Kentucky Confederates: Secession, Civil War, and the Jackson Purchase
by Berry Craig&“This book will become the definitive work on the political, social, and military climate of the Purchase region during the Civil War.&” —Kentucky Libraries During the Civil War, the majority of Kentuckians supported the Union under the leadership of Henry Clay, but one part of the state presented a striking exception. The Jackson Purchase—bounded by the Mississippi River to the west, the Ohio River to the north, and the Tennessee River to the east—fought hard for separation and secession, and produced eight times more Confederates than Union soldiers. Supporting states&’ rights and slavery, these eight counties in the westernmost part of the commonwealth were so pro-Confederate that the Purchase was dubbed &“the South Carolina of Kentucky.&” The first dedicated study of this key region, Kentucky Confederates provides valuable insights into a misunderstood and understudied part of Civil War history. Author Berry Craig draws from an impressive array of primary documents, including newspapers, letters, and diaries, to reveal the regional and national impact this unique territory had on the nation&’s greatest conflict. Offering an important new perspective on this rebellious borderland and its failed bid for secession, Kentucky Confederates will serve as the standard text on the subject for years to come. &“A masterpiece. Long overdue, it chronicles the history of a region of Kentucky that has received little or no attention by historians heretofore. It is my considered opinion Craig&’s book will be the definitive work on his subject for many years.&” —Kent Masterson Brown, author of Meade at Gettysburg
After Before
by Jemma WayneThree women, beset by trauma, temptation, and regret, find each other in this &“rich, haunted, gripping&” novel (Ruth Padel, award-winning author of Beethoven Variations).That was the day that Mama made the rules: If they come, run. Be quiet and run. But not together. Never together. If one is found, at least the other survives… During a cold British winter, three women, each suffering her own demons, reach a crisis point. Emily, an immigrant survivor of the Rwandan genocide, is existing but not living. Vera, a newly Christian Londoner, is striving to live a moral life, her happiness constantly undermined by secrets from her past. Lynn, battling with an untimely disease, is consumed by bitterness and resentment of what she hasn&’t achieved and what has been snatched from her. Their lives have been torn open by betrayal: by other people, by themselves, by life itself. But as their paths interweave, they begin to unravel their beleaguered pasts, and inadvertently change each other&’s futures. Longlisted for the Baileys Women&’s Prize for Fiction
Black Music (Akashi Classics: Renegade Reprint Series)
by LeRoi JonesThe essential collection of jazz writing by the celebrated poet and author of Blues People—reissued with a new introduction by the author.

Combining firsthand immediacy with wide-ranging erudition, Black Music articulates the complexities of modern jazz while also sharing insights on the nature of jazz criticism, the creative process, and the development of a new way forward for black artists. This rich and vital collection is comprised of essays, reviews, interviews, liner notes, musical analyses, and personal impressions from 1959–1967. &“In Black Music, Baraka wrote with ecstasy—highly informed and intricate—about ecstatically complex music.&”—Richard Brody, The New Yorker
The Gift: Poems Inspired by Hafiz, the Great Sufi Master (Compass)
by Daniel LadinskyDaniel Ladinsky&’s 250 unforgettable lyrical poems are inspired by the cherished verse of Hafiz, one of the greatest Sufi poets of all time. More than any other Persian poet, Hafiz expanded the mystical, healing dimensions of poetry. Because his poems were often ecstatic love songs from God to his beloved world, many have called Hafiz the &“Invisible Tongue.&” Daniel Ladinsky&’s poems are not translations in a literal sense. Rather than capture the form of a particular classical work, Ladinsky crafts poems that release the spirit of Hafiz based on his study of stories and poems attributed to the revered Persian writer. The Gift imparts the wonderful qualities of this master Sufi poet and spiritual teacher: encouragement, an audacious love that touches lives, profound knowledge, generosity, and a sweet, playful genius unparalleled in world literature.

The Lotus Shoes: A Novel
by Jane Yang"[E]xpert plotting and nuanced historical details result in an exceptional story that enchants from the first page to the last.&” —Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review"Brilliantly written, masterful storytelling, and hard to put down. This story will stay with me for a very, very long time." —Heather Morris, #1 bestselling author of The Tattooist of AuschwitzAn empowering, uplifting tale of two women from opposite sides of society, and their extraordinary journey of sisterhood, betrayal, love and triumph.1800s China.

And if Linjing finds out, will she sabotage Little Flower to reclaim her power, or will she protect her?
Changing Minds: Social Movements’ Cultural Impacts
by Edwin Amenta Francesca PollettaSocial movements—organized efforts by relatively powerless people to change society—can result in legal and policy changes, such as laws protecting same-sex marriage and tax rebates for solar energy. However, movements also change people’s beliefs, values, and everyday behavior. Such changes may help bring about new policies or take place in the absence of new policy, yet we still know little about when and why they occur. In Changing Minds, sociologists Francesca Polletta and Edwin Amenta ask why movements have sometimes had fast and far-reaching cultural influence. Polletta and Amenta examine the trajectories of U.S. social movements, including the old-age pension movements of the 1930s and 1940s, the Black rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, the women’s movement of the 1970s, right-wing movements in the 1980s and 1990s, and the environmental movement up to the present, to determine when, why, and how social movements change culture. They find that influential movements are featured in the news, but not only in the news. Movement perspectives may appear also in opinion and commentary outlets, on television talk shows and dramas, in movies, stand-up comedy, and viral memes. Popular culture producers remake movement messages as they transmit them, sometimes in ways that make those messages compelling. For example, while the news largely ignored feminists’ challenge to inequality in the home, popular cultural outlets turned “liberation” into a resonant demand for women’s right to self-fulfillment outside the home and within it. Widespread attention to the movement may lead people to change their minds individually. But more substantial change is likely when companies, schools, and other organizations outside government strive to get out in front of a newly legitimate issue, whether environmental sustainability or racial equity, by adopting movement-supportive norms and practices. Eventually, ideas associated with a movement may become a new common sense—though not always the ideas that the movement intended. Throughout Changing Minds, Polletta and Amenta provide activists with strategies for getting their message heard and acted on. They suggest how movement actors can get into the news as political players or experts rather than lawbreakers or zealots. They show when it makes sense for activists to work with popular cultural producers and when they should create their own cultural outlets. They explain why the routes to cultural influence have changed and why urging people to take one easy step to save the planet can do more harm than good. Changing Minds is a fascinating exploration of why and how some social movements have caused profound shifts in society.

Entropy Economics: The Living Basis of Value and Production
by James K. Galbraith Jing ChenEconomists dream of equilibrium. It’s time to wake up. In mainstream economics, markets are ideal if competition is perfect. When supply balances demand, economic maturity is orderly and disturbed only by shocks. These ideas are rooted in doctrines going back thousands of years yet, as James K. Galbraith and Jing Chen show, they contradict the foundations of our scientific understanding of the physical and biological worlds. Entropy Economics discards the conventions of equilibrium and presents a new basis for thinking about economic issues, one rooted in life processes—an unequal world of unceasing change in which boundaries, plans, and regulations are essential. Galbraith and Chen’s theory of value is based on scarcity, and it accounts for the power of monopoly. Their theory of production covers increasing and decreasing returns, uncertainty, fixed investments over time, and the impact of rising resource costs. Together, their models illuminate key problems such as trade, finance, energy, climate, conflict, and demography. Entropy Economics is a thrilling framework for understanding the world as it is and will be keenly relevant to the economic challenges of a world threatened with disorder.

Revisioning Emerson as a Theorist of Reading (American Literature Readings in the 21st Century)
by Michael BoatrightPushing beyond the anthologized writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson frequently taught in American literature courses, this book examines the corpus of his published work to cultivate a unique understanding of his ideas in relation to reading. By following the history of Emersonian criticism over the years, including research surrounding Emerson and reading theory, these chapters provide a persuasive and accessible exploration of Emerson that highlight the value of his work for both literary and reading scholars. Boatright argues that while Emerson predates the research in reading studies that emerged in the early twentieth century, his ideas around reading engagement, shared reading experiences, and experimentation with reading are exceedingly relevant for encouraging healthy reading practices in the literature classroom.

Women Accused of Sexual Harassment
by Leslie MargolinThis book examines whether sexual harassment allegations against women in colleges and universities are different from harassment allegations against men and whether they are judged differently, more harshly and restrictively. Do women accused of sexual harassment receive less social support and more condemnation than men accused of sexual harassment? Do women receive the same due process, the same penalties, the same chances for redemption? Through thematic and narrative analysis of publicly available sexual harassment records and archival sources, as well as college and university newspapers, social media posts, blogs, and videos, chapters demonstrate how sexual harassment allegations, when directed against women, represent another form of gender discrimination and a different way of impugning (sexually harassing) women. This book is relevant to scholars and students in gender and sexuality studies, feminist theory, criminal justice, and legal studies.
The Formation of Japan-ROK Security Relations: Meeting the Evolving Cold War Challenge
by Kyungwon ChoiThis open access book argues that Japan-ROK security relations were formed in the process of adjusting the threat perception gap and policy conflict between the two countries. Conventional analyses using a “cooperation or conflict” dichotomy are too limited to capture the complex coordination of interests that security relations entail. In comparison, this book focuses on how, as they interacted on security concerns, Japan and the ROK had different threat perceptions and foreign policy orientations that resulted in friction over the means and methods of responses and shines a light on the changes apparent in the adjustment process. The author aims to elucidate how Japan and the ROK approached security cooperation over the period from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s. As Japan and the ROK looked to reconcile the differing political positions involved in these security and détente requirements, they explored and began to show new developments in bilateral security cooperation. This book provides a new perspective on Japan-ROK security relations and through this lens a broader view of international relations in East Asia. It also proves useful in understanding bilateral cooperation in the security field following the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Gegenläufigkeiten / Contrarieties: Subversives Übersetzen in der Frühen Neuzeit / Subversive Translation in the Early Modern Period (Übersetzungskulturen der Frühen Neuzeit #4)
by Regina Toepfer Peter Burschel Jörg WescheTranslation und Subversion: Wie hängt beides zusammen? Das ist die Leitfrage dieses Sammelbands, der methodische Orientierungen und historische Studien zur Frühen Neuzeit in unterschiedlichen geographischen Settings und interlingualen Konstellationen vom 16. bis zum 18. Jahrhundert bietet. Translationswissenschaft, Romanistik, Japanologie, Germanistik und Musikwissenschaft sind die Disziplinen, die der Band zusammenbringt, um die besonders für frühneuzeitliche Übersetzungskulturen wenig gesehenen Gegenläufigkeiten in den Blick zu nehmen und auf subversive Übersetzung als Katalysator interkultureller Widerständigkeit, aber auch Unterwanderung scharfzustellen. Translation and subversion: how are the two related? That is the question pursued by this compilation of methodological orientations and historical studies on the Early Modern period in various geographical settings and interlingual constellations from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Bringing together a broad range of disciplines – translation studies, Romance studies, Japanology, German studies, and musicology – the volume takes a closer look at contrarieties hitherto little noticed, especially with regard to Early Modern translation cultures. In the process it focuses on subversive translation as a catalyst for intercultural resistivity as well as subversive action. Dies ist ein Open Access-Buch / This is an open access book.
