	BEGAG, AZOUZ; HARGREAVES, ALEC (INTRODUCTION & TRANSLATION FROM THE FRENCH). Ethnicity And Equality: France In The Balance. University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London: 2007. Softcover. Brand new book. In the fall of 2005 the streets of France were rocked by civil disturbances on a scale unseen for decades. Only months earlier Azouz Begag, France's first minister for equal opportunities and first-ever cabinet minister of North African immigrant origin, wrote an essay laying bare the festering social and ethnic injustices that, as can now be seen in hindsight, led to the riots. This essay, published here for the first time, brilliantly documents the socioeconomic inequalities, ethnic discrimination, and political neglect that have bred a volatile generation of minority ethnic youths deeply distrustful of a society they believe has failed them. Blending autobiography with sociological and political analysis, Begag shows how social peace in France depends on transforming these disaffected youths into galvanized citizens. His insights into the malaise of France's urban ghettos offer lessons for developed countries throughout the worldÑand hope for the similar challenges they face. Azouz Begag, widely acclaimed as both a novelist and as a researcher at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) prior to his appointment as minister for equal opportunities in 2005, is the author of more than twenty books, including his autobiographical novel, Shantytown Kid, available in a Bison Books edition. Alec G. Hargreaves is Ada Belle Winthrop-King Professor of French and the director of the Winthrop-King Institute for Contemporary French and Francophone Studies at Florida State University. The political and ideological challenges of reconciling republicanism with the demands of diversity are well illustrated by Azouz Begag's fine study, Ethnicity and Equality: France in the Balance.ÑRichard Wolin, The Nation Ethnicity and Equality is a powerful book which should be read by all those that are interested in issues of race, racism and multiracialism to understand its constraints and bottlenecks to a fully integrated society.ÑMwelwa C. Musambachime, International Journal of World Peace Azouz Begag offers a compelling analysis of the unrest in the urban banlieues of the past thirty years and calls for changes in the failed 'French model of integration.' Alec Hargreaves's seamless translation and incisive introduction frame Begag's groundbreaking study and blueprint for ethnic harmony.ÑChristopher P. Pinet, editor in chief of the French Review A witty, humorous and at the same time profound and moving analysis of the current situation in crisis-ridden areas of French cities which not only presents facts but also proposes sound and reasonable solutions.ÑProfessor Dina Sherzer, Department of French and Italian, University of Texas at Austin This book should be required reading for anyone interested in the challenges posed by living in an increasingly globalized world in which the accompanying cultural, religious, social, and political transformations force us to rethink our own identity.ÑDominic Thomas, author of Black France: Colonialism, Immigration, and Transnationalism ¶ 154 pages.

	CAMPBELL, JAMES. Exiled In Paris: Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Samuel Beckett, And Others On The Left Bank. Scribner, New York: 1995. Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition. In the spring of 1946, the black American novelist Richard Wright presented himself at the rue de Fleurus apartment of Gertrude Stein - a meeting that symbolized the passing of one generation of writers in Paris with the birth of another. Opening with this moment and ending with the death of Wright fourteen years later, Exiled in Paris celebrates the spirit of those years, the claim to freedom - from racism, from sexual constraint, the frenzy of anticommunism, freedom from conventional ethics and conventional opinion. Here are the eclectic personalities who fueled the literary and philosophical dramas of the period: James Baldwin, the brilliant American novelist; Alexander Trocchi, a Scotsman with great influence in literary Paris; Boris Vian, French engineer, novelist, chansionnier, and jazz musician who passed as an American Negro; and Maurice Girodias, publisher olf Olympia Press, whose catalogue placed written-to-order pornography next to such classics as Lolita and Naked Lunch.

	CAMUTO, ROBERT V. Corkscrewed: Adventures In The New French Wine Country. University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 2008. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Robert V. Camuto's interest in wine turned into a passion when he moved to France and began digging into local soils and cellars. Corkscrewed recounts Camuto's journey through France's myriad regionsÑand how the journey brought about a profound change in everything he believed about wine. The world of great wines was once dominated by great Bordeaux ch‰teaux. As those ch‰teaux were bought up by moguls and international corporations, the heart of French winemaking moved into the realm of small producers, whose wines reflect the stunning diversity of regional environment, soil, and cultureÑterroir. In this book we follow Camuto across France as he works harvesting grapes in Alsace, learns about wine and bombs in Corsica, and eats and drinks his way through the world's greatest bacchanalia in Burgundy. Along the route he discovers a new generation of winemakers who have rejected chemicals, additives, and technologically altered wines. His book charts an odyssey into this new world of French wine, a world of biodynamic winegrowing, herbal treatments, lunar cycles, and grape varieties long ago dismissed as difficult. A celebration of the diversity that makes French wine more than a mere commodity, Camuto's work is a delightful look beyond the supermarket to the various flavors offered by the true vintners of France. Robert V. Camuto has been a journalist for nearly thirty years. He is a regular contributor to the Wine Spectator and the Washington Post and his articles have appeared in many other magazines and newspapers. He and his family live in France. [Corkscrewed] inspires thirst and curiosity. . . . Just as a trip around the French countryside reveals dozens of dishes that never make it to French restaurants in the United States, Mr. Camuto's adventures will introduce readers to little-known French wines like Domaine Borrely-Martin of Provence, Ch‰teau MossŽ of Roussillon and Domaine des Tres Cantous of Gaillac and to the passionate individuals that persevere despite the absence of monetary reward. These may not be the wines that earn one spurs as a connoisseur, but they certainly may produce a worthy sense of humility at how much there is to learn. I can't wait to drink them.ÑEric Asimov, New York Times, Dining & Wine section [Camuto's] enthusiasm for underdog grapes, regions and winemakers makes him a pleasant guide along the back roads of France.ÑThomas Matthews, Wine Spectator If you think you would enjoy having a conversation with a passionate French wine craftsman, dive into Robert Camuto's delicious new book. I spend a good part of my life underground in France, and everything Camuto relates of his adventures rings true. And to those of you tiring of the varietal bandwagon, here's an escape route.ÑKermit Lynch, wine importer and author of Adventures on the Wine Route: A Wine Buyer's Tour of France [Camuto] is a stylish writer with a gift for describing the way his subjects look and think, and express themselves in words and wine. He explains each winemaker's approach and results, also adding a bit of insight about intra-French competition and the export market in the French wine industry today.ÑClaire Walter, Culinarycolorado.com A good read.ÑJancisRobinson.com Mr. Camuto's writing is precise, entertaining and compelling enough that it should appeal to audiences beyond the normally narrow scope reached by wine books. It reads very much like a collection of short stories that come together to form what is essentially a non-fiction novel. It travels a road that I'd very much like to follow. The individual stories alone are very much worth the price of admission. The fact that they come together to form a much greater whole makes Corkscrewed a rare gem in the field of wine literature and a highly recommended read.

Azouz Begag, widely acclaimed as both a novelist and as a researcher at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) prior to his appointment as minister for equal opportunities in 2005, is the author of more than twenty books, including his autobiographical novel, Shantytown Kid, available in a Bison Books edition. Alec G. Hargreaves is Ada Belle Winthrop-King Professor of French and the director of the Winthrop-King Institute for Contemporary French and Francophone Studies at Florida State University. The political and ideological challenges of reconciling republicanism with the demands of diversity are well illustrated by Azouz Begag's fine study, Ethnicity and Equality: France in the Balance.ÑRichard Wolin, The Nation Ethnicity and Equality is a powerful book which should be read by all those that are interested in issues of race, racism and multiracialism to understand its constraints and bottlenecks to a fully integrated society.ÑMwelwa C. Musambachime, International Journal of World Peace Azouz Begag offers a compelling analysis of the unrest in the urban banlieues of the past thirty years and calls for changes in the failed 'French model of integration.' Alec Hargreaves's seamless translation and incisive introduction frame Begag's groundbreaking study and blueprint for ethnic harmony.ÑChristopher P. Pinet, editor in chief of the French Review A witty, humorous and at the same time profound and moving analysis of the current situation in crisis-ridden areas of French cities which not only presents facts but also proposes sound and reasonable solutions.ÑProfessor Dina Sherzer, Department of French and Italian, University of Texas at Austin This book should be required reading for anyone interested in the challenges posed by living in an increasingly globalized world in which the accompanying cultural, religious, social, and political transformations force us to rethink our own identity.ÑDominic Thomas, author of Black France: Colonialism, Immigration, and Transnationalism ¶ 154 pages.

	CAMPBELL, JAMES. Exiled In Paris: Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Samuel Beckett, And Others On The Left Bank. Scribner, New York: 1995. Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition. In the spring of 1946, the black American novelist Richard Wright presented himself at the rue de Fleurus apartment of Gertrude Stein - a meeting that symbolized the passing of one generation of writers in Paris with the birth of another. Opening with this moment and ending with the death of Wright fourteen years later, Exiled in Paris celebrates the spirit of those years, the claim to freedom - from racism, from sexual constraint, the frenzy of anticommunism, freedom from conventional ethics and conventional opinion. Here are the eclectic personalities who fueled the literary and philosophical dramas of the period: James Baldwin, the brilliant American novelist; Alexander Trocchi, a Scotsman with great influence in literary Paris; Boris Vian, French engineer, novelist, chansionnier, and jazz musician who passed as an American Negro; and Maurice Girodias, publisher olf Olympia Press, whose catalogue placed written-to-order pornography next to such classics as Lolita and Naked Lunch.

	CAMUTO, ROBERT V. Corkscrewed: Adventures In The New French Wine Country. University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 2008. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Robert V. Camuto's interest in wine turned into a passion when he moved to France and began digging into local soils and cellars. Corkscrewed recounts Camuto's journey through France's myriad regionsÑand how the journey brought about a profound change in everything he believed about wine. The world of great wines was once dominated by great Bordeaux ch‰teaux. As those ch‰teaux were bought up by moguls and international corporations, the heart of French winemaking moved into the realm of small producers, whose wines reflect the stunning diversity of regional environment, soil, and cultureÑterroir. In this book we follow Camuto across France as he works harvesting grapes in Alsace, learns about wine and bombs in Corsica, and eats and drinks his way through the world's greatest bacchanalia in Burgundy. Along the route he discovers a new generation of winemakers who have rejected chemicals, additives, and technologically altered wines. His book charts an odyssey into this new world of French wine, a world of biodynamic winegrowing, herbal treatments, lunar cycles, and grape varieties long ago dismissed as difficult. A celebration of the diversity that makes French wine more than a mere commodity, Camuto's work is a delightful look beyond the supermarket to the various flavors offered by the true vintners of France. Robert V. Camuto has been a journalist for nearly thirty years. He is a regular contributor to the Wine Spectator and the Washington Post and his articles have appeared in many other magazines and newspapers. He and his family live in France. [Corkscrewed] inspires thirst and curiosity. . . . Just as a trip around the French countryside reveals dozens of dishes that never make it to French restaurants in the United States, Mr. Camuto's adventures will introduce readers to little-known French wines like Domaine Borrely-Martin of Provence, Ch‰teau MossŽ of Roussillon and Domaine des Tres Cantous of Gaillac and to the passionate individuals that persevere despite the absence of monetary reward. These may not be the wines that earn one spurs as a connoisseur, but they certainly may produce a worthy sense of humility at how much there is to learn. I can't wait to drink them.ÑEric Asimov, New York Times, Dining & Wine section [Camuto's] enthusiasm for underdog grapes, regions and winemakers makes him a pleasant guide along the back roads of France.ÑThomas Matthews, Wine Spectator If you think you would enjoy having a conversation with a passionate French wine craftsman, dive into Robert Camuto's delicious new book. I spend a good part of my life underground in France, and everything Camuto relates of his adventures rings true. And to those of you tiring of the varietal bandwagon, here's an escape route.ÑKermit Lynch, wine importer and author of Adventures on the Wine Route: A Wine Buyer's Tour of France [Camuto] is a stylish writer with a gift for describing the way his subjects look and think, and express themselves in words and wine. He explains each winemaker's approach and results, also adding a bit of insight about intra-French competition and the export market in the French wine industry today.ÑClaire Walter, Culinarycolorado.com A good read.ÑJancisRobinson.com Mr. Camuto's writing is precise, entertaining and compelling enough that it should appeal to audiences beyond the normally narrow scope reached by wine books. It reads very much like a collection of short stories that come together to form what is essentially a non-fiction novel. It travels a road that I'd very much like to follow. The individual stories alone are very much worth the price of admission. The fact that they come together to form a much greater whole makes Corkscrewed a rare gem in the field of wine literature and a highly recommended read.
