ACKNOWLEDGMENTS DON’T LET anyone fool you, it’s a slog to write a book, and while much of this writing took place sitting on a sofa with my laptop and giant stacks of books, the contemplation for it often took place surrounded by others in conversa- tions, teaching, and listening. It was a journey that taught me a great deal but also reminded me of the benefits of home via places and people. Thank you to Elizabeth Ammons for guiding me at the start of this proj- ect and for her close, critical, and intelligent eye and to Christina Sharpe for steering me along the way and for her continuing words of encouragement throughout the process; such kindnesses mean a lot. I’d like to thank others at Tufts University for creating a positive atmosphere for me to grow and work, including Modhumita Roy, Joe Litvak, Sonia Hofkosh, and Ronna Johnson, as well as Chantal Hardy, Noah Barrientos, Sue Penney, and Wendy Medeiros during my days working in the front office. Stern College for Women gave me my first full-time teaching position, and I particularly want to thank Linda Shires, Ann Peters, Nora Nachumi, Richard Nochimson, and Manny Wei- dhorn. At Centre College I found a place that felt like a home even though it was a temporary one. Specific thank yous go to Philip White, Lisa Williams, Mark Rasmussen, Jami Powell, Heather Morton, and Eva Cadavid. When I was at the University of Missouri I found great colleagues, including Joanna Hearne with her kindness and helpful comments, Sam Cohen, Sheri-Marie Harrison, Andy Hoberek, Nancy West, Julija Šukys, Elizabeth Chang, Elisa Glick, Joan Hermsen, and Alex Socarides, among many more. ix All Rights Reserved.

Librarian and office administrators have helped me throughout my career, including Shulamith Cohen, Hallie Cantor, Elinor Grumet, Paula Fleming, Mary Moore, Sharon Black, Vickie Thorp, Paula Donoho, and Anne Barker. Thank you also to my editor, Lindsay Martin, to managing editor, Tara Cyphers, who kindly shepherded me through the end of the project, and to the anony- mous readers whose comments greatly helped me to make this book what it is. In the fall of 2013, the National Humanities Center provided a welcoming environment and my fellow members of the Race, State, and History Working Group, including Julie Greene, Martha Jones, Sylvia Chong, Martin Summers and Tim Marr, gave me thoughtful feedback on a chapter from this work. It’s a privilege to learn from others. I also appreciated the invitation to share some of my work at the Americanist Speakers Series sponsored by Duke, the University of North Carolina, and other institutions around the Research Tri- angle. In the spring of 2014, the Arizona State University Institute for Human- ities Research supported me during my fellowship semester. It was a pleasure to work alongside scholars such as Desirée Garcia, Bambi Haggins, and Ersula Ore. My thanks to Sally Kitch for her leadership and Shannon Lujan for her work as my research assistant. I am grateful for the recognition from the Women’s Committee from the American Studies Association for the Gloria E. Anzaldúa Award, which was earned by an earlier version of chapter 4. Similarly, I appreciate the funding to present at the Race and Space Symposium at the University of Alabama because it gave me an opportunity to meet many other young scholars of race studies such as Ashon Crawley, Yumi Pak, Debby Katz, Merinda Simmons, and Brittney Cooper as well as allowed me to meet Queen Quet Marquette L. Goodwine, Phillip Biedler, Trudier Harris, and Houston Baker. That kind of early support matters. A version of chapter 3 was published by the University of Alabama Press in Race and Displacement: Nation, Migration, and Identity in the 21st Century. Thank you to the University of Alabama Press for the permission to reprint that work. The image in that same chapter is from the National Archives, and I value the ability to reproduce Dorothea Lange’s photograph. A huge thank you to Julie Otsuka for kindly talking to me about not only her writing but also her family. It is a gift as a scholar to be able to talk to living authors. I’d also like to give appreciation to my professors at Middlebury College and the Bread Loaf School of English: Deb Evans, Will Nash, Brett Millier, Su Lian Tan, Evan Bennett, Carol Christiansen, and Julia Alvarez, as well as Alan MacVey, Cindy Rosenthal, Arthur Little, Kevin Dunn, Michael Cadden, Oskar Eustis, and Reetika Vazirani, to name but a few who showed me the All Rights Reserved.

To all those who sang with me along the way in choirs, on musical theatre stages, with jazz, classical music, and of course a cappella—particularly the Mischords—I thank you for the music that guides me. To my friends who listened to my stories about work but helped me to experience the world beyond, your presence in my life gives me joy, specifically Joyce Wagner, Lauren Stewart, Meg Allen Greenhill, and Betsy Goodchild. My first spaces in Wyomissing Hills and the Poconos of Pennsylvania shaped who I am, as did my friends who grew with me. My extended family I thank for the reminders of the benefit of being able to come home again: the Hugheses, the Gallens, and the rest of the family. To Sarah Ballard, I’m glad you have become part of my family, and to the Manions, I appreciate your welcoming me into yours. To my brother, Zach Manzella, thanks for always pushing me in everything as well as for sharing your case law knowledge, and to my par- ents, Kathy and Joe Manzella, thank you for teaching me to look for ways to make the world a better place.

  • James Albert Michener (1907-97): Educator, Textbook Editor, Journalist, Novelist, and Educational Philanthropist--An Imaginary Conversation
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 474 132 SO 033 912 AUTHOR Parker, Franklin; Parker, Betty TITLE James Albert Michener (1907-97): Educator, Textbook Editor, Journalist, Novelist, and Educational Philanthropist--An Imaginary Conversation. PUB DATE 2002-00-00 NOTE 18p.; Paper presented at Uplands Retirement Community (Pleasant Hill, TN, June 17, 2002). PUB TYPE Opinion Papers (120) EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Authors; *Biographies; *Educational Background; Popular Culture; Primary Sources; Social Studies IDENTIFIERS *Conversation; Educators; Historical Research; *Michener (James A); Pennsylvania (Doylestown); Philanthropists ABSTRACT This paper presents an imaginary conversation between an interviewer and the novelist, James Michener (1907-1997). Starting with Michener's early life experiences in Doylestown (Pennsylvania), the conversation includes his family's poverty, his wanderings across the United States, and his reading at the local public library. The dialogue includes his education at Swarthmore College (Pennsylvania), St. Andrews University (Scotland), Colorado State University (Fort Collins, Colorado) where he became a social studies teacher, and Harvard (Cambridge, Massachusetts) where he pursued, but did not complete, a Ph.D. in education. Michener's experiences as a textbook editor at Macmillan Publishers and in the U.S. Navy during World War II are part of the discourse. The exchange elaborates on how Michener began to write fiction, focuses on his great success as a writer, and notes that he and his wife donated over $100 million to educational institutions over the years. Lists five selected works about James Michener and provides a year-by-year Internet search on the author.(BT) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

  • Reading the Novel of Migrancy
    Reading the Novel of Migrancy Sheri-Marie Harrison Abstract This essay argues that novels like Marlon James’s A Brief History of Seven Killings, Viet Thanh Nguyen’s The Sympathizer, Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad, and Mohsin Hamid’s Exit West exemplify a new form of the novel that does not depend on national identification, but is instead organized around the transnational circulation of people and things in a manner that parallels the de- regulated flow of neoliberal capital. In their literal depiction of the movement of people across borders, these four very different novels collectively address the circulation of codes, tropes, and strategies of representation for particular ethnic and racial groups. Moreover, they also address, at the level of critique, the rela- tionship of such representational strategies to processes of literary canonization. The metafictional and self-reflexive qualities of James’s and Nguyen’s novels con- tinually draw the reader’s attention to the politics of reading and writing, and in the process they thwart any easy conclusions about what it means to write about conflicts like the Vietnam war or the late 1970s in Jamaica. Likewise, despite their different settings Hamid’s Exit West and Whitehead’s Underground Railroad are alike in that they are both about the movement of stateless people across borders and both push the boundaries of realism itself by employing non-realistic devices as a way of not representing travel across borders. In pointing to, if not quite il- luminating, the “dark places of the earth,” the novel of migrancy thus calls into existence, without really representing, conditions for a global framework that does not yet exist.

  • Dorothea Lange 1934
    Dorothea Lange 1934 Documentary photographer Dorothea Lange (1895–1965) is best known for her work during the 1930s with Roosevelt's Farm Security Administration (FSA). Born in New Jersey, Lange studied photography at Columbia University, then moved to San Francisco in 1919 earning a living as a successful portrait photographer. In 1935 in the midst of the Great Depression, Lange brought her large-format Graflex camera out of the studio and onto the streets. Her photos of the homeless and unemployed in San Francisco's breadlines, labor demonstrations, and soup kitchens led to a job with the FSA. From 1935 to 1939, Lange's arresting FSA images—drawing upon her strength as a portrait photographer—brought the plight of the nation's poor and forgotten peoples, especially sharecroppers, displaced families, and migrant workers, into the public eye. Her image "Migrant Mother" is arguably the best-known documentary photograph of the 20th century and has become a symbol of resilience in the face of adversity. Lange's reports from the field included not just photographs, but the words of the people with whom she'd spoken, quoted directly. "Somethin' is radical White Angel Breadline, 1933 wrong," one told her; another said, "I don't believe the President (Roosevelt) knows what's happening to us here." Lange also included her own observations. "They have built homes here out of nothing," she wrote, referring to the cardboard and plywood "Okievilles" scattered throughout California's Central Valley. "They have planted trees and flowers. These flimsy shacks represent many a last stand to maintain self-respect." At the age of seven Lange contracted polio, which left her right leg and foot noticeably weakened.

The language of literature is greatly affected by the struggle between two mutually opposed forces: the oppressor and the resisting power of the oppressed. The oppressed and the exploited of the earth maintain their defiance: liberty, through resistance. The biggest weapon against this defiance is to annihilate their belief in their past, roots, culture, or even their names and ultimately in themselves. It makes them want to identify with that which is remote; for example other people’s language. Ideas are implanted that any possibility of success or triumph is a remote ridiculous dream. This in turn creates a collective despair and a wasteland where the oppressor presents himself as the cure. Remembering, looking back in anger or even imagining are all acts of resistance and of lending coherence and integrity to a history and a homeland interrupted, divided or compromised by instances of loss.
