Better to Die by Them than for Them
Everybody Gets Fragebogened Sooner or Later’
Disseminated in millions of copies to post‐war Germans, the Allied denazification questionnaire, in its best‐known version, asked 131 questions not only about membership of the NSDAP, SS, SA, and fifty other affiliated associations, but also about individuals’ pre‐Nazi voting record, implicated relatives, and such data as weight, height, and foreign‐language expertise. Erich Kästner and Ina Seidel filled in such a questionnaire in 1945. While its…
Cosmopolitan Curiosity in an Open City
In "Boundaries of Culture," the Presidential Address at the 2017 Modern Language Association Convention, Kwame Anthony Appiah gave an impressively far-ranging account of the state of literary studies, starting with Johann Gottfried von Herder's notion of the Volksgeist and the origins of literary study in the triad of the literary, the national, and the humane, turning to such current theories as those of trauma, queer, gender, and disability stu…
James Arthur Miller (1944-2015)
Which roles have literature, music, art and film played in the struggle for equality and social justice, and what are the political roles they should be playing? What does it mean for Humanists to say that race is a social construction, and can one imagine a flexible, non-essentialist definition of race that also acknowledges the continued American obsession with it? How can a sense of modest irony make college and university teachers recognize t…
African American Writing
The Cambridge History of Jewish American Literature
This History offers an unparalleled examination of all aspects of Jewish American literature. Jewish writing has played a central role in the formation of the national literature of the United States, from the Hebraic sources of the Puritan imagination to narratives of immigration and acculturation. This body of writing has also enriched global Jewish literature in its engagement with Jewish history and Jewish multilingual culture. Written by a h…
The Temptation of Despair
What might take the place of late-generation European American ethnicity
As Herbert J. Gans writes, ethnicity among fourth-, fifth- and later-generation descendants of European immigrants (LGEs) may be disappearing, and studies of LGEs should be undertaken along the lines that he proposes. LGE nostalgia for pasts that may never have existed and LGE intermarriage rates with non-whites as well as the ideology of multiculturalism, the easy availability of travel and communication, and the proliferation of dual citizenshi…
A New Literary History of America
America is a nation making itself up as it goes along-a story of discovery and invention unfolding in speeches and images, letters and poetry, unprecedented feats of scholarship and imagination. In these myriad, multiform, endlessly changing expressions of the American experience, the authors and editors of this volume find a new American history. In more than two hundred original essays, A New Literary History of America brings together the nati…
New Literary History of America
The Life Stories of Undistinguished Americans as Told by Themselves
Hamilton Holt, editor of The Independent, collected these touching autobiographies of ordinary people--new immigrants and sharecroppers, cooks and fishermen, women and men working in sweatshops, in the city, and on the land. First published in 1906, and reissued a decade ago, this new edition of Life Stories of Undistinguished Americans is expanded to include lives Holt did not include in his original selection, as well as a new preface by Werner…
Obligations to Negroes who would be kin if they were not Negro”
The 1965/1966 Dcedalus issues on “The Negro American” reveal how America's racial future was imagined nearly a half-century ago, and at least one of the prophecies - voiced by sociologist Everett C. Hughes - found its fulfillment in an unexpected way at President Obama's inauguration in 2009. Short stories by Amina Gautier (“Been Meaning to Say” and “Pan is Dead”), Heidi Durrow's novel The Girl WhoFellfrom the Sky, plays by Thomas Bradshaw (Strom…
The Celtic Nations and the African Americas
Daniel Williams has put together an extraordinarily interesting collection of essays on cultural interactions - mergers and antagonisms - between Celtic, AfricanAmerican, and Afro-Caribbean identities. In presenting fresh archival work and new close readings, the essays are also attentive issues of linguistic and racial difference and to changing theories of belonging. Michael Newton offers the first full examination of Gaelic-speaking Scottish H…

Retellings
Lydia Maria Child's “Joanna,” featured in 1834 in the Boston anti-slavery collection The Oasis, was an early proof of abolitionist storytelling, and it has been regarded as the female-written origin of miscegenation literature in the United States. The story may have discussed the issues that were to remain in the foreground of aesthetic representation for a long time, yet it was hardly an original story, and its references had little to do with …
Neither Black Nor White Yet Both
Why can a "white" woman give birth to a "black" baby, while a "black" woman can never give birth to a "white" baby in the United States? What makes racial "passing" so different from social mobility? Why are interracial and incestuous relations often confused or conflated in literature, making "miscegenation" appear as if it were incest? When did the myth that one can tell a person's race by the moon on their fingernails originate? How did blackn…

Gathering the work of some of our most original thinkers, Theories of Ethnicity provides, in one convenient volume, the most probing and frequently cited considerations of such topics as the melting pot and pluralism, race and race problems, migration and marginality, assimilation and transnationalism, intermarriage, kinship and religion, boundary-construction and maintenance, and the important role of power relations for ethnicity.

Does Axel's Castle Have a Street Address, or, What's New? Tendencies in the Poetry of Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones)
When American Imago opened its pages to psychological investigations of the jazz culture of the forties and fifties, psychiatrists Aaron H. Esman and Norman M. Margolis reported that contemporary hot jazz, which formally opposed the softness of commercialized swing and which symbolically transgressed social and sexual taboos, attracted audiences from predominantly three social groups: (1) intellectuals, (2) blacks, and (3) adolescents.

Blacks at Harvard
The history of blacks at Harvard mirrors, for better or for worse, the history of blacks in the United States. Harvard, too, has been indelibly scarred by slavery, exclusion, segregation, and other forms of racist oppression. At the same time, the nation's oldest university has also, at various times, stimulated, supported, or allowed itself to be influenced by the various reform movements that have dramatically changed the nature of relations ac…
