Scarlet and Black

Slavery and Dispossession in Rutgers History

Rutgers University Press

Scarlet and Black documents the history of Rutgers’s connection to slavery, which was neither casual nor accidental—nor unusual. Like most early American colleges, Rutgers depended on slaves to build its campuses and serve its students and faculty. The contributors offer this history as a usable one—to strengthen Rutgers and help direct its course for the future.

Public Catastrophes, Private Losses

Edited by Sarah Tobias and Arlene Stein; Introduction by Sarah Tobias and Arlene Stein
Rutgers University Press

The essays in this collection expand the definition of catastrophe to include not only events like pandemics, hurricanes, and wildfires but also slower-moving phenomena that have equally disastrous long-term consequences—like environmental degradation and structural racism. This book is a feminist intervention that challenges the binary between public and private, personal and political.
