Like cotton, indigo has defied its humble origins. Left alone it might have been a regional plant with minimal reach, a localized way of dyeing textiles, paper, and other goods with a bit of blue. But when blue became the most popular color for the textiles that Britain turned out in large quantities in the eighteenth century, the South Carolina indigo that colored most of this cloth became a major component in transatlantic commodity chains. In Red, White, and Black Make Blue, Andrea Feeser tells the stories of all the peoples who made indigo a key part of the colonial South Carolina experience as she explores indigo's relationships to land use, slave labor, textile production and use, sartorial expression, and fortune building. In the eighteenth century, indigo played a central role in the development of South Carolina. The popularity of the color blue among the upper and lower classes ensured a high demand for indigo, and the climate in the region proved sound for its cultivation. Cheap labor by slaves—both black and Native American—made commoditization of indigo possible. And due to land grabs by colonists from the enslaved or expelled indigenous peoples, the expansion into the backcountry made plenty of land available on which to cultivate the crop. Feeser recounts specific histories—uncovered for the first time during her research—of how the Native Americans and African slaves made the success of indigo in South Carolina possible. She also emphasizes the material culture around particular objects, including maps, prints, paintings, and clothing. Red, White, and Black Make Blue is a fraught and compelling history of both exploitation and empowerment, revealing the legacy of a modest plant with an outsized impact.

Excerpt from Songs and Tales From the Dark Continent: Recorded From the Singing Note. - Ba'ntu African words are usually accented on the penultima, or syllable before the last. The future of the black African, whether on the Dark Continent or in the Americas, is to-day sharply silhouetted against that red which still burns in the sky although the fires or war are quenched. How much colonial expansion in Africa and the desire for it may have contributed to the deep underlying causes of the world-war, one fact is certain: the African, who had seen his land wrested from him by wealth-seeking European ambition, was summoned to stand shoulder to shoulder with the white man in the white man's country helping him to fight his battles. And no one questioned his loyalty. The war has taught the white man that he needs the black as the black man needs the white. For neither in their struggle nor in their advance can races to-day be independent of each other. Though the quest for power, for dominion, for economic supremacy which meant the oppression and exploitation of simpler, weaker peoples, recoiled with tragic fatality upon the white race itself - a boomerang, slaying the thrower - yet the war leaped beyond the white man and caught the darker races in its clutch. And though the grip was hideous and bloody, yet it linked the world together; and doubtless, when the dust shall clear, we shall find that men of diverse colors and creeds, men high and low, have been brought to know one another as never before. We Caucasians have known the black race for the most part from the outside only. We have thought of the natives of Africa and the Negroes in America chiefly as a labor supply. Though scholars have written of Africa and of its indigenous culture, history and folk-lore, the white man in general has known little of the soul of the black man. The African songs in this book and the various types of Negro songs in separate volumes of this same series have been gathered and written down not alone for their intrinsic interest; they are here offered for what they reveal of the mind and heart of the black man and of his life and customs.

The second volume in Robert Scheina's definitive study of Latin American military history draws upon years of extensive research and teaching in the field. Although wags in the United States have quipped that if Latin America's military forces were not constantly seeking political power they would have nothing to do, Scheina describes how these men have not only bravely defended their own homelands from foreign enemies but have also gone abroad to fight in both world wars and in the Korean War. This groundbreaking volume also examines the numerous U.S. interventions in Latin America during the twentieth century and the various motivations for them, ranging from the petty interests of influential North American businesses to global concerns with grand strategy which, for example, resulted in the building of the Panama Canal. Scheina concludes by exploring the role of Latin America in the Cold War and Colombia's ongoing conflict with the drug cartels. He focuses on operational history in the context of war as an instrument of politics and society, including insightful analyses of the military as an institution and of its relations with civilian government. Latin America's Wars fills a void in the literature, broadens U.S. readers' understanding of their neighbors, and serves as a point of departure for new scholarship.
