Vanderbilt University Press is pleased to announce the launch of

the book series New Perspectives on Jacksonian America, edited by
Mark Cheathem and Beth Salerno.
This series examines the period from 1812 to 1861, spanning the decades
when Andrew Jackson was a significant figure both in life and in m
emory.
The chronological definition of this series recognizes the importance
of the War of 1812 in elevating Jackson to national recognition and his
continued importance, even after his death in 1845, to United States
politics and society in the years leading up to the Civil War. But while
Jackson gives one name to this period, alternative titles of early republic,
antebellum, and age of association make clear how political, economic,
sectional, and organizational movements intersected to shape this critical
era.
New Perspectives on Jacksonian America looks to publish works that
address the centrality of the Jacksonian period and its role in shaping the
United States during these decades and beyond. The editors seek works
that explore events leading to, occurring in, or developing out of the
period. We are particularly interested in books that address the democratization of the United States, broadly defined, and the many groups that
jockeyed for power and influence in that process.
Authors interested in submitting proposals for consideration should
contact Mark Cheathem at mcheathem@cumberland.edu or Beth Salerno
at bsalerno@anselm.edu.

US HISTORY / POLITICS / ECONOMICS

Exploring the era when taxation battles spilled beyond the halls
of Congress and gave rise to democracy before the Civil War

Tariff Wars and the Politics of Jacksonian America

WILLIAM K. BOLT

S outherners alleged the tariff forced them

to buy goods at increased prices. Having
lost the argument against the tariff on its
merits, in the 1820s southerners began
to argue the Constitution did not allow
Congress to enact a protective tariff. In
this fight, we see increased tensions between northerners and southerners in the
decades before the Civil War began.
As Tariff Wars reveals, this struggle
spawned a controversy that placed the
nation on a path that would lead to the
early morning hours of Charleston Harbor
in April of 1861.

Bolt wisely integrates the discussion of the

economic aspect of tariff rates with the
political dimension. We discover shifting
viewpoints, pledges, promises, half-truths,
and outright deceit deftly engaged in by the
likes of Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Andrew
Jackson, and James K. Polk. This volume is
critical to understanding the intersection of
the American economy and politics in the
antebellum period.
Janie Williams

efore the Civil War, the American

people did not have to worry about a
federal tax collector coming to their
door. The reason why was the tariff, taxing
foreign goods and imports on arrival in the
United States. Tariff Wars and the Politics of
Jacksonian America attempts to show why
the tariff was an important part of the national narrative in the antebellum period.
The debates in Congress over the tariff
were acrimonious, with pitched arguments
between politicians, interest groups, newspapers, and a broader electorate.
The spreading of democracy caused
by the tariff evoked bitter sectional controversy among Americans. Northerners
claimed they needed a tariff to protect
their industries and also their wages.

Formerly the associate director of media

relations at the Vanderbilt athletic department
and the first-ever media relations manager
for the Tampa Bay Rays, Andrew Maraniss is
now a partner at McNeely Pigott & Fox Public
Relations. Andrew, the son of Pulitzer Prize

Vanderbilt on the Fred RussellGrantland Rice

he first interviewed Wallace in 1989 for a black

ased on more than eighty interviews,

this fast-paced, richly detailed biography
of Perry Wallace, the first African Ameri
can basketball player in the SEC, digs deep
beneath the surface to reveal a more complicated and profound story of sports pioneering than weve come to expect from the
genre. Perry Wallaces unusually insightful
and honest introspection reveals his inner
thoughts throughout his journey.
Wallace entered kindergarten the year
that Brown v. Board of Education upended
separate but equal. As a 12-year-old, he
sneaked downtown to watch the sit-ins at
Nashvilles lunch counters. A week after
Martin Luther King Jr.s I Have a Dream
speech, Wallace entered high school, and
later saw the passage of the Civil Rights and
Voting Rights acts.
The world seemed to be opening up at
just the right time, and when Vanderbilt recruited him, Wallace courageously accepted
the assignment to desegregate the SEC. His
experiences on campus and in the hostile

Thorough and engaging . . . a long-overdue

tribute.

With insight into the motivation and maturing

of an African American man amid rabid
hostility in the age of desegregation, Maraniss
presents social and sports historians and
interested readers with an engaging tour that
exposes the challenges of change in the South
and in college sports with the arrival of black

gymnasiums of the Deep South turned out

to be nothing like he ever imagined.
On campus, he encountered the leading
civil rights figures of the dayincluding
Stokely Carmichael, Martin Luther King Jr.,
Fannie Lou Hamer, and Robert Kennedy
and he led Vanderbilts small group of black
students to a meeting with the university
chancellor to push for better treatment.
On the basketball court, he experienced an
Ole Miss boycott and the rabid hate of the
Mississippi State fans in Starkville.
The final basket of Wallaces college
career was a cathartic and defiant dunk,
and the story Wallace told to the Vanderbilt
Human Relations Committee and later the
Tennessean was not the simple story of a
triumphant trailblazer that many people
wanted to hear. At the risk of being labeled
ungrateful, he spoke truth to power in
describing the daily slights and abuses he
had overcome and what Martin Luther King
had called the agonizing loneliness of a
pioneer.

Powerfully told . . .

A thoroughly researched and compelling

account of Perry Wallace. . . . As much history
lesson as biography, Maranisss account paints
a detailed picture of the civil rights movement
on several levels: in gymnasiums, on campuses,

combination of sports and sociopolitical
history will appeal to both basketball fans and
students of civil rights.

How proven treatments for HIV/AIDS were found, then withheld for decades
from people in poor countries

Lethal Decisions
The Unnecessary Deaths of Women and Children from HIV/AIDS
ARTHUR J. AMMANN, MD
Foreword by M ich a e l G o t t l i e b, M D

his first-person account by one of the

pioneers of HIV/AIDS research
chronicles the interaction among the
pediatric HIV/AIDS community, regulatory
bodies, governments, and activists over more
than three decades. After the discovery of
AIDS in a handful of infants in 1981, the next
fifteen years showed remarkable scientific
progress in prevention and treatment, although blood banks, drug companies, and
bureaucrats were often slow to act. 1996 was
a watershed year when scientific and clinical
HIV experts called for treating all HIV-
infected individuals with potent triple combinations of antiretroviral drugs that had been
proven effective. Aggressive implementation
of prevention and treatment in the United
States led to marked declines in the number
of HIV-related deaths, fewer new infections
and hospital visits, and fewer than one hundred infants born infected each year.
Inexplicably, the World Health Orga
nization recommended withholding treat
ment for the majority of HIV-infected
individuals in poor countries, and clinical

Arthur Ammann, a veteran in the war against

AIDS, has meticulously chronicled the history
of pediatric HIV infection. In particular, he
has critically examined the causes for the
unnecessary delays in implementing best
practices to block mother-to-child transmission
of HIV in the developing world. This
retrospective reevaluation provides valuable
lessons as we prospectively confront public
health challenges, now and in the future.

Research Center, was Time magazine Man of the Year, 1996.

researchers embarked on studies to evaluate

inferior treatment approaches even while
the pandemic continued to claim the lives of
millions of women and children. Why did it
take an additional twenty years for international health organizations to recommend the
treatment and prevention measures that had
had such a profound impact on the pandemic
in wealthy countries? The surprising answers
are likely to be debated by medical historians
and ethicists.
At last, in 2015, came a universal call for
treating all HIV-infected individuals with
triple-combination antiretroviral drugs. But
this can only be accomplished if the mistakes
of the past are rectified. The book ends with
recommendations on how the pediatric HIV/
AIDS epidemic can finally be brought to an
end.

In Lethal Decisions, Arthur Ammann traces the

history of the pediatric HIV/AIDS epidemic from
the early discoveries and extraordinary successes
through the dark period of inexcusable delays
in prevention and treatment. . . . The book is
a must-read for those who seek to learn from
the HIV/AIDS pandemic how to navigate the
intricacies and consequences of working with
large bureaucratic organizations, established
to protect women and children but too often
failing to honor womens dignity and to ensure
their equal access to health care.

rom Viagra to in vitro fertilization,

new technologies are rapidly changing
the global face of reproductive health.
They are far from neutral: religious, cultural, social, and legal contexts condition
their global transfer. The way a society
interprets and adopts (or rejects) a new
technology reveals a great deal about the
relationship between bodies and the body
politic. Reproductive health technologies
are often particularly controversial because

of their potential to reconfigure kinship

relationships, sexual mores, gender roles,
and the way life is conceptualized. This
collection of original ethnographic research spans the region from Morocco and
Tunisia to Israel and Iran and covers a wide
range of technologies, including emergency contraception, medication abortion,
gamete donation, hymenoplasty, erectile
dysfunction drugs, and gender transfor
mation.

A pioneering study of conflicting memories in Israel-Palestine

and a model for studying violent conflict around the globe

Memory Activism
Reimagining the Past for the Future in Israel-Palestine
YIFAT GUTMAN

Recent instances of memory activism in

Israel-Palestine allow Yifat Gutman to
reconceptualize both memory politics and
peace activism, and thus to offer memory
studies important new paradigms. Her
ethnography of activist groups highlights
hopeful alternatives to official memorials and
commemorations of troubled histories. As
this groundbreaking study shows, memory
activists can take responsibility for the past
even as they imagine and work for a more just
future. Memory Activism represents engaged
scholarship at its best.

Yifat Gutmans study of a contemporary Israeli

counter-memory and the cultural practices

because it shows that even a hot topic like
contested memory can be subjected to a lucid,

attering States explores the most

personal part of peoples lives as they
intersect with a uniquely complex state
system. The book examines how statecraft
shapes domestic violence; how a state
defines itself and determines what counts
as a family; how a state establishes sovereignty and defends its borders; and how a
state organizes its legal system and forges
its economy. This ethnography includes
stories from people, places, and perspectives not commonly incorporated into
domestic violence studies, and, in doing
so, reveals the transformation of intimate
partner violence from a predictable form
of marital trouble to a publicly recognized
social problem.
The politics of domestic violence create
novel entry points to understanding how,
although women may be vulnerable to
gender-based violence, they do not necessarily share the same kind of belonging

Because US coverage of the Palestinian-Israeli

conflict rarely includes any mention of intimate
violence, and even more rarely of Palestinian
or Druze womens experiences and suffering
as mothers and wives, Adelmans careful
and multilayered examination of womens
experiences of state and family will contribute
to a greater understanding of multiple forms of
violence in the areaviolence that is not limited
to the political violence prevalent in media
coverage.

to the state. This means that markers of

identity and power, such as gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion and religiosity, and
socio-economic and geographic location,
matter when it comes to safety and pathways to justice.
The study centers on Israel, where
a number of factors bring connections
between the cultural politics of the state
and domestic violence into stark relief: the
presence of a contentious multinational
and multiethnic population; competing
and overlapping sets of religious and civil
laws; a growing gap between the wealthy
and the poor; and the dominant presence
of a security state in peoples everyday lives.
The exact combination of these factors
is unique to Israel, but they are typical of
states with a diverse population in a time
of globalization. In this way, the example of
Israel offers insights wherever the political
and personal impinge on one another.

Battering States is methodologically impressive,

building on long-term ethnographic research
in a variety of settings; interviews with
victims, service care workers, advocates, and
representatives of the state; as well as an
impressive array of historical, legal, and other
international and local texts.

The mismatch between public resources and the long-term needs of

survivors of interpersonal violence

Hidden Costs and Unintended Consequences for Women in the
Domestic Violence Service System
SARA SHOENER

pecialized public resources for survi vors of intimate partner violence (IPV)
are increasingly common and diverse
from protection order courts and dedicated
domestic violence units in police precincts
to a vast network of community-based
emergency shelters and counseling services. Yet little consensus exists regarding
which resources actually work to reduce
violence and help survivors lead the lives
they would like to live. This book is an account of these resources and IPV survivors
experiences with them in three communities in the United States.
Through detailed observations of
services such as court procedures, public
benefits processes, and community-based

IPV programs as well as in-depth interviews with dozens of IPV survivors and
practitioners, Shoener describes how our
current institutional response to IPV is
often not usefuland sometimes quite
harmfulfor IPV survivors with the least
material, social, and cultural capital to
spare. For these women, as the interviews
vividly record, IPV has long-term economic and social consequences, disrupting
career paths and creating social isolation.

with a d
etailed ethnography of the lives
of female South African trial participants,
this book brings to light issues of economic
insecurity, racial disparities, and spiritual
insecurities in Johannesburgs townships.
Built on a series of tales ranging from
strategy sessions at the National Institutes
of Health to witchcraft accusations against
the trial, Negotiating Pharmaceutical
Uncertainty illuminates the everyday social
lives of clinical trials.
As embedded anthropologists, Saethre
and Stadler provide a unique and nuanced
perspective of the reality of a clinical trial
that is often hidden from view.

New for Fall & Winter 2016

Jonathan Stadler is a
senior researcher at the Wits
Reproductive Health and HIV
Institute in Johannesburg, South
Africa.
