. As this book demonstrates, much of what she had to say, beginning as early as the 1930s, is relevant to our contemporary problems. It also shows, however, that she was not just ‘a Southerner confronting the South’ but, equally, an American speaking to all of the American people about their past, present, and, no doubt, future problems.”—Anne C. Loveland, author of Lillian Smith: A Southerner Confronting the South “A Lillian Smith Reader offers the first comprehensive compilation of Smith’s large and diverse body of writing, including excerpts from her fiction along with selections that cover the full range of her gifts as a creative writer of nonfiction and social commentary. . . . This is a needed resource.”—Will Brantley, editor of the fiftiethanniversary edition of Lillian Smith’s Now Is the Time SEPTEMBER 6 x 9 | 360 pp.

4 | literature / political science

As a writer and forward-thinking social critic, Lillian Smith (1897–1966) was an astute chronicler of the twentieth-century American South and an early proponent of the civil rights movement. From her home on Old Screamer Mountain overlooking Clayton, Georgia, Smith wrote and spoke openly against racism, segregation, and Jim Crow laws long before the civil rights era.

Bringing together short stories, lectures, essays, op-ed pieces, interviews, and excerpts from her longer fiction and nonfiction, A Lillian Smith Reader offers the first comprehensive collection of her work and a compelling introduction to one of the South’s most important writers.

A conservatory-trained music teacher who left the profession to assume charge of her family’s girls’ camp in Rabun County, Georgia, Smith began her literary career writing for a journal that she coedited with her lifelong companion, Paula Snelling, successively titled Pseudopodia (1936), the North Georgia Review (1937–41), and South Today (1942–45). Known today for her controversial, best-selling novel, Strange Fruit (1944); her collection of autobiographical essays, Killers of the Dream (1949); and her lyrical documentary, Now Is the Time (1955), Smith was acclaimed and derided in equal measures as a southern white liberal who critiqued her culture’s economic, political, and religious institutions as dehumanizing for all: white and black, male and female, rich and poor. She was also a frequent and eloquent contributor to periodicals such as the Saturday Review, LIFE, the New Republic, the Nation, and the New York Times.

The influence of Smith’s oeuvre extends far beyond these publications. Her legacy rests on her sense of social justice, her articulation of racial and social inequities, and her challenges to the status quo. In their totality, her works propose a vision of justice and human understanding that we have yet to achieve.

A collaboration between two midcentury powerhouses

erskine caldwell, margaret bourke-white, and the popular front

Photojournalism in Russia Jay E. Caldwell

“Though Erksine Caldwell’s and Margaret BourkeWhite’s biographies provide respectively broader life summaries, Jay Caldwell’s work focuses exclusively upon the variations and complexities of their collaborative works. For readers seeking insight into how Caldwell’s and Bourke-White’s respective works were shaped by their daily experiences and associations, Erskine Caldwell, Margaret Bourke-White, and the Popular Front is ‘a must read!’”—Harvey L. Klevar, author of Erskine Caldwell: A Biography “A thoroughly researched and thoughtful investigation of the work and lives of two extraordinary, and underrecognized artists by an author with a unique insight into the material.

This book offers a fascinating and well-written window into both the personal and professional collaboration of both Caldwell and Bourke-White and the important work they did together.”

—Dan Miller, author of Erskine Caldwell: The Journey from Tobacco Road

Erskine Caldwell’s novels Tobacco Road (1932) and God’s Little Acre (1933) made the author a popular and critically acclaimed chronicler of the South but also a controversial one, due to his work’s political themes and depictions of sexuality. Margaret Bourke-White, fresh from her role as staff photographer for Fortune, became the first female photojournalist for LIFE in 1936, and her iconic images graced its covers and helped solidify the magazine as a preeminent visual periodical.

When Caldwell and Bourke-White married in 1939, they were both celebrities, popular and provocative in equal measures because of their leftist politics and their questioning of American cultural norms. They collaborated on the photodocumentary books You Have Seen Their Faces (1937), North of the Danube (1939), and Say, Is This the U.S.A. (1941). In the summer of 1941, the couple entered Russia on assignment and were there when the Germans invaded on June 22. As a result, Caldwell and Bourke-White were the first Americans to report on the Russian war front by broadcast radio and continued to transmit almost daily newspaper articles about the Russian reaction to the war. Their international celebrity and their clout within the Soviet literary establishment provided them remarkable access to people and places during their five-month stay. Their final collaboration, Russia at War (1942), is a culmination of their work during that time.

Erskine Caldwell, Margaret Bourke-White, and the Popular Front traces and analyzes the couple’s collaborations, the adventures that led to them, the evolving political stances that informed them, and the aftereffects and influences of their work on their careers and those of others. Both biographically revealing and analytically astute, author Jay Caldwell offers a profound, new perspective on two of America’s most renowned midcentury artists at the peaks of their careers.

jay e. caldwell, the son of Erskine Caldwell, received his PhD in English from the University of Arizona in 2014. Prior to that he had a thirty-year career in the private practice of sports medicine. Currently he is an independent scholar of literature and the medical director for the Center for Drug Problems in Anchorage, Alaska.

An in-depth, critical career retrospective of a founder of the American Society of Landscape Architects

warren h. manning

Landscape Architect and Environmental Planner Edited by Robin Karson, Jane Roy Brown, and Sarah Allaback Photographs by Carol Betsch Warren H. Manning’s (1860–1938) national practice comprised more than sixteen hundred landscape design and planning projects throughout North America, from small home grounds to estates, cemeteries, college campuses, parks and park systems, and new industrial towns. Manning approached his design and planning projects from an environmental perspective, conceptualizing projects as components of larger regional (in some cases, national) systems, a method that contrasted sharply with those of his stylistically oriented colleagues. In this regard, as in many others, Manning had been influenced by his years with the Olmsted firm, where the foundations of his resource-based approach to design were forged. Manning’s overlay map methods, later adopted by the renowned landscape architect Ian McHarg, provided the basis for computer mapping software in widespread use today.

One of the eleven founders of the American Society of Landscape Architects, Manning also ran one of the nation’s largest offices, where he trained several influential designers, including Fletcher Steele, A. D. Taylor, Charles Gillette, and Dan Kiley. After Manning’s death, his reputation slipped into obscurity. Contributors to the Warren H. Manning Research Project have worked more than a decade to assess current conditions of his built projects and to compile a richly illustrated compendium of site essays that illuminate the range, scope, and significance of Manning’s notable career with specially commissioned photographs by Carol Betsch.

Uncovering the unconventional forces that fought the Civil War

the ghosts of guerrilla memory How Civil War Bushwhackers Became Gunslingers in the American West Matthew Christopher Hulbert

“In this first book devoted entirely to Civil War memory and the guerrilla wars, Matthew Hulbert skillfully shows how popular impressions of Confederate guerrillas were exploited by both friends and enemies and for a variety of ends.

Especially intriguing are the ways in which Hulbert looks beyond the Civil War generation to probe the continuing legacy of guerrilla warfare in the twentieth century. This book makes a substantial contribution to the field of memory studies.”—Daniel E. Sutherland, author of A Savage Conflict: The Decisive Role of Guerrillas in the American Civil War

The Civil War tends to be remembered as a vast sequence of battles, with a turning point at Gettysburg and a culmination at Appomattox. But in the guerrilla theater, the conflict was a vast sequence of home invasions, local traumas, and social degeneration that did not necessarily end in 1865. This book chronicles the history of “guerrilla memory,” the collision of the Civil War memory “industry” with the somber realities of irregular warfare in the borderlands of Missouri and Kansas.

In the first accounting of its kind, Matthew Christopher Hulbert’s book analyzes the cultural politics behind how Americans have remembered, misremembered, and re-remembered guerrilla warfare in political rhetoric, historical scholarship, literature, and film and at reunions and on the stage. By probing how memories of the guerrilla war were intentionally designed, created, silenced, updated, and even destroyed, Hulbert ultimately reveals a continent-wide story in which Confederate bushwhackers—pariahs of the eastern struggle over slavery—were transformed into the vanguards of American imperialism in the West.

matthew christopher hulbert is a cultural and military historian of nineteenth-century America and coeditor of The Civil War Guerrilla: Unfolding the Black Flag in History, Memory, and Myth.

“This superb book brilliantly traces the meaning and memory of Civil War guerrillas and guerrilla warfare—from the theaters of the war into the postwar American West, and from the violence of Reconstruction into our own time. This is a major contribution to our understanding of violence in American culture.”

Music of the American South A copublication with the University of Georgia Music Business School

8 | memoir / music history

Originally published in 1991, Rodger Lyle Brown’s Party Out of Bounds is a cult classic that offers an insider’s look at the underground rock music culture that sprang from a lazy Georgia college town. Brown uses half-remembered stories, local anecdotes, and legendary lore to chronicle the 1970s and 1980s and the spawning of Athens bands such as the B-52’s, Pylon, and R.E.M. Their creative momentum helped to usher in a new wave of music on a national and international level, putting Athens, Georgia, on the map.

Brown takes the reader on a heady, keg-beer-fueled romp from the South’s dirty back roads and all-night porch parties to the precipice of rock superstardom. This twenty-fifth-anniversary edition includes new and rarely seen photographs by locals on the scene; a foreword by Charles Aaron, former longtime editor and writer at SPIN magazine; and an afterword by producer/engineer and musician David Barbe, drawn from an essay originally published in the Oxford American’s 2015 music issue.

rodger lyle brown lived in Athens from 1977 to 1987. He has

worked as an editorial director for Playboy.com and Britannica.com, contributed to publications such as the New York Times and the Village Voice, and is the author of Ghost Dancing on the Cracker Circuit: The Culture of Festivals in the American South.

An Unprecedented Life in Country Music Bill Anderson with Peter Cooper

“Bill has written so many wonderful songs and is a major force in country music, not only as a writer but as an entertainer, a singer, and a host.

It would be impossible really to measure his worth in this industry, but it’s BIG! I also love and respect him as a gentle and wonderful human being. Though he speaks softly, he carries a big stick and is a wise and effective businessman.”

—Dolly Parton “Very few songwriters or artists will be prolific or talented enough to enjoy two or maybe three decades of success. Bill Anderson is going on seven. His words and melodies are part of the very foundation upon which country music is built. What an amazing life and career. I’m so glad he chose to pick up his hammer and chisel . . . excuse me . . . pen and paper (things have changed since he first began) to write down his story for all of us fans and friends.”—Brad Paisley

Music of the American South Published in part through a generous gift from Gus Arrendale

Bill Anderson is one of the most successful songwriters, performers, and personalities in country music history.

A long-standing member of the weekly Grand Ole Opry radio program and stage performance in Nashville, he also discovered future Country Music Hall of Famer Connie Smith and wrote her first hits, toured with Johnny Cash, hosted his own television show, sang eighty charting singles and thirty-seven Top Ten country music hits, and wrote songs recorded by James Brown, Jerry Lee Lewis, the Louvin Brothers, Dean Martin, Aretha Franklin, and many more.

Anderson’s current and reinvigorated career is covered in this revision and expansion of his 1989 autobiography. Over the past twenty years, he has won two Country Music Association Song of the Year prizes, been nominated for GRAMMY awards, won the Academy of Country Music’s Song of the Year distinction, and had works recorded by superstars Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Alison Krauss, George Strait, Vince Gill, Elvis Costello, and many more. In 2001, he entered the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Whisperin’ Bill: An Unprecedented Life in Country Music presents a portrait of a long-gone Nashville and introduces readers to the famous and fascinating characters who helped build what is now known as country music. Richly illustrated with black-and-white photos of Anderson interacting with the superstars of American roots music, including such legends as Patsy Cline, Vince Gill, and Steve Wariner, this autobiography highlights Anderson’s trajectory in the business and his influence on the past, present, and future of this dynamic genre.

The first new guide of its kind in more than a decade

snakes of the eastern united states

Mike Dorcas and Whit Gibbons

“Snakes of the Eastern United States is extraordinarily informative about snake biology and impresses on the reader that snakes are an integral part of the natural world we share with them. This book will go far toward educating the public and encouraging everyone to respect these intriguing creatures.”

—Jim Fowler, Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom “I have always enjoyed learning about snakes and found this book to be the best source I have seen to continue doing so. Great job with awesome illustrations.”—Jeff Corwin, Animal Planet

More than sixty species of snakes are found in the eastern United States, the region of highest biodiversity of all reptiles and amphibians in North America. In this brand new guide, stunning photographs, colorful geographic range maps, and comprehensive written accounts provide essential information about each species—including detailed identification characteristics, general ecology and behavior, and conservation status. Carefully researched and written by two expert herpetologists, the guide is directed toward a general audience interested in natural history.

Additional information supports the already fact-filled snake species profiles. A chapter on urban and suburban snake ecology focuses on species most commonly found in some of the country’s largest cities and residential settings. A chapter on snake conservation includes information on threats faced by native species in many regions of the eastern United States. Another chapter provides the latest updates on the status of invasive species of pythons and boa constrictors that have now become naturalized permanent residents in certain areas of the country. This is the most accessible and informative guide to snakes of the eastern United States available anywhere.

features: • More than 385 stunning color photographs • Colorful geographic range maps • Species accounts that cover identification, general ecology and behavior, and conservation status • Extra information on snakes in urban and suburban areas • Strong conservation message, with a focus on environmental threats to native species • Coverage of invasive snakes

Coming-of-age essays that examine the ways that life, art, and memory intersect

lost wax

Essays Jericho Parms

“Lost Wax by Jericho Parms is an ekphrastic and lyrical meditation on love, loss, language, family, and identity. . . . As much a travel memoir as a collection of essays, the book ultimately enacts an essayistic and valiant attempt at self-understanding. . . . Lost Wax is a book about fitting in everywhere and nowhere, about living in between parents, between identities, between relationships, landscapes, past, present, and future. It becomes, in the end, a stunning celebration of the liminal spaces in life.”

—Steven Church, author of One with the Tiger: On Savagery and Intimacy

For her collection Lost Wax, Jericho Parms borrows her title from a casting method used by sculptors. As such, these eighteen essays, centered on art and memory, offer an investigation into form and content and the language of innocence, experience, and loss. Four sections (each borrowing names from the sculptures of Degas, Bernini, and Rodin) frame a series of meditations that consider the boundaries of the discernible world and the extremes of the body and the self.

Here Parms draws heavily on memories of a Bronx upbringing in the 1980s and 1990s; explorations in Spain, Portugal, Ireland, and the American West; the struggle to comprehend race, love, family, madness, and nostalgia; and the unending influence of art, poetry, and music.

Written largely within the galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lost Wax is an inquiry into the ways we curate memory and human experience despite the limits of observation and language. In these essays, Parms exhibits and examines her greatest obsessions: how to describe the surface of marble or bronze; how to embrace the necessary complexities of identity, stillness and movement, life and death—how to be young and alive.

jericho parms is the assistant director of the MFA writing program at Vermont College of Fine Arts and teaches at Champlain College. Her essays have appeared in Fourth Genre, the Normal School, Hotel Amerika, the American Literary Review, Brevity, and elsewhere.

“The essays in Jericho Parms’s Lost Wax read exquisitely as poems, each piece a lyrical moment resplendent with imagery. In a work punctuated by art and music, and tinged with drama and heartache, Parms retraces her steps through the family rooms of her youth, across the galleries of adulthood, to create a portrait of a cultured life borne out of curiosity and relentless wonder.”—Rigoberto González, author of Butterfly Boy: Memories of a Chicano Mariposa

How science leads us toward discoveries about the human condition

fire and stone

Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?

Priscilla Long

“Lucky for us, Priscilla Long fancied herself a thinker from a young age. In Fire and Stone, she displays a lifetime’s scintillating affair with science and with the arts and letters, on topics as varied as genomes and banjos and Neanderthals. Beyond autobiography, Long suggests ways we might discover who we are for ourselves. Her collection is an inspiration, dense with layers of invention and mystery and sparkling with her wise heart.”

—Sonya Lea, author of Wondering Who You Are: A Memoir “I have always thought of Priscilla Long as a science writer, one who explains the most fundamental and difficult processes of science in lucid and elegant prose. But Fire and Stone shows me that science is just one aspect of her exploration of the deepest questions related to her self and to our selves. She is finally a philosophical writer, one who employs science, history, autobiography, and her fine literary sensibility in an engaging search for meaning.”—Robert Wilson, editor of the American Scholar

The questions that drive Priscilla Long’s Fire and Stone are the questions asked by the painter Paul Gauguin in the title of his 1897 painting: Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? These questions look beyond everyday trivialities to ponder the essence of our origins.

Using her own story as a touchstone, Long explores our human roots and how they shape who we are today. Her personal history encompasses childhood as an identical twin on a dairy farm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland; the turmoil, social change, and music of the 1960s; the suicide of a sister; and a life in art in the Pacific Northwest. Here, memoir extends the threads of the writer’s individual and very personal life to science, to history, and to ancestors, both literary and genetic, back to the Neanderthals.

Long uses profoundly poetic personal essays to draw larger connections and to ask compelling questions about identity. Framed by four distinctive sections, Fire and Stone transcends genre and evolves into a sweeping elegy on what it means to be human.

priscilla long is a Seattle-based writer, writing teacher, and

editor. She is the author of Crossing Over: Poems, The Writer’s Portable Mentor: A Guide to Art, Craft, and the Writing Life, and Where the Sun Never Shines: A History of America’s Bloody Coal Industry.

Twenty-First-Century Essays by Women Edited by Marcia Aldrich

“Marcia Aldrich has done more than sample the bounty of brilliant women’s essays. Through Waveform, she stakes a claim for the significance of the essay in contemporary literature by focusing on women’s fusion of a singular voice, personal experience, and formal innovation.

Waveform should come with a warning label, though: these essays are so compelling you’ll be tempted to read heedlessly and breathlessly through the collection. But beware. This work is potent. Each essay delivers the blow of the wave as it breaks, exposing the hungry wave rider to the churn and danger beneath the swells.

A herald of a new field, fully realized, and a triumphant display of its power.”

—Leigh Gilmore, author of The Limits of Autobiography: Trauma and Testimony “Rich in unexpected detail, these essays refresh our sense of how women map the world.

Readers join writers on journeys of self-discovery that disconcert as well as reward.”

—Nancy K. Miller, author of Breathless: An American Girl in Paris

Waveform: Twenty-First-Century Essays by Women celebrates the role of women essayists in contemporary literature. Historically, women have been instrumental in moving the essay to center stage, and Waveform continues this rich tradition, further expanding the dynamic genre’s boundaries and testing its edges. With thirty essays by thirty distinguished and diverse women writers, this carefully constructed anthology incorporates works ranging from the traditional to the experimental.

Waveform champions the diversity of women’s approaches to the structure of the essay—today a site of invention and innovation, with experiments in collage, fragments, segmentation, braids, triptychs, and diptychs. Focused on these explorations of form, Waveform is not wed to a fixed theme or even to women’s experiences per se. It is not driven by subject matter but highlights the writers’ interaction with all manner of subject and circumstance through style, voice, tone, and structure.

This anthology presents some of the women who are shaping the essay today, mapping an ever-changing landscape. It is designed to place essays recently written by women such as Roxane Gay, Cheryl Strayed, Margo Jefferson, Jaquira Diaz, and Eula Biss into the hands of those who have been waiting patiently for something they could equally claim as their own.

The evolution of a literary icon

creating flannery o’connor Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers Daniel Moran

Flannery O’Connor may now be acknowledged as the “Great American Catholic Author,” but this was not always the case. With Creating Flannery O’Connor, Daniel Moran explains how O’Connor attained that status, and how she felt about it, by examining the development of her literary reputation from the perspectives of critics, publishers, agents, adapters for other media, and contemporary readers.

Moran tells the story of O’Connor’s evolving career and the shaping of her literary identity. Drawing from the Farrar, Straus & Giroux archives at the New York Public Library and O’Connor’s private correspondence, he also concentrates on the ways in which Robert Giroux worked tirelessly to promote O’Connor and change her image from that of a southern oddity to an American author exploring universal themes.

Moran traces the critical reception in print of each of O’Connor’s works, finding parallels between her original reviewers and today’s readers. He examines the ways in which O’Connor’s work was adapted for the stage and screen and how these adaptations fostered her reputation as an artist. He also analyzes how—on reader review sites such as Goodreads—her work is debated and discussed among “common readers” in ways very much as it was when Wise Blood was first published in 1952.

daniel moran is supervisor of social studies and media, East Brunswick, New Jersey, Public Schools. His work on G. K. Chesterton and John Ford has been published in a variety of teaching guides, including Poetry for Students, Short Stories for Students, and Drama for Students. He has taught English at Rutgers University and currently teaches history at Monmouth University.

Exploring the work of Georgia’s contemporary poets and photographers

inspired georgia

Edited by Judson Mitcham, Michael David Murphy, and Karen L. Paty Inspired Georgia is a unique collection of Georgia’s contemporary poets and photographers that engages the history and culture of the state, while serving as a document of some of the best and most powerful pieces penned by Georgia poets and images shot by Georgia photographers in recent years. Representing a wide range of styles, attitudes, and backgrounds, the poets either hail from Georgia or have spent a considerable amount of time in their adopted state. Chosen from previously published collections, representing various stages of the poets’ careers, these poems exemplify the great talent, insight, and creativity present in Georgia letters.

A geographically diverse representation of Georgia photographers is included, showcasing a wide range of talent well versed in making insightful and intimate images. The interweaving of photographs with poems (and poems with photographs) creates spaces of possibility, where what’s in the mind’s eye might (or might not) meet what’s found in front of the camera’s lens.

While complementary, the poems and photographs in Inspired Georgia are not in dialogue with each other—they echo, resonate, and reflect the places they inhabit. They pay homage to the ecology, terrain, and culture of Georgia, which in turn draws in, nurtures, and fuels the intellect of its many and varied artists.

judson mitcham is the poet laureate of the state of Georgia.

His poems have appeared in Harper’s, Poetry, and the Georgia Review. His novels, The Sweet Everlasting and Sabbath Creek (both Georgia), are both winners of the Townsend Prize for Fiction. He teaches writing at Mercer University.

michael david murphy is the program manager for Atlanta Celebrates Photography, a nonprofit arts organization Photo by Maryann Bates dedicated to the cultivation of the photographic arts and the enrichment of the Atlanta art community. karen l. paty is the executive director of the Georgia Council for the Arts, a

division of the Georgia Department of Economic Development that supports the arts industry in Georgia, preserves our cultural heritage, and creates increased access to high quality arts experiences. She has been working in the arts and community development for more than fifteen years.

Stories about grit, gratitude, and grace in Appalachian West Virginia

the current that carries Stories by Lisa Graley Winner of the Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction

“The Current That Carries is profoundly in touch with the ways the world can reveal transcendent grace through the simplest things, the humblest things, even in the quotidian clutter of modern life and culture. These are ravishingly beautiful stories. Lisa Graley is truly an important new writer. Flannery O’Connor would have loved her sensibility, would have loved this book.”—Robert Olen Butler, author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain “In this powerful and engaging debut collection, The Current That Carries, Lisa Graley writes knowingly and powerfully about the nature of family in the rural world of small towns as people struggle to take hard care of each other . . . and their animals. The stubborn hope living here is strongly reminiscent of the stories of Annie Proulx: all these lives at—or near—the end of the road reluctantly offering up their secrets.”—Ron Carlson, author of Return to Oakpine

This collection bristles and hums with the rugged resilience one encounters in southern and Appalachian fiction, where ghosts of loved ones and livestock alike haunt an underworld of lonely trails. Set in West Virginia, the stories take up residence with rural characters who defend their mailboxes against teenagers, bathe and feed their bedridden elders, and circle the inflated orbs of love and desire in high school gymnasiums. Whole lifetimes flare in an instant as characters scramble to sift through the past’s wreckage to find some small miracle in the present.

If there is nostalgia, it’s for a South without billboards, talk shows, and children with iPods dangling from their ears. It’s for a South where you can go pick a ripe tomato to slice for the mayonnaise on your sandwich because you found time to plant a garden. And if there’s grace, it is in the careful wading through a shifting current to reach possibilities snagged at the bottom of a trotline.

In lean, muscular prose, Lisa Graley pays homage to the daily chores that make up a lifetime. With delicate precision, she renders the boundaries, as thin as the blade of a shovel, between fear and courage, rejection and compassion.

lisa graley is an assistant professor of English and humanities at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and the author of the book of poetry Box of Blue Horses. She was awarded an ATLAS (Awards to Louisiana Artists and Scholars) sabbatical in 2009–10 by the Louisiana Board of Regents. Her stories have appeared in Glimmer Train, the Georgia Review, and the McNeese Review.

Stories about displacement and the search for shelter

the jungle around us Stories by Anne Raeff Winner of the Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction

“Anne Raeff’s exquisite stories are remarkable for their combination of intimacy and reverence for the mysteries and private griefs her characters fold their lives around.

Seldom have I read work so confident in the power of what’s left unspoken and in the deep eloquence of gesture. The Jungle around Us is a haunting and breathtakingly beautiful book.”—Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs to You “This collection is destined to become a classic. Raeff illuminates without insisting, employing a delicate touch on the weightiest truths. Her characters, heartbreakingly real, navigate the aftermath of the terrible wrench of World War II, displacements of many sorts, and set out on quests for both place and a peace that arises all too rarely— displaying their humanity throughout. Elegant, compassionate, and blessedly wise, these stories are not only unforgettable, they are important for capturing lives we do not yet know.”—Robin Black, author of Crash Course: Essays from Where Writing and Life Collide

“You’ll see how beautiful it is in the morning—jungle all around us,” says one of the characters in Anne Raeff’s story collection, referring to the way that the jungle that threatens can also provide solace. The jungle in these stories is both metaphorical and real, taking the reader from war-torn Europe to Bolivia and from suburban New Jersey to Vietnam. Raeff examines how war and violence, like the jungle, seep into our lives, even when we are no longer in danger and long after the war is over.

While struggling with fear, danger, and displacement, the characters of The Jungle around Us form strange and powerful bonds in distant and unlikely places.

A family that has escaped Vienna ends up on the edge of the Amazon, where the parents fight yellow fever and the daughter falls in love with a village boy. Two sisters learn lessons about race and war during the Columbia University riots of 1968. A young girl confronts death when her former babysitter is mysteriously murdered. In Paraguay, two adult sisters confront their loneliness while their precocious young charge faces off with a monkey. Raeff’s stories are about embracing the world though the world contains everything we fear.

anne raeff is a high school teacher at East Palo Alto Academy,

where she teaches English and history. Her stories and essays have appeared in the New England Review, ZYZZYVA, and Guernica, among others. Her first novel is Clara Mondschein’s Melancholia.

Poetry that pushes beyond the tragedies of loss to the wilder realms of renewal and meaning

sun & urn

Poems by Christopher Salerno Selected by Thomas Lux Christopher Salerno’s fourth collection of poems, Sun & Urn, is a book made from the wild stuff of grief and loss. Readers will find in these lyric poems a peculiar force pushing beyond the obvious. Sad, tender, whimsical, this book mines the poet’s personal journey through grief for a universal look at how we as human beings handle our greatest losses. Coursing through this work is the clarity of vulnerability. With an idiosyncratic and inquisitive lyricism, Sun & Urn examines, repositions, and makes art from the odd scraps left over after a father’s sudden death, from infertility and divorce, and from the hope of new love.

“If a poet ends a poem early in a book with, ‘And always a hellhound be,’ I keep reading. If, several poems later, a speaker is burning his deceased father’s toupee in the yard, I keep reading—harder, closer. Christopher Salerno’s Sun & Urn is a highly accomplished (he has learned his trade!), a madly imaginative, and, ultimately, a brilliant and deeply human book.

Read it, please, thrice!”—Thomas Lux

christopher salerno resides in Caldwell, New Jersey, where

he serves as associate professor in the creative writing and MFA programs at William Paterson University.

An explosive collection of poems that grapple with our current political moment

trébuchet

Poems by Danniel Schoonebeek Selected by Kevin Prufer

“A fierce talent and vision.”

—Maggie Nelson, author of The Argonauts “These poems live in that fierce place where the worlds of Paul Celan and Federico García Lorca intersect (and then burn). At once expansive, agile, and deadly serious, Schoonebeek writes with fugue-like sonic complexity and truly frightening political vision. This is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. A hot gold wire of rage burns through it.”—Kevin Prufer

Trébuchet is the much-anticipated follow-up to Danniel Schoonebeek’s debut book of poems, American Barricade, which was named one of 2014’s ten best books of poetry by Poets & Writers and hailed as a “groundbreaking first book that stands to influence its author’s generation” by Boston Review.

The poems in Trébuchet—which takes its name from the catapult used to break down walls and barriers during medieval wars—are at once combative and incendiary, tackling contemporary politics in a more direct, personal way than Schoonebeek ever has before. Addressing gun violence, poverty, fascism, surveillance, white privilege, the protest movement, censorship, American history, torture, and net neutrality, Schoonebeek’s writing is marked by a unique use of slang and jargon, manipulation of white space, and precise rhythm on the page. His poems have been praised by many critics for their momentum, obsession with weird language, and the precision of their enjambments and end-stopped lines.

Though American Barricade and Trébuchet speak to one another and map an evolving poetics, Schoonebeek’s second collection is a departure from the aesthetics and obsessions that defined his first, which was invested in the politics of family dynamics and the insistence in this country on obtaining power and wealth. If American Barricade was the book that wanted to kick open the door, Trébuchet is the book that wants to tear the door off its hinges.

danniel schoonebeek is the author of American Barricade and C’est la guerre and is a recipient of the Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Poetry fellowship from the Poetry Foundation. His work has appeared in the New Yorker, Poetry, Kenyon Review, and Tin House. He hosts the Hatchet Job reading series in Brooklyn and edits the PEN Poetry Series.

Some of Georgia’s earliest churches offer unique insights into the state’s past

historic rural churches of georgia

Sonny Seals and George S. Hart Foreword by President Jimmy Carter Introduction by John Thomas Scott

“Times are changing, both culturally and demographically, but many Georgians still have a strong—almost visceral—affection for the rural church. Sonny Seals and George S. Hart understand the charm and importance of the rural church.

With the assistance of an outstanding troupe of volunteer photographers, Seals and Hart have done a magnificent job in bringing to us a beautiful selection of rural churches in all their glory—or, as is sometimes the case, faded glory. Open, view, read, and enjoy.”—Dan Roper, editor, Georgia Backroads Magazine “The sight of an old church strikes a chord deep within us, as if the hymns and prayers that rose in them transformed the structures themselves into sanctums. Surely we have entered sacred ground with this rich and lovely book of photographs of Georgia’s historic rural churches. . . . In many ways this splendid book is a pilgrimage into the heart and soul of Georgia’s history and culture. It is deserving of a mighty mighty praise.”—Janisse Ray, author of Ecology of a Cracker Childhood and Drifting into Darien

Aspects of Georgia’s unique history can only be told through its extant rural churches. As the Georgia backcountry rapidly expanded in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the churches erected on this newly parceled land became the center of community life. These early structures ranged from primitive outbuildings to those with more elaborate designs and were often constructed with local, hand-hewn materials to serve the residents who lived nearby. From these rural communities sprang the villages, towns, counties, and cities that informed the way Georgia was organized and governed and that continue to influence the way we live today.

Historic Rural Churches of Georgia presents forty-seven early houses of worship from all areas of the state. Nearly three hundred stunning color photographs capture the simple elegance of these sanctuaries and their surrounding grounds and cemeteries. Of the historic churches that have survived, many are now in various states of distress and neglect and require restoration to ensure that they will continue to stand. This book is a project of the Historic Rural Churches of Georgia organization, whose mission is the preservation of historic rural churches across the state and the documentation of their history since their founding. If proper care is taken, these endangered and important landmarks can continue to represent the state’s earliest examples of rural sacred architecture and the communities and traditions they housed.

sonny seals and george s. hart, both of Atlanta, are the founders of Historic Rural Churches of Georgia, a nonprofit formed in 2013 with the purpose of researching and documenting some of Georgia’s most historic and architecturally significant rural churches. Historic Rural Churches of Georgia was Photos courtesy of the authors awarded the 2016 National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Historic Preservation Medal for the state of Georgia. www.hrcga.org john thomas scott is a professor of history and director of the Honors Program PhD at Mercer University.

A remarkably touching and humorous narrative about death in America

american afterlife

Encounters in the Customs of Mourning Kate Sweeney

“As radio reporter and producer Sweeney notes in this unsettling, compassionate volume on American mourning customs, death was once a ubiquitous part of American life; the Victorians raised mourning to an art form. . . . Her stories originate mostly in the South, but have universal relevance. Sweeney writes with a deft touch and with empathy for mourners, whose stories she relays with clarity and care.”

—Publishers Weekly “Respectfully illuminating both the ludicrousness and the significance of mourning and its accompanying memorialization rituals, Sweeney reports the unsavory details alongside the poignancy of grief and sorrow. Written with the grim wit and appreciation of investigative reporter Mary Roach, the author delivers informative history on the murky business of death. A considerate exploration of mourning, just haunting enough to attract those with a penchant for macabre oddities.”

—Kirkus Reviews

Someone dies. What happens next?

One family inters their matriarch’s ashes on the floor of the ocean. Another holds a memorial weenie roast each year at a green burial cemetery. An 1898 ad for embalming fluid promises, “You can make mummies with it!” while a leading contemporary burial vault is touted as impervious to the elements. A grieving mother, 150 years ago, might spend her days tending a garden at her daughter’s grave. Today, she might tend the roadside memorial she erected at the spot her daughter was killed. One mother wears a locket containing her daughter’s hair; the other, a necklace containing her ashes.

What happens after someone dies depends on our personal stories and on where those stories fall in a larger tale—that of death in America. It’s a powerful tale that we usually keep hidden from our everyday lives until we have to face it.

American Afterlife by Kate Sweeney reveals this world through a collective portrait of Americans past and present who find themselves personally involved with death: a klatch of obit writers in the desert, a funeral voyage on the Atlantic, a fourth-generation funeral director—even a midwestern museum that takes us back in time to meet our death-obsessed Victorian progenitors. Each story illuminates details in another until something larger is revealed: a landscape that feels at once strange and familiar, one that’s by turns odd, tragic, poignant, and sometimes even funny.

kate sweeney is a producer for NPR affiliate WABE 90.1 FM in Atlanta, Georgia. She has won five Edward R. Murrow awards and a number of Associated Press awards for her work.

A writer’s journey deep into the cruel country of bereavement

the cruel country Judith Ortiz Cofer

“Judith Ortiz Cofer has done it again: let us into her life and her heart, brilliantly. A must read for anyone who has lost a parent or straddled two cultures, The Cruel Country is a wise and generous memoir of exile, love, and homecoming.”—Joy Castro, author of Island of Bones “How do we deal with loss? What motivates us to reflect on transience? Judith Ortiz Cofer offers some answers in her marvelous disquisition on pain in this, her best book.”

—Ilan Stavans, author of On Borrowed Words and editor of The Norton Anthology of Latino Literature

“I am learning the alchemy of grief—how it must be carefully measured and doled out, inflicted—but I have not yet mastered this art,” writes Judith Ortiz Cofer in The Cruel Country. This richly textured, deeply moving, lyrical memoir centers on Cofer’s return to her native Puerto Rico after her mother has been diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer.

Cofer’s work has always drawn strength from her life’s contradictions and dualities, such as the necessities and demands of both English and Spanish, her travels between and within various mainland and island subcultures, and the challenges of being a Latina living in the U.S. South. Interlaced with these far-from-common tensions are dualities we all share: our lives as both sacred and profane, our negotiation of both child and adult roles, our desires to be the person who belongs and also the person who is different.

What we discover in The Cruel Country is how much Cofer has heretofore held back in her vivid and compelling writing. This journey to her mother’s deathbed has released her to tell the truth within the truth. She arrives at her mother’s bedside as a daughter overcome by grief, but she navigates this cruel country as a writer—an acute observer of detail, a relentless and insistent questioner.

“Henrietta Stanley Dull’s Southern Cooking, with recipes for cabbage gumbo and beef brain croquettes, tomato fez and log cabin salad, reveals a region on the brink of modernity. A new foreword by Damon Lee Fowler rewards curious cooks and students of southern culture alike with glimpses into the interior life of a woman who was born before Appomattox and witnessed the dawn of the civil rights movement.”—John T. Edge, author of Fried Chicken: An American Story “Many southerners will fondly remember Henrietta Dull’s Southern Cooking as the other sacred book in their childhood homes. I’ve long thought it is one of the most important southern cookbooks of the twentieth century.

This new edition of Mrs. Dull’s classic work should inspire a new generation of southern cooks.”—Nathalie Dupree, author of New Southern Cooking

No southern food enthusiast should be without this gathering of 1,300 flavorful recipes for such classic dishes as fried chicken, cornbread, pickled watermelon rinds, and sweet potato pie.

Southern Cooking had its origins in Henrietta Dull’s immensely popular cooking column in the Atlanta Journal, whose readers faithfully clipped its recipes. The demand for reprints of perennial favorites or early, hard-to-find dishes prompted Mrs. Dull to compile them into her now-famous book. Not only does it include individual recipes, but it also suggests menus for various occasions and holidays. Her famous Georgia Christmas Dinner, for instance, consists of grapefruit, roast turkey, dry stuffing, dry rice, turkey gravy, candied sweet potatoes, buttered green peas, cranberry jelly, celery hearts, hot biscuits, sweet butter, syllabub, and cake.

Mrs. Dull was one of the most sought-after caterers in Atlanta even before she began her newspaper column. Her vast, practical knowledge of food and its preparation, and her embrace of new, but never gimmicky, innovations in cooking served her readers well. Upon Mrs. Dull’s death in 1964 at the age of one hundred, the Atlanta Journal said that her book was “the standard by which regional cooks have been measured since 1928.” Southern Cooking is the starting place for anyone in search of authentic dishes done in the traditional style.

mrs. s. r. dull (1863–1964) was the longtime editor of the home

economics page of the Atlanta Journal. Her achievements during her one hundred years include organizing the first departments of home economics in Georgia schools and colleges, conducting cooking schools throughout the South, and promoting locally grown products throughout the country.

sabbath creek

dare say

Poems by Tod Marshall

A Novel by Judson Mitcham

Available again: A collection that evokes the poetry and profundity of art from the Washington State poet laureate

A coming of age story in the best tradition of southern fiction

Sabbath Creek is the story of Lewis Pope, a fourteen-year-old boy thrust into an adult world of heartache and brokenness. When his beautiful but distant mother takes him on an aimless journey through south Georgia, the cerebral and sensitive Lewis is forced to confront latent fears—scars left from the emotional abuse of an alcoholic father and the lack of comfort from a preoccupied mother—that crowd his interior world.

Sabbath Creek is more than a coming-of-age novel. And while Mitcham provides a nuanced look at the relationship between a white adolescent boy and a black old-timer his novel transcends the tired theme of race relations in the South. This compassionate, smart, powerful work of fiction touches the pulse of the human spirit. It travels from the ruined landscape of south Georgia and takes us all the way through the ruined landscape of a broken heart.

judson mitcham’s poems have appeared in Poetry, the Georgia Review, and Harper’s. His novels, The Sweet Everlasting and Sabbath Creek, are both winners of the Townsend Prize for Fiction.

He teaches writing at Mercer University.

“A transcendent coming-of-age story that feels unshackled to any particular time. Its sense of place, however, is pungently particular, infused with the surface languor and latent violence of the Deep South. . . . This spare, lovely novel, while generous in humor, is anchored by sorrow and interspersed with portents of tragedy.”—New York Times Book Review “Mitcham brings vividly to life the rural community of Sabbath Creek, and he handles the emotional and psychological complexities of this story with remarkable subtlety. He also has important things to say about the redemptive power of human kindness and friendship. A powerfully realized, deeply satisfying novel; enthusiastically recommended.”—Library Journal

Eschewing irony for direct statement, the poems in Tod Marshall’s 2002 debut collection imagistically, musically, and passionately articulate a faith in human transcendence. From the mud of our formation (“Choir”) to the dust of our dying (“After Kandinsky”), Marshall’s poems lyrically obsess over how the broken and violated can envision and speak a heaven of which we know.

tod marshall is the Washington State poet laureate for

2016–18. He teaches at Gonzaga University and is the author of Range of the Possible, a collection of interviews with contemporary poets. Marshall’s poetry, essays, interviews, and reviews are widely published.

“In Dare Say, Marshall announces something entirely unexpected yet dearly, dearly welcome: the future of modernism. In these poems, energies beloved by Cummings and Pound, masses deployed by Williams and Stevens, combine anew, refreshed by Marshall’s deeply intelligent care. Dare Say resounds as a clarion and challenge to all poets of the rising generation.”—Donald Revell “In Marshall’s brilliant first book, he dares the reader to see, hear, and claim the divinity available in the world. Here are poems as bound to the past as to the present, at home as much within the visual as the musical, instructed as much by Bach and Botticelli as by the convulsive beauty of Kandinsky. Rarely have I seen a debut of such range and mastery. I’m grateful for the vast humanity and intelligence of this book. Read it!”—Claudia Keelan AVAILABLE 5.5 x 8.5 | 72 pp. paper $18.95t/$28.50 cad | 978-0-8203-5053-0

teaching equality Black Schools in the Age of Jim Crow Adam Fairclough

In Teaching Equality, Adam Fairclough provides an overview of the enormous contributions made by African American teachers to the black freedom movement in the United States. Beginning with the close of the Civil War, when “the efforts of the slave regime to prevent black literacy meant that blacks . . . associated education with liberation,” Fairclough explores the development of educational ideals in the black community up through the years of the civil rights movement. He reveals the complicated lives of these educators who, in the face of a prejudice-based social order and a history of oppression, sustained and inspired the minds and hearts of generations of black Americans.

“An impressive sampling of primary and secondary sources that both scholars and general readers will find useful.”

—North Carolina Historical Review

with ballot and bayonet

The Political Socialization of American Civil War Soldiers Joseph Allan Frank In this groundbreaking study of what motivated soldiers to enlist and fight in this nation’s most bloody conflict, Joseph Allan Frank argues that politics was central to the development of the armies of the North and South: motivating soldiers, molding the organization, defining the qualifications of officers, shaping fighting styles, and framing the nature of relations between the army and society. His book relies on the letters and diaries of more than a thousand soldiers, with the author using social science categories for identifying politically aware soldiers and then defining and classifying the levels of political socialization.

“Frank has extensively researched soldiers and letters and his book is enlightening in many ways. . . . One finishes the book with a deeper understanding of how thoroughly the armies of North and South were steeped in political ideology.”

to have and to hold Slave Work and Family Life in Antebellum South Carolina Larry E. Hudson Jr.

Looking closely at both the slaves’ and masters’ worlds in low, middle, and upcountry South Carolina, Larry E. Hudson Jr. covers a wide range of economic and social topics related to the opportunities given to slaves to produce and trade their own food and other goods. Filled with details of slaves’ social values, family formation, work patterns, “internal economies,” and domestic production, To Have and to Hold is based on a wide variety of primary and secondary sources, emphasizing wherever possible the recollections of former slaves. Although their private world was never immune to intervention from the white world, Hudson demonstrates a relationship between the agricultural productivity of slaves, in family situations that range from simple to complex formations, and the accumulation of personal property and social status within slave communities.

“No reader will come away from this book without having reconsidered and reimagined much of the conventional scholarly wisdom surrounding the slave family. . . . Hudson merits praise for this provocative study.”—H-SHEAR

Twelve scholars representing a variety of academic fields contribute to this study of slavery in the French Caribbean colonies, which ranges historically from the 1770s to Haiti’s declaration of independent statehood in 1804. Including essays on the impact of colonial slavery on France, the United States, and the French West Indies, this collection focuses on the events, causes, and effects of violent slave rebellions that occurred in Saint-Domingue, Guadeloupe, and Martinique. Based on official records and public documents, historical research, literary works, and personal accounts, these essays present a detailed view of the lives of those who experienced this period of rebellion and change.

the signifying eye Seeing Faulkner’s Art Candace Waid

A bold book, built of close readings, striking in its range and depth, The Signifying Eye shows Faulkner’s art take shape in sweeping arcs of social, labor, and aesthetic history. This work delights in literacy as the oral meets the written and the abstract opens as a site to see narrative. Steeped in history, this book locates a heightened reality that goes beyond representation to bring Faulkner’s novels, stories, and drawings into visible form through Whistler, Beardsley, Gorky, and de Kooning. Visionary and revisionist, Waid has painted the proverbial big picture, changing the fundamental way that both the making of modernism and the avantgarde will be seen.

“With The Signifying Eye Waid will take her place among the most important of all Faulkner critics, and all of us will have to engage and reckon with her book.”

On the urban experience of America’s Jews

urban origins of american judaism

Deborah Dash Moore

“This fascinating study of urbanism and American Judaism offers an insightful portrait of the ways that the rhythms of city life shaped the religious practices of American Jews. Examining synagogues, city streets, and photographs, Deborah Dash Moore has changed our understanding of the evolution of American Judaism. Moore demonstrates brilliantly that the distinct features of American Judaism must be interpreted through the lens of urban experience.”—Beth S. Wenger, author of History Lessons: The Creation of American Jewish Heritage “While it is hardly news that U.S. Judaism has ‘urban origins,’ Moore rightly focuses on why it made a difference. . . . Recommended. For all readers.”

—Choice

The urban origins of American Judaism began with daily experiences of Jews, their responses to opportunities for social and physical mobility as well as constraints of discrimination and prejudice. Deborah Dash Moore explores Jewish participation in American cities and considers the implications of urban living for American Jews across three centuries. Looking at synagogues, streets, and snapshots, she contends that key features of American Judaism can be understood as an imaginative product grounded in urban potentials.

Jews signaled their collective urban presence through synagogue construction, which represented Judaism on the civic stage. Synagogues housed Judaism in action, its rituals, liturgies, and community, while simultaneously demonstrating how Jews Judaized other aspects of their collective life, including study, education, recreation, sociability, and politics. Synagogues expressed aesthetic aspirations and translated Jewish spiritual desires into brick and mortar. Their changing architecture reflects shifting values among American Jews.

Concentrations of Jews in cities also allowed for development of public religious practices that ranged from weekly shopping for the Sabbath to exuberant dancing in the streets with Torah scrolls on the holiday of Simhat Torah. Jewish engagement with city streets also reflected Jewish responses to Catholic religious practices that temporarily transformed streets into sacred spaces. This activity amplified an urban Jewish presence and provided vital contexts for synagogue life, as seen in the captivating photographs Moore analyzes.

“Moore efficiently recasts over three centuries of American Jewish history using the lenses of religious life, public venues and behavior, and iconic photographs to argue for urbanism as a defining facet of, and influence on, American Judaism.”

Playing, praying Americans and their complicated history

of gods and games

Religious Faith and Modern Sports William J. Baker That Americans take to sports with a spiritual fervor is no secret. Athletics has even been called a civil religion for how it permeates our daily lives as we chase our own dreams of glory or watch others compete. Few would deny our national devotion to sports; however, many would gloss over it as all of a piece. To do that, as William J. Baker shows us, is to miss the fascinating variety of experiences at the intersection of sports and religion—and the ramifications of such on a national citizenry defined, as Baker writes, “by the team they cheer on Saturday and the church they attend on Sunday.” With nods to modern and ancient history, Baker looks at the ever-changing relationship between faith and sports through vignettes about devout athletes, coaches, and journalists.

Of Gods and Games offers an accessible entrée into some of the larger issues embedded in American culture’s sports–religion connection. Baker first considers two Christian athletes who have engaged sports and religion on fundamentally different terms: Shelly Pennefather, one of the dominant women’s basketball players of the late 1980s, who left the sport for life as a cloistered nun; and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow, who has used his college and pro football careers as a platform for evangelizing. In discussing basketball coach Dean Smith (University of North Carolina) and football coaches Steve Spurrier (University of South Carolina) and Bill McCartney (University of Colorado) Baker looks at how each strove to honor faith amid sometimes complicated personal lives and ever-crushing professional demands. Finally, Baker looks at how faith inspired such sportswriters as Grantland Rice, who sprinkled his stories with religious allusions, and Watson Spoelstra, who struck a deal with God at his daughter’s deathbed (she recovered) and subsequently devoted his off-hours and retirement years to charity work.

william j. baker is a professor emeritus of history at the

University of Maine. His books include Playing with God: Religion and Modern Sport, If Christ Came to the Olympics, Jesse Owens: An American Life, and Sports in the Western World.

A new look at the diverse refugee experience in the South with insights relevant to current crises

driven from home

North Carolina’s Civil War Refugee Crisis David Silkenat Examining refugees of Civil War–era North Carolina, Driven from Home reveals the complexity and diversity of the war’s displaced populations and the inadequate responses of governmental and charitable organizations as refugees scrambled to secure the necessities of daily life. In North Carolina, writes David Silkenat, the relative security of the Piedmont and mountains drew proConfederate elements from across the region. Early in the war, Union invaders established strongholds on the coast, to which their sympathizers fled in droves.

Silkenat looks at five groups caught up in this floodtide of emigration: enslaved African Americans who fled to freedom; white Unionists; pro-Confederate whites—both slave owners (who often forced their slaves to migrate with them) and non–slave owners; and young women, often from more besieged areas of the South, who attended the state’s many boarding schools. From their varied experiences, a picture emerges of a humanitarian crisis driven by mobility, shaped by unprecedented economic pressures and disease vectors, and exacerbated by governments unwilling or unable to provide meaningful relief.

For anyone seeking context to current refugee crises, Driven from Home has much to say about the crushing administrative and logistical challenges of aid work, the illusory nature of such concepts as home fronts and battle lines, and the ongoing debate over links between relief and dependence.

david silkenat is a lecturer in the School of History, Classics, and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh. He is the author of Moments of Despair: Suicide, Divorce, and Debt in Civil War Era North Carolina.

How the unique circumstances of slavery in a border region played a role in Bleeding Kansas, the Civil War, and the settlement of the American West

slavery on the periphery

The Kansas-Missouri Border in the Antebellum and Civil War Eras Kristen Epps

Slavery on the Periphery focuses on nineteen counties on the Kansas-Missouri border, tracing slavery’s rise and fall from the earliest years of American settlement through the Civil War along this critical geographical, political, and social fault line. Kristen Epps explores slavery’s emergence from an upper South slaveholding culture and its development into a small-scale system characterized by slaves’ diverse forms of employment, close contact between slaves and slaveholders, a robust hiring market, and the prevalence of abroad marriages.

She demonstrates that space and place mattered to enslaved men and women most clearly because slave mobility provided a means of resistance to the strictures of daily life. Mobility was a medium for both negotiation and confrontation between slaves and slaveholders, and the ongoing political conflict between proslavery supporters and antislavery proponents opened new doors for such resistance. Slavery’s expansion on the Kansas-Missouri border was no mere intellectual debate within the halls of Congress. Its horrors had become a visible presence in a region so torn by bloody conflict that it captivated the nineteenthcentury American public.

Foregrounding African Americans’ place in the border narrative illustrates how slavery’s presence set the stage for the Civil War and emancipation here, as it did elsewhere in the United States.

sity of Central Arkansas. Her work has been published in the edited collection Bleeding Kansas, Bleeding Missouri: The Long Civil War on the Border.

New historical perspectives on what it means to be middle class in America

charleston and the emergence of middle-class culture in the revolutionary era Jennifer L. Goloboy

Too often, says Jennifer L. Goloboy, we equate being middle class with “niceness”—a set of values frozen in the antebellum period and centered on longterm economic and social progress and a close, nurturing family life. Goloboy’s case study of merchants in Charleston, South Carolina, looks to an earlier time to establish the roots of middle-class culture in America. She argues for a definition more applicable to the ruthless pursuit of profit in the early republic. To be middle class then was to be skilled at survival in the market economy.

What prompted cultural shifts in the early middle class, Goloboy shows, were market conditions. In Charleston, deference and restraint were the bywords of the colonial business climate, while rowdy ambition defined the post-Revolutionary era, which in turn gave way to institution building and professionalism in antebellum times. Goloboy’s research also supports a view of the Old South as neither precapitalist nor isolated from the rest of American culture, and it challenges the idea that post-Revolutionary Charleston was a port in decline by reminding us of a forgotten economic boom based on slave trading, cotton exporting, and trading as a neutral entity amid warring European states.

This fresh look at Charleston’s merchants lets us rethink the middle class in light of the new history of capitalism and its commitment to reintegrating the Old South into the world economy.

jennifer l. goloboy is an independent scholar based in Min-

neapolis, Minnesota, specializing in the history of the early American middle class. She is the editor of Industrial Revolution: People and Perspectives. Goloboy earned her PhD in the history of American civilization from Harvard University.

Indian interaction with Virginia colonists played a central role in the formation of modern Virginia

anglo-native virginia

Trade, Conversion, and Indian Slavery in the Old Dominion, 1646–1722 Kristalyn Marie Shefveland The 1646 Treaty of Peace with Necotowance in Virginia fundamentally changed relationships between Native Americans and the English settlers of Virginia.

Virginians were unique in their interaction with Native peoples in part because of their tributary system, a practice that became codified with the 1646 Treaty of Peace with the former Powhatan Confederacy. This book traces English establishment of tributary status for its Native allies and the phrasing and concept of foreign Indians for non-allied Natives.

Kristalyn Marie Shefveland examines Anglo-Indian interactions through the conception of Native tributaries to the Virginia colony, with particular emphasis on the colonial and tributary and foreign Native settlements of the Piedmont and southwestern Coastal Plain between 1646 and 1722. Shefveland contends that this region played a central role in the larger narrative of the colonial plantation South and of the Indian experience in the Southeast. The transformation of Virginia from fledgling colony on the outpost of empire to a frontier model of English society was influenced significantly by interactions between the colonizers and Natives.

Many of the powerful families that emerged to dominate Virginia’s history gained their start through Native trade and diplomacy in this transformative period, particularly through the Byrd family, whose members emerged as key figures in trade, slavery, diplomacy, and conversion. By the second half of the seventeenth century, the transformation of Virginia set forth political, economic, racial, and class distinctions that typified the state for the next three centuries.

kristalyn marie shefveland is an assistant professor of history at the University of Southern Indiana. She has been a contributing essayist to Virginia Women: Their Lives and Times (Georgia); The Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of the American Enlightenment; and Beyond Two Worlds: Critical Conversations on Language and Power in Native North America.

Rethinking the role and impact of the South on the national feminist movement

remapping second-wave feminism The Long Women’s Rights Movement in Louisiana, 1950–1997 Janet Allured

Scholars of second-wave feminism often center their research on northern thought and political activity and usually overlook the vibrant pockets of activism that existed elsewhere. In Remapping Second-Wave Feminism, Janet Allured attempts to reshape the national narrative by focusing on the grassroots women’s movement in the South, particularly in Louisiana.

This book delves into unexplored origins of the feminist movement. While acknowledging the ways that the fight for African American civil rights produced the women’s liberation movement in the South—and subsequently in the North— Allured also locates other wellsprings of the movement that were particularly important to southern change-seekers, especially preexisting women’s organizations such as the League of Women Voters, the YWCA, and liberal churches. For many southern feminists, being part of a faith tradition that emphasized social justice reform is what ultimately propelled them into working for gender equality. Allured highlights key figures in Louisiana; divisions based on regional, sexual, and ideological differences; access to abortion; lawsuits that had national implications that emanated from southern women; and the fight against sexual assault and domestic violence. Through detailed archival and oral history research, she has forged a new path, making this a foundational work for the field. Remapping Second-Wave Feminism will amend how we reflexively view feminism as a northern phenomenon, giving proper due to the southern contribution.

janet allured is a professor of history at McNeese State University, coeditor of Louisiana Women: Their Lives and Times, Volume I (Georgia) and coeditor of Louisiana Legacies: Readings in the History of the Pelican State.

The South as an important source and developer of black activism during the 1920s and 1930s

new negro politics in the jim crow south Claudrena N. Harold

This study details how the development and maturation of New Negro politics and thought were shaped not only by New York–based intellectuals and revolutionary transformations in Europe, but also by people, ideas, and organizations rooted in the South. Claudrena N. Harold probes into critical events and developments below the Mason-Dixon Line, sharpening our understanding of how many black activists— along with particular segments of the white American Left—arrived at their views on the politics of race, nationhood, and the capitalist political economy.

Focusing on Garveyites, A. Philip Randolph’s militant unionists, and black antiimperialist protest groups, among others, Harold argues that the South was a largely overlooked “incubator of black protest activity” between World War I and the Great Depression. The activity she uncovers had implications beyond the region and adds complexity to a historical moment in which black southerners provided exciting organizational models of grassroots labor activism, assisted in the revitalization of black nationalist politics, engaged in robust intellectual arguments on the future of the South, and challenged the governance of historically black colleges.

To uplift the race and by extension transform the world, New Negro southerners risked social isolation, ridicule, and even death. Their stories are reminders that black southerners played a crucial role not only in African Americans’ revolutionary quest for political empowerment, ontological clarity, and existential freedom but also in the global struggle to bring forth a more just and democratic world free from racial subjugation, dehumanizing labor practices, and colonial oppression.

claudrena n. harold is an associate professor of history at the University of Virginia. She is the author of The Rise and Fall of the Garvey Movement in the Urban South, 1918–1942 and coeditor, with Deborah E. McDowell and Juan Battle, of The Punitive Turn: New Approaches to Race and Incarceration.

Chicago as a case study of how World War II changed government-industry relationships

calculating property relations

Chicago’s Wartime Industrial Mobilization, 1940–1950 Robert Lewis Combining theories of calculation and property relations and using an array of archival sources, this book focuses on the building and decommissioning of stateowned defense factories in World War II–era Chicago. Robert Lewis’s rich trove of material—drawn from research on more than six hundred federally funded wartime industrial sites in metropolitan Chicago—supports three major conclusions. First, the relationship of the key institutions of the military-industrial complex was refashioned by their calculative actions on industrial property. The imperatives of war forced the federal state and the military to become involved in industrial matters in an entirely new manner. Second, federal and military investment in defense factories had an enormous effect on the industrial geography of metropolitan Chicago. The channeling of huge lumps of industrial capital into sprawling plants on the urban fringe had a decisive impact on the metropolitan geographies of manufacturing. Third, the success of industrial mobilization was made possible through the multiscale relations of national and locational interaction. National policy could only be realized by the placing of these relations at the local level.

Throughout, Lewis shows how the interests of developers, factory engineers, corporate executives, politicians, unions, and the working class were intimately bound up with industrial space. Offering a local perspective on a city permanently shaped by national events, this book provides a richer understanding of the dynamics of wartime mobilization, the calculative actions of political and business leaders, the social relations of property, the working of state-industry relations, and the making of industrial space.

robert lewis is a professor of geography at the University of Toronto. His books include Chicago Made: Factory Networks in the Industrial Metropolis; Manufacturing Suburbs: Building Work and Home on the Metropolitan Fringe; and Manufacturing Montreal: The Making of an Industrial Landscape, 1850 to 1930.

A ground-level view of Americans, Afghans, and the everyday messiness of aid and development work

the carpetbaggers of kabul and other american-afghan entanglements Intimate Development, Geopolitics, and the Currency of Gender and Grief Jennifer L. Fluri and Rachel Lehr

The 2001 invasion of Afghanistan by United States and coalition forces was followed by a flood of aid and development dollars and “experts” representing well over two thousand organizations—each with separate policy initiatives, geopolitical agendas, and socioeconomic interests. This book examines the everyday actions of people associated with this international effort, with a special emphasis on small players: individuals and groups who charted alternative paths outside the existing networks of aid and development. This focus highlights the complexities, complications, and contradictions at the intersection of the everyday and the geopolitical, showing how dominant geopolitical narratives influence daily life in places like Afghanistan—and what happens when the goals of aid workers or the needs of aid recipients do not fit the narrative.

Specifically, this book examines the use of gender, “need,” and grief as drivers for both common and exceptional responses to geopolitical interventions.

Throughout this work, Jennifer L. Fluri and Rachel Lehr describe intimate encounters at a microscale to complicate and dispute the ways in which Afghans and their country have been imagined, described, fetishized, politicized, vilified, and rescued. The authors identify the ways in which Afghan men and women have been narrowly categorized as perpetrators and victims, respectively. They discuss several projects to show how gender and grief became forms of currency that were exchanged for different social, economic, and political opportunities.

Such entanglements suggest the power and influence of the United States while illustrating the ways in which individuals and groups have attempted to chart alternative avenues of interaction, intervention, and interpretation.

jennifer l. fluri is an associate professor of geography at the University of Colorado, Boulder. rachel lehr is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Geography at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

How do gendered approaches affect the landscape of urban politics?

masculinities and markets

Raced and Gendered Urban Politics in Milwaukee Brenda Parker Studies of urban neoliberalism have been surprisingly inattentive to gender.

Brenda Parker begins to remedy this by looking at the effect of new urbanism, “creative class,” and welfare reform discourses on women in Milwaukee, a traditionally progressive city with a strong history of political organizing. Through a feminist partial political economy of place (FPEP) approach, Parker conducts an intersectional analysis of urban politics that simultaneously pays attention to a number of power relations. She argues that in the 1990s and 2000s, the city’s business-friendly agenda—although couched in uplifting rhetoric—strengthened existing hierarchies not only in class and race but also in gender.

Taking on municipal elites’ adoption of Richard Florida’s “creative class” thesis, for example, Parker looks at the group Young Professionals of Milwaukee, exposing the way that a “creative careers” focus advances fundamentally masculine values and interests. She concludes with a case study that shows how gender and race mattered in the design, enactment, and contestation of an uneven urban redevelopment project. At once a case study of the city and a theorization of urban neoliberalism, Masculinities and Markets highlights how urban politics and discourses in U.S cities have changed over the years.

brenda parker is an assistant professor in the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

New perspectives on urban inequalities surrounding social and spatial exclusion

in the public’s interest

Evictions, Citizenship, and Inequality in Contemporary Delhi Gautam Bhan This book studies the recent legacy of basti “evictions” in Delhi—mass clearings of some of the city’s poorest neighborhoods—as a way to understand how the urban poor are disenfranchised in the name of “public interest” and, in the case of Delhi, by the very courts meant to empower and protect them. Studying bastis, says Gautam Bhan, provokes six clear lines of inquiry applicable to studies of urbanism across the global south.

The first is the long-standing debate over urban informality and illegality: the debate’s impact on conceptions and practices of urban planning, the production of space, and the regulation of value. The second is a set of debates on “good governance,” read through their intersections with ideas of “planned development” within rapidly transforming cities. The third is the political field of urban citizenship and the possibilities of substantive rights and belonging in the city.

The fourth is resistance and the ability of a city’s subaltern residents to struggle against exclusion. The two remaining inquiries both cut across and unify the first four. One of these is the role of the judiciary and the relationships between law and urbanism in cities of the global south. The other is the relationship between democracy and inequality in the city.

What emerges about Delhi in particular is a multilayered double standard in attention to, and enforcement of, property laws. Rights are lost, citizenship is unequal and differentiated, the promise of development is refused, and poverty and inequality are reproduced and deepened. The task at hand, says Bhan, is not just to explain evictions but also to listen to what they are telling us about “the city that is as well as the city that can be.”

gautam bhan is a senior consultant for academics and research at the Indian Institute for Human Settlements. He is the coeditor of the forthcoming Routledge Companion to Planning in the Global South; coauthor (with Kalyani Menon-Sen) of Swept off the Map: Surviving Eviction and Resettlement in Delhi; and coeditor (with Arvind Narrain) of Because I Have a Voice: Queer Politics in India.

A fresh look at naturalism and the women who helped to define it

bitter tastes

Literary Naturalism and Early Cinema in American Women’s Writing Donna M. Campbell Challenging the conventional understandings of literary naturalism defined primarily through its male writers, Donna M. Campbell examines the ways in which American women writers wrote naturalistic fiction and redefined its principles for their own purposes. Bitter Tastes looks at examples from Edith Wharton, Kate Chopin, Willa Cather, Ellen Glasgow, and others and positions their work within the naturalistic canon that arose near the turn of the twentieth century.

Campbell further places these women writers in a broader context by tracing their relationship to early film, which, like naturalism, claimed the ability to represent elemental social truths through a documentary method. Women had a significant presence in early film and constituted 40 percent of scenario writers— in many cases they also served as directors and producers. Campbell explores the features of naturalism that assumed special prominence in women’s writing and early film and how the work of these early naturalists diverged from that of their male counterparts in important ways.

donna m. campbell is a professor of English at Washington

State University.
