Summary

A little-known yet critical part of NASA history

University of Florida Press 9781683402602 Pub Date: 5/24/2022 $35.00 Discount Code: Short Hardcover Paper over boards 392 Pages Technology & Engineering / Aeronautics & Astronautics TEC002000 9 in H | 6 in W | 0.9 in T | 2 lb Wt

Life in Space explores the many aspects and outcomes of NASA’s research in life sciences, a little-understood endeavor that has often been overlooked in histories of the space agency.

Maura Mackowski details NASA’s work in this field from spectacular promises made during the Reagan era to the major new directions set by George W. Bush’s Vision for Space Exploration in the early twenty-first century.

At the first flight of NASA’s space shuttle in 1981, hopes ran high for the shuttle program to achieve its potential of regularly transporting humans, cargo, and scientific experiments between Earth and the International Space Station. Mackowski describes different programs, projects, and policies initiated across NASA centers and headquarters in the following decades to advance research into human safety and habitation, plant and animal biology, and commercial biomaterials.

The astronaut crime that shocked the world Star Crossed transports readers to the moment the news broke that one of America’s heroes, an astronaut who had flown aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery just months before, had been arrested for a very bizarre crime.

Lisa Nowak had driven 900 miles from Houston to Orlando to intercept and confront her romantic rival in an airport parking lot—allegedly using diapers on the trip so she wouldn’t have to stop. Nowak had been dating astronaut William “Billy” Oefelein when she learned that Oefelein was seeing a new girlfriend—U.S. Air Force Captain Colleen Shipman. The “astronaut love triangle” scandal quickly made headlines. The world watched as Nowak was dismissed from NASA, pleaded guilty to a felony, and received an “other than honorable” military discharge.

An award-winning investigative reporter who covered Nowak’s criminal case, Kimberly Moore offers behind-the-scenes insights into Nowak’s childhood, her rigorous training, and her mission to space.

Contributor Bio Kimberly C. Moore is an award-winning investigative reporter based in central Florida who covered Lisa Nowak's criminal case for Florida Today.

Chocolate Crisis Climate Change and Other Threats to the Future of Cacao Dale Walters Rights Available: Translation, Audio, Film and Television Rights Unavailable: Audio (English Language) Contact Milo Brooks Rights@upress.ufl.edu

Summary Chocolate is the center of a massive global industry worth billions of dollars annually, yet its future in our modern world is currently under threat. In Chocolate Crisis, Dale Walters discusses the problems posed by plant diseases, pests, and climate change, looking at what these mean for the survival of the cacao tree.

University of Florida Press 9781683401674 Pub Date: 1/5/2021 $40.00 Discount Code: Short Hardcover Paper over boards 230 Pages Science / Natural History SCI100000 9 in H | 6 in W | 0.8 in T | 1.1 lb Wt

Walters takes readers to the origins of the cacao tree in the Amazon basin of South America, describing how ancient cultures used the beans produced by the plant, and follows the rise of chocolate as an international commodity over many centuries. He explains that most cacao is now grown on small family farms in Latin America, West Africa, and Indonesia, and that the crop is not easy to make a living from.

Providing an up-to-date picture of the state of the cacao bean today, this book also includes a look at complex issues such as farmer poverty and child labor, and examines options for sustainable production amid a changing climate. Walters shows that the industry must tackle these problems in order to save this global cultural staple and to protect the people who make their livelihoods from producing it.

Summary A Black dancer chronicles her career as a scholar writing the stories of global hip-hop and Black culture

Dancing the Afrofuture is the story of a dancer with a long career of artistry and activism who transitioned from performing Black dance to writing it into history as a Black studies scholar. Following the personal journey of her artistic development told in Dancing in Blackness, Halifu Osumare now reflects on how that first career-which began during the 1960s Black Arts Movement-has influenced her growth as an academic, tracing her teaching and research against a political and cultural backdrop that extends to the twenty-first century with Black Lives Matter and a potent speculative Afrofuture.

Osumare describes her decision to step away from full-time involvement in dance and community activism to earn a doctorate in American studies from the University of Hawai'i. She emulated the model of her mentor Katherine Dunham by studying and performing hula, and her research on hip-hop youth culture took her from Hawai‘i to Africa, Europe, and South America as a professor at the University of California, Davis. Throughout her scholarly career, Osumare has illuminated the resilience of African-descendant peoples through a focus on performance and the lens of Afrofuturism.

Contributor Bio Halifu Osumare is professor emerita of African American and African studies at the University of California, Davis. She has been a dancer, choreographer, educator, cultural activist, and scholar for over fifty years. Osumare is the author of the award-winning Dancing in Blackness: A Memoir.

Now a black studies scholar, Osumare uses her extraordinary experiences to reveal the overlooked ways that dance has been a vital tool in the black struggle for recognition, justice, and self-empowerment.

An African American art form, jazz dance has an inaccurate historical narrative that often sets EuroAmerican aesthetics and values at the inception of the jazz dance genealogy. The roots were systemically erased and remain widely marginalized and untaught, and the devaluation of its Africanist origins and lineage has largely gone unchallenged. Decolonizing contemporary jazz dance practice, this book examines the state of jazz dance theory, pedagogy, and choreography in the twenty-first century, recovering and affirming the lifeblood of jazz in Africanist aesthetics and Black American culture.

Rooted Jazz Dance brings together jazz dance scholars, practitioners, choreographers, and educators from across the United States and Canada with the goal of changing the course of practice in future generations. Contributors delve into the Africanist elements within jazz dance and discuss the role of Whiteness, including Eurocentric technique and ideology, in marginalizing African American vernacular dance, which has resulted in the prominence of Eurocentric jazz styles and the systemic erosion of the roots.

Inspiring, revealing, and deeply relatable, Being a Ballerina is a firsthand look at the realities of life as a professional ballet dancer. Through episodes from her own career, Gavin Larsen describes the forces that drive a person to study dance; the daily balance that dancers navigate between hardship and joy; and the dancer’s continual quest to discover who they are as a person and as an artist.

Starting with her arrival as a young beginner at a class too advanced for her, Larsen tells how the embarrassing mistake ended up helping her learn quickly and advance rapidly. In other stories of her early teachers, training, and auditions, she explains how she gradually came to understand and achieve what she and her body were capable of.

Larsen then re-creates scenes from her experiences in dance companies, from unglamorous roles to exhilarating performances.

Nicolai Serguéeff and "The Sleeping Beauty" explores the legacy of a former Russian imperial rehearsal director who fled postrevolutionary Russia with the most complete choreographic records of Marius Petipa's ballet masterpiece, set to music by Tchaikovsky and first performed in the late nineteenth century. This book traces the impact of this act of preservation on more than a century of Sleeping Beauty productions, examining the resilience of the ballet even as artists have adapted and reinterpreted its traditions to suit changing circumstances.

Through extensive archival research, Gupta provides insight into the nineteenth-century Russian ballet while also highlighting its living tradition and continued relevance. This book demonstrates how The Sleeping Beauty has evolved while maintaining its classical core, resulting in an essential case study for dancers, historians, and choreographers. It combines dance history, musicology, and performance studies to show how a ballet can be both timeless and ever-changing.

Bringing together dance and science, two paradigms that explore the nature and possibilities of the body, this volume illuminates the meanings and articulations of dance in nineteenth-century societies. This global collection of studies reveals how the two fields informed each other’s development and engaged with dominant European worldviews in a time of unprecedented colonial expansion.

The chapters in Dance and Science in the Long Nineteenth Century examine how trends and developments in the performing arts reflected scientific thinking of this era, including the categorization of “types” of bodies and the ranking of cultural and religious beliefs, as well as how dance served as an active site of inquiry where the workings and limits of the human body could be studied. Researchers discuss topics including the influence of plant biology on the aesthetics of ballet, technological advancements in the staging and recording of performances, arguments for the use of Eurhythmics in promoting a stronger “race,” and European fascination with Indian dance and yoga.

Moving through Life traces the journey of influential dancer, teacher, and choreographer Naomi Goldberg Haas. Sharing her lifelong love of movement, her experiences as a dancer with chronic health conditions, and accessible exercises from her work with dancers of all ages and abilities, Goldberg Haas encourages readers to integrate dance into their lives and to move with awareness, creativity, and joy.

Goldberg Haas describes her early years as an emerging dancer at the School of American Ballet and how she explored and reveled in many dance forms throughout her career. She takes readers from a focus on fundamentals such as balance, strength, and flexibility to a deeper understanding of dance as a transformational community practice. With a unique perspective informed by navigating a degenerative neuromuscular disease, Goldberg Haas conveys a positive message: dance is an opportunity for renewal and growth at all stages of life.

Alongside Goldberg Haas’s story, this book provides insights and step-by-step instructions from the MOVEMENT SPEAKS® curriculum developed by Goldberg Haas for her nonprofit Dances for a Variable Population, a program that brings dance to older adults in New York City.

In a memoir of personal struggle, resilience, and celebration, Goldberg Haas portrays many of the changes that can come with aging and embraces the empowering potential of dance. From childhood memories to moments of epiphany later in life, this account from a leading figure in the dance community shows how movement can enrich and improve the lives of everyone.

Relationships between mothers and daughters can often be complicated and fraught. Even in the best of circumstances, many of us may have grown up curious about the mothers of our friends—looking to them, learning from them (for better or for worse), and wondering what it would be like to be a part of their families.

Other People’s Mothers is a collection of interconnected, autobiographical essays that explore the relationship between a daughter, her mother, and the other mothers present in their lives. In this comingof-age memoir, Julie Marie Wade traces a nexus of female influences on her formative years in the ’80s and ’90s. Through words and actions, the women around her communicate powerful and often contradictory messages about class, religion, education, and morality, holding enormous power over Wade’s journey toward adulthood.

This book reveals a young woman in the late twentieth century grappling with gendered expectations, beauty and body ideals, and complex messages about who she is permitted—or destined—to become.

Summary In this book, the first to explore the role of disability in the writings of James Joyce, contributors approach the subject both on a figurative level, as a symbol or metaphor in Joyce’s work, and also as a physical reality for many of Joyce’s characters. Contributors examine the varying ways in which Joyce’s texts represent disability and the environmental conditions of his time that stigmatized, isolated, and othered individuals with disabilities.

University Press of Florida 9780813069135 Pub Date: 2/22/2022 $85.00 Discount Code: Short Hardcover Paper over boards 250 Pages Literary Criticism / European LIT004120 Series: The Florida James Joyce Series

The collection demonstrates the centrality of the body and embodiment in Joyce’s writings, from Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man to Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. Essays address Joyce’s engagement with paralysis, masculinity, childhood violence, trauma, disordered eating, blindness, nineteenth-century theories of degeneration, and the concept of “madness.”

Together, the essays offer examples of Joyce’s interest in the complexities of human existence and in challenging assumptions about bodily and mental norms. Complete with an introduction that summarizes key disability studies concepts and the current state of research on the subject in Joyce studies, this volume is a valuable resource for disability scholars interested in modernist literature and an ideal starting point for any Joycean new to the study of disability.

Summary Exploring how Ulysses imitates the human mind at work, connecting close readings to psychological theories of Joyce’s time

In this book, John Gordon uses historically oriented close readings to demonstrate that Ulysses is a book that mimics the workings of the human mind. Gordon highlights James Joyce’s exceptional ability to capture and represent lived experiences, showing how Joyce’s writings display the ways specific minds interact with their environments. Ulysses is portrayed here as having its own evolving consciousness.

Sensational Joyce is the first book on Joyce’s psychology to engage deeply with theorists beyond Freud, Jung, or Lacan. Gordon explains how Joyce used other psychological theories, like William James’s ideas on stimulus and response, Gestalt psychology, John Watson’s behaviorism, and trauma research. The book also includes discussions of phenomena considered experimental at the time, such as telepathy, telekinesis, precognition, and spiritualism. Gordon examines the characters of sensitive intellectual Stephen Dedalus and advertising professional Leopold Bloom, following the book’s centers of consciousness into the visionary, hallucinatory, and prophetic final chapters.

Guilt and Finnegans Wake From Original Sin to the Irredeemable Body Talia Abu Rights Available: Translation, Audio, Film and Television Contact Milo Brooks rights@upress.ufl.edu

Summary James Joyce’s last novel, Finnegans Wake, is notorious for its complex structure and considered by many to be unreadable. Approaching this complicated book with attention to the theme of guilt, an important concept that has been underexplored in studies of the Wake, Talia Abu presents a clear and thorough interpretation that helps illuminate the book for even the most novice Joyce readers.

University Press of Florida 9780813079288 Pub Date: 2/18/2025 $90.00 Discount Code: Short Hardcover Paper over boards 224 Pages Literary Criticism / Modern LIT024050 Series: The Florida James Joyce Series 9 in H | 6 in W

In Guilt and “Finnegans Wake,” Talia Abu examines how Joyce portrays the evolution of cultural beliefs about morality, from the concept of a moral code set in place by a transcendental authority to an embodied morality that originates in material existence. Through close readings of the novel, Abu demonstrates that Joyce engages with guilt as it relates to the Catholic doctrine of original sin, the institution of the marriage contract, the theories of Nietzsche, and the views of Freud—including Freud’s emphasis on the physical experience as the primary aspect of being.

Delving into Joyce’s representation of historical events while also analyzing Joyce’s wordplay and linguistic techniques and drawing from multiple disciplines to understand different conceptions of guilt, this book shows the importance of the theme to the form of Finnegans Wake and Joyce’s craft more broadly.

Pursuing the questions and ideas that Joyce raises about guilt and morality, Talia Abu makes a case for the enduring relevance of Joyce’s work today.

Contributor Bio Talia Abu is a lecturer at Tel Aviv University and at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

University Press of Florida 9780813069036 Pub Date: 10/12/2021 $90.00 Discount Code: Short Hardcover Paper over boards 322 Pages Literary Criticism / Medieval LIT011000 9 in H | 6 in W | 0.875 in T | 1.24 lb Wt

This volume brings together literary and musical compositions of medieval France, including the Occitanian region, identifying the use of voice in these works as a way of articulating gendered identities. The contributors to this volume argue that because medieval texts were often read or sung aloud, voice is central for understanding the performance, transmission, and reception of work from the period across a wide variety of genres.

These essays offer close readings of narrative and lyric poetry, chivalric romance, sermons, letters, political writing, motets, troubadour and trouvère lyric, crusade songs, love songs, and debate songs.

Through literary, musical, and historiographical analyses, contributors highlight the voicing of gendered perspectives, expressions of sexuality, and power dynamics. The volume includes feminist readings, investigations of masculinity, queer theory, and intersectional approaches. The contributors interpret literary or musical works by Chrétien de Troyes, Aimeric de Peguilhan, Hue de la Ferté, the Chastelain de Couci, Jacques de Vitry, Christine de Pizan, Anne de Graville, Alain Chartier, and Giovanni Boccaccio, among others.

Gender and Voice in Medieval French Literature and Song offers a valuable interdisciplinary approach and contributes to the history of women’s voices in the Middle Ages and Early Modern periods. It illuminates the critical role of voice in negotiating culture, celebrating and innovating traditions, advancing personal and political projects, and defining the literary and musical developments that shaped medieval France.

Summary In the late 1880s, many lives in northern and western maritime Alaska rested in the capable hands of Michael A. Healy (1839-1904), through his service to the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service. Captain Healy's dramatic feats in the far north were so widely reported that a New York newspaper once declared him the "most famous man in America." But Healy hid a secret that contributed to his legacy as a lonely, tragic figure.

In this charming volume, the wife, companion, and confidante of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, comes into full focus. Drawing upon Emma’s personal correspondence as well as the abundant literature about her husband, authors James Loy and Kent Loy reveal the fascinating story of an exceptional woman who remained true to herself despite hardship and who, in the process, humanized her work-obsessed husband and held her family together.

Informed by her strong Christian faith as well as her quick, inquiring mind, Emma learned to coexist with Darwin's radical scientific theories, though she worried about the fate of Charles's soul. Although the high spirits of her youth were somewhat dampened by the cares of life, she managed family and household affairs--including the difficult circumstances surrounding the death of three children--with courage, gravity, and a sense of humor.

Gertrude Stein and the Making of Jewish Modernism Amy Feinstein Rights Available: Translation, Audio, Film and Television

Summary Challenging the assumption that modernist writer Gertrude Stein seldom integrated her Jewish identity and heritage into her work, this book uncovers Stein’s constant and varied writing about Jewish topics throughout her career. Amy Feinstein argues that Judaism was central to Stein’s ideas about modernity, showing how Stein connects the modernist era to the Jewish experience.

University Press of Florida 9780813068756 Pub Date: 6/28/2022 $29.95 Discount Code: Trade Trade Paperback 296 Pages Literary Criticism / Jewish LIT004210 9 in H | 6 in W | 0.7 in T | 0.9 lb Wt

Combing through Stein’s scholastic writings, drafting notebooks, and literary works, Feinstein analyzes references to Judaism that have puzzled scholars. In Stein’s experimental “voices” poems, Feinstein identifies an explicitly Jewish vocabulary that expresses themes of marriage, nationalism, and Zionism.

She also shows how Wars I Have Seen, written in Vichy France during World War II, compares the experience of wartime occupation with the historic persecution of Jews.

Affirming the importance of Jewish identity and modernist style to Gertrude Stein’s legacy as a writer, this book radically changes the way we read and appreciate Stein’s work.

Summary A forgotten historical figure and his influence on the writing of James Joyce

In this book, Neil Davison argues that Albert Altman (1853-1903), a Dublin-based businessman and Irish nationalist, influenced James Joyce's creation of the character of Leopold Bloom, as well as Ulysses's broader themes surrounding race, nationalism, and empire. Using extensive archival research, Davison reveals parallels between the lives of Altman and Bloom, including how the experience of double marginalization-which Altman felt as both a Jew in Ireland and an Irishman in the British Empire-is a major idea explored in Joyce's work.

Altman, a successful salt and coal merchant, was involved in municipal politics over issues of Home Rule and labor, and frequently appeared in the press over the two decades of Joyce's youth. His prominence, Davison shows, made him a familiar name in the Home Rule circles with which Joyce and his father most identified. The book concludes by tracing the influence of Altman's career on the Dubliners story “Ivy Day in the Committee Room,” as well as throughout the whole of Ulysses. Through Altman’s biography, Davison recovers a forgotten life story that illuminates Irish and Jewish identity and culture in Joyce’s Dublin.

Shipwreck sites in intertidal zones—the parts of shorelines that are exposed at low tide and covered at high tide—are located within dynamic environments. Periodically uncovered and reburied, these stranded vessels are affected by surf and currents that accelerate the decay of their remains, and their materials are often salvaged. This volume presents 17 case studies from 9 countries on the management of intertidal shipwrecks and strategies for conservation, archaeological research, and public outreach focused on such sites.

These case studies explore topics such as legislation protecting shipwrecks along the Pacific coast of New Zealand, the ways wreck sites in Germany’s North Sea coastline are safeguarded and studied, local community participation in the preservation of shipwrecks along the Patagonian Atlantic coast, and the effects of climate change on sites along the Potomac River in Maryland. Pioneering intertidal resource managers discuss innovative strategies for preventing damage to ships and losses to local maritime heritage. The first volume to examine these sites at varying scales across the globe, Intertidal Shipwrecks is an important resource as climate impacts increase and the role of citizen science programs becomes more significant.

Melissa Baird pays special attention to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park and the Burrup Peninsula along the Pilbara Coast in Australia, the Altai Mountains of northwestern Mongolia, and Prince William Sound in Alaska. For many communities, landscapes such as these have long been associated with cultural identity and memories of important and difficult events, as well as with political struggles related to nation-state boundaries, sovereignty, and knowledge claims.

Drawing on the emerging field of critical heritage theory and the concept of "resource frontiers," Baird shows how these landscapes are sites of power and control and are increasingly used to promote development and extractive agendas. As a resul...

Summary Using textiles to understand gender and economy in Norse societies

University Press of Florida 9780813066622 Pub Date: 11/3/2020 $90.00 Discount Code: Short Hardcover Paper over boards 236 Pages Social Science / Anthropology SOC002010 Series: Cultural Heritage Studies 9 in H | 6 in W | 0.6 in T | 1.3 lb Wt

In The Valkyries’ Loom, Michèle Hayeur Smith examines Viking textiles as evidence of the little-known work of women in the Norse colonies that expanded from Scandinavia across the North Atlantic in the ninth century AD. While previous researchers have overlooked textiles as insignificant artifacts, Hayeur Smith is the first to use them to understand gender and economy in Norse societies of the North Atlantic.

This groundbreaking study is based on the author’s systematic comparative analysis of the vast textile collections in Iceland, Greenland, Denmark, Scotland, and the Faroe Islands, materials that are largely unknown even to archaeologists and span 1,000 years. Through these garments and fragments, Hayeur Smith provides new insights into how the women of these island nations influenced international trade by producing cloth (vaðmál); how they shaped the development of national identities by creating clothing; and how they helped their communities survive climate change by reengineering clothes during the Little Ice Age. She supplements her analysis by revealing societal attitudes about weaving through the poem “Darraðarljoð” from Njál’s Saga, in which the Valkyries—Óðin’s female warrior spirits—produce the cloth of history and decide the fates of men and nations.

This book explores the rich symbolism of the Codex Borgia, a masterpiece of Pre-Columbian art dating to the fifteenth century, one of the few surviving books from before the Spanish conquest of Mexico. Susan Milbrath uses information from the fields of art history, anthropology, ethnohistory, natural history, and cultural astronomy to show how the manuscript's intricate and colorful imagery conveys complex ideas related to Mesoamerican myths and religion.

Milbrath sets the work in historical context, establishing its provenance in the Puebla-Tlaxcala Valley of Central Mexico and pinpointing the date it was painted based on rain almanacs found in its pages. She offers a new interpretation of a unique narrative section that has long intrigued scholars, arguing that the ceremonial variations depicted in it are related to the solar cycle. Decoding the Codex Borgia is an illuminating journey into the culture and cosmology of the Aztecs and their neighboring communities.

Beginning several millennia ago, the Maya observed and calculated the solar year cycle and scheduled collective activities that integrated cities, towns, and villages over great distances. Their timekeeping approaches evolved from commemorative ceremonial architectural complexes starting around 1000 BCE to the formal public inscription of calendar jubilees on stone monuments, the use of calendar almanacs, written prophetic and historical accounts, and the customs of modern priest shamans.

Having lived for centuries isolated within Mexico’s largest remaining tropical rainforest, the Indigenous Lacandón Maya now live at the nexus of two worlds—ancient and modern. While previous research has focused on documenting Lacandón oral traditions and religious practices in order to preserve them, this book tells the story of how Lacandón families have adapted to the contemporary world while applying their ancestral knowledge to create an ecologically sustainable future.

Drawing on his 49 years of studying and learning from the Lacandón Maya, James Nations discusses how in the midst of external pressures such as technological changes, missionary influences, and logging ventures, Lacandón communities are building an economic system of agroforestry and ecotourism that produces income for their families while protecting biodiversity and cultural resources.

The story of the Lacandón Maya serves as a model for Indigenous-controlled environmental conservation, and it will inform anyone interested in supporting sustainable Indigenous futures.

Case studies from the United States, Tibet, Turkey, China, Nigeria, and Mexico provide examples of the ways age-related changes are influenced by environmental, genetic, sociocultural, and political-economic variables. Taken together, they help explain how the experience of aging varies across time and space.

These contributions from noted anthropological scholars examine evolutionary and biological understandings of human aging, the roles of elders in various societies, issues of gender and ageism, and the role of chronic illness and “successful aging” among older adults.

This volume highlights how an anthropology of aging can illustrate how older adults adapt to shifting life circumstances and environments, including changes to the ways in which individuals and families care for them. The research in Anthropological Perspectives on Aging can also help researchers, students, and practitioners reach across disciplines to address age discrimination and help improve health outcomes throughout the life course.

How did the Cuban sandwich become a symbol for a displaced people, win the hearts and bellies of America, and claim a spot on menus around the world? The odyssey of the Cubano begins with its hazy origins in the midnight cafés of Havana, from where it evolved into a dainty high-class hors d’oeuvre and eventually became a hearty street snack devoured by cigar factory workers. In The Cuban Sandwich, three devoted fans—Andrew Huse, Bárbara Cruz, and Jeff Houck—sort through improbable vintage recipes, sift gossip from Florida old-timers, and wade into the fearsome Tampa vs. Miami sandwich debate (is adding salami necessary or heresy?) to reveal the social history behind how this delicacy became a lunch-counter staple in the US and beyond.

The authors also interview artisans who’ve perfected the high arts of creating and combining expertly baked Cuban bread, sweet ham, savory roast pork, perfectly melted Swiss cheese, and tangy, crunchy pickles. Tips and expert insight for making Cuban sandwiches at home will have readers savoring the history behind each perfect bite.

Offering a fresh perspective on the Latin American climate crisis through the lens of natural history and its institutions, Imagining a New Natural History presents essays that analyze how books, artworks, and contemporary museum practices reconceive approaches to the discipline that cast humans and nature as separate entities. The creative works examined in this volume feature real and fictional archaeologists, museum curators, botanists, and taxidermists and explore subjects such as the catalog, the cabinet of curiosities, and the exhibition.

The contributors to this volume include leading scholars within Latin American studies and the environmental humanities, and the materials they study span diverse media, geographies, historical periods, and linguistic traditions, including Indigenous and Latinx cultural productions. They show how Latin American writers, artists, and critics provide a way of reckoning with the realities of climate change and the Anthropocene, as well as with the conceptual and aesthetic challenges that such realities pose to them. Through the perspectives of these artistic and literary practices, the natural history collections of anthropological museums, herbaria, and laboratories become explorations into the current climate predicament.

Summary The Silencing of Ruby McCollum refutes the carefully constructed public memory of one of the most famous biracial murders in American history.

On August 3, 1952, African American housewife Ruby McCollum drove to the office of Dr. C. LeRoy Adams, beloved white physician in the segregated small town of Live Oak, Florida. With her two young children in tow, McCollum calmly gunned down the doctor during (according to public sentiment) "an argument over a medical bill." Soon, a very different motive emerged, with McCollum alleging horrific mental and physical abuse at Adams's hand. In reaction to these allegations and an increasingly intrusive media presence, the town quickly cobbled together what would become the public facade of Adams's murder--a more "acceptable" motive for McCollum's actions. To ensure this would become the official version of events, McCollum's trial prosecutors voiced multiple objections during her testimony to limit what she was allowed to say.

Summary This book tells the story of Pete O’Neal, one of the most influential members of the Black Panther Party, who now lives in exile in Tanzania—unable to return to the United States but refusing to renounce his past.

Florida Book Awards, Silver Medal for General Nonfiction In the tumultuous year after Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, 29-year-old Pete O’Neal became inspired by reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X and founded the Kansas City branch of the Black Panther Party (BPP). The same year, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover declared the BPP was the “greatest threat to the internal security of the country.” Black Panther in Exile is the gripping story of O’Neal, one of the influential members of the movement, who now lives in Africa—unable to return to the United States but refusing to renounce his past.

Arrested in 1969 and convicted for transporting a shotgun across state lines, O’Neal was free on bail pending his appeal when Fred Hampton, chairman of the Illinois chapter of the BPP, was assassinated by the police. O’Neal and his wife fled the United States for Algiers. Eventually they settled in Tanzania, where the O’Neals continue the social justice work of the Panthers through community and agricultural programs.

Global Garveyism Ronald J. Stephens, Adam Ewing Rights Available: Translation, Audio, Film and Television Contact Milo Brooks rights@upress.ufl.edu

Summary Arguing that the accomplishments of Jamaican activist Marcus Garvey and his followers have been marginalized in narratives of the Black freedom struggle, this volume builds on decades of overlooked research to reveal the profound impact of Garvey’s post–World War I Black nationalist philosophy around the globe and across the twentieth century.

University Press of Florida 9780813080871 Pub Date: 10/15/2024 $28.00 Discount Code: Trade Trade Paperback 340 Pages Social Science / Black Studies (Global) SOC056000

These essays point to the breadth of Garveyism’s spread and its reception in communities across the African diaspora, examining the influence of Garvey’s Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) in Africa, Australia, North America, and the Caribbean. They highlight the underrecognized work of many Garveyite women and show how the UNIA played a key role in shaping labor unions, political organizations, churches, and schools. They trace the imprint of the movement on long-term developments such as decolonization in Africa and the Caribbean, the pan-Aboriginal fight for land rights in Australia, the civil rights and Black Power movements in the United States, and the radical pan-African movement.

Rejecting the idea that Garveyism was a brief and misguided phenomenon, this volume exposes its scope, significance, and endurance. Together, contributors assert that Garvey initiated the most important mass movement in the history of the African diaspora, and they urge readers to rethink the emergence of modern Black politics with Garveyism at the center.
