HISTORY MISSISSIPPI
A NEW HISTORY OF MISSISSIPPI

Dennis J. Mitchell
Creating the first comprehensive narrative of Mississippi since the bicentennial history was published in 1976, Dennis J. Mitchell recounts the vibrant and turbulent history of a Deep South state. The author has condensed the massive scholarship produced since that time into an appealing narrative, which incorporates people missing from many previous histories including American Indians, women, African Americans, and a diversity of other minority groups. This is the story of a place and its people, history makers and ordinary citizens alike. Mississippis rich flora and fauna are also central to the story, which follows both natural and man-made destruction and the major efforts to restore and defend rare untouched areas. Hernando De Soto, Sieur dIberville, Ferdinand Claiborne, Thomas Hinds, Aaron Burr, Greenwood LeFlore, Joseph Davis, Nathan Bedford Forrest, James D. Lynch, James K.

Winter, Jim Barksdale, Richard Howorth, Christopher Epps, and too many more to listthis book covers a vast and rich legacy. From the rise and fall of American Indian culture to the advent of Mississippis world-renowned literary, artistic, and scientific contributions, Mitchell vividly brings to life the individuals and institutions that have created a fascinating and diverse state.

DELTA DOGS
Maude Schuyler Clay Introduction by Brad Watson Essay by Beth Ann Fennelly
The Mississippi Delta is known for many things. It is a land of stark contrast, in which rich soil produces an agricultural bounty as well as fearsome economic want. The Delta has compelled generations of writers, musicians, and artists to chronicle and engage its harsh and mysterious beauty. Seen through the penetrating lens of noted photographer Maude Schuyler Clay, the nearly deserted buildings and landscapes of the Delta are brought to life by the dogs that roam the wide fields and swamp-soaked shadows. For the past fifteen years, Clay has been driving the back roads photographing her native Delta. In the darkroom of her hundred-year-old family homestead in Sumner, she has developed hundreds of images of eroding architecture, misty bayous, small stands of woods, endless rows of crops. And dogs. Maude has spotted and captured the elemental spirit of dogs eking out existences from this majestic landscape. In her iconic book Delta Land, Clay introduced the Dog in the Fog, the muscular lab standing watch in the mist and trees of Cassidy Bayou. This photo became widely recognized, and Clay wanted to further explore the relationship between the land and the numerous dogs populating its fields, bayous, and abandoned spaces. This new book, Delta Dogs, celebrates the canines who roam this most storied corner of Mississippi. Some of Clays photographs feature lone dogs dwarfed by kudzu-choked trees and hidden among the brambles next to plowed fields. In others, dogs travel in amiable packs, trotting toward a shared but mysterious adventure. Her Delta dogs are by turns soulful, eager, wary, resigned, menacing, and contented. Writers Brad Watson and Beth Ann Fennelly ponder Clays dogs and their connections to the Delta, speculating about their role in the drama of everyday life and about their relationships to the humans who share this landscape with them. In a photographers afterword, Clay writes about discovering the beauty of her native land from within. She finds that the ubiquitous presence of the Delta dog gives scale, life, and sometimes even whimsy and intent to her Mississippi landscape.

THE TRUE GOSPEL PREACHED HERE

Bruce West Foreword by Tom Rankin
Bruce Wests color photographs document the spiritual and creative work of a self-proclaimed preacher, artist, architect, the Reverend H. D. Dennis, and his wife, Margaret, in Vicksburg, Mississippi. This book explores the fantastic world of the elderly couple who devoted more than twenty years of their lives to converting Margarets Grocery store into a one-of-a-kind nondenominational church. Guided by visions from God, their elaborate transformation of Margarets Grocery involved the construction of several towers, the creation of the Ark of the Covenant containing tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments, and new religious iconography. A sign at the entrance announced: Welcome Jews and Gentile This Church Open 24 Hours a Day. Another sign promised: The True Gospel Preached Here. Bands of high-gloss red, white, blue, green, yellow, and pink paint covered the towers and exterior. Religious artifacts, Mardi Gras beads, plastic flowers, hubcaps, and flashing Christmas lights encrusted the interior walls and ceilings and an old school bus. The Reverend used his church as a roadside attraction to lure seekers so that he could deliver fiery sermons and orations about the need to practice living perfectly and the ceaseless pursuit of spiritual wisdom. The product of twenty years of labor and multiple site visits, Wests photographs are both intimate and transparent, tenderly revealing the Reverend and Margarets love of God and for one another,their commitment to their work, and their shared transformation while aging together. The images offer unique insights into the role of spirituality in southern folk art and creativity and the joys and demands of an ascetic and inspired life.

ACTING MY FACE
A MEMOIR
MARILYN MONROE
A LIFE OF THE ACTRESS, REVISED AND UPDATED
Anthony James
THE REVEALING STORY OF A HOLLYWOOD BAD GUY WITH A GOOD GUYS HEART Actor Anthony James has played killers, psychopaths, and other twisted characters throughout his Hollywood career. In the summer of 1967, James made his motion picture debut as the murderer in the Academy Awardwinning Best Picture, In the Heat of the Night. His role in the 1992 Academy Awardwinning Best Picture, Unforgiven, culminated a unique, twenty-eight year career. Behind his menacing and memorable face, however, is a thoughtful, gentle man, one who muses deeply on the nature of art and creativity and on the family ties that have sustained him. Jamess Acting My Face renders Hollywood through the eyes and experience of an established character actor. James appeared on screen with such legendary stars as Clint Eastwood, Bette Davis, Gene Hackman, and Sidney Poitier, and in such classic television shows as Gunsmoke, The Big Valley, Starsky and Hutch, Charlies Angels, and The A-Team. Yet, it is his mothers heroic story that captures his imagination. In an odyssey which in 1940 took her and her newly wedded husband from Greece to a small southern town in America where she bore her only child, Jamess mother suffered the early death of her husband when James was only eight years old. In the blink of an eye, she went from grand hostess of her husbands lavish parties to hotel maid. But like the lioness she was, she fought with great ferocity and outrageous will in her relentless devotion to Jamess future. And so it was, that on an August morning in 1960, eighteen-year-old James and his mother took a train from South Carolina three thousand miles to Hollywood, California, to realize his dream of an acting career. They possessed only two hundred dollars, their courage, and an astonishing degree of naivet. After his retirement in 1994, James and his mother moved to Arlington, Massachusetts, where he concentrated on his painting and poetry. His mother died in 2008 at the age of ninety-four, still a lioness protecting her beloved son. Acting My Face is an unusual memoir, one that explores the true nature of a working life in Hollywood and how aspirations and personal devotion are forged into a career.
ANTHONY JAMES, Arlington, Massachusetts, has appeared in nearly thirty motion pictures and sixty television shows.

THE FIRST BIOGRAPHY TO FOCUS ON THE AMERICAN ICONS ACTING CRAFT In American popular culture, Marilyn Monroe(1926-1962) has evolved in stature from movie superstar to American icon. Monroes own understanding of her place in the American imagination and her effort to perfect her talent as an actress are explored with great sensitivity in Carl Rollysons engaging narrative. He shows how movies became crucial events in the shaping of Monroes identity. He regards her enduring gifts as a creative artist, discussing how her smaller roles in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve established the context for her career, while in-depth chapters on her more important roles in Bus Stop, Some Like It Hot, and The Misfits provide the centerpiece of his examination of her life and career. Through extensive interviews with many of Monroes colleagues, close friends, and other biographers, and a careful rethinking of the literature written about her, Rollyson is able to describe her use of Method acting and her studies with Michael Chekhov and Lee Strasberg, head of the Actors Studio in New York. The author also analyzes several of Monroes own drawings, diary notes, and letters that have recently become available. With over thirty black and white photographs (some published for the first time), a new foreword, and a new afterword, this volume brings Rollysons 1986 book up to date. From this comprehensive, yet critically measured wealth of material, Rollyson offers a distinctive and insightful portrait of Marilyn Monroe, highlighted by new perspectives that depict the central importance of acting to the authentic aspects of her being.

JANE WYMAN AND NANCY DAVIS
Bernard F. Dick
A FASCINATING STORY OF JANE WYMAN, RONALD REAGAN, AND NANCY DAVIS Ronald Reagan, a former actor and one of Americas most popular presidents, married not one but two Hollywood actresses. This book is three biographies in one, discovering fascinating connections among Jane Wyman (19172007), Ronald Reagan (19112004), and Nancy Davis (b. 1921). Jane Wyman, who married Reagan in 1940 and divorced him seven years later, knew an early life of privation. She gravitated to the movies and made her debut at fifteen as an unbilled member of the chorus, then toiled as an extra for four years until she finally received billing. She proved herself as a dramatic actress in The Lost Weekend, and the following year, she was nominated for an Oscar for The Yearling and soon won for her performance in Johnny Belinda, in which she did not speak a single line. Other Oscar nominations followed, along with a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Angela Channing in Falcon Crest. Conversely, Nancy Davis led a relatively charmed life, the daughter of an actress and the stepdaughter of a neurosurgeon. Surrounded by her mothers friendsWalter Huston, Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Lillian Gish, and Alla Nazimova, her godmotherDavis started in the theater, then moved on to Hollywood, where she enjoyed modest success, and finally began working in television. When she married Reagan in 1952, she unwittingly married into politics, eventually leaving acting to concentrate on being the wife of the governor of California, and then the wife of the president of the United States. In her way, Davis played her greatest role as Reagans friend, confidante, and adviser in life and in politics. This book considers three actors who left an indelible mark on both popular and political culture for more than fifty years. communication and English at Fairleigh Dickinson University and is the author of Forever Mame: The Life of Rosalind Russell; Claudette Colbert: She Walked in Beauty; Hollywood Madonna: Loretta Young (all published by University Press of Mississippi); and several other books.

A BIOGRAPHY THAT PARTS THE CURTAIN ON THE TRUE STORY BEHIND HOLLYWOODS ORIGINAL MOVIE MOGUL Sam Goldwyns career spanned almost the entire history of Hollywood. He made his first film, The Squaw Man, in 1913, and he died in 1974 at the age of ninety-one. In the many years between, he produced an enormous number of filmsincluding such classics as Wuthering Heights, Street Scene, Arrowsmith, Dodsworth, The Little Foxes, and The Best Years of Our Livesand worked with many luminariesGary Cooper, Ronald Colman, Laurence Olivier, George Balanchine, Lillian Hellman, Howard Hawks, John Ford, Eddie Cantor, Busby Berkeley, Danny Kaye, Merle Oberon, and Bob Hope among them. When Samuel Goldfisch was born in the Warsaw ghetto, he was penniless; when Sam Goldwyn died in Los Angeles, he was worth an estimated $19 million. The Search for Sam Goldwyn locates the real Sam Goldwyn and shatters the hostile conspiracy of silence that protected his legend. In writing Goldwyns story, Carol Easton has given us a fine examination of the civilization known as Hollywood and how Goldwyn himself shaped that culture.

THE BOB ROSS PHENOMENON AN EXPLORATION OF ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED AND TALENTED ARTISTS AND PAINTING INSTRUCTORS EVER TO TEACH ON AMERICAN TELEVISION
Kristin G. Congdon, Doug Blandy, and Danny Coeyman

Readers will know Bob Ross (19421995) as the gentle, afrod painter of happy trees on PBS. And while the Florida-born artist is reviled or ignored by the elite art world and scholarly art educators, he continues to be embraced around the globe as a healer and painter, even decades after his death. In Happy Clouds, Happy Trees, the authors thoughtfully explore how the Bob Ross phenomenon grew into a juggernaut. Although his sincerity in embracing democracy, gift economies, conservation, and self-help may have left him previously denigrated as a subject of rigorous scholarship, this book uses contemporary art theory to explore the sophistication of Bob Rosss vision as an artist. It traces the ways in which his many fans have worshiped, emulated, and parodied him and his work. His technique allowed him to paint over 35,000 paintings in his lifetime, mostly of mountains and trees in landscapes heavily influenced by his time in the Air Force and stationed in Alaska. The authors address issues of amateur art, sentimentality, imitation, boredom, seduction, and democratic practices in the art world. They fully examine Ross as a painter, teacher, healer, media star, performer, magician, and networker. In-depth comparisons are made to Andy Warhol and Thomas Kinkade, and mention is made of his life in relation to Joseph Beuys, Elvis Presley, St. Francis of Assisi, Carl Rogers, and many other creative personalities. In the end, Happy Clouds, Happy Trees presents Ross as a gift giver, someone who freely teaches the act of painting to anyone who believes in Rosss vision that this is your world.

CARROLL CLOAR
IN HIS STUDIO
Art Museum of the University of Memphis

One of the Souths most beloved painters, Carroll Cloar (1913-1993) worked daily from 1959 until his death in his home on South Greer Street in Memphis, Tennessee. His studio was lined with newspapers and magazine articles that held special significance or inspiration, and he added memorabilia from various periods of his life. The walls were a work in progress and microcosm of Cloars world. The studio, reconstructed in the Art Museum of the University of Memphis in 2013, is the point of departure for considering Cloars drawings, lithographs, and paintings as well as his artistic practice. Cloar was an insightful and witty writer as well as a painter, and selections from his manuscripts furnish the text. Cloar was born and raised in Crittenden County, Arkansas, and educated at Southwestern (Rhodes) College and the Memphis Academy of Art. In 1936 he went to New York to study at the Art Students League expecting never to return to the South, but after twenty years of living on and off in New York, interrupted by years of international travel, World War II service, and more travel, he returned. As a tireless visual and verbal observer of the uniqueness and universality of places and patterns of behavior, he gradually realized that the South of his childhood, engrained in his soul, was equal in its authentic character to any of his exotic destinations. Carroll Cloar: In His Studio includes eighty black and white and forty color photographs and provides the most extensive published treatment of Cloar and his work since 1977. nineteenth- and twentieth-century works on paper, ancient Egyptian art and artifacts, and African traditional art and cultural objects. In addition to permanent installations of Egyptian and African galleries, the museum presents exhibits of twentieth-century and contemporary art and design in four galleries and conducts research on topics related to its collections and areas of interest.

MISSISSIPPI ENTREPRENEURS
Polly Dement
The seventy stories in Mississippi Entrepreneurs collectively draw attention to the tenacious and courageous journeys of Mississippi men and women who risk fortune and futures to create successful enterprises. Most tell how they did it uniquely and in their own words, bringing to life their entrepreneurial spirits. Family members and former colleagues pick up the storyline for legendary entrepreneurs who have passed on, recalling vividly the characteristics that set them apart from the competition. Usually a passion for creation inspired these go-getterswhether casting red-hot liquid steel into industrial products (Fred Wile, Meridian); constructing buildings (Roy Anderson III, Gulfport; Bill Yates Jr., Philadelphia; and William Yates III, Biloxi); making agricultural products grow ( Janice and Allen Eubanks, Lucedale; and Mike Sanders, Cleveland); delivering and installing furniture ( Johnnie Terry, Jackson); using technology to improve systems ( John Palmer and Joel Bomgar, and Toni and Bill Cooley, Jackson; and Billy and Linda Howard, Laurel); expanding food operations (Dr. S. L. Sethi, Jackson; and Don Newcomb, Oxford); or sharing the sheer love of music (Hartley Peavey, Meridian), food (Robert St. John, Hattiesburg), art (Erin Hayne and Nuno Gonalves Ferreira, Jackson), or books ( John Evans, Jackson; and Richard Howorth, Oxford). Social and cultural entrepreneurs made their marks as well, including those focused on social justice (Martha Bergmark, Jackson); access to health care (Aaron Shirley, Jackson); and public education ( Jack Reed, Tupelo). Few if any books have focused exclusively on this aspect of the states history. Altogether the stories, accompanied by seventy black and white photographs, illustrate common traits, including plentiful vision, fierce drive, willingness to take risks and change for a better way, the ability to innovate, solve problems, and turn luck (both good and bad) to advantage. Most of these entrepreneurs generously share the rewards of their hard work and ingenuity with their communities.
David L. Jordan with Robert L. Jenkins Foreword by Mike Espy

THE INSPIRING AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A COTTON FIELD WORKER WHO BECAME A MAJOR FORCE FOR CHANGE IN MISSISSIPPI In David L. Jordans earliest memories, he is lying in the fields, the black earth beneath him and the sky and sun above, filtered through the leaves of the cotton plants. The youngest of five children in a family of sharecroppers, he was nursed and grew up in those fields, joining his family in their work as soon as he was old enough to carry a sack. David L. Jordan: From the Mississippi Cotton Fields to the State Senate is the memoir of black Mississippi state senator and city councilman Jordan. His life in twentieth-century Mississippi spanned some of the most difficult times for black Mississippians as they coped with the effects of crippling economic circumstances caused by tenant farming and second-class citizenship enforced through the most violent and repressive means. Jordan shares his experiences from early childhood growing up in Leflore County, the heart of the Mississippi Delta, through his life and work in government. He rose from humble beginnings to become professional educator and eventually one of the Deep Souths most recognizable social and political activists. In this revealing autobiography, Jordan describes his witness to the often brutal and humiliating mistreatment of blacks by white racists. He is one of the few persons still alive who attended the sensational trial of the two white men accused of the horrific lynching of Emmett Till in 1955. Jordan recounts the atmosphere and drama surrounding the case with telling effects, shining light on this brand of Mississippi injustice that will help readers understand why many people consider the case the real genesis of the modern civil rights movement.

Michael S. Martin
THE STORY OF HUEY LONGS SON, THE POWERFUL UNITED STATES SENATOR Russell Long (1918-2003) occupies a unique niche in twentieth-century United States history. Born into Louisianas most influential political family, and son of perhaps the most famous Louisianan of all time, Long extended the political power generated by other members of his family and attained heights of power unknown to his predecessors, including his father Huey. The Long family and its followers pervaded Louisiana politics from the late 1920s through the 1980s. Being a Longespecially a son of Huey Longpreordained Russell for a political life. His fathers assassination set the wheels in motion for his eventual political career. In 1948, Russell followed his father and his mother to a seat in the United States Senate. In due course, he rose to the politically eminent positions of majority whip and chair of the Senate Finance Committee. Russell Long: A Life in Politics examines Longs public life and places it within the context of twentieth-century Louisiana, southern, and national politics. In Louisiana, Longs politics arose out of the Longite/Anti-Longite period of history. Yet he transcended many of those two groups factional squabbles. In the national realm, Longs politics exhibited a working philosophy that straddled the boundaries between New Deal liberalism and southern conservatism. By the time of his retirement in early 1987, he had witnessed the demise of one political paradigmthe New Deal liberal consensusand the creation of one dominated by a new style of conservatism.

A BIOGRAPHY OF THE LAST MAYOR OF NEW ORLEANS TO GET THINGS DONE During the turbulent 1960s, the city of New Orleans experienced unprecedented economic growth, racial tensions and desegregation, political realignment, and natural disaster. Presiding over this period of sweeping change was Mayor Victor H. Schiro (1904-1992), an unassuming, moderate Democrat who sought the best for his city and adhered strictly to the rule of law in a region where laissez faire was standard practice and hardened defiance was a social norm. Schiro sought fairness for all and navigated a gauntlet of conflicting pressures. African Americans sought their civil rights, and whites resisted the new racial environment. Despite vigorous opposition and an unfriendly press, Schiro won election twice. Under his direction, the city experienced numerous municipal reforms, the inclusion of African Americans in executive positions, and the broad extension of city services. The mayor, a businessman, recruited new corporations for his city, heralded the development of New Orleans East, and brought major professional sports to the Crescent City. He also initiated the plans for the construction of the Superdome. At the height of this activity, Hurricane Betsy devastated New Orleans. In response, Schiro coordinated with the federal government to initiate rescue and recovery at a rapid pace. In the aftermath, he lobbied Congress for relief funds that set the precedent for National Federal flood insurance.

THE HOUSE THAT SUGARCANE BUILT

THE LOUISIANA BURGUIRES
Donna McGee Onebane

THE MULTIGENERATIONAL HISTORY OF ONE OF LOUISIANAS OLDEST DYNASTIES AND ITS EMPIRE OF SUGAR AND LAND The House That Sugarcane Built tells the saga of Jules M. Burguires Sr. and five generations of Louisianans who, after the Civil War, established a sugar empire that has survived into the present. When twenty-seven-year-old Parisian immigrant Eugne D. Burguires landed at the Port of New Orleans in 1831, one of the oldest Louisiana dynasties began. Seen through the lens of one family, this book traces the Burguires from seventeenth-century France, to nineteenth-century New Orleans and rural south Louisiana and into the twenty-first century. It is also a rich portrait of an American region that has retained its vibrant French culture. As the sweeping narrative of the clan unfolds, so does the story of their family-owned sugar business, the J. M. Burguires Company, as it plays a pivotal role in the expansion of the sugar industry in Louisiana, Florida, and Cuba. The French Burguires were visionaries who knew the value of land and its bountiful resources. The fertile soil along the bayous and wetlands of south Louisiana bestowed on them an abundance of sugarcane above its surface, and salt, oil, and gas beneath. Ever in pursuit of land, the Burguires expanded their holdings to include the vast swamps of the Florida Everglades; then, in 2004, they turned their sights to cattle ranches on the great frontier of west Texas. Finally, integral to the story are the complex dynamics and tensions inherent in this family-owned company, revealing both failures and victories in its history of more than 135 years. The J. M. Burguires Companys survival has depended upon each generation safeguarding and nourishing a legacy for the next.

A RICHLY ILLUSTRATED AND INCOMPARABLE COLLECTION DOCUMENTING THE BRANDS AND MARKS OF THE PIONEERS OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA Researching the original brand registration of his great-grandfather Pierre Cenac for his book Eyes of an Eagle, Dr. Christopher Everette Cenac Sr. discovered a serendipitous trove of local history in the form of long-forgotten volumes in the Terrebonne Parish Courthouse in Houma, Louisiana. The three ledger books that emerged through the efforts of the local Clerk of Court became, in themselves, a series of capsulized glimpses into the citizenry of the areas early agrarian foundations. In extraordinary condition, these ledgers held an unprecedented set of the original livestock brands and marks of bustling bayou cattle country. Each registration entry furnished a record of the progression of settlement of the parish. The registration of a brand often served as the familys calling card upon making Terrebonne Parish their home. Livestock Brands and Marks: An Unexpected Bayou Country History is designed not only to share the actual registration treasures of all 1140 brands in the brand books themselves, but also to chronicle a short history of laws governing animal identification, to document advances in forms of ownership identification, and to familiarize the reader with both ancient and more recent livestock breeds that received brands and other marks recorded in those three ledger books.

THE PERSONAL ACCOUNT OF A COMMUNITY AND A LAWYER UNITED TO BATTLE ONE OF THE MOST RECALCITRANT BASTIONS OF RESISTANCE TO CIVIL RIGHTS In 1961, Forrest County, Mississippi, became a focal point of the civil rights movement when the United States Justice Department filed a lawsuit against its voting registrar Theron Lynd. While 30 percent of the countys residents were black, only twelve black persons were on its voting rolls. United States v. Lynd was the first trial that resulted in the conviction of a southern registrar for contempt of court. The case served as a model for other challenges to voter discrimination in the South and was an important influence in shaping the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Count Them One by One is a comprehensive account of the groundbreaking case written by one of the Justice Departments trial attorneys. Gordon A. Martin, Jr., then a newly minted lawyer, traveled to Hattiesburg from Washington to help shape the federal case against Lynd. He met with and prepared the governments sixteen courageous black witnesses who had been refused registration, found white witnesses, and served as one of the lawyers during the trial. Decades later, Martin returned to Mississippi to find these brave men and women he had never forgotten. He interviewed the still-living witnesseses, their children, and friends. Martin intertwines these current reflections with vivid commentary about the case itself. The result is an impassioned, cogent fusion of reportage, oral history, and memoir about a trial that fundamentally reshaped liberty and the South. judge and an adjunct professor at New England School of Law.

AN UP-CLOSE STUDY OF A PINNACLE MOMENT IN THE STRUGGLE AND OF THOSE WHO FOUGHT FOR CHANGE Once in a great while, a certain photograph captures the essence of an era: Three peopleone black and two whitedemonstrate for equality at a lunch counter while a horde of cigarette-smoking hotshots pour catsup, sugar, and other condiments on the protesters heads and down their backs. This iconic image strikes a chord for all who lived through those turbulent times of a changing America. The photograph, which plays a central role in the books perspectives from frontline participants, caught a moment when the raw virulence of racism crashed against the defiance of visionaries. It now shows up regularly in books, magazines, videos, and museums that endeavor to explain Americas largely nonviolent civil rights battles of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Yet for all of the photographs prominence, the people in it and the events they inspired have only been sketched in civil rights histories. It is not well known, for instance, that it was this event that sparked to life the civil rights movement in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1963. Sadly, this same sit-in and the protest events it inspired led to the assassination of Medgar Evers, who was leading the charge in Jackson for the NAACP. We Shall Not Be Moved puts the Jackson Woolworths sit-in into historical context. Part multifaceted biography, part well-researched history, this gripping narrative explores the hearts and minds of those participating in this harrowing sit-in experience. It was a demonstration without precedent in Mississippione that set the stage for much that would follow in the changing dynamics of the states racial politics, particularly in its capital city.

SCHOLARLY DEBATE ABOUT ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS EVER WRITTEN ON THE AMERICAN SOUTH
A BIOGRAPHY OF THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER ONCE CONSIDERED THE MOST IMPORTANT MAN IN STATE POLITICS When the Mississippi school boy is asked who is called the Great Commoner of public life in his State, wrote Mississippis premier historian Dunbar Rowland in 1901, he will unhesitatingly answer James Z. George. While Georges prominence has decreased through the decades since then, many modern historians still view him as a supremely important Mississippian, with one writing that George (18261897) was Mississippis most important Democratic leader in the late nineteenth century. Certainly, the Mexican War veteran, prominent lawyer and planter, Civil War officer, Reconstruction leader, state Supreme Court chief justice, and Mississippis longest serving United States senator in his day deserves a full biography. And, Georges importance was greater than just on the state level as other Southerners copied his tactics to secure white supremacy in their own states. James Z. George: Mississippis Great Commoner seeks to rectify the lack of attention to Georges life. In doing so, this volume utilizes numerous sources never before or only slightly used, primarily a large collection of Georges letters held by his descendents and never used by historians. Such wonderful sources allow a glimpse not only into his times, but perhaps more importantly an exploration of the man himself, his traits, personality, and ideas. The result is a picture of an extremely commonplace individual on the surface but an exceptionally complicated man underneath. James Z. George: Mississippis Great Commoner will bring this important Mississippi leader of the nineteenth century back into the minds of twenty-first-century Mississippians.

This probing collection of essays assesses the wide influence of W. J. Cash and the profound effect of his classic dissection of southern history. Perhaps more than any other historian, W. J. Cash revolutionized the interpretation of southern identity. In 1941, when he published The Mind of the South, he exploded the correlated myths of the Cavalier South and the New South and gave historiography a new gauge for examining Dixie. In the half century since its publication, Cashs book has lain in the path of every historian of the South. Not all, however, have expressed unified opinions about him and his influence, though few can deny how in the past fifty years his indelible and authoritative work has shaped the writing of southern history. In The Mind of the South: Fifty Years Later eleven scholars examine this classic study and assess its enduring importance. Bruce Clayton begins by discussing the biography of Cash and tracing his sources. In the subsequent five essays Cash is praised, evaluated, criticized, defended, classified, and acknowledged to be the lion in the crossroads of southern historiography.

THE FIRST BIOGRAPHY OF TWO INTEGRAL BLUEGRASS INNOVATORS AND TOUCHSTONES OF OLD-TIME COUNTRY MUSICS AUTHENTICITY Carter and Ralph Stanleythe Stanley Brothersare comparable to Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs as important members of the earliest generation of bluegrass musicians. In this first biography of the brothers, author David W. Johnson documents that Carter (19251966) and Ralph (b 1927) were equally important contributors to the tradition of old-time country music. Together from 1946 to 1966, the Stanley Brothers began their careers performing in the schoolhouses of southwestern Virginia and expanded their popularity to the concert halls of Europe. In order to re-create this postWorld War II journey through the changing landscape of American music, the author interviewed Ralph Stanley, the family of Carter Stanley, former members of the Clinch Mountain Boys, and dozens of musicians and friends who knew the Stanley Brothers as musicians and men. The late Mike Seeger allowed Johnson to use his invaluable 1966 interviews with the brothers. Notable old-time country and bluegrass musicians such as George Shuffler, Lester Woodie, Larry Sparks, and the late Wade Mainer shared their recollections of Carter and Ralph. Lonesome Melodies begins and ends in the mountains of southwestern Virginia. Carter and Ralph were born there and had an early publicity photograph taken at the Cumberland Gap. In December 1966, pallbearers walked up Smith Ridge to bring Carter to his final resting place. In the intervening years, the brothers performed thousands of in-person and radio shows, recorded hundreds of songs and tunes for half a dozen record labels, and tried to keep pace with changing times while remaining true to the spirit of old-time country music. As a result of their accomplishments, they have become a standard of musical authenticity.

A FULL STUDY OF BUDDY BOLDEN AND BUNK JOHNSON CONFIRMING THEIR ROLES IN THE REAL BLUES ROOTS OF NEW ORLEANS JAZZ The book Jazzmen (1939) claimed New Orleans as the birthplace of jazz and introduced the legend of Buddy Bolden as the First Man of Jazz. Much of the information that the book relied on came from a highly controversial source: Bunk Johnson. He claimed to have played with Bolden and that together they had pioneered jazz. Johnson made many recordings talking about and playing the music of the Bolden era. These recordings have been treated with skepticism because of doubts about Johnsons credibility. Using oral histories, the Jazzmen interview notes, and unpublished archive material, this book confirms that Bunk Johnson did play with Bolden. This confirmation, in turn, has profound implications for Johnsons recorded legacy in describing the music of the early years of New Orleans jazz. New Orleans jazz was different from ragtime in a number of ways. It was a music that was collectively improvised, and it carried a new tonalitythe tonality of the blues. How early jazz musicians improvised together and how the blues became a part of jazz has until now been a mystery. Part of the reason New Orleans jazz developed as it did is that all the prominent jazz pioneers, including Buddy Bolden, Bunk Johnson, Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, Johnny Dodds, and Kid Ory, sang in barbershop (or barroom) quartets. This book describes in both historical and musical terms how the practices of quartet singing were converted to the instruments of a jazz band, and how this, in turn, produced collectively improvised, blues-inflected jazz, that unique sound of New Orleans.

HOW PHOTOGRAPHER HERMAN LEONARD AND OTHERS CREATED THE ICON OF THE DUSKY, SOPHISTICATED, EDGY JAZZ MUSICIAN Typically a photograph of a jazz musician has several formal prerequisites: black and white film, an urban setting in the mid-twentieth century, and a black man standing, playing, or sitting next to his instrument. Thats the jazz archetype that photography created. Author K. Heather Pinson discovers how such a steadfast script developed visually and what this convention meant for the music. Album covers, magazines, books, documentaries, art photographs, posters, and various other visual extensions of popular culture formed the commonly held image of the jazz player. Through assimilation, there emerged a generalized composite of how mainstream jazz looked and sounded. Pinson evaluates representations of jazz musicians from 1945 to 1959, concentrating on the seminal role played by Herman Leonard. Leonards photographic depictions of African American jazz musicians in New York not only created a visual template of a black musician of the 1950s, but also became the standard configuration of the musics neoclassical sound today. To discover how the image of the musician affected mainstream jazz, Pinson examines readings from critics, musicians, and educators, as well as interviews, musical scores, recordings, transcriptions, liner notes, and oral narratives.

COLLECTED CORRESPONDENCE FROM ARGUABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT FOLKLORIST OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Alan Lomax (19152002) began working for the Archive of American Folk Song at the Library of Congress in 1936, first as a special and temporary assistant, then as the permanent Assistant in Charge, starting in June 1937, until he left in late 1942. He recorded such important musicians as Woody Guthrie, Muddy Waters, Aunt Molly Jackson, and Jelly Roll Morton. A reading and examination of his letters from 1935 to 1945 reveal someone who led an extremely complex, fascinating, and creative life, mostly as a public employee. While Lomax is noted for his field recordings, these collected letters, many signed Alan Lomax, Assistant in Charge, are a trove of information until now available only at the Library of Congress. They make it clear that Lomax was very interested in the commercial hillbilly, race, and even popular recordings of the 1920s and after. These letters serve as a way of understanding Lomaxs public and private life during some of his most productive and significant years. Lomax was one of the most stimulating and influential cultural workers of the twentieth century. Here he speaks for himself through his voluminous correspondence.

HISTORICAL MATERIALIST PERSPECTIVES ON CHILDRENS LITERATURE
Katherine Roeder
THE FIRST STUDY TO PLACE THIS GENIUS OF MODERN COMICS CREATION IN HIS HISTORICAL CONTEXT Cartoonist Winsor McCay (18691934) is rightfully celebrated for the skillful draftmanship and inventive design sense he displayed in the comic strips Little Nemo in Slumberland and Dream of the Rarebit Fiend. McCay crafted narratives of anticipation, abundance, and unfulfilled longing. This book explores McCays interest in dream imagery in relation to the larger preoccupation with fantasy that dominated the popular culture of early twentieth-century urban America. McCays role as a pioneer of early comics has been documented; yet, no existing study approaches him and his work from an art historical perspective, giving close readings of individual artworks while situating his output within the larger visual culture and the rise of modernism. From circus posters and vaudeville skits to department store window displays and amusement park rides, McCay found fantastical inspiration in New York Citys burgeoning entertainment and retail districts. Wide Awake in Slumberland connects McCays work to relevant childrens literature, advertising, architecture, and motion pictures in order to demonstrate the artists sophisticated blending and remixing of multiple forms from mass culture. Studying this interconnection in McCays work and, by extension, the work of other early twentieth-century cartoonists, Roeder traces the web of relationships connecting fantasy, leisure, and consumption. Readings of McCays drawings and the eighty-one black and white and color illustrations reveal a man who was both a ready participant and an incisive critic of the rising culture of fantasy and consumerism.

A significant body of scholarship examines the production of childrens literature by women and minorities, as well as the representation of gender, race, and sexuality. But few scholars have previously analyzed class in childrens literature. This definitive collection remedies that by defining and exemplifying historical materialist approaches to childrens literature. The introduction of Little Red Readings lucidly discusses characteristics of historical materialism, the methodological approach to the study of literature and culture first outlined by Karl Marx, defining key concepts and analyzing factors that have marginalized this tradition, particularly in the United States. The thirteen essays here analyze a wide range of textsfrom childrens bibles to Mary Poppins to The Hunger Gamesusing concepts in historical materialism from class struggle to the commodity. Essayists apply the work of Marxist theorists such as Ernst Bloch and Fredric Jameson to childrens literature and film. Others examine the work of leftist writers in India, Germany, England, and the United States. The authors argue that historical materialist methodology is critical to the study of childrens literature, as children often suffer most from inequality. Some of the critics in this collection reveal the ways that literature for children often functions to naturalize capitalist economic and social relations. Other critics champion literature that reveals to readers the construction of social reality and point to texts that enable an understanding of the role ordinary people might play in creating a more just future.

THE FIRST STUDY TO TRACE THE EVOLUTION OF RUSSIAN COMICS FROM SOVIET BTE
NOIRE TO POST-PERESTROIKA ART FORM

A COMPELLING CASE FOR THE NEED TO ANALYZE CHILDRENS LITERATURE FROM A MARXIST PERSPECTIVE Jos Alaniz explores the problematic publication history of komiksan art form much-maligned as bourgeois mass diversion before, during, and after the collapse of the USSR with an emphasis on the last twenty years. The book provides heretofore unavailable access to a rich artistry through unique archival research, interviews with major artists and publishers, and readings of several artists and worksmany unknown in the West. The study examines the dizzying experimental comics work of the late Czarist and early revolutionary era, caricature from the satirical journal Krokodil, and the postwar series Petia Ryzhik (the Russian Tintin). Detailed case studies include the Perestroika-era KOM studio, the first devoted to comics in the Soviet Union; post-Soviet komiks in contemporary art; autobiography and the work of Nikolai Maslov; and womens komiks by such artists as Lena Uzhinova, Namida and Re-I. Author Jos Alaniz examines issues such as anti-Americanism, censorship, the rise of consumerism, globalization (e.g., in Russian manga), the impact of the internet, and the hard-won establishment of a comics subculture in Russia. Komiks have often borne the brunt of ideological changethriving in summers of relative freedom, freezing in hard winters of official disdain. This volume covers the art forms origins in religious icon-making and book illustration, and later the immensely popular lubok or woodblock print. Alaniz reveals komiks vilification and marginalization under the Communists, the art forms economic struggles, and its eventual internet migration in the post-Soviet era. This book shows, as many Russians expressed about their own experiences in the same era, that komiks never had a normal life.

INTERVIEWS
Edited by Eric Ames

THE QUESTION IS ALWAYS, HOW MUCH STYLIZATION DOES THE TRUTH NEED? Over the course of his career, legendary director Werner Herzog (b. 1942) has made almost sixty films and given more than eight hundred interviews. This collection features the best of these, focusing on all the major films, from Signs of Life and Aguirre, the Wrath of God to Grizzly Man and Cave of Forgotten Dreams. When did Herzog decide to become a filmmaker? Who are his key influences? Where does he find his peculiar themes and characters? What role does music play in his films? How does he see himself in relation to the German past and in relation to film history? And how did he ever survive the wrath of Klaus Kinski? Herzog answers these and many other questions in twenty-five interviews ranging from the 1960s to the present. Critics and fans recognized Herzogs importance as a young German filmmaker early on, but his films have attained international significance over the decades. Most of the interviews collected in this volumesome of them from Herzogs production archive and previously unpublishedappear in English for the very first time. Together, they offer an unprecedented look at Herzogs work, his career, and his public persona as it has developed and changed over time.

WHY DO WE DISMISS MELODRAMAS AND DOMESTIC DRAMA AS SOMETHING SECOND-CLASS IN PREFERENCE FOR GENRES THAT ARE, FIRST, MORE ESCAPIST AND MORE ASSOCIATED WITH MALE PROTAGONISTS? A pioneer of the New Queer Cinema, Todd Haynes (b. 1961) is a leading American independent filmmaker. Whether working with talking dolls in a homemade short (Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story) or with Oscar-winning performers in an HBO miniseries (Mildred Pierce), Haynes has garnered numerous awards and nominations and an expanding fan base for his provocative and engaging work. In all his films, Haynes works to portray the struggles of characters in conflict with the norms of society. Many of his movies focus on female characters, drawing inspiration from genres such as the womans film and the disease movie (Far from Heaven and Safe); others explore male characters who transgress sexual and other social conventions (Poison and Velvet Goldmine). The writer-director has drawn on figures such as Karen Carpenter, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and Bob Dylan in his meditations on American and British music, celebrity, and the meaning of identity. His 2007 movie Im Not There won a number of awards and was notable for Hayness decision to cast six different actors (one of whom was a woman) to portray Dylan. Gathering interviews from 1989 through 2012, this collection presents a range of themes, films, and moments in the burgeoning career of Todd Haynes.

DAVID FINCHER
INTERVIEWS
Edited by Laurence F. Knapp

FILMS ARE NOT FINISHED. THEYRE ABANDONED. David Fincher (b. 1962) did not go to film school and hates being defined as an auteur. He prefers to see himself as a craftsman, dutifully going about the art and business of making film. Trouble is, its hard to be self-effacing when you are the director responsible for Se7en, Fight Club, and The Social Network. Along with Quentin Tarantino, Fincher is the most accomplished of the Generation X filmmakers to emerge in the early 1990s. This collection of interviews highlights Finchers unwavering commitment to his craft as he evolved from an entrepreneurial music video director (Fincher helped Madonna become the undisputed queen of MTV) into an enterprising feature filmmaker. Fincher landed his first Hollywood blockbuster at twenty-seven with Alien3, but that film, handicapped by cost overruns and corporate mismanagement, taught Fincher that he needed absolute control over his work. Once he had it, with Se7en, he achieved instant box-office success and critical acclaim, as well as a close partnership with Brad Pitt that led to the cult favorite Fight Club. Fincher became circumspect in the 2000s after Panic Room, shooting ads and biding his time until Zodiac, when he returned to his mantra that entertainment has to come hand in hand with a little bit of medicine. Some people go to the movies to be reminded that everythings okay. I dont make those kinds of movies. That, to me, is a lie. Everythings not okay. Zodiac reinvigorated Fincher, inspiring a string of filmsThe Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Social Network, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoothat enthralled audiences and garnered his films dozens of Oscar nominations.

RAVISHED ARMENIA AND THE STORY OF AURORA MARDIGANIAN

Edited by Anthony Slide Foreword by Atom Egoyan
A REMINDER OF THE PIVOTAL ROLE ONE WOMAN PLAYED IN OUR EARLY APPREHENSION OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE Ravished Armenia and the Story of Aurora Mardiganian is the real-life tale of a teenage Armenian girl who was caught up in the 1915 Armenian genocide, the first genocide in modern history. Mardiganian (19011994) witnessed the murder of her family and the suffering of her people at the hands of the Ottoman Empire. Forced to march over fourteen hundred miles, she was sold into slavery. When she escaped to the United States, Mardiganian was then exploited by the very individuals whom she believed might help. Her story was published in book form and then used as the basis for a 1918 feature film, in which she herself starred. The film Ravished Armenia, also known as Auction of Souls, is a graphic retelling of Aurora Mardiganians story, with the teenager in the central role, supported by Anna Q. Nilsson and Irving Cummings and directed by Oscar Apfel. Only twenty minutes of the filmthe first to deal with the Armenian genocideis known to survive, but it proves to be a stunning production, presenting its story in newsreel style. This revised edition of Anthony Slides Ravished Armenia and the Story of Aurora Mardiganian also contains an annotated reprint of Mardiganians original narrative and, for the first time, the full screenplay. In his introduction, Slide recounts the making of the film and Mardiganians life in the United States, involving a cast of characters including Henry Morgenthau, Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Oliver Harriman, and film pioneer William Selig. The introduction also includes original comments by Aurora Mardiganian, whom Slide interviewed before her death. Acclaimed Armenian Canadian filmmaker Atom Egoyan, who created a video art installation about Mardiganian in 2007, provides a foreword.

FRED ZINNEMANN AND THE CINEMA OF RESISTANCE

J. E. Smyth
Fred Zinnemann directed some of the most acclaimed and controversial films of the twentieth century, yet he has been a shadowy presence in Hollywood history. InFred Zinnemann and the Cinema of Resistance, J. E. Smyth reveals the intellectual passion behind some of the most powerful films ever made about the rise and resistance to fascism and the legacy of the Second World War, from The Seventh Cross and The Search to High Noon, From Here to Eternity, and Julia. Smyths book is the first to draw upon Zinnemanns extensive papers at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and brings Fred Zinnemanns vision, voice, and film practice to life. In his engagement with the defining historical struggles of the twentieth century, Zinnemann fought his own battles with the Hollywood studio system, the critics, and a public bent on forgetting. Zinnemanns films explore the role of women and communists in the antifascist resistance, the Wests support of Franco after the Spanish Civil War, and the darker side of Americas national heritage. Smyth reconstructs a complex and conflicted portrait of Zinnemanns cinema of resistance, examining his sketches, script annotations, editing and production notes, and personal letters. Illustrated with seventy black-and-white images from Smyths collection, Fred Zinnemann and the Cinema of Resistance discusses the directors professional and personal relationships with Spencer Tracy, Montgomery Clift, Audrey Hepburn, Vanessa Redgrave, and Gary Cooper; the critical reaction to his revisionist Western, High Noon; his battles over the censorship of From Here to Eternity, The Nuns Story, and Behold a Pale Horse; his unrealized history of the communist Revolution in China, Mans Fate; and the controversial study of political assassination, The Day of the Jackal. In this intense, richly textured narrative, Smyth enters the mind of one of Hollywoods master directors, redefining our knowledge of his artistic vision and practice.
David Roche
AN EXPANSIVE TREATMENT OF THE MEANINGS AND QUALITIES OF ORIGINAL AND REMADE AMERICAN HORROR MOVIES
In Making and Remaking Horror in the 1970s and 2000s author David Roche takes up the assumption shared by many fans and scholars that original horror movies are more disturbing, and thus better than the remakes. He assesses the qualities of movies, old and recast, according to criteria that include subtext, originality, and cohesion. With a methodology that combines a formalist and cultural studies approach, Roche sifts aspects of the American horror movie that have been widely addressed (class, the patriarchal family, gender, and the opposition between terror and horror) and those that have been somewhat neglected (race, the Gothic, style, and verisimilitude). Containing seventy-eight black and white illustrations, the book is grounded in a close comparative analysis of the politics and aesthetics of four of the most significant independent American horror movies of the 1970sThe Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes, Dawn of the Dead, and Halloweenand their twenty-first-century remakes. To what extent can the politics of these films be described as disturbing insomuch as they promote subversive subtexts that undermine essentialist perspectives? Do the politics of the film lie on the surface or are they wedded to the films aesthetics? Early in the book, Roche explores historical contexts, aspects of identity (race, ethnicity, and class), and the structuring role played by the motif of the American nuclear family. He then asks to what extent these films disrupt genre expectations and attempt to provoke emotions of dread, terror, and horror through their representations of the monstrous and the formal strategies employed? In this inquiry, he examines definitions of the genre and its metafictional nature. Roche ends with a meditation on the extent to which the technical limitations of the horror films of the 1970s actually contribute to this disturbing quality. Moving far beyond the genre itself, Making and Remaking Horror studies the redux as a form of adaptation and enables a more complete discussion of the evolution of horror in contemporary American cinema.

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS AND THE AMERICAN CENTURY

John C. Tibbetts and James M. Welsh Foreword by Kevin Brownlow Greeting by Vera Fairbanks
A CRITICAL STUDY OF FAIRBANKSS A COMPELLING HISTORY OF THE DIRECTORS FILMS OF WAR AND RESISTANCE ACTING CAREER AND HIS BRAND AS THE ULTIMATE AMERICAN Douglas Fairbanks and the American Century brings to life the most popular movie star of his day, the personification of the Golden Age of Hollywood. At his peak, in the teens and twenties, the swashbuckling adventurer embodied the new American Century of speed, opportunity, and aggressive optimism. The essays and interviews in this volume bring fresh perspectives to his life and work, including analyses of films never before examined. Also published here for the first time in English is a first-hand production account of the making of Fairbankss last silent film, The Iron Mask. Fairbanks (18831939) was the most vivid and strenuous exponent of the American Century, whose dominant mode after 1900 was the mass marketing of a burgeoning democratic optimism, at home and abroad. During those first decades of the twentieth century, his satiric comedy-adventures shadow-boxed with the illusions of class and custom. His characters managed to combine the American Easterners experience and pretension and the Westerners promise and expansion. As the masculine personification of the Old World aristocrat and the New World self-made mantied to tradition yet emancipated from historyhe constructed a uniquely American aristocrat striding into a new age and sensibility. This is the most complete account yet written of the film career of Douglas Fairbanks, one of the first great stars of the silent American cinema and one of the original United Artists (comprising Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Charles Chaplin, and D. W. Griffith). John C. Tibbetts and James M. Welshs text is especially rich in its coverage of the early years of the stars career from 1915 to 1920 and covers in detail several films previously considered lost.

CONVERSATIONS WITH JAY PARINI

Edited by Michael Lackey
I DONT KNOW WHAT ANY HISTORIAN IMAGINES HE OR SHE IS DOING EXCEPT CREATING A WORK OF FICTION. Jay Parini (b. 1948), is best known for The Last Station, a novel about Leo Tolstoys last year has been translated into more than twenty-five languages and made into a Hollywood film. But he has also published numerous volumes of poetry; biographies of William Faulkner, Robert Frost, and John Steinbeck; novels; and literary and cultural criticism. This book contains the most important interviews with the former Guggenheim fellow; a former Fowler Hamilton Fellow at Christ Church, Oxford; and a former fellow of the Institute for Advanced Studies at the University of London. Parinis work is valuable not just because of its high quality and intellectual range. Parinis life and writings often seem like a seminar table, with friends gathered, talking and trading stories. He has openly written poems in conversation with writers he knew personally: Robert Penn Warren, Gore Vidal, Jorge Luis Borges, and others. He has, in his own life, kept an ongoing conversation with many literary friends over the yearsAlastair Reid, Seamus Heaney, Anne Stevenson, Ann Beattie, Julia Alvarez, Peter Ackroyd, A. N. Wilson, and countless others. These interviews offer a more comprehensive understanding of Parinis work as a poet, scholar, public intellectual, literary critic, intellectual historian, biographer, novelist, and biographical novelist. More importantly, these interviews will contribute to our understanding of the history of ideas, the condition of knowledge, and the state of literature, all of which Parini has played an important role in shaping.

Ken Kesey (19352001) is the author of several works of well-known fiction and other hard-to-classify material. His debut novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, was a critical and commercial sensation that was followed soon after by his most substantial and ambitious book, Sometimes a Great Notion. His other books, including Demon Box, Sailor Song, and two childrens books, appeared amidst a life of astounding influence. He is maybe best known for his role as the charismatic and proto-hippie leader of the West Coast LSD movement that sparked The Sixties, as iconically recounted in Tom Wolfes The Electric KoolAid Acid Test. In the introduction to An Impolite Interview with Ken Kesey, Paul Krassner writes, For a man who says he doesnt like to do interviews, Kesey certainly does a lot of them. Whats most surprising about this statement is not the incongruity between disliking and doing interviews but the idea that Kesey could possibly have been less than enthusiastic about being the center of attention. Though after his two great triumphs writing played a lesser role in Keseys life, his interviews reveal a thoughtful and generous artist and citizen, who sometimes regrets the books that were sacrificed for the sake of his other pursuits. Interviews trace his arc through success, fame, prison, farming, and tragedythe death of his son in a car accident profoundly altered his life. These conversations make clear Keseys central place in American culture and offer his enduring lesson that the freedom exists to create lives as wildly as can be imagined.

CONVERSATIONS WITH WILLIAM GIBSON

Edited by Patrick A. Smith
ITS NOT REALLY ABOUT AN IMAGINED FUTURE. ITS A WAY OF TRYING TO COME TO TERMS WITH THE AWE AND TERROR INSPIRED IN ME BY THE WORLD IN WHICH WE LIVE After reading Neuromancer for the first time, literary scholar Larry McCaffery wrote, I knew I had seen the future of [science fiction] (and maybe of literature in general), and its name was William Gibson. McCaffery was right. Gibsons 1984 debut is one of the most celebrated SF novels of the last half century, and in a career spanning more than three decades, the American Canadian science fiction writer and reluctant futurist responsible for introducing cyberspace into the lexicon has published nine other novels. Editor Patrick A. Smith draws the twenty-three interviews in this collection from a variety of media and sourcesprint and online journals and fanzines, academic journals, newspapers, blogs, and podcasts. Myriad topics include Gibsons childhood in the American South and his early adulthood in Canada, with travel in Europe; his chafing against the traditional SF mold, the origins of cyberspace, and the unintended consequences (for both the author and society) of changing the way we think about technology; the writing process and the readers role in a new kind of fiction. Gibson (b. 1948) takes on branding and fashion, celebrity culture, social networking, the post9/11 world, future uses of technology, and the isolation and alienation engendered by new ways of solving old problems. The conversations also provide overviews of his novels, short fiction, and nonfiction.

INTERPRETING WOMENS DOMESTIC NEEDLEWORK FROM THE ITALIAN DIASPORA
FOLKLORE THEORY IN POSTWAR GERMANY

Sadhana Naithani
Can the study of folklore survive brutal wars and nationalized misappropriations? Does folklore make sense in an age of fearsome technology? These are two of several questions this book addresses with specific and profound reference to the history of folklore studies in Germany. There in the early nineteenth century in the ideological context of romantic nationalism, the works of the Brothers Grimm pioneered the discipline. The sublimation of folklore studies with the nations political history reached a peak in the 1930s under the Nazi regime. This book takes a full look at what happened to folklore after the end of World War II and the defeat of the Nazis. A special focus on Lutz Rhrich (19232006), whose work spans the decades from 1955 to 2006, makes this book a unique window into a monumental reclamation. In 1945 Rhrich returned from the warfront at the age of twenty-three, a wounded amputee. Resuming his education, he published his seminal Mrchen und Wirklichkeit (Folktale and Reality) in 1956. Naithani argues that through this and a huge body of scholarship on folktale, folksong, proverbs, and riddles over the next decades, Rhrich transformed folklore scholarship by critically challenging the legacies of Romanticism and Nazism in German folklore work. Sadhana Naithanis book is the first full-length treatment of this extraordinary German scholar written in English.

A THOROUGH EXPLORATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF A TRADITIONAL SKILL OF THE ITALIAN DIASPORA For Italian immigrants and their descendants, needlework represents a marker of identity, a cultural touchstone as powerful as pasta and Neapolitan music. Out of the artifacts of their memory and imagination, Italian immigrants and their descendants used embroidering, sewing, knitting, and crocheting to help define who they were and who they have become. This book is an interdisciplinary collection of creative work by authors of Italian origin and academic essays. The creative works from thirty-seven contributors include memoir, poetry, and visual arts while the collection as a whole explores a multitude of experiences about and approaches to needlework and immigration from a transnational perspective, spanning the late nineteenth century to the late twentieth century. At the center of the book, over thirty illustrations represent Italian immigrant womens needlework. The text reveals the many processes by which a simple object, or even the memory of that object, becomes something else through literary, visual, performance, ethnographic, or critical reimagining. While primarily concerned with interpretations of needlework rather than the needlework itself, the editors and contributors to Embroidered Stories remain mindful of its history and its associated cultural values, which Italian immigrants brought with them to the United States, Canada, Australia, and Argentina and passed on to their descendants.

On the Internet, seekers investigate anonymous manifestos that focus on the findings of brilliant scientists said to have discovered pathways into alternate realities. Gathering on web forums, researchers not only share their observations, but also report having anomalous experiences, which they believe come from their online involvement with these veiled documents. Seeming logic combines with wild twists of lost Moorish science and pseudo-string theory. Enthusiasts insist any obstacle to revelation is a sure sign of great and wide-reaching efforts by consensus powers wishing to suppress all the liberating truths in the Incunabula Papers (included here in complete form). In Legend-Tripping Online, Michael Kinsella explores these and other extraordinary pursuits. This is the first book dedicated to legend-tripping, ritual quests in which people strive to explore and find manifest the very events described by supernatural legends. Through collective performances, legend-trippers harness the interpretive frameworks these stories provide and often claim incredible, out-of-this-world experiences that in turn perpetuate supernatural legends. Legends and legend-tripping are assuming tremendous prominence in a world confronting new speeds of diversification, connection, and increasing cognitive load. As guardians of tradition as well as agents of change, legends and the ordeals they inspire contextualize ancient and emergent ideas, behaviors, and technologies that challenge familiar realities. This book analyzes supernatural legends and the ways in which the sharing spirit of the Internet collectivizes, codifies, and makes folklore of fantastic speculation.

HOW THE MEDIA HANDLED COVERAGE AND SHAPED UNDERSTANDINGS OF TWO MASSIVE AND ONGOING CATASTROPHES Along the Gulf Coast, history is often referenced as pre-Katrina or postKatrina. However, the natural disaster that appalled the world in 2005 has been joined by another catastrophe, this one manmadethe greatest environmental and maritime accident of all time, the Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill. In less than five years, the Gulf Coast has experienced two colossal disasters, very different, yet very similar. And these two equally complex crises have resulted in a steep learning curve for all, but especially the journalists covering these enduring stories. In Oil and Water, the authors explore the media-fed experiences, the visuals and narratives associated with both disasters. Katrina journalists have reluctantly had to transform into oil spill journalists. The authors look at this process of growth from the viewpoints not only of the journalists, but also of the public and of the scientific community. Through a detailed analysis of the journalists content, the authors tackle significant questions. This book assesses the quality of journalism and the effects that quality may have on the public. The authors argue that regardless of the type of journalism involved or the immensity of the events covered, successful reportage still depends on the fundamentals of journalism and the importance of following these tenets consistently in a crisis atmosphere, especially when confronted with enduring crises that are just years apart.

Fred C. Smith
THE UNTOLD STORY OF THREE NEW DEAL COOPERATIVE FARMS IN THE MOST ECONOMICALLY CHALLENGED PLACES IN THE SOUTH The Great Depression emboldened Americans to tolerate radical experimentation in search of solutions to seemingly overwhelming economic problems. Amongst the thorniest of those was rural southern poverty. In Trouble in Goshen, Fred C. Smith focuses on three communities designed and implemented to meet that challenge. This book examines the economic and social theoriesand their historiesthat resulted in the creation and operation of the most aggressive and radical experiments in the United States. Trouble in Goshen chronicles three communitarian experiments, both the administrative details and the struggles and reactions of the clients. Smith covers the Tupelo Homesteads in Mississippi, the Dyess Colony in Arkansas, and the Delta Cooperative Farm, also in Mississippi. The Tupelo Homesteads were created under the aegis of the tiny Division of Subsistence Homesteads, a short-lived, first New Deal agency. Dyess Colony was the largest of the Resettlement Administrations efforts to transform failed farmers into Jeffersonian yeoman farmers. The third community, the Delta Cooperative Farm, a product of the active cooperation between the Socialist Party of America and a cadre of liberal churchmen led by Reinhold Niebuhr, attempted to meld the pieties, passions, propaganda, and theories of Jesus and Marx. The equipment, facilities, and management styles of the projects reveal a clearly delineated class order among the poor. Trouble in Goshen demonstrates the class-conscious angst that enveloped three distinct levels of poverty and the struggles of plain folk to preserve their tenuous status and avoid overt peasantry.

Claire Goldstene
AN EXAMINATION OF THE EXTRAORDINARY USES AND ABUSES OF AN AMERICAN IDEAL DURING A TIME OF PERCEIVED PROSPERITY In The Struggle for Americas Promise, Claire Goldstene seeks to untangle one of the enduring ideals in American history, that of economic opportunity. She explores the varied discourses about its meaning during the upheavals and corporate consolidations of the Gilded Age. Some proponents of equal opportunity seek to promote upward financial mobility by permitting more people to participate in the economic sphere thereby rewarding merit over inherited wealth. Others use opportunity as a mechanism to maintain economic inequality. This tension, embedded with the idea of equal opportunity itself and continually reaffirmed by immigrant populations, animated social dissent among urban workers while simultaneously serving efforts by business elites to counter such dissent. Goldstene uses a biographical approach to focus on key figures along a spectrum of political belief as they struggled to reconcile the inherent contradictions of equal opportunity. She considers the efforts of Booker T. Washington in a postCivil War South to ground opportunity in landownership as an attempt to confront the intersection of race and class. She also explores the determination of the Knights of Labor to define opportunity in terms of controlling ones own labor. She looks at the attempts by Samuel Gompers through the American Federation of Labor as well as by business elites through the National Association of Manufacturers and the National Civic Federation to shift the focus of opportunity to leisure and consumption. The Struggle for Americas Promise also includes such radical figures as Edward Bellamy and Emma Goldman, who were more willing to step beyond the boundaries of the discourse about opportunity and question economic competition itself.

HOW A SYSTEM OF PATRONAGE AND SEXISM MARGINALIZED SOME REMARKABLE VISUAL ARTISTS Women artists of the Harlem Renaissance dealt with issues that were unique to both their gender and their race. They experienced racial prejudice, which limited their ability to obtain Contributions from training and to be taken seriously as Rene Ater working artists. They also encountered Kirsten Pai Buick prevailing sexism, often an even more Susan Earle serious barrier. Lisa Farrington Including seventy-two black and Melanie Herzog white illustrations, this book chronicles Amy Helene Kirschke the challenges of women artists, who are Theresa Leininger-Miller in some cases unknown to the general Cary D. Wintz public, and places their achievements in the artistic and cultural context of early twentieth-century America. Contributors to this first book on the women artists of the Harlem Renaissance proclaim the legacy of Edmonia Lewis, Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller, Augusta Savage, Selma Burke, Elizabeth Prophet, Lois Maillou Jones, Elizabeth Catlett, and many other painters, sculptors, and printmakers. In a time of more rigid gender roles, women artists faced the added struggle of raising families and attempting to gain support and encouragement from their often-reluctant spouses in order to pursue their art. They also confronted the challenge of convincing their fellow male artists that they, too, should be seen as important contributors to the artistic innovation of the era.

FANNIE LOU HAMER AND THE RHETORIC OF THE BLACK FREEDOM MOVEMENT
THE SOUTHERN MANIFESTO

MASSIVE RESISTANCE AND THE FIGHT TO PRESERVE SEGREGATION
Maegan Parker Brooks

THE FIRST SCHOLARLY ANALYSIS OF THE INSPIRATIONAL ACTIVISTS PROFOUND SPEECHES A sharecropper, a warrior, and a truth-telling prophet, Fannie Lou Hamer (19171977) stands as a powerful symbol not only of the 1960s black freedom movement, but also of the enduring human struggle against oppression. A Voice That Could Stir an Army is a rhetorical biography that tells the story of Hamers life by focusing on how she employed symbols images, words, and even material objects such as the ballot, food, and clothingto construct persuasive public personae, to influence audiences, and to effect social change. Drawing upon dozens of newly recovered Hamer texts and recent interviews with Hamers friends, family, and fellow activists, Maegan Parker Brooks moves chronologically through Hamers life. Brooks recounts Hamers early influences, her intersection with the black freedom movement, and her rise to prominence at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. Brooks also considers Hamers lesser-known contributions to the fight against poverty and to feminist politics before analyzing how Hamer is remembered posthumously. The book concludes by emphasizing what remains rhetorical about Hamers biography, using the 2012 statue and museum dedication in Hamers hometown of Ruleville, Mississippi, to examine the larger social, political, and historiographical implications of her legacy. The sustained consideration of Hamers wide-ranging use of symbols and the reconstruction of her legacy provided within the pages of A Voice That Could Stir an Army enrich understanding of this key historical figure. This book also demonstrates how rhetorical analysis complements historical reconstruction to explain the dynamics of how social movements actually operate.

On March 13, 1956, ninety-nine members of the United States Congress promulgated the Declaration of Constitutional Principles, popularly known as the Southern Manifesto. Reprinted here, the Southern Manifesto formally stated opposition to the landmark United State Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education, and the emergent civil rights movement. This statement allowed the white South to prevent Browns immediate fullscale implementation and, for nearly two decades, set the slothful timetable and glacial pace of public school desegregation. The Southern Manifesto also provided the Southern Congressional Delegation with the means to stymie federal voting rights legislation, so that the dismantling of Jim Crow could be managed largely on white southern terms. In the wake of the Brown decision that declared public school segregation unconstitutional, seminal events in the early stages of the civil rights movementlike the Emmett Till lynching, the Montgomery bus boycott, and the Autherine Lucy riots at the University of Alabamabrought the struggle for black freedom to national attention. Orchestrated by United States Senator Richard Brevard Russell Jr. of Georgia, the southern congressional delegation in general, and the United States Senates Southern Caucus in particular, fought vigorously and successfully to counter the initial successes of civil rights workers and maintain Jim Crow. The Souths defense of white supremacy culminated with this most notorious statement of opposition to desegregation. The Southern Manifesto: Massive Resistance and the Fight to Preserve Segregation narrates this single worst episode of racial demagoguery in modern American political history and considers the statements impact upon both the struggle for black freedom and the larger racial dynamics of postwar America.

RACE ENTERPRISE AND THE FATE OF THE SEGREGATED DOLLAR
Roberta J. Newman and Joel Nathan Rosen With introductory essays by Monte Irvin and Earl Smith
AN EXTRAORDINARY HISTORY OF THE NEGRO HOW ONE DOCUMENT MARKED THE NADIR OF AMERICAN RACIAL POLITICS AND UNLEASHED A FIRE THAT RAGED ACROSS THE SEGREGATED SOUTH Roberta J. Newman and Joel Nathan Rosen have written an authoritative social history of the Negro Leagues. This book examines how the relationship between black baseball and black businesses functioned, particularly in urban areas with significant African American populationsChicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Newark, New York, Philadelphia, and more. Inextricably bound together by circumstance, these sports and business alliances faced destruction and upheaval. Once Jackie Robinson and a select handful of black baseballs elite gained acceptance in Major League Baseball and financial stability in the mainstream economy, shock waves traveled throughout the black business world. Though the economic impact on Negro League baseball is perhaps obvious due to its demise, the impact on other black-owned businesses and on segregated neighborhoods is often undervalued if not outright ignored in current accounts. There have been many books written on great individual players who played in the Negro Leagues and/or integrated the Major Leagues. But Newman and Rosen move beyond hagiography to analyze what happens when a community has its economic footing undermined while simultaneously being called upon to celebrate a larger social progress. In this regard, Black Baseball, Black Business moves beyond the diamond to explore baseballs desegregation narrative in a critical and wide-ranging fashion. Liberal Studies at New York University.

POST-SOUL SATIRE
BLACK IDENTITY AFTER CIVIL RIGHTS
Edited by Derek C. Maus and James J. Donahue

A COLLECTION THAT EXPLORES THE ROLE OF CURRENT SATIRE IN SHAPING WHAT IT MEANS TO BE BLACK From 30 Americans to Angry White Boy, from Bamboozled to The Boondocks, from Chappelles Show to The Colored Museum, this collection of twenty-one essays takes an interdisciplinary look at the flowering of satire and its influence in defining new roles in black identity. As a mode of expression for a generation of writers, comedians, cartoonists, musicians, filmmakers, and visual/conceptual artists, satire enables collective questioning of many of the fundamental presumptions about black identity in the wake of the civil rights movement. Whether taking place in popular and controversial television shows, in a provocative series of short internet films, in prize-winning novels and plays, in comic strips, or in conceptual hip-hop albums, this satirical impulse has found a receptive audience both within and outside the black community. Such works have been variously called post-black, post-soul, and examples of a New Black Aesthetic. Whatever the label, this collection bears witness to a noteworthy shift regarding the ways in which African American satirists feel constrained by conventional obligations when treating issues of racial identity, historical memory, and material representation of blackness. Among the artists examined in this collection are Paul Beatty, Dave Chappelle, Trey Ellis, Percival Everett, Donald Glover (a.k.a. Childish Gambino), Spike Lee, Aaron McGruder, Lynn Nottage, ZZ Packer, Suzan Lori-Parks, Mickalene Thomas, Tour, Kara Walker, and George C. Wolfe. The essays intentionally seek out interconnections among various forms of artistic expression. Contributors look at the ways in which contemporary African American satire engages in a broad-ranging critique that exposes fraudulent, outdated, absurd, or otherwise damaging mindsets and behaviors both within and outside the African American community.
RACE AND THE OBAMA PHENOMENON

THE VISION OF A MORE PERFECT MULTIRACIAL UNION
Edited by G. Reginald Daniel and Hettie V. Williams

The concept of a more perfect union remains a constant theme in the political rhetoric of Barack Obama. From his now historic race speech to his second victory speech delivered on November 7, 2012, that striving is evident. Tonight, more than two hundred years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward, stated the forty-fourth president of the United States upon securing a second term in office after a hard fought political contest. Obama borrows this rhetoric from the founding documents of the United States set forth in the U.S. Constitution and in Abraham Lincolns Gettysburg Address. How naive or realistic is Obamas vision of a more perfect American union that brings together people across racial, class, and political lines? How can this vision of a more inclusive America be realized in a society that remains racist at its core? These essays seek answers to these complicated questions by examining the 2008 and 2012 elections as well as the events of President Obamas first term. Written by preeminent race scholars from multiple disciplines, the volume brings together competing perspectives on race, gender, and the historic significance of Obamas election and reelection. The president heralded in his November, 2012, acceptance speech, The idea that if youre willing to work hard, it doesnt matter who you are, or where you come from, or what you look like . . . . whether youre black or white, Hispanic or Asian or Native American. These essayists argue the truth of that statement and assess whether America has made any progress toward that vision.

AND BECAME A BEACON FOR THE REST OF AMERICA Inspired by Quakerism, Progressivism, the Social Gospel movement, and the theories of scholars such as W. E. B. Du Bois, Charles S. Johnson, Franz Boas, and Ruth Benedict, a determined group of Philadelphia activists sought to transform race relations. This book concentrates on these organizations: Fellowship House, the Philadelphia Housing Association, and the Fellowship Commission. While they initially focused on community-level relations, these activists became increasingly involved in building coalitions for the passage of civil rights legislation on the local, state, and national level. This historical account examines their efforts in three distinct, yet closely related areas, education, housing, and labor. Perhaps the most important aspect of this movement was its utilization of education as a weapon in the struggle against racism. Martin Luther King credited Fellowship House with introducing him to the passive resistance principle of satygraha through a Sunday afternoon forum. Philadelphias activists influenced the southern civil rights movement through ideas and tactics. Borrowing from Philadelphia, similar organizations would rise in cities from Kansas City to Knoxville. Their impact would have long-lasting implications; the methods they pioneered would help shape contemporary multicultural education programs. Building the Beloved Community places this innovative northern civil rights struggle into a broader historical context. Through interviews, photographs, and rarely utilized primary sources, the author critically evaluates the contributions and shortcomings of this innovative approach to race relations.

ESSAYS ON SOUTHERN LITERATURE AND FOODWAYS
Edited by Adrienne Lanier Seward and Justine Tally Foreword by Carolyn C. Denard
AN ANTHOLOGY THAT EXAMINES THE MANY ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE NOBEL LAUREATE Toni Morrison: Memory and Meaning boasts essays by well-known international scholars focusing on the authors literary production and including her very latest worksthe theatrical production Desdemona and her tenth and latest novel, Home. These original contributions are among the first scholarly analyses of these latest additions to her oeuvre and make the volume a valuable addition to potential readers and teachers eager to understand the position of Desdemona and Home within the wider scope of Morrisons career. Indeed, in Home, we find a reworking of many of the tropes and themes that run throughout Morrisons fiction, prompting the editors to organize the essays as they relate to themes prevalent in Home. In many ways, Morrison has actually initiated paradigm shifts that permeate the essays. They consistently reflect, in approach and interpretation, the revolutionary change in the study of American literature represented by Morrisons focus on the interior lives of enslaved Africans. This collection assumes black subjectivity, rather than argues for it, in order to reread and revise the horror of slavery and its consequences into our time. The analyses presented in this volume also attest to the broad range of interdisciplinary specializations and interests in novels that have now become classics in world literature. The essays are divided into five sections, each entitled with a direct quotation from Home, and framed by two poems: Rita Doves The Buckeye and Sonia Sanchezs Aaayeee Babo, Aaayeee Babo, Aaayeee Babo.

This collection examines food writing in a range of literary expressions, including cookbooks, agricultural journals, novels, stories, and poems. Contributors interpret how authors use food to explore the changing South, considering the ways race, ethnicity, class, gender, and region affect how and what people eat. They describe foods from specific southern places such as New Orleans and Appalachia, engage both the historical and contemporary South, and study the food traditions of ethnicities as they manifest through the written word.

FAULKNER AND MYSTERY

Edited by Annette Trefzer and Ann J. Abadie
ESSAYS THAT ILLUMINATE CRIME STORIES, WHODUNITS, AND QUANDARIES IN THE NOBEL LAUREATES FICTION Faulkner and Mystery presents a wide spectrum of compelling arguments about the role and function of mystery in William Faulkners fiction. Twelve new essays approach the question of what can be known and what remains a secret in the narratives of the Nobel laureate. Contributions by Scholars debate whether or not FaulkHosam Aboul-Ela ners work attempts to solve mysteries Susan V. Donaldson or celebrate the enigmas of life and the Richard Godden elusiveness of truth. Michael Gorra Scholars scrutinize Faulkners use of Lisa Hinrichsen the contemporary crime and detection Donald M. Kartiganer genre as well as novels that deepen a Sarah Mahurin plot rather than solve it. Several essays Sean McCann are dedicated to exploring the narrative Esther Snchez-Pardo strategies and ideological functions Noel Polk of Faulkners take on the detective Rachel Watson story, the classic whodunit. Among Philip Weinstein Faulkners novels most interested in the format of detection is Intruder in the Dust, which assumes a central role in this essay collection. Other contributors explore the thickening mysteries of racial and sexual identity, particularly the enigmatic nature of his female and African American characters. Questions of insight, cognition, and judgment in Faulkners work are also at the center of essays that explore his storytelling techniques, plot development, and the inscrutability of language itself.

RETURNS OF THE TEXT
NOW IN PAPERBACK

ESSAYS THAT EXPLORE CURRENT SCHOLARSHIP ON FAULKNERS WORK Faulkner and Formalism: Returns of the Text collects eleven essays in which contributors query the status of Faulkners literary text in contemporary criticism and scholarship. How do scholars today approach Faulkners texts? For some, including Arthur F. Kinney and James B. Carothers, returns of the text is a phrase that raises questions of aesthetEssays by ics, poetics, and authority. For others, Ted Atkinson the phrase serves as an invitation to Serena Haygood Blount return to Faulkners language, to writing Martyn Bone and the letter itself. Serena Blount, Owen James B. Carothers Robinson, James Harding, and Taylor Thadious Davis Hagood interpret returns of the text in Taylor Hagood the sense in which Roland Barthes charJames Harding acterizes this shift in his seminal essay Arthur F. Kinney From Work to Text. Owen Robinson Faulkners language itself is under Theresa M. Towner close scrutiny in some of the readings Ethel Young-Minor that emphasize a deconstructive or a semiological approach to his writing. Historical and cultural contexts continue to play significant roles, however, in many of the essays such as those by Thadious Davis, Ted Atkinson, Martyn Bone, and Ethel Young-Minor. Instead of approaching the literary text as a reflection, a representation of that context, these readings stress the role of the text as a challenge to the power of external ideological systems. By retaining a bond with new historicist analysis and cultural studies, these essays are illustrative of a kind of analysis that carefully preserves attention to Faulkners sociopolitical environment. The concluding essay by Theresa M. Towner issues an invitation to return to Faulkners less well-known short stories for critical exposure and the pleasure of reading.
