THE OTHER AMERICAN RENAISSANCE The American Renaissance: that vibrant period in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when Hawthorne, Melville, Poe, Twain, Whitman, Thoreau, James, and others produced many of the greatest works in American literature. But what were women up to during these extraordinary years? In fact, women at this time were vastly more popular and successful than their male counterparts, reaching enormous audiences via mainstream magazines. But their work was often dismissed by critics-in many cases, perhaps not coincidentally, the very male writers they were routinely outselling-as "regional" or "sentimental" fiction. Some of these women produced brilliant work that continues to entertain and surprise us today, transforming the genres and formulas of their day with subversive characters and plots and using humor, horror, or romance to carry their points. This collection spans more than 60 years, from before the upheaval of the Civil War, when women first became a major force in popular fiction, until World War I, when women like Edith Wharton and Willa Cather had obtained the respect and status previously afforded only to men. The writers included here may be less well-known than their male contemporaries, and in many cases have only recently been retrieved from obscurity, but they represent an unexplored treasure trove of American literature, featuring all the diversity and drama of women's lives in a dynamic time of conflict and change. Includes stories by: Alice Cary Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Harriet Prescott Spofford Elizabeth Stoddard Louisa May Alcott Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (Ward) Constance Fenimore Woolson Sarah Orne Jewett Rose Terry Cooke Charlotte Perkins Gilman Grace King Kate Chopin Alice Dunbar-Nelson Pauline E.

Are the deep insights of Hugo Black, William Brennan, and Felix Frankfurter that have defined our cherished Bill of Rights fatally flawed? With meticulous historical scholarship and elegant legal interpretation a leading scholar of Constitutional law boldly answers yes as he explodes conventional wisdom about the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution in this incisive new account of our most basic charter of liberty. Akhil Reed Amar brilliantly illuminates in rich detail not simply the text, structure, and history of individual clauses of the 1789 Bill, but their intended relationships to each other and to other constitutional provisions. Amar's corrective does not end there, however, for as his powerful narrative proves, a later generation of antislavery activists profoundly changed the meaning of the Bill in the Reconstruction era. With the Fourteenth Amendment, Americans underwent a new birth of freedom that transformed the old Bill of Rights. We have as a result a complex historical document originally designed to protect the people against self-interested government and revised by the Fourteenth Amendment to guard minority against majority. In our continuing battles over freedom of religion and expression, arms bearing, privacy, states' rights, and popular sovereignty, Amar concludes, we must hearken to both the Founding Fathers who created the Bill and their sons and daughters who reconstructed it. Amar's landmark work invites citizens to a deeper understanding of their Bill of Rights and will set the basic terms of debate about it for modern lawyers, jurists, and historians for years to come.

This book addresses urgent current debates on decolonisation by offering reimagined teaching and learning interventions for obtaining greater epistemic justice in the contemporary postcolonial university. At a time when debates on decolonisation have gained urgency in academic, civic and public spaces, this interdisciplinary collection by authors based at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, serves as a valuable archive documenting and reflecting on a turbulent period in South African higher education. It is an important resource for academics looking to grasp debates on decoloniality both in South Africa, and in university and teaching spaces further afield. Calling for concerted and collaborative work towards greater epistemic justice across diverse disciplines, the book puts forward a new vision of the postcolonial university as one that enables excellent teaching and learning, undertaken in a spirit of critical consciousness and reciprocity.
