Rethinking identity and activism in

Sex Science Self

A Social History of Estrogen, Testosterone,
and Identity
Bob Ostertag
In Sex Science Self, Bob Ostertag cautions against accepting
and defending any technology uncriticallyeven, maybe
even especially, a technology that has become integrally
related to identity. Specifically, he examines the development of estrogen and testosterone as pharmaceuticals.
Ostertag situates this history alongside the story of an
increasingly visible and political lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender population. He persuasively argues that scholarship on the development of sex hormone chemicals does
not take into account LGBT history and activism, nor has
work in LGBT history fully considered the scientific research
that has long attempted to declare a chemical essence of
gender. In combining these histories, Ostertag reveals the
complex motivations behind hormone research over generations and
expresses concern about the growing profits from estrogen and testosterone, which now are marketed with savvy ad campaigns to increase their
use across multiple demographics.
Ostertag does not argue against the use of pharmaceutical hormones.
Instead he points out that at a time when they are increasingly available,
it is more important than ever to understand the history and current use
of these powerful chemicals so that everyonewithin the LGBT community and beyondcan make informed choices.
In this short, thoughtful, and engaging book, Ostertag tells a fascinating story while opening up a wealth of new questions and debates about
gender, sexuality, and medical treatments.
Bob Ostertag is professor of cinema and digital media at the University

of California, Davis. He is the author of three books, including Creative Life:
Music, Politics, People, and Machines. He is also an internationally known
composer, performer, instrument builder, activist, and journalist. More
information about his work can be found on his website, bobostertag.com.
Sex Science Self makes

a significant contribution
to the field of LGBT
studies by placing
debates about trans

material in clear, direct,
and highly readable
language, making it both
accessible and completely

through the lens of a Boston family
Artful Lives
The Francis Watts Lee Family and Their Times
Patricia J. Fanning
Francis Watts Lee and his family hold a special place in the history of
American photography. F. Holland Day completed a series of remarkable
photographs of Lees daughter Peggy, and the striking portrait of the child
and her mother titled Blessed Art Thou among Women is one of Gertrude
Ksebiers most iconic compositions. In Artful Lives, Patricia J. Fanning
uses these and other significant images as guideposts to explore the Lee
family and the art and culture of their age.
A social reform advocate, Francis Watts Lee was an artistic photographer
and a talented printer, part of the circle of avant-garde artists and intellectuals who formed Bostons bohemia. He married twice, first Agnes Rand,
an award-winning poet and childrens book author, and later, after their
divorce, Marion Lewis Chamberlain, a librarian and MIT-trained architect.
Francis and Agness eldest daughter, Peggy, who was so integral to the work
of pioneer Pictorialists, died at age seven of juvenile diabetes. Her sister,
Alice, who lost her hearing in infancy, became a wood carver and sculptor.
Utilizing previously unknown family archives and institutional sources,
Fanning traces the Lee familys story in the context of major artistic, political, social, and religious trends, including the Arts and Crafts movement,
Christian Socialism, and Aestheticism, while also showing
how their experiences reflected the national cultures
evolving conceptions of family, gender, childhood, medicine, deaf education, and mourning. This richly drawn
and gracefully written account of one family informs our
understanding of this vibrant era, in Boston and well
beyond.

The Labor of Literature

Democracy and Literary Culture in
Modern Chile
Jane D. Griffin
By producing literature in nontraditional formsbooks
made of cardboard trash, posters in subway stations,
miniature shopping bags, digital publications, and even
childrens toysChileans have made and circulated
literary objects in defiance of state censorship and
independent of capitalist definitions of value. In The
Labor of Literature Jane D. Griffin studies amateur and
noncommercial forms of literary production in Chile that
originated in response to authoritarian state politics and
have gained momentum throughout the postdictatorship
period. She argues that such forms advance a model of
cultural democracy that differs from and sometimes contradicts the model endorsed by the state and the market.
By examining alternative literary publications, Griffin
recasts the seventeen-year Pinochet dictatorship as a time of editorial
experimentation despite widespread cultural oppression and shows how
grassroots cultural activism has challenged government-approved corporate
publishing models throughout the postdictatorship period. Griffins work
also points to the growing importance of autogestin, or do-it-yourself
cultural production, where individuals combine artisanal forms with
new technologies to make and share creative work on a global scale.
Jane D. Griffin is assistant professor of modern languages

at Bentley University.
A smart, engaging
analysis of emergent
forms of literary production and distribution in the context of
Chiles violent dictatorship, radical neoliberal
restructuring of the
economy, and eventual transition to
democracy, this book
is thoughtful and well
written, breaking vital
new ground in Latin

For a Short Time Only

Itinerants and the Resurgence of Popular Culture in Early America
Peter Benes
By the 1740s, colonists living in North America began to encounter scores
of itinerant performers from England and Europe. These show people
acrobats, wire dancers, tumblers, trick riders, painters, dancing-masters,
waxworks proprietors, healers, and singing and language teachers
brought novelty and culture to remote areas. Advertising in newspapers,
they attracted audiences with the hook of appearing for a short time
only.
In this richly illustrated and deeply researched book, Peter Benes
examines the rise of early American popular culture through the lives and
work of itinerants who circulated in British North America and the United
States from the late seventeenth through the early nineteenth century.
Although they were frequently reviled as quacks and absconders by many
provincials, these transients enjoyed a unique camaraderie and found
audiences among high- and lowbrow alike. Drawing on contemporary
diaries, letters, reminiscences, and hitherto inaccessible newspaper ads,
broadsides, and images, Benes suggests why some elements of Europes
carnival and folklore traditions failed to gain acceptance in American society while others flourished brilliantly.

Considering the future of preserving

the past
Bending the Future

Fifty Ideas for the Next Fifty Years of Historic
Preservation in the United States
Edited by
Max Page and Marla r. Miller
The year 2016 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the National

Historic Preservation Act, the cornerstone of historic preservation policy and practice in the United States. The act
established the National Register of Historic Places, a national
system of state preservation offices and local commissions,
set up federal partnerships between states and tribes, and led
to the formation of the standards for preservation and rehabilitation of historic structures. This book marks its fiftieth
anniversary by collecting fifty new and provocative essays
that chart the future of preservation.
The commentators include leading preservation professionals, historians, writers, activists, journalists, architects,
and urbanists. The essays offer a distinct vision for the
future and address related questions, including, Who is a
preservationist? What should be preserved? Why? How? What stories do
we tell in preservation? How does preservation contribute to the financial,
environmental, social, and cultural well-being of communities? And if the
arc of the moral universe . . . bends towards justice, how can preservation be a tool for achieving a more just society and world?
Max Page is professor of architecture and history at the

University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Marla r. Miller is professor of history and director of the
Public History Program at the University of Massachusetts
Amherst. She is editor of the series Public History in Historical
Perspective.
I see this book as being a

requirement in the library
of any preservation professional. It certainly will
become an instant textbook for the many preservation programs across
the countryat both the
undergraduate and the
graduate level.

The Body Distances

(A Hundred Blackbirds Rising)
Mark Wagenaar
As with those poets

who seem to be his touchstonesLarry Levis,
Charles Wright, and Albert
Goldbarth come to mind
Mark Wagenaars poems
are capacious, restless narratives and lyrics that are
both emotionally nuanced
and remarkably fluent in
their ability to juggle allusions that range from
Dante to Donald Trump,
from Madame Curie to
Lex Luthor. The Body
Distances is a book to
savor and return to.
Let no lip, shoulder, hip, go untasted tonight. Let no one be unscathed.

And as you close the door & fold yourself in sleep against another
look for a moment at the empty stretch of dark between heaven

& earth: someone is missing from the world . . .
The Body Distances is filled with long, limber, nimble poems at once ecstatic
and elegiac. These poems are odes to the miraculous embedded in the
everyday, in which the unlikely continues/to dovetail with the present.
Charting how our bodies break and bridge toward spirit, Mark Wagenaars The Body
Distances traces what our flesh endures from sleeping pills, garbage dumps, coal dust,
whiskey, and muons, yet manages to find mercy in a Whitmanesque power to marvel at
a mutilated world. This is an all too human book by a marvelous poet right when we
need it the most.
Mark Irwin, author of American Urn: Selected Poems
Mark Wagenaars poems are brimful of the worldgenerous, fluid, packed with an avid
music, with praise and astonishment. In poem after poem, Wagenaar renders a sense of
a still life with everything in the world, not in an attempt to freeze-frame the moment
but in order to register everything in the moment, in all its registers,
as the moment passes.

Set in Sri Lanka and America, the ten short stories in this debut collection
feature characters struggling to contend with the brutality of a decadeslong civil war while also seeking security, love, and hope. The characters
are students, accountants, soldiers, servants. They are immigrants and
strivers. They are each forced to make sometimes comic, sometimes tragic,
choices. What they share, despite what theyve endured, is the sustaining
power of human connection.
Holy moly, this is one of the best short story collections Ive read in years. If, as the
author writes, the civil war in Sri Lanka created a whole new sick little alphabetLTTE,

Cultivating Environmental Justice

A Literary History of U.S. Garden Writing
Robert S. Emmett
While Michael Pollan and others have popularized ideas about how growing ones own food can help lead to environmental sustainability, environmental justice activists have pushed for more access to gardens and
fresh food in impoverished communities. Now, Robert S. Emmett argues
that mid-twentieth-century American garden writing included many
ideas that became formative for these contemporary environmental writers and activists.
Drawing on ecocriticism, environmental history, landscape architecture, and recent work in environmental justice and food studies, Emmett
explores how the language of environmental justice emerged in descriptions of gardening across a variety of literary forms. He reveals early
egalitarian associations found in garden writing, despite a popular focus
on elite sites such as suburban lawns and formal southern gardens. Cultivating Environmental Justice emphasizes the intergenerational work of gardeners and garden writers who, from the 1930s on, asserted increasingly
radical socioeconomic and ecological claims to justice. Emmett considers
a wide range of texts by authors including Bernard MMahon, Scott and
Helen Nearing, Katharine S. White, Elizabeth Lawrence, Alice Walker,
and Novella Carpenter.

investigates the development of African

American readers
The Harlem Renaissance and the

Idea of a New Negro Reader
Shawn Anthony Christian
Many scholars have written about the white readers and
patrons of the Harlem Renaissance, but during the period
many black writers, publishers, and editors worked to foster
a cadre of African American readers, or in the poet Sterling
Browns words, a reading folk. Black newspapers featured
columns that reviewed the latest African American fiction.
Magazines held writing contests to urge black readers to
participate in the literary culture. Through newspapers,
journals, and anthologies, writers such as James Weldon
Johnson, Jessie Fauset, and Gwendolyn Bennett spoke
directly to their fellow African Americans to cultivate interest in literature and the intellectual tools for reading it.
In The Harlem Renaissance and the Idea of a New Negro
Reader, Shawn Anthony Christian argues that print-based
addresses to African Americans are a defining but understudied component of the Harlem Renaissance. Especially between
1919 and 1930, these writers promoted diverse racial representation as
a characteristic of good literature both to exhibit black literacy and to
foster black readership. Drawing on research from print culture studies,
histories of racial uplift, and studies of modernism, Christian demonstrates the importance of this focus on the African American reader in
influential periodicals such as The Crisis and celebrated anthologies such
as The New Negro. Christian illustrates that the drive to develop and support black readers was central in the poetry, fiction, and drama of the era.
Shawn Anthony Christian is associate professor of English,

African American, and American studies at Wheaton College.
Christian has produced an impeccably

researched and illuminating study of reading
and writing during the
Harlem Renaissance.
The Harlem Renaissance
and the Idea of a New
Negro Reader has great
appeal for general readers interested in the
Harlem Renaissance,
the black press, literature of the twenties and
thirties, and print culture studies.

nineteenth-century womens literary activism

supporting Native American rights
Unconventional Politics
Nineteenth-Century Women Writers and U.S. Indian Policy
Janet Dean
Throughout the nineteenth century, Native and non-Native women writers protested U.S. government actions that threatened indigenous peoples
existence. The conventional genres they sometimes adoptedthe sensationalistic captivity narrative, sentimental Indian lament poetry, didactic
assimilation fiction, and the mass-circulated commercial magazinetypically had been used to reinforce the oppressive policies of removal, war,
and allotment. But in Unconventional Politics Janet Dean explores how four
authors, Sarah Wakefield, Lydia Huntley Sigourney, the Muscogee/Creek
S. Alice Callahan, and the Cherokee Ora V. Eddleman, converted these
frameworks to serve a politics of dissent. Intervening in current debates
in feminist and Native American literary criticism, Dean shows how these
women advocated for Native Americans by both politicizing conventional
literature and employing literary skill to respond to national policy.
Dean argues that in protesting U.S. Indian policy through popular
genres, Wakefield, Sigourney, Callahan, and Eddleman also critiqued
cultural protocols and stretched the contours of accepted modes of feminine discourse. Their acts of improvisation and reinvention tell a new
story about the development of American womens writing and political
expression.
Unconventional Politics makes a substantial contribution to the field
of nineteenth-century literary studies. Specifically, Dean offers a new
way of understanding texts both within and in debate with conventions like sentimentality or the captivity narrative.

How women shared their works and

changed their worlds
In the Neighborhood
Womens Publication in Early America
Caroline Wigginton
In this compelling and original book, Caroline Wigginton
reshapes our understanding of early American literary history. Overturning long-standing connections between the
male-dominated print culture of pamphlets, broadsides, and
newspapers and the transformative ideas that instigated the
American Revolution, Wigginton explores how womens
relational publicationscirculated texts, objects, and performancestransformed their public and intimate worlds.
She argues that Native, black, and white womens interpersonal publications revolutionized the dynamics of power
and connection in public and private spaces, whether those
spaces were Quaker meeting houses, Creek talwas, trading
posts, burial grounds, or the womens own neighborhoods.
Informed by deep and rich archival research,
Wiggintons case studies explore specific instances of relational publication. The book begins with a pairing of examplesthe statement a grieving Lenape mother made through a wampum belt and the
political affiliations created when a salon hostess shared her poetry. Subsequent chapters trace a history of womens publication practice, including a
Creek womans diplomatic and legal procession-spectacles in the colonial
Southeast, a black mothers expression of protest in Newport, Rhode Island,
and the resulting evangelical revival, Phillis Wheatleys elegies that refigured neighborhoods of enslaved and free Bostonians, and a Quaker womans pious and political commonplace book in Revolutionary Philadelphia.
A compelling work of scholarship, In the Neighborhood stands to make a substantial, lasting contribution to early American literature and to all the conversations in which it is
engaged, from Native American history to African American poetry, to political diplomacy,
religious expression, and autobiographical writing in early America.

The Riot Report and the News

How the Kerner Commission Changed Media Coverage
of Black America
Thomas J. Hrach
On July 28, 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson established the National
Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders to investigate the causes of
unrest in urban black communities during the 1960s. Chaired by Illinois
governor Otto Kerner Jr., the commission ominously warned, Our
nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one whiteseparate
and unequal. And it aimed its sharpest criticism at the mainstream media,
concluding: The press has too long basked in a white world, looking out
of it, if at all, with white mens eyes and a white perspective. Major news
media responded by expanding and diversifying their coverage of black
communities and increasing the number of African Americans in their
newsrooms.
Although much has been written about the Kerner Commission, the
analysis has focused primarily on its affect on the American press. In The
Riot Report and the News, Thomas J. Hrach instead explores how the commission came to its conclusions, in order to understand why and how its
report served as a catalyst for change. Hrach finds that such government
criticism of the media can have a long-term and positive influence on
the nation, an insight that remains important as the news
continues to struggle with how to cover issues of race.

The success and failure of youthfulness

as a political strategy
Younger Than That Now

The Politics of Age in the 1960s
Holly V. Scott
Retrospectives of the 1960s routinely include the face of
youth rebellion: long-haired students occupying campus
buildings, young men burning draft cards, hippies dancing at Woodstock. In Younger Than That Now, Holly V. Scott
explores how the idea of youth served as a tactic in the
political and social activism of these years. In the early part
of that decade, young white activists began to learn from
the civil rights movements defiance of racism. They examined their own lives and concluded that campus rules and
the draft were repression as well. As a group, they were
ripe for revolution, and their age gave them a unique perspective for understanding and protesting against injustice.
In short, young people began to use their youth as a political strategy.
Some in the New Left were dubious of this strategy
and asked how it might damage long-term progress. Young feminists
and people of color were particularly quick to question the idea that age
alone was enough to sustain a movement. And the media often presented
young people as impulsive and naive, undermining their political legitimacy. In tracing how youth took on multiple meanings as the 1960s
progressed, Scott demonstrates the power of this idea to both promote
and hinder social change.
Addresses head on the

function and meaning
of youth and youth
culture in the era.

Portraits that celebrate global diversity in

Western New England
Words in Transit
Stories of Immigrants
Edited and with an introduction by
Ilan Stavans
Photographs by Beth Reynolds
Distributed for New

England Public Radio
The Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts is home to immigrants and

refugees from around the globe, and their presence revitalizes the region
and redefines its culture. Their journeys have involved fear, uprootedness,
and isolation as well as perseverance, creativity, and hope. Words in Transit
collects the personal stories of nearly thirty people who have made this
area their new home. These stories were recorded by New England Public
Radio in collaboration with the Copeland Colloquium at Amherst College
and produced by Tema Silk and Cathleen OKeefe under the direction of
John Voci.
Gathered together in a beautifully designed book that showcases Beth
Reynoldss photographic portraits of each immigrant, these oral histories
illuminate the many paths leading to the Pioneer Valley and demonstrate
the shared experience among those seeking a new life in a foreign land.
Storytellers include a massage therapist from Ireland, a Fulbright scholar
from Palestine, a health educator from Taiwan, a literature professor from
Spain, and a yoga teacher from Romania. Other participants hail from
far-flung places including Haiti, Jamaica, El Salvador, Cte dIvoire, the
Dominican Republic, Bhutan, Laos, Syria,
Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Congo, Slovenia,
Iraq, and Ukraine. Introduced by the renowned
scholar of translation and global literature Ilan
Stavans, these stories testify to the resilience,
bravery, and hopefulness of western New
England migrs.
Ilan Stavans is Lewis-Sebring Professor in

Latin American and Latino Culture at Amherst
College.
Beth Reynolds is a photographer, an
educator, and the owner of Base Camp Photo
in Greenfield, Massachusetts.

A new vision of the state university

in the twenty-first century
Unlocking the Promise

of Higher Education in a
Global Age
The Student-Centered Urban Public
Research University
J. Keith Motley, PhD
Universities are inextricably tied to their countrys
priorities and stages of development, and yet they
also play a role in shaping those priorities and in
energizing that development. At no time in our
nations history has the role of universities, especially public universities, been so central to Americas character and world standing. Our economic
vitality and global reputation depend on an educated workforce, composed of college graduates in
STEM, in the humanities, social sciences, and other
critical fields. Our role and responsibility is not only
to educate the workforce of tomorrow but also to promote human development and to shape citizens capable of improving the human condition
locally, nationally, and globally.
Yet, owing to budgetary constraints and increasing public skepticism
about the value of education, the American public university is in peril.
Its role as a preeminent force for cultural and social leadership and economic prosperity is under siege at both the state and the national level.
In this book, J. Keith Motley explores the many challenges facing higher
education and outlines his vision for the development of a distinctive and
vital entity, namely the student-centered urban public research university,
an institution perfectly poised to unlock the potential of higher education
in a global age.
J. Keith Motley is Chancellor of the University of

Massachusetts Boston.
