A call to end an intolerable policy

The Crisis of Absolute School Discipline
Derek W. Black
In the era of zero tolerance, we are flooded with
stories about schools issuing draconian punishments
for relatively innocent behavior. One student was
suspended for chewing a Pop-Tart into the shape of
a gun. Another was expelled for cursing on social
media from home. Suspension and expulsion rates
have doubled over the past three decades as zero
tolerance policies have become the normal response
to a host of minor infractions. Students from all
demographic groups have suffered, but minority and
special needs students have suffered the most. On
average, middle and high schools suspend one out of
four African American students at least once a year.
The effects of these policies are devastating. Just one
suspension in the ninth grade doubles the likelihood
that a student will drop out. Fifty percent of students
who drop out are subsequently unemployed. Eighty
percent of prisoners are high school drop outs. The
risks associated with suspension and expulsion are
so high that, as a practical matter, they amount
to educational death penalties, not behavioral
correction tools.
DEREK W. BLACK is Professor of Law at the

University of South Carolina School of Law.
He is a former attorney with the Lawyers
Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.
Ending Zero Tolerance answers the calls of grassroots

communities pressing for integration and increased
education funding with a complete rethinking of
school discipline. Derek Black weaves stories about
individual students, lessons from social science, and
the outcomes of court cases to unearth a shockingly
irrational system of punishment. While schools and
legislatures have proven unable and unwilling to
amend their failing policies, Ending Zero Tolerance
argues for constitutional protections to check abuses
in school discipline and lays out ways in which courts
should re-engage to enforce students rights and
support broader reforms.

The Use and Abuse of a Controversial

Policing Tactic
Michael D. White and Henry F. Fradella
The most comprehensive discussion of the

topic to date.White and Fradella offer plausible
recommendations for reining in this contentious
police practice that promises public safety, but in
some communities, has replaced fear of crime with
fear of the police.
Delores Jones-Brown, co-author of Policing and
Minority Communities
MICHAEL D. WHITE is Professor in the
School of Criminology and Criminal Justice
at Arizona State University and the Associate
Director of ASUs Center for Violence
Prevention and Community Safety. His
publications include Jammed Up: Bad Cops,

HENRY F. FRADELLA is Professor and
Associate Director in the School of
Criminology and Criminal Justice at Arizona
State University. His publications include
Americas Courts and the Criminal Justice
System.
No policing tactic has been more controversial

than stop and frisk, whereby police officers stop,
question and frisk ordinary citizens, who they
may view as potential suspects, on the streets. As
Michael White and Henry Fradella show in the first
authoritative history and analysis of this tactic, there
is a disconnect between our everyday understanding
and the historical and legal foundations for this
policing strategy. First ruled constitutional in 1963,
stop and frisk would go on to become a central tactic
of modern day policing, particularly by the New York
City Police Department. By 2011 the NYPD recorded
685,000 stop-question-and-frisk interactions with
citizens; yet, in 2013, a landmark decision ruled
that the police had over- and mis-used this tactic.
Stop and Frisk tells the story of how and why this
happened, and offers ways that police departments
can better serve their citizens.
While much of the book focuses on the NYPDs use
of stop and frisk, examples are also shown from
police departments around the country, including
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Newark and
Detroit. White and Fradella argue that not only does
stop and frisk have a legal place in 21st-century
policing but also that it can be judiciously used to
help deter crime in a way that respects the rights
and needs of citizens. They also offer insight into the
history of racial injustice that has all too often been
a feature of American policings history and propose
concrete strategies that every police department can
follow to improve the way they police. A hard-hitting
yet nuanced analysis, Stop and Frisk shows how the
tactic can be a just act of policing and, in turn,
shows how to police in the best interest of citizens.

What lies ahead for the Black Church
The Ground Has

Shifted
The Future of the Black Church in PostRacial America

Walter Earl Fluker
If we are in a post-racial era, then what is the future
of the Black Church? If the U.S. will at some time in
the future be free from discrimination and prejudices
that are based on race, how will that affect the
churchs very identity?
In The Ground Has Shifted, Walter Earl Fluker
passionately and thoroughly discusses the historical
and current role of the Black Church and argues
that older race-based language and metaphors of
religious discourse have outlived their utility. He
offers instead a larger, global vision for the Black
Church that focuses on young black men and other
disenfranchised groups who have been left behind in
a world of globalized capital.
With a compelling and lyrical writing style, Fluker
argues that the church must find new ways to use
race as an emancipatory instrument if it is to remain
central in black life, and he points the way for a new
generation of church leaders, scholars and activists
to reclaim the black churchs historical identity and
to turn to the task of infusing character, civility, and
a sense of community among its congregants.
This is the most decisive statement on postracialism, the American dilemma, and black
church positive agency. On each page, Flukers
writing moans and wails us out of southern
African American religiosity, up north into the
fragmentation of black urban life, and into an
ethical world of hope for an America becoming. A
defining direction and persuasive proposal on how
to get us to healthy community.

Make Art Not War
Political Protest Posters from the

Twentieth Century
Edited by Ralph Young
Two of the most recognizable images of twentiethcentury art are Pablo Picassos Guernica and
the rather modest mass-produced poster by an
unassuming illustrator, Lorraine Schneider War is
Not Healthy for Children and Other Living Things.
From Picassos masterpiece to a humble piece
of poster art, artists have used their talents to
express dissent and to protest against injustice and
immorality.
RALPH YOUNG is Professor of History

at Temple University. He is the author of
Dissent: The History of an American Idea (NYU
Press, 2015) and Dissent in America: The
Voices That Shaped a Nation, a compilation
of primary documents of 400 years of
American dissenters.
As the face of many political movements, posters

are essential for fueling recruitment, spreading
propaganda, and sustaining morale. Disseminated
by governments, political parties, labor unions and
other organizations, political posters transcend time
and span the entire spectrum of political affiliations
and philosophies.
Drawing on the celebrated collection in the Tamiment
Librarys Poster and Broadside Collection at New
York University, Ralph Young has compiled an
extraordinarily visceral collection of posters that
represent the progressive protest movements of the
twentieth century: labor, civil rights, the Vietnam
War, LGBT rights, feminism, and other minority
rights.
Make Art Not War can be enjoyed on aesthetic
grounds alone, and also offers fascinating and
revealing insights into twentieth century cultural,
social, and political history.

The changing face of a historic neighborhood
The Jews of Harlem

The Rise, Decline, and Revival of a
Jewish Community
Jeffrey S. Gurock
New York Times columnist David W. Dunlap wrote a

decade ago that on the map of the Jewish Diaspora,
Harlem is Atlantis...A vibrant hub of industry, artistry
and wealth is all but forgotten. It is as if Jewish
Harlem sank 70 years ago beneath waves of memory
beyond recall. During World War I, Harlem was
home to the second largest Jewish community in
America. But in the 1920s Jewish residents began
to scatter to other parts of Manhattan, to the outer
boroughs, and to other cities. Now nearly a century
later, Jews are returning uptown to a gentrified
Harlem.
JEFFREY S. GUROCK is Libby M. Klaperman

University (NY). He is the author or editor of

Jews in Gotham: New York Jews in a Changing

The Jews of Harlem follows Jews into, out of, and

back into this renowned metropolitan neighborhood
over the course of a century and a half. It analyzes
the complex set of forces that brought several
generations of central European, eastern European,
and Sephardic Jews to settle there. It explains the
dynamics that led Jews to exit this part of Gotham
and explores the enduring Jewish presence uptown
after Harlem became overwhelmingly black and
decidedly poor. And it looks at the beginnings of
Jewish return as part of the transformation of New
York City in our present era. The Jews of Harlem
contributes much to our understanding of Jewish
and African American history in the metropolis as
it highlights the ever-changing story of Americas
largest city.
With The Jews of Harlem, the beginning of Dunlaps
hoped-for resurfacing of this neighborhoods history
is underway. Its contemporary story merits telling
even as the memories of what Jewish Harlem once
was warrants recall.

How the Wise Men Got

to Chelm
The Life and Times of a Yiddish Folk
Tradition
Ruth von Bernuth
When God created the world, so it is said, he sent out
an angel with a bag of foolish souls with instructions
to distribute them equally all over the worldone
fool per town. But the angels bag broke and all the
souls spilled out onto the same spot. They built a
settlement where they landed: the town is known as
Chelm.
The collected tales of these fools, or wise men, of
Chelm constitute the best-known folktale tradition of
the Jews of eastern Europe. This tradition includes
a sprawling repertoire of stories about the alleged
intellectual limitations of the members of this old
and important Jewish community. Chelm did not
make its debut in the role of the foolish shtetl par
excellence until late in the nineteenth century. Since
then, however, the town has led a double lifeas a
real city in eastern Poland and as an imaginary place
onto which questions of Jewish identity, community,
and history have been projected.
How the Wise Men Got to Chelm is the first in-depth
study of Chelm literature and its relationship to its
literary precursors. By placing literary Chelm and its
foolish antecedents in a broader historical context,
it shows how they have functioned for over three
hundred years as models of society, somewhere
between utopia and dystopia. These imaginary
foolish towns have enabled writers both to entertain
and highlight a variety of societal problems, a
function that literary Chelm continues to fulfill in
Jewish literature to this day.
Using the example of foolish culture,

von Bernuth shows that Jews shared the
assumptions, themes, and expressions of
the general German culture, while lending
that culture a Jewish inflection. Yet, social
barriers persisted. Von Bernuth illuminates
this paradoxical combination of cultural
partnership and social alienation, showcasing
the relationship between minority and
majority groups. Her book is a milestone in
both literary history and cultural studies.

An unprecedented breakdown in the rule of law

occurred in the United States after the 2008
financial collapse. Bank of America, JPMorgan,
Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and other large banks
settled securities fraud claims with the Securities
and Exchange Commission for failing to disclose
the risks of subprime mortgages they sold to the
investing public. But a corporation cannot commit
fraud except through human beings working at
and managing the firm. Rather than breaking up
these powerful megabanks, essentially imposing
a corporate death penalty, the government simply
accepted fines that essentially punished innocent
shareholders instead of senior leaders at the
megabanks. It allowed the real wrongdoers to walk
away from criminal responsibility.
In The Case for the Corporate Death Penalty, Mary
Kreiner Ramirez and Steven A. Ramirez examine
the best available evidence about the wrongdoing
underlying the financial crisis. They reveal that the
government failed to use its most powerful law
enforcement tools despite overwhelming proof of
wide-ranging and large-scale fraud on Wall Street
before, during, and after the crisis.
The pattern of criminal indulgences exposes the
onset of a new degree of crony capitalism in which
the most economically and political powerful can
commit financial crimes of vast scale with criminal
and regulatory immunity. The Case for the Corporate
Death Penalty shows that this new lawlessness poses
a profound threat that urgently demands political
action and proposes attainable measures to restore
the rule of law in the financial sector.

The Landmarks of
New York
An Illustrated, Comprehensive Record of

New York Citys Historic Buildings,
Sixth Edition
An Illustrated, Comprehensive
Record of New York Citys
Historic Buildings
As the definitive resource on the architectural
history of New York City, The Landmarks of New York
documents and illustrates the 1,352 individual
landmarks and 135 historic districts that have
been accorded landmark status by the New York
City Landmarks Preservation Commission since its
establishment in 1965. Arranged chronologically by
date of construction, the book offers a sequential
overview of the citys architectural history and
richness, presenting a broad range of styles and
building types: colonial farmhouses, Gilded Age
mansions, churches, schools, libraries, museums,
and the great twentieth-century skyscrapers that are
recognized throughout the world.
That so many of these structures have endured is
due, in large measure, to the efforts of the New York
City Landmarks Preservation Commission. Since
the commission was established, New York City has
become the leader of the preservation movement in
the United States.
The Landmarks of New York includes such iconic
structures as Grand Central Station, the Chrysler
Building, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and
Carnegie Hall, as well as those that may be less
well known: the Pieter Claesen Wyckoff House in
Brooklyn, the oldest structure in New York City; the
Bowne House in Queens, the birthplace of American
religious freedom; the Watchtower in Harlem; the
New York Botanical Garden; and Sailors Snug Harbor.
The sixth edition adds 106 new individual landmarks,
two special addenda on the hotly-contested backlog and resultant 30 pending designations, over 150
new photographs, and new historic district maps.

HISTORY RELIGION AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES

When Joseph Nathaniel Beckles registered for the

draft in 1942, he rejected the racial categories
presented to him and persuaded the registrar to
cross out the check mark she had placed next to
Negro and substitute Ethiopian Hebrew. God did
not make us Negroes, declared religious leaders
in black communities of the early twentieth-century
urban North. They insisted that so-called Negroes
are, in reality, Ethiopian Hebrews, Asiatic Muslims,
or raceless children of God. Rejecting conventional
American racial classification, many black southern
migrants and immigrants from the Caribbean
embraced these alternative visions of black history,
racial identity, and collective future, thereby
reshaping the black religious and racial landscape.
Focusing on the Moorish Science Temple, the Nation
of Islam, Father Divines Peace Mission Movement,
and a number of congregations of Ethiopian
Hebrews, Judith Weisenfeld contends that the appeal
of these groups lay not only in the new religious
opportunities membership provided, but also in the
novel ways they formulated a religio-racial identity.
Arguing that members of these groups understood
their religious and racial identities as divinelyordained and inseparable, the book examines how
this sense of self shaped their conceptions of their
bodies, families, religious and social communities,
space and place, and political sensibilities.
Weisenfeld draws on extensive archival research and
incorporates a rich array of sources to highlight
the experiences of average members. The book
demonstrates that the efforts by members of
these movements to contest conventional racial
categorization contributed to broader discussions
in black America about the nature of racial identity
and the collective future of black people that still
resonate today.

An intimate portrait of a towering figure
Jacob Neusner
An American Jewish Iconoclast

Aaron W. Hughes
Jacob Neusner (born 1932) is one of the most

important figures in the shaping of modern American
Judaism. He was pivotal in transforming the study of
Judaism from an insular project only conducted by
and of interest toreligious adherents to one which
now flourishes in the secular setting of the university.
He is also one of the most colorful, creative, and
difficult figures in the American academy. But
even those who disagree with Neusners academic
approach to ancient rabbinic texts have to engage
with his pioneering methods.
In this comprehensive biography, Aaron W. Hughes
shows Neusner to be much more than a scholar
of rabbinics. He is a social commentator, a postHolocaust theologian, and an outspoken political
figure active in public debates especially during the
height of the cultural wars of the 1980s. Neusners
life reflects the story of what happened as Jews
migrated to the suburbs in the late 1940s, daring to
imagine new lives for themselves as they successfully
integrated into the fabric of American society. It
is also the story of how American Jews tried to
make sense of the world in the aftermath of the
extermination of European Jewry and the subsequent
creation of the State of Israel in 1948, and how they
sought to define what it meant to be an American
Jew.
Aaron Hughes has written a comprehensive,

compelling, and candid intellectual portrait of
Jacob Neusner and his unparalleled lifetime of
achievementsHughes has succeeded brilliantly
in highlighting the singular significance Neusner
holds as an academic, as a religious thinker, and as
a public intellectual. Hughes has given his readers
a captivating intellectual biography to savor!
David Ellenson, Chancellor Emeritus and former
President of Hebrew Union
College-Jewish Institute of Religion
AARON W. HUGHES holds the Philip S.
Bernstein Chair of Jewish Studies at the
University of Rochester.
Unlike other great American Jewish thinkers, Neusner

was born in the U.S., and his Judaism was informed
by an American ethos. It is an American Judaism,
one that has enabled American Jewsthe freest in
historyto be fully American and fully Jewish.

As a legal matter, the Courts conclusion is

clearly correct, but its premises are murky,
and they raise difficult questions about the
possibilities and limitations of law and expression.
Nonrepresentational art, instrumental music, and
nonsense do not employ language in any traditional
sense, and sometimes do not even involve the
transmission of articulable ideas. How, then, can
they be treated as speech for constitutional
purposes? What does the difficulty of that question
suggest for First Amendment law and theory? And
can law resolve such inquiries without relying on
aesthetics, ethics, and philosophy?
Comprehensive and compelling, this book represents
a sustained effort to account, constitutionally, for
these modes of speech. While it is firmly centered
in debates about First Amendment issues, it
addresses them in a novel way, using subject matter
that is uniquely well suited to the task, and whose
constitutional salience has been under-explored.
Drawing on existing legal doctrine, aesthetics, and
analytical philosophy, three celebrated law scholars
show us how and why speech beyond words should
be fundamental to our understanding of the First
Amendment.

how anti-aging practices are conceived by, and

particularly interested in how Botox is now being
targeted to younger women; since Botox is a
procedure that must be continually administered
to work, the strategic choice to market to younger

consumers.
Berkowitz also analyzes magazine articles,

consider how narratives of aging are depicted.

PRIDE
PARADES
HOW A PARADE CHANGED THE WORLD

KATHERINE McFARLAND BRUCE
Pride is at the heart of most

social movements, and nothing
embodies it better than a
joyous public parade. This is a
charming, stirring book, one of
the best yet about the modern
LGBT movement.
James M. Jasper, author of
Protest: A Cultural Introduction to
Social Movements
On June 28, 1970, two

thousand gay and lesbian
activists in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago
paraded down the streets of their cities in a new
kind of social protest, one marked by celebration,
fun, and unashamed declaration of a stigmatized
identity. Forty-five years later, over six million
people annually participate in 115 Pride parades
across the United States. They march with church
congregations and college gay-straight alliance
groups, perform dance routines and marching band
numbers, and gather with friends to cheer from the
sidelines.
With vivid imagery, and showcasing the voices of
these participants, Pride Parades tells the story of
Pride from its beginning in 1970 to 2010. Though
often dismissed as frivolous spectacles, the author
builds a convincing case for the importance of
Pride parades as cultural protests at the heart
of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT)
community. Weaving together interviews, archival
reports, quantitative data, and ethnographic
observations at six diverse contemporary parades in
New York City, Salt Lake City, San Diego, Burlington,
Fargo, and Atlanta, Bruce describes how Pride
parades are a venue for participants to challenge
the everyday cultural stigma of being queer in
America, all with a flair and sense of fun absent
from typical protests. Unlike political protests that
aim to change government laws and policies, Pride
parades are coordinated, concerted attempts to
improve the standing of LGBT people in American
culture.

Sander L. Gilman and James M. Thomas

In 2012, an interdisciplinary team of scientists at

its users. Shortly after the experiment, an article How

contemporary America, up to the aforementioned

ask a slightly different question than that posed by
Time: How did racism become a mental illness?
Using historical, archival, and content analysis, the
authors provide a rich account of how the nineteenth
century Sciences of Manincluding anthropology,
medicine, and biologyused race as a means
of defining psychopathology and how assertions
about race and madness became embedded within
disciplines that deal with mental health and illness.
An illuminating and riveting history of the discourse
on racism, antisemitism, and psychopathology, Are
Racists Crazy? connects past and present claims
about race and racism, showing the dangerous
implications of this specious line of thought for
today.
Sander Gilman and James Thomas have provided

a unique intellectual and political history of racial
theorizing and have generated a virtual cognitive
road map of how anti-Semitism as leitmotif has
played such a powerful, even dominant role in the
way scholars and researchers have approached
the subject matter, whether in Europe, the United

to piece together so much material, while pulling a

Christopher Mele
Patrisia Macas-Rojas
What is the relationship

between race and space,
and how do racial politics
inform the organization
and development of urban
locales? In Race and
the Politics of Deception,
Christopher Mele unpacks
Americas history of dealing
with racial problems
through the inequitable
use of public space. Mele
focuses on Chester, Pennsylvaniaa small city
comprised of primarily low-income, black residents,
roughly twenty miles south of Philadelphia.
Like many cities throughout the United States,
Chester is experiencing post-industrial decline. A
development plan touted as a way to save the
city, proposes to turn one section into a desirable
waterfront destination, while leaving the rest of
the struggling residents in fractured communities.
Dividing the city into spaces of tourism and
consumption versus the everyday spaces of lowincome residents, Mele argues, segregates the
community by creating a racialized divide. While
these development plans are described as socially
inclusive and economically revitalizing, Mele asserts
that political leaders and real estate developers
intentionally exclude certain types of peoplemost
often, low-income people of color.
Race and the Politics of Deception provides a
revealing look at how our ever-changing landscape
is being strategically divided along lines of class
and race.

EDITED BY
Criminal prosecutions for immigration offenses

have more than doubled over the last two decades,
as national debates about immigration rights and
reforms became headline topics. What lies behind
this unprecedented increase? Why are immigration
violations treated as criminal offenses? How do
deportation, detention, and criminal prosecution
actually operate, and how do enforcement priorities
that target felons and criminals work in policy
and practice?
Todays border policing and immigration law
enforcement practices are less concerned with
distinguishing immigrants from citizens than
with classifying people as either deserving or
undeserving of rights: as victims or criminals.
The distinction has serious implications for
migrants and residents of predominantly Latina/o
border communities, and Patrisia Macas-Rojas
shows how, within this new regime, such strategic
divisions serve to justify aggressive punishment
for those branded as criminals. Overall, From
Deportation to Prison presents a thorough and
captivating exploration of how mass incarceration
and law and order policies of the past forty
years have transformed immigration and border
enforcement in unexpected and important ways.

Joan Maya Mazelis
Creating Sustainable Ties among the Poor
David Dante Troutt

A forcefully presented
eye-opener sure to provoke
controversy as well as interest.
Kirkus Reviews
American communities are
facing chronic problems:
fiscal stress, urban decline,
environmental sprawl, mass
incarceration, political
isolation, disproportionate
foreclosures and severe
public health risks. In The
Price of Paradise, David Troutt argues that it is a
lack of mutuality in our local decision making that
has led to this looming crisis facing cities and local
governments.
Arguing that there are structural flaws in the
American dream, Troutt investigates the role
that place plays in our thinking and how we have
organized our communities to create or deny
opportunity. Legal rules and policies that promoted
mobility for most citizens simultaneously stifled
and segregated a growing minority by race, class
andmost importantlyplace.
A conversation about America at the crossroads,
The Price of Paradise is a multilayered exploration
of the legal, economic and cultural forces that
contribute to the squeeze on the middle class,
the hidden dangers of growing income and
wealth inequality and the literature on how growth
and consumption patterns are environmentally
unsustainable.

In interviews, participants discuss their struggles

and hardships, and their responses highlight the
importance of cultivating relationships among
people living in poverty. Surviving Poverty documents
the ways in which social ties become beneficial
and sustainable, allowing members to share their
skills and resources and providing those living
in similar situations a space to unite and speak
collectively to the growing and deepening poverty
in the United States. The study concludes that
productive, sustainable ties between poor people
have an enduring and valuable impact. Grounding
her study in current debates about the importance
of alleviating poverty, Mazelis proposes new modes
of improving the lives of the poor. Surviving Poverty
is invested in both structural and social change and
demonstrates the power that support services can
have to foster relationships and build sustainable
social ties for those living in poverty.

L A U R A
H A R R I S O N
Plucked
A History of Hair Removal
Rebecca M. Herzig
Named one of the best books of 2015 by The Economist

reveals fresh insights on the
politics of reproduction in the
United States and globally by
investigating the racialized and
gendered meanings of kinship
in the context of cross-racial
gestational surrogacy...An
important and provocative
contribution to critical analyses
of assisted reproduction.
Dorothy Roberts, author of
Killing the Black Body:
Race, Reproduction, and
The Meaning of Liberty
Brown Bodies, White Babies focuses on the practice

of cross-racial gestational surrogacy, in which a
womanthrough in-vitro fertilization using the
sperm and egg of intended parents or donors
carries a pregnancy for intended parents of a
different race. Focusing on the racial differences
between parents and surrogates, this book is
interested in how reproductive technologies
intersect with race, particularly when brown
bodies produce white babies. While the potential
of reproductive technologies is far from predetermined, the ways in which these technologies
are currently deployed often serve the interests of
dominant groups, through the creation of white,
middle-class, heteronormative families.

Laura Harrison, providing an important
understanding of the work of women of color
as surrogates, connects this labor to the history
of racialized reproduction in the United States.
Joining the ongoing feminist debates surrounding
reproduction, motherhood, race, and the body,
Brown Bodies, White Babies ultimately critiques the
new potentials for parenthood that put the very
contours of kinship into question.

Humanity has used an

impressive array of tools to
remove hair. This is, biologically
speaking, pretty strange. Most
of earths mammals possess
luxuriant fur. Only one seeks
to remove it. Rebecca Herzigs
delightful history explains
why: smooth skin is a cultural
imperative.
The Economist
From the clamshell razors
and homemade lye depilatories used in colonial
America to the diode lasers and prescription
pharmaceuticals available today, Americans have
used a staggering array of tools to remove hair
deemed unsightly, unnatural, or excessive. How and
when does hair become a problemwhat makes
some growth excessive? Who or what separates
the necessary from the superfluous?
In Plucked, Rebecca Herzig shows how, over time,
dominant American beliefs about visible hair
changed: where once elective hair removal was
considered a mutilation practiced primarily by
savage men, by the turn of the twentieth century,
hair-free faces and limbs were expected for women.
Herzigs extraordinary account also reveals some
of the collateral damage of the intensifying pursuit
of hair-free skin. Moving beyond the experiences
of particular patients or clients, Herzig describes
the surprising histories of race, science, industry,
and medicine behind todays hair-removing tools.
Plucked is an unsettling, gripping, and original tale
of the lengths to which Americans will go to remove
hair.

BERNADETTE C. BARTON
More Stories from Exotic Dancers,

Completely Revised and Updated Edition
Bernadette C. Barton
What kind of woman dances naked for money?
Bernadette Barton takes us inside countless strip
bars and clubs, from upscale to back road as well as
those that specialize in lap dancing, table dancing,
topless only, and peep shows, to reveal the startling
lives of exotic dancers.
Originally published in 2006, the product of years of
first-hand research in strip clubs around the country,
Stripped is a classic portrait of what its like for those
who choose to strip as a profession. Barton explores
why women begin stripping, the initial excitement
and financial rewards of the work, the dangers of the
lifenamely, drugs and prostitutionand, inevitably,
the difficulties in staying in the business over time,
especially for their relationships, sexuality and selfesteem.
In this completely revised and updated edition,
Barton returns to the strip clubs she originally
studied to observe the major changes in the
industry that have occurred over the last decade.
She examines how raunch culture affects exotic
dancers treatment by their clientele, who are
now accustomed to seeing nudity and sexualized
performance in accessible, R and X -rated media
from a variety of outlets, particularly the Internet.
Barton explores how new media has transformed
exotic dancing, allowing dancers to build an
online brand, but also introducing possibilities
for customers to take unauthorized nude photos
and videos of the entertainers.. And finally, Barton
speaks to new dancers as well as dancers she
interviewed in the previous edition, examining how
the toll of stripping still impacts the lives of exotic
dancers in a changing industry.

Fast Food Kids

French Fries, Lunch Lines, and Social Ties
Amy L. Best
In recent years, questions

such as what are kids
eating? and whos feeding
our kids? have sparked a
torrent of public and policy
debates as we increasingly
focus our attention on the
issue of childhood obesity.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
estimates that while 1 in
3 American children are
either overweight or obese, that number is higher
for children living in concentrated poverty. Enduring
inequalities in communities, schools, and homes
affect young peoples access to different types
of food, with real consequences in life choices
and health outcomes. Fast Food Kids sheds light

The New York Times Book Review
Cut It Out examines the exponential increase in
the United States of the most technological form
of birth that exists: the cesarean section. While
c-section births pose a higher risk of maternal
death and medical complications, can have negative
future reproductive consequences for the mother,
increase the recovery time for mothers after birth,
and cost almost twice as much as vaginal deliveries,
the 2011 cesarean section rate of 33 percent is one
of the highest recorded rates in U.S. history, and an
increase of 50 percent over the past decade.
How did this happen? Theresa Morris challenges
most existing explanations of the unprecedented
rise in c-section rates, arguing that there is a
new culture within medicine that avoids risk or
unpredictable outcomes and instead embraces
planning and conservative choices. Based on
130 in-depth interviews with women who had
just given birth, obstetricians, midwives, and
labor and delivery nurses, Cut It Out provides a
comprehensive, riveting look at a little-known
epidemic that greatly affects the lives, health, and
families of each and every woman in America.

Few world regions today
are of more pressing social
and political interest than
the Middle East: hardly
a day has passed in the
last decade without events
there making global news.
Understanding the region
has never been more
important, yet the field
of Middle East studies
in the United States is in
flux, enmeshed in ongoing controversies about the
relationship between knowledge and power, the role
of the federal government at universities, and ways
of knowing other cultures and places.
Assembling a wide range of scholars, Middle
East Studies for the New Millennium explores the
big-picture issues affecting the field, from the
geopolitics of knowledge production to structural
changes in the university to broader political and
public contexts. Tracing the development of the
field from the early days of the American university
to the Islamophobia of the present day, this book
explores Middle East studies as a discipline and,
more generally, its impact on the social sciences
and academia. Topics include how different
disciplines engage with Middle East scholars, how
American universities teach Middle East studies
and related fields, and the relationship between
scholarship and U.S.-Arab relations, among others.
Middle East Studies for the New Millennium presents
a comprehensive, authoritative overview of how this
crucial field of academic inquiry came to be and
where it is going next.

Civil Society: The Critical History of an Idea provides

a comprehensive discussion and analysis of two

well as how civil society might be understood in the
future. John Ehrenberg analyzes both the usefulness
and the limitations of civil society and maps the
political and theoretical evolution of the concept
and its employment in academic and public
discourse. From Aristotle and the Enlightenment
philosophers to Black Lives Matter and the Occupy

analysis of the possibilities of what this important
idea can, and cannot, offer to contemporary
political affairs.
In this new, second edition Ehrenberg brings the
historical overview up to present day, specifically
considering how major events alter and shape
our relationship to contemporary civil society.
Civic engagement, political participation, and
volunteerism in contemporary life has faded, he
argues, and in order to bring civil society back
to the fore, we need to counter the suffocating
inequality that has taken hold in recent years.
Thorough and accessible, Civil Society gives a
sweeping overview of a foundational part of

Why Millennials Reject Political Careers
and Why It Matters
Shauna L. Shames
Millennials are often publicly criticized for being
apathetic about the American political process
and their lack of interest in political careers. But
what do millennials themselves have to say about
the prospect of holding political office? Are they as
disinterested in political issues and the future of the
American political system as the media suggests?
Out

WHY MILLENNIALS
REJECT POLITICAL
CAREERS AND
Out of the Running goes directly to the source and

draws from extensive research, including over 50
interviews, with graduate students in elite institutions
that have historically been a direct link into state
or federal elected office: Harvard Law, Harvards
Kennedy School of Government, and Bostons Suffolk
University Law School. Shauna Shames, herself a
young graduate of Harvard University, suggests that
millennials are not disinterested; rather, they dont
believe that a career in politics is the best way to
create change. Millennials view the system as corrupt
or inefficient and are particularly skeptical about the
fundraising, frenzied media attention, and loss of
privacy that have become staples of the American
electoral process. They are clear about their desire
to make a difference in the world but feel that the
broken political system is not the best way to do
soa belief held particularly by millennial women
and women of color.
The implications of Shames argument are crucial
for the future of the American political systemhow
can a system adapt and grow if qualified, intelligent
leaders are not involved? An engaging and accessible
resource for anyone who follows American politics,
Out of the Running highlights the urgent need to fix
the American political system, as an absence of
diverse millennial candidates leaves its future in a
truly precarious position.

Very few women are

perpetrators of sexual violence and their place in
wartime conflict, legal policy, and the punishment
of sexual violence. More broadly, Laura Sjoberg
asks, what do the actions and perceptions of
female perpetrators of sexual violence reveal about
our broader conceptions of war, violence, sexual
assault, and gender?
What is the relationship

between criminality and

phrenologists insisted that

inherent in the offenders
brain matter. While they
were eventually repudiated
as pseudo-scientists, today
the pendulum has swung
back. Both criminologists
and biologists have begun
to speak of a tantalizing but disturbing possibility:
that criminality may be inherited as a set of genetic
deficits that place one at risk to commit theft,
violence, or acts of sexual deviance. But what
do these new theories really assert? How can we
prepare for a future in which leaders may propose
crime-control programs based on biology?
This book explores specific historical case studies,

such as Nazi Germany, Serbia, the contemporary
case of ISIS, and others, to understand how and
why women participate in rape during war and
conflict. Sjoberg examines the contrast between
the visibility of female victims and the invisibility
of female perpetrators, as well as the distinction
between rape and genocidal rape, which is used as
a weapon against a particular ethnic or national
group. Further, she explores womens engagement
with genocidal rape and how some orchestrated the
ethnic cleansing of entire regions. A provocative
approach to a sensationalized topic, Women as
Wartime Rapists offers important insights into not
only the topic of female perpetrators of wartime
sexual violence, but also into larger notions of
gender and violence with crucial cultural, legal, and
political implications.
In this second edition of The Criminal Brain, the

authors describe early biological theories of
crime and provide a lively, up-to-date overview
of the newest research in biosocial criminology.
New chapters introduce the theories of the latter
part of the 20th century and provide a vision for
the future of criminology and crime policy from
a biosocial perspective. The book is a careful,
critical examination of each research approach
and conclusion. Both compiling and analyzing the
body of scholarship devoted to understanding the
criminal brain, this volume serves as a condensed,
accessible, and contemporary exploration of
biological theories of crime and their everyday
relevance.

The Matrix is real
Hacked
A Radical Approach to Hacker Culture and
Crime
Kevin F. Steinmetz
Public discourse, from pop culture to political
rhetoric, portrays hackers as deceptive, digital
villains. But what do we actually know about them?

In Hacked, Kevin F. Steinmetz explores what it
means to be a hacker and the nuances of hacker
culture. Through extensive interviews with hackers,
observations of hacker communities, and analyses
of hacker cultural products, Steinmetz demystifies
the figure of the hacker and situates the practice
of hacking within the larger political and economic
structures of capitalism, crime, and control. This
captivating book challenges many of the common
narratives of hackers, suggesting that not all forms
of hacking are criminal and, contrary to popular
opinion, the broader hacker community actually
plays a vital role in our information economy. Hacked
thus explores how governments, corporations,
and other institutions attempt to manage hacker
culture through the creation of ideologies and
laws that protect powerful economic interests. Not
content to simply critique the situation, Steinmetz
ends his work by providing actionable policy
recommendations that aim to redirect the focus from
the individual to corporations, governments, and
broader social issues.

A compelling study, Hacked helps us understand not
just the figure of the hacker, but also digital crime
and social control in our high-tech society.
A highly original, insightful, carefully researched

and elegantly written study of hacker culture.
Through an impressive synthesis of insights from
critical and cultural criminology, classical and
contemporary social theory, politics and political
economy, Kevin Steinmetz delivers a new and
provocative understanding of hacking and its place
in contemporary information capitalism. A must
read for students and scholars of crime, new
media and digital culture.

Reentry in the Era of Mass Incarceration

Marieke Liem, Foreword by

Robert J. Sampson
Travis Linnemann
Considering the enormity of

the sanction, it is remarkable
how little we know about the
lives of those who survive
life imprisonment. With the
powerful narratives in this
ground-breaking book, Marieke
Liem brings their perspectives
into new light and asks when
is enough, enough? in terms of
the punitive state.
Shadd Maruna, co-author of
Making Good: How Ex-Convicts
Reform and Rebuild Their Lives
One out of every ten prisoners in the United States
is serving a life sentenceroughly 130,000 people.
While some have been sentenced to life in prison
without parole, the majority of prisoners serving
life will be released back into society. But what
becomes of those people who reenter the everyday
world after serving life in prison?
In After Life Imprisonment, Marieke Liem carefully
examines the experiences of lifers upon release.
Through interviews with over sixty homicide
offenders sentenced to life but granted parole, Liem
tracks those able to build a new life on the outside
and those who were re-incarcerated. The interviews
reveal prisoners reflections on being sentenced
to life, as well as the challenges of employment,
housing, and interpersonal relationships upon
release. Liem explores the increase in handing out
of life sentences, and specifically provides a basis
for discussions of the goals, costs, and effects of
long-term imprisonment. A profound criminological
examination, After Life Imprisonment reveals the
untold, lived experiences of prisoners before and
after their life sentences.
From the hit television

series Breaking Bad, to daily
news reports, anti-drug
advertising campaigns and
highly publicized world-wide
hunts for narcoterrorists
such as Joaquin El
Chapo Guzman, the drug,
methamphetamine occupies
a unique and important
space in the publics
imagination. In Meth Wars,
Travis Linnemann situates the meth epidemic
within the broader culture and politics of drug
control and mass incarceration.
Linnemann draws together a range of examples
and critical interdisciplinary scholarship to show
how methamphetamine, and the drug war more
generally, are part of a larger governing strategy
that animates the politics of fear and insecurity
and links seemingly unrelated concerns such as
environmental dangers, the politics of immigration
and national security, policing tactics, and
terrorism. The authors unique analysis presents
a compelling case for how the supposed meth
epidemic allows politicians, small town police and
government counter-narcotics agents to engage in
a singular policing project in service to the broader
economic and geo-strategic interests of the United
States.

Fails Women in Prostitution
The most comprehensive

and in-depth study of street
prostitution on the market.
Based on years of fieldwork
with women involved in illicit
commerce as well as interviews
with the authorities and service
providers who interact with
them, the authors provide
a fascinating ethnographic
window into this world.
Ronald Weitzer, author of
Legalizing Prostitution
Women of the Street explores encounters between

those who make their living by engaging in streetbased prostitution and the criminal justice and
social service workers who try to curtail that work.
Drawing on extraordinarily rich ethnographic
research, including interviews with over one
hundred street-involved women and dozens of
criminal justice and social service professionals, the
book argues that despite the intimate knowledge
these groups have about each other, measures
designed to help these women consistently fail
because they do not take into account false
assumptions about street life, homelessness, drug
use, and sex trading. The criminal justice-social
services alliance operates on the general belief
that the women they police and otherwise regulate
choose sex work as a result of traumatization,
rather than acknowledging the fact that
socioeconomic realities often inform their choices.
Reaching beyond disciplinary silos by combining
the analysis of an anthropologist and a legal
scholar, Women of the Street offers an evidencebased argument for the decriminalization of
prostitution.

Marcia C. Inhorn, author of
Cosmopolitan Conceptions: IVF
Sojourns in Global Dubai
Transnational Reproduction traces the relationships

among Western aspiring parents, Indian surrogates,
and egg donors from around the world. In the
early 2010s India was one of the top providers
of surrogacy services. Drawing on interviews
with commissioning parents, surrogates, and egg
donors as well as doctors and family members,
Daisy Deomampo argues that while the surrogacy
industry in India offers a clear example of
stratified reproductionthe ways in which
political, economic, and social forces structure
the conditions under which women carry out
physical and social reproductive laborit also
complicates that concept as the various actors in
this reproductive work struggle to understand their
relationships to one another.
The book shows how these actors make sense
of their connections, illuminating the ways in
which kinship ties are challenged, transformed,
or reinforced in the context of transnational
gestational surrogacy. It demonstrates that
while reproductive actors share a common quest
for conception, they make sense of family in
the context of globalized assisted reproductive
technologies in very different ways. In doing
so, Deomampo uncovers the specific racial
reproductive imaginaries that underpin the unequal
relations at the heart of transnational surrogacy.

Japanese American
Ethnicity
In Search of Heritage and Homeland
Across Generations
Takeyuki Tsuda
In drawing and reflecting upon

the voices and experiences of
different generational cohorts,
Tsuda not only fills a void in
Japanese American studies but
expands our very understanding
of the concept of ethnic
heritage.
Michael Omi,
University of California, Berkeley
As one of the oldest groups

of Asian Americans in
the United States, most Japanese Americans
are culturally assimilated and well-integrated in
mainstream American society. In Japanese American
Ethnicity, Takeyuki Tsuda explores the contemporary
ethnic experiences of Japanese Americans from
the second to the fourth generations and the extent
to which they remain connected to their ancestral
cultural heritage. He places Japanese Americans
in transnational and diasporic context and also
analyzes the performance of ethnic heritage
through the example of taiko drumming ensembles.
Drawing on extensive fieldwork with Japanese
Americans in San Diego and Phoenix, Tsuda argues
that the ethnicity of immigrant-descent minorities
does not simply follow a linear trajectory. Increasing
cultural assimilation does not always erode the
significance of ethnic heritage and identity over
the generations. Instead, each new generation of

Junaid Rana, author of
Terrifying Muslims: Race and Class in the South Asian
Diaspora
This groundbreaking study of race, religion, and
popular culture in the 21st century United States
focuses on a new concept, Muslim Cool. Muslim
Cool is a way of being an American Muslim
displayed in ideas, dress, and social activism in the
hood, and in complex relationships to state power.
Constructed through hip hop and the performance
of Blackness, Muslim Cool is a way of engaging
with the Black American experience by both Black
and non-Black young Muslims that challenges
racist norms in the U.S. as well as dominant ethnic
and religious structures within American Muslim
communities.
Drawing on over two years of ethnographic
research, Suad Khabeer illuminates the ways in
which young and multiethnic U.S. Muslims draw on
Blackness to construct their identities as Muslims.
By countering the notion that Blackness and the
Muslim experience are fundamentally distinet,
Muslim Cool poses a critical challenge to dominant
ideas that Muslims are foreign to the United
States and puts Blackness at the center of the
study of American Islam.

Rethinking How Technology Shapes Our
World
Ramesh Srinivasan
In the digital age, technology has shrunk the physical
world into a global village, where we all seem to be
connected as an online community as information
travels to the farthest reaches of the planet with the
click of a mouse. Yet while we think of platforms
such as Twitter and Facebook as open and accessible
to all, in reality, these are commercial entities
developed primarily by and for the Western world.
Considering how new technologies increasingly shape
labor, economics, and politics, these tools often
reinforce the inequalities of globalization, rarely
reflecting the perspectives of those at the bottom of
the digital divide.
RAMESH SRINIVASAN is the Director of

the Digital Cultures Lab and Associate
Professor of Information Studies and Design
and Media Arts at UCLA. His work has been
featured by Al Jazeera, The Washington Post,
The Young Turks, National Public Radio, and
The Huffington Post.
This book asks us to re-consider whose global

village we are shaping with the digital technology
revolution today. Sharing stories of collaboration
with Native Americans in California and New Mexico,
revolutionaries in Egypt, communities in rural India,
and others across the world, Ramesh Srinivasan
urges us to re-imagine what the Internet, mobile
phones, or social media platforms may look like
when considered from the perspective of diverse
cultures. Such collaborations can pave the way
for a people-first approach toward designing and
working with new technology worldwide. Whose Global
Village seeks to inspire professionals, activists, and
scholars alike to think about technology in a way
that embraces the realities of communities too
often relegated to the margins. We can then start to
visualize a world where technologies serve diverse
communities rather than just the Western consumer.

Anna Kirkland
Patricia Illingworth and Wendy E. Parmet

Vaccine Court provides
historical, political, and social
context to our countrys
unprecedented attempt to
resolve the conflict between
those certain of vaccine harms
and the science that may or may
not support their claims. In a
compelling and sympathetic
manner, Kirkland explores the
murky netherworld between
science, where truths are often
determined by decades of study,
and court, where truths are determined after a few weeks of
testimony.
Paul A. Offit, M.D., author of
Deadly Choices: How the Anti-Vaccine
Movement Threatens Us All
The so-called vaccine court is a small special court
in the United States Court of Federal Claims that
handles controversial claims that a vaccine has
harmed someone. Here, lawyers, activists, judges,
doctors, and scientists come together trying
to figure out whether a vaccine really caused a
persons medical problem.
In Vaccine Court, Anna Kirkland explores how legal
institutions resolve complex scientific questions.
What are vaccine injuries, and how do we come to
recognize them? What does it mean to transform
these questions into a legal problem and funnel
them through a special national vaccine court?
What does justice require for vaccine injury
claims, and how can we deliver it? These are highly
contested questions, and the terms in which they
have been debated over the last forty years are
highly revealing of deeper fissures. While many
scholars argue that its foolish to let judges and
lawyers decide medical claims, Kirkland argues
that our political and legal response to vaccine
injury claims shows how well legal institutions can
handle specialized scientific matters. Vaccine Court
is an accessible and thorough account of what the
vaccine court is, why we have it, and what it does.
Immigration and health

care are hotly debated
NEWCOMERS
and contentious issues.
Policies that relate to
both issuesto the health
of newcomersoften
reflect mis-impressions
about immigrants, and
their impact on health
care systems. Despite
the fact that immigrants
are typically younger and
healthier than natives, and that many immigrants
play a vital role as care-givers in their new lands,
native citizens are often reluctant to extend basic
health care to immigrants, choosing instead to
let them suffer, to let them die prematurely, or to
expedite their return to their home lands. Likewise,
many nations turn against immigrants when
epidemics such as Ebola strike, under the false
belief that native populations can be kept well only
if immigrants are kept out.
THE

Patricia Illingworth and Wendy E. Parmet
In The Health of Newcomers, Patricia Illingworth and

Wendy E. Parmet demonstrate how shortsighted
and dangerous it is to craft health policy on the
basis of ethnocentrism and xenophobia. Because
health is a global public good and people benefit
from the health of neighbor and stranger alike, it
is in everyones interest to ensure the health of all.
Drawing on rigorous legal and ethical arguments
and empirical studies, as well as deeply personal
stories of immigrant struggles, Illingworth and
Parmet make the compelling case that global
phenomena such as poverty, the medical brain
drain, organ tourism, and climate change ought to
inform the health policy we craft for newcomers and
natives alike.

parole? This book answers
these questions by mining
previously unexplored evidence held in official
pardon registers, clemency files, prisoner aid
association reports and parole records.
DISCRETIONARY
This is the first book to analyze the histories

of mercy and parole through the same lens, as
related but distinct forms of discretionary decisionmaking. It draws on governors public papers and
private correspondence to probe their approach to
clemency, and it uses qualitative and quantitative
methods to profile petitions for mercy, highlighting
controversial cases that stirred public debate.
Political pressure to render the use of discretion
more certain and less personal grew stronger
over the nineteenth century, peaking during
constitutional conventions and reaching its height in
the Progressive Era. Yet, New Yorks legislators left
the power to pardon in the governors hands, where
it remains today.
Unlike previous works that portray parole as the
successor to the pardon, this book shows that
reliance upon and faith in discretion has proven
remarkably resilient, even in the state that led the
world toward penal modernity.

TJ Boisseau, Purdue University
Much has been written about womens rights

pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Historians have
written her biography, detailed her campaign for
womans suffrage, documented her partnership
with Susan B. Anthony, and compiled all of her
extensive writings and papers. Stanton herself
was a prolific author; her autobiography, History of
Woman Suffrage, and Womans Bible are classics.
Despite this body of work, scholars and feminists
continue to find new and insightful ways to reexamine Stanton and her impact on womens rights
and history.
Law scholar Tracy A. Thomas extends this
discussion of Stantons impact on modern-day
feminism by analyzing her intellectual contributions
toand personal experiences withfamily
law. Stantons work on family issues has been
overshadowed by her work (especially with Susan B.
Anthony) on womans suffrage. But throughout her
fifty-year career, Stanton emphasized reform of the
private sphere of the family as central to achieving
womens equality. Using feminist legal theory as
a lens to interpret Stantons political, legal, and
personal work on the family, Thomas argues that
Stantons positions on divorce, working mothers,
domestic violence, childcare, and many other topics
were strikingly progressive for her time, providing
significant parallels from which to gauge the social
and legal policy issues confronting women in
marriage and the family today.

Challenging the Assumptions of
Intellectual Property
Edited by Kate Darling and Aaron Perzanowski

Intellectual property law, or IP law, is based on
certain assumptions about creative behavior. The
case for regulation assumes that creators have a
fundamental legal right to prevent copying, and
without this right they will under-invest in new work.
But this premise fails to fully capture the reality of
creative production. It ignores the range of powerful
non-economic motivations that compel creativity,
and it overlooks the capacity of creative industries
for self-governance and innovative social and market
responses to appropriation.
This book reveals the on-the-ground practices of
a range of creators and innovators. In doing so,
it challenges intellectual property orthodoxy by
showing that incentives for creative production often
exist in the absence of, or in disregard for, formal
legal protections. Instead, these communities rely
on evolving social norms and market responses
sensitive to their particular cultural, competitive,
and technological circumstancesto ensure creative
incentives. From tattoo artists to medical researchers,
Nigerian filmmakers to roller derby players, the
communities illustrated in this book demonstrate
that creativity can thrive without legal incentives,
and perhaps more strikingly, that some creative
communities prefer, and thrive, in environments
defined by self-regulation rather than legal rules.
Beyond their value as descriptions of specific
industries and communities, the accounts collected
here help to ground debates over IP policy in the
empirical realities of the creative process. Their
parallels and divergences also highlight the value
of rules that are sensitive to the unique mix of
conditions and motivations of particular industries
and communities, rather than the monoculture of
uniform regulation of the current IP system.

Suspect Freedoms
Drawdown
The Racial and Sexual Politics of Cubanidad

in New York, 1823-1957
The American Way of Postwar

Edited by Jason W. Warren
Nancy Raquel Mirabal

Beginning in the early
nineteenth century, Cubans
migrated to New York City to
organize and protest against
Spanish colonial rule.
While revolutionary wars
raged in Cuba, expatriates
envisioned, dissected,
and redefined meanings
of independence and
nationhood. An underlying
element was the concept
of Cubanidad, a shared sense of what it meant
to be Cuban. Deeply influenced by discussions
of slavery, freedom, masculinity, and United
States imperialism, the question of what and who
constituted being Cuban remained in flux and
often, suspect.
SUSPECT
FREEDOMS
The Racial and Sexual Politics

of Cubanidad in New York,
1823-1957
NANCY R AQUEL MIR ABA L
The first book to explore Cuban racial and sexual

politics in New York during the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries, Suspect Freedoms chronicles
the largely unexamined and often forgotten history
of more than a hundred years of Cuban exile,
migration, diaspora, and community formation.
Nancy Mirabal delves into the rich cache of primary
sources to write what Michel Rolph Trouillot has
termed an unthinkable history. Situating this
pivotal era within larger theoretical discussions of
potential, future, visibility, and belonging, Mirabal
shows how these transformations complicated
meanings of territoriality, gender, race, power,
and labor. She argues that slavery, nation, and
the fear that Cuba would become another Haiti
were critical in the making of early diasporic
Cubanidades, and documents how, by the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, AfroCubans were authors of their own experiences;
organizing movements, publishing texts, and
establishing important political, revolutionary, and
social clubs.

T WAR
In Drawdown, the contributors

explain how and why America,
despite repeated lessons, failed
to sustain ready military forces
in sufficient scale to secure
the nation. Jason Warren has
pulled together well-researched
and accessible essays that
shed light and understanding
on the cultural, political,
strategic, and financial causes
of unpreparedness.
General H.R. McMaster, author
of Dereliction of Duty
While traditionally Americans view an expensive

military structure as a poor investment and a threat
to liberty, they also require a guarantee of that very
freedom, necessitating the employment of armed
forces. Beginning with the seventeenth-century
wars of the English colonies, Americans typically
increased their military capabilities at the beginning
of conflicts only to decrease them at the apparent
conclusion of hostilities. In Drawdown: The American
Way of Postwar, a stellar team of military historians
argue that the United States sometimes managed
effective drawdowns, yet at other times, the drawing
down of military capabilities undermined our
readiness and flexibility, leading to more costly
wars and perhaps defeat.
With the termination of large-scale operations in
Iraq and the winnowing of forces in Afghanistan,
the United States military once again faces a
significant drawdown in standing force structure
and capabilities. The political and military
debate currently raging around how best to affect
this force reduction continues to lack a proper
historical perspective. This volume aspires to
inform this dialogue. Not a traditional military
history, Drawdown analyzes cultural attitudes,
political decisions, and institutions surrounding the
maintenance of armed forces.

Wellmanreanimates this
black nationalist enclave in the
boroughs eastern Bedford Hills,
which by the Civil War had more
than 500 residents.
The New York Times
Not a novel, but nevertheless a

fascinating story of Weeksville,
the little-known community of
free blacks in what is today Crown Heights. Nearly lost to
demolition, Weeksville was rediscovered in 1966 and is
today home to several restored houses and a handsome
new welcome center. Wellman tells the whole story, from
the villages roots in the 1830s to its near fall into oblivion
in the late 20th century.
Newsweek.com
Judith Wellman
Weeksville was founded by African American

entrepreneurs after slavery ended in New York
State in 1827. Located in eastern Brooklyn,
Weeksville provided a space of physical safety,
economic prosperity, education, and even political
power for its black population, who organized
churches, a school, orphan asylum, home for
the aged, newspapers, and the national African
Civilization Society. Notable residents of Weeksville,
such as journalist and educator Junius P. Morell,
participated in every major national effort for
African American rights, including the Civil War.
In Brooklyns Promised Land, Judith Wellman not
only tells the important narrative of Weeksvilles
growth, disappearance, and eventual rediscovery,
but also highlights the stories of the people
who created this community. Drawing on maps,
newspapers, census records, photographs, and
the material culture of buildings and artifacts,
Wellman reconstructs the social history and
national significance of this extraordinary place.
Through the lens of this local community, Brooklyns
Promised Land highlights themes still relevant to
African Americans across the country.
Northern Racial Liberalism in Interwar Detroit

Karen R. Miller
In the wake of the Civil
War, many white northern
leaders supported raceneutral laws and antidiscrimination statutes.
These positions helped
amplify the distinctions
they drew between their
political economic system,
which they saw as forwardthinking in its promotion
of free market capitalism,
and the now vanquished southern system, which
had been built on slavery. But this interest in legal
race neutrality should not be mistaken for an effort
to integrate northern African Americans into the
state or society on an equal footing with whites.
During the Great Migration, which brought tens of
thousands of African Americans into northern cities
after World War I, white northern leaders faced new
challenges from both white and African American
activists and were pushed to manage race relations
in a more formalized and proactive manner.
MANAGING
INEQUALITY
NORTHERN RACIAL
LIBERALISM IN
INTERWAR DETROIT
KAREN R. MILLER
The result was northern racial liberalism: the idea

that all Americans, regardless of race, should
be politically equal, but that the state cannot
and indeed should not enforce racial equality
by interfering with existing social or economic
relations. In Managing Inequality, Karen R. Miller
examines the formulation, uses, and growing
political importance of northern racial liberalism
in Detroit between the two World Wars. Miller
argues that racial inequality was built into the
liberal state at its inception, rather than produced
by antagonists of liberalism. Managing Inequality
shows that our current racial systemwhere
race neutral language coincides with extreme
racial inequalities that appear natural rather than
politicalhas a history that is deeply embedded in
contemporary governmental systems and political
economies.

about the American Revolution

Kirkus Reviews
A challenging and potentially

explosive critique of foundational myths of liberty and
rebellion.
The American Historical Review
The successful 1776 revolt against British rule in
North America has been hailed almost universally as
a great step forward for humanity. In this trailblazing
book, Gerald Horne shows that in the prelude
to 1776, the abolition of slavery seemed all but
inevitable in London, delighting Africans as much as
it outraged slaveholders, and sparking the colonial
revolt.
Prior to 1776, anti-slavery sentiments were
deepening throughout Britain and in the Caribbean.
For European colonists in America, the major
threat to their security was a foreign invasion
combined with an insurrection of the enslaved. It
was a real and threatening possibility that London
would impose abolition throughout the coloniesa
possibility the founding fathers feared would bring
slave rebellions to their shores. To forestall it, they
went to war.
Schocket is an opinionated
and sometimes cynical writer
who makes his argument
which is that institutions and
politicians use the founding
fathers for commercial and
political purposeswith direct
and provocative examples...
Schocket covers a lot of ground
in an accessible and entertaining
style
Publishers Weekly
Fighting over the Founders is copious and entertaining.
It leaves little doubt that sharp divisions in our collective
memory about the Revolution reflect and shape equally
sharp political contests.
Claremont Review of Books
The American Revolution is all around us. It is
pictured as big as billboards and as small as
postage stamps, evoked in political campaigns and
car advertising campaigns, relived in museums
and revised in computer games. As the nations
founding moment, the American Revolution serves
as a source of powerful founding myths, and
remains the most accessible and most contested
event in U.S. history: more than any other, it stands
as a proxy for how Americans perceive the nations
aspirations. Americans increased fascination with
the Revolution over the past two decades represents
more than interest in the past. Its also a site to
work out the present, and the future. What are we
using the Revolution to debate?
The so-called Revolutionary War, Horne writes, was in

part a counter-revolution, a conservative movement
that the founding fathers fought in order to preserve
their right to enslave others. The Counter-Revolution of
1776 brings us to a radical new understanding of the
traditional heroic creation myth of the United States.
In Fighting over the Founders, Andrew M. Schocket

shows how todays memories of the American
Revolution reveal Americans conflicted ideas about
class, about race, and about genderas well as the
nature of history itself. Fighting over the Founders
plumbs our views of the past and the present, and
illuminates our ideas of what United States means
to its citizens in the new millennium.

constitutes a white person in this country. Many of
the European immigrant groups now considered
white also had to struggle with their own racial
identities.
In A Great Conspiracy against Our Race, Peter Vellon
explores how the immigrant press was a site where
socially constructed categories of race, color,
civilization, and identity were reworked, created,
contested, and negotiated. Vellon also uncovers
how Italian immigrants filtered societal pressures
and redefined the parameters of whiteness,
constructing their own identity. This work is an
important contribution to not only Italian American
history, but Americas history of immigration and
race.

The majority of Jewish immigrants who made
their way to the United States between 1820 and
1924 arrived nearly penniless; yet today their
descendants stand out as exceptionally successful.
How can we explain their dramatic economic
ascent? Have Jews been successful because of
cultural factors distinct to them as a group, or
because of the particular circumstances that they
encountered in America?
Comparing the history of Jewish participation
within the clothing trade in the United States with
that of Jews in the same business in England, The
Rag Race demonstrates that differences within the
garment industry on either side of the Atlantic
contributed to a very real divergence in social and
economic outcomes for Jews in each setting.

Barzilai certainly puts her finger on a central

and intellectually venturesome.

MAYA BARZILAI is Assistant Professor of
Hebrew Literature and Jewish Culture at the
University of Michigan.
In the 1910s and 1920s, a golem cult swept across

Europe and the U.S., later landing in Israel. Why
did this story of a powerful clay monster molded
and animated by a rabbi to protect his community
so popular and pervasive? The golem appears in a
remarkable range of literary and popular culture:
from the Yiddish theater to American comic books,
from German silent film to Quentin Tarantino movies.
The dramatic evolution of the golemfrom its origins
as a Jewish mystical object and legendary servant
to its development into a muscular combatant and
even avenging angelis made comprehensible by,
and also helps us to better understand, one of the
defining aspects of the last one hundred years: mass
warfare and its ancillary technologies.
In the twentieth century the golem became a figure
of war. It represented the chaos of warfare, the
automation of war technologies, and the devastation
wrought upon soldiers bodies and psyches. Golem:
Modern Wars and Their Monsters draws on some of
the most popular and significant renditions of this
story in order to unravel the paradoxical coincidence
of wartime destruction and the fantasy of artificial
creation. Due to its aggressive and rebellious sides,
the golem became a means for reflection about how
technological progress has altered human lives, as
well as an avenue for experimentation with the media
and art forms capable of expressing the monstrosity
of war.

years, Jacobss contribution is

Wendy Cadge, Brandeis
University
Over the last two decades, the cross-generational

transmission of trauma has become an important
area of research within both Holocaust studies
and the more broad study of genocide. The impact
of social memory on the construction of survivor
identities among succeeding generations has
not yet been adequately explained. Moreover, the
importance of gender to the intergenerational
transmission of trauma has, for the most
part, been overlooked. In The Holocaust Across
Generations, Janet Jacobs fills these significant gaps
in the study of traumatic transference.
The volume brings together the study of postHolocaust family culture with the study of collective
memory. It explores the social structuressuch as
narratives, rituals, belief systems, and memorial
sitesthrough which the collective memory of
trauma is transmitted within families, examining
the social relations of traumatic inheritance
among children and grandchildren of Holocaust
survivors. Within this analytic framework, feminist
theory and the importance of gender are brought
to bear on the study of traumatic inheritance and
the formation of trauma-based identities among
Holocaust carrier groups.

In the Haitian diaspora, as

in Haiti itself, the majority
of Haitians have long practiced Catholicism or
Vodou. However, Protestant forms of Christianity
now flourish both in Haiti and beyond. In the
Bahamas, where approximately one in five people
are now Haitian-born or Haitian-descended,
Protestantism has become the majority religion for
immigrant Haitians.
In My Soul Is in Haiti, Bertin M. Louis, Jr. has
combined multi-sited ethnographic research
in the United States, Haiti, and the Bahamas
with a transnational framework to analyze why
Protestantism has appealed to the Haitian diaspora
community in the Bahamas. This important look at
transnational migration between second and third
world countries shows how notions of nationalism
among Haitian migrants in the Bahamas are filtered
through their religious beliefs. By studying local
transformations in the Haitian diaspora of the
Bahamas, Louis offers a greater understanding
of the spread of Protestant Christianity, both
regionally and globally

African America,

Post-Humanist
Spain, and
Critique
In Archives of Flesh, Robert Reid-Pharr reveals the

deep history of intellectual engagement between
African America and Spain. Opening a fascinating
window onto black and anti-Fascist intellectual life
from 1898 through the mid-1950s, Reid-Pharr argues
that key institutions of Western Humanism, including
American colleges and universities, developed in
intimate relation to slavery, colonization, and white
supremacy. This retreat to rigidly established
philosophical and critical traditions can never fully
addressor even fully recognizethe deep-seated
hostility to black subjectivity underlying the humanist
ideal of a transcendent Manhood.
Calling for a specifically anti-white supremacist
reexamination of the archives of black subjectivity
and resistance, Reid-Pharr enlists the principles of
post-humanist critique in order to investigate decades
of intimate dialogues between African American and
Spanish intellectuals, including Salaria Kea, Federico
Garcia Lorca, Nella Larsen, Langston Hughes, Richard
Wright, Chester Himes, Lynn Nottage, and Pablo
Picasso. In the process Reid-Pharr takes up the
African American Spanish Archive in order to resist
the anti-corporeal, anti-black, anti-human biases that
stand at the heart of Western Humanism.

Leah Perry
Since the attacks of 9/11,

the banner of national
security has led to intense
monitoring of the politics
of Muslim and Arab
Americans. Young people
from these communities
have come of age in a
time when the question of
political engagement is both
urgent and fraught.
In The 9/11 Generation, Sunaina Marr Maira uses

extensive ethnography to understand the meaning
of political subjecthood and mobilization for Arab,
South Asian, and Afghan American youth. Maira
explores how young people from communities
targeted in the War on Terror engage with the
political, forging coalitions based on new racial
and ethnic categories, even while they are under
constant scrutiny and surveillance, and organizing
around notions of civil rights and human rights.
The 9/11 Generation explores the possibilities and
pitfalls of rights-based organizing at a moment
when the vocabulary of rights and democracy has
been used to justify imperial interventions, such
as the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Maira
further reconsiders political solidarity in crossracial and interfaith alliances at a time when U.S.
nationalism is understood as not just multicultural
but also post-racial. Throughout, she weaves stories
of post-9/11 youth activism through key debates
about neoliberal democracy, the radicalization of
Muslim youth, gender, and humanitarianism.

The Cultural Politics of U.S.

Immigration
In the 1980s, amid

increasing immigration
from Latin America, the
Caribbean, and Asia,
the circle of who was
considered American
seemed to broaden,
reflecting the democratic
gains made by racial
minorities and women.
LEAH PERRY
Although this expanded
circle was increasingly
visible in the daily lives of Americans through
TV shows, films, and popular news media, these
gains were circumscribed by the discourse that
certain immigrants, for instance single and working
mothers, were feared, censured, or welcome
exclusively as laborers.
GENDER,
RACE,
AND
MEDIA
In The Cultural Politics of U.S. Immigration, Leah

Perry argues that 1980s immigration discourse in
law and popular media was a crucial ingredient in
the cohesion of the neoliberal idea of democracy.
Blending critical legal analysis with a feminist
media studies methodology over a range of
sources, including legal documents , congressional
debates, and popular media, such as Golden
Girls, Whos the Boss?, Scarface, and Mi Vida
Loca, Perry shows how even while multicultural
immigrants were embraced, they were at the same
time disciplined through gendered discourses of
respectability. Examining the relationship between
law and culture, this book weaves questions of legal
status and gender into existing discussions about
race and ethnicity to revise our understanding of
both neoliberalism and immigration.

Strange Fruit of the Black

Eva Cherniavsky
Imperialisms Racial Justice and Its Fugitives

Vince Schleitwiler
Neocitizenship explores
how the constellation of
political and economic
forces of neoliberalism
have assailed and arguably
dismantled the institutions
of modern democratic
governance in the U.S.
As overtly oligarchical
structures of governance
replace the operations of
representative democracy,
the book addresses the implications of this crisis
for the practices and imaginaries of citizenship
through the lens of popular culture. Rather than
impugn the abject citizen-subject who embraces her
degraded condition, Eva Cherniavsky asks what new
or hybrid forms of civic agency emerge as popular
sovereignty recedes.

Drawing on a range of political theories,
Neocitizenship also suggests that theory is at a
disadvantage in thinking the historical present,
since its analytical categories are wrought in
the very historical contexts whose dissolution
we now seek to comprehend. Cherniavsky thus
supplements theory with a focus on popular
culture that explores the de-democratization for
citizenship in more generative and undecided ways.
Tracing the contours of neocitizenship in fiction
through examples such as The White Boy Shuffle
and Distraction, television shows like Battlestar
Galactica, and in the design of American studies
abroad, Neocitizenship aims to take the measure of
a transformation in process, while evading the twin
lures of optimism and regret.

fiction. Convening around
the prolific slavery
narratives that lie at the
heart of contemporary
black literary studies, Aida Levy-Hussens argument
develops on two levels: as a textual analysis of
black historical fiction, and as a critical examination
of the reading practices that characterize the
scholarship of our time.

Examining a body of novels written after the Civil
Rights era, including works by Toni Morrison, David
Bradley, Octavia Butler, Charles Johnson, and
others, Levy-Hussen engages the charged debate
over how these writers and their critics understand
the work of black literature and its preoccupation
with narratives of slavery. Through a series of
readings informed by psychoanalysis, affect
theory, memory studies, and feminist and queer
theory, she reveals how social injury and collective
grief inhabit and drive post-Civil Rights African
Americanist discourses. Levy-Hussen contends
that rather than wed ourselves to a therapeutic
mode of reading (the idea that working through
historical trauma will enable psychic healing in the
present) or prohibitive reading (the belief that
such fictions of historical return are dangerous
and to be avoided), we must develop a supple
method of reading and interpretation that attends
to the indirect, unexpected, and opaque workings
of historical fantasy and desire. Moving beyond
the redemption of historical wounds, Levy-Hussen
makes a crucial intervention into African American
literary studies, proposing new ways to read African

Race and the Cultural Politics of
Listening
Jennifer Lynn Stoever
African America,
Spain, and
Post-Humanist
Race is a visual phenomenon, the ability to see

difference. At least that is what conventional
wisdom has lead us to believe. Yet, The Sonic Color
Line argues that American ideologies of white
supremacy are just as dependent on what we hear
voices, musical taste, volumeas they are on skin
color or hair texture. Reinforcing compelling new
ideas about the relationship between race and sound
with meticulous historical research, Jennifer Lynn
Stoever helps us to better understand how sound
and listening not only register the racial politics
of our world, but actively produce them. Through
analysis of the historical traces of sounds of African
American performers, Stoever reveals a host of
racialized aural representations operating at the level
of the unseenthe sonic color lineand exposes
the racialized listening practices she figures as the
listening ear.
Using an innovative multimedia archive spanning
100 years of American history (1845-1945) and
several artistic genresthe slave narrative, opera,
the novel, so-called dialect stories, folk and blues,
early sound cinema, and radio dramaThe Sonic
Color Line explores how black thinkers conceived
the cultural politics of listening at work during
slavery, Reconstruction, and Jim Crow. By amplifying
Harriet Jacobs, Frederick Douglass, Elizabeth Taylor
Greenfield, Charles Chesnutt, The Fisk Jubilee
Singers, Ann Petry, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Lena
Horne as agents and theorists of sound, Stoever
provides a new perspective on key canonical works
in African American literary history. In the process,
she radically revises the established historiography
of sound studies. The Sonic Color Line sounds out
how Americans have created, heard, and resisted
race, so that we may hear our contemporary world
differently.

The Latino Nineteenth Century
Mapping the U.S. Racial Imagination in

Brown and White
Edited by Rodrigo Lazo and Jesse Alemn
Lee Bebout
Historically, ideas
of whiteness and
L ee Bebou t
Americanness have been
built on the backs of
racialized communities.
The legacy of anti-Mexican
stereotypes stretches back
to the early nineteenth
on the
century when AngloBorder
American settlers first came
into regular contact with
Mexico and Mexicans. The
images of the Mexican Other as lawless, exotic,
or non-industrious continue to circulate today
within US popular and political culture. Through
keen analysis of music, film, literature, and US
politics, Whiteness on the Border demonstrates how
contemporary representations of Mexicans and
Chicano/as are pushed further to foster the idea of
whiteness as Americanness.

Illustrating how the ideologies, stories, and images
of racial hierarchy align with and support those
of fervent US nationalism, Lee Bebout maps the
relationship between whiteness and American
exceptionalism. He examines how renderings of
the Mexican Other have expressed white fear, and
formed a besieged solidarity in anti-immigrant
rhetoric and policies. Moreover, Whiteness on
the Border elucidates how seemingly positive
representations of Mexico and Chicano/as are
actually used to reinforce investments in white
American goodness and obscure systems of racial
inequality. Whiteness on the Border pushes readers to
consider how the racial logic of the past continues
to thrive in the present.

Authenticity in the Cultural Expressions of

A Late Romano-Egyptian House in Dakleh

The Iran-Iraq War was the

longest conventional war
of the 20th century. The
memory of it may have
faded in the wake of more
Moments of Silence
recent wars in the region,
but the harrowing facts
remain: over one million
soldiers and civilians dead,
millions more permanently
displaced and disabled, and
an entire generation marked
by prosthetic implants and teenage martyrdom.
These same facts have been instrumentalized
by agendas both foreign and domestic, but also
aestheticized, defamiliarized, readdressed and
reconciled by artists, writers, and filmmakers
across an array of identities. Official discourses
have unsurprisingly tried to dominate the process
of production and distribution of war narratives.
In doing so, they have ignored and silenced other
voices.
This archaeological report

provides a comprehensive
study of the excavations
carried out at Amheida
House B2 in Egypts
Dakhleh Oasis between
2005 and 2007, followed
by three study seasons
between 2008 and 2010.
The excavations at Amheida
in Egypts western desert,
begun in 2001 under the
aegis of Columbia University and sponsored by
NYU since 2008, are investigating all aspects of
social life and material culture at the administrative
center of ancient Trimithis. The excavations
so far have focused on three areas of this very
large site: a centrally located upper-class fourthcentury AD house with wall paintings, an adjoining
school, and underlying remains of a Roman
bath complex; a more modest house of the third
century; and the temple hill, with remains of the
Temple of Thoth built in the first century AD and of
earlier structures. Architectural conservation has
protected and partly restored two standing funerary
monuments, a mud-brick pyramid and a tower
tomb, both of the Roman period.

Centering on novels, films, memoirs, and poster art

that gave aesthetic expression to the Iran-Iraq War,
the essays gathered in this volume present multiple
perspectives on the wars most complex and
underrepresented narratives. These scholars do not
naively claim to represent an authenticity lacking
in official discourses of the war, but rather, they
call into question the notion of authenticity itself.
Finding, deciding upon, and creating a language
that can convey any sort of truth at allcollective,

This volume presents and discusses the

architecture, artifacts and ecofacts recovered from
B2 in a holistic manner, which has rarely before
been attempted in a full report on the excavation
of a Romano-Egyptian house. The primary aim
of this volume is to combine an architectural and
material-based study with an explicitly contextual
and theoretical analysis. In so doing, it develops a
methodology and presents a case study of how the
rich material remains of Romano-Egyptian houses
may be used to investigate the relationship between
domestic remains and social identity.

Insights into a life of integrity by a master of Arabic eloquence
Of the many compilations of Als words, A Treasury of

Virtues, compiled by the Fatimid Shfi judge al-Qu
(d. 454 H/1062 AD), arguably possesses the broadest
compass of genres and the largest variety of themes.
Included are aphorisms, proverbs, sermons, speeches,
homilies, prayers, letters, dialogues, and verse, all
of which provide instruction on how to be a morally
upstanding human being. The shorter compilation
included here, One Hundred Proverbs, is attributed to
the eminent writer al-Ji (d. 255 H/869 AD). This
volume presents the first English translation of both of
these important collections.

The words of Muammad (d. 11

H/632 AD), Gods messenger and
prophet of Islam, have a special
place in the hearts of his followers.
Assembling Muammads words
has been a major preoccupation for
scholars throughout the fourteen
centuries since his death, resulting
in an abundance of compilations.
One which stands out in particular is
Light in the Heavens (Kitb al-Shihb)
by al-Q al-Qu (d. 454 H/1062
AD), a Shfi judge in the Fatimid
court in Egypt.
Known to us only through North

African manuscripts, and translated
into English for the first time, A
Hundred and One Nights is a marvelous
example of the rich tradition of
popular Arabic storytelling. A
Hundred and One Nights features
an almost entirely different set of
stories, however, each one more
thrilling, amusing, and disturbing
than the last. In them, we encounter
tales of epic warriors, buried
treasures, disappearing brides,
cannibal demon women, fatal
shipwrecks, and clever ruses, where
human strength and ingenuity play
out against a backdrop of inexorable,
inscrutable fate.
From North Africa to India,

generations have used Light in
the Heavens as a teaching text for
children as well as adults, and many
of its 1200 sayings are familiar to
individuals of diverse denominations.
For Muslimswho consider
Muammads teachings the fount of
wisdom and the beacon of guidance
in all thingsthese sayings provide
a direct window into the inspired
vision of one of the most influential
humans to have walked the Earth.

Risible Rhymes
Muammad ibn Maf alSanhr

Edited and Translated by
Humphrey Davies
Written in mid-17th century Egypt,

Risible Rhymes is a short, comic
disquisition on rural verse,
mocking the pretensions and
absurdities of uneducated poets from
Egypts countryside. It combines a
biting satire on Egyptian rural society
with a hilarious parody of the verseand-commentary genre so beloved by
scholars of the day.
Nothing is known about the author,
al-Sanhri, who likely hailed from
Egypts Fayyum region, although
he describes his text as having
been written at the behest of an
unnamed friend. al-Sanhrs Risible
Rhymes provides further evidence
of a hitherto unrecognized genre of
Arabic literature during this period,
namely, mock-scholarly commentary
on verse of supposedly rural
provenance. Using clever literary
analysis and wordplay, this mordant
commentary offers readers a rare
window on rural life in Ottoman-era
Egypt.
HUMPHREY DAVIES is an award-winning

authored, with Madiha Doss, an anthology

The Book of Shalya recounts in gory detail the final

and martial speeches abound as Shalya, the king of the
Madras, is made general of the Kurava army, only to be
slaughtered in his turn.
In one of the most famous passages in Mahabhrata,

Durydhana, the heroic but flawed king of the
Kuravas, meets his end when he is dishonorably
defeated in battle by his arch-enemy, Bhima. Framing
a fascinating account of the sacred sites along the river
Sarsvati, the duel poignantly portrays the downfall of
a once great hero in the face of a new order governed
by Krishna, in which the warrior code is brushed aside
in order to ensure the predestined triumph of the
Pndavas.

Facing the
Anthropocene
Fossil Capitalism and the Crisis of the

Earth System
Ian Angus
Science tells us that a new and dangerous stage in
planetary evolution has begunthe Anthropocene, a
time of rising temperatures, extreme weather, rising
oceans, and mass species extinctions. Humanity
faces not just more pollution or warmer weather,
but a crisis of the Earth System. If business as
usual continues, this century will be marked by
rapid deterioration of our physical, social, and
economic environment. Large parts of Earth will
become uninhabitable, and civilization itself will be
threatened. Facing the Anthropocene shows what has
caused this planetary emergency, and what we must
do to meet the challenge.
A crisp, eloquent, and deeply informed call to
arms by a leading eco-socialist.
Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums and In Praise
of Barbarians: Essays against Empire
IAN ANGUS is editor of the online
ecosocialist journal Climate and Capitalism
and co-author of the Belm Ecosocialist
Declaration. His previous books include Too
Many People? Population, Immigration, and the
Environmental Crisis (with Simon Butler) and
The Global Fight for Climate Justice.
Bridging the gap between Earth System science and

ecological Marxism, Ian Angus examines not only the
latest scientific findings about the physical causes
and consequences of the Anthropocene transition,
but also the social and economic trends that underlie
the crisis. Cogent and compellingly written, Facing
the Anthropocene offers a unique synthesis of natural
and social science that illustrates how capitalisms
inexorable drive for growth, powered by the rapid
burning of fossil fuels that took millions of years to
form, has driven our world to the brink of disaster.
Survival in the Anthropocene, Angus argues, requires
radical social change, replacing fossil capitalism with
a new, ecosocialist civilization.

Creating an Ecological
Society
Toward a Revolutionary Transformation
Sickened by the contamination of their water, their

air, of the Earth itself, more and more people are
coming to realize that it is capitalism that is, quite
literally, killing them. It is now clearer than ever that
capitalism is also degrading the Earths ability to
support other forms of life. Capitalisms imperative
to make profits at all costs and expand without end
is destabilizing the Earths climate, while increasing
human misery and inequality on a planetary scale.
Already, hundreds of millions of people are facing
poverty in the midst of untold wealth, perpetual war,
growing racism, and gender oppression. The need
to organize for social and environmental reforms
has never been greater. But crucial as reforms are,
they cannot solve our intertwined ecological and
social crises. Creating an Ecological Society reveals an
overwhelmingly simple truth: Fighting for reforms is
vital, but revolution is essential.
Because it aims squarely at replacing capitalism
with an ecologically sound and socially just
society, Creating an Ecological Society is filled
with revolutionary hope. Fred Magdoff and Chris
Williams, who have devoted their lives to activism,
Marxist analysis, and ecological science, provide
informed, fascinating accounts of how a new world
can be created from the ashes of the old. Their
book shows that it is possible to envision and create
a society that is genuinely democratic, equitable,
and ecologically sustainable. And possiblenot
one moment too soonfor society to change
fundamentally and be brought into harmony with
nature.

Crisis (with John Bellamy Foster).

Educational Justice
Teaching and Organizing Against the

Corporate Juggernaut
Howard Ryan
That education should instill and nurture democracy
is an American truism. Yet organizations such as
the Business Roundtable, together with conservative
philanthropists such as Bill Gates and Walmarts
owners, the Waltons, have been turning public
schools into corporate mills. Their top-down
programs, such as Common Core State Standards,
track, judge, and homogenize the minds of millions
of American students from kindergarten through
high school. But corporate funders would not be
able to implement this educational control without
the de facto partnership of government at all
levels, channeling public moneys into privatization
initiatives, school closings, and high-stakes testing
that discourages independent thinking.
Howard Ryans book is a celebration of the
growing ranks of educators, parents, and
community organizations successful resistance to
school closures, moribund unionism, high stakes
testing, and undemocratic control of our public
schools. Ryans portrait lifts up how regular people
can reassert democracy through broad-based
coalitions and rank-and-file activism.
Jackson Potter, staff coordinator,
Chicago Teachers Union
HOWARD RYAN has taught college English,
worked for many years in union organizing
and representation in higher education, as
well as in labor journalism. Now retired, he
writes and organizes for quality education in
public schools.
Educational Justice offers hope that theres still

time to take on corporatized schools and achieve
democratic justice in the classroom. Forcefully
written by educator and journalist Howard Ryan,
with contributing authors, the book opens with four
chapters that discuss theories on teacher unionism,
social justice pedagogy, and corporate school reform.
These chapters are balanced with four case-study
chapters documenting exemplary teaching and
school-site organizing practices in the field. Reports
from various educational fronts include innovative
union strategies against charter school expansion,
as well as teaching visions drawn from the vibrant
whole language movement. Bold, informative,
clearly reasoned, this book is an education in
itselfa democratic one at that.

Union Power
The United Electrical Workers in

Erie, Pennsylvania
James Young
If youre lucky enough to be employed today in the
United States, theres about a one-in-ten chance that
youre in a labor union. And even if youre part of
that unionized 10 percent, chances are your union
doesnt carry much economic or political clout.
But this was not always the case, as historian and
activist James Young shows in this vibrant story of
the United Electrical Workers Union. The UE, built
by hundreds of rank-and-file worker-activists in the
quintessentially industrial town of Erie, Pennsylvania,
was able to transform the conditions of the working
class largely because it went beyond the standard
call for living wages to demand quantum leaps
in worker control over workplaces, community
institutions, and the policies of the federal
government itself.
James Youngs book is a richly empowering history
told from below, showing that the collective efforts
of the many can challenge the supremacy of the
few. Eries two UE locals confronted a daunting
array of obstacles: the corporate superpower
General Electric; ferocious red-baiting; and later, the
debilitating impact of globalization. Yet, by working
through and across ethnic, gender, and racial divides,
communities of people built a viable working-class
base powered by real democracy. While the unions
victories could not be sustained completely, the
UE is still alive and fighting in Erie. This book is an
exuberant and eloquent testament to this fight, and a
reminder to every workeremployed or unemployed;
in a union or outthat an injury to one is an injury
to all.
That the United Electrical Workers Union

was still alive at the end of the 1950s, a
decade of red-baiting, raids, and repression
against the labor left, has been considered
a minor miracle. In this wonderfully detailed
account of human courage and solidarity,
based on dozens of interviews with
participants, Jim Young uncovers the secret
behind that miracle. A must-read for labor
activists and students of labor history.

The Syriza Wave
Surging and Crashing with the

Greek Left
Helena Sheehan
Foreword by Stathis Kouvelakis
Utterly corrupt corporate and government elites
bankrupted Greece twice over. First, by profligate
deficit spending benefitting only themselves;
second, by agreeing to an IMF bailout of the Greek
economy, devastating ordinary Greek citizens who
were already enduring government-induced poverty,
unemployment, and hunger. Finally, in response to
dire austerity measures, the people of Greece
stood up, forming, from their own historic roots of
resistance, Syrizathe Coalition of the Radical Left.
For those who caught the Syriza wave, there was,
writes Helena Sheehan, a minute of precarious
hope.
Deeply grounded in philosophy and Marxist

theory, Sheehan shows in plain language that the
leadership of SYRIZA proved vacuous in theory
and opportunist in practice. Her intellectual and
political honesty will be a benchmark in the debate
in the coming years.
Costas Lapavitsas, Professor of Economics at
University of London, and Syriza MP
from January to August 2015
HELENA SHEEHAN is Professor Emerita
at Dublin City University, where she taught
history of ideas and media studies. She is
also the author of several books, including
Marxism and the Philosophy of Science: A
Critical History and Irish Television Drama: A
Society and Its Stories, as well as magazine
articles on politics, culture, and philosophy.
A seasoned activist and participant-observer, Helena

Sheehan adroitly places us at the center of the
whirlwind beginnings of Syriza, its jubilant victory
at the polls, and finally at Syrizas surrender to the
very austerity measures it once vowed to annihilate.
Along the way, she takes time to meet many Greeks
in tavernas, on the street, and in government
offices, engage in debates, and compare Greece
to her own economically blighted country, Ireland.
Beginning as a strong Syriza supporter, Sheehan
sees Syriza transformed from a horizon of hope to
a vortex of despair. But out of the dust of defeat,
she draws questions radiating optimism. Just how
did what was possibly the most intelligent, effective
instrument of the Greek left self-destruct? And what
are the consequences for the Greek people, for the
international left, for all of us driven to work for a
better world? The Syriza Wave is a page-turning blend
of political reportage, personal reflection, and astute
analysis.

Socialist Register 2017
Leo Panitch and Greg Albo
One hundred years ago, October 1917 galvanized

leftists and oppressed peoples around the globe,
and became the lodestar for 20th century politics.
Today, the left needs to reckon with this legacyand
transcend it. Social change, as it was understood in
the 20th century, appears now to be as impossible as
revolution, leaving the left to rethink the relationship
between capitalist crises, as well as the conceptual
tension between revolution and reform.
Populated by an array of passionate thinkers and
thoughtful activists, Rethinking Revolution reappraises
the historical effects of the Russian revolution
positive and negativeon political, intellectual, and
cultural life, and looks at consequent revolutions
after 1917. Change needs to be understood in
relation to the distinct trajectories of radical politics
in different regions. But the main purpose of this
Socialist Register editionone century after Red
Octoberis to look forward, to what might happen
next.
Acclaimed authors interrogate and explore
compelling issues, including:
Greg Albo: New socialist strategiesor detours?
I know the Register very well and have found it

extremely stimulating, often invaluable.
Noam Chomsky
Compulsory reading for people who refuse to be
resigned to the idea that there can be no alternative
to our unacceptable society.

MISSION STATEMENT
Making common cause with the best
and the brightest, the great and the
good, NYU Press aspires to nothing less
than the transformation of the intellectual and cultural landscape. Infused
with the conviction that the ideas of the
academy matter, we foster knowledge
that resonates within and beyond the
walls of the university. If the university
is the public square for intellectual debate, NYU Press is its soapbox, offering
original thinkers a forum for the written
word. Our authors think, teach, and
contend; NYU Press crafts, publishes
and disseminates. Step up, hold forth,
and we will champion your work to
readers everywhere.

1916 a 2016
2016 marks the centennial of NYU Press, which
was founded in 1916 by Chancellor Elmer Ellsworth
Brown with a mission to publish contributions to
higher learning by eminent scholars.
1916 a 2016
Over the course of 100 years, the Press has added

to that mission the aspiration to transform the
intellectual and cultural landscape by publishing
works of outstanding scholarship that resonate
within and beyond the walls of the academy.
1916 a 2016
Looking ahead, we will continue to seek out new

voices, new fields of inquiry, and new viewpoints, and
to embrace our role as Champion of Great Ideas for
another 100 years.
