LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR It is an honor and a privilege to introduce myself as the next director of the University of Illinois Press. I am delighted to join this truly exceptional team in writing the next chapter of a press that, alongside the University of Illinois System, strives to be altogether extraordinary. For over one hundred years, the Press has served society and scholarship by publishing books and journals that educate and inform, that expand our perspectives and broaden our horizons. With the rise of misinformation and a deepening societal divide, our commitment to intellectual freedom and research is more essential than ever. In the past year, the University of Illinois Press published books that proposed collaborative pathways to sustainability, sung the stories of the migrants who cultivate South Chicago, and investigated the dramatic impact of COVID-19 on American labor. Our books won over 37 books awards in the same period, including the 2024 Lambda Literary Award for Best Book in LGBTQ+ Studies awarded to The Sexual Politics of Empire, by Erin L. Durban and the 2024 North American Society for Sport History Book Award awarded to Beyond the Black Power Salute, by Gregory J. Kaliss. Our journals delved into the history of the Illinois Freedom Corridor, the ethics of artificial intelligence, and the complex relationship between the Olympics and environmental sustainability.* Our Spring-Summer 2026 catalog builds on our deep commitment to making research and knowledge accessible to all readers, capturing untold aspects of our history, elevating diverse voices, and fostering intellectual curiosity. Taken together, these books invite you to learn, to explore, and to build on their knowledge. I hope that you will join us in this journey—reading, researching, and writing to better understand each other and our history and to expand our thinking to envision a brighter future.

RELIGION / ETHICS
WHEN THE GOOD LIFE GOES BAD
The US and Its Seven Deadly Sins
STACEY M. FLOYD-THOMAS Foreword by Michael Eric Dyson Understanding and redeeming the tainted pursuit of the American Dream “Floyd-Thomas is the premier womanist ethicist of her generation and with this book a much wider audience will learn what we all know—she is one of the best teachers and Christian ethicists in the world. Here is the book for every classroom, from undergraduates to graduate students, from high schools to churches—let freedom from the seven deadly sins ring!” —WILLIE JAMES JENNINGS, author of After Whiteness: An Education in Belonging The Seven Deadly Sins have become the seven markers of success in America. Lust, pride, greed, sloth, envy, gluttony, wrath—these once-condemned principles now guide people’s pursuit of the good life. Stacey M. Floyd-Thomas examines how the Seven Deadly Sins have shaped the moral strivings and sociopolitical condition of American society and culture in the twenty-first century. Drawing on a multidimensional approach, Floyd-Thomas uses race, gender, class, and other lenses to break down the moral crises that define the American Dream. Her critique exposes the harm done by individual and collective practices of sexual objectification, capitalist materialism, wealth inequality, and technological hubris before pivoting to the rise of right-wing populism, white Christian nationalism, and the politics of cruelty. But Floyd-Thomas also proposes an ethic that emphasizes truth-telling, community engagement, and values rooted in humility, justice, and mercy—a new path for the US to overcome systemic oppression and create a more just society.

FOOD / MIDWEST
SWEET, TART, AND GOLDEN Apples in the Midwestern Imagination
LUCY M. LONG Understanding the fruit that changed the Midwest “Sweet, Tart, and Golden is a fascinating narrative of place, food, and region in the American Midwest. Through the lens of the seemingly ‘ordinary’ apple, folklorist Lucy Long argues that Midwesterners have plenty to say about agricultural economies, industrialization, sustainable food systems, and the meaning of heritage. As Long writes, ‘just like people, apples and the Midwest are full of contradictions and complexities that are not visible at first.’ This wonderful book unveils apple stories that are at the heart of both the Midwestern and American experience.” —MARCIE COHEN FERRIS, editor of Edible North Carolina: A Journey across a State of Flavor Whether Jonagolds or Ida Reds, the apple provides Midwesterners with both a versatile food and a powerful archetype of their culture and heritage. Lucy M. Long examines the ubiquitous fruit’s place in regional culture and its role in how people in the Midwest think of themselves and the wider world. Long guides readers to festivals and introduces them to orchard owners while tracing the history of how apples became a central part of Midwesterners’ landscape, leisure, tables, and way of life. Johnny Appleseed folklore, sustainability and the apple business, the meanings behind the Grand Rapids Applebutter Fest, a recipe for apple caramel cheesecake—Long reveals a quintessential American fruit in all its glory. Lively and surprising, Sweet, Tart, and Golden blends food history with on-the- ground exploration to tell the multifaceted story of the apple. LUCY M. LONG is the founder and director of the Center for Food and Culture. Her books include Culinary Tourism: Eating and Otherness.

MUSIC / BIOGRAPHY
ANNOUNCING SOON
BUZZ BUSBY
Father of Washington, DC, Bluegrass
KIP LORNELL and TOM MINDTE From the bayou to bluegrass with a legendary mandolin player “Buzz Busby approached performance and life with maximum intensity. Kip Lornell and Tom Mindte’s definitive biography captures both the tragedy that hobbled his career and the artistry that made him a cult figure among bluegrass aficionados.” —FRED BARTENSTEIN, coeditor of Industrial Strength Bluegrass: Southwestern Ohio’s Musical Legacy Buzz Busby’s move to Washington, D.C., in 1951 helped launch bluegrass in the nation’s capital while the intensity of his mandolin playing drew raves for its unrelenting pace and innovative style. His high lonesome singing rivaled that of Bill Monroe. Kip Lornell and Tom Mindte draw on interviews and some fifty hours of Busby speaking about his life to tell the story of a largely forgotten bluegrass virtuoso. Busby and his band the Bayou Boys stood front and center on a mid-1950s D.C.-area TV show that, though short-lived, catalyzed the formation of the city’s bluegrass community. Time with the Louisiana Hayride and classic if little-heard bluegrass sides like “Lonesome Wind” seemed to promise a bright future. But a devastating car wreck and a host of legal and personal troubles triggered a long decline into drug and alcohol abuse that undermined Busby’s career and led him to sum up, “I started at the top and diligently worked my way to the bottom.” Entertaining and vivid, Buzz Busby tells the story of a musician’s musician and his hardscrabble life in bluegrass.

ARCHITECTURE / BIOGRAPHY
DANIEL BURNHAM AND LOUIS SULLIVAN
Personal Histories of Two Icons of American Architecture
TRYGVE THORESON Connecting the origins and outcomes of genius “Trygve Thoreson gives us a fresh and consistently enlightening look at these two iconic figures in modern American architecture and city planning by viewing their careers, including their challenging relationship with each other, in the context of their private lives and thoughts. Thoroughly researched, gracefully written, and consistently insightful, this book is essential to a full understanding of Burnham, Sullivan, their work, their Chicago, and their transformative era.” —CARL SMITH, author of The Plan of Chicago: Daniel Burnham and the Remaking of the American City Peers, foils, colleagues, and rivals—Daniel Burnham and Louis Sullivan’s impact on each other still expresses itself in architectural masterworks that anchor Chicago’s cityscape. Trygve Thoreson’s parallel biography places their lives and careers within a panoramic history of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Thoreson delves into their influences while bringing to life the social, intellectual, and cultural milieus of their time. Unearthing a wealth of personal details, Thoreson pays particular attention to the influences that formed Burnham and Sullivan and shaped not only their designs but their conception of themselves as artists. He also examines the confluence of historical forces that pulled the two men together and pushed them apart—a fruitful back-and-forth that built surprising links into their work and steered world architecture in bold new directions.

ARCHITECTURE / NATURE
JENS JENSEN
Nature’s Artist
WILLIAM H. TISHLER A biography of the influential landscape architect “This book is a beautifully written addition to the growing literature about the life and contributions made by the renowned landscape architect Jens Jensen in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Following the collection of Jensen’s writings in Jens Jensen: Writings Inspired by Nature, noted landscape historian William H. Tishler details key aspects of Jensen’s life: his immigration to the US and early life here, his conservation activities in the Midwest and across the country, and the founding of his school The Clearing in Door County, Wisconsin. For anyone with an interest in Jensen’s legacy and contributions, this companion book is sure to be a must-read!” —ROBERT E. GRESE, author of Jens Jensen: Maker of Natural Parks and Gardens Celebrated as one of the great landscape architects of his era, Jens Jensen drew on his love of nature to transform Illinois and the Midwest. Chicago’s Columbus Park and the Lincoln Memorial Garden in Springfield, Illinois, remain part of his vast living legacy while Jensen’s conservation work influenced the establishment of national parks and natural spaces. A member of the Prairie School, Jensen’s affinity for nature found expression not only in public spaces but in his estate designs for Henry Ford and other industrialists. William H. Tishler tracks Jensen’s career and provides a wealth of new information on his personal life: his fierce dislike of and independence from the eastern establishment, and his bold proposals for the Indiana Dunes and other spaces. Tishler also examines Jensen’s semi-retirement in Door County and his creation of The Clearing, a folk school devoted to connecting human beings with nature.

AMERICAN HISTORY / POLITICS / MIDWEST
WHEN DEMOCRATS WON THE HEARTLAND
Progressive Populism in the Age of Reagan, 1978–1992
CORY HAALA Understanding a broad-based liberal response to resurgent right-wing politics “Among the most timely and necessary works I have encountered from the emerging new generation of historians of the Midwest. Haala shines a bright light on the part of Midwestern political history that has been forgotten and is at risk of even being erased: the long-lasting, unique, and essential history of the progressive left. Furthermore, his use of local archival sources is remarkable, his writing fluid, and his enthusiasm for the topic infectious.” —CATHERINE STOCK, author of Rural Radicals: Righteous Rage in the American Grain
APRIL 2026 325 PAGES. 6.125 X 9.25 INCHES
In the 1980s, the Midwestern economic collapse caused by the farm crisis and deindustrialization inspired the region’s liberal politicians to call on progressive populist traditions to rebuild local, state, and national Democratic parties. Cory Haala looks at the Midwest’s central role in asserting an updated populism wielded by grassroots activists, politicians, and a wide-ranging coalition of voters to counter Reagan-era conservativism.
HARDCOVER, 978-0-252-04952-1 $125.00x £112.00
This left-oriented movement resurrected the imagery and policies of twentieth- century radical parties like the Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party and Robert La Follette’s Wisconsin Idea. Delving into progressive populist ideas and tactics, Haala illuminates the work of the activists and politicians who led protests, founded a congressional caucus, and backed presidential campaigns that sought to advance their cause. Haala’s account moves from Iron Range union halls to Iowa farmhouses to South Dakota reservations to revise views of Democratic Party history, the Midwest’s political culture, and populism’s role in US politics.

IN THE SPIRIT OF ALINSKY
Community Organizing’s Fight to Strengthen Democracy
ROBERT T. GANNETT JR. A blueprint for productive activism from a longtime big-city organizer “Robert T. Gannett Jr. brings the Community Organization Movement to life with the passion and authority you expect from one of its main actors. This is an important story, and he is uniquely positioned to tell it.” —OLIVIER ZUNZ, author of The Man Who Understood Democracy: The Life of Alexis de Tocqueville Community-based organizing stands at a crossroads at a time when anti- democratic headwinds and authoritarian impulses threaten American society as never before. Robert T. Gannett Jr. draws on a forty-year career as a grassroots activist to make an impassioned plea for citizens to create the robust infrastructure of organizing that is necessary to sustain modern-day democracy. As Gannett shows, the methods pioneered by legendary activist Saul Alinsky provide the means for channeling citizens’ anger and frustration into meaningful social change. Gannett weaves his personal journey as an “outside agitator” through in-depth studies of successful and unsuccessful campaigns. Gannett places financial sustainability, political independence, and a commitment to process as much as to purpose at the core of organizing. He also focuses on the importance of veterans mentoring the next generation to meet the challenges of the future.

LATINA/O/X STUDIES / LABOR HISTORY
DANGEROUS MIGRATION Mexican Labor and the Fight for Immigrant Rights
ELADIO B. BOBADILLA A social, political, and intellectual history of the immigrant rights struggle in the U.S. “Insightful, engaging, and deeply researched. Bobadilla offers a much-needed corrective to simplistic caricatures and hyper-politicized discussions of immigration.” —ALLYSON BRANTLEY, author of Brewing a Boycott: How a Grassroots Coalition Fought Coors and Remade American Consumer Activism In the post-WWII years, many Mexican Americans viewed undocumented immigration as a threat to their communities. Yet the interplay among Mexican migrants, Mexican Americans, and white Americans eventually produced a vibrant immigrant-oriented activist movement inspired by larger struggles for civil and human rights. Beginning with Mexican American opposition to the Bracero Program, Eladio B. Bobadilla traces the movement’s fault lines that formed around the issue of undocumented workers. Bobadilla reveals how internationalist and human rights discourse influenced the rise of the Chicano movement and its defense of Mexican undocumented immigrants. As time passed, anti-Mexican social, political, and legislative forces produced a nativist backlash that put immigration at the center of the United States’ culture wars and created the fantasy of undocumented workers as an existential threat. Engaging and vivid, Dangerous Migration illuminates the history of debates over Mexican labor, the emergence of the immigrant rights activism, and the nativist movements that united Latinos with right-wing white Americans. ELADIO B. BOBADILLA is an assistant professor of history at the University of Pittsburgh.

MORMON STUDIES / RELIGION
MORMON GARMENTS
Sacred and Secret
NANCY ROSS, JESSICA FINNIGAN, and LARISSA KANNO KINDRED An insider’s view of a misunderstood symbol of faith “The authors mine a giant data collection to record the daily life experiences of LDS adherents who wear temple garments. Their analysis does an excellent job of analyzing the gender implications of the survey results while opening up in-depth explorations of the relationship between garments and beliefs, the tension between secrecy and sacredness exposed through wearing garments, the relationship between church teachings and modesty, and the interplay between obedience and agency when garments function as a religious technology.” —AMY DEROGATIS, author of Saving Sex: Sexuality and Salvation in American Evangelicalism The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints requires that adult members wear garments under their clothes day and night. Though a central practice, the wearing of garments exists behind a wall of silence, as Church authorities and LDS culture discourage discussion of such a sacred matter. Nancy Ross, Jessica Finnigan, and Larissa Kanno Kindred draw on a survey of over 4,500 Church members and their own backgrounds to explore the multifaceted meanings and experiences of Mormon garments. As the authors show, garments also function as a tool of social control that shapes behavior and reinforces conformity around sexuality. The diverse lived experiences of Saints reveal how belief and gender intersect with feelings of secrecy, shame, and obedience while creating complexities for LDS members as they navigate questions of faith, identity, and agency. In addition, the authors call for greater understanding of the people grappling with tensions between personal customs and religious expectation.

WOMEN, GENDER, AND SEXUALITY STUDIES / AVIATION
LADY DAREDEVILS
American Women and Early Aviation
BARBARA GANSON Returning women to their place in aviation history “Ganson provides an excellent comprehensive work on women’s contributions to United States aviation from the early 1900s through the 1930s. The narrative shines in presenting pilots and airline industry workers as independent women that traversed discrimination to carve out spaces for themselves.” —ERINN MCCOMB, author of Gender and the Race for Space: Masculinity and the American Astronaut, 1957–1983 Though often restricted as aviators, women helped build a stable aircraft industry that became the envy of the world. Barbara Ganson delves into the lives of the women whose work as test pilots, flight school owner- operators, airport managers, and in other roles impacted and reflected larger trends in society. Women aviators challenged social norms that considered them inept with machinery and incapable of handling early flight’s very real dangers. Ganson follows how the New Woman ethos of freedom of movement and career inspired engagement with aviation. Despite resistance, women pushed limits by setting records for speed, altitude, distance, and endurance. The fashions of airwomen, meanwhile, reflected changing attitudes of women toward traditional roles and the pursuit of their career aspirations. Informed by interviews and rare archival information, Lady Daredevils tells the stories of the pioneering women of early aviation history and reveals their dynamic interactions with social and technological change. BARBARA GANSON is a professor of history at Florida Atlantic University. She is the author of Texas Takes Wing: A Century of Flight in the Lone Star State.

LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES / GIRLHOOD STUDIES
QUINCEAÑERAS
Latinidades and Girlhood in Popular Culture
Edited by JILLIAN M. BÁEZ, DIANA LEON-BOYS, and ANGHARAD N. VALDIVIA The media and meanings surrounding a cultural celebration “The approach to quinceañeras is deeply interdisciplinary, intersectional, comparative, and transnational. The approaches and themes are cutting-edge, and the chapters are written by a stellar group of researchers who represent many of the best senior and junior scholars in the field. A uniquely compelling and timely collection.” —MARÍA ELENA CEPADA, coeditor of Reimagining US Colombianidades: Transnational Subjectivities, Cultural Expressions, and Political Contestations From dramas to reality TV to advertising, quinceañeras are familiar across mainstream media in the United States. The celebration event for fifteen-year-old girls has evolved over time and today is immersed in gender politics and consumer culture while speaking to Latina/o/x assertions of culture, belonging, tradition, and assimilation. Jillian M. Báez, Diana Leon-Boys, and Angharad N. Valdivia edit a collection that draws on the expanding field of girlhood studies to examine the increasing visibility of the event and the figure of the quinceañera herself in pop culture. The contributors focus on quinceañeras as a trope for English-language media’s treatment of Latina girlhoods and Latinx cultures but also examine how use of the quinceañera charts deepening openness and inclusivity within Latinx culture.

BLEACHER SEATS AND LUXURY SUITES
Democracy and Division at the Twentieth-Century Ballpark
SETH S. TANNENBAUM Restricting the ballpark experience “Seth Tannenbaum’s Bleacher Seats and Luxury Suites arrives right on time. At a moment when sports franchise owners and politicians continue to tout the public benefits of stadium construction, Tannenbaum offers a useful history of the longstanding exclusionary dynamics embedded in the fan experience. This is an important book that should be read by scholars and fans alike.” —FRANK ANDRE GURIDY, author of The Stadium: An American History of Politics, Protest, and Play Celebrated as a democratic space for all Americans, the major league ballpark in fact privileged the middle-and upper-class white male fan while tacitly marginalizing poor urban residents and people of color. Seth S. Tannenbaum examines how the game’s economically and socially stratified system reflected changing understandings of urban space, inclusion, and the body politic. Major League Baseball owners and executives masked exclusion and division by touting the game’s accessibility and instituting few overtly discriminatory policies. Affluent white males enjoyed a comfortable, safe space that reinforced their status as the prototypical American citizen. At the same time, ballparks relocated in response to how these favored fans felt about cities. Tannenbaum traces this journey from the urban locales of the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium through the suburban-oriented Dodger Stadium and Houston Astrodome to the cloistered fantasy of city life offered by Camden Yards.

MARRIAGE MAKING NEWS
Working Women and Millionaire Men in the Progressive Era
CAROLE SROLE Unlikely marriages in the papers “Srole’s fascinating premise, clever methodology, and significant insights shape a compelling account of how marriages between millionaires and working-class women illuminate anxiety about gender and class transformation during the Progressive era.” —ALISON LEFKOVITZ, author of Strange Bedfellows: Marriage in the Age of Women’s Liberation The couplings of millionaires with stenographers, servants, and other so-called working girls supplied early twentieth-century newspapers with sensational headlines and swarms of eager readers. Carole Srole delves into how the media prominence and popularity of these unions reflected unease over the rapid changes shaking American society. Women’s desire for autonomy, a rising divorce rate, the declining power of the upper class, new ideas of beauty and sexuality—newspaper tales of cross-class nuptials brought a host of anxieties about gender and class to the front page. Srole focuses particular attention on the economic changes faced by working-class women while also surveying newspaper attacks on their morality and womanhood, and their complicity in their own poverty. As she shows, working women and their advocates persevered by asserting an independence they pursued through union activism, professionalism, land ownership, and filling traditionally male jobs.

Women at the Federated Press
VICTORIA M. GRIEVE Women’s impact on an organization and a movement “Victoria Grieve gives us a deeper understanding of the labor press and the role of women in it. In the 1920s, as today, the scope of the news had narrowed. Activists established the Federated Press as the answer, providing not just regional and national coverage but international news that mattered. The stories Grieve tells represent the reach of the Federated Press and its women reporters. Central to their labor advocacy was the Woman Question, debated on the Left but experienced as well in unions and workplaces and the lives of women. It’s a great read and a revelation.” —ELIZABETH FAUE, author of Writing the Wrongs: Eva Valesh and the Rise of Labor Journalism Founded in 1919, the Federated Press (FP) collected, compiled, and distributed news to America’s labor and radical newspapers. Victoria M. Grieve focuses on the lives and work of four correspondents and staffers—Jessie Lloyd, Julia Ruuttila, Virginia Gardner, and Miriam Kolkin—to examine the impact of women at the FP and across the labor movement. These journalists wrote women into labor news by shedding light on essential issues like the need for equal pay and an end to discrimination. Their work increased women’s visibility in unions and the workforce while revealing that not only class but gender and race shaped their on-the-job experiences. Grieve also examines labor feminism within the larger stories of links between the Old Left and New Left and the FP’s pioneering role in articulating early iterations of intersectional feminism. A compelling portrait of four women and a movement, Labor Journalism, Labor Feminism looks at an essential labor press organization and profiles politically active, leftist women who created relationships, established networks, and worked for social change.

LABOR/ART
WORKING-CLASS GIRLS DON’T BECOME ARTISTS JANET ZANDY Considering class when thinking about art and artists “Working-Class Girls Don’t Become Artists is an utterly engrossing and ultimately moving book about the power of art to address the struggles, hopes, and labors of working people. Approaching art not as rarefied artifact, but as a collaborative commons, Zandy confirms her status as one of the most creative and courageous writers working at the intersection of class and culture today." —JOSEPH ENTIN, author of Living Labor: Fiction, Film, and Precarious Work Writing from a working-class perspective, Janet Zandy links labor and art to challenge the unnamed class biases in systems of art curation, categorization and expertise. Zandy orchestrates the voices of nine artists—Käthe Kollwitz and Elizabeth Catlett, Ruth Asawa and Marilyn Anderson, Milton Rogovin and Jens S. Jensen, Mark Rogovin and muralism, Ralph Fasanella, and Raymond Mason—whose work aligns with the histories and living conditions of working-class people. Pairing these portraits opens larger conversations about class and artistic formation, intent, and accessibility. Zandy presents a model for writing about art in an inclusive, theoretically informed, and creatively constructed way. Art, as Zandy shows, is not a rare fruit to be plucked by the chosen few. Art is a human necessity and crucial for the sustenance of democracy. Ambitious and original, Working-Class Girls Don’t Become Artists rewrites art history from a working-class perspective.

FOR THE LOVE OF LABOR
The Life of Pauline Newman
CATHRYN J. PRINCE The biography of a tireless working-class hero “Prince pays a stirring, cinematic tribute to labor activist and writer Pauline Newman, whose Dickensian experiences as a child laborer in the early twentieth century inspired her lifelong fight for better wages, better hours, and safer working conditions.” —PAIGE BOWERS, author of The General’s Niece From her start as one of the youngest activists in US history, Pauline Newman helped shape the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union (ILGWU) into a dominant force in industrial America. Cathryn J. Prince tells the story of a self-educated Jewish immigrant who dedicated herself to a legion of causes and lifelong battles against sexism and classism. Prince follows Newman’s life from a youth split between Lithuania and New York City sweatshops to her work as an advisor to New Deal–era labor secretary Francis Perkins. Newman’s long hours at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory informed her entrée into labor activism. In the following years, she tirelessly advocated for workers, ran for New York Secretary of State as a socialist, and became the first woman to serve as the ILGWU general organizer. Her interest in the health of workers led to service on the Joint Board of Sanitary Control and a decades-long term as education director of the ILGWU health center. Membership in Eleanor Roosevelt’s circle opened doors to government positions and advisory roles that continued into the postwar era. Prince also weaves in the details of Newman’s fifty-year relationship with a woman, her struggles with her sexual identity, and her final years.

LABOR HISTORY / BUSINESS
BACKROOM BARGAINING Racketeering and Rebellion in New York City’s Labor Unions
JANE LATOUR Fighting union corruption and autocracy “LaTour provides a rare portrait of labor racketeering from the perspective of rank-and-file union members. This unique oral history relays, in their own words, the motivations and actions of reformers in New York union locals, and the risks they took and the sacrifices they made to clean up their unions and help found a national movement for union democracy.” —MICHAEL J. GOLDBERG, Widener University Delaware Law School Organized crime figures and their minions honeycombed unions while leadership instituted nepotism, salary padding, and other practices that undermined the well- being of the rank and file. But in New York City, groups of union members and their legal allies waged a years-long struggle against corruption and for better working conditions. Jane LaTour combines rich oral histories with research to take readers into the construction sites, power plants, and Merchant Marine ships where the dramas played out. Dissidents risked their livelihoods for a variety of reasons, from practical concerns like job security and safety to larger ideas like union democracy. LaTour examines the factors that allowed unchecked corruption and kept unions from living up to their potential. But she also tells the eyewitness stories of solidarity and worker spirit that fueled the fight to retake labor power. A rare history of union corruption, Backroom Bargaining shines a light on worker campaigns to uphold fairness and equity in the workplace. JANE LATOUR (1946–2023) was a labor activist and writer. She is the author of Sisters in the Brotherhoods: Working Women Organizing for Equality in New York City.

DOWNRIVER DETROIT
The Working Class, the Environment, and the Bonds of Place
LISA M. FINE Protecting communities and nature in an industrial region “In this compelling book Lisa Fine weaves these stories together in a specific place and space—Downriver Detroit— to show how workers have struggled not just for improved wages and working conditions but also to protect nature. Through recovering the history of the labor movement’s engagement with questions of pollution, toxic waste, and landscape degradation in the Downriver, she reminds us that working-class people are not just workers but also hunters, gardeners, outdoors enthusiasts, and conservationists who often care deeply about the health of both the work and the natural environments within which they live and raise families and who fight tooth and nail to safeguard both.” —ANDREW HEROD, author of Labor Geographies: Workers and the Landscapes of Capitalism Since the beginning of the twentieth century, communities in the Downriver region of the Detroit River have forged an enduring claim to the well-being of waterways that are central to where they live, work, and play. Lisa M. Fine examines important moments in the ongoing efforts of the area’s citizens to create a humane and habitable environment. Her analysis shows how people preserved wetlands and the river by working through sportsmen’s organizations, appealing to state agencies, and forming grassroots movements. Fueled by enduring connections to place, local unions fought a proposed nuclear power plant in the 1950s. Years later, steel workers facing the steamroller of deindustrialization tried to preserve their communities by purchasing their own company. The ties that bind gave a unique character to activism in the Downriver region, challenging stereotypes of working-class attitudes toward the environment. A creative merger of labor and environmental history, Downriver Detroit shows that working people have a right to live in and protect the places they love.

THE DIVIDED CITY AND ITS NEW CINEMAS, 1920–1980 AMY MURPHY What happened when independent filmmakers turned the camera on the divided American city? “The Divided City and Its New Cinemas offers a provocative way to re-map urban geographies through film. While mainstream cinema has long exoticized or sensationalized neighborhoods, Amy Murphy shows how independent filmmakers reclaim those same spaces through acts of self-representation, restoring depth, dignity, and humanity to the people who call them home.” —OLIVER WANG, author of Cruising J-Town: Japanese American Car Culture in Los Angeles Film offers a powerful witness to the historical effects of segregation. Twentieth- century American urban policy favored “white flight” to the suburbs while confining other racial and ethnic groups in urban cores. Mainstream cinema, in turn, perpetuated racial stereotypes that justified this confinement. Amy Murphy revisits this history via six independent films, each mapping a distinct urban geography at a particular moment in the century.

WOMEN IN HOLLYWOOD’S DREAM FACTORY Tales of Inequality, Abuse, and Resistance
Edited by KAREN MCNALLY Analyzing and challenging the film industry’s infamous treatment of women “An essential historical perspective on the #MeToo movement, showing us that gender inequity and sexual abuse have been endemic to Hollywood since its very beginning—but also revealing persistent voices of resistance.” —SHELLEY STAMP, author of Movie-Struck Girls: Women and Motion Picture Culture after the Nickelodeon The #MeToo revelations put a twenty-first-century stamp on the age-old story of women’s mistreatment in Hollywood. Karen McNally edits a collection focused on examining and revising film history in the aftermath of the women’s stories, past and present, that have come to light. The collection begins with essays on the interplay between reality and imagination in narratives and representations of women’s experiences of unequal treatment. In Part 2, contributors discuss how the gendered attitudes of the media’s stories enable inequality in Hollywood and look at the forces that arise whenever women resist these media assaults. The next section addresses the structures that built the inequalities and mistreatment while Part 4 revisits established narratives to challenge, renew, and expand upon our understanding of film history through women’s stories. Essays in the final section address the combination of inequality and resistance that defines women’s experiences in Hollywood. Piercing and astute, Women in Hollywood’s Dream Factory confronts our perception of Hollywood as a mythological land of dreams.

JILL CRAIGIE
Film and Feminism in Postwar Britain
YVONNE TASKER and SADIE WEARING The career and craft of a woman filmmaker in a maledominated industry “This impeccably researched book gives a vivid portrait of Jill Craigie—filmmaker, feminist, journalist, media personality and political campaigner—and thus transforms our understanding of postwar British film culture.” —CHRISTINE GERAGHTY, author of Now a Major Motion Picture: Film Adaptations of Literature and Drama From the mid-1940s to the late 1950s, Jill Craigie wrote, produced, and directed the innovative films that stood at the center of her diverse career in British cinema, radio, television, and print journalism. Yvonne Tasker and Sadie Wearing analyze Craigie’s oeuvre while delving into the filmmaker’s use of the medium as the space for her distinctive feminist engagement with key cultural, social, and political questions. Tasker and Wearing reconsider Craigie’s place and reputation in the history of British Cinema. Craigie created work that showed a strong critical voice and at the same time challenged contemporary modes of filmmaking with both documentary and drama. Tasker and Wearing examine her feminist and working-class influences and also emphasize the democratic impulse that drove Craigie to include her subjects’ participation, and her commitment to representing them on screen. Throughout, Tasker and Wearing analyze Craigie’s work against the backdrop of postwar concerns and preoccupations. Distinctive and nuanced, Jill Craigie reconsiders the career of a groundbreaking woman director. YVONNE TASKER is the chair of media and communication at the University of Leeds. Her books include The Hollywood Action and Adventure Film and Soldiers’ Stories: Military Women in Cinema and Television Since World War II. SADIE WEARING is an associate professor in gender theory, culture, and film at the London School of Economics and Political Science. She is the coauthor of Gender in the Media.

ASSEMBLIES OF SORROW
Performances of Black Endangerment in the Jim Crow Era
SAMUEL GALEN NG Understanding the power of Black public mourning “Fluidly interdisciplinary, illuminating, and engrossing. In its novel consideration of the familiar and the less familiar, the book offers readers a way to consider how discourses are made and mobilized, and how the generation of Black politics is an active, and gendered, process.” —ADRIANE LENTZ-SMITH, author of Freedom Struggles: African Americans and World War I During the Jim Crow era, Black activists appealed to a diverse population of migrating Black Americans by making them viscerally feel that the threat of anti-Black violence continued to afflict them as a group and to undergird blackness itself. To this end, they organized public gatherings, mostly comprised of Black people, that fostered fears of looming physical harm. Samuel Galen Ng illuminates this Black consciousness as it emanated from feelings of collective endangerment. The dissemination and intensification of such feelings became a pivotal way of solidifying a national Black consciousness on the eve of the Civil Rights Movement. Ng examines how performances of Black endangerment performed political work that provided Black people with important means of political organizing and insurgency. As Ng shows, the grief and mourning that took place at the performances provided public spaces for individuals and communities to observe specific losses capable of impacting Americans across the country. Ambitious and interdisciplinary, Assemblies of Sorrow explores an overlooked facet of Black organizing and protest and traces how activists shaped fear and grief into political action.

LATTER-DAY ELOQUENCE
Two Centuries of Mormon Oratory
Edited by RICHARD BENJAMIN CROSBY and ISAAC JAMES RICHARDS Touchstone speeches in Latter-day Saint history, 1820–2020 "Latter-day Eloquence is spectacularly successful in disclosing the workings of the Latter-day Saint (and wider Mormon) oratorical tradition—a species of the prophetic voice not confined to general conference addresses. Whether you are a student of history, letters, rhetoric, or psychology, or simply a thoughtful layperson wishing to understand this movement’s range and potency, this collection might be one of the few 900-page tomes you want on your shelves. Read from the beginning, it tells a story—but it can as easily be read backwards or selectively.” —PHILIP L. BARLOW, coeditor of The Oxford Handbook of Mormonism The epic story of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints cannot be told without including its dedication to speechmaking and eloquence. Richard Benjamin Crosby and Isaac James Richards collect important speeches from a broad range of sources that highlight the history, diversity, and centrality of public speaking in Latter-day Saint life. An expert introduces each speech while offering perspective on its place in Latter-day Saint history. The collected works express a diversity of viewpoints and experiences at odds with the notion that Latter-day Saints speak in a single voice while declaring the significance of the Latter-day Saint faith in their lives.

C. C. A. CHRISTENSEN
A Mormon Visionary
JENNIFER CHAMPOUX Rediscovering an important artist and his images of early LDS life “C. C. A. Christensen was the leading Mormon visual artist of the nineteenth century. His paintings and panoramas defined the first generations of Mormons to themselves. Jennifer Champoux’s remarkable book defines Christensen to twenty-first-century Latter-day Saints. In the process, she makes a compelling argument for the vital role that art plays in creating a people.” —MICHAEL AUSTIN, author of Vardis Fisher: A Mormon Novelist Carl Christian Anton (C. C. A.) Christensen left paintings that provide unique glimpses into the beliefs and life experiences of nineteenth-century members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Christensen took his subject matter from the Book of Mormon and the Church’s early history, painting widely admired scenes and panoramas that portrayed, retold, and interpreted the past. Drawing on the artist’s voluminous writings, Jennifer Champoux illuminates Christensen’s influential art, including recently rediscovered works. Christensen received Church commissions and approval and helped shape Latter-day Saints’ vision of themselves. Over time the work of other artists eclipsed his achievements, but a twenty-first-century revival of interest began to restore his reputation. Champoux also profiles how Christensen’s expansive activities outside of the art world gave him a unique vantage point for chronicling how the Latter-day Saint faith and culture evolved in Utah. A revealing intellectual biography, C. C. A. Christensen offers a rare in-depth look at a major Latter-day Saint artist.

RICHARD LYMAN BUSHMAN
A Mormon Ambassador
J.B. HAWS A portrait of the celebrated intellectual “This book’s prose is as polished as we are likely ever to see. It displays crisp writing, finely crafted sentences, often spiced with dry wit. Haws has a fine eye for the right quotation. The documentation is extensive but not showy. He captures Bushman’s landmark significance with deft strokes. I rarely use the word brilliant, but in this case no other word will do.” —GRANT WACKER, author of America’s Pastor: Billy Graham and the Shaping of a Nation As a historian, theologian, and mentor, Richard Lyman Bushman greatly influenced the shaping of how those inside and outside the Church perceived Latter-day Saint history. J.B. Haws’s examination of Bushman’s life and thought tells the story of a scholar with a foot in both the LDS faith and secular society, and his efforts to bridge their two very different worldviews. Bushman integrated his acquired fluency and comfort inside academia with his native understanding of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In his work, he translated, interpreted, and explained the LDS faith to the wider world. His professional status strengthened his arguments for an honest, transparent, and responsible approach to Church history. His devoted religious practice convinced his co-religionists of his sincerity. To his academic colleagues, Bushman advocated for a religious perspective in scholarship, while widespread respect for his work opened the door to his ideas. Perceptive and illuminating, Richard Lyman Bushman explores the far-reaching contributions of an important LDS historian, theologian, and teacher.

Facing starvation and ruin on Utah’s nineteenth-century frontier, Latter-day Saint pioneers launched an audacious experiment to reshape the English language: the Deseret Alphabet. Ryan K. Shosted and N. E. Davis trace the alphabet’s origins in the linguistic vision of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young; explore its contested social, spiritual, and linguistic functions; and examine its decline and modern-day renewal. Shosted and Davis draw on a wide range of sources, including previously unpublished archival material, to trace the alphabet’s roots in Joseph Smith’s esoteric translations and its role in shaping Latter-day Saint identity. Their account brings together theology, linguistics, and culture. As they show, the Deseret Alphabet remains relevant as a living artifact of a religion wrestling with its visionary origins and the divine potential of words.

RELIGION AFTER THE GODS
Edwin H. Wilson and the American Humanist Association
JOHN S. HALLER JR. The life and work of a religious humanist thinker “Humanism shaped the twentieth century and continues to shape the twenty-first, and John Haller’s meticulous history thoughtfully tells the story of the people who built our movement from the ground up—from the scrappy band of Midwestern ministers who forged a path for a faith based on reason and compassion, to the generations of people who undertook the challenging work to sustain and grow it.” —FISH STARK, Executive Director, American Humanist Association Sometimes called America’s fourth religion, religious humanism emerged in the Midwest as a product of Enlightenment rationality, the Social Gospel, and the philosophy of pragmatism. John S. Haller Jr. examines religious humanism’s first fifty years alongside Edwin H. Wilson’s pivotal role in the American Humanist Association (AHA). Started by a group of Unitarian faculty and students, religious humanism applied the rituals of the theocentric universe of Judeo-Christianity to the non-theistic, anthropocentric universe of agnostics, altruists, humanitarians, and meliorists. Their beliefs found expression in the AHA, founded in 1941 with Wilson as the secretary and editor of its magazine. Wilson’s actions in these and other roles weighed heavily on the organization’s reputation, influence, successes, and failures. At the same time, his multifaceted work reflected the relationship between power and the possibilities inherent in the pluralistic and democratic heritage he pursued.

UNCOVERING THE VIRGEN DEL PANECILLO
Quito’s Postcolonial Urban Transformations
MARÍA CÉLLERI The stories behind an icon “Uncovering the Virgen del Panecillo exemplifies the power of Andean Decolonial Feminism. Célleri’s interdisciplinary analysis of a monument of the Virgin Mary blurs linear time and challenges boundaries between academic fields and genres. This is a must-read book for Latin American feminists and a powerful rehearsal of what imagining decolonial futures and utopian why nots can look like.” —TANIA LIZARAZO, author of Postconflict Utopias: Everyday Survival in Chocó, Colombia Taller than the Rio de Janiero’s Christ the Redeemer statue, the Virgen del Panecillo draws visitors to the center of Quito, Ecuador, to take advantage of the site’s unique view of the city. But few know the history behind El Panecillo or the monument. María Célleri examines the eighty-year effort to complete Quito’s soaring monument to the Virgin Mary. Focusing on the negotiations behind the project, Célleri uncovers the links between the government and Church—links that became stronger during moments of political and economic transition. Célleri also investigates how the city’s residents and activists, and artists like filmmakers, graffiti artists, and photographers, interact with the monument. Throughout, she looks at questions like the Virgen del Panecillo’s service to Ecuador as a form of cultural capital, the Virgen’s symbolic meanings to different groups, and the often-hidden connections between colonialism, Catholicism, and artistic production.

ETHNOMUSICOLOGY
MUSIC AND THE STAGED VEILLÉE IN QUEBEC
Performing Tradition
LAURA RISK The story of a cultural touchstone and its impact "Traditional music in Quebec is an additive genre. New musical ideas and associations layer on older ones. Subgenres form but usually do not break off, and with time, innovations associated with a handful of musicians or dancers may become generalized. The same is true for extramusical elements. Norms of performance practice shift over time, including which performing and listening bodies are considered appropriate or usual, as well as standards of dress, speech, visual imagery, publicity, and so on. As new norms replace older ones, the latter leave an impression on the genre, something like an unusual twist to a melody that carries forward from player to player." —from the Introduction
MAY 2026
Fiddlers, step dancers, storytellers, traditional singers, and folklorists staged Montreal’s first veillée in 1919. All that was missing, announced one of the organizers, was a magic carpet to transport the audience into the countryside and a kiss of forgetfulness to erase the woes of modern life.
280 PAGES. 6 X 9 INCHES 15 BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS, 13 MUSICAL EXAMPLES, 3 CHARTS, 2 TABLES
Laura Risk tells the story of the veillées and explores how these commercial performances of idealized rural life became part of Quebec’s cultural heritage. Her in-depth examinations of key performances and recordings follow traditional music and dance from the stage onto radio, records and other audio media, and television. Throughout, Risk documents how veillées redefined folklore in twentieth-century Quebec and illuminates how their distinctive framing of traditional musicians and repertoire impacts the performance and reception of the music to the present day.

FOUNDING MOTHERS OF THE SOCIETY FOR ETHNOMUSICOLOGY CHARLOTTE J. FRISBIE A groundbreaking inclusive account of the Society’s early days “Curious about the contributions of women in the early years of ethnomusicology—amidst the era’s discrimination and exclusions? Charlotte Frisbie’s long-term project is a model of mixed methodologies, research, and determination, uncovering insights into the lives of ten founding mothers of the field.” —TOMIE HAHN, author of Arousing Sense: Recipes for Workshopping Sensory Experience Women played an essential role in the creation and incorporation of the Society for Ethnomusicology. Charlotte J. Frisbie uses participant observation, multiple voices and lenses, and a wide range of interviews to chronicle the women of the era, their contributions to the emerging discipline, and the reasons for their involvement in the Society. Candid and revealing, the women offer their personal and professional stories and provide observations of the Society over time. They also describe experiences with discrimination and unequal access to opportunities while discussing the slights, cruel jokes, and other insensitive behaviors of some of the men in the Society’s leadership. An enlightening eyewitness account, Founding Mothers of the Society for Ethnomusicology is an invaluable window into the work and contributions of women scholars and the obstacles they faced.

Threshold Theory for Transformative Learning
JULIE GEREDIEN A radical approach to a contemporary trend in education “After reading every sentence of Arrows Tipped with Flowers, I went back and created seven pages of quotes from it for future citations. This is how powerfully Geredien’s words moved me as I read and contemplated her almost poetic analysis of the many aspects of ‘threshold learning’ she offers. Most, if not all, of her ideas and interpretations of diverse authors resonated with the deep truths of our original Nature-based worldview, but in ways that allow everyone to awaken to the joyful awareness of who we really are. This is truly a remarkable book.” —WAHINKPE TOPA (FOUR ARROWS), author Point of Departure: Returning to Our More Authentic Worldview for Education and Survival How can learning at the threshold change us and our world? Julie Geredien introduces an approach to transformative learning that draws on a wide range of cultural and disciplinary viewpoints. Threshold theory challenges unexamined mental habits and exposes absolutisms that hold social order by impeding the comprehension process. As those learning at the threshold approach transition and the unknown, they participate in transformations that illuminate hidden developmental patterns and ecological relationships. Geredien’s threshold theorizing brings together realities at the heart of creativity, relational worldview, and anti-oppression work to forge the philosophical and psychological foundations necessary to reshape policies and practices. Innovative and expansive, Arrows Tipped with Flowers reveals the psychology of integrity that underpins truly global learning and explains the need to develop more inclusive and reflective approaches to knowledge formation.

SIDNEY BREESE
Life and Law in an Expanding America
JOSEPH A. RANNEY A career in nineteenth-century Illinois law and politics “Joseph A. Ranney performs an important service by directing our attention to state legal history, particularly the role of nineteenth-century state judges, and analyzing the life and career of Illinois supreme court justice Sidney Breese in a painstakingly researched book that contributes to our understanding of Illinois’s legal, constitutional, and judicial history and the challenges faced by judges in determining the legitimacy of governmental aid to and regulation of railroads.” —JOHN DINAN, author of State Constitutional Politics: Governing by Amendment in the American States A central figure in Illinois’ early history, Sidney Breese forged an eventful public life that spanned the state’s transition from a frontier territory to a modern industrial society. Joseph A. Ranney tells the story of the lasting achievements and far- reaching legal decisions that defined Breese’s career. Born in New York, Breese moved to Illinois in 1818. An ambitious personality combined with acumen in law, politics, and business boosted Breese into the state’s frontier elite and involved him in the political controversies that roiled the Jacksonian Era. First a circuit court judge, Breese rose to the state Supreme Court before his election to the US Senate in 1842. Breese focused his senatorial energies on westward expansion and transforming the nation into a world power—ambitions symbolized by his pivotal role in the creation of the Illinois Central Railroad. After returning to the state Supreme Court, Breese ruled on essential cases that enshrined expansionist jurisprudence in American law and regulated the growing power of corporations in post–Civil War America.

THE SELECTED PAPERS OF JANE ADDAMS

JANE ADDAMS Edited by Stacy Lynn with Cathy Moran Hajo and Victoria Sciancalepore A collection of hard-to-find primary sources and expert commentary Praise for The Selected Papers of Jane Addams Volume 3: “Breathtaking in its depth and detail. In this exciting volume, readers meet Addams as she begins her most important life projects: the founding of Hull-House; popularizing pragmatic democracy in a changing world; and her work for peace and international understanding.” —WENDY E. CHMIELEWSKI, coeditor of Jane Addams and the Practice of Democracy Jane Addams entered 1901 as a confident voice in the American settlement movement and pioneer in many of its methods. The period that followed marked the dramatic expansion of the Hull-House campus and its reach. The fourth volume in the series follows Addams’s increasingly busy life. Her activities included greater participation in the women’s suffrage movement and speaking tours of twenty-five states and the District of Columbia to discuss child labor, settlement work, and women’s issues. At the same time, she maintained relationships with an intimate circle of female friends, her extended family, the Hull-House community, and most importantly her companion Mary Rozet Smith. The editors provide an extensive collection of documents on this side of Addams’s life while rooting her in the unique time and place of an era of fast and far-reaching change.

Radical Craft celebrates the work of these immigrant artists and reformers while illuminating the local beginnings and international influences upon Hull-House’s approach to the practice and experience of art. Painting, textiles, metalwork, pottery, and bookmaking provided immigrant neighbors with opportunities to experience what Jane Addams called, “restorative power in the exercise of a genuine craft.” Radical Craft also looks at Ellen Gates Starr, Hull-House’s lesser-known cofounder. Starr was committed to the ideals of the Arts and Crafts movement and believed that art should be accessible to everyone. Contributors: Katie Akerboom, Nadia Maragha, Fiona Maxwell, Liesl Olson, Matthew Randle-Bent, Nadia Maragha, Ellen Gates Starr; Annie V.F. Storr, and an interview with artist Faheem Majeed by Ross Jordan. THE JANE ADDAMS HULL-HOUSE MUSEUM hosts exhibitions and programs that connect histories of social transformation to the present.

MUSCLE SHOALS
Low Rhythm Rising
COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM STAFF The story behind the fabled recording studio Out of an Alabama community known to few came an outpouring of music known to all. Muscle Shoals: Low Rhythm Rising is the story of Black and white musicians who found a way to work together at a time when segregation prevailed. Producer Rick Hall and his FAME Recording Studio and the session aces at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio built a homemade approach to cutting music that mattered. As a result, hitmakers from R&B, rock, pop, and country music flocked to this quiet backwater to record. A new rhythm rose. This book, the catalog of a major multi-year exhibition at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, traces how it all happened. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum collects, preserves, and interprets the evolving history and traditions of country music. Through exhibits, publications, and educational programs, the Museum teaches its diverse audiences about the enduring beauty and cultural importance of country music.
