A sweeping story of Florida told through eight generations of family history



Part
family memoir, part political commentary, part apologia, Dream
State tells the grand and sometimes crazy story of Florida through the
eyes of one of its native daughters. Acclaimed journalist and NPR
commentator Diane Roberts has many family secrets to tell as she reveals
how her ancestors settled in Florida and wove themselves into the very
fabric of the state.



With a storyteller's talent for
setting great scenes, Roberts lays out the sweeping history of eight
generations of Browards and Bradfords, Tuckers and Robertses. Continuing
into the recent past with the botched presidential election of 2000,
Roberts renders Florida's inhabitants with a deep, familial affection.
While exposing the real people whom Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard
fictionalized for years, Dream State ultimately reveals the cogs and
wheels that make the state tick.

Part introspective soul searching, part cultural analysis, Tribal tackles the controversies plaguing college athletics, tracing the dubious historical underpinnings of Americans' most popular sport, offering a visceral and often funny analysis of its tribal thrills and deep contradictions.

Florida State's football team is always in the headlines, producing Heisman Trophy candidates, winning championships, and, at the same time, dealing with federal investigations into corruption and rape. Same as many big time collegiate sports programs. Seems no matter how the team transgresses off the field, if they excel on the field, everyone forgives them. Writer, professor and conflicted Seminole Diane Roberts looks at the problems plaguing her campus in Tallahassee, examining them within the context of college football itself and its significance in American life, and explores how the game shapes our culture.

The Myth of Aunt Jemima is a bold and exciting look at the way three centuries of white women writers have tackled the subject of race in both Britain and America. Diane Roberts challenges the widely-held belief that white women writers have simply acquiesed in majority cultural inscriptions of race. The Myth of Aunt Jemima shows how 'the mythic spheres of race, of the separation of black and white into low and high, other and originary, tainted and pure, remain to trouble a society struggling still to free itself from debilitating racial representations.'
Beautifully written with a powerful series of textual readings, The Myth of Aunt Jemima pushes at the boundaries of thought around the issues of race and gender. An important and innovative book.

This study examines the vexed and contradictory responses of the South's most celebrated novelist to the traditional representations of women that were bequeathed to him by his culture.

Tracing the ways in which William Faulkner characterized women in his fiction, Diane Roberts posits six familiar representations--the Confederate woman, the mammy, the tragic mulatta, the new belle, the spinster, and the mother--and through close feminist readings shows how the writer reactivated and reimagined them. As a southerner, Roberts writes, Faulkner inherited the images, icons, and demons of his culture. They are part of the matter of the region with which he engages, sometimes accepting, sometimes rejecting.

Drawing on extensive research into southern popular culture and the findings and interpretations of historians, Roberts demonstrates how Faulkner's greatest fiction, published during the 1920s and 1930s, grew out of his reactions to the South's extreme and sometimes violent attempts to redefine and solidify its hierarchical conceptions of race, gender, and class. Struggling to understand his region, Roberts says, Faulkner exposed the South's self-conceptions as quite precarious, with women slipping toward masculinity, men slipping toward femininity, and white identity slipping toward black. At their best, according to Roberts, Faulkner's novels reveal the South's failure to reassert the boundaries of race, gender, and class by which it has traditionally sustained itself.

This practical publication presents, in an accessible format, the main approaches to the laboratory investigation of the microbial quality of foodstuffs. As one of the largest organizations in Britain specializing in the microbiological examination of food samples, the PHLS has day-to-day experience in such work that has been drawn upon and distilled in producing this edition of the handbook. The methods described are mainly based on internationally recognised standard methods, and are therefore sound models upon which to develop procedures suitable for the wide range of foodstuffs submitted for microbiological examination and the variety of purposes for which this work is undertaken. They reflect good laboratory practice, while taking into account the need for rigorous internal and external quality assurance of all procedures.
