University of Texas Press | 2018 9 “Dawoud Bey: Seeing Deeply is a timeless masterpiece for the ages. With its sincerity, concern, and attention to communities and lives lost, displaced, or erased, it is a documentary record for US history. I’ve never seen a book of this depth and magnitude about the intentions and thoughts of an artist’s own life and work.” —LaToya Ruby Frazier

“This book is a gold mine…a gift of a well-measured life. Throughout these pages, Bey graciously allows us to walk through his mind as he tussles with one of the great questions in photography: how best to describe a people at a particular historical moment? As both participant and observer, he delivers the answers!” —Carrie Mae Weems

His precise, tenderly seen subjects are subjects we have always known, but have not; should have known, but did not; but now, must know. In their quietude, grace, and virtue they have an urgency for our time, positing an ethics of seeing and being.” —Adam D. Weinberg Alice Pratt Brown Director of the Whitney Museum

University of Texas Press | 2018 13 “Was there ever a book like this that says so much about the world in so few words? It is almost frightening, this shock treatment. . . . Dostoyevsky comes to mind—the grain and the pathos—as does Primo Levi’s account of Auschwitz; James Agee and Walker Evans’s classic, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men; and John Berger’s work with photographer Jean Mohr. . . . But above all, it is the integrity created by the flicker of life in the almighty darkness where art and documentary coalesce.

It is profoundly moving.” —Kathleen Stewart University of Texas at Austin, author of Ordinary Affects

“These photographs are extraordinary. They trace a direct connection with Alves’s subjects that is rare and impossible to fake. This is very different from a lot of documentary work being done today, and I think it will be a revelation to many.” —David Levi Strauss School of Visual Arts, author of From Head to Hand: Art and the Manual

A landmark feminist critique with a new foreword by Jessa Crispin, author of Why I Am Not a Feminist: A Feminist Manifesto, this provocative book surveys the forces that work against women who dare to write

How to Suppress Women’s Writing

By Joanna Russ With a new foreword by Jessa Crispin

Are .women .able .to .achieve .anything .they .set .their .minds . to? In How to Suppress Women’s Writing, award-winning novelist and scholar Joanna Russ lays bare the subtle—and not so subtle—strategies that society uses to ignore, condemn, or belittle women who produce literature. As relevant today as when it was first published in 1983, this book has motivated generations of readers with its powerful feminist critique.

“What is it going to take to break apart these rigidities? Russ’s book is a formidable attempt. It is angry without being self-righteous, it is thorough without being exhausting, and it is serious without being devoid of a sense of humor. But it was published over thirty years ago, in 1983, and there’s not an enormous difference between the world she describes and the world we inhabit.” —Jessa Crispin, from the foreword

Sing the lyrics as you read them, try on a new shade of lipstick that matches the text (especially you, gentlemen), call your mother to ask a question about your grandparents, look up a reference that makes no sense to you, put aside your judgment about what counts as “serious,” start a new hashtag, take this book to a protest, let your lover give you a foot rub while you thumb chapter three. Why not? For the space of these pages, enter into the world of a Texas Bama femme: someone who lives between very real places in the South and the boundless territory of the black feminist imagination, someone who performs her womanness very diligently and very irreverently, someone whose life is nothing like Beyoncé’s and everything like her complicated fantasy of blackness, womanness, and desire.

By Adam Arenson

Expansively researched and illustrated, this lively history recounts how the extraordinary partnership of financier Howard Ahmanson and artist Millard Sheets produced outstanding mid-century modern architecture and art for Home Savings and Loan

“I .want .buildings .that .will .be .exciting .seventy-five . years from now,” financier Howard Ahmanson told visual artist Millard Sheets, offering him complete control of design, subject, decoration, and budget for his Home Savings and Loan branch offices. The partnership between Home Savings—for decades, the nation’s largest savings and loan—and the Millard Sheets Studio produced more than 160 buildings in California, Texas, Florida, New York, Ohio, Illinois, and Missouri over the course of a quarter century. Adorned with murals, mosaics, stained glass, and sculptures, the Home Savings (and Savings of Amer- ica) branches displayed a celebratory vision of community history and community values that garnered widespread acclaim.

Depositions Roberto Burle Marx and Public Landscapes under Dictatorship

By Catherine Seavitt Nordenson

Presenting the first English translation of Burle Marx’s “depositions,” this volume highlights the environmental advocacy of a preeminent Brazilian landscape architect who advised and challenged the country’s military dictatorship

Roberto .Burle .Marx .(1909–1994) .is .international- ly known as one of the preeminent modernist landscape architects. He designed renowned public landscapes in Brazil, beginning with small plazas in Recife in the 1930s and culminating with large public parks in the early 1960s, most significantly the Parque do Flamengo in Rio de Janeiro. Depositions explores a pivotal moment in Burle Marx’s career—the years in which he served as a member of the Federal Cultural Council created by the military dictatorship in the mid-1960s. Despite the inherent conflict and risk in working with the military regime, Burle Marx boldly used his position to advocate for the protection of the unique Brazilian landscape, becoming a prophetic voice of caution against the regime’s policies of rapid development and resource exploitation. Depositions presents the first English translation of eigh - teen environmental position pieces that Burle Marx wrote for

the journal Cultura, a publication of the Brazilian Ministry of Education and Culture, from 1967 through 1973. Cath- erine Seavitt Nordenson introduces and contextualizes the depositions by analyzing their historical and political contexts, as well as by presenting pertinent examples of Burle Marx’s earlier public projects, which enables a comprehensive reading of the texts. Addressing deforestation, the es- tablishment of national parks, the place of commemorative sculpture, and the unique history of the Brazilian cultural landscape, Depositions offers new insight into Burle Marx’s outstanding landscape oeuvre and elucidates his transition from prolific designer to prescient counselor.

In South Texas, Anglo growers’ dreams of creating a modern agricultural empire depended on continuous access to Mexican workers.

Examining patterns of urban settlement and abandonment across several centuries, this book offers the first comprehensive overview of Sicily’s strategic importance to ancient Rome and broader Mediterranean-wide networks

Urbanism and Empire in Roman Sicily

By Laura Pfuntner

Sicily . has . been . the . fulcrum . of . the . Mediterranean . throughout history. The island’s central geographical position and its status as ancient Rome’s first overseas province make it key to understanding the development of the Roman Empire. Yet Sicily’s crucial role in the empire has been largely overlooked by scholars of classical antiquity, apart from a small number of specialists in its archaeology and material culture. Urbanism and Empire in Roman Sicily offers the first comprehensive English-language overview of the history and archaeology of Roman Sicily since R. J. A. Wilson’s Sicily under LAURA PFUNTNER the Roman Empire (1990). Laura Pfuntner traces the devel- Belfast, .United .Kingdom opment of cities and settlement networks in Sicily in order to Pfuntner is a lecturer in understand the island’s political, economic, social, and cultural ancient history at Queen’s University Belfast. role in Rome’s evolving Mediterranean hegemony.
