Book SynopsisA groundbreaking theory on the origins of writing, now presented for a general audience.Trade ReviewDiscoveries in the history of writing are rare, but Denise Schmandt-Besserat made one in realizing that phonetic writing in the West descends not from pictography, a view repeated everywhere, but from abstract, nonphonetic, mostly noniconographic accounting tokens used in Neolithic farming communities of the Near East beginning from about 8000 B.C.

University of Wisconsin Press The Road to Home Rule Antiimperialism and the
Book SynopsisIn the 1870s and 1880s, in Irish eyes, misrule by British officials and absentee landlords mirrored imperial oppression across the globe. Paul Townend shows that a growing critique of British imperialism shaped a rapidly evolving Irish political consciousness and was a crucial factor giving momentum to the Home Rule and Land League campaigns.Trade Review“A bold and original interpretation in which empire emerges as the essential context—rather than a mere sideshow or backdrop—for the rise of Irish nationalism. To find the origins of Home Rule, we will now need to look not simply at the internal politics of the United Kingdom but at Irish responses to events in India, Egypt, Sudan, and South Africa.”—Kevin Kenny, Boston College“Thoroughly engaging. . . . The work is a major step forward in its discernment that a radical, principled anti-imperialism lay at the heart of the constitutional nationalist tradition in the latter years of the nineteenth century.”—Breac

University of Wisconsin Press Keep the Wretches in Order Americas Biggest Mass
Book SynopsisFrom 1917 the US Department of Justice systematically targeted the US's most radical union, the Industrial Workers of the World, resulting in the largest mass trial in US history. In the first legal history of the trial, Dean Strang shows how the case laid the groundwork for a fundamentally different strategy to stifle radical threats.Trade ReviewDean Strang tells a great story of America's struggle with fear and injustice a century ago while asking us to consider, 'What is the story of ourselves that we write today?' American workers still fight what the Wobblies fought in 1918, as the Justice Department during WWI overreached in ways similar to our current 'war on terror.' Dean is a great attorney and a gifted writer, borrowing lessons from the past to help guide our future." - Alec Baldwin"Strang humanizes this shameful chapter in our nation's history. With empathy and verve, he tells the story of abuse of executive power, a partial and wacky federal judge (and autocratic first baseball commissioner), and many ruined lives of working men and women." - Brad Snyder, author of The House of Truth: A Washington Political Salon and the Foundations of American Liberalism

University of California Press Racial Uncertainties Mexican Americans School
Book SynopsisMexican American racial uncertainty has long been a defining feature of US racial understanding. Were Mexican Americans white or nonwhite? In the postcivil rights period, this racial uncertainty took on new meaning as the courts, the federal bureaucracy, local school officials, parents, and community activists sought to turn Mexican American racial identity to their own benefit. This is the first book that examines the pivotal 1973 Keyes v. Denver School District No. 1 Supreme Court ruling, and how debates over Mexican Americans' racial position helped reinforce the emerging tropes of colorblind racial ideology. In the postcivil rights era, when overt racism was no longer socially acceptable, anti-integration voices utilized the indeterminacy of Mexican American racial identity to frame their opposition to school desegregation. That some Mexican Americans adopted these tropes only reinforced the strength of colorblindness in battles against civil rights in the 1970s.Trade Review"This is an important book, and educational, civil rights, and Texas historians will find much within to appreciate and discuss." * Southwestern Historical Quarterly *"Racial Uncertainties explains how racial and ethnic identities are both time and space specific but also how the law works to cement our understanding of identity and eliminate the possibility for fluidity." * The Society for US Intellectual History *Table of ContentsContents Acknowledgments Introduction 1 • (Un)making Mexican American Racial Identity, 1848–1964 2 • Racial Migrations: The Mile High City in Transition, 1945–1969 3 • Public Schools in Denver’s Racialized Urban Geography 4 • Becoming Minority under the Law 5 • “Not White, Yet Not, in the Old-Style Parlance, ‘Colored’ ” 6 • “American,” Not “Minority”: Mexican Americans and Colorblindness Conclusion Notes Bibliography Index
