"Spanning the 1950s to today, the fourteen pieces in this collection are a time capsule of what New York once was and still is-- Talese proves time and time again that, even as the city changes, his view of it remains as timeless as ever"--

From legendary journalist Gay Talese, a collection of his greatest reporting on New York City.“Along with Joan Didion, Norman Mailer, Tom Wolfe and others, Mr. Talese has been acclaimed as a virtuoso of the novelistic New Journalism.”&nbsp;—Wall Street Journal“They fly in quietly—unnoticed, like the cats, the ants, the doorman with three bullets in his head, and most of the other offbeat wonders in this town without time.” —from&nbsp;“New York Is a City of Things Unnoticed,” Talese’s first&nbsp;Esquire&nbsp;story,&nbsp;1960For over six decades, Gay Talese has told New York stories. They are the stories of daring bridge builders, disappearing gangsters, intrepid&nbsp;Vogue&nbsp;editors, unassuming doormen who’ve seen too much. They are&nbsp;set in&nbsp;the star-studded salons of George Plimpton’s apartment, in&nbsp;the tense newsroom of a still burgeoning&nbsp;New York Times, in an&nbsp;electric studio session with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga recording their debut.With the wit, elegance, and depth of insight that has long characterized his work, Talese’s New York reporting showcases a master of the form at his finest, making intelligible the city’s vibrant beating pulse, capturing the charming, the eccentric, and the overlooked. Whether prowling the night streets to discover the social hierarchy of alley cats, or uncovering the triumph and terror of building the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, or plunging into the hidden, sordid world of a recently blown-up apartment building, Talese excavates the city around him with a reporter’s eye and an artist’s flair, crafting delightful, profound, indelible portraits of the people who live there. Spanning the 1950s to today, the fourteen pieces in this collection are a time capsule of what New York once was and still is—Talese proves time and time again that, even as the city&nbsp;changes, his view of it remains as timeless as ever.&nbsp;

The Burial Place

The Lamar Series in Western History

How a generation of pioneers and their historians knowingly hid the violent history of Indigenous dispossession in the Pacific Northwest &nbsp; The small, mostly forgotten wars of the 1850s in the American Pacific Northwest were part of a broader genocidal war—the War on Illahee—to seize Native land for Euro-Americans. Illahee (a term for “homeland” in Chinook) was turned into the states of Oregon and Washington through the violence of invading soldiers, settlers, and serial killers. Clashes over the brutality of invasion—should it be celebrated, isolated, or erased?—left behind accidental archives of atrocity, as history writers disagreed over which stories they should tell and which stories they could sell. By the 1920s, the War on Illahee had been disappeared. &nbsp; Drawing on records from the perpetrators themselves, the papers of historians, and previously suppressed evidence from Indigenous survivors, Marc James Carpenter has written both a new history of pioneer atrocities within and beyond the wars on Native people in the American Pacific Northwest, and a new history of how these wars were remembered, commemorated, and forgotten. The overlapping distortions have embedded inaccuracies in our histories and textbooks all the way to the present. Beyond reshaping the history of the Pacific Northwest, this searing book opens broader conversations about settler colonialism, historical memory, problematic monuments, and the historical profession.

New Directions in Critical Criminology

Drawing on a range of approaches including conflict, critical race, and social control theories, this book provides a comprehensive theoretical review of the need for a critical historical intersectional theory of policing and race.

The reaction to Ferguson, the murder of Trayvon Martin and other police-related deaths around the US has brought race and the criminal justice system to the forefront of current scholarly discussion. However, unlike the past, racial realism has been brought to the front line via expressions from those affected by police mistreatment as well as official reports from the Department of Justice and social justice advocacy groups. Although a public conversation has begun, lacking within this discourse is a cogent forthright criminological assessment that includes expressions and namely experiences from those affected by police-violenceDrawing on a range of approaches including conflict, critical race, and social control theories, this book provides a comprehensive theoretical review of the need for a critical historical intersectional theory of policing and race. Disrupting the obsolescence of racial realism in policing literature, this book also discusses the social and democratic implications of using critical historical intersectional analyzes in criminological research involving race.

Mutiny in the Mountains uses labor history to show the way forward for millions of workers struggling in an age of uncertainty.
In 1969, thousands of West Virginia state highway workers went on strike in fear that they faced impending loss of their jobs as they were excluded from civil service protection. Although the walkout coincided with one of the most severe winters to affect road conditions, the newly elected governor fired the strikers. The 1969 State Road Strike inaugurated a half decade of public sector organizing and protest that culminated in the historic public-school strikes of 2018–19 that shut down all schools across the Mountain State and inspired a wave of public education strikes in Arizona, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and beyond.
Beginning with the nation’s first general strike in 1877, that started with railroad workers in Martinsburg, West Virginia, and including the early coal strikes in 1912–13 and an armed insurrection in 1921, most treatments of the state’s labor history have focused on the private sector. This is the first comprehensive history of the struggles waged by state and local government workers in West Virginia. The involvement of numerous unions and interventions of the state legislative and executive branches is traced in order to provide context for those struggles. Relying on journalistic sources, legislative enactments, court decisions, and participant interviews, Mutiny in the Mountains accounts the fifty-year struggle of West Virginia’s public sector workers to assert power without the benefit of significant collective bargaining rights or political leverage.

Mutiny in the Mountains

A reprint of the sold-out 2007 first edition with a new introduction, Mapping Water embraces uncharted artistic terrains.&nbsp;Tuwaletstiwa writes, “In this vast desert, a thin membrane separates the daily world and the world of spirit. This elemental landscape holds a deep reservoir of the unconscious, continually reminding me of the fragility and tenacity of life. Whether writing, painting, working with fiber, sand, or glass, I seek to embody the elusive images that emanate from the unconscious.”The first section in Mapping Water explores the etymology of the word “genesis” alongside paintings that relate (and don’t relate) to parts of the text, evoking thoughts on the “genesis” of ideas. Subsequent sections continue this exploration with content that varies from the deconstruction of an iconic Holocaust photograph to the construction of a series using feathers and bones to honor the spirit of a dead crow.

A Companion to Adidam brings together a half-dozen scholars of New Religious Movements (NRMs) with a half-dozen of the many academic followers of Adi Da to produce a comprehensive study of a highly creative alternative spiritual group. Though new religion specialists have been aware of this group for decades, and though Adi Da and his organization are generally acknowledged to be important, there have been no prior book-length treatments of this group, and few articles. This is the first published research on the current organization, its membership and the extensive corpus of literary and artistic works that Adi Da created over the past two dozen years.

A Companion to Adidam  brings together a half-dozen scholars of New Religious Movements (NRMs) with a half-dozen of the many academic followers of Adi Da to produce a comprehensive study of a highly creative alternative spiritual group. In addition to chapters on such standard subjects as the movement’s history, membership profile, controversies and the like, Adidam examines unusual (for NRM studies) topics like Adidam’s architecture, and the art and literary productions of the founder. Prior studies of NRMs have largely ignored the cultural dimensions of such groups. There is also an untold story in Adi Da’s attempt to create a new spiritual tradition, a project that has been severely challenged by Adi Da’s passing in 2008. Though new religion specialists have been aware of this group for decades, and though Adi Da and his organization are generally acknowledged to be important, there have been no prior book-length treatments of this group, and few articles. This is the first published research on the current organization, its membership and the extensive corpus of literary and artistic works that Adi Da created over the past two dozen years.
