PHOTOGRAPHY
Delta Deep Down
Photographs by Jane Rule Burdine
Edited by Wendy McDaris
Introduction by Steve Yarbrough
“The image that Jane Rule’s book both begins and ends on is
haunting precisely because it captures the past that’s always
lurking within the Delta’s present. There is something surreal,
almost Kafkaesque on display here. A farmer with his back to us
drives a tractor straight ahead on a lonely dirt road. Big woods
loom on the left. On the right, at the edge of a field of cotton,
a grey-clad horseman moves in the opposite direction, a ghost
returning to history.”
—Steve Yarbrough, from the introduction
T
The Mississippi Delta evokes mystery, beauty, and hardship in equal
measures. Its haunted fields, turbulent history, and resilient people have
fueled countless songs, tales, and literary works, and its presence resonates
strongly in the construction of the American South.
In Delta Deep Down, photographer Jane Rule Burdine captures the
region with clarity and warmth. Since the early 1970s, Burdine has used
the Delta as her muse, traversing and documenting the ever-changing
landscape in color photographs. These powerful images reflect how the
Delta and its citizens have responded to each other, and how each has in
turn been changed. Weatherbeaten shacks, cotton and soybean fields,
industrial equipment, people at work and play, and cloud-draped, endless
horizons are all seen through Burdine’s lens. The Delta’s past and
present mingle in every photograph of the inhabitants—black and white,
young and old, rich and poor—in moments of contemplation, hard work,
and joyous revelry.
Novelist and Indianola native Steve Yarbrough offers a touching, personal
introduction that explores how Burdine’s photographs reveal the
place he once called home, and how, through her photographs, the hold
this fertile ground claims on his heart is reinforced. Delta Deep Down
offers an unforgettable portrait of a quintessential Mississippi place and
the people who abide in it.
Wendy McDaris provides historical context and locates Burdine’s
work among current trends in fine art photography.
Photographs that capture the land, people, and
ever-present spirits of the Mississippi Delta
Jane Rule Burdine is a photographer based in Taylor, Mississippi.
Wendy McDaris is a curator/cultural critic living in upstate New York
and editor/essayist for Visualizing the Blues: Photographs of the
American South, among other art catalogs. Steve Yarbrough is the

COOKING | LOUISIANA
You Are Where You Eat
Stories and Recipes from the
Neighborhoods of New Orleans
Elsa Hahne
A tour of the delectable and
original from renowned home
cooks in the Crescent City
E
Eating and cooking well
are not just industries
but ways of life for all
New Orleans. Writer and
photographer Elsa Hahne
has visited the kitchens
of thirty-three of New
Orleans’s home cooks
and raconteurs and has
served up an expansive
smorgasbord inspired by
this vibrant city’s love affair
with food.
Almost every cultural
group that has made its
mark on New Orleans
is represented in these
pages: Creole, African
American, Native American,
Isleño, German, Cajun,
Italian, Irish, Greek,
Hungarian, Croatian, Cuban,
Honduran, Mexican,
Indian, Filipino, Chinese,
Vietnamese, and more.
With thirty-three first-person accounts and over one hundred
black-and-white and full-color photographs, You Are Where You
Eat proves that the local population remains as passionate about
cooking after the hurricanes of 2005 as at any time before. Among
the eighty-five recipes are such classic New Orleans dishes as red
beans and rice, catfish court bouillon, crawfish bisque, filé gumbo,
grillades, and daube glacé, but also more recent arrivals to local
tables: yakamein, pork tamales, crawfish samosas, and Vietnamese
spring rolls.
Elsa Hahne is the creator of the touring exhibit You Are WHERE
You Eat—Stories and Recipes from the Crescent City, which was
supported by the Louisiana Division of the Arts and the Louisiana
Endowment for the Humanities. Her work has appeared in numerous
international magazines and newspapers.

New Orleans Cuisine
Fourteen Signature Dishes and Their Histories
Edited by Susan Tucker

With contributions from Karen Leathem, Patricia Kennedy
Livingston, Michael Mizell-Nelson, Cynthia LeJeune Nobles,
Sharon Stallworth Nossiter, Sara Roahen, and Susan Tucker
N
New Orleans Cuisine: Fourteen Signature Dishes and Their Histories
provides essays on the unparalleled recognition New Orleans
has achieved as the Mecca of mealtime. Devoting each chapter to
a signature cocktail, appetizer, sandwich, main course, staple, or
dessert, contributors from the New Orleans Culinary Collective
plate up the essence of the Big Easy through its number one export:
great cooking. This book views the city’s cuisine as a whole,
forgetting none of its flavorful ethnic influences—French, African
American, German, Italian, Spanish, and more.
In servings of such well-recognized foods as shrimp remoulade,
Creole tomato salad, turtle soup, and bread pudding, contributors
explore a broad range of issues. Essays consider the history of
refrigeration and ice in the
city, famous restaurants,
cooking schools, and the
differences between Cajun
and Creole cuisines.
Biographical sketches of
New Orleans’s luminaries—including
Mary Land,
Corinne Dunbar, and Lena
Richard—give personality to the stories. Recipes for each dish or
beverage, drawn from historical cookbooks and contemporary
chefs, complete the package.
New Orleans Cuisine shows how ingredients, ethnicities, cooks,
chefs, and consumers all converged over time to make the city a culinary
capital.
Susan Tucker is curator of books and records at the Newcomb Center
for Research on Women at Tulane University. S. Frederick Starr
is chair of the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute at Johns Hopkins
University and the author of many books on New Orleans and
Louisiana.

Accordion Dreams
A Journey into Cajun and Creole Music
Blair Kilpatrick
TRAVEL | MUSIC
Blues Traveling
The Holy Sites of Delta Blues, Third Edition
Steve Cheseborough
An outsider’s account of her
transformative obsession with
Louisiana’s joyous music
BBy age thirty-nine, Blair
Kilpatrick had settled into
life as a practicing psychologist,
wife, and mother.
Then a chance encounter
in New Orleans turned her
world upside down. She
returned home to Chicago
with unlikely new passions
for Cajun music and its
defining instrument, the
accordion. Captivated by
recurring dreams of playing
the Cajun accordion,
she set out to master it.
Yet she was not a musician,
was too self-conscious to
dance, and didn’t even sing
in the shower.
Kilpatrick’s obsession
took her from Chicago’s
Cajun dance scene to a
folk music camp in West
Virginia, back and forth
to south Louisiana, and
even to a Cajun festival in
France. An unexpected family move brought her to the San Francisco
Bay Area, home to the largest Cajun-zydeco music scene
outside the Gulf Coast. There she became a protégé of renowned
accordionist Danny Poullard, a Louisiana-born Creole and the
guiding spirit of the local Louisiana French music community.
Engaging, uplifting, and illuminating a unique patch of the
American cultural landscape, Accordion Dreams is Kilpatrick’s account
of the possibility of passion, risk-taking, and change—at any
age.
Blair Kilpatrick has an independent practice in psychotherapy in the
San Francisco Bay Area. She also performs and records with Sauce
Piquante, a traditional Cajun-Creole band she founded in the late
1990s.

“Providing excellent maps

homes, and gravesites of famous
blues musicians, buildings
where they played, radio
stations, sites of music festivals,
and current clubs and restaurants that feature the music.
Essential.” —Library Journal
TThis acclaimed travel guide, hailed as the Bible of blues travelers
throughout the world, will shepherd the faithful to such shrines as
the intersection where Robert Johnson might have made his deal
with the devil and the railroad tracks that inspired Howlin’ Wolf to
moan “Smokestack Lightnin’. ” Blues Traveling was the first and is
the indisputably essential guidebook to Mississippi’s musical places
and its blues history. For this new edition Steve Cheseborough returned
to the Delta, revisited all of the locales featured in previous
editions of the book, and uncovered fresh destinations. He includes
updated material on new festivals, state blues markers, club openings
and closings, and many other transformations in the Delta’s
ever-lively blues scene.
With photographs, maps, easy-to-follow directions, and an informative,
entertaining text, this book will lead the reader in and
out of Clarksdale, Greenwood, Helena (Arkansas), Rolling Fork,
Jackson, Memphis, Natchez, Bentonia, Rosedale, Itta Bena, and
dozens of other locales where generations of blues musicians have
lived, traveled, and performed. A previous edition was so effective
and informative that Real Blues told its readers, “This is THE guide
to the Delta; short of living there, it is the best.”

ART | BIOGRAPHY
Barthé
A Life in Sculpture
Margaret Rose Vendryes
Foreword by Jeffrey C. Stewart
R
Richmond Barthé (1909–1989) was the first modern African
American sculptor to achieve real critical success. His accessible
naturalism led to unprecedented celebrity for an artist during the
1930s and 1940s. After four years of academic training at the School
of the Art Institute of Chicago, Barthé reaped the benefits of the
1920s New Negro Arts Renaissance. He also endured difficulties as
a gay, Roman Catholic, Creole sculptor working during the nation’s
post–World War II era. He gave his black subjects in particular an
intensity and sensuality that attracted important European American
patrons and the press.
Much of Barthé’s biography is recorded here for the first time in
tandem with analyses and interpretations of his sculpture. Born to
Creole parents in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, Barthé’s art brought him
out of poverty. At the height of his fame, he was often criticized for
not talking about injustices African Americans faced. He expected
his art to speak not only for itself, but also for him. He fled the
United States for an expatriate’s life in Jamaica only to learn that,
as an artist and a black man, he could not be accepted on his own
terms, and there was no such thing as a perfect home. Barthé: A Life
in Sculpture reveals the breadth of Barthé’s oeuvre through readings
of his figurative masterworks that attest to accomplishments in a life
lived well beyond race.
A celebration of the acclaimed
African American modern sculptor
Independent scholar Margaret Rose Vendryes has taught art history and
African American studies at York College, Princeton University, and
the Graduate Center, City University of New York. She has published
in International Review of African American Art and elsewhere.
Jeffrey C. Stewart, professor of history at George Mason University, is
the author of numerous articles and books, including Paul Robeson:
Artist and Citizen.

On the Wall
Four Decades of Community Murals in New York City
Janet Braun-Reinitz and Jane Weissman
Foreword by Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan
Introduction by Timothy W. Drescher
E
Energizing the visual landscape since 1968, New York City’s community
murals beautify, educate, protest, celebrate, and often motivate
residents to action. Collaborations between artists and neighborhood
groups, these painted walls reflect the social, cultural, and political climate
of their times.
The result of six years of research and hundreds of interviews, On
the Wall brings to light murals that were hitherto “lost” to history or
unknown outside their immediate surroundings. Documenting six
chronological periods, the book highlights significant murals and introduces
the artists and sponsors that created them. In relating the
many fascinating stories behind the murals, the authors describe the
interactions between artists and residents—including the controversies
that have led to the destruction of several notable murals.
On the Wall gathers together 150 color images and offers an aesthetic
perspective on New York’s community murals in a lively and
perceptive history.
A comprehensive survey of New York City’s
vibrant neighborhood art
Janet Braun-Reinitz, a painter and community muralist, is the president

AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES | QUILTS
Crafted Lives
Stories and Studies of African American Quilters
Patricia A. Turner
Foreword by Kyra E. Hicks
I
In Crafted Lives: Stories and Studies of African American Quilters Patricia
A. Turner explores the culture and recent history of African Americans
through the creations and wisdom of nine quilters. Turner profiles
quilters who exemplify the range of black women and men dedicated
to the making of quilts, and she shows how their craftwork establishes
order and meaning in their lives. The artisans comprise eight women
and one man, ranging from teenagers to octogenarians, representing
an array of education and income levels, and living across the United
States, including Alaska.
Turner also probes the ways in which African American quilts and
quilters have been depicted, discussed, criticized, and characterized.
From the displays of Harriet Powers’s creations at the turn of the twentieth
century to the contemporary exhibits of such black art-quilts as
those promoted by Carolyn Mazloomi, and such utilitarian expressions
as the celebrated examples from Gee’s Bend, Alabama, Turner uses
quilts to assess the level of control African Americans have had or have
not had over the materials they craft and the art they leave as legacy to
new generations.
An authoritative account of the powerful bonds between
generations of African American quiltmakers
Patricia A. Turner is professor of African American and African studies
and the vice provost of undergraduate studies at the University
of California, Davis. She is the author of Ceramic Uncles and Celluloid
Mammies: Black Images and Their Influence on Culture among

AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES | PHOTOGRAPHY
Passage on the Underground Railroad
Photographs by Stephen Marc
With contributions from Keith Griffler, Diane Miller,
and Carla Williams
F
For seven years Stephen Marc photographed the routes traveled by fugitive
slaves in their search for freedom, documenting and interpreting
his research along the way. In Passage on the Underground Railroad,
Marc shares the results of these explorations through his thoughtprovoking,
unconventional, and haunting digital images.
Marc uses two types of photographic composites to reveal the
history of the Underground Railroad (UGRR): multiple photographs
that describe UGRR sites and metaphorical montages that address the
larger horror of slavery. Each UGRR site has a story, so individual sites
are portrayed inside and out, using several photographs in combination
to create visual tours. The companion montages evocatively interpret
the South’s “peculiar institution” from which slaves were fleeing.
These multilayered narratives weave together elements from the
landscape of slavery—plantation structures, crop fields, waterways,
tools of bondage and agriculture, merchant tokens and bank note currency,
newspaper articles, and advertisements—along with UGRR site
details, antislavery materials, and contemporary cultural references.
In addition to the eighty-seven distinctive photographic creations
and detailed captions, Passage on the Underground Railroad features
an interview with Stephen Marc by Carla Williams, an essay by Keith
Griffler, and a piece from Diane Miller discussing the historical significance
of the UGRR and the role of the National Park Service’s Network
to Freedom sites, many of which are interpreted in this book.
A photographer’s evocative interpretation of the history
and places along the slave’s path to freedom
Stephen Marc is a professor of art in the Herberger College of Arts
at Arizona State University. A member of the Olympus Visionary
Program, he has published The Black Trans-Atlantic Experience
and Urban Notions. Keith Griffler is associate professor of African
American studies at the University at Buffalo, SUNY. Diane Miller
is the director of the Network to Freedom division of the National
Park Service. Carla Williams is an independent photographer and
writer in San Francisco, and editor of exposure, the journal of the

Arthur Penn
Interviews
Edited by Michael Chaiken and Paul Cronin
“What I search for are
controlled accidents.”
BBeginning in 1957 with the
release of his directorial debut
The Left Handed Gun,
Arthur Penn (b. 1922) quickly
became an iconoclastic
and influential American
film director. Moving deftly
between comedy and tragedy,
realism and absurdity,
his films Mickey One, Bonnie
and Clyde, Alice’s Restaurant,
Little Big Man, and
Night Moves speak to the
troubled times—the 1960s
and 1970s—in which they
were made while remaining
timeless in their unsettling
portrayal of characters on
the margins of society.
Arthur Penn: Interviews
is the first collection to explore
every stage of the director’s
career. These conversations
span forty-five
years, from his first in-depth discussion with Cahiers du cinéma in
1963 to a new interview from 2007, and reveal Penn’s ever-changing
ideas on the nature of film and filmmaking. This volume also
presents newly translated interviews from European film periodicals,
published in English for the first time.
Michael Chaiken of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is director of film
and new media at the Maysles Institute and has published in Film
Comment. Paul Cronin is the founder and director of Sticking Place
Films and lives in London. His books include Herzog on Herzog,
and he edited Alexander Mackendrick’s On Film-Making: An
Introduction to the Craft of the Director.

Jonathan Demme
Interviews
Edited by Robert E. Kapsis
“I consider myself an interpretative
director. If I get turned
on by a script, it’s my job
to make the viewers of the
movie feel the way I felt.”
TThe films of Jonathan
Demme (b. 1944) reflect his
ebullient personality and are
often infused with his love
for Caribbean culture, pop
music, fashion, and characters
who reveal offbeat tastes
and depths. He emerged
from the 1970s American
Renaissance that produced
Robert Altman, Francis Ford
Coppola, Steven Spielberg,
Martin Scorsese, Brian De
Palma, and others. His movies
are funny, humane, and
often unclassifiable by genre.
With conversations from
the 1970s to the present,
Jonathan Demme: Interviews
focuses on Demme’s artistry,
on his filmmaking philosophy,
and especially on his
progressive social and political
concerns and how these
have influenced the subject
matter he has chosen to film.
Although best known
for his Oscar-winning dramas
The Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia, Demme has also
achieved acclaim for comedies (Married to the Mob; Something
Wild), documentaries (The Agronomist; My Cousin Bobby; Jimmy
Carter: Man from Plains), and concert performance films (Stop
Making Sense; Neil Young: Heart of Gold). In this volume, he discusses
his troubles with studios, his need to balance documentaries
with fiction films, his early work as a critic and publicist, and
his apprenticeship with Roger Corman working on “B” movies.
Robert E. Kapsis is professor of sociology at Queens College, City
University of New York. He is the author of Hitchcock: The Making
of a Reputation.

John Singleton
Interviews
Edited by Craigh Barboza
“I really try to create what
I call, instead of emulating
reality, a hyper–reality.”
J
John Singleton (b. 1968)
rocketed from obscurity to
the top ranks of Hollywood
directors in 1991, when he
released his debut film Boyz
N the Hood. The poignant
coming-of-age story, set in
the streets of south central
Los Angeles, where Singleton
grew up amid gang violence
and hip-hop music,
earned him Oscar nominations
for best original
screenplay and best directing.
Only twenty-three at
the time, he was hailed as a
wunderkind and compared
to the young Orson Welles.
Some have credited him
with the mainstreaming of
hip-hop music and style in
cinema.
John Singleton: Interviews
spans his transformation
from USC film school sensation
to seasoned director
and producer. The collection includes lengthy interviews, in-depth
profiles, and up-close glimpses of Singleton filming on location.
Since his auspicious debut, Singleton has continued to make
gritty, character-driven “hood movies” that still speak to a mainstream
audience. He has made films in a variety of genres, including
romance (Poetic Justice), satire (Baby Boy), action (Shaft, 2 Fast
2 Furious), revenge drama (Four Brothers), and historical drama
(Rosewood).
Craigh Barboza of Washington, D.C., is a senior editor at USA Weekend
Magazine. He attended film school at New York University,
and his work has been published in Vibe, Entertainment Weekly,
Premiere, The Source, and the New York Times.

Claudette Colbert
She Walked in Beauty
Bernard F. Dick
CClaudette Colbert’s mixture
of beauty, sophistication,
wit, and vivacity quickly
made her one of the film
industry’s most famous and
highest-paid stars of the
1930s and 1940s. Though
she began her career on the
New York stage, she was beloved
for her roles in such
films as Preston Sturges’s
The Palm Beach Story, Cecil
B. DeMille’s Cleopatra, and
Frank Capra’s It Happened
One Night, for which she
won an Academy Award.
She showed remarkable prescience
by becoming one of
the first Hollywood stars to
embrace television, and she
also returned to Broadway
in her later career.
This is the first major
biography of Colbert
(1903–1996) published in
over twenty years. Bernard
F. Dick chronicles Colbert’s long career, but also explores her early
life in Paris and New York. Along with discussing how she left her
mark on Broadway, Hollywood, radio, and television, the book explores
Colbert’s lifelong interests in painting, fashion design, and
commercial art. Using correspondence, interviews, periodicals,
film archives, and other research materials, the biography reveals
a smart, talented actress who conquered Hollywood and remains
one of America’s most captivating screen icons.
Bernard F. Dick is professor of communication and English at Fairleigh
Dickinson University and is the author of Hal Wallis: Producer
to the Stars; Engulfed: The Death of Paramount Pictures and the
Birth of Corporate Hollywood; Forever Mame: The Life of Rosalind
Russell (University Press of Mississippi); and other books.

HHarvey Pekar’s American Splendor
is the longest-running and arguably
the most influential autobiographical
comic book series produced in
America. Since 1976, Pekar (b. 1939)
has reported on his life through his
comics. Pekar’s comic books deal
with his life as a Veterans Administration
clerk and freelance music
critic; his friends and co-workers
and their stories; and his home city
of Cleveland. Pekar’s struggles with
physical and mental problems, a
low-paying job, Hollywood, marriage,
his daughter’s adoption, and
success are all laid out in his comics.
Pekar prides himself on depicting
his life in all its “splendor.”
Harvey Pekar: Conversations
offers almost twenty-five years of
interviews from a variety of sources
including small fanzines, local
public radio shows, and the Washington
Post. The volume reveals his
thoughts and feelings about comics,
autobiography, his appearances
on David Letterman’s show in the
“Most comic book fans prefer
fantasy. I’m a realistic writer:
I try to push people’s faces
into their own lives.”
1980s, his life with cancer, and how a successful 2003 movie adaptation of American
Splendor has changed and not changed his life. His comics work has won the
National Book Award, spawned theatrical productions, and served as the basis for

¡Viva la historieta!
Mexican Comics, NAFTA, and
the Politics of Globalization
Bruce Campbell
V¡Viva la historieta! critically
examines the participation of
Mexican comic books in the
continuing debate over the
character and consequences
of globalization in Mexico.
The focus of the book is on
graphic narratives produced
by and for Mexicans in the
period following the 1994
implementation of the North
American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA), an economic
accord that institutionalized
the free-market vision of relationships
among the United
States, Mexico, and Canada.
Eight chapters cover a
broad range of contemporary
Mexican comics, including
works of propaganda, romance
and adventure, graphic
novels, a corporate “brand”
series, didactic single-issue
books, and a superhero parody
series. Each chapter offers
A study of how a nation’s
comics artists grapple with
economic upheaval
an examination of the ways in which specific comics or comic book series
represent Mexico’s national identity, the U.S.’s influence, and globalization’s
effects on technology and economics since the passage of NAFTA.
Through careful attention to how recent Mexican comics portray a
changing nation, author Bruce Campbell reveals a contentious range of perspectives
on the problems and promises of globalization. At the same time,
Campbell argues that the contrasting views of globalization that circulate
widely in Mexican historietas reflect a still unsettled relationship between
Mexico and its superpower neighbor.
Bruce Campbell is associate professor of Hispanic studies at St. John’s University/College
of St. Benedict. He is the author of Mexican Murals in Times of
Crisis.

MEMOIR | HISTORY OF MEDICINE
Squint
My Journey with Leprosy
José P. Ramirez, Jr.
How a sufferer of Hansen’s
disease emerged from
isolation and devoted his
life to advocacy
LLying in a hospital bed, José
P. Ramirez, Jr. (b. 1948) almost
lost everything because
of a misunderstood
disease. When the health
department doctor gave
him the Handbook for Persons
with Leprosy, Ramirez
learned his fate. Such a
diagnosis in 1968 meant
exile and hospitalization
in the only leprosarium
in the continental United
States—Carville, Louisiana,
750 miles from his home in
Laredo, Texas.
In Squint: My Journey
with Leprosy, Ramirez recalls
being taken from
his family in a hearse and
thrown into a world filled
with fear. He and his loved
ones struggled against the
stigma associated with the
term “leper” and against
beliefs that the disease was
a punishment from God, that his illness was highly communicable,
and that persons with Hansen’s disease had to be banished from
their communities.
His disease not only meant separation from the girlfriend who
would later become his wife, but also a derailment of all life’s goals.
In his struggle Ramirez overcame barriers both real and imagined
and eventually became an international advocate on behalf of persons
with disabilities. In Squint, titled for the sliver of a window
through which persons with leprosy in medieval times were allowed
to view Mass but not participate, Ramirez tells a story of
love and perseverance over incredible odds.
José P. Ramirez, Jr., is a social worker in Houston, Texas. He has
written articles about Hansen’s disease for the Houston Chronicle,
the Star Magazine, the National Association of Social Workers
Newsletter, and other publications.

At Home Inside
A Daughter’s Tribute to Ann Petry
Elisabeth Petry
Introduction by Gloria Wade Gayles
AAnn Petry (1908–1997) was
a prominent writer during
a period in which few black
writers were published with
regularity in America. Her
novels The Street, Country
Place, and The Narrows,
along with a collection of
short stories and various essays
and works of nonfiction,
give voice to black experience
outside of the traditional
strains of poverty and
black nationalism.
At Home Inside: A Daughter’s
Tribute to Ann Petry
sifts the myriad contradictions
of Ann Petry’s life from
a daughter’s vantage. Ann
Petry hoarded antiques but
destroyed many of her journals.
She wrote, but, failing
to publish for years, she used
her imagination to design
and sew clothes, to bake, and
to garden. When fame finally
came, Ann Petry did not enjoy the travel it brought. Though she
suffered phobias and anxieties all her life, she did not avoid the
obligations of literary success until late in her career.
Ann Petry applied her formidable skills to stories she told about
herself and her family, and the corrections Elisabeth Petry makes
to her mother’s inventions will prove invaluable. Talking about
her life publicly, Ann Petry acknowledged six different birth dates.
She hid her first marriage, and even represented her father, Peter
C. Lane, Jr., as a potential killer. Mining Petry’s journals Elisabeth
Petry creates part biography, part love letter, and part sounding of
her mother’s genius and luminescent personality.
Elisabeth Petry is a freelance writer with a juris doctor from the
University of Pennsylvania. She lives in Middletown, Connecticut,
and is the editor of Can Anything Beat White A Black Family’s
Letters (University Press of Mississippi). Gloria Wade Gayles is
Eminent Scholar’s Chair in Independent Study, Scholarship, and
Service at Spelman College. She is the author of several books and
the editor of Conversations with Gwendolyn Brooks (University
Press of Mississippi).

Conversations with
Anthony Burgess
Edited by Earl G. Ingersoll and Mary C. Ingersoll
AAlthough he did not start
publishing until middle age,
Anthony Burgess (1917–1993)
had over sixty published books
to his credit by the time of his
death. One of them, the short
novel A Clockwork Orange
(1962), was to bring him fame
and notoriety outside England
following the 1971 release of
Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation.
The prominence of that
single novel would impel its
author to confront a public
continually asking directly or
by implication: What else have
you written, Mr. Burgess
Burgess produced scores of
novels, biographies, books of
literary criticism, film scripts,
and news articles. A linguist
and polyglot who was fluent
in eight languages, he invented
the language used in the 1981
film Quest for Fire. He translated
and adapted Bizet’s Carmen,
Weber’s Oberon, and other
operas for the English stage.
His ReJoyce: An Introduction to
James Joyce for the Ordinary
Reader remains a standard in Joycean criticism.
Conversations with Anthony Burgess captures, through indepth
interviews, a writer of tremendous energy, inventiveness,
and self-discipline. The collection brings together interviews from
1971 to 1989, including two pieces published for the first time.
“After, as I say, the initial
‘essay’ in fiction, then you
really go to work. You
have to start using your
imagination and not just
your memory.”
Earl G. Ingersoll is distinguished professor emeritus of English at
SUNY College at Brockport. He has written, edited, and coedited
many books, including Conversations with May Sarton and Conversations
with Rita Dove, both from University Press of Mississippi.
Mary C. Ingersoll is a retired elementary school teacher who
specialized in teaching humanities to gifted students.

Darkness, The Dispossessed,

the Earthsea sequence of
novels and stories. For nearly
five decades, Le Guin (b.

also published well-received
works in such genres as realistic
fiction, poetry, children’s

and translation. In the pieces
collected here, Le Guin
takes every interview not
as an opportunity to recapitulate
long-held views but
as an occasion for in-depth
intellectual discourse.
In interviews spanning
over twenty-five years of
her literary career, including
a previously unpublished
piece conducted by

U.S. foreign policy, the history of architecture, the place of women
and feminist consciousness in American literature, and the differences
between science fiction and fantasy.

PHOTOGRAPHY | SOUTHERN HISTORY
TVA Photography, 1963–2008
Challenges and Changes
in the Tennessee Valley
Patricia Bernard Ezzell
Photographs that document
the recent evolution of a
powerful government agency
SSequel to TVA Photography:
Thirty Years of Life in the Tennessee
Valley, this book highlights
the agency’s history in
photography taken from 1963
through the present. TVA, a
New Deal agency created by
President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
celebrates its seventyfifth
year in 2008. Photographs
begin with President
John F. Kennedy’s promising
visit to Muscle Shoals,
Alabama, on the occasion of
TVA’s thirtieth anniversary.
Within months, the president
would be assassinated,
and the country would face
major social upheaval. Struggles
related to civil rights, the
Vietnam War, environmental
awareness, and finally Watergate
would strain the public’s
faith in government.
With the passage of environmental
legislation such as the Clean Air Act, the National Environmental
Policy Act, and the National Historic Preservation Act,
TVA found itself in a new political and legislative climate. These
new policies sometimes resulted in controversial actions, such as
the development of a nuclear power program and the construction
of Tellico Dam. Many of the decisions made in the 1960s and 1970s
led to significant and, at times, difficult transitions in the agency in
the 1980s and 1990s. Today, TVA continues its mission to improve
the quality of life in the region. Through the use of photographs
from the agency’s official records, this book documents a challenging
and sometimes controversial era in TVA’s history.
Patricia Bernard Ezzell is the historian and Native American liaison
for the Tennessee Valley Authority. She is the author of TVA Photography:
Thirty Years of Life in the Tennessee Valley.

MISSISSIPPI HISTORY | HIGHER EDUCATION
Golden Days
Reminiscences of Alumnae, Mississippi State
College for Women
Southern Women’s Institute,
Mississippi University for Women
Introduction by Bridget Pieschel
GGolden Days includes twenty oral histories of women who graduated
from Mississippi State College for Women (now Mississippi
University for Women) at least fifty years ago. From Mary Ellen
Weathersby Pope’s (1926) description of a teaching career beginning
just before the 1927 Delta flood to Juanita McCown Hight’s
(1934) account of campus conversations with violinist Jascha Heifetz
and writer/adventurer Richard Halliburton, these stories illustrate
the profound influence of the nation’s first public college for
women on the lives of the storytellers. Vivid reminiscences about
life on campus recall a different world of blue uniforms, rigid rules,
and demanding faculty.
Even after many decades, these women still clearly remember
particular teachers who inspired and pushed them to succeed,
midnight dormitory pranks played on long-suffering “social advisers,”
and the spring Zouave
marching drills directed by
the indomitable Emma Ody
Pohl. Whether they graduated
in 1926 or 1956, there
is a common thread running
through these memories:
an appreciation for
academic life, strong leadership,
cultural experiences
that enriched lives, a recognition that the university gave self-confidence
to pursue unusual or difficult careers, and a gratitude for
remarkable friendships which have lasted a lifetime.
The Southern Women’s Institute of Mississippi University for Women
provides a foundation for research and inclusive outreach through
the study of women in both traditional and non-traditional roles.
The Institute’s research focuses on the history of MUW and the
position women hold in the culture and foundation of the South
both today and in the future. Bridget Pieschel is professor of English

Reminiscences of an Active Life
The Autobiography of John Roy Lynch
John Roy Lynch
Edited and with an introduction by John Hope Franklin
BBorn into slavery on a Louisiana plantation, John Roy Lynch
(1847–1939) came to adulthood during the Reconstruction Era
and lived a public-spirited life for over three decades. His political
career began in 1869 with his appointment as justice of the peace.
Within the year, he was elected to the Mississippi legislature and
was later elected Speaker of the House. At age twenty-five, Lynch
became the first African American from Mississippi to be elected
to the United States Congress. He led the fight to secure passage
of the Civil Rights Bill of 1875. In 1884, he was elected temporary
chairman of the Eighth Republican National Convention and was
the first black American to deliver the keynote address, an occasion
that would not be repeated until 1968.
His autobiography, Reminiscences of an Active Life, reflects
Lynch’s thoughtful and nuanced understanding of the past and of
his own experience. The book, written when he was ninety, challenges
a number of traditional arguments about Reconstruction.
In his experience, African
Americans in the South
The memoir of an
accomplished politician and
the first African American
from Mississippi elected to
the United States Congress
competed on an equal basis
with whites; the state governments
were responsive to
the needs of the people; and
race was not always a decisive
factor in the politics of
Reconstruction.
The autobiography, which
would not be published until
1970, provides rich material
for the study of American politics and race relations during Reconstruction.
It sheds light on presidential patronage, congressional
deals, and personality conflicts among national political figures.
Lynch’s childhood reflections reveal new dimensions to our understanding
of black experience during slavery and beyond. An introduction
by John Hope Franklin puts Lynch’s public and private
lives in the context of his times and provides an overview of how
Reminiscences of an Active Life came to be written.
John Roy Lynch is the author of The Facts of Reconstruction. John
Hope Franklin is professor emeritus of history at Duke University
and the author of From Slavery to Freedom: A History of African
Americans, Runaway Slaves: Rebels on the Plantation, and other
books.

A Time to Speak
Speeches by Jack Reed
Danny McKenzie
F
For more than fifty years, Jack
Reed, Sr. (b. 1924) has been
a voice of reason in Mississippi—speaking
from his platform
as a prominent businessman
and taking leadership
roles in education, race relations,
economic and community
development, and even
church governance.
Hardly one to follow the
status quo, Reed always delivered
his speeches with a large
dose of good cheer. His audiences,
though, did not always
reciprocate, especially in his
early years when he spoke out
on behalf of public education
and racial equality. His willingness
to participate in civic
affairs and his oratorical skills
led him to leadership roles at
state, regional, and national
levels—including the presidency
of the Mississippi Economic
Council, chairmanship
of President George H. W. Bush’s National Advisory Council on
Education, and charter membership on the United Methodist
Church Commission on Religion and Race.
A Time to Speak brings together more than a dozen of Reed’s
speeches over a fifty-year period (1956–2007). The Tupelo businessman
discusses the events surrounding his talks about race
relations within his church, his deep involvement in education
with his close friend Governor William Winter and with President
George H. W. Bush, and his own campaign for governor as a Republican
in 1987. Danny McKenzie places this original material in
historical context. A Time to Speak illustrates how a private citizen
with courage can effect positive change.
Danny McKenzie, a veteran Mississippi newspaper columnist, is the
assistant to the president for marketing and development at Blue
Mountain College. He is the author of Matters of the Spirit: Human,
Holy, and Otherwise.

Southern Fiddlers and Fiddle Contests
Chris Goertzen
A journey to the main
public venue for the most
vigorous American folk
music tradition
SSouthern Fiddlers and Fiddle
Contests explores the phenomenon
of American fiddle
contests, which now have
replaced dances as the main
public event where American
fiddlers get together.
Chris Goertzen studies this
change and what it means
for audiences, musicians,
traditions, and the future of
southern fiddle music.
Goertzen traces fiddling
and fiddle contests
from mid-eighteenth-century
Scotland to the modern
United States. He takes the
reader on journeys to the
important large contests,
such as those in Hallettville,
Texas; Galax, Virginia;
Weiser, Idaho; and also to
smaller ones, including his
favorite in Athens, Alabama.
He focuses on what happens
on stage and such off stage
activities as camping, jamming, and socializing, which many fiddlers
consider much more important than the competition.
Through multiple interviews, Goertzen also reveals the fiddlers’
lives as told in their own words. The reader learns how and
in what environments these fiddlers started playing, where they
perform today, how they teach, what they think of contests, and
what values they believe fiddling supports. Southern Fiddlers and
Fiddle Contests shows how such contests have become living embodiments
of American nostalgia.
Chris Goertzen is associate professor of music history and world
music at University of Southern Mississippi. He is the author of
Fiddling for Norway: Revival and Identity and coeditor of the volume
on Europe in the Garland Encyclopedia of World Music.

FOLKLORE | FOOD
Garlic Capital of the World
Gilroy, Garlic, and the Making of a
Festive Foodscape
Pauline Adema
AAccording to Pauline Adema,
you smell Gilroy, California,
before you see it. In Garlic
Capital of the World, the folklorist
and culinary anthropologist
examines the role of
food and festivals in creating
a place brand or marketable
identity. The author scrutinizes
how Gilroy, California,
successfully transformed a
negative association with the
pungent bulb into a highly
successful tourism and marketing
campaign.
This book explores how
local initiatives led to an
iconization of the humble
product in Gilroy. The city, a
well-established agricultural
center and bedroom community
south of San Francisco,
rapidly built a place-brand
identity based on its now-famous
moniker, “Garlic Capital
of the World.” To understand
Gilroy’s success in transforming a local crop into a tourist
draw, Adema contrasts the development of this now-thriving festival
with events surrounding the launch and demise of the PigFest
in Coppell, Texas. Indeed, the Garlic Festival is so successful that
the event is all that many people know about Gilroy.
Adema explores the creation and subsequent selling of foodscapes
or food-themed place identities. This seemingly ubiquitous
practice is readily visible across the country at festivals celebrating
edibles like tomatoes, peaches, spinach, and even cauliflower.
Food, Adema contends, is an attractive focus for image makers
charged with community building and place differentiation. Not
only is it good to eat; food can be a palatable and marketable symbol
for a town or region.
Pauline Adema is staff folklorist for the Dutchess County Arts
Council in Poughkeepsie, New York. She teaches at the Culinary
Institute of America (Hyde Park, New York) and is a culinary anthropologist-consultant.

Selwyn R. Cudjoe
CCaribbean Visionary: A. R. F. Webber and the Making of the Guyanese
Nation traces the life of Albert Raymond Forbes Webber
(1880–1932), a distinguished Caribbean scholar, statesman, legislator,
and novelist. Using Webber as a lens, the book outlines the

chronicles his formation of the West Indian Press Association, his
work on British Guiana’s constitution, and his championing of its
people’s causes. Cudjoe studies Webber’s work with the British

Let’s Make Some Noise
Axé and the African Roots of
Brazilian Popular Music
Clarence Bernard Henry
CClarence Bernard Henry’s
book is a culmination of
several years of field research
on sacred and secular
influences of àsé, the
West African Yoruba concept
that spread to Brazil
and throughout the African
Diaspora. Àsé is imagined
as power and creative
energy bestowed upon human
beings by ancestral
spirits acting as guardians.
In Brazil, the West African
Yoruba concept of àsé
is known as axé and has
been reinvented, transmitted,
and nurtured in Candomblé,
an Afro-Brazilian
religion that is practiced in
Salvador, Bahia.
The author examines
how the concepts of axé
and Candomblé religion have been appropriated and reinvented
in Brazilian popular music and culture. Featuring interviews with
practitioners and local musicians, the book explains how many
Brazilian popular music styles such as samba, bossa nova, sambareggae,
ijexá, and axé have musical and stylistic elements that stem
from Afro-Brazilian religion. The book also discusses how young
Afro-Brazilians combine Candomblé religious music with African
American music such as blues, jazz, gospel, soul, funk, and rap.
Henry argues for the importance of axé as a unifying force tying
together the secular and sacred Afro-Brazilian musical landscape.
Clarence Bernard Henry is an independent scholar living in Newark,
New Jersey. He has taught at the University of Kansas and his writing
has appeared in Journal of Caribbean Studies, Journal of Latin

Voice of the Leopard
African Secret Societies and Cuba
Ivor L. Miller
Foreword by Engr. (Chief) Bassey E. Bassey
I
How African secret societies
changed the music, art, and
history of Cuba
In Voice of the Leopard: African
Secret Societies and
Cuba, Ivor L. Miller shows
how African migrants and
their political fraternities
played a formative role in
the history of Cuba. During
the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, no
large kingdoms controlled
Nigeria and Cameroon’s
multilingual Cross River
basin. Instead, each settlement
had its own lodge of
the initiation society called
Ékpè, or “leopard,” which
was the highest indigenous
authority. Ékpè lodges ruled
local communities while
also managing regional and
long-distance trade. Cross
River Africans, enslaved
and forcibly brought to colonial
Cuba, reorganized their Ékpè clubs covertly in Havana and
Matanzas into a mutual-aid society called Abakuá, which became
foundational to Cuba’s urban life and music.
Miller’s extensive fieldwork in Cuba and West Africa documents
ritual languages and practices that survived the Middle Passage
and evolved into a unifying charter for transplanted slaves
and their successors. To gain deeper understanding of the material,
Miller underwent Ékpè initiation rites in Nigeria after ten
years’ collaboration with Abakuá initiates in Cuba and the United
States. He argues that Cuban music, art, and even politics rely on
complexities of these African-inspired codes of conduct and leadership.
Voice of the Leopard is an unprecedented tracing of an African
title-society to its Caribbean incarnation, which has deeply
influenced Cuba’s creative energy and popular consciousness.
Ivor L. Miller, a cultural historian specializing in the African Diaspora
in the Caribbean and the Americas, is currently a Research
Fellow at the African Studies Center, Boston University. His previous
book, Aerosol Kingdom: Subway Painters of New York City, was
also published by University Press of Mississippi. Engineer (Chief)
Bassey E. Bassey of Nigeria is highly regarded in the Calabar community
for his knowledge of the history and practice of the Ékpè
system and is the author of Ékpè Efik.

Reconstructing Fame: Sport, Race, and Evolving Reputations includes
essays on Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente, Curt Flood,
Paul Robeson, Jim Thorpe, Bill Russell, Tommie Smith, and John

athletes whose careers were affected by racism and whose post-career
reputations have improved as society’s understanding of race
changed. Contributors attempt to clarify the stories of these sports
stars and their places as twentieth-century icons by analyzing the
various myths that surround them.
When media, fans, sports
leagues, and the athletes
How yesterday’s villains

that redemption means

sports legends, shifts in
popular perceptions often
serve to obscure an athlete’s

can lack coherence

some legendary competitors
and those associated with them. Adding racial tensions to this
process further complicates the task of preserving the valuable
achievements of key players.

CIVIL RIGHTS | WOMEN’S STUDIES
Women and the Civil Rights Movement,
1954–1965
Edited by Davis W. Houck and David E. Dixon
An anthology of speeches
providing eloquent evidence
of the powerful contribution
women made to the struggle
HHistorians have long agreed
that women—black and
white—were instrumental
in shaping the civil rights
movement. Until recently,
though, such claims have
not been supported by easily
accessed texts of speeches
and addresses. With this
first-of-its-kind anthology,
Davis W. Houck and David
E. Dixon present thirtynine
full-text addresses
by women who spoke out
while the struggle was at its
most intense.
Beginning with the
Brown decision in 1954 and
extending through the Voting
Rights Act of 1965, the
editors chronicle the unique
and important rhetorical
contributions made by such
well-known activists as Ella Baker, Fannie Lou Hamer, Daisy Bates,
Lillian Smith, Mamie Till-Mobley, Lorraine Hansberry, Dorothy
Height, and Rosa Parks. They also include speeches from lesserknown
but influential leaders such as Della Sullins, Marie Foster,
Johnnie Carr, Jane Schutt, and Barbara Posey.
Nearly every speech was discovered in local, regional, or national
archives, and many are published or transcribed from audiotape
here for the first time. Houck and Dixon introduce each
speaker and occasion with a headnote highlighting key biographical
and background details. The editors also provide a general introduction
that places these public addresses in context. Women
and the Civil Rights Movement, 1954–1965 gives voice to stalwarts
whose passionate orations were vital to every phase of a movement
that changed America.
Davis W. Houck is associate professor of communication at Florida
State University. He is the author, with Matthew A. Grindy, of Emmett

I
In Finding a Way Home, twelve
essays by scholars from four
countries trace Walter Mosley’s
distinctive approach to
representing African American
responses to the feeling of
homelessness in an inhospitable
America. Mosley (b. 1952)
writes frequently of characters
trying to construct an idea of
home and wrest a sense of
dignity, belonging, and hope
Considerations of the
achievements of the
acclaimed and popular
African American writer
from cultural and communal resources. These essays examine
Mosley’s queries about the meaning of “home” in various social
and historical contexts. Essayists consider the concept—whether
it be material, social, cultural, or virtual—in all three of Mosley’s
detective/crime fiction series (Easy Rawlins, Socrates Fortlow, and
Fearless Jones), his three books of speculative fiction, two of his
“literary” novels (RL’s Dream, The Man in My Basement), and in
his recent social and political nonfiction.
Essays here explore Mosley’s modes of expression, his testing
of the limitations of genre, his political engagement in prose, his
utopian/dystopian analyses, and his uses of parody and vernacular
culture. Finding a Way Home provides rich discussions, explaining
the development of Mosley’s work.

“I was never a recipe person.
I never looked at a recipe in
my life. Never, never. No!
I would ask somebody, ‘How
do you make that’ And then
I’ll go try it, experiment some
kind of way until I get it the
way I want it.”
