Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism Winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize Acclaimed for its frank and fascinating investigation of racial identity, and reissued on its ten-year anniversary, Notes from No Man’s Land begins with a series of lynchings, ends with a list of apologies, and in an unsettling new coda revisits a litany of murders that no one seems capable of solving. Eula Biss explores race in America through the experiences chronicled in these essays—teaching in a Harlem school on the morning of 9/11, reporting from an African American newspaper in San Diego, watching the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina from a college town in Iowa, and rereading Laura Ingalls Wilder in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago. What she reveals is how families, schools, communities, and our country participate in preserving white privilege. Notes from No Man’s Land is an essential portrait of America that established Biss as one of the most distinctive and inventive essayists of our time.

Ford Madox Ford's monumental work, The Parade's End Tetralogy, consists of four novels - Some Do Not, No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up, and Last Post - which collectively offer a profound exploration of love, war, and societal change during World War I. Ford's writing style is characterized by its intricate prose, psychological depth, and innovative narrative techniques, such as fragmented chronology and shifting perspectives, a reflection of the modernist movement of the time. Set against the backdrop of the war-torn Europe, the Tetralogy delves into the complex inner lives of its characters, grappling with themes of loyalty, morality, and the impact of historical events on personal relationships. The work stands as a significant contribution to English literature, showcasing Ford's masterful storytelling and keen insight into human nature. Ford Madox Ford's own experiences as a soldier during WWI and his disillusionment with the war likely inspired the creation of this epic literary work. The Parade's End Tetralogy is a must-read for anyone interested in intricate character studies, historical fiction, and the lasting effects of war on individuals and society.

In the 1920s an international team of scientists and miners unearthed the richest evidence of human evolution the world had ever seen: Peking Man. After the communist revolution of 1949, Peking Man became a prominent figure in the movement to bring science to the people. In a new state with twin goals of crushing “superstition” and establishing a socialist society, the story of human evolution was the first lesson in Marxist philosophy offered to the masses. At the same time, even Mao’s populist commitment to mass participation in science failed to account for the power of popular culture—represented most strikingly in legends about the Bigfoot-like Wild Man—to reshape ideas about human nature. The People’s Peking Man is a skilled social history of twentieth-century Chinese paleoanthropology and a compelling cultural—and at times comparative—history of assumptions and debates about what it means to be human. By focusing on issues that push against the boundaries of science and politics, The People’s Peking Man offers an innovative approach to modern Chinese history and the history of science.
