The World of a Wayward
Comic Book Artist
The Private Sketchbooks of S. Plunkett
Foreword by Michael Wm Kaluta
The World of a Wayward Comic Book Artist: The

Private Sketchbooks of S. Plunkett is a fascinating look
at the creative processes of Sandy Plunkett. A self-taught
illustrator and comic book artist, Plunkett came of age in
New York City during the ‘60s and ‘70s and began draw-
ing for Marvel Comics at eighteen. Throughout his ongo-
ing career he has drawn for several other major publishers,
including DC.
Featuring nearly four hundred selections from sketch-

books kept over the past twenty years, this collection is
an insightful examination of the difficulties and successes
Plunkett has experienced in keeping his work alive and
evolving. The drawings cover a wide range of styles and
subject matter, though all are rooted in the visual ver-
nacular of illustration, comic, and popular art of America,
evincing influences as diverse as Thomas Hart Benton and
R. Crumb. Images of creatures, both actual and imagined,
fabulous characters, and dreamlike worlds are juxtaposed
with studies from Plunkett’s life. The sketchbook images,
along with a foreword by Michael Wm Kaluta and an
updated interview of Plunkett by Comic Book Artist’s Tim
Barnes, provide a fascinating insight into artistic process,
debate, and fruition.
Sandy Plunkett‘s career began in

New York City drawing for DC and
Marvel Comics. His trademark look
can be seen on countless posters,
album covers, and political car-
toons. He lives in Athens, Ohio.

The Dred Scott Case
Historical and Contemporary Perspectives
on Race and Law
Edited by David Thomas Konig, Paul Finkelman,

and Christopher Alan Bracey
In 1846 two slaves, Dred and Harriet Scott, filed petitions

for their freedom in the Old Courthouse in St. Louis, Mis-
souri. As the first true civil rights case decided by the U.S.
Supreme Court, Dred Scott v. Sandford raised issues that
have not been fully resolved despite three amendments to
the Constitution and more than a century and a half of
litigation.

Abolitionism and

the geographic framework in which the history of aboli-

working-class radicals, British evangelicals, African political
entrepreneurs—played a part. The Atlantic was an echo “I must pay Derek Peterson

When Sugar Ruled
Economy and Society in Northwestern
Argentina, Tucumán, 1876–1916
Patricia Juarez-Dappe
Two tropical commodities – coffee and sugar – dominated

Latin American export economies in the nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries. When Sugar Ruled presents a
distinctive case that does not quite fit into the pattern of
many Latin American sugar economies. Tucumán’s sugar
industry catered exclusively to the needs of the expanding
national market and was financed mostly by domestic
capital. The expansion of sugar production did not produce
massive land dispossession as sugar mills relied on outside
growers for the supply of a large share of the sugarcane.
The arrival of thousands of workers from neighboring
provinces transformed rural society profoundly. As the
most dynamic sector in Tucumán’s economy, revenues from
sugar enabled the provincial government to participate in
the modernizing movement that was sweeping turn-of-
the-century Argentina. “The most

Trustee for the
Human Community
Ralph J. Bunche, the United Nations,
and the Decolonization of Africa
Edited by Robert A. Hill and Edmond J. Keller
Ralph J. Bunche (1904–1971), winner of the Nobel Peace Prize

in 1950, was a key U.S. diplomat in the planning and creation
of the United Nations in 1945. In 1947 he was invited to join
the permanent UN Secretariat as director of the new Trusteeship
Department. In this position, Bunche played a key role in setting
up the trusteeship system that provided important impetus for
the postwar decolonization ending European control of Africa
as well as an international framework for the oversight of the
decolonization process after the Second World War.
Trustee for the Human Community is the first volume to

examine the totality of Bunche’s unrivalled role in the struggle
for African independence both as a key intellectual and an inter-
national diplomat and to illuminate it from the broader African
American perspective.
These commissioned essays examine the full range of Ralph

Bunche’s involvement in Africa. The scholars explore sensitive
political issues, such as Bunche’s role in the Congo and his views
on the struggle in South Africa. Trustee for the Human Com-
munity stands as a monument to the profoundly important role
of one of the greatest Americans in one of the greatest political
movements in the history of the twentieth century.

Women Writers Map the Empire
for British Children, 1790–1895
Megan A. Norcia
During the nineteenth century, geography primers shaped

the worldviews of Britain’s ruling classes and laid the
foundation for an increasingly globalized world. Written
by middle-class women who mapped the world that they
had neither funds nor freedom to traverse, the primers
employed rhetorical tropes such as the Family of Man or
discussions of food and customs in order to plot other
cultures along an imperial hierarchy.

Domestic Violence and

the Law in Colonial and
Postcolonial Africa
Edited by Emily S. Burrill, Richard L. Roberts,
and Elizabeth Thornberry
Domestic Violence and the Law in Colonial and Post-

colonial Africa reveals the ways in which domestic space
and domestic relationships take on different meanings in
African contexts that extend the boundaries of family obliga-
tion, kinship, and dependency. The term domestic violence
encompasses kin-based violence, marriage-based violence,
gender-based violence, as well as violence between patrons
and clients who shared the same domestic space. As a lived

Land, Memory,
Reconstruction, and Justice
Perspectives on Land Claims
in South Africa
Edited by Cherryl Walker, Anna Bohlin,
Ruth Hall, and Thembela Kepe
In South Africa land is one of the most significant and con-

troversial topics. Land restitution has been a complex, multi-
dimensional process that has failed to meet the expectations
with which it was initially launched in 1994.
Ordinary citizens, policymakers, and analysts have begun to

question progress in land reform in the years since South Afri-
ca’s transition to democracy. Land, Memory, Reconstruc-
tion, and Justice brings together a wealth of topical material
and case studies by leading experts in the field who present
a rich mix of perspectives from politics, sociology, geography,
social anthropology, law, history, and agricultural economics.
The collection addresses both the material and the symbolic
dimensions of land claims, in rural and urban contexts, and
explores the complex intersection of issues confronting the
restitution program, from the promotion of livelihoods to
questions of rights, identity, and transitional justice.
A valuable contribution to the field of land and agrarian stud-

ies, both in South Africa and internationally, it is undoubtedly
the most comprehensive treatment to date of South Africa’s
postapartheid land claims process and will be essential reading
for scholars and students of land reform for years to come.

Dead Letters to
Nietzsche, or the
Necromantic Art of
Reading Philosophy
Joanne Faulkner
Dead Letters to Nietzsche examines how writing shapes

subjectivity through the example of Nietzsche’s reception
by his readers, including Stanley Rosen, David Farrell Krell,
Georges Bataille, Laurence Lampert, Pierre Klossowski, and
Sarah Kofman. More precisely, Joanne Faulkner finds that
the personal identification that these readers form with
Nietzsche’s texts is an enactment of the kind of identity-
formation described in Lacanian and Kleinian psycho-
analysis. This investment of their subjectivity guides their
understanding of Nietzsche’s project, the revaluation of
values.
Not only does this work make a provocative contribution

to Nietzsche scholarship, but it also opens in an original
way broader philosophical questions about how readers
come to be invested in a philosophical project and how
such investment alters their subjectivity.
Joanne Faulkner is an ARC post-

doctoral fellow at the University of
New South Wales, Sydney. She is
coauthor of Understanding Psycho-
analysis and has published articles on
Nietzsche and Freud.

Midwestern gardeners and landscapers are becoming

flowers and plants over popular nonnative species. The

Midwestern Native Garden offers viable alternatives to
both amateurs and professionals, whether they are consid-
ering adding a few native plants or intending to go native
all the way. Native plants improve air and water quality,
reduce use of pesticides, and provide vital food and repro-
ductive sites to birds and butterflies, that nonnative plants
cannot offer, helping bring back a healthy ecosystem.
The authors provide a comprehensive selection of native

alternatives that look similar or even identical to a range
of nonnative ornamentals. These are native plants that
are suitable for all garden styles, bloom during the same
season, and have the same cultivation requirements as their
nonnative counterparts. Plant entries are accompanied by
nature notes setting out the specific birds and butterflies
the native plants attract.
The Midwestern Native Garden will be a welcome guide

to gardeners whose styles range from formal to naturalistic
but who want to create an authentic sense of place, with
regional natives. The beauty, hardiness, and easy mainte-
nance of native Midwestern plants will soon make them
the new favorites.

Marilou K. Suszko inspires cooks to keep local flavors in the
kitchen year round. From asparagus in the spring to pump-
kins in the fall, Suszko helps readers learn what to look for
when buying seasonal homegrown or locally grown foods
as well as how to store fresh foods, and which cooking
methods bring out fresh flavors and colors. Suszko shares
tips and techniques for extending seasonal flavors with
detailed instructions on canning, freezing, and dehydrating
and which methods work best for preserving texture and
flavor.
The Locavore’s Kitchen is an invaluable reference for

discovering the delicious world of fresh, local, and seasonal

The Civil War in Documents
Edited by Pearl T. Ponce
When the Civil War broke out in April 1861, Kansas was in
a unique position. It had been a state for mere weeks, and
already its residents were intimately acquainted with civil
strife. Since its organization as a territory in 1854, Kansas
had been the focus of a national debate over the place of
slavery in the Republic. By 1856, the ideological conflict
developed into actual violence, earning the territory the
sobriquet “Bleeding Kansas.” Because of this steady esca-

by the illustrated maps in airport lounges, or perhaps they
are the blueprints of the Apocalypse, with their subjects
and objects representing the bitter fruits of either some

vision is so bleak and unsparing, only a few will be able
to savor them. Here, the art of poetry has been mecha-

segregation was discrimination and thus unconstitutional.
The decision enabled Mitchell to implement the legislative
program that President Truman’s Committee on Civil Rights
outlined in its landmark 1947 report, To Secure These
Rights.
The papers show how Mitchell persuaded President Truman

to extend further the Fair Employment Practices Com-
mission idea by issuing an executive order to enforce the
nondiscrimination clause in government contracts with
private industry; President Eisenhower further revised and
strengthened this order. Mitchell similarly won the sup-
port of both presidents in ending segregation in many

Anglophone Poetry in

A Critical Anthology
Edited by Mary Ellis Gibson
Anglophone Poetry in Colonial India, 1780–1913: A

Critical Anthology makes accessible for the first time
the entire range of poems written in English on the sub-
continent from their beginnings in 1780 to the watershed
moment in 1913 when Rabindranath Tagore won the
Nobel Prize in Literature.
Fall • winter
Mary Ellis Gibson establishes accurate texts for such well-
known poets as Toru Dutt and the early Indian English poet
Kasiprasad Ghose. The anthology brings together poets
who were in fact colleagues, competitors, and influences
on each other. The historical scope of the anthology, begin-
ning with the famous Orientalist Sir William Jones and the
anonymous “Anna Maria” and ending with Indian poets
publishing in fin-de-siècle London, will enable teachers
and students to understand what brought Kipling early
fame and why at the same time Tagore’s Gitanjali became
a global phenomenon. Anglophone Poetry in Colonial
India, 1780–1913 puts all parties to the poetic conversa-
tion back together and makes their work accessible to
American audiences.
With accurate and reliable texts, detailed notes on vocabu-

lary, historical and cultural references, and biographical
introductions to more than thirty poets, this collection will
significantly reshape the understanding of English language
literary culture in India. It allows scholars to experience
the diversity of poetic forms created in this period and to
understand the complex religious, cultural, political, and
gendered divides that shaped them.

Youth in East African History
Edited by Andrew Burton and

Contemporary Africa is demographically characterized

above all else by its youthfulness. In East Africa the median
age of the population is now a striking 17.5 years, and
more than 65 percent of the population is age 24 or under.
This situation has attracted growing scholarly attention,
resulting in an important and rapidly expanding literature
on the position of youth in African societies.
