The setting is the mysterious Okefenokee in southern Georgia, ""the Swamp that pulled a man down and never let him go."" Movie versions were made in 1941 (by Jean Renoir) and in 1951.Trade ReviewSwamp Water is, in a sense, melodrama―a fast, taut, somewhat lurid yarn. . . . Mr. Bell, however, knows his people and his background so thoroughly, writes with so much simplicity and directness and such a complete lack of sensationalism, that his story is lifted above the category of the merely thrilling and picturesque. Swamp Water, in fact, is not only a very good tale but very nearly a brilliant one." — New York Times"This is the sort of American story Americans take to their bosoms, and with good reason." — Times Literary Supplement

Based on close readings of memoirs by such academics as Michael Berube, Cathy Davidson, Jane Gallop, Eve Sedgwick, Jane Tompkins, and Marianne Torgovnick, this title considers why so many professors write memoirs and what cultural capital they carry.Trade ReviewTracing the rise of academic memoir to anxieties about the status of cultural theory, Academic Lives gives the genre the critical recognition and comprehensive survey it deserves. Cynthia G. Franklin is unsparing in her critique of the academic memoir's tendency to substitute individual feeling for institutional analysis, but her ultimate goal is to show the genre's potential for reshaping the humanities and public intellectual discourse. Academic Lives is indispensable reading not only for those interested in memoir but for those interested in the future of the university. - Ann Cvetkovich, author of An Archive of Feelings: Trauma, Sexuality, and Lesbian Public Cultures

LUP - University of Georgia Press On the Rim of the Caribbean Colonial Georgia and the British Atlantic World
Book SynopsisIn On the Rim of the Caribbean, Paul M. Pressly interprets Georgia's place in the Atlantic world in light of recent work in transnational and economic history. The colony's rapid growth holds a larger story: how a frontier where Carolinians played so large a role earned its own distinctive character.Trade ReviewColonial Georgia was West Indian rather than North American. This startling conclusion becomes less surprising after reading Paul Pressly's extensively researched, impeccably written, and intellectually adventurous study of how Georgians turned a struggling colony into a dynamic economic success through copying West Indian plantation culture. By orienting Georgia southward rather than northward, Pressly convincingly shows that slavery, plantations, and the pursuit of economic gain by almost any means made Georgia a very different-because West Indian-part of the British Atlantic world.|This bold and highly original study adds immeasurably to our understanding of the imperial crisis in Georgia. Paul Pressly presents a subtle, complex analysis that lays bare the political ramifications of Georgia's mercantile connections with the Anglophone Caribbean. This is a most impressive first book and one that will influence the field for many years to come.|[An] extensively researched, impeccably written, and intellectually adventurous study of how Georgians turned a struggling colony into a dynamic economic success through copying West Indian plantation culture.

LUP - University of Georgia Press Family of Fallen Leaves
Book SynopsisBetween 1962 and 1971, the U.S. military sprayed approximately twenty million gallons of Agent Orange and other chemical defoliants on Vietnam and Laos. This collection of twelve short stories by Vietnamese writers reveals this tragic legacy and raises troubling moral questions about the physical, spiritual, and environmental consequences of war.Trade ReviewThis unique and remarkable book more than deserves the widest nationwide reading and strong recognition. During the Vietnam War, the U.S. Air Force extensively sprayed the enemy's jungle and rural countryside with a chemical defoliant known as Agent Orange to deprive the Vietcong of forest cover. However, Agent Orange was then well-known to be heavily contaminated with dioxin, the most potent known human carcinogen. The pain of agonizing diseases, cancers, and deaths in small towns and villages is told in their own words, by victims or their family members, in heart moving, yet non-accusatory detachment against the U.S. chemical warfare." — Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., Chairman, Cancer Prevention Coalition and Professor Emeritus University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health.“The editors have included some of the best-known contemporary authors in Vietnam in this intelligently selected and well-translated collection of essays concerning the inevitable suffering caused by Agent Orange. Their combined voices allow us to share some of the pain and human consequences that resulted from a war against the environment itself, and inexorably, agonizingly, remind us of our connection to, and responsibility for, that damage. It is only through the intimacy of imaginative literature that one can begin to experience the depth of that destruction and the wreckage of individual lives.” — Wayne Karlin, author of Wandering Souls: Journeys with the Dead and the Living in Viet Nam.
