Winner, Lawrence W. Levine Award, Organization of American Historians Tribe, Race, History examines American Indian communities in southern New England between the Revolution and Reconstruction, when Indians lived in the region's socioeconomic margins, moved between semiautonomous communities and towns, and intermarried extensively with blacks and whites.

Shedding new light on regional developments in class, race, and culture, this groundbreaking study is the first to consider all Native Americans throughout southern New England."Mandell has made a very valuable contribution to our understanding of Native American history in a period long overlooked."--American Historical Review"A carefully crafted, well-researched book . . . This review does not do justice to this rich account of the complex interactions of race, ethnicity, class, and gender in the survival of native peoples."--Journal of American History"Mandell's superb book on a long-neglected subject should affect the way the larger narrative of this era of American history is written."--Journal of Interdisciplinary History Daniel R.

Winner, Outstanding Publication Award, American Educational Research AssociationEtched into America's consciousness is the United Negro College Fund's phrase "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." This book tells the story of the organization's efforts on behalf of black colleges against the backdrop of the cold war and the civil rights movement.Founded during the post-World War II period as a successor to white philanthropic efforts, the UNCF nevertheless retained vestiges of outside control. In its early years, the organization was restrained in its critique of segregation and reluctant to lodge a challenge against institutional and cultural racism. Through cogent analysis of written and oral histories, archival documents, and the group's outreach and advertising campaigns, historian Marybeth Gasman examines the UNCF's struggle to create an identity apart from white benefactors and to evolve into a vehicle for black empowerment.The first history of the UNCF, Envisioning Black Colleges draws attention to the significance of black colleges in higher education and the role they played in Americans' struggle for equality."A vivid and comprehensive account of the history of the United Negro College Fund."--Teachers College Record"So many issues are imbedded in the intersection of race and philanthropy, yet so few researchers have tried to probe them. Gasman is to be admired for being bold enough to examine the 'double consciousness' that existed for both Blacks and Whites in leading and supporting the UNCF."--Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly"A thoughtful, incisive history of the UNCF."--Diverse Issues in Higher Education"A solid basis for continued consideration of the intersections of race, philanthropy, and higher education."--Journal of American History"Gasman convinces the reader that agency is complex and compelling, and as a result she reminds the reader that the historical and contemporary ironies of opportunity in this democracy deserve exploration and discussion."--Review of Higher Education"Envisioning Black Colleges is a worthy addition to the larger field of philanthropic history, and it brings new depth to the study of the history of African American higher education in the US."--NEA Higher Education Journal"Marybeth Gasman has provided an excellent study of the United Negro College Fund."--Register of the Kentucky Historical Society"Professor Gasman fills an important and neglected gap in the history of black higher education and its ongoing relationship with philanthropy in the mid- to late-twentieth century."--History of Education"Gasman's book is a very informative history of the founding and the evolution of the UNCF during the period examined. Her use of visual images from UNCF campaign advertisements is powerful, underscoring their strong symbolism reflective of the times and each story deftly told."--Oral History Review

The violent and hyper strain of masculinity in modern America is rooted in historical memory, as John Pettegrew demonstrates in this sharply critical study of the cultural construction of sexual difference and the male instinct for aggressiveness. Broadly gauged and deeply researched institutional histories of social science, popular literature, college football, military culture, and the law divulge a master de-evolutionary impulse of projecting brutishness into the distant human and animal past where late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century men could embrace it as the predominant natural trait of manhood."[A] vivid, massively researched history of 'hyper-masculine' sensibility at the turn of the twentieth century . . . An instructive and provocative view of men's dark side."--Men and Masculinities"This fascinating and ambitious study explores how an aggressive 'de-evolutionary' model of masculinity was woven into a broad range of American institutions . . . Pettegrew brings together feminist theory, 'an anthropological ironist perspective' and a wealth of gender studies scholarship to investigate the development of a pervasive mindset of brutish masculinity within a rich selection of archival and popular cultural materials."--Gender and History"Pettegrew's book remains rigorous and passionate in its narration of the historic appeal as well as the immediate dangers of de-evolutionary masculinity."--American Historical Review"Pettegrew demonstrates how . . . Americans projected preexisting gender biases onto the behavior of animals and 'primitive' peoples, thereby rationalizing the aggressive, and often violent, actions of modern-day European-American men as the 'natural' expression of their 'animalistic' core."--Journal of American History
