Crooked Paths to Allotment - C. Joseph Genetin Pilawa - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

Crooked Paths to Allotment - C. Joseph Genetin Pilawa - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

Standard narratives of Native American history view the nineteenth century in terms of steadily declining Indigenous sovereignty, from removal of southeastern tribes to the 1887 General Allotment Act. In Crooked Paths to Allotment, C. Joseph Genetin-Pilawa complicates these narratives, focusing on political moments when viable alternatives to federal assimilation policies arose.

The World of Ovid's Metamorphoses - Joseph B. Solodow - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

The World of Ovid's Metamorphoses - Joseph B. Solodow - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

Synthesizing a wealth of detailed observations, Joseph Solodow studies the structure of Ovid's poem Metamorphoses , the role of the narrator, Ovid's treatment of myth, and the relationship between Ovid's and Virgil's presentations of Aeneas. He argues that for Ovid metamorphosis is an act of clarification, a form of artistic creation, and that the metamorphosed creatures in his poem are comparable to works of art. These figures ultimately aid us in perceiving and understanding the world. |In this fascinating history of alcohol in postwar American culture, Lori Rotskoff draws on short stories, advertisements, medical writings, and Hollywood films to investigate how gender norms and ideologies of marriage intersected with scientific and popu

Sensational Modernism - Joseph B. Entin - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

Sensational Modernism - Joseph B. Entin - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

Challenging the conventional wisdom that the 1930s were dominated by literary and photographic realism, Sensational Modernism uncovers a rich vein of experimental work by politically progressive artists. Examining images by photographers such as Weegee and Aaron Siskind and fiction by writers such as William Carlos Williams, Richard Wright, Tillie Olsen, and Pietro di Donato, Joseph Entin argues that these artists drew attention to the country''s most vulnerable residents by using what he calls an "aesthetic of astonishment," focused on startling, graphic images of pain, injury, and prejudice. Traditional portrayals of the poor depicted stoic, passive figures of sentimental suffering or degraded but potentially threatening figures in need of supervision. Sensational modernists sought to shock middle-class audiences into new ways of seeing the nation''s impoverished and outcast populations. The striking images these artists created, often taking the form of contorted or disfigured bodies drawn from the realm of the tabloids, pulp magazines, and cinema, represented a bold, experimental form of social aesthetics. Entin argues that these artists created a willfully unorthodox brand of vernacular modernism in which formal avant-garde innovations were used to delineate the conditions, contradictions, and pressures of life on the nation''s fringes.

From Slavery to Agrarian Capitalism in the Cotton Plantation South - Joseph P. Reidy - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

From Slavery to Agrarian Capitalism in the Cotton Plantation South - Joseph P. Reidy - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

Reidy has produced one of the most thoughtful treatments to date of a critical moment in southern history, placing the social transformation of the South in the context of ''the age of capital'' and the changes in the markets, ideologies, etc. of the Atlantic world system. Better than anyone perhaps, Reidy has elaborated both the large and small narratives of this development, connecting global forces with the initiatives and reactions of ordinary southerners, black and white.--Thomas C. Holt, University of Chicago "Joseph Reidy''s detailed analysis of social and economic developments in central Georgia during and after slavery will take its place among the standard works on these subjects. Its discussions of the expansion of the cotton kingdom and of the changes after emancipation make it necessary reading for all concerned with southern and African-American history.--Stanley Engerman, University of Rochester "Successfully places the experience of one region''s people into the larger theoretical context of world capitalist development and in the process challenges other scholars to do the same.-- Rural Sociology
