NEW ARRIVALS

*books

Inside Iraq*
Edited, $15.95
A timely read that covers the history, people and modern conflicts of 
Iraq.  Fifteen accessible and insightful essays, written by historians, 
journalists, and scholars, shed light on the present-day U.S. invasion 
and occupation of Iraq.

*Epitaph for a Desert Anarchist*
James Bishop, $12
"Epitaph" is a biography of writer, naturalist, philosopher and social 
critic, Edward Abbey.  A contradictory activist, Abbey wrote 
passionately in defense of the Southwest and its inhabitants, taking the 
philosophy of anarchy beyond social and political conditions to the 
defense of the environment.

*Drink: A Social History
*Andrew Barr, $9.95
Andrew Barr's book looks at the cultural, social and political 
influences that determine what we choose to drink, where we choose to 
drink it, and with whom.  Touching on subjects as varied as the medical 
prescription of alcohol, the origins of the custom of toasting, and the 
relationship between food and sexuality, this book is both entertaining 
and thought-provoking.  Cheers!!

*Fire in a Canebrake: The Last Mass Lynching in America*
Laura Wexler, $14.95
"Fire in a Canebrake" is an account of the Moore's Ford lynching that 
took place in 1946 in rural Georgia, as well as a social, political and 
economic history of racism in the post WWII south.  Wexler's book is an 
illuminating, if saddening, read on the roots of modern racism and race 
relations in the South.

*Daylight Magazine*
Issue #2, $10
In the second issue of locally-produced Daylight Magazine, 
photojournalists and Iraqi civilians present different perspectives on 
modern-day Iraq.  From the landscape of war-damaged Baghdad to the 
images of Kurdish mass graves in Northern Iraq, these photographs 
present the human story not found in U.S. media coverage of the war and 
occupation.  Daylight Magazine's summer issue launch event will be held 
on July 15 at Branch Gallery in Carrboro, 6-9pm.  See the current issue 
of the Independent Weekly for more information.

*All Around*
Issue 11, $6.95
Finally!  A well-designed children's magazine that is great for children 
of all ages.  "All Around" is full of colorful cartoons, reminiscent of 
Richard Scarry's popular children's books (remember "Cars and Trucks and 
Things That Go"?).  Issue #11 is all about inventing, inventors and new 
inventions.

*Wax Poetics*
Issue #8 "The Golden Egg", $8
Wax poetics is a quarterly (sometimes) magazine that focuses on hip-hop 
production, record collecting and music history.  Internationalist Books 
just received another shipment of the popular spring issue featuring

more. We'll let y'all know when the summer issue is released.
