“Bertram L. Baker could not have had a better biographer than Ron Howell, a gifted
journalist and truth seeker. Howell’s mesmerizing description of his grandfather’s life
and career also paints an indispensable portrait an entire borough, city, and nation.
Following in the footsteps of another politician from Nevis—Founding Father Alexander
Hamilton—Bertram L. Baker was a pioneer whose untold personal and political story is
brilliantly depicted by a virtuoso and gifted writer who is well suited to revive him for all
of us.” — EDWI DGE DA N T I CAT, author of Breath, Eyes, Memory (an Oprah’s Book Club pick)
Boss of Black Brooklyn presents a riveting and untold story about the struggles and
achievements of the first black person to hold public office in Brooklyn. Bertram L.
Baker immigrated to the United States from the Caribbean island of Nevis in 1915.
Three decades later, he was elected to the New York state legislature, representing
the Bedford Stuyvesant section. A pioneer and a giant, Baker has a story that is finally
revealed in intimate and honest detail by his grandson Ron Howell.
Boss of Black Brooklyn begins with the tale of one man’s rise to prominence in a
fascinating era of black American history, a time when thousands of West Indian
families began leaving their native islands in the Caribbean and settling in New York
City. In 1948, Bert Baker was elected to the New York state assembly, representing the
growing central Brooklyn neighborhood of Bedford Stuyvesant. Baker loved telling his
fellow legislators that only one other Nevisian had ever served in the state assembly.
That was Alexander Hamilton, the founding father. Making his own mark on modern
history, Baker pushed through one of the nation’s first bills outlawing discrimination
in the sale or rental of housing. Also, for thirty years, from 1936 to 1966, he led the
Boss of all-black American Tennis Association, as its executive secretary. In that capacity
he successfully negotiated with white tennis administrators, getting them to accept
Althea Gibson into their competitions. Gibson then made history as the first black
Black Brooklyn champion of professional tennis. Yet, after all of Baker’s wonderful achievements, little
has been written to document his role in black history.
Baker represents a remarkable turning point in the evolution of modern New York

“The charm of this book, its foremost value, is that it proceeds from the viewpoint
of a superb visual artist who uses this particular structure and cityscape, the
Brooklyn Bridge, as her muse. It is this personal encounter with the physical sites
of her protagonists that makes the book so unusual. As well, her exploration of the
inner chambers of the bridge is novel and thrilling.”
— P HI LLI P LO PAT E
In the Shadow of Genius is the newest book by photographer and author Barbara
Mensch. The author combines her striking photographs with a powerful first-person
narrative. She takes the reader on a unique journey by recalling her experiences living
alongside the bridge for more than 30 years, and then by tracing her own curious path
to understand the brilliant minds and remarkable lives of those who built it: John,
Washington, and Emily Roebling.
Many of Mensch’s photographs were inspired by her visits to the Roebling archives
housed at Rutgers University, where she pieced together through notebooks, diaries,
letters, and drawings the seminal locations and events that affected their lives.
Following in their footsteps, Mensch traveled to Mühlhausen, Germany, the birthplace
of John Roebling; to Saxonburg, Pennsylvania, where Roebling established a utopian
community in 1831; to Roebling aqueducts and bridges in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New
York; and to the Civil War battlefield in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where Washington
Roebling, the son of the famous engineer, valiantly served as a Union soldier. The book
begins and ends with Mensch’s unique photographs of the Brooklyn Bridge, including
never-before-seen images captured deep within the structure. The book creatively
In the Shadow fuses contemporary photography with the historical record, giving the reader a new
perspective on contemplating the masterwork.

An estimated 2 billion people around the world watched the catastrophic destruction
of the World Trade Center. The enormity of the moment was immediately understood
and quickly took on global proportions. What has been less obvious is the effect on the
locus of the attacks, New York City, not as a seat of political or economic power, but as
a community; not in the days and weeks afterward, but over months and years. New
York after 9/11 offers insightful and critical observations about the processes set in
motion by September 11, 2001 in New York, and holds important lessons for the future.
This interdisciplinary collection brings together experts from diverse fields
to discuss the long-term recovery of New York City after 9/1. Susan Opotow and
Zachary Baron Shemtob invited experts in architecture and design, medicine, health,
community advocacy, psychology, public safety, human rights, law, and mental health
to look back on the aftereffects of that tragic day in key spheres of life in New York
City. With a focus on the themes of space and memory, public health and public safety,
trauma and conflict, and politics and social change, this comprehensive account of
how 9/11 changed New York sets out to answer three questions: What were the key
conflicts that erupted in New York City in 9/11’s wake? What clashing interests were
involved and how did they change over time? And what was the role of these conflicts
in the transition from trauma to recovery for New York City as a whole?
Contributors discuss a variety of issues that emerged in this tragedy’s wake, some
immediately and others in the years that followed, including: PTSD among first
responders; conflicts and design challenges of rebuilding the World Trade Center
site, the memorial, and the museum; surveillance of Muslim communities; power

struggles among public safety agencies; the development of technologies for faster

and historicizes the challenges of memorialization and recovery. Each chapter offers
a nuanced, vivid, and behind-the-scenes account of issues as they unfolded over

During the rise of New York from the capital of an upstart nation to a global metropolis,
the visual language of Greek and Roman antiquity played a formative role in the
development of the city’s art and architecture. This compilation of essays offers a
survey of diverse reinterpretations of classical forms in some of New York’s most
iconic buildings, public monuments, and civic spaces.
Classical New York examines the influence of Greco-Roman thought and design
from the Greek Revival of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries through
the late-nineteenth-century American Renaissance and Beaux Arts period and
into the twentieth century’s Art Deco. At every juncture, New Yorkers looked to the
classical past for knowledge and inspiration in seeking out new ways to cultivate a
civic identity, to design their buildings and monuments, and to structure their public
and private spaces.
Specialists from a range of disciplines—archaeology, architectural history, art
history, classics, and history—focus on how classical art and architecture are
repurposed to help shape many of New York City’s most evocative buildings and works
of art. Federal Hall evoked the Parthenon as an architectural and democratic model;
the Pantheon served as a model for the creation of Libraries at New York University
and Columbia University; Pennsylvania Station derived its form from the Baths of
Caracalla; and Atlas and Prometheus of Rockefeller Center recast ancient myths in a
new light during the Great Depression.
Designed to add breadth and depth to the exchange of ideas about the place and
meaning of ancient Greece and Rome in our experience of New York City today,
Classical
this examination of post-Revolutionary art, politics, and philosophy enriches the
conversation about how we shape space—be it civic, religious, academic, theatrical, or
domestic—and how we make use of that space and the objects in it.

Bad Faith recounts the history of the Rapp-Coudert investigation into alleged
communist subversion in the public schools and municipal colleges of New York City.
With roots in the intellectual and political life of the city, the Rapp-Coudert probe,
lasting from August 1940 to March 1942, enjoyed the support not only of conservatives
but also of key liberal reformers and intellectuals. In reconstructing this part of the
history of prewar anticommunism, Bad Faith challenges assumptions about the
origins of McCarthyism, about the recent history of the liberal political tradition, and
about the role of anticommunism in modern American life. This study finds in the
Rapp-Coudert inquiry an expression of the liberal side of the “countersubversive
tradition” in American political culture, as it explores how prominent Depression-
era liberals, as they joined conservatives in accusing communists of “bad faith” and
branded them enemies of American democracy, anticipated and made McCarthyism
possible.
In reconstructing these political and historical currents in the life of New York
City, Bad Faith explorets fundamental schisms between liberals and communists
that defied the apparent unity of the Popular Front, uncovering a dark side of the
liberal tradition, one that shaped the nation’s academic and intellectual life for several
postwar generations. Across that divide between liberal and communist, in schools
and teachers’ unions especially, flew accusations of bad faith and misrepresentation,
lying, and deception that defined liberal anticommunism and led many liberals
to argue that the communist left should be excluded from American educational
institutions and political life. This study of Rapp-Coudert also raises difficult

In a metropolis like New York, homelessness can blend into the urban landscape.
For editor Susan Greenfield, however, New York is the place where a community
of resilient, remarkable individuals are yearning for a voice. Sacred Shelter follows
the lives of thirteen formerly homeless people, all of whom have graduated from the
life skills empowerment program, an interfaith life skills program for homeless and
formerly homeless individuals in New York. Through frank, honest interviews, these
individuals share traumas from their youth, their experience with homelessness, and
the healing they have discovered through community and faith.
Edna Humphrey talks about losing her grandparents, father, and sister to illness,
accident, and abuse. Lisa Sperber discusses her bipolar disorder and her whiteness.
Dennis Barton speaks about his unconventional path to becoming a first-generation
college student and his journey to reconnect with his family. The memoirists share
stories about youth, family, jobs, and love. They describe their experiences with racism,
mental illness, sexual assault, and domestic violence. Each of the thirteen storytellers
honestly expresses his or her brokenheartedness and how finding community and
faith gave them hope to carry on.
Interspersed among these life stories are reflections from program directors,
clerics, mentors, and volunteers who have worked with and in the life skills
empowerment program. In his reflection, George Horton shares his deep gratitude for
and solidarity with the 500-plus individuals he has come to know since he co-founded
the program in 1989. While religion can be divisive, Horton firmly believes that all
faiths urge us to “welcome the stranger” and, as Pope Francis asks, “accompany”

them through the struggles of life. Through solidarity and suffering, many formerly
homeless individuals have found renewed faith in God and community. Beyond
trauma and strife, Dorothy Day’s suggestion that “All is grace” is personified in these
Thirteen Journeys of thirteen stories. Jeremy Kalmanofsky, rabbi at Ansche Chesed Synagogue, says the
program points toward a social fabric of encounter and recognition between strangers,
Homelessness and Healing who overcome vast differences to face one another, which in Hebrew is called Panim

“A miracle of poetic reincarnation, Ezra Pound’s Cathay finally gets a

comprehensive and thorough treatment in this critical edition. A marvel of
scholarship that will be required reading for all students of poetry.”
—YUN T E HUA N G, author of Inseparable: The Original Siamese Twins and Their
Rendezvous with American History
“If Pound’s translations are in many respects mistaken, they are among the
most generative mistakes in world literary history.”
— CHRI STO P HER B USH, from the Introduction
Ezra Pound’s Cathay (1915) is a masterpiece of modernism, but also one of world
literature. The muscular precision of images that mark Pound’s translations helped
established a modern style for American literature, at the same time creating a
thirst for classical Chinese poetry in English. Yet Pound wrote it without knowing
any Chinese, relying instead on word-for-word “cribs” left by the Orientalist Ernest
Fenollosa, whose notebooks reveal a remarkable story of sustained cultural exchange.
This fully annotated critical edition focuses on Pound’s astonishing translations
without forgetting that the original Chinese and Old English poems are masterpieces
in their own right. By placing Pound’s final text alongside the poems it claims to
translate, as well as the manuscript traces of Pound’s Japanese and American
interlocutors, the volume resituates Cathay as a classic of world literature.
The Pound texts and their intertexts are presented with care, clarity, and visual
elegance. In addition to the Chinese poems of Cathay, the volume also includes
Cathay
that volume’s additional poem, Pound’s famous translation of “The Seafarer” from
Anglo-Saxon, as well as fifteen further Pound translations from Chinese and his essay

The ease with which an ‘undesirable’ culture can be summarily disappeared is not a grim
aberration relegated to a long-ago past—it’s a monster of the here-and-now. This is a chilling
commentary, compassionate and character-driven, penned by a poet who is resolute and
relentless as witness.”
— PAT R I C I A SMI T H
“Vividly reimagined and gorgeously rendered, Julia Bouwsma’s Midden gives voice to the
citizens of Malaga Island, off the coast of Maine, who early in the twentieth century were
removed from their homes, their lives destroyed. Bouwsma writes, ‘I tried to write the island
/ to life.’ In this devastating and beautiful collection, she does just that, as she expands the
field of documentary poetics. These poems bear witness to the tragedy of Malaga Island and
demand that we remember our country’s violence to people and land. Julia Bouwsma’s voice
is eloquent and urgent.”

Xamissa
H E NK R O SS O U W
Xamissa is a book-length poem that sounds out the city of Cape Town in a joyful elegy for the city
of alternate takes. Xamissa adapts the mythical name for the springs and streams running from
Table Mountain to the sea, under the city itself, since before the colonial Dutch ships came—the
X of the title standing in for the multiple ways in the languages of the Cape, past and present, the
reader may pronounce the first consonant.
A work of documentary poetics that investigates the cost of whiteness in South Africa,
Xamissa code-switches at times into Lontara, the subversive Indonesian script that undercuts
the prevalence of Dutch in the colonial archive. Through serial questions around the ethics of
its address, Xamissa probes the interrelation of language, sociality, and resistance, in its bid to
interrogate the archive as a draft of the city’s future.

The new geological epoch we call the Anthropocene is not just a scientific
classification. It marks a radical transformation in the background conditions of
life on Earth, one taken for granted by much of who we are and what we hope for.
Never before has a species possessed both a geological-scale grasp of the history of
the Earth and a sober understanding of its own likely fate. Our situation forces us
to confront questions both philosophical and of real practical urgency. We need to
rethink who “we” are, what agency means today, how to deal with the passions stirred
by our circumstances, whether our manner of dwelling on Earth is open to change, and,
ultimately, “What is to be done?” Our future, that of our species, and of all the fellow
travelers on the planet depend on it.
The real-world consequences of climate change bring new significance to
some very traditional philosophical questions about reason, agency, responsibility,
community, and man’s place in nature. The focus is shifting from imagining and
promoting the “good life” to the survival of the species. Deep Time, Dark Times
challenges us to reimagine ourselves as a species, taking on a geological consciousness.
Drawing promiscuously on the work of Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, Derrida,
Deleuze, and other contemporary French thinkers, as well as the science of
climate change, David Wood reflects on the historical series of displacements and
de-centerings of both the privilege of the Earth, and of the human, from Copernicus
through Darwin and Freud to the declaration of the age of the Anthropocene. He
argues for the need to develop a new temporal phronesis and to radically rethink
who “we” are in respect to solidarity with other humans, and responsibility for
Deep Time,
the nonhuman stakeholders with which we share the planet. In these brief, lively
chapters, Wood poses a range of questions centered on our individual and collective
political agency. Might not human exceptionalism be reborn as a sort of hyperbolic
Dark Times responsibility rather than privilege?

The Blind Man is written with the force of literature. Desjarlais’s fierce

— JOÃO B I EHL, Princeton University
The Blind Man: A Phantasmography examines the complicated forces of perception,

imagination, and phantasms of encounter in the contemporary world. In considering
photographs he took while he was traveling in France, anthropologist and writer
Robert Desjarlais reflects on a few pictures that show the features of a man, apparently
blind, who begs for money at a religious site in Paris. In perceiving this stranger and
the images his appearance projects, he begins to imagine what this man’s life is like
and how he perceives the world around him.
Written in journal form, the book narrates Desjarlais’s pursuit of the man portrayed
in the photographs. He travels to Paris and tries to meet with him. Eventually,
Desjarlais becomes unsure as to what he sees, hears, or remembers. Through these

interpretive dilemmas he senses the complexities of perception, where all is multiple,
shifting, spectral, a surge of phantasms in which the actual and the imagined are
endlessly blurred and intertwined. His own vision is affected in a troubling way.

“Seldom do I read a book with such verve and audacity as When God Was a Bird.
Mark Wallace has given us a treasure, almost in the form of a parable, because if
God is manifest in a bird—the Holy Spirit as dove—where else might God be found?
And what might that radical, even creation-wide incarnation of God mean for us
today? Highly recommended.”
— B RI A N D. MCLA REN , author of The Great Spiritual Migration
“This book brings forth a luminous animism for all to see, previously hidden in the
scriptures and traditions of Christianity yet embedded in the body of the Earth

— MA RY EVELYN T UCK ER, Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology
In a time of rapid climate change and species extinction, what role have the world’s
religions played in ameliorating—or causing—the crisis we now face? One can point to
Christianity’s otherworldly theologies, which privilege our spiritual aspirations over
our natural origins, as bearing a disproportionate burden for creating humankind’s
exploitative attitudes toward nature.
And yet, buried deep within the Christian tradition are startling portrayals of
God as the beaked and feathered Holy Spirit—the “animal God” of historic Christian
witness. Through biblical readings, historical theology, continental philosophy, and
personal stories of sacred nature, this book recovers the Christian God as a creaturely,
When God Was

avian being promiscuously incarnated within all things.
This beautifully and accessibly written book shows that “Christian animism” is
not a contradiction in terms but Christianity’s natural habitat. Challenging traditional
a Bird Christianity’s self-definition as an otherworldly religion, Wallace paves the way for
a new Earth-loving spirituality grounded in the ancient image of an animal God who
signals the presence of spirit in everything, human and more-than-human alike.

This work provides the first systematic discussion of the Bodhisattva path and its
importance for constructive Christian theology. Crucified Wisdom examines specific
Buddhist traditions, texts, and practices not as phenomena whose existence requires
an apologetic justification but as wells of tested wisdom that invite theological insight.
With the increasing participation of Christians in Buddhist practice, many are seeking
a deeper understanding of the way the teachings of the two traditions might interface.
Christ and the Bodhisattva are often compared superficially in Buddhist–Christian
discussion. This text combines a rich exposition of the Bodhisattva path, using
Śāntideva’s classic work the Bodicaryāvatāra and subsequent Tibetan commentators,
with detailed reflection on its implications for Christian faith and practice.
Author S. Mark Heim lays out root tensions constituted by basic Buddhist
teachings on the one hand, and Christian teachings on the other, and the ways in
which the Bodhisattva or Christ embody and resolve the resulting paradoxes in their
respective traditions. An important contribution to the field of comparative theology
in general and to the area of Buddhist–Christian studies in particular, Crucified
Wisdom proposes that Christian theology can take direct instruction from Mahāyāna
Buddhism in two respects: deepening its understanding of our creaturely nature
through no-self insights, and revising its vision of divine immanence in dialogue with
teachings of emptiness. Heim argues that Christians may affirm the importance of
novelty in history, the enduring significance of human persons, and the Trinitarian
reality of God, even as they learn to value less familiar, nondual dimensions of Christ’s
incarnation, human redemption, and the divine life.
Crucified
Crucified Wisdom focuses on questions of reconciliation and atonement in
Christian theology and explores the varying interpretations of the crucifixion of
Jesus in Buddhist–Christian discussion. The Bodhisattva path is central for major
Wisdom contemporary Buddhist voices such as the Dalai Lama and Thích Nhât Ha.nh, who
figure prominently as conversation partners in the text. This work will be of particular
value for those interested in “dual belonging” in connection to these traditions.

A Great Sacrifice
Northern Black Soldiers, Their Families, and the Experience of Civil War
JA M E S G. M ENDEZ
A Great Sacrifice is an in-depth analysis of the effects of the Civil War on northern black families
carried out using letters from northern black women—mothers, wives, sisters, and female family
friends—addressed to a number of Union military officials.
Collectively, the letters give a voice to the black family members left on the northern homefront.
Through their explanations and requests, readers obtain a greater apprehension of the struggles
African American families faced during the war, and their conditions as the war progressed. The
original letters that were received by government agencies, as well as many of the copies of the
letters sent in response, are held by the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
This study is unique because it examines the effects of the war specifically on northern black
families. Most other studies on African Americans during the Civil War focused almost exclusively
on the soldiers.

“If there is any hope for the human, and if the idea of the human is of any use to the
enactment of that hope, then the aesthetic claims and categories through which
the human and its subjects are exalted and degraded must be placed under the
most violent and most loving scrutiny. Under Representation exemplifies such
scrutiny. The rigorous care with which David Lloyd examines and challenges
the entanglement of race, representation, and the aesthetic is irresistible and
indispensable. Under Representation is a major, and singular, achievement.”
— FRED MOT EN , New York University
Under Representation shows how the founding texts of aesthetic philosophy ground
the racial order of the modern world in our concepts of universality, freedom, and
humanity. Late Enlightenment discourse on aesthetic experience proposes a decisive
account of the conditions of possibility for universal human subjecthood. The
aesthetic forges a powerful “racial regime of representation” whose genealogy runs
from Enlightenment thinkers like Kant and Schiller to late Modernist critics like
Adorno and Benjamin. For aesthetic philosophy, representation is not just about
depiction of diverse humans or inclusion in political or cultural institutions. It is an
activity that undergirds the various spheres of human practice and theory, from the
most fundamental acts of perception and reflection to the relation of the subject to the
political, the economic, and the social.
Representation regulates the distribution of racial identifications along a
developmental trajectory: The racialized remain “under representation,” on the
threshold of humanity and not yet capable of freedom and civility as aesthetic thought
Under defines those attributes. To ignore the aesthetic is thus to overlook its continuing force
in the formation of the racial and political structures down to the present.
Both a genealogy and an account of our present, Under Representation ultimately
Representation helps show how a political reading of aesthetics can help us build a racial politics
adequate for the problems we face today, one that stakes claims more radical than
multicultural demands for representation.

“Shimabuku examines the complex relationship between the United States and

While Okinawa may seem at the periphery of two imperial powers, Shimabuku

Okinawan life, at the crossroads of American militarism and Japanese capitalism,

embodies a fundamental contradiction to the myth of the monoethnic state.
Suspended in a state of exception, Okinawa has never been an official colony of the
Japanese empire or the United States, nor has it ever been treated as an equal part
of Japan. As a result, Okinawans live amid one of the densest concentrations of U.S.
military bases in the world. By bringing Foucauldian biopolitics into conversation with
Japanese Marxian theory, Alegal uncovers Japan’s determination to protect its middle
class from the racialized sexual contact around its mainland bases by displacing
them onto Okinawa, while simultaneously upholding Okinawa as a symbol of the
Alegal
infringement of Japanese sovereignty.
This symbolism, however, has provoked ambivalence within Okinawa. In base

“Figuring Violence is a challenging, highly original contribution to critical

research on affect and the visual culture of militarization. Adelman vividly
analyzes the people and nonhuman animals around whom militarized affect
gets assembled in contemporary U.S. culture, scaling the fine granularities of
militarized feeling and the larger imaginaries of wartime mediation, and their
devastating consequences. This book calls us in and challenges us to take on the
struggle against militarized violence and its powerful structures of feeling. It is
a critical read for anyone willing to ‘stay with the trouble’ of doing the emotional
and political work that de-militarization requires of us.”
— CA RRI E REN TSCHLER, McGill University
In the United States, the early years of the war on terror were marked by the primacy
of affects like fear and insecurity. These aligned neatly with the state’s drive toward
intensive securitization and an aggressive foreign policy. But for the broader citizenry,
such affects were tolerable at best and unbearable at worst; they were not sustainable.
Figuring Violence catalogs the affects that define the latter stages of this war and
the imaginative work that underpins them. These affects—apprehension, affection,
admiration, gratitude, pity, and righteous anger—are far more subtle and durable than
their predecessors, rendering them deeply compatible with the ambitions of a state
embroiling itself in a perpetual and unwinnable war.
Surveying the cultural landscape of this sprawling conflict, Figuring Violence
reveals the varied mechanisms by which these affects have been militarized. Rebecca
Adelman tracks their convergences around six types of beings: civilian children,

“A vitally important book that stakes out a new position in the environmental humanities.”

The Anthropocene announces a post-natural planet that can be remade at will through the process of
geoengineering. With it, a new kind of power, geopower, takes the entire Earth, in its social, biological,
and geophysical dimensions, as an object of knowledge, intervention, and governmentality. This shift

question the divide between nature and culture and have thus found themselves helpless against the
project to replace Earth with Earth 2.0.

Ecological Form
System and Aesthetics in the Age of Empire
NATH A N K . HENSLEY and PH ILIP ST EER, editors
afterword by KAREN PINKU S
Ecological Form brings together leading voices in nineteenth-century ecocriticism to suture the
lingering divide between postcolonial and ecocritical approaches. Together, these essays show
how Victorian thinkers used aesthetic form to engage problems of system, interconnection, and
dispossession that remain our own. The authors reconsider Victorian literary structures in light of
environmental catastrophe; coordinate “natural” questions with sociopolitical ones; and underscore
the category of form as a means for generating environmental—and therefore political—knowledge.
Moving from the elegy and the industrial novel to the utopian romance, the scientific treatise, and
beyond, Ecological Form demonstrates how nineteenth-century thinkers conceptualized the
circuits of extraction and violence linking Britain to its global network. Yet the book’s most pressing
argument is that this past thought can be a resource for reimagining the present.

Mapping Memory
Visuality, Affect, and Embodied Politics in the Americas
KA I TL I N M . MU RPHY
In Mapping Memory, Kaitlin M. Murphy investigates the use of memory as a means of contemporary
sociopolitical intervention. Mapping Memory focuses specifically on visual case studies, including
documentary film, photography, performance, new media, and physical places of memory, from
sites ranging from the Southern Cone to Central America and the U.S.–Mexican borderlands.
Murphy develops new frameworks for analyzing how visual culture performs as an embodied
agent of memory and witnessing, arguing that visuality is inherently performative. By analyzing
the performative elements, or strategies, of visual texts—such as embodiment, reenactment,
haunting, and the performance of material objects and places—Murphy elucidates how memory is
both anchored in and extracted from specific bodies, objects, and places. Drawing together diverse
theoretical strands, Murphy originates the theory of “memory mapping,” which tends to the ways
in which memory is strategically deployed in order to challenge official narratives that often neglect
208 pages or designate as transgressive certain memories or experiences. Ultimately, Murphy argues, memory

Novel Shocks
Urban Renewal and the Origins of Neoliberalism
M Y KA TUC K ER -ABRAMS ON
Throughout the 1950s, a coalition of developers, politicians, and planners bulldozed vast areas of
land deemed “slums” or “blighted” to make way for freeways, public and private housing projects,
cultural centers, and skyscrapers. While the program was national, New York was ground zero, and
the demolition and monumental reconstruction of the city created a distinctive urban sensorium,
rooted in the new segregated landscapes of prosperous white private space and poor black public
space.
Novel Shocks situates these landscapes at the center of the midcentury novel, arguing that James
Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, Patricia Highsmith, Ayn Rand, William Burroughs, Sylvia Plath, and Warren
Miller all registered these new urban spaces as traumatic “shocks” that required new aesthetic
forms. Rejecting older shock-based modernisms, these novelists forged a new modernism, which
reimagined shock as a therapeutic force that would create a more flexible, self-reliant, and resilient

“The Two Cultures of English takes a new look at the rise of theory in literary
studies. Despite myriad claims about breaking down boundaries, theory also
enforced some, generally taking the mantle of pure thought in contrast to the
practical work of composition. Maxwell focuses on how both met on the terrain
of rhetoric. It is one of the first studies that put the two together in a sustained
way, versed in both literary and composition scholarship. Reassessing the recent
past, The Two Cultures is an excellent addition to new histories of criticism and
theory.”

How to Be an Intellectual: Essays on Criticism, Culture, and the University
The Two Cultures of English examines the academic discipline of English in the final
decades of the twentieth century and the first years of the new millennium. During
this period, longstanding organizational patterns within the discipline were disrupted.
With the introduction of French theory into the American academy in the 1960s
and 1970s, both literary studies and composition studies experienced a significant
reorientation.
The introduction of theory into English studies not only intensified existing
tensions between those in literature and those in composition but also produced
commonalities among colleagues that had not previously existed. As a result, the
various fields within English began to share an increasing number of investments at
the same time that institutional conflicts between them became more intense than
ever before.
The Two Cultures

Through careful reconsiderations of some of the key figures who shaped and were
shaped by this new landscape—including Michel Foucault, Kenneth Burke, Paul de
Man, Fredric Jameson, James Berlin, Susan Miller, John Guillory, and Bruno Latour—
of English the book offers a more comprehensive map of the discipline than is usually understood
from the perspective of either literature or composition alone.
Possessing a clear view of the entire discipline is essential today as the
Literature, Composition, contemporary corporate university pushes English studies to abandon its liberal arts
tradition and embrace a more vocational curriculum. This book provides important
and the Moment of Rhetoric conceptual tools for responding to and resisting in this environment.

“The time has come to attend to Blanchot’s early literary and political journalism (his missteps
included), which, surprisingly, the first generation of his postwar admirers barely noted. It
reminds us that this major theoretician of literary modernity has never been associated with
academia: The newspaper was the site of his first critical exercise. Death Now provides a rich
overview of the French literary atmosphere during the fateful final period of the Occupation. It
is also unmistakably haunted by the ghost of a Blanchot to come.”

delight to read.”
— DI A N E RUB EN ST EI N , Cornell University
“This is a superb book, with rich readings of essential texts that offer a fresh start
to an urgent but often ignored question of justice. Without moralizing, Kamuf
takes a strong position against the death penalty, directly confronting the actual
legal, political, ethical, social, and philosophical questions it raises. In one blow,
she overhauls the debate and makes us look at what really matters in it. The book
will find a wide, hungry, and receptive audience across a range of fields and
disciplines.”
—T HO MAS K EEN A N , Bard College
Jacques Derrida has written that “the modern history of the institution named
literature in Europe over the last three or four centuries is contemporary with and
indissociable from a contestation of the death penalty.” How, Kamuf asks, does
literature contest the death penalty today, particularly in the United States, where
it remains the last of its kind in a nation that professes to be a democracy? What
resources do fiction, narrative, and poetic language supply in the age of the remains of
the death penalty?
Following a lucid account of Derrida’s approach to the death penalty, Kamuf
pursues these questions across literary texts by George Orwell, Robert Coover,
Norman Mailer, Franz Kafka, and Charles Baudelaire. The readings address a range of
Literature and
questions that haunt the death penalty: the “mysteries” of witness; secrecy and public
display; the undecidable relation of capital punishment and suicide; the sovereign
powers of death and of pardon; and ways performative literary language can “play the

seen as the ashes or remains of the phantasm that the death penalty has always been,
the phantasm of calculating and ending finitude.

Critical Rhythm
The Poetics of a Literary Life Form
B E N G L A SE R and JONAT H AN CU LLER, editors
“This volume, with incandescent and defamiliarizing rhythms of its own, takes up rhythm as
the central, ever-fugitive term in debates over sound and sense, the visible and the audible, the
history of prosodic discourses, and methodological approaches to reading and performance.”
— M AX C AV I TCH, University of Pennsylvania
Rhythm constitutes an untapped resource for understanding poetry, making legible a range of ways
poetry affects us that cannot be parsed through the traditional resources of poetic theory.
Rhythm has rich but also problematic roots in nineteenth-century notions of primitive, oral,
communal, and sometimes racialized poetics. But there are reasons to understand and even embrace
its seductions, including its resistance to lyrical voice and even identity. Pressing beyond poetry
handbooks’ isolated descriptions of technique, the book asks what it means to think rhythm.

“Saint Marks finds and forges material connections among things, images, and
words. In these connections, Goldberg persuades us, the biographical subject
exceeds his or her own life, living through matter. The book concerns Venice and
its patron saint—what it means to construct the identity of each and then identify
the one with the other, as well as the natural, historical, pictorial, and literary
forces that undo such constructions. With chapters titled ‘atmospherics,’ ‘gravity,’
‘stones,’ and ‘secrets,’ the book is a magisterial shift of the biographical and
historical into the geographical that will appeal to a broad readership across art
history and literary studies.”
—A MY K N I GHT P OWELL, University of California, Irvine
Saint Marks invokes and pluralizes the figure of Mark in order to explore relations
between painting and writing. Emphasizing that the saint is not a singular
biographical individual in the various biblical and hagiographic texts that involve
someone so named, the book takes as its ultimate concern the kinds of material life
that outlive the human subject.
From the incommensurate, anachronic instances in which Saint Mark can be
located—among them, as evangelist or as patron saint of Venice—the book traces
Mark’s afterlives within art, sacred texts, and literature in conversation with such
art historians and philosophers as Aby Warburg, Giorgio Agamben, Georges Didi-
Huberman, T. J. Clark, Adrian Stokes, and Jean-Luc Nancy. Goldberg begins in
Saint Marks
sixteenth-century Venice, with a series of paintings by Gentile and Giovanni Bellini,
Tintoretto, and others, that have virtually nothing to do with biblical texts. He turns
then to the legacy of John Ruskin’s Stones of Venice and through it to questions about
what painting does as painting. A final chapter turns to ancient texts, considering
Words, Images, and What Persists the Gospel of St. Mark together with its double, the so-called Secret Gospel that has

Systems of Life
Biopolitics, Economics, and Literature on the Cusp of Modernity
R I C H A R D A . BARNEY and WARREN MO NTAG, editors
Systems of Life offers a wide-ranging revaluation of the emergence of biopolitics in Europe from the
mid–eighteenth to the mid–nineteenth century. In staging an encounter among literature, political
economy, and the still emergent sciences of life in that historical moment, the essays collected here
reopen the question of how concepts of animal, vegetable, and human life, among other biological
registers, had an impact on the Enlightenment project of thinking politics and economics as a joint
enterprise. The volume’s contributors consider politics, economics, and the biological as distinct,
semi-autonomous spheres whose various combinations required inventive, sometimes incomplete,
acts of conceptual mediation, philosophical negotiation, disciplinary intervention, or aesthetic
representation.

A History of Commemorations and Representations
J. PATR I C K HORNBECK II
Remembering Wolsey seeks to contribute to our understanding of historical memory and

memorialization by examining in detail the commemoration and representation of the life of
Thomas Wolsey, the sixteenth-century cardinal, papal legate, and lord chancellor of England.
Hornbeck surveys a wide range of representations of Cardinal Wolsey, from those contemporary
with his death to recent mass-market appearances on television and historical fiction, to go beyond
previous scholarship that has examined Wolsey only in an early modern context.
Remembering Wolsey contributes significantly to the ongoing reimagining of English church
history in the years prior to the Reformation. Surveying chronicle accounts, pamphlets, plays,
poems, historical fictions, works of historical scholarship, civic pageants and monuments, films,
and television programs, the book shows how an extended sequence of authors have told widely
varying stories about Wolsey’s life, often through the lens of their own religious and ideological

Roman Catholicism in the United States: A Thematic History takes the reader beyond
the traditional ways scholars have viewed and recounted the story of the Catholic

rural Catholicism, Latino Catholics, and issues related to the establishment of
diplomatic relations between the Vatican and the U.S. government. The book
continues with fascinating discussions on popular culture (film and literature),
women religious, and the work of U.S. missionaries in other countries. The final
section of the books is devoted to Catholic social teaching, tackling challenging and
sometimes controversial subjects such as the relationship between African American
Catholics and the Communist Party, Catholics in the civil rights movement, the
abortion debate, issues of war and peace, and Vatican II and the American Catholic
Church.
Roman Catholicism in the United States examines the history of U.S. Catholicism
from a variety of perspectives that transcend the familiar account of the immigrant,
urban parish, which served as the focus for so many American Catholics during the
nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries.

Ecstasy in the Classroom

Trance, Self, and the Academic Profession in Medieval Paris
AY E L ET EVEN-EZ RA
Can ecstatic experiences be studied with the academic instruments of rational investigation? What
kinds of religious illumination are experienced by academically minded people? And what is the
specific nature of the knowledge of God that university theologians of the Middle Ages enjoyed
compared with other modes of knowing God, such as rapture, prophecy, the beatific vision, or simple
faith? Ecstasy in the Classroom explores the interface between academic theology and ecstatic
experience in the first half of the thirteenth century, formative years in the history of the University
of Paris, medieval Europe’s “fountain of knowledge.” It considers little-known texts by William of
Auxerre, Philip the Chancellor, William of Auvergne, Alexander of Hales, and other theologians of
this community, thus creating a group portrait of a scholarly discourse. It seeks to do three things.
The first is to map and analyze the scholastic discourse about rapture and other modes of cognition
in the first half of the thirteenth century. The second is to explicate the perception of the self that

Jews and the Ends of Theory

SH A I G I NSBURG, MART IN LAND and JONAT H AN B OYARIN, editors
“A powerful collection that opens new vistas in our approach to social, cultural, and literary
critical theories.”
— S E Y LA BEN HA B I B , Yale University
Theory has often been coded as “Jewish”—not merely because Jewish intellectuals have
been central participants, but also, this book argues, because certain problematics of modern
Jewishness enrich theoretical questions across the humanities. In the range of violence and
agency that can attend the appellation “Jew,” Jewishness is revealed as a rhetorical and not just
social fact, one tied to profound questions of power, subjectivity, identity, figuration, language, and
relation that are also central to modern theory and modern politics. Understanding Jewishness
in its fluidity, this book helps articulate theory’s potential to mediate pessimistic and utopian
impulses, experiences, and realities.

Anxiety, Suffering, Death
E M M A NU E L FALQ U E
translated by GEORGE HUGHES
“In this dramatic opening to his triptych on Christ’s passion, Emmanuel Falque
demonstrates—once again—his complete refusal to rest with easy answers. One can
hardly read this book without being deeply moved.”
— BR U C E E LLI S B EN SO N , author of Liturgy as a Way of Life
Already widely debated upon its publication in French, this book offers a provocative account of
Christ’s Passion in terms not of faith but of a “credible Christianity” that can remain meaningful to
nonbelievers.
For Falque, anxiety, suffering, and death are not simply the “ills” of our society but the essential
horizon of what we confront as humans. Doubtful of Heidegger’s famous statement that the notion
192 pages of salvation renders Christians unable authentically to experience anxiety in the face of death,
8 Illustrations, black and white Falque explores the Passion with a radical emphasis on the physicality and corporeality of Christ’s
