University of Minnesota Press Bad Aboriginal Art
Book SynopsisBad Aboriginal Art is the extraordinary account of Eric Michaels’ period of residence and work with the Warlpiri Aborigines of western Central Australia, where he studied the impact of television on remote Aboriginal communities.Sharp, exact, and unrelentingly honest, Michaels records with an extraordinary combination of distance and immersion the intervention of technology into a remote Aboriginal community and that community’s forays into the technology of broadcasting. Michaels’s analyses in Bad Aboriginal Art will disrupt and redirect current debates surrounding the theory and practice of anthropology, ethnography, film and video making, communications policy, and media studies - no less than his work has already disrupted and redirected the cultural technologies of both the Warlpiri and Australian technocrats.

University of Minnesota Press Who Speaks for Margaret Garner
Book SynopsisA fascinating documentary history of the fugitive slave case that captivated the nation-and inspired Toni Morrison's acclaimed novel Beloved.Trade Review"Mark Reinhardt’s thoughtful presentation does American identity a tremendous favor. Although the theater may already have introduced Margaret Garner's sensational tragedy, only now can we follow her excruciating transit through competing jurisdictions and contentious representations. Reinhardt grapples honestly with the fine grain of racial subordination on the eve of the Civil War, paying attention to the silences of forgetting as well as the record of remembering." —Nell Irvin Painter, author of Sojourner Truth: A Life, a Symbol"Of all the fugitive slave cases, the Margaret Garner case was singular. Reinhardt’s comprehensive volume documents the full panoply of the public argument, in the courts and the popular media, North and South, over the meaning of Garner’s actions as a freedom-seeking slave mother. Who Speaks for Margaret Garner? shows us why any effort to reclaim the ever-elusive Garner today must reckon with those who tried to speak for and against her more than 150 years ago." —William L. Andrews, University of North Carolina at Chapel HillTable of ContentsContents Preface Introduction: A Strange Case? Documents 1. Escape and Capture 2. In the Commissioner's Court 3. Return 4.

Christine Acham gets it and spells it out. Got it?" - Richard Pryor "This work is vitally important to understanding how the Black Power and Arts Movements, the Chitlin' Circuit and television history converged in the 1970s with mixed results." - Black Issues Book Review"
