Verlag Barbara Budrich Violence and Genocide in Kurdish Memory:
Book SynopsisKurdish memories of the Armenian Genocide challenge the systematic denialism established by the Turkish state structures and foster new possibilities of coming to terms with the past. This book examines Kurdish biographies, especially from Van, Turkey, and explores the dynamics of intertwined remembrance regimes concerning the political violence on Armenians and Syriac Christians of Ottoman imperial subjects and on Kurdish citizens of Turkey. These life stories shed light on the complexity of remembering, including collective and individual memory notions on violence, perpetratorship and victimhood from past and present. The author focuses on the Kurdish collective and individual memories through reconstructing biographical narrative interviews and ethnographic data. Based on such empirical inquiry, Yetkin argues that the genocide memory helps the Kurdish society articulate, describe, and discuss its own experiences with the state and political violence. Thus, denialism as a systematic notion by the Turkish state apparatus appears to be read accurately when the ongoing state violence on Kurds is problematised parallelly. Alternative younger voices questioning the forefathers’ involvement in the persecution have repeatedly confronted Kurdish positions in politics and civil society fostering critical discussions on the past – underscoring reconciliation with Armenians yet employing anachronistic patterns of storytelling. They have opened up new trajectories based on their experiences. Hence, the author understands the situation as a multi-faceted and multi-layered memory complexity that contains interwoven narratives starting the Kurdish social time with the genocidal violence on Armenians and Syriac Christians of the region and pointing out continuous oppression. In short, a sphere of contested and multidirectional memories challenging foundations of denialism and settled stories emerges within this context and makes the Kurdish experiences discussable.Trade Review“Violence and Genocide in Kurdish Memory provides insight into how visions of the past shift within a turbulent political climate and how these shifts impact ongoing struggles.” Middle East Journal, Volume 76, Number 4, Spring 2023Table of ContentsFrom the Contents 1.

The University of Chicago Press Race and Schooling in the South 18801950
Book SynopsisThe interrelation among race, schooling, and labor market opportunities of American blacks can help us make sense of the relatively poor economic status of blacks in contemporary society. The role of these factors in slavery and the economic consequences for blacks has received much attention, but the post-slave experience of blacks in the American economy has been less studied. To deepen our understanding of that experience, Robert A. Margo mines a wealth of newly available census data and school district records. By analyzing evidence concerning occupational discrimination, educational expenditures, taxation, and teachers' salaries, he clarifies the costs for blacks of post-slave segregation. A concise, lucid account of the bases of racial inequality in the South between Reconstruction and the Civil Rights era. . . . Deserves the careful attention of anyone concerned with historical and contemporary race stratification.Kathryn M. Neckerman, Contemporary SociologyMargo has produced an

The University of Chicago Press Seeing Silicon Valley
Book SynopsisAcclaimed American photographer Mary Beth Meehan and Silicon Valley culture expert Fred Turner join forces to give us an unseen view of the heart of the tech world.Trade Review"For more than seven decades, business leaders, politicians, and would-be entrepreneurs have tried to unravel the secrets of Silicon Valley. In a little more than one hundred powerful, haunting pages, Meehan and Turner have captured a side of the Valley rarely seen: the deeply inequitable landscape of contingent and disproportionately foreign-born labor that makes its high-tech magic possible. Humane, insightful, and deeply compelling, this book tells the story of Silicon Valley in a completely new and utterly magnetic way."--Margaret O'Mara, author of The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America "It is a Silicon Valley rarely described and never shown that photographer Mary Beth Meehan sought to document. . . . Without descending into pathos, she reveals the striking contrasts between the world of start-ups and that in which their employees live. . . . But underneath, Meehan also depicts another, more subtle dissonance--between the way Silicon Valley sees itself, and the way it really is."-- "Le Monde" "Meehan's photographs provide a compelling cross section of peoples and places in the Valley, featuring hidden and untold stories. The photographs are excellent, the selection is clever and balanced, and the accompanying texts are well-written and engaging."--Phillip Prodger, Yale UniversityTable of ContentsThe Valley on the Hill Fred Turner Photographs and Stories Mary Beth Meehan Cristobal Ravi and Gouthami Victor Warren Justyna Teresa Mary Diane Abraham and Brenda Ariana and Elijah Mark Imelda Richard Leslie Geraldine Jolea Melissa and Steve Jon Gee and Virginia Branton and Shirley Konstance Aurora Erfan Ted Elisa and Family Elizabeth Afterword Acknowledgments

The University of Chicago Press Unmaking Waste New Histories of Old Things
Book SynopsisExplores the concept of waste from fresh historical, cultural, and geographical perspectives. Garbage is often assumed to be an inevitable part and problem of human existence. But when did people actually come to think of things as trashas becoming worthless over time or through use, as having an end? Unmaking Waste tackles these questions through a long-term, cross-cultural approach. Drawing on archaeological finds, historical documents, and ethnographic observations to examine Europe, the United States, and Central America from prehistory to the present, Sarah Newman traces how different ideas about waste took shape in different times and places. Newman examines what people consider to be waste and how they interact with it, as well as what happens when different perceptions of trash come into conflict. Conceptions of waste have shaped forms of reuse and renewal in ancient Mesoamerica, early modern ideas of civility and forced religious conversion in New Spain, and even the modern discipline of archaeology. Newman argues that centuries of assumptions imposed on other places, times, and peoples need to be rethought. This book is not only a broad reconsideration of waste; it is also a call for new forms of archaeology that do not take garbage for granted. Unmaking Waste reveals that waste is notand never has beenan obvious or universal concept.Trade Review“Newman uses an archaeological lens to pose deep questions for our understanding of human waste management, including our very definitions of what constitutes ‘waste’: the result is a timely and original intervention that will resonate across disciplines and offer fresh perspectives on contemporary environmentalist movements.” * David Wengrow, coauthor of The Dawn of Everything *“‘Trash talk’ at its finest, this epic and engaging book reimagines how we should think about both the history of archaeology and our present-day pollution crisis. Destabilizing taken-for-granted assumptions about garbage, Unmaking Waste excavates multiple understandings of trash and time across centuries of Mesoamerican, European, and Euroamerican history.” * Byron Hamann, author of The Invention of the Colonial Americas *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Introduction: A Fortress of Indestructible Leftovers 1.

The University of Chicago Press Some White Folks
Book SynopsisA pioneering exploration of the unexamined roots and effect of racial sympathy within American politics. There is racial inequality in America, and some people are distressed over it while others are not. This is a book about white people who feel that distress. For decades, political scientists have studied the effects of white racial prejudice, but Jennifer Chudy shows that white racial sympathy for Black Americans' suffering is also a potent force in modern American politics. Grounded in the history of Black-white relations in America, racial sympathy is unique. It is not equivalent to a low level of racial prejudice or sympathy for other marginalized groups.Some White Folks reveals how racial sympathy shapes a significant number of white Americans' opinions on policy areas ranging from the social welfare state to the criminal justice system. Under certain circumstances, it can also spur actionalthough effects on political behavior are weaker and less consistent, for reasons Chud

Columbia University Press Claude McKay The Making of a Black Bolshevik
Book SynopsisOne of the foremost Black writers and intellectuals of his era, Claude McKay (1889–1948) was a central figure in Caribbean literature, the Harlem Renaissance, and the Black radical tradition. Winston James offers a revelatory account of McKay’s political and intellectual trajectory from his upbringing in Jamaica through 1921.Trade ReviewA compelling and provocative rendering of the complex transnational racial geographies that shaped the remarkable Claude McKay. Winston James illuminates underexplored features of post-emancipation history and, through exhaustive research, dramatizes the deep entanglements between place and psyche, poetry and politics, violence and hope. -- Honor Ford-Smith, York UniversityThe wandering poet and revolutionary socialist Claude McKay was one of the twentieth century’s most captivating writers, noted for his intellectual intensity and emotional depth. Combining unparalleled erudition, literary sensitivity, and political nous, Winston James’s book provides a compelling and authoritative account of the life that McKay made and the circumstances within which he made it. -- Peter Hulme, professor emeritus, University of EssexMeticulously researched and superbly written, this is the premier work on Claude McKay’s astonishing artistic range and diverse passions. It is also an incisive examination of the wider Jamaican and Caribbean colonial context, and a major contribution to the history of the Atlantic world, the Harlem Renaissance, and the overlooked connection with the founders of Négritude. -- Franklin W. Knight, Leonard and Helen R. Stulman Professor Emeritus of History, Johns Hopkins UniversityWinston James’s resurrection of the many lives of Claude McKay is a revelation. Page after page, his McKay becomes an increasingly startling figure, never conforming to prevailing expectations. As the narrative gathers pace, McKay shimmers, the life outgrowing the circumstances of his history. The unfolding story presents us with a portrait that is simultaneously compelling and troubling. McKay will never be the same. -- Bill Schwarz, Queen Mary University of LondonJames provides a deep understanding of McKay’s early political formation and radicalization and how these origins structured McKay’s thinking and art. He ably historicizes McKay while retaining a keen sensitivity to McKay’s literary contributions. -- Michelle Ann Stephens, Rutgers University–New BrunswickElegantly written and carefully reasoned, this is a fascinating look at the political evolution of a key literary figure. * Publishers Weekly *James is a perceptive literary critic, and his close readings are some of the most electrifying parts of The Making of a Black Bolshevik. -- Jennifer Wilson * Dissent Magazine *A powerfully relevant study about an iconoclastic Black thinker and poet who was dedicated to economic reform as well as the eradication of racism. -- Thomas Filbin * The Arts Fuse *The revolutionary Jamaican poet Claude McKay deserves a good Marxist biographer and has found one. Winston James’s new book on McKay illuminates the mind and art of one of the most important writers of the early twentieth century as it responded to the seismic contest between capitalism, colonialism, and Socialism in the age of the Russian Revolution. -- Bill Mullen * Tempest Magazine *[In] The Making of a Black Bolshevik, McKay properly joins the greats of black America, now accorded his due respect in this scrupulous and thoughtful study. It is a wonderful book, which draws the reader into McKay’s tempestuous world. At every point James’s interpretation is coolly judicious, bringing a lifetime’s thought to fruition. * History Workshop's Radical Reads of 2022 *Writing with precision and flair and drawing on his own impeccable research, James limns McKay's political life and legacy of influence in American letters . . . Highly recommended. -- L. L. Johnson * Choice Reviews *Claude McKay goes beyond biography. Although an excellent biography of a pivotal period in McKay's early political education, the book is also an important contribution to scholarship in several other fields . . . Few scholars have been so detailed and sympathetic in their treatment of McKay's early experiences. James has succeeded in effectively demonstrating how McKay's ideology was marked by both continuity and change and has given serious weight to the idea that McKay and his black contemporaries were ahead of their time ideologically. -- Jasmine Calver * H-Socialisms *James is the ideal person to author such a work . . . [This] biography makes important interventions. -- Owen Walsh * Radical Americas *A trenchant and astonishing work. James’ care with details, research, and analysis—along with a pleasurable style of writing—make for a captivating biography of the first part of McKay’s radical life. -- Joel Wendland-Liu * People's World *Table of ContentsList of AbbreviationsAcknowledgmentsProloguePart I: Jamaican Beginnings: The Formation of a Black Fabian, 1889–19121.

Columbia University Press Enforcing Freedom
Book SynopsisKerwin Kaye offers an ethnographic account of drug courts and mandatory treatment centers as a system of coercion, demonstrating how the state uses notions of rehabilitation as a means of social regulation. Enforcing Freedom presents a critical perspective on the punitive side of criminal-justice reform and points toward alternative paths forward.Trade ReviewIn Enforcing Freedom, Kaye masterfully shows how drug courts and associated therapeutic communities update concepts of cultures of poverty and biological race with contemporary idioms of addiction as brain disease and welfare dependency. Blending political and historical analysis of U.S. drug war and rehabilitation ideologies with keen ethnographic observation, this book is a must-read to understand the seduction of drug courts as a false alternative to racialized mass incarceration. -- Helena Hansen, author of Addicted to Christ: Remaking Men in Puerto Rican Pentecostal Drug MinistriesKaye has written an important, insightful, and nuanced ethnographic study of urban drug courts and, more unusually, the privatized therapeutic communities upon which they rely to deliver drug treatment services. His unique examination of the arms-length relationship between these somewhat mysterious private treatment providers and the formal court system is revelatory and spot on. While he provides a highly critical analysis, Kaye also makes a number of thoughtful ‘real world’ policy recommendations that build on and flow from his findings, and that will appeal to judicial and treatment policymakers. -- Michael Jacobson, author of Downsizing Prisons: How to Reduce Crime and End Mass IncarcerationKerwin Kaye examines how American institutions that govern illegal drug use, especially drug courts and treatment programs, define and treat 'addiction.'

Columbia University Press Enforcing Freedom
Book SynopsisKerwin Kaye offers an ethnographic account of drug courts and mandatory treatment centers as a system of coercion, demonstrating how the state uses notions of rehabilitation as a means of social regulation. Enforcing Freedom presents a critical perspective on the punitive side of criminal-justice reform and points toward alternative paths forward.Trade ReviewIn Enforcing Freedom, Kaye masterfully shows how drug courts and associated therapeutic communities update concepts of cultures of poverty and biological race with contemporary idioms of addiction as brain disease and welfare dependency. Blending political and historical analysis of U.S. drug war and rehabilitation ideologies with keen ethnographic observation, this book is a must-read to understand the seduction of drug courts as a false alternative to racialized mass incarceration. -- Helena Hansen, author of Addicted to Christ: Remaking Men in Puerto Rican Pentecostal Drug MinistriesKaye has written an important, insightful, and nuanced ethnographic study of urban drug courts and, more unusually, the privatized therapeutic communities upon which they rely to deliver drug treatment services. His unique examination of the arms-length relationship between these somewhat mysterious private treatment providers and the formal court system is revelatory and spot on. While he provides a highly critical analysis, Kaye also makes a number of thoughtful ‘real world’ policy recommendations that build on and flow from his findings, and that will appeal to judicial and treatment policymakers. -- Michael Jacobson, author of Downsizing Prisons: How to Reduce Crime and End Mass IncarcerationKerwin Kaye examines how American institutions that govern illegal drug use, especially drug courts and treatment programs, define and treat 'addiction.' This book offers new findings that show how efforts at drug control regulate citizenship and reflect racial and gender politics, ultimately revealing the intimate character of neoliberal state governance. -- Allison McKim, author of Addicted to Rehab: Race, Gender, and Drugs in the Era of Mass IncarcerationKaye not only explodes the neoliberal mythology of the beneficence of drug courts and other diversion schemes but also lays bare their continuing coercive and even brutalizing potential.

Columbia University Press America the Beautiful and Violent
Book SynopsisDexter R. Voisin provides a compelling and social-justice-oriented analysis of current trends in neighborhood violence in light of the historical and structural factors that have reproduced entrenched patterns of racial and economic inequality. He features the powerful voices and insights of black youth in Chicago and their parents and communities.Trade ReviewVoisin (Univ. of Toronto, Canada) has written a robust and captivating book detailing the impacts of neighborhood violence on the lives of impoverished black youth . . . The book is excellent in its overview of the problems at hand and the ways to address them . . . Highly recommended. -- J. A. Beicken, Rocky Mountain College * Choice *Based on years of study, Dexter Voisin has written an unusually thoughtful, sensitive, and astute meditation on violence—what it means, how it comes about, how it affects people, and how the media choose to write about it. The book’s critical yet sober stance means the author’s clear and unmistakable sense of urgency is coupled with a subtle, sophisticated sense of the many-faceted consequences of violence. A consistently enlightening work. -- Mario L. Small, author of Someone to Talk ToVoisin powerfully shows that the violence that Chicago’s black youth experience is rooted in the nation as a whole. He untangles these complex systems and offers clear and effective solutions. This book will be illuminating for scholars, policy makers, and practitioners alike. -- Mary Pattillo, author of Black on the Block: The Politics of Race and Class in the CityDexter Voisin writes with conviction, clarity, and conscience in connecting the dots between big ideas (racism, violence, resilience) and daily life through his personal story and those of the folks he has interviewed. America the Beautiful and Violent will help you understand how African American youth can not only survive, but thrive. -- Lois Takahashi, University of Southern CaliforniaMost discussions of violence focus on its horrors and have the tendency to portray perpetrators in a stereotypical manner.

Columbia University Press The Sexual Politics of Black Churches
Book SynopsisIn essays and conversations, leading writers reflect on how Black churches have participated in recent discussions about issues such as marriage equality, reproductive justice, and transgender visibility. They consider the varied ways that Black people and groups negotiate the intersections of religion, race, gender, and sexuality.Trade ReviewThe Black church is a complexly rich institution, and its sexual politics are even more complex. Yet the Black church has been caricatured as culturally monolithic and its sexual politics as dogmatically conservative. The Sexual Politics of Black Churches reveals the inaccurate and gross simplification of both of these characterizations. The interdisciplinary voices and varied approaches represented in this volume provide the kind of cultural, theological, historical, and political analyses that are necessary if one is ever to appreciate the intricate nature of Black churches and their sometime opaque sexual politics. For anyone who wants to move beyond the stereotypic tropes about Black churches as stubbornly homophobic, this volume is a must read. It does not simply build upon previous studies of Black church sexual politics; rather, it provides a new interdisciplinary approach that allows for a nuanced understanding of what has seemed too easily misunderstood and casually dismissed. -- The Very Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas, author of Resurrection Hope: A Future Where Black Lives Matter and dean of Episcopal Divinity School at Union Theological SeminaryBlack churches have been stalked by flat-footed depictions of civil rights mythology on one hand and homophobia on the other. Thankfully, this volume brings together leading scholars and thinkers to trouble those waters, helping all of us to see a history and present that is far more complex, interesting, and beautiful. -- Lerone Martin, associate professor of religious studies, Martin Luther King, Jr., Centennial Chair, director of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute, Stanford UniversityAttitudes about LGBTQ rights have changed dramatically in the United States since the start of the twenty-first century and the legalization of same-sex marriage by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2015. Communities of faith have both championed and challenged these changes. In this important and timely work, scholars explore Black churches’ responses to questions of gender, sexual identity, and marriage equality. It is a must-read for those doing ministry in the twenty-first century and those thinking about the future of Black religious faith and sexuality. -- Marla Frederick, Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Religion and Culture, Candler School of Theology, Emory UniversityCombining the genres of dialogue and essay, Josef Sorett curates one of the most rigorous and riveting engagements with the state of the Black church and its political-cultural-sexual complexities. This collection overthrows theological and critical tables, providing essential and original close readings of the contemporary Black church, its pitfalls and possibilities. The Sexual Politics of Black Churches is a refreshing and welcomed contribution to Black church and sexuality studies! -- Jeffrey Q. McCune, director of the Frederick Douglass Institute for African and African-American Studies, University of RochesterJosef Sorett and the team of scholars, practitioners, artists, and thinkers—blended at the intersections of their expertise—present readers with an invitation to explore and feel our way through important discussions of blackness, sexuality, and church/spiritual politics.

Columbia University Press Measuring the Effects of Racism
Book SynopsisA large body of research has established a relationship between experiences of racial discrimination and adverse effects on mental and physical health. Robert T. Carter and Alex L. Pieterse offer a manual for mental health professionals on how to understand, assess, and treat the effects of racism as a psychological injury.Trade Review[A] well-researched book. -- H. Steven Moffic, MD , Jessica Isom, MD, MPH , Rahn K. Bailey, MD * Psychiatric Times *It is impossible to cover immense strengths of this book in this four-page review. The authors validate many points that address a huge gap currently prominent in society and provide evidence of ways to measure the effects and impact of racism, encourage training to prepare mental health workers, and clinical ideas for working with people of color who are impacted by racism. I believe this text takes a huge step in the process of helping clients who come to mental health workers measure the effects of racism and guide future work to effectively increase the well-being of people of color who have experienced racism. This text is appropriate for all mental health workers and health-care professionals who work with individuals, families, and student groups. -- Edward N. Randle Tarleton State University, Fort Worth, Texas, USA * Social Work with Groups *Carter and Pieterse increase our understanding of and the treatability of traumatic stress that results from racism. The proposals proffered in Measuring the Effects of Racism will lead to better treatment methods of race-based trauma and increase the evidence base for advocacy and agendas for social justice. -- Hugo Kamya, Simmons UniversityDrawing on decades of experience, Robert Carter and Alex Pieterse have given us a tour de force exploration of new research on race-based traumatic stress (RBTS).

Neville, coauthor of Counseling the Culturally DiverseMeasuring the Effects of Racism is the definitive guide to understanding the scope of the psychological impact of racism.

Columbia University Press Shadow Archives
Book SynopsisShadow Archives brings to life a slew of newly discovered texts to tell the stories of black special collections and their struggle for institutional recognition. Jean-Christophe Cloutier offers revelatory readings of major African American writers and provides a nuanced view of how archives shape literary history.Trade ReviewA very timely addition to the contemporary discussion of “the archives” among scholars of African American literature, culture, and history and in literary studies generally. * Modern Philology *Jean-Christophe Cloutier’s excellent Shadow Archives reminds us that scholarly archives, especially literary archives, are always a sort of interpretation. -- James Smethurst, University of Massachusetts Amherst * Modern Philology *Though the subject is narrow, this study succeeds at being both masterfully scholarly in tone and at the same time easily comprehensible. Valuable to those in the fields of library science, history, and African American literature, this rich volume should not be overlooked...Highly recommended. * Choice *Most compelling is Cloutier’s overarching purpose: to explore the deliberate, cautious, and sometimes frustrating ways Claude McKay and three roughly contemporary African American novelists—Ann Petry, Richard Wright, and Ralph Ellison—approached the archiving and preservation of their papers, and the degrees to which archival collections clarify and reconfigure their legacies. -- Steve Nathans-Kelly * New York Journal of Books *Shadow Archives is an impressive book.... Cloutier situates his work in the larger context of archival studies and theories, makes important discoveries, and by immersing himself in the “scenario” of many texts comes to fresh insights about writers, works well known and newly discovered, as well as their notes, drafts, letters, lives, writing practices, politics, and aesthetics. -- Stephanie Browner, Eugene Lang College–The New School * Textual Cultures *Cloutier offers an encouraging look at how modern archival and scholarly practice can do justice to literary history at large through what he calls an “archival sensibility.” * The Columbia Review *[This] monograph promises a historically and theoretically grounded account of the archival practices that informed the writings of McKay, Ellison, Richard Wright, and Ann Petry. . . Generally, Cloutier’s book is highly recommended to anybody interested in African American literature of the mid-twentieth century. More specifically, any future history or theory of the archive in African American letters will have to grapple with Shadow Archives. -- Stephan Kuhl, Goethe University Frankfurt * African American Review *With Jean-Christophe Cloutier’s scholarship in hand today, we are now better informed and poised to protect the integrity of African American archives for tomorrow. * New England Quarterly *In this fascinating book, Jean-Christophe Cloutier, an expert archivist and researcher, presents an original and compelling approach to the history of African American literature through what he terms “archival sensibility.” Grounded in Cloutier’s astute and nuanced discussion of the troubled history of black literary collections, Shadow Archives reads a variety of African American novels as alternative repositories for the black experience. This thought-provoking book provides an important new lens to view the works of Claude McKay, Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, and Ann Petry; Shadow Archives is a welcome addition to literary criticism. -- Henry Louis Gates Jr., Harvard UniversityShadow Archives is a page-turner in which Cloutier follows a trail of mistakes, misplaced manuscripts, and missed opportunities that came to define much of twentieth-century African American cultural production. With scholarly ease and writerly grace, he has produced a new and essential story of how our most famous black writers—Claude McKay, Richard Wright, Ann Petry, and Ralph Ellison—actively negotiated their relationship to the past. For them, archives were never dead, but sites of political necessity, historic urgency, and, as Cloutier compellingly shows, a space through which they could reinvent themselves and American culture writ large. -- Salamishah Tillet, author of Sites of Slavery: Citizenship and Racial Democracy in the Post-Civil Rights ImaginationNo novel in hiding is safe from Jean-Christophe Cloutier. He is—hands and laptops down—one of the very best literary detectives and literary historians of his talented generation. In Shadow Archives, he offers a genuinely fresh look at twentieth-century African American writing focused on the rise of black special collections and on the archival entanglements of a who’s who of modern black novelists. It will be one of the best academic books of the year, a memorable contribution to African American studies and a fruitful redirection of the archival turn in American literary scholarship. -- William J. Maxwell, Washington University in St. LouisAs much a tour de force of archival sleuthing as an indispensable theoretical recalibration, Shadow Archives demonstrates that mid-twentieth-century black literature was indelibly molded by the “archival sensibility” of black writers. Tracking the peculiar fate and promise of African American literary papers in the midst of the boom in special collections libraries, Cloutier’s book is literary history in the guise of a boomerang—an exhilarating reminder of the “belated timeliness” and lurking potential of even the neglected and the obsolete. -- Brent Hayes Edwards, author of The Practice of Diaspora: Literature, Translation, and the Rise of Black InternationalismTable of ContentsList of IllustrationsAcknowledgmentsAbbreviationsIntroduction: “Not Like an Arrow, but a Boomerang,” or The Lifecycles of Twentieth-Century African American Literary Papers1.
