Johns Hopkins University Press New Books for Spring

SPRING SUMMER 2021

Nearly a year into living in a world transformed by COVID-19, I am more convinced than ever that publishing trusted, peer-reviewed content is vital to the health and safety of our people and our democracy. I am particularly grateful to our authors who have spoken eloquently in defense of science and evidence, and who worked quickly on books to enhance fact-based decision-making. Notable recent examples include COVID-19 and World Order: The Future of Conflict, Competition, and Cooperation, edited by Hal Brands and Francis J. Gavin; Digital Contact Tracing for Pandemic Response: Ethics and Governance Guidance, edited by Jeffrey P. Kahn; and The Low-Density University: 15 Scenarios for Higher Education, by Edward J. Maloney and Joshua Kim. These fast-tracked books are proving to be immediately helpful and assuring, and we are proud that all three were available as read-for-free e-books on Project MUSE. (See more about these titles on page 96). This catalog offers equally timely books that will contribute significantly to conversations in 2021. A standout is Preventing the Next Pandemic: Vaccine Diplomacy in a Time of Anti-science (page 14), by the indispensable Peter Hotez. He has been a constant voice of reason on cable news, and his new book warns of disease threats amplified by war, poverty, urbanization, climate change, and science skepticism. We are also thrilled to launch Johns Hopkins Wavelengths, our new series of books by JHU’s Bloomberg Distinguished Professors. Can Fixing Dinner Fix the Planet? (page 12) is Jessica Fanzo’s urgent call to save our planet’s ability to sustain itself and its inhabitants. Why Are Health Disparities Everyone’s Problem? (page 13) is Lisa Cooper’s inspiring road map to eliminating the injustices that plague our health care system. These and all the books in this catalog give me hope. In the months ahead, I wish you continued health and safety—and a life enriched by books, ideas, and facts.

Sincerely,

JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS

THE BLACK BUTTERFLY The Harmful Politics of Race and Space in America LAWRENCE T. BROWN The world gasped in April 2015 as Baltimore erupted and Black Lives Matter activists, incensed by Freddie Gray’s brutal death in police custody, shut down highways and marched on city streets. In The Black Butterfly—a reference to the fact that Baltimore’s majority-Black population spreads out on both sides of the coveted strip of real estate running down the center of the city like a butterfly’s wings—Lawrence T. Brown reveals that ongoing historical trauma caused by a combination of policies, practices, systems, and budgets is at the root of uprisings and crises in hypersegregated cities around the country. Putting Baltimore under a microscope, Brown looks closely at the causes of segregation, many of which exist in current legislation and regulatory policy despite the common belief that overtly racist policies are a thing of the past. Drawing on social science research, policy analysis, and archival materials, Brown reveals the long history of racial segregation’s impact on health, from toxic pollution to police brutality. Beginning with an analysis of the current political moment, Brown delves into how Baltimore’s history influenced actions in sister cities like St. Louis and Cleveland, as well as its adoption of increasingly oppressive techniques from cities like Chicago.

VIRAL BS Medical Myths and Why We Fall for Them DR. SEEMA YASMIN Can your zip code predict when you will die? Should you space out childhood vaccines? Does talcum powder cause cancer? Health information—and misinformation—is all around us, and it can be hard to separate the two. A long history of unethical medical experiments and medical mistakes, along with a host of celebrities spewing anti-science beliefs, has left many wary of science and the scientists who say they should be trusted. How do we stay sane while unraveling the knots of fact and fiction to find out what we should really be concerned about, and what we can laugh off? In Viral BS, journalist, doctor, professor, and CDC-trained disease detective Seema Yasmin, driven by a need to set the record straight, dissects some of the most widely circulating medical myths and pseudoscience. Exploring how epidemics of misinformation can spread faster than microbes, Dr. Yasmin asks why bad science is sometimes more believable and contagious than the facts. Each easy-to-read chapter          covers a specific myth, whether it has endured for     many years or hit the headlines more recently.

GOOD BUSINESS The Talk, Fight, Win Way to Change the World BILL NOVELLI

foreword by Jim Clifton, Chairman and CEO, Gallup foreword by Jo Ann Jenkins, CEO, AARP From his humble beginnings selling soap in a sales training program to his rapid rise in the fast-paced New York advertising scene, Bill Novelli was well on his way to becoming a leader in the hypercompetitive business world. But it wasn’t long before he became disillusioned with the drive for profits above all. He knew that his marketing skills made those companies successful, but what good did that success do for the world? That question sent him on a career path that involved taking the marketing and communication tactics long used by big businesses and applying them to social change. He found that this strategy was not only good for the world but also good for business.

In Good Business, Novelli begins with his early career success in Mad Men– era marketing, which left him feeling unfulfilled. He describes the process of changing his career trajectory: how he helped reposition the Peace Corps; built Porter Novelli, a global PR agency for social impact; fought the Tobacco Wars; and became CEO of AARP, the largest nonprofit in America. Drawing practical lessons and principles from play-by-play stories of his experiences in large and small organizations, Novelli deploys his characteristic wit to stress the importance of building and maintaining connections with people— and engaging them in the cause.

An inspiring and practical look inside the mind of Bill Novelli, one of the founders of social marketing, Good Business challenges all of us to change the world for the better and is a blueprint for tackling today’s critical issues. TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword, by Jim Clifton Foreword, by Jo Ann Jenkins Introduction

Morial, President/CEO, National Urban League “A fountainhead of insight about ways to transform our world, penned by a person who—from CARE and AARP to the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and beyond— has done just that.”—Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Director, Annenberg Public Policy Center, University of Pennsylvania

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

MOVING WATER The Everglades and Big Sugar

A riveting story of environmental disaster and political intrigue, Moving Water exposes how Florida’s clean water is threatened by dirty power players and the sugar cane industry.

AMY GREEN In Moving Water, environmental journalist Amy Green explains the establishment and progress of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP), a $17 billion taxpayer-funded initiative aimed at reclaiming this vital ecosystem. Green also details the efforts of sugar-growing interests, or “Big Sugar,” to halt or slow cleanup of the fertilizer runoff wreaking havoc with restoration. At the center of this story are unlikely heroes George and Mary Barley: wealthy real estate developers and champions of the Everglades, whose complicated legacy spans from fisheries in Florida Bay to the political worlds of Tallahassee and Washington. This engrossing exposé tackles some of the most important issues of our time: Is it possible to save a complex ecosystem such as the Everglades—or, once degraded, are such ecological wonders gone forever? What kind of commitments—economic, scientific, and social—will it take to rescue our vulnerable natural resources? What influences do special interests wield in our everyday lives, and what does it take to push real reform through our democracy? Appealing to anyone fascinated by stories of environmental crusaders like Erin Brockovich, as well as readers of political intrigue and anyone who cares about the future of Florida, this book reveals why the Everglades serve as a model for environmental restoration efforts worldwide.

“This isn’t just a story about endangered wetlands in southern Florida; it’s a story of politics and corruption, of the inherent conflict between global commerce and environmental preservation. With deep reporting and evocative writing, Green’s debut book is urgent and significant.”—Trevor Aaronson, author of The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI’s Manufactured War on Terrorism AMY GREEN (ORLANDO, FL) is an award-winning radio and print journalist covering the environment at

CAN FIXING DINNER FIX THE PLANET? JESSICA FANZO In Can Fixing Dinner Fix the Planet? Jessica Fanzo explores the interactions among food systems, diets, human health, and the climate crisis. Drawing upon her decades of handson research projects in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, Fanzo describes how food systems must evolve to promote healthy, sustainable, and equitable diets. By sharing new ideas and successful examples of programs and policies, she offers hope that there are ways forward and describes the individual and systemic changes that we all must make to slow and ultimately reverse catastrophic trends.

WHY ARE HEALTH DISPARITIES EVERYONE’S PROBLEM?

How can we all work together to eliminate the avoidable injustices that plague our health care system and society?

LISA COOPER, MD, MPH In Why Are Health Disparities Everyone’s Problem? Dr. Lisa Cooper shows how we can work together to eliminate injustices that plague our health care system and society. The book follows Cooper’s journey from her childhood in Liberia, West Africa, to her thirty-year career working first as a clinician and then as a health equity researcher at Johns Hopkins University. Drawing on her experiences, it explores how differences in communication and the quality of relationships affect health outcomes. Through her work as the founder and director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Equity, Cooper has identified the actions and policies needed to reduce and eliminate the conditions that are harming us all. Cooper reveals with compelling detail how health disparities are driving up health care costs, and leading to adverse health outcomes and ultimately an enormous burden of human suffering. Why Are Health Disparities Everyone’s Problem? demonstrates the ways in which everyone’s health is interconnected, both within communities and across the globe. Cooper calls for a new kind of herd immunity, when a sufficiently high proportion of people, across race and social class, become immune to harmful social conditions through “vaccination” with solidarity among groups and opportunities created by institutional and societal practices and policies. By acknowledging and acting upon that interconnectedness, everyone can help to create a healthier world.

PREVENTING THE NEXT PANDEMIC Vaccine Diplomacy in a Time of Anti-science PETER J. HOTEZ, MD, PhD Modern diseases and viruses have been spurred anew by war and conflict as well as shifting poverty, urbanization, climate change, and a new troubling anti-science/anti-vaccination outlook. From such twenty-first-century forces, we have seen declines in previous global health gains, with sharp increases in vaccine-preventable and neglected diseases on the Arabian Peninsula, in Venezuela, in parts of Africa, and even on the Gulf Coast of the United States. In Preventing the Next Pandemic, international vaccine scientist and tropical disease and coronavirus expert Peter J. Hotez, MD, PhD, argues that we can—and must—rely on vaccine diplomacy to address this new world order in disease and global health. Detailing his years in the lab developing new vaccines, Hotez also recounts his travels around the world to shape vaccine partnerships with people in both rich and poor countries in an attempt to head off major health problems. Building on the legacy of Dr. Albert Sabin, who developed the oral polio vaccine with Soviet scientists at the height of the Cold War, he explains how he is still working to refresh and redirect vaccine diplomacy toward neglected and newly emerging diseases.

Touching on a range of disease, from leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis, and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) to COVID-19, Preventing the Next Pandemic has always been a timely goal, but it will be even more important in a COVID and post-COVID world.

In a post–COVID-19 world, how do we prevent future illnesses by expanding scientific and vaccine diplomacy and cooperation, especially to combat the problems that we humans have brought upon ourselves? ”Peter J. Hotez describes the complex biological, environmental, and social issues that determine susceptibility to and the impact of current and emerging infectious diseases in developing countries, along with the challenges of developing and administering vaccines to prevent disease in these nations. There are few, if any, published books that describe the same type of comprehensive systematic analysis of vaccine design and populational coverage of vaccination required to achieve public health goals.

A devastating, empathetic look at the opioid epidemic in the United States, through the eyes of a paramedic on the front lines.

KILLING SEASON A Paramedic’s Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Opioid Epidemic PETER CANNING

“[I] set my cardiac monitor down by the young man’s head. He is lifeless, his face white with a blue tinge. I apply the defibrillator pads to his hairless chest . . . A week from today, after the young man’s brain shows no signs of electrical activity, the medical staff will take the breathing tube out, and with his family gathered by his side, he will pass away at the age of twenty-three.” When Peter Canning started work as a paramedic in Hartford, Connecticut, twentyfive years ago, he believed drug users were victims only of their own character flaws. But as the overdoses escalated, Canning began asking his patients how they had gotten started on their perilous journeys. And while no two tales were the same, their heartrending similarities changed Canning’s view and moved him to educate himself about the science of addiction. Armed with that understanding, he began his fight against the stigmatization of users. In Killing Season, we ride along with Canning through the streets of Hartford as he tells stories of opioid overdose from a street-level vantage point. A first responder to hundreds of overdoses, Canning has seen the impact of prescription painkillers, heroin, and the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl firsthand. Bringing us up-close with the victims of this epidemic, Canning explains how he came to favor harm reduction, which advocates for needle exchange, community naloxone, and safe-injection sites. APRIL

SELF-HELP

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR DRINKING A Practical Guide to Alcohol Moderation, Sobriety, and When to Get Professional Help

second edition

Accepting that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to controlling drinking, the latest edition of this bestselling book will help you assess your drinking and determine whether moderation or abstinence is the best path for you.

MICHAEL S. LEVY In this practical, effective, and compassionate book, Michael S. Levy helps people take control of their alcohol problem by teaching them how to think about and address their drinking habits. Beginning with a set of self-assessments that reveal whether the reader’s use of alcohol is creating problems, Levy explains the causes of problem drinking, discusses the growing recognition that an alcohol use disorder can show itself in various ways, and talks about why it is so difficult to change. Offering advice for choosing between moderating your drinking or abstaining altogether, he also touches on coping with slipups, fighting helplessness and the fear of failure, and knowing when moderation is not achievable. The book is unique in that instead of telling people what they need to do, it helps them decide for themselves what they need to do. Drawing on the latest scientific evidence, this new edition includes • a chapter on the concept of self-medication— a useful but at times overused idea; • a chapter on the use of cannabis during recovery; • an exploration of modern strategies for dealing with drinking, including technology (apps

that count drinks, for example) and medications that curb alcohol consumption; • reflections on the use of stigma; • communication strategies for individuals seeking to share their struggle with others;

• an exploration of common triggers of relapse; • additional worksheets and tips to achieve success; • further material about self-help programs; and • insights about the dark side of addiction treatment.

CANCER WITH HOPE Facing Illness, Embracing Life, and Finding Purpose MIKE ARMSTRONG

with Eric A. Vohr foreword by Theodore DeWeese, MD

Filled with Armstrong’s personal stories as well as the stories of others, this inspiring book helps people with cancer navigate the complex and difficult journey from diagnosis through treatment, and life after the disease.

In Cancer with Hope, Mike Armstrong, a former top executive of several large US companies, chronicles his own experience with leukemia, prostate cancer, and associated illness to highlight the importance of maintaining hope and finding purpose when facing this terrible disease. In addition to life-threatening cancers, Mike survived multiple misdiagnoses, invasive surgery, near-fatal sepsis, and a crippling autoimmune disease, all while balancing family, life, and a dynamic career. Mike shares how lessons learned from growing up in hardscrabble Detroit and leading large corporations taught him the importance of hope and purpose, tools that proved invaluable throughout his cancer journey. But this is more than the tale of one man’s experience with cancer. Mike also shares stories of other cancer patients who, like him, have faced seemingly insurmountable odds yet managed to stay optimistic, maintain hope, and find purpose in life. He also offers useful advice from some of the world’s top cancer specialists, all of whom believe in the importance of hope and the transformational nature of cancer. Beyond providing inspiration and instruction to cancer patients, Cancer with Hope explores and describes how the unfathomable burden of cancer can reveal hidden potentials and new opportunities that seemed unattainable. It is an essential read for anyone on this difficult journey.

MIKE ARMSTRONG (NAPLES, FL) is the retired chairman of the Board of Trustees, Johns Hopkins Medicine Health System Corporation and Hospital, the retired chairman and director emeritus of Comcast, and the former chairman and CEO of AT&T and Hughes Electronics. Armstrong spent more than three decades with IBM, retiring as chairman of the board of the IBM World Trade Corporation. Medical writer ERIC A.

POETRY

A diverse display of formal dexterity, narrative power, and lyrical resonance, Peter Filkins’s latest collection of poems explores the fraught relationship between the natural world and the human.

WATER / MUSIC poems by PETER FILKINS Exploring and delineating the space between nature and culture, the poems of Water / Music anchor themselves in the timely and the timeless. Rich and diverse in their formal intricacy, they move with ease from narrative to meditation, from close physical observation to the haunts of memory, and from lyric sorrow to the pleasure of living in the world. The book’s fifty-three poems are divided into five sections. Opening with a clear-eyed acknowledgment of present and historical suffering, the book takes readers on an interior journey through existential duress, then a celebration of art’s ability to order and sustain. The fourth section features a rooted engagement with the natural world, while the fifth section returns to the joys and struggles of the quotidian. Poems touch on the wartime background of Monet’s Water Lilies, moonlight shining on a lake in summer, current anxieties seen through W. H. Auden’s glasses, the oracular mystery of the natural world, the final tears of St. Augustine, the glow of narcissi forced in winter, the omen of climate change in spring’s early arrival, and the “chalk-dry taste / of history” in the guise of an arrowhead.

“Peter Filkins engages with both the political and personal, the natural and the intellectual, and animating all of these marvelous poems is a keen moral sensibility that finds its home in rigorously made, sonorous, enduring poems.” —Mark Wunderlich, author of The Earth Avails PETER FILKINS (CHESHIRE, MA) is the Richard B. Fisher Professor of Literature and Creative Writing at Bard College at Simon’s Rock and a visiting professor of literature at Bard College. He is the author

LITERATURE

THE COMPLETE POETRY OF PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY

This new volume of JHU Press’s landmark Shelley edition contains posthumous and unpublished poems edited from original manuscripts.

Volume 7 edited by NORA CROOK

Neil Fraistat and Nora Crook, General Editors “The world will surely one day feel what it has lost,” wrote Mary Shelley after Percy Bysshe Shelley’s premature death in July 1822. Determined to hasten that day, she recovered his unpublished and uncollected poems and sifted through his surviving notebooks and papers. In Genoa during the winter of 1822–23, she painstakingly transcribed poetry “interlined and broken into fragments, so that the sense could only be deciphered and joined by guesses.” Blasphemy and sedition laws prevented her from including her husband’s most outspoken radical works, but the resulting volume, Posthumous Poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley (1824), was a magnificent display of Shelley’s versatility and craftsmanship between 1816 and 1822. Few such volumes have made more difference to an author’s reputation. The seventh volume of the acclaimed Complete Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley extracts from Posthumous Poems those original poems and fragments Mary Shelley edited. The collection opens with Shelley’s enigmatic dream vision The Triumph of Life, the last major poem he began—and, in the opinion of T. S. Eliot, the finest thing he ever wrote. There follow some of the most famous and beautiful of Shelley’s short lyrics, narrative fragments, two unfinished plays, as well as a few previously unreleased pieces. Upholding the standards of accuracy and comprehensiveness set by previous volumes, every item in volume 7 has been newly edited from the original manuscripts. Volumes 4 to 6 are in preparation.

NORA CROOK (CAMBRIDGE, UK) is professor emerita of English literature at Anglia Ruskin University. NEIL FRAISTAT (WASHINGTON, DC) is professor emeritus of English at the University of Maryland and the president of the Keats-Shelley Association of America.

HIGHER EDUCATION

Following Grawe’s seminal first book, this volume answers the question: How can a college or university prepare for forecasted demographic disruptions?

THE AGILE COLLEGE How Institutions Successfully Navigate Demographic Changes NATHAN D. GRAWE

author of Demographics and the Demand for Higher Education Demographic changes promise to reshape the market for higher education in the next 15 years. Colleges are already grappling with the consequences of declining family size due to low birth rates brought on by the Great Recession, as well as the continuing shift toward minority student populations. Each institution faces a distinct market context with unique organizational strengths; no one-size-fits-all answer could suffice. In this essential follow-up to Demographics and the Demand for Higher Education, Nathan D. Grawe explores how proactive institutions are preparing for the resulting challenges that lie ahead. While it isn’t possible to reverse the demographic tide, most institutions, he argues persuasively, can mitigate the effects. Drawing on interviews with higher education leaders, Grawe explores successful avenues of response, including • recruitment initiatives

• retrenchment efforts

• institutional growth plans

• retention programs

• revisions to the academic and cocurricular program

• collaborative action

Throughout, Grawe presents readers with examples taken from a range of institutions— small and large, public and private, two-year and four-year, selective and open-access. While an effective response to demographic change must reflect the individual campus context, the cases Grawe analyzes will prompt conversations about the best paths forward.

WHEN COLLEGES CLOSE

How would you lead your college if you knew that you had to close it?

Leading in a Time of Crisis MARY L. CHURCHILL and DAVID J. CHARD Founded in 1888 as Miss Wheelock’s Kindergarten Training School, Wheelock College’s mission was to prepare students to work in the helping professions, including teaching and social work. But in 2018, struggling with growing debt and declining admissions, the 130-year-old institution officially closed and merged with Boston University, creating the BU Wheelock College of Education and Human Development. Written by the former president and vice president of academic affairs of Wheelock College, When Colleges Close presents the remarkable success story of Wheelock’s merger with Boston University and its closure as a standalone institution. In an era when more and more institutions are at risk of closure, this book offers a detailed description of how the board and administration of one small college with an enrollment of under 1,100 students determined early that it needed to plan for a future in which it would no longer be viable. Mary L. Churchill and David J. Chard provide readers with a detailed understanding of the process they designed with their board and select members of the Wheelock community to generate multiple partnership options. They also describe how they managed the process through the final negotiations, despite being a small institution in an asymmetric merger with Boston University, which has an enrollment of over 33,000 students. Written for leaders in both small colleges and larger universities, as well as for scholars of higher education who are interested in strategic planning, When Colleges Close is the sobering yet hopeful story of a venerable regional institution that turned its long-term enrollment challenges into a strong merger.

As universities transform cities with their innovation districts, what works in these new public-private partnerships?

ANCHORING INNOVATION DISTRICTS The Entrepreneurial University and Urban Change COSTAS SPIROU In recent years, the successful revitalization of urban areas has turned them into magnets for those looking for opportunities in a fast-paced and rapidly unfolding technologybased economy. After the economic crisis of 2008, many colleges and universities attempted to generate alternative sources of revenue and pursued aggressive economic development strategies. Some universities even began to actively invest resources in the rebirth (and rebranding) of urban cores, encouraging the development of entrepreneurial, technology-oriented innovation districts. In Anchoring Innovation Districts, Costas Spirou explains that these districts have emerged as geographic clusters of technology startups, business incubators, and accelerators. They aim to take advantage of intellectual capital, commercialize knowledge, and give their associated institutions a way to enter into the market. The outcome of robust private-public partnerships and complex real estate strategies, these initiatives also complement other urban revitalization efforts and reshape the socioeconomic makeup of city neighborhoods. Presenting readers with six case studies that explore the role of technological innovation, Spirou argues that higher education–anchored innovation districts can make significant contributions to economic expansion, job growth, and the institutions that guide their development. He also points out that these districts nonetheless raise questions about the impact of the Ivory Tower on the urban environment.

HOW TO MARKET A UNIVERSITY Building Value in a Competitive Environment TERESA M. FLANNERY

How can universities implement strategic integrated marketing to effectively build and communicate their value?

To see more books in the series go to jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu

At a time of declining public support, a shrinking pipeline of traditional college-bound students, and a steady rise in tuition and discount rates, higher education leaders have never been under more pressure. How can they ensure steady or growing enrollments while cultivating greater philanthropic support, increasing research funding, and diversifying revenue streams? In How to Market a University, Teresa M. Flannery argues that institutions can meet all of these goals by implementing strategic integrated marketing in ways that are consistent with academic culture and university values. Flannery provides a road map for college leaders who want to learn how to build value—both in terms of revenue and reputation—by differentiating from competitors and developing personalized, supportive, and long-lasting relationships with stakeholders. Defining marketing while identifying its purposes in the context of higher education, Flannery draws on nonprofit marketing scholarship, the expertise of leading higher education marketing practitioners and administrators, and her own experiences over two decades at two different institutions. She teaches readers how to • set up their marketing leadership for success • find or build the necessary organizational capacity • set a firm foundation through market research • establish a differentiated value proposition and strong brand strategy

• encourage enterprise-wide integration of marketing and communications • consider technical and resource requirements to succeed in digital marketing • develop appropriate and rigorous measurement • plan for appropriate investment • anticipate and prepare for future trends

How do we create a culture of zero tolerance for sexual violence on college campuses?

ENDING SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN COLLEGE A Community-Focused Approach JOANNE H. GAVIN, JAMES CAMPBELL QUICK, and DAVID J. GAVIN In a world where one in five women on campus experiences some form of sexual assault, what would it take to create a campus culture that was free of violence against women? In this practical guide for colleges and universities, Joanne H. Gavin, James Campbell Quick, and David J. Gavin lay out a community-based model that is designed to eliminate sexual misconduct, spot it before it happens, punish its perpetrators, support its victims/ survivors, and end this epidemic. Ending Sexual Violence in College is a prescriptive guide for creating a campus culture that is intolerant of sexual misconduct regardless of who is involved or the context in which it happens. A culture of intolerance, the authors argue, does not consider the role or status of either the perpetrator or victim/survivor. Rather, this culture protects all members. Using a public health model with an emphasis on prevention to create this cultural change, the book utilizes psychological and organizational research to understand the challenges of making these changes while enhancing the odds of permanent cultural change for the better.

LAKE HYDROLOGY

The first book dedicated to describing the hydrology of water flow in lake systems, geared for limnologists and students of hydrology.

An Introduction to Lake Mass Balance WILLIAM LEROY EVANS III

With fresh water becoming a critical issue around the world, lake mass balance— the hydrology or water movement in lakes—is increasingly important to environmental studies and remediation projects. Unfortunately, lake hydrology is often only briefly covered in broader texts on hydrogeology and hydrology or is confined to specialized research papers. In Lake Hydrology, the first book focused on the topic, William LeRoy Evans III rigorously describes the hydrology of flow into and out of lake systems. Explaining the physical parameters that influence lake behavior, as well as the mathematics that describes these systems, this in-depth book fills an important niche in the literature of watershed science. This text • describes the physical structure and nature of drainage basins and explains the origin and classification of lakes

• uses examples from real-world long-term studies, including Utah’s Great Salt Lake and Florida’s Lake Jackson, a karstic lake system

• explores the hydrology of lake mass balance and storage as it pertains to lake stage, groundwater and lake bottom interaction, hypsometry, lake hydraulics, precipitation, surface flow, evaporation, and transpiration

• examines the effect of storm events including the temporal and areal distribution of rainfall, and flow paths of water in the catchment from precipitation

• provides models, practical information, and solutions for lake management or remediation planning utilizing basic data, including stage fluctuation, evapotranspiration, lake-bottom seepage, precipitation, and surface flow

• includes a brief introduction on relevant scientific principles, such as dimensional analysis, the properties of water, and the hydrologic cycle

A Study in Plant-Animal Interactions

MICHAEL A. STEELE illustrations by Tad C. Theimer Seed dispersal is a critical stage in the life cycle of most flowering plants. The process can have far-reaching effects on a species’ biology, especially numerous aspects of its ecology and evolution. In Oak Seed Dispersal, Michael A. Steele draws on three decades of field research across the globe to describe the interactions between oaks and their seed consumers. Rodents, birds, and insects, he writes, collectively influence the survival, movement, and germination of acorns, as well as the establishment of seedlings, often indicating a coevolutionary bond between oaks and their seed consumers. This bond can only be understood by unraveling the complex interactions that occur in the context of factors such as acorn chemistry, scatterhoarding, predation of the seed consumers, and the effects of masting. Offering new insights on ecological and evolutionary processes in forest ecosystems, Oak Seed Dispersal also includes an overview of threatened oak forests across the globe and explains how a lack of acorn dispersal contributes to many important conservation challenges. Highly illustrated, the book includes photographs of key dispersal organisms and tactics, as well as a foreword by Stephen B. Vander Wall, a leading authority on food hoarding and animal-mediated seed dispersal, and beautiful artwork by Tad C. Theimer, also an accomplished ecologist.

Covering diverse species from garter snakes to Komodo dragons, this book delves into the evolutionary origins and fascinating details of the mysterious social lives of reptiles.

THE SECRET SOCIAL LIVES OF REPTILES J. SEAN DOODY, VLADIMIR DINETS, and GORDON M. BURGHARDT In The Secret Social Lives of Reptiles, J. Sean Doody, Vladimir Dinets, and Gordon M. Burghardt—three of the world’s leading experts on reptiles—bring together a wave of new research with a synthesis of classic studies to produce the only authoritative look at the social behaviors of the most provocative animals on the planet. The book covers turtles, lizards, snakes, crocodilians, and the enigmatic tuatara. Enhanced with dozens of images it takes readers through a myriad of social interactions, tendencies, and intimacies ranging from fierce territorial battles to delicate paternal care and from promiscuous pairings to monogamous partnerships. This unique text • explains why reptiles have been neglected as subjects of social behavior studies; • provides numerous examples across all major reptilian groups that overturn the false paradigm of “solitary” reptiles; • explores the sensory, genetic, physiological, life history, and other factors underlying social behavior in reptiles;

• presents the case that evolutionary “experiments” found among reptiles offer unparalleled opportunities for understanding how and why social behavior evolves in animals; and • identifies new and developing areas of research helping to reshape our view of reptiles.

OPOSSUMS An Adaptive Radiation of New World Marsupials

The definitive volume on opossums, a group of ecologically and scientifically important mammals, covering natural history, evolution, behavior, and biogeography.

ROBERT S. VOSS and SHARON A. JANSA Opossums are the most diverse and ecologically important group of New World marsupials, although only the Virginia opossum is familiar to North American residents. In fact, many species of opossums are found in Neotropical rainforests, savannas, and other habitats, where they are key participants in food webs and other ecological relationships. In Opossums, the first book-length treatment of these fascinating organisms, recognized authorities Robert S. Voss and Sharon A. Jansa synthesize a wide range of available information about the diversity, comparative biology, and natural history of the opossum. Peering into every biological facet of the lives of these long-neglected mammals, the volume includes • introductory chapters explaining the paleontological and biogeographic context for opossum evolution

• detailed information on opossum natural history, including habitats, diets, predators, and parasites

• an overview of the extant fauna, which includes over 100 species in 18 genera

• in-depth and novel interpretations of opossums’ adaptive radiation in a phylogenetic context

• a section devoted to opossum phenotypes: morphology, physiology, and behavior

Intended for undergraduate biology majors, graduate students, and research professionals, this coherent and original portrait of opossums will be of particular interest to mammalogists, evolutionary biologists, and Neotropical field biologists as well as biomedical researchers working with Monodelphis domestica as a model organism.

PSYCHOLOGY

The life story of Jeanne Simons, whose own autism informed her pioneering work with autistic children.

BEHIND THE MIRROR The Story of a Pioneer in Autism Treatment and Her Work with Children on the Spectrum JEANNE SIMONS

as told to and with commentary by Sabine Oishi, PhD foreword and afterword by James C. Harris, MD Jeanne Simons devoted her career as a social worker to the study, treatment, and care of children with autism. In 1955, she established the Linwood Children’s Center in Ellicott City, Maryland, one of the first schools especially for pupils with autism anywhere in the world. Her Linwood Model, developed there, was widely adopted and still forms the basis for a variety of autism intervention techniques. Incredibly—although unknown at the time—Jeanne was herself autistic. Behind the Mirror reveals the remarkable tale of this trailblazer and how she thought, felt, and experienced the world around her. With moving immediacy, Jeanne tells her life story to developmental psychologist, friend, and collaborator Sabine Oishi, describing various adaptive strategies and coping mechanisms she developed to help control challenging behaviors associated with autism. Reflecting on her early years, she explains how she cognitively retreated behind a metaphorical one-way observational mirror, suppressed her panic when overwhelmed by emotional relationships, and followed self-imposed obsessive rituals to maintain emotional stability—all of which fit into what we now classify within a broad autism spectrum diagnosis.

JEANNE SIMONS, LCSW, ACSW (1910–2005) founded the Linwood Children’s Center for children with autism in Ellicott City, MD. There, she pioneered a highly successful treatment approach, which she described in the book The Hidden Child: The Linwood Method for Reaching the Autistic Child. SABINE

HEALTH POLICY

CORPORATIZING AMERICAN HEALTH CARE How We Lost Our Health Care System ROBERT W. DERLET, MD

Tracking the evolution of medical care from a small cottage industry to a giant impersonal corporate industry costing Americans over $3 trillion each year.

In Corporatizing American Health Care, Robert W. Derlet, MD, traces the progression of health care policy in the United States. How, he asks, has US health care transformed from bedside medicine—a model of small practices and patient-focused care—into corporate medicine, which prioritizes profit and deals with both patient care and outcomes as billing codes? Arguing that the US Congress is the root of the problem, he describes how Congress has failed to enact legislation to prevent corporate monopolies in the health care industry. Instead, corrupted by large campaign donations and corporate lobbyists, Congress has crafted loopholes benefiting corporations and harming people. Drawing on his decades as a practicing physician caring for thousands of patients, as well as his university and medical school teaching experience, Derlet follows changes to both policy and practice across many sectors of health care. Scrutinizing how hospitals work, he also takes a hard look at high prescription drug prices, unresponsive insurance companies, problems with the Affordable Care Act, the growing medical implant device industry, and even nursing homes. Finally, he explains why the dominance of corporations and their lobbyists over health policy means that we now pay more for our care and our medications but have less choice both in what doctors we see and in what drugs we take. Breaking down the complex ABCs of health care to reveal the unscrupulous practices of the health care industry, Corporatizing American Health Care is perfect for both students and general readers who want to understand the changes in our system from the perspective of an actual doctor.

How can urban leaders in Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis make the smart choices that can lead their city to make a comeback?

UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF POST-INDUSTRIAL CITIES MATTHEW E. KAHN and MAC McCOMAS

In Unlocking the Potential of Post-Industrial Cities, Matthew E. Kahn and Mac McComas explore why some people and places thrive during a time of growing economic inequality and polarization—and some don’t. They examine six underperforming cities—Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis—that have struggled from 1970 to the present. Drawing from the field of urban economics, Kahn and McComas ask how the public and private sectors can craft policies and make investments that create safe, green cities where young people reach their full potential. The authors analyze longrun economic and demographic trends. They also highlight recent lessons from urban economics in labor market demand and supply, neighborhood quality of life, and local governance while scrutinizing strategies to lift people out of poverty. These cities are all at a fork in the road. Depending on choices made today, they could enjoy a significant comeback—but only if local leaders are open to experimentation and innovation while being honest about failure and constructive evaluation. Unlocking the Potential of Post-Industrial Cities provides a roadmap for how urban policy makers, community members, and practitioners in the public and private sectors can work together with researchers to discover how all cities can solve the most pressing modern urban challenges.

BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

FATHER JAMES PAGE An Enslaved Preacher’s Climb to Freedom

This first-of-its-kind biography tells the story of Rev. James Page, who rose from slavery to become a religious and political leader among African Americans.

LARRY EUGENE RIVERS James Page spent the majority of his life enslaved—during which time he experienced the death of his free father, witnessed his mother and brother being sold on the auction block, and was forcibly moved 700 miles south from Richmond, Virginia, to Tallahassee, Florida, by his enslaver, John Parkhill. Page would go on to become a religious leader who was widely respected by enslaved men and women. Rare for enslaved people at the time, Page was literate—and left behind ten letters that focused on his philosophy as an enslaved preacher and, later, as a free minister, educator, politician, and social justice advocate. In Father James Page, Larry Eugene Rivers presents Page as a complex, conflicted man. Rivers emphasizes Page’s agency in pursuing a religious vocation, in seeking to exhibit “manliness” in the face of chattel slavery, and in pushing back against the overwhelming power of his enslaver. Post-emancipation, Page continued to preach and to advocate for Black self-determination and independence through Black land ownership, political participation, and business ownership. The church he founded—Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in Tallahassee—would go on to be a major political force not only during Reconstruction but through today. Based upon numerous archival sources and personal papers, as well as an in-depth interview with James Page and a reflection on his life by a contemporary, this deeply researched book brings to light a fascinating life filled with contradictions concerning gender, education, and the social interaction between the races. Rivers’s biography of Page is an important addition, and corrective, to our understanding of Black spirituality and religion, political organizing, and civic engagement.

MILITARY HISTORY

The magnum opus of one of the deans of American naval history.

INSIDE THE US NAVY OF 1812–1815 WILLIAM S. DUDLEY When the War of 1812 broke out, the newly formed and cash-strapped United States faced Great Britain, the world’s foremost sea power, with a navy that had largely fallen into disrepair and neglect. In this riveting book, William S. Dudley presents the most complete history of the inner workings of the US Navy Department during the conflict, which lasted until 1815. What did it take, he asks, for the US Navy to build, fit-out, man, provision, and send fighting ships to sea for extended periods of time during the War of 1812? When the British blockade of 1813–1814 severely constrained American sea trade, reducing the government’s income and closing down access to American seaports, the navy was forced to innovate: to make improvements through reforms, to redeploy personnel, and to strengthen its industrial capacity. Highlighting matters of supply, construction, recruitment, discipline, medical care, shipbuilding, and innovation, Dudley helps readers understand the navy’s successes and failures in the war and beyond. He also presents the logistics of the war in relation to fleet actions on the lakes and selected ship actions on the oceans, stresses the importance of administration in warfighting, and shows how reforms and innovations in those areas led to a stronger, more efficient navy. Drawing on twenty-five years of archival research around the world, Inside the US Navy of 1812–1815 will leave readers with a better appreciation of how the navy contributed strategic value to the nation’s survival in the conflict and assisted in bringing the war to an end.

US HISTORY

TO HER CREDIT Women, Finance, and the Law in Eighteenth-Century New England Cities

A transformative look at colonial women’s pivotal roles as lenders and debtors in shaping the economic and legal systems of Newport and Boston.

SARA T. DAMIANO In colonial Boston and Newport, personal credit relationships were a cornerstone of economic networks. Seafaring and military service drew men away from home, some never to return. The absences of male household heads during this era of economic transition forced New Englanders to evaluate a pressing question: Who would establish and manage consequential financial relationships? In To Her Credit, Sara T. Damiano uncovers free women’s centrality to the interrelated worlds of eighteenth-century finance and law. Focusing on everyday life in Boston, Massachusetts, and Newport, Rhode Island—two of the busiest port cities of this period—Damiano argues that colonial women’s skilled labor actively facilitated the growth of Atlantic ports and their legal systems. Mining vast troves of court records, Damiano reveals that married and unmarried women of all social classes forged new paths through the complexities of credit and debt, stabilizing credit networks amid demographic and economic turmoil. In turn, urban women mobilized sophisticated skills and strategies as borrowers, lenders, litigants, and witnesses. Highlighting the often-unrecognized malleability of early American social hierarchies, the book shows how indebtedness intensified women’s vulnerability, while acting as creditors, clients, or witnesses enabled women to exercise significant power over men. Yet by the late eighteenth century, class differentiation began to mark finance and the law as masculine realms, obscuring women’s contributions to the very institutions they helped to create. The first book to systematically reconstruct the centrality of women’s labor to eighteenth-century personal credit relationships, To Her Credit will be an eye-opening work for economic historians, legal historians, and anyone interested in the early history of New England.

HISTORY OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, and ENGINEERING

SOVEREIGN SKIES The Origins of American Civil Aviation Policy

A pathbreaking history of the regulatory foundations of America’s twentieth-century aerial preeminence.

SEAN SEYER Today, the federal government possesses unparalleled authority over the atmosphere of the United States. Yet when the Wright brothers inaugurated the air age on December 17, 1903, the sky was an unregulated frontier. As increasing numbers of aircraft threatened public safety in subsequent decades and World War I accentuated national security concerns about aviation, the need for government intervention became increasingly apparent. In Sovereign Skies, Sean Seyer provides a radically new understanding of the origins of American aviation policy in the first decades of the twentieth century. Drawing on the concept of mental models from cognitive science, regime theory from political science, and extensive archival sources, Seyer situates the development, spread, and institutionalization of a distinct American regulatory idea within its proper international context. He illustrates how a relatively small group of bureaucrats, military officers, industry leaders, and engineers drew upon previous regulatory schemes and international principles in their struggle to define government’s relationship to the airplane. In so doing, he challenges the current domestic-centered narrative within the literature and delineates the central role of the airplane in the reinterpretation of federal power under the commerce clause. By placing the origins of aviation policy within a broader transnational context, Sovereign Skies highlights the influence of global regimes on US policy and demonstrates the need for continued engagement in world affairs. Filling a major gap in the historiography of aviation, it will be of interest to readers of aviation, diplomatic, and legal history, as well as regulatory policy and American political development.

How disasters that have wrecked work sites throughout American history—in all parts of the nation and all sectors of the economy— have also inspired policy reform.

HAVOC AND REFORM Workplace Disasters in Modern America JAMES P. KRAFT

Workplace disasters have wreaked havoc on countless American workers and their families. They have resulted in widespread death and disability, as well as the loss of property and savings. These tragic events have also inspired safety reforms that reshaped labor conditions in ways that partially compensated for death, suffering, and social dislocation. In Havoc and Reform, James P. Kraft encourages readers to think about such disastrous events in new ways. Placing the problem of workplace safety in historical context, Kraft focuses on five catastrophes that shocked the nation in the half century after World War II, a time when service-oriented industries became the nation’s leading engines of job growth. Looking to growing areas of economic life in the Western Sunbelt, Kraft touches on the 1947 explosion of the Texas City Monsanto Chemical Company plant; the 1956 airliner collision over the Grand Canyon; the hospital collapses following the 1971 San Fernando earthquake; the 1980 fire at the Las Vegas MGM Grand; and the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Building. These incidents destroyed places of employment that seemed safe and affected a relatively wide range of working people, including highly trained, salaried professionals and blue- and white-collar groups. And each took a toll on the general public, increasing fears that anyone could be in danger of being killed or injured, putting added pressure on public officials to prevent similar tragedies in the future.

VACCINES DID NOT CAUSE RACHEL’S AUTISM My Journey as a Vaccine Scientist, Pediatrician, and Autism Dad PETER J. HOTEZ, MD, PhD

foreword by Arthur L. Caplan In Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel’s Autism, Peter J. Hotez draws on his experiences as a pediatrician, vaccine scientist, and father of an autistic child. Outlining the arguments on both sides of the debate, he examines the science that refutes the concerns of the anti-vaccine movement, debunks current conspiracy theories alleging a cover-up by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and critiques the scientific community’s failure to effectively communicate the facts about vaccines and autism to the general public, all while sharing his very personal story of raising a now-adult daughter with autism. A uniquely authoritative account, this important book persuasively provides evidence for the genetic basis of autism and illustrates how the neurodevelopmental pathways of autism are under way before birth. Dr. Hotez reminds readers of the many victories of vaccines over disease while warning about the growing dangers of the anti-vaccine movement, especially in the United States and Europe. Now, with the anti-vaccine movement reenergized in our COVID-19 era, this book is especially timely. Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel’s Autism is a must-read for parent groups, child advocates, teachers, health-care providers, government policymakers, health and science policy experts, and anyone caring for a family member or friend with autism.

A Radical Approach to Saving the University

foreword by Michael A. Olivas The 1960s was the most transformative decade in the history of American higher education. John R. Thelin reinterprets the campus world shaped during one of the most dramatic decades in American history. Reconstructing all phases of the college experience, Thelin explores how students competed for admission, paid for college in an era before Pell Grants, dealt with crowded classes and dormitories, voiced concerns about the curriculum, grappled with new tensions in big-time college sports, and overcame discrimination. Thelin augments his anecdotal experience with a survey of landmark state and federal policies and programs shaping higher education, a chronological look at media coverage of college campuses over the course of the decade, and an account of institutional changes in terms of curricula and administration.

Can the university solve the social and political crisis in America? Higher education occupies a difficult place in twenty-firstcentury American culture. In an age characterized by rampant anti-intellectualism, Kathleen Fitzpatrick charges the academy with thinking constructively rather than competitively, building new ideas rather than tearing old ones down. She urges us to rethink how we teach the humanities and to refocus our attention on the very human ends—the desire for community and connection—that the humanities can best serve. One key aspect of that transformation involves fostering an atmosphere of what Fitzpatrick dubs “generous thinking,” a mode of engagement that emphasizes listening over speaking, community over individualism, and collaboration over competition.

An in-depth look at the history of the environment. In this fascinating book, Paul Warde, Libby Robin, and Sverker Sörlin trace the emergence of the concept of the environment following World War II, a period characterized by both hope for a new global order and fear of humans’ capacity for almost limitless destruction. It was at this moment that a new idea and a new narrative about the planet-wide impact of people’s behavior emerged, closely allied to anxieties for the future.

edited by MICHAEL L. MORRISON and HEATHER A. MATHEWSON Wildlife Habitat Conservation presents an authoritative review of the habitat concept, provides a scientifically rigorous definition, and emphasizes how we must focus on those critical factors contained within what we call habitat. The result is a habitat concept that promises longterm persistence of animal populations. Key concepts include standard conceptual definitions of wildlife, and a discussion of popular demographics and population persistence with the concept of habitat.

FOUR GUARDIANS A Principled Agent View of American Civil-Military Relations

NATIONAL SECURITY

Exploring the profound differences between what the military services believe—and how they uniquely serve the nation.

JEFFREY W. DONNITHORNE When the US military confronts pressing security challenges, the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps often react differently as they advise and execute civilian defense policies. Conventional wisdom holds that these dynamics tend to reflect a competition for prestige, influence, and dollars. Such interservice rivalries, however, are only a fraction of the real story. In Four Guardians, Jeffrey W. Donnithorne argues that the services act instead as principled agents, interpreting policies in ways that reflect their unique cultures and patterns of belief. Chapter-length portraits of each service highlight the influence of operational environment and political history in shaping each service’s cultural worldview. The book also offers two important case studies of civil-military policymaking: one, the little-known story of the creation of the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force in the early 1980s; the other, the four-year political battle that led to the passage of the Goldwater–Nichols Act in 1986. Donnithorne uses these cases to demonstrate the principled-agent framework in action while amply revealing the four services as distinctly different political actors. Combining crisp insight and empirical depth with engaging military history, Four Guardians brings a new appreciation for the American military, the complex dynamics of civilian control, and the principled ways in which the four guardian services defend their nation.

“Jeff Donnithorne gives us the most lucidly written, systematic, and comprehensive explanation to date of the forces that have shaped each service’s behavior. His book is essential reading for policymakers heading for the Pentagon, as well as scholars interested in understanding how large organizations acquire their unique personalities.”—Thomas L. McNaugher, author of New Weapons, Old Politics: America’s Military Procurement Muddle

REVOLUTIONARY NETWORKS The Business and Politics of Printing the News, 1763–1789 JOSEPH M. ADELMAN During the American Revolution, printed material, including newspapers, pamphlets, almanacs, and broadsides, played a crucial role as a forum for public debate. In Revolutionary Networks, Joseph M. Adelman argues that printers—artisans who mingled with the elite but labored in a manual trade—used their commercial and political connections to directly shape Revolutionary political ideology and mass mobilization. Going into the printing offices of colonial America to explore how these documents were produced, Adelman shows how printers balanced their own political beliefs and interests alongside the commercial interests of their businesses, the customs of the printing trade, and the prevailing mood of their communities.

TAKING NAZI TECHNOLOGY Allied Exploitation of German Science after the Second World War DOUGLAS M. O’REAGAN In Taking Nazi Technology, Douglas M. O’Reagan describes how the Western Allies gathered teams of experts to scour defeated Germany, seeking industrial secrets and the technical personnel who could explain them. Swarms of investigators invaded Germany’s factories and research institutions, seizing or copying all kinds of documents, from patent applications to factory production data to science journals. They questioned, hired, and sometimes even kidnapped hundreds of scientists, engineers, and other technical personnel. They took over academic libraries, jealously competed over chemists, and schemed to deny the fruits of German invention to any other land—including that of other Allied nations.

Private, voluntary standards shape almost everything we use, from screw threads to shipping containers to e-readers. They have been critical to every major change in the world economy for more than a century, including the rise of global manufacturing and the ubiquity of the internet. In Engineering Rules, JoAnne Yates and Craig N. Murphy trace the standardsetting system’s evolution through time, revealing a process with an astonishingly pervasive, if rarely noticed, impact on all of our lives.

How did the idea of the imagination impact Romantic literature and science? Richard C. Sha argues that scientific understandings of the imagination indelibly shaped literary Romanticism. Challenging the idea that the imagination found a home only on the side of the literary, as a mental vehicle for transcending the worldly materials of the sciences, Sha shows how imagination helped to operationalize both scientific and literary discovery. Essentially, the imagination forced writers to consider the difference between what was possible and impossible while thinking about how that difference could be known.

EIKO OTAKE and WILLIAM JOHNSTON On March 11, 2011 one of the most powerful earthquakes in recorded history devastated Japan, triggering a massive tsunami and nuclear meltdowns at three reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant complex in a triple disaster known as 3.11. On five separate journeys, Japanese-born performer and dancer Eiko Otake and historian and photographer William Johnston visited multiple locations across Fukushima, creating 200 transformative color photographs that document the irradiated landscape, accentuated by Eiko’s poses depicting both the sorrow and dignity of the land. The book also includes essays and commentary reflecting on art, disaster, and grief.

“By placing my body in these places, I thought of the generations of people who used to live there. Now desolate, only time and wind continue to move.”—Eiko Otake

MEMOIR and DISABILITY STUDIES

A memoir about disability and siblinghood that is candid and comical.

NOTHING SPECIAL The Mostly True, Sometimes Funny Tales of Two Sisters DIANNE BILYAK

FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS

Nothing Special is a disarmingly candid tale of two sisters growing up in the 1970s in rural Connecticut. Older sister Chris, who has Down syndrome, is an extrovert with a knack for getting what she wants, while the author, her younger, typically developing “Irish twin,” shoulders the burdens and grief of her parents, especially their father’s alcoholism. In Nothing Special Bilyak details wrestling with their mixed emotions in vignettes that range from heartrending to laugh-out-loud funny, including anecdotes about Chris’s habit of faux smoking popsicle sticks or partying through the night with her invisible friends. Poet and disability advocate Dianne Bilyak strikes a rare balance between poignant and hilarious as she paints a compassionate and critical real-world picture of their lives. They struggle, separately and together, with the tension between dependence and independence, the complexities of giving versus receiving, the pressure to live as others expect, and in the end, the wonderful liberation of self-acceptance.

“In Nothing Special, her highly readable, cliché-free memoir, Dianne shares her fifty-year journey of siblinghood and self-discovery. Rich in character, humor, hardearned insights, and love, Dianne’s story will surprise the uninitiated, be revelatory to parents, and for those who also walk in her shoes.”—Rachel Simon, author of Riding the Bus with My Sister DIANNE BILYAK (STAFFORD SPRINGS, CT) is a Pushcart-prize nominated writer, graduate of the Yale Divinity School, and Connecticut disability rights advocate.

Once in a blue moon, a love like this comes along. This collection of love poems draws us into the sacred liminal space that surrounds death. With her beloved gravely ill, poet and activist Minnie Bruce Pratt turns to daily walks and writing to find a way to go on in a world where injustice brings so much loss and death. Each poem is a pocket lens “to swivel out and magnify” the beauty in “the little glints, insignificant” that catch her eye: “The first flowers, smaller than this.” Even as she asks, “What’s the use of poetry? Not one word comes back to talk me out of pain,” the book delivers a vision of love that is boldly political and laced with a tumultuous hope that promises: “Revolution is bigger than both of us, revolution is a science that infers the future presence of us.”

Award-winning poet Ed Roberson confronts the realities of an era in which the fate of humanity and the very survival of our planet are uncertain. Departing from the traditional nature poem, Roberson’s work reclaims a much older tradition, drawing into poetry’s orbit what the physical and human sciences reveal about the state of a changing world. These poems entail the evolution of the traditional “nature poem,’ each realizing its failure at an answer to our crisis, and even calling into question poetic form. Reflections on the natural world and moments of personal interiority are interwoven with images of urbanscapes, environmental crises, and political issues. These poems speak life and truth to modernity in all its complexity. Throughout, Roberson takes up the ancient spiritual concern—the ephemerality of life—and gives us a new

LITERARY COLLECTIONS and ESSAYS

Essays and occasional writings from one of literature’s iconic voices.

OCCASIONAL VIEWS, VOLUME 1 ”More About Writing” and Other Essays SAMUEL R. DELANY Samuel R. Delany is an acclaimed writer of literary theory, queer literature, and fiction. His “prismatic output is among the most significant, immense and innovative in American letters,” wrote the New York Times in 2019; “Delany’s books interweave science fiction with histories of race, sexuality, and control. In so doing, he gives readers fiction that reflects and explores the social truths of our world.” This anthology of essays, lectures, and interviews addresses topics such as 9/11, race, the garden of Eden, the interplay of life and writing, and notes on other writers such as Theodore Sturgeon, Hart Crane, Ursula K. Le Guin, Holderlin, and a note on—and a conversation with—Octavia Butler. The first of two volumes, this book gathers more than twenty-five pieces on films, poetry, and science fiction. These sharp, focused writings by a bestselling Black, gay author are filled with keen insights and observations on culture, language, and life.

“Occasional Views, Volume 1 is an incredibly generous entry point to Samuel R. Delany’s pioneering insights about the intersections of genre, race, sexuality, Science Fiction and what it means to live through and amongst those categories. As he states, ‘What we need is not so much radical writers as we need radical readers!’ This collection helps us satisfy that deeply necessary and timely cultural need.”—Louis Chude-Sokei, author of Floating In A Most Peculiar Way: A Memoir MARCH

BRENT RYAN BELLAMY

Understanding US culture through the post-apocalyptic novel. This book explores the post-apocalyptic novel in American literature from the 1940s to the present as reflections of a growing anxiety about the decline of US hegemony. Post-apocalyptic novels imagine human responses to the aftermath of catastrophe. The shape of the future they imagine is defined by “the remainder,” when what is left behind expresses itself in storytelling tropes. Since 1945 the portentous fate of the United States has shifted from the irradiated future of nuclear holocaust to the saltwater wash of global warming. Theorist Brent Ryan Bellamy illuminates the political unconscious of post-apocalyptic writing, drawing on a range of disciplinary fields, including science fiction studies, American studies, energy humanities research, and critical race theory.

This scholarly essay collection investigates the global impact of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. It focuses on the artistic, political, and cultural interventions of Beyoncé’s creative output, from Destiny’s Child to Lemonade and Homecoming. Sixteen international scholars explore Beyonce’s artistry and reception from the perspectives of critical race studies, gender and women’s studies, queer and cultural studies, music, and fan studies.

YANG HUANG From award-winning author Yang Huang, My Good Son explores the power—and the cost— of parental love. A tailor in post-Tiananmen China, Mr. Cai has one ambition: for his son, Feng, to make something of himself. With harsh discipline and relentless pressure, Mr. Cai succeeds in getting Feng ready to attend a US college, but Feng needs a sponsor. When Mr. Cai meets a closeted American art student named Jude, they hatch a plan that will benefit them both: get Feng to the US and help Jude come out to his conservative father. Their scheme will expose the fault lines in both Chinese and American cultures—father-son relationships, familial expectations, gender and sexuality, social status, and mobility. Huang’s writing abounds with sharp insights and a quiet humor, revealing the complexity of family relationships amidst two rapidly changing cultures.

YANG HUANG (BERKELEY, CA) grew up in Yangzhou, China and has lived in the United States since 1990. Her linked story collection, My Old Faithful, won the Juniper Prize for fiction.

Creating Knowledge of Global Entanglements NICOLE SCHWABE

Why de-centering historical learning and promoting globally networked thinking in the classroom matters. Global historical approaches plead for the overcoming of national historical traditions. This goes hand in hand with the demand to consciously reflect the long suppressed category of space in historical research. While there are signs of amending within the scientific landscape in this respect, a national narrative continues to dominate in history education. The demand for de-centering historical learning provides ideas on how to promote globally networked thinking in the classroom with a view at history education in Germany.

NICOLE SCHWABE (BIELEFELD, GERMANY) studied history, social sciences and education for the teaching profession at Bielefeld University. As a research assistant, at the Center for Inter-American Studies (CIAS) at the Bielefeld University, she focuses her work on the transfer from Area Studies to Global Education and coordinates the CIAS teaching material series “Knowledge of Global Entanglements.”

The essays argue that the focus of analysis should not simply be on changes of government, but rather on long-term transformations which have an impact on temporal imaginaries in the hemisphere.

This study takes an Inter-American and transpacific look at historical processes of discrimination and exclusion of migrants in the Americas and the Spanish colonial Philippines that were based on racist and xenophobic prejudices. It focuses on pertinent migration policies and conjunctures of negotiation in various societies of the Americas while highlighting discriminatory dynamics in their diachronic dimension. Because Chinese immigrants were the first to experience these exclusionary practices and policies, the focus will be on this group in particular, keeping in mind that these dynamics affected other groups as well. By highlighting the correlation between mobility, liberalism, and ethnicity or ethnic adscription, the aim is to get a better understanding of the conjunctures of discrimination that immigrants who are considered “non-white” suffered and continue to suffer from today in what we might term the Asian century.

How the environment factors into the entangled histories of empire and colonialism.

How Argentinian National Parks operate—and why.

This study’s goal is to outline how environmental factors can be systematically included into the perspective of entangled histories. So far, the question of how access to natural resources, energy, land use systems and agricultural practices have influenced unequal relationships of power has largely remained confined to the field of environmental history, but does not belong to the established perspective on histories of empire and colonialism. The study combines the two conceptual perspectives of “environment-in-entanglement” and “practices of comparing” in order to broaden the approach to how (post-)colonial entanglements are researched historically.

The establishment of national parks in Argentina—the first ones in Latin America—takes place in a transnational space of entanglements. Park concepts in Argentina are influenced by a wide range of different approaches, from US–American Park politics, to French landscape architecture, and Prussian sustainable forestry to international debates on nature conservation. In Argentina, a position has prevailed that sees national parks as “real instruments of colonization.” Agricultural colonization and the expulsion of indigenous peoples, broad programs of urbanization and touristification of landscape as well as the massive processes of biological colonization by salmon, roe deer, and Douglas fir are integral elements of Argentine park politics. In this context between conservation and colonization, the book explores the following question: How do national parks operate?

WILFRIED RAUSSERT

Considers the key role music plays in reinventing “the social” throughout the Americas. This book begins with the premise that we are living in an age in which the social is in a continuous process of reinvention. It is also grounded in the assumption that music is a perennial key player in the processes of reinventing the social since music holds the power to stimulate and transport visions of change through its appeal to all human senses in the Americas and beyond the American hemisphere. Chapters address the intersection of music and identity politics, the role of music in social movements, music’s presence in commodity and tourist culture, music in the context of museum culture, music’s presence in literature and the visual arts, and music documentary as alternative sonic historiography.

Re-evaluating right-wing populism in the Americas. There is a two-fold aim in this book; first, to examine the logic and function of gender for (right-wing) populism in order to re-evaluate the phenomenon and expand the theorizing towards more complex forms of descriptions and analysis. Second, it seeks to sketch out spaces and practices of resistance that are also based on gendered politics (or, make resistance to anti-sexism their point of departure), such as the diverse feminist movements that are recently gaining strength and visibility.

Narratives of Guatemalan independent Pentecostal leaders working in Los Angeles.

An interdisciplinary collection of essays on hemispheric Inter-American Studies.

When one speaks of missionaries coming from countries like the United States, they are designated as “expatriates.” But what about Pentecostal believers who come from countries like Guatemala, without any institutional support? Are they expatriates or simply immigrants?

This collection of scholarly essays presents recent lines of research and results in the field of hemispheric Inter-American Studies. The book also opens new perspectives for future research.

To answer this question, biographical narratives of Guatemalan independent Pentecostal leaders working in Los Angeles, were analyzed using the Habitus Analysis approach.

The collection of essays brings together historical, film, literary, and cultural studies approaches to the Americas. Renowned scholars and young researchers make this book a cross-disciplinary anthology highly suitable for scholars and students.

The changing relationship between art practice and public space in the Americas.

Examines the literary representation of the movement of people and goods by the railway system across the Americas. This book explores how spatial displacement correlates to social immobility narratologically by carrying out a hermeneutic of literary trainscapes. Understood as the arrangement of the social and the mobile in the literary representation of movement of people and goods by the railway system across inter-American economies, the book focuses on narratives based at the Panama Canal Zone, across the Central American banana republics, and on the human caravan traversing Mexico towards the US border upon La Bestia.

Looking at three historically distinct conjunctures of artistic practice, this book claims public space for renegotiating art and community, art and politics, art and economy. This book investigates the changing relations between art practice and public space, between art and community, and between art and resistance in the Americas in the 1920s, 1960s, and the contemporary period. The book explores new visions of culture, community, and public space in the US and Latin America as they have emerged from artistic practice in public sites.

IMMIGRATION AS A PROCESS Temporality Concepts in Blogs of Latin American Immigrants to Québec BARBARA FRANK- JOB

Examines the forms, functions, and meanings of migrants’ temporality concepts. In their weblogs, immigrants from Latin America to Québec discuss the migration process in narrative reconstructions of personal experiences with the blogger community. During this collective work of meaning construction, various concepts of temporality play an essential role. Based on a large corpus of weblog posts and discussions and within the methodological frameworks of discourse analysis and interactional linguistics, this essay examines the forms, functions and meaning of the migrants’ temporality concepts.

This book renders visible the logic of religious and political entanglements between the Americas by tracing and interpreting exemplary developments and conflicts in a historical arc of suspense between two major religious events in 1916 and 2016. The author, in certain cases, does not shy away from an appropriate dose of polemics. The religious and political entanglements have changed; their explosive power remains.

IMPROVING OUTCOMES

edited by PATRICIA BIZZELL and LISA ZIMMERELLI

edited by DIANE KELLY-RILEY and NORBERT ELLIOT

Focuses on understanding political rhetoric aimed at social reform. In the nineteenth century the United States was ablaze with activism and reform: people of all races, creeds, classes, and genders engaged with diverse intellectual, social, and civic issues. This cutting-edge, revelatory book focuses on rhetoric that is overtly political and oriented to social reform. It not only contributes to our historical understanding of the period by covering a wide array of contexts—from letters, preaching, and speeches to labor organizing, protests, journalism, and theater by white and black women, indigenous people, and Chinese immigrants—but also relates conflicts over imperialism, colonialism, women’s rights, temperance, and slavery to today’s struggles over racial justice, sexual freedom, access to multimodal knowledge, and the unjust effects of sociopolitical hierarchies. The editors’ introduction traces recent scholarship on activist rhetorics and the turn in rhetorical theory toward the work of marginalized voices calling for radical social change. DECEMBER

Imagining new ways to improve student writing outcomes. Students thrive when they are exposed to a variety of disciplinary genres, and their lives—and our institutions—are enriched by improving their writing outcomes. This volume imagines new ways to improve writing outcomes by broadening the focus of assessment to wider issues of humanity and society. The essays—by contributors from diverse fields, from writing studies to nursing, engineering, and architecture—demonstrate innovative classroom practices and curricular design that place fairness and the situatedness of language at the center of writing instruction. Contributors reflect on a wide range of examples, from a disability-as-insight model to reckoning with postcolonial legacies, and the essays consider a variety of institutions, classrooms, and types of assessment, including culturally responsive assessment and peer feedback in digital environments.

Strategies for guiding students through Ezra Pound’s works while embracing the challenges they pose. Known for his maxim “make it new,” Ezra Pound played a principal role in shaping the modernist movement as a poet, translator, and literary critic. Yet readers grapple with his poetry’s complex structures and layered allusions and his known fascism, antiSemitism, and misogyny. This volume offers strategies for guiding students toward the rewards of Pound’s works while embracing the challenges they pose. The first section, “Materials,” catalogs the print and digital editions of Pound’s works, evaluates numerous secondary sources, and provides a history of Pound’s critical contexts. The essays in the second section, “Approaches,” address Pound’s aesthetics, persona, beliefs about economics, fascination with Asian culture, classical source materials, contributions to literary movements, and poetic techniques.

Helping instructors teach one of Jane Austen’s most challenging novels. Jane Austen is a favorite with many students, whether they’ve read her novels or viewed popular film adaptations. But Persuasion (1817), completed at the end of her life, can be challenging for students to approach. They are surprised to meet a heroine so subdued and self-sacrificing, and the novel’s setting during the Napoleonic Wars may be unfamiliar. This volume provides teachers with avenues to explore the depths and richness of the novel with both Austen fans and newcomers. Part 1, “Materials,” suggests editions for classroom use, criticism, and multimedia resources. Part 2, “Approaches,” presents strategies for teaching the literary, contextual, and philosophical dimensions of the novel. Essays address topics such as free indirect discourse and other narrative techniques; social class in Austen’s England; the role of the navy during war and peacetime; key locations in the novel, including Lyme Regis and Bath; and health, illness, and the ethics of care.

APPROACHES TO TEACHING THE WORKS OF CORMAC McCARTHY edited by STACEY PEEBLES and BENJAMIN WEST

Strategies for guiding students through the novels, plays, and screenplays of Cormac McCarthy. In the decades since his 1992 breakout novel, All the Pretty Horses, Cormac McCarthy has gained a reputation as one of the greatest contemporary American authors. Experimenting with genres such as the crime thriller, the post-apocalyptic novel, and the western, his work also engages with the aesthetics of cinema, and several of his novels have been adapted for the screen. While timely and relevant, his works’ idiosyncratic language and intense, troubling portrayals of racism, sexism, and violence can pose challenges for students.

Teaching Late-TwentiethCentury Mexicana and Chicana Writers edited by ELIZABETH COONROD MARTÍNEZ

Mexicana and Chicana authors from the late 1970s to the turn of the century helped overturn the patriarchal literary culture and mores of their time. This landmark volume acquaints readers with the provocative, at times defiant, yet subtle discourses of this important generation of writers and explains the influences and historical contexts that shaped their work.

Approaches to Teaching World Literature

Until now, little criticism has been published about these important works. Addressing this oversight, Teaching Late-Twentieth-Century Mexicana and Chicana Writers starts with essays on Mexicana and Chicana authors. It then features essays on specific teaching strategies suitable for literature surveys and courses in cultural studies, Latino studies, interdisciplinary and comparative studies, humanities, and general education that aim to explore the intersectionalities represented in these works. Experienced teachers offer guidance on using these works to introduce students to border studies, transnational studies, sexuality studies, disability studies, contemporary Mexican history and Latino history in the United States, the history of social movements, and race and gender.

As a young woman from a wealthy family, Eufrosine was expected to marry a nobleman. Instead, she wanted to serve God. So she cut her hair, dressed as a man, and traveled to a monastery, becoming a monk named Emerald. Adapted from a Latin source, this saint’s life dates to about 1200 CE. Devout yet erotic, lyrical yet didactic, it blends hagiography with romance and epic in order to engage and inspire a broad audience. The tale invites readers to rethink preconceived notions of the Middle Ages, the relation between spiritual and secular values, and ideas about the history of sexuality, identity, and family. Only fragments of the poem have been previously translated. This edition includes the first full translation alongside the Old French original as well as a glossary and other supporting material.

TEACHING MODERNIST WOMEN’S WRITING IN ENGLISH edited by JANINE UTELL

TEACHING ANGLOPHONE SOUTH ASIAN WOMEN WRITERS edited by DEEPIKA BAHRI and FILIPPO MENOZZI

Challenging the modernist literary cannon through the experimental writings of marginalized women. As authors and publishers, individuals and collectives, women significantly shaped the modernist movement. While figures such as Virginia Woolf and Gertrude Stein have received acclaim, authors from marginalized communities and those who wrote for mass, middlebrow audiences also created experimental and groundbreaking work. The essays in this volume explore formal aspects and thematic concerns of modernism while also challenging rigid notions of what constitutes literary value as well as the idea of a canon with fixed boundaries.

Helping students understand what it means to study anglophone South Asian women’s writing. Global and cosmopolitan since the late nineteenth century, anglophone South Asian women’s writing has flourished in many genres and locations, encompassing diverse works linked by issues of language, geography, history, culture, gender, and literary tradition. Whether writing in the homeland or in the diaspora, authors offer representations of social struggle and inequality while articulating possibilities for resistance.

The essays contextualize modernist women’s writing in the material and political concerns of the early twentieth century and in life on the home front during wartime. They consider the original print contexts of the works and propose fresh digital approaches for courses ranging from high school through graduate school. Suggested assignments provide opportunities for students to write creatively and critically, recover forgotten literary works, and engage with their communities.

In this volume experienced instructors attend to the style and aesthetics of the texts as well as provide necessary background for students. Essays address historical and political contexts, including colonialism, partition, migration, ecological concerns, and evolving gender roles, and consider both traditional and contemporary genres such as graphic novels, chick lit, and Instapoetry. Presenting ideas for courses in Asian studies, women’s studies, postcolonial literature, and world literature, this book asks broadly what it means to study anglophone South Asian women’s writing in the United States, Asia, and around the world.

Don Catrín de la Fachenda in the original Spanish. Don Catrín de la Fachenda is a picaresque novel by the Mexican writer José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi (1776–1827), best known as the author of El periquillo sarniento (The Itching Parrot), often called the first Latin American novel.

Don Catrín de la Fachenda, here translated into English for the first time, is a picaresque novel by the Mexican writer José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi (1776–1827), best known as the author of El periquillo sarniento (The Itching Parrot), often called the first Latin American novel.

Don Catrín is three things at once: a rakish pícaro in the tradition of the picaresque; a catrín, a dandy or fop; and a criollo, a person born in the New World and belonging to the same dominant class as their Spanish-born parents but relegated to a secondary status. The novel interrogates then current ideas about the supposed innateness of race and caste and plays with other aspects of the self-considered more extrinsic, such as appearance and social disguise. While not directly mentioning the Mexican wars of independence, Don Catrín offers a vivid representation of the political and social frictions that burst into violence around 1810 and gave birth to the independent countries of Latin America.

YOU LOOK GOOD FOR YOUR AGE An Anthology

With wit and wisdom, women writers challenge ageism through essays, short stories, and poetry.

RONA ALTROWS, editor You Look Good for Your Age is a collection of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry about ageism by 29 women writers ranging in age from their forties to their nineties. The anthology responds to a culture that values youth and that positions aging in women as a failure. Questions arise. What effects do negative social assumptions have on women as they age? What messages about aging do we pass on to our daughters? The collection includes personal essays, short stories, poetry, and hybrid pieces, and ranges in tone from serious to whimsical to satirical to angry.

BIOGRAPHY and AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Personal story of a Palestinian woman, teacher, and activist, from before and after the Nakba.

LIGHT THE ROAD OF FREEDOM SAHBAA AL-BARBARI GHADA AGEEL and BARBARA BILL, editors Sahbaa Al-Barbari’s story provides a unique perspective on Palestinian experience before and after the 1948 Nakba. Born in Gaza, Al-Barbari began her career as a school teacher and was an activist in her community. When Israel occupied the Gaza Strip in 1967, Al-Barbari was exiled from Palestine, continuing her activism as she lived in Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Cyprus, Kuwait, Tunis, Libya, and Europe. Al-Barbari returned to Gaza in 1996. This is the second book in the Women’s Voices from Gaza Series, which honours women’s unique and underrepresented perspectives on the social, material, and political realities of Palestinian life. The books in this series will benefit Middle East scholars, social justice and human rights advocates, and all who want to know more about the modern history of Palestine.

“Through the oral histories of Palestinian women who have lived, witnessed, and built lives and futures for their families and communities—in the face of devastating force and continuing injustices—we learn Palestinian History through the intimate daily ways individuals have lived and made it.”—Lila Abu-Lughod, Joseph L. Buttenwieser Professor of Social Science, Columbia University “Ghada Ageel, a Gazan, and Barbara Bill have ably used oral history to bring readers the lived reality of women of different backgrounds, ages, and occupations.”—Rosemary Sayigh, anthropologist and oral historian Women’s Voices from Gaza Series

A SHORT HISTORY OF THE BLOCKADE Giant Beavers, Diplomacy, and Regeneration in Nishnaabewin LEANNE BETASAMOSAKE SIMPSON

introduction by Jordan Abel Simpson deepens our understanding of Indigenous resistance.

Transnational perspectives on Black men as objects of sexual desire, fear, and loathing. This collection invites us to think about how African-descended men are seen as both appealing and appalling, and exposed to eroticized hatred and violence and how some resist, accommodate, and capitalize on their eroticization. Drawing on James Baldwin and Frantz Fanon, the contributors examine the contradictions, paradoxes, and politico-psychosexual implications of Black men as objects of sexual desire, fear, and loathing. This innovative and sophisticated work will be of interest to scholars and students of cultural and media studies, gender and masculinities studies, sociology, political science, history, and critical race and racialization.

Award-winning writer Leanne Betasamosake Simpson uses Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg stories, storytelling aesthetics, and practices to explore the generative nature of Indigenous blockades through our relative, the beaver—or in Nishnaabemowin, Amik. Moving through genres, shifting through time, amikwag stories become a lens for the life-giving possibilities of dams and the world-building possibilities of blockades, deepening our understanding of Indigenous resistance, as both a negation and an affirmation. Widely recognized as one of the most compelling Indigenous voices of her generation, Simpson’s work breaks open the intersections between politics, story, and song, bringing audiences into a rich and layered world of sound, light, and sovereign creativity.

AIDAN CHAFE

JENNIFER BOWERING DELISLE

A poet’s struggle for identity and salvation in the face of religious dogma and alcoholism.

A poignant, lyrical meditation on longing, place, embodiment, and ultimately, the miracle of life.

Aidan Chafe’s Gospel Drunk is a personal journey to find clarity and identity in the face of alcoholism and religion. Sharp, intoxicating imagery and a gutsy, minimalist aesthetic combine in these poems to explore some of our darkest and strongest belief systems, dismantling them with wit and wisdom. An impressive mix of tightly-crafted lyric and prose poetry touch on content that ranges from poignant boyhood memories of hockey coaches as “dragons in suits” to critiques of what the poet calls “the broken bicycle of recovery.” Chafe’s own struggle with loneliness and alcohol addiction gave life to these poems, along with his search for identity as a young man growing up in a Catholic household. Unflinchingly honest in its interrogation of religious dogma, white privilege, and violence, Gospel Drunk is for all who seek salvation and humanity in a world where the personal and the political are equally complicated.

Deriving explores infertility, motherhood, and family, while troubling the colonial legacies of the English language and Canadian identity. A feminist exploration of ancestral and etymological origins, Jennifer Bowering Delisle’s critical collection asks how does language impact our ways of being in the world? How do historical voices echo in the present? How does past infertility colour the experience of new motherhood? Within these poems, the rich material of mothering is embraced with unapologetic honesty, confronting the erasure of experiences that some would keep hidden. Fear, anger, envy mixes with joy and ultimately hope, as the challenges of conceiving and raising children in both familial and global contexts are explored. Deriving is a poignant, lyrical meditation on longing, place, embodiment, and ultimately, the miracle of life.

THE BAD WIFE MICHELINE MAYLOR

An intimate, first-hand account of how to ruin a marriage. Micheline Maylor’s The Bad Wife is an intimate, first-hand account of how to ruin a marriage. This is a story of divorce, love, and what should have been, told in a brave and unflinching voice. Pulling the reader into a startling web of sensuality, guilt, resentment, and pleasure, this collection asks what if you set off a bomb in your own house? What if you lose love and destroy everything you ever knew? These poems have a disarming immediacy, full of surprising imagery, dark humour, and the bold thoughts of a vibrant and flawed protagonist. Balancing a need for wildness and the space to dwell, The Bad Wife explores the taut confines of those vivid, earthly pleasures that we all know and sometimes can’t escape.

HISTORY

CENTRAL EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY PRESS How the communist regime in Bulgaria determined people’s everyday food.

COMMUNIST GOURMET The Curious History of Food in the People’s Republic of Bulgaria ALBENA SHKODROVA Communist Gourmet presents a lively, detailed account of how the communist regime in Bulgaria determined people’s everyday food experience between 1944 and 1989. It examines the daily routines of acquiring food, cooking it, and eating out at restaurants through the memories of Bulgarians and foreigners, during communism. In looking back on a wide array of issues and events, Albena Shkodrova attempts to explain the paradoxes of daily existence. She reports stories from nearly 100 people that are touching, sometimes dark, but often full of humor and anecdote. Some of them are Bulgarians who were involved in the communist food industry, whether as consumers or employees, while others are visitors from the United States and Western Europe who report culinary highlights and disappointments. The author made use of the national press, officially published cookbooks, Communist Party documents, and other previously unstudied sources. Illustrated recipes of dishes typical of the period and an extensive set of archival photographs are special features of the volume.

HISTORY

A SPECTRUM OF UNFREEDOM

Gives voice to the captives and slaves whose labor underpinned the success and strength of the Ottoman Empire.

Captives and Slaves in the Ottoman Empire LESLIE PEIRCE Without the labor of captives and slaves, the Ottoman Empire could not have attained and maintained its strength in early modern times. With Anatolia as the geographic focus, Leslie Peirce searches for the voices of the unfree, drawing on archives, histories written at the time, and legal texts. Unfree persons comprised two general populations: slaves and captives. Mostly household workers, slaves lived in a variety of circumstances, from squalor to luxury. Their duties varied with the status of their owner. Slave status might not last a lifetime, as Islamic law and Ottoman practice endorsed freeing one’s slave. Captives were typically seized in raids, generally to disappear, their fates unknown. Victims rarely returned home, despite efforts of their families and neighbors to recover them. The reader learns what it was about the Ottoman environment of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that offered some captives the opportunity to improve the conditions of their bondage. The book describes imperial efforts to fight against the menace of captive-taking despite the widespread corruption among the state’s own officials, who had their own interest in captive labor. From the fortunes of captives and slaves the book moves to their representation in legend, historical literature, and law, where, fortunately, both captors and their prey are present.

JO HARPER

edited by KATARZYNA CHMIELEWSKA,

A remarkable account of Poland’s political transition after the Revolutions of 1989. Written by a Brit who has lived in Poland for more than twenty years, this book challenges some accepted thinking in the West about Poland and about the rise of Law and Justice (PiS) as the ruling party in 2015. It is a remarkable account of the Polish post-1989 transition and contemporary politics, combining personal views and experience with careful fact and material collections. The result is a vivid description of the events and scrupulous explanations of the political processes, and all this with an interesting twist—a perspective of a foreigner and insider at the same time. A special feature of the book is the detailed examination of the coverage of the Poland’s latest two elections, one in 2019 (parliamentary) and the other in 2020 (presidential) in the British media, an insightful and witty specimen of comparative cultural and political analysis.

A nuanced view of the communist regimes in east-central Europe. The thirteen authors of this collective work to articulate matter-of-fact critiques of the dominant narrative about communism in Poland while offering new analyses of the concept, and also examining the manifestations of anticommunism. Approaching communist ideas and practices, programs and their implementations, as an inseparable whole, they examine the issues of emancipation, upward social mobility, and changes in the cultural canon. The authors refuse to treat communism in Poland in simplistic categories of totalitarianism, absolute evil, and Soviet colonization, and similarly refuse to equate communism and fascism. The book is interdisciplinary and applies the tools of social history, intellectual history, political philosophy, anthropology, literature, cultural studies, and gender studies to provide a nuanced view of the communist regimes in east-central Europe.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF COMMUNIST EXPERIMENTS

THE ANATOMY OF POST-COMMUNIST REGIMES

edited by VLADIMIR TISMANEANU and JORDAN LUBER

A Conceptual Framework

Why communism’s promise of freedom and social justice for all resulted in terror and lies. Why has communism’s humanist quest for freedom and social justice without exception resulted in a reign of terror and lies? The authors of these nineteen essays address this question covering the one hundred years since Lenin’s coup brought the first communist regime to power in November 1917. The first part of the volume is dedicated to the varieties of communist fantasies of salvation, and the remaining three consider how communist experiments over many different times and regions attempted to manage economics, politics, as well as society and culture. Although each communist project was adapted to the country where it operated, this volume finds that because of its ideological nature, communism had a consistent penchant for totalitarianism in all of its manifestations.

ANDREW KILPATRICK

The inside story of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. After the Berlin Wall tells the inside story of an international financial institution, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), created in the aftermath of communism to help the countries of central and eastern Europe transition towards open market-oriented democratic economies. The first volume of a history in two parts, After the Berlin Wall charts the EBRD’s life from a fledgling high-risk start-up investing in former socialist countries from 1991 to become an established member of the international financial community, which (as of April 2020) operates in almost 40 countries across three continents. This volume describes the multilateral negotiations that created this cosmopolitan institution with a “European character” and the emergence of the EBRD’s unique business model: a focus on the private sector and a mission to deliver development impact with sustainable financial returns.

ANDREW KILPATRICK The second volume of the history of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) takes up the story of how the Bank has become an indispensable part of the international financial architecture. It tracks the rollercoaster ride during this period, including the Bank’s crucial coordinating role in response to global and regional crises, the calls for its presence as an investor in Turkey, the Middle East, and North Africa, and later Greece and Cyprus, as well as the consequences of conflicts within its original region. It shows how in face of the growing threat of global warming the EBRD, working mainly with the private sector, developed a sustainable energy business model to tackle climate change. Transforming Markets also examines how the EBRD broadened its investment criteria, arguing that transition towards sustainable economies requires market qualities that are not only competitive and integrated but which are also resilient, well-governed, green, and more inclusive.

Ordinary lives in extraordinary times as recorded in the archives of a multi-generational family of lawyers. Three generations of a family of lawyers have run a firm founded in 1893 in the small city of Becskerek (today in Serbian Zrenjanin), first part of the Austro-Hungarian Habsburg monarchy, then Hungary, then Yugoslavia, then for a while under German occupation, then again part of Yugoslavia, and finally Serbia. What is practically unprecedented, all files, folders, and documents of the law office have survived. They concern marriages, divorces, births and testaments, as well as expulsions, emigrations, incarcerations, and releases of these largely rural and small-town dwellers. Mundane cases reflect times through war, peace, revolution, and counter-revolution, through serfdom and freedom, through comfort and poverty. Tibor Várady transforms them into affecting and vivid vignettes, selecting and commenting without sentimentality but with empathy.

VICTOR TAKI

The strategic partnership of Russia and two Romanian principalities on the border of the Ottoman Empire One of the goals of Russia’s Eastern policy was to turn Moldavia and Wallachia, the two Romanian principalities north of the Danube, from Ottoman vassals into a controllable buffer zone and a springboard for future military operations against Constantinople. Russia on the Danube describes the divergent interests and uneasy cooperation between the Russian officials and the Moldavian and Wallachian nobility in a key period between 1812 and 1834. The main conclusion of the book is that although Russian policy was driven by self-interest, and despite the Russophobia among a great part of the Romanian intellectuals, this turbulent period significantly contributed to the emergence, several decades later, of modern Romania.

An account of Ireland’s aid to continental Europe after WWII. Post-war Marshall Plan aid to Europe and indeed Ireland is well documented, but practically nothing is known about simultaneous Irish aid to Europe. This book provides a full record of the aid— mainly food but also clothes, blankets, medicines, etc.—that Ireland donated to continental Europe, including France, the Netherlands, Hungary, the Balkans, Italy, and zones of occupied Germany.

Starting with Ireland’s neutral wartime record, often wrongly presented as pro-German when Ireland in fact unofficially favoured the western Allies, Jérôme aan de Wiel explains why Éamon de Valera’s government sent humanitarian aid to the devastated continent. Despite some alleged Cold-War hijacking of Irish relief—and this humanitarianism was not above the

The literary scholar Alfrun Kliems explores the aesthetic strategies of Eastern European underground literature, art, film, and music in the decades before and after the fall of communism, ranging from the “father” of Prague Underground, Egon Bondy, to the neo-dada Club of Polish Losers in Berlin. The works she considers are “underground” in the sense that they were produced illegally, or were received as subversive after the regimes had fallen. Her study challenges common notions of “Underground” as an umbrella term for nonconformism. Rather, it depicts it as a sociopoetic reflection of modernity, intimately linked to urban settings, with tropes and aesthetic procedures related to Surrealism, Dadaism, Expressionism, and, above all, pop and counterculture.

UP IN THE AIR? The Future of Public Service Media in the Western Balkans edited by TARIK JUSIĆ, MANUEL PUPPIS, LAIA CASTRO HERRERO, and DAVOR MARKO The agenda for transition after the demise of communism in the Western Balkans made the conversion of state radio and television into public service broadcasters a priority, converting mouthpieces of the regime into public forums in which various interests and standpoints could be shared and deliberated. Formally, the countries adopted the legal and institutional requirements of public service media according to European standards. The ruling political elites, however, retained their control over the public media by various means. Can this trend be reversed? Instead of being marginalized or totally manipulated, can public service media become vehicles of genuine democratization?
