Harlan''s mastery of biography is revealed in essays printed here exploring the nature of biographical writing. Readers interested in the art of historiography and biography will find here Harlan''s essays detailing his experience in crafting his acclaimed biography of Washington, which received two Bancroft Awards, the Beveridge Award, and the Pulitzer Prize.

Conversations with William T. Vollmann - - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Conversations with William T. Vollmann - - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Across fiction, journalism, ethnography, and history, William T. Vollmann's oeuvre--which includes a "prostitution trilogy," a septology (Seven Dreams) about encounters between first North Americans and European colonists, and a more than three-thousand-page philosophical treatise on violence--is ambitious as it is dazzling. Conversations with William T. Vollmann collects twenty-nine interviews, from early press coverage in Britain where his career first took flight, to in-depth visits to his writing and art studio in Sacramento, California. Throughout these conversations, Vollmann (b. 1959) speaks with candor and wit on such subjects as grief and guilt in his work, his love of guns and his experience of war, the responsibilities of the artist as witness, the benefits of looking out into the world beyond the confines of one's horizon, the limitations of what literature can achieve, and how we can speak to the future. Bringing to the fore several expanded, unpublished, and hard-to-find interviews, this volume offers a valuable set of perspectives on a uniquely rewarding and sometimes overwhelming writer. On the road promoting his books or in a domestic setting, Vollmann comes across as reflective and humane, humble in his craft despite deep dedication to his uncompromising vision, and ever armed with a spirit of mischief and capacity to shock and unsettle the reader.

The Souls of White Folk - Veronica T. Watson - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

The Souls of White Folk - Veronica T. Watson - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

The first book to examine whiteness as an intellectual tradition within African American literatureThe Souls of White Folk: African American Writers Theorize Whiteness is the first study to consider the substantial body of African American writing that critiques whiteness as social construction and racial identity. Arguing against the prevailing approach to these texts that says African American writers retreated from issues of "race" when they wrote about whiteness, Veronica T. Watson instead identifies this body of literature as an African American intellectual and literary tradition that she names "the literature of white estrangement."In chapters that theorize white double consciousness (W. E. B. Du Bois and Charles Chesnutt), white womanhood and class identity (Zora Neale Hurston and Frank Yerby), and the socio-spatial subjectivity of southern whites during the civil rights era (Melba Patillo Beals), Watson explores the historically situated theories and analyses of whiteness provided by the literature of white estrangement from the late nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries. She argues that these texts are best understood as part of a multipronged approach by African American writers to challenge and dismantle white supremacy in the United States and demonstrates that these texts have an important place in the growing field of critical whiteness studies.Veronica T. Watson, Indiana, Pennsylvania, is an associate professor of English at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. She is also the director of the Frederick Douglass Institute for Intercultural Research. Her essays have been published in Mississippi Quarterly and the Journal of Ethnic American Literature, among others.

Civil Rights Chronicle - Clarice T. Campbell - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Anyone who says nothing has changed must have forgotten or never have known the daily indignities, not to mention the powerless position, of African Americans in the South before the 1960s. A white California teacher named Clarice T. Campbell wrote detailed letters to family and friends about her “small adventures” while studying at the universities of Alabama and Mississippi and teaching at black Mississippi and South Carolina colleges. She was a keen eyewitness during troubled times. her letters reveal a time and a place as well as her observant, feeling nature. Motivated to educate or remind, Campbell has collected and edited these amazing letters. They tell of racial injustice she encountered, whether shopping, having her car repaired, or dining in cafes and restaurants. Everywhere, she recognized matters that she deemed “wrong.” But only she and a few others dared to speak out. With her clear insight into a closed society being broken open, these collective letters to the world

Mississippi Fiddle Tunes and Songs from the 1930s - Stephen T. Austin - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Mississippi Fiddle Tunes and Songs from the 1930s - Stephen T. Austin - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

A rediscovered treasury of old-time fiddle music with over 300 musical annotationsWhile in the Mississippi State Archives tracking down Abbot Ferris''s beautiful photographic portraits of musicians from 1939, author Harry Bolick discovered, to his amazement, a treasure trove of earlier fiddle tunes in manuscript form. Since then he has worked to understand how this collection came to exist and be set aside. With Stephen T. Austin, Bolick has transcribed the subsequent 1939 audio recordings. Mississippi Fiddle Tunes and Songs from the 1930s presents the history of the collecting work, with over three hundred of the tunes and songs and a beautiful selection of period photographs.In the summer of 1936, over one hundred fiddle tunes, many of them unique, along with thousands of songs, were collected and notated throughout a large part of Mississippi. Roughly 130 novice field workers captured beautiful tunes and tantalizing fragments. As a body of work, it is an unparalleled and fascinating snapshot of vernacular music as heard in Mississippi in the early part of the recorded era. However, this music was unpublished and forgotten. In 1939, building on the contacts made three years earlier, Herbert Halpert led one of the last and best executed of the WPA folklore projects which recorded audio performances in Mississippi. Some, but not all, of those distinctive fiddle tune recordings have been published. Additionally through cassette tape copies passed hand to hand, some of these distinctive tunes have regained currency and popularity among contemporary fiddlers. In Mississippi Fiddle Tunes and Songs from the 1930s, this great music is at last widely available.Harry Bolick, Hopewell Junction, New York, has been learning, playing, recording, and teaching fiddle tunes from his home state of Mississippi for the last thirty years. Stephen T. Austin, Cape Elizabeth, Maine, is a fiddler and traditional music performer who grew up in the Chicago area.

Table Lands - Scott T. Pollard - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Food is a signifier of power for both adults and children, a sign of both inclusion and exclusion and of conformity and resistance. Many academic disciplines--from sociology to literary studies--have studied food and its function as a complex social discourse, and the wide variety of approaches to the topic provides multidisciplinary frames for understanding the construction and uses of food in all types of media, including children's literature. Table Lands: Food in Children's Literature is a survey of food's function in children's texts, showing how the sociocultural contexts of food reveal children's agency. Authors Kara K. Keeling and Scott T. Pollard examine texts that vary from historical to contemporary, noncanonical to classics, and Anglo-American to multicultural traditions, including a variety of genres, formats, and audiences: realism, fantasy, cookbooks, picture books, chapter books, YA novels, and film. Table Lands offers a unified approach to studying food in a wide variety of texts for children. Spanning nearly 150 years of children's literature, Keeling and Pollard's analysis covers a selection of texts that show the omnipresence of food in children's literature and culture and how they vary in representations of race, region, and class, due to the impact of these issues on food. Furthermore, they include not only classic children's books, such as Winnie-the-Pooh, but recent award-winning multicultural novels as well as cookbooks and even one film, Pixar's Ratatouille.

Remembering Dixie - Susan T. Falck - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Remembering Dixie - Susan T. Falck - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Nearly seventy years after the Civil War, Natchez, Mississippi, sold itself to Depression-era tourists as a place "Where the Old South Still Lives." Tourists flocked to view the town's decaying antebellum mansions, hoopskirted hostesses, and a pageant saturated in sentimental Lost Cause imagery. In Remembering Dixie: The Battle to Control Historical Memory in Natchez, Mississippi, 1865-1941, Susan T. Falck analyzes how the highly biased, white historical memories of what had been a wealthy southern hub originated from the experiences and hardships of the Civil War. These collective narratives eventually culminated in a heritage tourism enterprise still in business today. Additionally, the book includes new research on the African American community's robust efforts to build historical tradition, most notably, the ways in which African Americans in Natchez worked to create a distinctive postemancipation identity that challenged the dominant white structure. Using a wide range of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century sources--many of which have never been fully mined before--Falck reveals the ways in which black and white Natchezians of all classes, male and female, embraced, reinterpreted, and contested Lost Cause ideology. These memory-making struggles resulted in emotional, internecine conflicts that shaped the cultural character of the community and impacted the national understanding of the Old South and the Confederacy as popular culture. Natchez remains relevant today as a microcosm for our nation's modern-day struggles with Lost Cause ideology, Confederate monuments, racism, and white supremacy. Falck reveals how this remarkable story played out in one important southern community over several generations in vivid detail and richly illustrated analysis.

The Souls of White Folk - Veronica T. Watson - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

"This remarkable book not only offers an apt reminder of the extensive African American tradition of writing and theorizing about whiteness but also constitutes an arresting addition to that tradition. Ranging across a century of time and a variety of genres, Watson writes with texture, precision, and theoretical sophistication. She shows how African American thinkers made themselves experts on the ways whites apprehended and occupied the troubled realms in which they ruled." -David Roediger, coauthor of The Production of Difference "Veronica Watson offers a brilliant analysis of African American engagement with whiteness in U.S. literature. In this historical journey examining the works of Chesnutt, Du Bois, Yerby, Hurston, and Beals, Watson reveals whiteness to be a labyrinth of insecurity, twisted intimacies, and terror. Resisting the tendency to narrow race studies to the focus on the ''black problem,'' Watson provides a searing examination of whiteness as a traumatized identity, a reality that makes even more remarkable a black willingness to understand, and in some instances, try to save white people from their own suffocation. The Souls of White Folk is a crucial contribution to critical whiteness studies and a beacon for understanding white estrangement from its own humanity." -Becky Thompson, author of A Promise and a Way of Life: White Antiracist ActivismVeronica T. Watson is an associate professor of English at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. She is also the director of the Frederick Douglass Institute for Intercultural Research. Her essays have been published in Mississippi Quarterly and the Journal of Ethnic American Literature, among others.

Borrowed Land, Stolen Labor, and the Holy Spirit - Diane T. Feldman - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Borrowed Land, Stolen Labor, and the Holy Spirit - Diane T. Feldman - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Borrowed Land, Stolen Labor, and the Holy Spirit: The Struggle for Power and Equality in Holmes County, Mississippi chronicles the profound history of a low-income county that became a pivotal site for Delta organizing during the civil rights movement. Landowning African American farmers, who enjoyed more economic independence than sharecroppers, emerged as the grassroots leaders of the movement. The volume begins with the county’s Native American heritage, moving through the periods of removal, land sales to speculators, the rapid increase of enslaved labor in the nineteenth century, and early African American political engagement during Reconstruction. Author Diane T. Feldman explores how African Americans fostered cooperative landownership efforts in the 1880s and 1920s, alongside the development of schools and churches, particularly the Church of God in Christ, a denomination founded in Holmes County. The fight for voting rights started with African American farmers in the 1950s and gained momentum with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in the 1960s. Their struggle to desegregate schools culminated in the landmark Supreme Court case Alexander v. Holmes, which abolished dual school systems in the South. The final chapters cover the past sixty years and current initiatives to restore food production in the Mississippi Delta. Enriched with recent and historic photographs, this volume serves as a microhistory of a single county, illuminating broader themes prevalent throughout Mississippi and the rural South.

Joe T. Patterson and the White South's Dilemma - Robert E. Luckett - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Joe T. Patterson and the White South's Dilemma - Robert E. Luckett - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

As Mississippi''s Attorney General from 1956 to 1969, Joe T. Patterson led the legal defense for Jim Crow in the state. He was inaugurated for his first term two months before the launching of the Sovereignty Commission, whose purpose-"to protect the sovereignty of Mississippi from encroachment thereon by the federal government"-rehashed a century-old states'' rights mantra couched in the rhetoric of massive resistance. Despite the dubious legal foundations of that cause, Patterson supported the organization''s mission from the start and served as an ex-officio leader on its board for the rest of his life.In addition to his leadership in the Sovereignty Commission, Patterson was a card carrying member of the segregationist watchdog group, the Citizens'' Council, and, in his own words, had "spent many hours and driven many miles advocating the basic principles for which the Citizens'' Councils were originally organized." Few ever doubted his Jim Crow credentials. That is, until September 1962 and the integration of the University of Mississippi by James Meredith.That fall, Patterson stepped out of his historical mold when he defied a circle of white power brokers, where he had been entrenched, and he did so at the height of the biggest crisis for Mississippi''s racist order. Even after the Supreme Court decreed that Meredith must enter the university, Patterson opposed the school''s desegregation and the federal intervention he saw at Ole Miss. But, he faced a dilemma that confronted all white southerners: how to maintain an artificially elevated position in southern society without resorting to violence or intimidation. Once the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Meredith v. Fair, the State Attorney General looked to temper the impact of the ruling without joining the mob.

Whitewashing America - Bridget T. Heneghan - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Whitewashing America - Bridget T. Heneghan - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Even before mass marketing, American consumers bought products that gentrified their households and broadcast their sense of “the good things in life.” Bridging literary scholarship, archeology, history, and art history, Whitewashing America: Material Culture and Race in the Antebellum Imagination explores how material goods shaped antebellum notions of race, class, gender, and purity. From the Revolutionary Way until the Civil War, American consumers increasingly sought white-colored goods. Whites preferred mass-produced and specialized products, avoiding the former dark, course, low-quality products issued to slaves. White consumers surrounded themselves with refined domestic items, visual reminders of who they were, equating wealth, discipline, and purity with the racially “white.” Clothing, paint, dinnerware, gravestones and buildings staked a visual contrast, a portable, visible title and deed segregating upper-class whites from their lower-class neighbors and househo
