Winslow Homer’s Civil War
PETER H. WOOD
“In Near Andersonville, Wood tells the captivat-
ing story of an abandoned painting with the
meticulousness of a historian and the panache of
a novelist. More than just an enigmatic painting,
Near Andersonville is a testament to the passions
of white abolitionists, and the halting confusion
of the freed slaves they cared for. This short
book is a quick, learned, and touching read.”

“The intersection of race and sports is one of the most dangerous in American
culture…A Level Playing Field: African American Athletes and the Republic of

—ROBERT LIPSYTE, NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
“[A] powerful book…Early illuminates in great detail the inner collisions of
African-American athletes as they find their way in the (mostly white) public

to be an African-American athlete today…A Level Playing Field makes an excellent
template from which to work when we want to look beyond the platitudes that
mark the dialogue about race and sport. But it also reminds us how far we’ve come.”

“In this sweeping and absorbing history of black activism, Tuck highlights the achievements of com-
munity organizing from the mid-19th century to Barack Obama’s dexterous grassroots campaign for
the presidency…With rich detail and a strong narrative, Tuck fills in gaps in the story, from the lesser
known backroom dealings of Booker T. Washington to the noble efforts on behalf of black women by
Anna Julia Cooper.”

“We Ain’t What We Ought To Be is a collection of voices that document our struggle for equality in

T HE U NINTENDED R EFORMATION
How a Religious Revolution Secularized Society
BRAD S. GREGORY
Brad S. Gregory identifies the unintended consequences of the Reformation for
the modern condition: a hyperpluralism of beliefs, intellectual disagreements that
splinter into fractals of specialized discourse, the absence of a substantive common
good, and the triumph of capitalism’s driver, consumerism.
“A work of deep moral seriousness…The Unintended Reformation is simply
the most intelligent treatment of the subject by a contemporary author.”
—THOMAS A. BRADY, JR., AUTHOR OF
GERMAN HISTORIES IN THE AGE OF REFORMATIONS, 1400–1650
“[Gregory] approaches the continuing impact of the Reformation in what he
terms a ‘genealogical’ approach—one that sees the Reformation as the root of a
tree whose branches reach into every aspect of modern life…[A] rewarding look
at the long reach of history, and how we are the poorer for ignoring it.”

T HE A NOINTED
Evangelical Truth in a Secular Age
RANDALL J. STEPHENS AND KARL W. GIBERSON
Why do so many evangelicals follow leaders with dubious credentials when they have other options in
their own faith? Exploring intellectual authority within evangelicalism, the authors reveal how the con-
cept of anointing—being chosen by God to speak for him—established a conservative evangelical lead-
ership isolated from secular arts and sciences.
“The Anointed is one of the best and most important books on religion published this year. It is a
well-written, well-argued study that penetrates to the heart of modern evangelical culture…Evangeli-
cals who take the intellect seriously, as well as outsiders struggling to understand the evangelical sub-
culture, will benefit from their hard work and keen insights.”
—MATTHEW AVERY SUTTON, CHRISTIAN CENTURY
“[Stephens and Giberson] rise triumphantly to the challenge of explaining the leaders and the culture
of the religious Right without rancor or condescension.”

T HE M AUTHAUSEN T RIAL
American Military Justice in Germany
TOMAZ JARDIM
The Nuremberg trials are regarded as models of postwar justice, but the Maut-
hausen trial was the norm and reveals the troubling face of American military
proceedings. This rough justice, with its lax rules of evidence and questionable in-
terrogations, compromised legal standards in order to guarantee that guilty people
did not walk free.
“This book will take its place as the standard work on the Mauthausen trial in
English…[Jardim] makes a convincing case for the continuing relevance of this
largely overlooked trial, a point well taken now that military commissions are
back in vogue.”
—LAWRENCE R. DOUGLAS, AUTHOR OF THE MEMORY OF JUDGMENT
“Demonstrating how unprepared the American military was to conduct war
crimes trials, Jardim reveals for the first time how questionable many of the
army’s prosecutorial practices were. This valuable book offers not only signifi-
cant insights into the way American military justice functioned after World
War II, but also warns of the challenges military commissions face in the present.”

F RAMING M USLIMS
Stereotyping and Representation after 9/11
PETER MOREY AND AMINA YAQIN
In Framing Muslims: Stereotyping and Representation after 9/11, Peter Morey and Amina Yaqin dissect
how stereotypes that depict Muslims as an inherently problematic presence in the West are constructed,
deployed, and circulated in the public imagination, producing an immense gulf between representation
and a considerably more complex reality.
“Framing Muslims is an enlightening book. It is sure to make us more critical of the power and influ-
ence of media in shaping our views on Muslims and Islam. Peter Morey and Amina Yaqin deserve ap-
plause for their worthy effort.”
—JOSEPH RICHARD PREVILLE, SAUDI GAZETTE
“Groundbreaking…Drawing on their diverse backgrounds in English and Urdu literary and cultural
studies, Morey and Yaqin examine…[how] veils, beards, men at prayer, and minarets stand in for
Muslims in all their heterogeneity and complexity…[An] illuminating work.”

P RISON B LOSSOMS
Anarchist Voices from the American Past
ALEXANDER BERKMAN, HENRY BAUER, AND CARL NOLD
Edited by Miriam Brody and Bonnie Buettner
Published here for the first time is a crucial document in the history of American
radicalism—the “Prison Blossoms,” a series of essays, narratives, poems, and fables
composed by three activist anarchists imprisoned for the 1892 assault on anti-
union steel tycoon Henry Clay Frick.
“Prison Blossoms are a distant cousin of Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks. This book
reminds us how much we learn about the self-absorbed center of society from
those who are caged in at its margin. A gem of a book.”
—MARY FAINSOD KATZENSTEIN, AUTHOR OF FAITHFUL AND FEARLESS
“At long last, these passionate and perceptive anarchists can be heard! Magnificently edited and
masterfully translated, Prison Blossoms should command the attention of anyone interested in the
delivery, denial or deferral of justice in the United States.”
