Civil Rights / BiogRaphy

“A hero and a martyr, Evers was also a complicated man torn between his activist impulses and the conserva-tive mandates of his NAACP bosses in New York. Williams captures Medgar Evers in all his complexity in this well written, solidly researched, important book.”

—John Dittmer, author of Local People: The Struggle forCivil Rights in Mississippi

Medgar eversMississippi MartyrMichael Vinson Williams

“Michael Williams’s book provides the first scholarly full-length treat-ment of this iconic Mississippi civil rights leader, and it is a fitting tribute, providing the depth, detail, and texture hitherto missing from Evers’s life story.” —John a. Kirk, chair and Donaghey Professor of History, University of Arkansas at Little Rock

Civil rights activist Medgar Wiley Evers was well aware of the dangers he would face when he challenged the status quo in Mississippi in the 1950s and ‘60s, a place and time known for the brutal murders of Emmett Till, Reverend George Lee, Lamar Smith, and others. Nonetheless, Evers consistently investigated the rapes, murders, beatings, and lynchings of black Mississippians and reported the horrid incidents to a national audience, all the while organizing economic boycotts, sit-ins, and street protests in Jackson as the NAACP’s first full-time Mississippi field secretary. He organized and participated in voting drives and nonviolent direct-action protests, joined lawsuits to overturn state-supported school segregation, and devoted himself to a career that cost him his life. This biography of a lesser-known but seminal civil rights leader draws on personal interviews from Myrlie Evers-Williams (Evers’s widow), his two remaining siblings, friends, grade-school-to-college schoolmates, and fellow activists to elucidate Evers as an individual, leader, husband, brother, and father. Extensive archival work in the Evers Papers, the NAACP Papers, oral history collections, FBI files, Citizen Council collec-tions, and the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission Papers, to list a few, provides a detailed account of Evers’s NAACP work and a clearer understanding of the racist environment that ultimately led to his murder. Selfless dedication marked the life of Medgar Evers, and while this remains his story, it is also a testament to the important role that grass-roots activism played in exacting social change during some of America’s most turbulent and violent times.

Michael vinson Williams is assistant professor of history and African American studies at Mississippi State University.

Camp nineA NovelVivienne Schiffer

“Camp Nine beautifully captures a sense of time and place that resonates with authenticity. It shows an intimate familiarity with the internment camp at Rohwer—how the camp came to be situated in such a remote part of Arkansas, life within the camp, and the feelings of the Japanese Americans held captive there, as well as what life was like in the 1940s for the locals outside. It is a perspective that has never been presented. I love this book and recommend it as a must-read.” —Delphine hirasuna, author of The Art of Gaman: Arts and Crafts from the Japanese American Internment Camps, 1942 – 1946

“Through the prisms of place, family, race, class, power, and privilege, Vivienne Schiffer skillfully constructs a necessarily complicated portrait of the era into a meaningful mosaic and satisfying story.” —grif stockley, author of Ruled by Race: Black/White Relations in Arkansas from Slavery to the Present (University of Arkansas Press)

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 authorizing the secretary of war to prescribe military zones “from which any or all persons may be excluded.” Eventually this order was applied to one-third of the land area in the United States, mostly in the West, clearing the way for the relocation of 120,000 people of Japanese descent. This time of fear and prejudice (the U.S. government formally apolo-gized for the relocations in 1982 after determining they were not a mili-tary necessity) and the Arkansas Delta are the setting for Camp Nine. The novel’s narrator, Chess Morton, lives in tiny Rook, Arkansas. Her days are quiet and secluded until the appearance of a relocation center built for what was in effect the imprisonment of thousands of Japanese Americans. Chess’s life becomes intertwined with those of two young internees, and that of an American soldier mysteriously connected to her mother’s past. As Chess watches the struggles and triumphs of these strangers and sees her mother seek justice for these people who came briefly and involuntarily to call the Arkansas Delta their home, she discovers surpris-ing and disturbing truths about her family’s painful past.

Winks and DaggersAn Inside Look at Another Year in BoxingThomas Hauser

“Virtually every piece is notable for its carefully drawn characters who will linger on the edges of readers’ minds long after the book has been shelved. As always, Hauser is the best.” —Booklist on Boxing Is. . . , 2010

Thomas Hauser’s annual collections have been avidly anticipated from the time A Beautiful Sickness was published by the University of Arkansas Press in 2001 until his most recent collection, Boxing Is . . . , was named a 2010 Best Sports Book of the Year by Booklist, which has called Hauser “the current champ in boxing literature.” Sportswriter Donald McRae recently wrote, “Thomas Hauser has become boxing’s indispensable writer with a stream of books and inter-net columns that strip away the layers of intrigue to reveal a seamy but addictive world. Whether writing Muhammad Ali’s biography, or shred-ding boxing’s power brokers, Hauser instills passion and gravitas into his work.” Winks and Daggers continues that tradition with Hauser’s writing from 2010. Hauser brings readers into Manny Pacquiao’s intimate circle in the moments before last year’s two biggest fights. His award-winning inves-tigative journalism exposes the inner workings of HBO Sports and exam-ines the use of performance-enhancing drugs in boxing. There’s a look back in time at Rocky Marciano and Sugar Ray Leonard. And there’s much more in this latest collection in the series that has become, according to reviewer Bart Barry, “an essential part of boxing’s official record and the chronicles of this era most likely to endure.”

thomas hauser is the author of forty-two books. His first work, Missing, was made into an Academy Award–winning film. He later authored Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times, the definitive biography of the most famous fighter ever. In 2004, the Boxing Writers Association of America honored Hauser with the Nat Fleischer Award for Career Excellence in Boxing Journalism.

Dearest lettyThe World War II Love Letters of Sgt. Leland DuvallEdited by Ernie Dumas

Leland Duvall was a now-and-again farm worker with a grade-school education when he received his World War II draft notice at his father’s farm near Moreland, Arkansas, in March of 1942. He departed for train-ing in California, where he began to write to Letty Jones, a Pottsville girl he’d had a crush on for several years. From the first correspondence through the end of the war, Leland sent Letty a torrent of letters, hun-dreds of careful and undeniably heartfelt missives—utterly tender but never sentimental, reliably charming and gently humorous—written daily from desert sands, pup tents, hospital beds, armored cars, and bombed-out buildings. That Duvall’s writing is a tour de force of wit, elegance, and erudition is all the more poignant because he was a man who was almost entirely self-taught. The letters, discovered by Duvall’s daughter four years after his death in 2010, are here enriched by his longtime friend and colleague Ernie Dumas, who provides facts about where Duvall was and the perils he endured while penning his epistles, information that was often missing in dispatches that were necessarily censored and always guided by Duvall’s effort not to bore or worry his “dearest Letty.” Duvall’s lively intelligence and obvious joy in writing come through on every page, joining with vividness the patina of the time and the bright shine of a timeless love affair.

leland Duvall was a member of the 85th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squad-ron from 1942 to 1945. After the war, he pursued a career in journalism and wrote for several Arkansas newspapers, including the Arkansas Gazette.

ernie Dumas is a columnist for the Arkansas Times and former associate editor and reporter for the Arkansas Gazette. He is the editor of The Clin-tons of Arkansas and cowriter with Tom Glaze of Waiting for the Cemetery Vote (University of Arkansas Press).

a Cry for JusticeDaniel Rudd and His Life in Black Catholicism, Journalism, and Activism, 1854–1933Gary B. Agee

Daniel A. Rudd, born a slave in Bardstown, Kentucky, grew up to achieve much in the years following the Civil War. His Catholic faith, passion for activism, and talent for writing led him to increasingly influential posi-tions in many places. One of his important early accomplishments was the publication of the American Catholic Tribune, which Rudd referred to as “the only Catholic journal owned and published by colored men.” At its zenith, the Tribune, run out of Detroit and Cincinnati, where Rudd lived, had ten thousand subscribers, making it one of the most successful black newspapers in the country. Rudd was also active in the leadership of the Afro-American Press Association, and he was a founding member of the Catholic Press Association. By 1889, Rudd was one of the nation’s best-known black Catholics. His work was endorsed by a number of high-ranking church officials in Europe as well as in the United States, and he was one of the founders of the Lay Catholic Congress movement. Later, his travels took him to Bolivar County, Mississippi, and eventually on to Forrest City, Arkansas, where he worked for the well-known black farmer and businessperson, Scott Bond, and eventually co-wrote Bond’s biography.

gary B. agee is adjunct professor of church history at Anderson School of Theology, Anderson University.

histoRy / Civil WaR

Worthy of the Cause forWhich they FightThe Civil War Diary of Brigadier General Harris Reynolds, 1861–1865Edited by Robert Patrick Bender

“Historians increasingly argue that the Civil War was won/lost in the West. They will, thus, be pleased to have in print yet another source of information on this theater of war: D. H. Reynolds’s diary. It is a welcome and important publication that will find a ready audience among historians and buffs.” —John F. Marszalek, executive director and managing editor of the Ulysses S. Grant Association, Mississippi State University.

Worthy of the Cause for Which They Fight chronicles the experiences of a well-educated and articulate Confederate officer from Arkansas who witnessed the full evolution of the Civil War in the Trans-Mississippi Department and western theater. Daniel Harris Reynolds, a community leader with a thriving law practice in Chicot County, entered service in 1861 as a captain in command of Company A of the First Arkansas Mounted Rifles. Reynolds saw action at Wilson’s Creek and Pea Ridge before the regiment was dismounted and transferred to the Army of Tennessee, the primary Confederate force in the western theater. As Reynolds fought through the battles of Chickamauga, Atlanta, Nashville, and Bentonville, he consistently kept a diary in which he described the harsh realities of battle, the shifting fortunes of war, and the personal and political conflicts that characterized and sometimes divided the soldiers. The result is a significant testimonial offering valuable insights into the nature of command from the company to brigade levels, expressed by a committed Southerner coming to grips with the realities of defeat and the ultimate demoralization of surrender.

Robert patrick Bender is a history instructor at Eastern New Mexico University–Roswell. He is the author of Like Grass before the Scythe: The Life and Death of Sgt. William Remmel, 121st New York Infantry.

In Halal Pork and Other Stories, Kaan projects an avant garde, post 9/11 world, from the perspective of a young Muslim New Yorker. It’s a place where Coney Island meets Mars; where hijabi girls are punk rock dervishes, where identity salesmen count pigeons at insane asylums as a cream cheese conspiracy brews in Gitmo, where rich boys pay to be Muslim for a day, where the transgendered are holy, and where the bacon is halal.

sacred spacesThe Architecture of Fay JonesWritten and produced by Larry Foley and Dale Carpenter

Fay Jones of Fayetteville, Arkansas, studied under the great Frank Lloyd Wright, and eventually ascended to heights rivaling his master’s. Jones became one of the most acclaimed and signifi-cant architects of the late twentieth century. He won the prestigious AIA Gold Medal in 1990, awarded for a lifetime of work that included his masterpiece, Thorncrown Chapel, a “little glass chapel” near the quaint village of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Thorncrown was recognized in 2000 by the AIA as the fourth most significant structure of the twentieth century. Sacred Spaces is a one-hour documentary film produced by the Emmy Award–winning documentary film team of Larry Foley and Dale Carpenter, both professors of journalism at the University of Arkansas, the same school where Jones worked for much of his distinguished career as an academician and practicing architect. Emmy Award–winner Kevin Croxton composed the musical score.

the Buffalo FlowsThe Story of Our First National RiverWritten and produced by Larry Foley, photography by Trey Marley, edited by Dale Carpenter

Folk singer Jimmy Driftwood called the Buffalo River “Arkansas’s gift to the nation—America’s gift to the world.” It was the first national river to be designated in the United States (1972). The Buffalo Flows is a one-hour documentary film written and produced by two-time Emmy award–winning filmmaker Larry Foley, professor of journalism at the University of Arkansas. Academy Award–winner Ray McKinnon narrates. Internationally known as an outstanding canoe stream, this 135-mile river, free of dams, is so much more, and the film captures what is protected. The story is about the bluffs and the trees, the flowers and the birds, and the giant elk. It’s about hiking and floating and camping and fish-ing. And it’s also about the people who make their homes in Buffalo River country year round, and have for generations.

Adol-phine Fletcher Terry died in Little Rock, Arkansas, in July of 1976, at the age of ninety-three. Her life was a monument to progress in the South, particularly in her native state of Arkansas, a place she once described as “holy ground.”

Blue sabineA Novel Gerald Duff

Blue Sabine is a story of five generations of women in the same family, told in their voices, along with those of some men of Holt blood. It is set along the Sabine River, which divides the state of Texas from Louisiana and the Deep South. From 1867 (when the Holts first came to Texas) to the present, the novel chronicles the emotional lives of grandmothers, mothers, daughters, and nieces, all bound by kinship and history. Each comes to terms with being a woman in the West, in Texas, and in her own way and her own time. In its flow and its setting of boundaries, the Sabine River comes to reflect what remains and what changes in the way the Holt women see their world and themselves. “The river forever flows, and it pulls at all it touches,” one of the characters says, “yet it never leaves, and it never stays.” Two twenty-first century descendants give the narrative its overall shape and connection: Clement, an award-winning movie director, and his cousin Kay-Phuong, a woman of Vietnamese and Holt lineage, who has made herself into a fashion model and actress. They have returned to the Valley of the Sabine, where the Holts have lived for almost two hundred years, to hear once more the old stories and to confirm their own part in the saga. They seek to understand and to play their role in the continuing telling and retelling of the narratives that bind them to their family and to the past.

“Blue Sabine is a big, spellbinding novel, as deep and complex as the Texas river for which it’s named. The mystery and relevance of the past is Gerald Duff’s great theme, as he masterfully traces one family’s history from the Civil War to the present day. His great characters are all astonishing storytellers, with true and compelling voices that will ring in my head forever.” —Lee Smith, author of Mrs. Darcy and the Blue-Eyed Stranger and On Agate Hill “Blue Sabine [is] a veritable saga of insights, intimacies and intimations. The characters are obsessed with their family, and the reader is completely caught up in this American story set in the historic valley of the Sabine.” —Roy Blount Jr., author of Alphabetter Juice: The Joy of Text

gerald Duff grew up in the petro-chemical area of the Gulf Coast and the pine barrens of Deep East Texas. He worked as a hand in the oil fields and the cotton fields, as a janitor, as a TV cameraman, as a professor of English, as a college dean, and as a bit actor in television drama. Blue Sabine is his seventh novel. His other titles include Indian Giver; That’s All Right, Mama: The Unauthorized Life of Elvis’s Twin; Memphis Ribs, and Coasters.

RECENT AND NOTABLE HISTORYagitationsIdeologies and Strategies in African American PoliticsKevin R. Anderson“A brilliant conceptual analysis of African American political thought that relates how three ideological systems have structured the organizational response strategies of the National Association for the Ad-vancement of Colored People, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the Student Nonvio-lent Coordinating Committee. Anderson brings to political philosophy and theory a bold and innovative new concept of his own: ‘political agitations’.”—Journal of American History$34.95 (s) cloth978-1-55728-926-1

arkansas / arkansawHow Bear Hunters, Hillbillies, and Good Ol’ Boys Defined a StateBrooks Blevins “A book about the image of one state but tells us much about the complex nature of stereotyping wherever it occurs.

Finding the lost yearWhat Happened When Little Rock Closed Its Public SchoolsSondra Gordy“Gordy has written an important book on the ‘lost year,’ when Arkansas governor Orval Faubus closed the Little Rock high schools to prevent them from integrating. Gordy narrates the events of that year very nicely, and, using extensive interviews with former students, administrative records, and newspaper accounts, she is able to show the frustrations and fears of white and black students, school administra-tors, teachers, and parents.” —Journal of American History$29.95 (s) cloth978-1-55728-900-1

showdown in DesireThe Black Panthers Take a Stand in New OrleansOrissa Arend“Its great strength is its ability to weave multiple viewpoints into the narrative, providing a nuanced, bal-anced perspective on the Black Panther Party.

With all Deliberate speedImplementing Brown V. Board of EducationEdited by Brian J. Daugherity and Charles C. Bolton“Brown v. Board of Education (1954) may well be the greatest and most morally inspiring decision issued by the U.S. Supreme Court in its history. But it is also a decision wherein, preeminently, the devil lies in the details—in the story of how Brown was implemented and of how the decision shaped both educa-tion and society in states where schools had formerly been segregated by law. Therefore, this volume of thorough and excellent essays is especially valuable.”—Journal of Southern History$27.50 (s) paper978-1-55728-869-1
