新刊『インドのクーリーたち：忘れられた記憶』
A young poet and writer inspire a collection of historical and cultural poems, essays, and a psychological shock of the telltales of time. With meditation on womanhood, Indo-Africans and African Indians tell the unspoken history of the horrors of indentured descent, dating to the present biologically pre-disposed trauma of their daughters. Slavery of Indians in the early 1800s to early 1900s arose the name of Grimitiyas, Coolies, and the forgotten slaves of history. This book enlightens us with the epic accounts of pregnancy, sex exploitation, nostalgia, and the well ripped apart women of the connection of indentured ancestors and our generation. Each exposition depicts the study of culture through mixed-ethnicities, racial trauma, suicide, disease, and the horrors of captivity, to a similar face sitting in a classroom from 2022 NYC. Author takes us on a prophecy through the heart-wrenching narratives of emotions and experiences that question the idea of womanhood, sexuality, morality, and culturalism that holds us together.（引用元）

新刊『明白な風景に紛れた：ポエ、ホーソン、ジョーエル・チャンドラー・ハリスの奴隷資本主義』
For as long as the United States owed its prosperity to a New World Plantation complex, from colonial settlement until well into the twentieth century, the toxic practices associated with its permutations stimulated imaginary solutions to the contradiction with the nation's enlightenment ideals and republican ideology. Ideals of liberty, democracy, and individualism could not be separated from a history of forcible coercion, oligarchic power, and state-protected economic opportunism. While recent historical scholarship about the relation of capitalism to slavery explores the depths at which U.S. ascension was indebted to global plantation slave economies, John T. Matthews probes how exemplary works of literature represented the determination to deny the open secret of a national atrocity. Difficult truths were hidden in plain sight, allowing beholders at once to recognize and disavow knowledge they would not act on. What were the habits of mind that enabled free Americans to acknowledge what was intolerable yet act as if they did not? In what ways did non-slave-owning Americans imagine a relation to slavery that both admitted its iniquity and accepted its benefits? How did the reconfiguration of the plantation system after the Civil War elicit new literary forms for dealing with its perpetuation of racial injustice, expropriation of labor, and exploitation for profit of the land?（引用元）

新刊『ジューンテーンスに』
On Juneteenth Combining personal anecdotes with poignant facts gleaned from the annals of American history, Gordon-Reed shows how, from the earliest presence of Black people in Texas to the day in Galveston on June 19, 1865, when Major General Gordon Granger announced the end of legalized slavery in the state, African-Americans played an integral role in the Texas story. Reworking the traditional "Alamo" framework, she powerfully demonstrates, among other things, that the slave- and race-based economy not only defined the fractious era of Texas independence but precipitated the Mexican-American War and, indeed, the Civil War itself.（引用元）
新刊『元帳と鎖：国内奴隷貿易はいかに米国を形づけたか』
An award-winning historian reveals the harrowing forgotten story of America's internal slave trade―and its role in the making of America. Slave traders are peripheral figures in most histories of American slavery. But these men―who trafficked and sold over half a million enslaved people from the Upper South to the Deep South―were essential to slavery's expansion and fueled the growth and prosperity of the United States. Author recounts the shocking story of domestic slave trade by tracing the lives and careers of Issac Franklin, John Armfield, and Rice Ballard, who built the largest and most powerful slave-trading operation in American history. Far from social outcasts, they were rich and widely respected businessmen, and their company sat at the center of capital flows connecting southern fields to northeastern banks. Bringing together entrepreneurial ambition and remorseless violence toward enslaved people, domestic slave traders produced an atrocity that forever transformed the nation. （引用元）
