Yale University Press My Bondage and My Freedom
Book SynopsisBorn into slavery in 1818, the author escaped to freedom and became a passionate advocate for abolition and social change and the foremost spokesperson for the nation's enslaved African American population in the years preceding the Civil War. This book recounts his remarkable life.Trade Review"David Blight has produced a fine edition of Douglass' second autobiography. This is an essential work in African-American and American history, and displays Douglass' developing strength as a writer and political leader."—Richard Slotkin, Wesleyan University"With scorching rhetoric, my heroic ancestor rails against the inhumanity of slavery while upholding the tenets of liberty with poetic elegance. In this new edition, David Blight offers a fresh perspective on my great-great-great grandfather's life from his enslavement on the eastern shore of Maryland to his emergence as a revolutionary leader at the center of a national crisis over the future of slavery."—Kenneth B. Morris, Jr., Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives"David Blight's graceful introduction provides the essential historical context, public as well as private, and helps us appreciate how Douglass's great book managed to be at once a piercing polemic, an extraordinary act of memory, and a masterpiece of American prose."—James Oakes, City University of New York

Yale University Press Going There
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Wide-ranging and painstakingly researched, Going There situates Black visual satire in historical, political, and discursive contexts that tease out the nuances of the form.”—crystal am nelson, caa.reviews“An amazing book that dares to ‘go there,’ plunging into the depths of black visual satire, an abyss where monsters and minstrels revel in the madness of racism. Richard Powell’s deeply learned and brilliantly written text dances alertly through the minefield of stereotype and caricature to reveal the critical power of satire.”—W. J. T. Mitchell, author of Seeing Through Race and Mental Traveler: A Father, a Son, and a Journey through Schizophrenia“Going There is a groundbreaking study of African-American visual satire. Powell presents a comprehensive, rigorous, and well-researched investigation into this thorny arena, illuminating some of the most controversial artworks of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.”—Derek Conrad Murray, author of Queering Post-Black Art: Artists Transforming African-American Identity After Civil Rights“With a steady hand, Powell grounds the tradition of black visual satire in its historical, political, and discursive context. But he doesn’t drain the images of their risk. Powell honors the intelligence and audacity of the works and their creators and, most importantly, gives black satire its full historical, aesthetic, and political due.”—Mike Sell, author of The Avant-Garde: Race, Religion, War“Satire and the black condition. An endless quagmire of slippery slopes, and inverted dialogues. Richard Powell skillfully dissects the social dynamics of humor in the black context demonstrating how we are perpetrators, and those perpetrated upon. It is a must read for all Americans willing to implicate themselves. No one will escape.”—Lowery Stokes Sims, co-editor, Race and Art Matters: The Career of Robert Colescott

Yale University Press Sanford Biggers Codeswitch
Book SynopsisWhat I want to do is code-switch. To have there be layers of history and politics, but also this heady, arty stuffinside jokes, black humorthat you might have to take a while to research if you want to really get it.Sanford Biggers Sanford Biggers (b. 1970) is a Harlem-based artist working in various media including painting, sculpture, video, and performance. He describes his practice as code-switchingmixing disparate elements to create layers of meaningto account for his wide-ranging interests. This catalogue focuses on a series of repurposed quilts (many madein the 19th century) that embodies this interest in mixture. Informed by the significance of quilts to the Underground Railroad, Biggers transforms the quilts into new works using materials such as paint, tar, glitter, and charcoal to add his own layers of codes, whether they be historical, political, or purely artistic. Insightful essays survey Biggers's career, his art in relation to music, and the history upon which the serie

Book SynopsisAn eminent scholar finds a new American history in the Hispanic past of our diverse nation.Trade Review"With a lucid, engaging style, [Fernandez-Armesto] seeks to understand the continuity between the Spanish colonization and the fight for justice led by the Chicano movement in the sixties and by immigration advocates today...This is an invitation to look at America in full!" -- Ilan Stavans, general editor of The Norton Anthology of Latino History "In enviably lyrical prose, Felipe Fernandez-Armesto has written a bold and compelling synthesis of our nation's Hispanic past, from the Spanish arrival in the late fifteenth century to the current and contentious debate over immigration reform. Marshaling famous and forgotten individuals and events, he reminds us that there is much more to America's story than simply Massachusetts Pilgrims and Virginia Cavaliers." -- Andrew R. Graybill, director, Clements Center for Southwest Studies, Southern Methodist University "A rich and moving chronicle ... Perhaps the first history to make the case for this nation's becoming a bright Latin American country." -- Julio Ortega "Exceedingly well-written and engaging." -- Hector Tobar "Triumphantly rescues Hispanic America from obscurity."

WW Norton & Co Blood at the Root
Book SynopsisA gripping tale of racial cleansing in the American South and a harrowing testament to the deep roots of racial violence in America.Trade Review"In gripping and devastating detail, writer and poet Phillips uncovers a history of lynching, racial violence, terrorism, and white supremacy... There are few heroes in this accounting, which stands as a sobering reminder that the racial fantasies and fears that have ruled so much of our history only continue to haunt the present." -- Library Journal "This is a gripping, timely, and important examination of American racism, and Phillips tells it with rare clarity and power." -- Publisher's Weekly (starred) "Phillips brings a journalist's crisp perspective to this precise and disquieting account of a reprehensible and underreported chapter in America's racial history." -- Booklist, Starred review "An impressive reckoning with a shameful piece of the past that 'most natives of Forsyth would prefer to leave ... scattered in the state's dusty archives or safely hidden in plain sight.'" -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Nothing undermines social justice more than our collective ignorance about the racial terrorism that haunts too many places in America. Blood at the Root is a must-read, thorough, detailed, and powerful. It's a story we need to know and never forget." -- Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy "There are places the civil rights movement literally passed by, and for decades Forsyth County was one of those pockets. Blood at the Root is a vital investigation of Forsyth's history, and of the process by which racial injustice is perpetuated in America." -- U.S. Congressman John Lewis, author of March "Some would say that Patrick Phillips should leave well enough alone and keep quiet... But [his] voice is too honest, too brave, and too brilliant to be silenced. With a poet's gift for music, and with a detective's dedication to the facts, Blood at the Root faces the specter of a bloody history without turning its back on the hope that the present has brought us. If the truth sets us free, this book will give you wings." -- Tayari Jones, author of Silver Sparrow "The burden of southern history lies not in what we know about the past but what we do not know. Patrick Phillips uncovers an important untold piece of history... What he reveals in this important book does not make this chilling piece of the past any easier to bear, but he brings it into sharper focus, which is long overdue." -- W. Ralph Eubanks, author of Ever is a Long Time: A Journey in Mississippi's Dark Past

Phillips...is a gifted storyteller." -- Matthew Delmont - The Boston Globe "Phillips' book feels timely, unapologetically discussing the way fear, panic, ignorance, and timing may have kept Forsyth County trapped in the past." -- William Lee - The Chicago Tribune "There are places the civil rights movement literally passed by, and for decades Forsyth County was one of those pockets.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Ethnicity and Development
Book SynopsisFollowing the collapse of international communism and the ending of the Cold War, the decade of the 1990s has seen international conflict replaced by internal, largely ethnic, conflict both of a violent and of a nonviolent nature. As a result, ethnicity has become one of the most important issues of the day. The social sciences and development studies have been slow to adopt new theoretical and practical perspectives with which to address this fundamentally changed situation. In traditional modernisation theory, ethnicity has been seen as an obstacle and claims to ethnic identity as anti-developmental. This book seeks to contribute towards a re-thinking of this position by focusing on the question of how policies of material improvement can be made compatible with the maintenance of fundamental ethnic identities which, in some senses, can even be considered a human right. Its argument is developed in two ways: firstly through a series of geographical studies, which examine the politicaTable of ContentsPartial table of contents: CONCEPTS OF ETHNICITY AND DEVELOPMENT.

LUP - University of Michigan Press Counting the Tigers Teeth
Book SynopsisNarrates a crucial turning point in Nigerian history, the Agbekoya rebellion of 1968-70, as chronicled by Toyin Falola, reflecting on his firsthand experiences as a teenage witness to history. Falola, the foremost scholar of Africa of this generation, illuminates the complex factors that led to this armed conflict and details the unfolding of major events and manoeuvres.Trade Review“With this book Toyin Falola joins a band of distinguished and special historians who participated in the making of history they narrate…I found this book as enjoyable as Trotsky's history of the Russian Revolution. While the scale of the two historical incidents are different, the writing is as close to the guts and as stirring of the senses as any personal history can be. This book also distinguishes itself as a modern classic in which one culture (Yoruba rebellion) is successfully written in the language of another (English). A unique reading experience.”—Kole Omotoso“Chronicles the cultures and traditions of Yorubaland of the 1960s, including the predominance of African traditional religions; Christianity; Islam; polygamy; agriculture; education; work ethics; and sacrifice . . . a must read for scholars of African life-writing, history, sociology, economics, politics, and gender studies, as well as those interested in African, Diaspora, comparative studies and the autobiographical genre.”—Adetayo Alabi, University of Mississippi“‘When an old man dies, a library is burned,’ said the late Hampate Ba. Book by book, Toyin Falola is building a library for Africa and the world, fashioned from his memories, wit, and wisdom. His are the tales of a generation who came of age at the same time as their nations. The tales are compelling, fierce, and funny, to be read and cherished.”—Aminatta Forna, author of The Memory of Love

LUP - University of Michigan Press Uncle Toms Cabins
Book SynopsisAs Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin travelled around the world, it was molded by the imaginations and needs of international audiences. For over 150 years it has been coopted for a dazzling array of causes far from what its author envisioned. This book tells thirteen variants of Uncle Tom's journey.Trade ReviewSweeping in its scope and imaginative in its approach, this collection challenges contemporary scholars to revisit one of the most influential works in the American canon and to recognize that mere national borders never have and never can curtail the flow of ideas and culture. The essays illuminate the ways that even seemingly innocuous adaptations or translations shaped the resonance of Uncle Tom's Cabin for audiences around the world. The study should be a model for how to approach the impact of translation and adaptation across time and in different cultural contexts." - Heather S. Nathans, Tufts University
