Breaking Ground
My Life in Medicine
Dr. Louis W. Sullivan, with David Chanoff
Foreword by Ambassador Andrew Young
The compelling life story of a towering champion
of higher education, medicine, and accessible
health care for all
“Lou Sullivan has always believed that addressing the health requirements
of the country’s neediest—its minorities and poor—will bring the greatest
benefit to society as a whole. That was the theme of his tenure as secretary, and that has been the impact of the medical school he founded. In
this book he writes with clarity, passion, and humor about the life he has
led and the issues that dominate our current health care debates.”
—from the foreword by Ambassador Andrew Young
“Lou Sullivan’s life story offers a compelling chronicle of how vision and
perseverance can overcome daunting obstacles. Sullivan is a genuine
American hero, and his life stands as a testament to how devotion to the
service of others can breech any barrier and ascend any height.”
—Jordan J. Cohen, M.D., MACP, President Emeritus, Association of American Medical Colleges
“In this dramatic and revealing memoir that takes us from the segregated
backwoods of Georgia to the founding of the nation’s premier African
American medical school and the cabinet of President George H. W. Bush,
Lou Sullivan shows how commitment, courage, a sense of humor, and a
passion for health promotion and disease prevention can make life better
for all Americans.”—Joseph A. Califano, Jr., top White House assistant for
domestic affairs under President Lyndon Johnson and secretary of Health,
Education, and Welfare in the Carter administration
“Louis Sullivan proved that when leadership is rooted in compassion and
exercised with courage, it can be a powerful source of change. This book
provides insight into his personal roots, his professional drive, and his
historic decisions.”—Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, President and CEO, Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation

“I don’t think I really appreciated the man Louis Sullivan is until I read
Breaking Ground. He is a true American hero.”—President George H. W. Bush
While Louis W. Sullivan was a student at
Morehouse College, Morehouse president
Benjamin Mays said something to the student
body that stuck with him for the rest of his life.
“The tragedy of life is not failing to reach our
goals,” Mays said. “It is not having goals to reach.”
In Breaking Ground, Sullivan recounts
his extraordinary life beginning with his
childhood in Jim Crow south Georgia and
continuing through his trailblazing endeavors
training to become a physician in an almost
entirely white environment in the Northeast,
founding and then leading the Morehouse
School of Medicine in Atlanta, and serving as
secretary of Health and Human Services in
President George H. W. Bush’s administration.
Throughout this extraordinary life Sullivan has
passionately championed both improved health
care and increased access to medical professions
for the poor and people of color.
At five years old, Louis Sullivan declared
to his mother that he wanted to be a doctor.
Given the harsh segregation in Blakely,
Georgia, and its lack of adequate schools for
African Americans at the time, his parents sent
Louis and his brother, Walter, to Savannah
and later Atlanta, where greater educational
opportunities existed for blacks.
After attending Booker T. Washington High
School and Morehouse College, Sullivan went
to medical school at Boston University—he was
the sole African American student in his class.
He eventually became the chief of hematology
there until Hugh Gloster, the president of
Morehouse College, presented him with an
opportunity he couldn’t refuse: Would Sullivan
be the founding dean of Morehouse’s new
medical school? He agreed and went on to
create a state-of-the-art institution dedicated
to helping poor and minority students become
doctors. During this period he established
long-lasting relationships with George H. W.
and Barbara Bush that would eventually result
in his becoming the secretary of Health and
Human Services in 1989.
Sullivan details his experiences in Washington
dealing with the burgeoning AIDS crisis, PETA
activists, and antismoking efforts, along with his
efforts to push through comprehensive health
care reform decades before the Affordable Care
Act. Along the way his interactions with a cast
of politicos, including Thurgood Marshall, Jack
Kemp, Clarence Thomas, Jesse Helms, and the
Bushes, capture vividly a particular moment in
recent history.
Sullivan’s life—from Morehouse to the
White House and his ongoing work with
medical students in South Africa—is the
embodiment of the hopes and progress that the
civil rights movement fought to achieve. His
story should inspire future generations—of all
backgrounds—to aspire to great things.
dr. louis w. sullivan is the founding
dean and first president of Morehouse School
of Medicine (now president emeritus). He was
secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services during the George H. W. Bush
administration. He is chair of the board of the
National Health Museum in Atlanta and the
Washington, D.C.–based Sullivan Alliance to
Transform America’s Health Professionals. He is
author of The Morehouse Mystique: Becoming a
Doctor at the Nation’s Newest African American
Medical School (with Marybeth Gasman).
david chanoff has written for the New
York Times Magazine, the Washington Post, and
the New Republic. His sixteen books include
collaborations with former surgeon general
Joycelyn Elders, former chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff Admiral William Crowe Jr., and
Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon.

American Afterlife
Encounters in the Customs of Mourning
Kate Sweeney
A remarkably touching and humorous narrative
about death in America
“From cooling boards to cremationists, obituarists to embalmers, Kate
Sweeney’s American Afterlife holds a mirror up to human mortality and
mortuary praxis and gives us a reading of the vital signs. Her book braces
and emboldens our eschatological nerve—a reliable witness and wellwrought litany to last things and final details.”—Thomas Lynch, author of
The Undertaking: Life Studies from the Dismal Trade
“At a brisk pace, but with frequent stops to relish the magnificent oddities
of the terrain, Kate Sweeney guides readers down the lanes and boulevards of the American way of death. As we look into the grave, she looks
at us, with an unflinching gaze that would be the envy of Jessica Mitford.
Revelatory and—dare I say it?—terrifically entertaining.”—Peter Trachtenberg, author of Another Insane Devotion: On the Love of Cats and Persons
“American Afterlife is an insightful, warm, and lively tour of how we say
goodbye. Kate Sweeney’s quest for the ‘why’ behind mourning rituals has
given us a book in the best tradition of narrative journalism.”
—Jessica Handler, author of Braving the Fire: A Guide to Writing
about Grief and Loss
Someone dies. What happens next?
One family inters their matriarch’s ashes
on the floor of the ocean. Another holds a
memorial weenie roast each year at a greenburial cemetery. An 1898 ad for embalming
fluid promises, “You can make mummies with
it!” while a leading contemporary burial vault
is touted as impervious to the elements. A
grieving mother, 150 years ago, might spend her
days tending a garden at her daughter’s grave.
Today, she might tend the roadside memorial
she erected at the spot her daughter was killed.
One mother wears a locket containing her
daughter’s hair; the other, a necklace
containing her ashes.
What happens after someone dies depends
on our personal stories and on where those
stories fall in a larger tale—that of death in
America. It’s a powerful tale that we usually
keep hidden from our everyday lives until we
have to face it.
American Afterlife by Kate Sweeney reveals
this world through a collective portrait
of Americans past and present who find
themselves personally involved with death: a
klatch of obit writers in the desert, a funeral
voyage on the Atlantic, a fourth-generation
funeral director—even a midwestern museum
that takes us back in time to meet our deathobsessed Victorian progenitors. Each story
illuminates details in another until something
larger is revealed: a landscape that feels at once
strange and familiar, one that’s by turns odd,
tragic, poignant, and sometimes even funny.

has won two Edward R. Murrow awards and
two Associated Press awards for her work.

Pirates You Don’t Know, and Other
Adventures in the Examined Life
Collected Essays
John Griswold
A gorgeous and profound look at life, death,
transience, toil, class, and family
“I generally feel indifference for books about writing by writers or anybody.
But this one I unabashedly love, embrace, scribble in, underline, copy,
quote out loud to my wife. I say without reservation, John Griswold is one
of the best essayists inhabiting this land.”—Bob Shacochis, author of
The Woman Who Lost Her Soul
“In this beautiful book about striving and surviving, every essay displays a
well-stocked brain grappling with life’s thorny problems.”—Debra Monroe,
author of On the Outskirts of Normal
“In examining his life as teacher, father, husband, son, Griswold causes us
to consider our own lives and how we spend them. These essays are wise,
hilarious, and necessary.”—John Warner, author of the novel The Funny
Man and editor of McSweeney’s Internet Tendency
For nearly ten years John Griswold has been
publishing his essays in Inside Higher Ed,
McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Brevity, Ninth
Letter, and Adjunct Advocate, many under the
pen name Oronte Churm. Churm’s topics have
ranged widely, exploring themes such as the
writing life and the utility of creative-writing
classes, race issues in a university town, and the
beautiful, protective crocodiles that lie patiently
waiting in the minds of fathers.
Though Griswold recently entered the
tenure stream, much of his experience, at a
Big Ten university, has been as an adjunct
lecturer—that tenuous and uncertain position
so many now occupy in higher education.
In Pirates You Don’t Know, Griswold writes
poignantly and hilariously about the contingent
nature of this life, tying it to his birth in the last
American enclave in Saigon during the Vietnam
War, his upbringing in a coal town in southern
Illinois, and his experience as an army deep-sea
diver and frogman. He investigates class in
America through four generations of his family
and portrays the continuing joys and challenges
of fatherhood while making a living, becoming
literate, and staying open to the world. But
Griswold’s central concerns apply to everyone:
What does it mean to be educated? What does
it mean to think, feel, create, and be whole?
What is the point of this particular journey?
Pirates You Don’t Know is Griswold’s vital
attempt at making sense of his life as a writer
and now professor. The answers for him are
both comic and profound: “Picture Long John
Silver at the end of the movie, his dory filled
with stolen gold, rowing and sinking; rowing,
sinking, and gloating.”

the MFA program at McNeese State University
and the editor of the McNeese Review. He is the
author of the novel A Democracy of Ghosts and

Cornbread Nation 7
The Best of Southern Food Writing
Edited by Francis Lam
John T. Edge, general editor
The latest collection of the best in Southern foodways
writing, on what food means to outsiders, insiders,
and everyone in between
Praise for earlier editions of Cornbread Nation:
“Could ultimately be the best ongoing collection of food writing in
America today.”—Edible Memphis
“Like taking a road trip to deliciously obscure spots all over the region, filling
up on barbecue, chicken mull and honeysuckle sorbet along the way.”
—Charleston Magazine
“An annual feast of food writing.”—New Orleans Times-Picayune
“Rich with food lore.”­—Atlanta Journal-Constitution
How does Southern food look from the outside?
The form is caught in constantly dueling
stereotypes: It’s so often imagined as either
the touchingly down-home feast or the heartstopping health scourge of a nation. But as any
Southern transplant will tell you once they’ve
spent time in the region, Southerners share their
lives in food, with a complex mix of stories of
belonging and not belonging and of traditions
that form identities of many kinds.
Cornbread Nation 7, edited by Francis Lam,
brings together the best Southern food writing
from recent years, including well-known food
writers such as Sara Roahen and Brett Anderson,
a couple of classic writers such as Langston
Hughes, and some newcomers. The collection,
divided into five sections (“Come In and Stay
Awhile,” “Provisions and Providers,” “Five Ways
of Looking at Southern Food,” “The South,
Stepping Out,” and “Southerners Going Home”),
tells the stories both of Southerners as they move
through the world and of those who ended up
in the South. It explores from where and from
whom food comes, and it looks at what food
means to culture and how it relates to home.
francis lam is editor-at-large at Clarkson
Potter. He appears at the Critics’ Table in the
fifth season of Top Chef Masters (Bravo). He
was features editor at Gilt Taste, which was
awarded six IACP awards and four James Beard
award nominations in its first two years. His
own writing has been nominated for a James
Beard award and three IACP awards, winning
one. He has served as senior writer at
Salon.com and a contributing editor at
Gourmet, and his work has appeared in the
2006–13 editions of Best Food Writing.

Visible Man
The Life of Henry Dumas
Jeffrey B. Leak
The long-awaited biography of an unsung literary legend
“Visible Man enacts a straightforward deconstruction of the life and time of
the poet and writer. Leak shines a piercing light on the mystery of the artist
who possessed ‘moments of brilliance’; the names and cities, the spiritual and
intellectual quests, the poems and short stories, the facts, it all adds up, page
by page. The reader, who journeys all the crooked paths side by side with
Dumas, isn’t surprised by his violent death. But still we are left saddened and
disheartened by the man’s downfall and anguish, his inability to master promise,
his demise on that subway platform in New York City, mainly because Leak’s
blunt clarity has transported us to a place of reckoning where we are also left
gazing into the collective mirror.”—Yusef Komunyakaa, author of Testimony, A
Tribute to Charlie Parker
“We need this work. Leak sets so much of the record straight and knows Dumas’s
creative output thoroughly. The best aspect of the book, though, is the amazing
story with which Leak is working. This is an extremely rewarding read.”
—Keith Gilyard, author of John Oliver Killens: A Life of Black Literary Activism
Henry Dumas (1934–1968) was a writer who
did not live to see most of his fiction and poetry
in print. A son of Sweet Home, Arkansas, and
Harlem, he devoted himself to the creation
of a black literary cosmos, one in which black
literature and culture were windows into the
human condition. While he certainly should be
understood in the context of the cultural and
political movements of the 1960s—Black Arts,
Black Power, and Civil Rights—his writing, and
ultimately his life, were filled with ambiguities
and contradictions.
Dumas was shot and killed in 1968 in
Harlem months before his thirty-fourth
birthday by a white transit policeman under
circumstances never fully explained. After his
death he became a kind of literary legend, but
one whose full story was unknown. A devoted
cadre of friends and later admirers from the
1970s to the present pushed for the publication
of his work. Toni Morrison championed him
as “an absolute genius.” Amiri Baraka, a writer
not quick to praise others, claimed that Dumas
produced “actual art, real, man, and stunning.”
Eugene Redmond and Quincy Troupe heralded
Dumas’s poetry, short stories, and work as an
editor of “little” magazines.
With Visible Man, Jeffrey B. Leak offers a
full examination of both Dumas’s life and his
creative development. Given unprecedented
access to the Dumas archival materials and
numerous interviews with family, friends, and
writers who knew him in various contexts, Leak
opens the door to Dumas’s rich and at times
frustrating life, giving us a layered portrait of
an African American writer and his coming
of age during one of the most volatile and
transformative decades in American history.
jeffrey b. leak is an associate professor of
English and director of the Center for the Study
of the New South at the University of North
Carolina–Charlotte. He is the editor of Rac(e)ing
to the Right: Selected Essays of George S. Schuyler
and the author of Racial Myths and Masculinity
in African American Literature.

Slavery and Freedom in Savannah
Edited by Leslie M. Harris and Daina Ramey Berry
Savannah’s role in the history of slavery,
emancipation, and the emergence of African
American life and culture
“Based on extensive and original research, as well as on a close
understanding of the broader issues in the history of slavery and race
relations, this marvelous collection of essays adds enormously to our
understanding of the struggles and achievements of black Savannahians.
An invaluable study, and one which no student of the black populations of
other southern towns and cities can afford to ignore.”—Betty Wood,
author of Slavery in Colonial America, 1619–1776
“Slavery and Freedom in Savannah provides a fascinating, multifaceted,
documented look inside this storied city during tumultuous times. With an
emphasis on African American experience and relations across the color line,
each chapter opens an illuminating window into the always complex, often
unexpected nature of urban life in the South from the period of the slave
trade through the early twentieth-century struggle for black civil rights.”

Slavery and Freedom in Savannah is a richly
illustrated, accessibly written book modeled on
the very successful Slavery in New York, a volume
Leslie M. Harris coedited with Ira Berlin. Here
Harris and Daina Ramey Berry have collected a
variety of perspectives on slavery, emancipation,
and black life in Savannah from the city’s founding
to the early twentieth century. Written by leading
historians of Savannah, Georgia, and the South,
the volume includes a mix of longer thematic
essays and shorter sidebars focusing on individual
people, events, and places.
The story of slavery in Savannah may seem
to be an outlier, given how strongly most people
associate slavery with rural plantations. But as
Harris, Berry, and the other contributors point out,
urban slavery was instrumental to the slave-based
economy of North America. Ports like Savannah
served as both an entry point for slaves and as a
point of departure for goods produced by slave
labor in the hinterlands. Moreover, Savannah’s
connection to slavery was not simply abstract.
The system of slavery as experienced by African
Americans and enforced by whites influenced the
very shape of the city, including the building of its
infrastructure, the legal system created to support
it, and the economic life of the city and its rural
surroundings. Slavery and Freedom in Savannah
restores the urban African American population
and the urban context of slavery, Civil War, and
emancipation to its rightful place, and it deepens
our understanding of the economic, social, and
political fabric of the U.S. South.
This volume is published in cooperation with
Savannah’s Telfair Museum and draws upon its
expertise and collections, including Telfair’s OwensThomas House. As part of their ongoing efforts
to document the lives and labors of the African
Americans—enslaved and free—who built and
worked at the house, this volume also explores the
Owens, Thomas, and Telfair families and the ways in
which their ownership of slaves was foundational to
their wealth and worldview.

of history at Emory University in Atlanta. She is
the author of In the Shadow of Slavery: African
Americans in New York City, 1626–1863 and
coeditor of Slavery in New York.

Truman Capote
A Literary Life at the Movies
Tison Pugh
A compelling journey through Truman Capote’s
cinematic legacy
“Tison Pugh gives us a thoroughly researched, interpretive, and insightful
examination of all the ways Capote’s writing talents, conspicuous celebrity, and
uncloseted sexuality intersected in movies and television. Though Capote’s
literary reputation primarily rests on his fiction and nonfiction, Pugh illuminates
Capote’s versatility in adapting screenplays from the original works of other
writers, in his cinematic style in his own original work, in the often subtle
gay-themed subtexts of much of his most famous work, and in his unique
performance of his gay-celebrity persona, a persona that ultimately influenced
estimates of Capote’s literary achievements, inextricably linking his writing with
his life. Pugh’s book is an invaluable contribution to the fullest possible picture of
one of America’s greatest, most versatile, and most conspicuous writers.”
—Ralph F. Voss, author of Truman Capote and the Legacy of “In Cold Blood”
Truman Capote once remarked, “My primary
thing is that I’m a prose writer. I don’t think
film is the greatest living thing”; nonetheless,
his legacy is in many ways defined by his
complex relationship with cinema, Hollywood,
and celebrity itself. In Truman Capote:
A Literary Life at the Movies, Tison Pugh
explores the author and his literature through
a cinematic lens, skillfully weaving the most
relevant elements of Capote’s biography—
including his highly flamboyant public persona
and his friendships and feuds with notable
stars—with insightful critical analysis of the
films, screenplays, and adaptations of his works
that composed his fraught relationship with the
Hollywood machine.
Capote’s masterful short stories and novels
ensure his status as an iconic author of the
twentieth century, and his screenplays, including
Beat the Devil, Indiscretion of an American Wife,
and The Innocents, allowed him to collaborate
with such Hollywood heavyweights as Humphrey
Bogart, John Huston, and David O. Selznick.
Throughout his professional life he circulated
freely in a celebrity milieu populated by such
notables as Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor,
and Marilyn Monroe. Cinematic adaptations of
his literature, most notably Breakfast at Tiffany’s
and In Cold Blood, play with or otherwise alter
Capote’s queer literary themes, often bleaching
his daring treatment of homosexuality in favor of
heterosexual romance.
Truman Capote: A Literary Life at the Movies
reveals Capote’s literary works to be not merely
coincident to film but integral to their mutual
creation, paying keen attention to the ways in
which Capote’s identity as a gay southerner
influenced his and others’ perceptions of his
literature and its adaptations. Pugh’s research
illuminates Capote’s personal and professional
successes and disappointments in the film
industry, helping to create a more nuanced
portrait of the author and bringing fresh
details to light.

What They Wished For
American Catholics and American Presidents, 1960–2004
Lawrence J. McAndrews
The extraordinary rise of Catholic influence in
presidential politics, from Kennedy to Kerry
“I know of no book quite like this one; it examines the changing relationship
between presidents and Catholics on three major political-religious issues: war
and peace; social justice; life and death. The book is a must-read for all those
interested in the relationship between religion and politics in recent American
history.”—Patrick W. Carey, author of American Catholic Religious Thought: The
Shaping of a Theological and Social Tradition
“Lawrence J. McAndrews has written a superb study of American Catholicism’s
influence on the nation’s politics. No one has told this story before. A truly
original study, based on extensive research, it is a major contribution not only to
the history of American Catholicism but also to the nation’s political history.”
—Jay P. Dolan, author of In Search of an American Catholicism: A History of
Religion and Culture in Tension
As a religious bloc, Roman Catholics constitute
the most populous religious denomination
in the United States, comprising one in four
Americans. With the election of John F.
Kennedy as president in 1960, they attained
a political prominence to match their rapidly
ascending socioeconomic and cultural
profile. From Vietnam to Iraq, the civil rights
movement to federal funding for faith-based
initiatives, and from birth control to abortion,
American Catholics have won at least as often
as they have lost. What They Wished For by
Lawrence J. McAndrews traces the role of
American Catholics in presidential policies and
politics from 1960 until 2004.
Though divided by race, class, gender, and
party, Catholics have influenced issues of war
and peace, social justice, and life and death
among modern presidents in a profound way,
starting with the election of President Kennedy
and expanding their influence through the
intervening years with subsequent presidents.
McAndrews shows that American Catholics, led
by their bishops and in some cases their pope,
have been remarkably successful in shaping the
political dialogue and at helping to effect policy
outcomes inside and outside of Washington.
Indeed, although they opened this era by
helping to elect one of their own, Catholic
voters have gained so much influence and
have become so secure in their socioeconomic
status—and so confident in their political
standing—that they closed the era by rejecting
one of their own, voting for George W. Bush
over John Kerry in 2004.

The Faiths of the Postwar Presidents
From Truman to Obama
David L. Holmes
A compelling look at the role of religion in American
politics and culture
“This is an admirable and colorful yet balanced look at our recent Presidents and
their religious beliefs. It will have wide appeal for all readers and particularly for
those interested in presidential history.”—Library Journal
“Holmes . . . examines the backgrounds of our presidents since WWII by delving
into their families, the people who influenced their religious beliefs, and their
patterns of attending Sunday worship. . . . [I]t is well-researched reading for the
reader who wants to know about the presidency.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Holmes has written a valuable reference for scholars working on a variety of
topics relating to both religion and the presidency.”—Political Science Quarterly
In The Faiths of the Postwar Presidents David L.
Holmes examines not only the beliefs professed
by each president but also the variety of possible
influences on their religious faith, such as their
upbringing, education, and the faith of their
spouse. In each profile close observers such as
clergy, family members, friends, and advisors
recall churchgoing habits, notable displays of
faith (or the lack of it), and the influence of their
faiths on policies concerning abortion, the death
penalty, Israel, and other controversial issues.
Whether discussing John F. Kennedy’s
philandering and secularity or Richard Nixon’s
betrayal of Billy Graham’s naive trust during
Watergate, Holmes includes telling and often
colorful details not widely known or long
forgotten. We are reminded, for instance,
how Dwight Eisenhower tried to conceal the
background of his parents in the Jehovah’s
Witnesses and how the Reverend Cotesworth
Lewis’s sermonizing to Lyndon Johnson on the
Vietnam War was actually not a left- but a
right-wing critique.
National interest in the faiths of our
presidents is as strong as ever, as shown by
the media frenzy engendered by George W.
Bush’s claim that Jesus was his favorite political
philosopher or Barack Obama’s parting with
his minister, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
Holmes’s work adds depth, insight, and color to
this important national topic.

Phillis Wheatley
Biography of a Genius in Bondage
Vincent Carretta
The definitive biography of a pivotal figure
in African American letters
“Vincent Carretta has written a biography of this great writer as complex and
as nuanced as Wheatley and her work themselves. This book resurrects the
‘mother’ of the African American literary tradition, vividly, scrupulously, and
without sentimentality, as no other biography of her has done.”
—Henry Louis Gates Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, Harvard
University, and author of The Trials of Phillis Wheatley: America’s First Black Poet
and Her Encounters with the Founding Fathers
“This is a satisfying study of the ‘elusive’ Wheatley, fleshed out with succinct,
discerning readings of the body of her work. . . . Especially noteworthy is the
book’s attentiveness to Wheatley’s involvement in the production and promotion
of her book, the contemporary responses to her work, and an unprecedented
account of her marriage to the debt-ridden John Peters, whose death forced her
into domestic service.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
With Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and
Moral (1773), Phillis Wheatley (1753–84) became
the first English-speaking person of African
descent to publish a book and only the second
woman—of any race or background—to do
so in America. Written in Boston while she was
just a teenager, and when she was still a slave,
Wheatley’s work was an international sensation.
In Phillis Wheatley, Vincent Carretta offers the
first full-length biography of a figure whose
origins and later life have remained shadowy
despite her iconic status.
A scholar with extensive knowledge of
transatlantic literature and history, Carretta
uncovers new details about Wheatley’s origins,
her upbringing, and how she gained freedom.
Carretta solves the mystery of John Peters,
correcting the record of when he and Wheatley
married and revealing what became of him after
her death. Assessing Wheatley’s entire body of
work, Carretta discusses the likely role she played
in the production, marketing, and distribution
of her writing. Wheatley developed a remarkable
transatlantic network that transcended racial,
class, political, religious, and geographical
boundaries. Carretta reconstructs that network
and sheds new light on her religious and
political identities. In the course of his research
he discovered the earliest poem attributable
to Wheatley and has included it and other
unpublished poems in the biography.
Carretta relocates Wheatley from the
margins to the center of her eighteenth-century
transatlantic world, revealing the fascinating
life of a woman who rose from the indignity of
enslavement to earn wide recognition, only to die
in obscurity a few years later.
vincent carretta is a professor of
English at the University of Maryland. He is
the author or editor of more than ten books,
including scholarly editions of the writings of
Olaudah Equiano, Phillis Wheatley, Ignatius
Sancho, and Ottobah Cugoano. His most recent
books are Equiano, the African: Biography of a
Self-Made Man, winner of the Annibel Jenkins
Prize, and The Life and Letters of Philip Quaque,

Fields Watered with Blood
Critical Essays on Margaret Walker
Edited by Maryemma Graham
A celebration of the life and work of a remarkable writer
“A book that not only broadens and complicates our understanding of education
during the American Enlightenment but also offers us a previously unpublished
diary of a fascinating figure from early nineteenth-century America.”
—Virginia Magazine of History and Biography
“Readers may find in this document a valuable prospect on the complicated
operations of female moral instruction.”—William and Mary Quarterly
Representing an international gathering of
scholars, Fields Watered with Blood—now
available in paperback—constituted the first
critical assessment of the full scope of Margaret
Walker’s literary career. As they discuss
Walker’s work, including the landmark poetry
collection For My People and the novel Jubilee,
the contributors reveal the complex interplay
of concerns and themes in Walker’s writing:
folklore and prophecy, place and space, history
and politics, gender and race. In addition, the
contributors remark on how Walker’s emphases
on spirituality and on dignity in her daily life
make themselves felt in her writings and show
how Walker’s accomplishments as a scholar,
teacher, activist, mother, and family
elder influenced what and how she wrote.
A brief biography, an interview with
literary critic Claudia Tate, a chronology of
major events in Walker’s life, and a selected
bibliography round out this collection, which
will do much to further our understanding
of the writer whom poet Nikki Giovanni once
called “the most famous person
nobody knows.”
maryemma graham is University
Distinguished Professor in the Department of
English at the University of Kansas as well as
the founder and director of the Project on the
History of Black Writing. Among her books are
three edited collections, On Being Female, Black

How I Wrote Jubilee and Other Essays on Life and

Serendib
Jim Toner
A powerful memoir about a father and son who
discover a new land and each other
“Peace Corps volunteer Jim Toner relates the story of his 74-year-old IrishCatholic father’s unexpected visit to Sri Lanka in Serendib. Conservative, retired
judge John Toner had never been outside America; his experiences during
his month on the beautiful but impoverished, civil war–torn island are wryly
observed through his son’s eyes. . . . This book is effective not only as a touching
memoir but as an illumination of a complex and fascinating culture.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Serendib is winning and moving. More than the epic paternal story, Jim Toner’s
book becomes a cross-cultural tale in which a son comes to understand his own
heritage against the backdrop of a strange land. It vividly portrays the mythic
journey we all must take and the cultural journey we all should take—a very fine
book.”—Steven Harvey, author of Bound for Shady Grove
“It is impossible to finish Serendib without feeling that meaningful relationships
are indeed possible (or recoverable) in the world.”—Peace Corps Writers
I didn’t invite him. The idea was all my father’s, my
seventy-four-year-old father who had never been
outside America and who suddenly thought that Sri
Lanka, where I was a Peace Corps volunteer, would
be a jolly place to visit.
When John Toner, a retired Cleveland judge,
decided on a whim in April 1990 to spend a
month with his son in war-torn Sri Lanka, he
was as much a stranger to his seventh—and
last—child as he was to the hardships of life
in a Third World country. Serendib chronicles
the journey that follows as a father and son
who had never been alone together live in
close quarters, in the poorest of conditions—
and replace awkwardness and distance with
understanding and love.
Along the way are the stories of John
learning to eat with his fingers, bathing in a
river alongside cows, and trading his wool
trousers for a traditional sarong. We witness
his coming face-to-face with a Hindu priest
in a loincloth and his first encounter with the
everyday violence of a country at war with itself.
John watches with awe as students learn without
computers, books, or even paper; he bonds with
Sri Lankan children and learns, once again, how
to give and how to play. Each new experience
pushes Toner’s father to face his fears—and
brings him closer to his youngest son.
Serendib offers a colorful, humorous, and
touching account of multiple discoveries—of
an old man exploring deep within himself,
of a father and son finding each other, and of
two cultures coming together on uncommon
ground and awakening to the joy and hope of
the life they share.
jim toner lives in Sonora, California, and
teaches English at Columbia College.

Big Bend
Stories by Bill Roorbach
Amid state parks and cities, from trucking to rockand-roll life, these stories reveal the twists and turns
of human relationships
“Immensely appealing . . . Roorbach’s tender, affecting stories will leave you feeling as if
you’ve come to understand your own missteps and misjudgments slightly better, and
to forgive yourself a little more.”—Newsday
“Roorbach is as raw and engaged a writer as you’ll ever read. He rivals James Baldwin in
his ability to miraculously open up rivers of male sentiment.”—Los Angeles Weekly
“Roorbach trains a pitch-perfect ear on characters in transition. . . . These vibrant stories
capture something still tender and hopeful about the culture that’s surprisingly affecting.”—Orlando Sentinel
“Thoughtful, thick with life, and shot through with small surprises.”—Columbus Dispatch
“[Roorbach] possesses a wonderful facility for capturing emotional realities in imaginative detail. . . . [He] knows his landscapes and he knows the psychic terrain of the aging
male.”—Maine Times
“Here comes Bill Roorbach with nine good reasons to find the couch or some big chair.
Reading these stories may be the reason we even have some of this furniture. Frankly,
I recommend you take them into your house and meet these new people in Big Bend.
They are as tender and troubled as we are, as charming, indecisive, nervous, blessed,
crazy, and destined to survive, find love, miss it. I’ve been waiting for these stories for a
while now.”—Ron Carlson
Through quirky plots, one-of-a-kind characters,
and more than a few twists, the stories in Big
Bend examine gentle-hearted men and their
relationships. From made-in-heaven meetings
to troublesome trysts, Bill Roorbach’s characters
experience romance in unexpected, sometimes
disastrous ways. His poignant tales of hauntingly
familiar situations are full of heart, romance, edgy
humor, and the frequently concealed vulnerability
of men.
bill roorbach is the author most recently
of the bestselling novel Life among Giants. His
next novel is The Remedy for Love. Earlier books
of fiction include The Smallest Color, a novel. His
nonfiction books include Into Woods, Temple
Stream, and Summers with Juliet. The tenth
anniversary edition of his craft book, Writing Life
Stories, is used in writing programs around the

A Story of Capitalism and Slavery in the Age of Jackson
Joshua D. Rothman
Winner of the Gulf South Historical Association’s
Michael V. R. Thomason Book Award
Winner of the Southern Historical Association’s
Frank L. and Harriet C. Owsley Award
Riveting history set against a backdrop of frenzied
economic speculation and racial violence
“By revisiting the Age of Jackson and the land rush following Indian removal, Joshua
D. Rothman follows the money to reveal the cultural history of modern American
capitalism. A master storyteller and researcher, Rothman digs up amazing (and often hilarious) tales of real strivers who made, missed, and lost fortunes. Flush Times
and Fever Dreams reminds us how thin the line has always been between investor
and gambler, success and failure.”—Scott A. Sandage, author of Born Losers: A History of Failure in America
“The true history of the Cotton Kingdom before the Civil War was no less bizarre
and bloody than anything [Django Unchained] has to offer. [The] excellent historian
Joshua Rothman’s Flush Times and Fever Dreams . . . reveal[s] that slave owners’
wild fantasies had deadly practical consequences.”—Adam Rothman, Daily Beast
In 1834 Virgil Stewart rode from western
Tennessee to a territory known as the “Arkansas
morass” in pursuit of John Murrell, a thief
accused of stealing two slaves. Stewart’s adventure
led to a sensational trial and a wildly popular
published account that would ultimately help
trigger widespread violence during the summer
of 1835, when five men accused of being
professional gamblers were hanged in Vicksburg,
nearly a score of others implicated with a gang
of supposed slave thieves were executed in
plantation districts, and even those who tried to
stop the bloodshed found themselves targeted as
dangerous and subversive. Using Stewart’s story as
his point of entry, Joshua D. Rothman details why
these events, which engulfed much of central and
western Mississippi, came to pass. He also explains
how the events revealed the fears, insecurities,
and anxieties underpinning the cotton boom that
made Mississippi the most seductive and exciting
frontier in the Age of Jackson.
As investors, settlers, slaves, brigands, and
fortune hunters converged in what was then
America’s Southwest, they created a tumultuous
landscape that promised boundless opportunity
and spectacular wealth. Predicated on ruthless
competition, unsustainable debt, brutal
exploitation, and speculative financial practices
that looked a lot like gambling, this landscape
also produced such profound disillusionment
and conflict that it contained the seeds of its
own potential destruction. Rothman sheds light
on the intertwining of slavery and capitalism
in the period leading up to the Panic of 1837,
highlighting the deeply American impulses
underpinning the evolution of the slave South
and the dizzying yet unstable frenzy wrought by
economic flush times. It is a story with lessons for
our own day.

new in paperback
Hog Meat and Hoecake
Food Supply in the Old South, 1840–1860
Sam Bowers Hilliard
Foreword by James C. Cobb
A timely reissue of a foundational text in
the study of southern foodways
“An interesting, well-written, and valuable reference.”—Agricultural History
“The author handles his evidence—drawn from travel diaries, plantation records, the agricultural and commercial press, and the census—with skill and imagination, and his interpretations are sound. . . . A pleasure to read.”—American Historical Review
“A significant addition to the literature on southern history. Hilliard says what he means in
clear, simple prose. . . . Fills an honest need and should stand for some time as one of the
most authoritative works on this particular subject.”—Journal of Southern History
“A significant treatment of the geography of diet and food supply in the antebellum South.
. . . A well-documented and uniquely conceived work. It deserves the attention of all scholars
concerned with the history and culture of the South.”—Geographical Review
When historical geographer Sam B. Hilliard’s
book Hog Meat and Hoecake was published
in 1972, it was ahead of its time. It was one
of the first scholarly examinations of the
important role food played in a region’s history,
culture, and politics, and it has since become a
landmark of foodways scholarship.
In the book Hilliard examines the food
supply, dietary habits, and agricultural choices
of the antebellum American South, including
Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee,
Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and South
Carolina. He explores the major southern food
sources at the time, the regional production
of commodity crops, and the role of those
products in the subsistence economy.
Far from being primarily a plantation
system concentrating on cash crops such as
cotton and tobacco, Hilliard demonstrates
that the South produced huge amounts of
foodstuffs for regional consumption. In fact,
the South produced so abundantly that, except
for wines and cordials, southern tables were
not only stocked with the essentials but amply
laden with veritable delicacies as well. (Though
contrary to popular opinion, neither grits nor
hominy ever came close to being universally
used in the South prior to the Civil War.)

Hilliard’s focus on food habits, culture, and
consumption was revolutionary—as was his
discovery that malnutrition was not a major
cause of the South’s defeat in the Civil War.
His book established the methods and
vocabulary for studying a region’s cuisine in
the context of its culture that foodways scholars
still employ today. This reissue is an excellent
and timely reminder of that.

Tinged with Gold
Hop Culture in the United States
Michael A. Tomlan
Now in paperback for the first time, a groundbreaking
study of the essential brewing ingredient
“A first-rate work of scholarship . . . Fills a major void in our understanding of an
important, but nearly forgotten, chapter in United States agricultural history.”
—Journal of the West
“A lucidly written, creditable piece of scholarship, Tinged with Gold is
complemented by photographs, superb architectural designs, maps, and
other illustrations, along with what appears to be for so obscure a subject a
comprehensive bibliography. Obviously a labor of love representing years of
painstaking research.”—New York History
“Gratitude is due to Tomlan . . . for providing a model study that should inspire
further inquiry into these ‘buildings behind the farmhouse.’”
—Journal of American History
“Hops may be a minor crop used to make beer, but as Tomlan demonstrates, they
can provide a major window into the history of American farming. . . . Tomlan’s
wonderfully illustrated, well-researched monograph provides a comprehensive
overview of three centuries of agricultural change.”—Choice
Today hop growing remains a viable commercial
enterprise chiefly in parts of the far western
United States—notably in Washington. But, as
James Fenimore Cooper remembered, the midnineteenth century in Cooperstown, New York,
was a time when “the ‘hop was king,’ and the
whole countryside was one great hop yard,
and beautiful.”
First published in 1992, Tinged with Gold
explores all aspects of hop culture in the
United States and provides a background for
understanding the buildings devoted to drying,
baling, and storing hops. The work considers
the history of these structures as it illustrates
their development over almost two centuries. In
examining the context in which the buildings
were constructed, Tomlan considers the growth,
cultivation, and harvesting of the plant; the
economic, social, and recreational activities
of the people involved in hop culture; and the
record of mechanical inventions and technical
developments that shaped hop kilns, hop houses,
and hop driers and coolers in the various areas
where the crop flourished. Tinged with Gold
brings hop culture to life as it explores the history
of this neglected aspect of rural agriculture.

Back in print—powerful portraits of
African American achievement
“How vividly the pictures [reflect] the vitality of the black culture of their
eras.”—Publishers Weekly
“A visual and chronological history of the movers and shapers of the Harlem
Renaissance . . . A true history, and none such other compilation exists.”
—Quarterly Black Review of Books
“Carl Van Vechten’s portrait style—formal, direct, and free of the extraneous—
anticipated the celebrity photography of Richard Avedon and Andy
Warhol.”—San Francisco Examiner
“Carl Van Vechten’s portraits of artists, athletes, academics, and activists he
respected . . . reflect his appreciation of the diverse contributions of African
Americans.”—Booklist
This portfolio of eighty-three photographs
constitutes a stunning celebration of African
American achievement in the twentieth century.
Carl Van Vechten, a longtime patron of black
writers and artists, took these photographs over
the course of three decades—primarily as gifts to
his subjects, such luminaries as W. E. B. Du Bois,
Langston Hughes, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday,
Joe Louis, James Baldwin, Richard Wright, Ruby
Dee, Lena Horne, and James Earl Jones.
The photographs Rudolph P. Byrd has
selected for this volume come from the James
Weldon Johnson Memorial Collection of Negro

Arts and Letters, which Van Vechten established
at Yale University. Byrd has arranged the images
chronologically, according to the time at which
each subject emerged as a vital presence in
African American tradition.
Complementing the photographs are a
substantial introduction by Byrd, biographical
sketches of each subject, and poems by the noted
writer Michael S. Harper. The result is a volume
of beauty and power, a record of black excellence
that will engage and inform new generations.

Great and Noble Jar
Traditional Stoneware of South Carolina
Cinda K. Baldwin
Documenting a rich tradition in southern pottery
“A well documented and beautifully illustrated authoritative examination of the
state’s stoneware and its unique cultural resources.”—South by Southeast
“Adds significantly to our understanding of more than southern pottery. The history of this southern art is a history of southern people.”—Southern Quarterly
“A comprehensive study of South Carolina stoneware . . . A handsome book.”
—Augusta Magazine
“An impressive story of potters and their pottery . . . A valuable major work for
both pottery studies and material culture studies.”—Choice
“Baldwin is comprehensive in her study of South Carolina pottery and traces
the spread of Edgefield’s influence outside the region into the rest of the
state and even into Georgia and North Carolina.”—Georgia Journal
“Baldwin has, like the potters of whom she writes, taken her raw material and
crafted a useful and admirable work that will be of service for many years to
come.”—Southern Cultures
Originally published in 1993, Great and Noble
Jar was the first authoritative study of South
Carolina stoneware—from its beginnings in
colonial times and its heyday in the 1850s
through the post–Civil War period and the first
half of the twentieth century. Folklorist Cinda
K. Baldwin examines not only many traditional
pottery forms but also the methods by which
they were thrown, glazed, decorated, and fired.
Among the topics on which Baldwin focuses
are the contributions of slaves and freed blacks
to the pottery industry, including the remarkable
work of the potter named Dave, who marked
his wares with brief verse inscriptions, including
this one found on a large food-storage container:
“Great & Noble Jar, / hold sheep, goat, and bear.”
The book is illustrated with nearly two
hundred photographs (including fifteen color
plates), maps, and drawings and includes an
index of South Carolina potters.

The return of a landmark book about

“A comprehensive account of heretofore overlooked structures. The book is
tightly organized, the buildings discussed individually with pertinent data
tabulated at the end of each sub-regional section.”—Journal of the Society

The middle Georgia area—including
Baldwin, Hancock, Jasper, Johnson, Putnam,
Washington, and Wilkinson Counties—is a vast
living museum of classic southern architecture.
First published in 1972, this sweeping survey
remains one of the best books on the topic,
covering primitive, Gothic, Greek Revival, and
Victorian styles, and beyond.
John Linley’s descriptions of the
diverse structures of the Oconee area are

architecture
Fine architecture, as Linley shows, is greatly
influenced by climate and geography, by
the natural resources of the region, and by
history, custom, and tradition. He considers
these major factors along with such individual
features as green spaces—gardens and
parks—and town and city plans, viewing
the architecture in relation to the whole
environment. The architecture is discussed in
chronological order by style and is related to
the surrounding country, with each of the seven
Oconee area counties presented historically and
in terms of its own resources. Touring maps of
the counties and the principal towns locate all
structures and points of interest mentioned in
the text.
john linley was a professor of landscape
architecture at the University of Georgia from

Thomas Nast
Political Cartoonist
John Chalmers Vinson
The much-anticipated reissue of a pioneering study of
the “Father of the American Cartoon”
“Thomas Nast was a pioneer of the editorial cartoon and one of the very best,
in terms both of precision and caricaturing line and revealing political idea.
Thomas Nast: Political Cartoonist is a superbly reproduced selection of Nast’s
work, and shows what an art editorial cartooning can be.”
—New York Times
“Political cartoonists in the United States can look to Thomas Nast as the father
of their art. His work was realistic, satiric, emotion-compelling and inventive
all at once. Dr. Vinson serves journalism, history, politics, and art well by this
excellent biography.”—Editor & Publisher
If it is true that the pen is mightier than the
sword and that one picture is worth a thousand
words, Thomas Nast must certainly rank as
one of the most influential personalities in
nineteenth-century American history. His
pen, dipped in satire, aroused an apathetic,
disinterested, and uninformed public to
indignation and action more than once.
The most notable Nast campaign, and
probably the one best recorded today, was
directed against New York City’s Tammany
Hall and its boss, William Marcy Tweed. Boss
Tweed and his ring so feared the power of Nast
and his drawings that they once offered him
a bribe of $500,000.
Six presidents of the United States received
and gratefully accepted Nast’s support during
their candidacies and administrations. Two
of these, Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses Grant,
credited Nast with more than mere support.
During the Civil War, Lincoln called Nast his
“best recruiting sergeant,” and after the war
Grant, then a general, wrote that Nast had done
as “much as any one man to preserve the Union
and bring the war to an end.” Throughout
his career the cartoonist remained an ardent
champion of Grant who, after his election in
1868, attributed his victory to “the sword of
Sheridan and the pencil of Thomas Nast.”
Nast’s work is still familiar today. It was
Nast who popularized the modern concepts of
Santa Claus and Uncle Sam and who created
such symbols as the Democratic donkey, the
Republican elephant, and the Tammany tiger.
With more than 150 examples of Nast’s
work, Thomas Nast: Political Cartoonist by John
Chalmers Vinson recreates the life and pattern
of artistic development of the man who made
the political cartoon a respected and powerful
journalistic form.
john chalmers vinson first became
interested in Thomas Nast while teaching
history and completing work on a masters of
fine arts at the University of Georgia. An expert
in the field of American diplomatic history,
his other books include Referendum for
Isolation: Defeat of Article Ten of the League
of Nations Covenant.

Chattahoochee River User’s Guide
Joe Cook
The definitive guide to paddling, camping, and
fishing on Georgia’s longest river
The guide includes
• 200 color photographs
• 32 user-friendly maps that reveal the towns, roads, entry points,
bridges, public lands, parks, and other landmarks along the
river’s course from the southern Blue Ridge Mountains to the
Georgia-Florida border
• Detailed practical information about public access points,
potential hazards, camping facilities, and GPS coordinates for
points of interest
• A primer on fishing
• An introduction and safety overview, as well as a concise natural
history guide to common flora and fauna of the river corridor
The Chattahoochee River is one of the premier
waterways of Georgia and the Southeast. It
is a mecca for summer recreation, a priceless
natural resource that provides water and
power for a great number of Georgia’s citizens,
and an essential component to the region’s
ecosystem. As public interest in both exploring
and protecting Georgia’s rivers such as the
Chattahoochee grows, so too has the demand
for clear and elegant guides to our rivers.
The Chattahoochee River User’s Guide—the
latest in a series of river guides from Georgia
River Network and the University of Georgia
Press—aims to meet that demand.
The Chattahoochee River User’s Guide
traces the 430-mile course of the Hooch from
its headwaters at a spring on Coon Den Ridge
near Jacks Knob in northeastern Georgia to
its confluence with the Flint River, where they
form the Apalachicola River.
The Georgia River Network guides provide
many little-known facts about Georgia’s rivers,
bring to life these rivers’ cultural and natural
history, and present river issues in an immersive
and engaging manner that will inspire users to
help protect their local waterways.

Southern Women: Their Lives and Times
Georgia Women
Their Lives and Times—Volume 2
Edited by Ann Short Chirhart and Kathleen Clark
The second of two volumes that together explore the
diverse and changing patterns of Georgia women’s lives
“An amazing group of women shines forth in this collection of essays. They
represent the best of Georgia in the twentieth century, from the farm to the city;
in the classrooms, the arts, and the halls of law; and on the streets, fighting for
social justice. Georgia women have brought significant vitality and change to
their home state, and their stories come together brilliantly in this volume.”
—Rebecca Sharpless, author of Cooking in Other Women’s Kitchens: Domestic
Workers in the South, 1865–1960
“A comprehensive and interesting collection of essays that reveals both the
depth and the breadth of the contributions women have made to the state’s
modern history. The volume highlights the many ways race, class, family
structure, historical and economic forces, and creativity shaped the lives of
these interesting women.”—Susan Youngblood Ashmore, author of Carry It On:
The War on Poverty and the Civil Rights Movement in Alabama, 1964–1972
Women were leading actors in twentieth-century
developments in Georgia, yet most histories
minimize their contributions. The essays in the
second volume of Georgia Women, edited by
Ann Short Chirhart and Kathleen Clark, vividly
portray a wide array of Georgia women who
played an important role in the state’s history,
from little-known Progressive Era activists to
famous present-day figures such as Pulitzer
Prize–winning author Alice Walker and former
First Lady Rosalynn Carter.
Georgia women were instrumental to
state and national politics even before they
achieved suffrage, and as essays on Lillian
Smith, Frances Pauley, Coretta Scott King, and
others demonstrate, they played a key role in
twentieth-century struggles over civil rights,
gender equality, and the proper size and reach
of government. Georgia women’s contributions
have been wide ranging in the arena of arts and
culture and include the works of renowned blues
singer Gertrude “Ma” Rainey and such nationally
prominent literary figures as Margaret Mitchell,
Carson McCullers, and Flannery O’Connor, as
well as Walker.
While many of the volume’s essays take
a fresh look at relatively well-known figures,
readers will also have the opportunity to discover
women who were vital to Georgia’s history yet
remain relatively obscure today, such as Atlanta
educator and activist Lugenia Burns Hope,
World War II aviator Hazel Raines, entrepreneur
and carpet manufacturer Catherine Evans
Whitener, and rural activist and author Vara A.
Majette. Collectively, the life stories portrayed
in this volume deepen our understanding of the
multifaceted history of not only Georgia women
but also the state itself.

America’s Corporal
James Tanner in War and Peace
James Marten
The first biography of one of the Civil War’s most famous disabled
veterans and most prominent public figures in the Gilded Age
“America’s Corporal tells the fascinating story of a common soldier who led an
uncommon life. James Tanner fought in the Union army as a teenager, lost his
legs in combat at Second Bull Run, then pursued a career in politics and veterans’
affairs through the Gilded Age and beyond. James Marten does a remarkable job
of recovering the details of Tanner’s life and evoking the world of late nineteenthcentury America. Readers will find equal pleasure and profit in reading this
compelling narrative.”—Gary W. Gallagher, author of The Union War and The
Confederate War
“America’s Corporal is a fascinating look at one of the Union army’s most
remarkable veterans. Following Tanner from his enlistment as an enthusiastic
seventeen-year-old, through his debilitating double-amputation, and on to his
rise as a prominent figure in veterans’ affairs, James Marten chronicles a story at
once extraordinary and exceedingly representative of the Civil War generation.
Situating Tanner within the worlds of wartime medicine, veteran culture, urban
life, and Gilded Age politics, Marten once again offers a beautifully written and
compelling portrait of late nineteenth-century America.”—Caroline E. Janney,
author of Remembering the Civil War: Reunion and the Limits of Reconciliation
James Tanner may be the most famous person in
nineteenth-century America that no one has heard
of. During his service in the Union army, he lost
the lower third of both his legs and afterward had
to reinvent himself. After a brush with fame as the
stenographer taking down testimony a few feet
away from the dying President Abraham Lincoln
in April 1865, Tanner eventually became one of
the best-known men in Gilded Age America.
He was a highly placed Republican operative, a
popular Grand Army of the Republic speaker, an
entrepreneur, and a celebrity. He earned fame and
at least temporary fortune as “Corporal Tanner,”
but most Americans would simply have known
him as “The Corporal.” Yet virtually no one—not
even historians of the Civil War and Gilded Age—
knows him today.
America’s Corporal rectifies this startling
gap in our understanding of the decades that
followed the Civil War. Drawing on a variety of
primary sources including memoirs, lectures,
newspapers, pension files, veterans’ organization
records, poetry, and political cartoons, James
Marten brings Tanner’s life and character into
focus and shows what it meant to be a veteran—
especially a disabled veteran—in an era that at
first worshipped the saviors of the Union but
then found ambiguity in their political power
and insistence on collecting ever-larger pensions.
This biography serves as an examination of the
dynamics of disability, the culture and politics of
the Gilded Age, and the aftereffects of the Civil
War, including the philosophical and psychological
changes that it prompted. The book explores the
sometimes corrupt, often gridlocked, but always
entertaining politics of the era, from Tanner’s days
as tax collector in Brooklyn through his short-lived
appointment as commissioner of pensions (one
of the biggest jobs in the federal government of
the 1880s). Marten provides a vivid case study
of a classic Gilded Age entrepreneur who could
never make enough money. America’s Corporal is a
reflection on the creation of celebrity—and of its
ultimate failure to preserve the memory of a man
who represented so many of the experiences and
assumptions of the Gilded Age.
james marten is chair of the Department
of History at Marquette University. He is the
author of Sing Not War: The Lives of Union and
Confederate Veterans in Gilded Age America, Civil
War America: Voices from the Home Front, and
The Children’s Civil War.

Black Woman Reformer
Ida B. Wells, Lynching, and Transatlantic Activism
Sarah L. Silkey
How Ida B. Wells turned popular opinion in Britain
against lynching in the United States
“This excellent account of British interpretations of America’s violent racial history
challenges our assumptions about the international antilynching campaign. The
author makes a compelling case for Ida B. Wells not simply as a beneficiary of
British support but as a force in driving the transatlantic debate.”
—Beverly Greene Bond, coeditor of Tennessee Women: Their Lives and Times
“Black Woman Reformer: Ida B. Wells, Lynching, and Transatlantic Activism is a
dynamic and insightful volume that breathes new life into the story of a famous
and important figure by placing Wells’s antilynching campaign within a larger
transatlantic reform movement. Silkey’s study makes a major contribution to
African American history, the history of mob violence, and the history of Gilded
Age reform movements.”—William D. Carrigan, author of The Making of a Lynching
Culture: Violence and Vigilantism in Central Texas, 1836–1916
During the early 1890s, a series of shocking
lynchings brought unprecedented international
attention to American mob violence. This interest
created an opportunity for Ida B. Wells, an African
American journalist and civil rights activist
from Memphis, to travel to England to cultivate
British moral indignation against American
lynching. Wells adapted race and gender roles
established by African American abolitionists
in Britain to legitimate her activism as a “black
lady reformer”—a role American society denied
her—and assert her right to defend her race from
abroad. Based on extensive archival research
conducted in the United States and Britain,
Black Woman Reformer by Sarah Silkey explores
Wells’s 1893–94 antilynching campaigns within
the broader contexts of nineteenth-century
transatlantic reform networks and debates about
the role of extralegal violence in American society.
Through her speaking engagements, newspaper
interviews, and the efforts of her British allies,
Wells altered the framework of public debates on
lynching in both Britain and the United States.
No longer content to view lynching as a benign
form of frontier justice, Britons accepted Wells’s
assertion that lynching was a racially motivated act
of brutality designed to enforce white supremacy.
As British criticism of lynching mounted, southern
political leaders desperate to maintain positive
relations with potential foreign investors were
forced to choose whether to publicly defend or
decry lynching. Although British moral pressure
and media attention did not end lynching,
the international scrutiny generated by Wells’s
campaigns transformed our understanding of
racial violence and made American communities
increasingly reluctant to embrace lynching.

Geographies of Justice and Social Tranformation 20
Nationalism, Populism, Hegemony
Gillian Hart
An insightful study of the ongoing social, political, and
economic struggles in post-apartheid South Africa
“Gillian Hart offers a defining challenge to our understanding of the
contemporary crisis in South Africa. This book raises the bar in scholarly
and political debate, and is a long-awaited sequel to Disabling Globalization.”
—Ari Sitas, professor of sociology at the University of Cape Town, author
of The Mandela Decade 1990–2000: Labour, Culture and Society in PostApartheid South Africa
“A book of this calibre recasts how we think about what has been happening
in South Africa. Hart has conjured an exceptional work that might just help
the left begin figuring out how to stop spinning its wheels.”
—Hein Marais, author of South Africa Pushed to the Limit: The Political
Economy of Change
Since the end of apartheid, South Africa
has become an extreme yet unexceptional
embodiment of forces at play in many other
regions of the world: intensifying inequality
alongside “wageless life,” proliferating forms
of protest and populist politics that move
in different directions, and official efforts at
containment ranging from liberal interventions
targeting specific populations to increasingly
common police brutality.
Rethinking the South African Crisis revisits
long-standing debates to shed new light on
the transition from apartheid. Drawing on
nearly twenty years of ethnographic research,
Hart argues that local government has
become the key site of contradictions. Local
practices, conflicts, and struggles in the arenas
of everyday life feed into and are shaped by
simultaneous processes of de-nationalization
and re-nationalization. Together they are key to
understanding the erosion of African National
Congress hegemony and the proliferation of
populist politics.
This book provides an innovative analysis
of the ongoing, unstable, and unresolved
crisis in South Africa today. It also suggests
how Antonio Gramsci’s concept of passive
revolution, adapted and translated for present
circumstances with the help of Martiniqueborn French psychiatrist and philosopher
Frantz Fanon, can do useful analytical and
political work in South Africa and beyond.

Toward a Female Genealogy
of Transcendentalism
Edited by Jana L. Argersinger and Phyllis Cole
The first large-scale, collaborative study of
women’s voices and their vital role in the American
transcendentalist movement
“An astonishing record of scholarship that examines transcendentalism from the
perspective of women writers. The seventeen essays in this collection (and the
‘interludes’ of primary texts interwoven throughout the volume) are proof that women
contributed directly and positively to the movement of transcendentalism. No one who
reads these outstanding essays and engaging primary materials will doubt that fact.”
—Susan Belasco, editor of Stowe in Her Own Time: A Biographical Chronicle of Her Life,
Drawn from Recollections, Interviews, and Memoirs by Family, Friends, and Associates
“Gathering scores of interpretive essays on transcendentalist women and their
sympathetic fellow travelers and interspersing revelatory primary materials among this
scholarship, Argersinger and Cole deliver a book that delights and instructs at every
turn and on many levels. This is a signal achievement and will redirect the study of
both transcendentalism and American romanticism generally.”—Philip F. Gura, author of
American Transcendentalism: A History
Traditional histories of the American
transcendentalist movement begin in Ralph
Waldo Emerson’s terms: describing a rejection
of college books and church pulpits in favor of
the individual power of “Man Thinking.” This
essay collection asks how women who lacked
the privileges of both college and clergy rose to
thought. For them, reading alone and conversing
together were the primary means of growth,
necessarily in private and informal spaces both
overlapping with those of the men and apart
from them. But these were means to achieving
literary, aesthetic, and political authority—
indeed, to claiming utopian possibility for
women as a whole.
Toward a Female Genealogy of
Transcendentalism is a project of both
archaeology and reinterpretation. Many of its
seventeen distinguished and rising scholars work
from newly recovered archives, and all offer fresh
readings of understudied topics and texts. First
quickened by the 2010 bicentennial of Margaret
Fuller’s birth, the project reaches beyond Fuller
to her female predecessors, contemporaries,
and successors throughout the nineteenth
century who contributed to or grew from the
transcendentalist movement. Geographic scope
also widens—from the New England base to
national and transatlantic spheres. A shared goal
is to understand this “genealogy” within a larger
history of American women writers; no absolute
boundaries divide idealism from sentiment,
romantics from realists, or white discourse from
black. Primary-text interludes invite readers into
the ongoing task of discovering and interpreting
transcendentally affiliated women. This collection
recognizes the vibrant contributions women
made to a major literary movement and will
appeal to both scholars and general readers.

America’s Darwin
Darwinian Theory and U.S. Literary Culture
Edited by Tina Gianquitto and Lydia Fisher
Interdisciplinary essays on the distinctive qualities of
America’s textual engagement with Darwinian
evolutionary theory
“An important advance on the current state of Darwin criticism in American
literary and cultural studies and, even more, a model for urgently needed
work in such biocultural studies as animality and ecological thinking.”
—Laura Dassow Walls, author of The Passage to Cosmos: Alexander von
Humboldt and the Shaping of America
While much has been written about the impact of
Darwin’s theories on U.S. culture, and countless
scholarly collections have been devoted to the
science of evolution, few have addressed the specific
details of Darwin’s theories as a cultural force
affecting U.S. writers. America’s Darwin fills this
gap and features a range of critical approaches that
examine U.S. textual responses to Darwin’s works.
The scholars in this collection represent a
range of disciplines—literature, history of science,
women’s studies, geology, biology, entomology, and
anthropology. All pay close attention to the specific
forms that Darwinian evolution took in the United
States, engaging not only with Darwin’s most
famous works, such as On the Origin of Species, but
also with less familiar works, such as The Expression
of the Emotions in Man and Animals.
Each contributor considers distinctive social,
cultural, and intellectual conditions that affected
the reception and dissemination of evolutionary
thought, from before the publication of On the
Origin of Species to the early years of the twenty-first
century. These essays engage with the specific details
and language of a wide selection of Darwin’s texts,
treating his writings as primary sources essential to
comprehending the impact of Darwinian language
on American writers and thinkers. This careful
engagement with the texts of evolution enables us to
see the broad points of its acceptance and adoption
in the American scene; this approach also highlights
the ways in which writers, reformers, and others
reconfigured Darwinian language to suit their
individual purposes.
America’s Darwin demonstrates the many
ways in which writers and others fit themselves
to a narrative of evolution whose dominant
motifs are contingency and uncertainty.
Collectively, the authors make the compelling
case that the interpretation of evolutionary
theory in the U.S. has always shifted in relation
to prevailing cultural anxieties.

Urban Politics and Grassroots Activists in Houston
Wesley G. Phelps
A ground-level study of the War on Poverty
in a major American city
“Wesley Phelps reveals a largely unacknowledged Houston. He tells a story
of poverty and power through a series of moments when a diverse group of
local people told a generation how things had to be different. Battling over
ideas from prophetic Christianity, the radical New Left, the emerging Sunbelt,
the Old South, and the controversial War on Poverty, they launched a fierce
argument about the kind of power that working Americans should have and
the kind of Houston that would emerge from the end of Jim Crow.”
—Kent B. Germany, author of New Orleans after the Promises: Poverty,
Citizenship, and the Search for the Great Society
In A People’s War on Poverty, Wesley G. Phelps
investigates the on-the-ground implementation
of President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty
during the 1960s and 1970s. He argues that
the fluid interaction between federal policies,
urban politics, and grassroots activists created
a significant site of conflict over the meaning
of American democracy and the rights
of citizenship that historians have largely
overlooked. In Houston in particular, the War
on Poverty spawned fierce political battles that
revealed fundamental disagreements over what
democracy meant, how far it should extend,
and who should benefit from it. Many of the
program’s implementers took seriously the
federal mandate to empower the poor as they
pushed for a more participatory form
of democracy that would include more citizens
in the political, cultural, and economic life
of the city.
At the center of this book are the vitally
important but virtually forgotten grassroots
activists who administered federal War on
Poverty programs, including church ministers,
federal program volunteers, students, local
administrators, civil rights activists, and the
poor themselves. The moderate Great Society
liberalism that motivated the architects of the
federal programs certainly galvanized local
antipoverty activists in Houston. However,
their antipoverty philosophy was driven further
by prophetic religious traditions and visions
of participatory democracy and community
organizing championed by the New Left
and iconoclastic figures like Saul Alinsky. By
focusing on these local actors, Phelps shows that
grassroots activists in Houston were influenced
by a much more diverse set of intellectual and
political traditions, fueling their efforts to expand
the meaning of democracy. Ultimately, this
episode in Houston’s history reveals both the
possibilities and the limits of urban democracy in
the twentieth century.

history at Sam Houston State University.

Everybody Else
Adoption and the Politics of Domestic Diversity in Postwar America
Sarah Potter
How the family became a key site of social inequality for
the working class, African Americans, and those without
children in 1950s America
“Broadly conceived, imaginatively researched, and eminently readable,
Everybody Else provides a new narrative about ‘family values’ that highlights
the aspirations of ordinary men and women, black and white, middle and
working class, who found in children a motivating force for civic engagement,
self-fulfillment, and racial justice. In providing a deep social history of the
subjective embrace of children by couples without any or enough, Sarah Potter
underscores how domesticity is never merely private but imbricated in larger
social and cultural structures.”—Eileen Boris, coauthor of Caring for America:
Home Health Workers in the Shadow of the Welfare State
In the popular imagination, the twenty years
after World War II are associated with simpler,
happier, more family-focused living. We think
of stereotypical baby boom families like the
Cleavers—white, suburban, and well on their
way to middle-class affluence. For these couples
and their children, a happy, stable family life
provided an antidote to the anxieties and
uncertainties of the emerging nuclear age.
But not everyone looked or lived like
the Cleavers. For those who could not have
children, or have as many children as they
wanted, the postwar baby boom proved
a source of social stigma and personal
pain. Further, in 1950 roughly one in three
Americans made below middle-class incomes,
and over fifteen million lived under Jim Crow
segregation. For these individuals, home life
was not an oasis but a challenge, intimately
connected to the era’s many political and social
upheavals.
Everybody Else provides a comparative
analysis of diverse postwar families and
examines the lives and case records of men
and women who applied to adopt or provide
pre-adoptive foster care in the 1940s and 1950s.
It considers an array of individuals—both black
and white, middle and working class—who
found themselves on the margins of a social
world that privileged family membership.
These couples wanted adoptive and foster
children in order to achieve a sense of personal
mission and meaning, as well as a deeper
feeling of belonging to their communities. But
their quest for parenthood also highlighted the
many inequities of that era. These individuals’
experiences seeking children reveal that the
baby boom family was about much more than
“togetherness” or a quiet house in the suburbs;
it also shaped people’s ideas about the promises
and perils of getting ahead in postwar America.

Georgia’s Constitution and Government,
9th Edition
Richard N. Engstrom, Robert M. Howard,
and Arnold Fleischmann
Newly updated—the best resource for satisfying the
University System of Georgia’s “political science requirement”
By state law, graduates of public colleges and universities in Georgia must
demonstrate proficiency with both the U.S. and Georgia constitutions. This
widely used textbook helps students to satisfy that requirement, either in

in establishing authority, distributing power, and formalizing procedures
• how the various state constitutions differ from each other, even as they all
complement the U.S. Constitution
• how constitutions in Georgia have been amended or replaced
• Georgia’s governmental institutions at the state, county, and city levels
• elections in Georgia, including the basic ground rules for holding primaries,
general elections, and runoffs
Key terms and concepts are covered throughout the book, as well as important
court cases at the national and state level. In addition, helpful lists, diagrams,
and tables summarize and compare such information as

Thomasville
Unique History, Elegant Homes, and Southern Hospitality
William R. Mitchell Jr.
Photography by James R. Lockhart and Van Jones Martin
Foreword by Gil Schafer
A landmark book in the effort to document, restore, and preserve
the historic and historical environments of a unique southern town
Thomas County and its county seat of
Thomasville share a history that is surprising
and unique and punctuated with ironies large
and small. Deep in rural southwest Georgia
and only fifty miles from the Gulf of Mexico,
Thomasville seems almost typical—an
attractive southern town with a dignified,
well-designed courthouse. Trains pull slowly
past the pleasant, brick-paved streets of a
nineteenth-century downtown, and tree-shaded
neighborhoods gradually give way to a rolling,
red-hill countryside of pine forests broken
here and there by well-tended fields of cotton,
peanuts, and soybeans.
Look a bit closer, however, and one will
discover a truly remarkable place—a stunning
visual landscape, both natural and man-made,
historically populated by a cast of clever
and industrious local citizens symbiotically
collaborating with wealthy and influential
northerners who came south for a visit and
stayed for generations.

architecture
Thomasville and Thomas County have
flourished by successfully adapting to whatever
challenges lay before them. Through the efforts
of the Thomas County Historical Society and
Thomasville Landmarks, Thomasville has
become recognized as a leader in state and
national preservation efforts. Successes are
evidenced not only by signature standards
such as the architecturally significant
Lapham-Patterson House but also by increasing
affordable and attractive housing in lowerprofile neighborhood renovations.
Thomasville: Unique History, Elegant Homes,
and Southern Hospitality is a testament to the
collective hard work and determination of a
great southern city’s will to survive and flourish
for generations.

From Surface to Meaning
Analyzing via Color
Edited by Sungshin Kim
I’ve Been So Many People
A Study of Lee Smith’s Fiction
Tanya Bennett
Looking at color can be a way
not only to think within or about
culture but also to probe the
boundaries of cultural approaches.
The “Cultural Turn,” as it has been
called, has made an impact across
disciplines. In history, it replaced
long-established explanatory
models provided by Marxism
and modernization theory.
Even fields like art history and
literature, which always considered
themselves allied to the arts
rather than to the sciences, were
reshaped by new understandings
of culture—for instance, as a much
larger system of meaning in which
the works they studied were a part.
But “culture” is notoriously murky,
and its analytical use can obfuscate
patterns of causality. This volume
analyzes how looking at color can
take us further.
A comprehensive analysis of all
Lee Smith’s fiction, including her
short stories, this study argues
that Smith’s fiction examines the
psychological challenges of living
in a society that is, on some level,
“rootless.” Using post-structuralist
theory and narratology, Bennett
elucidates Smith’s unique narrative
explorations of identity. She argues
that Smith has made an important
contribution to southern literature,
in her consistent focus on the
southerner’s post–Civil War selfconflict, and to contemporary
literature in general.
