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.

Check out or *expanded fiction section* for your summer vacation reading. We've got your Michael Chabon, Jeanette Winterson, Margaret Atwood, Jonathan Lethem and many, many more at Internationalist Books........

*magazines*

*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 articles on DJ Danger Mouse, Oliver Sain, Wilson Simonal and much, much more. We'll let y'all know when the summer issue is released.
