Harvard University Press New AMERICAN ORACLE The Civil War in the Civil Rights Era DAVID W. BLIGHT David Blight takes his readers back to the Civil War’s centennial celebration to determine how Americans made sense of the suffering, loss, and liberation a cen - tury earlier. He shows how four of America’s most incisive writers—Robert Penn Warren, Bruce Catton, Edmund Wilson, and James Baldwin—explored the gulf between remembrance and reality. “[Blight] gives us more than a history lesson: he presents an introspective jour - ney into America’s most complex and enigmatic historical event through the minds of four exceptional storytellers. He offers us the opportunity to revisit a monumental tragedy and thereby invites us to probe its meaning. If we do, we will not only be reacquainted with a defin - ing American moment but we will also learn more about who America is, and why.” —JAMES T. CROUSE, TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION “This is a distinctive addition to the books about the Civil War and how we view it on the conflict’s 150th anniversary.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY “David W. Blight’s richly interpretive American Oracle contextualizes the sentimentalized celebration of the Civil War in the early 1960s within the tense realities of the civil rights era and the Cold War. Blight unravels the complexities of Civil War memory and meaning at a time when most white Amer - icans considered restoration of the Union, not emancipation, as the war’s grand result.” —JOHN DAVID SMITH, CHARLOTTE OBSERVER “History and great literature blend beautifully as Blight conducts his examination of the works of four writers—Robert Penn Warren, southern-born novelist; Bruce Catton, historian and journalist; Edmund Wilson, literary critic; and James Baldwin, northern-born essayist and race critic—providing background and context for their works and their views of the centennial and all its commercialism and hypocrisy…Throughout, Blight explores the mythology that came out of the Civil War and the sense of American redemption that did not include any examination of the tragedies of racism and slavery.” —VANESSA BUSH, BOOKLIST (starred review) “The ghosts of the Civil War never leave us, as David Blight knows perhaps better than anyone, and in this superb book he masterfully unites two distant but inextricably bound events with insightful dissection of the works of four of our best writers, writers obsessed with coming to terms with our original sin.” —KEN BURNS Belknap 2011 4 halftones 328 pp. Cloth $27.95 / £20.95 ISBN 978-0-674-04855-3 table of contents Featured Titles ...... 2 Colonial and U.S. History to 1877 ...... 4 African American History / American South ...... 7 Religion in America ...... 12 America and the World ...... 15 Atlantic World ...... 19 Political and Legal History ...... 20 Economic History ...... 28 Social, Cultural, and Intellectual History ...... 30 Science and Medicine ...... 34 New Titles—Spring 2012 ...... 35 John Harvard Library ...... 36 Dictionary of American Regional English ...... 38 Index ...... 38 Order Form ...... 39

www.hup.harvard.edu / 1-800-405-1619 (in U.S. only) New BEFORE THE REVOLUTION America’s Ancient Pasts DANIEL K. RICHTER

★ A Wall Street Journal Best Nonfiction Book of the Year ★ A Marginal Revolution Best Book of the Year In this epic synthesis, Daniel K. Richter reveals a new America. Surveying many centuries prior to the American Revolution, we discover the tumultuous encoun - ters between the peoples of North America, Africa, and Europe and see how the present is the accumulation of the ancient layers of the past. “Ultimately, [Richter’s] history is a history of violence, of violence perpetrated by Europeans against Native Americans, by Native Americans against Europeans, and by both peoples against their own kith and kin. It is a dark and brutal story, although one in which the Native Americans are shown as for long holding their own, manipulating Europeans as trading partners and playing off one set of Europeans against another until the over- whelming British victory of 1763 no longer made this possible. There is precious little uplift here, and little sense of the more constructive characteristics of the brave new world that was rising amid the wreckage of the old. But, in patiently uncovering the layers beneath the rubble, Richter forcefully brings home to us that the American past belongs to many peoples, and that none should be forgotten.” —J. H. ELLIOTT, NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS “An elegantly written attempt to see colonial America from the indigenous perspective…In Richter’s grand system, the continent’s history comprises successive waves of adventurers, one atop another. Al - though the American Revolution ‘submerged these earlier strata,’ he argues that they nonetheless ‘re - mained beneath the surface to mold the nation’s current contours.’ Walking atop the topmost strata, in other words, are thee and me, the terrain around us shaped by those who came first. The approach is bold, original and insightful…[A] masterly account… Before the Revolution is a book that by its very boldness invites intelligent argument. Every few decades, historians develop a new way of looking at the past. I am not talking about ‘revisionism’ but unifying conceptual schemes, the sort of mental framework that Frederick Jackson Turner created in his argument for the importance of the frontier to our history or that Bernard Bailyn established in his studies of the American Revolution’s ideologi - cal origins. Historians debated Turner for a long time and continue to debate Bailyn. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were arguing with Richter a decade from today.” —CHARLES C. MANN, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL “[Richter] demonstrates that U.S. history did not begin with the American Revolution, convincingly arguing that the ideas that manifested themselves in the mid-18th century with the rebellious colonists had their origins in such varied locales as the Mississippian Southeast and Europe of the Middle Ages…Any history written by this preeminent historian is an essential read for everyone inter - ested in the deeper history of the United States.” —JOHN BURCH, LIBRARY JOURNAL Belknap 2011 88 halftones, 13 maps 560 pp. Cloth $35.00 / £25.95 ISBN 978-0-674-05580-3

Her freedom, like that of thousands who escaped from bondage, came at a great price—remorse at parting without a word, fear for her family’s fate. “In this rigorously scholarly but totally absorbing narrative, Nathans unfolds a history as spellbinding as a novel, chockfull of fascinating people engaged in a venture both risky and affecting. When the fugitive slave Mary Walker finds refuge with the Lesleys in Pennsylvania, their lives, their families, and their circle of friends become deeply involved in the general cause and the specific mis - sion—to secure the freedom of Walker’s mother and her children…Nathans has transformed the paraphernalia of academia (ploughing through archives, thor - ough documentation, guarded speculation) into a book that will entrance the general reader, inform the scholar, and engage both.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review) 2012 25 halftones, 4 maps 360 pp. Cloth $29.95 / £22.95 ISBN 978-0-674-06212-2

New THE UNINTENDED REFORMATION How a Religious Revolution Secularized Society BRAD S. GREGORY Brad S. Gregory identifies the unintended consequences of the Reformation for the modern condition: a hyperpluralism of beliefs, intellectual disagreements that splinter into fractals of specialized discourse, the absence of a substantive common good, and the triumph of capitalism’s driver, consumerism. “A work of deep moral seriousness… The Unintended Reformation is simply the most intelligent treatment of the subject by a contemporary author.” —THOMAS A. BRADY, JR., AUTHOR OF GERMAN HISTORIES IN THE AGE OF REFORMATIONS, 1400 –1650 “[Gregory] approaches the continuing impact of the Reformation in what he terms a ‘genealogical’ approach—one that sees the Reformation as the root of a tree whose branches reach into every aspect of modern life…[A] rewarding look at the long reach of history, and how we are the poorer for ignoring it.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Belknap 2012 592 pp. Cloth $39.95 / £25.00 ISBN 978-0-674-04563-7

It is a well-written, well-argued study that penetrates to the heart of modern evangelical culture…Evangeli - cals who take the intellect seriously, as well as outsiders struggling to understand the evangelical sub- culture, will benefit from their hard work and keen insights.” —MATTHEW AVERY SUTTON, CHRISTIAN CENTURY “[Stephens and Giberson] rise triumphantly to the challenge of explaining the leaders and the culture of the religious Right without rancor or condescension.” —RAY OLSON, BOOKLIST Belknap 2011 25 halftones 384 pp. Cloth $29.95 / £22.95 ISBN 978-0-674-04818-8

New PRISON BLOSSOMS Anarchist Voices from the American Past ALEXANDER BERKMAN, HENRY BAUER, AND CARL NOLD Edited by Miriam Brody and Bonnie Buettner Published here for the first time is a crucial document in the history of American radicalism—the “Prison Blossoms,” a series of essays, narratives, poems, and fables composed by three activist anarchists imprisoned for the 1892 assault on anti- union steel tycoon Henry Clay Frick. “Prison Blossoms are a distant cousin of Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks . This book reminds us how much we learn about the self-absorbed center of society from those who are caged in at its margin. A gem of a book.” —MARY FAINSOD KATZENSTEIN, AUTHOR OF FAITHFUL AND FEARLESS “At long last, these passionate and perceptive anarchists can be heard! Magnificently edited and masterfully translated, Prison Blossoms should command the attention of anyone interested in the delivery, denial or deferral of justice in the United States.” —GLENN C.
