Out today! REWRITING AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE, ed. by Charles L. Davis II, Kathryn E. Holliday, & Joanna Merwood-Salisbury. A new collection reframing 19th-c. built environments as key arenas of nationhood, race, settler colonialism & institutional building.
A book cover titled Rewriting American Architecture: Contesting the Myths of National Culture resting on a dark wooden surface. The cover features a vintage map of North America overlaid with large, bright orange typography spelling out "RE-WRITING AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE." At the bottom right, the text lists the editors: "Edited by Charles L. Davis II, Kathryn E. Holliday, and Joanna Merwood-Salisbury."Graphic featuring a endorsement quote from Louis P. Nelson, University of Virginia, author of Architecture and Empire in Jamaica.

The text reads:

"Beautifully organizing twenty expertly researched case studies, these editors deftly dismiss stale histories of nineteenth-century American architecture that embrace an uncontested arc of historical progress and American success and, in deference to professional architects, uncomfortably frame their subject as 'protomodern.' Rather, these essays center buildings and places in thick contexts of local and regional identities and racial politics, and they understand users as agents, expanding the horizon of architectural makers. Understanding buildings as evidence of contested and competing visions of the making of nineteenth-century America, this refreshing collection helps us see architecture in real historical time and will define the field for years to come."Graphic featuring an endorsement quote from Irene Cheng, California College of the Arts, author of The Shape of Utopia: The Architecture of Radical Reform in Nineteenth-Century America.

The text reads:

"This groundbreaking book mounts an important challenge to the canonical narratives of nineteenth-century US architectural history. In place of traditional themes such as aesthetic innovation, technological progress, and cultural assimilation, Rewriting American Architecture foregrounds architecture's relationship to topics such as settler colonialism, transnationality, slavery, race, land, and labor. Together, these critical and methodologically groundbreaking essays expand our understanding of the heterogeneous authors, actors, buildings, and forces that compose the 'American' built environment."

How did Elaine May turn production chaos into a 1970s cinema masterpiece? 🎬 Out now, Todd Berliner’s HOLLYWOOD RENEGADE explores the making of Mikey and Nicky & May’s bold directorial legacy. Order your copy today: utpress.utexas.edu/9...
The cover features a black-and-white promotional photograph of a woman standing between two men in a room: a man on the left standing near a doorway, a woman in the center leaning against a dresser looking at a mirror, and a seated man on the right gesturing toward them. The main title "HOLLYWOOD RENEGADE" and the author's name "TODD BERLINER" are printed in bold, stylized yellow block letters.White quote text on a black background set inside a subtle vertical border line, reading:

"Todd Berliner's splendidly written book focuses on one remarkable movie but takes in a far broader territory, including the nature of improvisation, nuances of film acting, and the interplay between Elaine May's intensive creativity and the distinctive talents of John Cassavetes and Peter Falk. Equally important, it explores the prejudice against amateurism in mainstream cinema. Intelligent, perceptive, and eminently readable, this is a trove of ideas, insights, and intriguing behind-the-scenes details."

Below the quote, the attribution text features David Sterritt in bold yellow text, followed by yellow serif italic text reading author of Jump Cuts, Tracking Shots, and Scherzos.White quote text on a black background set inside a subtle vertical border line, reading:

"Todd Berliner's compelling book demonstrates how Elaine May's Mikey and Nicky became a unique document on multiple levels—oblique storytelling, indirect dialogue and subtext, and spontaneous performance—elevating it above the small gangster story at its core. Berliner shows how Elaine May, the so-called amateur, dared to pull it off."

Below the quote, the attribution text features Alexandra Seros in bold yellow text, followed by yellow serif italic text reading author of Ida Lupino, Forgotten Auteur: From Film Noir to the Director's Chair.White quote text on a black background set inside a subtle vertical border line, reading:

"There are cult film classics, once overlooked but now insistent in their excellence, that owe their renewed reputation to the efforts of dedicated scholars and fan researchers. With Todd Berliner, Mikey and Nicky has found its strongest advocate as he situates the film in its original moment (and beyond) with rigor and analyzes its stylistic breakthroughs (especially around acting and physical performance) with verve. An essential book on an essential film."

Below the quote, the attribution text features Dana Polan in bold yellow text, followed by yellow serif italic text reading author of Dreams of Flight: The Great Escape in American Film and Culture.

"Under the state’s fabled big sky, there’s always been room for a variety of gods. Yet the centuries-old struggle between their devotees continues—some seeking dominance, some jostling for their own place under the TX sun. [This book] is a superb, compelling, essential account of how we got here."
