University of Virginia Press Children of the Raven and the Whale
Book SynopsisTaking its cue from Perry Miller's 1956 classic of American literary criticism, The Raven and the Whale, Caroline Chamberlin Hellman examines ways in which contemporary multi-ethnic American writers of the United States have responded to nineteenth- and early twentieth-century texts historically central to the American literary canon.Trade Review"In Children of the Raven and the Whale, Caroline Chamberlin Hellman makes an effective case for conceiving recent achievements in U.S. fiction and memoir as part of a ‘Third American Renaissance’ inspired by the legacies of the mid-nineteenth century and the modernist period. Drawing judiciously on theories of intertextuality and literary influence, Hellman offers a set of useful case studies in the dynamics of U.S. literary history, while illuminating the connections of recent writing to an American past and a global present."

New York University Press Fans Bloggers and Gamers
Book SynopsisHenry Jenkins' pioneering work in the early 1990s promoted the idea that fans are among the most active, creative, critically engaged, and socially connected consumers of popular culture. This title takes readers from Jenkins' early work defending fan culture against those who would marginalize or stigmatize it, through to his work.Trade ReviewJenkins is one of us: a geek, a fan, a popcult packrat. He's also an incisive and unflinching critic. His affection for the subject and sharp eye for 'what it all means' are an unbeatable combination. This is fascinating, engrossing and enlightening reading. -- Cory Doctorow,author of Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town and co-editor of Boing BoingJenkins persuasively argues in favor of taking the fan’s perspective in analyzing television-- and this is the cornerstone of the new turn in Cultural Studies. * Claremont Review of Books *Table of ContentsContentsIntroduction: Confessions of an Aca/Fan I Inside Fandom1 Excerpts from "Matt Hills Interviews Henry Jenkins" 2 Star Trek Rerun, Reread, Rewritten: Fan Writing as Textual Poaching 3 "Normal Female Interest in Men Bonking"4 "Out of the Closet and into the Universe": Queers and Star Trek with John CampbellII Going Digital5 "Do You Enjoy Making the Rest of Us Feel Stupid?": alt.tv.twinpeaks, the Trickster Author, and Viewer Mastery 6 Interactive Audiences?

New York University Press Slaverys Exiles The Story of the American
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewSylviane A. Diouf has made an enormous contribution to our understanding of enslaved people's lives with her study of the maroons in the American South. Slavery's Exilesdispels the myth that maroon communities only existed in places such as the Caribbean and Brazil, firmly placing the maroons of mainland North America within larger discussions of slave resistance. * The North Carolina Historical Review *In a book that is easily accessible yet rigorously researched, analyzed, and argued, Diouf has made a compelling case that scholars of slavery and of early American history must consider the presence of maroons in the U.S. with a sense of renewed urgency. As she so eloquently and brilliantly shows, maroons exhibited a form of self-determined, autonomy-seeking resistance to slavery that complicates our understanding of fugitivity and freedom as they are generally bound up in a North/South, free/unfree binaristic imaginary. * Journal of the Early Republic *Diouf has scoured archives across the United States, examining accounts of fugitives throughout the Slave South to uncover the hidden history of American maroons, and produced a highly readable, original study that deserves a broad scholarly and popular audience. * Journal of the Civil War Era *The book is clear and easy to read . . . Diouf's book is important because for the first time it really foregrounds marronage in North America . . . Diouf extends the range by demonstrating the ubiquity of marronage in virtually every southern state. It should be required reading for any scholar of North American slavery. * Journal of American Studies *In writing that is deeply informative, with vivid anecdotes when available, including horrors of punishment enacted when maroons were captured, this book is recommended to those wishing to pursue the study of American slavery beyond more general texts. * Library Journal *She tells the story of a few large communities, most notably that of the Great Dismal Swamp, and briefly examines the marronage subgroups of bandits and insurrectionists, but the triumph here is the author's portrait of the day-to-day precariousness of maroon lives, the courage and resourcefulness required for survival, and the terrible price they paid for trying to recover their freedom. A neglected chapter of the American slave experience brought sensitively and vividly to life. * Kirkus *[T]he stories are riveting. Readers will become familiar with colorful characters like Captain Cudjoe of Jamaica or the man nicknamed 'Forest' for his skill at hiding, and they will learn surprising facts about maroons participation in trade and defense, along with horrific details of punishments . . . . [I]ts a notable document for its treatment of the subject. * Publishers Weekly *This extensively and thoroughly researched study brings to light a little-known aspect of slavery in the United States . . . a fascinating read. Diouf has done a brilliant job of illuminating a complicated, multifaceted, important, yet little-known piece of black American history. -- Annette Madden * The Baobab Tree *With impressive research and vivid prose, Diouf directs our attention to maroons within the United States. From the Great Dismal Swamp of Virginia to the frontier regions of Louisiana, she shows, fugitive slaves managed to survive without fleeing to the North. An important addition to our understanding of slave society and black resistance. -- Eric Foner,author of The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American SlaveryDiouf persuasively captures the quiet heroism of North American maroons. Less dramatic and long-lived than many of the maroon communities in Suriname, Jamaica, or Brazil, those in the southern United States were nonetheless ever present. Diouf demonstrates how much freedom mattered to the enslaved and how, within the limited possibilities open to them, those that set off into the inhospitable swamps and forests managed to forge a new life beyond the authority of whitefolks. -- Richard Price,author of Maroon SocietiesIn contrast to the study of slavery elsewhere, six decades of research in the United States has systematically bypassed the issue of marronage. Sylviane Dioufs exhaustive research has not only brought the subject to center stage, it offers a framework for recasting the study of runaway slaves throughout the Americas. This is one of those rare books that is at once of scholarly significance and will engage a wide readership. -- David Eltis,Robert W. Woodruff Professor of History, Emory UniversityLike other books that Sylviane A. Diouf has written, this one examines a fascinating, though neglected topic in African Diaspora history . . . Diouf advances the discourse by using a landscape perspective to offer an alternative to the grand/petit marronage dichotomy . . . Her attention to borderland (adjacent to plantations) and hinterland (remote from plantations or cities) conditions and logistics reflects an appreciation of the wider context framing relations between enslaved and free people, which stands in contrast to the dated view of plantations as islands with impermeable boundaries . . . Diouf has produces a well-written and balanced account... She backs her arguments with evidence, illuminates trends, and accounts for contradictions. * American Historical Review *This is a very important book that opens a window into an understudied aspect of American slavery. It deserves a wide readership. * American Nineteenth Century History *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction 1 The Development of Marronage in the South 2 African Maroons 3 Borderland Maroons 4 Daily Life at the Borderlands 5 Hinterland Maroons 6 The Maroons of Bas du Fleuve, Louisiana: From the Borderlands to the Hinterland 7 The Maroons of Belleisle and Bear Creek 8 The Great Dismal Swamp 9 The Maroon Bandits 10 Maroons, Conspiracies, and Uprisings 11 Out of the Wilds Conclusion Notes Select BibliographyIndex About the Author

New York University Press Sapphistries A Global History of Love between
Book SynopsisCaptures the multitude of ways that diverse societies have shaped female same-sex sexuality across time and placeTrade ReviewSapphistries is amazing.. -- John D'Emilio,author of Intimate Matters: A History of Sexuality in AmericaSapphistries: A Global History of Love Between Women achieves what it set out to do by providing an overview of lesbian love from a historical and cultural perspective. * Popmatters.com *Every decade or so, a brave thinker makes an attempt to chart the historical maps of women loving women. Rupps contribution is perhaps one of the most elegant and interestingmaking up for the lapses of the past, Sapphistries sails an international course, giving us a rich mix of historical sources and an even richer gift of asking questions at just the right places. -- Joan Nestle,co-editor of GenderQueerRupps sweeping and highly readable synthesis of womens same-sex love and sexuality is also a finely crafted work of historical analysis. Her deep knowledge of the sources, from ancient to modern times, is truly impressive, while her use of literary imaginings make this a unique contribution to sexuality studies. -- Estelle Freedman,author of No Turning BackRupp has given us an invaluable history that promises to inform and inspire. * San Francisco Chronicle *Judicious, copious, scholarly and heartfelt, it will appeal equally to general readers and serious historians for its carefully chosen content and its novel methodology... As to methodology, Rupp is an old school historian who scrupulously recognizes the limitations of her craft, but who doesnt let those limitations keep her from rich imaginings and a refreshingly humane interest in the historical record... Sixty six pages of endnotes attest to the seriousness of the work; over two hundred pages of lucid and accessible prose make history fun again. * Salem Press, Magill Book Reviews *The narrative shines when Rupp describes love between women in its many forms, whether innocent (the schoolgirl & raves of early twentieth-century England) or romantic (intense & romantic friendships throughout the Western world) or outright erotic. With acute cultural sensitivity and a panoramic scope stretching from early Native American societies to contemporary India, Rupp delivers an academically rigorous and brilliantly told history. * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *Rupp succeeds in writing a fascinating and at times startling transnational history. . . . The range of this book is extraordinary. . . . Rupp has given us an invaluable history that promises to inform and inspire. * The San Francisco Chronicle *This is a useful source text that expands, rather than contracts, the interpretations of erotic subjectivities among women who desire women. * Historian *A fascinating book about the history of same-sex female attraction. . .reminds the reader all too poignantly never to take hard-won sexual freedoms for granted. * Bust Magazine *Rupps intellectually ambitious monograph attempts to present and trace the diverse threads of lesbian history in a worldwide and comparative framework... The resulting text is thought-provoking, readable, and challenging and belongs in every college and university library. * CHOICE *Table of ContentsPreface 1 Introduction 2 In the Beginning (40,000-1200 BCE) 3 In Ancient Worlds (3500 BCE-800 CE) 4 In Unlikely Places (500 BCE-1600 CE) 5 In Plain Sight (1100-1900) 6 Finding Each Other (1600-1900) 7 What's in a Name?

New York University Press Judging Addicts
Book SynopsisThe number of people incarcerated in the U.S. now exceeds 2.3 million, due in part to the increasing criminalization of drug use: over 25% of people incarcerated in jails and prisons are there for drug offenses. Judging Addicts examines this increased criminalization of drugs and the medicalization of addiction in the U.S. by focusing on drug courts, where defendants are sent to drug treatment instead of prison. Rebecca Tiger explores how advocates of these courts make their case for what they call enlightened coercion, detailing how they use medical theories of addiction to justify increased criminal justice oversight of defendants who, through this process, are defined as both sick and bad. Tiger shows how these courts fuse punitive and therapeutic approaches to drug use in the name of a progressive and enlightened approach to addiction. She critiques the medicalization of drug users, showing how the disease designation can complement, rather than contradict, punitive approaTrade Review[T]his is an excellent book that will be of interest to sociologists who study punishment, health, deviance, and social control. It is well written and persuasive. Tiger effectively brought the sociology of knowledge to bear on a contemporary, policy-relevant question. This is no small accomplishment. While there are other critical books on drug courts available, Tigers approach is fresh and unique and therefore should be required reading by anyone studying the drug court movement. * Social Forces *[Judging Addicts] is interesting and well written, and perhaps its greatest strength lies in the way in which its author sets her discussion of the drug court initiative in a historic context. * Drugs: Education, Prevention and Policy *Table of ContentsBoth Bad and Sick2 Criminalizing Deviance: Reconciling the Punitive and Rehabilitative3 "The Right Thing to Do for the Right Reasons": The Institutional Context for the Emergence of Drug Courts 4 "Enlightened Coercion": Making Coercion Work5 "Force Is the Best Medicine": AddictionRecovery, and Coercion6 "Now That We Know the Medicine Works": Expanding the Drug Court Model

Book SynopsisMoishe Rozenbaumas (1922-2016) recounts his fascinating life, from his Lithuanian boyhood, to the fraught experiences that take him across Europe and Central Asia and back again, to his daring escape from Soviet Russia to build a new life in Paris.Trade ReviewA fascinating read that portrays life in Telz, the vibrant Jewish shtetl or market town that was also a famous Yeshiva center.
