Wynn BullockRevelationsB y B R E T T A B B O T TWith contributions by Maria Kelly and Barbara Bullock-Wilson
| p h o t o g r a p h y |
With a collection of images that spans Wynn Bullock’s entire
oeuvre—some published here for the first time—this volume
offers the most comprehensive assessment in nearly forty
years of the extraordinary career of one of the leading pho-
tographers of the mid-twentieth century
Wynn Bullock was one of the most significant photogra- phers of the mid-twentieth century. A close friend of influential West Coast artists Ansel Adams and Edward Weston and a contemporary of Minor White and Frederick Sommer, Bullock created work marked by a distinct interest in experimentation, abstraction, and philosophical exploration. Bullock’s photography received early recognition in 1941, when the Los Angeles County Museum of Art staged his first solo exhibition. His mature work appeared in one-man shows at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris; the Royal Photographic Society, London; the Metropol-itan Museum of Art, New York; and the Art Institute of Chicago, among other prestigious venues. Bullock’s pictures Let There Be Light and Child in Forest have become icons in the history of photography, following their prominent inclusion in Edward Steichen’s landmark 1955 exhi-bition at the Museum of Modern Art, The Family of Man.
Wynn Bullock: Revelations offers the most comprehensive assess-ment of the photographer’s extraordinary career in nearly forty years. Produced by the High Museum of Art in partnership with the Center for Creative Photography to accompany a traveling exhibition, this retrospective traces Bullock’s evolution from his early experimental

work of the 1940s, through the mysterious black-and-white imagery of the 1950s and the color light abstractions of the 1960s, to his late metaphysical photographs of the 1970s. The book presents 110 im-ages, including some from the Bullock estate that have never been published before. An essay by the High’s Curator of Photography Brett Abbott explores the nuances of Bullock’s approach to photography and its fascinating relationship to the history of science and philoso-phy. The volume also includes an illustrated chronology, bibliography, selected collections, an exhibition history, and a plates list.
Despite early acclaim, the true breadth and depth of Bullock’s career have remained largely in the shadows. Wynn Bullock: Rev-elations shines new light on this major photographer.

“[Bullock’s images] are inexhaustible, they just go on and on, each viewing
(and I have looked into some of them for upwards of an hour at a stretch, com-
pletely immersed, and that’s rare) leads me further and further into them. . . .
There’s such an abundance of treasures I want to weep for joy.” —A. D. CO LEMANVillage Voice
“In every photograph of this country which
Wynn Bullock has taken, there is present a note
of gratitude for the privilege of being alive and
seeing the world, not as a machine, not as a
drudge, not as a professional, but as a dreamer
divinely possessed.” —HENRy M I L L ER

This remarkably engaging, occasionally unsettling photo essay by the
internationally acclaimed photographer of Seen Behind the Scene,
Exposure, Falkland Road, and Ward 81 presents powerful images,
most never before published, that probe the humanity of animals and
the lurking beast within humans
Mary Ellen Mark is an internationally acclaimed pho- tographer who has long been fascinated by the complex relationships between people and animals—as she puts it, “the anthropomorphic quality of animals, and the animalistic quality of man.” This fasci-nation has lured her again and again to Mexico and India, two coun-tries that, despite their many differences, share “a primal force . . . that makes the relationship between man and beast even more obvi-ous. There is a more fundamental and intimate working relationship between the people and animals, and this relationship is something I am drawn to and try to convey in many of my photographs.”
Man and Beast presents an extended photo essay comprising im-ages from Mexico and India that span some forty years. Many of

the Indian images were taken while Mark was working on her classic book Indian Circus (1983), but most of the photographs have never been previously published. Infused with an unsentimental poignancy and a fully intentional anthropomorphism, Mark’s photographs of animals, cir-cus performers, children, and others are sometimes ironic, occasionally unsettling, but always remarkably engaging. Accompanying the im-ages are a photographer’s statement and a conversation between Mark and Melissa Harris, editor-in-chief of Aperture magazine, covering Mark’s lifelong passion for animals, her experiences photographing them in circuses with their trainers, and her efforts to portray the humanity of animals and the lurking beast within humans.

Cilantro belongs to the large botanical family that includes celery, cumin, fennel, carrots, and parsley. In some places in Mexico, it is still called “culan-tro”—an old Spanish word—but should not be confused with Eryngium foetidum (p. 000), a native of the region also known as culantro. Some colonial-era chronicles mention cilantro but use the archaic word: the Relaciones de Sucopó says, “There are in this land plants brought from outside, such as garlic, mint and culantro, parsley and mustard.” The statement establishes the fact that “culantro” was the name applied to Coriandum sativum, which was brought from “outside” (Europe), since Eryngium foetidum is native.
culinary uses: Chopped cilantro factors into almost every meal in Yucatán: with chopped chives, it is the typical garnish for Mondongo (p. 000); it lends its delicate aroma to table sal-sas, guacamole, and many other dishes consumed throughout Mexico.

Today, culantro appears as one of the most important flavorings in the cuisines of Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam. It is also a primary component in the sofritos of Puerto Rico. It is rarely if ever consumed in the northern lowlands of the Maya region, including Yucatán, although it is of some importance in the Petén of Guatemala and in Tabasco, zones more favorable to its growth. However, many vintage
Yucatecan cookbooks specify “culantro” seeds, even though history indicates what they meant was “cilantro” seeds, or coriander (see Cilantro, above). The two herbs are from the same family of Apiaceae, and they do have a rather similar flavor and aroma, but that of culantro is much stronger and longer lasting. Culantro features long, spiked leaves while cilantro has rounded, convoluted leaves. Even though culantro is not a fea-ture of Yucatecan cooking, I include it in this section in order to clarify the many instances of the incorrect usage of the word in vintage regional cookbooks.

YucatánRecipes from a Culinary ExpeditionB y D Av I D S T E R L I N G
| c o o k b o o k s |
With over 275 authentic, easy-to-follow recipes, lively stories of their
origins, and luscious illustrations, here is the definitive work on the
foods of Yucatán, one of the world’s great regional cuisines
The Yucatán Peninsula is home to one of the world’s great regional cuisines. With a foundation of native Maya dishes made from fresh local ingredients, it shares much of the same pantry of ingredients and many culinary practices with the rest of Mexico. Yet, due to its isolated peninsular location, it was also in a unique position to absorb the foods and flavors of such far-flung regions
as Spain and Portugal, France, Hol-land, Lebanon and the Levant, Cuba and the Caribbean, and Africa. In recent years, gourmet magazines and celebrity chefs have popularized certain Yucatecan dishes and in-gredients, such as Sopa de lima and achiote, and global gastronomes have made the pilgrimage to Yucatán to tantalize their taste buds with smoky pit barbecues, citrus-based pickles, and fiery chiles. But until now, the full depth and richness of this cui-sine has remained little understood beyond Yucatán’s borders.
An internationally recognized authority on Yucatecan cuisine, chef David Sterling takes you on a gastronomic tour of the peninsula in this unique cookbook, Yu-catán: Recipes from a Culinary Expedition. Presenting the food in the places where it’s savored, Sterling begins in jungle towns where

SOPA DE LIMAchicken soup with sweet lime essence
Sopa de lima is the classic soup of Yucatán. The lima (Citrus limetta)—also known as limetta or sweet lime—is more aromatic and less acidic than the Persian or Mexican lime and gives this soup its characteristic floral taste. The traditional preparation method for Sopa de lima is gradually being lost. Nowadays, most cooks simply squeeze some lima juice (tightwads use lime juice) into a pot of chicken soup and call it a day. However, the original recipe evolved out of a Yucatecan stew known as Salpimentado, a potpourri of pork, chicken, and vegetables seasoned with a special recado. Like so many other recipes in the olla podrida family, the meats of Salpimentado are removed and served separately, while the cooking liquid is served in bowls on the side. It is this cooking liquid that was eventually transformed into Sopa de lima as cooks pondered what to do with leftovers. A quick sofrito with the special Recado para salpimentado and some slices of lima turn it into something special indeed. Since lima is not available beyond the growing zone, substitutions are suggested.
Prepare ahead note: Sopa de lima can be prepared in advance, refrigerated, and reheated just before serving. As noted below, it is also delicious served chilled.

Mayas concoct age-old recipes with a few simple ingredients they grow themselves. He travels over a thousand miles along the broad Yucatán coast to sample a bounty of seafood; shares “the people’s food” at bakeries, chicharronerías, street vendors, home restaurants, and cantinas; and highlights the cooking of the peninsula’s three larg-est cities—Campeche, Mérida, and Valladolid—as well as a variety of pueblos noted for signature dishes. Throughout the journey, Sterling serves up over 275 authentic, thoroughly tested recipes that will ap-peal to both novice and professional cooks. He also discusses pantry staples and basic cooking techniques and offers substitutions for local ingredients that may be hard to find elsewhere.

CHILMOLE DE FRIJOL CON PUERCOblack beans with pork in charred chile sauceThis simple variation of Frijol con puerco takes on new life with the addition of Recado negro, Yucatán’s famous charred chile seasoning paste. I love this easy adaptation so much that I often make it instead of the basic Frijol con puerco. Seasonally, cooks add whole immature fruits of ciruela (Spondias purpurea L., p. 000), lending a tart burst to every few bites of meat and beans. If you are a fan of sourness, substitute tomatillos for the quantity of Roma tomatoes specified in the recipe.Prepare ahead note: As with so many bean dishes, the flavors of Chilmole de frijol con puerco only improve over the course of a few days. Keep it refrigerated or freeze and reheat just before serving, adding a bit more water if necessary.yield: 10 servings
cook beansProceed through the enrichment step of the instructions for Frijol con puerco. When the onions are almost caramelized and after adding the spices, add the tomatoes and cook until softened, 3–4 minutes. Transfer the tomato/onion mixture to the beans and stir to combine. Place the recado, chipotles, salt, if using, and water in the jar of a blender and process until thoroughly liquefied. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into the beans, pressing out as much liquid as possible; discard the residue. Add more water if necessary (this dish should have a bit more liquid than Frijol con puerco.) Cook 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender but still intact and the flavors have amalgamated. Remove the chile and epazote and discard.for servingFollow the serving suggestions for Frijol con puerco, but serve white rice instead of black.
variationChilmole de frijol con costillas ahumadas (Smoked Ribs in Charred Chile Sauce): A spe-cial dish from the smokehouses of Temozón, this simply substitutes an equal quantity of your own smoked Costillas ahumadas (p. 000) for the pork. Or use your favorite mixture of smoked ribs, Longaniza de Valladolid (p. 000), and/or Carne ahumada (p. 000). Proceed with the recipe for Chilmole de frijol con puerco.

COCINA ECONÓMICA “LA COCINA DE MAMÁ”Mérida, Yucatán
The sparkling eyes and vivacity of Elsy de Socorro Piña Argáez have built her a loyal cus-tomer following. Winking at me, she described herself as mañosa, meaning that she has her own special way of doing things—a polite way of say-ing “finicky.” With two of her daughters, doña Elsy serves breakfast to twenty-five to thirty-five people starting at 6:30 am, and lunch to around forty people, between 11:00 am and 5:00 pm. Not all of doña Elsy’s customers sit in the tidy din-ing area; many bring plastic containers—known here as “tupers”—which they fill with food and tote home for the family. Her Cocina Económica “La Cocina de Mamá” does a brisk business with employees of a nearby hardware store as well as neighborhood high school students. Customers come for the simply delicious food, but doña Elsy is the real attraction.

CHILE DULCE
english / bell pepper / Mayan: ch’ujuk iik
scoville heat units: 0 / Diameter: 2½–3 inches (6–8 cm)
The bell pepper available in Yucatán looks rather different
from that with which we are familiar: it is round, smaller than
the varieties in the United States, and characterized by vertical
ridges from stem to base. Chile dulce is frequently grown in
solares, either in the ka’anché—raised growing beds—or in pots
to keep them away from animals.
culinary uses: Chile dulce is frequently used as an ingredi-
ent in sofrito along with onion and garlic; sofrito is a fragrant
vegetable sauté used throughout the Caribbean to flavor soups,
stews, and many other dishes.
CHILE MAX, PIQUÍN
english / bird pepper / Mayan: max iik
scoville heat units: 50,000–100,000 / Diameter ¼–½ inch
(0.75–1.5 cm)
Chile max is a relative of the world’s earliest chiles as they
evolved in the Amazon basin, which were quite small. While
the chile is cultivated in other parts of Mexico, in Yucatán it
continues to grow as a wild species, dispersed by birds.
culinary uses: The chile max is eaten fresh or dried, ground
and sprinkled onto fresh fruits and vegetables or onto the
maize beverages pozole and atole.
CHILE SECO, CHILE PAÍS,
CHILE DE PAÍS, CHILE VERDE
mayan / ya’ax iik
scoville heat units: 5,000–15,000 / Length: 1½ inches
(4 cm); width: ½ inch (1.5 cm)
The local fresh chile verde is a small, heart-shaped chile; it
is most commonly consumed in its dried state, known vari-
ously as chile seco, chile de país, or simply chile país. It is one
of the most popular chiles in the pueblos, and for this reason is
planted in quantities in the milpas.
culinary uses: Chile país is commonly used in a simple table
sauce—K’uut bi ik (p. 000)—but its most popular use is in the
pungent seasoning blend, Recado negro (p. 000). The chile is
set afire, the ashes gathered and mixed with other ingredi-
ents to create a thick paste that is then used as a marinade or
flavoring for stock, giving dishes in which it is employed a
characteristic black color and smoky flavor.
CHILE SERRANO
scoville heat units: 10,000–20,000 / Length: 1½–2 inches
(4–5 cm); width: ½ inch (1.5 cm)
The slender, finger-shaped serrano is quite picante but has a
light herbaceous flavor.
culinary uses: It is used on a daily basis throughout Mexico,
giving vigor to Salsa verde (p. 000) and Arroz rojo (p. 000).
CHILE XKAT IIK / X’CATIK
english / Anaheim chile, blond chile,
Italian sweet chile, banana pepper
scoville heat units: 1,000–10,000 / Length: 4 inches (10
cm) on average
The x’catik belongs to the family of blond chiles known in
Mexico as “güeros.” The flavor is lightly herbaceous.
culinary uses: The x’catik is usually charred and added whole
to many soups and stews, such as Pavo en escabeche oriental (p.
000). It is the chile of choice for stuffing, such as in Pib x’catik
(p. 000), or X’catiques rellenos de cazón (p. 000). It is also
used in an egg white–based mayonnaise—Crema de x’catik
(p. 000)—served in Lebanese restaurants as an appetizer with
pita. As suggested by its English names, all of those chiles are
from the same family and may be substituted for one another.

One Hundred Love SonnetsCien sonetos de amorB y PA B L O N E R U D ATranslated by Stephen Tapscott
| p o e t r y |
Beautifully redesigned as a gift
edition, this bilingual Spanish-
English volume, which has sold
nearly 250,000 copies, presents the
joyfully erotic love poetry of Nobel
laureate Pablo Neruda
“The happiness I feel in offering these to you is vast as a savanna,” Pablo Neruda wrote his adored wife, Matilde Urrutia de Neruda, in his dedication of One Hundred Love Sonnets. Set against the backdrop of his beloved Isla Negra, these joyfully sensual po-
ems draw on the wind and tides, the white sand with its scattering of delicate wildflowers, and the hot sun and salty scent of the sea to celebrate their love. Gen-erations of lovers since Pablo and Matilde have shared these poems with each other, making One Hundred Love Sonnets one of the most popular books of poetry of all time. This beautifully redesigned volume, per-fect for gift-giving, presents both the original Spanish sonnets and graceful English translations.
“Erotic feeling and human
affection convey a warmth
and immediacy that is di-
rect, delicate, subtle, and
strong by turns.” —BOOkL I S T

Don’t go far off, not even for a day, because—Because—I don’t know how to say it: a day is longand I will be waiting for you, as in an empty stationwhen the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.
Don’t leave me, even for an hour, becausethen the little drops of anguish will all run together,the smoke that roams looking for a home will driftinto me, choking my lost heart.
Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach;may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.Don’t leave me for a second, my dearest,
because in that moment you’ll have gone so farI’ll wander mazily over all the earth, asking,Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?

No estés lejos de mí un solo día, porque cómo,porque, no sé decirlo, es largo el día,y te estaré esperando como en las estacionescuando en alguna parte se durmieron los trenes.
No te vayas por una hora porque entoncesen esa hora se juntan las gotas del desveloy tal vez todo el humo que anda buscando casavenga a matar aún mi corazón perdido.
Ay que no se quebrante tu silueta en la arena,ay que no vuelen tus párpados en la ausencia:no te vayas por un minuto, bienamada,
porque en ese minuto te habrás ido tan lejosque yo cruzaré toda la tierra preguntandosi volverás o si me dejarás muriendo.

American ChristianityThe Continuing RevolutionB y S T E P H E N C Ox
| r e l i g i o n | American Studies, History
This lively, provocative book argues that American Christianity can
best be understood as a faith always undergoing radical and unpre-
dictable change as believers seek new ways of connecting with God
STEPHEN COxSan Diego, California
Cox is Professor of Literature and Director of the Humanities Pro-gram at the University of Califor-nia, San Diego. He is the author of many books, including The New Testament and Literature and The Big House: Image and Reality of the American Prison.
Christianity takes an astonishing variety of forms in America, from churches that cherish traditional modes of wor-
ship to evangelical churches and fellow-ships, Pentecostal churches, social-action churches, megachurches, and apocalyptic churches—congregations ministering to be-lievers of diverse ethnicities, social classes, and sexual orientations. Nor is this diversity a recent phenomenon, despite many Ameri-cans’ nostalgia for an undeviating “faith of our fathers” in the days of yore. Rather, as Stephen Cox argues in this thought-provok-ing book, American Christianity is a revo-lution that is always happening, and always needs to happen. The old-time religion al-ways has to be made new.
American Christianity offers a lively, well-informed look at the ongoing process of radical and unpre-dictable change that has always characterized the faith. Cox ex-plores how both the Catholic Church and mainline Protestant churches have evolved in ways that would make them seem alien to their adherents in past centuries. He traces the rise of uniquely American Christian movements, from the Mormons to Seventh-day Adventists and Jehovah’s Witnesses, and brings to life the vivid personalities—Aimee Semple McPherson, Billy Sunday, and many others—who have taken the gospel to the masses. He sheds new

light on such issues as American Christians’ intense but constantly changing political involvements, their controversial revisions in the style and substance of worship, and their chronic expectation that God is about to intervene conclusively in human life. Assert-ing that “a church that doesn’t promise new beginnings can never prosper in America,” Cox demonstrates that American Christian-ity must be seen not as a sociological phenomenon but as the ever-changing story of individual people seeking their own connections with God, constantly reinventing their religion, making it more volatile, more colorful, and more fascinating.
From the book“American Christianity demands appreciation for itself as a structure
that is always visible but always mysteriously shifting its form, a struc-
ture that cannot be finished because, in a way, it was never really started:
no one agreed on its plans, and no one agreed on the revisions of the
plans. Everyone just built.
To put this in other words: if we want to appreciate what we see around
us, in the religious (or antireligious) attitudes of our friends or of ourselves,
we should stop trying to explain what nobody ever saw: the undeviating
‘faith of our fathers’ that is said to be ‘living still’ in our national life. Many
people think this faith has always existed in America and always will exist.
Others think it once existed, but it has gone to eternal death, the victim of
relentless ‘forces.’ Many others fear, or rejoice, that it will soon return. But
fortunately or unfortunately, that cathedral of unchanging stone was never
there to begin with.”

Ever since the Warren Commission concluded that a lone gunman assassinated President John F. Kennedy, people who doubt that finding have been widely dismissed as conspiracy theorists, despite credible evidence that right-wing elements in the CIA, FBI, and Secret Service—and possibly even senior government officials—were also involved. Why has suspicion of criminal wrongdoing at the highest levels of government been rejected out-of-hand as paranoid thinking akin to superstition?
Conspiracy Theory in America investigates how the Founders’ hard-nosed realism about the likelihood of elite political miscon-duct—articulated in the Declaration of Independence—has been replaced by today’s blanket condemnation of conspiracy beliefs as ludicrous by definition. Lance deHaven-Smith reveals that the term “conspiracy theory” entered the American lexicon of political speech to deflect criticism of the Warren Commission and traces it back to a CIA propaganda campaign to discredit doubters of the commis-sion’s report. He asks tough questions and connects the dots among five decades’ worth of suspicious events, including the assassina-tions of John and Robert Kennedy, the attempted assassinations of George Wallace and Ronald Reagan, the crimes of Watergate, the Iran-Contra arms-for-hostages deal, the disputed presidential elec-tions of 2000 and 2004, the major defense failure of 9/11, and the subsequent anthrax letter attacks.
Sure to spark intense debate about the truthfulness and trust-worthiness of our government, Conspiracy Theory in America offers a powerful reminder that a suspicious, even radically suspicious, at-titude toward government is crucial to maintaining our democracy.

| h i s t o r y | American Studies
Refuting claims from both the political right and left, this dynamic
narrative history brings to life the long-forgotten founding struggles
over American finance, economics, and taxes and reveals their im-
mense and startling relevance to political struggles today
Mixing lively narrative with fresh views of America’s founders, Founding Finance offers a new perspective on America’s economic infancy. Dissenting from both right-wing claims and cer-tain liberal preconceptions, William Hogeland brings to life the vio-lent conflicts over economics, class, and finance that played directly, and in many ways ironically, into the hardball politics of forming the nation and ratifying the Constitution—conflicts that still continue to affect our politics, legislation, and debate today.
“William Hogeland’s splendid book revisits the
founding era’s formative struggles over finance,
finding in that tumultuous time harbingers of
our twenty-first century battles over money,
banking, and speculation. The resulting medi-
tation on the enduring connections between past
and present is full of smart, unsettling observa-
tions that will enlighten—and discomfort—
liberals and conservatives alike.” —STEPHEN M I HMUniversity of Georgia

Alex Marshall takes us on a fascinating tour of the fun- damentals that shape markets and, through them, our daily eco-nomic lives. He debunks the myth of the “free market,” showing how markets could not exist without governments to create the struc-tures through which we assert ownership of property, real and in-tellectual, and conduct business of all kinds. Marshall also takes a wide-ranging look at many other structures that make markets pos-sible, including physical infrastructure ranging from roads and rail-roads to water systems and power lines; mental and cultural struc-tures such as common languages and bodies of knowledge; and the international structures that allow goods, services, cash, bytes, and bits to flow freely around the globe.

Winner of the 2012 Los Angeles Book Festival Photography/Art Book
Award, this lavishly illustrated volume surveys the entire oeuvre of
internationally award-winning photographer Dan Winters, including
iconic celebrity portraits, scientific photography, photojournalism,
and lyrical personal expressions
Winner of the 2012 Los Angeles Book Festival Photography/ Art Book Award, Dan Winters’ America: Icons and Ingenuity is the first retrospective of the career of this talented artist. Win-ters has spent more than two decades creating memorable pho-tographs for such publications as the New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, GQ, and Rolling Stone. Best known for his iconic celebrity portraits, Winters has pho-tographed public figures ranging from the Dalai Lama to President Barack Obama, Hollywood ce-lebrities from Leonardo DiCaprio to Helen Mirren, and artistic luminaries from Jeff Koons to William Christenberry. His style of portraiture is instantly recognizable, characterized by impeccable lighting, muted backgrounds, and the contemplative pos-tures of his sitters.
Winters’ lifelong fascination with science, technol-ogy, and human ingenuity finds similar expression in significant groups of photographs: close-up studies of honeybees and airplanes and a magnificent series devoted to the last three launches of NASA’s space shuttles. These photographs reveal an aspect of Win-ters’ career that is less familiar than his commercial work but equally compelling.

“I have been asked to describe this photographer
with 1,000 words. Given the profound affection I
feel towards him and his work, it will be a challenge
to wrap it up so briefly. Humor, beauty, erudition,
skill, generosity, fun. There’s six . . . Dan’s portraits
of human beings, from anonymous citizens to
luminaries, are deceptively simple renderings of
personality and nuance. They are pregnant with
pathos. I’ve never seen photos of celebrities that
made them seem like such, well, human beings.
He suggests that the viewer really think about the
person depicted, in a
different way than we’ve
been taught by modern
fashion. His haunting
plates of honeybees are
shot with the efficient
scrutiny of the ento-
mologist combined
with a surrealist’s
élan. The works on paper are laced with specific
meaning and emotional truth, in turn beauti-
ful, humorous, and chilling. He takes on sumi-e
black ink painting and writes an entire poem
with three strokes of his brush. The longer I’ve
known Dan Winters, the more I am astonished at
the breadth of his ability to convey relevant and
powerful emotions with his images.”—N ICk O F F ERMAN , TIME LightBox
DAN WINTERSAustin, Texas; Los Angeles, California; and Savannah, Georgia
Winters is widely recognized for his unique celebrity portraiture, scientific photography, drawings, collages, and photojournalism. He has been the recipient of more than one hundred national and international awards.

A lush green lawn is one of the great pleasures of the natural world, whether it’s right outside your front door or on a ma-jestic fairway at a legendary golf course. But anyone who has tried to grow the perfect lawn the conventional way knows it requires an endless cycle of watering and applying synthetic fertilizers and toxic chemical pesticides that costs a lot of money and kills all the life in the soil, on the surface, and on the grass. Fortunately, there’s a better
way. Organic lawn care is not only healthier for the envi-ronment, it’s actually cheap-er and less water-intensive, whether you’re managing a small yard or acres of turf.
In Organic Lawn Care: Growing Grass the Natural Way, Howard Garrett, the renowned “Dirt Doctor,”
takes you step-by-step through creating and maintaining turf or-ganically. He begins with the soil, showing you how to establish a healthy habitat for grass. Then he discusses a variety of turfgrasses, including Bermudagrass, bluegrass, buffalograss, fescue, ryegrass, St. Augustine, and zoysia. Garrett explains in detail how to establish and maintain a lawn, including planting, mowing, watering, fertil-izing, composting, and managing weeds and pests. And he offers alternatives to lawn grasses and turf, describing the situations in which they might be your best choice.

The Texas Bookshelf
The University of Texas Press announces a major new initiative
unprecedented in publishing
This will be the most ambitious and comprehensive publishing en-deavor about the culture and history of one state ever undertaken. The Texas Bookshelf will comprise sixteen books and a companion website launching in 2017 with a sweeping, full-length history of Texas to be written by New York Times best-selling author and fac-ulty member at the University of Texas at Austin’s Michener Center for Writers, Stephen Harrigan. His work is widely lauded for com-bining historical accuracy with a novelist’s storytelling skills, and this book promises to be the essential history of Texas for a new gen-eration of readers.
Fifteen additional titles will follow, released over a five-year pe-riod. Drawing on the state’s brightest writers, scholars, and intellec-tuals—all distinguished faculty members at the University of Texas at Austin—the engagingly written narratives of the Texas Bookshelf will reveal the many fascinating stories that have played out in Texas from pre-Columbian times to the twenty-first century. The Bookshelf will also be supported by an interactive website that will facilitate an extended online community. Visitors to the site can access re-lated supplemental content including audio, video, photography, and downloadable readers guides, as well as links to rich primary source materials located in the magnificent research archives and special collections on the UT Austin campus. Additionally, a schedule of special programs and public events for the university community and general public will be developed in conjunction with the publi-cation of each book.

Jean-Claude GrumbergThree PlaysT RA N S L AT E D A N D I N T R O D U C E D B y S E T H L . W O L I T Z
| d r a m a |
Introducing the English-language audience to the work of one of
France’s leading contemporary dramatists—winner of seven Molières,
the Pulitzer Prize of France—these plays offer vivid insights into
French Jewish life in post-Holocaust Europe
Winner of seven Molières, the Pulitzer Prize of France, Jean-Claude Grumberg is one of France’s leading dramatists and a distinguished voice of modern European Jewry after the Shoah. His success in portraying contemporary Parisian Jews on the stage represents a new development in European theater and a new aes-thetic expression of European Jewish experience and sensibility of the Holocaust and its aftermath, a perspective quite different from either the American or the Israeli one. Grumberg’s Jews are French to their fingertips, yet they have been made more consciously Jewish by the war and the difficulties of reintegrating into a society in which too many neighbors denounced them or ignored their pleas to save their children. Affirming the new status of Jewish culture in Europe, Grumberg’s plays insist on the recognition of Jewish identity and uniqueness within the majority societies of Europe.
This volume offers the first English translation of three of Grum-berg’s prize-winning plays: The Workplace (L’ Atelier, 1979), On the Way to the Promised Land (Vers toi Terre promise, 2006) and Ma-ma’s Coming Back, Poor Orphan (Maman revient, pauvre orphelin, 1994). Presented in the order of the history they record and steeped in Grumberg’s personal experience and insights into contemporary Parisian life, these plays serve as documentary witnesses that begin with the immediate postwar reality and continue up to the end of the twentieth century. Seth Wolitz provides notes on the plays’ themes, structures, characters, and settings, along with an introduction that discusses Grumberg’s place within the emergence of French-Jewish drama and a translation of an interview with the playwright himself.

Grumberg has been a successful man of theater for over forty years as a playwright of thirty plays, an actor, a film screenwriter for Truffaut (The Last Metro) and Costa-Gavras (Amen), a writer of eight children’s plays and stories, and even a stage director. He has won the Grand Prix for theater from the Académie Francaise, and he has been honored by having his plays performed on the stage of the French National Theater, the Comédie Francaise, and L’Odéon, as well as having his plays studied as part of the curriculum in the French public school system.

His books include The Songs of Bernard de Ventadorn, The Proustian Community, and The Hidden Isaac Bashevis Singer. He has also written many articles on Jewish/Yiddish theater and espe-cially on Ansky’s The Dybbuk.
Exploring Jewish Arts and Culture
Jews in the realms of the arts and culture have
imagined extraordinary worlds and shaped
dominant cultures in ways that are only now
being fully recognized and studied. The books
in this series, produced by established scholars
and artists, will further this revelation and
make substantive contributions to both schol-
arly and public understandings of art, drama,
literature, photography, film, dance, music,
foodways, cultural studies, and other expres-
sions of humanity as filtered through the Jew-
ish experience, both secular and religious.

the original negatives and printed uncropped, this book presents the
most complete and beautifully produced catalogue of photographs of the
Tarahumara, Huichol, Cora, Tepehuan, Southern Pima, and Tohono
O’odham tribes of Mexico and southwest Arizona
Internationally renowned as an exciting guide to unknown peoples and places, Norwegian Carl Lumholtz was a Victorian-era explorer, anthropologist, natural scientist, writer, and photographer who worked in Australia, Mexico, and Borneo. His photographs of the Tarahumara, Huichol, Cora, Tepehuan, Southern Pima, and Tohono O’odham tribes of Mexico and southwest Arizona were among the very first taken of these cultures and still provide the best photographic record of them at the turn of the twentieth century.

Lumholtz published his photographs in several books, including Unknown Mexico and New Trails in Mexico, but, because photo-graphic publishing was then in its infancy, most of the images were poorly printed, badly cropped, or reworked by “illustrators” using crude techniques.
Among Unknown Tribes presents more than two hundred of Lum-holtz’s best photographs—many never before published—from the ar-chives of the American Museum of Natural History in New York and the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo, Norway. The images are new-ly scanned, most from the original negatives, and printed uncropped, disclosing a wealth of previously hidden detail. Each photograph is fully identified and often amplified by Lumholtz’s own notes and captions. Accompanying the images are essays and photo notes that survey Lumholtz’s career and legacy, as well as what his photographs reveal about the “unknown tribes.” By giving Lumholtz’s photographs the high-quality reproduction they deserve, Among Unknown Tribes honors not only the Norwegian explorer but also the native peoples who continue to struggle for recognition and justice as they actively engage in the traditional customs that Lumholtz recorded.

Pillar of SaltAn Autobiography, with 19 Erotic SonnetsB y S A LvA D O R N O v OIntroduction by Carlos MonsiváisTranslated by Marguerite Feitlowitz
| l a t i n a m e r i c a n s t u d i e s | Memoir, Queer Studies
Written with exquisite sensitivity and wit, this memoir by one of
Mexico’s foremost men of letters describes coming of age during the vio-
lence of the Mexican Revolution and “living dangerously” as an openly
homosexual man in a brutally machista society
Salvador Novo (1904–1974) was a provocative and prolific cultural presence in Mexico City through much of the twentieth cen-tury. With his friend and fellow poet Xavier Villaurrutia, he cofounded
Ulises and Contemporáneos, landmark avant-garde journals of the late 1920s and 1930s. At once “outsider” and “insider,” Novo held high posts at the Ministries of Culture and Public Education and wrote volumes about Mexican history, politics, literature, and culture. The author of numerous collections of poems, including XX poemas, Nuevo amor, Espejo, Dueño mío, and Poesía 1915–1955, Novo is also considered one of the finest, most original prose stylists of his generation.
Pillar of Salt is Novo’s incomparable memoir of growing up during and after the Mexican Revolution; shuttling north to escape the Zapatistas, only to see his uncle murdered at home by the troops of Pancho Villa; and his initiations into literature and love with colorful, poignant, complicated men of usually mutually exclusive social classes. Pillar of Salt portrays the codes, intrigues, and dynamics of what, decades later, would be called “a gay ghetto.” But in Novo’s Mexico City, there was no name for this parallel universe, as
full of fear as it was canny and vibrant. Novo’s memoir plumbs the intricate subtleties of this world with startling frankness, sensitiv-ity, and potential for hilarity. Also included in this volume are nine-teen erotic sonnets, one of which was long thought to have been lost.

From the book
So it was that the cinema, and not my early
reading, became my evening escape and the
refuge for the loneliness I knew so well. The
Vicente Guerrero was basically a shed with un-
comfortable seats, where everything smelled of
the urinals, and the total silence of the films was
punctuated by the notes played on the piano by
an old, virtuously dressed señorita, who seemed
to be practicing her next day’s lesson with ex-
tremely languid waltzes. I would sink into the
exciting and seductive delight of that darkness
in which the luminous screen kept presenting,
parading, itemizing, aggrandizing all those
beautiful characters in the films. The nobility,
strength, and bravery of the heroes worked in me,
germinating an adoration of their mythology,
and little by little, I discovered with astonish-
ment that I was in love with one of those heroes.
When the final close-up homed in on his strong
bare arms around the girl, and he sealed her lips
with his own, I substituted myself for her, not for
him, so as to savor the delectable, warm, moist
contact with his mouth. That passion obsessed
me, that desire infused with anguish, given the
impossibility of its ever being fulfilled.

With more than 850 color photographs and more than 600 described
species, as well as an easy-to-use color key to aid visual identifica-
tion, this is the most complete guide ever published to North American
Ascomycetes, which include morels and truffles
Approximately 75 percent of all fungi that have been described to date belong to the phylum Ascomycota. They are usu-ally referred to as Ascomycetes and are commonly found and col-lected by mushroom enthusiasts. Ascomycetes exhibit a remarkable range of biodiversity, are beautiful and visually complex, and some, including morels and truffles, are highly prized for their edibility. Many play significant roles in plant ecology because of the mycorrhi-zal associations that they form. Thus it is remarkable that no book dedicated to describing and illustrating the North American Asco-mycetes has been published in over sixty years.
Filling the gap between technical publications and the limited representation of Ascomycetes in general mushroom field guides, Ascomycete Fungi of North America is a scientifically accurate work dedicated to this significant group of fungi. Because it is im-possible to describe and illustrate the tens of thousands of species that occur in North America, the authors focus on species found in the continental United States and Canada that are large enough to be readily noticeable to mycologists, naturalists, photographers, and mushroom hunters. They provide 843 color photographs and more than 600 described species, many of which are illustrated in color for the first time. While emphasizing macroscopic field identification characteristics for a general audience, the authors

LINDA C. FARTHING AND BENJAMIN H. kOHLPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania
Farthing is a writer and educator with twenty-five years of experience in Latin America as a solidarity activist, study-abroad director, field producer for films, and journalist /independent scholar. Kohl was Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and Urban Studies at Temple University. They are coauthors of From the Mines to the Streets: A Bolivian Activist’s Life with Félix Muruchi and Impasse in Bolivia: Neoliberal Hegemony and Popular Resistance, as well as numer-ous articles.
In this compelling and comprehensive look at the rise of Evo Morales and Bolivia’s Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS), Linda Farthing and Benjamin Kohl offer a thoughtful evaluation of the transformations ushered in by the western hemisphere’s first contemporary indigenous president. Accessible to all readers, Evo’s Bolivia not only charts Evo’s rise to power but also offers a history of and context for the MAS revolution’s place in the rising “pink tide” of the political left. Farthing and Kohl examine the many social move-ments whose agendas have set the political climate in Bolivia and describe the difficult conditions the administration inherited. They evaluate the results of Evo’s policies by examining a variety of mea-sures, including poverty; health care and education reform; natural resources and development; and women’s, indigenous, and minority rights. Weighing the positive with the negative, the authors offer a balanced assessment of the results and shortcomings of the first six years of the Morales administration.

At the heart of this book are the voices of Bolivians themselves. Farthing and Kohl interviewed women and men in government, in social movements, and on the streets throughout the country, and their diverse backgrounds and experiences offer a multidimensional view of the administration and its progress so far. Ultimately the “process of change” Evo promised is exactly that: an ongoing and complicated process, yet an important example of development in a globalized world.

In the Valley of Oaxaca in Mexico’s Southern Highland region, three facets of sociocultural life have been interconnected and interactive from colonial times to the present: first, community land as a space to live and work; second, a civil-religious system managed by reciprocity and market activity wherein obligations of citizenship, office, and festive sponsorships are met by expenditures of labor-time and money; and third, livelihood. In this book, noted Oaxacan scholar Scott Cook draws on thirty-five years of fieldwork (1965–1990) in the region to present a masterful ethnographic his-torical account of how nine communities in the Oaxaca Valley have striven to maintain land, livelihood, and civility in the face of trans-formational and cumulative change across five centuries.
Drawing on an extensive database that he accumulated through participant observation, household surveys, interviews, case stud-ies, and archival work in more than twenty Oaxacan communities, Cook documents and explains how peasant-artisan villagers in the Oaxaca Valley have endeavored over centuries to secure and/or de-fend land, worked and negotiated to subsist and earn a living, and striven to meet expectations and obligations of local citizenship. His findings identify elements and processes that operate across communities or distinguish some from others. They also under-score the fact that landholding is crucial for the sociocultural life of the valley.

Evangelical Christianity is Mexico’s fastest-growing religious movement, with about ten million adherents today. Most belong to Protestant denominations introduced from the United States (e.g., Jehovah’s Witnesses, Seventh-day Adventists), but per-haps as many as 800,000 are members of homegrown, “native” evangelical sects. Based on ten years of fieldwork (1996–2006) and contextualized by nearly fifty years of anthropological study in the region, Native Evangelism in Central Mexico presents the first eth-nography of Mexico’s native evangelical congregations.
The authors focus on two sharply contrastive native evangelical sects in Central Mexico: Amistad y Vida (Friendship and Life) and La Luz del Mundo (The Light of the World). The former, founded in 1982, now has perhaps 120,000 adherents nationwide. It is nonhi-erarchical, extremely egalitarian, and has no dogmatic directives. It is a cheerful religion that emphasizes charity, community service, and personal kindness as the path to salvation. It attracts new mem-bers, mainly from the urban middle class, through personal example rather than proselytizing. La Luz del Mundo, founded in 1926, now has about 350,000 members in Mexico and perhaps one million in the hemisphere. It is hierarchically organized and demands total devotion to the sect’s founder and his son, who are seen as direct links to Jesus on Earth. It is a proselytizing sect that recruits mainly among the urban poor by providing economic benefits within the congregations, but does no community service as such.

In 2004, the United States, five Central American coun- tries, and the Dominican Republic signed the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), signaling the region’s commitment to a neoliberal economic model. For many, however, neoliberalism had lost its luster as the new century dawned, and resistance movements began to gather force. Contesting Trade in Central America is the first book-length study of the debate over CAFTA, tracing the agreement’s drafting, its passage, and its aftermath across Central America.
Rose J. Spalding draws on nearly two hundred interviews with representatives from government, business, civil society, and social movements to analyze the relationship between the advance of free market reform in Central America and the parallel rise of resistance movements. She views this dynamic through the lens of Karl Po-lanyi’s “double movement” theory, which posits that significant shifts toward market economics will trigger oppositional, self-protective social countermovements. Examining the negotiations, political dy-namics, and agents involved in the passage of CAFTA in Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, Spalding argues that CAFTA served as a high-profile symbol against which Central American oppositions could rally. Ultimately, she writes, post-neoliberal reform “involves not just the design of appropriate policy mixes and sequences, but also the hard work of building sustainable and inclusive political coalitions, ones that prioritize the quality of social bonds over raw economic freedom.”

From the first contacts between European conquerors and the peoples of the Americas, objects were exchanged and treasures pillaged, as if each side were seeking to appropriate tangible fragments of the “world” of the other. Soon, too, the collision between the arts of Renaissance Europe and pre-Hispanic America produced new objects and new images with the most diverse usages and forms. Scholars have used terms such as syncretism, fusion, juxtaposition, and hybridity in describing these new works of art, but none of them, asserts Alessandra Russo, adequately conveys the impact that the European artistic world had on the Mesoamerican artistic world, nor treats the ways in which pre-Hispanic traditions, expertise, and techniques—as well as the cre-ation of post-Conquest images—transformed the course of Western art.
This innovative study focuses on three sets of paradigmatic images created in New Spain between the sixteenth and seventeenth centu-ries—feather mosaics, geographical maps, and graffiti—to propose that the singularity of these creations does not arise from a syncretic impulse, but rather from a complex process of “untranslatability.” Foregrounding the distances and differences between incomparable theories and practices of images, she demonstrates how the constant effort to understand, decode, actualize, and condense Mesoamerican and European aesthetics, traditions, knowledge, techniques, and con-cepts constituted an exceptional engine of unprecedented visual and verbal creativity in the early modern transatlantic world.

The founding of la Villa Rica de la Veracruz (the rich town of the True Cross) is prominently mentioned in histories of the con-quest of Mexico, but scant primary documentation of the provocative act exists. During a research session at the Spanish archives, when John Schwaller discovered an early-sixteenth-century letter from Ve-racruz signed by the members of Cortés’s company, he knew he had found a trove of historical details. Providing an accessible, accurate translation of this pivotal correspondence, along with in-depth ex-aminations of its context and significance, The First Letter from New Spain gives all readers access to the first document written from the mainland of North America by any European, and the only surviving original document from the first months of the conquest.
The timing of Cortés’s Good Friday landing, immediately before the initial assault on the Aztec Empire, enhances the significance of this work. Though the expedition was conducted under the author-ity of Diego Velázquez, governor of Cuba, the letter reflects an at-tempt to break ties with Velázquez and form a strategic alliance with Carlos V, the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain. Brimming with details about the events surrounding Veracruz’s inception and accompanied by mini-biographies of 318 signers of the document—socially competitive men who risked charges of treason by renouncing Velázquez—The First Letter from New Spain gives evidence of entre-preneurship and other overlooked traits that fueled the conquest.

The role of the religious specialist in Andean cultures of the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries was a com-plicated one, balanced between local traditions and the culture of the Spanish. In The Power of Huacas, Claudia Brosseder recon-structs the dynamic interaction between religious specialists and the colonial world that unfolded around them, considering how the discourse about religion shifted on both sides of the Spanish and Andean relationship in complex and unexpected ways.
In The Power of Huacas, Brosseder examines evidence of trans-cultural exchange through religious history, anthropology, and cul-tural studies. Taking Andean religious specialists—or hechizeros (sorcerers) in colonial Spanish terminology—as a starting point, she considers the different ways in which Andeans and Spaniards thought about key cultural and religious concepts. Unlike previous studies, this important book fully outlines both sides of the colonial relationship; Brosseder uses extensive archival research in Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Spain, Italy, and the United States, as well as careful analysis of archaeological and art historical objects, to pres-ent the Andean religious worldview of the period on equal footing with that of the Spanish. The Power of Huacas deepens our under-standing of the complexities of assimilation, showing that, within the maelstrom of transcultural exchange in the Spanish Americas, European paradigms ultimately changed more than Andean ones.

A central tenet of Catholic religious practice, confession relies upon the use of language between the penitent and his or her confessor. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, as Spain colo-nized the Quechua-speaking Andean world, the communication of religious beliefs and practices—especially the practice of confes-sion—to the native population became a primary concern, and as a result, expansive bodies of Spanish ecclesiastic literature were translated into Quechua. In this fascinating study of the semantic changes evident in translations of Catholic catechisms, sermons, and manuals, Regina Harrison demonstrates how the translated texts often retained traces of ancient Andean modes of thought, de-spite the didactic lessons they contained.
In Sin and Confession in Colonial Peru, Harrison draws directly from confession manuals to demonstrate how sin was newly defined in Quechua lexemes, how the role of women was circumscribed to fit Old World patterns, and how new monetized perspectives on labor and trade were taught to the subjugated indigenous peoples of the Andes by means of the Ten Commandments. Although outwardly confession ap-pears to be an instrument of oppression, the reformer Bartolomé de Las Casas influenced priests working in the Andes; through their agency, confessional practice ultimately became a political weapon to compel Spanish restitution of Incan lands and wealth. Bringing together an unprecedented study (and translation) of Quechua religious texts with an expansive history of Andean and Spanish transculturation, Harri-son uses the lens of confession to understand the vast and telling ways in which language changed at the intersection of culture and religion.

“What the women I write about have in common is that they are all rebels with a cause, and I see myself represented in their mirror,” asserts Alicia Gaspar de Alba. Looking back across a ca-reer in which she has written novels, poems, and scholarly works about Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, la Malinche, Coyolxauhqui, the murdered women of Juárez, the Salem witches, and Chicana lesbian feminists, Gaspar de Alba realized that what links these historically and socially diverse figures is that they all fall into the category of “bad women,” as defined by their place, culture, and time, and all have been punished as well as remembered for rebelling against the “frames” imposed on them by capitalist patriarchal discourses.
In [Un]Framing the “Bad Woman,” Gaspar de Alba revisits and expands several of her published articles and presents three new es-says to analyze how specific brown/female bodies have been framed by racial, social, cultural, sexual, national/regional, historical, and religious discourses of identity—as well as how Chicanas can be liberated from these frames. She shows how the “bad women” who interest her are transgressive bodies that refuse to cooperate with patriarchal dictates about what constitutes a “good woman” and that queer/alter the male-centric and heteronormative history, politics, and consciousness of Chicano/Mexicano culture. By “unframing” these bad women and rewriting their stories within a revolutionary frame, Gaspar de Alba offers her compañeras and fellow luchadoras empowering models of struggle, resistance, and rebirth.

The first book-length study of Latina/o experiences in World War II over a wide spectrum of identities and ancestries—from Cuban American, Spanish American, and Mexican American segments to the under-studied Afro-Latino experience—Latina/os and World War II probes the controversial aspects of Latina/o soldiering and citizenship in the war, the repercussions of which de-fined the West during the twentieth century. The editors also offer a revised, more accurate tabulation of the number of Latina/os who served in the war.
Spanning imaginative productions, such as vaudeville and the masculinity of the soldado razo theatrical performances; military segregation and the postwar lives of veterans; Tejanas on the home-front; journalism and youth activism; and other underreported aspects of the wartime experience, the essays collected in this vol-ume showcase rarely seen recollections. Whether living in Florida in a transformed community or deployed far from home (including Mexican Americans who were forced to endure the Bataan Death March), the men and women depicted in this collection yield a multidisciplinary, metacritical inquiry. The result is a study that challenges celebratory accounts and deepens the level of scholarly inquiry into the realm of ideological mobility for a unique cultural crossroads. Taking this complex history beyond the realm of war narratives, Latina/os and World War II situates these chapters within the broader themes of identity and social change that con-tinue to reverberate in postcolonial lives.

According to the 2010 Census, Latinos now comprise 16 per- cent of the U.S. population and account for over half of the nation’s growth over the preceding ten years. In light of these demographics, headlines across the country have focused on how an increasing presence of Latinos will shape the “new” face of America. Some believe Mexican Americans are following the path of European immigrants toward full assimilation into whiteness, while others argue that Mexican Americans remain racialized as nonwhite. Re-search in this area often relies on racial identifications in national surveys such as the U.S. Census to make such claims. Julie Dowl-ing’s research challenges common assumptions about the meaning of such formal racial identification for this population, drawing on interviews with Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants from three locations in Texas—the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, Del Rio, and Mission/McAllen.
Mexican Americans and the Question of Race is an exploration of what shapes racial labeling practices for Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants who identify either in or outside the bounds of whiteness, emphasizing the link between racial ideology and racial identification both formally and in daily life. Skillfully weaving togeth-er the narratives of her interviewees, Dowling demonstrates the intri-cacies of widely varying racial ideologies and identifications. Dowling’s racial ideology continuum is groundbreaking, and the immense detail present in her interview summaries and excerpts further strengthens her argument that racial identification is highly contingent.

Rather than view the contours of Late Classic Maya social life solely from towering temple pyramids or elite sculptural forms, this book considers a suite of small anthropomorphic, zoomorphic, and supernatural figurative remains excavated from household re-fuse deposits. Maya Figurines examines these often neglected ob-jects and uses them to draw out relationships between the Maya state and its subjects.
These figurines provide a unique perspective for understanding Maya social and political relations; Christina T. Halperin argues that state politics work on the microscale of everyday routines, lo-calized rituals, and small-scale representations. Her comprehensive study brings together archeology, anthropology, and art history with theories of material culture, performance, political economy, ritual humor, and mimesis to make a fascinating case for the role poli-tics plays in daily life. What she finds is that, by comparing small-scale figurines with state-sponsored, often large-scale iconography and elite material culture, one can understand how different social realms relate to and represent one another. In Maya Figurines, Hal-perin compares objects from diverse households, archeological sites, and regions. Ultimately, she argues, ordinary objects are not simply passive backdrops for important social and political phenomena. Instead, they function as significant mechanisms through which power and social life are intertwined.

century BC farmers of modest means

This volume in the Institute of Classical Archaeology’s series on rural settlements in the countryside (chora) of Metaponto is a study of the fourth-century BC farmhouse known as Fattoria Fabrizio, located in the heart of the surveyed chora in the Venella valley (at Ponte Fabrizio). This simple structure richly illustrates the life of fourth-century BC Metapontine farmers of modest means.
Thorough interpretations of the farmhouse structure in its wider historical and socioeconomic contexts are accompanied by compre-hensive analyses of the archaeological finds. Among them is detailed evidence for the family cult, a rare archaeological contribution to the study of Greek religion in Magna Grecia. The entire range of local Greek ceramics has been studied, along with a limited number of imports. Together they reveal networks within the chora and trade beyond it, involving indigenous peoples of southern Italy, mainland Greeks, and the wider Mediterranean world. Along with the studies of traditional archaeological finds, archaeobotanical analyses have illuminated the rural economy of the farmhouse and the environment of the adjacent chora. Abundant Archaic pottery also documents an important occu-pation, during the first great flowering of the chora in the sixth century BC. This study provides an ideal complement to the four volumes of The Chora of Metaponto 3: Archaeological Field Survey—Bradano to Basento and an eloquent example of hundreds of farmhouses of this date identified throughout the chora by their surface remains alone.

In the decades following World War II, modern architec- ture spread around the globe alongside increased modernization, urbanization, and postwar reconstruction—and it eventually won widespread acceptance. But as the limitations of conventional con-ceptions of modernism became apparent, modern architecture has come under increasing criticism. In this collection of essays, expe-rienced and emerging scholars take a fresh look at postwar modern architecture by asking what it meant to be “modern,” what role mod-ern architecture played in constructing modern identities, and who sanctioned (or was sanctioned by) modernism in architecture.
This volume presents focused case studies of modern architecture in three realms—political, religious, and domestic—that address our very essence as human beings. Several essays explore developments in Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Yugoslavia and document a modernist design culture that crossed political barriers, such as the Iron Curtain, more readily than previously imagined. Other essays investigate various efforts to reconcile the concerns of modernist architects with the tradi-tions of the Roman Catholic Church and other Christian institutions. And a final group of essays looks at postwar homebuilding in the United States and demonstrates how malleable and contested the image of the American home was in the mid-twentieth century. These inquiries show the limits of canonical views of modern architecture and reveal instead how civic institutions, ecclesiastical traditions, individual consumers, and others sought to sanction the forms and ideas of modern architec-ture in the service of their respective claims or desires to be modern.

Focusing on star writer/performer comedians—Kathy Griffin, Tina
Fey, Sarah Silverman, Margaret Cho, Wanda Sykes, and Ellen DeGe-
neres—Pretty/Funny demonstrates that women’s comedy has become a
prime site of feminism in the twenty-first century
Women in comedy have traditionally been pegged as either “pretty” or “funny.” Attractive actresses with good comic timing such as Katherine Hepburn, Lucille Ball, and Julia Roberts have al-
ways gotten plum roles as the heroines of ro-mantic comedies and television sitcoms. But fewer women who write and perform their own comedy have become stars, and, most of-ten, they’ve been successful because they were willing to be funny-looking, from Fanny Brice and Phyllis Diller to Lily Tomlin and Carol Burnett. In this pretty-versus-funny history, women writer-comedians—no matter what they look like—have ended up on the other side of “pretty,” enabling them to make it the topic and butt of the joke, the ideal that is ex-posed as funny.
Pretty/Funny focuses on Kathy Griffin, Tina Fey, Sarah Silverman, Margaret Cho, Wanda Sykes, and Ellen DeGeneres, the groundbreaking women comics who flout the pretty-versus-funny dynamic by target-ing glamour, postfeminist girliness, the Hol-lywood A-list, and feminine whiteness with their wit and biting satire. Linda Mizejewski
demonstrates that while these comics don’t all identify as feminists or take politically correct positions, their work on gender, sexuality,

Generation Multiplex (2002) was the first comprehensive study of the representation of teenagers in American cinema since David Considine’s Cinema of Adolescence in 1985. This updated and expanded edition reaffirms the idea that films about youth constitute a legitimate genre worthy of study on its own terms. Identifying four distinct subgenres—school, delinquency, horror, and romance—Timo-thy Shary explores hundreds of representative films while offering in-depth discussion of movies that constitute key moments in the genre, including Fast Times at Ridgemont High, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Breakfast Club, Say Anything. . . , Boyz N the Hood, Scream, American Pie, Napoleon Dynamite, Superbad, The Twilight Saga, and The Hunger Games. Analyzing developments in teen films since 2002, Shary covers such topics as the increasing avail-ability of movies on demand, which has given teens greater access to both popular and lesser-seen films; the recent dominance of supernatural and fantasy films as a category within the genre; and how the ongoing commodification of teen images in media affects real-life issues such as school bullying, athletic development, sexual identity, and teenage pregnancy.

From struggles over identity politics in the 1990s to cur- rent concerns about a clash of civilizations between Islam and Chris-tianity, culture wars play a prominent role in the twenty-first centu-ry. Movies help to define and drive these conflicts by both reflecting and shaping cultural norms, as well as showing what violates those norms. In this pathfinding book, Daniel S. Cutrara employs queer theory, cultural studies, theological studies, and film studies to in-vestigate how cinema represents and often denigrates religion and religious believers—an issue that has received little attention in film studies, despite the fact that faith in its varied manifestations is at the heart of so many cultural conflicts today.
Wicked Cinema examines films from the United States, Europe, and the Middle East, including Crimes and Misdemeanors, The Circle, Breaking the Waves, Closed Doors, Agnes of God, Priest, The Last Temptation of Christ, and Dogma. Central to all of the films is their protagonists’ struggles with sexual transgression and tradition-al belief systems within Christianity, Judaism, or Islam—a struggle, Cutrara argues, that positions believers as the Other and magnifies the abuses of religion while ignoring its positive aspects. Uncovering a hazardous web of ideological assumptions informed by patriarchy, the spirit/flesh dichotomy, and heteronormativity, Cutrara demon-strates that ultimately these films emphasize the “Otherness” of the faithful through a variety of strategies commonly used to denigrate the queer, from erasing their existence, to using feminization to make them appear weak, to presenting them as dangerous fanatics.

Camilla Fojas explores a broad range of popular culture media—film, television, journalism, advertisements, travel writ-ing, and literature—with an eye toward how the United States as an empire imagined its own military and economic projects. Impres-sive in its scope, Islands of Empire looks to Cuba, Guam, Hawai‘i, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, asking how popular narratives about these island outposts expressed the attitudes of the conti-nent throughout the twentieth century. Through deep textual read-ings of Bataan, Victory at Sea, They Were Expendable, and Back to Bataan (Philippines); No Man Is an Island and Max Havoc: Curse of the Dragon (Guam); Cuba, Havana, and Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (Cuba); Blue Hawaii, Gidget Goes Hawaiian, and Paradise, Hawaiian Style (Hawai‘i); and West Side Story, Fame, and El Can-tante (Puerto Rico), Fojas demonstrates how popular texts are in-separable from U.S. imperialist ideology.
Drawing on an impressive array of archival evidence to provide historical context, Islands of Empire reveals the role of popular culture in creating and maintaining U.S. imperialism. Fojas’s tex-tual readings deftly move from location to location, exploring each island’s relationship to the United States and its complementary role in popular culture. Tracing each outpost’s varied and even con-tradictory political status, Fojas demonstrates that these works of popular culture mirror each location’s shifting alignment to the U.S. empire, from coveted object to possession to enemy state.

During World War II and the early Cold War period, fac-tors such as race, gender, sexual orientation, or class made a num-ber of American writers feel marginalized in U.S. society. Cosmo-politan Minds focuses on a core of transnational writers—Kay Boyle, Pearl S. Buck, William Gardner Smith, Richard Wright, and Paul Bowles—who found themselves prompted to seek experi-ences outside of their home country, experiences that profoundly changed their self-understanding and creative imagination as they encountered alternative points of views and cultural practices in Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Alexa Weik von Mossner offers a new perspective on the affective underpinnings of critical and reflexive cosmopolitanism by draw-ing on theories of emotion and literary imagination from cognitive psychology, philosophy, and cognitive literary studies. She analyzes how physical dislocation, and the sometimes violent shifts in un-derstanding that result from our affective encounters with others, led Boyle, Buck, Smith, Wright, and Bowles to develop new, cos-mopolitan solidarities across national, ethnic, and religious bound-aries. Reading these texts as emotionally powerful indictments of institutionalized racism and national violence inside and outside of the United States, Weik von Mossner demonstrates that our emo-tional engagements with others—real and imagined—are crucially important for the development of transnational and cosmopolitan imaginations.

Using previously untapped archives to reclaim a forgotten history, this
groundbreaking study traces Arab American advocacy to the early twen-

While conventional wisdom points to the Arab-Israeli War of 1967 as the gateway for the founding of the first Arab Ameri-can national political organization, such advocacy in fact began with the Syrian nationalist movement, which emerged from immigration trends at the turn of the last century. Bringing this long-neglected history to life, The Making of Arab Americans overturns the notion of an Arab population that was too diverse to share common goals.
Tracing the forgotten histories of the Free Syria Society, the New Syria Party, the Arab National League, and the Institute of Arab American Affairs, the book restores a timely aspect of our under-standing of an area (then called Syria) that comprises modern-day Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, and Palestine. Hani Bawardi exam-ines the numerous Arab American political advocacy organizations that thrived before World War I, showing how they influenced Syr-ian and Arab nationalism. He further offers an in-depth analysis exploring how World War II helped introduce a new Arab American identity as priorities shifted and the quest for assimilation intensi-fied. In addition, the book enriches our understanding of the years leading to the Cold War by tracing both the Arab National League’s transition to the Institute of Arab American Affairs and new cam-paigns to enhance mutual understanding between the United States and the Middle East. Illustrated with a wealth of previously unpub-lished photographs and manuscripts, The Making of Arab Ameri-cans provides crucial insight for contemporary dialogues.

The first book to present an analysis of Arab response to fascism and Nazism from the perspectives of both individual coun-tries and the Arab world at large, this collection problematizes and ultimately deconstructs the established narratives that assume most Arabs supported fascism and Nazism leading up to and dur-ing World War II. Using new source materials taken largely from Arab memoirs, archives, and print media, the articles reexamine Egyptian, Syrian, Lebanese, Palestinian, and Iraqi responses in the 1930s and throughout the war.
While acknowledging the individuals, forces, and organizations that did support and collaborate with Nazi Germany and fascist Ita-ly, Arab Responses to Fascism and Nazism focuses on the many oth-er Arab voices that identified with Britain and France and with the Allied cause during the war. The authors argue that many groups within Arab societies—elites and non-elites, governing forces, and civilians—rejected Nazism and fascism as totalitarian, racist, and, most important, as new, more oppressive forms of European imperi-alism. The essays in this volume argue that, in contrast to prevailing beliefs that Arabs were de facto supporters of Italy and Germany—since “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”—mainstream Arab forc-es and currents opposed the Axis powers and supported the Allies during the war. They played a significant role in the battles for con-

The last two decades have given rise to a proliferation of scholarship by Israeli feminists working in diverse fields, ranging from sociology to literature, anthropology, and history. As the Is-raeli feminist movement continually decentralizes and diversifies, it has become less Eurocentric and heterocentric, making way for pluralistic concerns. Collecting fifteen previously published es-says that give voice to this diversity, Israeli Feminist Scholarship showcases articles on Ashkenazi, Mizrahi, Palestinian, and lesbian identities as well as on Israeli women’s roles as mothers, citizens and activists, and soldiers.
Citing evidence that these scholars have redefined their object of inquiry as an open site of contested and constructed identity, lu-minary Esther Fuchs traces the history of Israeli feminism. Among the essays are Jewish historian Margalit Shilo’s study of the New Hebrew Woman, sociologist Ronit Lentin’s analysis of gendered representations of the Holocaust in Israeli culture, peace activist Erella Shadmi on lesbianism as a nonissue in Israel, and cultural critic Nitza Berkovitch’s examination of womanhood as constructed in Israeli legal discourse.
Creating a space for a critical examination of the relationship between disparate yet analogous discourses within feminism and Zionism, this anthology reclaims the mobilizing, inclusive role of these multifaceted discourses beyond the postmodern paradigm.

In many modern armies the religious soldier is suspect. Civilians and officers alike wonder if such a soldier might represent a potential fifth column. This concern is especially prominent in the public discourse over the presence of religious Orthodox Jews serv-ing in the Israel Defense Forces. Will they obey their commanding officer or their rabbi? With research collected over almost a decade, including hundreds of hours of interviews, Elisheva Rosman-Stollman examines this question of loyalties and reveals how religious soldiers negotiate a place for themselves in an institution whose goals and norms sometimes conflict with those of Orthodox Judaism.
For God and Country? focuses on the pre-service study programs available to religious conscripts. Many journalists and scholars in Israel are suspicious of the student-soldiers who participate in these programs, but in fact, as Rosman-Stollman’s research demonstrates, the pre-service study programs serve as mediating structures between the demands of Religious Zionism and the demands of the Israel De-fense Forces and do not encourage their students to disobey orders. This was especially apparent during the disengagement from Gaza in 2005. Many in Israeli society predicted student-soldiers would defy their orders, per the instruction of their religious leaders, but this did not happen as expected. In high profile cases such as this and in mat-ters encountered daily by religious soldiers—the mixing of the sexes, for instance—Rosman-Stollman has discovered that the pre-service study programs can successfully serve as agents of civil society.

While recent books have explored Arab and Turkish nationalism, the nuances of Iran have received scant book-length study—until now. Capturing the significant changes in approach that have shaped this specialization, Rethinking Iranian National-ism and Modernity shares innovative research and charts new areas of analysis from an array of scholars in the field.
Delving into a wide range of theoretical and conceptual perspec-tives, the essays—all previously unpublished—encompass social his-tory, literary theory, postcolonial studies, and comparative analysis to address such topics as:
• Ethnicity in the Islamic Republic of Iran• Political Islam and religious nationalism• The evolution of U.S.-Iranian relations before and
after the Cold War• Comparing Islamic and secular nationalism(s) in Egypt
and Iran• The German counterrevolution and its influence on Iranian
political alliances• The effects of Israel’s image as a Euro-American space• Sufism• Geocultural concepts in Azar’s Atashkadeh

Presenting a new Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language (TAFL) curriculum that can be used in secondary and postsec-ondary educational settings, Kalima wa Nagham (Volume I) is a textbook that uniquely and simultaneously introduces Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and salient aspects of Educated Spoken Arabic (ESA) to beginning language students. Students who fully utilize this book should be able to develop the different language skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and expressing deep cultural knowledge.
Written by Arabic language teaching practitioners and expe-rienced educators who are certified language testers, Volume I of Kalima wa Nagham employs a threaded story that introduces lan-guage concepts along with music to enhance vocabulary retention and recall. At the core of the textbook are dialogues that present students and teachers with examples of Arabic grammatical con-cepts and important cultural aspects, as well as related vocabulary. These are supplemented by drills and activities that can be used in a classroom setting or pursued individually. Dialogues, pronuncia-tion and listening drills, and charts to accompany the lessons are available on the UT Press website. This volume is student-centered in content and methodology, which will enable learners to meet and exceed linguistic and cultural proficiency expectations.

Evocative and nostalgic, this extended photo essay presents an in-
sider’s portrait of the surf culture of Texas, one of the top six surfing
states in America, as well as the singular and sometimes unexpected
beauty of the Texas coast
The urge to ride a wave, the search for the next perfect swell, is an enduring preoccupation that draws people to coast-lines around the world. In recent decades, surfing has grown into a multimillion-dollar industry with over three million surfers in the United States alone and an international competitive circuit that draws top surfers to legendary beaches in Hawaii, California, and Australia. But away from the crowds and the hype, dedicated surf-
ers catch waves in places like the Texas Gulf Coast for the pure pleasure of being in har-mony with life, their sport, and the ocean. Kenny Braun knows that primal pleasure, as both a longtime Texas surfer and a fine art photographer who has devoted years to capturing the surf culture on Texas beaches. In Surf Texas, he presents an eloquent photo essay that por-Jesus/Buddha Board (South Padre Island, 2001)

trays the enduring fascination of surfing, as well as the singular and sometimes unexpected beauty of the coast.
Texas is one of the top six surfing states in America, and Braun uses evocative black-and-white photography to reveal the essence of the surfers’ world from Galveston to South Padre. His images catch the drama of shooting the waves, those moments of skill and dar-ing as riders rip across the breaking face, as well as the downtime of bobbing on swells like seabirds and hanging out on the beach with friends. Braun also photographs the place—beaches and dunes, skies and storms, surf shops, motels, and parking lots—with a native’s knowing eye for defining details. Elegant and timeless, this vision of the Texas Coast is redolent of sea breezes and salt air and the memo-ries and dreams they evoke. Surfer or not, everyone who feels the pri-meval attraction of wind and waves will enjoy Surf Texas.

Midcentury Modern Art in TexasB y kAT I E R O B I N S O N E D W A R D S
| t e x a s | Art History
Extensively illustrated with works that have not been previously pub-
lished, Midcentury Modernism in Texas gives Texas artists their due
place in American art during this vital and canon-defining period,
while also valuing the quality of Texan-ness that subtly undergirds
much of their production
Before Abstract Expressionism of New York City was can- onized as American postwar modernism, the United States was filled with localized manifestations of modern art. One such place where considerable modernist activity occurred was Texas, where artists absorbed and interpreted the latest, most radical formal les-
sons from Mexico, the East Coast, and Eu-rope, while still responding to the state’s dramatic history and geography. This bare-ly known chapter in the story of American art is the focus of Midcentury Modern Art in Texas.
Presenting new research and artwork that has never before been published, Katie Robinson Edwards examines the contri-butions of many modernist painters and sculptors in Texas, with an emphasis on the era’s most abstract and compelling artists. Edwards looks first at the Dallas Nine and the 1936 Texas Centennial, which offered local artists a chance to take stock of who
they were and where they stood within the national artistic setting. She then traces the modernist impulse through various manifesta-tions, including the foundations of early Texas modernism in Hous-ton; early practitioners of abstraction and non-objectivity; the Fort Worth Circle; artists at the University of Texas at Austin; Houston artists in the 1950s; sculpture in and around an influential Fort Worth studio; and, to see how some Texas artists fared on a national scale, the Museum of Modern Art’s “Americans” exhibitions.

Woody plants and cacti are vital staple foods for cattle, deer, and other wildlife in drought-prone South Texas. Ranchers, hunters, and land managers who need to identify these plants relied on A Field Guide to Common South Texas Shrubs (published by Tex-as Parks & Wildlife Press and distributed by UT Press), which is no longer in print. Responding to ongoing demand for the book, Rich-ard B. Taylor has completely updated and expanded it with seven new species, new photographs, and a quick plant identification key.
Common Woody Plants and Cacti of South Texas is an easy-to-use plant identification field guide to fifty species that comprise an estimated 90 percent of the region’s woody canopy cover north of the Rio Grande Valley. The species accounts include photographs, de-scriptions, values to livestock and wildlife, and nutritional informa-tion. The book also provides historical perspectives and information on brush management techniques and strategies, as well as habi-tat appraisal. All of these resources will enable readers to analyze stocking rates for deer and cattle, evaluate a prospective hunting lease, or buy property.

| t e x a s | Nature, Botany
Now available in trade paperback, this extensively illustrated book
presents the remarkable natural and cultural history of eighty of
Texas’s most fascinating native plants
To fully appreciate how Texas’s native plants have sus- tained people and animals from prehistoric times to the present, you need Remarkable Plants of Texas. In this intriguing book, Matt Warnock Turner explores the little-known facts—be they archaeo-logical, historical, material, medicinal, culinary, or cultural—behind our familiar botanical landscape. In sixty-five entries that cover over eighty of our most common native plants from trees, shrubs, and wildflowers to grasses, cacti, vines, and aquatics, he traces our vast array of connections with plants. Turner looks at how people have used plants for food, shelter, medicine, and economic subsistence; how plants have figured in the historical record and in Texas folk-lore; how plants nourish wildlife; and how some plants have unusu-al ecological or biological characteristics. Illustrated with over one hundred color photos and organized for easy reference, Remarkable Plants of Texas can function as a guide to individual species as well as an enjoyable natural history of our most fascinating native plants.

| t e x a s | Urban Studies,
Tracing the development of Texas’s most prestigious suburban com-
munities, this book explores why community planning in the state has
sometimes succeeded in the suburbs while gaining only limited or no
acceptance at the city-wide level
CHERyL CALDWELL FER-GUSONAustin, Texas

In the early twentieth century, developers from Baltimore to Beverly Hills built garden suburbs, a new kind of residential com-munity that incorporated curvilinear roads and landscape design as picturesque elements in a neighborhood. Intended as models for how American cities should be rationally, responsibly, and beauti-fully modernized, garden suburban communities were fragments of a larger (if largely imagined) garden city—the mythical “good” city of U.S. city-planning practices of the 1920s.
This extensively illustrated book chronicles the development of the two most fully realized garden suburbs in Texas, Dallas’s Highland Park and Houston’s River Oaks. Cheryl Caldwell Ferguson draws on a wealth of primary sources to trace the planning, design, financing,

implementation, and long-term management of these suburbs. She also analyzes homes built by such architects as H. B. Thomson, C. D. Hill, Fooshee & Cheek, John F. Staub, Birdsall P. Briscoe, and Charles W. Ol-iver, demonstrating how the “suburban country house” allowed the gar-den suburb to avoid undesirable associations with city neighborhoods and their uncontrolled industrial, commercial, and working-class resi-dential development. She also addresses the evolution of the shopping center by looking at Highland Park’s Shopping Village, which was one of the first in the nation. Ferguson sets the story of Highland Park and River Oaks within the larger story of the development of garden sub-urban communities in Texas and across America to explain why these two communities achieved such prestige, maintained their property values, became the most successful in their cities in the twentieth cen-tury, and still serve as ideal models for suburban communities today.

Oveta Culp Hobby (1905–1995) had a lifetime of stellar achievement. During World War II, she was asked to build a wom-en’s army from scratch—and did. Hobby became Director of the Women’s Army Corps and the first Army woman to earn the rank of colonel. President Eisenhower chose her as Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, making her the second woman in history to be appointed to a president’s cabinet. When she wasn’t serving in the government, Hobby worked with her husband, former Texas governor William P. Hobby, to lead a media empire that included the Houston Post newspaper and radio and TV stations. She also supported the Houston community in many ways, from advocating for civil rights for African Americans to donating generously to the Houston Symphony and the Museum of Fine Arts.
Oveta Culp Hobby is the first biography of this important woman. Written for middle school readers, it traces her life from her child-hood in Killeen to her remarkable achievements in Washington, DC, and Houston. Debra Winegarten provides the background to help young adult readers understand the times in which Hobby lived and the challenges she faced as a woman in nontraditional jobs. She shows how Hobby opened doors for women to serve in the military and in other professions that still benefit women today. Most of all, Oveta Culp Hobby will inspire young adults to follow their own dreams and turn them into tangible reality.

One of the few books of its kind, Acting Up and Getting Down brings together seven African American literary voices that all have a connection to the Lone Star state. Covering Texas themes and universal ones, this collection showcases often-overlooked liter-ary talents to bring to life inspiring facets of black theatre history.
Capturing the intensity of racial violence in Texas, from the Battle of San Jacinto to a World War I–era riot at a Houston train-ing ground, Celeste Bedford Walker’s Camp Logan and Ted Shine’s Ancestors provide fascinating narratives through the lens of history. Thomas Meloncon’s Johnny B. Goode and George Hawkins’s Br’er Rabbit explore the cultural legacies of blues music and folktales. Three unflinching dramas (Sterling Houston’s Driving Wheel, Eu-gene Lee’s Killingsworth, and Elizabeth Brown-Guillory’s When the Ancestors Call) examine homosexuality, a death in the family, and child abuse, bringing to light the private tensions of intersections between the individual and the community.
Supplemented by a chronology of black literary milestones as well as a playwrights’ canon, Acting Up and Getting Down puts the spotlight on creative achievements that have for too long been ex-cluded from Texas letters. The resulting anthology not only provides new insight into a regional experience but also completes the Ameri-can story as told onstage.

This catalogue of a centennial exhibition of
World War I literary and visual materials in
the collection of the Harry Ransom Center at the
University of Texas at Austin illuminates the
lived experience of the war and its impact on
soldiers and civilians
JEAN M. CANNON AND ELIZABETH L. GARvERAustin, Texas
Cannon and Garver are cocurators of the Harry Ransom Center gallery ex-hibition The World at War, 1914–1918. Cannon is Literary Collections Research Associate at the Ransom Center. Prior to joining the Center, she completed a Ph.D. in English at the University of Texas at Austin, where she specialized in British and Ameri-can literature of the First World War. Garver is French Collections Research Associate at the Ransom Center, where she has worked since 2000. She is cur-rently a Ph.D. candidate in modern European history at the University of Texas at Austin.
The exhibition The World at War, 1914–1918 marks the centenary of the start of World War I. Once thought to be “the war to end war,” such naïve optimism was quickly shattered by the experi-ence of civilian and soldier thrust into the shared horror of industrial warfare. The war lasted four long years and killed ten million people. Wilfred Owen eulogized those killed in battle as “our undying dead.” Siegfried Sassoon called them “the nameless names.” And Gertrude Stein famously pronounced the casualties as well as the survivors of the war the “Lost Generation,” whose worldview had been changed forever. The geopolitical causes, the war’s global expansion, and the out-comes of the war are well documented. The collective personal and national trauma inflicted on all who experienced the war, however, remains a potent touchstone that speaks to a contempo-rary world still embroiled in conflict.
Drawing on the Ransom Center’s extensive cultural collections, this exhibition and companion publication illuminate the lived experi-ence of the war from the point of view of its participants and observ-ers, preserved for a twenty-first-century generation through letters, drafts, and diaries; memoirs and novels; photographs and works pro-duced by battlefield artists; and propaganda posters and films.

Age of Globalizationjohn hoberman, instructor
Globalization is a fascinating spectacle that can be understood as global systems of com-petition and connectivity. These man-made systems provide transport, communication, governance, and entertainment on a global scale. International crime networks are also outgrowths of the same systems. In this course, you will learn how to identify and ana-lyze global systems and better understand how they are changing societies around the world.
John Hoberman, Professor and former Chair of the Department of Germanic Stud-ies at the University of Texas at Austin, has taught courses on globalization many times over the past ten years.

Ideas of the Twentieth Centurydaniel bonevac, roy flukinger, and daniel muñoz, instructors
The twentieth century ushered in significant progress, as philosophers, scientists, artists, and poets across the world improved the way we lived. Yet the last century also brought in-creased levels of war, tyranny, and genocide, and people lost faith in values. Now, thinkers and leaders are reconstructing theories of val-ue and creating institutions to embody them. In this thought-provoking, broad-sweeping course, you will learn how philosophy, art, lit-erature, and history shaped the past century and continue to impact our world today.
Daniel Bonevac is Professor of Philoso-phy at the University of Texas at Austin. Roy Flukinger is Senior Research Curator of the Harry Ransom Center. Daniel Muñoz, a ju-nior at the university studying philosophy and linguistics, serves as coeditor of Ex Ni-hilo, UT’s undergraduate philosophy journal.
