A Muslim psychiatrist and a Jewish journalist join together to tell a story of genocide and healing

Wounded I Am More Awake

Finding Meaning after Terror
j u l i a l i e b l i c h a n d e s a d b o k a i lo

ounded I Am More Awake follows the story of Esad Bokailo, a doctor who survives six concentration camps in Bosnia and emerges with powerful new lessons for healing in an age of genocide. This gripping account raises questions for healers, survivors, and readers striving to understand the reality of war and the aftermath of terror. Is it possible to find meaning after enduring crimes against humanity? Can people heal after trauma? Human rights journalist Julia Lieblich takes the reader through Bokailos early years under Tito to the wars when friends

turned on friends. She documents his harrowing experiences in the camps, where the men he once joined for coffee murder his best friend from childhood. But the story does not end there. Bokailo moves to the United States and decides to become a psychiatrist so he can guide survivors through the longterm process of restoring hope. Today, inspired by the late psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl, Bokailo uses his own experience to help patients mourn their losses and find meaning in the aftermath of terror.

I have just turned the last page. I feel drained, enraged, despairing for
humanitybut also enriched, confirmed, and, in a way, elated. This unlikely couple, a journalist who wrote the story and a psychiatrist who lived the story, have accomplished something that is remarkable and necessary. They relived and recorded one mans survival of genocide in a narrative that conveys such well-chosen detail that you smell the stench and sweat of bodies in a concentration camp, but you have just enough air to breathe and distance to carry you through the darkness. We must acknowledge the extremes of human evil, and face the history of collective atrocity. We must understand the impact of cruelty and loss on those who escape and endure. And the only way to learn the hardest lessons of inhumanity is for the tale to be told so well that we permit ourselves to take it in, to appreciate the dignity of those who have been deliberately debased, but who act in small, decent ways. They share bread. They restrain anger that could damage a fellow prisoner. They testify and risk the reprisal of others and, even worse, the reprisal of unforgiving memory. This is my world, the world of those who witness trauma and terror and loss. These are my people, the victims who prevail, the therapists who listen, the journalists who witness, perceive, and relate. Read this book. It will take you where you would rather not go, but you will be better for going there.

Sarah Suiters book documents a healing community

that creates a home for women who have used drugs and sold sex and are desperate for a safe place, helping hands, and loving hearts to help them change their lives. The ingredients for the development and evaluation of similar effective communities for women are well and passionately described in the book. Hopefully they will be heeded.
Jean J. Schensul, Senior Scientist and Founding Director, Institute for Community Research, Hartford, and author, with Margaret LeCompte, of The Ethnographers Toolkit

o men come to Magdalene House in Nashville when they are ready to leave the streets. They live together unsupervised and free of chargefor two years. During that time, the women are given time, space, and the resources they need to heal from what have often been lifelong experiences with suffering. (Of the twenty-two women now in residence, 80 percent have a diagnosed mental illness other than addiction, 40 percent are receiving treatment for hepatitis C, and one-third are HIV positive.) However, the story of the Magdalene community is not about these statistics, but about the stories the women tell. They say they thrive in the community because it is a place where they are free to be themselves, safe to give and receive love, and

free to speak their trutheven to complain sometimes about how their storytelling is exploited for the good of the community. Magdalene House is a participantobservation account of the history of this remarkable community founded in 1997, its structure, its Thistle Farms beauty products operation, and Reverend Becca Stevenss communal and spiritual vision. The book is finally about what it means to walk the path of healing with a group of unlikely women as guide. Magdalene House was the subject of a multiple-part documentary on National Public Radio.

Feminist takes on depictions of violence against women and changing gender roles in Stieg Larssons thrillers

Men Who Hate Women and Women Who Kick Their Asses
Stieg Larssons Millennium Trilogy in Feminist Perspective
E D I T E D BY D O N N A K I N G A N D C A R R I E L E E S M I T H

tieg Larsson was an unabashed feminist in his personal and professional life and in the fictional world he created, but The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest are full of graphic depictions of violence against women, including stalking, sexual harassment, child abuse, rape, incest, serial murder, sexual slavery, and sex trafficking, committed by vile individual men and by corrupt,

secretive institutions. How do readers and moviegoers react to these depictions, and what do they make of the women who fight back, the complex masculinities in the trilogy, and the ambiguous gender of the elusive Lisbeth Salander? These lively and accessible essays expand the conversation in the blogosphere about the novels and films by connecting the controversies about gender roles to social trends in the real world.

Life histories of women negotiating their identities between two worlds

Transnational Desires
Brazilian Erotic Dancers in New York

An exceptional study based on long-term field research

of the highest quality, Transnational Desires is especially effective in situating the exotic (erotic dancing) within the mundane (the daily lives of the women who are its focus). Maia manages to contextualize the lives of her informants in their more complex existence not just as workers at the bars, but as people struggling to construct meaningful lives, building projects for the present and the future, trying to find happiness in often difficult circumstances. Her description of their emotional relationships, their struggles and searches, should make this an instant classic.
Richard G. Parker, author of Bodies, Pleasures, and Passions: Sexual Culture in Contemporary Brazil

igrant sex workers are commonly cast as victims, moved by desperation to flee poverty and hopelessness in their home country. The Brazilian erotic dancers Suzana Maia presents in Transnational Desires, however, are women from the Brazilian middle classsome of them well-educated professionalswho migrated to the United States not just to better themselves economically but also to realize their personal dreams. Their motivation to migrate and to work as erotic dancers can also be understood in the context of a representational system, inaugurated in colonial times, that emphasizes the exoticism of Brazilian womentheir bodies, their skin tone, their

sexuality. These stereotypes are the props that Brazilian women use to construct their performances in Manhattan and Queens gentlemens bars and the language through which they negotiate their relationships to society at large. Transnational Desires focuses on the lives of nine Brazilian dancers with whom the author, herself a middle-class Brazilian, developed close relationships over the years. Maia examines their social relations both in the bar scene and with family, friends, and lovers outside. She shows that for these women erotic dancing is part of a life trajectory that involves negotiating their social position and life prospects in a fundamentally transnational social universe.

This study of middle-class Brazilian women, their border-crossing migratory experiences as colored by their experiences of class, sexuality, gender, race/ethnicity, and nationality in New York City and Brazil, and their work choices (erotic dancing is better than domestic work) is absolutely fascinating. It is also a good read, full of unexpected twists, sensitive interpretation, rich ethnography, and insightful socioeconomic contextualization.

Anonymous in Their Own Names

Doris E. Fleischman, Ruth Hale, and Jane Grant
susan henry

nonymous in Their Own Names recounts the lives of three women who, while working as their husbands uncredited professional partners, had a profound and enduring impact on the media in the first half of the twentieth century. With her husband, Edward L. Bernays, Doris E. Fleischman helped found and form the field of public relations. Ruth Hale helped her husband, Heywood Broun, become one of the most popular and influential newspaper columnists of the 1920s and 1930s. In 1925 Jane Grant and her husband, Harold Ross, started the New Yorker magazine. Yet these womens achievements have been invisible to countless authors who have written about their husbands. This invisibility is especially ironic given that all three were feminists who kept their birth names when they married as a sign of their equality with their husbands, then battled the government and societal norms to retain their names. Hale and Grant so believed in this cause that in 1921

they founded the Lucy Stone League to help other women keep their names, and Grant and Fleischman revived the league in 1950. This was the same year Grant and her second husband, William Harris, founded White Flower Farm, pioneering at that time and today one of the countrys most celebrated commercial nurseries. Despite strikingly different personalities, the three women were friends and lived in overlapping, immensely stimulating New York City circles. Susan Henry explores their pivotal roles in their husbands extraordinary success and much more, including their problematic marriages and their strategies for overcoming barriers that thwarted many of their contemporaries.

*A splendid, engagingly written work,

based on a wealth of hitherto unexplored archival material. It offers a fascinating account of how the publication and dissemination of Latin American literature in the U.S. were enmeshed in the contradictions of Cold War culture: caught between the desire to support the literary revolution of the Boom writers and the fear of revolutionary politics. Essential reading for all scholars of the Americas.
John King, University of Warwick

Deborah Cohns lucid, meticulous study is a model of historical inquiry and critical acumen. Unprecedented and groundbreaking, in a field still muddled by academics who have not moved beyond political agendas and the careless shortcuts of historical amnesia, is Cohns fair-minded retrospection of what was clearly a fiercely paradoxical era of intense cultural productivity and conflict under the deforming shadow of the Cold War.
Suzanne Jill Levine, author of The Subversive Scribe: Translating Latin American Fiction

uring the 1960s and 1970s, when writers such as Julio Cortzar, Carlos Fuentes, Gabriel Garca Mrquez, and Mario Vargas Llosa entered the international literary mainstream, Cold War cultural politics played an active role in disseminating their work in the United States. Deborah Cohn documents how U.S. universities, book and journal publishers, philanthropic organizations, cultural centers, and authors coordinated their efforts to bring Latin American literature to a U.S. reading public during this period, when interest in the region was heightened by the Cuban Revolution. She also traces the connections between the endeavors of private organizations and official foreign policy goals. The high level of interest in Latin America paradoxically led the U.S. government to restrict these authors physical presence in the United States through the McCarran-Walter Acts immigration blacklist, even as cultural organizations cultivated the exchange of ideas with writers and sought to market translations of their work for the U.S. market.

And numerous nations use the African continent to exercise their colonial muscle and postwar power, only to encounter the financial and military burdens that will exhaust and alienate their own citizenry half a world away. As Race, Ethnicity, and the Cold War reveals, during this dangerous era there were no longer any isolated incidents. Like the butterfly flapping its wings and changing the weather on the other side of the globe, an instance of racial or ethnic hostility had ripple effects across a Cold War world of brinksmanship between bitter national rivals and ideological opponents.

Race, Ethnicity, and the Cold War makes it clear that race, and even racism, was not something uniquely afflicting the United States, and that it can be studied in many other societies, and that it had an impact on the foreign policies of these countries.
Thomas Alan Schwartz, author of Lyndon Johnson and Europe

By uncovering the transnational history of linkages between race, ethnicity, and global conflict, this volume makes clear that the challenge of grappling with, in Obamas words, our teeming, colliding, irksome diversity, marked not just the United States, but many parts of the world. Perhaps recognizing the global nature of this challenge can serve as one step toward confronting the many boundaries that continue to divide human beings from each other and from our shared history.

he lines of armed conflict, and the catastrophic perils they portended, were shaped with shocking clarity in the immediate aftermath of World War II. Less clear is the role religious ideology played in the conflicts that defined the Cold War era. All too often, beliefs held sacred by some became tools to motivate action or create friction. In Religion and the Cold War, Philip Muehlenbeck assembles an international team of specialists to explore how religion informed the ideological and military clashes across the globe in the second half of the twentieth century. Students and scholars will find in this volume a level of comprehensiveness rarely achieved in Cold War studies. Each chapter reveals that the power and influence of ideas are just as important as military might in the struggles between superpowersand that few ideas, then as now, carry as much force as religious ideology. As Muehlenbeck and his contributors demonstrate, no area of the world, and no religious tenet, was safe from the manipulations of a powerful set of players focused solely on their own sphere of influence.

Religion and the Cold War is a crucial reminder that religion shaped the international context of the Cold War for both the United States and the Soviet Union in the decades following World War II. A much-needed collection of essays, this volume demonstrates that nations who resisted the two superpowers often did so through religious organizations and religious visions of their own national communities.
David Zietsma, Redeemer University College

This is an ambitious and stimulating volume that reflects two of the most important trends in the recent study of the Cold War: the role of religion in its development, and its global nature. Bible-bearing balloons launched into the German wind, the surprising relationship between the Soviet state and its four Central Asian muftiates, tensions between South Vietnams Catholic leadership and the majority Buddhist oppositionthese episodes, and many more, add an exciting and essential new dimension to the history of this vital era.

s Carole Browner explains in her foreword: These chapters compellingly reveal that although we anthropologists tend to speak of biomedicine in hegemonic terms, in fact its penetration is quite variable and often ambivalently met. . . . Risk, Reproduction, and Narratives of Experience sheds new light on a troubling core aspect of medicalization processes, which simultaneously render pregnant

women more docile subjects even as they are impelled to actively engage with biomedicalized prenatal care regimes. . . . We also see that a consummate means by which states seek to consolidate power in the reproductive realm is through expansion of the biomedical concept of risk. This critical observation emerges repeatedly in this collection.

he sinister junglethat ill-defined and amorphous place where civilization has no foothold and survival is always in doubtis the terrifying setting for countless works of the imagination. Films like Apocalypse Now, television shows like Lost, and of course stories like Heart of Darkness all pursue the essential question of why the unknown world terrifies adventurer and spectator alike. In Jungle Fever, Charlotte Rogers goes deep into five books that first defined the jungle as a violent and maddening place. The reader finds urban explorers venturing into the wilderness, encountering and living among the native inhabitants, and eventually losing their minds. The canonical works of authors such as Joseph Conrad, Andr Malraux, Jos Eustasio Rivera, and others present jungles and wildernesses as fundamentally corrupting and dangerous. Rogers explores how the methods these authors use to communicate the physical and psychological

maladies that afflict their characters evolved symbiotically with modern medicine. While the wilderness challenges Conrads and Malrauxs European travelers to question their civility and mental stability, Latin American authors such as Alejo Carpentier deftly turn pseudoscientific theories into their greatest asset, as their characters transform madness into an essential creative spark. Ultimately, Jungle Fever suggests that the greatest horror of the jungle is the unknown regions of the characters own mind.

Jungle Fever takes us on a fascinating excursion into

the colonial and postcolonial tropics where we find Conrad and Malraux in the company of Alejo Carpentier, Mario Vargas Llosa, Jorge Luis Borges, and Wilson Harris with many surprises lurking along the way.
Vera Kutzinski, author of Against the American Grain

Jungle Fever isolates, in the novelistic subgenre of the jungle book, a deep strand involving disease, which is at the source of its creative impulse, and where these adventure novels carry out a compelling critique of modern imperialism. Cutting across the English, Latin American, and French traditions this book is a model of the comparative approach.
Roberto Gonzlez Echevarra, Sterling Professor of Hispanic and Comparative Literature, Yale University, and author of Myth and Archive

A fresh conception of womens empowerment through education as a process of recognition, capacity development, and action in a community setting

Opening Minds, Improving Lives

Education and Womens Empowerment in Honduras

May 2012 240 pages, 6 x 9 inches 9 b&w photos, appendix, references, index cloth $59.95s ISBN 978-0-8265-1828-6 paper $29.95s ISBN 978-0-8265-1829-3 ebook $28.99 ISBN 978-0-8265-1830-9

uanita was seventeen years old and preg nant with her first child when she began an activity that would open her mind. Living in a remote Garifuna village in Honduras, Juanita had dropped out of school after the sixth grade. In 1996, a new educational program, Sistema de Aprendizaje Tutorial (Tutorial Learning System or SAT), was started in her community. The program helped her see the world differently and open a small business. Empowering women through education has become a top priority of international development efforts. Erin Murphy-Graham draws on more than a decade of qualitative

research to examine the experiences of Juanita and eighteen other women who participated in the SAT program. Their narratives suggest the simple yet subtle ways education can spark the empowerment process, as well as the role of men and boys in promoting gender equality. Drawing on in-depth interviews and classroom observation in Honduras and Uganda, Murphy-Graham shows the potential of the SAT program to empower women through expanded access and improved quality of secondary education in Latin America and Africa. An appendix provides samples of the classroom lessons.

Based on her years of intensive interviews, Murphy-Graham

teaches us that the right kind of education promotes much more than economic opportunities. We learn about the remarkable ways that women changed: recognizing their own human worth, developing public voices, creating their own businesses, pursuing higher education, and negotiating more egalitarian marriages. This book should be read by everyone interested in the transformational power of education and in gender equality, and by all who seek hope for a better world.
Francine Deutsch, Mt. Holyoke College

A major contribution in helping us turn discussion of empowerment and education away from jargon and cynicism, enhancing our concern with womens struggles for recognition, capabilities, and wider social change.
Elaine Unterhalter, University of London

Erin Murphy-Graham shows how the complex process of empowerment unfolds, and answers the question of how it can take place within an educational program that also prepares students for traditional educational assessments. A valuable contribution to understanding gendered processes of empowerment at school and home.

h e Classic Maya collapse has engendered a great deal of debate over the last decades. This collapse was a highly variable phenomenon that did not affect the whole Maya zone, so the specific events and processes taking place in different regions affected by this transition need further exploration. This volume examines the economic parameters of the collapse in the Petexbatun region from the eighth through the eleventh centuries A.D. through the lens of ceramic manufacture, production, consumption, and exchange. It explores this critical time period through ceramic analysis, including type: variety classification, standardization studies, and chemical provenance research. These ceramic data are then used to reevaluate different models explaining the Classic Maya collapsethe foreign invasion theory, the commercialization hypothesis, and the internal warfare model. The authors conclude that the internal warfare model has the most support.

his broad-ranging exploration argues that there was a special preoccupation with the nature and limits of poetry in early modern Spain and Europe, as well as especially vigorous poetic activity in this period. Contrary to what one might read in Hegel, the prosification of the world has remained an unfinished affair.

Gunshots at the Fiesta

Literature and Politics in Latin America
M a a r t e n va n D e l D e n a n D Y v o n G r e n i e r

he product of a unique collaboration between a literary critic (van Delden) and a political scientist (Grenier), this book looks at the relationship between literature and politics in Latin America, a region where these two domains exist in closer proximity than perhaps anywhere else in the Western world. The apparently seamless blending of literature and politics is reflected in the explicitly political content of much of the continents writing, as well as in the highly visible political roles played by many Latin American intellectuals.
Maarten van Delden isProfessorandChairofspanishandPortugueseat UClaandauthorofCarlos Fuentes, Mexico, and Modernity(VanderbiltUniversity Press,1998).

Spirited and unsparing, Gunshots at the Fiesta takes dead aim at the politicization of Latin American literary studies. Offering a sharp critique of this trend, the authors point the way toward a more nuanced view of the complicated sometimes conflictedrelation between the aesthetic and the political.
