ISBN: 9780674047556 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Creating a sensation with her risque nightclub act and strolls down the Champs Elysees, pet cheetah in tow, Josephine Baker lives on in popular memory as the banana-skirted siren of Jazz Age Paris. In Josephine Baker and the Rainbow Tribe, Matthew Pratt Guterl brings out a little known side of the celebrated personality, showing how her ambitions of later years were even more daring and subversive than the youthful exploits that made her the first African American superstar. Her performing days numbered, Baker settled down in a sixteenth-century chateau she named Les Milandes,...

ISBN: 9780674010123 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. With the social change brought on by the Great Migration of African Americans into the urban northeast after the Great War came the surge of a biracial sensibility that made America different from other Western nations. How white and black people thought about race and how both groups understood and attempted to define and control the demographic transformation are the subjects of this new book by a rising star in American history. An elegant account of the roiling environment that witnessed the shift from the multiplicity of white races to the arrival of biracialism, this book...

American Mediterranean: Southern Slaveholders in the Age of Emancipation
ISBN: 9780674072282 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 237 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How did slave-owning Southern planters make sense of the transformation of their world in the Civil War era? Matthew Pratt Guterl shows that they looked beyond their borders for answers. He traces the links that bound them to the wider fraternity of slaveholders in Cuba, Brazil, and elsewhere, and charts their changing political place in the hemisphere. Through such figures as the West Indian Confederate Judah Benjamin, Cuban expatriate Ambrosio Gonzales, and the exile Eliza McHatton, Guterl examines how the Southern elite connected--by travel, print culture, even the prospect of...

Seeing Race in Modern America
ISBN: 9781469626512 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this fiercely urgent book, Matthew Pratt Guterl focuses on how and why we come to see race in very particular ways. What does it mean to see someone as a color? As racially mixed or ethnically ambiguous? What history makes such things possible? Drawing creatively from advertisements, YouTube videos, and everything in between, Guterl redirects our understanding of racial sight away from the dominant categories of color--away from brown and yellow and black and white--and instead insists that we confront the visual practices that make those same categories seem so irrefutably important....

Hotel Life: The Story of a Place Where Anything Can Happen
ISBN: 9781469636115 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What is a hotel? As Caroline Field Levander and Matthew Pratt Guterl show us in this thought-provoking book, even though hotels are everywhere around us, we rarely consider their essential role in our modern existence and how they help frame our sense of who and what we are. They are, in fact, as centrally important as other powerful places like prisons, hospitals, or universities. More than simply structures made of steel, concrete, and glass, hotels are social and political institutions that we invest with overlapping and contradictory meaning. These alluring places uniquely capture the...

Race, Nation, and Empire in American History
ISBN: 9780807858288 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. While public debates over America's current foreign policy often treat American empire as a new phenomenon, this lively collection of essays offers a pointed reminder that visions of national and imperial greatness were a cornerstone of the new country when it was founded. In fact, notions of empire have long framed debates over western expansion, Indian removal, African slavery, Asian immigration, and global economic dominance, and they persist today despite the proliferation of anti-imperialist rhetoric.
In fifteen essays, distinguished historians examine the central role of empire... While public debates over America's current foreign policy often treat American empire as a new phenomenon, this lively collection of essays offers a ...
