This book is SO GOOD. The introduction argues that racism in the US is inextricably tied up with the representation of the human body, and the following chapters look at the failure of the US to create memorials to Emancipation, slavery, and the Civil War because of this problem. Fantastic chapters on the Richmond Lee Monument, memorials to Common Soldiers, etc.

Ain't No Making It: Aspirations and Attainment in a Low-Income Neighborhood by Jay Macleod
Ain't No Making It: Aspirations and Attainment in a Low-Income Neighborhood by Jay Macleod
Third ed Westview press, 2009
2nd Ed Westview Press, 1995.
The first edition (1987) looked at 2 groups of young boys in a poor neighborhood-- a housing project-- and explored why some thought they could make it and other couldn't.
The 2nd edition went back and found out that pretty much no one made it. Very depressing, very sociologically rich. I used this in class for years; it really, really got to a lot of the students.
The third edition went back for another update on the men. Things got better for many of them. Again very sociologically rich.
The amazing thing about my version of the 3rd edition is that when I got it at a sociology conference right when it was released-- the Easterns? ASA? I forget now-- the author was there with a bunch of the men from the book. I got a bunch of them to sign the book and got to tell them about what the book had meant to my students all these years. Very moving.

I had to get this one--instead of the Complete or Definitive Annotated Alice-- when I found out that the illustrations were the ones done by Peter Newell, which are hard-ish to come by.

Peake wrote Gormenghast, which I have never actually read, even though it's been on my to-read list since the tv adaption came out.
Anyway, he also drew these, which are more whimsical than I expected, given Gormenghast
.
Lovely. It makes me think there's some class subtext to the drawings that I'm missing.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland; Rodney Matthews, Illus.
Templar Books, 2009.
Rodney Matthews designs a lot of album coves and draws science fiction covers. Bringing something new to Alice.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland; Tove Jansson, Illus
A friend was celebrating about finding a Moomin book, and I didn't know what that was, and got so schooled on Tove Jansson that when I found out she illustrated Alice, I went on a quest to find a copy.
I love that she chose to illustrate moments from the text that no one else had drawn before (that I've seen anyway), like Alice dreaming that she's walking hand in hand with her cat Dinah, asking her if she has ever eaten a bat.
Contrasting her Mad Hatter and March Hare with Steadman's (earlier) and Moser's (coming) is interesting. Hers are vaguely disreputable, but not too. Steadman's are in some Hunter S. Thompson-esque trip, and Moser's are menacing like the bad guys in a Neil Gaiman novel.
