Book Reviews
• Jimmy Heath, author of I Walked with Giants and his book were featured in the March 2010 issue of JazzTimes. The article, which includes an interview with the author, described I Walked with Giants as "[A] compelling 336-page book [that] captures the essence of the bebop era from an insider’s view while retaining the saxophonist’s colorful storytelling style."
Filling the Ark by Leslie Irvine was reviewed in The Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, The review read, "Irvine gives us a look at real issues regarding how we treat and use animals in everyday life, and how those decisions can impact an animal’s chance of survival in a disaster…. Irvine’s book [is] entertaining and thought provoking."
• Gerald Horne's The End of Empires was reviewed in The American Historical Review. The review read, "Horne's book is part of a growing body of literature that reinserts popular struggles into the narrative of world history. Richly documented , engagingly written, and attractively presented, this work helps to erase some of the arbitrary boundaries between subfields and provides a fresh look at the past."

New Books

Resentment's Virtue

New In Paperback!
Resentment's Virtue
Jean Améry and the Refusal to Forgive

Thomas Brudholm, Foreword by Jeffrie Murphy

"Resentment's Virtue represents an important counterpoint to the privileged status accorded to the logic of forgiveness in the transitional justice and reparations literatures. Brudholm illustrates nicely that 'negative emotions' are not only understandable in the aftermath of mass atrocity, but that they possess a moral component that is often ignored by the boosters of reconciliation."
—Andrew Woolford, co-author of Informal Reckonings: Conflict Resolution in Mediation, Restorative Justice and Reparations

Latino Lives in America

Latino Lives in America
Making It Home

Luis R. Fraga, John A. Garcia, Rodney E. Hero, Michael Jones-Correa, Valerie Martinez-Ebers and Gary Segura

A nuanced and insightful assessment of Latino life in America

For Both Cross and Flag

For Both Cross and Flag
Catholic Action, Anti-Catholicism, and National Security Politics in World War II San Francisco

William Issel

"For Both Cross and Flag breaks interesting new ground. Issel, a leading specialist on the history of 20th century San Francisco, has done an exhaustive job of researching the life and career of Sylvester Andriano. He fills out the history of conservatism in the United States and the role of religion in local and national politics. Thoroughly researched and clearly written, this excellent historical work fits very nicely at the intersection of urban history, political history, and ethnic history. It also makes important moral points."
—Carl Abbott, Portland State University
