The Combat Zone Murder, Race, and Boston’s Struggle for Justice JAN BROGAN

At the end of the 1976 football season, more than forty Harvard athletes went to Boston’s Combat Zone to cele- brate. In the city’s adult entertainment district, drugs and prostitution ran rampant, violent crime was commonplace, and corrupt police turned the other way. At the end of the night, Italian American star athlete Andy Puopolo, raised in the city’s North End, was murdered in a stabbing. Three African American men were accused of the crime. His murder made national news and led to the eventual demise of the city’s red-light district. Starting with this brutal murder, The Combat Zone tells the story of the Puopolo family’s struggle with both a dev- astating loss and a criminal justice system that produced two trials with opposing verdicts, all within the context of a racially divided Boston. Brogan traces the contentious relationship between Boston’s segregated neighborhoods during the busing crisis; shines a light on a court sys- “The Combat Zone effec- tem that allowed lawyers to strike potential jurors based tively moves forward the purely on their racial or ethnic identity; and lays bare the conversation on race, highlighting the tumul- deep-seated corruption within the police department and tuous time of busing in throughout the Combat Zone.

Letters from Red Farm The Untold Story of the Friendship between Helen Keller and Journalist Joseph Edgar Chamberlin ELIZABETH EMERSON

In 1888, young Helen Keller traveled to Boston with her teacher, Annie Sullivan, where they met a man who would change her life: Boston Transcript columnist and editor Joseph Edgar Chamberlin. Throughout her childhood and young adult years, Keller spent weekends and holi- days at Red Farm, the Chamberlins’ home in Wrentham, Massachusetts, a bustling environment where avant-garde writers, intellectuals, and social reformers of the day con- gregated. Keller eventually called Red Farm home for a year when she was sixteen. Informed by previously unpublished letters and extensive research, Letters from Red Farm explores for the first time Keller’s deep and enduring friendship with the man who became her literary mentor and friend for over forty years.

FW21-22_Cat_fn.indd 2 4/26/21 2:55 PM This Brain Had a Mouth Lucy Gwin and the Voice of Disability Nation JAMES M. ODATO FOREWORD BY NADINA LASPINA

Author, advocacy journalist, disability rights activist, fem- inist, and founder of Mouth magazine, Lucy Gwin (1943– 2014) made her mark by helping those in “handicaptivity” find their voice. Gwin produced over one hundred issues of the magazine—one of the most radical and significant disability rights publications—and masterminded its acer- bic, sometimes funny, and often moving articles about people from throughout the disability community. In this engrossing biography, James M. Odato provides an intimate portrait of Gwin, detailing how she forged her own path into activism. After an automobile accident left her with a brain injury, Gwin became a tireless advo- cate for the equal rights of people she termed “dislabled.” More than just a publisher, she fought against corruption “The story of Lucy Gwin in the rehabilitation industry, organized for the group Not and Mouth magazine Dead Yet, and much more.

FW21-22_Cat_fn.indd 3 4/26/21 2:55 PM American Sage The Spiritual Teachings of Ralph Waldo Emerson BARRY M. ANDREWS

Even during his lifetime, Ralph Waldo Emerson was called the Sage of Concord, a fitting title for this leader of the American Transcendentalist movement. Everything that Emerson said and wrote directly addressed the conduct of life, and in his view, spiritual truth and understanding were the essence of religion. Unsurprisingly, he sought to rescue spirituality from decay, eschewing dry preaching and rote rituals. Unitarian minister Barry M. Andrews has spent years studying Emerson, finding wisdom and guidance in his teachings and practices, and witnessing how the spiritual lives of others are enriched when they grasp the many meanings in his work. In American Sage, Andrews explores Emerson’s writings, including his journals and letters, and makes them accessible to today’s spiritual seekers. Written “In a style that is both scholarly and highly in everyday language and based on scholarship grounded readable, Andrews offers in historical detail, this enlightening book considers the an insightful account of nineteenth-century religious and intellectual crosscurrents Emerson’s teachings as that shaped Emerson’s worldview to reveal how his spiri- a ‘sage’ of spirituality, tual teachings remain timeless and modern, universal and demonstrating how his uniquely American. ideas are relevant to readers of today who “Andrews presents Emerson as a spiritual guide, whose goal are poised between faith was to bring sustaining principles and ethical practices to his and unbelief.” readers.

FW21-22_Cat_fn.indd 4 4/26/21 2:55 PM American Unitarian Churches Architecture of a Democratic Religion ANN MARIE BORYS

The Unitarian religious tradition was a product of the same eighteenth-century democratic ideals that fueled the American Revolution and informed the founding of the United States. Its liberal humanistic principles influenced institutions such as Harvard University and philosophical movements like Transcendentalism. Yet, its role in the history of American architecture is little known and studied. In American Unitarian Churches, Ann Marie Borys argues that the progressive values and identity of the Unitarian religion are intimately intertwined with ideals of American democracy and visibly expressed in the architecture of its churches. Over time, church architecture has continued to evolve in response to developments within the faith, and “With excellent scholar- many contemporary projects are built to serve religious, ship, Borys documents practical, and civic functions simultaneously.

American War Stories Veteran- W riters and the Politics of Memoir MYRA MENDIBLE

Trust in media and political institutions is at an all-time low in America, yet veterans enjoy an unmatched level of credibility and moral authority. Their war stories have become crucial testimony about the nation’s leadership, foreign policies, and wars. Veterans’ memoirs are not sim- ply self-revelatory personal chronicles but contributions to political culture—to the stories circulated and incorporated into national myths and memories. American War Stories centers on an extensive selection of memoirs written by veterans of the Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan conflicts—including Brian Turner’s My Life as a Foreign Country, Marcus Luttrell’s Lone Survivor, and Camilo Mejia’s Road from ar Ramadi—to explore the complex relationship between memory and politics in the context of postmodern war.

Archival Fictions Materiality, Form, and Media History in Contemporary Literature PAUL BENZON

Technological innovation has long threatened the printed book, but ultimately, most digital alternatives to the codex have been onscreen replications. While a range of critics have debated the benefits and dangers of this media technology, contemporary and avant-garde writers have offered more nuanced considerations. Taking up works from Andy Warhol, Kevin Young, Don DeLillo, and Hari Kunzru, Archival Fictions considers how these writers have constructed a speculative history of media technology through formal experimentation. Although media technologies have determined the extent of what can be written, recorded, and remembered in the immediate aftermath of print’s hegemony, Paul Benzon argues that literary form provides a vital means for criti- “Archival Fictions is the book many of us working cal engagement with the larger contours of media history. at the intersections of Drawing on approaches from media poetics, film studies, media and literature have and the digital humanities, this interdisciplinary study been anticipating.

Paper Electronic Literature An Archaeology of Born-Digital Materials RICHARD HUGHES GIBSON

The field of electronic literature has a familiar catchphrase, “You can’t do it on paper.” But the field has in fact never gone paperless. Reaching back to early experiments with digital writing in the mainframe era and then moving through the personal computer and Internet revolutions, this book traces the changing forms of paper on which e-lit artists have drawn, including continuous paper, documen- tation, disk sleeves, packaging, and even artists’ books. Paper Electronic Literature attests that digital literature’s old media elements have much to teach us about the cultural and physical conditions in which we compute; the creativity that new media artists have shown in their dealings with old media; and the distinctively electronic issues that confront digital artists.

FW21-22_Cat_fn.indd 9 4/26/21 2:55 PM The Honor Dress of the Movement A Cultural History of Hitler’s Brown Shirt Uniform, 1920–1933 TORSTEN HOMBERGER

During the era of the Weimar Republic, Germany was characterized by deep contradictions and polarizations. New, progressive social mores and artistic developments mixed uneasily with growing reactionary politics. When the 1929 stock market crash produced a severe economic shock, voters began to shift their allegiances from the par- ties of the center to radicals on both the left and the right. By 1933, amidst crisis and chaos, the Nazis had taken over. In The Honor Dress of the Movement, Torsten Homberger contends that the brown-shirted Stormtrooper uniform was central to Hitler’s rise to power. By analyzing its design and marketing, he investigates how Nazi leaders used it to project a distinct political and military persona that was simultaneously violent and orderly, retrograde and mod- “This finely conceived, well-organized, and briskly ern—a dual image that proved popular with the German written account of the SA people and was key to the Nazis’ political success.

Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games International Sport’s Cold War Battle with NATO HEATHER L. DICHTER

During the Cold War, political tensions associated with the division of Germany came to influence the world of com- petitive sport. In the 1950s, West Germany and its NATO allies refused to recognize the communist East German state and barred its national teams from sporting competitions. The construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 further exac- erbated these pressures, with East German teams denied travel to several world championships. These tensions would only intensify in the run-up to the 1968 Olympics. In Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games, Heather L.

Making sense of the Revolution, however, was never the primary aim for the planners who reimagined Boston’s heritage landscape after the Second World War. Seth C. Bruggeman demonstrates that the Freedom Trail was always largely a tourist gimmick, devised to lure affluent white Americans into downtown revival schemes, its success hinging on a narrow vision of the city’s history run “Based on exhaustive research and written in through with old stories about heroic white men.

A Cultural Arsenal for Democracy The World War II Work of U.S. Museums CLARISSA J. CEGLIO

“Does it seem strange to think of a museum as a weapon in national defense?” asked John Hay Whitney, presi- dent of the Museum of Modern Art, in June 1941. As the United States entered the Second World War in the months to follow, this idea seemed far from strange to museums. Working to strike the right balance between education and patriotism, and hoping to attain greater rel- evance, many American museums saw engagement with wartime concerns as consistent with their vision of the museum as a social instrument. Unsurprisingly, exhibitions served as the primary vehi- cle through which museums, large and small, engaged their publics with wartime topics—with fare ranging from displays on the cultures of Allied nations to “living maps” that charted troop movements and exhibits on war pre- “Few in-depth studies of paredness.

Gems of Art on Paper Illustrated American Fiction and Poetry, 1785–1885 GEORGIA BRADY BARNHILL

In the immediate aftermath of the Revolutionary War, only the wealthiest Americans could afford to enjoy illustrated books and prints. But, by the end of the next century, it was commonplace for publishers to load their books with reproductions of fine art and beautiful new commissions from amateur and professional artists. Georgia Brady Barnhill, an expert on the visual culture of this period, explains the costs and risks that publishers faced as they brought about the transition from a sparse visual culture to a rich one. Establishing new practices and investing in new technologies to enhance works of fiction and poetry, bookmakers worked closely with skilled draftsmen, engravers, and printers to reach an increasingly literate and discriminating American middle class. Barnhill argues that while scholars have largely overlooked the “Gems of Art on Paper makes a very signifi- efforts of early American illustrators, the works of art that cant contribution to our they produced impacted readers’ understandings of the knowledge and under- texts they encountered, and greatly enriched the nation’s standing of the growing cultural life. use of illustrations in books published in the “Barnhill does an excellent job tracing the slow development United States before 1885 of publishing in the United States, from the late eighteenth and the great numbers of century when there was a dearth of paper, ink, presses, and people involved.” trained printers, as well as artists, to the late nineteenth —Sue Rainey, author of century when all were available in abundance and American Creating a World on Paper: publications could compete with those of Europe.” Harry Fenn’s Career in Art —Patricia Mainardi, author of Another World: Nineteenth-Century Illustrated Print Culture

Fêting the Queen Civic Entertainments and the Elizabethan Progress JOHN M. ADRIAN

In a 1572 visit to Warwick, Queen Elizabeth looked out the window of her lodgings and saw local people dancing in the courtyard, a seemingly spontaneous performance meant to entertain her. During her travels, she was treated to fireworks, theatrical performances, and lavish banquets. Reconstructing the formal and informal events that took place throughout Elizabeth’s progress visits, events rich in pageantry and ceremony, John M. Adrian demonstrates how communities communicated their character, as well as their financial and political needs, to noble guests. While previous scholars have studied Elizabeth I and her visits to the homes of influential courtiers,Fêting the Queen places a new emphasis on the civic communities that hosted the monarch and their efforts to secure much needed support. Case studies of the cities of Oxford, “Adrian’s essential contri- Canterbury, Sandwich, Bristol, Worcester, and Norwich bution is in providing the focus on the concepts of hospitality and space—including narrative of these civic the intimate details of the built environment. occasions, which includes descriptions of the places, processions, sounds, buildings, speeches, landscape, entertainments, participants, and their agendas for the entire visit.

“Chaotic Freedom” in Civil War Louisiana The Origins of an Iconic Image BRUCE LAURIE

The image is terrible and familiar. A man sits, his face in profile, his torso exposed. His back is a breathtaking mass of scars, crisscrossing his body and baring the brutality of American slavery. Reproduced as a carte de visite, the image circulated widely throughout abolitionist networks and was featured in Harper’s Weekly. Its undeniable power testified to the evils of slavery. But who was this man and how did this image come to be? Bruce Laurie uncovers the people and events that created this seminal image, telling the tale of three men, two Yankee soldiers from western Massachusetts who were serving the Union Army in Louisiana and a man named Peter whose scarred back horrified all who saw it. The “As painful and uncom- two soldiers were so shocked by what had been done to fortable as Peter’s image Peter, they sought to capture the image and document was to view, it allowed slavery’s cruelty, the likes of which was all too common a mass audience to among those fleeing bondage in Louisiana.
