Guided by compassion and a strong moral compass, EphraimTutt commanded a loyal following among general readers andlawyers alike—in fact,Tutt’s fictitious cases were so well-knownthatattorneys, judges,andlawfacultycitedthemincourtroomsandlegaltexts.PeoplereadTutt’slegaladventuresformorethantwentyyears,allthewhilebelievingtheirbelovedprotagonistwasmerelyacharacterandthatTrain’sstorieswereworksoffiction.

But in 1943 a most unusual event occurred: EphraimTutt pub-lished his own autobiography. Thepossibility of Tutt’s existence asan actual human being became asource of confusion, spurring heat-ed debates. One outraged readersued for fraud, and the legendarylawyerJohnW.DavisralliedtoTrain’sdefense.Whilethepublicquestioned

Interpreting Sacred GroundThe Rhetoric of National Civil War Parks and BattlefieldsJ. Christian Spielvogel

Interpreting Sacred Ground is a rhetorical analysis of Civil Warbattlefields and parks, and the ways various commemorativetraditions—and their ideologies of race, reconciliation, emanci-pation,andmasculinity—competefordominance.

The National Park Service (NPS) is known for its role in thepreservationofpublicsitesdeemedoftohavehistoric,cultural,andnaturalsignificance.InInterpreting Sacred Ground,J.ChristianSpielvogelstudiestheNPS’ssecondaryroleasaninterpreterorcreatorofmeaningatsuchsites,specificallyGettysburgNationalMilitary Park, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, and ColdHarborVisitorCenter.

Spielvogel studies in detail the museums, films, publications,tours,signage,andothermediaatthesesites,andhestudiesandanalyzeshowtheyshapethemeaningsthatvisitorsareinvitedto construct. Though the NPS began developing interpretiveexhibitsinthe1990sthathighlightedslaveryandemancipationas central facets to understanding the war, Spielvogel argues

that the NPS in some instancespreserves outmoded narratives ofwhitereconciliationandheroicmas-culinity, obscuring the race-relatedcauses and consequences of thewar as well as the war’s savagery.

The challenges the NPS facesin addressing these issues aremany, from avoiding unbalancedcriticism of either the Union or theConfederacy, to foregrounding raceand violence as central issues, pre-

servingclearandaccuraterenderingsofbattlefieldmovementsand strategies, and contending with the various public con-stituencies with their own interpretive stakes in the battle forpublicmemory.

SpielvogelconcludesbyarguingfortheNationalParkService’scrucialroleasacriticalvoiceinshapingtwentieth-first-centuryCivilWar public memory and highlights the issues the agencyfacesasitstrivestomaintainhistoricalintegritywhilecontendingwithantiquatedrenderingsofthepast.

In context-ualizing the struggle to memorialize Gettsyburg, Harpers Ferry, and ColdHarbor, Spielvogel reveals the politics of both the reconciliationists andemancipationists—andtherhetoricalconsequencesofbothmemorializingtraditions.

Sinclair Lewis Remembered is a collection of reminiscences andmemoirs by contemporaries, friends, and associates of LewisthatoffersarevealingandintimateportraitofthiscomplexandsignificantNobelPrize–winningAmericanwriter.

AfteratroubledcareerasastudentatYale,SinclairLewisturnedto literature as his livelihood, publishing numerous works ofpopular fiction that went unnoticed by critics.With the 1920s,however, came Main Street, Lewis’s first critical success, whichwas soon followed by Babbitt, Arrowsmith, Elmer Gantry, and Dodsworth—five of the most influential social novels in thehistoryofAmericanletters,allwrittenwithinonedecade.

Nevertheless, Lewis’s Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930 ledto controversy. Writers such as Theodore Dreiser, WilliamFaulkner, and Thomas Mann expressed their dissentwith the decision. Unable to match his previous success,Lewis suffered from alcoholism, alienated colleagues, andembraced unpopular political positions. The nadir for Lewis’sliterary reputation was Mark Schorer’s 1961 biography, Sinclair

Lewis: An American Life, whichhelpedtolegitimizethedismissalofLewis’sentirebodyofwork.

IntheelevenessaysofThe Darkness of the Present,poetandcriticSteve McCaffery argues that by approaching the past and thepresentasunifiedentities,thecontemporaryismadehistoricalatthesametimeasthehistoricalismadecontemporary.

McCaffery’s writings work against the urge to classify worksby placing them in standard literary periods or disciplinarypartitions. Instead, McCaffery offers a variety of insights intounusual and ingenious affiliations between poetic works thatmayhavepreviouslyseemeddistinctive.Hequestionstheusualassociations of originality and precedence. In the process, herepositions many texts within genealogies separate from theonestowhichtheyaretraditionallyassigned.

ThechaptersinThe Darkness of the Presentmightseemtopresentan eclectic façade and can certainly be read independently.

Theyarelinked,however,byacom-mon preoccupation reflected inthe title of the book: the anomalyand the anachronism and the waytheir empirical emergence worksto unsettle a steady notion of the“contemporary”or“new.”

Collectively, this population was

indispensabletotheevolutionoftheexistingsocialorder.

In Heaven’s Soldiers, Marotti studiesfour pillars of black liberty thatemerged during Spain’s rule andcontinued through the UnitedStates’acquisitionofFloridain1821:familytiestothewhitecommunity,

manumission, military service, and land ownership.The slave-owningcultureoftheUnitedStateserodedanumberofthesepillars, though black freedom and agency abided in waysunparalleled anywhere else in the pre–CivilWar United States.Indeed, a strong black martial tradition arguably helped totoppleFlorida’sslave-holdingregime,leadinguptothestartoftheCivilWar.

Winner of the Anne b. and James b. McMillan Prize for Southern History and Culture

SSouthern Crucifix, Southern Cross examinesthecomplexandof-tenoverlookedrelationshipsbetweenCatholicsandProtestantsintheantebellumSouth.

In sharp contrast to many long-standing presumptions aboutmistrust or animosity between these two groups, this studyproposesthatCatholicandProtestantinteractionsintheSouthwerecharacterizedmorebycooperationthanbyconflict.

Andrew H. M. Stern argues that Catholics worked to integratethemselves into southern society without compromising theirreligious beliefs and that many Protestants accepted and sup-ported them. Catholic leaders demonstrated the compatibilityofCatholicismwithAmericanidealsandinstitutions,andProtes-tantsrecognizedCatholicsasusefulcitizens,trueAmericans,andloyalsoutherners,inparticularcitingtheirsupportforslaveryandtheirhatredofabolitionism.

Crafting Prehispanic Maya KinshipBradley E. Ensor

By contextualizing classes and their kinship behavior withintheoverallpoliticaleconomy,Crafting Prehispanic Maya Kinship provides an example of how archaeology can help to explaintheformationofdisparateclassesandkinshippatternswithinanancientstate-levelsociety.

Bradley E. Ensor provides a new theoretical contribution toMayaethnographic,ethnohistoric,andarchaeologicalresearch.Ratherthanoperatingsolelyasasymbolicorderunobservableto archaeologists, kinship, according to Ensor, forms concretesocial relations that structure daily life and can be reflected inthematerial remainsofasociety.Ensorargues that theuseofcross-culturally identified and confirmed material indicators ofpostmarital residence and descent group organization enablearchaeologists—thosewiththemostdirectmaterialevidenceonprehispanicMayasocialorganization—tooverturnatraditionalrelianceoncompetingandproblematicethnohistoricalmodels.

Using recent data from an archaeological project within theChontalpa Maya region ofTabasco,Mexico, Ensor illustrates how arch-aeologistscaninterpretandexplainthediversityofkinshipbehaviorandits influence on gender within anygivenMayasocialformation.

Anthropology and the Politics of RepresentationEdited by Gabriela Vargas-CetinaEpilogue by June C. Nash

Anthropology and the Politics of Representation examinesthein-herently problematic nature of representation and descriptionoflivingpeople,specificallyinethnographyandmoregenerallyinanthropologicalworkasawhole.

InAnthropology and the Politics of Representation volumeeditorGabrielaVargas-Cetinabringstogetheragroupofinternationalscholars who, through their fieldwork experiences, reflecton the epistemological, political, and personal implicationsof their own work. To do so, they focus on such topics asethnography, anthropologists’ engagement in identity politics,representational practices, the contexts of anthropologicalresearchandwork,andtheeffectsofpersonalchoicesregardingself-involvementinlocalcausesthatmayextendbeyondpurelyethnographicgoals.

Suchreflectionsraiseanumberofethnographicquestions:Whatareethnographicgoals?Whosetstheagendaforethnographic

writing? How does fieldworkchange the anthropologist’s iden-tity? Do ethnography and ethno-graphers have an impact on locallives and self-representation? Howdo anthropologists balance long-held respect for cultural diversitywith advocacy for local people?How does an author choose whatto say and write, and what not todisclose? Should anthropologists

support causes that may require going against their informedknowledgeoflocallives?

In beautiful gray-shaded drawings, Weaver depicts the reality of the segregated and newly integrated South and her struggle to position herself as an ally to her black classmates, only to find that it’s a path fraught with pitfalls from both sides of the divide.”—Publishers Weekly

Truman Capote and the Legacyof In Cold BloodRalph F. Voss

“Truman Capote and the Legacy of ‘In Cold Blood,’ draws on previous literary forensics and [Voss’s] own scholarship to demonstrate Capote’s shocking faithlessness to the truth. . . . Even though Voss spends only a couple of chapters debunk-ing In Cold Blood (most of it is a celebration of the book and its influence), he makes it impossible for readers to deny that Capote cut corners, sweetened his material, wrote passages that argue with the facts in his notes and invented scenes.”—Reuters

Circling FaithSouthern Women on Spirituality Edited by Wendy Reed and Jennifer Horne

“If titles received awards, Circling Faith: Southern Women on Spirituality might take top prize. The book itself forms a literary and philosophical circle composed of smaller circles, capturing in form and content the complexity of Southern women’s Christ-haunted wrestles with trust in the unknowable. Jennifer Horne’s and Wendy Reed’s skilled editing crafts intricate links to form an enclosed sacred space that steps cautiously around itself. The beginning meets not an end but instead a promise of renewal.”—First Draft

Keeping the FaithOrdinary People, Extraordinary LivesWayne Flynt

“Keeping the Faith is required reading for anyone who seeks to understand the profound contradictions of Alabama gov-ernment and the profound greatness of its people. . . . Flynt tells an eloquent story of his childhood, education and early academic career, but the memoir hits its stride as he recounts his rise from college lecturer to powerful voice for the state’s poor and disenfranchised.”—Mobile Press-Register
