To date, no radical critique has been made of the role social scientists played in Japanese American internment camps during the Second World War.  In fact, while social scientific theories of the time were used to study and interpret the behavior of a population living under great stress, they served at the same time to stifle rebellion and to reduce interners to mere objects of scientific inquiry.  In this groundbreaking study, Francis Feeley shows how theories of industrial relations and labor control informed social science studioes in these camps and contributed to a growing "body of knowledge" for social control. A seminal work highly recommended for graduate students in political science, history, or American Studies, who are interested in the on-going debate over Multiculturaism in the United States and, by implication, throughout the modern world.  Professor Feeley's research makes a serious contribution to our understanding of the historic problems faced by Japanese Americans at the time of the Second World War.

In presenting herself, the poet, as a Cumaean Sibyl, Gladys M. Ilarregui is both archaic and modern. The fragmentation of knowledge, that appears to have occurred simultaneously with its discovery, leads to the conclusion that we possess the necessary knowledge, the keys to opening the doors, to understand the world if we could properly order the fragments of knowledge which we possess. Modern physics with its discoveries of ever smaller particles of matter has increased our awareness of fragmentation. Ilarregui's poetry orders fragments of myth, philosophy, science, personal experience and literature to recreate the experience of the late tewentieth-century. As the scenes of her poetry move easily over the western world from the Americas to Europe, her allusions range over the wide spectrum of ancient and modern art, science and literature. The ancient ideas of microcosm/macrocosm and of the four elements are as crucial as the modern idea of particles and perspectivism. The joining together of such diverse phenomena into a distinctly individual framework places Ilarregui in the forefront of Post Modern poets. Judy B. McInnis provides a brillant translation and a detailed analysis of three of Gladys M. Ilrragui's short books of poetry, Indian Journeys, Roles and Persons and Guide for the Perplexed.

Set against the backdrop of historic New Orleans, Tulane political science professor, Dr. Nancy Maveety explores the trials and tribulations of the academic world at a fictional private university. From the anxieties of doctoral candidates frantically trying to balance finishing their dissertations with finding THE job that will end the fear that all of this time has been a waste, to the frustrations of young assistant professors in their quest for the elusive tenured position, Maveety describes all with remarkable detail and striking humor. In The Stagnant Pool, the reader sees that academia is not immune to the power struggles and petty office politics that abound whenever you have more than two people together. Academics will enjoy identifying themselves with some of the actors in this funny psychodrama.

Atlantic Emporium surveys the period from Portuguese recapture of Muslim-held Lisbon in 1147 to Vasco da Gama's departure for India in 1497. The book examines Portugal's critical role in establishing a European world economy after 1500 and provides a synthesis of political, social, cultural, and economic history. There is presently no other work that offers such a concise treatment of Portugal's role in the extension of European hegemony into Iberia, Africa, the Atlantic, the Americas, and maritime Asia. With Atlantic Emporium, instructors have a brief text that is neither too summary nor imbedded in a broader survey. Although aimed at undergraduates, Atlantic Emporium will also be of great use to graduate students and specialists.

This fictional history shows how people worlds apart are hurled into the Mississippi Valley to a New World ruled by water and climate and by overseas power. Their daily lives and passions pitch men and women, French, Canadian,African and Indian into the storm that is Louisiana as cultures clash to change all their lives. NANKOWETCO explores the life of the Natchez Indian Lepage Du Pratz. French Peers called him Lepage, and natives addressed him as Nankowetco ("The Man Who Cares"). Du Pratz sympathized with the native resistance to French Control during 1716-1734, refusing to become enslaved by the French. The French in turn were determined to prevail against the Indians to the point of annihilation. Not only an Indian hero, Du Pratz was an enlightened man, a scientist and observer.

The time was the late Imperial Period, an era when Rome wore her last Empire like a huge ancient toga, worn thin from overuse, badly tattered, and frayed around the edges, and studded too sparsely with precious jewels. Galla Placidia was one of those few precious jewels, a brilliant diamond sparkling in the last rays of a setting sun.
