164039 THE DOZENS: A History of
Rap's Mama
Wald, Elijah
Long before the advent of the rapper,
America's urban neighborhoods were
home to the viciously funny, outrageously
inventive insult game called "the dozens."
In tracing the form and its variations over

culture and music, Wald sheds fascinating
new light on schoolyard games and rural work songs, serious
literature and nightclub comedy, and pop hits from ragtime to
rap. 256pgs. • 2012

postwar era, when the NAACP knocked out the legal underpinnings of the segregation system and set the stage for the
final assault on Jim Crow. 560pgs. • 2010

In a series of elegant and illuminating essays, a renowned
historian explores the ideological origins of the revolution

Twentieth Century
Gerstle, Gary

Arguing that industrialization and the making of the working class in the late-18th-century U.S. were integral to

De Tocqueville, Alexis
In this landmark work, de Tocqueville vividly describes the unprecedented social
equality he found in America and explores
its implications. His book provides enduring insight into the political consequences
of widespread property ownership, the
potential dangers to liberty inherent in
majority rule, the importance of civil institutions in a culture dominated by the pursuit of self-interest,
and the vital role of religion in American life, while prophetically probing the deep divide between free and slave states.

The Innocents Abroad is one of the most prominent and

comic fodder for Mark Twain -- and a remarkably perceptive lens on the human condition. Gleefully skewering the

West, Nathanael
Each of West's novels is distinct in style and
theme. In The Dream Life of Balso Snell, he
freely mixes high-flown literary and religious
allusions with erotic and scatological humor.
Miss Lonelyhearts presents the spiritual breakdown of a newspaper columnist overwhelmed by his readers' suffering; by contrast,
A Cool Million reduces the eternal optimism of Horatio Alger's
novels to a brutal, cartoonish farce. In his last work, The Day of
the Locust, West renders with hallucinatory precision the reverse

Economics
Unger, Roberto Mangabeira
Argues that the movement of people
and ideas is more important than the
movement of things and money, and
that freedom to change the institutions
defining a market economy is as
important as freedom to exchange goods. The book's sustained criticism of the theory and practice of free trade
serves as a point of departure for a proposal to rethink the
basic ideas with which we explain economic activity.

Adam Smith turned economic theory on its head when he

Israel, Jonathan
In recent decades scholars have
argued that the Revolution was
brought about by social forces, politics, economics, or culture -- almost
anything but notions like liberty or
equality, Drawing widely on primary sources, Jonathan
Israel shows how the Revolution was set in motion by radical 18th-century doctrines, how these ideas divided revolutionary leaders into vehemently opposed ideological
blocs, and how these clashes drove the turning points of the
Revolution. 888pgs. • 2014

REVISITINGS
Gill, Stephen
Nothing was more important to
Wordsworth than tracing the evidence that
affinities had been preserved between all
the stages of the life of man. In this beautifully written and thoughtful book,
Wordsworth biographer and editor
Stephen Gill explores the ways in which the
poet sought to maintain such continuities, and shows how
revisitings of various kinds are at the heart of his creativity.

of distinguishing among "persons," "near-persons," and "the
merely sentient" within Harean two-level utilitarianism.

Appraisals, Reasons, and Free Will
Haji, Ishtiyaque
Haji argues that various things that we value, such as moral
and prudential obligation, intrinsic value, and a range of

reasons, the having of which, in turn, demands that we have
alternatives. 304pgs. • 2012
