Hands on the Freedom Plow


Personal Accounts by Women in SNCC
Edited by Faith S. Holsaert, Martha
Prescod Norman Noonan, Judy
Richardson, Betty Garman Robinson,
Jean Smith Young, and Dorothy M.
Zellner
Fifty-two women—northern and southern, young
and old, urban and rural, black, white, and Latina—
share their courageous personal stories of working
for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Commit-
tee (SNCC) on the front lines of the Civil Rights
Movement.
“This amazing book rethreads the needle of
memory with a stronger cord woven of the
testimonies of sisters who never gave up or in. Its
gifts are immeasurable as a historical document and
a blueprint for ongoing national and international
struggles for human rights.”—Darlene Clark Hine,
coauthor of The African American Odyssey

Troubled Ground
A Tale of Murder, Lynching, and Reckoning in the
New South
Claude A. Clegg III
Claude A. Clegg III revisits a violent episode in his
hometown’s history that made national headlines in the
early twentieth century but disappeared from public
consciousness over the decades.
Three black men were lynched in front of a crowd
of thousands in Salisbury, North Carolina, in 1906,
following the ax murder of a local white family for
whom the men had worked. One of the lynchers
was prosecuted for his role in the execution, the first
conviction of its kind in North Carolina and one of the
earliest in the country.
Yet Clegg, an academic historian who grew up in Salis-
bury, had never heard of the case until 2002 and could
not find anyone else familiar with the case. Mining
newspaper accounts and government records, Clegg
finds evidence to suggest a long and complex history of
lynching in the area while revealing the determination
of the city to rid its history of a shameful and shocking
chapter.

Freeing Charles
The Struggle to Free a Slave on the Eve of the
Civil War
Scott Christianson
Recounts the life and epic rescue of captured fugitive
slave Charles Nalle of Culpeper, Virginia, who was
forcibly liberated by Harriet Tubman and others in
Troy, New York, on April 27, 1860. This engaging
narrative represents the first in-depth historical study
of this crucial incident, one of the fiercest anti-slavery
riots after Harpers Ferry.
“In this magnificently conceived and subtly rendered
book, Christianson not only brings to life the men and
women of the Underground Railroad as they carry out
one of the most dramatic rescues of a fugitive slave
on record, he also guides us unflinchingly along the
heartbreaking fault line of racial relations that warped
life in America—in both the North and the South—in
the age of slavery.”—Fergus M. Bordewich, author of
Bound for Canaan: The Underground Railroad and the
War for the Soul of America

Lincoln’s Political Generals


David Work
“Readers, especially those interested in the fascinating relationship
between war and politics in the Northern war effort, will find this book
enjoyable and useful.”—Journal of American History
“In this thoroughgoing study of sixteen ‘political generals’ in the
Union army, David Work demonstrates convincingly that these
generals’ efforts significantly aided the Union war effort.”—James

Race and Radicalism in the Union Army


Mark A. Lause
Documents the efforts of radical followers of John Brown to construct
a triracial portion of the Federal Army of the Frontier. Mobilized and
inspired by the idea of a Union that would benefit all, black, Indian, and
white soldiers fought side by side, achieving remarkable successes in
the field.
“In this study of an obscure but important group of radicals, Lause
includes cameos of fascinating figures largely ignored in standard
accounts as well as coverage of battles beyond the frame of nearly all
Civil War texts. Future work will have to reckon with this marvelous
study.”—Bruce Laurie, author of Beyond Garrison: Antislavery and
Social Reform

A. Philip Randolph and the


Struggle for Civil Rights
Cornelius L. Bynum
“Relating Randolph’s racial, economic, and political
thought to his efforts to address injustice, Bynum does
an excellent job of positioning Randolph’s ideology
with that of his contemporaries on the political left.
This study is ideal for students and scholars of twen-
tieth-century African American history, labor history,
and race relations.”—Cary D. Wintz, editor of African
American Political Thought, 1890–1930: Washington,
Du Bois, Garvey, and Randolph
Examining Randolph’s work in lobbying for the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, threatening to
lead a march on Washington in 1941, and establishing
the Fair Employment Practice Committee, Cornelius L.
Bynum shows that Randolph’s push for African Ameri-
can equality took place within a broader progressive
program of industrial reform.

imitative.’”—Black Issues Book Review

American history and redefine American history
during his sixty-year career. . . . He truly deserves the

The Girls’ History and Culture


Reader
The Nineteenth Century
The Twentieth Century
Edited by Miriam Forman-Brunell and
Leslie Paris
The Girls’ History and Culture Reader provides
scholars, instructors, and students with the most
influential essays that have defined the field of
American girls’ history and culture. A relatively new
and energetic field of inquiry, girl-centered research is
critical for a fuller understanding of women and gender,
a deeper consideration of childhood and adolescence,
and a greater acknowledgment of the significance of
generation as a historical force in American culture and
society.

Bringing together work from top scholars of women


and youth, The Nineteenth Century addresses topics
ranging from diary writing and toys to prostitution and
slavery. The reader also illuminates broader nineteenth-
century developments—including urbanization,
industrialization, and immigration—through the
often-overlooked vantage point of girls. As these essays
collectively suggest, nineteenth-century girls wielded
relatively little political or social power but carved out
other spaces of self-expression.
Contributors are Carol Devens, Miriam Forman-Brunell, Jane
H. Hunter, Anya Jabour, Anne Scott MacLeod, Susan McCully,
Mary Niall Mitchell, Leslie Paris, Barbara Sicherman, Carroll
Smith-Rosenberg, Christine Stansell, Nancy M. Theriot, and
Deborah Gray White.

The Twentieth Century illustrates girls’ centrality to


major twentieth-century forces such as immigration,
labor, feminism, consumerism, and civil rights.
Themes in this pioneering volume include girls’ use
of fashion and music, their roles as workers, their
friendships, and new ideas about girls’ bodies. While
girls in the twentieth century found new avenues for
personal ambition and self-expression, especially at
school and in the realm of leisure and popular culture,
they continued to wrestle with traditional ideas about
feminine identity, socialization, and sexuality.
Contributors are Joan Jacobs Brumberg, Rachel Devlin, Susan
J. Douglas, Miriam Forman-Brunell, Kyra D. Gaunt, Mary
Celeste Kearney, Ilana Nash, Mary Odem, Leslie Paris, Kathy
Peiss, Vicki L. Ruiz, Kelly Schrum, and Judy Yung.

The Selected Papers of Margaret Sanger,


Volume 3
The Politics of Planned Parenthood, 1939–1966
Edited by Esther Katz
Cathy Moran Hajo and Peter C. Engelman, Associate Editors
“This volume provides accurate, dramatic context to the often con-
flicting struggle to make birth control acceptable in American culture
and to make it a global movement.”—Allida M. Black, editor and
director of The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project
These lively and fascinating letters and other writings tell the story of
Sanger’s consequential collaboration with the philanthropist Katha-
rine Dexter McCormick and their masterful direction of scientists,
physicians, and birth control bureaucrats toward the production of the
first contraceptive pill—the catalyst for the sexual revolution.

Emily Greene Balch


The Long Road to Internationalism
Kristen E. Gwinn
The first scholarly biography of Emily Greene Balch, Progressive Era
reformer and advocate for world peace whose opposition to World
War I resulted in the board of trustees at Wellesley College refusing
to renew her contract as a professor of economics and sociology.
Afterwards, Balch cofounded the Women’s International League for
Peace and Freedom (WILPF). For her advocacy efforts in preventing
and reconciling conflicts, Balch was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in

Elizabeth Packard
A Noble Fight
Linda V. Carlisle
In 1860, Elizabeth Packard’s husband, a Calvinist minister, commit-
ted her to an Illinois insane asylum in an effort to protect their six
children and his church from her “heretical” religious ideas. Upon
her release three years later, Packard obtained a jury trial and was
declared sane. Before the trial ended, however, her husband sold their
home and left for Massachusetts with their children and her personal
property. His actions were legal. These experiences launched Packard
into a career as an advocate for the civil rights of married women
and the mentally ill. Packard’s laws were passed in state after state,
with lasting impact on commitment and care of the mentally ill in the
United States.

Poverty, Charity, and Motherhood


Maternal Societies in Nineteenth-Century France
Christine Adams
This far-reaching study of maternal societies in post-Revolutionary
France focuses on the philanthropic work of the Society for Maternal
Charity. Adams plumbs the origin and ideology of the Society and its
branches, showing how elite women tried to influence the maternal
behavior of women and families with lesser financial means and so-
cial status. A deft analysis of the philosophy and goals of the Society
details the women’s own notions of good mothering, family solidarity,
and legitimate marriages that structured official, elite, and popular
attitudes concerning gender and poverty in France. These personal
attitudes, Adams argues, greatly influenced public policy and shaped
the country’s burgeoning social welfare system.

Birth Control on Main Street


Organizing Clinics in the United States, 1916–1939
Cathy Moran Hajo
Moving thematically through the politicized issues of the birth control
movement, Hajo infuses her analysis of the practical and medical issues of

groups to obey local laws and navigated the swirling debates about how
birth control centers should be controlled, who should receive care, and
how patients should be treated.

Defining Deviance
Sex, Science, and Delinquent Girls, 1890–1960
Michael A. Rembis
Focuses on the interactions among adolescent female sex offenders, their
families, and the reformers, mental health experts, courts, and institution
administrators who attempted to diagnose and treat them. The book reveals
how dominant notions of sexuality, gender, and generational roles led to a
disciplining of young, largely working-class delinquent women through the
construction of particular, changing notions of impairment.

The Baltimore Bank Riot


Political Upheaval in Antebellum Maryland
Robert E. Shalhope
Uses the bank riot to investigate the tensions between
two countervailing impulses within Maryland society:
on the one hand, the vision of an egalitarian, demo-
cratic society rooted in traditional communal values
and resting on the sovereignty of the people; and on
the other, a market-oriented perspective that advocated
a more disciplined, ordered society dependent on the
power and authority of the state.
“An exhaustively researched, richly textured account of
an important and understudied event of the Jacksonian
period. This is a book that all scholars of the period will
consult to understand the origins, events, and resolution
of that deadly, destructive event.”—Thomas Summerhill,

Becoming the Second City


Chicago’s Mass News Media, 1833–1898
Richard Junger
In concise, extensively documented prose, Richard
Junger illustrates how nineteenth-century newspapers
acted as accelerants that boosted the growth of Chicago
in its early history by continually making and remak-
ing the city’s public image as the nation’s populous
“Second City.”
“A detailed, energetic overview of newspaper coverage
and interest in Chicago in the 1800s. Junger’s Becom-
ing the Second City will be appreciated by a wide audi-
ence of historians and general readers, in the nation’s
‘Second City’ and beyond!”—Duane C. S. Stoltzfus,

Hamlin Garland, Prairie Radical


Writings from the 1890s
Hamlin Garland
Edited by Donald Pizer
“Hamlin Garland, Prairie Radical recovers many of Garland’s char-
acteristic yet neglected writings from his most important period and
politically situates his better-known writings, including “Under the
Lion’s Paw,” Rose of Dutcher’s Cooly, and Crumbling Idols. More than
a recovery project, this book should also prove to be a valuable teaching
tool.”—Gary Scharnhorst, author of Bret Harte: Opening the American

Madame Léon Grandin
Translated and with an Introduction by Mary Beth Raycraft, with an essay by
Arnold Lewis
“An excellent foreign traveler’s account of Chicago, the 1893 World’s
Columbian Exposition, New York City, and travel by ocean liner and
train. The book provides wonderful commentary on gender relations and
the contrast between Americans and the French.”—Perry Duis, author of
Challenging Chicago: Coping with Everyday Life, 1837–1920
This fascinating account of a French woman’s impressions of America
in the late nineteenth century reveals an unusual cross-cultural journey.
Traveling to Chicago in 1893 because of her husband’s collaboration on
the fountain sculpture for the World’s Columbian Exposition, Madame
Leon Grandin was impressed with the city’s fast pace, architectural
grandeur, and social and cultural customs.

Commemorating Hell
The Public Memory of Mittelbau-Dora
Gretchen Schafft and Gerhard Zeidler
Commemorating Hell is a study of the Nazi concentration camp of
Mittelbau-Dora, which held 60,000 prisoners, of whom 20,000 did
not survive the war. Prisoners at the camp worked on Werner von
Braun’s V-1 and V-2 rockets and were supervised by Arthur Ru-
dolph, who later oversaw the Saturn rocket project at NASA in the
United States. The book tells of events during the camp’s existence,
how the camp was memorialized under the German Democratic Re-
public and then the Federal Republic of Germany, and demonstrates
the camp’s relationship to the American space program.

Red Conspirator
J. Peters and the American Communist Underground
Thomas Sakmyster
This book is the first biography of J. Peters, a shadowy figure who
played a key, though largely hidden, role in the American Commu-

Peters constructed a complex networks of informants and spies,
including a circle in Washington D.C. that stole numerous State
Department documents. Thomas Sakmyster reconstructs the career

the communist underground in the United States and advancing the
ongoing debate over the extent and nature of Soviet espionage in the
