AMERICAN HISTORY & TRANSCULTURAL STUDIES
Power-Lined Electricity, Landscape, and the American Mind Daniel L. Wuebben Power-Lined weaves together personal narrative, historical research, cultural analysis, and social science to provide a sweeping investigation of overhead wires’ varied influence on the American landscape and the American mind. Daniel L. Wuebben shows how power lines— from Morse’s telegraph to our high-voltage grid—not only carry electricity between American places but also create electrified spaces that signify and complicate notions of technology, nature, progress, and, most recently, renewable energy infrastructure. “With historical detail and carefully constructed analysis, Wuebben offers an engaging narrative that fills important gaps in our understanding of the power grid and its physical and cultural ramifications for the twenty-first century.”—Julie A. Cohn, author of The Grid: Biography of an American Technology

“In this eloquent and engaging new book, Daniel Wuebben sheds light on a ubiquitous yet often-overlooked aspect of electrical development: the power lines themselves. This capacious book incorporates the history of technology, literature and cinema studies, and art history in chronicling the history of our wired world, from the stringing of telegraph cables through the development of a smart grid.

Sea Otters A History Richard Ravalli In Sea Otters Richard Ravalli synthesizes anew the sea otter’s complex history of interaction with humans by drawing on new histories of the species that consider international and global factors beyond the fur trade, including sea mammal conservation, Cold War nuclear testing, and environmental tourism. Sea Otters weaves together the story of imperial ambition, greed, and an iconic sea mammal that has left a determinative imprint on the modern world. “Expertly integrating history and biology, this is the one book that tells the full, tragic story of the sea otter from its near extinction to its elevation to icon of cuteness. The sea otter, as Ravalli masterfully relates, has long been at the center of

The Limits of Liberty chronicles the formation of the U.S.-Mexico border from the perspective of the “mobile peoples” who assisted in determining the international boundary from both sides in the mid-nineteenth century.
How the West Was Drawn is a revisionist and interdisciplinary understanding of the global imperial contest for North America’s Great Plains that provides the fine details of the Pawnees’, Iowas’, and Lakotas’ strategies of survival from and accommodation to predatory Euro-American and Native empires.
“As James Nichols reveals in this important new book, the U.S.-Mexico border has simultaneously functioned as a space of liberation and opportunity as well as a zone of confinement and limitation.

Unpopular Sovereignty Mormons and the Federal Management of Early Utah Territory Brent M. Rogers
Política is a tour de force of political history in the nineteenth-century U.S.-Mexico borderlands that reinterprets colonization, reconstructs Euro-American and Nuevomexicano relations, and recasts the prevailing historical narrative of territorial expansion and incorporation in North American imperial history. Phillip B. Gonzales provides critical insights into several discrete historical processes, such as U.S. racialization and citizenship, integration and marginalization, accommodation and resistance, internal colonialism, and the long struggle for political inclusion in the borderlands, shedding light on debates taking place today over Latinos and U.S. citizenship.

Rogers examines the complex relationship between sovereignty and territory along three main lines of inquiry: the implementation of a republican form of government, the administration of Indian policy and Native American affairs, and gender and familial relations.

Abuses of the Erotic
Gender, Performance, and the History of a Scene Amber R. Clifford-Napoleone
Militarizing Sexuality in the Post-Cold War United States Josh Cerretti
Queering Kansas City Jazz supplements the grand narrative of jazz history by including queer identities in the city’s history while framing the jazz scene experience in terms of identity and space. Cabarets, gender impressionism clubs, and sites of sex tourism served as world-making spaces for those whose performance of identity transgressed hegemonic notions of gender, sexuality, race, and class. Amber R. Clifford-Napoleone provides a deconstruction of how the jazz scene offered a space for nonnormative gender practice and performance and acted as a site of contested identity and spatial territory.
Abuses of the Erotic offers a comprehensive picture of how military values have permeated the civilian cultural sphere and investigates connections between sexuality and militarism in the United States since the late 1980s. Josh Cerretti provides an intersectional analysis of militarism that accounts for questions of race, class, and gender to explore how sexual and gender politics have been deployed to bolster U.S. military policies and how these instances have foundationally changed how we think of sexual and gender politics today.

Kellie Wilson-Buford demonstrates how the courts’ construction and criminalization of sexual deviance during the second half of the twentieth century was part of the military’s ongoing articulation of gender ideology.
of “celebrity” as enumerated by black journalists writing against the backdrop of Jim Crow–era segregation and disenfranchisement. Carrie Teresa argues that journalists and editors working for these black-centered publications, rather than simply mimicking the reporting conventions of mainstream journalism, instead framed celebrities as collective representations of the race who were then used to symbolize the cultural value of artistic expression influenced by the black diaspora and to promote political activism through entertainment.

Great Plains Politics
Great Plains Indians
Peter J. Longo
David J. Wishart
The Great Plains has long been home to unconventional and progressive politics, from the country’s first female U.S. representative and first female governor to the nation’s only single-house state legislature. Great Plains Politics provides a lively tour of the Great Plains region through the civic and political contributions of its citizens.
From a hunting and gathering lifestyle to first contact with Europeans to land dispossession to claims cases and much more, David J. Wishart takes a wide-angle look at one of the most significant groups of people in the country. Myriad internal and external forces have profoundly shaped Indian lives on the Great Plains. Wishart spans the vastness of Indian time on the Great Plains, bringing the reader up to date on reservation conditions and rebounding populations in a sea of rural population decline.
“A lively and engaging work on the subtle layerings between individuals, community, political identity, and political life in the Great Plains, with narrative, biography, and “An accessible and highly readable book that is analysis that reveal the people-place-politics undoubtedly the best overview of the Plains synergies of Great Plains politics and commu- Indians.

AMERICAN HISTORY & TRANSCULTURAL STUDIES
The Spanish Caribbean and the Atlantic World in the Long Sixteenth Century
Jaime E. Rodríguez O.
Political Culture in Spanish America, 1500– 1830 reexamines the nature of Spanish American political culture by reevaluating the political theory, institutions, and practices of the Hispanic world. Consisting of eight case studies with a focus on New Spain and Quito, Jaime E. Rodríguez O. demonstrates that Spanish America’s process of independence differs from previous claims.
“Rodríguez O.’s documentation of extensive Indian participation in the political process in Ecuador following the crisis of 1808 warrants “The editors have assembled a uniformly special mention.

Death Is All around Us
Women Made Visible
Corpses, Chaos, and Public Health in Porfirian Mexico City Jonathan M. Weber
Feminist Art and Media in Post–1968 Mexico City Gabriela Aceves Sepúlveda
Death Is All around Us examines how Mexican state officials tried to resolve public health dilemmas facing the capital city. To this end the government used new forms of technology and scientific knowledge to deal with the thousands of unidentified and unburied corpses found in hospital morgues, cemeteries, and on the streets. Jonathan M. Weber explores how the state’s attempts to exert control over procedures of death and burial became a powerful weapon for controlling the behavior of its citizens.
Women Made Visible by Gabriela Aceves Sepúlveda uses a transnational and interdisciplinary lens to analyze the fundamental and overlooked role played by artists and feminist activists in changing the ways female bodies were viewed and appropriated. Through their concern for self-representation (both visually and in formal politics), these women played a crucial role in transforming existing regimes of media and visuality—increasingly important intellectual spheres of action. Aceves Sepúlveda demonstrates that these women feminized Mexico’s mediascapes and shaped the debates over the female body, gender difference, and sexual violence during the last decades of the twentieth century.

Hearing Voices Aurality and New Spanish Sound Culture in Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Sarah Finley Hearing Voices takes a fresh look at sound in the poetry and prose of colonial Latin American poet and nun Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1648/51–95). Author Sarah Finley argues that Sor Juana’s striking aurality challenges ocularcentric interpretations and problematizes paradigms that pin vision to logos, writing, and other empirical models that traditionally favor men’s voices. Seen from this perspective, sound becomes a vehicle for women’s agency and responds to anxiety about the female voice, particularly in early modern convent culture. “Sarah Finley brings a unique combination of expertise in early modern musicology and current sound studies to illuminate a web of connections among aesthetic, philosophical, scientific, gendered, and political contexts.” —Emilie Bergmann, professor of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of California, Berkeley February 2019 • 252 • 6 x 9 • 7 illustrations, index $60.00 • hardcover • 978-1-4962-1179-8
The Image of Elizabeth I in Early Modern Spain
Edited by Eduardo Olid Guerrero and Esther Fernández Foreword by Susan Doran This volume explores the fictionalized, historical, and visual representations of Elizabeth I and their impact on the Spanish collective imagination. Drawing on works by Miguel de Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Pedro de Ribadeneira, Luis de Góngora, Cristóbal de Virués, Antonio Coello, and Calderón de la Barca, among others, the contributors limn contradictory assessments of Elizabeth’s physical appearance, private life, personality, and reign. In doing so they articulate the various and sometimes conflicting ways in which the Tudor monarch became both the primary figure in English propaganda efforts against Spain and a central part of the Spanish political agenda.

Daughters of 1968 Redefining French Feminism and the Women’s Liberation Movement Lisa Greenwald Lisa Greenwald argues that the history of the French feminist movement is the history of women’s claims to the individualism and citizenship that had been granted their male counterparts, at least in principle, in 1789. Yet French women have more often donned than cast aside the mantle of particularism— advancing their contributions as mothers to prove their worth as citizens instead of claiming absolute equality. The few exceptions, such as Simone de Beauvoir or the activists of the 1970s, demonstrate the diversity and tensions within French feminism, as France moves from a predominantly corporatist and tradition-minded country to one marked by individualism and modernity. “Finally!

With evidence from state policies, elementary textbooks, pedagogical journals, and other educational materials, Eden K. McLean demonstrates that racism was always a central tenet of the Fascist project to create New Italians.

Global Jewish Foodways explores many facets of the history of Jewish food around the world. These essays provide a critical study of the impact of food on Jewish lives, focusing on the Jewish dietary system, a complex set of laws, practices, and procedures that regulated what could be eaten, when, how, and with whom.

Women and Sweden’s Thirty Years’ War Mary Elizabeth Ailes Courage and Grief illuminates in a nuanced fashion Sweden’s involvement in Europe’s destructive Thirty Years’ War (1618–48). Focusing on the various roles women performed in the bloody and extended conflict, Mary Elizabeth Ailes analyzes how methods of warfare and Swedish society were changing in profound ways. This study considers the experiences of unmarried camp followers and officers’ wives as well as peasant women who remained in the countryside during times of conflict and upheaval.
The Other Exchange Women, Servants, and the Urban Underclass in Early Modern English Literature Denys Van Renen Denys Van Renen contends that, fascinated by the intellectual and cultural vibrancy of the urban underclass, many major authors and playwrights in the early modern era featured lower-class men and women and other marginalized groups in their work as a response to the shifting political and social terrain of the day. Van Renen traces this fascination with marginalized groups as a key element in the development of a middle-class mind-set.

Remembering World War I in America
Kimberly J. Lamay Licursi
Remembering World War I in America explores the American public’s collective memory and common perception of World War I by analyzing the extent to which it was expressed through the production of cultural artifacts related to the war. Through the analysis of war histories, memoirs, fiction, and film, Kimberly J. Lamay Licursi shows that no consistent images or messages about the war arose that resonated with a significant segment of the American population.
