Apalachicola is the origin story of the Creek Indians and how they
adapted to a changing environment and shows that specific
institutions, subsistence strategies, and social organizations
developed as a risk management strategy and a form of resilience.
It is unique in its comprehensive and long-term study of a
community. It identifies and demonstrates a new way of
understanding the development of political institutions and regime
change. Incorporating the role of social groups that are under
discussed by archaeological studies, the book offers a new and
novel understanding of the development of complex societies in the
southeastern United States. It is also includes a holistic view of
the entire social and economic organizations rather than just an
aspect of the economy or politics and shows how this culture
developed a society that dealt with an unpredictable environment by
distributing risks, knowledge, and authority throughout the
society. The social and political organization of these Native
American peoples was adapted to a particular environment that was
altered when Europeans immigrated to the Americas. The book is
relevant to scholars interested in Southeastern North American
archaeology and history, ecological resilience, political change,
colonialism, gender studies, ecology, and more.

Beginners and experts alike will find a complete immersion into the
workings and nature of the Latin language embodied in the
incomparable, insuperable epistles of the great Marcus Tullius
Cicero, something which other commentators pass over or scorn. This
second volume puts "meat on the bones" of the Latin language
presented in the first volume: Ossa Latinitatis Sola: The Mere
Bones of Latin. The personal letters of Cicero provide ample meat
to enflesh the skeletal structure of the language, thus the title:
Ossium Carnes Multae: The Bones' Meats Abundant from the epistles
of Marcus Tullius Cicero. Part 1 presents 51 complete letters from
the Tyrell-Purser text. Facing each letter is an image of its
oldest manuscript edition as early as the ninth century, which are
preserved and guarded in the Medicea Laurentiana library in
Florence, Italy, witnessing to the human hand preserving this
monument of world heritage for over two millennia. Part 2 follows
with a most careful rendition into English of Tully's living,
telephone-like Latin discourse. A thorough treatment and
explanation of noteworthy elements of his natural talk follows with
numerous references to the Encounters in Volume I. All this has
students, learners, teachers, experts of the Latin language in mind
and is humbly designed to deepen the understanding and appreciation
of specific expressions and peculiarities of Cicero's language
itself. Part 3 provides 500 sentences consisting of from 1 to 5
words and suited for the beginnings or continuation of Latin
conversations: 200 declarations, 100 questions, 100 exclamations,
100 injunctions drawn from his letters. The volume is amply
indexed. All this has been done to enhance the study and use of
Latin, to popularize Cicero's correspondence, to prepare the reader
for Volume III which will deal again with the letters and their
usefulness for Latin conversation.
"A welcome addition to the burgeoning field of Queer
Studies."
-- "Journal of Homosexuality"
Queer theory arose as a challenge to the stability of sexual
categories. But is queer theory in the 1990s in danger of becoming
just another category of theoretical inquiry and just another
academic discipline? As queer studies is being legitimated within
American universities, what dangers and opportunities arise from
the process of legitimation?
The essays in The Gay '90s address these questions in two
distinct ways. The first section of the book, "Disciplinary
Reflections," reflects upon the process of disciplinary formation
as it affects lesbian and gay studies in the academy, contrasting
older academic disciplines with newer, identity-based areas of
study. The second section, "Interdisciplinary Readings,"
demonstrates the extent to which contemporary queer studies
involves practices of interdisciplinary reading and analysis.
Contributors include Dennis Allen, John Champagne, Myriam J. A.
Chancy, Gabrielle N. Dean, Leigh Gilmore, Calvin Thomas, Elayne
Tobin, Robyn Wiegman, and Thomas Yingling.
The feminist pornography debates are centered around the
opposition between pro-censorship factions and the pro-sex radicals
or sex positives. But what exactly is the relationship between
these debates and postmodern theories of reading and
performativity? What happens to these debates when they are placed
in the context of colonial or U.S. racial histories? What is the
history behind today's sexual radicalism? How radical is it?
In the first section of Sex Positives?, Nicola Pitchford, Naomi
Morgenstern, Victoria L. Smith, and Gabrielle N. Dean focus on the
recent sex wars in U.S. feminism, especially within lesbian
culture. Elissa J. Rashkin, Gaurav Desai, and James Smalls broaden
the terms of the sex wars debates in the second section to include
sexualized racial and colonial representations, from Chicana,
African, and African-American perspectives. Finally, Sander L.
Gilman, Laura Ciolkowski, and Laura Frost explore a variety of
historical contexts for understanding contemporary forms of sexual
representation and the repression of such representations.

In this groundbreaking collection, editors Daina Ramey Berry and
Leslie M. Harris place sexuality at the center of slavery studies
in the Americas (the United States, the Caribbean, and South
America). While scholars have marginalized or simply overlooked the
importance of sexual practices in most mainstream studies of
slavery, Berry and Harris argue here that sexual intimacy
constituted a core terrain of struggle between slaveholders and the
enslaved. These essays explore consensual sexual intimacy and
expression within slave communities, as well as sexual
relationships across lines of race, status, and power. Contributors
explore sexuality as a tool of control, exploitation, and
repression and as an expression of autonomy, resistance, and
defiance.
