We travel, initially, to lose ourselves, and we travel, next, to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes... (Pico Iyer, "Why We Travel") Retired professor Dr. Clifford Hallam has spent his adult life teaching around the world. From Turkey to Thailand, Rome to Egypt, Poland to Cyprus, and nearly all points in between, he has come to know the places and people intimately: not as a tourist, but as a traveler. Lyrical, engaging, amusing, and even a bit bawdy, Reflections of a Traveling Scholar captures the beauty, ugliness, and wondrous mystery of what it means to be a stranger in a strange land. CLIFFORD HALLAM REFLECTIONS OF A TRAVELING SCHOLAR Clifford Hallam, whose academic career spanned four decades and included posts in the United States and abroad, is retired and living in North Chesterfield, Virginia. In retirement, Dr. Hallam pursues his interests in literature, literary theory, editing, and writing. He trains daily, reads widely, and corresponds with friends and family located throughout America and abroad. For personal enjoyment, he collects high-end custom folders and attends tattoo conventions on a regular basis. Reflections of a Traveling Scholar, his first book, recounts selective overseas teaching experiences and includes commentary on exotic cultures. Professor Hallam is currently preparing a memoir on coming of age in the 1950s.

Excerpt from A German Scholar in the East: Travel Scenes and Reflections The author of the German original of this book, Dr H. Hackmann (recently appointed Professor of the History of Religions at the University of Amsterdam), has spent a large part of his life in the Far East. In 1894 (being then lecturer at the University of Gottingen) he went to China in order to take up the position of German pastor in Shanghai. Here he remained for the next seven or eight years, devoting his leisure to the study of China, her people, her language, and especially her religion. From 1901 to 1903 he travelled extensively in the Far East, through Korea, Japan, China, and Burma. From the east coast of China he penetrated as far as the Burmese frontier, and down the Irrawaddy river. An account of a part of this journey was published in 1905, under the title of "Vom Omi bis Bhamo," which passed through a second edition in 1907. Dr Hackmann's chief purpose was the study of Buddhism, and with this object in view he spent much time in Buddhist monasteries, and thereby gathered valuable information. The result was collected and published in a book entitled "Der Buddhismus" (Halle, 1905), which was translated into English, 1910, under the title of "Buddhism as a Religion" (Probsthain & Co., London).

In this first comprehensive overview of the intersection of immigration law and the First Amendment, a lawyer and historian traces ideological exclusion and deportation in the United States from the Alien Friends Act of 1798 to the evolving policies of the Trump administration. Beginning with the Alien Friends Act of 1798, the United States passed laws in the name of national security to bar or expel foreigners based on their beliefs and associations—although these laws sometimes conflict with First Amendment protections of freedom of speech and association or contradict America’s self-image as a nation of immigrants. The government has continually used ideological exclusions and deportations of noncitizens to suppress dissent and radicalism throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from the War on Anarchy to the Cold War to the War on Terror. In Threat of Dissent—the first social, political, and legal history of ideological exclusion and deportation in the United States—Julia Rose Kraut delves into the intricacies of major court decisions and legislation without losing sight of the people involved. We follow the cases of immigrants and foreign-born visitors, including activists, scholars, and artists such as Emma Goldman, Ernest Mandel, Carlos Fuentes, Charlie Chaplin, and John Lennon. Kraut also highlights lawyers, including Clarence Darrow and Carol Weiss King, as well as organizations, like the ACLU and PEN America, who challenged the constitutionality of ideological exclusions and deportations under the First Amendment. The Supreme Court, however, frequently interpreted restrictions under immigration law and upheld the government’s authority. By reminding us of the legal vulnerability foreigners face on the basis of their beliefs, expressions, and associations, Kraut calls our attention to the ways that ideological exclusion and deportation reflect fears of subversion and serve as tools of political repression in the United States.

The book publishing industry is going through a period of profound and turbulent change brought about in part by the digital revolution. What is the role of the book in an age preoccupied with computers and the internet? How has the book publishing industry been transformed by the economic and technological upheavals of recent years, and how is it likely to change in the future? This is the first major study of the book publishing industry in Britain and the United States for more than two decades. Thompson focuses on academic and higher education publishing and analyses the evolution of these sectors from 1980 to the present. He shows that each sector is characterized by its own distinctive ‘logic’ or dynamic of change, and that by reconstructing this logic we can understand the problems, challenges and opportunities faced by publishing firms today. He also shows that the digital revolution has had, and continues to have, a profound impact on the book publishing business, although the real impact of this revolution has little to do with the ebook scenarios imagined by many commentators. Books in the Digital Age will become a standard work on the publishing industry at the beginning of the 21st century. It will be of great interest to students taking courses in the sociology of culture, media and cultural studies, and publishing. It will also be of great value to professionals in the publishing industry, educators and policy makers, and to anyone interested in books and their future.

Attracted to remote lands by his interest in the postcolonial struggle, Richard Wright (1908-1960) became one of the few African Americans of his time to engage in travel writing. He went to emerging nations not as a sightseer but as a student of their cultures, learning the politics and the processes of social transformation. When Wright fled from the United States in 1946 to live as an expatriate in Paris, he was exposed to intellectual thoughts and challenges that transcended his social and political education in America. Three events broadened his world view- his introduction to French existentialism, the rise of the Pan-Africanist movement to decolonize Africa, and Indonesia's declaration of independence from colonial rule in 1945. During the 1950s as he traveled to emerging nations his encounters produced four travel narratives-Black Power (1953), The Color Curtain (1956), Pagan Spain (1956), and White Man, Listen! (1957). Upon his death in 1960, he left behind an unfinished book on French West Africa, which exists only in notes, outlines, and a draft. Written by multinational scholars, this collection of essays exploring Wright's travel writings shows how in his hands the genre of travel writing resisted, adapted, or modified the forms and formats practiced by white authors. Enhanced by nine photographs taken by Wright during his travels, the essays focus on each of Wright's four separate narratives as well as upon his unfinished book and reveal how Wright drew on such non-Western influences as the African American slave narrative and Asian literature of protest and resistance. The essays critique Wright's representation of customs and people and employ a broad range of interpretive modes, including the theories of formalism, feminism, and postmodernism, among others. Wright's travel books are proved here to be innovative narratives that laid down the roots of such later genres as postcolonial literature, contemporary travel writing, and resistance literature. Virginia Whatley Smith is an associate professor of English at the University of Alabama, Birmingham. Her work has appeared in African American Review, Mississippi Quarterly, and MLA Approaches to Teaching Wright's 'Native Son.'
