Raritan on War
An Anthology
Edited by Jackson Lears and Karen Parker Lears
Rutgers University Press
On War gathers together some of the finest writing on that troubling subject published in Raritan between 2003 and 2022. The editors, Jackson Lears and Karen Parker Lears, have selected work that typifies Raritan’s wide-ranging sensibility--focusing on a topic that is aesthetically rich, intellectually challenging, and morally disturbing. It is also all too timely.
Public Catastrophes, Private Losses
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.

Moving Blackness
Black Circulation, Racism, and Relations of Homespace
Rutgers University Press
Moving Blackness explores the centrality of circulation within the framework of western modernity and the racially structured regulations of mobility. Storytelling emerges as the primary mode through which blackness is conveyed: it serves as a means of circulating the lived experiences of being Black while also functioning as acts of resistance and solidarity performed by blackened individuals who were (once) colonized and enslaved.
Monuments and Memory
Archaeological Perspectives on Commemoration
University Press of Florida
This volume examines many different public monuments, exploring the cultural factors behind their creation, their messages and evolving meanings, and the role of such markers in conveying the memory of history to future generations.
John Banville
By Neil Murphy
Bucknell University Press
John Banville offers a close analysis of most of Banville’s major novels, his Quirke crime novels, and his dramatic adaptations of Heinrich von Kleist’s plays. It asserts that Banville’s fiction can be viewed both as an extended interrogation of the meaning and status of art, and that it is itself representative of the type of art admired in the pages of the novels.
Icons Axed, Freedoms Lost
Russian Desecularization and a Ukrainian Alternative
Rutgers University Press
In the years between the Soviet collapse and the Russo-Ukrainian war, Russia went from persecuting believers to jailing irreligionists, while Ukraine solidified religious pluralism and tolerance. The book richly documents and explains the development of this contrast while offering an original theoretical and methodological perspective on desecularization (the resurgence of religion’s societal role).
