The sea was rough, the islands craggy and unwelcoming, and enemy number one was always the savage wind, fog, and rain of the Aleutian chain. The fog seemed to reach even into the minds of the military commanders on both sides, as they directed men into situations that often had tragic results. Frustrating, befuddling, and still the subject of debate, the Aleutian campaign nevertheless marked an important turn of the war in favor of the United States. 6 x 9, 478 pages, b&w photos, map, bibliography, addendum, index Paper $29.95 / ISBN 978-0-912006-82-6 With a Dauntless Spirit: Alaska Nursing in Dog-Team Days Effie Graham, Jackie Pflaum, and Elfrida Nord This collection was selected by Alaska nurse educators and historians, who provide background and commentary, a brief biography of each person, and historical photos and maps of the nurses’ lives and work.

In Chomsky’s hands, global labor history becomes a compelling tool for understanding and challenging the social inequalities that capitalism creates and depends on. The result is not only a wonderfully rich and detailed look at particular places and times, but a path-breaking study that forces us to rethink how we understand the Americas as a whole. Students, scholars, labor leaders, and activists should all read this magnificent book.”—Steve Striffler, author of In the Shadows of State and Capital: The United Fruit Company, Popular Struggle, and Agrarian Restructuring in Ecuador, 1900–1995 Exploring globalization from a labor history perspective, Aviva Chomsky provides historically grounded analyses of migration, labor-management collaboration, and the mobility of capital. She illuminates these dynamics through case studies set mostly in New England and Colombia. Taken together, the case studies offer an intricate portrait of two regions, their industries, their workers, and the myriad links between them over the long twentieth century, as well as a new way to conceptualize globalization as a long-term process. Chomsky examines labor and management at two early-twentieth-century Massachusetts factories: one that transformed the global textile industry by exporting looms around the world, and another that was the site of a model program of labor-management collaboration in the 1920s. She follows the path of the textile industry from New England, first to the U.S. South, and then to Puerto Rico, Japan, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, and Colombia. She considers how towns in Rhode Island and Massachusetts began to import Colombian workers as they struggled to keep their last textile factories going. Most of the workers eventually landed in service jobs: cleaning houses, caring for elders, washing dishes. Focusing on Colombia between the 1960s and the present, Chomsky looks at the Urabá banana export region, where violence against organized labor has been particularly acute, and she explores the thorny question of U.S. union involvement in foreign policy through a discussion of the AFL-CIO’s activities in Colombia. In the 1980s, two U.S. coal mining companies began to shift their operations to Colombia, where they opened two of the largest open-pit coal mines in the world. Chomsky assesses how different groups, especially labor unions in both countries, were affected. Linked Labor Histories suggests that economic integration among regions often exacerbates regional inequalities rather than ameliorating them. Aviva Chomsky is Professor of History and Coordinator of Latin American Studies at Salem State College in Salem, Massachusetts. She is the author of “They Take Our Jobs!”: And 20 Other Myths about Immigration and West Indian Workers and the United Fruit Company in Costa Rica, 1870–1940; editor of The People behind Colombian Coal; and a coeditor of The Cuba Reader and Identity and Struggle at the Margins of the Nation-State, both also published by Duke University Press.

At the end of the nineteenth century, the complicated relations between the two shaped political struggles that have influenced American politics ever since. The fate of Populism and the Knights of Labor is thus important not just for understanding the ‘Gilded Age’ but for understanding American society in general. Joseph Gerteis brings new insights to these crucial cases, especially about how local structural conditions shaped participation in broader movements, and about the interracial organizing that took place despite animosities and manipulations. His book deserves to be widely read.”—Craig Calhoun, University Professor of the Social Sciences, New York University “The first serious review in years of the great latenineteenth-century social movements. Combining a theoretical overview with selected case studies, Joseph Gerteis convincingly demonstrates how the race, class, and republican identities of the actors were shaped by the shifting strategic possibilities of the moment.”—Leon Fink, editor of the journal Labor: Studies in WorkingClass History of the Americas A lauded contribution to historical sociology, Class and the Color Line is an analysis of social-movement organizing across racial lines in the American South during the 1880s and the 1890s. The Knights of Labor and the Populists were the largest and most influential movements of their day, as well as the first to undertake large-scale organizing in the former Confederate states, where they attempted to recruit African Americans as fellow workers and voters. Joseph Gerteis is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Minnesota. He is a coeditor of Classical Sociological Theory and Contemporary Sociological Theory. Class and the Color Line won the 2005 President’s Book Award from the Social Science History Association.

Chaney Analyzing the impact of black abolitionist iconography on early black literature and the formation of black identity, Fugitive Vision examines the writings of Frederick Douglass, William Wells Brown, William and Ellen Craft, and Harriet Jacobs, and the slave potter David Drake. Juxtaposing pictorial and literary representations, the book argues that the visual offered an alternative to literacy for current and former slaves, whose works mobilize forms of illustration that subvert dominant representations of slavery by both apologists and abolitionists.

Pointer Historians have long been aware that the encounter with Europeans affected all aspects of Native American life. But were Indians the only ones changed by these cross-cultural meetings?

In Encounters of the Spirit, Richard Pointer takes up those intriguing questions in this innovative study of the religious encounter between Indians and Euro-Americans in early America.

Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin has often been cited for its galvanizing effect on anti-slavery opposition in the years before the American Civil War. One of the more interesting attempts to do the same for Southern sympathizers was Fort Lafayette; or, Love and Secession, written in 1862 by Benjamin Wood. Wood hoped to persuade his readers of the moral wrong and the dangers the war to republican government. e novel underscores the deep connections between Americans on both sides of the sectional conflict, the pain of their severance, and the suffering brought about by war. Blondheim provides an extensive introduction, notes, and supplementary writing and speeches by Wood in order to give readers a broader understanding of the politics of the Civil War. 4/2006; 312 pages COPGOC cloth 978-0-253-34737-4 $55.00 COPGOP paper 978-0-253-21847-6 $21.95 FROM ALL POINTS America’s Immigrant West, 1870s-1952 Elliott Robert Barkan At a time when immigration policy is the subject of heated debate, this book makes clear that the true wealth of America is in the diversity of its peoples.

Bucking this trend and belying his humble origins, Banigan succeeded spectacularly in the emerging local rubber footwear industry, becoming the president of the United States Rubber Company, one of the nation’s major cartels, and New England’s first Irish-Catholic millionaire. Molloy’s inquiry into his notoriety and success newly and singularly codifies and elucidates the Irish-American experience during that era. Irish Titan, Irish Toilers captures the temper of the times, the assimilation process of an ambitious and progressive figure from a dispossessed subculture, and the realities of nineteenth-century immigration. Students and scholars will welcome Molloy’s take on a larger-than-life figure and this critical period in American labor history. Revisiting New England: The New Regionalism University of New Hampshire Press • Paper, 288 pp. 26 b&w illus. • $24.95 ISBN 13: 978-1-58465-691-3 Meat, Modernity, and the Rise of the Slaughterhouse Edited by Paula Young Lee Over the course of the nineteenth-century, factory slaughterhouses replaced the handslaughter of livestock by individual butchers who often performed this task in back rooms, letting blood run through streets. A modern invention, the centralized municipal slaughterhouse was a political response to the public’s increasing lack of tolerance for “dirty” butchering practices, corresponding to changing norms of social hygiene and fear of meat-borne disease. The slaughterhouse, in Europe and the Americas, rationalized animal slaughter according to capitalist imperatives. Essays by the best international scholars come together in this cutting-edge volume to examine the cultural significance of the slaughterhouse and its impact on modernity. Contributors include Dorothee Brantz, Kyri Claflin, Jared Day, Lindgren Johnson, Roger Horowitz, Ian MacLachlan, Christopher Otter, Dominic Pacyga, Richard Perren, Jeffrey Pilcher, and Sydney Watts.

This book is a clarion call for economic historians to go forth and proclaim the good news: economic history still has something to tell us.” — James Fichter, Common-Place In recent years, scholars in a number of disciplines have focused their attention on understanding the early American economy. The result has been an outpouring of scholarship, some of it dramatically revising older methodologies and findings, and some of it charting entirely new territory—new subjects, new places, and new arenas of study that might not have been considered “economic” in the past. The Economy of Early America enters this resurgent discussion of the early American economy by showcasing the work of leading scholars who represent a spectrum of historiographical and methodological viewpoints. Contributors include David Hancock, Russell Menard, Lorena Walsh, Christopher Tomlins, David Waldstreicher, Terry Bouton, Brooke Hunter, Daniel Dupre, John Majewski, Donna Rilling, and Seth Rockman as well as Cathy Matson. The Economy of Early America is an important volume for the field of economic history, demonstrating the vitality of recent scholarship and charting new directions for future study. 376 pages | 1 illustration | $25.00 paper Co-published with the Library Company of Philadelphia Edited by Susan E. Klepp and Billy G. Smith Now in a new Second Edition First published by Penn State Press in 1992, The Infortunate has become a staple for teachers and students of American history. William Moraley’s firsthand account of bound servitude provides a rare glimpse of life among the lower classes in England and the American colonies during the eighteenth century. In the decade since its original publication, Susan Klepp and Billy Smith have unearthed new information on Moraley’s life, both before his ill-fated venture as an indentured servant from England to the “American Plantations” and after his return to England. This revised edition features this additional information while presenting the autobiography in a new way, offering more explicit emphasis for students and teachers in college, university, and high school about how to read and interpret Moraley’s autobiography. “Those of us who have too long savored the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin as being an account of a typical poor man’s rise to wealth and power in the new United States will welcome this account of the more usual fate of a common ordinary person in Colonial and Federal America.” —Ray B. Browne, on the first edition in Journal of American Culture 208 pages | 17 illustrations/6 maps | $16.00 paper Available in the U.S., Canada, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Asia —John K. Alexander, University of Cincinnati It has often been said that early America was the “best poor man’s country in the world.” Down and Out in Early America presents the evidence for poverty versus plenty and concludes that financial insecurity was a widespread problem that plagued many early Americans. Down and Out in Early America features a distinguished lineup of historians. Gary B. Nash surveys the scholarship on poverty in early America. Philip D. Morgan examines poverty among slaves while Jean R. Soderlund looks at the experience of Native Americans in New Jersey. In the other essays, Monique Bourque, Ruth Wallis Herndon, Tom Humphrey, Susan E. Klepp, John E. Murray, Simon Newman, J. Richard Olivas, and Karin Wulf look at the conditions of poverty across regions, making this the most complete and comprehensive work of its kind. 352 pages | 7 illustrations/2 maps | $24.50 paper “This collection is a welcome contribution to the study of colonization and African Americans.” —T. D. Hamm, Choice Benjamin Coates was one of the best-known white supporters of African colonization in nineteenth-century America. A Quaker businessman from Philadelphia and a sometime officer of the Pennsylvania Abolition Society, he was committed to helping black Americans relocate to West Africa. This put him at the center of a discourse with abolitionists at home and abroad, including such leading thinkers as Joseph Jenkins Roberts, Mary Ann Shadd Cary, Henry Highland Garnet, Frederick Douglass, Alexander Crummell, George L. Stearns, and William Coppinger. Creative and restless, cantankerous and charismatic, these men and women dominated the struggle to end slavery and to achieve respect for African Americans. Back to Africa sheds new light on these remarkable personalities and their tireless efforts at reform. 368 pages | 2 illustrations | $27.00 paper penn state press AVAILABLE IN BOOKSTORES, OR ORDER TOLL FREE 1-800-326-9180 820 N.
