MP-VIR Uni of Virginia Caribbean Jewish Crossings
Book SynopsisThe first essay collection to consider the Caribbean's relationship to Jewishness through a literary lens. Although Caribbean novelists and poets regularly incorporate Jewish motifs in their work, scholars have neglected this strain in studies of Caribbean literature.Trade Review" Caribbean Jewish Crossings will make a significant contribution to diaspora, Caribbean, and Jewish studies, as well as to related fields (postcolonial, Holocaust, and American studies) because it provides a wide-ranging and accessible introduction to a largely overlooked yet critical aspect of Caribbean history and literary history. Sarah Phillips Casteel and Heidi Kaufman are the leading scholars in the field, and they have included an impressively broad selection of scholarship." On the heels on Sarah Phillips Casteel’s ground-breaking study of Jewishness in the Caribbean, Calypso Jews, this excellent collection, co-edited with Casteel and Heidi Kaufman, continues to explore this important and generally neglected nexus. The discourse around "Blacks and Jews" has often overlooked the historically and culturally rich points of intersection between these groups in the Caribbean. Diasporic Caribbean literature as well as native texts reflect these overlaps in fascinating ways that Caribbean Jewish Crossings, organized thematically, foregrounds. The anthology includes scholarly essays as well as creative and thoughtful works by Caribbean and other writers. A beautiful reflection from the thoughtful and prolific English-Caribbean writer Caryl Phillips tells the origin story of one of his most fascinating texts, The Nature of Blood. The novel, he tells us, was largely written out of the familiar spaces of New York, London, and St. Kitts, in Bangkok, in diaspora, in a state of foreignness. As he wove the stories together that would form into this intricate novel, Phillips was reminded how "appallingly circular history can be, how replete with ironies, how chilling.

MP-VIR Uni of Virginia Drone Enlightenment
Book SynopsisFocusing specifically on the United States’ use of killer drones during the War on Terror, Drone Enlightenment argues that this kind of warfare has its intellectual, ideological, and practical roots in the way the Enlightenment imagined moral agency, occupation, race, and sovereignty.Trade Review“DeGabriele makes original use of the drone and contemporary drone warfare to open up new readings of the early Enlightenment natural right tradition, as well as using that tradition to reread the drone to examine its relation to questions of sovereignty, occupation and the right to kill. The book straddles Enlightenment philosophy, British literature, warfare, and colonialism past and present, breathing fresh life into an often asthmatic area of scholarship.” - Tony C.

MP-VIR Uni of Virginia Break and Flow Hip Hop Poetics in the Americas
Book SynopsisDraws on years of ethnographic fieldwork and collaboration, as well as an archive of hundreds of songs by more than sixty hip hop artists. Charlie Hankin illuminates how new media is used to produce and distribute knowledge in the Global South, refining our understanding of poetry and popular music at the turn of the millennium.Trade Review“Break and Flow is the product of great learning and greater passion. It draws on Hankin’s extensive fieldwork in Cuba, Brazil, and Haiti to showcase the poetic innovation and political impact of rap artists responding to colonial legacies, present-day political circumstances, and their own aesthetic imperatives. Hankin’s book exercises close analysis (by eye and by ear), critical theory, and a keen historical sensibility to produce a work of scholarship that celebrates three underexplored sites of hip-hop artistry.” - Adam Bradley, UCLA, author of Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip HopTable of Contents Introduction 1.

University of Virginia Press Constitutional Powers and Politics How Citizens
Book SynopsisIn this timely book, Eileen Braman explores how American citizens think about government across all three branches, applying a rigorous political scientific methodology to explore why citizens may support potentially risky changes to the American governing system.Trade Review“A well-written, well-researched, and timely book that takes an interdisciplinary approach to addressing questions core to American democracy. Braman uses an impressive array of nationally representative survey experiments and paints a nuanced picture of how the public views institutional change and legitimacy. This is a one-of-a-kind book in the field of political science.” - Paul M. Collins Jr., University of Massachusetts, Amherst, author of Friends of the Supreme Court: Interest Groups and Judicial Decision Making“The American political system is in crisis. Gridlock has given way to anti-democratic sentiments that delegitimize the polity. Braman offers a remarkable perspective by pinpointing what shapes Americans’ beliefs about institutions. Cutting edge theory and rigorous empirical analyses reveal that when people believe institutions are working against personal and societal interests, they support fundamental change to the governance structure. Braman’s foundational contribution reorients conversations by making clear that democracy can be sustained with popular institutional changes.” - James N. Druckman, Northwestern University, co-author, with Lawrence R. Jacobs, of Who Governs? Presidents, Public Opinion, and ManipulationTable of Contents List of Tables Preface Acknowledgements Introduction 1.
