Moses Jacob Ezekiel

Jewish, Confederate, Expatriate Sculptor

Samantha Baskind

“How do art historians write about problematic subjects? In Moses Jacob Ezekiel, Samantha Baskind offers a thoroughly researched and evenhanded account of a nineteenth-century celebrity artist whose statues and monuments are considered especially incendiary today. Rather than pigeonholing Ezekiel, Baskind skillfully grapples with the contradictions and consequences of artistic identity, then and now.”—Erika Doss, author of Memorial Mania: Public Feeling in America and Spiritual Moderns: Twentieth-Century American Artists and Religion

Used, Abused, and Sidelined

Edited by Mary E. Stuckey

“These essays do more than valorize the US Declaration of Independence, they unfold its rhetorical character, probing its rhetorical and political affordances, as well as its gaps, blindnesses, and omissions. Peeling back layers of well-meaning mythology, the essays provide a balanced reckoning with a document that has shaped discourse, inside and outside the United States, for the last 250 years.”—William M. Keith, coauthor of Beyond Civility: The Competing Obligations of Citizenship

Graphic Medicine Manifesto

Tenth-Anniversary Edition

MK Czerwiec, Ian Williams, Susan Merrill Squier, Michael J. Green, Kimberly R. Myers, and Scott T. Smith, Preface to the Tenth-Anniversary Edition by Susan Merrill Squier, Juliet McMullin, and Brian Callender

A decade ago, Graphic Medicine Manifesto established a bold new framework for understanding the intersection of comics and healthcare. It was a call to action—an invitation to rethink the ways we engage with medicine, illness, disability, and caregiving through the power of visual storytelling. Now, ten years later, this landmark volume returns in a special anniversary edition that expands and reimagines its mission for a new era.

The Monument of Tomorrow

Miguel Caballero

“Miguel Caballero’s highly innovative book reveals that cultural conservation and political conservatism did not align during the Spanish Civil War (the Spanish War, as the author rightly calls it). The book’s conservation angle sheds new light on the history of the Spanish conflict while also contributing to a better understanding of early twentieth-century concerns for cultural heritage often overshadowed by the avant-garde’s language of destruction.”—Eugenia Afinoguénova, author of The Prado: Spanish Culture and Leisure, 1819–1939

The Shmunis Family Excavations

Israel Finkelstein and Thomas Römer

This volume reports the results of the Tel Aviv University and the Collège de France’s excavations at Kiriath-jearim.
