Los sucesos americanos de inicios del siglo XIX, amén de sus aspectos propiamente políticos y administrativos, comportaron también la instalación de nacientes modos de expresión y significado de la palabra y la escritura públicas. Los que se desarrollaron en tal sentido en la Buenos Aires de entonces representan lo que, matices más matices menos, también aconteció en los demás centros urbanos de la región, precipitándose hacia un amplio panorama de cambios en las formas y funciones del discurso en sus distintas matrices. Cuál es el lugar de una "literatura" en ese contexto, cuáles los modos de leer, cuáles las figuras de letrados, cuáles las tensiones propias de los nuevos escenarios que anteceden a las revoluciones de Independencia; cuál. en definitiva, es la modernidad a la que se asoma América en esa hora poco explorada por nuestra historia se pregunta el autor de esta obra, tras lo cual nos invita a explorar y apreciar el conjunto de experiencias en que se plasmó la interacción entre la ciudad y un futuro tan incierto como promisorio.

Franklin Moses Jr. is one of the great forgotten figures in American history. Scion of a distinguished Jewish family in South Carolina, he was a firebrand supporter of secession and an officer in the Confederate army. Moses then reversed course. As Reconstruction governor of South Carolina, he shocked and outraged his white constituents by championing racial equality and socializing freely with former slaves. Friends denounced him, his family disowned him, and enemies ultimately drove him from his home state.In Moses of South Carolina, Benjamin Ginsberg rescues this protean figure and his fascinating story from obscurity. Though Moses was far from a saint—he was known as the “robber governor” for his corrupt ways—Ginsberg suggests that Moses nonetheless deserves better treatment in the historical record. Despite his moral lapses, Moses launched social programs, integrated state institutions, and made it possible for blacks to attend the state university.As a Jew, Moses grew up on the fringe of southern plantation society. After the Civil War, Moses envisioned a culture different from the one in which he had been raised, one that included the newly freed slaves. From the margins of southern society, Franklin Moses built America’s first black-Jewish alliance, a model, argues Ginsberg, for the coalitions that would help reshape American politics in the decades to come. Revisiting the story of the South's “most perfect scalawag,” Ginsberg contributes to a broader understanding of the essential role southern Jews played during the Civil War and Reconstruction.

Completely produced by students in the Purdue University Honors College, this book contains ten essays by undergraduate students of today about their forebears in the class of 1904. Two Purdue faculty members have provided a contextualizing introduction and reflective epilogue. Not only are the biographical essays written by students, but the editing, typesetting, and design of this book were also the work of Purdue freshmen and sophomores, participants in an honors course in publishing who were supervised by the staff of Purdue University Press. Through their individual studies, the authors of the biographies inside this book were led in interesting and very different directions. From a double-name conundrum to intimate connections with their subjects’ kin, their archival research was rife with unexpected twists and turns. Although many differences between modern-day university culture and the campus of 1904 emerge, the similarities were far more profound. Surprising diversity existed even at the dawn of the twentieth century. Students intimately tracked the lives of African Americans, women, farm kids, immigrants, international students, and inner-city teens, all with one thing in common—a Purdue education. This study of Purdue University’s 1904 campus culture and student body gives an insightful look into what the early twentieth-century atmosphere was really like—and it might not be exactly what you’d think.

Este livro reúne ensaios sobre a história do Brasil a partir da descrição de uma galeria de tipos sociais e de tiques comportamentais que a sociedade brasileira construiu e consolidou para si ao longo do tempo. É, em outras palavras, um livro sobre pequenas permanências, sobre pequenos traços do país e do seu povo que, de tanto serem repetidos, lembrados, discutidos, por vezes cantados em verso e prosa, ganharam ares de verdade e produziram impactos sociocomportamentais mensuráveis.
