In prose the Washington Post hailed as "Wolfean or Whitmanesque, " Peery writes eloquently of the passions that led him to fight abroad for opportunities denied him at home. Whether describing his childhood in rural Minnesota or his tour of duty as a soldier in the all-black 93rd Infantry Division, Peery's is an intimate account of one soldier's political awakening.

Biographies & Memoirs

At the height of the controversy over government funding for "obscene" works of art, internationally renowned conceptual artist Joseph Kosuth created "The Brooklyn Museum Collection: The Play of the Unmentionable," an exhibit about censorship. His installation, one of the best-attended, most widely reviewed of the year, juxtaposed works of art from throughout history that had been deemed politically, religiously, or sexually objectionable, with statements about the role of art in society by writers as diverse as Oscar Wilde, Adolf Hitler, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This handsome book documents the exhibit with twenty-one pages of color and more than a hundred duotone photographs along with a major essay by art historian David Freedberg.

History & Criticism

The ongoing efforts of government officials and self-appointed guardians of public morality to control the content of art and public speech have exposed deep divisions in America's beliefs about artistic value and freedom of expression. Richard Bolton's Culture Wars is the first book to document these turbulent and disturbing debates in detail, in the words of the artists, legislators, lobbyists, and critics themselves.

Partial Recall: With Essays on Photographs of Native North Americans

In Partial Recall, twelve Native American artists and writers look deep into the images that have shaped our ideas of "Indianness," and explore the complex relationship of photography to identity. For this volume, edited and introduced by Lucy Lippard, each contributor has chosen one or two photographs as the point of departure for their original poetic, historical, political, or autobiographical essays. With an additional portfolio of more than sixty photographs drawn from around the country, Partial Recall is a unique and valuable anthology.

A classic collection exploding the stereotypes of city schools. City Kids, City Teachers—now reissued with a new introduction by William Ayers that reflects on how improving urban education is more essential than ever—has become a touchstone for urban educators, exploding the stereotypes of teaching in the city. In more than twenty-five provocative selections, set in context by Ayers and Patricia Ford, an all-star cast of educators and writers explores the surprising realities of city classrooms from kindergarten through high school. Contributors including Gloria Ladson-Billings, Lisa Delpit, June Jordan, Lewis Lapham, Audre Lorde, and Deborah Meier move from the poetic to the practical, celebrating the value of city kids and their teachers. It is a useful guide as well as a call to action for anyone who teaches or has taught in the city, for those considering teaching in urban schools, and for every parent with children in our schools today.
