Real $11.99 “Hailing from the jazz and blues-influenced swamplands of southern Louisiana, New Orleans native Jake Smith delivers both spirit and soul on Real, his major label debut. Musically, the project offers soulful, groove-based pop that sounds reflective of the richness and eclecticism of New Orleans itself. Stylistically in the vein of such popular current artists as John Mayer, Mat Kearney, and Ray LaMontagne, Smith possesses the musical chops to perform convincingly as a solo singer-songwriter, as the leader of a funky acoustic trio or in his favorite light, the frontman to a dynamic band of energetic Louisiana allies. But the strongest stimulus for Smith’s songs comes from life itself, the adversities he’s experienced and the faith that’s brought him hope in the midst of significant turmoil.” |

Popular Government $33.17 POPULAE G-OVEENMENT PBEFACE, THE four Essays which follow are connected with. studies to which, during much of my life, I have devoted such leisure as I have been able to command. Many years ago I made the attempt, in a work OB Ancient Law to apply the so-called Historical Method of inquiry to the private laws and institutions of Mankind. But, at the outset of this undertaking, I found the path obstructed by a number of a priori theories which, in all minds but a few, satisfied curiosity as to the Past and paralysed speculation as to the Future. They had for their basis the hypo thesis of a Law and State of Nature antecedent to all positive institutions, and a hypothetical system of Rights and Duties appropriate to the natural con dition. The gradual recovery of the natural condi tion was assumed to be the same thing as the pro gressive improvement of human institutions. Upon the examination, which was indispensable, of the true VI PREFACE. origin and real history of these theories, I found them to rest upon a very slender philosophical foundation, but at the same time they might be shown to have been extremely powerful both for good and for evil. One of the characteristics most definitely associated with Nature and her Law was simplicity, and thus the theories of which I am speaking brought about though less in England than in other countries many valuable reforms of private law, by simplifying it and clearing it from barbarous technicalities. They had, further, a large share in the parentage of Inter national Law, and they thus helped to mitigate in some small degree the sanguinary quarrelsomeness which has accompanied the human race through the whole course of its history. But, onthe other hand, they in my judgment unnerved the human intellect, and thus made it capable of the extravagances into which it fell at the close of the eighteenth century. And they certainly gave a false bias to all historical inquiry into the growth of society and the develop ment of law. It had always been my desire and hope to apply the Historical Method to the political institutions of men. But, here again, the inquiry into the history of these institutions, and the attempt to estimate their true value by the results of such an inquiry, are seriously PREFACE, embarrassed by a mass of ideas and beliefs which have grown up in our day on the subject of one particular form of government, that extreme form of popular government which is called Democracy. A portion of the notions which prevail in Europe concerning Popular Government are derived and these are worthy of all respect from observation of its practical work ing a larger portion merely reproduce technical rules of the British or American Constitutions in an altered or disguised form but a multitude of ideas on this subject, ideas which are steadily absorb ing or displacing all others, appear to me, like the theories of jurisprudence of which I have spoken, -to have been conceived a priori. They are. in fact, an |

She’s Mad Real: Popular Culture and West Indian Girls in Brooklyn $25.99 Overwhelmingly, Black teenage girls are negatively represented in national and global popular discourses, either as being "at risk" for teenage pregnancy, obesity, or sexually transmitted diseases, or as helpless victims of inner city poverty and violence. Such popular representations are pervasive and often portray Black adolescents’ consumer and leisure culture as corruptive, uncivilized, and pathological. In "She’s Mad Real," Oneka LaBennett draws on over a decade of researching teenage West Indian girls in the Flatbush and Crown Heights sections of Brooklyn to argue that Black youth are in fact strategic consumers of popular culture and through this consumption they assert far more agency in defining race, ethnicity, and gender than academic and popular discourses tend to acknowledge. Importantly, LaBennett also studies West Indian girls’ consumer and leisure culture within public spaces in order to analyze how teens like China are marginalized and policed as they attempt to carve out places for themselves within New York’s contested terrains. |

Popular Music in Contemporary France $109.95 While music lovers from all over the world have tried to recreate the ambience of French cafs by playing music from stars such as Piaf, Trnet and Chevalier, intellectuals, sociologists and policy makers in France have been embroiled in passionate d ebate about just what constitutes real’ French music. In the late 1950s and 1960s a wave of Anglo-American rock n’ roll and pop hit Europe and disrupted French popular music forever. The cherished sounds of the chanson were sidelined, fragmented or merged with pop styles and instrumentation. From this point on, French music and music culture have been splintered into cultural divides pop culture vs high culture; mass culture vs authentic’ popular culture; national culture vs Americanization . This book investigates the exciting and innovative segmentation of the French music scene and the debates it has spawned. From an analysis of the chanson as national myth, to pop, rap, techno and the State, this book is the first full-length study to make sense of the complexity behind the history of French popular music and its relation to authentic’ cultural identity. |

Popular Music from Vittula $8.08 "A blissfully eccentric, fiction-enhanced memoir. . . . His prose buzzes with wonder, fearlessness and ecstatic ignorance: the sensations of youth. Each chapter is an epic in miniature."-Hugo Lindgren, "The New York Times Magazine" "Haunting and glorious . . . Niemi’s finest achievement is to have created a world poised between an adult’s fantastic memories of childhood and a child’s naAve dreams of his future. Graceless sentiments like disillusionment or regret are never allowed to trespass upon Pajala’s icy rivers and twilit woods. The future remains a frantic hallucination, while the past is absurd and wondrous."-Nathaniel Rich, "Los Angeles Times Book Review" ""Popular Music from Vittula" is a tale of boyhood friendship elastic enough to include numerous digressions, some fantastical, some so precise in their sociological observation . . . that an anthropologist could make good use of them. . . . In British translator Laurie Thompson’s hands, Niemi’s language is a constant, fresh poetic surprise. . . . Even the alphabet-’a scary army of sticks and half-moons’-comes strangely alive in this marvelous book."-Michael Upchurch, "The Seattle Times" "A beautiful, poignant, often very funny novel about growing up in a remote area. Niemi writes with real poetry as he strings together the culturally rich vignettes of Matti’s experiences, snapshots of childhood that are at the same time intensely personal and universal . . . An exquisitely beautiful novel, artfully translated."-Paula Luedkte, "Booklist" Now in paperback, the enchanting, unforgettable "Popular Music from Vittula" is the single best-selling book in Swedish history. Poet and novelist Mikael Niemi grew up in Pajala in the northernmost part of Sweden, near the Finnish border. He is the founding owner of Pajala’s sole bookstore. Laurie Thompson has translated some 15 novels from the Swedish. |
