Tigers of a Different Stripe takes readers inside the unique world of merengue típico, a traditional music of the Dominican Republic. While in most genres of Caribbean music women usually participate as dancers or vocalists, in merengue típico they are more often instrumentalists and even bandleaders—something nearly unheard of in the macho Caribbean music scene. Examining this cultural phenomenon, Sydney Hutchinson offers an unexpected and fascinating account of gender in Dominican art and life. Drawing on over a decade of fieldwork in the Dominican Republic and New York among musicians, fans, and patrons of merengue típico—not to mention her own experiences as a female instrumentalist—Hutchinson details a complex nexus of class, race, and artistic tradition that unsettles the typical binary between the masculine and feminine. She sketches the portrait of the classic male figure of the tíguere, a dandified but sexually aggressive and street-smart “tiger,” and she shows how female musicians have developed a feminine counterpart: the tíguera, an assertive, sensual, and respected female figure who looks like a woman but often plays and even sings like a man. Through these musical figures and studies of both straight and queer performers, she unveils rich ambiguities in gender construction in the Dominican Republic and the long history of a unique form of Caribbean feminism.

The all-time Detroit Tiger team, as recently determined by fan balloting, was announced at the conclusion of the 1999 season at the time the final game was played in historic Tiger Stadium. With the opening of a brand-new stadium, Comerica Park, in April 2000, this book looks back over a century of Tiger baseball and highlights the careers of not only the all-time team but many other great Tiger players as well. The all-time team consists of Sparky Anderson, manager; Bill Freehan, catcher; Hank Greenberg, first base; Charlie Gehringer, second base; George Kell, third base; Alan Trammell, shortstop; Ty Cobb, Al Kaline, and Kirk Gibson, outfield; and Hal Newhouser, Jack Morris, Mickey Lolich, and John Hiller, pitchers. Cochrane, Kuenn, Colavito, Horton, Cash, and many other Tiger greats from the past and present are also featured, as are memorable World Series moments, historic home runs, and great hitting and pitching performances.

Tigers of the World, Second Edition explores tiger biology, ecology, conservation, management, and the science and technology that make this possible. In 1988, when the first edition was published, tiger conservation was still in its infancy, and two decades later there has been a revolution not only in what is known, but how information about tigers is obtained and disseminated. In the fast changing world of conservation, there is a great need to summarize the vast and current state-of-the-art, to put this into historical perspective, and to speculate in what yet remains to be done.Tigers of the World, Second Edition fulfills this need by bringing together in a unique way the world's leading tiger experts into one volume. Despite the challenges ahead, there are bright spots in this story and lessons aplenty not only for tiger specialists but large carnivore specialists, conservation biologists, wildlife managers, natural resource policymakers, and most importantly the caring public. - Examines the past twenty years of research from the world's leading tiger experts on biology, politics, and conservation - Describes latest methods used to disseminate and obtain information needed for conservation and care of this species - Includes coverage on genetics and ecology, policy, poaching and trade, captive breeding and farming, and the status of Asia's last wild tigers - Excellent resource for grad courses in conservation biology, wildlife management, and veterinary programs - New volume continues the classic Noyes Series in Animal Behavior, Ecology, Conservation and Management

"In Bridging Sonic Borders, Sharina Maíllo-Pozo focuses on the intersections between Dominican, Caribbean, Afro-diasporic, and U.S. American popular music genres (hip-hop, African-American jazz, blues, pop, and rock, different types of merengue) and literature by authors from different generations who write within the Dominican Republic and the many diasporic spaces of New York in Spanish, English, and Dominicanish (a mixture of English and Dominican Spanish). She dubs novels such as La guaracha del Macho Camacho by Luis Rafael Sánchez (1976) as the beginning of a subgenre of "sonic literary texts that broke away from a long literary tradition in the Dominican Republic under the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo that valorized Hispanophilia, heteronormativity, and nation-building." In this study, she examines how migrations and these cultural interactions re-imagine identity with music as a space to think about sound and the uses (and absence, at times) of it. The use and description of music in literature of the Spanish-speaking Caribbean, and the Dominican Republic in particular, from the 1970s onwards deeply shaped new aesthetics and self-expression and it developed a new interest in publishing Caribbean authors in the U.S. For Maíllo-Pozo, music in these texts becomes a way of exploring memory and nostalgia, and a way of situating people in specific spaces while also drawing on a longing for home after immigration. These novels and memoirs were also a place to re-center people who are often invisible: the working class, those of African-descent, rural, and queer people. She moves on to consider literary work in the 1990s and early 2000s that focused on figures such as the iconic rock musician Luis "Terror" Dias' life and music as a way of thinking about the "in-between" identity of being both Dominican and a New Yorker. Memoir and fictional writing by Afro-Dominicanyork Latinas are also a way to explore how the early foundational years of hip hop in New York were a place of freedom and invention while not ignoring the fact that it could also be a place of racialized disenfranchisement for people from many different parts of the Dominican diaspora in the city"--

"This book is a highly personal glimpse into the world of precinct, district, and county politics. It deals with several stripes of the Tammany Tiger and brings into close focus some of the most forceful background figures in New York City's political framework. Primarily, it is a forty-year panorama of Tammany practices and personalities."—from A Stripe of Tammany's TigerIn this fascinating book, first published in 1966, Louis Eisenstein, a Tammany precinct captain from Manhattan’s Lower East Side, sets out with his coauthor Elliot Rosenberg to chronicle the evolution—or rather devolution—of New York City politics through the first seven decades of the twentieth century. Eisenstein imbues his lively narrative with an overarching theme: that personal interactions and good faith between those at all levels of power are of paramount importance both for sustained political success and for competent municipal administration.
