EMBRACING CUBA BYRON MOTLEY
Stunning photographs from the once-forbidden island. “These beautiful photographs bring back many memories of Cuba—my people, my childhood, and so many beautiful moments that passed growing up in my beloved land.”—Yasiel Puig, Los Angeles Dodgers all-star outfielder “One can immediately look at Motley’s photographs and feel the spirit of the Cuban people.”—Gil Garcetti, PHOTOGRAPHY AVAILABLE NOW UNESCO-IHE cultural ambassador
“Words alone do not do Cuba justice. They depict only fragments of her mystery and beauty, her strength and fragility, her spirit and song.” —from the introduction
978-0-8130-6115-3 | Cloth $34.95 224 pp. | 10 x 8 | 180 color photos
Intrigued by tales of his parents’ long-ago journey to the pre-revolutionary “Pearl of the Antilles,” award-winning photographer Byron Motley traveled to Cuba more than a decade ago and instantly fell in love. Year after year he has returned with his camera to explore its vistas, its people, and its spirit. Forgoing the political imagery that has dominated American media, Motley highlights the many ways in which Cubans retain and nourish their zest for life despite the scarcity of every day. Through his vivid photographs, readers discover the real Cuba: its heart-stopping architecture and infectious music, its cars seemingly teleported from the past, its love of baseball so fierce as to be nearly religious, and the joy of community and the unexpected juxtapositions of life in the last bastion of communism in the Western world. Embracing Cuba showcases the very best images from the ten years Motley spent taking photographs throughout the island nation. He captures the allure, the mystique, and the vibrant essence of Cuba for those who have never visited, as well as those who will smile in recognition of beloved and familiar scenes. BYRON MOTLEY is coauthor of Ruling Over Monarchs, Giants, and Stars: True Tales of Breaking Barriers, Umpiring Baseball Legends, and Wild Adventures in the Negro Leagues. His photographs have been published in the Los Angeles Times, New York Daily News, Vanity Fair, and the Advocate.

“An in-depth look at a pivotal time in baseball history.”—Lou Hernández, author of Baseball’s Great Hispanic Pitchers “A must read for baseball enthusiasts. ”—Adrian Burgos Jr., author of Cuban Star: How One NegroLeague Owner Changed the Face of Baseball
Havana Hardball captures the excitement of the Cuban League’s greatest pennant race and the anticipation of the looming challenge to MLB’s color barrier. Illuminating one of the sport’s most pivotal seasons, veteran journalist César Brioso brings together a rich mix of worlds as the heyday of Latino baseball converged with one of the most socially meaningful events in U.S. history. CÉSAR BRIOSO is a digital producer and former baseball editor for USA TODAY Sports. In his 25 years as a sports journalist, he has written for the Miami Herald and the South Florida SunSentinel.
In Mission Control, Michael Johnson explores the famous Johnson Space Center in Houston, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, and the European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany—each a strategically designed micro-environment responsible for the operation of spacecraft and the safety of passengers. He explains the motivations behind the location of each center and their intricate design. He shows how the robotic spaceflight missions overseen in Pasadena and Darmstadt set these centers apart from Houston, and compares the tracking networks used for different types of spacecraft. Johnson argues that the type of spacecraft and the missions they controlled— not the nations they represented—defined how the centers developed, MICHAEL PETER JOHNSON is former director of the Skylab Oral History Project.

LAWRENCE SQUERI
“Perfect for inspiring dancers, who want to learn more about the art of partnering.”—Lauren Jonas, cofounder and artistic director, Diablo Ballet
“A fascinating perspective on humankind’s obsession for knowing if there is anyone else out there.”—Gerrit Verschuur, author of The Invisible Universe: The Story of Radio Astronomy
In 1984, Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) formed—a private, nonprofit research organization based in California hoping to locate extraterrestrials through radio telescopes. SETI has exhibited a certain religiosity—a yearning for superior beings to enlighten humanity and save it from its follies. Rather than dismissing their work due to this religiosity, Squeri offers the first cultural history of SETI from its ad-hoc beginnings to the present day. Squeri places the millennial aspirations of the search into historical context and defines the organization as a non-traditional political movement generated by Cold War anxieties, offering a better understanding of SETI’s futurist perspective. LAWRENCE SQUERI, professor emeritus of history at East Stroudsburg University, is author of Better in the Poconos: The Story of Pennsylvania’s Vacationland.

DRUG TRAFFICKING, ORGANIZED CRIME, AND VIOLENCE IN THE AMERICAS TODAY
EMBRACING PROTESTANTISM Black Identities in the Atlantic World JOHN W. CATRON “Considers, on a circum-Atlantic scale, how conversion to Afro-Protestant Christianity encouraged a ‘middle path’ between exclusionist ethnic African identities and deracinated Atlantic creole identities.”—Douglas B. Chambers, author of The Igbo Diaspora in the Era of the Slave Trade

In Embracing Protestantism, John Catron argues that people of African descent in America who adopted Protestant Christianity during the eighteenth century did not become African Americans but instead assumed more fluid Atlantic-African identities. America was then the land of slavery and white supremacy, where citizenship and economic mobility were offlimits to most people of color. In contrast, the Atlantic World offered access to the growing abolitionist movement in Europe. Catron examines how the wider Atlantic World gave people of color unprecedented power in their local congregations and contact with black Christians in West and Central Africa. JOHN W. CATRON is an independent scholar living in Gainesville, Florida.

SEAMS OF EMPIRE Race and Radicalism in Puerto Rico and the United States CARLOS ALAMO-PASTRANA “Alamo-Pastrana revises how race is to be studied and understood across national, cultural, colonial, and hierarchical cultural relations.”—Zaire Z. Dinzey-Flores, author of Locked In, Locked Out: Gated Communities in a Puerto Rican City
Carlos Alamo-Pastrana offers racial imbrication—a new approach that differentiates overlapping points about race, empire, gender and politics in writing—as a framework for reading the works of little-known Afro-Puerto Rican and African American radicals and progressives, both on the island and the U.S. mainland. By addressing the concealed power relations responsible for national, gendered, and class differences, this method of textual analysis reveals key symbolic and material connections between marginalized groups in both national spaces and traces the complexity of race, racism, and radical conflict. CARLOS ALAMO-PASTRANA is assistant professor of sociology and Latin American and Latina/o studies at Vassar College.

THE INVENTION OF THE BEAUTIFUL GAME Football and the Making of Modern Brazil GREGG BOCKETTI “Captures the bitter conflicts and surprising continuities that marked the emergence of a national style in Brazil as it tells the story of the men and women who, despite their many differences, together created ‘the beautiful game.’”—Roger Kittleson, author of The Country of Football: Soccer and the Making of Modern Brazil
In this cross-cutting cultural history, Gregg Bocketti traces the origins of soccer in Brazil from its elitist, Eurocentric identity as “foot-ball” at the end of the nineteenth century to its subsequent mythologization as the specifically Brazilian “futebol,” o jogo bonito (the beautiful game). Bocketti examines how the sport evolved from being an arena for the white elite, played with European sensibilities—disciplined and pragmatic—and became an integral part of Brazil’s national identity, characterized by passion, creativity, and flair, and breaking from European influence. GREGG BOCKETTI is associate professor of history at Transylvania University.

RACE AND CLASS IN THE COLONIAL BAHAMAS, 1880–1960
INDIGENOUS PASSAGES TO CUBA, 1515–1900 JASON M. YAREMKO
GAIL SAUNDERS “Deftly unravels the complex historical interrelationships of race, color, class, economics, and environment in the Colonial Bahamas. An invaluable study for scholars who conduct comparative research on the British Caribbean.”—Rosalyn Howard, author of Black Seminoles in the Bahamas
The Bahamas once paralleled the United States with its racial and class tensions rather than conforming to West Indian norms. Noting the extreme discrimination and racism perpetrated by the small minority of white Bahamians, Saunders argues that the Bahamas’s close proximity to the United States accounted for the island’s economic and political imbalance. Saunders examines interactions between white, brown, and black Creoles to explain why non-whites in racially divided Bahamian society tolerated discrimination for decades. GAIL SAUNDERS, director-general of heritage for The Bahamas Department of Archives, is author of several books, including Bahamian Society After Emancipation.

“Portrays the vitality and dynamism of indigenous actors in what is arguably one of the most foundational and central zones in the making of modern world history: the Caribbean.”—Maximilian C. Forte, author of Ruins of Absence, Presence of Caribs
During the colonial period, thousands of North American peoples traveled to Cuba as traders, diplomats, immigrants, or refugees; others were forcibly transported as slaves or prisoners of war. Cuba served as the destination and residence of peoples as diverse as the Yucatec Mayas of Mexico; the Calusa, Timucua, Creek, and Seminole peoples of Florida; and the Apache and Puebloan cultures of New Spain. Yaremko demonstrates the diverse, multifaceted, and dynamic nature of the indigenous diaspora in colonial Cuba and their crucial role in geopolitical, diplomatic, and diasporic processes. JASON M. YAREMKO, associate professor of history at the University of Winnipeg, is the author of U.S. Protestant Missions in Cuba.

DARWIN’S MAN IN BRAZIL
PRIEST UNDER FIRE
The Evolving Science of Fritz Müller
Padre David Rodríguez, the Catholic Church, and El Salvador's Revolutionary Movement
DAVID A. WEST “Impeccable research on practically every available facet of Müller’s life. Relevant for both historians of science and scientists alike.”—Adriana Novoa, coauthor of From Man to Ape: Darwinism in Argentina, 1870–1920
Fritz Müller (1821–1897) was a cohort of some of the greatest nineteenth-century naturalists. In Darwin’s Man in Brazil, David West argues that Müller was Darwin’s closest intellectual kin. Through correspondence spanning seventeen years, the two men often discussed new topics and exchanged ideas. Darwin frequently commented on Müller’s powers of observation and interpretation, counting him among those whose opinions he valued most. Even now, Müller is known for only a few of his discoveries. This book tells the story of the life and work of this remarkable yet largely overlooked man. DAVID A. WEST was associate professor emeritus of biological sciences at Virginia Tech University and the author of Fritz Müller: A Naturalist in Brazil.

DOCUMENTING THE UNDOCUMENTED
GENDER AND RHETORIC OF MODERNITY IN SPANISH AMERICA, 1850–1910
Latino/a Narratives and Social Justice in the Era of Operation Gatekeeper
LEE SKINNER
MARTA CAMINERO-SANTANGELO “Brings together Latino fiction, journalistic books, and autobiographical accounts to consider how undocumented people are portrayed in the wake of restrictive immigration policies.”—Rodrigo Lazo, author of Writing to Cuba
“Provides sophisticated readings of a broad range of narratives that illustrate the tensions brought about in discussions about gender and its relation to modernity in Spanish America.”—Fernando Unzueta, author of La imaginación histórica y el romance nacional en Hispanoamérica
Exploring the work of U.S. Latino/a citizen writers including Junot Díaz, Cristina García, and Julia Alvarez, Documenting the Undocumented demonstrates writers’ increased solidarity with undocumented immigrants and the emergence of narratives from the undocumented themselves. Some of these writers challenge common ways of understanding “illegal” immigration, while others protest their own silencing in immigration debates; still others capitalize on the topic for the commercial market, whereas others deal with rhetoric of trauma and ethics.
Lee Skinner examines the work of male and female writers to show how nineteenth-century discourses of modernity and gender overlapped and shaped each other in the Spanish-colonized Americas. Analyzing a wide variety of texts, she finds that discourses on modernity did not necessarily split along gender lines as much as they correlated to a writer’s political priorities. Skinner posits that it was the rhetorical nature of modernity that enabled readers and writers to project and respond to multiple perspectives in discourses about modernity.
MARTA CAMINERO-SANTANGELO, professor of English at the University of Kansas, is the author of On Latinidad: U.S. Latino Literature and the Construction of Ethnicity.
LEE SKINNER, associate dean and associate professor of modem languages at Claremont McKenna College, is author of History Lessons: Refiguring the Nineteenth-Century Historical Novel in Spanish America.

BEHIND THE MASKS OF MODERNISM
VIRGINIA WOOLF'S MODERNIST DIARIES
Global and Transnational Perspectives
Her Middle Diaries and the Diaries She Read
EDITED BY ANDREW REYNOLDS AND BONNIE ROOS
BARBARA LOUNSBERRY
“Allows the mask—as artifact, metaphor, theatrical costume, fetish, strategy for self-concealment, and treasured cultural object—to clarify modernity’s relationship to history.”—Carrie J. Preston, author of Modernism’s Mythic Pose.
This volume reconsiders what “modernism” means by exploring expressions of modernity around the globe. The case studies—from Brazilian music to Chinese film to Nigerian masquerades—show how masks enable communities to grapple with societal transformations caused by modern transnational forces. The contributors challenge popular assumptions about what modernism looks like and what it is. ANDREW REYNOLDS, associate professor of Spanish at West Texas A&M University, is author of The Spanish American Crónica Modernista, Temporality and Material Culture.

“Lounsberry is the only scholar to treat Woolf’s diaries for themselves—as works of art, as expressions of her private self, and as testing grounds for her experiments in novel-writing.”—Panthea Reid, author of Tillie Olsen: One Woman, Many Riddles
This volume picks up where Becoming Virginia Woolf left off: with Woolf’s second 1918 Hogarth House diary, thus beginning Woolf’s middle, modernist diary stage. Woolf used her diaries to experiment with form and her evolving modernist style, and continued her voracious reading of other writers’ diaries, including W.N.P. Barbellion, Anton Chekov, and Jonathan Swift. Through close readings of Woolf’s journaling and the fourteen diaries she read through the decade, Lounsberry continues to trace Woolf’s development as a writer and unearths new connections between her professional writing, her personal diary writing, and the diaries she read. BARBARA LOUNSBERRY is professor emerita of English at the University of Northern Iowa. She is the author of Becoming Virginia Woolf.

JAMES JOYCE’S “LONDUB”
AN INTRODUCTION TO PIERS PLOWMAN
Literature, Publishing, and the Cultural Politics of the Imperial Metropolis, 1900–39
MICHAEL CALABRESE
ELENI LOUKOPOULOU In this work, Eleni Loukopoulou examines the connection between Joyce’s writings, their publication history, and London, arguing that the metropolis was an important political and cultural center for Joyce. The work offers fresh readings of literary representations of London in Joyce’s canon through nuanced assessments of various archival materials: little magazines and anthologies, broadcasts and sound recordings, and other writings both published and unpublished. Many of these materials are newly discovered or have been largely neglected, and Loukopoulou deftly weaves her findings together to convincingly illuminate London’s role as a key cultural and publishing vector for the composition and dissemination of Joyce’s work. ELENI LOUKOPOULOU is professor of English at the University of Kent. A volume in the Florida James Joyce, edited by Sebastian D. G. Knowles

“A comprehensive and witty guide to understanding Piers Plowman in all its versions, and a manifesto for the pure intellectual pleasure to be had from reading the text.”—Sarah Wood, author of Conscience and the Composition of Piers Plowman
William Langland’s Piers Plowman, available in an A, B, and C text, has become a standard in medieval literature courses. However, current guides primarily focus on the B text. This first comprehensive introduction to Langland’s masterful work covers all three iterations and outlines the changes that occurred between each. Calabrese includes a navigational summary, a chronology of events relevant to the poem, biographical notes about Langland, and keys to characters and proper pronunciation. With this definitive volume, readers can navigate this daunting poem. MICHAEL CALABRESE, professor of English at California State University, is author of Chaucer's Ovidian Arts of Love.

THIS BUSINESS OF WORDS Reassessing Anne Sexton EDITED BY AMANDA GOLDEN “Readers of Anne Sexton’s poetry have been waiting more than twenty years for a collection of essays like this.”—Dawn M. Skorczewski, author of An Accident of Hope: The Therapy Tapes of Anne Sexton
Anne Sexton has seldom been featured in literary criticism texts. With new access to archived materials, seven scholars and seven poets consider the wide range of Sexton’s materials and demonstrate how they not only inform readings of her work and creative process but also reveal her efforts to build a successful career without a university education. Citing their initial encounters and teachings of Sexton’s poetry, the poets discuss the influence of her craft on twenty-first century poetry. Together, the authors use the body of Sexton’s work to explore the development of her aesthetic, her reception, and the lasting appeal of her work among readers, students, and poets today. AMANDA GOLDEN, assistant professor of English at New York Institute of Technology, is book review editor for Woolf Studies Annual.

OUT OF DISASTER
Travels and Transformations of a Cultural Icon
New Figurative Paintings in Argentina, 1960–65
EDITED BY MAUREEN G. SHANAHAN AND ANA MARÍA REYES
PATRICK FRANK “Chronicles an important and little-known episode in the history of Argentine art and thoughtfully locates the movement within the complex cultural and political landscape of its time.” —Abigail McEwen, Institute of Fine Arts of New York University
“Shows us how and why Simón Bolívar is still a major icon in Latin American culture. ”—Efraín Barradas, author of Mente, Mirada, Mano: Visiones y Revisiones de La Obra de Lorenzo Homar
Latin America’s most famous historical figure has become a mythic symbol for many nations, empires, and revolutions, used to support wildly diverse idea—from colonial Cuba to Nazioccupied France. Here, an array of international and interdisciplinary scholars shows how Bolívar has appeared over the last two centuries in paintings, fiction, poetry, music, film, festivals, dance traditions, city planning, and even reliquary adoration. Whether exalted, reimagined, or fragmented, Bolívar’s body has taken on a range of different meanings to represent the politics and poetics of today’s national bodies. MAUREEN G.

In this first in-depth examination of Nueva Figueración, Patrick Frank explores the work of four artists at its heart—Ernesto Deira, Rómulo Macció, Luis Felipe Noé, and Jorge de la Vega— to demonstrate the importance of their work in the transnational development of modern art. The Argentinian painters broke new ground in Latin American art, exercising a creative freedom that broke taboos about the role of the artist in society. Frank combines analyses of each artist’s paintings with discussions of the social, political, and artistic contexts in which they were created, demonstrating Nueva Figueración’s lasting influence on Latin American art. PATRICK FRANK is the author of various books, including Los Artistas del Pueblo.

PRE-COLUMBIAN ART OF THE CARIBBEAN
City Building in Latin America
LAWRENCE WALDRON
EDITED BY RENÉ C. DAVIDS
The importance of animals as surrogates and signifiers in pre-Columbian art places them at the foundation of the symbolic language and visual culture throughout much of the ancient Americas. This volume focuses on nearly two dozen species found in early ceramics and their possible cultural meanings for the people who made them. Lawrence Waldron surveys and illustrates Saladoid ceramics and other objects from Caribbean countries in over twenty collections throughout that region and the United States. He studies a great many traditional narratives from these groups, as well as the ethnozoology and ethology of the identified species as part of a multidisciplinary strategy to recover some part of early animal symbolism. The analysis shows that different animal symbols dominated in different islands and provides evidence that these regional differences may have been purposeful and politically savvy expressions of cultural differences among emergent Caribbean subgroups.

SHAPING TERRAIN
This volume views topography and ecology as a means of understanding human settlement and city building in Latin America. It considers landscape alongside social, political, economic, and cultural meanings that have accompanied the built environment dating to before Spanish contact. The scholars demonstrate that ideas about architecture were adapted within the Latin American context and were influential in changing how people thought about the built environment in Europe, a reciprocity not generally acknowledged. The contributors draw on a wide sampling of locations, structures, histories, and nations to show how landscape, ecology, geography, urban history, and design shape one another.

Afro-Politics and Civil Society in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil

AFRO-POLITICS AND CIVIL SOCIETY IN SALVADOR DA BAHIA, BRAZIL
MARRIAGE IN LOWLAND SOUTH AMERICA EDITED BY STEPHEN BECKERMAN AND PAUL VALENTINE
KWAME DIXON “Powerfully illustrates that Bahia has a vibrant black political history worthy of documentation.”—Keisha-Khan Perry, author of Black Women against the Land Grab: The Fight for Racial Justice in Brazil
Brazil’s black population mobilized a vibrant antiracism movement from grassroots origins when the country transitioned from dictatorship to democracy in the 1980s. Campaigning for political equality against centuries of deeply engrained racial hierarchies, African-descended groups have been working to unlock democratic spaces previously closed to them. Using Salvador as a case study, Dixon tracks the emergence of black civil society groups and their political projects: claiming new citizenship rights, testing anti-discrimination and affirmative action measures, reclaiming rural and urban land, and increasing political representation. KWAME DIXON, assistant professor of African American studies at Syracuse University, is coeditor of Comparative Perspectives on AfroLatin America.

“Promises to reinvigorate the topic of marriage in the discipline of anthropology.”—Michael A. Uzendoski, coauthor of The Ecology of the Spoken Word
In this update to Kenneth Kensinger’s 1984 volume Marriage Practices in Lowland South America, Stephen Beckerman and Paul Valentine offer insight into a previously unaddressed aspect of marriage in Lowland South America: how individuals interpret, bend, and break marital laws. The experts show how personal motives and opportunities can trigger actions that modify, manipulate, or altogether ignore societal norms. They also detail how such actions are influenced by forces such as gender, economics, politics, history, and ecology. STEPHEN BECKERMAN is associate professor emeritus of anthropology at Pennsylvania State University. PAUL VALENTINE is former senior lecturer of anthropology at the University of East London. They are coeditors of Cultures of Multiple Fathers: The Theory and Practice of Partible Paternity in Lowland South America.

EXCAVATING MEMORY
More Archaeology of Piracy
Sites of Remembering and Forgetting
EDITED BY CHARLES R. EWEN AND RUSSELL K. SKOWRONEK
EDITED BY MARIA THERESIA STARZMANN AND JOHN R. ROBY
“Anyone interested in historical archaeology, seafaring, and of course, piracy on the high seas as well as on land will enjoy this book.”—Donny L. Hamilton, director, Conservation Research Laboratory, Texas A&M University
“A rounded overview of historical and sociocultural approaches to memory that offers a series of interesting and compelling case studies with good global coverage.”—Andrew Jones, author of Prehistoric Materialities
The contributors to this volume combine both material culture and archival research to confirm the exploits of pirates and the ships they sailed. They examine the latest discoveries at Captain Henry Morgan’s encampments and recount William Kidd’s epic capture of the Quedagh Merchant in the Indian Ocean. Other chapters include explorations of Blackbeard’s Queen Anne’s Revenge, Bartholomew “Black Bart” Robert’s Ranger, and Hollywood’s portrayal of pirates.
In this study, experts argue that memory is a complex process, shaped by remembering and forgetting. Collective memory influences which stories are told over others, ultimately shaping narratives about identity, family, and culture. Using anthropology, archaeology, sociology, history, philosophy, literature, and archival studies, the experts examine sites of memory, including the Victory Memorial to Soviet Army, Spanish penitentiaries, African shrines, and the U.S.-Mexico borderlands to show how different communities reinforce or reinterpret their pasts.

THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF ANCESTORS
THE ANCIENT URBAN MAYA Neighborhoods, Inequality, and Built Form
Death, Memory, and Veneration
SCOTT R. HUTSON
EDITED BY ERICA HILL AND JON B. HAGEMAN
“A new milestone in the study of Maya urbanism.”—Cynthia Robin, author of Everyday Life Matters: Maya Farmers at Chan
“A must have for anyone interested in the role of ancestors in past and present societies.” —Mercourios Georgiadis, author of Kos in the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age
Using case studies from China, Greece, Africa, Europe, and Mesoamerica, the contributors to this volume show that the influence attributed to progenitors—through art, iconography, architecture, burial practices—was used not only for resource control but also to resolve domestic disputes, advertise wealth, and negotiate power and status relationships. Including an essential overview of the anthropology of ancestors and their identification in the archaeological record, the volume reveals why and how particular members of the dead were honored and remembered.

Ancient cities were complex social, political, and economic entities, but they also suffered from inequality, poor sanitation, and disease— oftentimes more so than rural areas. In The Ancient Urban Maya, Scott Hutson examines ancient Mayan cities of the northern lowlands and argues that, despite the hazards of urban life, these places continued to lure people to them for many centuries. With built forms that welcomed crowds, neighborhoods that offered domestic comforts, marketplaces that facilitated the exchange of goods and ideas, and the opportunities to expand social networks and capital, the Maya used their cities in familiar ways. SCOTT R. HUTSON, associate professor of anthropology at the University of Kentucky, is author of Dwelling, Identity, and the Maya.

RITUAL, VIOLENCE, AND THE FALL OF THE CLASSIC MAYA KINGS EDITED BY GYLES IANNONE, BRETT A. HOUK, AND SONJA A. SCHWAKE “A comprehensive look at the concept of Maya kingship.”—James Garber, editor of The Ancient Maya of the Belize Valley
Mayan kings who failed their kingdoms were subject to various forms of termination, including the ritual destruction of monuments and violent death. This volume focuses on responses to the failure of Classic period dynasties, offers new insights into the Maya “collapse,” and evaluates the trope of the scapegoat king and the demise of the traditional institution of kingship.

THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE COLD WAR TODD A. HANSON “As Todd Hanson shows us, archaeology can add to the record of the Cold War, which profoundly shaped the world in which we all now live.” —James P. Delgado, author of Khubilai Khan’s Lost Fleet
This volume explores the origins, accomplishments, and potential directions of the emerging field of Cold War archaeology using case studies of archaeological investigations conducted at American Cold War sites. The work shows how archaeological practices are being used to strip away Cold War myths, secrets, and political rhetoric to better understand the materiality of the conflict and its role in the making of contemporary American landscape. Hanson also offers a discussion of the economic, cultural, and political issues tied to the preservation and stewardship of Cold War heritage sites. TODD A.

RITUAL AND ARCHAIC STATES
THE SOUTHEASTERN INKA IMPERIAL FRONTIERS
EDITED BY JOANNE M.A. MURPHY
SONIA ALCONINI
“An important addition to our understanding of early states. The contributors amply demonstrate through their fresh insights how crucial ritual is to statecraft in the New and Old World.”—Peter N. Peregrine, author of Ancient Human Migrations
In this first comprehensive study of Inka frontiers, Alconini explores the interactions between the Inka and the Amazonia—between a large empire and a less complex population. By summarizing existing information on the modes in which prehistoric empires structured their frontiers, Alconini offers a theoretical approach to the variants of imperial frontier structures and their archaeological manifestations. Within this framework, Alconini examines frontiers in different parts of the Inka empire—Bolivia, Ecuador, Argentina, Peru—using archaeological and ethnohistoric information. The work focuses on the impact of the Inka frontier establishment on local communities and compares settlement patterns and modes of interaction between highland and lowland populations. At a household level it evaluates the effects of imperial frontiers on the domestic economy, production, cultural materials, and labor organization of populations.
This timely volume explores the varying nature, expression, and significance of rituals in archaic states. Arguing that state expansion did not occur solely through militaristic or economic means, the contributors describe ritual as a vital mechanism that helped define group affiliations, sustain social cohesion, legitimize the exercise of power, and communicate shared devotion in early state societies. This volume posits that by studying ritual and its relationship to cultural practices and social organization, we can better understand diverse social groups.

THE RISE AND FALL OF COMPLEX SOCIETIES IN THE PERUVIAN DESERT
THE MARITIME LANDSCAPE OF THE ISTHMUS OF PANAMÁ
Archaeological Investigations at La Tiza, Nasca
JAMES DELGADO, FREDERICK HANSELMANN, TOMÁS MENDIZÁBAL, AND DOMINQUE RISSOLO
CHRISTINA A. CONLEE La Tiza, a Wari site in the Nasca desert, was the longest continuously occupied site in the Wari Empire, making it a great source for data on the rise and fall of the Wari state. This book is the first attempt to provide a comprehensive cultural history for the Nasca Drainage, from the first settlers to the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. Christina Conlee reconstructs the development of social complexity over time using data uncovered during excavations. The volume includes a detailed site report of La Tiza that describes stratigraphy, artifacts discovered, burials recovered, and additional archaeological findings. Conlee shows how a civilization—particularly one with a long temporal span and a variety of conflicts—collapses, rebuilds, abandons, and reforms itself. CHRISTINA A. CONLEE is associate professor of anthropology at Texas State University.

PERSPECTIVES ON THE ANCIENT MAYA OF CHETUMAL BAY
CUBAN ARCHAEOLOGY IN THE CIRCUM-CARIBBEAN CONTEXT
EDITED BY DEBRA S. WALKER
EDITED BY IVAN ROKSANDIC
Chetumal Bay spans two countries—Belize and Mexico—complicating research of the isolated polity. In this first volume to incorporate data from both sides of the border, scholars working in Belize and Mexico discuss the bay’s significance to understanding the Ancient Maya. Spurred by the recent discovery that Dzibanche in Chetumal served as the Early Classic seat of the Kaan kingdom, the contributors explore the bay’s crucial role in ancient Maya politics, warefare, economy, exchange, and communication. Investigations into trading ports, agricultural landscapes, and material industries demonstrate the bay’s impact on regional and international scales.
“Changes the conversation about Cuban archaeology as a whole.”—Samuel M. Wilson, author of The Archaeology of the Caribbean
DEBRA S. WALKER is research curator for anthropology at the Florida Museum of Natural History. A volume in the series Maya Studies, edited by Diane Chase and Arlen Chase
This volume examines key archaeological and anthropological issues to present a new theory of mainland migration into the Caribbean, specifically Cuba. Tracing the movement of the island’s earliest known residents through the lenses of archaeology, physical anthropology, paleoecology, paleobotany, ethnology and more, the experts present new data on the origins, lifeways, and identities of early Caribbean populations.

Archaeologies of Freedom and Space in the Caribbean
Power, Dress, Gender, and Representation in the Pre-Columbian Americas
EDITED BY LYNSEY BATES, JOHN M. CHENOWETH, AND JAMES A. DELLE
EDITED BY SARAHH SCHER AND BILLIE FOLLENSBEE
“Reminds us that the Caribbean was a more complicated place than we usually imagine.” —Kenneth G. Kelly, coeditor of French Colonial Archaeology in the Southeast and Caribbean
The contributors to this volume explore gender dynamics in ancient cultures of the Americas. They explore the connections among gender, costume, and the representation of power, examining how authority is gendered or related to gender, and how the representation of that authority reinforces or transgresses these norms. The essays address how costume elements became symbols of power, might express gender and authority, and may have been appropriated by one gender to symbolize the other. A growing number of scholars are looking to create a holistic, nuanced image that includes not only men and women, but individuals with dual or ambiguous genders, and how these identities are part of the greater fabric of social relations, political power, and religious authority.
Slaves held in bondage carved out places at the margins of plantation societies. The unique studies in this volume employ innovative techniques to examine the less studied spaces— plantation villages, the interstitial spaces linking plantation communities, post-emancipation groups, and military sites—to reveal the complex dynamics at play during and after slavery. LYNSEY BATES is an anthropology doctoral candidate at the University of Pennsylvania. JOHN M. CHENOWETH is assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan. JAMES A. DELLE, associate dean of Shippensburg University, is the author of several books, including The Colonial Caribbean.
