Slavery and Class in the American South
Slavery and Class in the American South reveals how work, family, and connections that made for socioeconomic differences among the enslaved of the South are critical components of the American slave narrative.
To Tell a Free Story
To Tell A Free Story traces in unprecedented detail the history of Black autobiography from the colonial era through Emancipation. Beginning with the 1760 narrative by Briton Hammond, William L. Andrews explores first-person public writings by Black Americans. Andrews includes but also goes beyond slave narratives to analyze spiritual biographies, criminal confessions, captivity stories, travel accounts, interviews, and memoirs. As he shows, Black writers continuously faced the fact that northern whites often refused to accept their stories and memories as sincere, and especially distrusted portraits of southern whites as inhuman. Black writers had to silence parts of their stories or rely on subversive methods to make facts tellable while contending with the sensibilities of the white editors, publishers, and readers they relied upon and hoped to reach.
Butcher's Crossing
**NOW A MAJOR FILM** BY THE AUTHOR OF STONER Will Andrews is no academic. He longs for wildness, freedom, hope and vigour. He leaves Harvard and sets out for the West to discover a new way of living. In a small town called Butcher's Crossing he meets a hunter with a story of a lost herd of buffalo in a remote Colorado valley, just waiting to be taken by a team of men brave and crazy enough to find them. Will makes up his mind to be one of those men, but the journey, the killing, harsh conditions and sheer hard luck will test his mind and body to their limits.
The Essential Truth
"Ben Smith's comfortable career as an advertising executive is turned upside down when his agency's founder mysteriously dies and Ben has to take over. He becomes the victim of Watergate-like dirty tricks because his agency does the campaign advertising for Congresswoman Janice Theilen, who is running against Senator William Howard for his senate seat. Howard is controlled by the head of a rival advertising agency, billionaire Sheldon Hanrahan, who needs Howard to win the election so he can launch him into the presidency of the United States and impose his radical vision on America. To stop Sheldon, Ben must confront demons from his past--and learn to be a leader"--Page 4 of cover.

Dissenting Japan
Conformist, mute and malleable? Andrews tackles head-on this absurd caricature of Japanese society in his fascinating history of its militant sub-cultures, radical societies and well-established traditions of dissent. This is the first comprehensive history in English of political radicalism and counterculture in Japan, as well as the artistic developments during this turbulent time.
