  • Lipsitz on Szwed, 'Crossovers: Essays on Race, Music, and American Culture'
    H-Urban Lipsitz on Szwed, 'Crossovers: Essays on Race, Music, and American Culture' Review published on Tuesday, November 1, 2005 John F. Szwed. Crossovers: Essays on Race, Music, and American Culture. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005. ix + 283 pp. $47.50 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8122-3882-2. Reviewed by George Lipsitz (Department of American Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz) Published on H-Urban (November, 2005) The Genius of Black Culture In this collection of thirty-one short articles, essays, and reviews written over a thirty-six- year period, John Szwed consistently displays the extraordinary imagination and ingenuity that have made him one of the most respected scholars in African-American and Afro-diasporic Studies. Szwed's recent well-reviewed and influential biographies of Miles Davis and Sun Ra demonstrated his great gifts as an analyst and interpreter of the brilliance and beauty of Black culture.[1] This volume explains where, how, and why the informing logic of those books originated.Crossovers is both a revealing intellectual history of Szwed's development as a scholar and critic, and a unified and integrated argument on behalf of the aesthetic, moral, and political genius of the African diaspora. Szwed's objects of inquiry range widely, crossing countries and continents, cultural genres and generations. He analyzes the anti-racist writings of Lafcadio Hearn, a nineteenth-century Irish immigrant to Ohio, and the contemporary postmodern francophone fiction of Patrick Chamoiseau from Martinique. Szwed surveys the anthropology of Black Atlantic religion, medicine, and music; reviews performances by Sonny Rollins, Ornette Coleman, and Peter Apfelbaum; and recovers the hidden histories of jazz criticism in Czechoslovakia, the legacy of Yoruba speech in Cuba, and the dispersal of pre-jazz African-American music to India, Finland, and South Africa in the nineteenth century.

  • Summer 2015E Asonvolume 44S Number 2 a Note from the Executive Director
    SSummer 2015E ASONVolume 44S Number 2 A Note from the Executive Director PAUL W. MEYER, The F. Otto Haas Executive Director Flora of Pennsylvania: Taking Plant Science Research to the Next Level otanical and horticultural research were central to the vision of John and Lydia Morris as they planned the future of the institution we now know as the Morris Arboretum of the University Bof Pennsylvania. And, since 1933, Arboretum staff and students have focused on developing information and expertise on the native and naturalized plants of Pennsylvania. This work has resulted in a series of definitive publications including two editions of Plants of Pennsylvania, Trees of Photo: Nick Kelsh Pennsylvania, and most recently, Aquatic Plants of Pennsylvania. In 1980, the Arboretum assumed leadership in developing an electronic database for the Pennsylvania flora, and since then it has continued to build and expand the wealth of information included. Today, this database covers more than 3,000 taxa of plants and includes more than 400,000 records of plant occurrences, each based on a physical herbarium specimen. Information derived from the database informs teachers, students, landscape professionals, and natural lands managers, as well as amateur plant enthusiasts. Each year the database is augmented with new information resulting from extensive field work conducted throughout the Commonwealth. As an outcome of strategic planning, this work will continue, and the Morris Arboretum will build its expertise on Pennsylvania plants and develop recommendations for their protection and conservation. However, while science has moved forward, we currently do not have the laboratory equipment and supplies needed to conduct the tests and experiments which will answer critical questions related to understanding Pennsylvania plants, especially those which are rare, threatened or endangered.
