Smi TH onsider the following items: an audio cassette of a Mardi Gras Indian practice session; a printed schedule for the matches at Cormier’s Cock Pit in Cankton, Louisiana; stage passes to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival; and photographs Cof brass bands in Santiago, Cuba. These objects represent the many and varied interests of photographer Michael P. Smith, whose archive was acquired by The Historic New Orleans Collection in 2007. Smith (b. 1937) is known especially for his closely observed and penetrating photographs of New Orleans’s home- grown musicians and the culture surrounding them. Several books exploring aspects of his photography have been published, and numerous exhibitions of his works have been presented. Smith’s photographic works— combined with his many personal appearances at conferences, concerts, and festivals around the world— have secured his legacy as both a photographer and cultural investigator. Because of a physically debilitating medical condition, Smith ceased photographing in recent years. His archive of prints, transparencies, and negatives, the core of his life’s work as a photographer, is now housed at the Williams Research Center, along with over 50 boxes of supporting materials, including personal and business papers, research notes, runs of serials, and printed ephemera. 2 Volume XXV, Number 2 — Spring 2008 The Historic New Orleans Collection Quarterly 3 2 Volume XXV, Number 2 — Spring 2008 The Historic New Orleans Collection Quarterly 3 Smith saw each photograph as the culmination of a process—not just the optical, mechanical, and chemical pro- cess of producing an image from an experience, but a cultural process as well.

  • Moscow on the Potomac: the Soviet Embassy and Détente, 1969-1979
    MOSCOW ON THE POTOMAC: THE SOVIET EMBASSY AND DÉTENTE, 1969-1979 Michael V. Paulauskas A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved By: Donald J. Raleigh Louise McReynolds Chad Bryant Christopher R. Browning Donald M. Reid ©2012 Michael V. Paulauskas ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MICHAEL V. PAULAUSKAS: Moscow on the Potomac: The Soviet Embassy and Détente, 1969-1979 (Under the direction of Donald J. Raleigh) This dissertation examines the role of the Soviet Embassy in Washington, D.C., in conducting superpower diplomacy during détente, the period from 1969 to 1979 when the superpowers attempted to normalize the Cold War. This work revolves around four major themes. First, it explores the critical role played by Soviet diplomats on the ground in determining the nature of Soviet-American relations. Second, it analyzes the relationships of key diplomats, arguing that personal diplomacy bolstered détente in its initial years, but ultimately could not guarantee the long-term improvement of Soviet-American relations. Third, it complicates current understandings of Soviet foreign policy in this period, as it functioned not simply as an expression of the Kremlin’s will, but as a complex bureaucratic process that frequently wreaked havoc on negotiations. In this sense, détente was not a monolithic policy undertaken by the Soviet government with a singular goal in mind, but rather a process negotiated by Soviet officials with different understandings of Soviet aims and strategies.

Why do they live at all.” —William Faulkner, Absalom, Absalom! The South and its ethereal landscape, decayed remnants of a long-past way of life, misty mornings, steamy summer storms, romantic notions of history, hard poverty, race, and religious fundamentalism have captured the imaginations of writers, musicians, evangelists, and artists for more than a century. Each generation has given new expression and inter- pretation to an almost mythical land and its stories. The South is an emotion as much as it is a place. It lies deep in the national psyche and it can evoke extreme pas- sions. Real or imagined, to some the South is a nostalgic memory of the Lost Cause. To others, the South stirs harsh images of racial injustices and violence. The landmark 1989 Encyclopedia of Southern Culture, produced by the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi, describes the South “as a state of mind both within and beyond its geographical boundaries.” Southern musicians, writers, actors, and storytellers have been a major force in American culture since World War II. For almost five decades Southern culture has greatly influ- enced almost every aspect of American life and world cul- ture. It has permeated, and not so quietly, almost every aspect of the national identity and consciousness.
