Exciting new titles this season include:
• Extinction and the Human by Timothy Sweet, which ponders the realities of animal extinction and endangerment and the often divergent Native American and Euro-American narratives that surround them.
• Body Language by David Bindman, Jonathan Bober, Eileen Neff, Sid Sachs, and Ruth Fine, a fully illustrated catalog for an exhibition on the works of Larry Day (1921-1998), a distinguished painter and a dominant force in American art from the 1950s through the 1990s.
• A Right to Lie? by Catherine J. Ross, which addresses the urgent issue of whether the nation’s highest officers, including the president, have a right to lie under the Speech Clause, no matter what damage their falsehoods cause.
• Far-Right Vanguard by John S. Huntington, which chronicles the history of the ultraconservative movement, its national network, its influence on Republican Party politics, and its centrality to America’s rightward turn during the second half of the twentieth century.
• Mastering Emotions by Erin Austin Dwyer, which examines the interactions between slaveholders and enslaved people, and between White people and free Black people, to expose how emotions such as love, terror, happiness, and trust functioned as social and economic capital for slaveholders and enslaved people alike.
Penn Press is also thrilled to announce that we are now distributing books from Wharton School Press! Upcoming Wharton titles include:
