050556 AMERICAN CRUCIBLE: Race

Gerstle, Gary
Is the United States a social melting pot, as
our civic creed warrants, or is full citizenship somehow reserved for those who are

Gary Gerstle traces the forces of civic and
racial nationalism, arguing that both have
profoundly shaped our society. 454pgs. • 2001

LIZBETH A. COHEN
✪ 114580 A CONSUMERS'
REPUBLIC: The Politics of Mass
Consumption in Postwar America
Cohen, Lizabeth
Trumpeted as a means to promote the
general welfare, mass consumption
became synonymous with patriotism,
social equality, and the American
Dream. Yet despite undeniable successes, it also fostered economic inequality
and the fracturing of society along gender, class, and racial
lines. In charting this complex legacy, Cohen has written a
bold, encompassing, and profoundly influential book.

Chicago, 1919-1939
NEW EDITION
Cohen, Lizabeth
Examines the process through which ordinary Chicago factory workers became effective unionists and participants in

they demonstrated their political loyalties in other ways,
overcoming longstanding divisions in order to mount new
kinds of collective action. 494pgs. • 2007

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

and sexual conduct of the indigenous people of Hawai'i.

126013 CHEROKEE RENASCENCE 1789-1833
McLoughlin, William G.
The most important tribe in the formative years of the
American Republic, the Cherokee became the test case for the
Founding Fathers' determination to Christianize and "civilize"
Indians and to incorporate them into the republic as full citizens. Working from the perspective of the Cherokee, rather
than that of the white policymakers, McLoughlin tells the dramatic success story of the "renascence" of the tribe. 496pgs.

135559 COLD WAR CIVIL RIGHTS:
Race and the Image of American
Democracy
Dudziak, Mary L.
During the Cold War, American racism was
a major concern of US allies, a chief Soviet
propaganda theme, and a stumbling point
to American strategies in Africa, Asia, and
Latin America. Interpreting postwar civil
rights as a Cold War feature, Mary Dudziak
argues that the Cold War helped facilitate key social reforms,
including desegregation. 352pgs. • 2011

Doesn't Mean What It Meant Before

156086 THE CONTOURS OF AMERICAN HISTORY
Appleman Williams, William
This volume, first published in 1961, reached back to 17thcentury British history to argue that the relationship between

new readership. 513pgs. • 2011

In this absorbing chronicle of the role of race in US history,

President, 1961-1963

As Alan Brinkley shows, the reality of

complex than the legend. His brief presidency encountered significant failures,
including the Bay of Pigs fiasco, which cast
its shadow on nearly every national security decision that followed. But Kennedy also
had successes, among them the Cuban Missile Crisis and his
belated but powerful stand against segregation. 224pgs. •

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.

✪ 088022 MANIFEST MANHOOD AND
THE ANTEBELLUM AMERICAN EMPIRE
Greenberg, Amy S.
The US-Mexico War brought two centuries
of dramatic territorial expansionism to a
close, and apparently fulfilled America's
Manifest Destiny. Or did it? This book documents the potency of Manifest Destiny in
the antebellum era, and analyzes imperial
lust in the context of the social and economic transformations that were changing the definition of
gender in the U.S. 342pgs. • 2005

✪ 101111 MORNING IN AMERICA:
How Ronald Reagan Invented the
1980's
Troy, Gil
Highlights the contradictions of Reagan's
conservatism, with its emphasis on wealth
and glamour on the one hand and, on the
other, an ascetic streak that recoiled at
excess. The Reagan that emerges is less the
captain steering American culture than a
symbol whose strength lay in placing his finger on the pulse of
the American id. 448pgs. • 2007

114573 THE PEOPLING OF BRITISH NORTH AMERICA:
An Introduction
Bailyn, Bernard

from the Old World to the North American continent, a transfer that established the foundations of the American society
that was to develop. 192pgs. • 1988

Historical Assessment

the decisions he did. 398pgs. • 2010

✪ 117043 THE RADICALISM OF
THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
Wood, Gordon S.
In a grand synthesis of historical, political, cultural, and economic analysis, a
prize-winning historian depicts the
struggle for independence as much
more than just a break with the mother
country. He gives readers a revolution
that transformed an almost feudal society into a democratic one, whose emerging realities sometimes baffled and disappointed its founding fathers.

Memory, Commemoration, and
Patriotism in the Twentieth Century
Bodnar, John
Examining public events ranging from the
building of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
through ethnic community fairs to pioneer
celebrations, Bodnar explores the stories,
ideas, and symbols behind American commemorations over the last century. Such
forms of historical consciousness, he argues, often serve not
to preserve the past but to address political concerns in the
present. 318pgs. • 1993

NEW YORK CITY
✪ 125735 AMERICAN MODERNS: Bohemian New

modern America. 432pgs. • 2009

112304 SLAVERY IN WHITE AND
BLACK: Class and Race in the
Southern Slaveholders' New World
Order
Genovese, Eugene D. & Elizabeth FoxGenovese
Not only did Southern slaveholders and
their defenders proclaim that their slaves
enjoyed a better and more secure life than
any laboring class in the world, some
argued that the lives of laborers of all races would be
improved by enslavement. In this book, two acclaimed scholars examine the extent to which the various social classes of
the South were led to accept so extreme a doctrine. 332pgs.

051197 STANDING SOLDIERS, KNEELING SLAVES: Race,
War, and Monument in Nineteenth-Century America
Savage, Kirk
At the same time that the Civil War challenged the nation to
reexamine the meaning of freedom, Americans began to erect
public monuments as never before. Looking at monuments
built and unbuilt, Savage shows how an old image of black
slavery was perpetuated while a new image of the common
white soldier was launched in public space. 270pgs. • 1997

how the progressive connection was lost and explaining the
consequences that followed. 336pgs. • 2009

Paintings and Drawings 1932-1960
Rewald, Sabine, ed.
Balthus's art was a sensuous and poetical

Quattrocento fresco -- in other words, at
no point did his work fit into any readily
defined school or category. This extraordinary illustrated volume, published on the occasion of the
artist's centenary, is devoted to the early masterpieces.

✪ 085409 AMERICAN WRITERS AT HOME
PHOTOGRAPHS BY ERICA LENNARD
McClatchy, J. D.
Faulkner traced the complex plots of his novels on his walls;
Hawthorne's windowpanes served as a constantly present
commonplace book. Melville imagined his study was the
Pequod, while Welty and Jewett wrote primarily in their bedrooms. Through 21 intimate portraits of writers ranging from
the early 19th to the mid-20th century, accompanied by
superbly evocative photographs, McClatchy and Lennard
reveal where and how some of America's most brilliant writers lived and worked. As McClatchy writes in his Introduction,
"This is not a book about writers, or about houses, or about
America. It is a book about where and why and how American
writers made a home for themselves -- a place to live, yes, but
above all a place to work -- in a restless, rugged country."

Without Words (1936), a protest against

Each of West's novels is distinct in style and
theme. In The Dream Life of Balso Snell, he
freely mixes high-flown literary and religious allusions with erotic and scatological
humor. Miss Lonelyhearts presents the spiritual breakdown of
a newspaper columnist overwhelmed by his readers' suffering;
by contrast, A Cool Million reduces the eternal optimism of
Horatio Alger's novels to a brutal, cartoonish farce. In his last
work, The Day of the Locust, West renders with hallucinatory
precision the reverse side of the Hollywood dream, 829pgs. •

MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE SPAIN
Christian, William A., Jr.

affect human affairs, even what they look
like. The most direct evidence, from reported face-to-face meetings with the holy ones,
is the subject of this fascinating book.
