The Last Beach<br />
orrin h. pilkey & j. andrew g. cooper<br />
general interest<br />
Orrin H. Pilkey and J. Andrew G. Cooper<br />
the last beach<br />
The Last Beach is an urgent call to save<br />
the world’s beaches while there is still<br />
time. The geologists Orrin H. Pilkey and<br />
J. Andrew G. Cooper sound the alarm in<br />
this frank assessment of our current<br />
relationship with beaches and the grim<br />
future if we do not change the way we<br />
understand and treat our irreplaceable<br />
shores. Combining case studies and<br />
anecdotes from around the world, they<br />
argue that many of the world’s developed<br />
beaches, including some in Florida and<br />
in Spain, are virtually doomed and that<br />
we must act immediately to save imperiled<br />
beaches.<br />
After explaining beaches as dynamic ecosystems, Pilkey and Cooper assess<br />
the harm done by dense oceanfront development, accompanied by the<br />
construction of massive seawalls to protect new buildings from a shoreline<br />
that encroaches as sea levels rise. They discuss the toll taken by sand mining,<br />
trash that washes up on beaches, and pollution, which has contaminated<br />
not only the water but also, surprisingly, the sand. Acknowledging the<br />
challenge of reconciling our actions with our love of beaches, the geologists<br />
offer suggestions for reversing course, insisting that given the space,<br />
beaches can take care of themselves and provide us with multiple benefits.<br />
Orrin H. Pilkey, deemed “America’s<br />
foremost philosopher of the beaches,”<br />
by the New York Times, is James B.<br />
Duke Professor Emeritus of Geology at<br />
the Nicholas School of the Environment<br />
at Duke University, and Founder and<br />
Director Emeritus of the Program for the<br />
Study of Developed Shorelines, based at Western Carolina<br />
University. Pilkey is a coauthor (with Keith C. Pilkey)<br />

for his advocacy of nonintervention on shorelines and<br />
his work on beaches and coasts worldwide, Cooper lives<br />
in the town of Coleraine in Northern Ireland.<br />
“We’re all used to lying on beaches and zoning out—but it turns out that if we want<br />
those beaches to be there much longer we better stand up and make our voices<br />
heard. This is fascinating new information about one of the planet’s most beloved<br />
ecosystems.”—BILL MCKIBBEN, author of Wandering Home: A Long Walk Across<br />
America’s Most Hopeful Landscape<br />
also by Orrin H. Pilkey<br />
“The Last Beach is a must-read for anyone interested in the plight of the world’s<br />
beaches. This brave confrontation with coastal engineers, coastal planners, developers,<br />
politicians, and beachfront property owners lays bare their adverse impact on the<br />
world’s beaches.”—ANDREW SHORT, School of Geosciences, University of Sydney<br />

My Tibetan Childhood<br />
When Ice Shattered Stone<br />
naktsang nulo<br />
Translation edited and abridged by Angus Cargill<br />
With a Foreword by Ralph Litzinger<br />
and an Introduction by Robert Barnett<br />
Naktsang Nulo (born in 1949) worked as an official<br />
in the Chinese government, serving as a primary<br />
school teacher, police officer, judge, prison governor,<br />
and county leader in Qinghai province, China,<br />
before retiring in 1993. Angus Cargill was formerly<br />
a Lecturer in the Department of Tibetan Language<br />
and Literature at Minzu University of China, Beijing.<br />
Ralph A. Litzinger is the author of Other Chinas:<br />
The Yao and the Politics of National Belonging.<br />
Robert Barnett is the Director of Modern Tibetan<br />
Studies at Columbia University and the author of<br />
Lhasa: Streets with Memories.<br />
“Equipped with a superbly comprehensive introduction,<br />
this absorbing memoir of nomadic life in the 1950s takes<br />
us deep into a Tibetan world neglected by both official<br />
Chinese histories and narratives by Tibetans in exile.<br />
Few books on Tibet have been as revelatory as this<br />
one.”—PANKAJ MISHRA, author of From the Ruins of<br />
Empire: The Revolt Against the West and the Remaking<br />
of Asia<br />
In My Tibetan Childhood, Naktsang Nulo<br />
chronicles his life in Tibet’s Amdo region<br />
during the 1950s. Recalling events as he<br />
experienced them at the age of ten, he<br />
describes his upbringing as a nomad on<br />
the grasslands of Tibet’s eastern plateau.<br />
He depicts pilgrimages to monasteries,<br />
including a 1500-mile horseback expedition<br />
his family made to Lhasa. A year or so<br />
later, they attempted to flee by the same<br />
route as troops of the People’s Liberation<br />
Army advanced into their area. Naktsang’s<br />
father was killed in the fighting that<br />
ensued, part of a little-known wave of<br />
unrest that took place throughout Amdo<br />
in 1958, as Tibetans rose up against the imposition of social and religious<br />
reforms by the Chinese forces. During the next year, the author and his brother<br />
were imprisoned in a camp where, after the onset of famine, very few children<br />
survived.<br />
The narrative reveals, through the eyes of a child, the lived experience of the<br />
forced and violent incorporation of the Tibetan heartlands into the People’s<br />
Republic by Chinese troops in the 1950s. The author’s matter-of-fact accounts<br />
cast the atrocities that he relays in stark relief. Remarkably, Naktsang lived<br />
to tell his tale. His book was published in 2007 in China, where tens of<br />
thousands of unofficial copies are believed to have circulated. It is one of<br />
the most reprinted works in modern Tibetan literature. This translation offers<br />
rare insight into a fascinating, painful period of modern Tibetan history.<br />
“With little comment or condemnation, [My Tibetan Childhood] records the price paid<br />
in lives and lifestyles by the author’s family and community for their incorporation into<br />
modern China. . . . In many senses, it is a naive story, the chronicle of a world seen through<br />
a child’s eyes. But to readers within Tibet, it was a revelation. It told of epochal events<br />
that had rarely if ever been described before in print.”—ROBERT BARNETT, from the<br />
introduction<br />

What Animals<br />
Teach Us about Politics<br />
brian massumi<br />
BRIAN MASSUMI<br />
What<br />
Animals<br />
Teach Us<br />
about<br />
Politics<br />
In What Animals Teach Us about Politics,<br />
Brian Massumi takes up the question<br />
of “the animal.” By treating the human<br />
as animal, he develops a concept of an<br />
animal politics. His is not a human politics<br />
of the animal, but an integrally animal<br />
politics, freed from connotations of the<br />
“primitive” state of nature and the accompanying<br />
presuppositions about instinct<br />
permeating modern thought. Massumi<br />
integrates notions marginalized by the<br />
dominant currents in evolutionary biology,<br />
animal behavior, and philosophy—notions<br />
such as play, sympathy, and creativity—<br />
into the concept of nature. As he does<br />
so, his inquiry necessarily expands, encompassing not only animal behavior<br />
but also animal thought and its distance from, or proximity to, those capacities<br />
over which human animals claim a monopoly: language and reflexive<br />
consciousness.<br />
For Massumi, humans and animals exist on a continuum. Understanding that<br />
continuum, while accounting for difference, requires a new logic of “mutual<br />
inclusion.” Massumi finds the conceptual resources for this logic in the work<br />
of thinkers including Gregory Bateson, Henri Bergson, Gilbert Simondon, and<br />
Raymond Ruyer. This concise book intervenes in Deleuze studies, posthumanism,<br />
and animal studies, as well as areas of study as wide-ranging as affect<br />
theory, aesthetics, embodied cognition, political theory, process philosophy,<br />
the theory of play, and the thought of Alfred North Whitehead.<br />
Brian Massumi is Professor in the Communication<br />
Department at the University of Montreal. He is the<br />
author of Semblance and Event: Activist Philosophy<br />
and the Occurrent Arts and Parables for the Virtual:<br />
Movement, Affect, Sensation, which is also published<br />
by Duke University Press.<br />
“This is a truly brilliant book, one of Brian Massumi’s best.<br />
More than anyone else I have read, Massumi makes<br />
real progress in untangling the relationship between play,<br />
sympathy, politics, and animality. What Animals Teach Us<br />
about Politics provides a fascinating and persuasively nonsubject-centered<br />
account of sympathy, and it goes a long<br />
way toward helping us to see how the practice and theorization<br />
of ‘politics’ would be radically refigured within a processontology.”—JANE<br />
BENNETT, author of Vibrant Matter:<br />
A Political Ecology of Things<br />
“In a remarkable work of speculative thought, Brian Massumi<br />
reimagines what politics can be when we ramify the<br />
importance of play—its excesses, surpluses, and transformative<br />
energies—and how it intimately binds human beings to<br />
other forms of life. This is not the ‘animal,’ and the ‘politics,’<br />
you thought you knew.”—CARY WOLFE, author of Before<br />

On The Wire<br />
linda williams<br />
Linda Williams is Professor of<br />
Film Studies and Rhetoric at the<br />
University of California, Berkeley.<br />
Her books include Screening<br />
Sex and Porn Studies, both also<br />
published by Duke University Press;<br />
Playing the Race Card: Melodramas<br />
of Black and White from Uncle Tom<br />
to O. J. Simpson; Viewing Positions: Ways of Seeing<br />
Film; and Hard Core: Power, Pleasure, and the “Frenzy<br />
of the Visible.” In 2013, Williams received a Lifetime<br />
Achievement Award from the Society for Cinema and<br />
Media Studies.<br />
“I must admit initially being skeptical of Linda Williams’s<br />
thesis that The Wire is best understood as melodrama.<br />
But after reading her convincing and compelling analysis,<br />
I not only came away with new insights into a series<br />
that I knew very well, but have fully revised my notions<br />
of how serial melodrama applies to contemporary television.<br />
This vital book is essential reading for scholars<br />
and viewers of both The Wire and television drama<br />
more broadly.”—JASON MITTELL, author of Television<br />
and American Culture<br />
“Linda Williams’s kaleidoscopic study compellingly<br />
considers The Wire as art, as rhetoric, and as political<br />
intervention. Her absorbing argument for the series<br />
as ‘institutional melodrama’ upends conventional<br />
discussions not only about this narrative but about<br />
the broader practice of contemporary television drama.<br />
We understand The Wire not as tragedy, not as a novel,<br />
not as a piece of journalism; rather, we see and feel<br />
the show at the intersection of home and the world,<br />
as the orange couch in the courtyard of the low rises.”<br />
—SEAN O’SULLIVAN, author of Mike Leigh<br />
Many television critics, legions<br />
of fans, even the President of the<br />
United States, have cited The Wire<br />
as the best television series ever.<br />
On The Wire<br />
In this sophisticated examination of<br />
the HBO serial drama that aired from<br />
2002 until 2008, Linda Williams,<br />
a leading film scholar and authority<br />
on the interplay between film, melodrama,<br />
and issues of race, suggests<br />
what exactly it is that makes The<br />
Wire so good. She argues that while<br />
the series is a powerful exploration<br />
of urban dysfunction and institutional<br />
failure, its narrative power<br />
LINDA WILLIAMS<br />
derives from its genre. The Wire is<br />
popular melodrama, not Greek tragedy, as critics and the series creator David<br />
Simon have claimed. Entertaining, addictive, funny, and despairing all at once,<br />
it is a serial melodrama grounded in observation of Baltimore’s people and<br />
institutions: of cops and criminals, schools and blue-collar labor, local government<br />
and local journalism. The Wire transforms close observation into an<br />
unparalleled melodrama by juxtaposing the good and evil of individuals with<br />
the good and evil of institutions.<br />

Postcolonial Modernism<br />
Art and Decolonization in Twentieth-Century Nigeria<br />

Chika Okeke-a gulu<br />
Written by one of the foremost<br />
scholars of African art and<br />
featuring over 125 color images,<br />
Postcolonial Modernism chronicles<br />
the emergence of artistic<br />
modernism in Nigeria in the<br />
heady years surrounding political<br />
independence in 1960, before<br />
the outbreak of civil war in 1967.<br />
Chika Okeke-Agulu traces the<br />
artistic, intellectual, and critical<br />
networks in several Nigerian<br />
cities. Zaria is particularly important,<br />
because it was there, at the<br />
Nigerian College of Arts, Science<br />
and Technology, that a group of<br />
students formed the Art Society<br />
and inaugurated “postcolonial modernism” in Nigeria. As Okeke-Agulu explains,<br />
their works show both a deep connection with local artistic traditions and the<br />
stylistic sophistication that we have come to associate with twentieth-century<br />
modernist practices. He explores how these young Nigerian artists were<br />
inspired by the rhetoric and ideologies of decolonization and nationalism in<br />
the early- and mid-twentieth century and, later, by advocates of negritude<br />
and pan-Africanism. They translated the experiences of decolonization into<br />
a distinctive “postcolonial modernism” that has continued to inform the work<br />
of major Nigerian artists.<br />
Chika Okeke-Agulu is an<br />

of Nka: Journal of Contemporary African Art, also published<br />
by Duke University Press.<br />
“With this impressive book, Chika Okeke-Agulu has written<br />
an expansive, incisive, and dazzling account of the production<br />
of a new spirit of postcolonial artistic modernity in Nigeria<br />
at the denouement of colonialism in the 1950s. Postcolonial<br />
Modernism: Art and Decolonization in Twentieth-Century<br />
Nigeria is perhaps the most important book of its kind<br />
to appear in years. In succinct and lucid language, and on<br />
lavishly illustrated pages, it offers a vigorous analysis of the<br />
artistic forces that lend a new understanding of the complex<br />
formations of global art history.”—OKWUI ENWEZOR,<br />
Director, Haus der Kunst, Munich<br />
“In this work of prodigious scholarship, Chika Okeke-Agulu draws on a trove of previously<br />
unexamined archival resources and he subjects the artistic and literary production<br />
of Nigeria’s pioneer modernists to critical analysis. Redirecting our understanding<br />
of the modern art movement in Nigeria, his book will interest a broad range of<br />
scholars, including those studying comparative modernism, global art, visual culture,<br />
history, and literature. This groundbreaking work affirms Okeke-Agulu as a rigorous<br />

Selected Writings<br />
renée green<br />
Renée Green is an artist, writer, and filmmaker.<br />
Her exhibitions, videos, and films have been seen<br />
throughout the world in museums, biennales,<br />
and festivals. A selection of her books includes<br />
Endless Dreams and Time-Based Streams, Ongoing<br />
Becomings, Between and Including, Shadows and<br />
Signals, and, as editor, Negotiations in the Contact<br />
Zone. Green’s essays and fiction have appeared in<br />
magazines and journals such as Transition, October,<br />
and Collapse. She is also a Professor at the MIT<br />
Program in Art, Culture and Technology, School<br />
of Architecture and Planning.<br />
“More than a collection of an artist’s writings, Other<br />
Planes of There is also a rigorous meditation on the<br />
question of why artists are compelled to write. Along<br />
the way, almost incidentally as it were, readers are<br />
offered a self-conscious survey of the most advanced<br />
thinking in the artistic practice of an artist who not<br />
only dares to represent herself but also to put herself<br />
forward, in that representation, as representative.”<br />
—FRED MOTEN, author of In the Break: The Aesthetics<br />
of the Black Radical Tradition and B Jenkins<br />
“Renée Green’s far-reaching social and political interests<br />
have led her into taking on the roles of artist-curatorarchivist-historian-exhibition<br />
designer—and, perhaps<br />
most unusual, adventuress-traveler. As indefatigable<br />
explorer of circuits of ideas, objects, geographies,<br />
histories, and categories, as challenger of historical<br />
and cultural boundaries, she has accrued an extraordinary<br />
body of work across at least four continents.<br />
This remarkable selection of essays bears vivid witness<br />
to the range of her ideas, the reach of her curiosity,<br />
and her generosity and acuity of intellect.”—YVONNE<br />

OTHER PLANES OF THERE<br />
Selected Writings | RENÉE GREEN<br />
For more than two decades, the artist<br />
Renée Green has created an impressive<br />
body of work in which language is an<br />
essential element. Green is also a prolific<br />
writer and a major voice in the international<br />
art world. Other Planes of There<br />
gathers for the first time a substantial<br />
collection of the work she wrote between<br />
1981 and 2010. The selected essays<br />
initially appeared in publications in different<br />
countries and languages, making their<br />
availability in this volume a boon to those<br />
wanting to follow Green’s artistic and<br />
intellectual trajectory.<br />
Charting this cosmopolitan artist’s thinking<br />
through the decades, Other Planes of There brings essays, film scripts, reviews,<br />
and polemics together with reflections on Green’s own artistic practice and<br />
seminal artworks. It immerses the reader in three decades of contemporary art<br />
showcasing the art and thought, the incisive critiques, and prescient observations<br />
of one of our foremost artists and intellectuals. Sound, cinema, literature,<br />
time-based media, and the relationship between art forms and other forms of<br />
knowledge are just a few of the matters that Green takes up and thinks through.<br />
Featuring a new visual essay created by the artist for this volume, Other Planes<br />
of There is lavishly illustrated with 290 illustrations (with nearly 250 in color).<br />
“The publication of Other Planes of There is a major intellectual event. Given Renée<br />
Green’s stature and influence, both in the United States and abroad, her writing can<br />
be surprisingly hard to track down. This volume will be an essential reference point<br />
for anyone invested in critical practice of the last three decades and the shape of things<br />
to come. We need this book.”—HUEY COPELAND, author of Bound to Appear: Art,<br />

Interdisciplinary in design and concept, Speculation, Now illuminates<br />
unexpected convergences between images, concepts, and language. Artwork<br />
is interspersed among essays that approach speculation and progressive<br />
change from surprising perspectives. A radical cartographer asks whether “the<br />
speculative” can be represented on a map. An ethnographer investigates religious<br />
possession in Islam to contemplate states between the divine and the<br />
seemingly human. A financial technologist queries understandings of speculation<br />
in financial markets. A multimedia artist and activist considers the relation<br />
between social change and assumptions about the conditions to be changed,<br />
and an architect posits purposeful neglect as political strategy. The book<br />
includes an extensive glossary with more than twenty short entries in which<br />
scholars contemplate such speculation-related notions as insurance, hallucination,<br />
prophecy, the paradox of beginnings, and states of half-knowledge. The<br />
book’s artful, nonlinear design mirrors and reinforces the notion of contingency<br />
that animates it. By embracing speculation substantively, stylistically, seriously,<br />
and playfully, Speculation, Now reveals its subversive and critical potential.<br />
“Speculation can only occur in the course of action, in the<br />
heat of practice, in the thick of experience. It is immanent<br />
critique, insofar as it does not seek to distance itself from<br />
experience but rather to intervene . . . through a particular<br />
form of disciplined action. Hannah Arendt famously distinguished<br />
action from behavior, by remarking that genuine<br />
action begins something new in the world. So does speculation,<br />
as the many projects, art works, and arguments in this<br />
book so vividly illustrate.”—ARJUN APPADURAI, from the<br />

“My Father’s House is a genuine and rare accomplishment.<br />
Art criticism is often at its best when, rather than<br />
dissecting objects, it follows their rhythms, twists, and<br />
turns. Thomas Dumm does just that. One of this book’s<br />
many strengths is the variety of ways that he evocatively<br />
relates the experience of Will Barnet’s paintings. Another<br />
is the magnificent introduction, which brings Emerson,<br />
Melville, Cavell, and others into conversation with the<br />
spirit of Barnet’s work and with Barnet himself.”—TOM<br />
HUHN, author of Imitation and Society: The Persistence<br />
of Mimesis in the Aesthetics of Burke, Hogarth, and Kant<br />
“In this beautiful book, Thomas Dumm invents a new<br />
genre of writing, neither art criticism nor memoir nor<br />
philosophy nor psychology but something drawing from<br />
each of those, something that tries to show more than<br />
describe how works of art have power, a disseminating,<br />
productive power that exceeds any biography. Dumm is<br />
an extraordinary writer and courageous thinker.”—JANE<br />

Thomas Dumm<br />
:::<br />
In My Father’s House, the political philosopher<br />
Thomas Dumm explores a series<br />
of stark and melancholy paintings by the<br />
American artist Will Barnet. Responding<br />
to the physical and mental decline of his<br />
sister Eva, who lived alone in the family<br />
home in Beverly, Massachusetts, Barnet<br />
began work in 1990 on what became<br />
a series of nine paintings depicting Eva<br />
and other family members as they once<br />
were and as they figured in the artist’s<br />
memory. Rendered in Barnet’s signature<br />
quiet, abstract style, the paintings, each<br />
featured in full color, present the ordinary and extraordinary aspects of a twentieth-century<br />
American family.<br />
Dumm first became acquainted with Barnet and his paintings in 2008. Given his<br />
scholarly focus on the lives of ordinary people, he was immediately attracted<br />
to the artist’s work. When they met, Dumm and Barnet began a friendship and<br />
dialogue that lasted until the painter’s death in 2012, at the age of 101. This<br />
book reflects the many discussions the two had concerning the series of paintings,<br />
Barnet’s family, his early life in Beverly, and his eighty-year career as a<br />
prominent New York artist. Reading the almost gothic paintings in conversation<br />
with the writers and thinkers key to both his and Barnet’s thinking—Emerson,<br />
Spinoza, Dickinson, Benjamin, Cavell, Nietzsche, Melville—Dumm’s haunting<br />
meditations evoke broader reflections on family, mortality, the uncanny, and<br />
the loss that comes with remembrance.<br />
“Thomas Dumm’s unique intelligence, perceptual clarity, and philosophical erudition inform<br />
this powerful homage to the artist Will Barnet and his series of paintings, My Father’s<br />
House. Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Walter Benjamin, and Stanley Cavell<br />
are among those summoned to assist Dumm as he meditates on questions of place<br />
and person, loss and love, past and present, conjured for him by Barnet’s haunting and<br />
haunted works. This is a deeply moving account of how an encounter with art might allay<br />
the turbulent loneliness of our age.”—ANN LAUTERBACH, author of Under the Sign<br />

Willful Subjects<br />
sara ahmed<br />
In Willful Subjects Sara Ahmed<br />
Willful Subjects<br />
explores willfulness as a charge often<br />
Sara Ahmed made by some against others. One<br />
history of will is a history of attempts<br />
to eliminate willfulness from the will.<br />
Delving into philosophical and literary<br />
texts, Ahmed examines the relation<br />
between will and willfulness, ill will<br />
and good will, and the particular<br />
will and general will. Her reflections<br />
shed light on how will is embedded<br />
in a political and cultural landscape,<br />
how it is embodied, and how will<br />
and willfulness are socially mediated.<br />
Attentive to the wayward, the wandering,<br />
and the deviant, Ahmed considers<br />
how willfulness is taken up by those who have received its charge. Grounded<br />
in feminist, queer, and antiracist politics, her sui generis analysis of the<br />
willful subject, the figure who wills wrongly or wills too much, suggests that<br />
willfulness might be required to recover from the attempt at its elimination.<br />

Sara Ahmed is Professor of Race and<br />

Others, all also published by Duke University Press, as well<br />
as The Cultural Politics of Emotion, Strange Encounters:<br />
Embodied Others in Post-Coloniality, and Differences That<br />
Matter: Feminist Theory and Postmodernism.<br />
“Like Sara Ahmed’s other works, which are known for their<br />
originality, sharpness, and reach, Willful Subjects offers<br />
here a vibrant, surprising, and philosophically rich analysis<br />
of cultural politics, drawing on feminist, queer, and antiracist<br />
uses of willingness and willfulness to explain forms of sustained<br />
and adamant social disagreement as a constitutive<br />
part of any radical ethics and politics worth its name.”<br />
—JUDITH BUTLER, Maxine Elliot Professor of Comparative<br />
Literature, University of California, Berkeley<br />
“Willful Subjects is beautifully conceived and expertly<br />
conducted, sentence by sentence, suggestion by suggestion.<br />
Paradoxically, Sara Ahmed’s willfulness promises happiness<br />
for her readers. Exquisite formulations engage our contemplation<br />
and render real intellectual enjoyment. Followers<br />
of Ahmed, of whom there are many, will not be disappointed.<br />
This new instance of razor-sharp thinking powerfully builds<br />
upon The Promise of Happiness to look at something<br />
usefully slicing through contentment: the scissoring relations<br />
between the will and willfulness. More than cutting-edge, this<br />
is cutting thought.”—KATHRYN BOND STOCKTON, author<br />

LAND’S END<br />
Capitalist Relations on an Indigenous Frontier<br />
Drawing on two decades of ethnographic<br />
research in Sulawesi, Indonesia, Tania<br />
Murray Li offers an intimate account of the<br />
emergence of capitalist relations among<br />
indigenous highlanders who privatized their<br />
common land to plant a boom crop, cacao.<br />
Spurred by the hope of ending their poverty<br />
and isolation, some prospered, while others<br />
lost their land and struggled to sustain their<br />
families. Yet the winners and losers in this<br />
transition were not strangers—they were kin<br />
and neighbors. Li’s richly peopled account<br />
takes the reader into the highlanders’ world,<br />
exploring the dilemmas they faced as sharp<br />
inequalities emerged among them.<br />
The book challenges complacent modernization narratives promoted by development<br />
agencies that assume inefficient farmers who lose out in the shift to<br />
high-value export crops can find jobs elsewhere. Decades of uneven and often<br />
jobless growth in Indonesia meant that for newly landless highlanders, land’s<br />
end was a dead end. The book also has implications for social-movement activists,<br />
who seldom attend to instances where enclosure is initiated by farmers<br />
rather than coerced by the state or agribusiness corporations. Li’s attention to<br />
the historical, cultural, and ecological dimensions of this conjuncture demonstrates<br />
the power of the ethnographic method and its relevance to theory and practice<br />
today.<br />

“Tania Murray Li, one of the foremost scholars of the native peoples, economies, and<br />
ecologies of Southeast Asia, here tells the subtle and challenging story of the Lauje,<br />
a group who defy clichés of indigeneity and whose destructive involvement in commodity<br />
production was willingly embraced. Her analysis complicates our understanding of<br />
the expansion of global capitalism, and the millions of people who do not fit easily into<br />
narratives of modern rural transformation.”—MICHAEL R. DOVE, coeditor of Beyond<br />

management, existential danger, state<br />
secrecy, and threat awareness have evolved as core aspects of the American<br />
social contract, he draws on archival, media, and ethnographic resources to<br />
offer a new portrait of American national security culture. Undemocratic and<br />
unrelenting, this counterterror state prioritizes speculative practices over facts,<br />
and ignores everyday forms of violence across climate, capital, and health in an<br />
unprecedented effort to anticipate and eliminate terror threats—real, imagined,<br />

“What Joseph Masco shows us in The Theater of Operations<br />
is an entire affective structure—the management of anxiety,<br />
resilience, steadfastness, sacrifice—that is demanded of every<br />
citizen. Alert to liquid containers above 2.4 ounces, hypervigilant<br />
about abandoned bags, suspicious of loitering, and<br />
prepared for the detonation of a thermonuclear weapon—<br />
we learn to live our lives aware of tiny and apocalyptic things.<br />
With an anthropologist’s eye long attuned to life in the parawartime<br />
state, Masco is the perfect guide to the theater of<br />
the security state.”—PETER GALISON, author of Einstein’s<br />
Clocks, Poincaré’s Maps: Empires of Time<br />
“Joseph Masco’s brilliance lies in his ability to make visible the complex affective and<br />
discursive technologies that emerged from the long history of the Cold War, and to illuminate<br />
their effects on our everyday perceptions of security and harm. This much-anticipated<br />
book will be read widely in cultural anthropology and cultural studies. It is beautifully<br />

WITH THE PAMPHLET The Case for West-Indian Self Government<br />
The Life of Captain Cipriani (1932) is the earliest<br />
full-length work of nonfiction by the Trinidadian<br />
writer C. L. R. James, one of the most significant<br />
historians and Marxist theorists of the twentieth<br />
century. It is partly based on James’s interviews<br />
with Arthur Andrew Cipriani (1876–1945). As<br />
a captain with the British West Indies Regiment<br />
during the First World War, Cipriani was greatly<br />
impressed by the service of the black West Indian<br />
troops and appalled at their treatment during and<br />
after the war. After his return to the West Indies,<br />
he became a Trinidadian political leader and advocate<br />
for West Indian self-government. James’s book is as much polemic as<br />
biography. Written in Trinidad and published in England, it is an early and powerful<br />
statement of West Indian nationalism. An excerpt, The Case for West-Indian<br />
Self Government, was issued by Leonard and Virginia Woolf’s Hogarth Press in<br />
1933. This volume includes the biography, the pamphlet, and a new introduction<br />
in which Bridget Brereton considers both texts and the young C. L. R. James<br />
in relation to Trinidadian and West Indian intellectual and social history. She<br />
discusses how James came to write his biography of Cipriani, how the book was<br />
received in the West Indies and Trinidad, and how, throughout his career, James<br />
would use biography to explore the dynamics of politics and history.<br />

point of the Garvey movement in the United States,<br />
while Garvey’s tour of the Caribbean, in the winter<br />

“Robert A. Hill and his staff . . . have gathered over 30,000<br />

of the history of black nationalism and perhaps<br />
increase our understanding of contemporary black politics.”<br />
—CLAYBORNE CARSON, The Nation<br />
Volume XII highlights the centrality of Caribbean people not only to the convention,<br />
but also to the movement. The reports to the convention discussed the<br />
range of social and economic conditions obtaining in the Caribbean, particularly<br />
their impact on racial conditions. The quality of the discussions and debates<br />
were impressive. Contained in these reports are some of the earliest and most<br />
clearly enunciated statements in defense of social and political freedom in the<br />
Caribbean. These documents form an underappreciated and still underutilized<br />
record of the political awakening of Caribbean people of African descent.<br />

Bette Davis had to enter through the bathroom<br />
window to give her welcome speech,<br />
the storied dance floor where movie stars<br />
danced with soldiers has been the subject<br />
of much U.S. nostalgia about the “Greatest<br />
Generation.” Drawing from oral histories<br />
with civilian volunteers and military guests<br />
who danced at the wartime nightclub,<br />
Sherrie Tucker explores how jitterbugging swing culture has come to represent<br />
the war in U.S. national memory. Yet her interviewees’ varied experiences and<br />
recollections belie the possibility of any singular historical narrative. Some<br />
recall racism, sexism, and inequality on the nightclub’s dance floor and in Los<br />
Angeles neighborhoods, dynamics at odds with the U.S. democratic, egalitarian<br />
ideals associated with the Hollywood Canteen and the “Good War” in popular<br />
culture narratives. For Tucker, swing dancing’s torque—bodies sharing weight,<br />
velocity, and turning power without guaranteed outcomes—is an apt metaphor<br />
for the jostling narratives, different perspectives, unsteady memories, and<br />
quotidian acts that comprise social history.<br />

Traveling Heavy<br />
A Memoir in between Journeys<br />
ruth behar<br />
“Ruth Behar’s vivid personal vignettes<br />
sing of sorrow and joy, disappointment<br />
and love. They range from family and<br />
fieldwork to travel and returns to her<br />
birthplace: Havana, Cuba. They explore<br />
her mixedness, Jewish and Latina. She<br />
is an ethnographer and a writer. Read<br />
and join her moving quest for belonging<br />
and home.”—RENATO ROSALDO,<br />
author of The Day of Shelly’s Death:<br />
The Poetry and Ethnography of Grief<br />
“‘Travelers are those who go elsewhere<br />
because they want to . . . .<br />
Immigrants are those who go elsewhere<br />
because they have to.’ Ruth Behar’s own story is one of being both<br />
the reluctant immigrant and the enthusiastic traveler, and finally, perhaps<br />
to appease both legacies, ‘an anthropologist who specializes in homesickness.’<br />
Behar admits Spanish is her mother tongue, and yet she is a master<br />
craftsperson in her father tongue, English. As always, her exquisite stories<br />
leave me astonished, amused, exhilarated, illuminated, and forever transformed.”<br />
—SANDRA CISNEROS, author of The House on Mango Street<br />
“Ruth Behar takes us deep into geographies she has charted, transcending<br />
anthropological reportage and finding the poetry that is there not<br />
only in the places she has mapped but also in history. She has written an<br />
observant and surprisingly compassionate book, full of warmth. I enjoyed<br />
reading every page; it is full of wisdom and devastating sincerity.”—NILO<br />
CRUZ, author of Anna in the Tropics, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama<br />
Ruth Behar was born in Havana, Cuba. She and her family moved<br />
to New York City when she was five. In the years since, she has become<br />
an internationally acclaimed writer and the Victor Haim Perera Collegiate<br />
Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. She is the<br />
author of many books, including An Island Called Home: Returning<br />

“Carla Freeman’s scholarship reveals a delicate omnivorousness. She<br />
offers a unique perspective on the affective economies through which<br />
neoliberal capitalism and its middle-class subjects are made and remade,<br />
demonstrating that neoliberalism is not monolithic or guaranteed. Its<br />
varied ‘structures of feeling’ are produced, contested, and differentiated.<br />
Freeman’s way of making and working with theory is rare; it traverses<br />
multiple registers, holding in tension the specific, the general, the abstract,<br />
and the concrete.”—CINDI KATZ, author of Growing Up Global: Economic<br />
Restructuring and Children’s Everyday Lives<br />
Entrepreneurial Selves is an ethnography of neoliberalism. Bridging<br />
political economy and affect studies, Carla Freeman turns a spotlight on<br />
the entrepreneur, a figure saluted across the globe as the very embodiment<br />
of neoliberalism. Steeped in more than a decade of ethnography<br />
on the emergent entrepreneurial middle class of Barbados, she finds<br />
dramatic reworkings of selfhood, intimacy, labor, and life amid the<br />
rumbling effects of political-economic restructuring. She shows us that<br />
the déjà vu of neoliberalism, the global hailing of entrepreneurial flexibility<br />
and its concomitant project of self-making, can only be grasped<br />
through the thickness of cultural specificity where its costs and pleasures<br />
are unevenly felt. Freeman theorizes postcolonial neoliberalism by<br />
reimagining the Caribbean cultural model of ‘reputation-respectability.’<br />
This remarkable book will allow readers to see how the material social<br />
practices formerly associated with resistance to capitalism (reputation)<br />
are being mobilized in ways that sustain neoliberal precepts and,<br />
in so doing, re-map class, race, and gender through a new emotional<br />
economy.<br />

“Aurality shows how hearing, writing, speech, and song were central to<br />
the constitution of modern personhood in the nineteenth century. Using<br />
Colombia as her case study, Ana María Ochoa Gautier explores how<br />
colonial intellectuals, creoles, and indigenous people spoke, sung, and<br />
wrote across difference as they struggled to establish new kinds of political<br />
subjectivity and nationality. Her book offers a vital alternative to<br />
a literature that has too often taken Western Europe and Anglophone<br />
North America as points of historical departure. Aurality will transform<br />
our understandings of the human and the animal; nation and citizenship;<br />
music and language; speech and writing; and modernity itself.”<br />
—JONATHAN STERNE, author of MP3: The Meaning of a Format<br />
In this audacious book, Ana María<br />
Ochoa Gautier explores how listening<br />
has been central to the production<br />
of notions of language, music, voice,<br />
and sound that determine the politics<br />
of life. Drawing primarily from<br />
nineteenth-century Colombian sources,<br />
Ochoa Gautier locates sounds produced<br />

of the human and nonhuman.<br />
Listening & Knowledge in<br />
Nineteenth-Century Colombia<br />
Her “acoustically tuned” analysis of<br />

debates on the nature of the aural.<br />
These discussions were central to a politics of the voice harnessed in<br />
the service of the production of different notions of personhood and<br />
belonging. In Ochoa Gautier’s groundbreaking work, Latin America<br />
and the Caribbean emerge as a historical site where the politics of life<br />
and the politics of expression inextricably entangle the musical and<br />
the linguistic, knowledge and the sensorial.<br />

susan reynolds whyte, editor<br />
“Speculative Markets brings exceptional clarity to a topic of genuine importance—the<br />
relationship between transnational finance capital and pharmaceutical<br />
supply in West Africa. This is a brilliant multisited ethnography<br />
of a market, advancing new theoretical understandings of contemporary<br />
economic life in Nigeria and beyond. Kristin Peterson also makes a vital<br />
contribution to global health and pharmaceutical reasoning by raising<br />
critical questions about drug procurement, distribution, and efficacy.”<br />
—JULIE LIVINGSTON, author of Improvising Medicine: An African<br />
Oncology Ward in an Emerging Cancer Epidemic<br />
“Second Chances provides insight of impressive range and depth into the<br />
impact of global health programs. It moves medical anthropology’s theoretical<br />
agenda along by offering a subtle but sharp critique of contemporary<br />
manifestations of biological/therapeutic citizenship. Yet its greatest innovation<br />
may be methodological. As a convincing work of collective ethnography,<br />
Second Chances reveals the productive potential of ‘team’ or ‘project’<br />
anthropology.”—VINH-KIM NGUYEN, author of The Republic of Therapy:<br />
Triage and Sovereignty in West Africa’s Time of AIDS<br />
In this unprecedented account of the<br />
dynamics of Nigeria’s pharmaceutical<br />
markets, Kristin Peterson connects<br />
multinational drug company policies,<br />
oil concerns, Nigerian political and<br />
economic transitions, the circulation<br />
of pharmaceuticals in the Global<br />
South, Wall Street machinations,<br />
and the needs and aspirations of<br />
individual Nigerians. Studying the<br />
pharmaceutical market in Lagos,<br />

KristiN PetersoN<br />
social norms and credit and pricing<br />
practices in the broader context of<br />
regional, transnational, and global financial capital. Peterson explains<br />
how a significant and formerly profitable African pharmaceutical market<br />
collapsed in the face of U.S. monetary policies and neoliberal economic<br />
reforms. And she illuminates the relation between that collapse and the<br />
American turn to speculative capital during the 1980s. In the process,<br />
she reveals the mutual constitution of financial speculation in the drug<br />
industry and the structural adjustment plans that the IMF imposed on<br />
African nations. Her book is a sobering ethnographic analysis of the<br />
effects of speculation and “development” as they reverberate across<br />
markets and continents, and play out in everyday interpersonal transactions<br />
of the Lagos pharmaceutical market.<br />

As clients they joined programs that offered free antiretroviral medicine<br />
and encouraged “positive living.” Because ART is not a cure but a<br />

families, and individuals. Drawing on personal accounts and a broad<br />
knowledge of Ugandan culture and history, the essays in this collection<br />
explore ART from the perspective of those who received second chances.<br />
Their concerns about treatment, partners, children, work, food, and<br />

Biomedicine in an Unstable Place<br />
Infrastructure and Personhood<br />
in a Papua New Guinean Hospital<br />
alice street<br />
“This compelling study achieves almost perfect pitch in the way it engages<br />
quite different sources of understanding. At once true to the locale of a<br />
hospital in the Pacific and to the world of institutions just round everyone’s<br />
corner, it also conveys the unexpected accommodations that patients and<br />
staff alike have to make to the predicaments in which they find themselves.<br />
Closely observed, sympathetic, critical, this is contemporary ethnography<br />
of the first order.”—MARILYN STRATHERN, University of Cambridge<br />

Biomedicine in an<br />
Unstable Place is<br />
the story of people’s<br />
struggle to make<br />
biomedicine work<br />
in a public hospital<br />
in Papua New Guinea.<br />
It is a story encompassing<br />
the history of<br />
hospital infrastructures as sites of colonial and postcolonial governance,<br />
the simultaneous production of Papua New Guinea as a site of global<br />
medical research and public health, and people’s encounters with<br />
urban institutions and biomedical technologies. In Papua New Guinea,<br />
a century of state building has weakened already inadequate colonial<br />
infrastructures, and people experience the hospital as a space of institutional,<br />
medical, and ontological instability.<br />
In the hospital’s clinics, biomedical practitioners struggle amid severe<br />
resource shortages to make the diseased body visible and knowable to<br />
the clinical gaze. That struggle is entangled with attempts by doctors,<br />
nurses, and patients to make themselves visible to external others—<br />
to kin, clinical experts, global scientists, politicians, and international<br />
development workers—as socially recognizable and valuable persons.<br />
Here hospital infrastructures emerge as relational technologies that are<br />
fundamentally fragile but also offer crucial opportunities for making<br />
people visible and knowable in new, unpredictable, and powerful ways.<br />

How Climate Change Comes to Matter<br />
The Communal Life of Facts<br />
candis callison<br />
“A gifted storyteller who brings enormous empathy and nuance to each<br />
group she documents, Candis Callison depicts the current discursive struggles<br />
over climate change, as such diverse players as corporate responsibility<br />
advocates, evangelical Christians, and Inuit tribal leaders, not to<br />
mention scientists and journalists, seek to reconcile the need for dramatic<br />
change with their existing sets of professional norms and cultural values.<br />
This is essential reading for anyone who wants to better understand how<br />
science gets refracted across an increasingly diverse media landscape and<br />
for anyone who wants to understand how they might be more effective at<br />
changing entrenched beliefs and practices.”—HENRY JENKINS, coauthor<br />
of Spreadable Media: Creating Value and Meaning in a Networked Culture<br />
During the past decade, skepticism about climate change has frustrated<br />
those seeking to engage broad publics and motivate them to take<br />
action on the issue. In this innovative ethnography, Candis Callison<br />
examines the initiatives of social and professional groups as they<br />
encourage diverse American publics to care about climate change. She<br />
explores the efforts of science journalists, scientists who have become<br />
expert voices for and about climate change, American evangelicals,<br />
Indigenous leaders, and advocates for corporate social responsibility.<br />
The disparate efforts of these groups illuminate the challenge of maintaining<br />
fidelity to scientific facts while transforming them into ethical<br />
and moral calls to action. Callison investigates the different vernaculars<br />
through which we understand and articulate our worlds, as well as the<br />
nuanced and pluralistic understandings of climate change evident in<br />
different forms of advocacy. As she demonstrates, climate change offers<br />
an opportunity to look deeply at how issues and problems that begin<br />
in a scientific context come to matter to wide publics, and to rethink<br />
emerging interactions among different kinds of knowledge and experience,<br />
evolving media landscapes, and claims to authority and expertise.<br />

Journalism at the University of British Columbia.<br />

an important and influential area of scholarship, which will become increasingly<br />
central to anthropology, science studies, environmental studies,<br />
and social theory. At the same time, The Multispecies Salon is in many<br />
ways an art book. It features an extraordinary range of remarkable art<br />
projects, which are fascinating in their own right and beautifully written<br />
up.”—SARAH FRANKLIN, author of Biological Relatives: IVF, Stem Cells,<br />
and the Future of Kinship<br />
EBEN KIRKSEY, EDITOR<br />
A new approach to writing culture has<br />
arrived: multispecies ethnography.<br />
Plants, animals, fungi, and microbes<br />
appear alongside humans in this<br />
singular book about natural and<br />
cultural history. Anthropologists<br />
have collaborated with artists and<br />
biological scientists to illuminate<br />
how diverse organisms are entangled<br />
in political, economic, and cultural<br />
systems. Contributions from influential<br />
writers and scholars, such as<br />
Dorion Sagan, Karen Barad, Donna<br />
Haraway, and Anna Lowenhaupt<br />
Tsing, are featured along with essays by emergent artists and cultural<br />
anthropologists.<br />
Delectable mushrooms flourishing in the aftermath of ecological<br />
disaster, microbial cultures enlivening the politics and value of food,<br />
and emergent life forms running wild in the age of biotechnology<br />
all figure in this curated collection of essays and artifacts. Recipes<br />
provide instructions on how to cook acorn mush, make cheese out<br />
of human milk, and enliven forests after they have been clear-cut.<br />
The Multispecies Salon investigates messianic dreams, environmental<br />
nightmares, and modest sites of biocultural hope.<br />

Illusions of a Future<br />
Psychoanalysis and the Biopolitics of Desire<br />
kate schechter<br />
“Illusions of a Future is not only a careful, fightingly smart account of what<br />
happens to middle-American psychoanalysis and its ‘crisis’ under neoliberal<br />
conditions of risk and accountability. It is an argument for a rethinking of biopolitics.<br />
Kate Schechter uses a rigorous historical and ethnographic account<br />
of twentieth-century and contemporary psychoanalysis in Chicago to address<br />
and extend both Foucauldian and Derridean readings of analysis and of Freud<br />
at the very point where these readings appear to falter or reverse course.<br />
She does so through empirical engagement with ‘local catalogs of resistances,’<br />
a project that she terms ‘rethinking biopolitics with renovated psychoanalytic<br />
resources’ and one that makes intense and rewarding demands on<br />
its reader.”—LAWRENCE COHEN, author of No Aging in India: Alzheimer’s,<br />
The Bad Family, and Other Modern Things<br />
A pioneering ethnography of psychoanalysis,<br />
Illusions of a Future explores the<br />
ILLUSIONS political economy of private therapeutic<br />
labor within industrialized medicine.<br />
FUTURE<br />
Focusing on psychoanalysis in Chicago,<br />
psychoanalysis and the<br />
biopolitics of desire<br />
a historically important location in the<br />
development and institutionalization of<br />
kate schechter<br />
psychoanalysis in the United States, Kate<br />
Schechter examines the nexus of theory,<br />
practice, and institutional form in the<br />
original instituting of psychoanalysis,<br />
its normalization, and now its “crisis.”<br />
She describes how contemporary analysts<br />
struggle to maintain conceptions<br />
of themselves as capable of deciding what psychoanalysis is and how<br />
to regulate it in order to prevail over market demands for the efficiency<br />
and standardization of mental health treatments.<br />
OF A<br />
In the process, Schechter shows how deeply imbricated the analyst-patient<br />
relationship is in this effort. Since the mid-twentieth century, the “real”<br />
relationship between analyst and patient is no longer the unremarked<br />
background of analysis but its very site. Psychoanalysts seek to validate<br />
the centrality of this relationship with theory and, through codified “standards,”<br />
to claim it as a privileged technique. It has become the means by<br />
which psychoanalysts, in seeking to protect their disciplinary autonomy,<br />
have unwittingly bound themselves to a neoliberal discourse of regulation.<br />

of the experiences of Muslim French and a compelling analysis of the<br />

The Republic<br />
unseTTled<br />
In 1989, three Muslim schoolgirls<br />
from a Paris suburb refused to<br />
remove their Islamic headscarves in<br />
class. The headscarf crisis signaled<br />
an Islamic revival among the children<br />
of North African immigrants;<br />
it also ignited an ongoing debate<br />
about the place of Muslims within<br />
the secular nation-state. Based on<br />
ten years of ethnographic research,<br />
The Republic Unsettled alternates<br />
between an analysis of Muslim<br />
French religiosity and the contradictions<br />
of French secularism<br />
Muslim French and the contradictions of secularism<br />
precipitated by this Muslim identity.<br />
Mayanthi L. Fernando explores how Muslim French draw on both Islamic<br />
and secular-republican traditions to create novel modes of ethical and<br />
political life, reconfiguring those traditions to imagine a new future for<br />
France. She also examines how the political discourses, institutions,<br />
and laws that constitute French secularism regulate Islam, transforming<br />
the Islamic tradition and what it means to be Muslim. Fernando traces<br />
how long-standing tensions within secularism and republican citizenship<br />
are displaced onto France’s Muslims, who are, as a result, rendered<br />
illegitimate as political citizens and moral subjects. She argues, ultimately,<br />
that the Muslim question is as much about secularism as it is<br />
about Islam.<br />

At the foot of the Argentine Andes,<br />

R. Gordillo shows how geographic<br />
space is inseparable from the<br />
material, historical, and affective<br />
ruptures embodied in debris.<br />
Gastón R. Gordillo His exploration of the significance<br />
of rubble encompasses lost cities,<br />
derelict train stations, overgrown Jesuit missions and Spanish forts,<br />
stranded steamships, mass graves, and razed forests. Examining the<br />
effects of these and other forms of debris on the people living on<br />
nearby ranches and farms, and in towns, Gordillo emphasizes that for<br />
the rural poor, the rubble left in the wake of capitalist and imperialist<br />
endeavors is not romanticized ruin but the material manifestation of the<br />
violence and dislocation that created it.<br />

The Everyday Politics of Water in Egypt<br />
jessica barnes<br />
“Lucinda Ramberg’s powerful combination of ethnographic observation<br />
and theoretical reflection connects the study of a particular social group<br />
in South India (devadasis or jogatis) with general issues in anthropology<br />
and feminist and queer studies. Given to the Goddess will prove relevant<br />

Lucinda Ramberg<br />
religion Lucinda Ramberg considers<br />
these questions based on two years<br />
of ethnographic research on an ongoing<br />
South Indian practice of dedication<br />
in which girls, and sometimes boys,<br />
are married to a goddess. Called<br />
devadasis, or jogatis, those dedicated<br />
become female and male women who<br />
conduct the rites of the goddess outside<br />
the walls of her main temple and<br />
SOUTH INDIAN DEVADASIS and the SEXUALITY of RELIGION<br />
transact in sex outside the bounds<br />
of conjugal matrimony. Marriage to the goddess, as well as the rites<br />
that the dedication ceremony authorizes jogatis to perform, have long<br />
been seen as illegitimate and criminalized. Kinship with the goddess is<br />
productive for the families who dedicate their children, Ramberg argues,<br />
and yet it cannot conform to modern conceptions of gender, family, or<br />
religion. This nonconformity, she suggests, speaks to the limitations of<br />
modern categories, as well as to the possibilities of relations—between<br />
and among humans and deities—that exceed such categories.<br />

“Cultivating the Nile is an impressive account of something we know little<br />
about despite its growing urgency: the causes of water scarcity in any<br />
particular region and the ways that the people affected deal with it.<br />
A significant contribution to the growing literature on water sustainability<br />
around the world, Cultivating the Nile is likely to be discussed for years<br />
to come.”—STEVEN C. CATON, Harvard University<br />
The waters of the Nile are fundamental<br />
to life in Egypt. In this compelling<br />
ethnography, Jessica Barnes explores<br />
the everyday politics of water: a politics<br />
anchored in the mundane yet vital<br />
acts of blocking, releasing, channeling,<br />
and diverting water. She examines<br />

practices in relation to broader processes<br />
that affect Nile waters, Barnes<br />
moves back and forth from farmer to government ministry, from irrigation<br />
canal to international water conference. By showing how the waters<br />
of the Nile are constantly made and remade as a resource by people in<br />
and outside Egypt, she demonstrates the range of political dynamics,<br />
social relations, and technological interventions that must be incorporated<br />
into understandings of water and its management.<br />

Habeas Viscus<br />
Racializing Assemblages, Biopolitics,<br />
and Black Feminist Theories of the Human<br />
alexander g. weheliye<br />
“Habeas Viscus is a major contribution to the discourses of race and<br />
modern politics. Alexander G. Weheliye intervenes in contemporary<br />
engagement with Agamben’s and Foucault’s scholarship on biopolitics<br />
by opening new lines of inquiry for thinking through the problem of the<br />
human. Weheliye turns to the work of two major scholars and theorists<br />
of black studies, Hortense Spillers and Sylvia Wynter, revealing their<br />
thinking about the material and discursive existence of black bodies as<br />
vital analytical rubrics for conceptualizing the human.”—WAHNEEMA<br />
LUBIANO, editor of The House That Race Built<br />
HABEAS VISCUS<br />
Habeas Viscus focuses attention on<br />
the centrality of race to notions of<br />
the human. Alexander G. Weheliye<br />
develops a theory of “racializing<br />
assemblages,” taking race as a<br />
set of sociopolitical processes that<br />
discipline humanity into full humans,<br />
not-quite-humans, and nonhumans.<br />
This disciplining, while not biological<br />
per se, frequently depends<br />
on anchoring political hierarchies<br />

ALEXANDER G. WEHELIYE<br />
Spillers and Sylvia Wynter is vital<br />
to Weheliye’s argument. Particularly significant are their contributions<br />
to the intellectual project of black studies vis-à-vis racialization and<br />
the category of the human in western modernity. Wynter and Spillers<br />
configure black studies as an endeavor to disrupt the governing conception<br />
of humanity as synonymous with white, western man. Weheliye<br />
posits black feminist theories of modern humanity as useful correctives<br />
to the “bare life and biopolitics discourse” exemplified by the works<br />
of Giorgio Agamben and Michel Foucault, which, Weheliye contends,<br />
vastly underestimate the conceptual and political significance of race<br />
in constructions of the human. Habeas Viscus reveals the pressing need<br />
to make the insights of black studies and black feminism foundational<br />
to the study of modern humanity.<br />

City Life and the Itineraries of Transnationalism Ato Quayson<br />
In Oxford Street, Accra, Ato Quayson<br />
analyzes the dynamics of Ghana’s<br />
capital city through a focus on Oxford<br />
Street, part of Accra’s most vibrant<br />
and globalized commercial district.<br />
He traces the city’s evolution from<br />
its settlement in the mid-seventeenth<br />
century to the present day. He combines<br />
his impressions of the sights,<br />
sounds, interactions, and distribution<br />
of space with broader dynamics,<br />
including the histories of colonial and<br />
postcolonial town planning and the<br />
marks of transnationalism evident in<br />
Accra’s salsa scene, gym culture, and commercial billboards. Quayson<br />
finds that the various planning systems that have shaped the city—and<br />
had their stratifying effects intensified by the IMF-mandated structural<br />
adjustment programs of the late 1980s—prepared the way for the early-<br />
1990s transformation of a largely residential neighborhood into a kinetic<br />
shopping district. With an intense commercialism overlying, or coexisting<br />
with, stark economic inequalities, Oxford Street is a microcosm of<br />
historical and urban processes that have made Accra the variegated<br />
and contradictory metropolis that it is today.<br />

people believe that the system they currently inhabit does not work,<br />
but they see few viable alternatives, and wide-scale change seems<br />
impossible in any case. Considering history, fiction, art, and economic<br />
theory, the contributors think about the ways in which a vital future<br />
might emerge from an exhausted culture. Topics include narratives of<br />
catastrophe and escape in Cold War fiction, the narcotic haze of amusement<br />
culture in China, and the meaning of protest and utopian critique<br />
in contemporary art. The issue also features an interview with autonomist<br />
Paolo Virno on social individualism and imagination. Exploring<br />
how the current dystopian worldview points toward alternative utopian<br />
futures, the contributors seize a critical opportunity for new forms of<br />
cultural politics to emerge.<br />

Porn Archives<br />

“Everyone working on porn will have to refer to this field-defining collection.<br />
It is an important book, notable for its compelling argument, stellar<br />
roster of contributors, intellectual heft, and broad theoretical scope.<br />
It is the most exacting and exciting statement about porn studies to date.”<br />
—ROBYN WIEGMAN, author of Object Lessons<br />
While sexually explicit writing and<br />
art have been around for millennia,<br />
pornography—as an aesthetic, moral,<br />
and juridical category—is a modern invention.<br />
The contributors to Porn Archives<br />
explore how the production and proliferation<br />
of pornography has been intertwined<br />
with the emergence of the archive as a<br />
conceptual and physical site for preserving,<br />
cataloguing, and transmitting documents<br />
and artifacts. By segregating and regulating<br />
access to sexually explicit material,<br />
archives have helped constitute pornography<br />
as a distinct genre. As a result,<br />
porn has become a site for the production of knowledge, as well as<br />
the production of pleasure.<br />

The essays in this collection address the historically and culturally<br />
varied interactions between porn and the archive. Topics range from<br />
library policies governing access to sexually explicit material to the<br />
growing digital archive of “war porn,” or eroticized combat imagery;<br />
and from same-sex amputee porn to gay black comic book superhero<br />
porn. Together the pieces trace pornography as it crosses borders,<br />
transforms technologies, consolidates sexual identities, and challenges<br />
notions of what counts as legitimate forms of knowledge. The collection<br />
concludes with a valuable resource for scholars: a list of pornography<br />
archives held by institutions around the world.<br />

“Finally: scholarship that centers black women’s labor and ideas in both<br />
academia and the sex industries and gives crucial voice to underrepresented<br />
workers and feminist thinkers. Accessible to scholars and general<br />
readers alike, this book will enrage you, enlighten you, and make you<br />
rethink everything you know about race and sex.”—TRISTAN TAORMINO,<br />
author of True Lust: Adventures in Sex, Porn, and Peversion<br />
A Taste for Brown Sugar boldly takes on<br />
representations of black women’s sexuality<br />
in the porn industry. It is based on<br />
Mireille Miller-Young’s extensive archival<br />
research and her interviews with dozens<br />
of women who have worked in the adult<br />
entertainment industry since the 1980s.<br />
The women share their thoughts about<br />
desire and eroticism, black women’s sexuality<br />
and representation, and ambition<br />
and the need to make ends meet. Miller-<br />
Young documents their interventions into<br />
the complicated history of black women’s<br />
sexuality, looking at individual choices,<br />
however small—a costume, a gesture, an improvised line—as small acts<br />
of resistance, of what she calls “illicit eroticism.” Building on the work<br />
of other black feminist theorists, and contributing to the field of sex<br />
work studies, she seeks to expand discussion of black women’s sexuality<br />
to include their eroticism and desires, as well as their participation<br />
and representation in the adult entertainment industry. Miller-Young<br />
wants the voices of black women sex workers heard, and the decisions<br />
they make, albeit often within material and industrial constraints,<br />
recognized as their own.<br />

sexual commerce may be solicited<br />

underdeveloped areas within<br />
Sex, Work, and Migration<br />
in the City of Mumbai<br />
SVATI P. SHAH India, Svati P. Shah argues that selling<br />
sexual services is one of a number of<br />
ways women working as laborers may earn a living, demonstrating that<br />
sex work, like day labor, is a part of India’s vast informal economy. Here,<br />
various means of earning—legitimized or stigmatized, legal or illegal—<br />
overlap or exist in close proximity to one another, shaping a narrow field<br />
of livelihood options that women navigate daily. In the course of this rich<br />
ethnography, Shah discusses policing practices, migrants’ access to housing<br />
and water, the idea of public space, critiques of states and citizenship,<br />
and the discursive location of violence within debates on sexual commerce.<br />
Throughout, the book analyzes the epistemology of prostitution, and the<br />
silences and secrets that constitute the discourse of sexual commerce on<br />
Mumbai’s streets.<br />

A View from the Bottom<br />
Asian American Masculinity<br />
and Sexual Representation<br />
nguyen tan hoang<br />
“Nguyen Tan Hoang’s exciting book is a compelling account of the aesthetic,<br />
political, and queer possibilities of racialized forms of ‘bottomhood.’<br />
As someone who has been writing about masochism and passivity in<br />
relation to queer femininities for a while, I realize that this is the book<br />
I have needed in sorting through the complex forms of personhood, pleasure,<br />
and power that bottomhood braids into the meanings of race, nation,<br />
and sexuality.”—JACK HALBERSTAM, author of The Queer Art of Failure<br />
A View from the Bottom offers a<br />
major critical reassessment of male<br />
effeminacy and its racialization in<br />
visual culture. Examining portrayals<br />
of Asian and Asian American men in<br />
Hollywood cinema, European art film,<br />
gay pornography, and experimental<br />
documentary, Nguyen Tan Hoang<br />
explores the cultural meanings that<br />
accrue to sexual positions. He shows<br />
how cultural fantasies around the<br />
position of the sexual “bottom” overdetermine<br />
and refract the meanings of<br />
race, gender, sexuality, and nationality<br />
in American culture in ways that both enable and constrain Asian<br />
masculinity. Challenging the association of bottoming with passivity and<br />
abjection, Nguyen suggests ways of thinking about the bottom position<br />
that afford agency and pleasure. A more capacious conception of<br />
bottomhood—as a sexual position, a social alliance, an affective bond,<br />
and an aesthetic form—has the potential to destabilize sexual, gender,<br />
and racial norms, suggesting an ethical mode of relation organized not<br />
around dominance and mastery but around the risk of vulnerability and<br />
shame. Thus reconceived, bottomhood as a critical category creates<br />
new possibilities for arousal, receptiveness, and recognition, and offers<br />
a new framework for analyzing sexual representations in cinema as well<br />
as understanding their relation to oppositional political projects.<br />
Nguyen Tan Hoang is Assistant Professor of English and Film Studies<br />
at Bryn Mawr College. He is also a videomaker whose works include<br />
look_im_azn, K.I.P., PIRATED! and Forever Bottom! His videos have been<br />

On the Visceral, Part I<br />
Race, Sex, and Other Gut Feelings<br />
sharon holland, marcia ochoa &<br />
kyla wazana tompkins, special issue editors<br />
a special issue of GLQ<br />
Using the gut as a starting point,<br />
this special issue of GLQ focuses<br />
on the idea of the visceral as a<br />
trope for the carnal and bloody<br />
logic that organizes life. It brings<br />
together scholars working in food<br />
studies, American studies, sexuality<br />
and queer studies, and critical<br />
race theory, who are keen not<br />
only to understand patterns of<br />
bodily production and consumption<br />
but also to propose new<br />
theoretical scaffoldings for our<br />
understanding of the intersection<br />
of race, food, the human, and<br />
the animal. These essays highlight<br />
the moments, texts, and<br />
processes that link food, flesh,<br />
and the alimentary tract to<br />
systems of pleasure—as well as to historical and political systems of<br />
inequality. The contributors seek to unearth structures of feeling, sensing,<br />
and embodiment that have been obscured either by colonialist<br />
historiography or political prejudice.<br />

a special issue of DIFFERENCES<br />
What is at stake in acknowledging transgender studies’ Anglophone<br />
roots in the global North and West What kinds of politics might<br />
emerge from challenging the assumption that biological sex—or the<br />
categories “man” and “woman”—is stable and self-evident across<br />
time, space, and culture This special issue of TSQ: Transgender Studies<br />
Quarterly asks how trans scholarship can decolonize, rather than<br />
reproduce, dominant imaginaries of sexuality and gender.<br />
The issue highlights roadblocks as well as unexpected openings in the<br />
global circulation of trans politics and culture. A First Nations scholar<br />
recovers lost tribal knowledge of non-Eurocentric gender. A Thai trans<br />
filmmaker negotiates culturally incommensurable categories of self.<br />
Two contributors consider what is lost as the term transgender replaces<br />
local, vernacular categories of difference in India. A study of genderqueer<br />
childhood in Peru disrupts colonial ethnographer-informant<br />
roles, while another author critiques the colonialist ethnography on the<br />
sarimbavy, gender nonconforming categories of Madagascar. Another<br />
essay follows the global commodity chain of synthetic hormones to<br />
explore the biopolitics of transgender bodies and race. Finally, a roundtable<br />
discussion among transnational activists, culture makers, and<br />
scholars offers perspectives ranging from the celebratory to the cynical<br />
on decolonizing the transgender imaginary.<br />

The tyrannies of sexual normativity have been widely denounced<br />
in queer theory. Heteronormativity, homonormativity, family values,<br />
marriage, and monogamy have all been objects of sustained queer<br />
critique, most often in purely oppositional form: as antinormativity.<br />
The contributors to this special issue of differences ask a seemingly<br />
simple question of this critical code: can queer theory proceed without<br />
a primary allegiance to antinormativity These essays offer an affirmative<br />
answer either by rethinking normativity or eschewing it altogether<br />
in order to redirect the intellectual and political energies of the field.<br />

“Roy Cape is a true delight. It is an engagingly written portrayal of the<br />
interplay of Roy Cape’s musicianship and life, demonstrating how his social<br />
relations on the bandstand are inextricably connected to the way he lives<br />
in the world. I like the way that the book moves from the conventions of<br />
biography to a lively exchange between Roy and Jocelyne Guilbault, and<br />
then becomes increasingly adventurous, only to slow down again before<br />
the poignant afterword.”—RONALD RADANO, author of Lying Up a<br />

“Beautiful Data is a wonderful book, deeply engaging and full of compelling<br />

Roy Cape is a Trinidadian saxophonist<br />
active as a band musician for more<br />
than fifty years and as a bandleader<br />
for more than thirty. He is known<br />
throughout the islands and the<br />
Caribbean diasporas in North America<br />
and Europe. Part ethnography, part<br />
biography, and part Caribbean music<br />
history, Roy Cape is about the making<br />
of reputation and circulation, and<br />
about the meaning of labor and work<br />
ethics. An experiment in storytelling,<br />
it joins Roy’s voice with that of<br />
ethnomusicologist Jocelyne Guilbault.<br />
The idea for the book emerged from an exchange they had while discussing<br />
Roy’s journey as a performer and bandleader. In conversation,<br />
they began experimenting with voice, with who takes the lead, who<br />
says what, when, to whom, and why. Their book reflects that dynamic,<br />
combining first-person narrative, dialogue, and the polyphony of Roy’s<br />
bandmates’ voices. Listening to recordings and looking at old photographs<br />
elicited more recollections, which allowed Roy to expand on<br />
recurring themes and motifs. This congenial, candid book offers different<br />
ways of knowing Roy’s labor of love—his sound and work through<br />
sound, his reputation and circulation as a renowned musician and bandleader<br />
in the world.<br />

Beautiful Data is both a history of big data and interactivity, and<br />
a sophisticated meditation on ideas about vision and cognition in the<br />
second half of the twentieth century. Contending that our forms of<br />
attention, observation, and truth are contingent and contested, Orit<br />
Halpern historicizes the ways that we are trained, and train ourselves,<br />
to observe and analyze the world. Tracing the postwar impact of<br />
cybernetics and the communication sciences on the social and human<br />
sciences, design, arts, and urban planning, she finds a radical shift in<br />
attitudes toward recording and displaying information. These changed<br />
attitudes produced what she calls communicative objectivity: new forms<br />
of observation, rationality, and economy based on the management<br />
and analysis of data. Halpern complicates assumptions about the value<br />
of data and visualization, arguing that changes in how we manage and<br />
train perception, and define reason and intelligence, are also transformations<br />
in governmentality. She also challenges the paradoxical belief<br />
that we are experiencing a crisis of attention caused by digital media, a<br />
crisis that can be resolved only through intensified media consumption.<br />

Forensic Media<br />
Reconstructing Accidents in Accelerated Modernity<br />
greg siegel<br />
Celebrities and Publics in the Internet Era<br />
sharon marcus, special issue editor<br />
a special issue of PUBLIC CULTURE<br />
“An original historical analysis of the intersection of accidents and media,<br />
this book resonates with the present climate of terror and risk, bringing a<br />
significant historical dimension to our understanding of the contemporary<br />
moment. Forensic Media demonstrates how thoroughly the technological<br />
accident drives and is driven by parallel developments in modern recording<br />
media. By raising crucial questions about the role of the mediated accident<br />
in modern debates on causality, evidence, knowledge, and narrative, it<br />
makes significant contributions to media archeology and the history of<br />
science.”—KAREN BECKMAN, editor of Animating Film Theory<br />

In Forensic Media, Greg<br />
Siegel considers how photographic,<br />
electronic, and<br />
digital media have been<br />
used to record and reconstruct<br />
accidents, particularly<br />
high-speed crashes and<br />
catastrophes. Focusing in<br />
turn on the birth of the<br />
field of forensic engineering,<br />
Charles Babbage’s invention<br />
of a “self-registering<br />
apparatus” for railroad trains, flight-data and cockpit voice recorders<br />
(“black boxes”), the science of automobile crash-testing, and various<br />
accident-reconstruction techniques and technologies, Siegel shows<br />
how “forensic media” work to transmute disruptive chance occurrences<br />
into reassuring narratives of causal succession. Through historical<br />
and philosophical analyses, he demonstrates that forensic media are<br />
as much technologies of cultural imagination as they are instruments<br />
of scientific inscription, as imbued with ideological fantasies as they<br />
are compelled by institutional rationales. By rethinking the historical<br />
links and cultural relays between accidents and forensics, Siegel sheds<br />
new light on the corresponding connections between media, technology,<br />
and modernity.<br />

The contributors to Celebrities and Publics in the Internet Era ask how<br />
new digital media platforms such as search engines, Twitter, Facebook,<br />

Drawing on examples ranging from the luxury selfies of microcelebrities<br />
including Kane Lim to performance artist Marina Abramović’s collaborations<br />
with Jay-Z and Lady Gaga, from the karaoke standard in shows<br />
such as American Idol to Syrian singer Assala’s media battle with the<br />
Assad regime, and from the “emotion economy” of reality TV to the<br />
influence of such network entrepreneurs as Tim O’Reilly, the essays in<br />
this special issue of Public Culture identify core structural features that<br />
contribute to the development of a new theory of celebrity.<br />

New World Drama<br />
The Performative Commons<br />
in the Atlantic World, 1649–1849<br />
elizabeth maddock dillon<br />
“Beginning with regicide and ending in riot, New World Drama revisits key<br />
sites along the Atlantic rim to show how theatrical audiences, electing their<br />
representatives from a ballot of dramatic characters, expanded the ‘public<br />
sphere’ of the print world into a dynamic ‘performative commons.’ In this<br />

WORLD<br />
1649–1849<br />
in the colonized New World—one<br />
that included indigenous peoples,<br />
diasporic Africans, and diasporic<br />
Europeans. In the raucous space of<br />
the theatre, the contradictions of<br />
colonialism loomed large. Foremost<br />
among these was the central paradox of modernity: the coexistence of<br />
a massive slave economy and a nascent politics of freedom.<br />
Audiences in London eagerly watched the royal slave, Oroonoko, tortured<br />
on stage, while audiences in Charleston and Kingston were<br />
forbidden from watching the same scene. Audiences in Kingston and<br />
New York City exuberantly participated in the slaying of Richard III on<br />
stage, enacting the rise of the “people,” and Native American leaders<br />
were enjoined to watch actors in blackface “jump Jim Crow.” Dillon<br />
argues that the theater served as a “performative commons,” staging<br />
debates over representation in a political world based on popular sovereignty.<br />
Her book is a capacious account of performance, aesthetics, and<br />
modernity in the eighteenth-century Atlantic world.<br />
Formations of United States Colonialism<br />
alyosha goldstein, editor<br />
“This indispensable anthology makes a significant intervention in multiple<br />
fields by bridging what has often been seen as two separate processes,<br />
the consolidation of U.S. control over the continent and the rise of formal<br />
overseas interests at the end of the nineteenth century. The collected<br />
essays offer rich and substantive directions for future investigations to<br />
scholars interested in what American Indian and Indigenous studies bring<br />
to American studies and U.S. imperial studies.”—JODI A. BYRD, author<br />
of The Transit of Empire: Indigenous Critiques of Colonialism<br />
Bridging the multiple histories and present-day iterations of U.S.<br />
settler colonialism in North America and its overseas imperialism<br />
in the Caribbean and the Pacific, the essays in this groundbreaking<br />
volume underscore the United States as a fluctuating constellation<br />
of geopolitical entities marked by overlapping and variable practices<br />
of colonization. By rethinking the intertwined experiences of Native<br />
Americans, Puerto Ricans, Chamorros, Filipinos, Hawaiians, Samoans,<br />
and others subjected to U.S. imperial rule, the contributors consider<br />
how the diversity of settler claims, territorial annexations, overseas<br />
occupations, and circuits of slavery and labor—along with their attendant<br />
forms of jurisprudence, racialization, and militarism—both facilitate<br />
and delimit the conditions of colonial dispossession. Drawing on the<br />
insights of critical indigenous and ethnic studies, postcolonial theory,<br />
critical geography, ethnography, and social history, this volume emphasizes<br />
the significance of U.S. colonialisms as a vital analytic framework<br />
for understanding how and why the United States is what it is today.<br />

Orgies of Feeling<br />
Melodrama and the Politics of Freedom<br />
elisabeth r. anker<br />
Soundtracks of Asian America<br />
Navigating Race through Musical Performance<br />
grace wang<br />
“Anyone who thinks that melodrama is inherently politically progressive<br />
is advised to read this book, the first to systematically apply the role<br />
of the American melodramatic mode to the politics of American heroic<br />
sovereignty. Perhaps the boldest part of Elisabeth R. Anker’s thesis is not<br />
simply the general argument that Americans often cast their politics into<br />
narratives of victimization and vengeance, but the historical argument that<br />
a new kind of melodrama has emerged ‘with a vengeance’ after the end of<br />
the Cold War and especially after 9/11. I am in awe at this book’s boldness<br />
and acuity.”—LINDA WILLIAMS, author of On The Wire<br />
Melodrama is not just a film or literary<br />
genre but a powerful political<br />
discourse that galvanizes national<br />
orgies of feeling sentiment to legitimate state violence.<br />
Finding virtue in national suffering<br />
and heroism in sovereign action,<br />
melodrama and melodramatic political discourses<br />
the politics of freedom<br />
cast war and surveillance as moral<br />
imperatives for eradicating villainy<br />
and upholding freedom. In Orgies<br />
elisabeth r. anker of Feeling, Elisabeth R. Anker boldly<br />
reframes political theories of sovereignty,<br />
freedom, and power by<br />
analyzing the work of melodrama<br />
and affect in contemporary politics. Arguing that melodrama animates<br />
desires for unconstrained power, Anker examines melodramatic discourses<br />
in the War on Terror, neoliberal politics, anticommunist rhetoric,<br />
Hollywood film, and post-Marxist critical theory. Building on Friedrich<br />
Nietzsche’s notion of “orgies of feeling,” in which overwhelming<br />
emotions displace commonplace experiences of vulnerability and powerlessness<br />
onto a dramatic story of injured freedom, Anker contends<br />
that the recent upsurge in melodrama in the United States is an indication<br />
of public discontent. Yet the discontent that melodrama reflects is<br />
ultimately an expression of the public’s inability to overcome systemic<br />
exploitation and inequality rather than an alarmist response to inflated<br />
threats to the nation.<br />
“Soundtracks of Asian America is smart and informed, capacious and beautifully<br />
written. Arguing that the racialized imagination works similarly across<br />
musical genres, Grace Wang explores senses of Asian and Asian American<br />
belonging across the worlds of classical and popular music. From young<br />
classical musicians’ parents as key sites of ideology formation to the<br />
‘reverse migration’ of young Asian Americans to East Asian popular music<br />
markets, her case studies are inspired and telling.”—DEBORAH WONG,<br />
author of Speak It Louder: Asian Americans Making Music<br />
In Soundtracks of Asian America, Grace Wang explores how Asian<br />
Americans use music to construct narratives of self, race, class, and<br />
belonging in national and transnational spaces. She highlights how they<br />
navigate racialization in different genres by considering the experiences<br />
of Asians and Asian Americans in Western classical music, U.S. popular<br />
music, and Mandopop (Mandarin-language popular music). Her study<br />
encompasses the perceptions and motivations of middle-class Chinese<br />
and Korean immigrant parents intensely involved in their children’s classical<br />
music training, and of Asian and Asian American classical musicians<br />
whose prominence in their chosen profession is celebrated by some and<br />
undermined by others. Wang interviews young Asian American singersongwriters<br />
using YouTube to contest the limitations of a racialized U.S.<br />
media landscape, and investigates the transnational modes of belonging<br />
forged by Asian American pop stars pursuing recording contracts and<br />
fame in East Asia. Foregrounding musical spaces where Asian Americans<br />
are particularly visible, Wang examines how race matters and operates<br />
in the practices and institutions of music making.<br />

Staging the Blues<br />
From Tent Shows to Tourism<br />

“This beautifully written and engaging account of how blues has been<br />
staged will change for good how theater scholars think of musical performance,<br />
and how music scholars think of theater. Paige A. McGinley’s observation<br />
that ‘authenticity is produced theatrically, on stage, in the context of<br />
the performance event’ deconstructs the binary between authenticity and<br />
inauthenticity, allowing her to focus on black agency and subjectivity as it<br />
is produced in and through performance.”—GAYLE WALD, author of Shout,<br />
Sister, Shout! The Untold Story of Rock-and-Roll Trailblazer Sister Rosetta<br />
Tharpe<br />
“This highly original book fills a significant gap in the literature on New<br />
Orleans and on tourism in general by offering a rare look at African American<br />
tourism within the dominant (white) tourism narrative. Desire and Disaster<br />
in New Orleans will be vital reading for scholars working on New Orleans<br />
and those examining representations of African Americans in modern<br />
American culture. It is filled with astute analyses based on Lynnell L.<br />
Thomas’s impressive interpretations of sources ranging from websites to<br />
interviews.”—ANTHONY J. STANONIS, author of Creating the Big Easy:<br />
New Orleans and the Emergence of Modern Tourism, 1918–1945<br />
Singing was just one element of blues<br />
performance in the early twentieth<br />
century. Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith,<br />
and other classic blues singers also<br />
tapped, joked, and flaunted extravagant<br />
costumes on tent show and black<br />
vaudeville stages. The press even<br />
described these women as “actresses”<br />
long before they achieved worldwide<br />
fame for their musical recordings. In<br />
Staging the Blues, Paige A. McGinley<br />
shows that even though folklorists,<br />
record producers, and festival promoters<br />
set the theatricality of early blues<br />
aside in favor of notions of authenticity, it remained creatively vibrant<br />
throughout the twentieth century. Highlighting performances by Rainey,<br />
Smith, Lead Belly, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Sonny Terry, and Brownie<br />
McGhee in small Mississippi towns, Harlem theaters, and the industrial<br />
British North, this pioneering study foregrounds virtuoso blues artists<br />
who used the conventions of the theater, including dance, comedy,<br />
and costume, to stage black mobility, to challenge narratives of racial<br />
authenticity, and to fight for racial and economic justice.<br />

Most of the narratives packaged for<br />

and natural disaster. In this timely<br />

of success, African American tour guides, tour owners, and tourism<br />
industry officials have used their own black heritage tours and tourismfocused<br />
businesses to challenge exclusionary tourist representations.<br />
Taking readers from the Lower Ninth Ward to the White House, Thomas<br />
highlights the ways that popular culture and public policy converge to<br />
create a mythology of racial harmony that masks a long history of racial<br />
inequality and structural inequity.<br />

Philosophical Performances<br />

african american studies<br />
“Behind the hypermacho performance of pro wrestling, R. Tyson Smith<br />
reveals a backstage where hard aggressive bodies are actually soft and<br />
yielding, hypersensitive as lovers so that they don’t cripple each other.<br />
It is more akin to ballet than battle, except that all the effort goes into<br />
giving the opposite impression. This is one of the great ethnographies of<br />
the backstage of occupations, of athletes, of show business, of the bodily<br />
self—and of social performance itself.”—RANDALL COLLINS, author of<br />
Violence: A Micro-sociological Theory<br />
“The rigorous turns and supple overturnings in Wandering illuminate and<br />
extend meditative resistance to the racial and sexual pathologization of<br />
the irregular, antiregulative, social, and aesthetic movement animating<br />
the history of black thought. Sarah Jane Cervenak’s devoted study of the<br />
disruption of linearity, from David Walker to Gayl Jones, from Harriet Jacobs<br />
to William Pope.L challenges and allows us to understand that the errand<br />
of blackness is a wandering whose origin and end are dislocation, where<br />
the new thing awaits.”—FRED MOTEN, author of B Jenkins<br />
FIGHTING FOR <br />
RECOGNITION<br />
In Fighting for Recognition, R. Tyson<br />
Smith enters the world of independent<br />
professional wrestling,<br />
a community-based entertainment<br />
staged in community centers, highschool<br />
gyms, and other modest<br />
venues. Like the big-name, televised<br />
pro-wrestlers who originally inspired<br />
them, indie wrestlers engage in choreographed<br />
fights in character. Smith<br />
IDENTITY, MASCULINITY, AND THE ACT OF<br />
VIOLENCE IN PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING details the experiences, meanings,<br />
and motivations of the young men<br />
R. TYSON SMITH<br />
who wrestle as “Lethal” or “Southern<br />
Bad Boy,” despite receiving little-tono<br />
pay and risking the possibility of serious and sometimes permanent<br />
injury. Exploring intertwined issues of gender, class, violence, and<br />
the body, he sheds new light on the changing sources of identity in<br />
a postindustrial society that increasingly features low wages, insecure<br />
employment, and fragmented social support. Smith uncovers the<br />
tensions between strength and vulnerability, pain and solidarity, and<br />
homophobia and homoeroticism that play out both backstage and in<br />
the ring as the wrestlers seek recognition from fellow performers and<br />
devoted fans.<br />

WANDER I NG<br />
Philosophical Performances of<br />
Racial and Sexual Freedom<br />
Sarah Jane Cervenak<br />
Combining black feminist theory,<br />
philosophy, and performance studies,<br />
Sarah Jane Cervenak ruminates<br />
on the significance of physical and<br />
mental roaming for black freedom.<br />
She is particularly interested in the<br />
power of wandering or daydreaming<br />
for those whose mobility has been<br />
under severe constraint, from the<br />
slave era to the present. Since the<br />
Enlightenment, wandering has been<br />
considered dangerous and even criminal<br />
when associated with people of<br />
color. Cervenak engages artist-philosophers<br />
who focus on wayward movement and daydreaming, or mental<br />
travel, that transcend state-imposed limitations on physical, geographic<br />
movement. From Sojourner Truth’s spiritual and physical roaming to the<br />
rambling protagonist of Gayl Jones’s novel Mosquito, Cervenak highlights<br />
modes of wandering that subvert Enlightenment-based protocols<br />
of rationality, composure, and upstanding comportment. Turning to the<br />
artists William Pope.L, Adrian Piper, and Carrie Mae Weems, Cervenak<br />
argues that their work produces an otherworldly movement, an errant<br />
kinesis that exceeds locomotive constraints, resisting the straighteningout<br />
processes of post-Enlightenment, white-supremacist, capitalist,<br />
sexist, and heteronormative modernity. Their roaming animates another<br />
terrain, one where free, black movement is not necessarily connected<br />
to that which can be seen, touched, known, and materially valued.<br />

Skin Acts<br />
Race, Psychoanalysis,<br />
and the Black Male Performer<br />

Black Atlas<br />
Geography and Flow in<br />
Nineteenth-Century African American Literature<br />
judith madera<br />
“Michelle Ann Stephens has written a book that anyone interested in race<br />
and psychoanalysis will want to pay attention to, and one that even those<br />
who do not consider themselves interested in the topic will have to pay<br />
attention to. She has taken the most immediate and seemingly obvious site<br />
of racialization, the skin, and given it a revelatory new genealogy. She sets<br />
the standard for all future engagements with what Frantz Fanon termed<br />
‘epidermalization.’ Through arresting readings of modern and contemporary<br />
art and performance, Stephens unfolds the racializing and engendering<br />
of skin within modernity, and makes a powerful argument for reading<br />
it through the lens of feminist, antiracist, and haptic visuality.”—TAVIA<br />
NYONG’O, author of The Amalgamation Waltz: Race, Performance, and<br />
the Ruses of Memory<br />
In Skin Acts, Michelle Ann Stephens<br />
Skin Acts<br />
michelle ann stephens<br />
race, psychoanalysis,<br />
and the black male performer<br />
explores the work of four iconic<br />
twentieth-century black male performers—Bert<br />
Williams, Paul Robeson,<br />
Harry Belafonte, and Bob Marley—to<br />
reveal how racial and sexual difference<br />
is both marked by and experienced<br />
in the skin. She situates each figure<br />
within his cultural moment, examining<br />
his performance in the context of<br />
contemporary race relations and<br />
visual regimes. Drawing on Lacanian<br />
psychoanalysis and performance<br />
theory, Stephens contends that while<br />
black skin is subject to what Frantz Fanon called the epidermalizing<br />
and hardening effects of the gaze, it is in the flesh that other—intersubjective,<br />
pre-discursive, and sensuous—forms of knowing take place<br />
between artist and audience. Analyzing a wide range of visual, musical,<br />
and textual sources, Stephens shows that black subjectivity and performativity<br />
are structured by the tension between skin and flesh, sight<br />
and touch, difference and sameness.<br />
“In Black Atlas Judith Madera shows how the shifting territory comprising<br />
the nation and the even more fluid relation of African Americans to that<br />
evolving terrain enabled the writing of such key figures such as Martin<br />
Delany, William Wells Brown, and Pauline Hopkins. In so doing, Madera<br />
provides an important contribution to African American literary criticism;<br />
the expanding corpus of material focused on territoriality, transnationalism,<br />
and empire; and our understanding of the rise of the novel in the<br />
Americas.”—CAROLINE F. LEVANDER, author of Where is American<br />
Literature<br />
Black Atlas presents definitive new approaches to black geography.<br />
It focuses attention on the dynamic relationship between place and<br />
African American literature during the long nineteenth century,<br />
a volatile epoch of national expansion that gave rise to the Civil War,<br />
Reconstruction, Pan-Americanism, and the black novel. Judith Madera<br />
argues that spatial reconfiguration was a critical concern for the era’s<br />
black writers, especially in response to legacies of containment and<br />
territorialization. But she also demonstrates how the possibility for<br />
new modes of representation could be found in the radical redistricting<br />
of space.<br />
In a series of impressive readings, Madera reveals how crucial geography<br />
was to the genre-bending works of writers such as William Wells<br />
Brown, Martin Delany, James Beckwourth, Pauline Hopkins, Charles<br />
Chesnutt, and Alice Dunbar-Nelson. These authors intervened in major<br />
nineteenth-century debates about free soil, regional production, Indian<br />
deterritorialization, internal diasporas, pan-American expansionism,<br />
and hemispheric circuitry. They staged spaces as multimodal, as sites<br />
for creative dissent and invention. Black geographies stood in for what<br />
was at stake in negotiating a shared world. Black Atlas shows how the<br />
rethinking of place and scale can galvanize the study of black literature.<br />

“These are the voices of the beating heart of Kanaka Maoli resistance to the<br />
usurpation of Hawaiian land and nationhood. Strong words by good minds,<br />
the book is at once an honest reflection on the Hawaiian struggle and<br />
a motivating call to action to protect the land and waters and heritage. It<br />

to the literature of Indigenous resurgence.”—TAIAIAKE ALFRED<br />

“Colonial Genocide in Indigenous North America is one of the best anthologies<br />
I have read in the field of American Indian and Indigenous studies.<br />
Within North American history, few have seriously tackled the central question<br />
of this anthology: to what extent were Indigenous-settler relations<br />
genocidal The failure of U.S. and Canadian scholars to address this question<br />
in a deep and sustained way makes this insightful collection particularly<br />
timely and important.”—NED BLACKHAWK, author of Violence over<br />

This important collection of essays expands the geographic, demographic,<br />
and analytic scope of the term genocide to encompass<br />
the effects of colonialism and settler colonialism in North America.<br />
Colonists made multiple and interconnected attempts to destroy<br />
Indigenous peoples as groups. The contributors examine these efforts<br />
through the lens of genocide. Considering some of the most destructive<br />
aspects of the colonization and subsequent settlement of North<br />
America, several essays address Indigenous boarding school systems<br />
imposed by both the Canadian and U.S. governments in attempts to<br />
“civilize” or “assimilate” Indigenous children. Contributors examine<br />
some of the most egregious assaults on Indigenous peoples and<br />
the natural environment, including massacres, land appropriation, the<br />
spread of disease, the near-extinction of the buffalo, and forced political<br />
restructuring of Indigenous communities. Assessing the record of<br />
these appalling events, the contributors maintain that North Americans<br />
must reckon with colonial and settler colonial attempts to annihilate<br />
Indigenous peoples.<br />

Portrait of a Young Painter<br />
Pepe Zúñiga and Mexico City’s Rebel Generation<br />
mary kay vaughan<br />
“Portrait of a Young Painter is one of the most original and engaging books<br />
I have read in a long time. It is dazzling in its layers of perception, its<br />
textures, and its intimate insights. It is genuinely original in both argument<br />
and methodology, a remarkable work and a pleasure to read.”—BARBARA<br />
WEINSTEIN, coeditor of The Making of the Middle Class: Toward a<br />
Transnational History<br />
In Portrait of a Young Painter, the<br />
distinguished historian Mary Kay<br />
Vaughan adopts a biographical<br />
approach to understanding the<br />
culture surrounding the Mexico<br />
City youth rebellion of the 1960s.<br />
Her chronicle of the life of painter<br />
Pepe Zúñiga counters a literature<br />
that portrays post-1940 Mexican<br />
history as a series of uprisings<br />
against state repression, injustice,<br />
and social neglect that culminated<br />
in the student protests of<br />
1968. Rendering Zúñiga’s coming<br />
José Zúñiga, Self-portrait, 1968. Courtesy of<br />

the artist.<br />
politics, Vaughan depicts midcentury<br />
Mexico City as a culture of growing prosperity, state largesse,<br />
and a vibrant, transnationally informed public life that produced a<br />
multifaceted youth movement brimming with creativity and criticism<br />
of convention. In an analysis encompassing the mass media, schools,<br />
politics, family, sexuality, neighborhoods, and friendships, she subtly<br />
invokes theories of discourse, phenomenology, and affect to examine<br />
the formation of Zúñiga’s persona in the decades leading up to 1968.<br />
By discussing the influences that shaped his worldview, she historicizes<br />
the process of subject formation and shows how doing so offers new<br />
perspectives on the events of 1968.<br />

The Great Depression in Latin America<br />
paulo drinot & alan knight, editors<br />
“In The Great Depression in Latin America, leading Latin Americanists<br />
address an important and timely topic from new perspectives, paying more<br />
attention to the cultural and social repercussions of the Depression in Latin<br />
America than have previous studies. A number of the essays take strong<br />
revisionist stands that will garner a lot of attention, and Paulo Drinot’s<br />
introduction and Alan Knight’s conclusion do a wonderful job of framing<br />
and enhancing the already strong essays.”—STEVEN TOPIK, coeditor of<br />
From Silver to Cocaine: Latin American Commodity Chains and the Building<br />
of the World Economy, 1500–2000<br />
Although Latin America weathered the Great Depression better than the<br />
United States and Europe, the global economic collapse of the 1930s<br />
had a deep and lasting impact on the region. The contributors to this<br />
book examine the consequences of the Depression in terms of the role<br />
of the state, party-political competition, and the formation of workingclass<br />
and other social and political movements. Going beyond economic<br />
history, they chart the repercussions and policy responses in different<br />
countries, while noting common cross-regional trends, in particular,<br />
a mounting critique of economic orthodoxy and greater state intervention<br />
in the economic, social, and cultural spheres, both trends crucial<br />
to the region’s subsequent development. The book also examines<br />
how regional transformations interacted with and differed from global<br />
processes. Taken together, these essays deepen our understanding of<br />
the Great Depression as a formative experience in Latin America and<br />
provide a timely comparative perspective on the recent global economic<br />
crisis.<br />

The Vanguard of the Atlantic World<br />
Creating Modernity, Nation, and Democracy<br />

“The Vanguard of the Atlantic World is a fundamental contribution not<br />
only to our understanding of nineteenth-century Latin America, but also<br />
to the broader scholarly debate about the origins of modern democratic<br />
republicanism. James E. Sanders argues that in the nineteenth century<br />
Spanish America was the most democratic region of the world. In so<br />
doing, he rejects claims that Latin America has always stood on the<br />
margins of democratic culture and modernity, and he speaks directly to<br />
current debates about the relationship between capitalism, modernity,<br />
and democracy.”—REBECCA EARLE, author of The Return of the Native:<br />
Indians and Mythmaking in Spanish America, 1810–1930<br />
“In this fascinating study, Eileen J. Suárez Findlay reinterprets Puerto<br />
Rican history in the mid-twentieth century by placing labor migration,<br />
populist politics, and gender at the heart of her narrative. Thousands of<br />
Puerto Rican migrant workers, seeking modernity and an escape from<br />
the harsh colonialism on their home island, journeyed to sugar beet fields<br />
in Michigan. There they found exploitation harsher than they had known.<br />
Findlay eloquently explores their travels and travails and shows how<br />
they reshaped both U.S. colonialism and Puerto Rican populism.”—JULIE<br />

James e. sanders<br />
In the nineteenth century, Latin<br />
America was home to the majority<br />
of the world’s democratic republics.<br />
Many historians have dismissed<br />
these political experiments as<br />
corrupt pantomimes of governments<br />
of Western Europe and the United<br />
States. Challenging that perspective,<br />
James E. Sanders contends that Latin<br />
America in this period was a site of<br />
genuine political innovation and popular<br />
debate reflecting Latin Americans’<br />
visions of modernity. Drawing on<br />
archival sources in Mexico, Colombia,<br />
and Uruguay, Sanders traces the circulation of political discourse and<br />
democratic practice among urban elites, rural peasants, European immigrants,<br />
slaves, and freed blacks to show how and why ideas of liberty,<br />
democracy, and universalism gained widespread purchase across the<br />
region, mobilizing political consciousness and solidarity among diverse<br />
constituencies. In doing so, Sanders reframes the locus and meaning of<br />
political and cultural modernity.<br />

University. He is the author of Contentious Republicans: Popular Politics,<br />

We Are Left without a Father Here is a transnational history of working<br />
people’s struggles and a gendered analysis of populism and colonialism<br />
in mid-twentieth-century Puerto Rico. At its core are the thousands of<br />
agricultural workers who, at the behest of the Puerto Rican government,<br />
migrated to Michigan in 1950 to work in the state’s sugar beet fields.<br />
The men expected to earn enough income to finally become successful<br />
breadwinners and fathers. To their dismay, the men encountered<br />
abysmal working conditions and pay. The migrant workers in Michigan<br />
and their wives in Puerto Rico soon exploded in protest. Chronicling<br />
the protests, the surprising alliances that they created, and the Puerto<br />
Rican government’s response, Eileen J. Suárez Findlay explains that<br />
notions of fatherhood and domesticity were central to Puerto Rican<br />
populist politics. Patriarchal ideals shaped citizens’ understandings<br />
of themselves, their relationship to Puerto Rican leaders and the state,<br />
as well as the meanings they ascribed to U.S. colonialism. Findlay<br />
argues that the motivations and strategies for transnational labor<br />
migrations, colonial policies, and worker solidarities are all deeply<br />
gendered.<br />

The Invention of the Brazilian Northeast<br />
durval muniz de albuquerque jr.<br />
With a Foreword by James N. Green<br />
Translated by Jerry Dennis Metz<br />
“In this modern classic of Brazilian cultural history, Durval Muniz de<br />
Albuquerque Jr. provides a richly documented and theoretically illuminating<br />
exploration of how the most ‘regional’ of all Brazilian regions has<br />
been imagined, indeed ‘invented,’ as a space of alterity, poverty, and<br />
authenticity during the past century. In doing so, he reveals the discursive<br />
production of regions, the relations of power that produce them, and<br />
the stereotypes that make them recognizable to a national audience.”<br />

Rhythms of the Pachakuti<br />
Indigenous Uprising and State Power in Bolivia<br />
raquel gutiérrez aguilar<br />
With a Foreword by Sinclair Thomson<br />
Translated by Stacey Alba D. Skar<br />
“This wonderful book is both a detailed historical account of the 2000–2005<br />
uprisings in Bolivia and a significant theoretical intervention into central<br />
contemporary questions about political action and revolution. In particular,<br />
Raquel Gutiérrez Aguilar emphasizes the profound significance of indigenous<br />
social organization and worldviews for the contemporary political<br />
struggles in Bolivia and elsewhere.”—MICHAEL HARDT, coauthor of<br />
Empire, Multitude, Commonwealth, and Declaration<br />
Brazil’s Northeast has traditionally been considered one of the country’s<br />
poorest and most underdeveloped areas. In this impassioned work,<br />
the Brazilian historian Durval Muniz de Albuquerque Jr. investigates<br />
why Northeasterners are marginalized and stereotyped not only by<br />
inhabitants of other parts of Brazil but also by nordestinos themselves.<br />
His broader question, though, is how “the Northeast” came into existence.<br />
Tracing the history of its invention, he finds that the idea of<br />
the Northeast was formed in the early twentieth century when elites<br />
around Brazil became preoccupied with building a nation. Diverse<br />
phenomena—from drought policies to messianic movements, banditry<br />
to new regional political blocs—helped to consolidate this novel concept,<br />
the Northeast. Politicians, intellectuals, writers, and artists, often<br />
nordestinos, played key roles in making the region cohere as a space of<br />
common references and concerns. Ultimately, Albuqerque urges historians<br />
to question received notions, such as regions and regionalism, to<br />
reveal their artifice and abandon static categories in favor of new, more<br />
granular understandings.<br />

RHYTHMS OF THE PACHAKUTI<br />
Indigenous Uprising and State Power in Bolivia<br />
RAQUEL GUTIÉRREZ AGUILAR<br />
with a foreword by sinclair thomson<br />
In the indigenous Andean language<br />
of Aymara, pachakuti refers to the<br />
subversion and transformation<br />
of social relations. Between 2000<br />
and 2005, Bolivia was radically<br />
transformed by a series of popular<br />
indigenous uprisings against the country’s<br />
neoliberal and antidemocratic<br />
policies. In Rhythms of the Pachakuti,<br />
Raquel Gutiérrez Aguilar documents<br />
these mass collective actions, tracing<br />
the internal dynamics of such disruptions<br />
to consider how motivation and<br />
execution incite political change.<br />
“In Rhythms of the Pachakuti we can sense the reverberations of an extraordinary<br />
historical process that took place in Bolivia at the start of the<br />
twenty-first century. The book is the product of Raquel Gutiérrez Aguilar’s<br />
political engagement in that historical process. . . . Though of Mexican<br />
nationality, [she] was intimately involved in Bolivian politics for many years<br />
and acquired a quasi-legendary status there as an intense, brilliant activist<br />
and radical intellectual. . . . [Her account is] . . . itself a revolutionary document.<br />
. . . Rhythms of the Pachakuti deserves to stand as a key text in the<br />
international literature of radicalism and emancipatory politics in the new<br />
century.”—SINCLAIR THOMSON, from the foreword<br />

Prostitution and the Ends of Empire<br />
Scale, Governmentalities, and Interwar India<br />
stephen legg<br />
“Prostitution and the Ends of Empire deftly reveals that the attack on the<br />
brothel in interwar Delhi was more than just a city-specific act, but rather<br />
demonstrated the power of international, imperial, and local networks.<br />
Using Foucault’s and Agamben’s work Stephen Legg persuasively shows<br />
the reimagining of the brothel as a space of danger that required its<br />
suppression. Legg’s use of scalar analysis is carefully constructed and<br />
brilliantly conclusive. This is an important and original reading of colonial<br />
prostitution.”—PHILIPPA LEVINE, author of The British Empire: Sunrise<br />
to Sunset<br />
•<br />

stephen legg<br />
prostitution and<br />
the e nds of e mpire<br />
geography<br />
Officially confined to red-light<br />
districts, brothels in British India were<br />
tolerated until the 1920s. Yet, by<br />
this time, prostitution reform campaigns<br />
led by Indian, imperial, and<br />
international bodies were combining<br />
the social scientific insights of<br />
sexology and hygiene with the moral<br />
condemnations of sexual slavery and<br />
human trafficking. These reformers<br />
identified the brothel as exacerbating<br />
rather than containing “corrupting<br />
prostitutes” and the threat of<br />
venereal diseases, and therefore<br />
encouraged the suppression of brothels rather than their urban segregation.<br />
In this book, Stephen Legg tracks the complex spatial politics<br />
surrounding brothels in the interwar period at multiple scales, including<br />
the local, regional, national, imperial, and global. Campaigns and state<br />
policies against brothels did not just operate at different scales but<br />
made scales themselves, forging new urban, provincial, colonial, and<br />
international formations. In so doing, they also remade the boundary<br />
between the state and the social, through which the prostitute was,<br />
Legg concludes, “civilly abandoned.”<br />

German Colonialism in a Global Age<br />
bradley naranch & geoff eley, editors<br />
“This landmark collection showcases the latest research in many areas<br />
of German colonialism. As a state-of-the-art expression of a vibrant field,<br />
German Colonialism in a Global Age will set a new benchmark and become<br />
a standard reference.”—A. DIRK MOSES, author of German Intellectuals<br />
and the Nazi Past<br />
history<br />
This collection provides a comprehensive treatment of the German colonial<br />
empire and its significance. Leading scholars show not only how the<br />
colonies influenced metropolitan life and the character of German politics<br />
during the Bismarckian and Wilhelmine eras (1871–1918), but also<br />
how colonial mentalities and practices shaped later histories during<br />
the Nazi era. In introductory essays, editors Bradley Naranch and Geoff<br />
Eley survey the historiography and broad developments in the imperial<br />
imaginary of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Contributors then<br />
examine diverse particular aspects, from science and the colonial state<br />
to the disciplinary constructions of Africans as colonial subjects for<br />
German administrative control. They consider the influence of imperialism<br />
on German society and culture via the mass-marketing of imperial<br />
imagery; conceptions of racial superiority in German pedagogy; and<br />
the influence of colonialism on German anti-Semitism. The collection<br />
concludes with several essays that address geopolitics and the broader<br />
impact of the German imperial experience.<br />

Body and Nation<br />
The Global Realm of U.S. Body Politics<br />
in the Twentieth Century<br />
emily s. rosenberg &<br />
shanon fitzpatrick, editors<br />
“This unusually synthetic and well-conceived volume covers historical and<br />
contemporary situations in which the bodies of civilians, combatants, and<br />
those defined as outsiders are managed, mobilized, and politically tethered<br />
to broad nationalist and imperial projects ‘at home’ and ‘abroad.’ In attending<br />
to the details of bodily care and coercion, the contributors ask why,<br />
how, and when bodies matter, demonstrating the blur between technologies<br />
of war and ever more sophisticated forms of peacetime surveillance.<br />
Taken together, their essays show that we need to know more about whose<br />
bodies count in the changing landscape of national security and imperial<br />
governance and in the embattled space between ‘care’ and ‘control.’”<br />
—ANN LAURA STOLER, editor of Imperial Debris: On Ruins and Ruination<br />

and nonstate actors, the contributors provide<br />
historically grounded insights into the<br />
transnational dimensions of biopolitics. Their subjects range from the<br />
regulation of prostitution in the Philippines by the U.S. Army to Cold War<br />
ideals of American feminine beauty, and from “body counts” as metrics<br />
of military success to cultural representations of Mexican migrants in<br />
the United States as public health threats. By considering bodies as<br />
complex, fluctuating, and interrelated sites of meaning, the contributors<br />
to this collection offer new insights into the workings of both soft and<br />
hard power.<br />

Ten Books That Shaped the British Empire<br />
Creating an Imperial Commons<br />
antoinette burton & isabel hofmeyr, editors<br />
“The new critical history of empire and the freshly theorized transnational<br />
history of the book are together at last, each enhancing the other in a<br />
superb collection edited by the leading scholars in studies of the British<br />
world. Neither ‘book’ nor ‘empire’ is a straightforward idea. Focusing<br />
on ten influential works, the editors and contributors show how readers<br />
appropriated ideas as they circulated—often without regard for intellectual<br />
property—in periodical, pamphlet and volume forms.”—LESLIE HOWSAM,<br />
author of Past into Print: The Publishing of History in Britain 1850–1950<br />
Combining insights from imperial studies and transnational book<br />
history, this provocative collection opens new vistas on both fields<br />
through ten accessible essays, each devoted to a single book.<br />
Contributors revisit well-known works associated with the British empire,<br />
including Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, Thomas Macaulay’s History of<br />
England, Charles Pearson’s National Life and Character, and Robert<br />
Baden-Powell’s Scouting for Boys. They explore anticolonial texts in<br />
which authors such as C. L. R. James and Mohandas K. Gandhi chipped<br />
away at the foundations of imperial authority, and they introduce books<br />
that may be less familiar to students of empire. Taken together, the<br />
essays reveal the dynamics of what the editors call an “imperial commons,”<br />
a lively, empire-wide print culture. They show that neither empire<br />
nor book were stable, self-evident constructs. Each helped to legitimize<br />
the other.<br />

MIT and the Transformation<br />
of American Economics<br />
e. roy weintraub, editor<br />
a supplement to HISTORY OF POLITICAL ECONOMY<br />
MIT and the Transformation of American Economics seeks to remedy<br />
historians’ neglect of the influential and luminary economics department<br />
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The department, bolstered<br />
by an influx of innovative young scholars, was one of the most distinguished<br />
research economics departments in North America by the late<br />
1950s. In another decade it would become the most highly regarded<br />
economics department in the world. This volume documents the history<br />
of this process and the ways in which MIT’s rise to prominence coincided<br />
with the remarkable transformation of American economics in the postwar<br />
period. Many developments influenced this history: the Keynesian<br />
revolution, the emergent technical nature of economics, the Cold War,<br />
the international hold of American economics, the GI Bill, and the institution’s<br />

tHis reader brings togetHer more than 200 texts and images in a<br />
broad introduction to Guatemala’s history, culture, and politics. In choosing<br />
the selections, the editors sought to avoid representing the country only in<br />
terms of its long experience of conflict, racism, and violence. And so, while<br />
offering many perspectives on that violence, this anthology portrays Guatemala<br />
as a real place where people experience joys and sorrows that cannot<br />
be reduced to the contretemps of resistance and repression. It includes<br />
not only the opinions of politicians, activists, and scholars, but also poems,<br />
songs, plays, jokes, novels, short stories, recipes, art, and photographs that<br />
capture the diversity of everyday life in Guatemala. The editors introduce<br />
all of the selections, from the first piece, an excerpt from the Popol vuh, a<br />
mid-sixteenth-century text believed to be the single most important source<br />
documenting pre-Hispanic Maya culture, through the final selections, which<br />
explore contemporary Guatemala in relation to neoliberalism, multiculturalism,<br />
and the dynamics of migration to the United States and of immigrant<br />
life. Many pieces were originally published in Spanish, and most of those appear<br />
in English for the first time.<br />
“The Guatemala Reader is captivating both because Guatemalan history is so<br />
compelling, and because the editors have done a fantastic job of choosing<br />
the texts and images to include. Their selections offer great variety in terms<br />
of vision, perspective, and genre, and their introductions to those pieces are<br />
uniformly superb.”—steve striffler, co-editor of The Ecuador Reader:<br />
History, Culture, Politics<br />
“This excellent and comprehensive collection of historical and contemporary<br />
materials about Guatemala is a seminal addition to the literature. It is brilliantly<br />

The Sri Lanka Reader is a sweeping introduction to the epic history of the<br />
island nation located just off the southern tip of India. The island’s recorded<br />
history of more than two and a half millennia encompasses waves of immigration<br />
from the South Asian subcontinent, the formation of Sinhala Buddhist<br />
and Tamil Hindu civilizations, the arrival of Arab Muslim traders, and<br />
European colonization by the Portuguese, then the Dutch, and finally the<br />
British. Selected texts depict perceptions of the country’s multiple linguistic<br />
and religious communities, as well as its political travails after independence<br />
in 1948, especially the ethnic violence that recurred from the 1950s until 2009,<br />
when the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam were defeated by the Sri Lankan<br />
government’s armed forces. This wide-ranging anthology covers the aboriginal<br />
Veddhas, the earliest known inhabitants of the island; the Kings of Kandy,<br />
Sri Lanka’s last indigenous dynasty; twenty-first-century women who leave<br />
the island to work as housemaids in the Middle East; the forty thousand Sri<br />
Lankans killed by the tsunami in December 2004; and, through cutting-edge<br />
journalism and heart-wrenching poetry, the protracted violence that has<br />
scarred the country’s contemporary political history. Along with fifty-four images<br />
of paintings, sculptures, and architecture, The Sri Lanka Reader includes<br />
more than ninety classic and contemporary texts written by Sri Lankans and<br />
foreigners.<br />

“The Sri Lanka Reader is unprecedented. Never before has there been a book<br />
so synoptic in its treatment of Sri Lankan history, politics, and culture. The<br />
overall organization, the selections chosen for inclusion, and the introductions<br />
to the individual pieces are all of the highest order. This book will be<br />
welcomed by specialists in Sri Lankan studies, as well as the more general,<br />
educated reader.”—roger r. JaCkson, John W. Nason Professor of Asian<br />
Studies and Religion, Carleton College<br />
“John Holt’s The Sri Lanka Reader gives many insights into contemporary Sri<br />
Lanka while providing an in-depth picture of its rich history. Holt effectively<br />
weaves together documents, analytical accounts, photographs, and poetic<br />
works to produce a balanced work that is consistent in quality and readability<br />
despite accommodating many viewpoints. It is a book that you will return to<br />
time and again. It will undoubtedly become the standard collection of documents<br />
on Sri Lanka and its history.”—Chandra r. de silva, author of Sri<br />
Lanka: A History<br />
