133373 BEEN IN THE STORM SO
LONG: The Aftermath of Slavery
Litwack, Leon F.
Based on hitherto unexamined interviews
with ex-slaves, diaries, and accounts by former slaveholders, this Pulitzer Prize-winning book shows how, during the Civil War
and after Emancipation, blacks and whites
interacted in ways that dramatized not only
their mutual dependency, but the ambiguities and tensions that had always been latent in "the peculiar
institution." 672pgs. • 1980
• Vintage • P • $24.00 / $9.98
125304 BLUES LEGACIES AND
BLACK FEMINISM: Gertrude "Ma"
Rainey, Bessie Smith, and Billie
Holiday
Davis, Angela Y.
In this volume, Davis suggests that "Ma"
Rainey, Bessie Smith, and Billie Holiday
represent a black working-class, feminist ideology and historical consciousness. Her illuminating analysis of the
songs performed by these artists provides readers with an
understanding of their musical and social contributions
and of their relation to both the African-American community and American culture. 464pgs. • 1999
• Vintage • P • $17.00 / $7.98
121247 CROSSING THE CONTINENT, 1527-1540: The
Story of the First African-American Explorer of the
American South
Goodwin, Robert
Nearly three centuries before Lewis and Clark's epic trek to
the Pacific coast, an African slave named Esteban Dorantes
became America's first great explorer and adventurer -- the
first pioneer from the Old World to explore the entirety of the
American South. Drawing on contemporary accounts, longlost records, and research in Spanish archives, here is a riveting true story of physical endurance, natural calamities, geographical wonders, and strange discoveries. 432pgs. • 2008
• HarperCollins • C • $25.95 / $6.98
111455 FAREWELL TO THE PARTY OF LINCOLN: Black
Politics in the Age of F. D. R.
Weiss, Nancy J.
Examines the dramatic shift of black voters from the
Republican to the Democratic Party in the 1930s, a shift all the
more striking in light of the Democrats' indifference to racial
concerns. Weiss shows that blacks became Democrats in
response to the economic benefits of the New Deal and voted
for Roosevelt in spite of the New Deal's lack of a substantive
record on race. 360pgs. • 1983
• Princeton • P • $30.95 / $15.98
125940 GOD'S LONG SUMMER: Stories of Faith and
Civil Rights
Marsh, Charles
In the summer of 1964, as the turmoil of the civil rights movement reached its peak in Mississippi, activists across the political spectrum claimed that God was on their side in the struggle. Through the emotionally charged stories of a wide range
of activists, Marsh invites us to consider the movement anew,
as a powerful yet protean religious force driving social action.

• Princeton • P • $24.95 / $11.98

Humor

poetry and prose, juxtaposed with the blues, hip-hop, political
speeches, and the world's funniest radio sermon. 496pgs. •

128770 KNOW WHAT I MEAN?:
Reflections on Hip-Hop
Dyson, Michael Eric
Hip-hop music has been a source of
controversy since it outgrew the block
parties that spawned it. Here Dyson
addresses the vexed gender relations
that have made rap music a lightning
rod for pundits; the commercial explosion that has made an art form a victim
of its success; and the political elements that have become
increasingly submerged. 208pgs. • 2010
• Basic Books • P • $13.95 / $6.98

issues of race and representation in
African-American culture. These readings

the milieu in which this figure existed, from almost every conceivable angle. 608pgs. • 2007

Board of Education and Black America's Struggle for
Equality

The definitive history of the landmark case Brown v. Board of
Education. Combining intensive research with original interviews with surviving participants, Kluger provides the fullest
possible view of the human and legal drama in the years
before 1954, the cumulative assaults on the white power structure, and the establishment of a team of inspired black lawyers
who were able to successfully challenge the law. 880pgs. •

• Vintage • P • $27.95 / $9.98
038604 WATER FROM THE ROCK:
Black Resistance in a Revolutionary
Age
Frey, Sylvia R.
The era of the American Revolution was
one of violent and unpredictable change,
and the dislocations of the period were
most severely felt in the South. Frey reveals
the dialectical relationships between slave
resistance, Britain's southern strategy, and
the white independence movement, and shows how these relationships transformed religion, law, and the economy during
the postwar years. 376pgs. • 1991

Everyday Deception and Popular
Discontent in Nigeria
Smith, Daniel Jordan
E-mails proposing an "urgent business
relationship" help make fraud Nigeria's
largest source of foreign revenue after oil,
but scams are also a central part of
Nigeria's domestic cultural landscape.

they try to get ahead -- or just survive -- in a society riddled
with corruption. 263pgs. • 2008

Tanzania, probably in the 1870s. After participating in slave-raiding safaris as a

120650 A RAINBOW IN THE NIGHT: The Tumultuous
Birth of South Africa
Lapierre, Dominique
In 1652 a small group of farmers sent by the powerful Dutch
India Company landed on the southernmost tip of Africa. Their
saga -- bloody, ferocious, and fervent -- culminated three centuries later in one of the greatest tragedies of history: the
establishment of the apartheid regime. Lapierre's epic account
of South Africa's history portrays the men and women -famous and obscure, white and black, European and African - who lived out the story. 320pgs. • 2009

133266 THE KILLER TRAIL: A
Colonial Scandal in the Heart of
Africa
Taithe, Bertrand
The Voulet-Chanoine mission left Dakar
in 1898 for the Lake Chad region, hoping to establish effective borders and
"pacify" a notoriously belligerent
region. But as this gripping account of
one of the most disturbing atrocities to
take place during the European "scramble for Africa"
reveals, the mission would leave a grisly trail of pillage,
murder, and enslavement in its wake. 304pgs. • 2009
• Oxford University • C • $34.95 / $9.98
133324 THE STRANGE ALCHEMY
OF LIFE AND LAW

Turn of the Century

059115 COERCION, CONTRACT AND FREE LABOR IN
THE NINETEENTH CENTURY
Steinfeld, Robert J.
Presents a fundamental reassessment of the nature of wage
labor in the 19th century, focusing on the use of sanctions to

THE “PECULIAR
INSTITUTION”
054910 DEBATING SLAVERY:
Economy and Society in the
Antebellum American South
Smith, Mark M.
Even while it existed, Americans debated
slavery. Was it a profitable and healthy
institution? If so, for whom?
Emancipation did not end this debate,
which still remains among the most hotly
disputed topics in American history. This
volume summarizes the contending viewpoints and weighs
the relative importance, strengths, and weaknesses of the
various interpretations. 117pgs. • 1999
• Cambridge • P • $25.99 / $7.98
038475 HONOR AND SLAVERY
Greenberg, Kenneth S.
The "honorable men" who ruled the Old South had a language all their own, one that reveals much about both the
lives of the slavemasters and the nature of slavery. As
Greenberg shows, heir language of honor embraced a complex system of phrases, gestures, and behaviors -- including
nose-pulling, outright lying, dueling, and gift-giving.

111814 LINCOLN ON RACE AND
SLAVERY
Gates, Henry Louis Jr. & Donald
Yacovone, eds.
The man who would be immortalized
as "the Great Emancipator" enjoyed
racist humor, harbored grave doubts
about the intellectual capacity of
African-Americans, and for many years
advocated the voluntary "colonization"
of freed slaves in Africa and elsewhere. This book -- the first
complete collection of his important writings on both race
and slavery -- explores these contradictions through
Lincoln's own words. 408pgs. • 2009
• Princeton • C • $24.95 / $12.98
114569 ROLL, JORDAN, ROLL: The World the
Slaves Made
Genovese, Eugene D.
Winner of the Bancroft Prize. “Genovese's great gift is his
ability to penetrate the minds of both slaves and masters,

other, but also how their contradictory perceptions interacted” -- David Brion Davis, The New York Times Book
Review 864pgs. • 1976
• Vintage • P • $21.00 / $9.98
122263 SLAVERY AND THE COMMERCE POWER:
How the Struggle Against the Interstate Slave Trade
Led to the Civil War
Lightner, David L.
The great cotton boom required human labor to bring new
lands under cultivation, and many thousands of slaves were
torn from their families and sold across state lines. Shocked
by the cruelty of this practice, abolitionists called upon the
federal government to outlaw interstate commerce in
slaves. This groundbreaking book unravels the complex
story of the decades-long debate and legal battle over federal regulation of the slave trade. 240pgs. • 2006
• Yale • C • $48.00 / $8.98

trades. 344pgs. • 2009

127620 COLONIZING HAWAI'I: The
Cultural Power of Law
Merry, Sally Engle
Reveals how indigenous Hawaiian law was
displaced by a transplanted AngloAmerican law as global movements of capitalism, Christianity, and imperialism swept
across the islands. The new law brought
novel systems of courts, prisons, and conceptions of discipline and dramatically

of the indigenous people of Hawai'i. 364pgs. • 1999

091694 A CONSPIRACY SO IMMENSE:
The World of Joe McCarthy
Oshinsky, David M.
Reveals the internal and external forces
that launched McCarthy on his political
career, brought him national prominence,
and finally triggered his downfall. More
than the life story of an intensely ambitious
man, A Conspiracy So Immense is a fascinating portrayal of America in the grip of
Cold War fear, anger, suspicion, and betrayal. 624pgs. • 2005
• Oxford University • P • $24.99 / $6.98
101080 THE END OF REFORM: New Deal
Liberalism in Recession and War
Brinkley, Alan
When FDR won a landslide victory in the 1936 elections,
the way seemed open for the New Deal to complete the
restructuring of American government it had begun in
1933. But, as Alan Brinkley makes clear, no sooner were
the votes counted than the New Deal began to encounter a
series of crippling political and economic problems that
stalled its agenda and forced an agonizing reappraisal of
the liberal ideas that had shaped it. 384pgs. • 1996
• Knopf • P • $16.95 / $6.98
125509 EVANGELIZING THE SOUTH: A Social History of
Church and State in Early America

Touching on the creation of a distinctive southern culture, the
position of women in the private and public arenas, family life

and the political culture of the early republic, Najar reveals the
history behind a religious heritage that remains a distinguishing mark of American society. 264pgs. • 2008

Roosevelt, and the International History of The 1940s

An examination of the Second World War and the origins of the
Cold War from the vantage point of two of the great powers of
that era, Britain and the US. Reynolds explores the social and
cultural implications of the wartime Anglo-American alliance,
particularly the impact of nearly three million GIs on British
life, and reflects more generally on the importance of cultural
issues in the study of international history. 374pgs. • 2007
126865 THE FUSILIERS: The Saga
of a British Redcoat Regiment in
the American Revolution
Urban, Mark
From Lexington Green in 1775 to
Yorktown in 1781, one British regiment, the Royal Welch Fusiliers,
marched thousands of miles and
fought a dozen battles to uphold
British rule. Their story, one of the few
untold sagas of the American Revolution, sheds light on the

038638 THE NAZI WAR ON CANCER
Proctor, Robert N.
Nazi Germany was also decades ahead of
other countries in promoting health
reforms that we today regard as progressive

Why did President Kennedy choose a

presence of missiles in Cuba made no

of that country? In this volume a former Defense

provide answers to such questions. 211pgs. • 2007

Scarry, Elaine
Taking inspiration from writers and thinkers as diverse as
Homer, Plato, Proust, and Iris Murdoch, Scarry writes an elegant, passionate manifesto for the revival of beauty in our intellectual work.

133298 PAPER PELLETS: British
Literary Culture after Waterloo
Cronin, Richard
British culture in the post-Waterloo years
was characterized not by what its leading
writers held in common but by the antagonisms that divided them, as England vied
with Scotland, literary and political principles mingled, and a volatile relationship
developed between the public and the private. This volume centers on three literary phenomena of the
period: Walter Scott's novels, Byron's Don Juan, and the new
literary magazines. 300pgs. • 2010
127363 POSTMODERN: American Literature and
Religion since 1960
Hungerford, Amy
How can intense religious beliefs coexist with pluralism?
Examining the role of the religious imagination in contemporary religious practice and in some of the best-known
works of American literature from the past 50 years, Amy
Hungerford shows how belief for its own sake -- a belief in
the absence of doctrine -- has become an answer to pluralism in a secular age. 224pgs. • 2010

108817 ROBERT SOUTHEY: Entire Man of Letters
Speck, William Allen
In his lifetime Robert Southey was very much the equal of his
fellow "Lake poets," Coleridge and Wordsworth. But since his
death his reputation has been overshadowed by their success.
Speck argues that even if Southey's poetry can no longer be
considered as significant, his other writings were more salient
and his political views far more influential than those of his fellow poets. 305pgs. • 2006

123041 THE ROMANCES OF CHRÉTIEN DE TROYES
Duggan, Joseph J.
Twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes was one of the

poems on the legend of King Arthur gave rise to a tradition of
storytelling that continues to this day. This study of all of

currents of his time. 408pgs. • 2001

Struggle
Meyers, Jeffrey
Drawing on a lifetime of study of Johnson
and his era, as well as a wide array of new
archival materials, Jeffrey Meyers tells the
extraordinary story of one of the great
geniuses of English letters. Johnson
emerges in his portrait as a mass of contradictions: lazy and energetic, aggressive
and tender, melancholy and witty, and simultaneously comforted and tormented by religion. 552pgs. • 2008
• Perseus • C • $35.00 / $12.98
050696 THE TEXTUAL CONDITION
McGann, Jerome J.
Over the past decade literary critic and editor Jerome McGann
has developed a theory of textuality centered on writing and
production rather than on reading and interpretation.
Drawing on literary examples from the past two centuries -including works by Byron, Blake, Morris, Yeats, Joyce, and
especially Pound -- here he applies his theory to key problems
in the study of texts and textuality. 208pgs. • 1991

128305 THE SHAPE OF THE SIGNIFIER: 1967 to the
End of History
Michaels, Walter Benn
In this critique of recent theory -- primarily literary but also
cultural and political -- Michaels examines what's really at
stake when we think of literature in terms of the experience of
the reader rather than the intention of the author, and when
we substitute the question of who people are for the question
of what they believe. 232pgs. • 2006

125659 WORSHIPPING WALT: The
Whitman Disciples
Robertson, Michael
Explores the highly charged connections
between Whitman and his followers,
including Canadian psychiatrist R. M.
Bucke, American nature writer John

prophet of a modern liberal spirituality. 368pgs. • 2010

126890 THE SPREAD OF NOVELS: Translation and
Prose Fiction in the Eighteenth Century
McMurran, M. H.
Fiction has always been in a state of transformation and circulation: how does this history of mobility inform the emergence of the novel? Demonstrating that translation was both
the cause and means by which the novel attained success,
McMurran shows how the 18th century signalled the end of
a premodern system of translation and the advent of modern literary exchange. 272pgs. • 2009

Enlightenment in Eighteenth-Century France
Feher, Michel, ed.
Everything one loves to hate -- or hates to love -- about
"French lovers" and their self-styled reputation can be
traced to 18th-century libertine literature represented in
this anthology. Obsessed with strategies of seduction, speculating endlessly about the motives and goals of lovers, the

107095 ON BULLSHIT
Frankfurt, Harry G.
One of the most salient features of our culture, Frankfurt argues, is that there is so
much bullshit -- a greater enemy of the

and how they quietly change the rules governing the conversation so that claims
about truth and falsity become irrelevant. 80pgs. • 2005

Colonization, and Cultural Change, 950-1350
Bartlett, Robert
From our modern perspective, we tend to think of the Europe
of the past as a colonizer, a series of empires that conquered

Europe in the Middle Ages was as much a product of a process

Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem
Bartlett, W. B.
In the 1180s the Christian kingdom of
Jerusalem was ruled by a weak puppet

Adler, Jonathan E.

SYMBOLIC FORMS: A Philosophical
Commentary
Bayer, Thora I.
Focuses on Cassirer's claim that philosophy
is not itself a symbolic form but the thought
around which all aspects of human activity

principles of Cassirer's early philosophy
are connected to the phenomenology of his
later philosophy, which is focused on his conception of "basis
phenomena" -- self, will, and work. 224pgs. • 2001

with Jacques Derrida
Derrida, Jacques & Catherine Malabou
This readerly text of quotations and commentary demonstrates how Derrida's
work, while appearing to be anything but a

catastrophe. 352pgs. • 2004

History of Philosophy

Whether expressed in theological or secular terms, evil confronts philosophy with fundamental questions. Neiman argues

morality demands that we do not. 376pgs. • 2004

VI

Mackie, Penelope
How are we to distinguish between the

CRISIS: A Textual Study

Theory of Justice

Charles Peirce and the Sign Hypothesis
Freadman, Anne
This radical reevaluation of one of the
foundational figures of semiotics presents
Peirce as the theorist of the "machinery of
talk" rather than of the mind and its contents. The author's comprehensive knowledge of Peirce's work brings an incisive
understanding to his notoriously elaborate
and complex theory of signs, at the same time challenging
standard readings in Peirce scholarship. 352pgs. • 2004

on Language, Mind, and Politics
Pettit, Philip
Hobbes's political views have garnered so
much attention that they have eclipsed his

Rorty, Richard
In this volume, which hit the philosophical world like a

questions about truth posed by Descartes, Kant, Hegel, and
modern epistemologists and philosophers of language were
unanswerable and, moreover, were irrelevant to serious
social and cultural inquiry. The book remains a must-read
for its insight into what philosophers can and cannot do to

Rorty, Richard
Rorty argues that thinkers such as
Nietzsche, Freud, and Wittgenstein have
enabled societies to see themselves as
historical contingencies, rather than as
expressions of underlying, ahistorical
human nature, or as realizations of
suprahistorical goals, but Rorty himself
believes that it is literature and not philosophy that can do
this, by promoting a genuine sense of human solidarity.

128341 OUT OF EDEN: Adam and Eve and the Problem
of Evil
Kahn, Paul W.
Focusing on the existential roots of evil rather than on the
occasions for its appearance, Kahn argues that evil originates
in man's flight from death. As his interpretations of Genesis
lead him to inquiries into a variety of modern forms of evil -including slavery, torture, and genocide -- he urges us to see
that the opposite of evil is not good, but love: while evil would
master death, love would transcend it. 248pgs. • 2010

Dienstag, Joshua Foa
In this powerful defense of pessimism's claim that progress is
not an inevitable or enduring feature of human history,

Shoemaker, Sydney
Physicalism requires that the mental properties of a person are "realized in" the
physical properties of that person, and that
all instantiations of properties in macroscopic objects are realized in microphysical states of affairs. Shoemaker offers an

one which allows the realized properties to

104359 THE REASONS OF LOVE
Frankfurt, Harry G.
One of the world's leading moral philosophers argues that the
key to a fulfilled life is to pursue wholeheartedly what one
cares about, that love is the most authoritative form of caring,
and that the most basic and essential question for a person to
raise about the conduct of his or her life is not what he or she
should care about but what, in fact, he or she cannot help caring about. 100pgs. • 2005

117309 THE RETREAT OF REASON: A Dilemma in the
Philosophy of Life
Persson, Ingmar
The ancient Greeks thought that a life led in accordance with
reason would also be the happiest or most fulfilling. Starting
from this perspective, Persson arrives at conclusions that are
very different; by exploring the irrationality of our attitudes to
time, our identity, and our responsibility, he shows that the aim
of living rationally conflicts not only with the aim of leading the
most fulfilling life, but also with the moral aim of promoting
the just distribution of fulfillment for all. 504pgs. • 2008

connects his thought with ongoing debates in philosophy.

125834 PUTTING LIBERALISM IN ITS PLACE
Kahn, Paul W.
Argues that the modern political order is founded not on the
social contract but on sacrifice, and that liberalism's traditional reliance on the social contract is unable to come to
terms with the threat of complete nuclear annihilation. We can

Phenomenology of the Self
Jung, C. G.
The central theme of the volume is the
symbolic representation of the psychic
totality through the concept of the Self,

Power of Diversity Creates Better
Groups, Firms, Schools, and Societies
Page, Scott E.
Why do teams of people usually find better
solutions than brilliant individuals working
alone? And why are the best group decisions and predictions those that draw upon
the very qualities that make each of us

CIVILIZATION: The Race to Global
Consciousness in a World in Crisis

The human-made environment is rapidly morphing into a global space, yet our
existing modes of consciousness are

Curve Myth

capacity to become true democratic citizens. 178pgs. •

Universities
Massey, Douglas S., et al.
Drawing on a major new source of data -the National Longitudinal Survey of
Freshmen -- the authors investigate the

LIBERAL ARTS?: Classroom Politics
and Bias in Higher Education
Bérubé, Michael
In this definitive rebuttal to conservative
activists' most incendiary claims about
American universities, Bérubé makes a supple case for liberalism itself -- for the cause

liberal insistence that no single faction should attain dominance
over all of a society's civil institutions. 344pgs. • 2006

from the disappearance of blue-collar jobs in a globalized
economy. 352pgs. • 1997
• Vintage • P • $15.95 / $5.98

White

106809 THE DEATH AND LIFE OF GREAT
AMERICAN CITIES
Jacobs, Jane
An indictment of the short-sightedness and intellectual
arrogance that has characterized much of modern urban
planning. Jacobs writes about what makes streets safe or
unsafe; about what constitutes a neighborhood, and what
function it serves within the larger organism of the city;
about why some neighborhoods remain impoverished
while others regenerate themselves. 480pgs. • 1992

City after Dark in Literature, Painting,
and Photography, 1850-1950
Sharpe, W. C.
As early as the 1850s, gaslight tempted
New Yorkers out into a burgeoning
nightlife filled with shopping, dining, and
dancing. This book traces key literary and
visual metaphors of the nighttime city: a
seductive Babylon in the mid-1850s, a
misty fairyland colonized by an empire of light in the early
20th century, and a skyscraper-studded land of desire that
became a stage for the voyeurism and violence of the 1940s
and 1950s. 456pgs. • 2008

York, the shaper not only of the city's politics but of its

plague us today. 1344pgs. • 1975
