“Revolting New York takes you on a whirlwind tour of Indian wars, riots, slave revolts, strikes, protests, and police rampages, from Dutch New Amsterdam to Occupy Wall Street. The sheer number and ferocity of past disorders, and the strangeness of so many of them, will leave you seeing the history of New York as you never did before.” —Joshua B. Freeman, author of Working-Class New York: Life and Labor since World War II REVOLTING NEW YORK

2 | university of georgia press / spring:summer 2018 HISTORY / CURRENT EVENTS

Revolting New York ranges across four centuries to reveal how mass gatherings—peaceful or violent, planned or spontaneous— have shaped the city.

More than ﬁ fty major, and numerous lesser-known, uprisings are covered in the book. The book examines formative events in the early history of New York, such as Kieft’s War (1641), Leisler’s Rebellion (1689–1691), and the Stamp Act Revolt (1765), as well as others occurring at crucial historical moments, such as the Draft Riots (1863) and the Food Riots (1917). It also studies more recent uprisings—such as the Stonewall gay rights riot (1969), Occupy Wall Street (2011), and Black Lives Matter (2014)—that continue to resonate in today’s political climate.

“Urban unrest, observed Alain Locke after the Harlem Riots of 1935, is like ‘a revealing flash of lightning’ that illuminates larger dynamics. Using this insight as premise and guide, Revolting New York reveals how the entire social history of the city can be narrated through those frequent moments, over the past four centuries, when the tensions of urban life, and the violence of inequality, have boiled over in its streets. This volume’s creators, led by two of our foremost urban geographers, show that you can’t understand social change or urban history without examining the ‘flashpoints’ through which the city is fought for—and sometimes even won—by people desirous of a life here that’s not revolting at all.”—Joshua Jelly-Schapiro, coeditor of Nonstop Metropolis: A New York City Atlas REVOLTING NEW YORK

A look at the national capital’s place within the ideological clashes of the early republic

George Washington’s Washington Visions for the National Capital in the Early American Republic adam costanzo | EARLY AMERICAN PLACES |

This book traces the history of the development, abandonment, and eventual revival of George Washington’s original vision for a grand national capital on the Potomac. In 1791 Washington’s ideas found form in architect Peter Charles L’Enfant’s plans for the city. Yet the unprecedented scope of the plan; reliance on the sale of city lots to fund construction of the city and the public buildings; the actions of unscrupulous land speculators; and the convoluted mixture of state, Adam Costanzo is a professional local, and federal authority in eff ect in the District all undermined assistant professor of history at Federalist hopes for creating a substantial national capital. Texas A&M University, Corpus Christi. In an era when the federal government had relatively few responsibilities, the tangible intersections of ideology and policy were felt through the construction, development, and oversight of the federal city. During the Washington and Adams administrations, for example, Federalists lacked the funds, the political will, and the administrative capacity to make their hopes for the capital a reality. Across much of the next three decades, University, Corpus Christi Corpus University, Thomas Jeff erson and other Jeff ersonian politicians stifl ed the A&M of Texas Courtesy growth of the city by withholding funding and support for any project not directly related to the workings of the government. After decades of stagnation, only the more pragmatic approach begun in the Jacksonian era succeeded in fostering development in the District. And throughout these decades, driven by a mixture of self-interest and national pride, local leaders worked to make Washington’s vision a reality and to earn the respect of the nation.

A proliﬁ c master of modern landscape architecture A. E. BYE whose artistry embraced ecological balance

A. E. Bye thaïsa way | MASTERS OF MODERN LANDSCAPE DESIGN |

Throughout his fi fty-year career as a landscape architect, A. E. Bye (1919–2001) approached his work with the sensibility of an THAISA WAY artist and the precision of a scientist. He designed landscapes to intensify their intrinsic qualities, using abstract forms that Thaïsa Way is an urban defi ned relationships among natural elements to explore the landscape historian teaching dynamic processes underlying each site. He has been described history, theory, and design at as a landscape architect “whose public and private garden designs the University of Washington, strove for a naturalism so artful [it seemed] he knew how to make Seattle. She is the author of Unbounded Practice: Women the snow fall where he wanted.” and Landscape Architecture in Bye was prolifi c, designing more than fi ve hundred projects the Early Twentieth Century between the late 1940s and his death. His early training with the and The Landscape Architecture of Richard Haag: From Modern National Park Service gave him experience in park analysis and Space to Urban Ecological Design. planning; his fi rst professional work focused on landscapes for schools. He would go on to design over one hundred of these, as well as several master plans for college and university campuses. Bye’s background in park and campus planning served him well in the 1950s, when a new project type—the corporate campus—began to emerge. By the early 1970s, he had created campuses for Avon, Chrysler, Westinghouse, and Dow Corning in suburban New York and New Jersey communities.

Courtesy of the author Courtesy A dedicated teacher and mentor, Bye communicated his artistic vision and intellectual passion to generations of students, colleagues, and clients. In his original explorations of landform as art, his celebration of the garden as a place for reﬂ ection, and his eﬀ ort to achieve an ecological balance in his work, Bye forged a unique vision of modernist landscape architecture.

An original look at our relationship and interactions with rattlesnakes

Thomas Palmer Landscape with Reptile LANDSCAPE WITH Rattlesnakes in an Urban World REPTILE thomas palmer Rattlesnakes in an Urban World “Prime nature writing, capably focused through multiple views of natural history, ecology, medicine, history, evolution, and anthropology.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Palmer’s book is a rarity—fascinating nature writing that includes human history and sociology along with ecology and evolution. Palmer takes that unlovable creature, the timber rattlesnake, and uses it to discuss an incredible variety of topics related to our relationships with the natural world. . . . He shows us the world and its history from a perspective we seldom even imagine.” —Library Journal

Thomas Palmer is an amateur “An intriguing examination of a human wildlife relationship that will probably naturalist, photographer, become increasingly common as the apparently inexorable pressures of human conservation advocate, and populations and demands overwhelm the natural world.”—Natural History the author of The Transfer and Dream Science. He lives in Milon, Massachusetts. In this authoritative and entertaining book, ﬁ rst published in 1992, Thomas Palmer introduces us to a community of rattlesnakes nestled in the heart of the urban Northeast, one of several such enclaves found near cities across the United States. Recognizing the unexpected proximity of rattlers in our urban environs, Palmer examines not only Crotalus horridus but also the ecology, evolution, folklore, New England history, and American culture that Courtesy of Neponset River of Neponset River Courtesy Watershed Association Watershed surrounds this native species.

Landscape with Reptile celebrates the rattlesnake’s survival with a multifaceted journey through nature, literature, and history. It includes a spirited defense of an outlaw species, an investigation of the hazards of snakebite, an account of a multimillion-dollar development project halted by Crotalus, a collection of tall tales, and a meditation on the spectacle of life on earth.

A southern memoir that mirrors the drama of “A fascinating example of the persistent prejudices and stunning obstacles that those working for justice without regard to color faced To Kill a Mockingbird in the Depression era and beyond.”—Booklist MY FATHER My Father and Atticus Finch & A Lawyer’s Fight for Justice in 1930s Alabama ATTICUS FINCH joseph madison beck A Lawyer’s Fight for Justice in 1930s Alabama

“Beck’s claim that the highly publicized White trial may have influenced the young Harper Lee is as fascinating as it is plausible, especially given the striking similarities he notes between his father and Atticus Finch. Yet it is ultimately the generosity of spirit that infuses Beck’s recollections that is the most moving part of this memorable story. A poignant and warmly engaging memoir.”—Kirkus Reviews

“My Father and Atticus Finch may not solve the Gordian knot of race relations in the Jim Crow South, but it does help map the thorny landscape that later joseph madison beck hatched a masterpiece.”—Atlanta Magazine

He also teaches at Emory Law School and has “A powerful telling of injustice in a less tolerant time.”—Minneapolis Star-Tribune lectured at universities throughout the United States and abroad.

My Father and Atticus Finch is the true story of Foster Beck, the author’s late father, whose courageous defense of a black man accused of raping a white woman in 1930s Alabama foreshadowed the trial at the heart of Harper Lee’s classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird. After repeatedly being told that his father’s case “might have” inspired Ms. Lee, author Beck, now a lawyer himself, located the trial transcript and multiple newspaper articles and Beck Theo here reconstructs his father’s role in State of Alabama v. Charles White, Alias.

On the day of the arrest, the local newspaper reported, under a page-one headline, that “a wandering negro fortune teller giving the name Charles White” had “volunteered a detailed confession of the attack” of a local white girl. However, Foster Beck concluded that the confession was coerced. The same article claimed that “the negro accomplished his dastardly purpose,” but as in To Kill a Mockingbird, there was stunning and dramatic testimony at the trial to the contrary.

A reevaluation of our relationship with livestock animals

Livestock Food, Fiber, and Friends erin mckenna | ANIMAL VOICES / ANIMAL WORLDS |

“Erin McKenna argues for an ecological or ‘biocentric’ perspective on ‘livestock animals.’ In her interviews of livestock farmers and observations of their farms, she investigates human ways of being in relationship with animals raised for human consumption and contextualizes these relationships within their broader natural environments. Then, examining these contextualized relationships through the dual lens of pragmatism and ecofeminism, she develops a picture of healthier, more respectful relationships with the animals we know as ‘livestock.’ Erin McKenna is a professor of After reading this book I better appreciate the complexity and interrelatedness philosophy at the University of of agricultural ecologies and economies.”—Mary Trachsel, University of Iowa Oregon.

Most livestock in America currently live in cramped and unhealthy conﬁ nement, have few stable social relationships with humans or others of their species, and ﬁ nish their lives by being transported and killed under stressful conditions. In Livestock, Erin McKenna allows us to see this situation and presents alternatives. She interweaves stories from visits to farms, interviews with producers

A gathering of poetry at the intersection of culture, social justice, and the environment

Ghost Fishing An Eco-Justice Poetry Anthology edited by melissa tuckey

“These poems record the perspectives of Asian men and black women, newly published poets and cornerstone voices of the twentieth century, working- class Americans and women who work on their knees clearing landmines ‘In Jordan’s Northernmost Province.’ In fact, the poets represented between these covers represent far more demographic classifications than I could possibly name. The house built in this anthology is one of many interconnecting rooms.” —Camille T. Dungy, from the foreword

Melissa Tuckey is a poet, writer, Ghost Fishing is the ﬁ rst anthology to focus solely on poetry with and literary activist living in an eco-justice bent. A culturally diverse collection entering a ﬁ eld Ithaca, New York. She is author of where nature poetry anthologies have historically lacked diversity, Tenuous Chapel. this book presents a rich terrain of contemporary environmental poetry with roots in many cultural traditions.

Eco-justice poetry is poetry born of deep cultural attachment to the land and poetry born of crisis. Aligned with environmental justice activism and thought, eco-justice poetry deﬁ nes environment as “the place we work, live, play, and worship.” This is a shift

from romantic notions of nature as a pristine wilderness outside R. Phillips David ourselves toward recognition of the environment as home: a source of life, health, and livelihood.

Ghost Fishing is arranged by topic at key intersections between social justice and the environment such as exile, migration, and dispossession; war; food production; human relations to the animal world; natural resources and extraction; environmental disaster; and cultural resilience and resistance. This anthology seeks to expand our consciousness about the interrelated nature of our experiences and act as a starting point for conversation about the current state of our environment.

New essays that examine emancipation strategies throughout the Atlantic World

Race and Nation in the Age of Emancipations edited by whitney nell stewart and john garrison marks | RACE IN THE ATLANTIC WORLD, 1700–1900 |

Over the long nineteenth century, African-descended peoples used the uncertainties and possibilities of emancipation to stake claims to freedom, equality, and citizenship. In the process, people of color transformed the contours of communities, nations, and Whitney Nell Stewart is an the Atlantic World. Although emancipation was an Atlantic assistant professor of history at event, it has been studied most often in geographically isolated the University of Texas at Dallas. ways. The justiﬁ cation for such local investigations rests in John Garrison Marks is the the notion that imperial and national contexts are essential to external relations coordinator understanding slaving regimes.

With the essays in this volume, historians contend that emancipation was not something that simply happened to enslaved peoples but rather something in which they actively participated. By viewing local experiences through an Atlantic framework, the contributors reveal how emancipation was both a shared experience across national lines and one shaped by the particularities of a speciﬁ c nation. Their examination uncovers, in detail, the various techniques employed by people of African descent across the Atlantic World, allowing a broader picture of their paths to freedom.

A reframing of environmental thoughts and incentives in the New South

The Price of Permanence Nature and Business in the New South THE PRICE OF william d. bryan PERMANENCE | ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY AND THE AMERICAN SOUTH | Nature and Business in the New South WILLIAM D. BRYAN

Using the lens of environmental history, William D. Bryan provides a sweeping reinterpretation of the post-Civil War South by framing the New South as a struggle over environmental stewardship. For more than six decades, scholars have caricatured southerners as so desperate for economic growth that they rapaciously consumed the region’s abundant natural resources. Yet business leaders William Bryan is an and public offi cials did not see profi t and environmental quality environmental historian in as mutually exclusive goals, and they promoted methods of Atlanta, Georgia. conserving resources that they thought would ensure long-term economic growth. Southerners called this idea “permanence.” But permanence was a contested concept, and these businesspeople clashed with other stakeholders as they struggled to fi nd new ways of using valuable resources. The Price of Permanence shows how these struggles indelibly shaped the modern South.

Bryan writes the region into the national conservation movement for the fi rst time and shows that business leaders played a key role shaping the ideals of American conservationists. This book also dismantles one of the most persistent caricatures of southerners: that they had little interest in environmental quality. Conservation provided white elites with a tool for social control, and this is the fi rst work to show how struggles over resource policy fueled Jim Crow. The ideology of “permanence” protected some resources but did not prevent degradation of the environment overall, and The Price of Permanence ultimately uses lessons from the New South to refl ect on sustainability today.

An examination of indigenous responses to colonialization

Patrolling the Border Theft and Violence on the Creek-Georgia Frontier, 1770–1796 joshua s. haynes | EARLY AMERICAN PLACES |

Patrolling the Border focuses on a late eighteenth-century confl ict between Creek Indians and Georgians. The confl ict was marked by years of seemingly random theft and violence culminating in open war along the Oconee River, the contested border between the two peoples. Joshua S. Haynes argues that the period should be is an assistant Joshua S. Haynes viewed as the struggle of nonstate indigenous people to develop an professor of history at the University of South Mississippi. eff ective method of resisting colonization. Using database and digital mapping applications, Haynes identifi es one such method of resistance: a pattern of Creek raiding best described as politically motivated border patrols. Drawing on precontact ideas and two hundred years of political innovation, border patrols harnessed a popular spirit of unity to defend Creek country. These actions, however, sharpened divisions over political leadership both in Creek country and in the infant United States. In both polities, people struggled over whether local or central governments would call the shots. As a state-like institution, border patrols are the key to understanding seemingly random violence and its long-term political implications, which would include, ultimately, Indian removal.

This book makes a case for a reorientation of the nuclear nonproliferation regime, posing an alternative conceptualization Wilfred Wan of nuclear order centered on the regional level. It draws on an array of theoretical tools from the literatures on regionalism, security governance, and international institutions, developing a framework that analyzes the conditions that would allow for more Wilfred Wan is a researcher robust regional nuclear cooperation. These include the presence of with the United Nations Institute (1) institutional architecture, (2) political, economic, and military for Disarmament Research. relations among states, and (3) fundamental regional awareness and identity.

Wan then deploys this theoretical approach to several case studies, including Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, focusing on two interrelated questions. First, what is the viability of a stronger regional nuclear order in the region? Second, what form would such an order most likely take? In the process, the book identiﬁ es the magnitude and character of the proliferation challenge speciﬁ c to each region. It also considers the existing character of nuclear cooperation at the regional level.

Wan presents the historical development of regional nuclear order in Latin America as a model for the rest of the world. In this area, regional institutions—ranging from organizations to dialogues to ad hoc arrangements—gradually became more involved across economic, environmental, and human security domains, providing the foundation for multilateral cooperation in the nuclear arena. As his analysis shows, in light of the contemporary proliferation landscape, the establishment and strengthening of such regional nuclear orders is essential.
