The Brooklyn Museum published two volumes related to its groundbreaking exhibition, We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965–85, which focused on radical approaches to feminist thinking developed by women artists and activists of color. The first volume, a Sourcebook, was published in 2017 and focused on re-presenting key voices of the period by gathering a remarkable array of historical documents. Available in 2018, the second volume, New Perspectives, includes original essays and perspectives by Aruna D’Souza, Uri McMillan, Kellie Jones, and Lisa Jones that place the exhibition's works in both historical and contemporary contexts. New Perspectives also includes two new poems by Alice Walker. The book is generously illustrated with major objects from the exhibition, installation views, and other photographs. A checklist of the exhibition as well as an extensive bibliography complete the volume. Together with the Sourcebook, New Perspectives shares this important body of art by women of color, presents their voices, provides important commentary on that time and its unresolved issues, and offers extended documentation of the exhibition.

We Wanted a Revolution will be on display at the California African American Museum in Los Angeles from October 13, 2017 through January 14, 2018; the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo from February 17 through May 27, 2018; and The Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston from June 26 through September 30, 2018.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Sourcebook rounds up and republishes rare documents be iconic figures of the time, including Gloria Anzaldúa, James Baldwin, bell hooks, Lucy R. Lippard, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, Lowery Stokes Sims, Alice Walker, and Michelle Wallace. Many of the documents are reproduced in facsimile form, recreating the spirit of the period and its style.  Suddenly, it all comes rushing back — whether you were there or not. The printed page becomes a repository of soul and here you can finally be set free. Liberated from the endless scroll that is designed to zap you of the force required to organize, a Sourcebook restores to you the power you need to keep the revolution going, 360 degrees." (Miss Rosen Presents blog 2017-08-31)

"This unsurpassed collection is an excellent resource for students, educators, and enthusiastic artists. Highly recommended. All levels/libraries." (A. O. Yeboah Choice 2018-02-01)

" An invaluable reference, this volume is a true sourcebook, containing reproductions of key documents, articles, and publications from the period. Writings by curators Catherine Morris Rujeko Hockley, and many of the artists represented in the show, give context." (Victoria L. Valentine Culture Type 2017-12-19)--This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Job (The Anchor Bible, Vol. 15)

Job (The Anchor Bible, Vol. 15)
by Marvin H. P

• Hardcover: 409 pages
• Publisher: Doubleday & Company; Revised edition (March 19, 1965)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 0385008945
• ISBN-13: 978-0385008945
• Product Dimensions: 6.4 x 1.5 x 9.5 inches
• Shipping Weight: 1.6 pounds

This third edition of the Anchor Bible Book Of Job (Volume 15 in the series) contains numerous new, revised or augmented notes. Of special interest is the inclusion of readings from the earliest translation of the Book Of Job, the recently published Targum (Aramaic translation) recovered from Cave XI of Khirbet Qumran, in the Judean Wilderness near the Dead Sea, perhaps the version which was suppressed by Rabbi Gamaliel.

The Book Of Job is one of the indisputably great works of world literature. The story is well-known: a prosperous and happy man, distinguished for rectitude and piety, falls victim to a series of catastrophes. And the occasion (if not the reason) for these undeserved calamities: Satan's challenge to Yahweh to test the sincerity of Job's faith.

It is by now proverbial to refer to the patience of Job. Yet this traditional image derives only from the Prologue and the Epilogue of the book. But the Job who confronts us in the long middle section is anything but patient. His outcries against God raise the question of theodicy, or divine justice, which occupies the greater portion of Job's Dialogue with his comforters.

But it is inevitably as literature that Job must be read and enjoyed. This translation is marked by a concerted effort to capture as much as possible the poetic and metrical characteristics of the original Hebrew: the result is a version notable for its accuracy and directness. The experience of reading the Book Of Job in this translation, then, is to rediscover an exceedingly eloquent masterpiece. In the terse, rhythmic quality of the translation, the incisive comprehensiveness of the introduction and notes, Job maintains the high standard of scholarship, literateness, and readability established in The Anchor Bible.

Das Lehrbuch zeigt das Potenzial von Experimenten für die Politikwissenschaft auf, gibt eine erste Orientierung und Übersicht in den Bereich der experimentellen Politikwissenschaft und führt Studierende als auch Lehrende in deren sichere Anwendung ein. Denn die Anwendung experimenteller Methoden in der deutschen Politikwissenschaft wächst stetig. Umso verwunderlicher ist es, dass es zu deren Gebrauch bislang kein einführendes deutschsprachiges Werk gibt. Trotz einer zunehmenden Institutionalisierung und Etablierung eines eigenen experimentellen Forschungsstranges innerhalb der Politikwissenschaft steht eine Einführung und Systematisierung in diesem Methodenfeld noch weitestgehend aus.
