Rutgers Then and Now
Two Centuries of Campus Development, A Historical and Photographic Odyssey
By James W. Hughes, David Listokin, and Richard L. Edwards; Foreword by Jonathan Scott Holloway and Micah L. McCreary
Rutgers University Press
Rutgers University has come a long way since it was granted a royal charter in 1766. It migrated from a parsonage in Somerville, to New Brunswick-sited The Sign of the Red Lion tavern, to stately Old Queens, expanding northward along College Avenue, and beyond. Replete with more than 500 campus images, Rutgers, Then and Now offers stunning pictorial and historical evidence of what it was then, side by side, with what it is today, a vital hub for research and beloved home for students.
Post-Crisis Leadership
Resilience, Renewal, and Reinvention in the Aftermath of Disruption
Rutgers University Press
Crisis leadership—which takes account of leading before, during, and after crisis—is an imperative for leaders at all levels. Often relegated as an afterthought in crisis scholarship and practice, the ability to navigate the post-crisis period can distinguish highly effective leaders and organizations. This book introduces a research-informed framework for this critical, and often neglected, phase of crisis leadership.
Persisting Pandemics
Syphilis, AIDS, and COVID
Rutgers University Press
Syphilis, AIDS, and COVID disprove any belief that scientific discoveries have ended the period of acute epidemic diseases that once defined 19th century life and replaced them with chronic cardiovascular diseases and cancers. Today, we cope with a greater array of epidemics than those who lived during the 19th century, even though we have the biomedical means to control them. Our cumulative experience with epidemic diseases, together with our attempts to eliminate them, remains a continued component of our existence.
Making the Human
Race, Allegory, and Asian Americans
Rutgers University Press
Making the Human grapples with the interactions between narrative, materiality, and Asian American racialization. Examining contemporary debates over the role of Asian Americans in affirmative action, media representation, police brutality, and public health discourses, Sugino argues media and cultural narratives about Asian Americans shape contemporary ideas about humanity, justice, family, and nation in ways that naturalize hierarchy.
Lifting the Shadow
Reshaping Memory, Race, and Slavery in U.S. Museums
By Amy Sodaro
Rutgers University Press
Lifting the Shadow examines how the National Museum of African American History and Culture, Montgomery’s Legacy Museum and Tulsa’s Greenwood Rising are challenging the national narrative on slavery and race by placing racial oppression at the center of American history and linking historical slavery to contemporary racial injustice.
Inside Tenement Time
Suss, Spirit, and Surveillance
By Kezia Page
Rutgers University Press
Inside Tenement Time is a study of Jamaican literary and cultural texts presenting surveillance in the Caribbean. The project introduces two Afro-Indigenous variations on surveillance--sussveillance and spiritveillance--as exemplars of vernacular arts and shows that Caribbean hegemonies are flexible. The book reads the Smile Jamaica concert (1976) and the Tivoli Incursion (2010) as states of high surveillance emergency.

State Censorship and South Korea’s Cold War Film Culture
Rutgers University Press
