In this ambitious attempt to provide a “literary and cultural” history of the term “tomboy,” Abate (Hollins Univ.) traces the word to 1553 (in the OED) but focuses on its far more widespread manifestation in the US, which dates back to 1898. The author provides a detailed look at the dynamic trajectory of the tomboy “code of conduct” in popular literature, pulp fiction, and Hollywood film. She complements the more traditional approach to the term as a gender-, age-, and sexuality-bending category by expanding it into a racialized formation. Using this intriguing argument, Abate observes that white women’s femininity and sexuality were partly built on racialized conceptions of tomboys (e.g., Jo of Little Women is described as the “dark one” of the sisters), thus displacing gender differences onto differences of race. Indeed, Abate suggests that the dynamic evolution of the tomboy represents wider social and cultural debates within the US. Abate ends by urging readers to engage in a female rebellion that is “not predicated on the appropriation of nonwhite peoples and cultures.” Summing Up: Recommended.

Although the title suggests a book for specialists (beautifully designed at that), this work serves as a terrific introduction to Afghanistan’s history and high architectural culture. Afghanistan has received much media attention over the past six years, but predominantly for its politics and wars, with negligible insight into the country’s ethnically and culturally diverse traditions. In featuring monumental gems, archaeologist Ball provides a synoptic account of Afghan history that proves accessible and insightful. Spanning eras where Buddhistic (South Asian Buddhist influences), Hellenistic (Greek), and Islamic rulers and architecture held sway, the text features breathtaking photos, detailed plans and diagrams, and site maps that accompany expository text. Afghanistan’s beautiful landscapes and numerous ethnic groups receive vivid representation, too. If there is one deficiency to Ball’s efforts, it is that his book provides no general or contemporary political map of Afghanistan. A glossary of common Afghan words as well as architectural terms helps readers navigate the foreign names and phrases that occur throughout the book. Ball has furnished a valuable addition to scholarship on Afghanistan. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels from undergraduates to professional specialists. — R. G.

Belasco (American studies, Univ. of Maryland, Baltimore County) presents the first real introductory text in food studies. Many would find explaining the “key concepts” of the emerging interdisciplinary field daunting or even impossible, but Belasco does so with clarity and humor, providing a welcome addition to Berg’s “Key Concepts” series. After a brief introduction, he organizes the themes by food and identity, convenience, and responsibility, ending with the future of food. The tone is at once intellectual and conversational, giving the reader a sense of listening to the book in a lecture hall. Sidebars of classroom-style exercises, essay/discussion questions, and chapter summaries complete the work. The effect is a deft introduction to a diverse field, brief but with little reductionism. Belasco (author of other notable titles on the topic including Appetite for Change, 2nd ed., CH, May’07, 44-5143, and Meals to Come, CH, May’07, 44-5011) keeps his training as a historian in check to provide a generalist approach. Extensive references serve both the student and the scholar. Food is a needed interdisciplinary update to texts like William Whit’s Food and Society: A Sociological Approach (1995), or Ian Atkins and Peter Bowler’s Food in Society: Economy, Culture, Geography (2001).

Philanthropy as practiced by the current generation of superrich is different from that practiced by earlier generations. Whereas once the superrich would have been willing to simply give their money away to good causes, today they are “social investors” using their business experience and business-style strategies to bring about social change and expecting both accountability and results. Bishop (economics journalist, The Economist) and Green (development economist) discuss the philosophy, strategy, and tactics of a small sample of “philanthrocapitalists.” The most recognizable include Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, George Soros, Richard Branson, Bill Clinton, Angelina Jolie, and Bono. The authors use personal interviews they and others have conducted, as well as expert analyses. The result is not traditional economics scholarship, but rather a well-researched journalistic account of the activities of a group of individuals whose past success has given them extraordinary influence over the future of the world.

[Visited Feb’09] The latest update to The Columbia Granger’s World of Poetry further expands the application and utility of this indispensable, subscription-based online literary resource. Originally published as print resources devoted to poets and poems, and later as a CD-ROM (CH, Oct’92, 30-0687), Granger’s has evolved over the course of the early 21st century into a Web-based tool with dynamic features providing access to increasingly broad and deep content. Entries cover an astonishing range of poets, poems, and subjects encompassing poetic forms and traditions from the world over. This diversity is well served by an improved search engine that allows users to search by era, school/movement, nationality, language, form, cultural identity, and author’s gender in addition to traditional options (e.g., subject, author, title).
Users may search by poet and/or poem from every screen, and also locate resources of considerable interest in other sections of the database, including History and Criticism, Glossary, and Listening Room. This last feature makes available approximately 100 audio files of contemporary poets such as Jorie Graham and Alfred Corn reading poems by major American and British figures. Other standout functions are the superior cross-indexing between different sections of the site, and the automated documentation feature that shows users the way to cite works according to MLA or Chicago styles, and refers them to other relevant primary and secondary sources when appropriate. Under Poem Information, most entries present a poem’s title, author, subjects, sources, and first and last lines, along with links to author biographies when available. Entries providing full text also include a Compare Poems tab. Although some researchers may wish the full-text search was not buried within the Advanced Search option, Granger’s remains a supremely intuitive and robust resource for readers and scholars of poetry.

In their most recent collaboration, brothers Alexander Humez and Nicholas Humez–also authors of such titles as Latin for People (CH, Dec’76) and A B C Et Cetera (CH, Apr’86)–tackle the lowly dot, the mark underlying much punctuation, abbreviation, and mathematical notation. Dots are integral to Morse code, Braille, and geometry (not only intersections and vertices but the points making up lines themselves). They are part of music, decimal notation, proofreading, Internet addresses, and punctuation–from the period, colon, and bang (!) to PowerPoint bullets and emoticons. How can one not be interested in such a ubiquitous but understudied thing? Like its subject, the book is brief but wide-ranging. This is not a straightforward history: Humez and Humez meander through etymology and culture, leaving the reader to, in effect, connect the dots. In 11 chapters (supported by 50-plus pages of notes), the authors take up codes, lists, music, abbreviation, ellipsis, computation, and punctuation, missing only a few topics (such as pixels and tattoos, diacritics, radio frequency numbers, and the bindi). A must for academic and public libraries, this is the sort of book that can liven a class on the history of orthography or design. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readers. — E. L.

Turning his attention to the Middle East, Norwegian writer Runo Isaksen explores the notion that if, as has occurred in South Africa, antagonists read each other’s literature, perhaps rapprochement could begin. Isaksen admits that before embarking on this project he knew neither an Israeli Jew nor a Palestinian Arab. During two visits to Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza (2002 and 2003), he interviewed 15 Israeli and Palestinian writers–some widely celebrated, some emerging–to learn if sharing literature could bridge a gap between the radically different and fiercely competitive historic memories, ideologies, and senses of place. Centering on the Israeli and Palestinian dilemma, the interviews (on both sides of the divide) reveal hope, pragmatism, emotionalism, cynicism, and vastly differing worldviews, and they support Isaksen’s thesis that through literature Israeli Jews and Arab Palestinians may see the other as more human and individual. This book provides insights rarely found in the literature on this subject. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers. — L. D.

Lucsko (Univ. of Detroit Mercy) brings a jeweler’s eye to his examination of the history of the automobile aftermarket, particularly the increased performance side of the business. This aftermarket business really began with the Model T, and it is still growing and going strong today. In writing about it, Lucsko is all business, his research is plentiful, and his expository prose is flawless. The logical chronological breakdown will help general readers approach this work. In a business that was truly a grassroots niche market, the author reports wonderful success stories of the “enthusiast entrepreneurs”–many who rolled up their sleeves and said, “I can do a better job.” Names like Edelbrock and Iskenderian are important to all enthusiasts, and it turns out they knew each other as part of what the author terms the “web of contacts.” Lucsko is prone to using the antiquated “mill” in referring to automobile engines, which brought a smile to this 50-something reviewer. More graphics and pictures would have been nice; this is a highly visual business in both equipment and advertising. Pictures aside, this is a very valuable contribution to automobile history and culture. Extreme notes, a good index, and even a glossary full of car terms. Summing Up: Highly recommended.

This thoughtful volume examines virtually every aspect of the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission (GTRC), which attempted to reconstruct and contextualize the tragic events of November 3, 1979. On that day, members of the Ku Klux Klan and the American Nazi Party shot and killed five anti-Klan activists at a rally organized by the Communist Workers Party. Dissatisfaction with the rather convenient narrative that arose in the immediate aftermath, as well as unanswered questions about why local officials did not protected protesters, led to the creation of the commission nearly a quarter of a century later. Magarrell (International Center for Transitional Justice) and Wesley (former communications director, Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission) explore how the GTRC came about, its evolution, and how it sifted through accounts of the tragedy and placed them in historical context. The authors demonstrate that the process was a necessary one in the context of a community still coming to grips with its past. The GTRC appears to have provided a corrective to the unfortunate willingness of many to dismiss the events of that day as unrelated to systemic injustices. The book will serve as an excellent guide for future efforts by other communities (and nations). Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. — S. E.

Seeking to determine why few African Americans or Latino students learn computer science, Margolis (UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies) and her four coauthors investigated three high schools in Los Angeles. In a school with an almost entirely Hispanic student body, the researchers found more computers than appeared in most California schools; however, the school’s administrators and the teachers concentrated on preparing students to pass annual standardized tests. Because those tests ignored computer skills, the students learned basic word processing skills at most. In the second school, the researchers found a predominately African American student body and a curriculum focused on aerospace, mathematics, and science. To their surprise, the researchers discovered that the school’s administration had cancelled computer courses, claiming students lacked interest. In the third school, there was a diverse student population, but the researchers found that minority students did not complete the introductory computer course because they found the assignments uninspiring. Thus, they could not pursue more interesting, advanced computer courses. Readers interested in works on this subject might consult J.

The oil crisis and US energy policy (or lack thereof) has been debated since President Nixon was in office, and this important issue is being revisited again under the Obama administration. Mills (petroleum economics manager, Emirates National Oil Company, Dubai) provides a very good overview of the main issues at hand. He critiques the views of key groups (geologists, economists, militarist, environmentalists, and “Neo-Luddites”) on this issue; discusses sources of current and future oil reserves and other energy sources; and contends that oil supplies are growing. Mills correctly points out the shortcomings and exaggerated claims of the pessimists when it comes to oil and the policy implications resulting from their claims. This book is a welcome addition to the literature and an excellent resource for those new to the field. It may not be useful to those already well versed in the field and familiar with the literature on this topic, including the large set of available public sources, e.g., Energy Information Administration http://www.eia.doe.gov/ (CH, Mar’07, 44-3624), International Energy Agency http://www.iea.org/, or BP’s Statistical Review of World Energy 2008 report http://www.bp.com/productlanding.do?categoryId=6929&contentId=7044622.

Very few people living during the American Industrial Revolution from 1820 to 1870 had the foresight to predict the environmental decay caused by the rapid growth of a technological society. Up until the 1970s, little was done to abate the loss of environmental quality in spite of the many books and publications decrying the uncontrolled release of pollutants. This book is a collection of contemporary treatises on various facets of the American environmental movement. The authors are distinguished environmental scientists or historians who helped mold or record environmentalism as the movement was growing. Each author presents a case study that heralded in different components of the movement. Included are essays on the role of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring on modern environmentalism, the impact of Earth Day 1970 on public health issues for African Americans, the influence of Native Americans on environmental stewardship, and the growth of wilderness protests. The coverage is impartial and gives an accurate historical perspective of the environmental movement. Each chapter contains ample primary source references.

This is a superb book, notable for both breadth and depth of coverage, on one of the most fundamental topics in economics. Economists Neumark (Univ. of California, Irvine) and Wascher (research and statistics, Federal Reserve Board) adeptly summarize the enormous literature on the minimum wage, particularly the most recent wave of results from the mid-1990s onward. Areas covered include the minimum wage’s effects on employment, earnings, and the wage distribution; the income distribution; training; educational attainment; prices; and profits. They present new results on income distribution effects of minimum wages and discuss the political economy of the minimum wage. While the authors assess the pooled results as nonsupportive of the minimum wage’s potential role as a poverty-alleviation or inequality-reducing measure (as it appears to have negative effects on employment and either negative or minimal effects on other measures, with no substantial offsetting positive effects on earnings in the lower end of the income distribution), they provide balanced coverage of the range of studies and discuss cases of conflicting results. Anyone who has read David Card and Alan Krueger’s Myth and Measurement (CH, Jul’95, 32-6362) should now read this book to update and expand their knowledge regarding the effects of minimum wages.

Nugent (Univ. of Notre Dame) offers a provocative interpretation of US diplomatic history, once focusing on the theme of expansion. At the same time, his research–grounded in monographs, scholarly articles, and congressional sources–is sufficiently up-to-date to encourage professors to revise their lectures. This highly readable account begins with the American Revolution and ends with the informal empire the US created in the Caribbean. A final chapter dealing with US global involvement overseas is too brief and superficial to buttress Nugent’s general motif. Certainly, Nugent finds much of the record most negative. Building the US nation involved not only diplomacy, negotiation, and honest purchase but “filibustering, armed conquest, cheating and lying, [and] ethnic cleansing” as well. Benjamin Franklin was underhanded in dealing with an ally; John Jay, downright treacherous. James Madison and James Monroe engaged in “chicanery, subterfuge, and bluster” to create rebellion in Louisiana, while Andrew Jackson’s activity in Florida was sheer “Bonapartism.” James K. Polk based his call to arms against Mexico upon “a string of false contentions.” The Philippine war of 1899-1902 was “as ugly as it was unnecessary.” Yet, given demographic pressures and weak neighbors, Nugent finds much expansion quite inevitable.

Rosenblum’s work stands out for two reasons. First, as she acknowledges, political theorists tend to ignore political parties. Second, Rosenblum (Harvard Univ.) offers a defense of parties and of partisanship. Rosenblum argues that what is needed is not less partisanship, but better partisanship. Rosenblum first presents the familiar antiparty critiques of political parties and partisanship. She identifies two major themes of antipartyism–parties are the “unwholesome parts” of the political process (they repress participation and encourage corruption), and they are “fatally divisive,” in that they create conflict and division in society and thwart meaningful decision making. She then presents the progressive attack on parties, which she criticizes as being nave, too moralistic, and antidemocratic. She then goes on to offer a defense of parties and partisanship. She sees parties as important in regulating rivalries, channeling political participation, and establishing the dividing lines that make politics possible. She also argues that partisanship has its value, especially when compared to so-called independents. She sees the independent as someone who takes no responsibility for politics. Rosenblum concludes by questioning under what circumstances nation-states should ban particular parties. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate, research, and professional collections. — J. F.

Urbigkit, a newspaper reporter, conservationist, and sheep rancher, presents a lucid account of the interplay of science, law, sociology, and wildlife management as applied to the introduction of Canadian gray wolves into Yellowstone Park in the early 1990s. Arguing that the Canadian wolves represent a separate subspecies of Canis lupus from those native to the northern Rockies, the author decries the homogenizing of the populations. While treating the subject fairly objectively, she has harsh feelings toward the stands taken by environmentalists and federal agencies that insist on protecting the Yellowstone wolves under the Endangered Species Act. This is a good read that shows all points of view, as well as Urbigkit’s sympathetic but unsentimental attitude toward the wild canids. The book is well documented with maps and tables showing changes in wolf populations in the northern Rocky Mountain States. It includes seven pages of references, mostly Wyoming newspaper articles and federal government documents. Summing Up: Highly recommended.

This work, premised on the conviction that understanding the Qur’an is the key to understanding Islam, insists on the importance of approaching the Qur’an in an open, critically informed manner, yet one that is sensitive to Muslim perspectives. In the author’s view, the two approaches are not mutually exclusive. Christian theologian Wagner (Moravian College) has done an impressive job of bracketing his own personal views so as to approach the Qur’an on its own terms. The result is a penetrating analysis cast in a highly readable style. In 14 substantive chapters the book covers the major issues of concern to non-Muslims. Also featured are three useful appendixes and a glossary. This volume might well serve as a text in introductory, college-level courses on the Qur’an; additionally it will be of value to general readers interested in a fresh, nonpartisan approach to Islam’s holy book.
