The Search for Good Wine

John Hailman
From the Founding Fathers to the Modern Table
The Search for Good Wine is a highly entertaining and informative book on all aspects of wine and its consumption by nationally syndicated wine columnist John Hailman, author of the critically acclaimed Thomas Jefferson on Wine. Hailman explores the wine-drinking experiences and tastes of famous wine lovers from jolly Ben Franklin and the surprisingly enthusiastic George Washington to Julius Caesar, Sherlock Holmes, and Ernest Hemingway among numerous other famous figures. Hailman also recounts in fascinating detail the exotic life of the founder of the California wine industry, Hungarian Agoston Haraszthy, who introduced Zinfindel to the United States. Hailman gives calm and reliable guidance on how to deal with snobby wine waiters and how to choose the best wine books and travel guides. He simplifies the ABCs of winegrape types from the delicate Pinot Noirs of Oregon to the robust Malbecs of Argentina and from the vibrant new whites of Spain to the great reds (old and new) of Italy. The entire book is dedicated to finding values in wine. As Hailman says, Everyone always wants to know one basic thing: How can you get the best possible wine for the lowest possible price? His new book is highly practical and effective in answering that eternal question and many more about wine. A judge at the top international wine competitions for over thirty years, Hailman examines those experiences and the value of blind tastings. He gives insightful tips on how to select a good wine store, how to decipher wine labels and wine lists, and even how to extract unruly Champagne corks without crippling yourself or others. Hailman simplifies wine jargon and effectively demystifies the culture of wine fascination, restoring the consumption of wine to the natural pleasure it really should be. John Hailman, Oxford, Mississippi, has worked as a wine consultant, a nationally syndicated weekly wine columnist, and a regular wine judge for over twenty years. He is also a retired federal prosecutor at the U.S. Attorneys office in Oxford, Mississippi. He is the author of Thomas Jefferson on Wine and From Midnight to Guntown, both from University Press of Mississippi.

Mississippi Eyes
The Story and Photography of the Southern Documentary Project Matt Herron Foreword by John Dittmer
Mississippi Eyes is the chronicle of the events and the powerful witness of five young photographers in the Southern Documentary Project, working during the pivotal summer of 1964 in the segregated South. Together they captured the sometimes violent, sometimes miraculous process of social change as segregation resisted then gave way to a new beginning toward social justice. With 160 black-and-white photographs, this book begins in the winter mud of the Mississippi Delta and ends in Atlantic Citys convention hall as the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party delegation challenged the official Mississippi delegates to the National Democratic Convention. The Southern Documentary Project was the brain child of Matt Herron, a budding photojournalist who had moved with his family to Mississippi in 1963 to work in civil rights and shoot picture stories for Life, Look, and the Saturday Evening Post. Drawing on advice from his friend, legendary documentary photographer Dorothea Lange, he pulled together a shoestring budget, recruited photographers with civil rights experience, and completed the summer with a file of unforgettable photographs. Along the way, Southern Documentary photographers suffered beatings and nearly died at the hands of a sheriffs posse in Selma, Alabama. They documented elsewhere a moving service in a sharecroppers church and captured inspirational encounters between Ivy League student teachers and black children in Freedom Schools. They followed the heartbreaking struggle of a young boy to confront the murder of his older brother by Klansmen. Mississippi Eyes is the only book to provide a firsthand account of what it was actually like to photograph the civil rights struggle in the Deep South. Matt Herron, San Rafael, California, has been a photographer, writer, and photojournalist for most of his life. He has been an ocean voyager, an environmental activist (with Greenpeace), a welder, and a labor organizer. Today he directs Take Stock, a stock photography agency specializing in historical civil rights and farm labor images.

A Biography of Margaret Walker
Assassins, Eccentrics, Politicians, and Other Persons of Interest

Fifty Pieces from the Road Curtis Wilkie Foreword by Hank Klibanoff
Writing as a newspaper reporter for nearly forty years, Curtis Wilkie covered eight presidential campaigns, spent years in the Middle East, and traveled to a number of conflicts abroad. However, his memory kept turning home and many of his most treasured stories transpire in the Deep South. He called his native Mississippi the gift that keeps on giving. For Wilkie, it represented a trove of rogues and racists, colorful personalities and outlandish politicians who managed to thrive among people otherwise kind and generous. A COMPILATION FROM Assassins, Eccentrics, Politicians, THE INCOMPARABLE and Other Persons of Interest collects news dispatches and feature stories CAREER OF ONE OF from the author during a journalism THE ORIGINAL BOYS career that began in 1963 and lasted ON THE BUS until 2000. As a young reporter for the Clarksdale Press Register, he wrote many articles that dealt with the civil rights movement, which dominated the news in the Mississippi Delta during the 1960s. Wilkie spent twenty-six years as a national and foreign correspondent for the Boston Globe. One of the original Boys on the Bus (the title of a best-selling book about journalists covering the 1972 presidential campaign), he later wrote extensively about the winning races of two southern presidents, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. Wilkie is known for stories reported deeply, rife with anecdotes, physical descriptions, and important background details. He writes about the notorious, such as the late Hunter S. Thompson, as well as more anonymous subjects whose stories, in his hands, have enduring interest. The anthology collects pieces about several notable southerners: Ross Barnett; Byron De La Beckwith and Sam Bowers; Billy Carter; Edwin Edwards and David Duke; Trent Lott; and Charles Evers. Wilkie brings a perceptive eye to people and events, and his eloquent storytelling represents some of the best journalistic writing. Curtis Wilkie, Oxford, Mississippi, spent most of his career as a national and foreign correspondent for the Boston Globe. After his retirement, he joined the faculty at the University of Mississippi, where he teaches journalism and serves as a fellow at the Overby Center for Southern Journalism and Politics. He is the author of three previous books, including The Fall of the House of Zeus.

Walt before Mickey
Disneys Early Years, 19191928 Timothy S. Susanin Foreword by Diane Disney Miller
For ten years before the creation of Mickey Mouse, Walt Disney struggled with, failed at, and eventually mastered the art and business of animation. Most biographies of his career begin in 1928, when Steamboat Willie was released. That first Disney Studio cartoon with synchronized sound made its main characterMickey Mousean icon for generations. But Steamboat Willie was neither Disneys first cartoon nor Mickey Mouses first appearance. Prior to this groundbreaking achievement, Walt THE UNTOLD STORY Disney worked in a variety of venues OF TEN CRITICAL, and studios, refining what would become known as the Disney style. In FORMATIVE YEARS IN Walt before Mickey, 19191928, TimTHE GREAT othy Susanin creates a portrait of the PRODUCERS LIFE artist from age seventeen to the cusp of his international renown. After serving in the Red Cross in France after World War I, Walt Disney worked for advertising and commercial art in Kansas City. Disney used these experiences to create four studiosKaycee Studios, Laugh-O-gram Films, Disney Brothers Studio, and Walt Disney Studio. Using company documents, private correspondence between Disney and his brother Roy, contemporary newspaper accounts, and new interviews with Disneys associates, Susanin traces Disneys path. The author shows Disney to be a complicated, resourceful man, especially during his early career. Walt before Mickey, a critical biography of a man at a crucial juncture, provides the missing decade that started Walt Disneys career and gave him the skills to become a name known worldwide. Timothy S. Susanin, Villanova, Pennsylvania, is the general counsel of a Fortune 500 company, and a former federal prosecutor, Navy JAG, and television legal commentator. His work in animation history and criticism has been published in Didier Ghezs Walts People volumes and on MichaelBarrier.com.

Ranging from the playful to the factfilled and the thoughtful, this collection tracks the fortunes of Walt Disneys flagship character.

Almost half of the eighty-one texts in A Mickey Mouse Reader document CHARACTERS ASCENT the Mouses rise to glory from that first TO THE RANK OF cartoon, Steamboat Willie, through GLOBAL ICON his seventh year when his first color animation, The Band Concert, was released. They include two important early critiques, one by the American culture critic Gilbert Seldes and one by the famed English novelist E. M. Forster. Articles and essays chronicle the continued rise of Mickey Mouse to the rank of true icon. He remains arguably the most vivid graphic expression to date of key traits of the American characterpluck, cheerfulness, innocence, energy, and fidelity to family and friends. Among press reports in the book is one from June 1944 that puts to rest the urban legend that Mickey Mouse was a password or code word on D-Day. It was, however, the password for a major pre-invasion briefing. Other items illuminate the origins of Mickey Mouse as a term for things deemed petty or unsophisticated. One piece explains how Walt and brother Roy Disney, almost single-handedly, invented the strategy of corporate synergy by tagging sales of Mickey Mouse toys and goods to the release of Mickeys latest cartoon shorts. In two especially interesting essays, Maurice Sendak and John Updike look back over the years and give their personal reflections on the character they loved as boys growing up in the 1930s. Garry Apgar, Bridgeport, Connecticut, is an art historian and former cartoonist and journalist. He is the author of Mickey Mouse: Emblem of the American Spirit and coauthor of The Newspaper in Art.

Conversations with Steve Martin presents a collection of interviews and profiles that focus on Martin as a writer, artist, and original thinker over the course of more than four decades in show business. While those less familiar with his full body of work may think of Martin as primarily the wild and crazy guy with an arrow through his head, this book makes the case that he is in fact one of our nations most accomplished and varied artists.

Standup is the hardest material in the world to write for someone else; its like trying to condense ten years of experience into twenty minutes of new material, Martin says. But commenting on his fiction writing, he says, I think you have to be able to find as a writer that state where you dont know what youre going to say or what the character is going to say or who the characters are. Thats the biggest thrill of all. When you start to trust that subconscious thing and you dont censor yourselfjust remember you can always throw it awaythats when the good stuff comes out. Robert E.

Life, Love, and Art in the French Quarter
In the early twentieth century, the French Quarter had become home to a vibrant community of working artists attracted to the atmosphere, architecture, and colorful individuals who populated the scene (and who also became some of its first preservationists). Louisiana native Rolland Golden was one of these artists to live, work, and raise a family in this most storied corner of New Orleans. Replete with ninety-four black-and-white and fifty-four color photographs and illustrations, many never before seen, his memoir of that AN EXTRAORDINARY life focuses on the period of 1955 to RECOLLECTION OF 1976. Golden, a painter, discusses the particular challenges of making a living HOW AN ARTIST LIVED from art, and his story becomes a family AND WORKED IN THE affair involving his daughters and his FRENCH QUARTER beloved wife, Stella. BEFORE ITS GENTRIFI Goldens studio sat in a patio on Royal Street, around the corner from CATION Preservation Hall where old-time musicians played Dixieland Jazz. Golden sketched and painted many of them in a visual style that encompassed realism and gradually developed into abstract realism. Golden recalls work that he did in historic preservation, sketching architecture for publications such as the Vieux Carre Courier, and he relates his studies with renowned regionalist painter John McCrady. The artist frankly discusses his experiences with the display, representation, and sale of his work, presenting a little-explored yet crucial part of a working artists life. The memoir concludes with Golden and his wife traveling to the premiere of his exhibition in Moscow, having been selected by a Russian envoy as the only American artist to have a one-man touring exhibition in the former Soviet Union.
Rolland Golden, Folsom, Louisiana, and Natchez, Mississippi, has won countless awards from New York to California. He has held over one hundred one-man shows in galleries, cultural centers, and museums in the United States. His works reside in museums such as the New Orleans Museum of Art; the Pushkin Museum, Moscow; and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art.

To Write in the Light of Freedom

The Newspapers of the 1964 Mississippi Freedom Schools Edited by William Sturkey and Jon N. Hale
Fifty years after Freedom Summer, To Write in the Light of Freedom offers a glimpse into the hearts of the African American youths who attended the Mississippi Freedom Schools in 1964. One of the most successful initiatives of Freedom Summer, more than forty Freedom Schools opened doors to thousands of young African American students. Here they learned civics, politics, and history, curricula that helped them see beyond the degrading lessons supporting segregation and Jim Crow and sanctioned by White Citizens Councils. Young people enhanced their self-esteem and gained a new outlook on the future. And at more than a dozen of these schools, students wrote, edited, printed, and published their own newspapers. For more than five decades, the Mississippi Freedom Schools have served as powerful models of educational activism. Yet, little has been published that documents black Mississippi youths responses to this profound experience. For the first time, the sincere words, thoughts, and dreams of the original students are published here in a powerful documentary collection. This edited volume contains hundreds of newspaper articles written by those black youths who yearned to gain knowledge and pursue greater levels of freedom. The homegrown newspapers from the many schools contain a variety of poems, stories, essays, and testimonies that yield raw, honest reactions to Freedom Schools, to the civil rights movement, and to life under Jim Crow. Together, these transcribed newspaper pieces recover the inspiring voices of Freedom School students, and offer a unique vision of how everyday youth responded to the clarion call of the civil rights movement.
As tensions mounted before Freedom Summer, one organization tackled the divide by opening lines of communication at the request of local women: Wednesdays in Mississippi (WIMS). Employing an unusual and deliberately feminine approach, WIMS brought interracial, interfaith teams of northern middle-aged, middle- and upper-class women to Mississippi to meet with their southern counterparts. Sponsored by the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), WIMS operated on the belief that the northern participants gender, age, and class would serve as an entre to southerners who had dismissed other civil rights activists as radicals. The WIMS teams respectable appearance and quiet approach enabled THE STORY OF BRAVE them to build understanding across race, region, and WOMEN WHO MET religion where other overtures had failed. TO BUILD BRIDGES The only civil rights program created for women by women as part of a national organization, WIMS BETWEEN THE offers a new paradigm through which to study civil RACES AND END rights activism, challenging the stereotype of FreeSEGREGATION dom Summer activists as young student radicals and demonstrating the effectiveness of the subtle approach taken by these women. The book delves into the motivations for womens civil rights activism and the role religion played in influencing supporters and opponents of the civil rights movement. Lastly, it confirms that the NCNW actively worked for integration and black voting rights while also addressing education, poverty, hunger, housing, and employment as civil rights issues. After successful efforts in 1964 and 1965, WIMS became Workshops in Mississippi, which strived to alleviate the specific needs of poor women. Projects that grew from these efforts still operate today. Debbie Z. Harwell, Kingwood, Texas, teaches in the Honors College at the University of Houston and serves as the managing editor of Houston History. Her work has appeared in the Journal of Southern History.

Until You Are Dead, Dead, Dead

The Hanging of Albert Edwin Batson Jim Bradshaw and Danielle Miller
In 1902, on a prairie in southwest Louisiana, six members of a farming family are found murdered. Albert Edwin Batson, a white, itinerant farm worker, transformed from likely suspect to likely lynching victim as people in the surrounding countryside lusted for vengeance. In a territory where the locals were coping with the opening of the prairies by the railroad and the disorienting, disruptive advances of the rice and oil industries into what was predominantly cattle country, Batson, an outsider, made an ideal scapegoat. HOW THE TANGLES OF Until You Are Dead, Dead, Dead NINETEENTH-CENTURY tells the story of the legal trials of Batson JUSTICE ENSNARED AN for the murder of six members of the Earll family and of the emotional trial of ITINERANT WORKER IN his mother. She believed him innocent LOUISIANA and worked tirelessly, but futilely, to save her sons life. Almost two dozen photos of Batson, his mother, and the principals involved in his arrest and convictions help bring this struggle to life. Though the evidence against him was entirely circumstantial, most of the citizenry of southwest Louisiana considered him guilty. Sensational headlines in national and local newspapers stirred up so much emotion, authorities feared he would be lynched before they could hang him legally.

Perilous Place, Powerful Storms

Hurricane Protection in Coastal Louisiana Craig E. Colten
The hurricane protection systems that failed New Orleans when Katrina roared on shore in 2005 were the product of four decades of engineering hubris, excruciating delays, and social conflict. In Perilous Place, Powerful Storms, Craig E. Colten traces the protracted process of erecting massive structures designed to fend off tropical storms and examines how human actions and inactions left the system incomplete on the eve of its greatest challenge. Hurricane Betsy in 1965 provided the impetus for Congress to approve A HISTORY OF OVERunprecedented hurricane protection REACHING, GRIDLOCK, for the New Orleans area. Army Engineers swiftly outlined a monumental INTRIGUE, AND THE barrier network that would not only FINAL CATASTROPHIC safeguard the city at the time but also RESULTS ALONG provide for substantial growth. SchedAMERICAS MOST uled for completion in 1978, the project encountered a host of frustrating VULNERABLE delays. From newly imposed environCOASTLINE mental requirements to complex construction challenges, to funding battles, to disputes over proper structures, the buffer envisioned for southeast Louisiana remained incomplete forty years later as Hurricane Katrina bore down on the city. As Colten reveals, the very remedies intended to shield the city ultimately contributed immensely to the residents vulnerability by encouraging sprawl into flood-prone territory that was already sinking within the ring of levees. Perilous Place, Powerful Storms illuminates the political, social, and engineering lessons of those who built a hurricane protection system that failed and serves as a warning for those guiding the recovery of post-Katrina New Orleans and Louisiana.

In Mississippi in the Civil War: The Home Front, Timothy B. Smith examines Mississippis Civil War defeat by both outside and inside forces. The invading Union army dismantled the states political system, infrastructure, economy, and fighting capability. The state saw extensive military operations, destruction, and bloodshed within its borders. One of the most frightful and extended sieges of the war ended in a crucial Confederate defeat at Vicksburg, the capstone to a tremendous Union campaign. As Confederate forces and MisA FULL EXAMINATION sissippi became overwhelmed miliOF A POPULATIONS tarily, the populaces morale began PASSION AND DEFEAT to crumble. Realizing that the enemy could roll unchecked over the state, civilians, Smith argues, began to lose the will to continue the struggle. Many white Confederates chose to return to the Union rather than see continued destruction in the name of a victory that seemed ever more improbable. When the tide turned, Unionists and African Americans boldly stepped up their endeavors. The result, Smith finds, was a state vanquished and destined to endure suffering far into its future. The first examination of the states Civil War home front in seventy years, this book tells the story of all classes of Mississippians during the war, focusing new light on previously neglected groups such as women and African Americans.

Conversations Edited by Eric Hoffman and Dominick Grace

Canadian cartoonist Gregory Gallant, (b. 1962), pen name Seth, emerged as a cartoonist in the fertile period of the 1980s, when the alternative comics market boomed. Though he was influenced by mainstream comics in his teen years and did his earliest comics work on Mister X, a mainstream-style melodrama, Seth remains one of the least mainstream-inflected figures of the alternative comics movement. His primary influences are underground comix, newspaper strips, and classic cartooning. AM I NOSTALGIC?

Over the run of the comic, Sim used it as a springboard to explore not only the potential of the comics medium but also many of the core assumptions of Western society. Through it he analyzed politics, the dynamics of love, religion, and, most controversially, the influence of feminismwhich Sim believes has had a CEREBUS WAS negative impact on society.

Death, Disability, and the Superhero

The Silver Age and Beyond Jos Alaniz
The Thing. Daredevil. Captain Marvel. The Human Fly. Drawing on DC and Marvel comics from the 1950s to the 1990s and marshaling insights from three burgeoning fields of inquiry in the humanitiesdisability studies, death and dying studies, and comics studiesJos Alaniz seeks to redefine the contemporary understanding of the superhero. Beginning in the Silver Age, the genre increasingly challenged and complicated its hypermasculine, quasi-eugenicist biases through such disabled figures as Ben Grimm/The Thing, THE FIRST FULL-LENGTH Matt Murdock/Daredevil, and the EXAMINATION OF THE Doom Patrol. EVOLVING SUPERHERO Alaniz traces how the superhero THROUGH THE LENS OF became increasingly vulnerable, ill, and mortal in this era. He then proceeds to a DISABILITY STUDIES reinterpretation of characters and series some familiar (Superman), some obscure (She-Thing). These genre changes reflected a wider awareness of related body issues in the postwar United States as represented by hospice, death with dignity, and disability rights movements. The persistent highlighting of the bodys imperfection comes to forge a predominant aspect of the superheroic self. Such moves, originally part of the Silver Age strategy to stimulate sympathy, enhance psychological depth, and raise the dramatic stakes, developed further in such later series as The Human Fly, Strikeforce: Morituri, and the landmark graphic novel The Death of Captain Marvel, all examined in this volume. Death and disability, presumed routinely absent or denied in the superhero genre, emerge to form a core theme and defining function of the Silver Age and beyond. Jos Alaniz, Seattle, Washington, is associate professor in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures and the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of Washington Seattle.

Sharp, and Lisa Yaszek Black and Brown Planets embarks on a timely exploration of the American obsession with color in its look at the sometimes contrary intersections of politics and race in science fiction. The contributors, including De Witt Douglas Kilgore, Edward James, Lisa LITERARY EXPLOYaszek, and Marleen S. Barr, among RATIONS INTO THE others, explore science fiction worlds RADICAL, HOPEFUL of possibility (literature, television, and film), lifting blacks, Latin Americans, RACIAL FUTURES and indigenous peoples out from the IMAGINED BY SCIENCE background of this historically white FICTION genre. This collection considers the role of race and ethnicity in our visions of the future. The first section emphasizes the political elements of black identity portrayed in science fiction from black America to the vast reaches of interstellar space. In the next section, analysis of indigenous science fiction addresses the effects of colonization, helps discard the emotional and psychological baggage carried from its impact, and recovers ancestral traditions in order to adapt in a post-Native-apocalyptic world. Likewise, this section explores the affinity between science fiction and subjectivity in Latin American cultures from the role of science and industrialization to the effects of being in and moving between two cultures. By infusing more color into this otherwise monochrome genre, Black and Brown Planets imagines alternate racial galaxies in which people of color determine human destiny. Isiah Lavender III, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is an assistant professor of English at Louisiana State University. He is the author of Race in American Science Fiction.

Hearths of Darkness traces the origins of the 1970s family horror subgenre to certain aspects of American culture and classical Hollywood cinema. Far from being an ephemeral and shortlived genre, horror actually relates to many facets of American history from its beginnings to the present day. Individual chapters examine aspects of the genre, its roots in the Universal horror films of the 1930s, the Val Lewton RKO unit of the 1940s, and the crucial role of Alfred Hitchcock as the father of the modern American horror film. A THOROUGH STUDY Subsequent chapters investigate OF A MOVIE GENRE the key works of the 1970s by direcTHAT REACHED ITS tors such as Larry Cohen, George A.

Tony Williams also studies the slasher films of the 1980s and 1990s, such as the Friday the 13th series, Halloween, the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Nightmare on Elm Street, exploring their failure to improve on the radical achievements of the films of the 1970s. After covering some post-1970s films, such as The Shining, the book concludes with a new postscript examining neglected films of the twentieth and early twenty-first century. Despite the overall decline in the American horror film, Williams determines that, far from being dead, the family horror film is still with us. Elements of family horror even appear in modern television series such as The Sopranos. This updated edition also includes a new introduction. Tony Williams, Carbondale, Illinois, is a professor of English and area head of film studies in the English Department at Southern Illinois University. His recent books include The Cinema of George A. Romero: Knight of the Living Dead; John Woos Bullet in the Head; and George A. Romero: Interviews (published by University Press of Mississippi).

Harmony Korine: Interviews tracks filmmaker Korines stunning rise, fall, and rise again through his own evolving voice. Bringing together interviews collected from over two decades, this unique chronicle includes rare interviews unavailable in print for years and an extensive, new conversation recorded at the filmmakers home in Nashville. After more than twenty years, Harmony Korine (b. 1973) remains one of the most prominent and yet subversive filmmakers in America. Ever since his THE FACT THAT THESE entry into the independent film scene FILMS EXIST IS A as the irrepressible prodigy who wrote VICTORY. THE VICTORY the screenplay for Larry Clarks Kids in 1992, Korine has retained his stature as IS IN THE CREATION. the ultimate cinematic provocateur. He both intelligently observes modern social milieus and simultaneously thumbs his nose at them. Now approaching middle age, and more influential than ever, Korine remains intentionally sensationalistic and ceaselessly creative. In 1995, Korine was discovered while skateboarding and became the bad boy teen writer behind Kids. He parlayed this success into directing the dreamy portrait of neglect Gummo two years later. With his audacious 1999 digital video drama Julien Donkey-Boy, Korine continued to demonstrate a penchant for fusing experimental, subversive interests with lyrical narrative techniques. Surviving an early career burnout, he resurfaced with a trifecta of insightful works that built on his earlier aesthetic leanings: a surprisingly delicate rumination on identity (Mister Lonely), a gritty quasi-diary film (Trash Humpers), a blistering portrait of American hedonism (Spring Breakers), which yielded significant commercial success. Throughout his career he has also continued as a mixed media artist whose fields include music videos, paintings, photography, publishing, songwriting, and performance art. Eric Kohn, Brooklyn, New York, is the chief film critic and a senior editor for Indiewire as well as the manager of the Criticwire Network. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, Cineaste, Filmmaker, and other publications. He is a member of the New York Film Critics Circle.

Conversations with Jerome Charyn

Edited by Sophie Vallas
This volume of fourteen interviews covers the prolific and rich career of author Jerome Charyn (b. 1937). Four of the interviews appear in English for the first time, and two interviews appear here in print for the first time as well. As one of his autobiographical volumes claims, Jerome Charyn is a Bronx Boy, a child born from immigrant parents who went through Ellis Island in the 1920s like so many other travelers without luggage, a little werewolf who grew up on his own in the chaos of the Bronx ghetto.

While WE RECEIVE AND Charyn has spent much of his life in REINVENT IT IN Paris, he has paradoxically never left the Bronx: El Bronx is there inside my INCREDIBLE head, and I revisit it the way HemingMULTIPLES way would fish the Big Two-Hearted River in his dreams. His whole work is a long attempt at evoking his own history and celebrating his lifelong marveling at the power of languageour second skinas well as his deep, unflinching belief in the promises of fiction. Since 1964, Charyn has published more than fifty books ranging from fiction to nonfiction and including short stories, very popular crime novels, graphic novels co-written with European artists, essays on American culture and cinema as well as on New York, autobiography, and biographyan ever-changing production that has made it difficult for critics to classify him. And yet in many ways Charyns writing thrives on constant currents: the words voice, song, undersong, or rhythm return frequently in his interviews as he explains what literature is to him and ceaselessly asserts that he is trying to find a music for a musicless world, a language for people who cannot speak. Sophie Vallas, Aix-en-Provence, France, teaches at Aix-Marseille Universit, France. She has published essays on several American novelists including Paul Auster, Chester Himes, J. D.

Considering that he worked a stint as a screenwriter, it will come as little surprise that Faulkner has often been called the most cinematic of novelists.

Drawing on film history, critical theory, archival studies of Faulkners screenplays, and scholarship about his work in Hollywood, the nine essays show a keen awareness of literary modernism and its relation to film.

Sara Le Menestrel explores the role of music in constructing, asserting, erasing, and negotiating differences based on the notions of race, ethnicity, class, and region. She discusses established notions and brings to light social stereotypes and hierarchies at work in the evolving French Louisiana music field. She also draws attention to the interactions between oppositions such as black and white, urban and rural, differentiation and creolization, and local and global.

MusiSHAPE A COMMON cal genealogy and categories currently MUSICAL HERITAGE in use rely on a racial construct that frames African and European lineage as an essential difference. Yet as the author samples music in the field and discovers ways music is actually practiced, she reveals how the insistence on origins continually interacts with an emphasis on cultural mixing and creative agency. This book finds French Louisiana musicians navigating between multiple identifications, musical styles, and legacies while market forces, outsiders interest, and geographical mobility also contribute to shape musicians career strategies and artistic choices. The book also demonstrates the decisive role of nonnatives enthusiasm and mobility in the validation, evolution, and reconfiguration of French Louisiana music. Finally, the distinctiveness of South Louisiana from the rest of the country appears to be both nurtured and endured by locals, revealing how political domination and regionalism intertwine.

In 1971, French jazz critics Philippe Carles and Jean-Louis Comolli cowrote Free Jazz/Black Power, a treatise on the racial and political implications of jazz and jazz criticism. It remains a testimony to the long ignored encounter of radical African American music and French left-wing criticism. Carles and Comolli set out to defend a genre vilified by jazz critics on both sides of the Atlantic by exposing the new sounds ties to African American culture, history, and the political struggle that was raging in the early 1970s. The FOR THE FIRST TIME two offered a political and cultural hisIN ENGLISH, THE tory of black presence in the United States to shed more light on the dubiCLASSIC VOLUME THAT DEVELOPED A RADICAL ous role played by jazz criticism in racial oppression.

The authors CULTURE reached radical conclusionsfree jazz was a revolutionary reaction against white domination, was the musical counterpart to the Black Power movement, and was a music that demanded a similar political commitment. The impact of this book is difficult to overstate, as it made readers reconsider their response to African American music. In some cases it changed the way musicians thought about and played jazz. Free Jazz/ Black Power remains indispensable to the study of the relation of American free jazz to European audiences, critics, and artists.

This collection analyzes twenty-firstcentury American television programs that employ temporal and narrative HOW SHIFTS IN TIME experimentation. These shows play AND STORYLINE with time, slowing it down to unfold CREATE NARRATIVE narrative through time retardation INTRIGUE ON and compression. They disrupt the chronological flow of time itself, using TELEVISION flashbacks and insisting that viewers be able to situate themselves in both the present and the past narrative threads. Although temporal play has existed on the small screen prior to the new millennium, never before has narrative time been so freely adapted in mainstream television. The essayists offer explanations for not only the frequency of time-play in contemporary programming, but also the implications of its sometimes disorienting presence. Drawing upon the fields of cultural studies, television scholarship, and literary studies, as well as overarching theories concerning postmodernity and narratology, Time in Television Narrative offers some critical suggestions. The increasing number of television programs concerned with time may stem from the following: recent scientific approaches to quantum physics and temporality; new conceptions of history and posthistory; or trends in late-capitalistic production and consumption, in the new culture of instantaneity, or in the recent trauma culture amplified after the September 11 attacks. In short, these televisual time experiments may very well be an aesthetic response to the climate from which they derive. These essays analyze both ends of this continuum and also attend to another crucial variable: the television viewer watching this new temporal play. Melissa Ames, Champaign, Illinois, is assistant professor of English at Eastern Illinois University. She is coeditor of Women and Language: Essays on Gendered Communication across Media.

The Mississippi Secession Convention

Timothy B. Smith
Delegates and Deliberations in Politics and War, 18611865
This multidisciplinary book provides the most accurate and most recent SURVEY OF THE information on health and health care in HEALTH CARE CRISIS IN the state of Mississippi. The editor and ONE OF THE NATIONS contributors explain why the state finds itself in precarious health conditions POOREST STATES and reveal the prevailing circumstances as the state debates a path toward a comprehensive health care system for its citizens. They show who has had access to good health care and celebrate the heroes who struggled to provide health care to all Mississippians. The essays contribute to the debate on how the health care system might be restructured, reconstructed, or adjusted to meet the needs of all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and national origin. The issue of health disparities and socioeconomic status leads to a relevant discussion of whether health and access to quality care are a right of all people, or the privilege of a few. The volume offers a clear understanding of health care trends in the state from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries up to the present and the prospects of transcending the obstacles of its own creation over the past two centuries. It likewise highlights the economic challenges that Mississippi confronts and how wise and realistic its priorities are in meeting the needs of its diverse populations, particularly racial and ethnic minorities.
A COMPREHENSIVE
The Mississippi Secession Convention is the first full treatment of any secession convention to date. Studying the Mississippi convention of 1861 offers insight into how and why southern states seceded and the effects of such a breech. Based largely on primary sources, this book provides a unique insight into the broader secession movement. There was more to the secession convention than the mere act of leaving the Union, which was done only three days into the deliberations. The THE FIRST EXAMINArest of the three-week January 1861 TION OF THE ENTIRE meeting as well as an additional week CONVENTION AND THE in March saw the delegates debate and pass a number of important ordinances MEN WHO DELIBERthat for a time governed the state. As ATED THERE seen through the eyes of the delegates themselves, with rich research into each member, this book provides a compelling overview of the entire proceeding. The effects of the convention gain the most analysis in this study, including the political processes that, after the momentous vote, morphed into unlikely alliances. Those on opposite ends of the secession question quickly formed new political allegiances in a predominantly Confederate-minded convention. These new political factions formed largely over the issues of central versus local authority, which quickly played into Confederate versus state issues during the Civil War. In addition, author Timothy B. Smith considers the lasting consequences of defeat, looking into the effect secession and war had on the delegates themselves and, by extension, their state, Mississippi. Timothy B. Smith, Adamsville, Tennessee, teaches history at the University of Tennessee at Martin. He is the author, editor, or coeditor of twelve books, including Mississippi in the Civil War: The Home Front and James Z. George: Mississippis Great Commoner (both published by University Press of Mississippi).

Southern Ladies and Suffragists

Julia Ward Howe and Womens Rights at the 1884 New Orleans Worlds Fair Miki Pfeffer
Women from all over the country came to New Orleans in 1884 for the Womans Department of the Cotton Centennial Exposition, that portion of the Worlds Fair exhibition devoted to the celebration of womens affairs and industry. Their conversations and interactions played out as a drama of personalities and sectionalism at a transitional moment in the history of the nation. These women planted seeds at the Exposition that would have otherwise taken decades to drift southward. A CLOSE LOOK AT THE This book chronicles the successes and setbacks of a lively cast of postISSUES OF GENDER bellum women in the first Womans AND POWER AT THE Department at a worlds fair in the Deep 1884 WORLDS FAIR IN South. From a wide range of primary NEW ORLEANS documents, Miki Pfeffer re-creates the sounds and sights of 1884 New Orleans after the Civil War and Reconstruction. She focuses on how difficult unity was to achieve, even when diverse women professed a common goal. Such celebrities as Julia Ward Howe and Susan B. Anthony brought national debates on womens issues to the South for the first time, and journalists and ordinary women reacted. At the Worlds Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, the Womans Department became a petri dish where cultures clashed but where women from across the country exchanged views on propriety, jobs, education, and suffrage. Pfeffer memorializes womens exhibits of handwork, literary and scientific endeavors, inventions, and professions, but she proposes that the real impact of the six-month long event was a shift in womens self-conceptions of their public and political lives. For those New Orleans ladies who were ready to seize the opportunity of this uncommon forum, the Womans Department offered a future that they had barely imagined. Miki Pfeffer, Thibodaux, Louisiana, is an independent researcher and native New Orleanian whose work has appeared in the Encyclopedia of Worlds Fairs and Expositions and in journals such as the Louisiana Historical Journal and La Creole.

BOUNDARIES OF PAUL These essays expand categories GILROYS THE BLACK and suggest patterns that have united ATLANTIC individuals and communities across the African diaspora.

What, for example, connects the eighteenth-century Igbo author Olaudah Equiano with 1940s literary figure Richard Wright; nineteenth-century expatriate anthropologist Antenor Fermin with 1960s Haitian migrs to the Congo; Japanese Pan-Asianists and Southern Hemisphere Aboriginal activists with Jamaican-born Marcus Garvey; or Angela Davis with artists of the British Black Arts Movement, Ingrid Pollard and Zarina Bhimji?

Using the slave narratives of Henry Bibb and Frederick Douglass, as well as the work of W. E. B. Du Bois, James Baldwin, Walter Mosley, and Barack Obama, Ronda C. Henry Anthony examines how womens bodies are used in African American literature to fund the production of black masculine ideality and power. In tracing representations of ideal black masculinities and femininities, the author shows how black mens struggles for gendered agency are inextricably bound up with their complicated relation to white men HOW WOMENS and normative masculinity. The historiBODIES FUNCTION cal context in which this study couches WITHIN PRODUCTIONS these struggles highlights the extent to which shifting socioeconomic circumOF IDEAL AND stances dictate the ideological, cultural, PROGRESSIVE BLACK and emotional terms upon which black MASCULINITIES IN men conceptualize identity. Yet, Henry Anthony quickly moves AFRICAN AMERICAN to texts that challenge traditional LITERATURE constructions of black masculinity. In these texts she traces how the emergence of collaboratively gendered discourses, or a blending of black female/male feminist consciousnesses, are reshaping black masculinities, femininities, and intraracial relations for a new century.

The Port Royal Experiment

A Case Study in Development Kevin Dougherty
The Port Royal Experiment builds on classic scholarship to present not a historical narrative but a study of what is now called development and nation building. The Port Royal Experiment was a joint governmental and private effort begun during the Civil War to transition former slaves to freedom and self-sufficiency. Port Royal Harbor and the Sea Islands off the coast of South Carolina were liberated by Union Troops in 1861. As the Federal advance began, the white plantation owners and residents fled, abandoning apAN EXAMINATION OF proximately 10,000 black slaves. SeverTHE EMANCIPATED al private Northern charity organizations stepped in to help the former ISLANDS OF THE slaves become self-sufficient. NonetheCAROLINA COAST less, the Port Royal Experiment was THAT SHEDS LIGHT ON only a mixed success and was contested by efforts to restore the status quo THE DIFFICULTIES OF of white dominance. Return to home NATION BUILDING rule then undid much of what the experiment accomplished. The Port Royal Experiment divides into ten chapters, each of which is designed to treat a particular aspect of the experience. Topics include planning considerations, philanthropic society activity, civil society, economic development, political development, and resistance. Each chapter presents the case study in the context of more recent developmental and nation-building efforts in such places as Bosnia, Somalia, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Modern readers will see that the challenges that faced the Port Royal Experiment remain relevant, even as their solutions remain elusive. Kevin Dougherty, Charleston, South Carolina, is a tactical officer and adjunct professor at The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina. He is the author of thirteen books, including The Peninsula Campaign of 1862: A Military Analysis, Civil War Leadership and Mexican War Experience, and Weapons of Mississippi, all published by University Press of Mississippi.

Burial Customs of the Arkansas Ozarks, 18501950
Before there was a death care industry where professional funeral directors offered embalming and other services, residents of the Arkansas Ozarksand, for that matter, people throughout the Southburied their own dead. Every part of the complicated, labor-intensive process was handled within the deceaseds community. This process included preparation of the body for burial, making a wooden coffin, digging the grave, and overseeing the burial ceremony, as well as observing a wide variety of customs and superstiA RICH SURVEY OF tions.

Abby Burnett covers attempts to stave off death; passings that, for various reasons, could not be mourned according to tradition; factors contributing to high maternal and infant mortality; and the ways in which loss was expressed through obituaries and epitaphs.

Critical Interventions in Caribbean Politics and Theory

Brian Meeks
These essays by Brian Meeks, a noted public intellectual in the Caribbean, reflect on Caribbean politics, particularly radical politics and ideologies in the postcolonial era. But his essays also explain the peculiarities of the contemporary neoliberal period while searching for pathways beyond the current plight. In the first part, titled Theoretical Forays, Meeks makes a conscious attempt to engage with contemporary Caribbean political thought at a moment of flux and search for a releA WELL-KNOWN vant theoretical language and style to PUBLIC INTELLECTUALS both explicate the Caribbeans recent INTENSE ENGAGEMENT past and confront the difficult conditions of the early twenty-first century. WITH POLITICS IN The next part, Caribbean Questions, THE CONTEMPORARY both retrospective and biographical, CARIBBEAN retraces the authors own engagement with the University of the West Indies, the short-lived but influential Caribbean Black Power movement, the work of seminal Trinidadian thinker and activist Lloyd Best, Cubas relationship with Jamaica, and the crisis and collapse of the Grenada Revolution. As evident in its title, Jamaican Journeys, the concluding section excerpts and extracts from a longer, more sustained engagement with Jamaican politics and society. Much of Meekss argument builds around the notion that Jamaica faces a crucial moment, as the author seeks to chart and explain its convoluted political path and dismal economic performance over the past three decades. Meeks remains surprisingly optimistic as he suggests that despite the emptying of sovereignty in the increasingly globalized world, windows to enhanced human development might open through greater democracy and popular inclusion. Brian Meeks, Kingston, Jamaica, is professor of social and political change at the University of the West Indies, Mona, and director of the Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies. He has published nine books and edited collections, including Caribbean Revolutions and Revolutionary Theory and Envisioning Caribbean Futures: Jamaican Perspectives.

Grenada experienced much turmoil in the 1970s and 1980s, culminating in an armed Marxist revolution, a bloody military coup, and finally in 1983 Operation Urgent Fury, a United Statesled invasion.

There is much POLITICS, AND THE controversy: though the Organization EVENTUAL INVASION of American States formally requested intervention from President Ronald OF THE ISLAND Reagan, world media coverage was NATION largely negative and skeptical, if not baffled, by the action, which resulted in a rapid defeat and the deposition of the Revolutionary Military Council. By examining the possibilities and contradictions of the Grenada Revolution, the contributors draw upon thirty years of hindsight to illuminate a crucial period of the Cold War. Beyond geopolitics, the book interrogates but transcends the nuances and peculiarities of Grenadas political history to situate this revolution in its larger Caribbean and global context. In doing so, contributors seek to unsettle old debates while providing fresh understandings about a critical period in the Caribbeans postcolonial experience. This collection throws into sharp focus the centrality of the Grenada Revolution, offering a timely contribution to Caribbean scholarship and to wider understanding of politics in small developing, postcolonial societies.

Grenade, Grenada, West Indies, is a lecturer in political science, Department of Government, Sociology and Social Work, Faculty of Social Sciences, the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, Barbados.

Volume I Edited by Jack V. Haney
The folktales of A. N. Afanasev represent the largest single collection of folktales in any European language and perhaps in the world. Widely regarded as the Russian Grimm, Afanasev collected folktales from throughout the Russian Empire in what are now regarded as the three East Slavic languages, Byelorusian, Russian, and Ukrainian. The result of his own collecting, the collecting of friends and correspondents, and in a few cases his publishing of works from earlier and forgotten collections is truly phenomenal. In his lifetime, Afanasev THE FIRST VOLUME OF published more than 575 tales in his A COMPREHENSIVE most popular and best known work, GATHERING OF TALES Narodnye russkie skazki. In addition to this basic collection, he prepared a FROM THE RUSSIAN volume of Russian legends, many on GRIMM religious themes, an anthology of mildly obscene tales, and voluminous writings on Slavic folk life and Slavic mythology. His works were subject to the strict censorship of ecclesiastical and state authorities that lasted until the demise of the Soviet Union at the end of the twentieth century. Overwhelmingly, his particular emendations were of a stylistic nature, while those of the censors mostly concerned content. The censored tales are generally not included in this volume. Up to now, there has been no complete English-language version of the Russian folktales of Afanasev. This translation is based on L. G. Barag and N. V. Novikovs edition, widely regarded as the authoritative Russian-language version. The present edition includes commentaries to each tale as well as its international classification number. Jack V. Haney, Seattle, Washington, is a retired professor of Slavic languages and literatures, University of Washington, and is the translator and editor of Long, Long Tales from the Russian North (published by University Press of Mississippi).

Ian Brodie
A New Approach to Stand-Up Comedy
In A Vulgar Art Ian Brodie uses a folkloristic approach to stand-up comedy, leveraging the disciplines central method of studying interpersonal, artistic communication and performance. Because stand-up comedy is a rather broad category, people who study it often begin by relating it to something they recognize such as literature or theatre, and analyze it accordingly. A Vulgar Art begins with a more fundamental observation: someone is standing in front of a group of people, talking to them directly, and trying to make THE FIRST EXAMINAthem laugh. So this book takes the moTION OF STAND-UP ment of performance as its focus and shows that stand-up comedy is a colCOMEDY THROUGH THE LENS OF FOLKLORE laborative act between the comedian and the audience. Although the form of talk on the stage resembles talk among friends and intimates in social settings, standup comedy remains a profession. As such, it requires performance outside of the comedians own community to gain larger and larger audiences. How do comedians re-create that atmosphere of intimacy in a roomful of strangers? This book regards everything from microphones to clothing and LPs to twitter as strategies for bridging the spatial, temporal, and sociocultural distances between the performer and the audience. Ian Brodie, Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada, is associate professor of folklore at Cape Breton University. He has served as president of the Folklore Studies Association of Canada and is currently the editor for Contemporary Legend: The Journal of the International Society for Contemporary Legend Research.

Proverbs remain WORLDWIDE part and parcel of oral and written communication, and, he demonstrates, they deserve to be studied from a range of viewpoints. While various chapters deal with a variety of issues and approaches, they cohere through a rhetorical perspective that looks at the text, texture, and context of proverbs as speech acts that make a noteworthy impact on culture and society. Whether proverbs appear in everyday speech, on the radio, on television, in films, on the pages of newspapers or magazines, in advertisements, in literary works, or in political speeches, they serve as formulaic verbal devices to add authoritative weight through tradition, convention, and wisdom.
