In a Generous Spirit
Dorothy Markey's family and culture prepared her to be a proper southern lady. Yet Markey broke free of her cultural bonds and became, instead, a feminist, a communist, and, under the pen name Myra Page, a radical journalist and novelist. Her activism on behalf of social justice, racial equality, and women's rights spanned the 1920s through her death in 1993. Page's work carried her far from her Virginia home to Moscow, Mexico, the rural South, and New York. As a journalist she wrote for the Daily Worker, the New Masses, Working Woman, and Southern Worker. Her novels captured workers' struggles in an authentic voice: The Gathering Storm, Daughter of the Hills, and Moscow Yankee. With consummate skill, Christina Baker weaves together historical research, her own and others' conversations with Page, and Page's letters and other writings. The resulting narrative is a vivid recreation of the life of an uncommon woman and her more than seventy years of striving for the things she believed in.

"Este livro faz uma intervenção historiográfica ousada na história do catolicismo negro e da religião negra nas Américas de forma mais ampla. A sua afirmação central e bem documentada é que o cristianismo negro, tanto católico como protestante, tem raízes no catolicismo português pré-tridentino. Mesmo antes do advento do comércio de escravos, o catolicismo tinha-se tornado uma religião indígena africana, embora por vezes assumisse formas pré-tridentinas e sincréticas que o tornava irreconhecível para os europeus do período pós-tridentino. Este argumento tem consequências historiográficas significativas; a confusão de longa data sobre a religiosidade das pessoas escrav...
Félix d`Herelle and the Origins of Molecular Biology
A self-taught scientist determined to bring science out of the laboratory and into the practical arena, French-Canadian Felix d’Herelle (1873-1949) made history in two different fields of biology. Not only was he first to demonstrate the use and application of bacteria for biological control of insect pests, he also became a seminal figure in the history of molecular biology. This engaging book is the first full biography of d’Herelle, a complex figure who emulated Louis Pasteur and influenced the course of twentieth-century biology, yet remained a controversial outsider to the scientific community. Drawing on family papers, archival sources, interviews, and d’Herelle’s published and...
