The Fat Baby is an epic collection of poignant and often controversial stories photographed and written by acclaimed social documentary photographer Eugene Richards. The culmination of a dozen years of reporting, both on and off assignment, these stories, each one different in style and tone, immerse us in the lives of Honduran coffee growers, members of a Kansas City street gang, drought-plagued villagers from Niger, and doctors in an embattled Bosnian hospital. They chronicle the birth of a first child, an explosion of family violence, the struggle of a farming family to hang on to its ancestral home, and the unearthing of a half-hidden grave said to hold the remains of a slave. Described as having an acute, sometimes hard-edged visual sensibility and a literary voice, Richards writes in order to come to terms with the complexities of what he is observing. At a time when photojournalists are often relegated to illustrating the ideas of others, he persists in interweaving his words and photographs to create boldly narrative stories that bear witness to the dramas of real lives and comment on the times in which we live. Deeply personal and prodigious in scope, The Fat Baby is a tribute to the emotional power of photography and a celebration of storytelling.

Beyond the Internationale: Revolutionary Writing by Eugène Pottier, Communard

Beyond the Internationale: Revolutionary Writing by Eugène Pottier, Communard

Many people the world over know the "Internationale." Since its appearance as a battle song on the barricades in May 1871, near the end of the short-lived but inspiring Paris Commune, the "Internationale" has been published or recorded in more than eighty languages in addition to the original French and remains the foremost anthem of transnational struggles for social justice and equality. Among the many who sing this anthem however, few know that the text was written by Eug ne Pottier (1816-1887), textile designer, member of the International Working People's Association (IWPA) founded by Karl Marx and others, and, in his words, an "obscure" participant in the February and June revolutions of 1848 before he joined the 1871 Commune as a seasoned activist. Fewer still know that when Pottier fled Paris after the Commune went up in flames during the so-called Bloody Week--in which at least ten thousand Communards were killed by the French army--he fled to the United States. There he wrote down the words of the "Internationale," along with poems, songs, and speeches given to gatherings of fellow socialists in the New York-area before returning to Paris, where he died in poverty in 1887. Beyond the Internationale features letters, speeches, poems, and songs by Pottier, over a dozen translations of The Internationale, and many illustrations. The introduction of this critical edition of Pottier's writing locates the author not only in the history and legacy of the Paris Commune of 1871 but also in the socialist and anarchist circles that welcomed him to the United States, including the Socialist Labor Party and the IWPA.

Herbert Eugene Bolton

Herbert Eugene Bolton

Albert L. Hurtado

University of California Press

This definitive biography offers a new critical assessment of the life, works, and ideas of Herbert E. Bolton (1870-1953), a leading historian of the American West, Mexico, and Latin America. Bolton, a famous pupil of Frederick Jackson Turner, formulated a concept - the borderlands - that is a foundation of historical studies today. His research took him not only to the archives and libraries of Mexico but out on the trails blazed by Spanish soldiers and missionaries during the colonial era. Bolton helped establish the reputation of the University of California and the Bancroft Library in the eyes of the world and was influential among historians during his lifetime, but interest in his ideas waned after his death. Now, more than a century after Bolton began to investigate the Mexican archives, Albert L. Hurtado explores his life against the backdrop of the cultural and political controversies of his day.
