A tale of remarkable bipartisan progress in Tennessee and
a roadmap for working across the aisle in today’s political climate
Crossing the Aisle
How Bipartisanship Brought Tennessee to the 21 st Century
and Could Save America
KEEL HUNT
T
he latter third of the twentieth ­century
was a time of fundamental political
transition across the South as increasing
numbers of voters began to choose Repub-
lican candidates over Democrats. Yet in
the 1980s and ’90s, reform-focused policy-
making—from better schools to improved
highways and health care—flourished in
Tennessee. This was the work of ­moderate
leaders from both parties who had a capac-
ity to work together “across the aisle.”
“In this fascinating and constructive new study,
Keel Hunt has given readers here and beyond
an invaluable guidebook to confronting
and overcoming the most difficult of civic
challenges. Anyone interested in creating
jobs, building communities, solving problems,
and moving forward with what Franklin
Roosevelt once called ‘strong and active faith’
will find Hunt’s thoughtful explanation of the
Tennessee story both illuminating and even
inspirational.”

“A worthy successor to Hunt’s Coup, this volume
continues the story of Tennessee politics from
the early inauguration of Lamar Alexander in
1978 to the election of Phil Bredesen in 2002. In
the process, it discusses how both Democrat
and Republican leaders worked together for
the good of the state and significantly boosted
the well-being of its people and its national
reputation. Topics include the success of the
state and its localities in attracting automobile

uch has been written about landfills
and the monumentality of rubbish,
but little attention has been paid to
“litter,” the small trash that soils the urban
pavement, like the bits of chewing gum that
some artists decorate. Talking Trash looks
at refuse in its early stages, when it is still
tiny and unassuming, still lives in the city,
and has yet to grow, leave the metropolis,
and accumulate in landfills.
The chapters of Talking Trash ­reflect
upon the anthropomorphic nature of u ­ rban
refuse; upon the poetics and s­ emantics of
micro-litterscapes and the archives of all
things discarded; upon “­Dumpsterology,”
or the history of the g­ arbage container as
a gendered artifact dense with cultural
meaning; and upon “dirty innocence,” or
the complex and contra­dictory link that
ties childhood to muck.
Zubiaurre also focuses on one significant
non-urban scene, the desert landscape and
the clothing and other items that immi-
grants discard as they make a desperate trek
across the border.
“Trash turns into a creative, critical field
for a number of living artists Zubiaurre
discusses—some of them less than well
known even to the informed reader. If it
is true that since the last global economic
crisis we have entered a new era that faces
material culture in unprecedented ways,
Talking Trash could be a key, necessary
critical reflection on innovative alternative
approaches to excess and waste.”

One of the first works to position Haitians as producers
of meaningful intellectual and political thought
In the Shadow of Powers

PAT R I C K B E L L E G A R D E - S M I T H

ut of a slave rebellion, Haiti was forged
as an independent nation. This fact,
in and of itself, should have been
enough to perpetuate an image of Haitians
as strong and agentive people. But leaders
of countries on both sides of the Atlantic
felt threatened by Haiti’s beginnings and
were intent on sapping it of resources.
More than a century of various restrictions
on trade, the imposition of crippling fines,
and, eventually, a US occupation followed.
Yet even as they suffered economically
under these penalties, Haitians persisted,
some of them becoming influential actors
in the world of global politics.
Throughout much of the twentieth
century and even to this day, there has
been a dearth of scholarship on the in-
tellectual and political contributions of
Haitians. In the Shadow of Powers, first
published in 1985, was a corrective to this
oversight and remains a foundational
text. Bellegarde-Smith traces the history

of Haiti through the life and career of his
grandfather Dantès Bellegarde, one of Hai-
ti’s influential diplomats and preeminent
thinkers. As Brandon Byrd describes in his
foreword to this new edition, “Bellegarde
was driven by a subversive, racially inclusive
vision of civilized progress. He believed in
and continued to push for Haiti to establish
an existence for itself, black people, and the
colonized world independent of the consid-
erable shadow cast by the world’s military,
economic, and industrial powers.” Scholars
and students who want to learn about the
intellectual and political foundations of
Haiti, its influence on other intellectuals
worldwide, and its struggles against imperi-
alism continue to find this to be an invalu-
able classic.
“In the Shadow of Powers is a timely
inspiration for those who dare imagine or
write histories disavowed, silenced, and
thought unthinkable. It is a reminder of the
power of black minds amid the devaluation
of black life.”

“The great virtue of this study is that while
the work concentrates on Dantès Bellegarde’s
thought and diplomatic career, it tells us
a great deal about Haitian intellectual
responses to the currents of political and
economic liberalism as well as positivism
in the nineteenth century and to Marxism
in the twentieth. . . . Bellegarde-Smith has
written an appreciative and critical study of
a distinguished Haitian. The author, however,
devotes most of his study to the development
of Haitian social thought; and in doing so
provides a welcome addition to the history of
ideas in Haiti.”

arrative analysis has been a powerful
technique within the field of sociology
for decades, but no one has yet rec-
ognized it as a subfield in its own right.
Narrative Sociology gathers some of the best
narrative writing in the field. Essays at the
beginning of the volume are self-reflexive,
probing the definition of “narrative” and the
CONTENTS
different forms it might take. Contributions
later in the volume are exemplary samples
from the field. This reader will be invaluable
for educators who want their students to
gain a better understanding of the narrative
form and all of its potential uses in the field
of sociology.

The challenges of culturally respectful birth for indigenous women
in Latin America
Changing Birth in the Andes
Culture, Policy, and Safe Motherhood in Peru
LU C I A G U E R R A - R E Y E S
I
n 1997, when author Lucia Guerra-Reyes
began research in Peru, she observed a
profound disconnect between the birth
care desires of health personnel and those
of indigenous women. Midwives and doc-
tors would plead with her as the anthropol-
ogist to “educate women about the danger-
ous inadequacy of their traditions.” They
failed to see how their aim of achieving low
rates of maternal mortality clashed with
the experiences of local women, who often
feared public health centers, where they
could experience discrimination and ver-
bal or physical abuse. Mainly, the women
and their families sought a “good” birth,
which was normally a home birth that
corresponded with Andean perceptions of
health as a balance of bodily humors.
“In this accessibly written ethnography, Lucia
Guerra-Reyes offers an incisive analysis of
Intercultural Birth in Peru, one example of
the broader Latin American trend to decrease
maternal mortality and provide respectful
care to indigenous women. In often riveting
detail, the book describes the many and
various consequences of the gaps between
policy and practice for women, their families
and communities, as well as their health care
providers. This outstanding book is a must-read
for anthropologists and anyone interested in
global health, maternal health, and the politics
and pragmatics of health care policy.”
— Eugenia Georges, Professor and Chair of the
Department of Anthropology, Rice University, and
author of  Bodies of Knowledge: The Medicalization of
Reproduction in Greece
Peru’s Intercultural Birthing Policy of
2005 was intended to solve these long-
standing issues by recognizing indigenous
cultural values and making biomedical care
more accessible and desirable for indige-
nous women. Yet many difficulties remain.
Guerra-Reyes also gives ethnographic
attention to health care workers. She
explains the class and educational back-
grounds of traditional birth attendants and
midwives, interviews doctors and health
care administrators, and describes their
interactions with local families. Interviews
with national policy makers put the pro-
gram in context.
“Guerra-Reyes’ penetrating analysis of the
reasons for the failure of the Peruvian
government’s intercultural birth policy is a
landmark study and a significant contribution to
the anthropological literature on birth. Through
a comparison of the implementation, or lack
thereof, in two different locations, she vividly
shows the role that prejudices and biases against
the indigenous and rural population, including
their parteras (traditional birth attendants),
played in that lack of implementation. These
biases and the adaptations by the parteras
and their clients are further highlighted in her
analysis of the consequences of the World Health
Organization shift in health policy to the use of
skilled attendants and the attempt to phase out
the parteras, who are still in demand by the local
population.”

he People’s Front in Defense of Land
of Atenco (the “Frente”) is an emblem-
atic force in contemporary Mexi-
can politics and in anti-capitalist, anti-­
neoliberal activist networks throughout the
world. Best known for years of resistance
against the encroachment of a government
airport project on communal farmland,
the Frente also became international news
when its members were subject to state
violence, rape, and intimidation in a brutal
government crackdown in 2006. Through
it all, documentary filmmaking has been
one aspect of the Frente and its allies’
­efforts. The contradictions and difficulties
of this moral and political project emerge
in the day-to-day experiences of local,
­national, and international filmmakers and
film distributors seeking to participate in
the social movement.

“[Nashville’s] stories about the orderly desegregation of schools and the peaceful desegregation of lunch
counters and the benign treatment of black people by the white people in power? That’s all a myth. ‘We
Shall Overcome: Civil Rights and the Nashville Press, 1957–1968,’ a set of photographs assembled by the
Frist Art Museum, exposes such mythmaking for what it is.   … Copies of the companion volume to the
photography exhibit will be distributed to all branches of the Nashville Public Library and to every public
school in the city, and all members of the Tennessee General Assembly will receive a copy to deliver to the
public libraries in their own communities. Here’s hoping they pause to take a look first. There’s a truth in
these photographs that many of them have likely never seen before.”
— Margaret Renkl, New York Times

Kathryn E. Delmez is a curator at the Frist Art Museum in Nashville.

Coup
The Day the Democrats Ousted Their Governor, Put Republican
Lamar Alexander in Office Early, and Stopped a Pardon Scandal
KEEL HUNT
Expanded edition, with a newly discovered account by SENATOR LAMAR ALEXANDER
“History can be opaque, but not this history: in Keel Hunt’s capable hands a critical but often-overlooked chapter
in American politics comes to vivid life. In the last days of a Tennessee governorship, the Democratic incumbent,
soon to depart, began selling pardons, fundamentally betraying the public trust. A dynamic young Republican
governor-elect, Lamar Alexander, came into the breach as Democrats reached out to him to take office early and
save the state further chaos and embarrassment. And so he did. Now, in this expanded edition of Hunt’s excellent
narrative, we have, for the first time, Alexander’s own long-missing recollections of these tense days. The result is
a brilliantly evocative story of crisis management—a story everyone interested in American politics and power
should know.”
— Jon Meacham, author of American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House and Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power
Keel Hunt is a columnist for the USA Today Network in Tennessee. He has been a reporter, editor, Washington

In Pursuit of Peace in Israel and Palestine
GERSHON BASKIN
“Gershon Baskin is among Israel’s most intrepid pursuers of peace. His book is not only a fascinating journey
across the Jewish-Palestinian divide, it also provides that rarest commodity in these dark times: hope.”
— Peter Beinart, author, The Crisis of Zionism
“Many are those who have tried to mediate between Israelis and Palestinians in their over 150-year-old conflict.
Considerably fewer are those who can point to concrete achievements, in addition to being considered honest and
fair by all sides. Gershon Baskin, a long-time Israeli peace activist, is one of those precious few, having successfully
mediated the release of captured Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit in 2011 in exchange for over 1,000 Palestinian
prisoners. . . . Baskin approaches the conflict and its two sides in a very humane way, showing great respect for
the sensitivities of both societies. In Pursuit of Peace in Israel and Palestine projects hope on every page, but it
is not a naive hope. . . . It is also one of those books on the conflict that both the engaged public, including young
students, and specialists can read and find interesting.”
— Anders Persson, H-Net Reviews in the Humanities & Social Sciences
Gershon Baskin is the founder and current co-chair of Israel-Palestine: Creative Regional Initiatives (IPCRI, formerly
Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information). He is a political and social entrepreneur focusing on renewable
energy projects in the Middle East.
Saving International Adoption
An Argument from Economics and Personal Experience
MARK MONTGOMERY and IRENE POWELL
“An informed, novel, and provocative contribution to the debate on international adoption, a subject desperately
in need of new insights.”
— Dana E. Johnson, MD, Professor of Pediatrics, University of Minnesota
“This book takes a refreshingly candid and original look at issues in international adoption. With courage and
insight, the authors apply the disciplinary lens of economics to examine the regulation of international adoption
and the unintended consequences of that regulation for vulnerable children and families. Required reading for
those who seek novel perspectives advocating for every child’s fundamental right to a family.”
— Rebecca Compton, Professor of Psychology, Haverford College, and author of Adoption beyond Borders: How International
Adoption Benefits Children
Mark Montgomery and Irene Powell have taught economics at Grinnell College for twenty-seven years. Their
research publications range from higher education and employment policy to child care and gender discrimination.
They have three grown children—a birth daughter, a son adopted domestically, and a son from Sierra Leone.
