The aim with the present series, The Quran: Word List, is to
present every word form in the Quran as raw data with as little
interpretation as possible. The digital text used for this purpose
is the Uthmani text of the Tanzil Quran Text. In volumes one and
two each attested word form in the Quran is listed alphabetically
with no parsing and no alteration. These are listed by word form
< lemma < root. Volume three consists of two sections. In
section one, the lemmas assigned to each attested word form are
listed. In section two, the assigned roots are listed. In assigning
each word a root and lemma, Classical dictionaries and Quran
commentaries, as well as modern Quran dictionaries have been
consulted.

In Off Whiteness: Place, Blood, and Tradition in
Post-Reconstruction Southern Literature, Izabela Hopkins explores
the remaking of whiteness in the Post-Reconstruction South as
represented in literary fiction. To focus her study, she discusses
the writings of four prominent figures: Thomas Nelson Page, Ellen
Glasgow, Charles Waddell Chesnutt, and Alice Dunbar-Nelson, who
contributed to discussions of racial and social identity during the
post-Civil War South through poetry, journalism, essays, novels,
and more. Off Whiteness draws from both sides of the color line-as
well as from both the male and female experience-to examine the
ambivalence of Southern whiteness from three particular vantage
points: place, ideality, and repeatability. Hopkins develops her
analysis across nine chapters divided into three parts. In her
exploration of these four writers with differing backgrounds and
experiences, she utilizes both their well-known and lesser-known
texts to argue against the superficial oversimplification that
"whiteness requires blackness to define itself." Hopkins's analysis
not only successfully grapples with a wide range of post-structural
theories; it also approaches the significance of language and
religion with intention and sensitivity, thereby addressing areas
that are typically ignored in whiteness studies scholarship. The
interdisciplinary nature of Off Whiteness positions it as an
engaging text relevant to the work and interests of scholars drawn
to American and Southern history, cultural and social studies,
literary studies, etymology, and critical race theory.
