The Billfish Story
Swordfish, Sailfish, Marlin, and Other Gladiators of the Sea
Stan Ulanski
A natural and cultural history of an iconic Atlantic fish
“Stan Ulanski, himself a scientist and angler, uses his talents in both
arenas to blend the facts of science with the practical aspects of
fishing. The result is a readable and informative account of the billfish
fishery. There is something for everyone with an interest in billfish.”
—Ron Presley, author of Fishing Secrets from Florida’s East Coast
“Ulanski’s book provides the most comprehensive, easy-to-read text
I have seen on the evolution of billfish, their oceanic habitat, and the
sport of billfishing. Nothing escapes his notice. This is an excellent
read for anyone truly interested in billfish.”—Ellen M. Peel, President,
The Billfish Foundation
The billfish is fixed at the apex of the oceanic
food chain. Composed of sailfish, marlin,
spearfish, and swordfish, they roam the
pelagic waters of the Atlantic and are easily
recognized by their long, spear-like beaks.
Noted for their speed, size, and acrobatic
jumps, billfish have for centuries inspired
a broad spectrum of society. Even in
antiquity, Aristotle, who assiduously
studied the swordfish, named this gladiator
of the sea xiphias—the sword.
The Billfish Story tells the saga of this unique
group of fish and those who have formed
bonds with them—relationships forged by
anglers, biologists, charter-boat captains, and
conservationists through their pursuit, study,
and protection of these species. More than
simply reciting important discoveries, Stan
Ulanski argues passionately that billfish
occupy a position of unique importance
in our culture as a nexus linking natural and
human history. Ulanski, both a scientist and
an angler, brings a rich background to the
subject in a multifaceted approach that will
enrich not only readers’ appreciation of
billfish but the whole of the natural world.
stan ulanski is a professor of
meteorology, oceanography, and marine
resources in the Geology and Environmental
Science Department at James Madison
University. He is the author of The Gulf Stream:
Tiny Plankton, Giant Bluefin, and the Amazing
Story of the Powerful River in the Atlantic and

A Sarah Mills Hodge Fund Publication
Donald L. Hollowell and the Struggle for Civil Rights
Maurice C. Daniels
Foreword by Vernon E. Jordan, Jr.
The first biography of a pivotal but unsung
hero of the Civil Rights movement
“Donald Hollowell—a brilliant and courageous lawyer known as Georgia’s ‘Mr. Civil
Rights’—has long deserved a biography to match his talents. In Saving the Soul of Georgia, this lion of the civil rights movement finally receives what he has so richly deserved.
Daniels’s book is a magnificent contribution to the literature on the black freedom
struggle and the local lawyers who helped sustain it.”—Tomiko Brown-Nagin, author of
Courage to Dissent: Atlanta and the Long History of the Civil Rights Movement, winner of
the Bancroft Prize
“Maurice Daniels’s compelling biography of Donald Hollowell shines light on a pioneer attorney whose work in the trenches was absolutely essential to the civil rights
movement. Hollowell was the preferred attorney for the student activists pushing the
struggle forward, his contributions ranging from the back roads of Georgia to federal
courtrooms, from plotting legal strategy to negotiating and advising. Daniels gives us
a wonderful portrait of an important civil rights activist and adds another layer to our
understanding of what it took to create a successful movement.”—Emilye Crosby, editor
of Civil Rights History from the Ground Up: Local Struggles, a National Movement
Donald L. Hollowell was Georgia’s chief civil
rights attorney during the 1950s and 1960s.
In this role he defended African American
men accused or convicted of capital crimes
in a racially hostile legal system, represented
movement activists arrested for their civil
rights work, and fought to undermine the
laws that maintained state-sanctioned racial
discrimination. In Saving the Soul of Georgia,
Maurice C. Daniels tells the story of this behindthe-scenes yet highly influential civil rights lawyer
who defended the rights of blacks and advanced
the cause of social justice in the United States.
Hollowell grew up in Kansas somewhat
insulated from the harsh conditions imposed
by Jim Crow laws throughout the South. As a
young man he served as a Buffalo Soldier in the
legendary Tenth Cavalry, but it wasn’t until after
he fought in World War II that he determined to
become a civil rights attorney. The war was an
eye-opener, as Hollowell experienced the cruel
discrimination of racist segregationist policies.
The irony of defending freedom abroad for the
sake of preserving Jim Crow laws at home steeled
his resolve to fight for civil rights upon returning
from war.
From his legal work in the case of Hamilton E.
Holmes and Charlayne Hunter that desegregated
the University of Georgia to his defense of Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. to his collaboration with
Thurgood Marshall and his service
as the NAACP’s chief counsel in Georgia,
Saving the Soul of Georgia explores the
intersections of Hollowell’s work with the
larger civil rights movement.

Red, White, and Black Make Blue
Indigo in the Fabric of Colonial South Carolina Life
Andrea Feeser
A new history of the indigo trade and its effects
on colonial South Carolina
“Locating indigo production in both a global economy and the history of
enslavement in colonial South Carolina, this book gives us the first tangible
explanation of why indigo was such an important crop. Feeser explains just
what ‘blue’ meant in the eighteenth-century Atlantic world and does it so
well that indigo production makes sense in a way it never has before.”
—Mart A. Stewart, author of “What Nature Suffers to Groe”: Life, Labor, and
Landscape on the Georgia Coast, 1680–1920
“The official state color of South Carolina is indigo. Why? Read Dr. Feeser’s
book. To understand the rich complexities of modern South Carolina, one
needs to recognize the multidimensional past illustrated by South Carolina’s indigo culture. The history is there along with the material culture, and
entwining connections give life and voice to known and unknown characters within a compelling narrative.”—Randy L. Akers, executive director,
The Humanities Council S.C.
Like cotton, indigo has defied its humble origins.
Left alone it might have been a regional plant with
minimal reach, a localized way of dyeing textiles,
paper, and other goods with a bit of blue. But
when blue became the most popular color for the
textiles that Britain turned out in large quantities
in the eighteenth century, the South Carolina
indigo that colored most of this cloth became a
major component in transatlantic commodity
chains. In Red, White, and Black Make Blue, Andrea
Feeser tells the stories of all the peoples who made
indigo a key part of the colonial South Carolina
experience as she explores indigo’s relationships
to land use, slave labor, textile production and use,
sartorial expression, and fortune building.
In the eighteenth century, indigo played
a central role in the development of South
Carolina. The popularity of the color blue
among the upper and lower classes ensured
a high demand for indigo, and the climate in
the region proved sound for its cultivation.
Cheap labor by slaves—both black and Native
American—made commoditization of indigo
possible. And due to land grabs by colonists
from the enslaved or expelled indigenous
peoples, the expansion into the backcountry
made plenty of land available on which to
cultivate the crop. Feeser recounts specific
histories—uncovered for the first time during
her research—of how the Native Americans
and African slaves made the success of indigo
in South Carolina possible. She also emphasizes
the material culture around particular objects,
including maps, prints, paintings, and clothing.
Red, White, and Black Make Blue is a fraught
and compelling history of both exploitation
and empowerment, revealing the legacy of a
modest plant with an outsized impact.
andrea feeser is an associate professor
of art and architectural history at Clemson
University. She is the author of Waikiki: A
History of Forgetting & Remembering.

Johnny Mercer
Southern Songwriter for the World
Glenn T. Eskew
The story of a songsmith “Too Marvelous for Words”
“This book allows us to conceive of ‘southern music’ as an expression of
the southern diaspora, and thereby opens up new ways to think about
Mercer and about the broader landscape of American music.”
—Gavin James Campbell, author of Music and the Making of a New South
“Johnny Mercer, one of Georgia’s—no, one of America’s—greatest natural
resources, is astutely celebrated by this valuable addition to his growing
bibliography.”—Stanley Booth, author of The True Adventures of the
Rolling Stones
John Herndon “Johnny” Mercer (1909–76)
remained in the forefront of American popular
music from the 1930s through the 1960s, writing
over a thousand songs, collaborating with all the
great popular composers and jazz musicians of his
day, working in Hollywood and on Broadway, and
as cofounder of Capitol Records, helping to promote
the careers of Nat “King” Cole, Margaret Whiting,
Peggy Lee, and many other singers. Mercer’s
songs—sung by Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday, Judy
Garland, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett,
Lena Horne, and scores of other performers—are
canonical parts of the great American songbook.
Four songs for which he was the lyricist received
Academy Awards: “Moon River,” “Days of Wine and
Roses,” “On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe,”
and “In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening.” Mercer
standards such as “Hooray for Hollywood” and “You
Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby” remain in the
popular imagination.
Exhaustively researched, Glenn T. Eskew’s
biography improves upon earlier popular
treatments of the Savannah, Georgia–born
songwriter to produce a sophisticated, insightful,
evenhanded examination of one of America’s
most popular and successful chart-toppers. Johnny
Mercer: Southern Songwriter for the World provides
a compelling chronological narrative that places
Mercer within a larger framework of diaspora
entertainers who spread a southern multiracial
culture across the nation and around the world.
Eskew contends that Mercer and much of his
music remained rooted in his native South, being
deeply influenced by the folk music of coastal
Georgia and the blues and jazz recordings made
by black and white musicians. At Capitol Records,
Mercer helped redirect American popular music
by commodifying these formerly distinctive
regional sounds into popular music. When rock ’n’
roll diminished opportunities at home,
Mercer looked abroad, collaborating
with international composers to create
transnational songs.
At heart, Eskew says, Mercer was a jazz stylist
rather than a Tin Pan Alley lyricist, and the
interpenetration of jazz and popular song that he
created expressed elements of his southern heritage
that made his work distinctive and consistently
kept his music before an approving audience.

Drifting into Darien
A Personal and Natural History of the Altamaha River
Janisse Ray
“Every endangered ecosystem should have such an eloquent
spokesman.”—Baily White
“Ray, who danced nature writing into new and fertile terrain with Ecology of a
Cracker Childhood, introduces readers to one of the glories of the South, the
Altamaha River. . . . Ray’s encompassing, gracefully informative homage to what
the Nature Conservancy has designated as one of the ‘75 Last Great Places’ in
the world is ecstatic and incensed.”—Booklist
“Janisse Ray is, and has always been, the real authentic deal. She feels deeply
about the land, the water, the life of this planet. She lives that conviction. And
she is blessed with the gift to write about this earth in a way that touches us all.
From one Georgia girl to another: Janisse, you and your work inspire me. Read
her words. Be inspired.”—Tina McElroy Ansa, author of Baby of the Family, Ugly
Ways, and Taking After Mudear
The Altamaha River rises dark and mysterious
in southeast Georgia. It is deep and wide,
bordered by swamps. Its corridor contains an
extraordinary biodiversity including many rare
and endangered species. Janisse Ray was a babe
in arms when a boat of her father’s construction
cracked open and went down in the mighty
Altamaha. Tucked in a life preserver, she
washed onto a sandbar as the craft sank from
view. That first baptism planted the seed of a
dream to paddle the Altamaha’s entire length
one day and began a lifelong relationship with
a stunning and powerful river that almost
nobody knows.
Drifting into Darien begins with Ray’s
account of finally making that journey. It
offers meditations on the many ways we accept
a world that contains both good and evil.
Commemorating a history that includes logging,
Ray celebrates “a culture that sprang from the
flatwoods, which required a judicious use of
nature.” She looks in vain for an ivorybilled
woodpecker but is equally eager to see any of the
imperiled species found in the river basin: spiny
mussel, American oystercatcher, Radford’s mint,
Alabama milkvine. And she explores both the
need and the possibilities for conservation of the
river and the surrounding forests and wetlands.
With praise, biting satire, and hope, Ray’s
account of her beloved river is both social and
natural history in which she contemplates
transformation and attempts with every
page to settle peacefully into the now.
janisse ray is the author of Pinhook:
Finding Wholeness in a Fragmented Land,
Wild Card Quilt: Taking a Chance on Home,

and The Seed Underground: A Growing

Southern Women: Their Lives and Times
North Carolina Women
Their Lives and Times
Volume I
Edited by Michele Gillespie and Sally G. McMillen
The important role of North Carolina in the
advancement of women’s rights
“The stories in this wonderful addition to the Southern Women: Their Lives
and Times series are a pleasure to read and contemplate. The diversity of
women featured has much to teach us about North Carolina history, as well
as about the larger story of women in the South and, indeed, the nation.”
—Joan Marie Johnson, coeditor, South Carolina Women: Their Lives and Times
“From colonial patriots and slave resisters to Progressive Era reformers and
self-made women, this excellent collection of essays challenges the reader
to recognize the remarkable contributions and sustaining histories of black,
white, and Native American women in the Tar Heel State.”
—Elizabeth Hayes Turner, author of Women and Gender in the New South,
1865–1945
North Carolina has had more than its share
of accomplished, influential women—women
who have expanded their sphere of influence or
broken through barriers that had long defined
and circumscribed their lives, women such as
Elizabeth Maxwell Steele, the widow and tavern
owner who supported the American Revolution;
Harriet Jacobs, runaway slave, abolitionist, and
author of Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl; and
Edith Vanderbilt and Katharine Smith Reynolds,
elite women who promoted women’s equality. This
collection of essays examines the lives and times
of pathbreaking North Carolina women from the
late eighteenth century into the early twentieth
century, offering important new insights into the
variety of North Carolina women’s experiences
across time, place, race, and class, and conveys how
women were able to expand their considerable
influence during periods of political challenge and
economic hardship, particularly over the course of
the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
These essays highlight North Carolina’s
progressive streak and its positive impact on
women’s education—for white and black alike—
beginning in the antebellum period on through
new opportunities that opened up in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They
explore the ways industrialization drew large
numbers of women into the paid labor force for
the first time and what the implications of this
tremendous transition were; they also examine
the women who challenged traditional gender
roles, as political leaders and labor organizers,
as runaways, and as widows. The volume is
especially attuned to differences in region within
North Carolina, delineating women’s experiences
in the eastern third of the state, the piedmont,
and the western mountains.

Through the Arch
An Illustrated Guide to the University of Georgia Campus
Larry B. Dendy
Foreword by F. N. Boney
An illustrated tour through the architectural history of
one of the South’s oldest and most influential universities
guide includes
• 113 color photos throughout
• 19 black-and-white historical photos
• Over 140 profiles of buildings, landmarks, and spaces
• Supplemental sidebars with traditions, lore, facts,
and alumni anecdotes
• 6 maps
“This stunning campus guide documents how our university has balanced
its commitment to preservation and its need for expansion. To discover
this beautiful place where the old and the new, the historic and the
unprecedented, stand side by side, begin here in these pages.”
—Dr. M. Louise McBee, Vice President Emeritus for Academic Affairs
Through the Arch captures UGA’s colorful past,
dynamic present, and promising future in a novel
way: by surveying its buildings, structures, and
spaces. These physical features are the university’s
most visible—and some of its most valuable—
resources. Yet they are largely overlooked, or
treated only passingly, in histories and standard
publications about UGA.
Through text and photographs, this book
places buildings and spaces in the context of
UGA’s development over more than 225 years.
After opening with a brief historical overview
of the university, the book profiles over 140
buildings, landmarks, and spaces, their history,
appearance, and past and current usage, as well
as their namesake, beginning with the oldest
structures on North Campus and progressing to
the newest facilities on South and East Campus
and the emerging Northwest Quadrant. Many
profiles are supplemented with sidebars relating
traditions, lore, facts, or alumni recollections
associated with buildings and spaces.
More than just landmarks or static elements
of infrastructure, buildings and spaces embody
the university’s values, cultural heritage, and
educational purpose. These facilities—many
more than a century old—are where students
learn, explore, and grow and where faculty teach,
research, and create. They harbor the university’s
history and traditions, protect its treasures,
and hold memories for alumni. The repository
for books, documents, artifacts, and tools that
contain and convey much of the accumulated
knowledge and wisdom of human existence, these
structures are the legacy of generations. And they
are tangible symbols of UGA’s commitment to
improve our world through education.

classic georgia reissues
Available again—eight landmark Press titles
In celebration of its seventy-fifth anniversary, the
University of Georgia Press is reissuing eight out-ofprint titles that, when they first appeared, helped to
reinforce our reputation as a distinguished publisher
both of regional- and national-interest books.
Among these eight titles are some of our all-time most
requested out-of-print books, including John Linley’s
Architecture of Middle Georgia and Art Rosenbaum’s
Folk Visions and Voices. All of these books are being
reissued in paperback editions. Four will come out in
the fall of 2013 and are listed on the pages that follow.
The remaining four will appear in the spring of 2014.
Most of the books are rich in photographs. One,
however, offers a trove of letters, while two of them mix
drawings, text, and music with photographs. Yet another
collects some of the best political cartoons produced
in American history. Some of these titles have even
achieved collectable status and, in their original editions,
can command high prices in the used-book market. The
oldest book among our reissues first appeared in 1967;
the newest was initially published in 1997.
From the excesses of the Gilded Age to the want
documented in images of the landscape Flannery
O’Connor wrote about; from the North Georgia hills
to the battlefields of World War II Europe; from folk
pottery to studio photography—these reissues cover a
wide and diverse range of places, people, and subjects.
We are pleased to make these books
available again to the readers who
have been waiting years for them to
reappear. We hope, as well, that
others will discover them anew.

Flannery O’Connor’s Georgia
Photographs and text by Barbara McKenzie
Foreword by Robert Coles
Scenes from middle Georgia that reflect Flannery
O’Connor’s characters and perspective
“Offered here is a wonderfully full sense of place in O’Connor’s
life and fiction. The contrasts are remarkable, and the visual
documentation of both worlds is eloquent.”—Walton Tribune
“Lovers of literature, admirers of artistry, explorers of Georgia will
want this book.”—Macon Telegraph and News
“McKenzie has created a strong sense of place in this collection of
her photographs, which includes scenes of small-town Georgia life as
well as pictures of O’Connor and her family. ‘The South blossoms with
every kind of complication and contradiction,’ O’Connor once said.
Many of them are well documented here.”—Washington Post
Succinct text from photographer Barbara
McKenzie and a foreword by Robert Coles
provide context for this moving collection of
photographs of the middle Georgia Flannery
O’Connor depicted in her fiction. Whether
capturing highway signs proclaiming Christ or
a restaurant five hundred yards up the road, the
frenzied motions of persons seized by the Holy
Spirit, or quiet folks, black and white, sitting
on benches in town squares, these photographs
portray strikingly and sympathetically the world
O’Connor wrote about in her remarkable stories.

Foreword by Pete Seeger
Publication of this book is supported in part by the

A tour of the rural music of North Georgia
and its artisans
“The Rosenbaums have made a splendid contribution to our understanding
of both southern culture and history.”—Georgia Historical Quarterly
“This book shows its editor in the roles of interviewer, interpreter of socialscientific data, annotator, discographer, and artist; he plays them all with
great success. From the beginning of his artistic career, Rosenbaum has
specialized in American folklife scenes. These paintings, depicting the lives
and aspirations of the informants, give the collection an expressiveness we
hardly meet in folksong books.”—Ethnomusicology
“An outstanding documentation of some strong and persistent traditions,
prepared with understanding and deep respect for folk music and its
performers.”—Appalachian Journal
Sampling virtually all of the old-time styles
within the musical traditions still extant
in north Georgia, Folk Visions and Voices
is a collection of eighty-two songs and
instrumentals, enhanced by photographs,
illustrations, biographical sketches of
performers, and examples of their narratives,
sermons, tales, and reminiscences.

The World War II Letters of Barbara Wooddall Taylor
and Charles E. Taylor
Judy Barrett Litoff and David C. Smith
Barbara Wooddall Taylor and Charles E. Taylor
A young couple’s correspondence across the
frontlines and the home front
“In Fairburn, Georgia, when I was growing up, everyone knew them simply as
CharlieandBarbara, one word—for they seemed almost uncannily close, a single
unit of harmony, two parts of a whole. Now everyone who reads this extraordinary
document of love in a time of war will feel the power of that closeness. Miss You is
the quintessential American chronicle, as substantial and rich and enduring as the
Southern earth. Read and cherish it—there are none of us who wouldn’t have chosen
for ourselves such a love as this.”—Anne Rivers Siddons
“A volume that offers extraordinary insight into the daily experiences of Americans
at war.”—Georgia Historical Quarterly
“Their great love—the connecting theme of this wonderful book—is something so
rare it is both beautiful and ennobling.”—Atlanta Journal-Constitution
During World War II, the millions of letters
American servicemen exchanged with their wives
and sweethearts were a lifeline, a vital way of
sustaining morale on both fronts. Intimate and
poignant, Miss You offers a rich selection from
the correspondence of one such couple, revealing
their longings, affection, hopes, and fears and
affording a privileged look at how ordinary
people lived through the upheavals of the last
century’s greatest conflict.

Spanish Sojourns: Robert Henri and the Spirit of
Spain is the catalogue of the first exhibition to
explore the Spanish paintings of Robert Henri
(1865-1929). Including more than forty fullcolor plates of the paintings inspired by Henri’s
seven journeys to Spain, Spanish Sojourns
provides a thorough examination of Henri’s
lengthy engagement with that country’s people,
art, and culture. The catalog’s three in-depth
essays also contain a wealth of comparative
images: paintings, drawings, photographs, and
documents. Written by Valerie Ann Leeds, a noted
Henri scholar; M. Elizabeth Boone, an authority
on Spanish art; and Holly Koons McCullough, a
longtime curator at Telfair Museums, the essays
discuss Henri’s Spanish paintings in a variety of
contexts—artistic, cultural, and historical—laying
the groundwork for readers’ full understanding
and appreciation of this major body of work by
one of the most influential American artists of
the early twentieth century.
Spain and its people held particular fascination
for Henri, who was attracted to the nation’s
sunny climate, ancient culture, and spirited
citizens. He first visited Spain in 1900, and
returned six times between 1906 and 1926,
often for extended stays. He produced some
of his boldest and most compelling likenesses
there, portraying a wide range of bohemian
cultural figures including singers, dancers,
musicians, bullfighters, gypsies and peasants.
Henri’s Spanish paintings also reflect his
admiration for the great Spanish masters
Diego Velázquez and Francisco Goya, whose
works he studied closely during his many
visits to Madrid’s Prado Museum.

Association of Writers and Writing Programs
Award for Creative Nonfiction
The Small Heart of Things
Being at Home in a Beckoning World
Julian Hoffman
Winner of the AWP Award for Creative Nonfiction, Selected by Terry Tempest Williams
A lyrical and wide-ranging meditation on
the nature of place and home
“This writer is a seeker and seer among those who work the land within the cycles of time.
He knows how to listen and not simply catalog nature, both human and wild, but create a
tapestry of embodied stories born out of the intimate wisdom of sweat and hunger and an
earthly intelligence. At a time when we wonder where hope resides, this is a book of faith in
the natural histories of community, broken and sustained. Not only does the language honor
the encountered beauties along the way, it explores a complexity of ideas that reminds us
we are not strangers in the world if we remain open to awe and respectful of the tenacious
spirit required to live in place. The Small Heart of Things is a book of patience.”
—Terry Tempest Williams, author of Finding Beauty in a Broken World
“‘To be at home in the world is to let ourselves be drawn into its embrace,’ writes Julian
Hoffman in this sparkling, humane collection of essays. Something similar can be said about
reading his exquisite book—we’re drawn into the warmth and intimacy of his meditations.
Part travel writing, part environmental witness, part celebration of the human spirit in the
more-than-human world, this book guides us to a distant landscape of borders visible and
invisible and of enriching change. Throughout, Hoffman is a superb tour guide: observant,
knowledgeable, and deftly surprising in the connections he makes among the myriad small
things he enables us to see.”—Elizabeth Dodd, author of Horizon’s Lens
In The Small Heart of Things, Julian Hoffman
intimately examines the myriad ways in which
connections to the natural world can be deepened
through an equality of perception, whether
it’s a caterpillar carrying its house of leaves,
transhumant shepherds ranging high mountain
pastures, a quail taking cover on an empty
steppe, or a Turkmen family emigrating from
Afghanistan to Istanbul. The narrative spans the
common—and often contested—ground that
supports human and natural communities alike,
seeking the unsung stories that sustain us.
Guided by the belief of Rainer Maria Rilke that
“everything beckons us to perceive it,”
Hoffman explores the area around the
Prespa Lakes, the first transboundary park in
the Balkans, shared by Greece, Albania, and the
former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. From
there he travels widely to regions rarely written
about, exploring the idea that home is wherever
we happen to be if we accord that place our close
and patient attention.
The Small Heart of Things is a book about
looking and listening. It incorporates travel and
natural history writing that interweaves human
stories with those of wild creatures. Distinguished
by Hoffman’s belief that through awareness,
curiosity, and openness we have the potential to
forge abiding relationships with a range of places,
it illuminates how these many connections can
teach us to be at home in the world.

This Is My Century
New and Collected Poems
Margaret Walker
Foreword by Nikky Finney
Introduction by Maryemma Graham
A classic collection by one of the most beloved
poets of the twentieth century
“Always immediate but classic in voice, [Walker’s] poetry has a timeless
quality. . . . If younger poets have ranged farther in voice and content, it
is because they stand high on the shoulders of giants such as Margaret
Walker.”—Booklist
“A pivotal figure . . . Hers is, in the final analysis, a grand presence that this
collected volume of lifetime works affirms.”—Belles Lettres
“Walker writes with a strength and clarity that befits her large vision of
American and African American history.”—Library Journal
In selecting Margaret Walker as the recipient
of the Yale Series of Younger Poets in 1942—
making her the first African American to
receive this national literary award—Stephen
Vincent Benét proclaimed hers a vibrant new
voice, finding in her collection For My People “a
controlled intensity of emotion and a language
that, at times, even when it is most modern, has
something of a surge of biblical poetry.”
Today, more than seventy years later,
Walker’s voice still resonates with particular
power. Addressing the literature and culture of
black America, This Is My Century, first published
in 1989, marked a significant contribution to
American poetry, bringing together Walker’s
selection of one hundred of her own poems. On
the eve of the centennial of Walker’s birth, the
University of Georgia Press is proud to reissue
this classic of American letters. In addition to
her award-winning debut collection, the volume
includes Prophets for a New Day (1970), a
celebration of the civil rights movement; October
Journey (1973), a collection of autobiographical
and dedicatory poems; and thirty-seven
previously uncollected poems.

The Cloud That Contained the Lightning
Cynthia Lowen
The National Poetry Series, Selected by Nikky Finney
Poems about the enduring and yet-to-be reconciled
legacy of nuclear weapons, from the cofilmmaker of
the widely accclaimed documentary Bully
“In The Cloud That Contained the Lightning the unstable walls of the human heart meet the
intimate walls of atomic energy. There is decay. There is bloom. Cynthia Lowen skillfully and
fiercely tunnels into the world and mind of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, observes, magically imagines, and then maps forward a critical American life. The historical dust of what
intimately did and did not happen in 1945 settles alphabetically on us all. With sensual probing and stark probability Lowen and The Cloud That Contained the Lightning resurrect the
questions that human beings will forever face and only clear lovely poetry can answer: What
can we see from where we stand? Whose fingers clutch the ropes that could always drop the
curtain? We need this graceful work.”—Nikky Finney, author of Head Off & Split
“Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, was a pivotal and tragic figure in
twentieth-century American life. No biographer in six hundred pages has come closer to
understanding him—and the bomb—than does Cynthia Lowen in these subtle, resonant poems.”—Richard Rhodes, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb
“Tough minded, mordant, and oracular, many poems in this book speak through the persona
of J. Robert Oppenheimer—but as if he were a revenant and had come back to haunt our
contemporary world. His comments on our social and political and spiritual arrangements
make up a kind of shadow autobiography fraught with dread, nuclear threat, and a sense of
the absurd. Zbigniew Herbert’s Mr. Cogito has found his American counterpart.”—Tom Sleigh,
author of Army Cats
Using the character of J. Robert Oppenheimer,
the “father of the atomic bomb,” as a jumpingoff point, The Cloud That Contained the
Lightning explores the kinds of ethical choices
we face as individuals and as a society with
respect to the innovations and inventions
we pursue. How are our fears, obsessions,
prejudices, and cultures manifested in the ways
we apply new technologies, such as the splitting
of the atom? What were the attitudes that
resulted in such a destructive invention? What
prompted it to be used on a nation suspected to
already be defeated?
By weaving together the voices of
Oppenheimer, his wife and brother, hibakusha
(Japanese for “explosion-affected people”),
and the mythological figures of Cronos and
his children, Lowen creates a dialogue out of
a vacuum of communication and imagines
the kind of exchanges that might have led
to a different outcome than the tragedies at
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And in an exploration
of our tendency for selective amnesia, this
collection asks a critical question: How quickly
will the forgotten lessons of the past allow us to
repeat the tragic chapters of our history?
cynthia lowen has an MFA in creative
writing from Sarah Lawrence College. She was
selected for inclusion in Best New Poets 2008
and is a recipient of the Campbell Corner
Poetry Prize and a winner of the “Discovery”/
Boston Review Poetry Contest. She served
as a screenwriter and producer of the 2011
documentary Bully.

Down and Up
Poems
Clarence Major
New poems from an artist whose work demonstrates a
“wide and deep understanding of the American story:
its music and mythology, its history and heartache. His
language is both lyric and precise. His history is our own.”
—National Book Award Finalist citation
“Clarence Major has written a collection of poetry that celebrates being human.
Small moments expand into treatises of love and doubt, life and art, and it all
seems so natural. Here’s a poet who has mastered a language he owns through
personal rhythm, and he knows what it takes to transcend. Down and Up is shaped
under the pressure of living and dreaming with one’s eyes opened.”
—Yusef Komunyakaa, author of The Chameleon Couch
“I love the stark contrasts that run throughout Down and Up and the piercing
images that so often cinch the poems’ endings. They remind me that Major is also
a painter, someone with such a vivid sense of how narrative and impulse inhabit
the visual realm and who is quite readily capable of carrying them into impeccable
language.”—Tracy K. Smith, author of Life on Mars
In Down and Up, Clarence Major makes
use of American and European public places,
their character and voice, to construct poems
that explore the physical world juxtaposed
sharply with the inner world. Sometimes realistic,
sometimes dreamlike, these poems are dynamic,
universal in theme, and acknowledge a debt
to the great tradition of modern American
poetry. Clear eyed and painterly, they
explore wherever Major’s fancy takes him.
His distinctive voice and compelling spatial
and visual approach offer a connection
between everyday human occurrences
and the physical space they surround.
clarence major, prizewinning poet,
painter, and novelist, is the author of twelve
previous books of poetry. As a finalist for a
National Book Award he won a Bronze Medal
for his book Configurations: New and Selected
Poems, 1958–1998. Among other awards he is
also the recipient of a National Council on the
Arts Award, a New York Cultural Foundation
Award, and the Stephen Henderson Poetry
Award for Outstanding Achievement, all three
for poetry. His poetry has appeared in hundreds
of anthologies and periodicals, in English and in
foreign languages, such as several of the Norton
anthologies, including Postmodern Poetry in
America; American Poetry Review; Kenyon Review;
Callaloo; El Corno Emplumado (Mexico); East
and West (India); Tuatara (Turkey); Vinduet
(Norway); and Literatura na Swiecie (Poland).
He is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the
University of California at Davis.

Thieves I’ve Known
Stories by Tom Kealey
Winner of the Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction
Stories that explore and celebrate the lives
of America’s invisible youth
“Tom Kealey might be my favorite short story writer and this astonishing
collection is long overdue.”—Stephen Elliott, author of The Adderall Diaries
“I’ve never gotten such a sense of place from a collection of stories that so
spans the nation. Kealey’s characters are survivors, orphans spiritual and legal,
living in an America where real joy and real struggle share an unmended fence
with the realm of myth. This is a book of transit and transition, drives and conversations, wilderness and outskirts, all of it rendered with gorgeous humanity—and with such adroitness the sudden power of each conclusion takes the
breath right out of me.”—Scott Hutchins, author of A Working Theory of Love
In these wondrously strange and revealing
stories, Tom Kealey chronicles the struggles
and triumphs of the young and marginalized as
they discover many ways of growing up.
Their names are Merrill, Omar, Shelby, Laika,
Winston, and Toomey, but most people don’t
see them. They are boxers in training and the
children of fishermen. They are altar boys in
a poverty-stricken parish. They are assistant
groundskeepers and assistant camel-keepers.
They travel with the circus, care for disabled
siblings, steal police cars, and retrieve the stolen
boots of a priest. Ranging in abode from Puget
Sound, Washington, to Pamlico Sound, North
Carolina, they are abandoned yet courageous
and plucky children and teenagers living on the
edges of society.
Thieves I’ve Known is a collection of powerful,
moving stories about the lives of a redemptive
and peculiar cast of young characters who
become easy to know and difficult to forget.

The Viewing Room
Stories by Jacquelin Gorman
Winner of the Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction
A moving collection of stories about damaged
lives and how the living cope with the dying
“The vivid, powerful, and disturbing stories of The Viewing Room exhibit a
deep caring about the preciousness of life and the strength of the bonds
that can link us to one another. When love and death are locked in intimate
embrace, the only recourse for bystanders is compassion. Brave and honest,
these stories whisper to the reader, ‘Take care, take care,’ and, ‘Help one
another.’”—Sena Jeter Naslund, author of Adam & Eve
“I have never read anything at all like this stark and brilliant book, which
examines death, dying, and human love through the perspective of young
hospital chaplain Henrietta during her initial year of duty in the ‘viewing
room.’ I feel changed and enlarged by these extraordinary characters, their
dire situations, and life stories.”—Lee Smith, author of Fair and Tender Ladies
In The Viewing Room, two hospital chaplains
console the living during the moments when
they look upon their beloved dead for one last
time in a large urban hospital in Los Angeles.
But this room is also a character, linking
stories together and bearing witness in chilling
testimony of grief and wisdom. Henrietta and
Maurice, the chaplains, are ministers who have
lost their faith due to devastating personal
tragedy. Still, they regain their hold on their own
lives through their work, one death at a time.
Jacquelin Gorman lays bare nine parallel worlds
of suffering in stories of unflinching detail,
vividly told with heart, guts, and compassion. In
these pages, the children are both murderers and
victims, and the adults fare no better: a teenage
father shakes his screaming baby to death; high
school surfers kill the homeless for sport as a way
of cleaning up their beaches; a Muslim basketball
player readies her best friend for burial with a
sacred ritual that reveals forbidden love;
a scorned ex-wife leaves a message in
permanent ink on the body of her betrayer;
and a pet therapy dog’s unconditional love for
a decaying body memorializes the spirit within.
This moving and unsettling collection of stories
shines a piercing light on the dark corners of our
modern world, illuminating necessary truths that
convey a clearer and, undoubtedly, greater
vision of humanity.

The Seeing Glass, a memoir. She grew up in a
family of physicians in the shadow of Johns
Hopkins Hospital and spent a great deal of

Oil Sparks in the Amazon
Local Conflicts, Indigenous Populations, and Natural Resources
Patricia I. Vásquez
A groundbreaking study of resource conflicts
and indigenous peoples
“Patricia I. Vásquez’s groundbreaking book does a superb job illuminating
oil-related local conflicts in Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. Vásquez’s
scrupulous and extensive research yielded invaluable insights that will be
of great use to scholars and decision makers in both the public and private
sectors. Her study is highly nuanced and admirably sensitive to the many
complexities behind one of today’s most vexing challenges in much of Latin
America.”—Michael Shifter, President, Inter-American Dialogue
“Patricia Vásquez deploys her vast knowledge of the oil and gas industry
to explore the potent mix of grievances and structural constraints that
give rise to conflicts between investors and local communities over a
host of environmental, social, cultural, and economic issues. Just as
important, Vásquez identifies short- and long-term strategies for
preventing or mitigating conflict in the hydrocarbons sector. This is an
indispensable and pathbreaking book.”—Cynthia J. Arnson, Director, Latin
American Program, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars
For decades, studies of oil-related conflicts
have focused on the effects of natural resource
mismanagement, resulting in great economic
booms and busts or violence as rebels fight ruling
governments over their regions’ hydrocarbon
resources. In Oil Sparks in the Amazon, Patricia I.
Vásquez writes that while oil busts and civil wars
are common, the tension over oil in the Amazon
has played out differently, in a way inextricable
from the region itself.
Oil disputes in the Amazon primarily involve
local indigenous populations. These groups’
social and cultural identities differ from the rest
of the population, and the diverse disputes over
land, displacement, water contamination, jobs,
and wealth distribution reflect those differences.
Vásquez spent fifteen years traveling to the oilproducing regions of Latin America, conducting
hundreds of interviews with the stakeholders
in local conflicts. She analyzes fifty-five social
and environmental clashes related to oil and gas
extraction in the Andean countries (Peru, Ecuador,
and Colombia). She also examines what triggers
local hydrocarbons disputes and offers policy
recommendations to resolve or prevent them.
Vásquez argues that each case should be analyzed
with attention to its specific sociopolitical and
economic context. She shows how the key to
preventing disputes that lead to local conflicts is to
address structural flaws (such as poor governance
and inadequate legal systems) and nonstructural
flaws (such as stakeholders’ attitudes and behavior)
at the outset. Doing this will require more than
strong political commitments to ensure the
equitable distribution of oil and gas revenues.
It will require attention to the local values and
culture as well.
patricia i. vásquez is an independent
energy expert and former Jennings Randolph
senior fellow at the U.S. Institute of Peace and an
advisor on energy and sustainable development
issues. Previously, she was the head of the Latin
America Department at Energy Intelligence.

The Future of Just War
New Critical Essays
Edited by Caron E. Gentry and Amy E. Eckert
A timely collection of essays calling for a new
scholarly and policy approach to Just War
“Caron E. Gentry and Amy E. Eckert’s volume, The Future of Just War, is a
solid and stimulating collection of essays that advances the state of the art
of Just War theory. Interest in the justice of war has exploded over the past
two decades, and this volume features fascinating, instructive pieces on such
cutting-edge subjects as new weapons technologies, ‘postheroic warfare,’ and
the aftermath of armed conflict. Interesting, important, and well composed.”
—Brian Orend, author of The Morality of War
Just War scholarship has adapted to
contemporary crises and situations. But
its adaptation has spurned debate and
conversation—a method and means of pushing
its thinking forward. Now the Just War tradition
risks becoming marginalized. This concern
may seem out of place as Just War literature is
proliferating, yet this literature remains welded
to traditional conceptualizations of Just War.
Caron E. Gentry and Amy E. Eckert argue that
the tradition needs to be updated to deal with
substate actors within the realm of legitimate
authority, private military companies, and the
questionable moral difference between the use of
conventional and nuclear weapons. Additionally,
as recent policy makers and scholars have tried
to make the Just War criteria legalistic, they have
weakened the tradition’s ability to draw from and
adjust to its contemporaneous setting.
The essays in The Future of Just War seek to
reorient the tradition around its core concerns
of preventing the unjust use of force by states
and limiting the harm inflicted on vulnerable
populations such as civilian noncombatants.
The pursuit of these challenges involves both
a reclaiming of traditional Just War principles
from those who would push it toward greater
permissiveness with respect to war, as well as the
application of Just War principles to emerging
issues, such as the growing use of robotics in war
or the privatization of force. These essays share
a commitment to the idea that the tradition is
more about a rigorous application of Just War
principles than the satisfaction of a checklist of
criteria to be met before waging “just” war in the
service of national interest.

Southern Foodways Alliance:
Studies in Culture, People, and Place
The Larder
Food Studies Methods from the American South
Edited by John T. Edge, Elizabeth Engelhardt, and Ted Ownby
A showcase of interdisciplinary methodologies in the
study of food and culture
“Edge, Engelhardt, Ownby, and their contributors touch on issues familiar in
southern studies—especially the roles of race, class, and gender—and do so in
an exceptionally fresh and tangible way, through food. This is one of the best
collections of food scholarship.”—Warren Belasco, visiting professor of gastronomy
at Boston University and author of Food: The Key Concepts
“There exist collections of scholarship in food studies, of scholarship in southern
studies in general, and of scholarship in southern food in particular, but no food
studies collection I know of focuses mainly on methods. This is new and worthy of
publication.”—Amy Bentley, editor of A Cultural History of Food in the Modern Age
The sixteen essays in The Larder argue that
the study of food does not simply help us understand
more about what we eat and the foodways we
embrace. The methods and strategies herein help
scholars use food and foodways as lenses to examine
human experience. The resulting conversations
provoke a deeper understanding of our overlapping,
historically situated, and evolving cultures and societies.
The Larder presents some of the most influential
scholars in the discipline today, from established
authorities such as Psyche Williams-Forson to emerging
thinkers such as Rien T. Fertel, writing on subjects as
varied as hunting, farming, and marketing, as well as
examining restaurants, iconic dishes, and cookbooks.
Editors John T. Edge, Elizabeth Engelhardt, and Ted
Ownby bring together essays that demonstrate that
food studies scholarship, as practiced in the American
South, sets methodological standards for the
discipline. The essayists ask questions about gender,
race, and ethnicity as they explore issues of identity and
authenticity. And they offer new ways to think about
material culture, technology, and the business of food.
The Larder is not driven by nostalgia. Reading
such a collection of essays may not encourage
food metaphors. “It’s not a feast, not a gumbo,
certainly not a home-cooked meal,” Ted Ownby
argues in his closing essay. Instead, it’s a healthy
step in the right direction, taken by the leading
scholars in the field.

Studies in the Legal History of the South
James McHenry, Forgotten Federalist
Karen E. Robbins
A long overdue chapter in the history of America’s founders
“Karen E. Robbins’s James McHenry, Forgotten Federalist is a welcome
addition to the literature on the Revolution and early American republic,
rescuing a misunderstood patriot from undeserved obscurity. Her fresh and
fair-minded account of McHenry’s career as John Adams’s secretary of war
is a particularly notable contribution to our understanding of these critically
important years.”—Peter S. Onuf, author of Jefferson’s Empire: The Language
of American Nationhood
A Scots-Irish immigrant, James McHenry
determined to make something of his life.
Trained as a physician, he joined the American
Revolution when war broke out. He then switched
to a more military role, serving on the staffs of
George Washington and Lafayette. He entered
government after the war and served in the
Maryland Senate and in the Continental Congress.
As Maryland’s representative at the Constitutional
Convention, McHenry helped to add the ex post
facto clause to the Constitution and worked
to increase free trade among the states.
As secretary of war, McHenry remained loyal
to Washington, under whom he established a
regimental framework for the army that lasted
well into the nineteenth century. Upon becoming
president, John Adams retained McHenry;
however, Adams began to believe McHenry was
in league with other Hamiltonian Federalists who
wished to undermine his policies. Thus, when the
military buildup for the Quasi-War with France
became unpopular, Adams used it as a pretext to
request McHenry’s resignation.
Yet as Karen Robbins demonstrates in the
first modern biography of McHenry, Adams
was mistaken; the friendship between
McHenry and Hamilton that Adams feared
had grown sensitive and there was a brief
falling out. Moreover, McHenry had asked
Hamilton to withdraw his application for
second-in-command of the New Army being
raised. Nonetheless, Adams’s misperception
ended McHenry’s career, and he has remained an
obscure historical figure ever since—until now.
James McHenry, Forgotten Federalist reveals a man
surrounded by important events who reflected
the larger themes of his time.

Philadelphia’s Program in African American History
John Adams, Toussaint Louverture, and
Their Atlantic World Alliance
Ronald Angelo Johnson
The first history of the unlikely diplomatic alliance between
the fledgling nations of the United States and Haiti
“Ronald Angelo Johnson’s Diplomacy in Black and White offers a new, compelling,
and highly readable account of an important episode in the early history of
American foreign policy.”—Michael Mandelbaum, author of Democracy’s Good
Name: The Rise and Risks of the World’s Most Popular Form of Government
“John Adams’s presidency and Saint Domingue’s revolutionary regime rarely
get the attention they deserve in explaining the acquisition of Louisiana and
shifts in the slavery debates in the United States. Ronald Angelo Johnson’s
carefully argued and persuasive new book gives us an illuminating take on the
equal partnership forged between the Adams administration and Toussaint
Louverture—a fascinating and original study of diplomacy across the color line.”
—Nancy Isenberg, author of Fallen Founder: The Life of Aaron Burr
From 1798 to 1801, during the Haitian Revolution,
President John Adams and Toussaint Louverture
forged diplomatic relations that empowered white
Americans to embrace freedom and independence
for people of color in Saint-Domingue. The
United States supported the Dominguan
revolutionaries with economic assistance and
arms and munitions; the conflict was also the
U.S. Navy’s first military action on behalf of a
foreign ally. This cross-cultural cooperation was of
immense and strategic importance as it helped to
bring forth a new nation: Haiti.
Diplomacy in Black and White is the first book
on the Adams-Louverture alliance. Historian
and former diplomat Ronald Angelo Johnson
details the aspirations of the Americans and
Dominguans—two revolutionary peoples—and
how they played significant roles in a hostile
Atlantic world. Remarkably, leaders of both
governments established multiracial relationships
amid environments dominated by slavery and
racial hierarchy. And though U.S.-Dominguan
diplomacy did not end slavery in the United States,
it altered Atlantic world discussions of slavery and
race well into the twentieth century.
Diplomacy in Black and White reflects the
capacity of leaders from disparate backgrounds to
negotiate political and societal constraints to make
lives better for the groups they represent. Adams
and Louverture brought their peoples to the
threshold of a lasting transracial relationship. And
their shared history reveals the impact of decisions
made by powerful people at pivotal moments. But
in the end, a permanent alliance failed to emerge,
and instead, the two republics born of revolution
took divergent paths.

Mercer University Lamar Memorial Lectures No. 55
A Late Encounter with the Civil War
Michael Kreyling
Civil War anniversaries and the challenging,
changeable ways we commemorate them
“Theoretically nuanced and brilliantly written, A Late Encounter with the
Civil War is a provocative account of how Americans never remember
the same Civil War twice. Kreyling’s study is essential reading for anyone
interested in the complex, even anxious, interplay of history and memory.”
—Scott Romine, author of The Real South: Southern Narrative in the Age of
Cultural Reproduction
In A Late Encounter with the Civil War, Michael
Kreyling confronts the changing nature of our
relationship to the anniversary of the war that
nearly split the United States. When significant
anniversaries arrive in the histories of groups
such as families, businesses, or nations, their
members set aside time to formally remember
their shared past. This phenomenon—this
social or collective memory—reveals as much
about a group’s sense of place in the present as
it does about the events of the past. So it is
with the Civil War.
As a nation, we have formally remembered
two Civil War anniversaries, the 50th and
100th. We are now in the complicated process
of remembering the war for a third time.
Kreyling reminds us that we were a different
“we” for each of the earlier commemorations,
and that “we” are certainly different now, and
not only because the president in office for the
150th anniversary represents a member of the
race for whose emancipation from slavery the
war was waged.
These essays explore the conscious and
unconscious mechanisms by which each era
has staged, written, and thought about the
meaning of the Civil War. Kreyling engages the
not-quite-conscious agendas at work in the
rituals of remembering through fiction, film,
graphic novels, and other forms of expression.
Each cultural example wrestles with the
current burden of remembering: What are we
attempting to do with a memory that, to many,
seems irrelevant or so far in the past as to be
almost irretrievable?
michael kreyling is a professor of
English at Vanderbilt University. He is the
author of The South That Wasn’t There and
Inventing Southern Literature, for which he
received the Eudora Welty Prize.

Everyday Life in the Early English Caribbean
Irish, Africans, and the Construction of Difference
Jenny Shaw
A new examination of the experiences of Irish and
Africans in the English Caribbean
“Jenny Shaw’s nuanced study illuminates how divisions originating in Europe—
especially those that distinguished Irish Catholic servants from their English
Protestant masters—shaped colonial society and ultimately the hierarchies of
race that came to be the most important markers of difference. Shaw profitably
lingers over the early period, when the early English Caribbean was in the process
of becoming, and as a result she demonstrates that race and colonialism were
negotiated, not preordained.”—Carla Gardina Pestana, author of Protestant
Empire: Religion and the Making of the British Atlantic World
“A nuanced and fascinating account of how Irish Catholics shaped the emergence
of racial hierarchy in the English Caribbean. With meticulous attention to the
constraints and possibilities of everyday life, Shaw explores the way that early
settlers marked and ranked social difference, finding that status distinctions were
surprisingly malleable, even in a society overwhelmingly organized by slavery and
race. Offering close readings of fresh sources, this is both an important study and
an impressive feat of the informed imagination.”—Vincent Brown, author of The
Reaper’s Garden: Death and Power in the World of Atlantic Slavery
Set along both the physical and social margins
of the British Empire in the second half
of the seventeenth century, Everyday Life
in the Early English Caribbean explores the
construction of difference through the everyday
life of colonial subjects. Jenny Shaw examines
how marginalized colonial subjects—Irish and
Africans—contributed to these processes. By
emphasizing their everyday experiences Shaw
makes clear that each group persisted in its own
cultural practices; Irish and Africans also
worked within—and challenged—the limits
of the colonial regime. Shaw’s research
demonstrates the extent to which hierarchies
were in flux in the early modern Caribbean,
allowing even an outcast servant to rise to the
position of island planter, and underscores the
fallacy that racial categories of black and white
were the sole arbiters of difference in the early
English Caribbean.
The everyday lives of Irish and Africans are
obscured by sources constructed by elites.
Through her research, Jenny Shaw overcomes
the constraints such sources impose by pushing
methodological boundaries to fill in the gaps,
silences, and absences that dominate the
historical record. By examining legal statutes,
census material, plantation records, travel
narratives, depositions, interrogations, and
official colonial correspondence, as much
for what they omit as for what they include,
Everyday Life in the Early English Caribbean
uncovers perspectives that would otherwise
remain obscured. This book encourages readers
to rethink the boundaries of historical research
and writing and to think more expansively
about questions of race and difference in
English slave societies.

Travels in Deep Southern Time, Circum-Caribbean Space, Afro-creole Authority
Keith Cartwright
A cross-cultural study of literary and
spiritual gulfs of knowledge
“Cartwright argues for a hermeneutics of inclusive reading practices of African diaspora
literatures; a poetics of ‘swing’; a reading strategy that understands geographical, cultural,
narrative, linguistic, spiritual, racial, and historical multiplicities not as unbridgeable
differences but as similar acts of survival ethics by peoples of the African diaspora in the
Caribbean, the Deep South of the United States, and the Bahamas. A brilliant, necessary,
and refreshing resource for all universities offering graduate courses in African diaspora,
Caribbean, and American literary and cultural studies.”—Dr. Dannabang Kuwabong,
professor in Caribbean literatures, University of Puerto Rico
“Sacral Grooves, Limbo Gateways is an excellent effort in theorizing and performing the
links between the creole zones of the Caribbean, of the U.S. South, and of West Africa. The
motifs of the sacred, the sublime, and the spiritual are called upon in order to demonstrate
that the fragmentation and displacement experienced during diaspora and slavery created
a unity that brings together these geographically discrete morsels. Cartwright, moving
fluidly across languages, genres, and modes of interpretation, demonstrates compelling
mastery of many different subjects.”—Valérie Loichot, author of Orphan Narratives: The
Postplantation Literature of Faulkner, Glissant, Morrison, and Saint-John Perse and The
Tropics Bite Back: Culinary Coups in Caribbean Literature
“We’re seeing people we didn’t know existed,”
the director of FEMA acknowledged in the wake
of Hurricane Katrina. Sacral Grooves, Limbo
Gateways offers a corrective to some of America’s
institutionalized invisibilities by delving into the
submerged networks of ritual performance, writing,
intercultural history, and migration that have linked
the coastal U.S. South with the Caribbean and the
wider Atlantic world. This interdisciplinary study
slips beneath the bar of rigid national and literary
periods, embarking upon deeper—more rhythmic
and embodied—signatures of time. It swings low
through ecologies and symbolic orders of creolized
space. And it reappraises pluralistic modes of
knowledge, kinship, and authority that have
sustained vital forms of agency (such as jazz)
amid abysses of racialized trauma.
Drawing from Haitian and New Orleanian
Vodou, Cuban and South Floridian Santería, as
well as from Afro-Baptist (Caribbean, Geechee,
and Bahamian) models of encounters with
otherness, this book reemplaces deep southern
texts within the counterclockwise ring-stepping
of a long Afro-Atlantic modernity. Turning to an
orphan girl’s West African initiation tale to follow
a remarkably traveled body of feminine rites and
writing (in works by Paule Marshall, Zora Neale
Hurston, Lydia Cabrera, William Faulkner, James
Weldon Johnson, and LeAnne Howe, among
others), Cartwright argues that only in holistic
form, emergent from gulfs of cross-cultural
witness, can literary and humanistic authority find
legitimacy. Without such grounding, he contends,
our educational institutions blind and even
poison students, bringing them to “swallow lye,”
like the grandson of Phoenix Jackson in Eudora
Welty’s “A Worn Path.” Here, literary study may
open pathways to alternative medicines—fetched
by tenacious avatars like Phoenix (or an orphan
Kumba or shell-shaking Turtle)—to remedy the
lies our partial histories have made us swallow.

My Dear Boy
Carrie Hughes’s Letters to Langston Hughes, 1926–1938
Edited by Carmaletta M. Williams and John Edgar Tidwell
Foreword by Nikky Finney
The letters that inspired the early work
of Langston Hughes
“Draining, painful letters that are impossible to stop reading bring a new and indelible
appreciation of Langston Hughes’s personal challenges as a young adult. Brilliant and
carefully documented insights by the editors compel new readings of Hughes’s works that
we mistakenly thought we already understood. The freshest book on Hughes I have seen
in a while.”—Donna Akiba Sullivan Harper, author of Not So Simple: The “Simple” Stories by
Langston Hughes
“In this stunning collection of private correspondence to Langston Hughes from his
mother, Carrie, Professors Carmaletta M. Williams and John Edgar Tidwell have bestowed
a lavish gift on the global audience of a truly global artist. With meticulous scholarship
and an unerring sense of biographical proportion, My Dear Boy: Carrie Hughes’s Letters to
Langston Hughes, 1926–1938 opens the doors to otherwise unseen dimensions of Langston
Hughes’s most long-lived and most intimate interpersonal bond, freeing us at one turn after
another from the accumulated clichés and oversimplifications that have masked the inner
and outer lives of one of our most complex and accomplished writers.”—John S. Wright,
author of Shadowing Ralph Ellison
My Dear Boy brings a largely unexplored
dimension of Langston Hughes to light.
Carmaletta Williams and John Edgar Tidwell
explain that scholars have neglected the vital role
that correspondence between Carrie Hughes
and her son Langston—Harlem Renaissance
icon, renowned poet, playwright, fiction writer,
autobiographer, and essayist—played in his work.
The more than 120 heretofore unexamined
letters presented here are a veritable treasure
trove of insights into the relationship between
mother Carrie and her renowned son Langston.
Until now, a scholarly consensus had begun to
emerge, accepting the idea of their lives and his
art as simple and transparent. But as Williams
and Tidwell argue, this correspondence is
precisely where scholars should start in order
to understand the underlying complexity in
Carrie and Langston’s relationship. By employing
Family Systems Theory for the first time in
Hughes scholarship, they demonstrate that it is
an essential heuristic for analyzing the Hughes
family and its influence on his work. The study
takes the critical truism about Langston’s
reticence to reveal his inner self and shows
how his responses to Carrie were usually not in
return letters but, instead, in his created art. Thus
My Dear Boy reveals the difficult negotiations
between family and art that Langston engaged
in as he attempted to sustain an elusive but
enduring artistic reputation.

Jim Crow, Literature, and the
Legacy of Sutton E. Griggs
Edited by Tess Chakkalakal and Kenneth W. Warren
Essays on a trailblazing African American writer and
publisher during the Jim Crow era
“This rich and remarkably diverse collection of new scholarship on Sutton E.
Griggs restores to view an important literary voice, at once analytically sharp
and imaginatively daring, in the battle against Jim Crow.”—Eric J. Sundquist,
Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities, Johns Hopkins University
“This essay collection on the perennially underappreciated African American
writer of five novels and numerous tracts reveals a Sutton Griggs that no single
monograph has yet shown: not the definitive figure but a political chameleon,
placed in a striking series of rigorously researched historical contexts, from
the border culture of Texas, where he lived, to the emerging race-citizenship
complex of the United States as an imperial nation. The Jim Crow era itself
emerges throughout the essays as more of a paradox than we’ve known, both
the nadir of African American history and the heyday of the race novel, if not
of African American literature as a whole.”—Susan Gillman, author of Blood
Talk: American Race Melodrama and the Culture of the Occult
Imperium in Imperio (1899) was the first black
novel to countenance openly the possibility
of organized black violence against Jim Crow
segregation. Its author, a Baptist minister and
newspaper editor from Texas, Sutton E. Griggs
(1872–1933), would go on to publish four more
novels; establish his own publishing company,
one of the first secular publishing houses owned
and operated by an African American in the
United States; and help to found the American
Baptist Theological Seminary in Tennessee.
Alongside W. E. B. Du Bois and Booker T.
Washington, Griggs was a key political and
literary voice for black education and political
rights and against Jim Crow.
Jim Crow, Literature, and the Legacy of
Sutton E. Griggs examines the wide scope of
Griggs’s influence on African American literature
and politics at the turn of the twentieth century.
Contributors engage Griggs’s five novels and
his numerous works of nonfiction, as well as
his publishing and religious careers. By taking
up Griggs’s work, these essays open up a new
historical perspective on African American
literature and the terms that continue to shape
American political thought and culture.

Gravity’s Rainbow, Domination,
and Freedom
Luc Herman and Steven Weisenburger
A provocative analysis of one of the twentieth century’s
most radical and enduring novels
“Herman and Weisenburger bring immense erudition to their altogether fresh study
of the work they rightly characterize as a ‘towering achievement.’ ‘Gravity’s Rainbow,’
Domination, and Freedom is a terrific contribution not only to Pynchon studies but also
to our understanding of the cultural matrix within which this author—still America’s most
important and vital novelist—invented himself and his extraordinary fictions.”
—David Cowart, author of Thomas Pynchon and the Dark Passages of History
“Herman and Weisenburger rehistoricize and recontextualize Gravity’s Rainbow. They
synthesize literary criticism, narratology, psychology, cultural history, and political analysis
to produce this unprecedentedly deep and detailed understanding of the place of
Pynchon’s novel in—its status and role as a document of—its time and ours. The genius of
the book is that it gives us not only a vivid sense of that past but also a new and newly
urgent sense of our present and possible future.”—John M. Krafft, Miami University
When published in 1973, Gravity’s Rainbow
expanded our sense of what the novel could
be. Pynchon’s extensive references to modern
science, history, and culture challenged any reader,
while his prose bent the rules for narrative art
and his satirical practices taunted U.S. obscenity
and pornography statutes. His writing thus
enacts freedom even as the book’s great theme is
domination: humanity’s diminished “chances for
freedom” in a global military-industrial system
birthed and set on its feet in World War II. Its
symbol: the V-2 rocket.
“Gravity’s Rainbow,” Domination, and Freedom
broadly situates Pynchon’s novel in “long sixties”
history, revealing a fiction deeply of and about its
time. Herman and Weisenburger put the novel’s
abiding questions about freedom in context with
sixties struggles against war, restricted speech
rights, ethno-racial oppression, environmental
degradation, and subtle new means of social
and psychological control. They show the text’s
close indebtedness to critiques of domination
by key postwar thinkers such as Erich Fromm,
Herbert Marcuse, and Hannah Arendt. They detail
equally powerful ways that sixties countercultural
practices—free-speech resistance played out
in courts, campuses, city streets, and raucously
satirical underground presswork—provide a clearer
bearing on Pynchon’s own satirical practices and
their implicit criticisms.
If the System has jacketed humanity in a total
domination, may not a solitary individual still
assert freedom? Or has the System captured
all—even supposedly immune elites—in an
irremediable dominion? Reading Pynchon’s main
characters and storylines, this study realizes a
darker Gravity’s Rainbow than critics have been
willing to see.

The Works of Tobias Smollett
The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle
Tobias Smollett
Edited by John P. Zomchick and George S. Rousseau
Alexander Pettit, general editor; text edited by O M Brack, Jr., and
W. H. Keithley
The final volume in the distinguished
Works of Tobias Smollett series
“The genius of Peregrine Pickle and its young author is to be found neither
exclusively in the interpolated tales that its contemporary audience read avidly
nor in the ‘main story’ that appealed to its later readers but rather in the entire
canvas upon which is painted a densely populated and vividly realized fictional
world. Taken in its entirety, Smollett’s novel still holds the power to delight and
instruct a modern audience by virtue of its author’s capacious vision, his force
of spirit, and his ability to capture life in words and images.”
—from the editors’ introduction
This picaresque tale, first published in 1751, was
Tobias Smollett’s second novel. Following the
fortunes and misfortunes of the egotistical dandy
Peregrine Pickle, the novel is written as a series
of brief adventures with every chapter typically
describing a new escapade. The novel begins
with Peregrine as a young country gentleman.
His mother rejects him, as do his aloof father
and his dissolute, spiteful brother. Commodore
Hawser Trunnion takes Peregrine under his
care and raises him. Peregrine’s upbringing,
education at Oxford, and journey to France, his
debauchery, bankruptcy, jailing, and succession
to his father’s fortune, and his final repentance
and marriage to his beloved Emilia all provide
scope for Smollett’s comic and caustic perspective
on the Europe of his times. As John P. Zomchick
and George S. Rousseau note in the introduction,
“by contrasting the genteel and the common, the
sophisticated and the primal, Smollett conveys
forcefully the way it felt to be alive in the middle
of the eighteenth century.”
The introduction provides an overview of the
composition and publication history of Peregrine
Pickle and discusses the novel’s critical reception
over time by such figures as Lady Luxborough, Sir
Walter Scott, Joseph Conrad, and George Orwell.
The text of the novel uses the first edition of 1751
as copy-text while recording the second edition’s
substantive variants. Included are illustrations
by Thomas Rowlandson, Richard Corbould,
and George Cruikshank, as well as frontispieces

The Chaucer Library
Jankyn’s Book of Wikked Wyves
Volume 2: Seven Commentaries on
Walter Map’s “Dissuasio Valerii”
Edited by Traugott Lawler and Ralph Hanna
Collected by Karl Young and Robert A. Pratt
Medieval attitudes toward women and marriage, as
revealed in newly translated commentaries
“These commentaries ‘extend significantly our understanding of medieval
attitudestoward women and marriage’ and therefore of Chaucer’s attitudes
in the Wife’s prologue and tale and elsewhere in his works . . . an essential
supplement to the primary texts in the first volume.”—from the foreword by
Robert E. Lewis, Chaucer Library General Editor
In volume 1 of Jankyn’s Book of Wikked Wyves
(Georgia, 1997), Ralph Hanna and Traugott
Lawler presented authoritative versions of three
medieval texts invoked by Jankyn (fifth husband
of the Wife of Bath) in The Canterbury Tales. In
Jankyn’s Book, volume 2, Lawler and Hanna revisit
one of those texts by way of presenting all the
known contemporary commentaries on it.
The text is Walter Map’s “Dissuasio Valerii,” that
is, “The Letter of Valerius to His Friend Ruffinus,
Dissuading Him from Marrying.” Included in
Jankyn’s Book, volume 2, are seven commentaries
on “Dissuasio Valerii,” edited from all known
manuscripts and presented in their Latin text
with English translation on the facing page. Each
commentary opens with a headnote. Variants are
reported at the bottom of the translation pages,
and full explanatory notes appear after the texts,
along with a bibliography and index of sources.
In their introduction, Lawler and Hanna
discuss what is known about the authors of the
commentaries. Four are unknown, although one of
these is almost certainly a Dominican. Of the three
known authors, two are Dominicans (Eneas of
Siena and the brilliant Englishman Nicholas Trivet),
and one is Franciscan (John Ridewall). In addition,
the editors discuss the likely readerships of the
commentaries—the four humanist texts, which
explicate Map’s witty and allusive Latin and which
were for use in school, and the three moralizing
texts, which mount eloquent defenses of women
and which were for use mainly by the clergy.
While Lawler and Hanna’s immediate aim is
to give readers of Chaucer the fullest possible

Shelter from the Storm
Eyes of the Pelican
Benjamín Prado
Translated and edited by
Gordon E. McNeer
Fernando Valverde
Translated and edited by
Gordon E. McNeer
Seventeen poems by celebrated
Spanish poet Benjamín Prado.
Both Spanish and English
versions of the poems are
included on facing pages.
Forty poems from Spanish
poet and cofounder of the
International Poetry Festival of
Granada Fernando Valverde.
Both Spanish and English
versions of the poems
are included on facing pages.
“Benjamín Prado was born in
Madrid in 1961, a fact that made
him a witness to the death of
Franco in 1975 and a protagonist
in the subsequent cultural
revolution in Spain that was first
known as La movida in Madrid
. . . Prado is a columnist for El
Pais, Spain’s most widely read
newspaper, where he is a staunch
defender of human rights. He
is also a novelist and poet of
internationally recognized
stature . . . . [Shelter from the
Storm] is certainly the Holy Grail
of his poetry.”—From a Note
from the Translator by
Gordon McNeer
“Eyes of the Pelican is an
intensely personal work that
reflects upon members of
[Fernando Valverde’s] family,
the internal workings of his
soul and his career as a cultural
journalist traveling through
countries ravaged by war. His
brilliant choice of the pelican
as emblematic of the human
condition will endure in the
memories of those who read
this remarkable book.”—From
a Note from the Translator by
Gordon McNeer

The Artist as Activist
in Appalachia
Edited by Amy Childers
Mansfield and Joyce E. Stavick
The Artist as Activist in
Appalachia is a collection
of essays, stories, poetry, and
photography that focuses on
how people not only care for
each other and for the land
but also disagree with each
other about the best methods
to do both. The book includes
the reflections of people who
have “been to the mountaintop”
and experienced the trials
of coal mining, unions, and
the government.

Foreword by David Potter
Introduction by Thomas E. Scanlin
Essay by Pamela Jane Sachant
Anne Dismukes Amerson
This catalog of a 2007
exhibition explores the
intrinsic link between the
visual and the verbal in the
art of Billy Roper and the
notion of his paintings as a
form of visual storytelling.
Availa ble
Roper is a contemporary
North Georgia painter and
sculptor whose art is held in
collections around the United
States. Roper works in a variety
of formats and styles in twoand three-dimensional media
based on traditions found in
Appalachian vernacular and
mainstream art forms. His
subject matter ranges from
minutiae of his childhood
memories to contemplations
on his cultural heritage and
from an accounting of the
day’s events to reflections on
the nature and meaning of life.

Through the experiences of
Keziah Hamilton Cochran
this historical novel brings
to life America’s first major
gold rush, the Trail of Tears,
the Civil War, and other
turbulent events in both
Dahlonega’s and America’s
history. A young bride when
gold is discovered in 1829,
Keziah journeys with her
husband to north Georgia
as he seeks their fortune.
Gold fever brings for Keziah
heartache, separation, sorrow,
and finally fulfillment.
“An intriguing walk through
time, well written, while
maintaining precise historical
integrity.”—Robin Glass,

The Military and
the Monarchy
The Case and Career of the Duke of
Cambridge in an Age of Reform
Kevin W. Farrell
This study follows Prince George,
Second Duke of Cambridge,
through his military career.
Through this cousin of Queen
Victoria, the book explores the
changing relationship between the
military and the British monarchy
during the Victorian era.
“Well grounded in the archives,
this is an important study both
of the relationship between the
monarch and military and of the
British army as it struggled to cope
with the consequences of repeated
wars, international competition,
and technological and institutional
change.”—Jeremy Black, professor
of history, University of Exeter
“Farrell’s comprehensively
researched and convincingly
reasoned analysis establishes
Cambridge as not a onedimensional reactionary but as
a central figure in the complex
redefinition of the relationship of
armed forces, crown, and Parliament
during the mid-Victorian era.”
—Dennis Showalter, coeditor of If
the Allies Had Fallen: Sixty Alternate
Scenarios of World War II
