‘New Raiments of Self’: African American Clothing in the Antebellum South $203.13 This book examines the clothing worn by African Americans in the southern United States during the thirty years before the American Civil War. Drawing on a wide range of sources, most notably oral narratives recorded in the 1930s, this rich account shows that African Americans demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the role clothing played in demarcating age, sex, status, work, recreation, as well as special secular and sacred events. Testimonies offer proof of African Americans’ vast technical skills in producing cloth and clothing, which served both as a fundamental reflection of the peoples’ Afrocentric craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities, and as a reaction to their particular place in American society. Previous work on clothing in this period has tended to focus on white viewpoints, and as a consequence the dress worn by the enslaved has generally been seen as a static standard imposed by white overlords. This excellent study departs from conventional interpretations to show that the clothing of the enslaved changed over time, served multiple functions and represented customs and attitudes which evolved distinctly from within African American communities. In short, it represents a vital contribution to African American studies, as well as to dress and textile history, and cultural and folklore studies.

VISIT TO THE HOSPITAL, AND INTEEVIEW WITH PRINCE EEUSS. After breakfasting, and being thoroughly refreshed in mind and body, I determined to pay a visit to the Seminaire Hospital, of which Dr. L was the Medical Officer. I again spoke to him about employment, but received the same answer as the day before. He took me all over the Hospital, where upwards of five hundred poor fellows — French and German — lay wounded. He said he had had upwards of five thousand there a few days before, and had I been there then he would have been hut too glad of my services. A large temporary shed had been erected for the poor creatures, besides this large building. I was very glad from all I heard afterwards that I did not enter this Hospital, as there was an oberin, and I did not wish to be under anybody. I was again advised to return to Brunswick, and I now felt most anxious to get back. I spent the whole day walking about the town with a little Jew, who was very civil to me; he was employed by the Juanita Depot, and gave me a good deal of information of one kind or another, and shewed me the different buildings. In the evening I went to the cassino — a kind of German cafe — where I got a cup of wretched tea, for which I had to pay two francs. The room was full of officers, like the night before, andfinding myself the only female, I soon took my departure. I went back to my French cafe, intendingto go to bed, but just as I got to my room the door opened, and in walked one of the nurses I had last seen at Saarbruck. She wore the dress of the Keiserswerth Schvves ters, which she

A School History Of The United States $14.99 [T]he French held to the policy of making friends with the Indians. No pains were spared to win them to the cause of France. They were flattered, petted, treated with ceremonial respect, and became the companions, as the women often became the wives, of the Frenchmen. Much was expected of this mingling of races. It was supposed that the Indian would be won over to civilization and Christianity. But the Frenchmen were won over to the Indians, and adopted Indian ways of life. They lived in wigwams, wore Indian dress, decorated their long hair with eagle feathers, and made their faces hideous with vermilion, ocher, and soot.-from “The French and the Indians”It’s clear why A School History of the United States, first published in 1897, became a definitive textbook: simple language, straightforward ideas, and easy organization make it browsable and concisely informative. Outdated attitudes make it more quaint than provocative, yet it still serves as a quick and useful introduction to the story of the United States, from the discovery of the New World by Europeans to the war with Spain at the turn of the 20th century, particularly for those readers interested in how the American perception of the nation’s history has shifted over the last century. Handy historical maps abound, and useful appendices include the complete Declaration of Independence as well as the Constitution of the United States as it stood at the beginning of the 20th century.OF INTEREST TO: American history buffs, students of the history of educationAlso available from Cosimo Classics: McMaster’s A History of the People of the United States, From the Revolution to the Civil War: Vol. 1. and A Brief History of the United States.American historian JOHN BACH MCMASTER (1852-1932) taught at the Wharton School of Finance and Economy at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, from 1883 to 1919.

Annie, Between the States $16.89 The civil war has broken out, and Annie Sinclair’s Virginia home, Hickory Heights, is right in the line of battle. Caught up in the rising conflict, Annie and her mother tend to wounded soldiers while Annie’s older brother, Laurence, enlists in the Confederate cavalry under Jeb Stuart. Even Annie’s rambunctious baby brother, Jamie, joins John Mosby, the notorious Gray Ghost. Faced with invading armies, Annie is compelled into a riskier role to protect her family and farm. She conceals Confederate soldiers and warns Southern commanders of Union traps, and the flamboyant Jeb Stuart dubs her Lady Liberty. Annie’s loyalty is clear until a wounded Union officer is dragged onto her porch. Saved from a bullet by a volume of Keats’ poetry he keeps in his pocket, Thomas Walker startles Annie with his love of verse. After several chance encounters, Annie is surprised by her growing interest in the dark-eyed Northerner as they connect through a shared passion for poetry. As the war rages on, Annie begins to question some of the values driving Virginia’s involvement. Then tragedy befalls Hickory Heights, and Annie becomes the subject of a shocking accusation. She must confront the largest quandary of all: choosing her own course. L. M. Elliott crafts a stirring novel that carries readers from the Manassas battlefield to fancy-dress balls to the burning of the Shenandoah Valley while capturing the tenacious spirit of a young heroine facing an extraordinary, complex time in American history.

Jacob shows how the Civil War affected Washin

Ch’orti-maya Survival in Eastern Guatemala $37.58 Scholars and Guatemalans have characterized eastern Guatemala as Ladino or non-Indian. The Ch’orti’ do not exhibit the obvious indigenous markers found among the Mayas of western Guatemala, Chiapas, and the Yucatn Peninsula of Mexico. Few still speak Ch’orti’, most no longer wear distinctive dress, and most community organizations have long been abandoned. During the colonial period, the Ch’orti’ region was adjacent to relatively vibrant economic regions of Central America that included major trade routes, mines, and dye plantations. In the twentieth century Ch’orti’s directly experienced U.S.-backed dictatorships, a 36-year civil war from start to finish, and Christian evangelization campaigns, all while their population has increased exponentially. These have had tremendous impacts on Ch’orti’ identities and cultures.From 1991 to 1993, Brent Metz lived in three Ch’orti’ Maya-speaking communities, learning the language, conducting household surveys, and interviewing informants. He found Ch’orti’s to be ashamed of their indigeneity, and he was fortunate to be present and involved when many Ch’orti’s joined the Maya Movement. He has continued to expand his ethnographic research of the Ch’orti’ annually ever since and has witnessed how Ch’orti’s are reformulating their history and identity.

Death of a Nationalist $24 Madrid 1938. Carlos Tejada Alonso y Leon is a Sergeant in the Guardia Civil, a rank rare for a man not yet thirty, but Tejada is an unusual recruit.

This war has drawn international attention. In a dress rehearsal for World War II, fascists support the Nationalists, while Communists have come to the aid of the Republicans. Atrocities have devastated both sides. It is at this moment, when the Republicans have surrendered, and the Guardia Civil has begun to impose order in the ruins of Madrid, that Tejada finds the body of his best friend, a hero of the siege of Toledo, shot to death on a street named Amor de Dios. Naturally, a Red is suspected. And it is easy for Tejada to assume that the woman wearing a red scarf, caught kneeling over the body, is the killer. But when his doubts are aroused, he cannot help seeking justice.
