The Gentle Tamers
A fascinating history of women on America’s western frontier by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. Popular culture has taught us to picture the Old West as a land of men, whether it’s the lone hero on horseback or crowds of card players in a rough-and-tumble saloon. But the taming of the frontier involved plenty of women, too—and this book tells their stories. At first, female pioneers were indeed rare—when the town of Denver was founded in 1859, there were only five women among a population of almost a thousand. But the adventurers arrived, slowly but surely. There was Frances Grummond, a sheltered Southern girl who married a Yankee and trav...

I, Krupskaya
"I got the idea for this book while reading Krupskaya's real memoirs. It was inconceivable to me that anyone could be as literal and serious, as dully civic minded as she seemed to be in her reminiscences. I felt she must be suppressing the "non-Socialist" truth about her life and, as I read, I began to invent the unwritten story of her personal feelings and motives. Students of the Soviet state are familiar with the story of how Stalin told Krupskaya he would get someone else to be Lenin's widow if she didn't cooperate with his policies. I have taken the liberty of writing Krupskaya's story as if this had actually happened, as if she'd been "retired" (giving her the chance to write freely about her marriage). As far as anyone knows Stalin did not carry out his threat and, except for this variation, I have not altered the recorded facts. I have added conversations and psychological detail, but I have not changed known history (only unknown history). The characters all do the things they do in history books, but they do them (in this book) for reasons not previously attributed to revolutionaries."--

Museum Representations of Maoist China
The collection, interpretation and display of art from the People’s Republic of China, and particularly the art of the Cultural Revolution, have been problematic for museums. These objects challenge our perception of ‘Chineseness’ and their style, content and the means of their production question accepted notions of how we perceive art. This book links art history, museology and visual culture studies to examine how museums have attempted to reveal, discuss and resolve some of these issues. Amy Jane Barnes addresses a series of related issues associated with collection and display: how museums deal with difficult and controversial subjects; the role they play in mediating between the object and the audience; the role of the Other in the creation of Self and national identities; the nature, role and function of art in society; the museum as image-maker; the impact of communism (and Maoism) on the cultural history of the twentieth-century; and the appropriation of communist visual iconography. This book will be of interest to researchers and students of museology, visual and cultural studies as well as scholars of Chinese and revolutionary art.

The Very Best Men
Drawing on extensive interviews with old spooks and the social friends and family of his subjects, The Very Best Men is a fascinating narrative that brings to life a crucial piece of American history.

Within the inner circles of Washington, they were regarded as the best and the brightest. ...
